Thank you in advance for all the comments as I know this probably gets asked everyday.

After many many hours and days of research I feel like I'm not getting very far as there's too many factors I don't know about. The pc will be used for games like Overwatch and other multiplayer games. Single player games will be played as well, I don't mind cranking the settings down a bit, as long as the games are super smooth. Will be playing at 1440p. I've already bought the Ryzen 7800x3d and I'm looking for other parts to get urgently before the price goes up even more than it has. Apparently the 7090 has gone up £100 since last month. Here's what I had in mind:

CPU: Ryzen 7800x3d £150 (Ali express)

Motherboard: Sapphire Nitro/pure B850A ~£140 (scan/OCUK)

Cooler: No idea. Thermalright seems to be recommended a lot ~£30

GPU: Sapphire Radeon 9070 pure/Nitro £600. (scan/oc)

Ram: 32gb. Current pricing for 6000mghz cl30 is around £380-£400. Don't know if 16Gb would be enough

SSD: 1TB, no idea what brand, need help, whatever is cheapest and works well £100-120

PSU: Again no clue, haven't got round to researching it yet

Case: Would like a good fish tank but don't want to take money from other parts. ~£70?

Monitor: 1440p Tandem OLED if I can save money elsewhere £350-£500

Alternatives I need advice on:

Xfx quicksilver 7090 XT £630, used but 5 year warranty

Powercolor reaper 9070 £560, used but 5 year warranty

WD 1tb nmve SN850x £120, same as above

Went for sapphire mainly for reliability and because I've read too many bad things about the other brands for these specific parts on these forums. I prefer reliability and quietness over outright performance. Just want something that works without having to constantly tinker with it. Don't want to pay for things I don't need. Any advice is welcome. Thank you

Hi, i am currently running:

I3-12100f
RTX3060 12GB
2x16 CL18 3600 DDR 4
B660M DS3H

Using for gaming in 1080p 24” right now but i want to jump for 1440p gaming and there is a question is there any sensible way to upgrade this PC for lets say 1000-1500$?

I am an avid gamer and have a decent understanding of what good pc specs are, eg. 50 series graphics card, 32gb of ram etc, but I don't really know what the best budget options are. My girlfriend wants to get more into gaming, but she mostly plays fallout and Skyrim and wants to play more settlement building games so she doesn't need anything top of the line. What is a good point to start at so we can get her a pc that does everything she needs, but isn't too expensive?

Got this pc a while ago, but whenever I play games it gets super loud. My friend said it's because I only have 2 fans. How many fans should I get, and how many?

Basically the title,
I am upgrading my PC, I am moving to AM5.
I have everything else, just not the motherboard.

I was gonna get the Asus Tuf X870E
But then I got into the nitty gritty over ports and whether I need a discreet trusted platform module (dTPM)or not
Then I looked at MSI’s MAG & Tomahawk.
Then the ROG crosshair, Gigabyte aorus elite.

Then I got choice paralysis.

Please help

I’ve been thinking about switching from ps5 to pc, was wondering if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations ?
if you think it’s a good idea, what’s the cheapest CPU and GPU options to have a similar experience to PS5 especially with playing COD.

I’m totally surprised by the new prices of ps5 console and don’t know how it’s going to look like when ps6 is released, anyway it looks to me a more reasonable option to switch to pc considering I can use pc for other stuff other than gaming and it’s easily upgradable.

here’s my specs
ryzen 5 5600
rtx 3060ti
32gb ddr4 3600mhz
1tb nvme ssd
650watt bronze
1440p 180hz monitor

Hi, I’d really like to upgrade my PC, but I’m not really sure what I should change, and gaming on it is becoming quite difficult.

RAM : Kingston FURY Beast 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4

Motherboard : MSI B550-A PRO (AMD AM4, DDR4, M.2, USB 3.2 Gen 2, HDMI, ATX)

CPU : AMD Ryzen 5 5600 

Alimentation : MSI MAG A650BN

GPU : XFX AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 Go GDDR6

How can i upgrade this ?

Thanks in advance :)

I have a 10400 and a 3070, and want to upgrade to a 14600K meaning I also need a new motherboard and cpu cooler. All together the upgrade would be about $600-700 CAD and still be with 3070.

Im wondering if this upgrade will be a big enough difference in gaming in 1440p that its worth the $600 to save for a new build later down the line. or should i just invest $3k-$3.5k for a new pc with ryzen right now

I'm planning to get a 1440p oled with this pc, but i'm not sure if i should just get a 1080p monitor instead. I'm also wondering that if i can run games in 1080p on a 1440p monitor. https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/YKYL4g

PC specs : MSI B560M Pro E, i5 11400f, RTX 3050 8gb, 16gb DDR4 3200mhz Ram(8*2), M.2 NVME 256gb SSD, 1tb HD.
My PC Freeze and then restart to bios or BSOD sometimes while playing games or at heavy load i searched for a while and did try some solutions but still it crashes i noticed that when it restarts to bios in storage SSD in not shown and when closing bios it goes back to bios until i switch off everything and switch back on after 2 mins or so then it boots normally, I have updated bios and SSD firmware and also Nvidia drivers using DDU to uninstall and installing it manually with clean installation and all the components are under perfect temp and well firmly seated, can anyone Help in this matter still facing same issue.

I’ve always wanted to play on pc and recently I moved back to it after getting a new gaming laptop. My only problem is that despite not doing a lot of gaming I still wish to have over 200fps in warzone and over 120fps in AAA titles.

I’m not looking to build something that can handle every game at 4k just something that is good for competitive and 1440p gaming (I play 1080p rn and don’t mind it).

I’m homeless rn but I’ll be getting my own place within the next couple of months and I plan on building one then. I don’t have any idea on what I’m doing tho. All the videos that go into detail about CPU and GPU confuse the shit out of me ngl. My laptop has a 5060 and it handles everything I need it too (just wished I could get more frames for warzone). I looked into a 4070 ti and a 4080 but not sure which is better for the price.

I’d really like some suggestions or possibly more explanations about CPU and GPU cause I’d really like to learn this stuff.

I've been looking into building my first PC for a bit now, and have compiled a list of components: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9wzkjG

I'm looking to build a 1440p 240hz PC for the following:
• Gaming
• Sim Racing
• Live Streaming/Recording Gameplay
• Video Editing
I'm from the US and my Budget it around $1500-$1800.

With all that being said, I have a couple of questions before buying my parts:
1. Are all of my parts compatible with one another? I'm pretty sure they are, but you can never be too careful!
2. Is the PC itself any good? Is it going to accomplish what I want it to? If not, what can I change?
3. Where in my build can I save money?
4. Is my PC going to be easily upgradable in the future?

Any and all advice is much appreciated! I'm also looking for a good 1440p 240hz gaming monitor, so any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks for the help!

Hi, I need some help. I’ve had a gaming PC for 2–3 years now with the following specs:

B650 + Wi-Fi

32 GB of 5600 MHz RAM

Gigabyte 4080 Super

AMD 7800X3D

AK 600 Digital CPU cooler

I always keep my PC up to date, especially the drivers, but also the applications. I clean it regularly with an air blower.

I let the Nvidia app adjust the settings for my games, and yet, in some games like War Thunder, I experience micro-freezes and can’t get past 40 or 70 FPS. In other games like Assassin’s Creed, the game crashes suddenly.

I should also mention that until recently, I had a 31-inch 4K LCD monitor running at 60 Hz.

So, does the 60 Hz rate cause issues with my PC, since it would be limiting my PC, which is capable of running at much higher refresh rates?
