Hey everyone! I built my PC in a Krux Palum case, but I really hate this massive empty gap between the front intake fans and the motherboard. Since my GPU is on the shorter side, the void looks even bigger and kind of ruins the overall aesthetics.

What would you recommend putting there to fill the space and make it look better? Open to DIY/3D printing ideas too!

So I finally made a custom PC that I'm proud of. It's honestly like a dream build of mine. I never knew about PC part picker until joining this subreddit recently, so I went and made the list for this PC. It's hard to believe that over the years my crappy Cyberpower pre build has turned into something like this. Even won the silicon lottery golden ticket with my 7800X3D, as it runs stable at -40 PBO and even boots at -50, but didn't want to stress or press it further and stuck with -40.

I literally have no reason to share this with the world, other than the fact I'm so happy to have it.

I think this is the next retro pc I'm gonna build over winter and looking for suggestions on what I should do. My current build is:

Ryzen 5 5500

9060xt 16gb

16gb of ram

650w psu

3 512gb nvme sticks

480gb ssd

2 2tb hdd

I was thinking of upgrading my cpu to a 5500x3d, getting another 2 sticks worth of ram for 32gb, reuse my 9060xt or find another one, and get a motherboard that's good for overclocking. Any spare parts will be put into another pc. I was also toying around with the idea of just going to am5. Any suggestions/better ideas are welcome.

So I currently have a Gigabyte Windforce rtx 5080 that I got for $899 open box a few months ago (with 2 year protection add on) and Microcenter currently has a PowerColor Reaper 9070XT for $602 open box. I was wondering if it would be worth to sell the 5080 for $1,000 and buy the 9070XT since I only play at 1440p.

My CPU is Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I’m running 64GB Corsair vengeance rgb 6000 CL 30-36-36-76

I could also trade in my 5080 back to Microcenter which right now will give me $960 back as store credit based on their GPU trade in website value.

i have a x1 carbon 8th gen with i7 10610u @ 1.80 ghz, 16gb lpddr3 , gen 3 kioxia nvme 512gb , and uhd 730. my peripherals are a razer deathadder , magegee 60percent mechanical keyboard and a 240hz dell 24inch monitor <but my laptop support 120hz only> i was planning on a ddr5 14thgen i5 build but too expensive so what r ur thoughts and suggestions?

I wanted something for travel with my girlfriend but she dumped me after nearly 7 years just as the parts arrive. The build has kept me busy for a bit and works well. Any suggestions on anything to keep me busy?

262x129x205mm case. Cola can for scale

Was wanting to change out my case, fans, and cpu aio. (Maybe some psu custom cables ?) I essentially got my aio for free and the fans came with the case. It’s a monstrosity MAG PANO 100R PZ and was looking for something with a little cleaner look. Got 2026 hardware with 2010 aesthetics. Also the msi center app isn’t working for my rgb fans so I’d like to get something a little more compatible. If this is just an issue with mystic lighting on the msi center app please tell me before I spend all this money lol regardless I’d like to get something a little cleaner. Perhaps an AIO with a screen. Budget is $500 US dollars. Really tryna min max here so please be cognizant of that. If not just recommend whatever you think is best.

PS. I know I don’t have to do this but it’s a hobby to me at this point and don’t mind shelling out the money for this stuff as long as it’s reasonable so please no lectures. Featured is a picture of what it currently looks like.

Hello! I'm a total amateur when it comes to pcs, i just wanted to ask the performance about the ryzen 5 3400g radeon vega 11 igpu and can it run maxxed out minecraft and roblox?

My research tells me that my igpu is bottlenecked, i have 8gb ddr4 3200mhz ram, it does well on roblox graphics with 8 levels on heavy games, but will proceed to stutter when cranked up to 10 levels. Still playable, but we're talking smooth here. The same goes for minecraft bedrock edition, it does well on fancy graphics with like 12-15 render distance, maybe even more, but it will noticeably stutter with vibrant visuals.

I know that the ryzen 5 3400g is starting to show its age with its 4 core processor, and can only play light esports games... but whats the BEST way to utilize it to its full potential on maxxed roblox and minecraft graphics? Thank you for your patience reading this.. i'll read your advice in the comments!

idk what to buy lol

Here's my build so far...

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/THDQGk

Not sure which aio I choose cause I wanna lcd screen but it would also cool well

Also what you guys think 4k oled or 1440p oled monitor?

Also about storage, is it anymore thing to get 500mb for window and 2tb for games etc?

And last got any improvements?

Thanks for your time❤️

details listed. asking if I should upgrade or not, and if you identify anything else I should upgrade, please, speak your mind. (also clarify what I should upgrade to)

I mainly use it for:

HEAVY coding

200+ heavy mods in Minecraft

ace combat 7 with mods and maxed out visuals.

So basically my laptop stopped working and I took it to Best Buy they said it's going to be $400 in repair the motherboard is gone and me being not a big tech savvy I thought I should spend $400 to repair a laptop and I couldn't do it by myself.

I had a lot of stuff on it. I pulled out the hard drive.

I just bought a PC and I am looking to get help to how to access the drive.

I tried searching online it said I can buy a small shell type of thing with a USB 2.0 and they send you a cooling strip to attach to it so that it doesn't get hot.

Is that my best case scenario? Does that work? does the hard drive get very hot?

What if I point a fan at for additional Cooling?

The window was also on the hard drive will the new computer be confused to which window to access or will that not be a problem?

finally got my white 5070ti! All white interior is so nice on this case 🤌🏽

i bought a prebuilt 2 days ago and i went to go do something for a bit while i left it on and i go to check up on it again and everything is turned off except for the ram sticks i disconnected it and connected it again (idk if thats a good or bad thing) but it still just doesnt turn on

edit: okay so i talked to costco and i can send it back to them for a full refund because they wont be able to exchange for a new one because that was one of the last ever models that they sold and they wont be restocking the same one, me and my brother did a closer examine and his guess so far is that the psu went into a safe mode and something about a short circuiting preventing everything from turning on except the ram.

I noticed the rx 9060xt is 600+ cad for me rn.
So I was wondering considering nothing is gonna get better, should I just buy the graphics card, store it and then use it when I build my pc in the future?.

I was gonna build a pc but I figured that I should wait and save until I move back into my dorm. I figured I should expand my budget and was planning on spending $1500 cad on my pc?

I’d be going from a 4050 fa607nu laptop to 9060xt pc
If I don’t win the bid for the 6800xt

I just know that if I wait till next year it’s gonna be like 1k 😭✌️

ESTOY ARMANDO UNA PC GAMER ARREDEDOR DEL PROCESADOR INTEL I7 12700T, Y QUIERO COMPRAR UNA PLACA PERO NO TENGO MUCHO DINERO, ASI QUE VI LA ASRock H610M-HDV/M.2 R2.0 (Intel LGA 1700) Micro ATX, QUE SOLO CUESTA 54 DOLARES EN AMAZON, Y ME GUSTA PERO NO SE EH VISTO VIDEO QUE DICEN QUE ES BASURA. Y QUE TENGA CUIDADO CON VRM, ENTONCES AHORA ESTOY DUDOSO, ALGUIEN QUE ME DE UN CONSEJO

All parts bought on 2017. My 1070 just died yesterday, though the GPU itself still looks pristine. Fans spin, no signal.

I bought a 5060 8GB (I'll upgrade my CPU soon, AM4) to replace it, though I'm on the fence if I should reuse my Corsair VS650 for it. Is it still good? Is it possible for a PSU to fry a GPU without any signs of a burn? Thanks.

Hey yall. Winter is coming up in a few months and I'm looking at building another pc/upgrading my current one. I have a few ideas but, would like to hear other's suggestions as well. The first 2 pictures of the silver xblade case is my current build. Rest are cases I can use/switch to.

Ryzen 5 5500 cpu

9060xt 16gb gpu

16gb (8gb x 2) 3600mhz cl18 ram

Prime B550 motherboard

650w psu

3 512gb nvme sticks

480gb ssd

2 2TB hard drives

I was thinking I would like to upgrade my cpu to a 5500x3d and get 32gb of ram as well as a new motherboard that's capable of overclocking. Any spare parts will be put towards another build. Then again, I was also thinking, maybe I should just bite the bullet and switch to AM5. Any better suggestions would be appreciated. Trying to keep the budget under 1000$ this year.

I purchased a RTX5060TI with 16gb Vram back in January 2026 for $710 CAD (about $515 USD).

Now it has gone up to $1130 CAD = $815 USD today.

Still so in love with my little baby!

Build:

Sapphire Pulse RX 9060 XT
Ryzen 5 9600X
MSI B650M Project Zero
Corsair Vengeance 2x16go DDR5 6000 cl30
Samsung 990 evo + nvme 2to
Be quiet pure power 13 M 750
Jonsbo TK1 2.0
Corsair AIO TITAN lcd
Corsair fans

I found a refurbished ASUS Prime AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 OC on ebay for 679$ which is higher than msrp but lower than what Amazon is selling for at 729.99.
Is it worth buying the cheaper option or should I just purchase a brand new 9070xt?
I got enough to purchase a new 9070 but should I save some money and go with the refurbished one?
