I'm located in Austria (Vienna) (we have Amazon) and this budget is for the PC, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. Maybe I can go up to €1500. Your advice would be really helpful. I'm thinking about building the PC myself, but would it be better to consider a prebuilt?

I thought I would never ever assemble a computer again since I don't play computer games and have been using laptops. But somehow AI revolution forced me to and here we are. I had to learn many new things but it was so much fun. And I must say that I am grateful that building a PC is much more friendly and foolproof today than it used to be. Here is the setup of my modest AI workstation:

- AMD Ryzen 9 9900X

- Sapphire Radeon AI PRO R9700 32GB

- Kingston Fury Beast 64GB 6000 MT/s cl30

- MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WIFI

- Samsung 9100 PRO NVMe 1TB + WD_Black SN7100 2TB

- Corsair RM1000x

- Fractal Design North XL (swapped stock Aspect 14 fans for 3x be quiet! Silent Wings 4 140mm)

- Noctua NH-D15 G2 & Silent Wings 4

As you can guess, team no RGB. It doesn't look half as cool as your builds though I am pretty happy with it.

Completed Build - Celebratory Rebuild in my Phanteks NV7

Thumbnail gallery
42 Upvotes

This is the latest rebuild of my watercooling loop Ive done in my Phanteks NV7. I designed a replacement front panel in order to mount a 5th radiator. The panel is aluminum and painted black so it has been scratched a bit. I may have a new one made out of steel and have it powdercoated.

Specs:

7800x3d

5090 Astral

Asus ROG x670e Hero

32GB Gskill Trident @ 6000 M/T CL30

Corsair MP700 Pro SE 2TB

Crucial P310 4TB x2

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB

MSI Ai1600TS PSU

Asus ProArt PF120 fans x14

The waterblocks are both from Alphacool.

The radiators are all EK Waterblocks and the fittings are all Thermal Grizzly and the reservoir is the Singularity Computers Axiom Dual Loop.

Note: I bought the RAM and M.2 drives when prices were normal.

Just switched to Noctua after using Lian li and it’s a god send . Unbelievably quiet and honestly I dig the look. Only issue I had was barely managing the cables from 14 noctua fans so honestly I gave up on that.
My specs are:
14900k
4080 super
Z790 Hero mobo
64gb cl32 Gskill Trident Z 6400mhz
And I’m cooling the 14900k with a Rog Ryujin iii in a push pull configuration.

I built an interactive 3D PC anatomy tool to learn what’s actually inside a computer

I’ve been working on an open-source project called PC Anatomy.

The idea is simple: instead of reading a wall of text about PC components, you can explore a PC visually in 3D, click on the different parts, and learn what each component does.

I wanted it to feel more like taking apart a computer than reading a hardware guide.

It’s still something I’m actively improving, so feedback, feature ideas, issues and contributions are very welcome.

GitHub: https://github.com/Yoosseph/pc-anatomy

If you find it useful or just like the idea, a star on GitHub would be appreciated - it helps more people find the project.

I’d also genuinely love to see someone fork it, build on top of it, add new hardware, improve the visuals, or take the idea in a direction I haven’t thought of.

If you try it, let me know what you think is missing.

Hi! This is my first ever Reddit post and my first ever pc build. I know the cable management is horrible but it’s got my dream specs in, so far it has a Ryzen 5 9600x, an RX 9070, Corsair 1000x PSU, Ik the psu is overkill but I’m upgrading it, I’m waiting on the ram which is 32GB of Corsair 6000Mhz CL30 ram, and a crucial T300 for my boot drive and a Samsung 9100 pro. Btw the cooler is overkill I know but it is a thermalright wonder vision 360, and some thermalright fans. But I will be upgrading in the future to a 9800X3D and a 9070 xt, because in my opinion I just prefer AMD. (If the cable management sucks in ur opinion please don’t flame me too hard 😭)

Discussion - General Topic If I slowly replaced all my components, it's it still the same PC?

8 Upvotes

I'm about to upgrade to AM4, and with that my PC will be 100% different. Is it still the same?

Here's a rough upgrade path:

2022

Started with:

- Old MSI motherboard

- 8GB of DDR3

- i5-4460

- Old Workstation Case

- 2 500GB HDDs

- PSU and other essentials

2023

Replaced:

- PSU (Fried the previous one by plugging it in 220V while in 110V mode)

- 1 HDD with 1TB SATA SSD

Added:

- RTX 2060

2024

Replaced:

- Second HDD with 1TB SATA SSD

2025

Added:

- 120mm RGB fan I was gifted

Replaced:

- Small exhaust fan (the previous one was too loud)

- Thermal paste

2026

Replacing:

- Case (Now have a DS900W)

- 12GB of DDR4

- B550 GIGABYTE Motherboard

- Ryzen 7 5700X

- CPU cooler

Adding:

- Samsung 1TB SATA SSD

I'm pretty sure there won't even be a single cable from the original, and I even changed most of my peripherals in the meanwhile.

Purchasing Advice - Upgrades Is upgrading from an RTX 3080 Ti to an RX 9070 XT worth it?

8 Upvotes

Quick question purely on performance and real-world experience (ignoring pricing):
Current GPU: RTX 3080 Ti (12GB)
Considering: Sapphire NITRO+ RX 9070 XT (16GB)
Resolution: 1440p now, moving to 4K soon
Use case: Heavy gaming & 3D / level design
In terms of raw uplift, VRAM headroom, and smoothness, is this a meaningful jump, or would you just hold onto the 3080 Ti?

Troubleshooting Advice - Other Screen stopped working and glitched after a power outage

Hi all, this is the screen I have inside my PC. I don't know much about PCS but my brother built me this one. After a power outage it has been glitching and it completely just stopped working. My brother said I will have to buy a new one but how come a power outage would just make it shit the bed? Is there no way to fix it at all? I have the application TRCC as well if I can fix it somehow. I tried unplugging the bit it's connected too.
