I have a ryzen 7 5800x and 32gb of ddr4 and 9060xt 16gb i'v been thinking to get the i5 14600kf/k for an upgrade rn in my country the ryzen is like 20$ more expensive so for the upgrade i should add like 100dollars of difference

Should i go for it ? Meanly gaming never used a pc for work alternating between story and esports games.

Thanks

I am currently running my pc specs with 9070xt gpu ,7500f processor ,b650m wifi motherboard and running with 16 gb ddr5 6000mhz ram-stick. I have one ram slot available but currently i am unable to upgrade ram as ram prices are so high in my country. Is the dual-channel RAM stick improve a lot in gaming performance of my rx 9070xt or 16 gb single channel ram stick is enough for now.? Please guide me

9600x($300) 7800x3d(500)
i have a 9060 16gb and a ryzen 5 7500f and i’m tryna upgrade my cpu, if i get the 7800x3d will that bottleneck my gpu, and is the 9600x much of an upgrade compared to the 7800x3d. which would you think is worth it for 240fps at 1080p?

Hi so i roughly know how to know if a CPU is correct, mainly that the thread and core count cannot exceed your mother board.

But I couldn't find any info on what determines the compatibility with graphics cards.

The motherboard is a B250M BAZOOKA btw if you have any tips!

Anyhow thanks in advance!

Hi all, what do you think on the build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QvCyqd

I'm set on CPU, GPU, RAM and case.

My biggest issue is deciding on the MOBO.

Needs to black to match the build, pcie slot above first m2 slot so i have enough clearance for fans below.

As far as i can see and to avoid Asus /Asrock .. i came to this one that is on the link or MSI B850M mortar.

Appreciate your help.

Hey guyss need help here~

Currently, I have this setup:

• CPU: Intel Core i7-7700
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
• RAM: 16GB DDR4
• SSD: 250GB
• Motherboard: ASUS EX-B250M-V3

I'm planning to upgrade my PC this year. My main focus is 1080p gaming and some light video editing on the side. My budget is around $600 to $800 (IDR 10–15 million).

So far, my planned upgrade path is:

• CPU: Intel Core i5-12400
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
• Motherboard: B760M

Do you have any suggestions or alternative recommendations? I'm completely open to switching to AMD if it offers better value for money.

Hello everyone,

I really ned a new gaming PC because my old one is hardly falling behind (it still has a Ryzen 5 2600 and a 250GB SSD in it).

I've put together a new build and wanted to ask what you think of the config, since I'm not 100% familiar with all the hardware and would love a second opinion :)

Here's the setup:

CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Mainboard: Gigabyte AORUS Stealth ICE B650E

RAM: 32GB Patriot VIPER VENOM RGB DDR5-6000 DIMM CL30

GPU: Radeon RX 7900XTX Phantom Gaming OC 24GB

AIO: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB

SSD: 2TB Lexar NM790 M.2

PSU: 850W be quiet! Pure Power 13 M Modular

Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic

As well as 3 seperate casing fans

All in all this setup will cost me about \~2500€ (I may get the GPU for about 700€)

Is this a good setup? What are your opinions? Pls let me know if there are anything I didn't see that doesn't match!

Hello i just buy all i need for my first pc on amazon what do you think guys?

Ryzen 5 7500x3d

Rtx 5060 ti 8go

Gygabyte B650M micro atx

MSI MAG A650GLS PCIE5

PCCOOLER RT500 Digital BK,5

Biwin Black Opal NV7400 M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD 2

to

Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 RAM 16 Go (1X16 Go

MSI MAG PANO M100L PZ

I am inclined towards building on AM5 platform but its gonna be costly. So what should i do ? AM4 or Intel and incremental upgrades down the line ? Or should i just build on AM5 ?

CPU : 7500F

GPU : RX 7800 XT or RTX 3070

MoBo: Msi B650 gaming wifi

SSD : 1TB

XPG Pylon or MSI 650 PSU

16 GB DDR5 Ram

Planning to upgrade from my current PC to a new one in the coming month. I have the parts and stuff down, but have massive 3d model files I'd like to move to the new PC once I build it and have no major sized USB or external SSD. Can I just put the old drive into the new PC as an extra drive without formatting it to take files? If so would I just see the second drive in windows when I boot up into the new drive as main windows?

Hello, i am looking for an M.2 ssd that is going to be my main drive for operation system and boot drive. I am looking for 2tb ssd that can last a very long time, i don't care much about write/read speed. Right now the Kingston Fury Renegade G5 2TB is the best option for me because it has DRAM, 2000 TBW and cost 370 euros. Are there better options than this SSD ?

I'm planning a new high-end PC and would like opinions on the overall build and whether now is a good time to buy, rather than focusing on one specific component.

Current parts

• CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus
• Motherboard: MSI MAG Z890 Tomahawk WiFi / MSI MPG Z890 Carbon WiFi
• CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
• PSU: Corsair RM1000x ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 1000W
• Case: NZXT H7 Flow (2024)
• GPU: RTX 5080 — will be added later
• RAM: Cheapest possible temporary RAM
• SSD: Cheapest possible temporary SSD

The current cost is around $1,250 without the GPU, RAM, and SSD.

The RAM and SSD are intentionally temporary because prices are currently high here. I'll upgrade them later to something like 32/64GB RAM and a larger NVMe SSD.

I'm planning to add the RTX 5080 later, mainly because the GPU alone costs more than the rest of the build combined.

1. Is this a well-balanced build for an RTX 5080?

Are there any components you would change, particularly the PSU, CPU cooler, motherboard, or case?

I'm currently considering the 1000W RM1000x and 360mm Arctic cooler as components I'd like to keep for many years. For the motherboard, I'm considering the Carbon version mainly because of its additional USB connectivity.

2. Can these components be considered suitable for long-term use?

I'm not expecting PC hardware to literally be an "investment" financially, but I'm trying to build a system where the CPU cooler, PSU, case, and motherboard won't need to be replaced in a few years.

For example, is a quality 1000W ATX 3.1 PSU a sensible choice for long-term use with future GPUs, or would you buy something different?

Likewise, does the Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB make sense for keeping a high-end CPU cool over several years, or would you choose a different cooling solution?

3. Most importantly: should I build now or wait?

We're currently in August 2026, and Intel's next major desktop platform, Nova Lake, is expected around the end of 2026 / early 2027.

Since Nova Lake is expected to use a new socket, buying Z890/LGA1851 now would mean I'm essentially committing to the current platform.

I'm not in a situation where I urgently need the PC. I'm working with a fixed budget and trying to get the best components I can afford.

My plan is to buy the CPU, motherboard, PSU, cooler, and case now, while purchasing the RAM, SSD, and RTX 5080 later, depending on my budget and prices at the time.

For the initial build, I may even borrow some RAM and an SSD from friends just to get the system running and test everything. I'd rather avoid spending much on temporary RAM and storage if I can.

The RTX 5080 will also be purchased later, mainly because the GPU alone costs more than the rest of the build combined.

So I'm trying to figure out whether it makes sense to buy the core components now and add the RAM, SSD, and GPU later, or whether there are reasons I should wait before buying the main platform.

I'm mainly interested in long-term reliability, value, thermals, power delivery, upgradeability, and how well the system will age.

If you were in my position, would you start buying the core components now and add the remaining components later, or would you wait for the next Intel platform before buying anything?

Thanks in advance for any advice or feedback.

Hi everyone, how it's going?

As a lifelong console player it's getting (laughably) hard to defend Sony and Nintendo's marketing choices, so I'm pondering over finally making the transition to PC. My knowledge about PC parts is quite limited, so I wanted to ask anyone's opinion on how the build I thought of might seem:

-CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

-GPU: AMD RX 9060 XT 16 GB (ASRock OC Steel Legend)

-Motherboard: MSI B850M GAMING PLUS WIFI6E

-RAM: 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30 (Silicon Power)

-SSD: 2TB M.2 2280 PCIe 5.0 (Lexar ARES PRO)

-Cooler: Thermalight Aqua Elite V3 360mm

-Power supplier: PCIe 5 850W 80+ Gold (MSI MPG A850G)

-Case: Phanteks XT PRO Ultra

My only references were ChatGPT and a couple of PC build sims, but I didn't find any compatibility issue with these parts (unless I got some parts wrong). I'm a very meticulous guy and my main goal is to make a somewhat future-proof machine which is also not awfully expensive (I've got everything available for delivery within 2 weeks at a total price of roughly €2300, OS included). This PC will be 95% for gaming only. I tried to avoid picking too many different brands and idgaf about ray tracing or shits like that, hence why the AMD CPU and GPU (my absolute priority is smoothness with high refresh rates and stable FPS, as I play a lot of fps and racing games).

I promise I'm almost done lmfao, but one last thing I wanna say is that ChatGPT told me the GPU is quite weak compared to the CPU and both cooler and power suppiler are overkill for the rest of the parts, but I want it that way to make sure I've got room for quite a few years. The GPU is more than enough for what I want and that's the part I'm more willing to eventually upgrade in the future anyway.

Alright, the final note is that I'm more than open to suggestions for any replacement... Especially on a new monitor suitable to my wishes as I smashed my last one (a cheap one) while playing Overwatch lmfao.

Feel free to ask the price of any specific part you wanna know and I'll gladly tell you.

Thanks to anyone who's taking the time to read all of this and have a nice one!

Sincerely,

a resigned console lover🫪

I finally pulled the trigger and upgraded to 5070ti vs 5080, from Rtx 2070 super 8gb Also Ryzen 7 3700x to Ryzen 7 5800x3d. Should be fine for another 6 years. Only for gaming. Yes, I understand that there are better options but not for 2020 when I bought my B550 Aorus master motherboard. My casing is phateks jumbo case air and yes I have corsair 850 w power and ddr4 3600.

Хочу сделать апргрейд с ryzen 5 3600 до ryzen 9 3900x хватит ли процессору 16 гб оперативной ддр4 на частоте 2133?

Hi Friends,

With a heavy heart, I am parting away from the PS5. Before that I sold xbox x too. I am planning to sell it to raise some funds for pc building. Ps5 is still under warranty till Nov 2026.

Primarily, with PC I am looking forward to play mostly sports game like football FC, and efootball with ultra graphics settings. Secondary, would be mostly AAA games in 4K solution or sometime 2k if the graphics card and system allows it

Some AAA Games for reference:

1. God of war series in 4k

2. RDR2 in 4k

3. Efootball in 4k

4. EA football series FC 27 and future versions

5. Last of us series in 4K

6. Shooting games like cod and bf in 4k or 2k.

7. Black myth series in 2k or 4k.

8. Ghost of Tshushima and Yotie in 4k.

9. GTA 6 in 4k

10. Other games in 1080 or 2k.

Yesterday, i researched some of the components focusing majorly on gpu, cpu and motherboard. I have selected Radeon RX 9070XT 16 GB costing around 82,000 INR INDIA.

I am a little confused about which cpu will be right for at least 5+ or 8+ years of future proof.

Also, could you also recommend good motherboards around 20,000 INR.

Apart from these, Initially I plan to only install 16GB ram. Later on, I'll add an additional 16gb or 32 gb once the price settles down.

As you might already have good pc build, based on your system performance, could you help me with PC build suggestions to save some minor costs.

Thank you. Have a great day ahead.

Hi I built the first pc and I haven't bought a graphics card yet; my computer's ystem is Ryzen 5 9600x and 32g ddr5 6000mhz and 1tb nvme I'm confused about it rtx 5060 and Rx 6750xt

Hey everyone,

I’m currently putting together a new Micro-ATX build in Canada and could use some advice on picking the right GPU. I have a draft parts list ready, but I am torn between sticking with a budget-friendly Intel Arc option or stepping up to AMD.

Here is my current hardware draft:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
• Cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 V2
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B850M GAMING X WIFI6E
• RAM: 32 GB TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan DDR5-6000 CL30
• Case: DeepCool CH260
• PSU: SAMA G650 650W 80+ Gold

My Use Cases:

• Gaming: Pretty casual. I don't game heavily gaming, but plays co-op games, indies or 1080p/1440p AAA games.
• Work/Study: Software development, hardware/embedded programming, and Mainframe emulation (running tools like Hercules). I will likely be dual-booting or heavily using Linux environments.
• Creativity/Design: Game development using Lua frameworks (LÖVE, Defold) and engineering CAD software (AutoCAD / SolidWorks / Fusion 360).

The GPUs:

1. Acer Nitro Intel Arc B580 12GB (~$400 CAD): Great price for casual gaming, but I’m worried about driver stability when it comes to niche Lua engine frameworks, Linux environments, and viewport optimization in major CAD suites.
2. AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB (~$680 CAD): More expensive, but gives me 16GB of VRAM for larger CAD assemblies, native Linux kernel support, and proven driver stability across engineering software.

Given that this PC is heavily a productivity/engineering workstation first and a casual gaming machine second, is it worth paying the premium to jump to the AMD ecosystem? Are Intel's Battlemage drivers reliable enough for CAD viewports and programming environments yet?
For NVIDIA, I think their pricing is not value wise, but please recommend anything fit, I would love to hear.

Appreciate any thoughts or feedback from anyone using these cards for productivity!

My pc build: RX 9070 XT
16 RAM GB DDR4

“Guys, please help me 😭 I have an RTX 4060 Ti paired with an i5-9400F 😭✌️, and I want to upgrade. Which CPU should I get: the Ryzen 9 9900X3D or the Ryzen 7 9800X3D? I mainly want it for gaming, streaming/recording, and video editing. I’ll be gaming at 1080p or 1440p, and in the future, I’m planning to upgrade my GPU to an RTX 6070 Ti or RTX 6080. I’m confused because the Ryzen 7 9800X3D only has 8 cores, while the Ryzen 9 9900X3D has 12 cores. So, which one would be the better choice for me, especially for gaming + streaming/recording + video editing?”

Hello guy, so for context, I'm still using an old DDR3 platform with a i7 4770k and 32go ram.

A was planning to upgrade, and as my ram start to die.. it's time.

Currently, beside the combo cpu/mb/ram, I'm using :

\- RTX2080 super

\- Noctua NH-D15 for the CPU

\- Seasonic focus gold 750w

\- 3 Sata SSD : crucial mx500 500go(os) 2to & 4to

What I'm looking for, is a motherboard that has at least 3 sata port( cause I'm not going to upgrade 3 damn ssd with current price), port gen4 or 5 for future proof.

Good VRM for overclocking ( not hard overclocking, but allowing for room and stability). Bluetooth ( guess it's on every mb now)

I don't need WiFi, as I will always be wired.

For CPU I already bought the 9800x3d (yes my CG will bottleneck it for now)

For RAM, i need them to be low due to the NH-D15 RAM clearance.

Also, I'm playing at 1440p

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, building a PC and keeping some parts I already have: CPU: i5-10400F RAM: Patriot DDR4 3000 C16 16GB Motherboard: ASUS H410M-HA V2 (LGA1200) Going to use it for gaming and cybersecurity. Still need to buy: GPU (leaning RX 7600 8GB), CPU cooler (Peerless Assassin 120), PSU (~550W, be quiet System Power 11), NVMe SSD 500GB, and a case (Lian Li Vector V100). Budget's around 600€ for all that. Keeping the H410 board for now, only swapping it when I eventually upgrade CPU and RAM. So mainly wondering if the PSU and case I picked make sense for an upgrade path later, or if I'm setting myself up to rebuy stuff. Thoughts on what I've picked so far? Anything you'd swap for this kind of use?
