| Posted: 16 Jun 2020 10:00 PM PDT I have been wanting a PC to play casual games on for about 9 years but was never able to convince my parents to buy me even an extremely budget one. but now im 16 and I've finally saved up enough to build a gaming PC. I have ordered all the parts and almost everything is here except power supply, the CPU i got came with a broken pin out of the box so i have to replace that and thats going to delay the build even further which is a shame. but regardless of all these inconveniences dont think I've ever been happier. its pretty much been my dream to have a PC, I never cared how cheap it was, I was wiling to spend even as low as $100 just to have something to play on. its something I've only ever dreamt of and now its finally slowly becoming a reality. :D The PC i am building is around $350 give or take Here are the specs (pls don't judge ya bois broke) CPU - Ryzen 5 1600 🟩GPU - GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Someone from this subreddit with a heart of gold gifted me a brand new GTX 1050 Ti 🟩 Motherboard - Gigabyte B450M DS3H RAM - Crucial Ballistix DDR4 2x4gb 2400mhz SSD - Silicon Power 258gb PSU - EVGA 550 N1 Power Supply Case - DarkFlash DLM 21 White mATX Case If you have any suggestions, tips, or anything please feel free to tell me. If you have any future upgrade suggestions or things I could change now while still staying within my budget please let me know. all feedback and help is greatly appreciated. EDIT: one of the most kindhearted people I've ever met on here was kind and selfless enough to gift me a GeForce GTX 1050 ti. i dont think they want their username shown but I truly am extremely greatful for this gift ❤ P.S you guys are extremely helpful and I never expected so much love and help, you guys are doing gods work❤ EDIT #2 You guys have made me the happiest that I've been in a while and I'm truly grateful for each and every one of you❤ [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Jun 2020 06:11 AM PDT I watched some reviews yesterday on a couple Asus boards and the new MSI Tomahawk. These are around $170 boards. Meanwhile, the Tuf X570 is $190, the Aorus Elite X570 is $200, etc. If the difference is only going to be $30, does it make sense to just go for the X570? Especially since the X570 is a more powerful chipset? What is the cutoff where it doesn't make sense to keep spending money on a B550 if there are X570s available with the same features? Using GPUs as an example, it seems generally advisable that if you're gonna spend $400, maybe $430, a high end 5700xt is where it's at. But if you are willing to spend $450, just go $50 more for a lower end 2070 super instead. I'm wondering if anyone has a similar idea for these motherboards, yet.

| Where's the line between upgrading an old PC and replacing an old one with a new? Posted: 17 Jun 2020 01:14 PM PDT I was browsing through this subreddit and someone asked whether they should upgrade or build a PC from scratch. They needed to replace a lot of parts. It got me thinking: "What counts as replacing a PC and what counts as upgrading it?" Seems obvious, but there has to be some sort of line. For example, if someone gradually upgraded every part of their PC over time, would it still count as the same PC? And if not, when does it become a new PC? Would the same thing still apply if you upgraded a bunch of parts all at once? I assume that the definition varies from person to person and it really doesn't effect the end product of the PC, but it's interesting to think about. Also, is it possible to have an identity crisis about your PC? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| $800 first build, went a little over the budget. anything i could change? Posted: 17 Jun 2020 12:05 PM PDT this is my first build around the Ryzen 3 3300X platform, and in fact my very first pc build, with a budget of $800 i set for myself. a small amount of part picking later, the grand total comes to $834 excluding the cooling fans. is there anything i could change without risking the whole thing setting on fire when it starts up, without relying on some super sketchy chinese brand, or making the pc like waaaaay worse? thank you for any advice or criticism! $143 AMD Ryzen 3 3300X [processor] $172 Asus TUF Gaming B550-PLUS Wi-Fi [motherboard] $64 Corsair Carbide Series 88R [case] $215 ASUS Dual GeForce GTX 1650 [graphics card] $86 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 8GB (1x 8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 CL16 [RAM] $67 EVGA GD 450W (80+ Gold) [power supply] $43 Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD [HDD] edit: i went on pcpartpicker and somehow put a list together, with the PSU and CPU marked as "prices unavailable", the 8gb ram stick apparently "incompatible" and the case being "incompatible" too, even though it's mATX and the motherboard is mATX as well (what) edit 2: updated the list with russian prices [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| No DisplayPort signal, tried HDMI, feels hopeless Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:08 PM PDT So on my initial boot up, my system displayed the bios screen on my monitor via display port, all good. I noticed that one of my ram sticks wasn't being recognized, so I powered down, switched slots and tried again. Still nothing. After multiple swaps, my monitor is suddenly getting no display signal. I tried unplugging the computer, the monitor, I tried the computer on a different monitor and I was still getting no display. I tried booting up from the HDMI port on the MB both with and without the GPU installed and also nothing. This is the build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BvVDHB [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Just writing a Thank-you to this community! Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:40 PM PDT Hi everyone, Just writing to say thank-you now that my computer is up and running! Everyone was fantastic and helped me put together a great computer for the price! The only limiting factor now is my monitor 1080p @ 60 Hz which is the first thing on my list for a future upgrade. Everything runs more smoothly than I could have hoped and I have been recommending this community to anyone who asks how to build a computer (and a few people who didn't ask). Thanks again! P.S. Couple comments on the below list, I didnt use the graphics card listed . I used the triple dissipation RX5700 that is not yet listed on PCPartpicker. And I didn't pay that price on the A-Pro, I got it for $100 so it was all within my budget. https://www.newegg.com/xfx-radeon-rx-5700-rx-57xl83ld8/p/N82E16814150841 [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vwgd7T) Type|Item|Price :----|:----|:---- **CPU** | [AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9nm323/amd-ryzen-5-3600-36-thz-6-core-processor-100-100000031box) | $166.99 @ Amazon **Motherboard** | [MSI B450-A PRO MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/XJbCmG/msi-b450-a-pro-max-atx-am4-motherboard-b450-a-pro-max) | $251.99 @ Amazon **Memory** | [G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jBZzK8/gskill-ripjaws-v-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-16gvkc) | $79.99 @ Newegg **Storage** | [Silicon Power A55 512 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LdgzK8/silicon-power-a55-512gb-25-solid-state-drive-sp512gbss3a55s25) | $52.99 @ Amazon **Video Card** | [XFX Radeon RX 5700 8 GB DD Ultra Video Card](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/tt7p99/xfx-radeon-rx-5700-8-gb-dd-ultra-video-card-rx-57xl8lbd6) | $549.99 @ Amazon **Case** | [NZXT H510 ATX Mid Tower Case](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6Cyqqs/nzxt-h510-atx-mid-tower-case-ca-h510b-w1) | $69.99 @ Best Buy **Power Supply** | [Thermaltake Smart 600 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply](https://pcpartpicker.com/product/6RTrxr/thermaltake-smart-600w-80-certified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-ps-spd-0600npcwus-w) | $125.94 @ Amazon | *Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts* | | **Total** | **$1297.88** | Generated by [PCPartPicker](https://pcpartpicker.com) 2020-06-17 18:23 EDT-0400 | [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I built my first ever PC over the weekend, & couldn’t be more thankful & happy for this community. Posted: 17 Jun 2020 01:48 AM PDT Without r/buildapc, it would've taken me a lot of more digging around on the Internet on how to get the answers to my question. I'd post a question, and every time someone answered me within minutes and my headache was solved. I'm super happy & grateful to everyone on the subreddit, you guys are very helpful and couldn't be nicer. It's super intimidating building a first PC, but every time I said I was asking a dumb question, I was always reassured that there is no such thing when building a pc. I started buying parts around the end of March and finally put it together this weekend. The hardest part for me wasn't cable management, but installing the cpu cooler was difficult because lining up the screws while putting even pressure was very difficult. Anyways, here's the PcPartPicker list and some pictures from start to end. Thanks again guys I couldn't have done it without your help & advice ❤️ [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| first time build - sffpc/ITX ryzen build for productivity and lil gaming Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:31 PM PDT Hi all - first time builder here need some help. I appreciate anyone's $0.02. I'm hoping to build in my newly purchased NCASE M1 an ITX Ryzen build. I'm a civil engineer currently changing careers and in school for CS - so I do a lot of multitasking and programming. No video editing or crazy rendering. Only since the shelter in place have I been using AutoCAD through remote set up and I typically have maybe 50-100 chrome tabs open. I also intend to use the setup for light gaming (LoL, Overwatch, Don't Starve Together heh). I hope this gaming setup will also allow me to pick up more games in the future as I haven't been able to game really on my old Macbook. I've done a lot of reading, but wanted some specific advice regarding my build since it's my first time and I didn't want to mess it up. I've watched almost all of OptimumTech's videos on sffpc/ITX builds so I decided to go the ROG Strix B450-I route (and was able to snag one), but since the new B550s came out, I'm not sure which mobo to lean towards. I also read that B550s probably wouldn't be compatible with the future gen sockets so I didn't see the need for upgrading to a B550 (any input on that is appreciated). I chose the 3700x route due to the multiple cores for lots of multitasking/programming, and I'm thinking several years down the line, the CPU will still do me good compared to the 3600. I don't believe I'll update anytime soon so the set up would hopefully last me at least 5 years. I also intend to eventually dual boot windows/linux in the future. I have an AW3418DW already, but am hoping eventually to get a CRG9 - so I put that in my list for FYI. There's so many GPUs out there and freesync vs gsync so I was really unsure what would be necessary vs overkill. Any input on GPU would be very appreciated! Please note that any of the drives I left as a placeholder in my list as well. I've noted purchased items but I don't mind changing anything in the list. Any advice would help! I'm not too concerned about cost and I've allotted moneys for the build as I hope this will last me a long time. But I also don't want to overspend and get anything too overkill.

| Help finding a reliable long term PSU for this build Posted: 17 Jun 2020 01:14 PM PDT I am putting together the best $700 - $750 pc I can think of to replace my laptop. Here is the build that I put together. This is my first build so I am still learning stuff. With this build, what amount of Watts do I need to run this system with wiggle room? 400 - 500? I was looking at the Corsair CX550M but it's out of stock. Although the CX450M is on their site. Maybe a different PSU all together? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it possible to have a 5700XT and an old GTX-770 in the same pc? Posted: 17 Jun 2020 07:54 AM PDT Before you downvote me for sheer stupidity (I acknowledge my lack of knowledge!) please hear me out. Since this whole pandemic started both my wife and I have been working at home remotely with our 4 kids. We then ended up fighting over my pc which has a RTX 2060 Super on it. We've found RTX voice to be a godsend with our 4 kids making noise. In the interim, tired of fighting for the computer and working weird shifts into the night, I took the opportunity to get a new pc. This one is all amd though with a R9 3900x and Power Color Red Dragon 5700xt. Downside is my workstation is out in the open and no RTX Voice. I've read that RTX voice could be used on non-RTX cards and thought about using an old GTX-770 (MSI Twin Frozr) in a second slot just for RTX voice. Is this possible? Is it even worth it or should I just eat the cost for another RTX card? Thanks for any input! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| First PC build parts questions and advice Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:12 PM PDT Hi all! I'm planning on building my first PC which will be used for gaming, school, and work. I was wondering if I can get your suggestions for the parts I picked. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nxhjx6 My main question is the compatibility notes. What does it mean? when picking the parts, the compatible motherboards are suggested but the comments give you a warning. Do you have any other motherboards that might resolve the compatibility issue or should I ignore? Lastly, I was wondering if there may be any other issues I might not be aware of? Other compatibility issues with different software etc. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| question about comet lake and ram Posted: 17 Jun 2020 03:10 PM PDT on this product page for the i9 10900k it says "Memory types: DDR4-2933". Does this have anything to do with what ram speeds the cpu is compatible with? If not, do you only need to look at the motherboard's memory capability? if the 2933 number means 2933 mhz that seems kinda low, is it the minimum or whats it mean ty [link] [comments] |
