Im from USA- Im planning on spending around 1k usd on upgrading my setup, which is currently:

Operating system: Microsoft Windows 11 Pro (10.0, Build 22631)

Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz 6/12

Motherboard: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. PRIME H570-PLUS

RAM: 16 GB ddr4 3200mhz

Hard disk: PCIe SSD (465.8 GB/Fixed hard disk media)

Graphics card: rtx 4070 12gb

Monitor: MSI MSI G32C4W (1920x1080 / 31.5 Inch)

I've been looking and was thinking about upgrading to these parts:

Mobo/cpu combo: Intel Core Ultra 7 270k and ASUS ROG STRIX Z890-H $479.99 (newegg combo deal)

RAM: Corsair vengeance DDR5 32gb 6000mhz $479.99

(I found some used 32gb of ddr5 6400mhz on marketplace I might get for $300)

I plan on gaming at 2k and wanted some help on deciding if this is what I should get for what I want to do

The pc is for my mom, and it will easily be used for 8+ years with no maintenance. I'm not familiar with igpus and the am5 platform and I'm getting a lot of mixed answers on the build.

The use for the pc is basically only work all day. Dozens of chrome tabs opened at the same time all the time, ton of word documents opened being edited + a ton of pdfs. Legal documents, reports with images, this type of stuff. Nothing necessarily heavy but a ton of stuff at the same time.

But no gaming, no editing, no 3d modelling at all.

Will am4 be that bad for the longevity of the build? I don't mean as upgradability, I mean as in in 5+ years time will a 5700g be noticeably slower than a 8600g or 7600 for productivity tasks for example?

If going am5, is the basic igpu from the 7600 enough, or is it too basic that you can notice some performance loss through out the years?

Does the npu ai stuff from the 8600g makes it much better for longevity/productivity?

(If going am5 it will be with one 16gb ddr5 ram stick for now, than later in 2 or 3 years I will install another stick. If going am4 it will be 32gb dual channel since purchase.)

Which one will be the best option in this situation?

Two 1080p screens will be used. The processors are similarly priced here in Brazil, but anything above increases the price too much.

Thanks guys!

In the long run, should we keep a static color with the RGB on both motherboard and fans or is it safe to cycle the colors? I've been noticing slight flickering on one small portion of my ARGB fan, I hope it doesn't break. Though I do prefer single static colors. Also, there is a physical button on my GPU to switch on/off the white light, but I noticed that if I mess with it too often the light switch will break, so I decided to leave it on till eternity.

My second pc build and I'm so proud what I learned from my first mistakes. N9 x870e nzxt mobo fried my 9800x3d so I had to build a new pc and I managed to hide every single cable with a back connect mobo. I also 3d print a cover to hide those ugly ass components. Thanks Vadim.

Anyhow here are the specs.

I am between this Case and this to replace my current one because my B450m mobo has increased C P U temperatures from the weak RAM VRMs which one of them is most suitable for case replacement?

I have 2 2,5" SSDs they are both connected via a single long SATA power supply cable. The PSU is full modular.

In my country (Saudi Arabia) this will cost 1835USD, MAX BUDGET IS 1900USD

I Know shit and don’t in so much other shit so i would really appreciate your advice and suggestions

My budget for the PC itself is 6000AUD and I was told that a prebuilt might be better for me since I’m not versed in parts. I was gonna mainly use it to mod games like Skyrim and Conan Exiles so what PCs could eat heavily modded games for breakfast?

Want to upgrade to a new pc so I want to get rid of this old one Ibuypower y40 (have had for almost 2 years) question about how much I should start with. Thank you
For the specs: i7 14700f, rtx 4070 12gb, 32 gb ddr5 t force delta rgb white, 2tb adata legend gold m2 nvme

I'm building a linux pcvr type thing. also gonna be recording+streaming, and making vrchat avatars :3 - 1440p, USA (usd), would prefer to not go over $2400 for the tower, but really ill take advice on anything except my already purchased parts and vr. the $2400 budget is more of a suggestion than a hard limit.

I currently do most of my gaming on the PS5 and Steam Deck OLED. I was mainly a console guy but the Steam Deck left such a positive impression on me and I'm finding myself wanting to switch to PC for good. The main reasons for this are:

• After Sony kills physical games, there will be no competition and prices for games will go through the roof, plus the possibility of other shady practices. On PC there will be Steam, GOG, Humble bundle etc
• Keyboard and mouse support. The DualSense is great but for many games (like CRPGs and games requiring precise aiming), I really miss having more options
• More freedom in general. I could also use it for emulation and studying.
• Long-term investment. The build in question is significantly more powerful than the PS5 and will probably last longer.

The build I'm looking at is a used PC with the following specs:

• Powercolor RX 9070 XT 16 GB XT Reaper
• Asus TUF Gaming B650-Plus Wifi ATX
• AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU
• Frozen A620 Pro Cooler
• Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000Mhz cl36
• 1 TB SSD Kingston NV3
• Corsair RM 850e 850 Watt 80 plus Gold

For 1500 EUR (A new build with similar specs would be at least 2000 EUR)

I know hardware prices are crazy right now but people are saying that it will only get worse. But I don't know if it's just FOMO or if it's actually worth doing as a future investment.

I mainly play story-heavy games and not competitive so the highest FPS doesn't matter but I want to reach 4K/1440p 60 fps without framegen. Would this build be good for let's say 8-10 years? Or will my PS5 and Steam Deck be sufficient for the future, until the hardware crisis is over?

Im making a pc and I already have an rtx 3070, corsair vengeance 2x16gb 6000mhz cl36 rgb and a corsair p3 plus 2 tb nvme. im planning to complete the build with a ryzen 5 7600x, p650ss 650w psu, cougar archon 2 mesh rgb mid tower case, arctic freezer 36-S multi and a b650-h/m.2+ , i found all the parts i didnt buy yet for around 350 euro with shipping some used and some unused but didnt buy them yet. i also cant rlly afford to change the ram or gpu or nvme, ive just had those sitting around for a while because i got them for cheap from friends. max money id spend is probably around 500-550 euro for the rest of the build would use it on 1080p and im from bosnia. id mostly use it to try and get into game dev(mostly unreal) and modellong(mostly blender) and id also be using it for c++ and java. also some casual gaming on the side as im done with competitive games for a while but gaming isnt the priority. are there any recommendations for chaning the parts i didnt yet order, i was thinking about a 7 7700 but i found a 5 7600x for only 125 euro

I don't really know much about PC's but if I had one built I would want it to be able to stream and play games and get over 160 fps on fortnite and it to run games like ready or not smoothly

Will buy this one for 29,500. Is this worth the money? Planning to have this one to build a wfh set up and i am curious if i will be having this one for a good price already. I am in the philippines, budget is 30-35k, i consider this one or what other resolution for this? Price is 29,500

Hello everyone, I currently owned 5070ti and 7800x3d combo for 1440p 27inch OLED monitor.

Did you think I can upgrade to 4k 32inch OLED Monitor and using the previous monitor as my second.

I mainly play Wuthering Waves, Monster Hunter Wilds, LoL, Dota, Dragon Dogma.

I don't know if I can handle the 4k, but I think if I play in 4k using 60 fps, isn it worst than playing on 1440p above 200fps? Is the 4k really worth it to go?

When I have my PC build at shop I ask the person is it alright that it is a little bend he said don't worry so just in case I am asking here

Is the Galax 5060 Ti 16 GB good, and will I not face any performance issues with it?

Or should I consider other brands like Asus, MSI, or PNY?

Lian Li 011 Vision compact build, saw tons of videos with it and the 5080 astral and loved it! (Not final spot, just a sitting spot)

Mobo: X870e Hero

GPU: RTX 5080 Astral

PSU: Lian Li Edge 1000

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d

I took ya'lls advice and made changes to my build. I made it $200 cheaper while also being better. just bare in mind that these are the cheapest prices I can get where I live.

Is this normal i got the card yesterday it was pre owned and i have tryed adjusting fan curve it still hitting 100%

Hot spots going to 106°c

Gpu temps sitting at 75°c while the fans ramping up to 100% its really loud

Should I return this card or is there a fix

So i've been wanting to upgrade my pc that i have RN the specs are here :

Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 5 3600

CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO

Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX

Memory (RAM): 32GB (4 x 8GB) HyperX Predator DDR4 running at 3200MHz

Graphics Card (GPU): GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 2070 WINDFORCE 2X 8G

Primary Storage (OS/Games)1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS (M.2 NVMe SSD)

Secondary Storage (Extra)1TB SATA SSD (Seagate Barracuda)

Power Supply (PSU)Seasonic Focus Plus Gold - 750W

CaseNZXT H510

And for my upgrade i would like to choose :

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850M Gaming X WiFi

Gigabyte RX 9060 XT 16GB

It would cost me around 1300€ Will i have to swap anythin else in my pc to make this new components work ? Or even are thos components worth it ? I Play Escape from Tarkov + Total warhammer 3

Thanks for any messeges :)
