| Just finished my first PC build. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:43 AM PDT Just finished my first build. It took me like 3 hours and then a couple for trouble shooting. Thanks for the help lads. Can't wait to get roof camped in rust for the next 6 hours. [link] [comments] |
| It ain't much. But it's mine. And I love it Posted: 03 Jun 2020 09:42 PM PDT I've had the PC for a little bit. First time building this was in a Phanteks P350x. After finishing my build, the side panel shattered as I was putting the glass back on. If you haven't had that happen before, it is heartbreaking. Thankfully Phanteks was really cool and sent me a replacement side panel, but I think I only put it back on once or twice. Was too scared to leave it on. After some time, I decided I wanted something a little bit bigger. I looked at hundreds of cases. Was stuck between a few, and this one caught my eye, but I hadn't thought too hard on it, as my first build was in a cheap corsair carbide with no power supply basement/attic and almost no cable management. After reading reviews and watching a few videos, I decided to purchase this one. Building in it was fun, somewhat challenging, but definitely felt great. Two panels of tempered glass is definitely daunting, but man is it pretty when all them lights go off. Build: ASUS Tuf Gaming X570 Wi-Fi Ryzen 5 3600 with Wraith Prism cooler XFX Radeon RX 5700 Triple Dissipation Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 Mhz RAM @ 16GB 3x Thermaltake RGB fans 3x Corsair LL120 fans (to be honest will probably sell these once I can find a decent price for more thermaltakes) Corsair 465x iCue RGB Mid-Tower ATX case Again, it's not a powerhouse, but it fits my needs well. Edit: I didn't expect this much hate for the post. I am not trying to humble brag or downplay the PC. As I stated in a comment, I figured going with a sub $400 GPU and the Ryzen 5 3600 would not be considered high end or even that great compared to all of the builds I've seen on here. I apologize for anyone that I offended with this post and just wanted to contribute something to the community. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 03 Jun 2020 11:33 PM PDT Hey guys! I am looking to uprade my computer with a 1.1k budget. My current specs are as follows- GPU: GTX 1070ti CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 Ram: 16gb 2800 HDD: 2tb SSD: 1tb PSU: 750w Gold+ I am basically looking just for preformance improvment. I want to play games at 4K soon, so that is kind of where my goal is. Anything that gives me higher frames is most welcomed. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Major success on my First $2K Build Posted: 03 Jun 2020 11:09 PM PDT Throughout my life, I always get pre-built PCs and now, I wanted something more. When I upgrade, I always go for the big guns. I got my parts separately since last year and built up from there. I buy and resell items on my ebay store where I practically got a $2K PC for $200. Here's the photo of my parts: https://i.imgur.com/sxDyPYz.jpg My Built is focused entirely on Silence, Power, and Performance with RGB given no attention. I can barely hear this beast at all. Be Quiet!'s name certainly matches their description. Final Parts List:
I wanted to thank you guys for motivating me in getting descent parts and teaching myself a skill that'll help me later on. So long pre-built PC'S! : ) [link] [comments] |
| Built my first pc for gaming and light animation/rendering work Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:24 AM PDT https://imgur.com/gallery/KywESh5 I built it about a couple weeks ago and it was tiring but the reward is amazing.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:40 AM PDT Hi. I'm looking to build a PC for gaming and home office. A lovely redditor, UnknkownSoldier at buildapcforme, gave me a great suggestion but I've modified it a bit due to restrictions of certain parts in Australia and wanted to make sure it still works or in case i've chosen things that aren't very cost effective. Planning to use it for games such as Doom eternal, Monster hunter world and probably Lol (although I'll try to stay away from it). Besides that just regular office stuff and might grab a second monitor for work, (I already have one). Aiming to keep around 2K (Australian) but have no set hard limit Please let me know the myriad of ways I have done this wrong. Thanks so much [link] [comments] |
| B450 Tomahawk max without m.2 screw? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:19 PM PDT I have bought this piece and now I can't lock m.2 disk because there no screw attached, I have seen on some videos online that it should come with 1 small bag with m.2 screw but there is none. Any idea on where to get this? [link] [comments] |
| Can I reinstall windows on a new SSD if I only have my product key? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:58 PM PDT when I first built my PC, I bought a windows USB for around $100 and just plugged it in for installation. This was 5 years ago and I have no idea where that drive could be now, but I do have my product key still. Is installation possible, or am I just screwed? [link] [comments] |
| 15 years Mac user excitedly making the leap. First ever build advice! (£1.5k) Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:31 PM PDT Hello! Product photographer/Designer here. Seasoned Mac user, about to take the plunge and put a PC together for the first time. Made the decision primarily on the basis that I'm thoroughly enjoying cinema4d and want to render much faster than my MBP will allow & want super slick Creative Cloud apps. That's all! No gaming. Just a powerful workhorse. Fast & reliable. A Mac Pro feels like a foolish purchase when this tech is available. Anyone been in the same boat? This is where I'm at so far: Motherboard: MSI MPG X570 PRO CARBON WIFI MOTHERBOARD Processor AMD RYZEN 7 3700X AM4 CPU Ram CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 32GB (2x16) DDR4 DRAM 3200mhz C16 Memory Kit Graphics Card ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 2060 SUPER EVO 8GB OC GRAPHICS CARD Power Supply CORSAIR CP-9020188-UK 750 W RM850x FULLY MODULAR ATX I'm hoping that this will be pokey enough to last a few years before having to upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can give me. [link] [comments] |
| My Computer is randomly shutting down when playing games. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:56 PM PDT So, I built my computer in October last year. It was working fine up until around March this year. I've had issues with my GPU breaking down, and stopping output to my monitors. But the main issue now is my computer shutting down when playing games. I suspect its a Power supply issue but I'm not entirely sure. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated. [link] [comments] |
| Advice on $800 first gaming build, how does it look? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:05 PM PDT I am looking to build my first computer, and after some research I think I want to go with an AMD build. Here are the parts I am thinking about. I am mostly set on the CPU and graphics card after a lot of research, but everything else I am comfortable changing if it makes sense to do so. Anything jump out that I should improve on here, or anything I can trim down to save money? I want a pc build to play modern titles at 1080 and last me 3-4 years playing games on medium. In my research I kept seeing a lot of the same parts mentioned as favorites and reliable, so I mostly went with those. CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor | $167.00 @ Newegg CPU Cooler | Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler | $29.99 @ Newegg Motherboard | MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard | $114.99 @ Best Buy Memory | G.Skill Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory | $32.99 @ Newegg Storage | SanDisk SSD PLUS 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive | $44.99 @ Amazon Storage | Seagate Barracuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive | $54.95 @ Amazon Video Card | EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card | $264.99 @ Amazon Case | Phanteks Eclipse P300A Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case | $59.99 @ Amazon Power Supply | SeaSonic S12III 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply | $71.85 | Total | $841.74 [link] [comments] |
| Here's my 'GameCube' - Thx to r/buildapc! Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:08 PM PDT It's finally done! With some last minute drama (getting no internet connection, ugh) resolved, my new pc is ready to game ❤ https://i.ibb.co/hsYMH7b/IMG-20200604-204754.jpg A big thank you to this community and a special thx to member CyberIntel, couldn't have done it with him/her (🤔)! Already did the thing I always do when getting a new pc: Playing Half Life 2 🤷♀️🐧 just did some cable management and it's good to go now. WARNING TO EVERYONE THINKING OF PICKING THE SAME COMPONENTS: The Thermaltake Core V1 and the Gigabyte Aorus I X570 Pro Wifi are NOT compatible! There are stand offs that prevent fastening the screws. I managed to 'shave' off some material so the mainboard's backplate could fit in. But unless you're prepared for some physical modding, choose different components. Unfortunately, pcpartpicker will tell you they fit - I already sent them a message, hope they fix their list. The components are as follows: [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:36 PM PDT Im looking forward to build a pc soon in the summer, im using a amd ryzen 5 3600 and a xfx rx 570 gpu and cannot find a motherboard (noob to pcs) my budget is 500 and most of the ones i find are pretty over my budget help! [link] [comments] |
| Having trouble putting graphics card to my motherboard Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:30 PM PDT Hi! First time builder here, I've been having trouble attaching my graphics card onto my motherboard, am I not doing something right? Or am I out of luck? Sorry if the answer is dumb this is my first time I've had the means to try to build a computer. https://imgur.com/a/n5R9ODh?desktop=1 Graphics card: asus dual mini geoforce gtx 1660 super Motherboard: gigabyte b450m ds3h [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:29 AM PDT Hi Everyone, Took me about two months to research the build that suits me. So, thank you everyone for all of the awesome advice. Build took me about 2.5 hours, pretty straightforward. Posted first try and so far been running stable. ASUS X570 Tuf Gaming Plus R5 3600 XFX 5600 XT RAW II (14gbps variant) Intel 660p 1TB NVME CM Hyper 212 Black RGB Corsair CM750 Gold 16gb Ripjaws DDR4-3600 Meshify C TG [link] [comments] |
| Having trouble finding a nice case that wont get me broke Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:57 PM PDT I love the Corsair ICue cases but they're listed for cheap on the corsair website but are about 40-60 bucks more expensive at retailer sites. I also see reviews for these cases and I don't feel like they're worth it. Any suggestions for cases? I'm looking for a mid sized tower that is white and has nice rgb fans in the front. Edit: don't want to go over 200 dollars unless you think its worth it [link] [comments] |
| Is 40% ram usage at idle normal? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:40 PM PDT |
| Looking for ~ 24" 1920x1080p 144hz IPS Display Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:47 PM PDT Basically looking to upgrade my monitor and ended up wanting the specs shown above on the title. Just want the monitor to have a decent response time as it will be used for competitive gaming and budget-wise I wouldn't mind going to about 270EUR (~300USD). I can't seem to find many great monitors that are in stock, since the current situation with Covid is pretty fucked. [link] [comments] |
| Looking to get back into PC gaming Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:44 PM PDT So for the past decade or so I've mostly be using console gaming as my outlet but with Cyberpunk and Bloodlines 2 on the horizon I'm looking to go with a Desktop PC for my gaming needs. My issue has become that I know nothing about the components anymore, there seem to be six versions of the same part with differing letters being the only difference (which mean nothing to me). People keep asking me what FPS, and overclocking, etc etc an I just have no idea what the answer is (or even what the question means tbh). Sorry for the newb question, and thanks in advance for any help you can give me. [link] [comments] |
| I have an optiplex 9010 MT with a rx 580 and upgraded psu(soon)and 2 4gb sticks of ddr3 Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:28 PM PDT I'm looking to buy some more and I'm not sure on what exactly my aim is 12gb or 16 preferably. Also is it worth buying used as I'm on a budget. Thanks [link] [comments] |
| Bad cinebench 20 performance with Ryzen 5 3600 Posted: 04 Jun 2020 10:37 AM PDT I saw on the internet that the Ryzen 5 3600 gets around 3700 points in CB 20, but when I run it with everything at stock settings, I get at most like 3200. Why does this happen? Turning on or off PBO doesn't make any noticeable difference. Another weird thing is that I'm idling at 50-55C with a peak core voltage of 1.25V. My cooler is the Cooler Master 212 EVO from my FX 8320. When the system is at full load at stock settings, it gets 75C and clocks to 3950 MHz at 1.27V, instead of the 4.2 GHz promised boost. When only one core is at full load, it also doesn't reach 4.2 GHz, but peaks at 4050-4100 MHz at 1.42V. Only way for me to reach 3600 points in CB 20, is by settings the max clock speed to 4.2 GHz at 1.175V peak core voltage in Ryzen Master. Why do I get such bad performance at the default settings, but better performance with quite a low core voltage? I have PBO turned off and everything in the BIOS on auto. Drivers are all up to date, except for the motherboard because with the latest BIOS, the fan control page becomes unresponsive, so it is running the second most recent version. Power options is using the Ryzen Balanced profile. This is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bx4YYH What do I need to do to hit 4.2 GHz on all cores and reach 3700 points in CB 20?

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:23 PM PDT So i have an old optiplex laying around that I'm thinking about upgrading for my little brother. Does anyone have any reccomendations on a cheap psu and ssd, i already got a 70 buck rx 570 to put in. [link] [comments] |
