| Posted: 26 Jan 2021 09:17 PM PST Just tons of people saying they should have gotten the 3080 and complaining about the price to performance ratio. The 3080 is super hard to find and is already above the 1000$ market and i would imagine it goes up again before the super. I just don't get why under so many build posts people are crapping on the 3090. Mine works amazing and at this point i paid only a couple hundred more bucks then a 3080 is priced for so much less hassle [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST Need help!! Basically I ordered an already built gaming PC about a year ago, but I havent used it much but getting back into it, but higher quality PC Games are lagging and being quite slow, which out of these would you recommend me upgrading? Motherboard: ASUSTek Computer Inc, Prime A320M-K Processor: AMD Athlon X4 950 Quad Core Processor- 3.50GHz RAM: 8.00 Gb Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti When googling it, it seemed a Ryzen Processor and better graphics card is the best option? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 04:54 AM PST Hello i posted here already today but i changed a lot of things about the pc im building because i got a lot of feedback so im asking again if there is something wrong with the setup CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600x GPU RTX 3060 12gb (idk from which company yet because it released recently) MOBO Gigabyte b550 Aorus Elite CASE NZXT H510 Elite (I know it doesnt have the best cooling but i like it a lot) RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 CL18 STORAGE Samsung SSD 970 EVO, M.2 - 1TB PSU Corsair TX-M Series TX750M - 750W [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 11:52 AM PST I recently bought a 2080 ti off of craigslist and it seems to be performing really poorly (see screenshots). I contacted the guy on craigslist asking if he had issues with the card, and when I explained to him that I tried overclocking to fix performance he jumped on that saying that he would no longer accept a refund. He claims there was never an issue - is this true??? I'm kind of broke rn and needed this computer for college so I'm really bummed out about this, please any advice is helpful. 3d mark: http://www.3dmark.com/spy/17825799 userbenchmark: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/39070464 Parts: -Ryzen 5 5600x -gigabyte 2080ti -msi b550i gaming edge wifi -SilverStone SfX 700 -ncase m1 (it is all watercooled using ek blocks and a iceman pump/res combo).

| Friends says PSU isn't compatible? Posted: 27 Jan 2021 10:38 AM PST These are the main components of my setup:
I want to replace my current PSU with the RM750W Gold and eventually my GPU with a 3060Ti. My friend however says that the PSU I want wont either support it, or come with the necessary cables to connect everything together. The Q&A however, on Amazon says everything you could need comes with the RM750W. Can I buy the PSU and be set? Or will I have to buy it, buy some cable splitters or look for a different PSU altogether? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:20 PM PST Ive designed a PC but I'm not sure if it's a good build here are the components: Corsair 220T mid-tower gaming case with 24mm liquid cooling support AMD Ryzen 3 3100x 3 rgb led fans A520 Msi A520 M-A Pro 2x8gb DDR4/3600MHz corsair vengeance Lpx GeForce Gtx1650 4gb-DX12 480GB Adata ultimate Su630 ssd 2Tb seagate barracuda Sata 3 hard drive That is all.

| Help me cut corners on this ~1500€ build Posted: 27 Jan 2021 10:08 AM PST Hello guys,
With the GPU I want to stay below 1500€, so there's nothing I can do but wait. I think. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| For those who are considering VR gaming with prescription glasses... Posted: 26 Jan 2021 09:28 PM PST There are companies out there that sell 3D-printed lens adapters for all the popular VR headsets so that you can play VR without your glasses on! It doubles as a lens protector and some VR headsets don't sit well if the user is wearing glasses. I have a VR headset and i have a scuff on my right VR lens, which is why I'm now looking into getting myself an adapter. I believe that wearing my glasses with the VR headset actually damaged the lens a bit. So this is a good way to protect your $300+ toy. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wraith Cooler for Ryzen 5 5600X Consensus Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:19 PM PST Hey everyone. I am going to be building a computer, and I am wondering what the consensus is for the stock cooler on the 5600x. I do not plan on overclocking at all, just normal gaming and workflow. Appreciate any input thanks. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST I was going to make multiple posts but I'll ask all my questions here. I'd put a pcpartpicker link but most of my parts aren't even on the site. I'm starting with a pretty much stock HP Pavilion p7-1534 if someone wants more detailed specs. Please don't say "get a new mobo", I'll be fine with this it's my first build I don't need something crazy. I have 1 stick of 8GB ram in my pc that I'm trying to upgrade, eventually getting get 3 more? But I want to make sure I get the right one. The model number on the current stick is M378B1G73BH0-CK0. Also, what price should I be paying so I know I don't get ripped off. I plan on upgrading to an A10-5800K and a GTX 1650 "Windforce". My power supply is a PS-5301-02 300W. Will I be safe or do I need a new power supply. I can supply info on drives or other parts if that's important. Upgrading from A8-5500 to A10-5800K, will the old CoolerMaster CM12V be fine? Will it be cooled enough if I want to overclock? I also plan on getting a 500GB SSD. Is there anything else I should be thinking of? Thank you. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looked up some old posts that got me paranoid about my PSU Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:06 PM PST So here's my current build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/26Gq9N I just received a newegg combo for a 3070 gpu tax + gigabyte P750GM. I pulled the trigger on the combo without checking the PSU, but I've wanted a modular PSU upgrade for some years so I figured it was a win-win until I saw the reviews. I don't want to attempt to use it at this point, but while looking up information about it I came across people making me paranoid about my current PSU's age. Its from 2013, pretty much been overkill for my builds since I bought it and basically been through 2 and some change builds. Is it probably safe to toss my new GPU in there? Should I look for a new PSU and wait until I get that to install it? I really didn't think about the PSU failing and taking other parts with it at all until I read them posts but I'm not sure if people are just being overzealous. From what I've looked up the TX series was good quality for its time. Also I've never OC'd my CPU and I was thinking about maybe actually trying to do that. But don't know if that's a good idea to even mess with at this point on the old PSU. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| PC for my mom with money - some video editing and mostly office stuff Posted: 27 Jan 2021 12:02 PM PST She wants to have this PC for some time - budget around 3200€.

| Can you guys rate my build and advice is always welcome :) Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:55 PM PST Hello lads,My last custom build PC died after a long 15 years of working. This old legend was built by my younger brother when he was around 14 or younger and I will never forget how much happiness this PC brought to me and my brother. RIP old fella :( (moment of silence) I would like to buy a new PC and made this build (scroll down) after checking compatibility on pcpartpicker I noticed that I should change my PSU. Can you guys recommend me a good one for this build and I might be interested in overclocking in the future so I want enough juice for it. If you guys have tips and recommendations about my build please let me know. I will thank you every time I'm playing a game without lag. Please keep in mind that I am a total noob in PC building.

| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:44 PM PST I currently have a pc without a GPU, I was planning on getting myself a 3080, but surprisingly the stock hasn't returned. My pc currently is a i9-9900k with 16GB at 3200, on the ROG Maximus XI Hero. and I'm pretty much at my limit of not having a GPU, I've waited long enough to buy a pc that can actually do what I want. Things I do: Game at 1080p preferably at max setting (ETS2, Valorant, Minecraft, Destiny 2, Watch dogs, Assassins creed, etc..) CAD work (Solid works) and 3D Editing (Blender) and some less intensive things that aren't worth mentioning Thanks it advance [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:37 PM PST Sorry complicated question because I just added NVMe drive to my existing build (side note, they are now the same cost as Sata SSD's, it's insane!). Windows is on Samsung SSD Sata 850 Evo 250GB - not perfect, but pretty good! Just added a games drive 1TB NVMe Internal SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s Is there any benefit to having Windows and games on the same drive? Do I bother migrating Windows to the NVMe , it already boots up in about 5 seconds on the Sata SSD as my bootup is very light. Obviously regardless I am putting games on the NVMe for them sweeeeet tiny load times. Just want to ask before I start migrating my games over to the NVMe from my old HDD since the Windows migration tool will wipe it so it'd be a waste of time. I hope I chose the right flair! Thanks! EDIT: forgot to add, I do like being able to kill windows without wiping games. But not at the cost of performance. If it's negligible then I'd separate.

| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:31 PM PST Hello everyone, I need some help with my monitor setup. I have two monitors and LG Ultragear 27'' 144Hz QHD and a Acer Nitro 24'' 75Hz HD. When I unplug the Acer monitor my FPS goes to around 140 and when I plug it in, it goes to around 70. Everything is set that the LG is my main monitor but it still sits around 70 FPS. Is it a visual bug that it still is 140FPS but that it says 70 or did I do somehting wrong? Help would be very welcome! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:29 PM PST I found good deal for Patriot Viper Blackout 3600MHz CL18 RAM, but I heard that Blackout is made for AMD. My question is will this RAM be able to run properly with i5 10400F on Asus prime z490m-p motherboard? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How to get transfer os to another drive Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:26 PM PST | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:24 PM PST So I'm looking into purchasing a new ultrawide monitor. Just to give a quick background, I usually play FPS games such as Overwatch, Rainbow Six, Apex, Valorant, and Warzone (mostly Warzone) and occasionally play stuff like Civ6, RDR2, and HZD. The three monitors that I've had my eye on lately are the Asus PG35VQ, Acer X35, and LG 38GL950. The first two being 1440p, HDR1000, and VA, while the latter is 1600p, HDR400, and IPS. Another monitor that I'm considering but isn't released yet is the Acer X34S which is 1440p, HDR400, and IPS. Is HDR1000 really worth foregoing an IPS panel? Is the framerate loss worth it between 1600p and 1440p? What are your thoughts? Money isn't really a factor, I simply just want the best possible monitor that is currently available (or soon to be available). Edit: PC will be 3090 + 5950X [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| should I go with water cooling or fan cooling Posted: 27 Jan 2021 01:22 PM PST I'm not rich and don't have a lot of money to spend which is more reliable or at least easier to tell if it breaks [link] [comments] |
