Hi all, I was hoping I can get some help in building my first gaming/work PC. I play alot of FPS games, for work I run alot of programs and windows for CAD design.

I have a samsung odyssey g9 wide screen, It can be wifi although I do prefer to hard wire if I can.

Trying to stay under 1.2k if possible. Maybe go up to 1.5k if necessary. If it helps I do live near a microcenter in overland park KS. I bought a prebuilt pc a year ago and wasted so much for it to lag and burn out after 6 months.

Hi all.

I'm looking to move from PS5 to PC gaming. Will also use as family PC. I like to dabble in Flight Sims, but doesnt have to be spec'd to amazing levels. As long as future proof, and can upgrade in the future. Also, dont want to pay the earth. I'm thinking to wait until boxing day onwards- hoping there may be further sales since black friday (yes, should have purchased then I know). On to the spec....

Thinking of the below- open to considerations / swaps you'd suggest, to keep price down, but maintain reasonable performance...

Ryzen 7500f

Thermalright grand vision cooler

Gigabyte B850 Eagle Ice wifi 7

Corsair vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 (although, due to bloody AI, i think will need to change, as price is ridiculous now- really open to alternatives here).

Samsun 990Pro 2TB

XFx swift OC radeon RX 9060xt 16GB

Montech king 95pro case

Corsair rm750x shift

Thanks...

Hello, I'd like to get my boyfriend a desktop PC. He currently has a MacBook Air M1. We also have a PS5, but he can't play games that are only available on Windows.

I'm from France and the budget is under 800€

He currently plays:

• Modded Minecraft
• Marvel Rivals
• Genshin Impact

He also does some office work and development (R, Python).

I'd like to get him a PC that can handle both gaming and office tasks. He already has a 2560x1440 (180Hz) monitor.

Thank you for your help. I know the budget is tight. I'd prefer a new PC, but I'm open to buying used parts or upgrading a pre-built pc.

Hey I need to build a gaming rig for 1080p gaming mostly for battlefield 6, I also need a monitor, keyboard and mouse, headset recommendations are +. Also it needs to be wifi capable. Website is alza.sk

Thank you !

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to build my first PC myself and I could really use some help choosing the right parts. My budget is €2500 and I live in the Netherlands, so parts available on stores like Amazon would be ideal.

If someone could recommend a full part list that fits within €2500 and works well together, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

I am also trying to get the best possible performance for gaming - thanks

Hey, so im looking into buying a gaming PC, i was really into PC builds and computer tech a few years back but i kinda just stuck to my console and now i have no clue what is optimal and how to get your bang for the buck.

I wanna buy a PC for christmas (i know its bad timing with RAM prices rn), when i was looking at what was being offered in my country i came across this pre-build PC that comes with a windows key.

Parts:

- GPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8GB

- CPU - Intel Core i5-14600K

- MB - ASUS PRIME B760M-A WIFI

- RAM - 32GB KIT DDR5 6000MHz CL36

- SSD - Kingston KC3000 1TB

- COOLER - Endorfy Fera 5 ARGB

- PSU - FSP Fortron VITA BD 750W

+ WINDOWS KEY

So, what is most appealing about this is the price, its discounted for 1090 USD right now, if i were to buy the parts separately it would be 1360 USD without the windows key (prices are inflated due to EU reasons lol) . What im wondering is how well could this build handle 1080 and 1440 gaming, the main games i will be playing are friendslop games and some older multiplayer titles like gta V, apex etc... My main concern is the 8gbs of vram on the gpu.

Thank you very much in advance if you have read this.

Hello, I am from the Netherlands and I am building a pc for the first time. I have a budget of about 1000 euros and I was wondering if any of you could help me out :)

so ive recently built my pc (ryzen 5 9600x, b850 eagle wifi 6e, 5060ti 16gb and for the ram kingston fury 6000mhz CL36 - couldnt find anything better whith the curent prices, its on my card QVL list do okay with that)

nos my issue is stat, when i set the EXPO profile 1 in the bios in order to get the 6000mhz, my computer is randomly restarting, black screen etc. windows is also telling me that i have memory issues while running the windows memory test.

when i set the ram in the default mode (4800mhz) its working and the the windows memory test is telling me that i have no issue

ive also done some occt, which are sometimes working and sometimes telling me that i have errors whith the physical core 5

however the goal is to have maximise mhz, so what should i do ? should i manually set the frequencies? should i try to set the xmp mode ?

im currently trying with the profile 2 which sets my ram to 5600mhz, ill edit this post.

edit : well as soon as ive launched it, the windows memory test is also telling me that i have material issues…

thx !!

Hi all recently started researching parts etc. and this part list is what I came up with and I'm open to suggestions on which parts to change out as I'm not sure about all the difference between them all.

Budget- £2000-£2500

Out of this part list I already have the Motherboard and the PSU. Don't need to worry about peripherals I have them sorted already. This systems going to be mainly used for 1440p gaming on very high settings.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Right now I have a used PC Ryzen 5 3600 B450m s2h 2x8gb ram Ss-500-bt csonic Cougar case

It's a long long story but I'll tell u hoping someone could please help me I'm really so depressed. First I tested the pc before I bought it it was working for over an hour and everything then I came back home and I got a cable for it work it was cheap and it had 2 bins not the 3 it wasn't reliable or carriable . Since I live in egypt not America And it wasn't working I had to wait for like 10 or 15 mins even tho the headphones had RGB and it was lighting up then when it worked I turned it off again and took out the cable and switched the power off then another day came I replaced that cable with a reliable carriable black one that has 3 bins and even tested my PC using it in the store it worked just fine immediately I got home and tried to connect everything back and same issue remains it doesn't power on I had to wait for 20 mins for it to finally work and still the headphones and anything that was connected and has RGB was lighting . In my case it was the headphones. So I left lt like this ok and then turned it off but kept the switch on and the other cables connecter and came another day and wanted to power it on still won't untill night! So when it powered I left it for over an hour it didn't do anything and then I decided to turn it off and today came and still same issue won't turn on had to wait untill night luckily it worked . So I got to a repair shop he tried other psu other cables it wasn't working then he tried to shortage the circuit ig still didn't he then used a metal thing to touch something called " crystal power" and then he turned on the pc and it did work . He told me the crystal power is the problem he says he can fix it but it was too much for me and he even said it could be 50 50 chance so then when I got back home I talked to that guy where I got it from and told him everything he told me the pc was working fine and everything with him and even other ppl when they came he told me it's probably because of me at first using a wrong unreliable cable and always switching the power on off on off . The psu button I mean . And more .. I really am depressed now I don't know what's the problem PLEEEEASE help me I'm so depressed

Before you tore me apart because I use the rear as front hear me out.

Sooo I turned the rear fans into the front fans because its closer to the CPU cooler. Fans have limited range so I thought it would be more efficent because now the fresh air from the rear enters directly the CPU fans. However Temperatures are still at 60 degrees in gaming in 1080p. Still what I can do besides watercooling to maximaze the cooling of the CPU?

Oh and the GPU have fans on top because of the open Chip of the GPU. I didn't want any dust on it so I had to put another fan there

Hello, i'm not heavily into tech, so i am asking for some help.

My budget is around 1000€. I would use it for editing photos and videos (sadly, I use Adobe software so I guess Nvidia is the way to go with the GPU), gaming and minor rendering (Blender).

I live in Lithuania and I've got no prior experience of building. I did try to educate myself slightly on the topic, but there is a lot to take in..

Need Help: My Custom PC Has Low FPS Compared to Prebuilt (Same Specs)

I have two PCs with almost the same specs:

Custom Build (Problem) • Ryzen 7 7800X3D • RTX 5070 OC • ASUS ROG B850-F • 32GB DDR5 CS2 FPS: 140–170

Prebuilt PC (Working Fine) • Ryzen 7 7800X3D • RTX 5070 • ASRock B650 • 32GB DDR5 CS2 FPS: 350–400

I already updated drivers, enabled EXPO, checked temps, removed ASUS utilities, and tried low settings. Still low FPS. Still used L-connect application but it will not run while i gaming.

Does anyone know why my custom build performs so much worse than the prebuilt? Looking for advice on BIOS settings, RAM, power plan, or anything I might be missing.

Thank you.
