| Posted: 10 May 2020 03:36 AM PDT Xbox series X will have 4K support and will probably cost 500$, maybe 600$ at most. If I want to play in 4K on PC, 600$ is not enough. Why would someone choose to spend 600$ on a PC +a mouse/keyboard instead of saving that 600$ for ps5/Xbox series X? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it worth it to sell my gaming laptop and use the money to build a gaming tower Posted: 10 May 2020 07:09 AM PDT Hi guys I own an msi gl62m with i5 7th Gen and a gtx 1050 is it worth it to sell it and build a gaming tower instead and if so which build should I aim for (I can sell it for around 800 dollars) and I will also need a monitor [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 02:46 AM PDT Hello! I'm looking to build my first PC this year. I've noticed that the price of most of the parts I've been looking at have jumped up significantly since the world has gone into lockdown. I'd like to build my PC within the next few weeks, but the prices are crazy. Does anyone know if the prices are likely to fall again this year? I'm not sure if I should wait for prices to fall, or just go ahead and build now. Any advice would be much appreciated! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Last check before I order everything. Good Build? Posted: 10 May 2020 06:17 AM PDT After over 5 Years of Gaming with a GTX960 I finally have ther courage and money to Upgrade my PC so I can finally not play all the unplayed Games in my Steam Libary with adequate Graphics and FPS. Budget was around 900€ and altough in the PCPartpicker list it's 1000€ I almost managed to stay under the 900€ because PPP does not always show you the cheapest offers especially in Europe. So I got good deals for some of my Parts (300€ for the 2060 for example) So anyway here is my list: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/9VP8wh
A big Thabnk you to everybody who took time to read this build and took time to write a comment. And of course a big Thank you to all the people who helped me to get to this point in the first place! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thank you /r/buildapc for being kind and open to answering any question as honestly as possible. Posted: 10 May 2020 12:34 PM PDT u/LonelyGuy9001 made this post on here this morning asking why anyone would purchase a PC when an Xbox has better performance. It was met with very kind and civil responses, and everyone had a genuinely great conversation about the topic. I posted the same topic to /r/xboxone where it was immediately downvoted and removed by the moderators without explanation. I messaged the moderators asking why my civil post was removed but got no response. Screenshot in case the link doesn't work. So thank you /r/buildapc for being open and friendly to anyone and everyone. Edit: Man.. all this has done is made me realize how corrupt/bias the world is lol [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Would you change anything in my first PC build? Posted: 10 May 2020 07:35 AM PDT Hi, I'm building my first PC - a mid-range gaming setup. I've spent quite a while reading up on every single part, and I'm just about ready to purchase. Before I do, though, I'd like some input from experienced PC builders. Note: I live in Denmark, and everything is a bit more expensive than in the US here. This is my build:
Total sum is 10,944 DKK // 1,590 USD What do you guys think? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Does RAM speed actually matter? Posted: 10 May 2020 10:34 AM PDT Is there any difference in the performance of 2133MHz DDR4 RAM and 4000MHz DDR4 RAM? I know there is some difference with integrated AMD graphics but if we disregard that, is it worth paying extra for faster RAM? The reason why I'm asking is partially that I will be upgrading from 8 GB to 32 GB some time this year. Thanks in advance for your replies! Cheers! EDIT: I am using an Intel i7 6700k [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Someone PLEASE help me lol. No info being sent to monitor whatsoever. Posted: 10 May 2020 10:35 AM PDT I made this post about a week ago, but it got lost in new/ignored. I'm going to keep trying. :'( Its my first build. Everything is put together. I try to boot it up for the first time. Fans start spinning, lights come on, keyboard lights come on, monitor comes on. Seems okay. But then, nothing comes up on the monitor. Absolutely nothing. No BIOS screen. Everything's is running, but there's no information being sent to the monitor at all. Double checked the cables, made sure everything was plugged in to the right stuff. Still nothing. Then I thought it was a RAM issue. Ordered some replacement RAM that's 100% compatible, but it didn't solve the problem. Then I tried using a DDI cable instead of a HDMI. Didn't solve anything either. Then I tried using a different monitor entirely. Still nothing. God help me. :( I know this is all incredibly vague. I'm completely in the dark too. But any advice would be appreciated. Trust me. I've been trying to fix this issue for over a week. I'm completely and utterly lost. Also, here's is my build. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/G4V323/modest-amd-gaming-build [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 11:54 AM PDT These requests are hitting my router from the LAN side even though I have never installed Geforce Experience on this computer. My auto-update is off (I don't even have one since Experience is not installed), so which process is making this request and what exactly gives? What's it for? What information does it collect, and is there a way to turn it off at the software level? I have it blocked now on my router with no noticeable difference, but it's still annoying and disconcerting to know that nvidia is phoning home like this, even when all "experience" options have been unchecked.

| PC Posts But Can't Install Windows Posted: 10 May 2020 01:18 PM PDT SPECS: Ryzen 2600x EVGA 2070 Super EVGA G5 850W ASRock x470 Master SLI/ac 2x8GB G.SKILL Flare X Series Samsung 860 EVO 1TB (2) Acer 24" XFA240 monitors ISSUE: I plug in USB Windows installer, Bios logo displays, Windows logo/spinning dots show, then monitor loses signal. Computer continues running. I DID: Tested with HP Pavilion 32 inch monitor and different display port cable/hdmi cable. Removed CMOS Battery. Reset Bios settings after changing boot options, etc. Secure erased SSD from Bios. Tried to run Linux Mint from another USB installer, got Hardware Error messages. Installed GPU & Ram in another system, it worked. Haven't swapped my PSU, CPU, or MOBO (was trying to avoid this, but am running out of options). Slowly losing my mind. Any help would be appreciated immensely. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Built my PC a while ago but finally got around to sharing! Posted: 09 May 2020 09:11 PM PDT Here is the finished parts list
https://imgur.com/gallery/l3DHnTe Lighting in my room isn't great. What you dont see is how I scraped the side of the motherboard while inserting and reinserting trying to fit it into the IO shield. Probably the hardest part of the build. Big thanks to everyone here who helped me with suggestions and advice. I'm really enjoying it so far and it runs everything great. I dont notice a difference at all between the Ryzen and the i5 in my MBP. It's great. Even the case which is "cheaper" is great, I got the acrylic window version which is fine because the only RGB comes from the mobo. I did end up buying a Noctua CPU cooler because the temps on the stock cooler were just too high for me. I dont think the Ryzen should hit near 80 while playing WoW, even if it was a spike. So far, I love the Noctua, but I would recommend upgrading out of the Wraith cooler sooner. Edit: Didnt notice that PcPartpicker says the Noctua is incompatible with the Cougar case... but it fit fine for me [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 02:08 PM PDT Hello everyone, In October, 2017 I built a gaming PC using advice from this subreddit. I never posed the pics from that build because I was a little insecure about it and didn't want anyone judging it. Yesterday though, I finished a huge upgrade to my PC, getting a new case, motherboard, CPU, and GPU, again thanks to all the support from this subreddit. After seeing how helpful you all have been again, I'm now confident enough to share the build! I wanted to say thank you to this community, as you guys are really supportive and helpful, albeit sometimes snobs. But hey, I guess that's a byproduct of being part of the "PC master race".

| Are there any PSUs in stock ANYWHERE? Posted: 10 May 2020 12:28 PM PDT I need a 600W or higher PSU, fully modular, 80+ gold and I swear every one of them around $100-$150 is sold out/back ordered. What the hell is going on.. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hello. Are these below a good choice for my monitor? Posted: 10 May 2020 11:54 AM PDT Is Ryzen 5 3600 and Sapphire Pulse RX 5700 XT good choices for 1080p, 144Hz monitor? For games like No Man's Sky and Universe Sandbox 2. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How necessary are the driver updates for motherboards? Posted: 10 May 2020 01:20 PM PDT I'm watching Paul's Hardware build tutorial, and he seems to think that most if not all of them are unnecessary. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Could you validate my medium-low wannabe budget build? [Only Gaming, No Streaming] Posted: 10 May 2020 10:04 AM PDT Budget: € 800-900 Hi everyone, I've always wanted to build my own PC so here I am, asking for your tips. I came up with with my first build which is intended mainly for gaming, overclocking and occasionally programming. I'm not planning start streaming anytime in the future, but you never know. Also I don't care about fancy RGB cool looking stuff. I deliberately customized the pcpartpicker list because I could not found some parts (SSD, Case and PSU) and in order to show you the prices I could find right now in Italy.
I initially chose the XFX Radeon RX 590 8 GB as Video Card, but it didn't convince me, so I changed it. Are there any compatibility or powering issues? Do the overall prices seem ok to you (despite the world lockdown)? I'd like the build to cost something less, so I was thinking about not buying the HDD storage and the CPU cooler (obviously I would not overclocking in that case) for now, since they are not mandatory, or could I somewhat save something changing any part? Thank you all! [Edit: I put the wrong Video Card, updated from 1600 to 1600 Super] [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 May 2020 08:30 AM PDT I'm a Neanderthal who bought a cyberpower PC, & is now looking to upgrade. Problem is, cyberpower sucks at listing their parts, & I need to find out what motherboard, & RAM ports are in this to know what's compatible. This PC is a "Gamer xtreme" with intel i5-9400f, 1x8gb RAM, & a geforce GTX 1650 4gb graphics card. I hope you have more luck than I did [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is there anything I should change for my first build for gaming and VR? Posted: 10 May 2020 02:17 PM PDT I appreciate any help or advice, particularly if there is a way to lower the overall price for similar performance.
Total price: $1,576 USD I plan on using this build for Oculus Rift S and other gaming [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just installed Phenom ii x6, will post but won't boot? Posted: 10 May 2020 02:11 PM PDT Maybe someone can help me here... I upgraded from a phenom ii x4 965 BE to a phenom ii x6 1100t. I hear a single beep, which should mean everything is fine but it won't boot into windows. I'm stuck with a blinking underscore. I can get into bios. It says "Unknown AMD processor" or something along those lines. And just like the 965, it only registers 800Mhz. It's an acer motherboard, specially a DA061L-3D, or known by acer as a Aspire X1420G. I have the latest bios drivers from acer. It has American Megatrends Inc. BIOS. I don't know what could be the problem? Thanks in advance. Edit: Thats too bad, I think Acer didn't release any bios updates to support the cpu. Its risky, but would it be conceivable to flash a different bios??

| Posted: 10 May 2020 02:09 PM PDT Hi! I've just built a brand new PC meant for high FPS 1080p gaming however now i need a new monitor for it, since my 13 year old 1440x900 LG one is obviously not cutting it. For about the same price I could get the 23.8" 144Hz panel or the 27" 75Hz panel, so witch one should i get? I've heard that 144Hz is buttery smooth however i do like big screens, and I'm not really sure what to prefer in this case, so i thought you guys might help. Thanks!

| Good monitor(s) or not worth it? Posted: 10 May 2020 02:08 PM PDT I was looking at some 1440p 144hz monitors to get one for when I build my new PC, I was wondering if either of these two are worth it? They're on sale for quite a bit and I know "Amazon's Choice" shit can be really bad sometimes so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with these? Or any recommendations? Also, as you can see, one of them is 31.5 inches and curved, compared to 27 flat, for only 20 dollars more. This seems like too good to be true to me? Is it worth it? Do you prefer curved or straight? I've never used curved before but I think I would like it, it's just that 280 bucks is a lot to dive on something that I'm not 100% sure about you know? Thank you in advance guys, I hope this post isn't breaking any rules or anything, I just want to make sure I'm making a good decision before dropping a bunch of money.

| Help - First PC Build Components and Questions Posted: 10 May 2020 02:01 PM PDT I am a researcher who will be using this PC for Microsoft office, statistics software, some video and photo editing (Adobe), and potentially light gaming. My budget is ~$1500 CAD, but I am flexible if there is good reason. I am looking to build a PC in a Fractal Meshify C case (https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_1937&item_id=119755) since I have heard Fractal's airflow is unrivaled. But, I am also open to other case suggestions that are of a similar size and quality. My boyfriend is willing to give me old his SSD (120 Gb) and GPU (GTX 1060). My first question is whether it is wise to take old parts from his previous build or if I should start completely from scratch (due to obsolescence or other factors)? What CPU do you recommend? I have been looking at the Intel i7 9700k, but again, I would love to hear opinions. From my calculations, I think I will need a ~400W PSU. Is there any benefit to getting 500 or 600W+? Which brand/product is the most reliable? How much RAM do you recommend? What motherboard do you recommend? I am ideally looking for something with a built in wifi card and bluetooth. TLDR: I am a noob, show me your build recommendations! [link] [comments] |
