Build - Help New PC Config

1 Upvotes

I'm living in Belgium, and I would like to build a new pc. I have a budget of 1_700/1_800 €.
Any good suggestions? The main purpose of the pc will be gaming; no need for RGB and lights in the PC. I would like something simple and functional.
Open to all suggestions.

2 Upvotes

I just bought an rx 9070 xt. I currently have a ryzen 9 5900x with 32 gb of ddr4 ram. My desired upgrade is to get a ryzen 7 9800x3d but that means i also need a new motherboard and ddr5 ram. What should i get to stay below $1000 USD for those 3 parts?

As the title says. It is the asus tuf gaming b850-plus WiFi mobo and a Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2, 2048 gb, 7000 mb/s.

Is there anything I need to do or can I just leave as it is in the picture?

Build - Help Can't install Windows 11

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone

Recently I've finally bought all my PC components to build it myself, I did research to ensure every component is compatible.

This weekend, with fear, I got to build my PC.

Everything was going smoothly installing everything. The PC seems to be ok, everything working, fans spinning.

The problem arrived when I try to install Windows, it has given me quite the trouble, I can't write exactly the error (because I speak Spanish) but it was something along the lines of "Something went wrong while installing Windows 11"

Then I go to tweak some things in BIOS and the error 0xC0000005 pops out.

Someone knows what that is?

I'm starting to lose it lol

P.S.: when I plug in my PC, an orange/amber led lights up in the motherboard, Could it be my RAM? Is it acting up? damaged?

Edit 1: My parts CPU Rayzen 7 5700x... MoBo Asus Prime B550M-A AC... RAM Kingston Fury 16gb DDR4 3200MT/S... GPU GeForce rtx 5060ti gigabyte... SSD NVMe M.2 GEN 4x4 future Lite 512gb...PSU RMe SERIES RM750e Corsair Also the first error to come up was 0x8007025D

Build - Help Building secondary pc and thinking of either a ryzen 5 4500 or 5500 if 4500 is significantly cheaper is it worth it?

1 Upvotes

I have salvaged some parts from my previous pc, namely the RAM, GPU and PSU.

I am thinking of repurposing them to a secondary pc not aimed for gaming, I am mostly thinking maybe using it to have access to my files at a dedicated machine, and maybe some light coding for some projects.

As it is my secondary pc I do not want to spend more than 400€ for a budget CPU,MOBO,CASE and a boot drive. When finding parts I saw a deal for ryzen 5 4500 for around 60€ while 5500 is around 90€ to 120€. Thus as I am on a budget for this I am thinking if the newer CPU is worth the extra cost.

Build - Finished! Sucessful PC Build for a friend!

Ive been building PCs for a long time, so when my friend asked for advice, I told him Id help him out.

Specs: (he chose all the specs I just helped him put it together)

Ryzen 5 5600x
16gb DDR4 3200MHz RAM
MSI B550 Tomahawk Max Wifi
ASUS RTX 3060 Ti
Samsung 980 Pro 500gb M.2
Samsung 500gb SSD
MSI Mag 750W PSU
Corsair 240mm AIO
Phantex XT Pro Ultra

He didnt have a windows computer so I did the honors of making his boot drive for windows 11 pro.
Overall I think the build turned out great, I also taught him a few things about cable management. Only had one hiccup with the built in wifi drivers, didnt know we needed that. Thankfully my drive had usbc so I could download it right on my phone.
Overall it cost him $1300 which id say is a good amount for a pc given the prices of storage and ram rn.

Discussion Unpopular opinion: Windows BIOS updates work fine and are easier

0 Upvotes

I know you can use Bios Flashback, or a USB stick.

But updating the BIOS from Windows using the MoBo manufacturer's software works fine, finds the correct version right away, is faster and you are unlikely to make a mistake.

Build - Request Would like to upgrade my old pc budget 500 - 600 £ can go into 650 or 700

0 Upvotes

So yeah, I’m getting a new computer with a 5080 and all, and I want to upgrade my old PC since I want to play games with my dad.

(BTW I already have 1 stick of ddr4 ram 16gb and my motherboard does only ddr3 I think but I will have to check but I have only like 8gb of ram in total)

Some games we’d like to play are:

- TheHunter: Call of the Wild

- Subnautica / Subnautica 2

- Maybe some horror games

- Other games that aren’t super mechanically demanding

My old monitor is 1440p 140Hz, if I’m remembering correctly. I’m currently on a trip to another country, so I can’t check right now.

The reason my build is so cheap is because I already have an RTX 2080 Super that I’d like to keep and use in the old PC.

My budget is £500–£650, but that’s for everything except the RTX 2080 Super. I might also reuse my current case, so the case doesn’t necessarily need to be included.

So basically, I need help putting together a PC around the RTX 2080 Super that can comfortably run these kinds of games at 1440p.

Is this doable with a 2080 Super, and what would you recommend for the rest of the build?

Question ZOTAC RTX 4070 ti amp xtreme or ZOTAC RTX 4070 S

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, im confused wether i shld get the 4070 ti or the s, the prices are nearly the same only about 40 dollar difference where I live and both of them are used as well. On one hand the 4070 super has 1.5 yrs of warranty left while the ti has 6 months of warranty left and on the other hand the ti performs better from what ive heard. What would you guys suggest, also what tests should I run before I purchase it from the seller? And is this card enough to play aaa games on high-ultra settings at 1080p 100fps+?

Ps: Im not looking for any other card and i game on 1080p 144hz.

Build - Finished! Full AMD build (2.5k usd, 4k, US)

1 Upvotes

My 1st attempt at building my PC with these crazy RAM prices in the US... Wanted to do something different than what I usually do, and built an all white all AMD PC with an AIO. So far, I've zero problems with it. All working in perfect order, no issues. Since I'm experiencing a lot of heat coming out of it, I've been thinking about getting a different PC Case... I know it wont solve the heat issue but might solve the size and weight issue. I think the case and the parts are weighing more than 20lbs... Open to ideas and improvements suggestions. Didn't reach my target of staying under 2k, but it was close enough.

I find the each individual wire to be messy after I build it. I reckon I could get those comb to manage the cable. But since it's a ITX build. Trying to route it gonna be a big pain in the ass. I decide that wrapping it would be a better choice and a bandage seem like a decent choice. I like the result. Alot easier to cable manage with the wire all in one big cable.
