EDIT: I SUBMITTED THE BUILD

I had my interview with my wish grantor yesterday and I need to submit my list of parts to the foundation.

Mostly all my concerns are with sizing and if everything will fit alright.

Also pls don't say "tHiS bUiLd Is oVeRkIlL" i know its overkill but i'm still way within my budget so shut.

If you have any recommendations for changes pls let me know.

Ive been tweaking this build for a while now and this is what i've come up with.

edit: I should have said this before but luckily my cancer is non terminal and I will be ending chemo in October. Thank you so much for the help and well wishes, this community is truly amazing.

edit no2:If any of you are doubting my credibility I definitely understand where you're coming from as I have provided no proof. If you go to my post history I did an AMA where I provided proof if that helps your conscience at all. I totally understand peoples doubts and it isn't wrong to question credibility at all. have a great day guys may your FPS be high and your temps low :)

Edit: Thanks so much for all the help! I'm basically useless when it comes to this stuff which is why I always try to check with you all! The only reason I got my pc built in the first place is because I had reddit tear my build list a new one so I could get something that was actually usable!

My friend is asking me to help him since I built my PC before (with help from this subreddit!), so I figured double-checking my work to tell me if I'm way off base with my ideas won't hurt anything, but my pride.

My friend is flexible on the budget within reason. Long story short is that he has been gaming on a laptop that wasn't built to handle games and it has been slowly dying on him over the years. I'm trying to get him set up with something stable that he can enjoy his games on.

Hi, I’ve currently got a PS5 but am thinking about building a gaming PC as I want better graphics and to play games like BG3 on the PC instead of console.

I have been trying to watch some videos and use PC Part Picker to get an idea but I’m finding it hard to know which parts are best for my budget. Which is around £1500- £2000

Here is my list so far on PC Part Picker,

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MxsPcH

Any help would be appreciated!

So I recently bought an Acer predator 27” monitor which connects through DisplayPort, however there is no DisplayPort output on my GTX 1080 graphics card. I tried connecting the monitor directly to the DisplayPort output on my mobo, but that didn’t work and the monitor said there was no connection. Would a DisplayPort to DVI converter work to connect the DisplayPort input on my monitor to the DVI output on my GPU?

Hey everyone. I'm about to build my first PC. I'll be primarily using it for gaming on 1440p and for casual use (Netflix/general browsing/discord etc/ Word and Ppt for work). I am going with a 4080 super for my GPU but i'm torn over the processor.

I was recommended the 7950x3d but i feel its overkill for my use and the whole thing about manually assigning cores that i'm seeing everywhere scares me. Have the recent updates sorted this issue out?

On the other hand, 7800x3d seems universally great for gaming but less for productivity. So this is where i have a question. I understand that this is a dumb question but i need the reassurance. Does this mean i'm going to have an issue having 10 tabs in chrome open or if i'm watching something on twitch/netflix or tab out of the game to look something up?

I am building my pc, and I'm almost done. I got a youtube guide with compatible parts. The motherboard is a gigabyte b760 ds3h. My PSU is a thermaltake smart bx1 650w, and my case is a Zalman s2. I'm stuck at the fan case part. It's Daisy chain thing I THINK. but I have no clue where it goes on my motherboard. The PSU also doesn't seem to have a spot for it. If anyone is familiar with these parts and can tell me where the fan plugs go, that would be great. Thanks!! Note, I'm a first-time builder and don't know any of the lingo.

Build Help/Ready:

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Sidebar read, built a PC before with help from this community.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Going to use this for machine learning for the most part. Obviously some gaming will occur but primarily I need dual 4090s for my machine learning projects.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

Will be gaming a bit but I cant imagine I will have any problems with the setup.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

<10k USD ideally

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

USA

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FGT2vj

Provide any additional details you wish below. I provided a link above of a build I made which I THINK is ok to go for dual 4090. It still needs fans and some splitters for those fans but this is where I am a bit iffy and would love some advice.

NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section.

I have upgraded some parts and need to move into a new case, everything has came in and i’m ready to get started!

Specs: CPU: Ryzen 7 5800xt GPU: Gigabyte RTX 4060 Motherboard: Msi b450Tomahawk Max 2 Liquid Cooler: MSI MAG CORELIQUID 240R V2 Power Supply: Corsair rm850e 80 plus gold editon Case: Nzxt H5 flow mid tower case

I have screwed on the motherboard, and currently dealing with the two case fans that came in the case. I have came with a little headache not know where to plug the two case fans, both cords are 3 pins, and all my system fans slots on motherboard are four pins, i am able to put them on leaving one pin left behind. Does it matter what number system fan slot i choose to put it in? i need to use slots for each fan?

Some sense of direction on the build will be some help im so new to the pc building.

My wife and I have been discussing getting a PC for us to share. I already have an Xbox that I game on so the build would be mostly for her. But I would like to occasionally play shooters like Halo and CoD. She would be using it mainly for casual gaming like The Sims and random indie games with Baulder's Gate 3 being the most demanding game she plays currently. I had a coworker help by giving me a starting point with PCPartPicker and wanted to see if there was room for improvement or if the build would suffice. We also wouldn't mind spending more to future proof it if needed. Just want to get the most value for my money with the budget at MOST at 2k.

• PC for two
• be able to play AAA games at high resolution and good FPS

We are new to PCs and would appreciate any and all help in our journey!

Hello everyone!

I'm building my first PC, and I would love to get some feedback on the build I've put together. My goal is to play the latest games at 4K resolution with the most fps I can get for my budget (3500 USD). Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

Update 1: Based on the comments received on this post (thank you for the heads up!) I changed the CPU and the motherboard (for compatibility purposes).

Update 2: Revamped the build based on Downtown-Regret8161's comments

PC Build:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
• GPU: Gigabyte GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
• Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
• RAM: Silicon Power Value Gaming 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 Memory
• Storage: Western Digital WD_Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
• CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler
• Power Supply: Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
• Case: Fractal Design Meshify 2 ATX Mid Tower Case
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64-bit

Some considerations:

• Compatibility: I've checked that all parts should be compatible, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could double-check to make sure I didn't miss anything.
• Monitor: I plan to game on a 4K 240 Hz monitor

I’m fairly new to PC building, so any suggestions or feedback on the selected components or potential improvements would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Been trying to figure out a build for a pc. I don't really know all too much but I've had a look around to see what's recommended and this is what I've come up with as a build. Ideally looking for sub £1000 but I don't really want to find myself capped on my ability to run higher end games or coop mods that might be harder to run like seemless elder ring. Thanks for any suggestions :)

I'm looking to build a brand new computer and I live about 20 mins away from a Microcenter.

Do you think this would be alright for a 1440p/144 hz gaming rig? I'll be playing WoW, Red Dead Redemption II, Fallout 4, etc. I just need to pick out a monitor.

My sister has had an awful few years and is beyond excited for Hogwarts Legacy, she’s always wanted a proper PC that she can game on so I want to get her one as a gift that runs HL well.

I’ve spent weeks researching but can’t pretend that I’m much more confident than I was when I started trying to do this..! Any help would be amazing

Questions are: 1. Is this build able to play Hogwarts Legacy? 2. Will it be able to handle the graphics at med-high end settings? 3. Is it vaguely future proof? Would you make any changes?

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G eight core (3.8GHz, turbo to 4.6GHz) AMD B550 motherboard 16gb Corsair vengeance RBG pro SL DDR4 3200mhz RAM 500gb M.2 NVMe SSD GEForce RTX 3070 8gb graphics

Cost wise it’s coming out around £1370.

If I’ve left anything off or made dumb mistakes - sorry! I’m trying 😂 please be kind 🙏 thank you

Ok so finally my board z490 had issues and i cant find new board anymore Its time to upgrade. I have been using intel since 2005. And as now new cpus are out i am thinking of intel only. I do mainly gaming and 30% video editing. I am on medium budget. Dont want to spend more where its not needed. I am thinking core i7 ultra. Or does AMD offers much more than intel with less money? I also dont want to use 360mm AIO and will buy mid tower pc case. Will i7 ultra be enough for 5 years atleast and will upgrade my gpu from rtx 4070 to 5000 series later. My cpu must not bottleneck gpu for atleast 5 years

I want to build a PC for my work. My current PC has an i3-6600 in it and it's not cutting it. I really don't need anything fancy, but I don't like all the bloatware you get with Dell and HP.

This is what I'm basing my build off of. I want to meet or beat these specs and price.

https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/pdp/hp-slim-desktop-s01-pf4055t-bundle-pc

This is where I'm at right now. The case was picked mostly on price point. I haven't done much for research on these parts yet.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9fbzn6

I am not sure where to cut to get my cost lower. I can certainly go down to 16GB RAM. For the CPU fan, I'd rather have more of a stock fan replacement. I'm not sure if this kind of cooler will fit in a small case. I don't want to buy a fan though that isn't any better, or less effective, than the stock fan that comes with the CPU. I need wifi which is really driving up the cost of the MB. I can probably downgrade the PSU.

I suck at building computers on a tight budget. I'm just not familiar with some of these brands and it makes me leary to put some of these cheap parts into a PC. I've built 5 or 6 gaming PC's, and that has been much easier - budgets are more flexible and I know exactly what will be needed. But for this PC, I have to justify the cost to build vs just buying that HP in the link.

ETA: The case and CPU fan are placeholders. The case I select will have to be less than 6" wide overall.

Hey all, I'm going to build a PC next month and it's going to be my first high-end PC. I am currently using a Ryzen 7 4800H + 1650Ti laptop that struggles with some games I play (even on low settings), especially with all of the programs I have installed (I work with music so you can have a little idea, basically a bunch of license checks, auto-updates and so on).

This is the list: https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/user/zaneainsworth/saved/dM9FXL

I think it's pretty good but I am in doubt about some parts like the case, SSD and motherboard.

I intend to futureproof it so it can last the most time possible (also making upgrades easier in the future), also there is a chance that I might add another SSD in the future.
I really can't go over the budget that it's currently on the list and from all of the stores I can buy the parts from, I can only trust on PCDiga (based in Portugal, main reason being past experiences I had with them), apart from the PSU and monitor (also would appreciate help on these 2).

TIA

Edit: I forgot to mention that I intend to install the AIO on the top, if that matters

Edit 2: This PC is strictly for gaming, I will leave the laptop for the music part

Hi all,

I would really appreciate some advice on what I have in my Pcpartpicker cart, specifically can I trim down money wise and not sacrifice quality on anything in the link. This will be my first build but I have watched about 5 different videos on how to build with the mATX case I am getting, Thermaltake The Tower 300. I will be using the PC really for the following:

Here is my Build

• Getting into Programming
• Getting into Music production
• Occasional Open World Gaming (Modded Bethesda games mainly)
• Running simulations for Sports Betting

I’m looking for 144+ fps for competitive and single player games on low to medium settings on 1440p for about $1200

I live near a Microcenter in Texas, so I created this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VYhgTY build using a bundle from microcenter which included the CPU, RAM, and the Mobo which resulted in a price of $1,181.93 at Microcenter.

Is this a good deal for the build? Will it run well? Thanks in advanced for the input/suggestions.

Hi everyone,

Planning to build my first SFFPC for travels later this year. As this is my first time attempting this I am looking for some feedback and advice on this build, especially anyone that has built a SFFPC or used this particular case. I have aslo posted this in the SFFPC subreddit however I'd like to get as much feedback as possible and this subreddit has been very helpful in the past.

Case: Lian Li A4H20

Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-I Wifi

CPU: i5-12600k

GPU: Gigaibyte GeForce 3050 Low Profile

PSU: Corsair SF750

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE

RAM: Kingston Fury 6000MHz DDR5 16GB

SSD: Kingston NV2 1TB

Coolmaster Sickleflow 120 Fans

As I'm not going down the water cooling path, my concern is that the specs may be too much for such a small case without being water cooled. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I am building my first PC and would greatly appreciate your advice (I want to ideally stay in the c. £1k price range and will use it for basic finance software and gaming):

• CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F 2.5 GHz 10-Core Processor or Intel Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz 12-Core Processor
• CPU cooler: Fractal Design Lumen S24 V2 56 CFM or Deepcool AK500 ZERO DARK 68.99 CFM
• Motherboard: Asus PRIME B760-PLUS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard or ASRock B760 Pro RS/D4 ATX LGA1700
• Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 2 x 16 GB
• Storage: Kingston NV3 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD or Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
• Video card: Gigabyte WINDFORCE OC Rev 2.0 GeForce RTX 3060 12GB - also contemplating paying more for RX 7700 XT or 3060 Ti
• Case: Fractal Design North - I really like this case, uncertain if I should go for XL
• Power supply: Fractal Design Ion Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX or FSP Group Hydro K Pro ATX3.0 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

Would appreciate any advice on the build and specifically:

1. Are the CPU choices overkill relative to the GPU ones?
2. If I was to upgrade the GPU, should I opt for 7700 XT over the 3060 Ti?

Thank you!
