| Built my first PC at almost 40 Posted: 03 Jul 2020 10:37 AM PDT I wrote this post predominantly for other 1st time builders that might be intimidated by building their first PC. I started my journey to get a new PC when my Alienware Aurora R4 that I got about 8 years ago started to show it's age. Games like The Division 2 and Anthem were really struggling and I'm confident my CPU was the bottleneck, not my GPU or RAM. I also started getting random resets and after a full reformat, think my PSU may have been the culprit. I started by looking at pre-built PC sites and used that as research to both understand the parts I might want as well as the cost if I decided to just buy the PC. I found that there was a fairly large range in prices for the same parts between the budget and premium pre-built PC sites. I debated just going ahead and buying a PC from the budget PC site, but then looked at customer reviews and decided not to go that route. I then spent some time looking at different configurations on the premium sites, but the prices just gave me sticker shock, even though I know they're good PCs and you're paying for their experienced builders. Once I decided to build the PC myself, I'd say the hardest decision was deciding which Case to go with. I finally landed on the Corsair Obsidian 750D because I wanted something with space to work and didn't want to go with something flashy. Overall, I'm fairly happy with the case, but I do think add/removing the side panels could be a little easier. The two things I was most nervous about were handing the CPU and plugging in all the power cables.
When I was a kid I loved putting together legos, and this basically felt like a bigger, more complex lego build where the instructions are split across multiple guides. My PC is done and I'm amazed by how quiet it is. The Division 2 and Anthem play like butter and no resources are pegged at 100% while playing. Fingers crossed that Cyberpunk 2077 plays just as well. My final build list:
Total Cost: $2,326 (w/o tax) For reference, I've shared a cleaned-up version of the spreadsheet I was using to compare some of the pre-built PCs I was considering and their prices. I removed the budget pre-built PCs because after looking at customer reviews, I decided not to even consider them anymore. Note that the parts and prices in this spreadsheet may not match what's on respective sites, and I scaled a couple of things back for my final build. This also includes my final build, the price I paid, and the link to the website where I got it. This is not an endorsement for any specific retailer. It's just the lowest price I could find across websites at the time I ordered parts. Let me know if you have any questions. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just completed building my PC and realized something Posted: 02 Jul 2020 08:35 PM PDT I've always try to work hard for the things I want as a 14 year old and what I had dream to have one day was an expensive gaming rig. And now I was able to have that dream from buying and selling funko pops which I was able to find lots of good deals. Anyway to day I finally finished building it my self after saving up $500 and i'm super happy even though its not really the best rig ever and realized that you don't need a ferrari when you can do pretty much the same thing with a honda. Same thing goes for pc building you don't need to spend lots of money on building a pc unless you are rich when you can do anything that an expensive rig would do with a $500 pc. I mean it's not as fast as a ferrari but if it works it works you will mostly buy a ferrari for the looks and I'd rather spend it on something better and maybe you should too.

| My first PC afrer a year of hard work! Posted: 03 Jul 2020 09:28 AM PDT I've been a PlayStation player my whole life, and I'm still playing it and will surely by the PS5.

| I'm the guy who spilt a 1l Brisk and vodka directly on the top of his brand new computer. Posted: 03 Jul 2020 12:09 PM PDT Between a mix of ridiculously helpful replies, and one really good friend, I am happy to say that my build is working 100% perfectly. I got a lot of great advice from you guys, and a swift kick in the ass to jump on it as soon as possible, within two days I was able to find 99% rubbing alcohol and I spent probably six and a half hours completely disassembling everything down to the last screw and going over every square inch of every piece of circuitry with a Q-tip and a microfiber cloth. I probably scrub down my entire PC twice before I put it back together, and it would have been done a couple days ago if work hadn't been such a bitch. But it booted right back up, like nothing ever even happened. I've been so stressed out and basically terrified to press that power button for the last couple of hours, and now I'm super happy that I did. Again thank you all for being such a great community and helping me out in what probably was one of my greatest times of selfish need. If there's one thing that I've learned from this, it's no drinks by my expensive shit. To everyone here who's in American y'all have a great holiday, to everyone else y'all have a great weekend. I know i will. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2020 04:48 AM PDT This would be my first time building or buying a pc. I'm not sure wether to build it myself or buy a prebuilt. I could also pick all the parts and get pc case gear to build it for me. I think it could be better for pc case gear to build it for me because then I would have a warranty and I would be certain that no beginner mistake will ruin my pc. Any insight or help would be appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gaming Monitor Guide - what you have to consider! Posted: 03 Jul 2020 04:57 AM PDT Hey, there are a few variables to keep in mind when it comes to game monitors. 1. Size For games, I recommend 24"-27". For action-based games 24", for AAA, adventure, slow games 27". It depends on what you play. I personally play various titles, from esports games like CSGO, to simulators like Farming Simulator, to AAA titles like Assassin's Creed and co. Therefore I decided to use a 27" monitor. Ultrawide, etc. is a matter of taste. 2. Resolution Whilst Full-HD (1920x1080p) is currently still standard, WQHD (2560x1440p) is increasingly gaining ground. WQHD has ~77% more screen area than Full-HD. Also 4K (3840x2160p) is a thing in gaming, but still expensive. You also have to keep in mind, that your pc has to support WQHD or 4K. If your hardware is a bit older, you probably can't run a WQHD or 4K monitor. Mine is a WQHD one, because I wanted to invest in an future-oriented one. 3. Panel There are various panels on the market. The most popular are IPS, TN and VA. The In-plane-switching panel offers a excellent image quality with a big viewing angle, high contrast and brilliant colors. The advantage of an IPS panel is it's short reaction time and it's high refresh rate. The Twisted Nematic panels have a faster reaction time and mostly higher refresh rates than the IPS-panels, at same prices. Also they are more energy efficient and have precise colors. But overall (due to contrast, brightness, etc) IPS or VA panels offer better pictures. The Vertical Alignment panels have excellent contrasts and good viewing angels. Reaction times and refresh rates are slow. If you only play games on your monitor, I would recommend a TN-Panel. If you do other things, such as image/video edition etc., I yould recommend an IPS-Panel. I personally have a IPS-panel. 4. Reaction times For a gamer, reaction time is important, because it displays the time, a pixel needs to change from one color to another. Means: The higher the reaction time is, the earlyer you see pictures moving. The lower your reaction time is, the more streaks you see. There are two variants of reacton times: GtG and MPRT. Whilst GtG is mostly faster, it only explains, how long it one pixel takes, to change from one color to another. MPRT explains, how long a pixel is continuously visible for. So they affect eachother. As a gamer it's important to get a monitor which has both values as low as possible. Most sellers only provide GtG vales, because the MPRT value is to high. If MPRT is not given, don't buy the monitor! My monitors reaction time is 4ms (GtG) and 1ms (MPRT) because I think MPRT is more important for gaming.
Refresh rate explains, how many pictures a monitor can show in a second. The higher the fps are, the more fluent are the movements. For a gamer, you need at least 60Hz, but more is of course better. I personally use a 144Hz monitor (for shooter).
Brightness and contrast affect each other and determine, how good your picture is. Brightness is measured in cd/m2 (Candela) and Kontrast is measured by the difference between the brightest and the darkest possible pixel. As a gamer you should get a monitor with at least 250cd/m2 brightness and a contrast of 1000:1. Modern gaming monitors are at 300-400 cd/m2. I personally have one with 350cd/m2 and 1000:1.
Modern cables for monitor connections are Display Port (1.4/2.0) and HDMI (2.1). It is important to know, what you want to connect to that monitor. Only your computer or a console too? 144Hz Monitors require a Display Port cable to run at 144Hz. Also, WQHD or 4K monitors should only used with Display Port cables to avoid quality loss. AMD FreeSync/NVIDIA G-Sync adapt the fps, made by your graphics card, to the monitor, to avoid streaking. Other features can be things like Flicker-Free, HDR, integrated speakers, USB/headphone ports, integrated Bluelight filter, etc.. Here you have to inform yourself, what you want/need.
Especially, for gamers, that do long sessions, a ergonomic monitor is important to avoid pains. Look for a monitor that hav Tilt-, Swivel- and Pivot-functions, so you can adjust them to your needs. Also, options like a non-reflective monitor, can improve your gaming experience, especially in bright rooms.
Quality has it's price! You will always look at your monitor while using your pc, so invest in it, to have fun. The most importatn monitor manufacturer: Acer/AOC/Asus/BenQ/Dell/Eizo/iiyama/LG/Philips/Samsung/... [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| my frames have suddenly dropped by hundreds Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:32 PM PDT Recently, I bought 8gb of DDR4 2133mhz ram, the same ram I already have installed. We got it working and almost immediately I could feel my PC startup faster. Everything was good, until I opened Rocket League. Usually, my frames are about 165-235 on the highest settings, but when I opened it today it ran at 22-25fps consistently. I turned the settings down to the lowest and it still ran at about 35fps. Rocket League had a small update recently, but I don't think that would change the frames that drastically. I would really appreciate the help as I love the game and would really like to play it again. I will list my specs in case they might have anything to do with it. PSU: 550w Corsair CX550M GPU: GTX 1060 3gb CPU: i5 7400 RAM: 16gb DDR4 2133mhz (half just recently installed) MOTHERBOARD: Asus Prime B250-PRO Many Thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2020 08:10 AM PDT The Two Towers Not very long ago, in a neighbourhood much like many others, there once lived a prince. He had fallen in love with a maiden fair, the daughter of an apple farmer, and eventually they were married to each other with much joy. However, tribulation struck. A plague swept over the land, affecting young and old, rich and poor alike, bringing with it dyspnea, denial and (in a small percentage of cases) death. The prince's small kingdom was not spared, and many of his beloved citizens were afflicted. While isolating himself and his new wife in his home, he began to realize that, while cozy and quaint, it was not enough for the two of them, and she even had to use the apple cart that she had come with to store her paintings. "This will not do," he thought to himself. So he took it upon himself to construct two towers for them to stay in, one dark and one white, to reflect their favorite colours. He labored day and night, designing the layout and components and dreaming of the best ways to obtain them. With the advice of those who had gone before him, construction lists were curated, materials were delivered and knowledge was honed on how to assemble the towers. Unfortunately, one item still eluded him. The muddy boards that were used as the scaffolding to hold the towers together had all but disappeared and, as trade caravans had ceased to come into the kingdom due to the plague, there was no way to obtain more. Frustrated but hopeful, the young prince patiently waited. At last, a light appeared at the end of the tunnel. Word spread of a single shipment of boards that had made its way into the kingdom. But how would the prince know which traders would have access to the supply? Covering his face, he ventured into the markets and back alleys, where merchants would sadly shake their heads at his requests and direct him to look elsewhere. Finally, he managed to find two merchants with a sufficient enough quantity of the boards for the towers! Bringing the boards home, he slowly constructed them according to his planned specifications and lo and behold, they were complete. Joyfully, he and his wife moved into the new towers and continued to stay safe amidst the troubled world around them. TL; DR Wife was using a 2015 macbook with 120gb total memory, totally unsuitable for playing games. She used my old laptop to play L4D2 with me while waiting for B550 motherboards to be available. Massive trouble finding decently priced and available components, but eventually managed to cobble the entire parts list together and we now have our own rigs!

| Posted: 03 Jul 2020 12:48 PM PDT Hi people, I've had the reddit app for awhile but never an account, and I recently got into pc hardware stuff and this subreddit page really pushed me to build a pc now and then show to you all. I was waiting for a good time to build a pc, but the time is now and I can always upgrade later, which I probably will around Black Friday. Here's the build- https://imgur.com/gallery/DuSOd3E Specs- CPU- ryzen 5 1600 af ($108 Amazon) Motherboard- gigabyte a320m s2h ($59 Amazon, used) GPU- rx 570 4 gb reference card ($94 eBay, used) Ram- geil evo X II 16gb 3600 cl18 rgb ($93 Newegg) Storage- xpg sx1800 512 gb m.2 nvme ($71 Newegg) Psu- Thermaltake smart 500w 80+ white ($51 Amazon) Case- phanteks p300a ($65 Newegg) Fans- 5 pack uphere 120mm rgb ($30 Amazon) Total ~ $571 taxes, shipping and deal included I haven't got it running yet, my initial windows 10 download didn't work, I'm re downloading it currently, after being a long time Mac user, I'm super excited to see what pc's are like.

| First Big PC Build, Am very nervous, someone smart approve my list and tell me its okay to order? Posted: 03 Jul 2020 09:35 AM PDT Hi friends! This is my first big PC build, bar adding a graphics card and a few extra bits to a barebones kit. We want it to be able to run Cyberpunk 2077 at good settings, and Witcher 3 at max, as well as hopefully be futureproofed for quite some time. Does this look like a doable PC? I'm super new to this, so if anyone could weigh in with their opinions it would be greatly appreciated. If possible a white or pink aesthetic would be loved, but just white with black innards is fine for too. (Note, the SSD is actually 512GB, I just couldn't find the 512 version on PC part picker, so I manually entered the price)

| Building a PC versus buying a prebuilt Posted: 03 Jul 2020 10:07 AM PDT I know that most of you just by reading the title are already thinking "of course building a PC is better" and you're probably right but I have a tight budget. Basically I've had my eyes on the NZXT Starter PC for a while but now that I have the money to buy it I'm not sure anymore. Unfortunately I'm still a bit new to the whole PC building thing and would appreciate if you wonderful people would suggest whether or not I should get the starter PC or build my own, and if you choose the latter, what parts I should buy. (Cause I genuinely have no clue) My budget is $1000 Edit: I should probably mention that the NZXT Starter PC is this one: https://www.letsbld.com/starter-pc [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Red CPU light quickly flashes to solid yellow DRAM light Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:44 PM PDT Hi, building a PC for the first time. I won't clog this with what I'm running (because I've checked the compatibility of all components about 100 times) besides the motherboard is the Asus ROG Strix, I feel like that's important for my issue. When I try to boot, the CPU (red) light is on for a quick second, and then the yellow DRAM light comes on and stays on. I know the RAM is compatible and I've already tried all the different slot configurations. Another thing is even though I have turned the memOK switch off, it turns out and stays lit, which according to the manual should only happen if the memOK switch is turned on. Any suggestions? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Slightly discouraging for a first time builder, as you can probably imagine. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Had an eventful time installing windows on my first build Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:28 PM PDT I finally built my first PC yesterday! I'm super happy with it, took like 3 hours because I was trying to be so careful but little did I know the worst part would be trying to install windows. For starters, I bought the 64/32 bit package USB when ordering my parts because I didn't have a disk drive and unfortunately everything in my house is Apple, so I can't create my own windows installation media. For whatever reason when choosing 64 bit it kept saying my hardware didn't support it, which I knew couldn't be the case as all of my parts are relatively new and have good specs. After hours of YouTube and google I ended up installing the 32-bit (which it allowed?), creating my own 64 installation tool on my own usb, restarting and booting from that, installing windows 64-bit, then clearing the 32-bit install. Hopefully this can help those of you in the future, just get a friend to make a download for you. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:40 PM PDT This might not be the place to post this, but I wanted to share my experience regarding the orientation fans push air in, so others don't make the same mistake. TL;DR: Check if your (CPU) fans are pushing air in the right way: the fan pushes air from the open side to the side where there's support for the middle of the fan. I have had my pc for a while now, and I always thought my CPU (9700K) was just a bad bin, running hot on stock. Recently, though, I thought that maybe, the fan in my cooler (Dark Rock Pro 4) was oriented incorrectly, and sure enough, it was. It pushed air toward the other fan (ergo the other way) thus pushing air that was warmed by the second fin stack onto the first, on which the first fan was mounted. This resulted in positive pressure going out up top (luckily a grill) and half of my cooler not being cooler at all, while the other side was being cooled partly with hot air. I checked the fan, rotated it and for good measure, reapplied thermal paste, and now, I run at 4.9GHz instead of 4.6GHz, a solid improvement. I do not have the patience to fiddle around for 5GHz, though, and given my CPU still reaches 80°C, I don't care, either. Anyhow, that was my story on my mistake, the realisation and the lesson I learnt. Have a good day! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Got a plan for my first build. Trying for a system I can run VR on. Thoughts/Advice? Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:27 PM PDT I've wanted to build a PC for some time. To me, it's very intimidating making such a large purchase. I get a little nervous about making the right choice while planning out what to get. My intent is to be able to run somewhat CPU/GPU intensive games (modded Skyrim/Fallout and popular FPS games for example) as well as VR. Let me know what you think! I'm especially looking for advice that could help reduce cost while keeping what I want in my final result. I also have a tough time deciding between dual monitors or one large curved one. Any advice that would help performance and my wallet would be great! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qxN7Nq

| Strange voice comming from nowhere? Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:20 PM PDT Hello. This is second time this happned. While I am searching stuff on intenet, out of nowhere I can hear a lady telling a news. Its so creepy, because its very queit even at 100% of volume. Audio quality is like from very bad antenna and quality is very low. I have connected my laptop via 3.5 jack cable, but this is happening even without laptop connected. What it is?? I can upload a video somewhere to proove it. The news are in English, I am from slovakia, sounds like American TV news. Sorry if this does not belong here, but I dont know where else to post it.

| Building a PC, question about SSD m.2 Posted: 03 Jul 2020 01:08 PM PDT I am building my first pc since 2009. I used to be a pc technician but have since been a database guy and my knowledge of hard ware has gone down the tubes. I've never had an SSD, not a sata or any type. Everything I've seen on new mobos is all about m.2 type ssds. I'd like to have two ssds but every picture I see of mobos seems like m.2 slots are only in one spot even though the specs say dual m.2. I'm probably just ignorant and don't understand. Can I have two ssd? I'd like one for my os and main programs and 2nd for storage. Or is it just I have to have a traditional sata ssd in addition to this newer style m.2? Price isn't really anything I'm worried about. Just want to make sure I buy the right hardware for what I'm trying to accomplish. Appreciate any of your alla expertise. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Testing a possibly shorted GPU caused by water damage Posted: 03 Jul 2020 03:18 PM PDT Hi! So 2 weeks ago my cat spilled my glass of water directly into my computer, and it pretty much killed my motherboard and PSU at the minimum, so I bought new parts and everything, all is working great. But I still wanted to try to test my GPU to see if it survived, even if water got straight onto it, or if it's dead, but I'm a bit scared that it could damage my motherboard or other parts if it's damaged, or dead. Is it possible or is it safe to try? [link] [comments] |
