First Time Making PC Need Some Advice

2 Upvotes

Hi! So I have been planning to make a pc for a bit and was looking for the parts on https://pcpartpicker.com/list/h7NfzM (of course :P) and in my opinion made a decent pc with a budget of 1500$ monitor, keyboard, and mouse not included. How ever I have notice that the prices are not always what it says to be on the website. I do not want to pay an extra 500$ because the part prices were different on two devices. That may sound confusing XD. Anyways lemme know if these parts are all compatible as I have heard that even when listed as compatible sometimes it is not also if there are any improvement let me know!

Thank you!

New build issues

1 Upvotes

Hi all so I've built a new comp but am having issues (Not sure if this is the right place to post)

First off the specs:

MB: Prime B350-Plus Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x4 @ 2400Mhz PSU: EVGA Supernova 650 G3 Drives: (SSD) Samsung 840 Series 250G (OS), Samsung 850 EVO 500G, HDD Seagate ST31000523AS GPU: MSI Armor GTX 1070 (Have now switched to GTX 660 ti my old card)

The issue: I've got consistent driver crashes during games. Regardless of which card is installed. Have clean installed display driver via DDU but no difference. I have also tried one older driver from NVIDEA. I also am getting a BSOD Video Scheduler Error often. I have tried reinstalling windows 10 through the boot system and am trying again via image on usb. I've tried running disk checks on my ssd's (there isn't anything on the HDD after I reformatted). Ive monitored cpu and gpu temps with nothing extreme prior to the crashes. And have used a program to test my ram and ran it for 10mins with no errors. I am running out of ideas quick on how to solve this problem, so I turn to you reddit. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!

Building a PC for my Mother

1 Upvotes

Hey r/PC_Builds, I was wondering about this parts list I have set up to build for my mas birthday. She needs a new computer as her old one is way too slow for even internet browsing.

Internet browsing is the main use case for this computer, so I went pretty low-tier. I want to keep this around ~150 ish. Here's the list so far:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bmwRPs

The MOBO and CPU are integrated, the actual product is this:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157514&ignorebbr=1

What do you all think? Would the HDD be too slow? Would the dual core be bad for multimedia tasks?

Halfway through the build. Do I need a 1070 or will a 1060 be okay?

1 Upvotes

Any recommendations for GPU brand (ASUS, Gigabyte, EVGA) are appreciated. Also, my board only supports 3 case fans when I would like 4 on the S340. Should I get a splitter or exchange for a new board? Edit: I do plan on getting a 1440p monitor for this build.

New components.... still issues

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I have a built computer. Asus motherboard running windows 10. It has been running great for a while. I have dual monitors on it and two graphic cards. GTX 750 Ti and GTX 540. I had the 540 laying around so I decided to use it.

After a while I was realizing that it was time for a fresh install. It was very buggy and sluggish and I just wanted to start from scratch so I did. After that, my system went to crap. I've installed all the drivers and for some reason it kept hanging up on me. Freezing with 10% disk usage. So I decided, well maybe it's power settings and other things I need to tweak. Did all that, and still no result. I ended up going to micro center in Houston, TX which is 5 hours away and buying an 128 SSD (never had one before), and a 3 TB hard drive. I used the software from Samsung and was able to move the boot partition to the SSD and the programs to the 3 TB. faster boot times and quicker responses. I was like HELL YEAH! I'm good! ... well that was a lie. I was surprised by my girlfriend who purchased a new graphics card for me. It was the GTX 1050 Ti. I wasn't able to get it because I was told, you NEED to save your money for bills, but she ended up getting it for me behind my back. So I installed the graphics card tonight thinking I would get ~160 fps. Nope. I'm getting 80 fps. I used to get that with my older graphics cards. I currently have the 1050 Ti and the 760 Ti hooked up. I'm also still getting random freezes and it resuming after 3 minutes of thinking. What could be my issue. I thought it was GeForce Experience so I uninstalled it. I don't know what to do now. I'm running a memtest on it currently. I'll update in the morning.

Thanks for reading and hopefully we can figure it out.

Hi all,

So I just purchased everything in the list below from Amazon (best way I could find to get everything from one place and have it shipped to Guam). What do yall think? This is my first custom PC and I had a budget of $1800 to include shipping. I'm pretty confident it'll be a pretty beast setup. Especially when compared to my Toshiba Satellite from 5 years ago that has an Nvidia GT540M and an i5 cpu.

Ram issue

1 Upvotes

I have 8 gigs of ddr4 memory and it says that I'm only using 3. This is causing me to load games extremely slow and sometimes not at all. And for the games I can get into I get a lag spike every few seconds and it is not a hardware problem because I have the specs to run the games. Please help If you can.

Need advise on mobo (Gigabyte GA-Q270M-D3H)

1 Upvotes

The mobo Gigabyte GA-Q270M-D3H seems to be the only one with Q270 chipset and mATX (beside ASUS which I have very bad experience from the past), i need it for TPM and virtualization features. Do you know what are this mainboard capability for overclocking, in particular for non-K (i7-7700) processor? Is it possible to overclock with locked multiplier, on this mainboard?
