| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:47 AM PDT I wanted to support AMD with this build but couldn't justify the personal suffering due to my Gigabyte 5600 XT (performance bios bricked GPU, hours of driver combinations / new cables / , random crashes etc). I will consider AMD GPUs in future if this driver issue can be fixed. Plz allow me to alt-tab with my $1000 computer! Is that a crime? So welcome to the family RTX 2060 KO Ultra. Plug n play first try! I understand that this isn't the "optimal" time to buy a new GPU, but please don't ruin my moment ;). [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:54 PM PDT Ryzen 9 3900 with stock cooler Asus Tuf Gaming x570 (WiFi) G.skill Ripjaws 32g 3200mhz MSI GeForce 1070 (From my old computer) Crucial NVMe Drive 650W PSU Various other storage hard drives. Info; I'm getting awful FPS/Lag and Drops in pretty much every game I try. Bannerlord, Destiny 2, Counterstrike, Rimworld!? So many more! I had an older Intel system from 2012 and decided to walk over to the AMD side. The amount of headaches I've been having just getting everything to work has been frustrating. I've ironed out a lot of the problems but I am stumped now. If I cant get this to work this week, I am returning the CPU/MoBo to MicroCenter for an Intel. I was wondering if anyone could point me to some info that could potentially fix my issues? What I've Tried; Latest BIOS. Latest Chipset. Latest Nvidia Driver. Fresh install of Windows. Up to date Windows. All drivers are installed. Posting CPU temps under 50c consistently even when in game or in any program. Idle temps are under 40c. Messed with all Windows power setting including the AMD profiles. Turned off pretty much all onboard peripherals besides ethernet since this MoBo has some past issues with Bluetooth/WiFi. Everything looks good in CPU-Z. I decided on the 3900x because I do a lot of CPU intensive work in audio and in some engineering programs like Eagle or Spice. I also Game heavily. Seemed like the best of both worlds. *edit I need to add that I am 2k gaming. When I go down to 1080p I get better performance, but the stuttering/ spikes are still there. *2nd edit I am getting a bit overwhelmed trying to keep up with the amount of responses I am getting. I need to sit down and try a bunch of these suggestions. I just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone for the quick response. I was expecting maybe 2 people to chime in. Going to report in a bit later with my findings after I do some troubleshooting! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Beware of Corsair MP510b NVME SSD Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:41 AM PDT So I was trying to buy nvme drive to upgrade my friends notebook and It seems Corsair silently introduce lower performing nvme drive and calling it MP510b rather than introducing as a completely different naming scheme. They will most likely phase out the original much superior MP510 and replace with this inferior model. Main difference between original MP510 and MP510b is, Poor write endurance (800TBW Vs 360TBW) Random read IOPS rating. (360K IOPS Vs 120K IOPS) I'm sure if asked, Corsair will say they changed the name but my main issue is most people will not notice this "B" at the end of MP510 and think it's the same well reviewed drive. I know lot of people who just read review or two and make their buying decisions and never bothered to do any actual testing themselves. Even I didn't initially noticed this naming difference and only reason I even bothered to look at it is curiosity to know why they list same item in 2 different prices.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:16 AM PDT All I want to do is tinker with it more than actually use it. I want to build another one with a different case. Different coolers rather than the stock one. Mess with RGB just for the fun of it. So all my searches just seem to be computer builds and scavenging for parts. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How easy is it really to build a PC? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:29 AM PDT I am really debating as an extreme beginner to building, whether or not to buy a custom built pc or to build it myself. Convince me please. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First time builder here asking if all of these parts work well together. Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:47 PM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/user/OmNeo/saved/yQk8Jx# My budget is roughly $900 for the parts not including the monitor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:38 PM PDT I am build my first pc and my friend helped me pick out the parts. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions/improvements to the parts list. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wkFYhg [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should I buy the Ryzen 7 3600X or the 3700X? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:22 PM PDT Not only for gaming but I will use unreal engine and I'm entering for a computer science degree and I want the PC to last for at least 5 to 6 years, so is it worth it to buy the 3700X.

| Unable to game during these difficult times... Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:44 PM PDT I bought a PC on Craigslist and it crashes... a lot. Whenever I try playing Rust on it, it almostly instantly shuts off/crashes as soon as the game loads and I start playing. By crash I mean the monitor goes black and a CPU light turns on on the motherboard. Any thoughts? Thank you! I've always tried doing a clean install of windows 10 and all drivers are up to date. No luck.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:36 PM PDT I already have storage, motherboard (ASRock b350 fatality), processor (ryzen 5 2600x). I really want to do a sff build. Was wondering if the price of the nzxt H1 it's worth it or not. I also have not decided on a GPU yet. I was actually starting to think that I used 1070 TI would be sufficient for now. I have a 27-in 1080p 144 hz display that I do not plan on upgrading anytime soon. So a GPU powerful enough for 1440P I just don't think is necessary. But any and all help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm still pretty new to all this. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How shall I test a used pc to see if everythings working? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:22 PM PDT Hi guys, I'm buying a used gaming pc, I'll be collecting it from his place and he said I can test it out for a bit and see if everythings working. Not sure how long he wouldn't mind me staying for, so how can I quickly check to see if the specs are as listed and if everything will run fine? I'm new to to pc gaming so I dont know how to check system specs in windows 10, however I do know exactly what specs I'm looking for. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Suggest me a gaming build between $500-$600 Posted: 16 Apr 2020 06:09 AM PDT I am not sure where to start exactly. I want a gaming pc that will be able to run Warzone, Csgo, pubg. I will also be using it for web development but nothing major as I am still in the learning stages. I would like it to have a WiFi option but it is not essential and plan on getting a wired connection once I move out of my apartment(currently using a hotspot,which can also be wired anyways). I found this on another post but would like suggestions and changes that would fit my needs better. Thanks ! EDIT I updated my list with your recommendations, unfortunately of part picker doesn't show a AF variant of the Ryzen 5 1600 so I manually added the price accordingly. I also changed the gpu to a GTX 1650 Super. And added a more reputable SSD. As well as a different motherboard. I think this is what I'm going to go with. It's ~20 over my budget but I can make it work. Let me know what you guys think!

| Computer shuts down when playing games, very inconsistently. How to narrow down the cause? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:59 PM PDT Recently I built my own PC. Now, I am running into a weird issue with it. Whenever I am playing a game (Borderlands 3 and Battlefield 5 to name a few) my PC will occasionally restart mid-game. This does not happen consistently. Sometimes I can play and have no issues, sometimes it will restart: shut down and then power back up. This issue does not occur anywhere else, only when playing games. Another thing of note is: once the PC restarts, it will not do it again before you restart it or turn it off. I can't figure out what is causing this issue. I have ran FurMark tests, Memtest and different system stress tests. None of them caused the issue to appear and none detect any system problem. I also see no errors in the system log. Any ideas what might be causing this issue? Specs are:

| PC Upgrade for max settings on Star Wars Battlefront 2 Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:28 PM PDT Hi Guys My goal is basically one: be able to play SW Battlefront 2 on max settings running smoothly. My PC currently has the following specs: intel Core i5-6500 3.20GHz 16GB RAM NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 With this PC I can play it on medium settings without frame drops. It is worth to for example upgrade the CPU, graphics card or both, to accomplish this? Or just build a new PC? Thank you very much :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:17 PM PDT This quarantine has proven to be very boring. Soo I figured I would finally build my own PC. I'm pretty new to computer hardware and am not 100% on this so any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated before I pull the trigger on this.
