| Is the Core 2 Duo useful anymore? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 04:38 AM PST A while ago, I took apart my computer, as my family no longer needed it, and it had already started showing its age many years before it stopped being used. The CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6300, and I was considering re-purposing it in a build put together with old parts I can find on ebay. But, after looking at a bottleneck calculator, it says that the cpu wouldn't even be good with a GTX 1050! So, would my processor even be useful now if I wanted to build a cheap, low end system out of used parts (except the psu of course) that can at least run games at 60fps low/med? Edit - I know that games are less CPU dependent at higher resolutions, so if I could find a used... lets say, 1070, and run it at 1440p or even 4k, could I get away with my old CPU? Or should I just take the risk of slight bottlenecks and go for a 1050, or heck even a 900 series? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 06:48 AM PST Hi guys, I was able to save up on my first job to build my own pc. I got myself a Ryzen 5 build for gaming and also for my job. I currently work from home and was looking into a good investment for a chair and desk that would last long and also for comfort. With all the reviews, I am not sure what to get. My job requires a lot of time to sit in front of a computer so If there would be a chance for an adjustable table that I can stand or have the sit go up would be great! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 05:06 AM PST Troubleshooting Help: I have attempted installing a 1tb HDD on my computer. I already have a 500GB HDD and a 480GB SSD. However, whenever I get to manage the disks, the new one is listed as "Disk 0" and says its an "unknown driver" who is "not initialized". When I try to initialize it, I get a message saying "A non existing disk was specified". I have connected both the SATA cable and the other one that links to the motherboard. I switched the cables around with the other drives, and the other two work fine. This one I can't get to work though. It either gets unrecognizable or it gives me the "non existing" error. I also tried running diskpart, but it gave me an error too. I'm thinking maybe I connected something wrong? But I simply made the same thing that was going on for the other HDD, with the two cables connected. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 12:53 PM PST Ever since we moved to Canada I have only been able to game on my laptop which was way out of date (Samsung ATIV II 2012). She saved up some money and surprised late November by telling me to order my components and so we did just that. The hardware arrived in less than two weeks and we got to building. Three days ago she told me someone on Facebook was selling a CM EVO 212 RGB edition and so we bought. She installed as I told her to so she could learn more and now the PC is upgraded. List of components:
We hope to build another rig this summer (if prices are reasonable and there is stock) for me again so she can keep this one, we will probably only sell the CPU and GPU and buy her a 3060ti for this rig. I love this so much and I love her so much! [link] [comments] |
| What do you people think about this build? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 01:56 PM PST This build will be used for some moderate Minecraft gameplay and Youtube. The budget is £600. Any recommendations are welcome. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/KmzhTJ Edit: changed my PCPP link. [link] [comments] |
| A friend is looking to build a PC, his max budget is $2300 Posted: 28 Jan 2021 09:39 AM PST |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 09:21 AM PST For gaming and media "consumption" I've always preferred nice quality speakers before headphones, since I started my computer "hobby" with producing music, it felt more natural to me. Is there any reason to go to headphones for things like gaming/ YouTube/ shoddy 3D modeling in blender? (Amps DACs and things like that out of the question just pure experience and preferences) [link] [comments] |

| Hey everyone, first time build! "PLEASE HELP!" Posted: 28 Jan 2021 11:01 AM PST Hello! I'm 18, currently in a diploma for game design and I'm upgrading my set from my 1060 Ti. I put together a pretty pricey build that I'm planning on being one of the longest term investments in a pc I'll ever get. I was wondering if anyone could go through my parts and let me know what I should change or what can't go with what. I tried to do research but thought I'd ask here. I looked across videos and other peoples builds. I'm pretty sure it's overkill but it's meant to last me an incredibly long time. My build: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/8ZDk7X [link] [comments] |
| How to download windows on a second ssd that I'm going to put in a old, storage-less laptop. Posted: 28 Jan 2021 01:04 PM PST I have an old school laptop from high school that they gave us, I took out the SSD and put it in my PC and wiped it clean. I thought it would be pretty simple to download an OS onto the SSD so that I can take it out of my PC. Should I just go the normal route and now that it's wiped clean I can just put it in the laptop and then plug in a flashdrive ready to boot windows? Is there a simpler way that doesn't involve a USB and I can download it directly onto the SSD without it messing with my PC? Sorry if this is confusing and thanks in advance for your help.

| Would upgrading an old Dell OptiPlex with a GTX 1660 6GB be able to run games at ~100 FPS? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 02:25 PM PST I brought home a Dell OptiPlex 7020 to work from home, but now my company is upgrading systems, and I was allowed to keep it. Would it be worth it to upgrade the PSU and add a GTX 1660 into the system, or would the CPU bottleneck it too much?

| Help Choosing new CPU (and possibly motherboard) to pair with a RX5700 Posted: 28 Jan 2021 02:23 PM PST So I recently got a RX 5700 xt and for the most part it has been working great, however I have still had issues with FPS drops in some games(mainly Assassins' Creed Odysseys and Horizon Zero Dawn) and have been considering upgrading my CPU. I'm currently running a Ryzen 5 1600(OC'd to 3.7Ghz) and a ASROCK B450 Pro4. Would you all recommend a new CPU or a new CPU and motherboard(and if so which), or is there something else that I didn't think about? Soft budget of around 300 dollars. [link] [comments] |
| How are the GPU breadlines going? Posted: 28 Jan 2021 10:36 AM PST My RX580 is becoming a bit stale, and could use a freshly baked 6800xt. But rations look meagre, and the winter cold bites. Is it worth queueing now, or perhaps wiser to hunker down on my low fps crumbs for a bit longer, and hope that Spring and Summer brings a bountiful harvest? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 02:20 PM PST I plan on using a Ryzen 5 3600 on a ASRock B550M pro4 mobo with the ripjaws 16 GB and my question is which GPU would y'all recommend that I use for that set up for gaming/work. What do the experts have to say? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 28 Jan 2021 01:58 PM PST Sorry if this isn't allowed on the sub: I was about to buy something from Amazon but was just short to qualify for free shipping. So I decided to get a longer display port cable as the one that came with my monitor is too short and is always pulling up on the port. When I looked at them I saw that they all had different rated refresh rates/speeds. Is this another one of those marketing ploys or does it actually matter what quality cable you get? I've just been using the one that came with my monitor. [link] [comments] |
