| I need help building a pc for my son. Posted: 30 Nov 2019 12:34 PM PST My 11 year old son, has asked me if we could buy him a computer. I told him we couldn't afford it, because we just recently bought our house, instead of renting the past few years. It broke my heart to see him so sad, so I thought about it, and over the next 6 months, I'll be able to save up $400 and buy him a computer, the thing is though, we both know nothing about computers. That's why I'm here, my son recommended I use reddit. I asked him what it is, and he showed me. Because I'm his dad, we are sharing an account, so I can make sure it's safe what he is viewing. I did a little research online, but I'm still clueless about computers. He said he wanted to play Fortnite and Minecraft on his computer. I was hoping, you guys could recommend me what parts I should get for him. He's really excited and I want him to be happy. Thanks in advance. -David [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| TIFU by running my new build at subpar settings for months Posted: 30 Nov 2019 08:55 AM PST I built my first PC a few months ago, didn't realize that I had to enable XMP profile for my ram to run at the level it says on the box. Been running at 2/3 speed for months. Is there anything else that needs to be done post-build to get the most out of your computer? I just installed the OS didn't really mess around with anything else. I've heard about fan curves but is the default fine?

| Very Modest (Read: Extreme Budget) Gaming PC for Christmas Gift Posted: 30 Nov 2019 07:37 AM PST Hello, I am looking to build a super budget gaming PC with my 10-year-old son for his Christmas gift this year. He is looking mostly to play Fortnite, Minecraft, ROBLOX, and other indie games he sees Youtubers play (Bigfoot, etc). I have been lurking here and watching all the "2019 budget PC" videos on YouTube, however, I could really use some help. My budget is somewhere around $350 and the goal is just to get him into the world of PC gaming. He is currently a console gamer but has shown interest in PC gaming for a while now. It seems like AMD chips are the way to go for budget builds. I am torn between going with an APU for now with a better CPU that opens the path for adding a GPU later, or getting a cheaper CPU and getting the GPU now. Here is what I have come up with so far for an integrated build:
Or I could go with a lesser CPU and get the GPU now with the plan to upgrade the CPU down the line? Here is the GPU build I have so far: You will notice that I had to lower the memory down to 8GB to get me closer to budget. This build is still over budget. I would probably also look for a used RX 570 on eBay to get the price down even more.
The other reason for the GPU build is that he really wants to play the game The Isle. He is really into dinosaurs and the game specs state that it won't run with integrated graphics. Thoughts? Help? Thank you in advance for your time [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| GPU Advice - 1440p 144hz gaming Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:15 AM PST So I've upgraded my monitor - bought the LG LG 34GK950F as an upgrade from generic 60hz Samsung monitor(s). Resolution of the new monitor 3440 x 1440 Trouble is, I will definitely struggle to get 144FPS average with my current GPU, GTX 980. Rest of system is Ryzen 7 2700x, 16GB Ram. What are recommendations for the upgrade, mainly Games like Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Diablo. Some future proofing also be good. Have been thinking RTX 270 Super, as thats at the top end of budget. I'm in UK if recommending any shops! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First build, Ram and SSD questions Posted: 30 Nov 2019 06:56 AM PST Hey guys, i'm building my first PC (Ryzen 5 3600, RX 590, B450 Tomahawk) and i'm about to buy ram but I don't exactly know how big of a difference ram is from the next. Like, is the difference between 3200 and 3000 huge? is it something that an entry level guy like me would even really notice? As for SSD, should I get a 2.5 inch SSD or an M.2? I don't fully know the pros and cons of either of them. and if anyone knows of any specific ssd or ram that I should buy let me know please :) thank you [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ram bad? memtest 3133mhz 27 errors 3h, 2h 2133mhz 0 errors Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:09 AM PST Hello, I've been having trouble with my PC and I think the problem may be the ram. I'm able to boot at 3133mhz with my 3200mhz and it had been working for a while but the PC suddenly started to have trouble booting up. It breaks Windows and I have to repair it to use it every time. I ran memtest and got a 27 errors in 3h, also ran it at 2133mhz and got 0 errors in 2h. Does that mean the RAM is bad or is it normal? I'll try going down from 3133 and see what works. What is strange is that it worked for a couple weeks in 3133mhz but now it doesn't work. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 02:10 PM PST Hello, i am going to upgrade my rig from i5-2500,8gb ram to ryzen based one. I already orderes Gigabyte B450M S2H mobo and XPG 2x8 16gb ram. So here is the question. Please answer it as you know i am a college student. Should i go for a R5 1600 or R5 2600. I can buy 1600 one in following weeks but 2600 is a little throttling me so i will buy it next month if i decide on it. Is there a real difference? By far i can see 10% gaming experience, other casual stuff i will be doing wont bother me on both cpus. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:50 AM PST Hey all. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22205917 So everything really checks out, the build is from around August 2013 so the RAM and HDD have really taken a toll I assume. Originally I had a GTX 780 SC, but that burnt out about 2 years ago and I found a 970 for 125 on craigslist to replace it. What can I do with this build? I can't really spend too much right now, maybe like $600 USD max. Should I just wait a few months and try to double the budget and build new? I see some deals around right now and I've been planning on holding out, but I've cut back a lot on gaming because of my pc's lackluster performance and i've just become quite bored.

| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:59 PM PST I'm looking for a 3900x CPU, MBO AND RAM build that is under 650£ and I can overcloco for gaming [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PC loses display but power remains on Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:53 PM PST Randomly (sometimes when gaming, sometimes when doing nothing like just listening to spotify) having loss of display for my PC. When they cut out, all the lights and fans (cpu, gpu, ram) all stay on. However, if I hold down the power button, the PC won't turn off, so I don't feel like it can be the GPU... Help would be much appreciated as I'm stuck. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How can I pursue my pc building interest? Posted: 30 Nov 2019 11:41 AM PST About 3 years ago I got very interested in pc builds and I built my first one, which ended up being a terrible build that didn't work correctly. A year ago, a built a second one, with no help this time, and its a really good budget build that I'm very proud of. I love gaming but honestly the whole pc building experience is what has my attention right now. I would love to build tons of more pc's right now but I just don't have the money being a teenager. Does anybody have any tips on how I could still do activities with this newfound hobby? Also what kind of careers could I pursue out of high school to keep with PC building? Thanks for any responses!! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:40 PM PST Just bought a new ADATA SX8200 Pro 1TB on black friday. I have a 256gb nvme boot drive and 1TB HDD that came with my PC. I only have 1 m.2 slot on my mobo. Any reason to not just buy a pcie adapter and continue to use the smaller ssd as the boot drive and new larger drive for game storage? Computer is for casual use and playing video games. Could always just clone onto the larger drive but why not have more storage? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:31 PM PST Looking to upgrade my GPU from a 970 to either a 1080 or 1080 ti. I was wondering if it'd be worth it at the moment, I could get a 1080 for about £300 and a 1080 ti for about £500, which of the two would be the better deal at that price, and is it even worth upgrading to one of them? I've been able to use the 970 for quite a while as I only game in 1080p, but even at that resolution it's starting to struggle a bit now. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

| Seeking suggestions for my price-to-performance build (<$1000 USD) Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:29 PM PST I'm very excited to build my PC within the next week and was wondering if you have any final suggestions. I'm trying to achieve maximum price-to-performance without skimping out on other parts such as the PSU and case. My total budget is under $1000 USD post tax and rebates. Thanks in advance for any help! Currently, I plan on ordering these parts:

| Need help with transferring windows Posted: 30 Nov 2019 01:04 PM PST So I only have a single 1tb hard drive in my old rig currently, but I recently bought a 500gb ssd. My question is how do I transfer my windows to my ssd? If I can do it without using some type of software would be a plus. And would I lose most of my settings in the transfer? Thanks .
