| Extremely overwhelmed trying to pick a 1440p 144hz monitor Posted: 04 Oct 2020 11:22 AM PDT Hello guys, i need some recommendations to blindly buy the best 1440p 144hz monitor (for a budget under $300 and for under $400). This by far has been my hardest piece to pick, too much to look for: VA vs IPS, no screen backlight (which seems to be the problem on most ones i find like the Acer Nitro XV272U, but, is it really an issue or am i giving it too much?), gsync compartible (or freesync if possible to use with nvidia), Curve pannel vs flat pannel, etc. The best ones I've found under 300 are the Acer Nitro xv272U (with the issue of backlight), and the AOC CQ27G2 (around 250ish but is VA?). For under 400 ive got the LG 27GL83A-B (no issues here aside from being 100 usd more expensive than the under 300 ones) Could you please throw me in the correct direction? The only thing I'm 100% sure i dont want is a TN pannel because of the viewing angles, aside from that, I'm overwhelmed by the rest of the specs. Will be pairing it with an RTX 3070. Will be used only for gaming and watching movies [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 27” 1440p 144hz IPS Monitor Recommendations? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:52 AM PDT Looking to upgrade from my 1080p VA panel. Budget is $400. Edit: thanks for all the suggestions! you've given me a good starting point to start shopping. At the moment I'm leaning towards the LG 27GL83A-B [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:36 AM PDT Hello, So I am planning out a parts list for a 3070 build. I plan on using it 99% for gaming. I am looking to run specifically COD: Warzone at 1440p. I don't have a way of running an ethernet cable, so I need wifi. I was thinking of switching out the motherboard for a cheaper B550 motherboard (maybe the MSI B550-A PRO) and getting a cheap wifi card ($30-50) to save some money here. But I don't know if getting a cheap wifi card will cause me to have bad connection. I have an old CX750M PSU from a few years back, so I'd like to reuse it. However, PCPartPicker also showed a compability issue. I do plan on doing some light overclocking, so will this be a problem?
*The 2070 is just a placeholder for the 3070. *I do plan on waiting for Zen3. Any opinions? Thanks. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 04:24 AM PDT Hey guys, I am planning a new zen3 build (finally retiring my good old i5-2500k!). Just wanted to check if everything looks good or if there are any other recommended parts. My PC will be pretty close to my bed so I value low noise but still with high performance. Some considerations I had - Purpose: 80% gaming and 20% productivity (coding, using some virtual machines) - I don't mind splurging a bit on the cpu even if it isn't necessary because I hope to keep it a long time - 1000w PSU is oversized but hopefully lower noise with low rpm/zero rpm for most loads? - will wait with motherboard and ram to check if there is any new chipset announced and whether higher memory clock rams benefit zen3 more - Noctua 140mm 2x front, 2x top, move the 3 stock 120mm fans -> 2x bottom, 1x rear. - struggling imagining how it will look without anything lighting the inside, so solid or glas sidepanel? What do you guys think? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Can I trust the websites which pcpartpicker shows me ? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:37 AM PDT I live in Ireland and hope to build my first gaming pc soon, however my parents are worried that I might get scammed (which is understandable because I'm spending around 1000 euro on it). The two websites I'm buying my parts from are komplett and custom pc. Has anyone ever bought from these websites and can verify that I can trust them ? Thank you in advance [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How do I upgrade the bios of a B550 board for Zen 3, if I don't have a Zen 2 CPU? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:46 AM PDT From my limited knowledge (please correct me if I'm wrong), the only option would be to buy a motherboard such as the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite, which has a Q-flash bios button, where you can plug in a USB with the updated bios, and it'll update the bios even without a CPU in. I know with time the boards will ship with the updated bios' for Zen 3, but I want to buy a Zen 3 CPU as soon as they're out. Thanks for your help!

| Times when you thought you'd broken your PC Posted: 04 Oct 2020 05:13 AM PDT I'm curious to read about some times if/when you guys thought you had broken your PC but it continued to work perfectly fine. Perhaps you had accidentally dropped a screwdriver on your motherboard, or you felt like you were gonna break your board in half by pulling out the 24 pin power connector or installing your CPU. I recently opened my PC up to upgrade my RAM and I somehow put it in backwards, I also think I pressed down too hard while inserting my 24 pin connector and USB 3.0 cable, then getting my side panel back on without it bulging out was an absolute nightmare. Luckily everything works fine, but it would be kind of comforting to know that I'm not the only one who makes silly mistakes from time to time lol.

| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:28 AM PDT I just built my first gaming PC. Everything runs great, except for the empty spot where the 3080 should be...working on finding one. I have an air cooler for the CPU, but am considering getting a water cooler to help with temps. I have no plans to OC now, but after a few months the temptation will be too great and I will want to tinker. I have two questions:

| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:58 AM PDT I currently have a GTX 1060 3GB, I usually play games which don't require much (minecraft, etc) though I do sometimes play more demanding games. I've had this PC for 2 years. My entire PC in general has been getting slower and slower, and I think it could be due to the 3GB (???). So heres the question: I'm not sure what my budget would be, but the less expensive the better haha. Thank you for your time. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nearly finished my first gaming PC - BUT! Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:31 PM PDT I am nearly done and i would love love some final help..

| B460 phantom gaming motherboard not connecting to my ethernet card Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:58 AM PDT I just don't know what I'm doing. Everytime I try contacting to the internet it says that I didn't properly Install a network adapter. I have no idea what that means and I have no idea how to fix it [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Building my first ever PC RIGHT NOW - PLEASE Help. Posted: 04 Oct 2020 09:10 AM PDT Hey y'all. I'm halfway through my build right now! But i am currently stuck! I am trying to hook my cables in. Not from the power supply (yet) but from the integraded cables. I put the hd audio and usb 3.0 in its socket. I am currently trying to put the fan cable in but i have no idea where! I have found ports called 'SYS FAN1' 'SYS FAN2' 'SYS FAN3' AND 'PWUP FAN 1' Which one? Edit: I got it. Thanks everyone. Still not finished though. Very scared with the power supply lol [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 09:07 AM PDT I've heard about the RDNA2 launch and was wondering if Nvidia or AMD was going to release a low-end (1660 super price range) anytime soon. I am looking to build a computer during black friday, so will there be a low-end card in time? If not, will the 1660 super drop a fair amount in price?

| Current monitor and adding a second one for 3080 Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:14 PM PDT I currently have an Asus ROG Swift PG278Q that I am hoping I will get better performance out of with a 3080. My questions though are as follows:
Sorry Im sure these are basic questions, but Im not incredibly savvy when it comes to this sort of setup. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| MOBO and GPU recommendation for this build? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 07:58 AM PDT Hello everyone, I'll be finally building my new computer soon which will be a HUGE upgrade compared to my current build. NZXT H510 ELITE SAPPHIRE RADEON RX 5700 XT 8GB NITRO+ (I aim to get this one but it will be depending on the prices with the arrival of the new GPU's, I'm expecting a price drop on this one) So, if you have any recommendations for MOBO AND GPU that would get me the same performance but are more VFM to pair up with the rest of the build since I'm on a budget that would be great :) [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2933MHz Memory V.S. 3200MHz Memory for a 4K Gaming PC Posted: 04 Oct 2020 10:57 AM PDT I'm building a new PC for 4k gaming.

| How many fans are too many fans? Posted: 04 Oct 2020 06:39 AM PDT So i recently moved my build to a new case (corsair 275r). It supports up to 6 fans. (img for simplicity's sake) I'd like to populate all slots for a e s t h e t i c reasons but i can't quite wrap my head around the airflow inside the case. As of now i have in my possession 2xNoctuas 2xML120rgb(AIO) 3xCorsair AF and 3xCorsair oem fans. All of them are 120mm fans. I originally planned to install the 240mm AIO on top but it doesn't fit. So, besides the radiator on front, how should i distribute the fans on the case? I'd like to achieve positive pressure to make good use of the dust filters but 5 intake 1 exhaust seems hella extreme lol [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 04 Oct 2020 12:05 PM PDT when I tried to enable xmp it tried to set the ram to 3600mhz and when I booted it opened the blue screen that says repair or something (didn't work), now is there a way to enable xmp profile to 3200mhz? will there be a noticeable difference between 2666mhz and 3200/3000?

Posted: 04 Oct 2020 08:13 AM PDT Im about to add 3 rgb fans for 360mm radiator to achieve push pull config I saw many youtube videos about which rgb fans to go and i deicded to stick with nzxt fans But do i need rgb controller like hue 2+ If i already have unused rgb cable sticking out of kraken's pump??

| Clone TWO SSD's to One Larger SSD's Posted: 04 Oct 2020 09:22 AM PDT Hi, I am upgrading the SSD storage on my PC, the two SSD's only have games and software on them and no OS.
