I have r7 5800x and 32 GB ddr4 ram

I want to play games in 1440 p 240hz

My budget is 650€ and I live in Germany.

I also mainly play fh5 and about to play fh6.

Currently I'm playing on a Xbox series S.

I'm planning to get something for ~$600 for general use, coding, AI, CAD, and some gaming. Is this a good, balanced build, and okay price-wise. My deadline to build is June mid so I can wait it out too.

I'm buying a pc with GPU rtx 5060 I got two choices with the same price but different CPU Ryzen 7 5700 or i5 12400f ( the GPU for the Intel is overlocked) so please guys can you help me to make this choice

i'll be switching my case to a y70 soon, but i only have 9 fans, which fan could i leave out for a bit before i can get that last fan that will have the least amount of impact on thermals?

i'm thinking i'll just take one exhaust fan off the top so i'll have 3 bottom and 3 front intake, 2 top exhaust and 1 back exhaust, then i'll buy a 140 later on to put on the back exhaust and put the old back exhaust fan back on the top rack

How would you improve this build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lsf3ZQ

Any feedback welcome this is only my 2nd build. Feel free to save me money if you think something is unnecessary as well.

I am a university student trying to upgrade my PC. I have an rtx 3080 10gb, but with 4k gaming and low vram, it does not perform great, especially with PCVR its unplayable for most games, I need an upgrade.
However, the upgrade I wanted (5070 ti) has raised in price. Its at 1400 CAD right now minimum. While I can save for this, by the time I get that money from my part time job, the 5070 ti will be out of stock or 2000+ dollars, so unless I can magically create 1500 CAD this month, I'm too late for the 5070 ti.

The only option left is the notorious 9070 XT or smth like the 7900 xtx or xt
on paper they perfom well, have good vram, and are less than 1500 which is probably my max budget for a card.
The issue is everyone says AMD is garbage. No matter where i go, I only see people saying you should avoid AMD at all costs, it makes me really contemplate whether I should stay with my card, or just drop my entire life savings on whatever overpriced nvidia card exists, like spending 3k on a 5080 or selling my car and buying a 5090.

I want to switch but all the doom and gloom about amd makes me rather pull out all of my savings and buy once cry once an nvidia card because at least theyre consistent

Also, I play PCVR, and I heard that AMD is terrible for VR so wondering if this is true

Same pricing....what should I choose with 9070xt

Hi everyone, i'm planning on building my first pc for gaming in 1440p and i wanted to get some opinions on the parts i picked out. I'm also looking for good 1440p monitor recommendations for under $250.

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X

Motherboard: MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI6E or Asus TUF GAMING B850M-PLUS II

RAM: Kingston 16GB DDR5 6000MHz cl36 Kit(2x8GB)

Cross posting this to see what y'all in PC builds think! Obv you may not know the specific game and that's fine, I'm just looking for general impressions

Or... which one are you using? I'm about to build a white PC with Ryzen 7 8700F processor and RX 9060XT GPU and I've been looking online to find some good quality CPU coolers that's around 5-10k pesos. The local shop I asked recommended Jungle Leopard Stellar Realm RS 240 (2,750), but I want an LCD where I can put GIFs. Please recommend some good ones you've used!

I've collected a few I found mostly from Google. Lemme know if any of these are actually worth it pleaseeeeeeeee! Litong lito na ako! T_T >>> AIO with LCD Screen: Which One Would You Pick?

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE
• GPU: PowerColor RX 9060 XT Reaper 16GB
• Motherboard: ASRock B650 Pro RS
• RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL30 32GB
• SSD: Kingston NV3 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
• PSU: Corsair RM750e 750W 80+ Gold
• Case: Montech AIR 903 Base
• This is everything i have in my cart right now and i do not know if its worth it to buy since 2 people told me the gpu bottlenecks the cpu since the cpu is too good but i dont want to downgrade the cpu. and i dont know if i should upgrade the gpu since im going to play games like ark survival evolved. my current pc doesnt even have a gpu it can barely run roblox so i hope you can see why im asking for help 😭 thank you

Need help

Good morning people,

I am currently looking into buying a 9070xt. Preferably in white to match my build. This is my first build and I have been seeing so many different versions of the 9070xt and it just boggles my mind.

Can anyone recommend me a good version of the 9070xt that isn’t midrange. I know the hellhound is almost if not at the top performers.

Hii! This is my first time getting any type of pc so I’m super inexperienced. I did very basic research on these parts and I’ve got a basic understanding of the functions of each part, but I’m not sure what makes them good or bad. Could I get some feedback on this list? I’m happy to change any component. I’m looking to play pretty big games with good graphics and also hoping to heavily mod TS4. I’m sorry in advance if I’ve got it all wrong and the parts I’ve chosen don’t work together.. :( thank you! (also I’m not sure if this link will work but I’ll try anyway.)

Hey everyone,

I’m finishing my first serious high-end PC build and I’d love some honest feedback before I lock everything in.
Main goal: 1440p high refresh gaming, multitasking, productivity, and maybe some light AI/content creation later.

What do you think?

Is this build well balanced or did I go too hard on some parts?

Should I upgrade to 64GB RAM, add extra fans, or change anything before building it?

Also curious if the Dark Rock Pro 5 is enough for the 9800X3D and if 850W is the right PSU choice.

Roast it, rate it, or tell me what you’d change.

Hey

So I upgraded my PC after my Ryzen 5 3600X was bottlenecking my GPU for years

Here are my old/new components:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X -> AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | 240 EUR
• CPU Cooler: Stock AMD -> be quiet! Pure Rock Pro 3 | 45 EUR
• GPU: RTX 3060 Ti (8GB) -> RTX 4070 Super (12GB) | 450 EUR
• RAM: G Skill Trident Z 4x 8GB DDR4 CL16/3200 -> Kingston Fury Beast 2x 16GB DDR5 CL32/6400 | 260 EUR
• Motherboard: ROG Strix B 450f Gaming -> ASUS TUF Gaming B650 Plus | 135 EUR
• PSU: Corsair RX650x -> be quiet! Pure Power 12 650W | 75 EUR

I still have my combined 1.5TB of NVMe SSD and I also switched my case and now have a be quiet! Pure Base 501 with 4 instead of my 2 previous fans.

Did I make good choices?

Hello, my current pc is ryzen 5 5500, gtx 1650 , 16gb ram 3200 ddr4. Im planning to upgrade to rx 9070xt , AMD Ryzen 5 7600X , ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Motherboard Micro ATX ,Thermaltake TR2 S 750W (ram is undecided yet) .I will keep the same ssd since its just fine I believe and also I want to know if my current cooler from ryzen 5 5500 is compitible with the new cpu if not I will buy a new cooler. Now im not really good with building pc but for the price that its coming in my country(Greece) its not awful. I'm looking for any advice and maybe alternatives that are better for around the same price. Is this a worth upgrade and are the part compatible with each other?? my budget is 1000 euros. Im looking to run games at 1440p and with ray tracing if possible. (example games wuwa,nte,elden ring,exp33). I have all the links of the parts that im buying if needed. Thanks
