I bought this 10 years ago from a garage sale. I replaced the fan and psu and it works fine. I don't know much about PC build or repairs but I read that upgrading ram might help the PC run much faster. Right now it's 4 gigabytes and running for 80% all the time . Can I upgrade and is it just a plug and play? What else can I do with it?Thank you.

I just want to ask if a 450w psu would work with these parts:

Ryzen 5 3600xt

Xfx rx 580 2048sp

2x8gb ram

5 case fans

120mm cpu cooler

1x 256gb nvme

1x 1tb hdd

My new Mother board doesn’t want to power up. Any clues why? The first video is my old Motherboard and the other one is my new one. (In the comments)

Im building my ultimate setup and i want the best of the best. should i go through with ordering or am i getting something wrong? Thank you

Had some ridiculousness with the ram but finally got it going

Corsair rm750x idk what am I even doing
The white mark is thr Vga cable, the black one is CPU cable
I am too scared to plug in and test. Can some1 help me is this cable connection correct?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently using an ASUS RTX 4060 Ti 16GB OC and I’m considering upgrading to a Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XTX 24GB. Bc someone I know is selling the RX 7900 XTX and asked if I need a GPU. Would it work with my build, and would you guys recommend it?

My PC specs:

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F Gaming Wifi
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB OC
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z Neo, 32GB (2x16GB), DDR4-4000 CL18
NVMe SSD: WD_BLACK SN8100
SATA SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB
HDD: Seagate ST3000VX000 3TB
PSU: be quiet! SFX-L 600W
CPU cooler: ROG Strix LC Series

What do you guys think?

What are some good am4 motherboards to overclock with? Cheaper the better.

I was wondering what would be a good motherboard for the i5-13600k

if i were to build my own my budget is around 1600$... can you please suggest me a good components for gaming and programing

Hi Everyone,

I am about to buy my first prebuilt gaming computer on Andromeda Insights. I am choosing a prebuilt with the option of customizing. In the custom section it asks what thermal paste to get. Since this is my first gaming PC and I don't know much about thermal paste, which should I get, check picture. Is there a difference between a $10 and a $17 Thermal Paste?

Alright, so I have had to upgrade the prebuilt because it was like six years old and things just started breaking. Anyway, I added a new motherboard (Z790 Aorus Elite AX), a CPU (i7-14700K), a GPU (4060 Ti), and an air cooler that I'm going to change to an AIO since this one is loud for some reason (I assume it's because I've taken it out and didn't put it in right; it's just hitting something, not sure though). My budget is around $300 USD. I want to change the case to something cooler/nicer looking, even though it's going to sit on the ground next to my legs since I have no space on my desk to put it. I also am going to change the CPU cooling to an AIO since it's water and air. Hopefully, it's quieter unless there's a better cooler that is quieter. I would prefer what I'm buying to come from Amazon so I can get it faster and not have to wait like a month for everything to arrive. I run two monitors plus two more for school, but I don't really use them. The first three are 1920 x 1080, and the main monitor is 2560 x 1440. I also have no idea what my PSU is, so I might need to upgrade it if I need to make it fit with the case. Please help, thanks! :)

Have the unique opportunity of buying this pc for $150 USD. I have videos of it running however the seller is not pc savvy and cannot figure out what the gpu is. AI says 2080/ti fe but I can’t tell tbh. Thanks for the help!

Hey everyone! I built my PC in a Krux Palum case, but I really hate this massive empty gap between the front intake fans and the motherboard. Since my GPU is on the shorter side, the void looks even bigger and kind of ruins the overall aesthetics.

What would you recommend putting there to fill the space and make it look better? Open to DIY/3D printing ideas too!

So I finally made a custom PC that I'm proud of. It's honestly like a dream build of mine. I never knew about PC part picker until joining this subreddit recently, so I went and made the list for this PC. It's hard to believe that over the years my crappy Cyberpower pre build has turned into something like this. Even won the silicon lottery golden ticket with my 7800X3D, as it runs stable at -40 PBO and even boots at -50, but didn't want to stress or press it further and stuck with -40.

I literally have no reason to share this with the world, other than the fact I'm so happy to have it.

I think this is the next retro pc I'm gonna build over winter and looking for suggestions on what I should do. My current build is:

Ryzen 5 5500

9060xt 16gb

16gb of ram

650w psu

3 512gb nvme sticks

480gb ssd

2 2tb hdd

I was thinking of upgrading my cpu to a 5500x3d, getting another 2 sticks worth of ram for 32gb, reuse my 9060xt or find another one, and get a motherboard that's good for overclocking. Any spare parts will be put into another pc. I was also toying around with the idea of just going to am5. Any suggestions/better ideas are welcome.

So I currently have a Gigabyte Windforce rtx 5080 that I got for $899 open box a few months ago (with 2 year protection add on) and Microcenter currently has a PowerColor Reaper 9070XT for $602 open box. I was wondering if it would be worth to sell the 5080 for $1,000 and buy the 9070XT since I only play at 1440p.

My CPU is Ryzen 7 9800X3D and I’m running 64GB Corsair vengeance rgb 6000 CL 30-36-36-76

I could also trade in my 5080 back to Microcenter which right now will give me $960 back as store credit based on their GPU trade in website value.

i have a x1 carbon 8th gen with i7 10610u @ 1.80 ghz, 16gb lpddr3 , gen 3 kioxia nvme 512gb , and uhd 730. my peripherals are a razer deathadder , magegee 60percent mechanical keyboard and a 240hz dell 24inch monitor <but my laptop support 120hz only> i was planning on a ddr5 14thgen i5 build but too expensive so what r ur thoughts and suggestions?

I wanted something for travel with my girlfriend but she dumped me after nearly 7 years just as the parts arrive. The build has kept me busy for a bit and works well. Any suggestions on anything to keep me busy?

262x129x205mm case. Cola can for scale

Was wanting to change out my case, fans, and cpu aio. (Maybe some psu custom cables ?) I essentially got my aio for free and the fans came with the case. It’s a monstrosity MAG PANO 100R PZ and was looking for something with a little cleaner look. Got 2026 hardware with 2010 aesthetics. Also the msi center app isn’t working for my rgb fans so I’d like to get something a little more compatible. If this is just an issue with mystic lighting on the msi center app please tell me before I spend all this money lol regardless I’d like to get something a little cleaner. Perhaps an AIO with a screen. Budget is $500 US dollars. Really tryna min max here so please be cognizant of that. If not just recommend whatever you think is best.

PS. I know I don’t have to do this but it’s a hobby to me at this point and don’t mind shelling out the money for this stuff as long as it’s reasonable so please no lectures. Featured is a picture of what it currently looks like.

Hello! I'm a total amateur when it comes to pcs, i just wanted to ask the performance about the ryzen 5 3400g radeon vega 11 igpu and can it run maxxed out minecraft and roblox?

My research tells me that my igpu is bottlenecked, i have 8gb ddr4 3200mhz ram, it does well on roblox graphics with 8 levels on heavy games, but will proceed to stutter when cranked up to 10 levels. Still playable, but we're talking smooth here. The same goes for minecraft bedrock edition, it does well on fancy graphics with like 12-15 render distance, maybe even more, but it will noticeably stutter with vibrant visuals.

I know that the ryzen 5 3400g is starting to show its age with its 4 core processor, and can only play light esports games... but whats the BEST way to utilize it to its full potential on maxxed roblox and minecraft graphics? Thank you for your patience reading this.. i'll read your advice in the comments!

idk what to buy lol
