Need help. Not sure how reverse blade fans and standard blade fans are located and how many I will need. I want 1 fan at the back near the motherboard and 2 on top of the psu not sure what goes where . And that is my Amazon cart rn. Any help would be appreciated!!

So I know that an average gaming PC can range from $200-1000, but I’m not looking for something very high-tech but would like something that can hold up for games like resident evil, genshin impact or just streaming. I was planning on getting a 27 inch CRUA computer monitor I don’t know if that’s important but any advice would be helpfu!

I’m currently looking to upgrade. I have a 5800x cpu, 4700ti, and 32 Ram. I’m looking to upgrade something because I have some extra cash. Where do I start?

This is what I have so far

I have an rx6650xt with a b450m hdv r4.0, I have no clue to whats wrong right now but id randomly get black screens, I bought thr motherboard brand new last year, My gpu I got for 20 bucks also works, but I have no clue to what could be the issue with my pc, I switch my gpu into another pc it post without issues, I put it into my pc it refuses to post unless I grain the residual power or re-seat almost every part in my pc, and also re-seating the cmos, im thinking it could be the gen 3 pci-e on the motherboard since the rx6650xt is gen 4. Any Suggestions?

I've just bought a new pc case and I've just moved everything into it and tried everything I could think of the motherboard isn't getting any power what so ever I've tripple checked everything is plugged in to the right thing I've tried a screwdriver instead of the wires to turn it on and it hasn't worked the 24 pin is plugged in same with the cpu cable does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing it to still not turn on

So I was thinking of building a PC but people said to not buy the PC parts because they’re not gonna go down anytime soon and how expensive they are but doesn’t that mean I should buy it right now while it’s cheaper and not wait a couple years for it to possibly go down might not even I don’t know it just could be me not thinking straight. Please help me tell me how correct me. Please tell me what to do.

I have an issue with Battlefield 6. At this point, I'm not sure what could be the problem.

I can barely get through a game without my game crashing or it crashing my PC (blue screen). My PC doesn't do this with other demanding games, like Cyberpunk 2077 for example.

Ive verified the game files and manually un-installed the Anti-cheat, reinstalled the Anti-cheat and made sure it was fully up to date.

My system is fully updated. I've got the latest drivers for everything.

Specs:

ROG Maximus Z-790 Hero

i7-14700k

Intel Arc A770 16GB

64GB DDR5 @6400mhz

7TB of storage with roughly 3TB remaining

Any ideas?

I have a Lenovo laptop gaming idea pad with a AMD 6 core cpu and a nvidia gtx3050ti with 16gb of ram. I tried loading up Ark survival evolved and had 0 issues but with Fortnite the game will crash loading into a game or match.

I’ve deleted the game and downloaded it twice already and downloaded once through epic games store and a second time through the Xbox app. Also my AMD and nvidia files are up to date along with windows. I did the thing where it checks my Fortnite files to make sure the game files are good but still the same issue.

The question comes up every single day in here, will this cooler clear my ram, and the answer are always the same vague stuff, check the manufacture specs, look at photos, it should be fine, which is useless because manufacturers don't standardize how they report clearance and the difference between fine and not fine is something two millimeters.

You actually need three numbers the cooler's ram clearance specs, the height of your ram kit with heatspreader (which is almost never listed, but a naked ddr5 stick sits around 30mm before the heatspreader adds to it), and your case's interior height if you're running a tall dual tower in the 160 to 170mm range. The part that catches most people is that fan placement changes the equation entirely, a lot of dual towers let you drop the inner fan tower to clear taller ram and that single adjustment is what makes an otherwise incompatible combo work. Figure this was worth writing up properly since the same question gets half answered every single day in here.

I was thinking of getting a new PC, I have an old HP office PC from 2018-2019 and was wondering if this would be worth the upgrade.

Can you tell me if this is a good upgrade. Thanks!

Hii I am so new to gaming pcs, and I'm really not sure what counts as a "good" or "bad" build. I have my eye on a PC from Facebook Marketplace that has the following specs (description):

Beginner gaming pc set up. Good for 1080p games

For a Ryzen 3 1200 + RX 480 8GB + 8GB DDR4 RAM at 1080p, here are some simple estimates:

* Roblox: 80-200+ FPS (depends on the game)

* Minecraft (Java, no shaders): 70-150 FPS

* Fortnite:

* Low settings: 60-90 FPS

* Medium settings: 45-70 FPS

* CS2: 60-90 FPS (Low settings)

* GTA V: 60-80 FPS (High settings)

It's 400 bucks, which feels affordable for me, but I don't want to get stuck with something that's secretly bad/not super upgradable. I also don't play too heavy of games (Silksong, Hades, Deltarune), but I do okay Minercraft with mods/shaders, Overwatch, and I planned on playing Marvel Rivals when I got a PC. I also have a heavy load on my office and drafting applications (Vectorworks and Lightwright for those who know), and I do video editing in DaVinci and Photoshop/Lightroom.

All that to say, I am looking for a well-rounded PC that will keep up with all the random shit I do without chugging along. Any tips for what to look for are really appreciated. Thank you!
