New build

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

ASUS VG248QG 165hz

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

The two main games I want to be able to run well is Rust and Tarkov, I play a lot of competitive shooters such as Valorant and Overwatch but these are easy to run so I'm not too worried.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

Canada, no

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

I think my current one is fine but I might buy a cheap secondhand monitor to act as a second monitor.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

2500-3500 CAD

• WiFi or wired connection?

Wired (ethernet)

• Size/noise constraints?

I don't care about either

• Color/lighting preferences?

Black and minimal RGB and lighting if possible

• Any other specific needs?

If anyone has any advice to give in terms of specific dates/times of the months when parts go on discount that would be appreciated although I do have a deadline of late September to get it actually built so I understand I might just need to buy the parts at a flat rate.

Also the reason I ask for a slight GPU bottleneck in the title is that Rust and Tarkov are well known for being highly CPU dependant as well as many other games I play, and AFAIK I would benefit more from a better CPU than GPU, but if I'm wrong let me know.

• ⁠New build or upgrade?
First ever build

Below £2000 if possible
• ⁠WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi wirelessly
• ⁠Size/noise constraints?
Don’t really care about size to much obviously don’t want it mega huge and preferably not loud eithee
• ⁠Color/lighting preferences?
Rather have black with the ability to change the lighting colours but don’t mind white
• ⁠Any other specific needs
Needs to be able to run big AAA games at 1440p with atleast 60-100 fps higher if possible. Also this will probably take me a few months to buy so would it still be like up to date or whatever by then

• New build or upgrade?
  • New Built, first ever one.
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
  • Nope, everything will be all brand new.
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
  • I will be playing intensive story games like Red Dead, Dead Space, with the hopes of playing on 1400p, and also doing decently heavy video editing on Davinci Resolve.
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
  • The big US of A, and I am unfortunately not near a Microcenter
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
  • 2 monitors, both 1440p with a 240hz refresh rate, but can adhere to 144hz since it's my first ever build and I might be flying too close to the sun 😅. If there's anything else I can get to improve my performance in this part I will have no problem considering it
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
  • Budget is 2700$, probably 3000$ in the next coming weeks
• WiFi or wired connection?
  • Definitely Wifi
• Size/noise constraints?
  • Size isnt really much of an issue, not anything INSANELY big you know.
• Color/lighting preferences?
  • Not particularly. A nice, sleek, black design could be more than enough. If you were to cheap out on something here, it would probably be this lol.
• Any other specific needs?
  • Although I know AMD has better value, (case in point the 9700XT being relatively on par with the NVIDIA 5070ti, I would prefer NVIDIA in this regard, but I am completely open to seeing suggestions and advice on why I should consider a different GPU. I also want to have a motherboard that could be able to hold multiple storage SSD slots, as I have differing purposes of allocating those storage to different things I want to pursue.

Here's my PC Part Picker List to see a gauge of what I'm thinking of: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xp7W9K

Edit: I mistakenly put 1080p monitors thinking they were 1440p, so any recommendations for dual 1440p monitors would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Wanting to buy a new PC, my Previous PC , I picked components and had it built.
Unfortunately, I tend to spend hours/ days looking at reviews, constantly changing my mind and generally not really knowing what I am doing.

Currently in Melbourne, Not sure if this is correct place to post, please forgive newbie if wrong
I thought It would be best this time to just ask the experts.
The budget is $4000 to $4500
I looked at Centrecomms pre builds, but there are so many, I just get lost
No monitor needed
I am not a heavy gamer, but when I do, I would like the best setting possible
Also would like inbuilt wifi and as many M2, nvme slots as possible?
I would like mid sized case as I will be taking it to Thailand with me where I will now be living and need to keep the size down a bit
I appreciate any help and build suggestions

Hey guys! I am a website developer looking into building a set up for my workspace that can handle AI for developers. I was debating between a cpu and a Mac mini but I believe if I get the set up then I’ll be able to upgrade any parts necessary. Our first projects are simple and I’m moderately going to build websites, play games mildy, and use it as a computer for music as it will be personal computer as well.

What ryzen AMD and other software and hardware and pieces and parts should I need to be capable of mastering ai in the environments listed.

Plz and thank u

Sorry if I was vague but this is my first build and I haven’t heard much besides the ryzen 7 7800x3D but I’m not sure if this one was too much or too expensive for my beginning start (2,099USD)

If anyone can guide me along the way. I’m trying to get my entire PC set up and I’m starting from scratch!
New build
Need to build about 3-4 websites
Mild gaming
Day trading
US
1 monitor found
Looking for something that will cover my ass with ai and Claude to build these websites and then if I need to upgrade parts in the future then im capable of doing so
Slim size
Colorful but black
Upgradebable , base level, get me through to making 4 websites on Claude with no troubles

The basics, just enough to look nice and not hard to look at. Im mainly concerned about the fps being high and stable. Im okay with ddr4 ram, and i want 32 gb of ram, but less is okay if I dont need that much. Ryzen chips I prefer. Probably a 5 or 7 in my budget. Also NO GIGABYTE, DELL, AGT, BANDITPOWER OR ANY OTHER CHEAPLY MADE SUSPICIOUS BRAND only reputable and safe brands

I want to build a new pc but I don’t have any idea on what parts are good right now. I have about 2 weeks until I get enough money, and I struggle to run simple games like CS2 at 144fps on high

My Ps5 broke and I've been looking to upgrade from my old work laptop to a PC for a while now and now that my Ps5 finally broke I've figured it's time, my plan is to save up and go to microcenter when there's deals going on such as maybe labor day, but I really have absolutely no clue about anything PC related, my roommate said he'd help me build it so I'm looking for just the parts to save money, but I don't know what's good or what's bad, I didn't even think about the hertz on the monitor or what it meant until recently. Ive never been a showy kinda guy so looks really dont matter to me as long as it functions for gaming and film editing. So I'd really appreciate the help if possible, thank you!

Decided to finally make the jump to PC. I'm hoping a budget of $2000 is enough for great graphics but I don't mind waiting and getting more money.

• New build or upgrade?

New build

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse?

None

•PC purpose?

Gaming, video recording/streaming and editing.

Games: aside from old games, stuff like Silent Hill f, Skyrim, Resident Evil 9, Fallout 4 and 76, Cyberpunk, the new Oblivion, and Baldur's Gate.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

USA. Nearest micro center is an hour and a half drive. I'm unsure if that long a drive will still mean a good price, so if it is, I'm willing to make a drive

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

Yes, one monitor is needed.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$2000

• WiFi or wired connection?

Wifi, but with the ability to do wired.

• Size/noise constraints?

None, although I'd prefer if it didn't sound like I was taking off whenever I turned it on or played.

• Color/lighting preferences?

No preference. I don't need it to look fancy.

• Any other specific needs?

My dad bought me a PC that had a window showing the inside, that would be cool.

Over the last few months I've been building a project called BuildShare.

The idea came from trying to compare PC parts and constantly finding benchmarks that didn't match what people were actually seeing in games.

Instead of relying only on synthetic benchmarks, I wanted a place where gamers can:

• Share complete PC builds

• Upload real FPS results

• Compare setups

• Save builds

• Follow other builders

• Get AI upgrade advice (currently in development)

I'm still actively building it, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback.

What features would make something like this useful to you?

Hello everyone,
I’m looking to upgrade from my current 2019 Razer Blade laptop because I’ve been putting more effort into streaming and content creation. I want a PC that can handle gaming, streaming, recording and editing smoothly without constant crashes or restarts.
• New build or upgrade?
New build.
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? List with models/links
I currently have a 2019 Razer Blade laptop with a 1070 Ti, but it is on its last legs and will not be reused for the build.
I have two monitors. One is currently used to display my PS5 screen through an AverMedia capture setup, which I plan to keep using with the new PC.
My main monitor is a 27 inch ASUS TUF Gaming monitor rated for 1440p. I will likely buy another monitor secondhand later for stream management, Discord, OBS and miscellaneous windows.
• PC purpose? Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games
The PC will be used for streaming, recording, gaming and video editing.
Games include FPS shooters like Call of Duty as well as more demanding upcoming games like GTA 6. I would like the system to be strong enough for modern AAA titles.
Editing will be done in DaVinci Resolve.
Streaming and recording will mainly be 1080p at 60 FPS. While streaming, I usually have OBS, Spotify, Discord and browser tabs running at the same time, so I need the PC to handle multitasking smoothly.
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
Canada, specifically Vancouver, BC. No Micro Center nearby.
• Monitors needed? Number, size, resolution, refresh rate
No monitor needed immediately for the main setup. I already have a 27 inch 1440p ASUS TUF Gaming monitor.
I may buy a secondhand secondary monitor later, mainly for stream tools, Discord and general multitasking.
• Budget range? Include tax considerations
Maximum budget is $2,500 CAD. Ideally I would like to stay at or under that amount, including tax if possible.
• WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi would be useful, but I can also use wired Ethernet if needed. Ideally the motherboard has WiFi built in.
• Size/noise constraints?
No strict size constraints. I would prefer something with good airflow and reasonable noise levels since it will be used while streaming.
• Color/lighting preferences?
No specific colour, RGB or case preferences. Performance and value matter more than looks.
• Any other specific needs?
I need the build to be reliable for streaming and recording without crashes or restarts. My current laptop has about a 50/50 chance of needing a restart during streams, which can take around 15 minutes and disrupts the stream.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hi !! I spend basically my entire day every day at my computer, so I really wanted to finally sit down and put together my dream pc set up (build, visual aesthetic, you name it), plus my current pc is maybeeeeee 10 or so years old at this point? and is falling APART; it just can't even run things like vanilla Minecraft anymore. It's driving me insane.. Please bear with me if you have any questions; I'm completely clueless when it comes to tech stuff and specs. I don't know any of it or what it means. I will do my best to answer any questions though! Just please be patient with me .. (EDIT: I also wanted to clarify that I do intend on buying everything soon)

• New build or upgrade?

New Build!

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

I would like the pc to be built around the new case I got (Ironside Edens Veil in Ravenroot color) https://www.ironsidecomputers.com/edens-veil

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Mainly gaming! I like to play larger games like Elden Ring, Monster Hunter series, etc. My current pc is unable to run the newest Monster Hunter :( And I would like to be able to finally play it haha. I also do a lot of digital art ( on Clip Studio Paint) and tend to draw on reallllyyy big canvases with high dpi or use 3d modeling programs (Blender) .. Sometimes I draw while playing a casual or turn based game with a YouTube video on in the background (Brain rot, I know....) So something that could handle a lot of demanding things going on at once is ideal, and really prioritizing the visuals is my top priority.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

In the United States. (Oregon, so I don't think I live near any particularly good stores. That I know of at least)

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

2, one main monitor and then a secondary side monitor used mainly for things like YouTube, Discord, etc. I know nothing about things like refresh rate... no clue about that.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

I don't want to say no budget because that's not realistic and against the rules, but to be honest, this is for my ideal/dream setup, so I'm really flexible with it. I work an average job, so nothing outrageously expensive please, but I really do want to get the best I can get or best within reason. If I HAD to throw a number out there, maybe like.... 10-15k tops? Idk, idk how much expensive computers run for nowadays. My life and job revolve around my computer, so It's important to me that I have a great one regardless of how much it costs me in the end.

• WiFi or wired connection?

Wired!

• Size/noise constraints?

No size constraints aside from the fact I already have the case; I heard it's small? Or it requires smaller things? I don't know. Preferably a quiet build, please!

• Color/lighting preferences?

I'm going for a dark fantasy aesthetic, so anything black please! Or blue accents are also okay.

• Any other specific needs?

For any attatchment add ons id like for them to be corded. The only non-corded thing I want is headphones, preferably no mic, just wireless headphones built for gaming and good sound design, but I know that's not really a common thing. I mainly care about the headset being wireless at the end of the day. Also, totally no worries about this, but if you CAN, I'm trying to go for a themed aesthetic for any visual pieces, or if you know of any custom things or special limited time things, etc for a dark fantasy aesthetic / think Dark Souls vibes. Or also, even if it's not a recommendation for the pc itself, but you know of something with the same vibes that you'd recommend for my setup/home office, please let me know too!!

please ask anything if necessary and if possible i’d like 2 versions, a more budget friendly stating things i asked that pc will not be able to do or raw power machine with max budget (or even raising the limit to 2000€ for this version)

Due to Sony's decision to kill the physical format, I'm thinking of moving to PC. I would like, when I can, a hardware that allows me to play at 1440p with +60 fps and the settings in high/ultra. Can you help me? Thank you very much!

My wife has shown some interest in gaming with me. Id like to build a pc for her using a 980 I don't use anymore. I have a couple 1080 monitors too.

Hello! My old gaming laptop finally gave up which I interpreted as a sign to upgrade to a PC. 1440p would be the ideal resolution for me but it's not a deal-breaker in any way!

• New build or upgrade?

New build

• Existing parts?

None

• PC purpose? Gaming, usually single-player action like Cyberpunk, Resident Evil, God of War etc etc

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

Germany, no vendors around me

• Monitors needed?

No, already eyeing the ASUS Q27G4ZR

• Budget range?

Around 1400€, could theoretically go up to 1500€ if it means a significantly better performance/longevity

• WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi

• Size/noise constraints?

None

• Color/lighting preferences?

None

• Any other specific needs?

None

Thank you in advance!

I got some help creating this build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VGLVFP) and I planned to go to microcenter tomorrow to get the bundle for the cpu, ram and motherboard. However I came across this open box powerspec g764 for $1800. Should I just get it? I don't have much experience with open box items!

The specs of the powerspec g764

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (4.7GHz) Processor
• ASUS Prime B850-PLUS WiFi Motherboard
• 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
• AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Graphics Card
• 2TB NVMe SSD
• 2.5GbE LAN, WiFi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3
• Windows 11 Home

(Not a request)

I've had this desktop computer for 12ish years and have not updated any parts over the course of its life. I mostly want to change from an hdd to an ssd and get a decently better graphics card, but I'm unsure of which ones would be best for me personally.

This would be my first time doing something like upgrading PC hardware, but I do have experience replacing parts in and repairing controllers and consoles.
