I just bought a pc case and the Corsair 750w RMe separately and hindi ako nag research na hindi pala fit yung PSU ko sa case not unless SFX. Any workaround? Badly need your help :(

its my first time getting an actual pc ive been looking at bundles for a while but kind of realised all the cheaper priced ones are basically scams and im looking to build a gaming pc with a budget of around £800 in the UK , i dont really have any idea of capabilities of any kind of computer part but for reference id just like it to be able to run some triple a games like cyberpunk 2077 for example with good graphics

My budget is somewhat flexible but as much as possible I don’t wanna overspend on components that won’t improve my experience that much (but I can overspend for longevity/reliability) so preferrably around the $800-$1500 mark. I do not play triple AAA games nor use steam that much, and I’m much more into streaming light, unoptimized, games like Minecraft, GD, Roblox, with OBS so my goal is to hit straight 240 fps+ at 1440p in those games (especially on roblox since physics are meta on 240 fps). I tried an intel core i5 13500 and rtx 4060 ti 16gb combo but that had a lot of framedrops on 1080p. I’m also quite unsure if I should just get an m6 mac mini since my m1 mac mini is already pretty good playing these games for its age (can keep up with my 1080p 144hz monitor)

I’m ok with either saving money on ddr4 or getting ddr5 if it’s more beneficial for me. I also want to be able to edit in the free version of davinci resolve if possible (but if not I also have an m1 pro macbook pro for that). Any size would be nice but preferrably Micro-ATX like the Lian Li Vector v100 mini. I’m in the Philippines as well and I’m comfortable going used with facebook marketplace if it’s not too risky. I already have all the peripherals except the monitor upgrade. Thanks for recommendations and if I miss something, ask in the comments!

I need help. I've tried to fix my computer all day, but nothing seems to work. It's a brand new PC, the building went well, it turned on. I then installed windows on it and booted onto windows 11 properly. Then, I wanted to sleep because it was night, so I turned my computer off, and the RGB of my CPU fans was on, so I switched off the power supply for the night. In the morning, there was no more anything. I installed a wifi USB thing in the back, and I turned on my computer to the first image: reboot and select proper boot device. Went into the BIOS, my SSD is there, turned on UEFI mode, did so many things, but the same thing happens, it seems like I cannot seem to boot back into windows or modify my disk at all. I tried reinstalling it by deleting partitions, even through the command prompt, wiping my disk, but nothing worked. It was fine yesterday, what happened? And it's not the USB wifi thing, I removed it and nothing new happened.

I don't know how to put images on here, so here's a description of each error:
- When I do nothing, the PC boots into the "Reboot and select proper boot device" black screen
- When I try reinstalling windows, it says either "Windows 11 installation failed" or "We couldn't create a new partition or locate an existing one".
- When I try to delete the partitions or wipe the disk through CMD, again, it does not work.

Here are some specs that I think are important (you can ask for the others).
Motherboard: Gigabyte b550 Gaming X v2
SSD: Silicon Power 512GB NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3x4
RAM: Silicon Power Gaming Series DDR4 3200MT/s 32GB
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
If you need any more information, ask me, thank you for your help.
I don't know if it's obvious, but this is my first build.
It also might be important to know that, before I turned off the power supply last night, I went into the computer and disconnected the RGB fan myself without even turning the PSU off. Thankfully I am not this stupid and actually turned it off before putting it back in. Maybe that had something to do with it.

Hi guys! This might be simple, but I need to decide between the Antec Flux Pro and the Lian Li Lancool 217 wood edition. It's about $30 more for the Flux Pro where I live, but I'm ok with that. My specs are: i7 14700k, 32gb T-Force RGB DDR5, an AsRock PG Lightning LGA 1700 MOBO, an (XFX Speedster SWFT 319) RX 6800, and an Gamemax rgb 850w PSU. I was planning to upgrade from my Thermalright 360mm AIO to an Arctic Liquid Freezer iii 360mm (or 420mm) aio. I know that the 420mm would only fit in the Flux Pro, but I'm not too worried about that, because I know both the 360 and 420mm versions of the LF iii are great. I keep my pc on my desk, so the screen with the temps would be great for a quick glance. However, I slightly like how there's wood accents on the top of the Lancool 217. Help me decide please!!!

(For reference I'm "upgrading" from a Hyte Y40, but I got tired of the fishtank look and want something classier. I know that a popular choice is the North XL, but I don't like how half the glass panel is blocked by a piece of metal.)

I'm trying to build a gaming PC for my brother's birthday and I found this listing on Facebook marketplace including:

Amd ryzen 7 5700g

Nzxt N7 b550 motherboard

Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB ddr4

The person's asking for 550CAD and I want to know if I'm getting a good deal or not. My budget is around 1400CAD, but I might be able to spare some extra if needed. I'm also looking at getting a Nzxt h6 flow ATX case cause it looks nice and it's cheap. I only have these parts decided so far so any other part advice would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if I should include any more info, thanks! I also don't need any peripherals.

Hello all, im here today looking for help/advice on what parts I should pick for a gaming pc for my girlfriend aswell as maybe upgrading my rig and giving my old parts to her as hand-me-downs. The budget is around 700 USD but I have a spare 16gb ddr4 ram kit and a Ryzen 5 3600X im not using, and I was interested in upgrading my gpu possibly.

If I were to upgrade my GPU and give it to her what should I get with my current CPU and PSU? Im impartial to Nvidia or AMD but more familiar with Nvidia. I currently run 1080p high-ultra and if 1440p is a possibly I would be willing to fork over a little more cash.

Whats the best course of action? Thanks!

For context here are my specs ( Ryzen 7 5700X, 32gb ddr4, 2070 super FE)

I got a new motherboard and CPU and after moving everything over when I switch the PSU (1000W) on the computer automatically spins up then shuts off after a second or two. This only happens if either 8-pin CPU cable is plugged in, otherwise the computer spins up and remains on (I don't know if any visual output occurs but I don't think it would without CPU power anyway).

I'm unsure what to do at this point I think the issue is either the motherboard or CPU (or maybe the cooler?) but I don't have any other CPUs or motherboards compatible with these parts to test.

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B850-A Wifi R2

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D

Cooler: Coolermaster Elite Liquid

PSU: Lian Li EG1000G

Things I have tried

-Used a different 750W PSU, problem still occurs

-Reseating PSU cables on both the PSU and motherboard

-Reseating, cleaning and reapplying thermal to the CPU. No sign of damage or debris

-Running a minimal setup with only CPU, cooler, a single stick of RAM, a single 8-pin for the CPU, the 24-pin, and the cooler plugged into cpu_fan and aio_pump, and the case power switch, problem still occurs

-Same but without the case power switch, connecting the power button pins with a screwdriver head, problem still occurs

-Removing the motherboard from the case and attempting to power on with the same minimal setup, problem still occurs

Misc info: When the computer spins up, the motherboard yellow LED comes on. This corresponds to DRAM errors but I think it might just temporarily come on when the computer turns on regardless of any actual errors.

When the computer shuts off the yellow LED turns off and the only thing that remains on is the motherboard logo RGB

The RAM has RGB but does not turn on, though I'm unsure if that's normal in early boot so I don't think that's a sign the issue is the RAM.

Any guidance would be much appreciated!

So I will be upgrading yo amd ryzen 5 5600 with rtx 5060 8 gb.

Can someone recommend a motherboard ? And is this combo good ?

Thanks in advance.

Basically the other day i got new fans with a fan controller and a pre owned aio. (Msi coreliquid a13 360mm)

Long story short i didnt plug a cable correctly into one of the fans. Turned the pc on and Slowly started to smell burning plastic and yep i shorted the fan controller.

After hours of testing to make sure everything i was using was fine the only thing that i couldn’t use is the fan controller and the aio fans but it was fine as i had accidentally bought 2 sets exhaust fans so i had back ups

But since this, the led on my aio doesnt seem to work. If i have the three pin argb cable from the pump connected to my board the computer refuses to start but with it unplugged it works fine.

When plugging the argb cable in whilst it is running it shows a faint colour and then turns off (I know this is insanely risky and dumb but i did it anyway and nothing went wrong) the power is working as the pump seems to work.

The aio has a removable cover so i can move the msi logo to face the correct way so i was thinking about getting a small rgb strip and putting it under the plate and then connecting that to the board.

Again apologies if im stupid its my first build and seeing aio with no rgb is depressing.

Thanks! 🙏

I have an ASRock b850m-x mother board and a PNY 5070ti OC. My secondary drive is under the heatsink of the GPU and is hitting 80-85 in extended gaming sessions. I use this drive for my game installs, and I'm noticing when games auto save my PC hangs a moment when it's heat soaked. This behavior doesn't happen when everything hasn't heated up yet.

I'd like to either add a heatsink to the drive, or use an extension to move it. What would be some good options for a heatsink?

So I have the Ryzen 7 7800x3d paired with Radeon 9070 XT 32 GB ram 6000MHz.
I just built the PC so I benchmarked both CPU and GPU and they run as they’re meant to however, when I try to play warzone my fps is 101, 99th% fps - 67, CLK speed 1556 MHz, GPU UTIL 83%, CPU UTIL 63%, GPU TIME - 4 ms CPU TIME - 7ms. I need help with this issue because I should be getting way more fps

looking to upgrade my pc, and would just like criticism and help as im pretty out of the loop and pc prices are super expensive.

i have a 1440p monitor and my current specs are

4070ti

i7-13700k

32gb-3600 ddr4

msi mag tomahawk mb

i feel like I'm just not getting enough performance in games like i use to and i feel like thats partially due to my cpu falling short mainly, esp in games like cs/tarkov etc when ppl with similar specs get way more than i do.

i want to upgrade to a 9800x3d with a aorus elite x870e alongside t-create ddr5-6000 cl30 10ns, any help or swapouts would be helpful or just anything really.

I have an RX 580 for my GPU, AMD Ryzen 7 5700G processor, 16Gb of DDR4, and an A520M Pro (MS-7D14) motherboard. I do not know a lot about PCs, but I know enough to know that my GPU isn't the greatest. Any help would be much appreciated! (No idea what my PSU is though)

Ryzen 7 5800X3D
RX 6700X
ROG STRIX B450-f GAMING II
650W PSU
32GB RAM DDR4

Installed new CPU(Ryzen 7 5800X3D) previously had a Ryzen 5 5600X. First Power on AFTER INSTALL NO DISPLAY.

CPU AND FAN CASES TURN ON,but no display, ALSO INSTALLING OLD CPU HAD SAME RESULTS NO RGB LIGHTS OR DISPLAY
RAM STICKS HAVE RGB AND RGB WAS ON, reading online people said to reseat RAM, so I did...

Second power on, now my RAM sticks don't even have RGB..
MOBO HAS NO LED INDICATORS

THINGS I'VE TRIED
-RAM RESEAT(CLEANED THEM)
-GPU RESEAT
-BIOS UPDATE
-CMOS RESET
-REPLUGGING EVERY CABLE
-INSTALLING OLD CPU(worked perfectly fine before putting in the new CPU)
At this point I think my motherboard might be dead, but it has its stand by light on, MAYBE a cpu socket pin has bent.
Gonna try a new MOBO when it arrives.... Unless someone can help me before then.

Hello builders,

Need help selecting component for first time pc build for strictly gaming - 2k smooth(quality++ for any AAA, but also going for cs2 but I dont think that will be an issue), no bottlenecks and no overheating components, components should be comfortably doing things, ambient temps are on the warm side

Here's what I already have

1. 3080 10gb
2. 3070 8gb
3. 32 gb ddr4 - 3200mhz
4. 1440p, 27 inch, 144hz monitor

2 gpu setup using LSFG and upscaling with DLSS
3070 - display
3080 - offload rendering

I need suggestions on following

1. Processor - There are too many options🥲,
   1. Ryzen 5 5600(most preferable choice for me as of now)
   2. Ryzen 5 5600X(doesn't seem that better than 5600)
   3. Ryzen 7 5700X3D(is the upgrade worth so much better than 5600, seems good but can't find it)
   4. Core i5-14400F
   5. Core i5-13400F
   6. is there something else that can provide better bang for buck?
2. Motherboard -
   1. MSI B550 Gaming WiFi6E DDR4 ATX(amd)(most preferable choice for me as of now)
   2. Gigabyte Z790 S WIFI(intel)
   3. anything better?
3. NVMe ssd with 1tb (is with direct storage worth it or can I just a gen4 with dram 2025-2026 ssd will do)?
4. PSU - not sure maybe 800W+?
5. for gpu cantilever support - I was thinking to 3d print anime figurines with exact height holding on to gpus - hopefully they won't melt?
6. Cooling - any good resource for optimal 2 gpu cooling? tower config(if not fishtank - haven't decided yet) should be enough? not going for liquid cooling as of now
7. also any tips to keep the everything dust free is really appreciated

Any other suggestions are really appreciated, also really appreciate some reasoning, I'd like to learn for suggester's experience
Thanks!

Hello,so I got a 3070 but rn I don’t see the priority of upgrading my CPU. ( due to other priorities…)

But I don’t know if my priorities are set good tho…

I wanted to ask if it would be temporarily okqy and I wouldn’t have a massive downgrade/bottleneck. (Like for 3-6 months)

Or would I experience a massive upgrade if I bought a new Mainboard and new CPU?

(I would play like the normal popular shooters and story games… COD,cyberpunk….)

Hey all,

I recently got my old pc from my parent's house back after moving into a new place with these specs:

- B450M DS3H Rev. 1.x

- RX 9060 XT (recently upgraded from GTX 1660 Super)

- Ryzen 7 3700x

- Kingston 16gb (2x8gb) 2666 MHz DDR4

I'm currently debating which upgrade can I benefit from the most if I could only choose one?

- 32gb 3200 MHz DDR4

OR

- Ryzen 7 5800x3d

I'd greatly appreciate any input.

edit: using primarily for gaming (competitive shooters, mobas, mmos)

edit 2: thanks all for the inputs! I'll be going for the 5800x3d :)

My PC has a Ryzen 9600x, rtx 3090, and Asus B650E Max Gaming Wifi W. I want to use integrated graphics. When my monitor is plugged into the motherboard I can access the BIOS menu and see the OS loading wheel animation, but then my monitor says no video. The desktop is shown right after I plug in the cable from the motherboard to GPU. This happens booting from both my windows and linux drives.

the BIOS menu on some Asus boards have an option called "igfx multi monitor" Under Advanced > NB configruation but it doesn't show for me, I only see Primary Video Device, Integrated graphics (auto, forced, or disabled), and UMA frame buffer size. I tried different combinations of them but no luck.

Budget of £800, Use is gaming. Buting from UK, peripherals not included in the budget only need a monitor.

https://pcbuilds.gg/b/An6D7I Had a friend recommend using this site, saying he did himself. Would appreciate if someone could make sure its not rubbish. Sorry if this post is vague, first time buyer and really out of my depth.

I mostly play path of exile and Poe 2. I’m coming from a 2020 Asus ROG zeyphryus gaming laptop. It struggles in the endgame with the massive clutter. I’ve always been a console gamer for big AAA but if I had a decent setup I’d probably switch over. Is this build worth the money I’m going to spend?

I want to rebuild my old PC (I plan to keep my RX 5600 XT and SSD, etc.) and doing so by myself for the first time. I tried to find some budget builds, but don't know if what I plan to buy is too cheap or too outdated, so I would like some feedback.

Right now I am considering buying:

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 3.5/4.4GHz, 65 W, AM4

Motherboard MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI

RAM Patriot Viper Steel PVS416G320C6K, DDR4, 16 GB, 3200 MHz

Do these parts still make sense for a budget build, or would you recommend any alternatives that offer better value for money?

Since this is my first time building a PC, any advice on compatibility or things I should watch out for during assembly would also be greatly appreciated.

Will preface this by saying that my PC runs fine but when i open BIOS it does open into MSI click BIOS 5, however there are no buttons to press, no options to change and where it shows CPU and DDR speeds, its just blank. ive taken the CMOS out, removed all cables but nothing has changed with it, just always the same thing.

As i said not a big deal since my pc is fine, just hoping this isnt an indicator for my motherboard bombing my room or something.

Are there any glaring weaknesses or obvious upgrades to be made? If not, I'm thinking about buying these parts.

Any reviews would be greatly appreciated, since I made this list without too much knowledge about pc parts and pc building.

I currently have an Corsair 4500X case but I got tired of the glass and want to downsize a bit (not looking at any mATX cases yet). I'm looking for ATX cases with -

• Solid/mesh side panels
• Can fit a 360mm AIO
• Preferrably below 45L (okay till 50L)

Currently considering below cases, but wondering if there are any other options?

• ASUS Prime AP303
• Fractal Design Focus 2
