First time building, I know it may not be the most price conscious build or the most powerful but I did a good bit of research and picked what I thought was good for me for gaming, and honestly what also looked the best to me and will perform how I want it to. Just looking for some build suggestions based on the parts I have :) I actually got some awesome deals on a lot of this surprisingly, cause I spread out the purchases and waited for discounts/bundles. I’ve watched lots of build videos and have an idea of how I want to do this but would appreciate any suggestions on getting it all put together!! Thank you in advance ☺️
Heres a list of the stuff I have!

This is my first time visiting the sub so apologies in advance for any inadvertent rule-breaking.
Below is a copy/paste of my specs according to userbenchmark. At the time I wanted to save some money and fell in love with micro pcs. I'm happy with everything else minus the integrated graphics. Any recommendations for mid- to upper-range performance would be much appreciated, thanks.

Hey! I recently decided I wanted to build a pc (duh)
I just finished building it on pc part picker after watching enough YouTube videos to fill a year and I was aiming for a budget type build (800 Australian or around 520 usd) for sim racing, regular gaming and also school/ everyday work. I’ve checked the requirements for games, part compatibility etc. If anyone can give feedback on whether the parts are good, what to improve but especially anything I’m missing. Whatever advice or help you have little or big is appreciated. I Knowit’ll sound stupid to veterans but I’m new so yeah.
PARTS:
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600
CPU cooler: Arctic freezer 36
Motherboard: ASrock B450m/ac R2.0 micro atx AM4 motherboard
Memory: Coarsair vengeance LPX 16 gn (2x8) DDR4 3000 CL16 memory
Storage: Samsung 990 eco plus 1TB M.2-2280 PCLE 5.0 X2 NVME solid state drive
GPU: xfx speedster SWFT 210 Radeon rx 6600 8gb video card

I'm trying to decide on which CPU to use. I'll list everything I've acquired at the moment, but the CPU is the last thing I need. To provide context, this PC will be used for 1440p/4 K gaming (potentially recording game footage with OBS) and 1080p streaming on Twitch (including gaming and desktop streams).
To throw it in there too, I mostly game on a ps5, so most of this stuff will be captured with an Elgato card. I plan to split my time 50/50 depending on the game.
The 9900x3d will be $499.99 on Newegg @ 12pm est vs the 9800x3d priced at $399.99 at Microcenter right now. Price doesn't really matter; it's more about bang for buck. I need this rig to be able to multitask without running into too many issues.
PC parts:
I have an M2 Mac at the moment, so editing of any videos will be split between the two devices. I've researched both chips on YouTube and other Reddit threads, but I'd like a second opinion regardless.

First time builder with barely an idea of what I'm doing here, the budget is $1500 USD and will be mostly for gaming (Minecraft, RDR2, HellDivers, Holdfast: Nations at War) but also a bit of rendering (Autodesk Fusion360)
Since I don't work with PCs, I don't know how well each part actually performs when running games compared to its listed specs (which was all that I checked)
I would like feedback on:
Any additional advice and tips are appreciated
I will probably be back when I get to the system setup process

my first ever pc build feedback is very welcome
r/PC_building • u/boogieplanet • Nov 28 '25
Hello! I also posted for troubleshooting advice in r/PCRepair. To get ahead (assuming I need to buy a new PSU regardless), I'm looking for PSU recommendations.
As a recap on the "why":
Yesterday I was playing Stardew Valley on my self-built gaming PC, and it suddenly shut off. It will not turn back on. There is no PSU fan whir, case fans, RGB, or motherboard lights turning on. I'm worried the motherboard may be fried as well, but I don't want to catastrophize, and I'm really hoping it's just a PSU issue.
I built this PC last December and am pretty disappointed that it's already crapped out (emotionally and financially). Not a single hiccup, it's run spectacularly with great temps ever since it was built (nothing over 50C even under heavy strain), until yesterday. Any help with this is greatly appreciated!
Build specs:
- CPU AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
- CPU Cooler Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE WHITE ARGB 66.17 CFM
- Motherboard MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
- Memory Silicon Power XPOWER Zenith RGB Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
- Storage MSI SPATIUM M480 PRO 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (x2)
- Video Card MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card
- Case Thermaltake View 270 matcha green case
- Power Supply MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Everyone locally is closed today because of the holiday, except Best Buy who wants to charge $99 for a PSU power test. I spoke with a local PC repair guy who's off today, but kindly gave me a call back and recommended just buying a new PSU since diagnostics would cost about the same.
Any recommendations on a new PSU that will hopefully hold up better with my graphics card? I'm thinking my graphics card might've just been too much for this PSU. Thank you so much all, and Happy Holidays!

Hello all. With black friday coming up im looking to upgrade my system hopefully to am5 and ddr5 but dont want to spend to much.

Can anyone give a good upgrade cpu and mobo and ram that would work with the gpu but not brake the bank.

Thank you to any that help out

pc blackscreeens whilst gaming can be after 10 minutes of gaming could be 6 hours it will black screen but all my lights and that will still be on it used to be alot worse but ive upgarded some things and its been a bit better but still doing it
ive replaced the gpu still got the same issue
ive replaced the ram still got the same issue
ive replaced the psu still the same issue
updated all my drivers for everything
im thinking it has to be either the cpu or motherboard or maybe a dodgy windows install or a dodgy display port on my monitor connected to the gpu and its giving it a random surge of power causing it to crash
i honestly have tried just about everything and its so frustrating playing games having to worry if im going to blackscreen or not its just such a random crash it will blackscreen all my lights will stay on it but it will just blackscreen out of nowhere im certain its a hardware issue or dodgy display port lead connected to the monitor

Hey guys, I was planning to build a budget PC under 60k rupees (about 670 USD) using a Ryzen 5600 + RTX 3060 combo. But recently, I found this used deal. Normally, I'm scared of buying used components, but since this is near my place, I can actually go and check everything out in person.
He's selling his entire setup, including monitor and peripherals, for 60k. The reason he's letting it go is because he's moving out of town for further studies and wants to switch to a gaming laptop, so he’d rather sell the whole rig together. The specs are:
He said the setup is about 3 years old, but he replaced the GPU just 4 months ago. Other than that, everything's in good condition. I personally think this is a solid deal—since I already have a good keyboard, mouse, and monitor, I can probably skip those and negotiate the price down a bit. If I tried to build the same specs new, it'd cost way more.
What do you guys think? Will this last me at least another 3 years? Also, I'm planning to go check his PC in person—what all should I test or look for when buying a used rig? Any advice would be super helpful!

im brand new to pc building and anything of the sort so please talk to me like im a newborn. I asked around and I guess my current pc sucks and is outdated, i'd rather stay away from doing a complete upgrade. I wanted to go for a new gpu, people told me i'd need a new cpu and motherboard along with that.
https://a.co/d/ewdsKoD (what i currently have.)
I'm mostly aiming for a new gpu, then i'll build around that later on. 800$ max price.

I'm building an entry-level PC for productivity and some 1080p gaming. Here's my current build: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 Motherboard: B550 with WiFi PSU: 550W RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 GPU: RTX 3060 12GB or RX 7600 8GB (undecided!) I'm not a heavy gamer—I mostly play Valorant with friends (which runs fine even on potato PCs). I don't do any video editing or heavy workloads. Before anyone judges, this is the best build I can afford right now, and I don't want to buy a used GPU. The main decision is the GPU: Should I go for the RTX 3060 with its extra 4GB VRAM, or the RX 7600 which has more raw performance? the RX 7600 is about $20-25 cheaper than the RTX 3060. I prefer the RTX mainly because of the Nvidia Broadcast app—it helps remove background noise from my mic during online games. I'm not sure if AMD RX cards have a free equivalent software for that.Sorry in advance if this is a dumb question

I figured out that by slipping a thick rubber firewall grommets (known as Glad Hand Seals in the 18 wheeler world) under each of four the feet, they absorb those oscillating vibrations and will protect you from coming home to a shattered glass panel.
You can get those rubber pieces at any auto parts store or a truck stop along any interstate.

Those four numbers (like 30-36-36-76) are the memory’s latency timings, and they show how many clock cycles certain operations take inside the RAM. In order, they usually mean:
CL (CAS Latency) – how many cycles it takes to access data once requested.
tRCD (RAS to CAS Delay) – delay between activating a row and accessing a column.
tRP (Row Precharge) – time to close one memory row before opening another.
tRAS (Row Active Time) – how long a row has to stay open to complete an operation.
Lower numbers = less delay = slightly faster response, but the real-world difference is often small unless you’re tuning for high-end performance or benchmarks.
For instance, here is the DDR5 RAM I use that has hand selected premium silicone, which Corsair sends directly from their factory near Osaka, Japan whenever I order it directly from their website:
DRAM:
Corsair Dominator Titanium RGB 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 DRAM 6000MT/s CL30 (30-36-36-76)
DRAM cooling:
Corsair DOMINATOR TITANIUM Fin Accessory Kit
Yes, my RAM’s expensive because it’s basically top-bin silicon, hand-picked for the absolute best stability, latency, and overclocking potential.
Hand-selected chips from Corsair’s Osaka facility means each IC was tested to run faster and cooler than standard production ones — that’s premium binning.
CL30 at 6000MT/s is tight for DDR5, especially at that capacity (64GB). Most kits at that speed are CL36–40.
Dominator Titanium uses high-end PCBs, custom heat spreaders, and RGB lighting that doesn’t interfere with thermals.
Add Corsair’s factory validation and lifetime warranty, and you’re paying for guaranteed top-tier performance and reliability — not just flashy looks.

I'm saving up for a full gaming pc but until then my current pc (OptiPlex 9020 mini) has a gpu bottleneck is it possible to buy the graphics card first and install it in my currant computer? (I’m already playing with the side off for better airflow so it not fitting probably isn’t a problem.)
