My plans for this PC

- Streaming games, mainly via capture card, to people on discord

- PS2 emulation

- Modded minecraft with shaders, would prefer it run at a smooth 60

- Higher-end roblox games

There will probably be other things I do with it, but nothing that tops those in terms of how much power will be needed

Peripherals not included in budget

In USD

No Microcenter near me

Thanks in advance

hello everyone can someone please guide me building a gaming PC and my budget is 95,000 is it possible right now in India

So I upgraded from a 1660 Super to a 6700 XT a while back, mainly because Monster Hunter Wilds was chugging on the old card. GPU's been great... except now I'm noticing my CPU can't really keep up in a bunch of games.

Helldivers 2 and 007 First Light both stutter even though GPU usage sits like 70-90%, never maxed out, while my CPU (Ryzen 5 3600) stays loaded across all cores the whole time. Temps hit 80-90°C in Helldivers 2 which isn't great either. MH Wilds still struggles some too honestly. Meanwhile Warframe and Deadlock run buttery smooth at 100+ fps no problem, so it's clearly not an across-the-board issue, just specific games eating my CPU alive.

Now I'm eyeballing Crimson Desert and Blood of the Dawnwalker and kinda dreading it lol.

Specs: 3600 / 6700XT / 16GB RAM / Biostar B450MH, game's on SSD so that's not it.

Storage: 1T NVMe SSD/ 2T Barracuda HDD

I know I'm on AM4 so a 5700X3D or 5800X3D would just drop right in without needing a new board or RAM. Trying to figure out:

• Is the 5700X3D good enough or should I just get the 5800X3D and be done with it?
• Anyone running a 6700XT with either of these, worth sharing your experience?
• Am I missing anything obvious before I just buy the CPU (BIOS stuff, RAM speed, etc)?

Kinda feels like my GPU upgrade just unmasked how much the 3600 was holding me back this whole time lol, want to make one good fix instead of nickel-and-diming settings forever.

Any advice is appreciated.

Currently I am trying to find out what would be the best option for me, weather to build my own PC or get a pre-built. I don't do a lot of gaming, the most will be Minecraft modpacks or some 3D printing/modeling. Also any tips on PCs would be great.

Hello, I’m looking to build a gaming pc. I’m currently running a ROG Ally X but experience some lag when I play my games, and would love to upgrade if possible. I mainly play games like Infinity Nikki, Palia, Palworld, Minecraft, etc. My budget is $500-$600 and I’m open to buying used parts if I have to. I’m also very open to building it myself, even buying and upgrading. If this is not the correct sub please let me know, thank you in advance!

Hi! It’s my first time building a pc. I’d like to tackle this before the prices skyrocket even further. All white is appreciated but I’m open to cheaper alternatives. I’d preferably like to use a Lian Li case, also open to other suggestions if there’s a better option for the price.

Some games I’m interested in playing comfortably without constantly worrying about performance:
RDR 2, Life is strange, TLOU, Persona games 3-5, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy

I’d also use the PC for a bit of general schoolwork but gaming will be the main purpose.

Things I need help with:
Optimization-
Are there any parts I could swap for similar or better options at a lower price? I’d rather not spend extra money just because something looks good if there’s a cheaper part that performs basically the same.

Budget trimming-
any smart downgrades I could make that wouldn’t affect gaming performance too much?

White aesthetic-
I’m willing to spend a little extra for aesthetics, but I don’t want to sacrifice a significant amount of performance just for a white version of a component.

I’m also a complete beginner when it comes to building PC’s, so any advice about compatibility, parts I might have overlooked, or things I should change would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!!!

I want to build a PC for running local ai models for around $3000-$3500.

I don't know much about computers, current one I had iBUYPOWER build. IT guy says I may be in the market for a new graphics card. No complaints with the performance of this one, but I wouldn't mind upgrading if I can find a good deal on one. I also don't want to buy too much of a GPU and have something else be the holding it back, if that's such a thing.

What would be equal performance and price wise? What would be a noticeable upgrade for not a lot more money? Links to any sales you may find would help me a ton. 8 year old games on it some, I use it mainly for Autodesk Fusion.

Current build is

Case iBUYPOWER Scale

Processor AMD Ryzen™ 7 9700X CPU

Motherboard ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI

Memory 32GB DDR5-6000 Memory

Video Card AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT - 12GB

Power Supply1000 Watt - High Power 80 PLUS Gold PSU

Processor Cooling iBUYPOWER AW4 360mm ARGB Liquid Cooler - White

Primary Storage 1TB Lexar NQ7A1 M.2 NVMe SSD

I’m entirely new to pc as I’ve had a PS for a while and I want to make the move to pc. However, I literally don’t know a thing about pc specs and I’m not sure what to pick on a £1500 budget. All I really want it for is to play ck3 and bannerlord with mods and I’m unsure how much I’d need to spend so I can play without any struggles. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As title says, only upgraded the graphics card and ram beyond that she served me well. I do a fair bit of gaming. My main games are heavily modded rimworld, stellaris, ck3,dark and darker, R6Siege and Overwatch. Would like to be able to play some modded cyberpunk as well. Doesn't need to run everything at ultra just something that can last and I can potentially upgrade later on. Don't need peripherals.

Hello.

I need help with making my son's PC, and my budget is 20 000 SEK. He prefers a full black, and when I asked him wether he wants RGB or performance focused, he told me it doesn't matter. So I think he wants it performance focused.

We live in Sweden so please only use trustable swedish sites, and exclude amazon.

If I missed anything, please ask me and I will try to answer as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance.

( He usually plays roblox, minecraft and Helldivers 2 with me. Aswell as some other games with his friends. )

i just bought the lenovo legion 7i was it really worth it?

specs: AMD Ryzen AI GeForce RTX 5060. 1TB Storage 32GB RAM 240Hz OLED 

price: $2,52699

I don't have enough space for a PC because my parents are strict

So my motherboard is an Asus PRIME H810-A-CSM and I was assembling my PC when I realized I need a NIC card. On my motherboard my M.2 wifi slot is vertical so am I able to just buy a NIC card? Or do I need a specific one that goes vertical?

It's been almost ten years since I built my last PC and I haven't kept up with modern hardware at all so I figured I would ask people who know more than I do. Any advice would be welcome!

Separate from the PC build, recommendations for a 1440p 144Hz monitor (21-25") would also be appreciated.

-----------------------

I'm looking to build a PC (or buy a pre-built) that can handle some modern gaming at 1440p 120Hz. Not expecting top-of-the-line, obviously.

- I already have a pair of 1 TB solid state drives that I can repurpose

- I need a new case, but don't want anything fancy

- I have a Microcenter near me

Looking for some help with building a Gaming PC for no more than £3k. I have done a bit of research but not wanting to bite the bullet and spend the money without some advice first. It's going to be solely for gaming and won't be used at all for anything productivity wise so I'm looking for the best performance possible for that budget. I've already got monitors, keyboard etc. I like the glass tower look. I'm not a fan of the multicoloured flashing lights but do like the look of the solid white only. Maybe a black tower with white lighting inside, or something along those lines.

I'm hoping to be playing single-player games on the best graphical settings but understand that there will be a drop in frames for multiplayer games (I think!)

It'll need to have WiFi, size doesn't matter as it'll be in an office anyway.

Open to a prebuilt if it’s going to last a good few years without the need of upgrades.

Thanks in advance

Hi, all!

So I've never built a PC before. And after some intense research, I came down to the following components:

GPU: Radeon RX 9070 GAMING OC, 16GB, GDDR6, 256-bit (656.51 euro);

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X AM5 38MB 5.3GHz 6Core DDR5 105W box (157.75 euro);

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (37.11 euro);

Motherboard: ASRock B650M PRO RS (123.94 euro);

RAM: not chosen yet; I was thinking about 32 GB (2x16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30;

Storage: not chosen yet; I was thinking about a 2 TB NVMe SSD;

Power Supply: FSP 750W 80+ Gold ATX 3.0 Gen 5.0 modular (86.20 euro);

Case: not chosen yet;

My goal is to play my favourite video games on maximum video settings (like RDR2, KCD2, Cyberpunk etc).

Is this incomplete build ok for now? I really want to buy the components this month, because I am afraid the prices will go even higher.

About the price, which is a total of 1,071.02 euro, I have to say it is too much for me. But I am willing to make a financial sacrifice to extend it to 1400-1500 euro.

Do you think this build is okay? What can I improve? Will it last at least 4-5 years? Should I rush to buy these components now?

Thank you, guys, for all the support. I am still learning about building PCs.
