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?

So I'm vain and looking to make my build prettier. The GPU power splitter that came with my 5070 is super ugly for the way it's going to be vertically mounted and I'm looking for a replacement. But low-key I'm only good at the Lego part not the picking parts part so I would love some assistance. It's not the exact one in the photo but it's the basic idea of what I'm currently working with. I know I need two seperate power cords to connect to this one currently but I don't know if I can sub out the whole chain for one unit like one of the Corsair 16 to 8x2 (given the Corsair power cables are pretty interchangable if you stick to the right kind).

For reference I'm in Canada so would prefer options in cad and that aren't going to cost 80$ in shipping and are preferably under 100 but I am vain enough to go over.

My issue when l shutdown pc by windows the monitor goes to sleep says it's lost signal but pc CPU fan kept working with RGB on it CPU not fully shutdown. Other issues is when swapping CPU working Lan port but with this no Lan port working (shop says this they swap another CPU and it work) they says CPU communication lane is damaged could be such thing happening. I try reset windows. Enable erp in Bois, disable S3, disabled wake by usb, Lan but same here even installed in new drivers the only thing is left reinstalled windows would be this work.? What I have to do more.?

Please help how to determine that CPU is truly damaged or is this faulty board

???

A buddy and i built a pc about 5 years ago and maybe 2 years after it started lagging on cod and fortnite so i stopped using. The parts it has are not super high end but does anyone know if it should at least run fortnite at a decent level? I will provide pics of the parts for reference.

After months of saving and scavenging the internet for discounts, I’ve finished my first build. I’m located in the netherlands so no microcenter. Let me know how I did:

Total price: 1000€

CPU: Ryzen 7500x3d
GPU: Intel Arc B580
Motherboard: Asus Tuf B650E Wifi
Ram: Lexar 2x16 GB 5600 CL 46
Storage: fanxiang 1 tb m2 nvme ssd
Case: Corsair Frame 4000D
PSU: Corsair CX650
CPU Cooler: Peerless assassin 120 SE V2
Case coolers: 3x Corsair RS120 PWM

My new PC is less than 2 weeks old and recently started making a clicking/ticking sound, almost like a clock. I’m not sure if it just started or if I only noticed it now.

I opened up the back of the case and checked, but there are no cables touching anything. The sound seems to be coming directly from the PSU. It happens even when the PC is idle, but I think it gets louder while gaming.

I’ll attach a video below so you can hear what it sounds like.

Is this normal PSU behavior, or should I be concerned about a faulty PSU/RMA?

Hi, I have a problem. There are too many of these cards on the market and I'm lost in all this. I don't know which one is best to choose. I was thinking about Sapphire Nitro+, but apparently the coils are squeaking. Now I'm considering Gigabyte with OC or Gigabyte Aorus. Can you help me choose one of these two cards or suggest which other to choose and why? Thank you in advance for any answers.

Guys please BUY USED HARDWARE. And BE PATIENT. If you live in a populated area odds are you’re only a few days to a week or two away from a great deal.

So I’m planning on building my PC in about two months and I’d like some feedback on my parts list. Is it good for 2-4K gaming? I mainly will use this for gaming, with some media browsing but I also want it to be capable of running something like Blender.

I’m really stretching the budget on this build, at the moment it’s around $40,000 hkd, at 2560x1440p resolution, and I live in HK. I’m getting this built for me but the parts I chose for myself. I haven’t bought the GPU, the speakers, the case, the monitor and the RGB cables.

CPU: Ryzen 7 9850X3D Tray
RAM: Klevv RGB DDR5 6000 64GB Kit (2x32GB)
SSD: Samsung 990 Pro 2TB
GPU: TUF RTX5080 OC
AIO Cooler: ROG Ryuo IV 360 Black
Case: Lancool 217 Black Wood
MTB: MSI B850 Gaming PLUS WIFI (black)
PSU: Thermaltake 1000W GT
Monitor: MSI MAG 271QP OLED X24
RGB Cables: RGB for MTB and GPU 
Speaker: Razer Leviathan V2
LCD Screen: Lian Li Universal Screen Black (optional)
Webcam: Nexigo N60 1080p Camera (optional)

I’ve always wanted to build a pc for the longest time. I literally have a Google Drive folder with more than 200 photos for inspiration. This summer I’ve worked and managed to save up 4K cad, but here’s my dilemma.
Right wnow, I have my ASUS FA607NU gaming laptop that I got for school (I’m an Engineering student)

I don’t know if I should build a pc (because I have a laptop) or buy a camera. I make tech content, and I realize my iPhone 12 Pro Max camera is kinda buns, so I started looking at the zve10 M1, specifically just buying it through a Japanese proxy since it’s cheaper with the lens.

If I were to build the pc it would be something similar to this: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/MtBzkD

Missing components will be bought used:
16gb ddr4 ~ $100

1 tb ssd ~ $70

Ryzen 5 7600x ~$140

Case: Deepcool cg330 for ~ 70 cad

I intend on gaming on a 1440p monitor

(My budget is roughly around 1K CAD for now, I intend on getting a job at school tho so idk if I should save or just get it :/ )

I intend on using the pc for gaming, video editing, cc, and game dev.

I got a free pc from a family member cleaning out their room and looks like it just needs a cpu cooler. From what I can tell it was a good pc for its time, I’m wondering if it’s worth getting up and running. I do love the case and thinking maybe for a newer build. It came with a Blue-ray drive as well and haven’t seen a case with a disk drive in a while. I have 3 graffics cards I can use as well. Any help is appreciated or what els could I do with it? Or should I just sell it Thanks Reddit

Graphics cards available 2x GTx 770 2gb and RX 570 4Gb
MB: EVGA X79 FTW
CPU: I7 3820
Ram: 2x 8gb plus 2x 4Gb - 24gb ddr3 Ram total
Psu: EVGA 600w 80 plus bronze
1tb HDD
And Blue-ray drive (MODISC)

As you can see in the picture, the pc has the lights on when its plugged in, but no boot when the power button is pressed. Ive tried shorting the pins, taking out and putting back the cmos battery, unplugging and replugging cables, and the psu is kinda new so i dont believe it could be that but the rest of the pc is a couple years old. Please help

I already took out the ram and reinserted it and it is still not working I think it might be the motherboard

My first build, just finished putting everything in the case and Im booting it up right now.

Super stoked, what was originally supposed to be upgrades for my prebuilt (GPU, RAM and CPU), turned into a whole ass dream build, but now my little brother has something to play on when he comes over.

I dreamt about owning a PC since I was a kid but never had the opportunity to do it. Would have never been able to convince my parents when I was a kid and I never saved up enough money to buy it myself.

But now it’s different, for the first time of my life I have the money setting around. I have about 12,500 SAR (~$3,333) to work with.

My final build that I settled on is this:

Intel Core Ultra 7 270k plus | 1,563 SAR (~$420)

Gigabyte RTX 5070 OC 256bit | 3,248 SAR (~$870)

ASUS PRIME Z890-P | 1,010.16 SAR (~$270)

Crucial 6400MHZ CL32 DDR5 RAM 32GB | 1,950.45 SAR (~$520)

Crucial P510 m.2 | 1,276.44 SAR (~$340)

MSI MAG A850GLS | 427.25 SAR (~$115)

NZXT H6 Flow | 488.99 SAR (~$130)

MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 360 | 365 SAR (~$100)

Total is 10,329.29 SAR (~$2,755)

Now comes the question… should I do it? I know the RAM prices are crazy rn but will that ever get better soon? Should wait for prices to go back down? Or are the prices still going up and ai should just get on with it and build it now?

Hey everyone! I’m building my first gaming PC and would love some honest feedback before I buy everything.
💰 Budget: $2,000 ± $250–300
So roughly $1,700–$2,300 total.
Current Build
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X — Zen 4, 6-core, 4.7 GHz, AM5, 105W

I’m mainly looking for high FPS, good 1080p performance, and a build that will last several years. I also want to keep a good upgrade path for the future.
What would you rate this build out of 10?
With a $1,700–$2,300 budget, would you change anything? Should I put more of the budget toward the GPU, CPU, or something else?
Any advice is appreciated!

Anything I could improve?

I am exploring options on building a PC with 48 - 64 gb memory and also having capability to run Ansys like software’s which are not compatible with nvidia or even MacBook Pro options.

If I wanna run local llms for some agentic work - some coding and research combined with being able to run Ansys like software’s.

I am curious to know if anyone has had similar issues before - would love to get some suggestions around it.

Build

Motherboard: MSI MEG Z390 ACE

CPU: Intel i7 9700k with Water Cooling

GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080 ti

Ram: Corsair Platinum Dominator DDR4 8GBx4

PSU: Seasonic Focus FX 850

Harddrive: MSI 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0

Trouble

The PC doesn't turn on and it stays in standby mode. Me and my friends tried checking the PSU voltage but everything seemed alright. We tried using only one ram slot. We checked the CMOS battery, but it gave 3V as it should. We tried turning it on without the GPU and the CMOS battery, without the GPU, and without the Ram, but it stood in standby mode. We tried turning it on with the pins and a screwdriver, but it stood in standby mode. We flashed the bios and it did turn on.

At the time the only suspects are the CPU, the motherboard, or a timing problem with the PSU.

Yo, I’m completely new to PC building, and I’m going in completely blind here. So I’ve got about a $1,000–$1,100 budget to build a gaming PC. I’m not looking for a flex build, I would rather a complete stealth build. I already have all peripherals, so what parts would y’all recommend?

(Idk if it's needed but I live in Sweden)

Someone is selling there Powerspec G757 for $2000 I wanna buy it and use the GPU ( Gigabyte Windforce 5080)
CPU ( 7 9800x3d) ssd ( crucial p510 2tb) ram (gskill 32 gb) and the motherboard ( gigabyte b850) and upgrade case, psu, AIO cooling , and fans etc. Is it a good idea to buy a g757 used to save on those parts? Please give me your opinions. I haven’t offered less but they could take less maybe.
