| My first PC build alone and the first one in 11 years Posted: 20 Jun 2020 06:09 AM PDT I finally finished my very first and very own PC build today. After waiting almost a month for everything to deliver I couldn't be happier. My Boot Camp on a MacBook gaming days are over. The last build I made with my dad when I was 10/11 and it's been over a decade. I was really excited, watched lots of guides and asked for advice on Reddit a few times. Here are a picture and the list of all the components I used. I got a few good deals and managed to stay under my 1000€ budget even with 2 SSDs and the MSI Gaming version of the 1660 SUPER. The motherboard was a gift and is mostly there to be future proof. I'm planning to upgrade again in about a year. I know its plenty overkill. My other option was the B450 Carbon Max WiFi, which was sadly out of stock everywhere and would not have been free. The build went pretty smoothly apart from forgetting to pre-plug the CPU power and spending about 15 minutes fiddling them down to the connectors in the board. I also wish the power supply would include a single connector 8-pin PCI-e connector, but I tucked the second one away for the graphics card. It runs pretty well. Sadly it's a tiny bit louder than I had hoped, but I guess that is also due to the case not being sound dampening at all. I know nothing about fan curves so I'm not fiddling with them just yet. All in all I'm super stoked to finally become a PC gamer! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 12:50 PM PDT Pretty much as the title says. Sorry for formatting btw, am on mobile and also nervous! I made a lot of plans for my SOs 30th birthday but covid happened so I went back to the drawing board. For backstory, he's always wanted to build his own PC and has experience/enjoyed tinkering with his old laptop to update it and it worked like a charm. I want to buy him all the parts he'll need to build a neat PC which he can use for gaming. Knowing him, he won't want or need the most powerful graphics card on the market or anything. But something modest and easy he can enjoy putting together. But here's my problem. Although I have basic technological knowledge (my colleagues often come to me if they have IT issues) I will freely admit that I'm a console girl (sorry please don't downvote!) As a result I have no clue where to even start when it comes to buying everything he'll need. I don't even know if my budget will be enough to cover it, but I want to at least try because he's a great guy and he deserves a good birthday covid aside (and I have a few more months to save up too, this isn't a last minute change). My budget is around £1000 and I'm UK based if that helps. Please help! Any advice will be appreciated, even if to tell me £1000 won't be enough and I should take more time to save/go back to the drawing board. Thank you!

| Do you guys shut down your PC every night? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 08:59 AM PDT I shut down my PC every night when I've finished using it. I often see people saying they leave their PCs on for days or even weeks. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to shutting down every day?

| Does the refresh rate in a monitor affect frames? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 03:17 AM PDT So this might be a really stupid question, please bare with me. If I get a 144 Hz panel does that mean that the fps in the games can't go further than 144 fps, even if the GPU is capable of it? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Does anyone know when i9-10900k will exist in the wild again? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 02:51 PM PDT I've been looking almost daily and it's out of stock everywhere or nearly triple the retail price. Was there a recall I'm unaware of? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| PC Build for gaming and photo/video editing Posted: 20 Jun 2020 01:54 PM PDT Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. This build if for work (photo and video editing) and gaming If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1080p/1440p, 60/144 fps (it really depends on the game). I'm sure a 2060 is enough to play most games at 1080p with enough fps. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? 1.8k max (euros) In what country are you purchasing your parts? He will be buying everything from amazon spain Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
Provide any additional details you wish below. This PC is for a friend, and the big doubt here is if it's better to opt for a Intel 10 gen build or AMD... He really wants RGB, that's the reason he wants this fans. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 12:55 PM PDT Hi, I'm in a situation with my build where older games run fine but in more modern titles such as Destiny 2 i start suffering from fluctuating fps at 80%< cpu usage (gpu stays below cpu unless i max out the graphics). My CPU is an i5-4670K OC'd at 4.2ghz at the moment. As for other main components i have an R9 390 and 8gb of 1333mhz ddr3. Question is would upgrading to a Ryzen 5 2600 alongside with 16gb of ddr4 be a smart upgrade? I'm slightly confused about how high rated the i5-4670K is on userbenchmark [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 03:07 PM PDT I just built my first computer and I want to monitor the cpu temp. What is the best way to do this? Software? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1660 Super won't display video on new build, will in other pc Posted: 20 Jun 2020 12:52 PM PDT So, I'm making this post on behalf of a friend right now as his pc is currently in pieces as we're swapping components in and out of the new pc in order to determine what works and what does not. Short backstory - My friend has a friend of his own who was looking for a new pc to finally move on from his old all-in-one, so I threw together a decent little part list for him with a budget of ~650.
All the parts arrived and were confirmed to work, but come build time we've run into a little bit of a snag with the graphics card. When the 1660 super is plugged into the new build, it won't display any video output and the mobo will refuse to post. Mobo's speaker throws the expected beep code, 1 long 3 short. I asked my friend to test it in his own pc, and when in his computer it does indeed work. To confirm it isn't a problem with the topmost pcie slot on the new Gigabyte motherboard, I had my friend swap in both his own GTX 1060 and a spare RX 460. Both were able to display video and the mobo POSTed successfully with each card. We've been brainstorming for the last few hours about what the issue might potentially be, but both of us are incredibly stressed out and I feel like we've exhausted our options. Things we've tried so far:
These are all the things either of us could think of while we're stressed out, so it's possible the issue is something we just haven't had the presence of mind to think about. I'm posting this in the hopes that someone out there has a different perspective on the issue, which could be exactly what we need. Any and all help and advice would be greatly appreciated!

| 13 years old but building a pc Posted: 20 Jun 2020 03:03 PM PDT So I decided to switch from a low end laptop to a pc and it went horrible. I used the 300$ budget build from ScatterVolt but with different parts. I switched the case/power supply combo with a Thermaltake Smart 430W and the Aerocool Cylon also the WD 1.0 Harddrive , same motherboard, CPU and Ram. Once I turned it on it didn't work, I got my dads friend to help me and also didn't work as well. I plugged everything correctly but don't know what to do.

| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 02:57 PM PDT So I'm going to upgrade my pc so I can play better VR games but I don't know which graphics card to buy. My budget is £500, I was planning to buy a 2070 super but if i get a 2070 I can buy the official oculus link cable. BTW this £500 is my Bday + Xmas money so it would take a while for me to make £80.

| XFX RX 480 8gb vs Asus GTX 1070 Dual 8gb Posted: 20 Jun 2020 10:56 AM PDT I can't decide whether to buy: A XFX RX 480 8gb for 80€ A Asus GTX 1070 Dual 8gb for 130€ I have a Ryzen 7 1800x [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 20 Jun 2020 06:30 AM PDT Hey, does anyone has any reomendations for a 1440p 27inch that doesn't break the bank? At max I could spend 350-400 euros on a monitor liek this, but preferably more at the 350 side. Also, if possible I'd like gsync (and obviously an IPS pannel). (for gaming) Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How can this list be made better? Posted: 20 Jun 2020 02:39 PM PDT I'd prefer an RGB look with a nice case, powerful CPU + GPU and enough RAM. I'll be doing some heavy gaming on it as well as other everyday tasks but what about this list do you think can be improved? Budget is up to £1200 but I don't mind spending a little extra if it makes a big difference. Honestly, I also don't mind completely dropping the RGB look to get a more powerful system, but then again, £1200 should be enough for both. Let me know what you think! [link] [comments] |
