| I finally built my own gaming pc! I'm literally shaking!!! Posted: 25 Jul 2020 05:19 AM PDT Thank you for everyone who shared some tips here! I forgot to include in my parts THANK YOU! I really enjoyed building my first gaming PC! I was really sweating when I first tried to boot it up outside of the case using a screwdriver and very happy when it showed life. Thank you, it may not be the best specs out there but I am very proud and contented of this one. All my hard work and overtime finally paid off! Thanks and stay safe everyone! PS. I didn't eat the thermal paste, as someone suggested. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 04:12 AM PDT Y'all some helpful ass mofos for real. Took me 7+ hours but everything this bad boy booted up on the first go. Sorry for typical cheesy reddit post but holy fuck I am satisfied as fuck right now. Going to be gaming HARD tomorrow. Love you. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How much ram do you really need for gaming? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:44 AM PDT I wanna get 8gb ram to make the build cheaper but friends have suggested I get 16gb ram and honestly I don't know if there is a difference at all. Edit: processor is AMD ryzen 5 3600x and the graphics card is Gigabyte RTX 2060 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New Laptop or PC from scratch? On a budget of $1500 Posted: 25 Jul 2020 06:53 AM PDT I hope this isn't breaking the rules? I have an old laptop which is literal trash compared to the technology out there today, it's $200 laptop I got from a pawn shop a couple years back for school. It got the job done that it needed but it's so bad I can't even stream online or browse the web. I have enough money laying around for once that I can buy my self something nice, my birthday is coming in a couple months so I can think of it as an early birthday present. Now back to the question, the max I'm willing to spend is $1500 and this is me really pushing it, I'd be happier with spending less. I'm not good with technology and after hours of endless google searches and reading laptop specs I'm still unsure of what I should get, so here I am asking you guys. I'm looking for something I can use for streaming and gaming, I'm looking for something I can play my Xbox games with. What would be a better use for my money in the long term as well? Upgrading my PC or buying a new laptop so I have two laptops? Also if I collect enough parts after upgrading can I build two PC's? This is what I like so far but have no idea if it's any good. Acer Aspire 7 15.6" and ASUS ROG Strix G15 15.6". Can I build a PC better than that within $1500. Canadian if helps at all. P.S don't mind my rambling, I'm high and pulling an all nighter. If you've made it this far, thank you for reading :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 09:03 AM PDT Hello everyone, I just finished my first real build. Well, I kinda built my old PC too, but I didn't really care much and just put everything together. But this time I didn't try to rush anything and just put everything together nicely. My old PC also didn't have a window so I actually had to think about cable management this time. Anyways, I really really like how it turned out. I never thought I could build something like this by my own. Thanks to all the guys that answered my questions the last couple of days, you really helped me. :) The parts I used: MSI RTX 2070S Gaming X Trio MSI Z150a Gaming Pro Carbon (kept my old one) i7-6700k (also kept this one) Kraken X63 32GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM (kept these aswell) NZXT H510 Elite Case I hope everyone is having a good time and staying safe.

| I got some thermal paste on cpu pins Posted: 25 Jul 2020 08:22 AM PDT I cleaned it up best as possible with 70% alk and q-tips/toothpicks. EDIT: I can't tell you exactly what kind of paste it is because the board and cpu were put together as a service, i only know it is silver in color.

| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 08:22 AM PDT Ive been playing on 60 hz my entire life, now i am about to switch to 144hz,in my Country i can get the Asus VG249Q for 200 euros(exactly). Its IPS and its looking nice so i would like to see what are you guys thinking about it? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I want to build a PC to game better than a console at $550 max 600$ Posted: 25 Jul 2020 12:41 PM PDT I have no idea about anything related to building a PC but am interested in building one as an alternative to the PS5. MY budget in the title and would really appreciate any parts advice based on personal experience. I want to play COD LoL Valorant CsGO Basically I'm not going to be playing the Witcher or GTA but I want to be able to play the average mainstream game Thank you in Advance and I'm sorry if I broke any rules regarding this post, I didn't know Also building advice and what not to do would be appreciated Again thank you [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| AMD Builds: Why B450 instead of X570? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 07:19 AM PDT I'm a PC building noob, so this is probably a dumb question but.... I keep seeing build recommendations for the Ryzen 3600 that include a B450 motherboard. Aren't the X570 boards superior in every way ( PCIe 4.0, Zen3 compatible ) and pretty close in price? I just picked up the ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi) on sale for $169 and I'm not sure why anyone would buy a B450. What am I missing? Edit: what's with the downvotes? Is this the wrong forum for this question? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:14 PM PDT Picture for reference, I was looking to buy one (preferably in Canada) but notice they are not nearly as popular, why not? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What kind of power connector is this? Posted: 25 Jul 2020 12:53 PM PDT I have a cable that works but it's a 6+2 x2 which I don't think is right. I have money to get a new cable, help is appreciated so I don't burn my house down with a 5700xt. https://imgur.com/gallery/jGcgjN8 [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hello r/bpc,I'm looking for someone with far more knowledge than I on today's market & technology to guide me on a decision. First, I'll shed some light on my computing & homelab needs & current setup: 1: Current Workstation
2: Goals For New Build:
3: HomelabI also run a beefy home server for a variety of reasons so I figure it's worth mentioning. Maybe it'll help with getting quality advice.
4: What should I change about my build?
ORRRR...
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THROUGH THIS NOVEL OF A POST!!![link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I have some questions about my cooling system being compatible with my motherboard and case. Posted: 25 Jul 2020 10:48 AM PDT I plan on getting the Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler. After reading some good/bad reviews I think it's a great choice. PCPartPicker says it's compatible, but also has some side notes. I like this cooling system (the color is what i really like), but pc part picker is saying "T he Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard." So, my biggest questions are: 1. Can anyone else tell if I will need a mounting adapter? and 2. With my RAM clearance is my fan still okay? After a good amount of googling I'm having trouble finding an adapter. Here is the build I have so far. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/seukmi/saved/#view=qXBgt6 Thank you for your time!

List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. I am running a dual monitor setup. My main monitor (24g2u) is connected through display port while the other (R240HY) is connected through HDMI. Whenever I play a graphic intensive game, the main monitor will briefly go black, then after around 3 seconds picture returns. While this is happening, the monitor using HDMI is still working, sounds can still be heard, and the main monitor light is on. This happens very randomly; I can be playing for an hour and not see it happen, but sometimes it can happen very often. GPU is at it's stock settings. Running driver 20.7.2 Things I've tried: Updated drivers and mobo BIOS Disabled freesync Underclocked my card. Increased the power limit Reseated the GPU Bought a new Displayport cable Ran one monitor setups with each monitor respectively. The issues with the main monitor still remain while the second monitor runs fine. Note also that the 24g2u will run with no issues while using HDMI. Plugged the monitor into my brother's setup using a GTX 1650 Super. Ran Superposition benchmark with no issues. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looking to build a gaming PC, in need of some advice Posted: 25 Jul 2020 02:09 PM PDT Hi! I just discovered this subreddit yesterday and it is perfect for me, as me and my husband are looking to build a new PC. We both have custom rigs currently, however would like to put our money into a single new one and build from scratch. I would like some advice on parts. He is pretty set on having Intel over Ryzen. I would like advice on each if possible. He also wants something with multiple HDMI ports as he would like to have 2/3 monitors hooked up at some point. If possible, a Pcpartpicker list would be great to help visualize the cost and parts. Budget is around 2k. EDIT: The monitor we were looking at getting is the Westinghouse WH32UX9019 32" if anyone has opinions on that while we are at it, I will take them [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:58 PM PDT Ok so I know next to nothing about building a pc, so I was wondering if I should build a decent one (which I know absolutely nothing about) and try to lean how to do it or just buy a pre built one? My budget is like 700-1000$ CAD [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:54 PM PDT I recently built a $450 PC and am looking towards the future for upgrade potential. The main way I kept cost down was getting the Ryzen 3 3200g, and no dedicated gpu. I love the consistent 1080p60 I am getting in fps games with the Vega integrated graphics. However, I was wondering, what would be the lowest-level gpu, Nvidia and/or AMD, with which I could get better graphics performance? If I want to upgrade my cpu sometime in the future, I would have to have already upgraded my gpu. P.s: Here is a link to a post of mine with a full spec sheet. If anyone with more experience would like to tell me what I should actually look into upgrading first, that would be appreciated :). [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:49 PM PDT Is the stock cooler good enough or should I splurge on a nicer one? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 25 Jul 2020 11:33 AM PDT How do i clean this SSD i bought, i need NOTHING on it. thanks [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looking at building my first future proof gaming pc, feedback would be appreciated! Posted: 25 Jul 2020 01:41 PM PDT I have picked all the parts I would like but would love your opinions on this build to make sure I'm not overlooking anything!
EDIT: Revised parts list. [link] [comments] |
