r/PCMasterrace Builds FAQ
How should I use the build lists to choose parts?
Use them as templates at multiple price points. You can build between tiers and mix and match, then ask for feedback in PC building communities before buying.
Can I use the lists if I live outside the US?
Yes. Open the PCPartPicker part list link and change the country in the top right; it will try to show the cheapest compatible parts in that country.
Can I lower RAM to reduce cost?
You can drop from 32GB to 16GB using 2x8GB for dual channel to save around 100 dollars. The page advises against going below 16GB and against this reduction for the two highest-priced builds.
