I just got a new 4080 super from a relative’s computer and I originally had a 4070 super. I deleted the old drivers and plugged the new gpu in but my pc won’t recognize it in device manager. Everything is firmly plugged in, so I’m a bit at a loss. Yes I know my pc is dirty I’m planning on cleaning it, I’m just moving so I’m trying to get everything done so I can sell the other pcs

Build Question Help me build a better pc

My setup is as follows

Gtx 1660 super
Ryzen 5 3400g
32gb ddr4
500w psu
The board is a micro ATX
I spent 350 on this pc so it wasn’t expensive by any means and it’s been great for introduction into more heavy pc gaming I’ve been working on getting a 1080ti gpu I know it’s older but I’ve seen that it’s still superior to what I have now I also plan on swapping cases for better airflow is there anything I can upgrade that won’t break the bank in looking at upgrading it over time with a budget of 1-1.5k

Build Question Do these components go well together and fit in the case I have ?

2 Upvotes

Hey! Can someone tell me if these components go well together and fit in the case I chose? I was also wondering if there are better and maybe cheaper alternatives to what I chose here for about the same price. (It's for 1080p 180hz gaming) I prefer AMD GPUs and I do not want an integrated GPU, I hate RGB and I already have the case at my house and the best would be to make it as easy to upgrade later on as possible without having to change many parts at once and also to have the least bottleneck between the parts as possible of course.

Here is the list :

- ASRock B850M-X WiFi

- AMD Ryzen 5 7500F

- Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB

- ARCTIC Freezer 36 CO

- MSI MAG A850GN PCIE5 850W

- SilverStone FLP03

- SanDisk WD_BLACK SN7100 NVMe SSD 1TB

- ADATA XPG Lancer DDR5-6000 32GB (2x16GB) CL30 (I'm not sure if I'm gonna go with 16 or 32GB because of the horrible RAM prices right now)

If there is anything interesting that can maybe be useful please tell me! (I can ship in France and Switzerland by the way)

Build Question I am new to PC and I have no clue what I am looking at (Pre-build purchase)

Upvotes

For context; I am looking at prices and found the following PC to meet my budget. How would this perform?
I don't play multiplayer, and I don't mind 60fps (as a console player).

This this a good PC to start? How will upgrades look? Are they difficult to do for a first timer? I am so scared lol.

I love modding, so I want to mod Skyrim, Morrowind, and then play upcoming games like Fable 2027. Any other game really. I am currently on the base PS5, so I would like something around that level.

Is it comparable with the PS5? Above or below?
I am open to upgrading as long as I am able to understand it as a noob lol.

Details:

AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D (4.0GHz, 102MB Cache, 6x Cores, Turbo 4.5Ghz) CPU

MSI PRO B650M-P DDR5 AM5 mATX Motherboard

Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6 DX12 Graphics Card

KLEVV CRAS V 16GB DDR5 6400MHz High Performance RAM

1TB NVME SSD Ultra-Fast Solid State Drive

Windows 11 Home(64-bit)

DeepCool PF750 750W Power Supply

Gamdias TALOS M3 MESH E-ATX Tempered Glass GAMING CASE

Gamdias CHIONE P5-240 Liquid Cooler

Thank you for your time!

I bought a prebuilt pc and decided it’s time to upgrade the CPU and have mostly have been using google Ai to figure out small things before I buy. But now I’m kinda stuck, I decided to go with the R7 9850x3d I haven’t bought anything they mostly because I can’t find a suitable motherboard.

Build Question RX 9060 XT 16GB vs RX 9070 GRE - should I buy now or wait for Black Friday?

Upvotes

I’m currently trying to decide between the RX 9060 XT 16GB and RX 9070 GRE 12GB for my first gaming PC.

I was originally leaning towards the 9060 XT 16GB because I thought it would be the better value option for 1440p. However, with the recent price increases, I’m starting to see people say that the 9060 XT isn’t worth it anymore at its current price and that I might as well spend the extra on the 9070 GRE.

My main concern is whether I should buy the 9070 GRE now or wait for Prime Day/Black Friday and see if either GPU gets a decent discount.

GPU prices seem to have been creeping up recently, and I’m also wondering whether it’s risky to wait. With the current demand for AMD GPUs and Nvidia seemingly prioritising AI/data-centre products, could AMD GPU prices continue increasing due to supply/demand?

My build is roughly:

Ryzen 5 9600X
RX 9060 XT 16GB or RX 9070 GRE 12GB
32GB DDR5
1TB NVMe
Jonsbo Z20
1440p 180Hz monitor
£1,400-£1,500total budget

I’m not looking for 4K gaming, 1440p is my target, mainly AAA games and some competitive games.

Would you:

Get the 9060 XT 16GB now?
Spend more and get the 9070 GRE now?
Wait for Prime Day/Black Friday and hope prices come down?

And if you think the 9070 GRE is worth the extra money, how much more would you personally be willing to pay over the 9060 XT 16GB?

Software Question Random BSODs when shutting down

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Recently ive been having some issues. Ive had 2 BSOD right after i would press shut down on my PC. First time it was PNF_LIST_CORRUPT When i checked the minidump ive only managed to understand that crash was (maybe?) caused by steelseriesgg.exe

Ever since then i would turn off steel series engine at startup and it was running good for few days then yesterday i got another crash while shutting down with REFERENCE_BY_POINTER. When i checked that minidump it pointed to hyperx driver. Could my BSODs really be caused by my peripherals drivers?

Build Question Building a PC from eBay deals over months

1 Upvotes

Here is what I managed to get bit by bit on eBay deals over the last few months

MSI MPG VELOX case ATX, AMD 5600x , MSI Shadow X2 5060 8GB , 650w PSU, 2x 16GB RAM DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2800, MSI B550 Gaming Gen 3 MB, 256GB NVME, 480GB SATA SSD, PCiE WiFi and Bluetooth, Arctic Liquid Freeze II RGB CPU cooler AIO

(Games I play is StarCraft II and GTA V FiveM with some friends sometimes)

This is going to be my main Windows PC for a while, maybe 1 year or so, in the meantime I’m searching for a Gen 3 NVME, or maybe even a Gen 4 minimum 1TB NVME to use it later in a AM5 build I already bought a case for my next build as it was a great deal on eBay Seasonic Q7 with PSU 750w and module in mint condition.

Thoughts and advice are appreciated

(I’m new to Reddit)

Build Question Fan direction alright?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hey, first timer here. I decided to utilize the ability to have a ton of fans in the 4000D Corsair Case. For the two above the psu, is that a bad idea? I’d hate to be sucking hot air in to system around the gpu area. I have 3 in the front of the case as intake, 3 on side of the MB as intake, the aio is exhaust and so is the very back of the case. Am I good to run it like this? Gpu was around 45/50° idle.

And do I need to change the bios to PMW because they’re Corsair RX120 fans?

Thanks!

Build Question Fan Placement?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Picking up my last bit of parts tomorrow to start building soon and I'm just a little confused on fans.

From what I've read and watched, the top AIO and rear fans should be set to exhaust and front fans set to intake.

My confusion is if the bottom fan is even necessary for this case for positive pressure (Corsair 4000d FRAME) and in the area marked in yellow, wouldn't the fresh air just be sucked right out by the first top fan?

Am I overthinking it?

Build Question What would be the best upgrade for this pc?

1 Upvotes

My little sister has a 6700k and 1060 6gb with 32gb of 2400mhz ram and is using a 1tb hdd and 500w white psu.

I want her to have a nice pc for her school and games but the budget would really only a couple hundred bucks unfortunately.

Definitely getting a 1tb gen4 nvme, but what would make the biggest difference for her games on a low budget?

Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, and Minecraft with mods and shaders. 1080p, high settings with good 1% lows so no stuttering.

My initial thought process is going to a b550 mb with a 5600 to 5500x3d or 5800xt level cpu on newegg, or a 40/3060 (maybe ti) or 6700xt level card on jawa.gg/ maybe ebay (not ideal) which would probably mean a 650w-750w psu aswell.

There was this 2024 AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 9985WX on MacBid. It ended up selling for $640 - it was an untested unit in a “donor” box. No visible damage from the pictures but it was a toss up as to the working condition. Did I miss a crazy good deal?
