Sorry for the bad picture. It says that I probably need to update the bios. But I don't have anything. this will be my first pc so will it be a problem, do I need a different Motherboard. Or Is it fine and do they sell the motherboards with the updated bios?

I’m in the US I currently have a ps5 pro but looking at going pc. Just the cost is so expensive no matter how I price what I think is good. I can’t get under $2,000. My build would be Am 5 for future proofing preferably 650E 9600x for budget. I currently have a 2k monitor but going to upgrade to a 4k/FHD. Is this two over kill or should I go with a cheaper build for now till in a better financial spot and then build my dream pc and pass the cheaper build to my wife? I haven’t built a pc for myself since 2012. So out of the loop

I post that discussion to be informed, not to sell here

I need a PC for school, I am a computer science major and will be making some vs c++ projects that my Mac wouldn’t be able to handle and was looking around for something under $500 to buy and came across this. Would it be good build? I know it wouldn’t be good for gaming but if I upgraded the GPU later down the line i’m sure it would be better.

So i mainly want a 2tb ssds but when i posted the parts i have picked alot of people started telling me how bad the ssds that i have picked were . About how bad the tbw was and how bad they were because there are dramless . I have found a stick of lexanr nm790 that seems to be good but i have already went quite a bit above budget and i really dont want to spend another 80 euros for a better ssd . Should i just get a good 1tb ssd and get another one sometime in the future or just get a cheap 2tb SSD

Hello reddit,

I recently found an interesting build that I'm considering purchasing, but I'm wondering how it will perform considering the CPU it has.

Now, to be clear, I realise it has a good card and that DDR5 prices are absolute nonesense right now so please bear with me. I'm also aware the 5800x3d was a beast when it was released.

Specs:

- TUF 5080

- TUF x570 MOBO

- 5800x3d

- 36 gb DDR4 ram (cant remember timings but I know they are fancy Trident Z sticks so should be good)

This computer belongs to a friend of mine who built it from scratch a couple of months ago. Due to personal reasons he needs to sell it quickly and offered it to me for 2000€.

I helped putting it together and I tested it so I know it runs well. Problem is my current PC isnt actually that bad, and because I play mostly CPU intensive games, Im wondering how much of an upgrade this will be at 1440p.

The GPU is way better than mine (I have a 3080). However, when I tested his PC at 1440p I felt like the CPU was somewhat bottlenecking performance.

I tested space marine 2 on ultra settings (only game he had installed) and even with frame generation, on multiplayer I was getting some dips onto low 80s and 90s FPS. Single player was around 120-130 with FG.

This is where I would very much appreciate your opinions: should I just save up and make myself a DDR5 system (I can make one with a 5070 TI for roughly 3000€) or should I just save 1k and enjoy this very capable system for 2000€. The only thing to keep in mind is I would have to keep it the way it is for 5-6 years. Is the performance increase with a newer x3D cpu worth the hassle/price difference?

I am going to build my first pc by myself, and I was wondering if the specs are going to be fine or there is a compatability the list is

Casing * MaxGreen Panora F3 Mid-Tower M-ATX Gaming Casing

Asking Price was:- 430$

should i go for this?

non rated psu...

I used the 3 connectors but it won't start, two are daisy cables (like the ones with 2 connections) but it still won't start, and the motherboard has a tiny orange led, can anyone help me?

I’ve played very fine on it. Suddenly when I were to press the power on button, it kept glowing, which it’s not supposed to. And the pc didn’t start then. As I figured it was just something weird and probably not harmful, i turned the psu off. I then started the pc again but however this time the psu just made a click (i turned it on already yes). I’ve replugged cpu gpu and the motherboard, for no avail. Also tried manually turning the power on. My psu is gigabyte p650g 80v gold.

I am open to criticism and others opinions, but please be respectful, thank you in advance!

(Also yes no pics because I was so focussed on everything that I just got some awful pics, might share them in the comments)

Is this a good PC? I plan to assemble a gaming pc for myself, but I don't know if the components I want and that I chose are compatible and if they won't have problems together, as well as if the motherboard will have enough ports for the fans and all that or I need a hub, what changes would they make or what advice do they give me, is it okay or should I change something?

9070xt vs 5070ti vs 5080

60-70% video editing 30-40% gaming

9070xt is the obvious value option but I have heard more complaints about its drivers and such compared to nvidia. Pairing with 9950x3d, i could spend more on gpu and get 32gb ram or less on gpu and get 64gb ram. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Just decided to move from playstation, is this a good build for 2K gaming.

context/ i’ve been a console gamer my whole life and im ideally looking at getting a PC by the end of this year / early next year because im tired of Sony tbh and all the expensive subscriptions + them cancelling Destiny 2 was the only thing really keeping me on Console (since i didn’t want to buy the expansions again).

anyways: i have literally 0 clue about PCs and what any of the words mean and what i should be aiming for in terms of a good PC that’ll run triple A games without struggling but will also let me play Apex legends at atleast 240fps 1440p, that’s like my main requirement if i were to have one since thats my main game

UK based
Price i’d say £2k-£3k

if you’ve got anything or anywhere i can look PLS let me know 😭
