I have been contemplating building a PC for my game development endeavours. There are so many inconsistencies with compatible PC Parts which got me looking into buying a pre-built PC. Can anyone recommend a resource that can help me find the right parts before I decide on building a PC or buying a pre-built one?

Have you looked in the Computer subsection of the forums, where this thread would be a better fit? Originally Posted by Biggfiner

Yes, I have tried it but the guides there are focused on gaming PCs. I am looking more at a workstation PC.

So you skipped the computer forum for being too gaming-focused and went straight to the MMO-game focused section? And why do you care about PC building? You're advertising a website in your profile about PC-building you cheeky advertiser! Originally Posted by Biggfiner

I really am considering buying a prebuilt workstation PC like the HP Z6. but, if I can find a good source for building a work station PC in 2021 then ill consider that.

Not that this thread smells like anything other than a weird advert but...
The difference between a "workstation" and a "gaming PC" is a graphics card.
Since you're after a workstation for game development, just buy a gaming PC. They're the same thing.

So you're a writer at a website where "we help consumers find or build the best pc for their needs" but you need help building a pc for yourself?

How far are you in your game development journey? You can get started with just a basic gaming PC nothing special. Once your project actually grows and you start to have tons of stuff in it the PC starts to matter more.

I know you're giving the benefit of the doubt but his profile is advertising a pc-building help website. Originally Posted by Viikkis

Not super far but the game design is complete. I want something that will sustain the project. I don't want to have to keep swapping PC as it may slow down my progress.

Gaming GPU are not the same as Workstation GPU. Quadro cards offer more features ... I currently have a gaming PC but an upgrade is essential at this point Originally Posted by Blackmist

Building for yourself is so very worth it.
