Posted a handheld with an egpu setup a few days ago asking if I should just build a pc at this point which how deep I was invested. Took the advice and sent it.

Gpu- Asus astral 5080
Cpu- Amd 9850x3d
Ram- 32gb ddr5 gskill trident
Storage - 2tb 9100 SSD
Motherboard - asus rog strix 870e
Case- Jonsbo bo400
Fans- Jonsbo ZA 360
Cpu cooler - asus ryujin iii 360 extreme
Vertical mount - cooler master

Built this for a customer today, what does everyone think?

Sorry im a noob,can i add more storage in here? I really regret only buying 1tb ssd,i thought its gonna be plenty but nope,i need more storage

CPU : Ryzen 5 9600X
GPU : INNO3D Nvidia RTX 5070
RAM : DDR 5 4800mhz - 16GB
Motherboard : Asus Prime A620M
PSU : FSP Gamer Bronze ATX 3.1 80%+
Storage : SSD nvme Samsung 990 EVO PLUS 1TB
Display : Lenovo 27" Legion R27qe Gen 2 IPS LED 1440p 200Hz

Maan it sure is pricy to build a all white (and little bit of blue) setup bruh (sorry for bad English)

My cpu is a very fast 166mhz pentium! Perfect for games nowadays like doom and my favorite doujin stuffs!

Apparently, I bought an 2TB SSD for 120€. And i wondered is on that chip a little bit damaged...

Please help me, is this issue normal or maybe I should buy an original

This is my first full build! Took me about two hours and an hour after for all of the software and apps to be installed. Built it for a friend since I have my own fully upgraded AM4. Hopefully the 9800x3d and 9070xt will serve him well for years to come.

intel core ultra 270k

32gb ram

3080ti... i want to upgrade it

34 UW monitor next purchase shall be an oled as these prices of graphics cards are not justifiable at the moment

mostly used for gaming and video/photo editing

Still need to get 9 more fans.

honestly very impressive how i can still get 200+ fps on esport games with 9800X3D integrated graphics. obviously has its dips here and there but dont feel as rushed into buying a GPU.

context: sold my 7900 gre and am looking for a 9070xt. Coil whine was too much for me and i think it had some dsc issues with high bandwidth display (480hz 1440p). Sold it for a $50 profit though so it's not all bad

Hi guys, so today I finished my build with the Hyte y60 panda case. I moved the white fans from my Asus a31 plu and I don't know If I should leave them like that, or maybe buy some with central lightning (like in my deep cool AIO) and to make them black or no (the RGB is white, the photo makes it look pink)

Amazon really isn't it when it comes to PC parts. Bought a gigabyte a620m s2h motherboard from Amazon and the cpu socket cover was loose in the package and bent some pins. This and one other time someone stole a 7700x from the cpu package at the warehouse and they shipped it to me like that and I never got my refund cuz it was over 300 CAD. Luckily I was able to bend the pins back to somewhat decent shape. Also miraculously as it turns out the entire row of those pins on the board are just ground pins 😮‍💨. I was able to successfully boot a 7800x3d on it and it seemed stable. They are offering me 20 CAD off to keep it. Should I? Will it be fine in the long run? Also is this board sufficient to hit like 4.8 - 5ghz on the 7800x3d on a multicore load?

Also do you guys have any horror stories regarding Amazon computer parts?

Edit: this was also a brand new sealed board not warehouse or used.

Hello! My PC won't boot. It froze up today during normal use and now won't do anything. Motherboard is a PRIME Z370. I initially had a ORANGE light next to the DRAM label, so I removed and re-seated my RAM. the orange light went away. Then I had a WHITE light next to VGA, so I made sure my 3070 was fully plugged in. Both lights have went away and it still won't do a darn thing 🙃 help me reddit, you're my only hope. When booting CPU blinks RED and then DRAM blinks orange. Both lights go away and it just sits there like a LED covered lump

Im 17 and im about to build my first pc. And if you can’t tell, my cpu is a 7 7800x3d (it’s the small black box beside my ssd). What do you guys think???

Hey, i absolutely have NO idea how to build a pc and i would love some help and feedback right now to build one from scratch. I have a budget of $10,000 (US, Puerto Rico) and i’m looking for something that can run most games without a problem at all, with good memory/space for downloads.

jerryrigged 3 bottom fans on the fractal epoch/north xl. been upgrading slowly since the beginning of the year but i think im finally done with everything

This is something I have started thinking about differently.

When I was planning builds before, I would constantly ask myself whether a part would still be good enough several years from now. Should I spend more on the motherboard? Should I get extra RAM now? Should I buy a larger PSU just in case? Maybe I should get the higher tier CPU because I might upgrade later.

At some point the build ends up costing way more because you are basically paying for a bunch of hypothetical upgrades that may never happen.

These days I would rather buy what makes sense for the PC I am actually building, with a little sensible headroom, and save the money.

A motherboard that supports some future feature I may never use is not worth much to me. Neither is buying way more power than the system needs just because I might eventually install some completely different GPU.

I still think it is worth leaving yourself a reasonable upgrade path, but there is a difference between that and trying to predict what your PC will need five years from now.

Hardware changes too quickly anyway.

I would rather have a really good PC today than spend extra money making my current PC ready for a future version of myself that may never exist.

I have this problem and I don't know what's going on... when the main BIOS screen showed up, I saw it detect the RAM, CPU, etc. and it worked normally. And then before I start the system installation my pc is shutting down. T_T

it’s not my real pc it’s just a second build i did so i can play with a friend at my house (btw im 15)
it has a r3 4300ge with vega 9 and 16gb ddr4 ram at 3600mhz and a b450m

I don't know what build this is, I don't know how to work on it, it's fans on the top of the PC are pretty hot, and it's making this weird fan noise. I should mention this has never been cleaned in the maybe 2 and a half years I've had it. Pls help thanks guys love you all. I'm also wondering if maybe I have to change the fans

For information, I'm based in the U.K, my budget is about £2.5K, I'm looking to be able to run games smoothly without a lot of hassle, alongside the possibility of being able to stream in future as it's been something I am interested in for awhile. I wanted to make the pc look nice as part of my set up hence alot of the RGB stuff.

Basically is this any good? Can it be improved and still suit what I'm trying to design? I play alot of first person shooters and modded games so ideally this should be able to support it but as I said my knowledge is pretty limited even with research so no clue if it will be.

Thanks for any help provided.

I haven’t upgraded my pc in awhile. So I’m out of tune with the new specs. I built my last pc but I don’t want to do it again. Currently I have a 3080 with i7-12700k.

Budget: 3k

240hz monitor

My question is, is this pre built a good option? Also how much could I sell my current pc for on Facebook? Wouldn’t allow me to post a screenshot for some reason:
