| To all the young builders put there- your age isn’t relevant to the advice you get Posted: 17 Aug 2020 08:31 AM PDT I love seeing all these kids building computers. That's great! More power to them! I don't care how old they are though, and frankly, adding their age seems like compliment fishing. At the very least, it isn't relevant to getting the information they're seeking. This is a place to get and give build advice and troubleshoot build issues- not a place to stroke your ego. Maybe it's just me, but I'd appreciate if we kept it focused on computer builds, not computer builders. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey guys it's the 14yr old builder from last week Posted: 16 Aug 2020 08:46 PM PDT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE ADVICE AND SUPPORT!!! You have no idea how much it means to me with all the advice! Today I got all the money I needed and went out and got the parts I needed to build the pc! Thank you guys so much for being so kind! EDIT: Sorry I also forgot to mention best buy didn't have the b450 board I was looking for so I ordered online to pick up curbside :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Please review my 2000$ gaming pc list Posted: 17 Aug 2020 11:30 AM PDT I play GTA V, CSGO, Dying Light, Fallout 4, planning on playing Cyberpunk 2077 as well. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hx3ztp (I'm aware the storage is small i'm planning on upgrading it when it becomes too full) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My first build, finally done! Despite all the hardships Posted: 17 Aug 2020 07:11 AM PDT Thank god! After 5 exhausting days my first PC is finally here! At this point it is more of a relief than anything. I was having trouble with the video output and today I went back to the store where I bought the parts to see if they can diagnose the problem. They said they can't do that there and need to charge me ~40 bucks to bring it back to the tech support or they can swap a new video card for me for free. So, alright, I think I will try the new card. And it worked. 3 days late for my birthday but better late than never right? Not gonna lie, a lot more work than I expected, but now it's done. Now I can finally sleep in peace waiting for the drivers install and file transfer. Edit: Specs: PCPartPicker Part List

| Is now a good time to build a pc? Posted: 17 Aug 2020 11:04 AM PDT I'm running on a tight budget and I think I've made a pretty good build. However, I would rather wait a month or two if sales or prices decrease than losing money because I want to play gmod ASAP. The pcpartpicker list for my build is below. I am in the UK.

| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 09:33 AM PDT Hey guys, I need some help here. I have a computer, which i built budget oriented. I started with a Ryzen 3 3200G, MSI B450 Gaming pro Carbon AC, 650W Bequiet PSU and 2x4 GB 2400 MHz G.Skill RAM. On this basis I wanted to upgrade. Firstly, I build the same set of RAM again, because 8 GB weren't enough, because the onboard GPU of the CPU reserced 2 GB for itself. Then I bought a GIGABYTE 1660 super OC as the first big upgrade. Everything worked wonderfully I had 90~ fps in Overwatch on highest settings and 120-140 fps in World of Tanks on highest settings. But since 2-3 weeks the fps have fallen dramatically. Over watch has 30-40 fps from time to time and World of Tanks is down to 80. I've checked the temperatures they don't reach higher than 60-70 °C, even though it was 35 °C outside. I tried reinstalling/updating the drivers, but it only helped for maybe a day or two. Also the graphics card an CPU are running on more like ~70% instead 100%. I didn't change any power settings during the time that it worked and now. My question is something wrong with the GPU or could it be the RAM sticks, where 2 out of 4 may be from a different batch and are now starting to slow the PC? I read something similar on this forum but I am not sure. Help is gladly appreciated! Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Friend was running on integrated graphics for a year Posted: 17 Aug 2020 01:15 PM PDT So I have a good friend from school that I would normally game with (we would play tarkov, rising storm 2 Vietnam etc). Anyway one day he complained about visual glitches so I asked what graphics card he had. He screenshared and it was a 1660ti as seen through task manager. Then I suggested he open Nvidia control panel only for it to come up with an error that no graphics card can be seen. So I asked him to send a photo of the back of his PC and behold his graphics card was not connected to his monitor! Long story short he connected it and it is now like a new computer. Morale of the story... Connect your graphics card to your monitor! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Help understanding how to choose a compatible SSD? Also, can I put a non-compatible one to work...? Posted: 17 Aug 2020 10:29 AM PDT Hi everyone! Today my friend showed up with a [Kingston A2000 M.2 2280 NVMe] SSD to use in his new build, the mobo being [B450 AORUS PRO]. The thing is, this is not listed in compatible devices, even though the mobo states that it supports 2280 PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 [ 1 x M.2 connector (Socket 3, M key, type 2242/2260/2280/22110 SATA and PCIe 3.0 x4/x2 SSD support) ]. Now, of course we are upset, but is this a common thing? Does list compatibility really matters in this context and should always be consulted, this purchase being a mistake? Also, we discovered that some mobos can't boot from NVMe, but how do we search for such information? Couldn't find anything solid stating that the [B450 AORUS PRO] can or can't boot from nvme drives. The SSD won't show both in BIOS and Windows but we haven't tried all of the internet fixes we found so far. What do you guys know about it that may help or enlighten us? Thank you xD [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 11:55 AM PDT Thank you guys so so so much for all the help you've given me the last few months, I can't believe this is actually happening, really happy with the build I ended up getting! :D GPU should be arriving soon, then the only thing I'll be missing is the 4 Arctic P14 fans I ordered. Thanks again!

| Finally finished building to my satisfaction (Images included) Posted: 17 Aug 2020 01:43 PM PDT I initially bought the parts for this in Feb 2019, but it took me a while to put everything together as I wanted, I finally have things done. I want to upgrade some things, but don't really need to right now. (Case mods done May-July 2019, final set of fans and cable management done August 2020) Parts list:
The N200 case is a solid panel design that lacks a PSU shroud. I used my Father-in-law's metal shop to cut a full side panel, then added an acrylic window, along with a 120mm fan hole in the same spot as the original case (right over the video card). I then created a cable shroud with more acrylic and painted it, as well as adding the TUF Gaming logo patch in order to cover some unsightly holes in the case. Now for some pictures:Side shot (through panel) Video in action: https://imgur.com/ZAwRsHo (Side fan isn't spinning as it is connected to the video card and only triggers when that gets hot) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 11:19 AM PDT my m.2 too slow it took so long to boot maybe even longer that hdd and games in my m.2 took so long to load [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 10:51 AM PDT I'm thinking of building a pc, and i'm not sure what cpu to go for. In the build i'm hoping for an RTX 2080 super, 16gb 3600 ram, and maybe a ryzen 9 3900x, or a ryzen 7 3700x. Could someone give me some advice?

| Which graphics card should I buy Posted: 17 Aug 2020 11:32 AM PDT I'm planning to build a $800-$900 gaming pc and I'm having difficulty on which gpu to go with. I'm currently leaning towards a sapphire 5600xt but I have seen some videos about how the 2060 may be similar or even better performance but not as good of a bang for the buck card.

| 2nd stick of ram is turning my PC on and off - Help! Posted: 17 Aug 2020 12:22 PM PDT Just bought a second 8gb stick of ram, exactly the same as the one I already own.. went to pop it into my mobo and when I turned it on it powered for about 3 seconds then turned itself off.. repowered itself for 3 seconds again, and turned itself off again, and keeps on doing this. Just cycling its power on and off over and over. I have physically unplug it in order to prevent this from happening, as not even holding down the power button (while it's on for 3 seconds) keeps it off. Now I went through the tests, trying each stick of ram to see if the new one was bad or something.. however my PC powers on and works just fine with either stick by itself, without the other plugged in. As we speak it's plugged into the "A2" slot and I attempted to slot the new one into the "B2" slot, which is what caused this issue. And normally I would say screw it, and plug them both into the A1/B1 slots.. except that i'm using the coolermaster fan that covers over my A1 slot completely (hence my 1st stick of ram being in the A2 slot all this time)... which is very unfortunate =( I have the ASUS z97-p motherboard, and no idea what do about this.. help me out please!

| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 12:25 PM PDT I''ve been wondering which GPU is better and what the differences are between the EVGA geforce RTX 2070 super FTW3 Ultra+ with triple fans and the Gigabyte geforce RTX 2070 super also with triple fans. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Pc has power but does not turn on Posted: 17 Aug 2020 08:33 AM PDT I could use some help in troubleshooting why my computer will not turn on. Asus am4 tuf X570 AMD RYZEN 7 3700x G skills ripjaws 32gb DDR4 3200 Gigabyte GeForce GTX2070 1TB SSD 750w power supply Mx331 case I see the motherboard RGB lights in the lower right turn on and change colors but NOTHING else happens on the computer. I did buy a higher power PSU (650 to 750) and a new tower as I plan to add fans. pictures Any ideas? Thank you all! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 06:49 AM PDT I was going to get the B550 Aorus pro but that has a USB/Memory problem, then I went with the B550-F Strix but that has a faulty lan chip. Can somebody just suggest the best B550 up to $200 in cost that doesn't have anything faulty since if I find another board I want that has a problem I might just shoot myself, (that was a joke but I really am frustrated) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| what is more important for graphic design? Posted: 17 Aug 2020 02:19 PM PDT Is it ram, cpu or gpu? i won't be doing purely graphic design i'll also be doing fps gaming btw. can anyone also give me combos of parts, cpu+gpu (maybe ram)? i know this more or less a full system. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 17 Aug 2020 02:02 PM PDT 10700 is only 20-30 dollars more but has 2 more cores and 4 more threads. Should I get that instead of 10600k for gaming? I think it would be more future proof. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ditching the Xbox to game for real now— does this set-up raise any red flags? Posted: 17 Aug 2020 02:01 PM PDT So I'm a new airman, fresh out of basic training and stuck on base for the foreseeable future because of COVID. Instead of the typical high-APR Mustang purchase, a PC is more my style as far as money pits go. All peripherals too, starting completely from scratch in the dorm! [link] [comments] |
