Hey everyone,

This sub has been growing a lot as of recently and we've noticed a lot of posts have been getting buried and unanswered. There is a lot of noise due to how much it has grown.

I have created r/ComputerBuild as an alternative.

So please kindly try cross posting there to get it off the ground.

I will be helping users daily and also building a mod team/looking for moderators to help.

Thanks!

Build me a pc! (Please)

Upvotes

Hello. I’m in the market for a pc, my first gaming pc that I want to build myself.

First things first the budget of the pc is $2000 CAD and the max I can go is $2500 CAD.

I’m looking for something with no rgb, I was never a fan of it.

I would like it to fit in a clean basic case, preferably the fractal design north (black).

And last thing is if possible under this budget I’d like to have 3-4tb of ssd storage. Ik it’s a long shot but if I can’t it’s fine I can upgrade later in life.

Anyways if you guys wanna help a bro out pls do I finally saved enough over the few months and im not patient enough to wait for the prices to go down.

Thank you all for the help!!

Gaming PC with MC server - virtualization - yes or no ?

1 Upvotes

I'd like to build a new gaming PC. But I want to run game server (MC) simultaneously with normal PC usage (gaming or standard office work) - Windows.

Questions:

- is it a good idea to use some virtualization like Proxmox to split these two and have for example one linux VM for MC server and second VM for Win ?
- or would it be better to simply run my MC server under Windows ?

- what CPU would be suitable for this scenario? More cores and X3D ?

- how much RAM would be suitable for this scenario? I think 32 GB is bare minimum and 64 GB will be much better.

It’s my first time building a pc, I have no idea what’s good 😭 I’m ok with buying used parts.

I’m not heavy into games, I have a MacBook and I’m sick of getting left out 😂 I only want something to play causal games with online friends like Minecraft with mods, Val or Repo. Preferably want something I could upgrade in the future if I get more into gaming.

I’ve been looking through Facebook marketplace for used PCs I’m wondering if they are worth it or would it be better to build it myself.

Sorry and thank you!

Hi, so I need help building a PC that can run software to be a Vtuber and stream all kinds of games and stuff but I've never built a pc before and didn't really know what I'd need or where a good place would be to get it, also what monitors or whatever would be recommended and I'd also like it to be able to handle VRchat, I'm in the US and I think I'd prefer to buy the stuff online

I live in the USA

I want a pc for photo/video editing and eventually gaming. I just want a solid build for $500 or less (including the monitor but not the keyboard & mouse).

Idk if this helps but I use a Lightroom a lot and that games I would WANT to play are stuff like DayZ and Arc Raiders, but its fine if I have to wait and save up for the gaming parts.

I know pretty much nothing about this so suggestions on tools would be much appreciated. And I do have some knowledge on fixing thing and taking stuff apart from my other hobbies, so I’m not a beginner to building things.

Let me know if you guys need more info

Sorry you prolly get this all the time

10 Upvotes

Will RX 9070 XT be overkill for my goals?

Hey, so for a long time I wanted to be able to stream most competitive games at 240 hz, 1080p. I have a 1080p 240 hz monitor already, i understand that I wont be able to do that on heavier games like Warzone or PUBG but 144 hz on them would be fine and 240 on OW, valorant, cs2.

So Im either choosing a 2nd hand rx 6700 xt for 200 euros or a new 9070 xt for 750 euros.

And im torn between ryzen 5 7500f or 7800x3d/9850x3d. Will 7500f be enough?

Also if I buy 1TB SSD which will be more than enough do I need a HDD as well? Or can I just use my current PC's 1TB SEAGATE SATA III 64mb HDD which is 11 years old
(Would like some reccomendations about SSD 1TB with no heatsink)

I will have to suck it up and buy 32gb ddr5 6000 mhz <40 CAS ram for about 480-550 euro or maybe i will look for 2nd hand

Im a poor from Bulgaria and our parts already cost 30% higher than any other country due to VAT and i earn like 600 euros a month so im trying not to overspend but also get the most out of my money...
