| Your CPU is probably not going Bottleneck an RTX 3000 card Posted: 05 Sep 2020 03:23 PM PDT If you have a 6+ core cpu in your desktop that came out in the last 3 years. Don't upgrade just for Ampere. I keep seeing people ask if their 10700k or 3600 is going to be enough for a 3070/3080 and it's pretty silly. You only need to be concerned about whether your CPU will bottleneck a new Card IF (and only IF) you currently tax the hell out of it during gaming as is. Got an old 4700k or FX processor that reaches 70-80% utilized during games? A 3070 might not improve your performance by as much as you'd hope. But if you built a new PC in the last 3 to maybe even 4 years depending on your cpu, you're fine. [link] [comments] |
| How hard is it to get a new GPU on release day? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:54 AM PDT Hi folks, I'm building my first PC due to getting a job where I'll be working from home. Friends told me to wait on the GPU until after the Nvidia event, so now I'm planning on a 3080 for what I was going to spend on a 2080 Super. My question is how hard is it to get a GPU on launch day? Can I just like, go to Best Buy like an hour or so before they open? I know demand is high and no one knows what supply will be like due to COVID, but I'm just wondering what my plan of attack should be. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Weird HDMI port on old Nvidia GT 630 Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:12 AM PDT I was trying to connect an HDMI cable on an old GT 630 and noticed it wouldn't fit. Upon further inspection I noticed two small "tabs" on each side as seen here, any idea? [link] [comments] |

| How well would Rainbow Six Siege on this Pc? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:43 PM PDT Specs here couldn't do it on pcpartpicker because my SSD wasn't on there. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 07:29 AM PDT There was a post asking something like "what are mistakes that people do when they finish their builds? I remember someone commenting making sure the ram is in 1 & 3 and something about changing a settings in bios to on or off? I think it started with a t? I didn't know there were settings to change and I still have not done it. [link] [comments] |
| PC build for programming/video editing/gaming Posted: 06 Sep 2020 05:38 AM PDT I was gonna build a pc during spring but virus happened and it delayed my plans, however I'm nearly ready with a budget of £500-£600.

| First pc build : 1080p vs 1440p gpu lifespan Posted: 06 Sep 2020 03:53 AM PDT Hey everyone ! I am not a native English speaker and I am new to pc gaming and Reddit so please feel free to correct any error or clumsiness toward my question or grammar. I was wondering if a gpu on a 1080p monitor will last longer compared to the same gpu on a 1440p monitor. To put it differently, if a gpu gives me the possibilty to play at high settings with 144hz on AAA games on a 1440p monitor for about 3 years before I need to change it, will using a 1080p monitor give me the possibility to play AAA games at high settings with 144hz for a longer period of time ?

| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:50 AM PDT So ive been shopping for a new monitor to add to my setup. Im currently looking at these monitors, they all seem pretty similar except for the prices. They're all 27" 2560 x 1440 , IPS, Gsync compatible, 144hz+. My question is other then the price, are there any advantages on has over the other? Is there any reason no to just got with the cheapest one??? Any other similar monitors you would recommend over these? [link] [comments] |
| Mobo suggestion for 3700x/3070 build Posted: 06 Sep 2020 01:17 PM PDT Hey all, I was looking for a mobo suggestion for a 3700x + rtx 3070 build. I'm not looking to overclock at all. I can't decide between b550 or an x570. Anyone have suggestions for someone who isn't an OCer? [link] [comments] |
| Scratched my mobo + cleaning = PC won't start Posted: 06 Sep 2020 05:14 AM PDT Hi, I opened my PC to clean with a can of compressed air. It did spit some fluid onto my mobo but dissolved soon after. I also had problems deattaching my GPU due to CPU cooler being so big. So i used a screwdriver to open the little latch on the PCIE slot and accidently scratched the mobo. I am worried that i scratched over important "traces" or what you might call them. Now the PC wont start, not even to BIOS, it just "reboots" over and over with black screen. I had a similar case before, but that was resolved by properly attaching my RAM, which is not the case this time. https://imgur.com/a/QfzFqif - Picture of Scratch - Did i just destroy my mobo? Very appreciative for any help! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:58 PM PDT Hey, so I have a good amount of free time on my hands, and I am really active on the buildapcforme sub, and I thought I could help some people on here with their builds. No matter the question I'll try my best to answer, if I dont respond to your comment try DM'ing me instead, as I may not get to all the comments. This might be a little weird, but if you do need help I'm here to help you. Have a good day [link] [comments] |
| Help me pick some part upgrades please? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 12:49 PM PDT coming from a AIO, I'm changing to air in favour of quietness Heres the coolers I was looking at, They all seem mostly the same performance wise so I'm not sure what to get. if you have any other coolers to suggest please do so, but I'd like them to either be noctua or be quiet brand so they match my case fans https://au.pcpartpicker.com/product/F3gzK8/be-quiet-dark-rock-pro-4-505-cfm-cpu-cooler-bk022 [link] [comments] |
| Was going PS5 but now wondering if I'll be ok to upgrade to a 3070 on current rig Posted: 06 Sep 2020 01:57 AM PDT Hello, all. Thanks in advance for reading this. Rig: GTX 1070 i7-6700k 16gb DDR4 RAM MSI Z170A motherboard EVGA 850 G2 PSU As the title says, I had saved up enough money to get a PS5 on release but with the price release of the new 30 series I was wondering I was to buy a 3070 would it be a simple plug and play job on my current build? Would be looking to game 1440p. [link] [comments] |
| Should I buy PC parts now or wait until black friday/cyber monday? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 11:34 AM PDT I originally wanted to buy parts like 2 months ago until I had the realization that if I waited a couple of months I could buy the parts cheaper. However the opposite is happening, for example, in 2 months the ryzen 5 3600 has increased by £20. Does black Friday/cyber Monday even have good deals on pc parts in the first place, I don't know because this is my first time building a PC. [link] [comments] |
| Is RX 5700 XT a good investment? Posted: 06 Sep 2020 01:36 PM PDT I hear about a lot of problems with drivers for the RX 5700 XT. I want to buy one because it's cheaper than Nvidia equivalent cards and I don't really care about things like ray-tracing, but I don't really want to deal with too many problems consistently. What are some of your experiences with this card and is it a good idea to get one? Or should I wait for AMD to reveal a more powerful, similarly priced card? [link] [comments] |
| Built my first PC, because I burnt my gaming laptop this pandemic! Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:04 AM PDT Since teenage I have been into heavy gaming as a hobby. I bought my HP laptop in 2014 after convincing my parents I need this high-end laptop for college programming and "studying". Since the lockdowns, I am working from home had a lot of free time saved due to no travel to office, which I was using for playing games after a gap of almost an year. Then, I burnt the laptop!! The mosfet burnt, damaging the motherboard, due to very high temperature. After 2.5 months of research and collecting funds I built this beauty 2 weeks ago. The bliss of this PC booting up cannot be described. And no, I do not regret my decision buying the 2000 series graphics card just 2/3 weeks before the 3000's launch. That's because the new 3000 series would be a bit long before it ships, and I picked the best suitable for me from what was(is) available then! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 06 Sep 2020 06:01 AM PDT I want to buy a new graphicscard. I want to spend 150-200 euros. Can someone advise me a good one? Dont worry about power suply or motherboard thats okay! [link] [comments] |
| Completely lost on buying a monitor as a gift for a gamer Posted: 06 Sep 2020 02:38 PM PDT Tldr: Tech illiterate husband wants to buy a good gaming monitor for wife but has no idea what to look for. Howdy, my wife is a gamer and a photographer, and I am a retro gamer that doesn't know beans about modern tech. This summer I got a significant promotion and to celebrate we decided to spend a few thousand dollars on getting her PC up to snuff. She's been super excited about the whole process, and I've loved seeing how happy it's made her. I noticed today she was still using her 5 year old budget monitor. I asked and she said it was out of her budget. I'd like to surprise her with a good monitor, but without knowing what half of what monitor specs even mean I'm kind of lost. I know she has an RTX 2080 Super, but I don't know her computers other specs. We live near a Microcenter (which is apparently important). Can anyone offer any suggestions? I's $400-500 a decent budget? I could wait a few months and make it a Xmas gift if it isn't. [link] [comments] |

| PC Part Picker now says I need another M.2 Slot when it didn't before I purchased the parts. Posted: 06 Sep 2020 10:39 AM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2C8vgJ I'm helping build a rig with a Gigabyte Z490 VISION D ATX LGA1200 Motherboard and 3 M.2, and figured that with the motherboard specs it would be good and there was no compatibility warnings according to PC part picker. We went to the site again to get information on wattage usage to see if the PSU would be good enough if we added on, and noticed the following warning. Warning! 1 additional M.2 2280 B+M-key compatible slot is needed. Did we overlook something or is this likely an error on PC Part Picker's site? Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
