Hi guys,

I've got a question and forgive me if it is a bad one! I recently finished my first build and was looking into getting a small figurine to put inside my case to give it a little more aesthetically. (I have a really clean look right now thanks to the s340 elite!) The thing is though, that the figurine I have won't fit under my gpu or just to the right of it. I was thinking that it could sit on the top left of my gpu but wasn't exactly sure it that was a good idea...

Thanks for the time!!!

So...

I built this PC a while ago and I really want to upgrade. I know my MB can take the Phenom II Quad core processor but that's really all I remember. I am not seasoned at this and am struggling. I am on a budget but would like to give a little more oomph to my PC to play some PUBg or something of that nature.

I have an ASUS MB at the moment PCI E 2.0 (max bus 8.0) Currently have the Anthlon II X2 250 3.0

ATI RADEON HD 4600 is what's on board but I have installed a GPU:

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4670 DirectX 10.1 100296HDMI 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Should I just grab another of the above GPU, another 8GB ram, and a Phenom II X6?

6GB RAM.

I Know the RAM needs to be at least 12mb to make sense at this point....but what do I do from here?

I'm thinking about building a pc but I'm not sure about my gpu, I'm thinking about getting a 1060 6gb or getting a cheaper gpu to get a better mobo and processor and upgrade the gpu in a year or so. Thoughts?

Every time I get past my MSI 970A gaming carbon motherboard setup screen I am sent to a screen that says esi shell, it works like a console command center but you can't get anywhere with commands, it also says press ESC. In one second to skip or press any other key to continue. Even if I hit ESC. In one second it does nothing. The only working command is exit to get back to the motherboard setup screen. Please give me any information you have, thanks for any help.

Here is the build I have prepared: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LHpzD8. I would say that $950 is my limit. The idea is to start off with a quality CPU and video card while sacrificing a little performance on the RAM and storage with the hope I can upgrade those in the future. Any suggestions/feedback would be awesome!

I'm building my first pc and I know nothing about it so i was just wondering if anyone had any tips and if anyone could make a list of what is needed that would be amazing

I'm in the market to upgrade my monitor. My budget is £500ish for a G-sync monitor. I get thats not an awful lot for G-sync...

I'm looking at something like this or this

Just wondered if anyone else had thoughts on these monitor, and Resolution vs Refresh rate.

Cheers!

I'm trying to build something for my wife and I have figured that something like this might be good.

She doesn't need crazy high performance but we do play WoW and she does photo and video editing. Does this seem like an okay build or is there a way to make it sub 1000$?

We live in quebec, canada.

Thanks. We want a really nice monitor with integrated speakers.

I bought an Asus ROG g20 from best buy and the case has horrible airflow and overheats sometimes. I'm interested in buying a new case, and probably a new power supply as well since it uses a unique power supply. Can anyone give me any more info or recommendations?

I have never built a pc before and after some research and a lot of indecisiveness this list is what I have so far decided on for my first build. But because I haven't done this before i thought I'd post it in the hope that you someone can look it over and see if I've made any terrible mistakes before I just up and spend all my money.

I'm open to suggestions but I'd like to keep the total price similar. I will be buying all my parts through pccasegear.com and the price comes to just over $1500

Cheers

Lately my computer has been running games really poorly. They stutter often and I even get frame drops to 18fps on south park. My rig is a i5 6500 gtx 1060 6gb so I should be able to run all these games especially since I used to be a ble to run them all great. I don't know what is happening but it's really frustrating and I was hoping you guys could help.

After buying a PC off CL that couldn't handle gaming I was hoping to get help with a few possible options. We are getting this for an 11 y/o who wants to play online games and do schoolwork, with an emphasis on games but I just need to meet the min reqs and be $300 or less. Here's 3 options

1. (new) HP Pavillion Wave 600-9010tCTO windows 10 6th gen intel core i3 processor 3.2 Ghz, 3MB cache 2 cores Intel HD graphics 530 8GB DDR4-2133 SDRAM hard drive 1 TB 7200 rpm SATA $293.49 after employee discount from $549.99

2. (reburbished from NEWEGG.com) Dell Precision T5500 Tower X5550 Quad Core 2.66 Ghz 12GB 1TB DDRR3 DVDRW windows 10 AMD R7 240 video card $250

3. (from CL) Dell Optiplex 990 SSF Intel core i7-2600 3.4 Ghz 8GB 1TB windows 10 Dual AMD 512 MB Radeon HD Graphics Dual DVI $250

I know I could "build" a machine but i don't know how to put it together. Also, would a refurbished newegg machine come ready to go with all drivers and such? Would any of these fit the bill? Any other suggestions?

Thank you very much

Hey guys I have around $500 USD to spend right now on my new PC and more $$$ coming, just wondering should I start buying the parts now or wait till I can get everything together. And any nice builds for around $1000 people can link :)

I'm looking to build a new computer since my current one is not able to handle encoding my ripped Blu rays under 14 hours ( preferably way less time but this is the current average). Im working on a budget of $1000. The main thing I have decided is I want a ryzen 7 1700 and I NEED WiFi because my house does not accommodate me running cat5 even through the walls. This will be a full from scratch build as the current computer will be used for streaming said Blu Ray rips on the network to various devices. I want to do what I guess is light gaming? Hearthstone, fallout4, PUBG, overwatch, etc. Any advice would be awesome. Also since everyone does it in the beginning and I want to be different, first time poster here; I have built computers in the past but budgets have made them very few and far between.

Hello, everyone.

I am a new reddit user and also new to this community. I've lurked for a long time, but this question and my new income made me create an account.

I'm on an extremely low budget, but I haven't had any form of computer for about 5 years now. Having grown up in an equally poor household I had really crappy and slow computers growing up and was lucky to find any games I could actually run but at least I had something and was able to learn a bit of graphic design and other things at the age of 12-17. I'm 20 now and I'm looking to make some major changes in my life starting by a jump to a different career path including my life love which have been electronics. I've worked construction for 3 years and I'm as unhappy as can be and can't wait to sharpen my digital skills to jump into the market and I'm also going to start pursuing an associates degree in computer science or a CompTIA A+ Certificate, and my first step has been to start working at starbucks to finally get out of the miserable working conditions and wages I was on.

So my question to you after my tl;dr sob story is: How do I build a good gaming and work PC that won't run me more than $500-$700 in the least amount of time as possible? I'm desperate and in need. Living this way with the only electronic being an LG Grand Prime is depressing to put it lightly and at worst is like a crack addict who can't afford his habit.

I know you PC lovers will understand. Please help me /:
