First time building a PC

Hi everyone, it's my first time building a PC so I'm naturally in need of some good advice. The PC will mainly be used for 3D modelling and rendering along with some gaming.

Currently I'm stuck between the following 3 options:

1- Ryzen 9 9950x with 5070 ti and 32gb ram

2- Ryzen 9 9900x with 5080 and 32gb ram

3- Ryzen 9 9900x with 5070 ti and 32+16 gb ram

All 3 options roughly amount to the same amount.

Thanks!

Need help, Looking for a pc case and motherboard for my dual gpu build

So im trying to build a dual gpu pc

Current chosen specs:

Ryzen 9 7900X

Rtx 5070 ti 16gb

Rtx 3060 12gb

1250W Gold 80+ modular psu

16gb DDR5 ram (1 stick)

Planning in the future to replace the 3060 with 5080 or other workstation gpu

My goal is to run local ai and game, i only need a case (with good airflow) and a motherboard.

For the case: im generally looking for a dual chamber case that's elevated in the bottom so i can put 3 bottom intake fans, 3 side intake fans and top 360mm AIO support and 1 back exhaust fan. and that's big enough to place a motherboard that has the 2 pcie slots (1 x16 and 1 x4) with space between them so i can comfortably stick 2 thick 5070ti or 5080 comfortably without choking it, and for the bottom gpu to need be right on top of the bottom intake fans.

Ofc it needs to be am5 with 4 ram slots and at least 2 m.2 slots and good vrm phases and cooling

Im in the admin land (israel) right now and going to Greece soon, i dont wanna pay huge prices for the case and mb, generally for the mb i want something thats more reasonable, less then 315 USD

And same with the case, idk about case pricing so i don't have an exact budget but i don't want something thats expensive for no reason, hope i can find some underdog cases that will fit my needs (if it comes with fans that would be great)

So what options should i get? If you can provide more then one I'll be happy

If you have other suggestions I'll be happy to listen! Thanks

WARZONE FPS

My build is Dark Hero z790, Intel i9 14900k astral 5090. I feel my fps is way too low when I play Warzone. When I’m loading in I get 200+ then in a match I get like 160ish but it jumps around from 170- 180. I play at 1440 on low settings. When I see others setup like mine, their fps are stable at 200+. I changed all the recommended settings. Idk am I tripping ?

Please rate my build!

Hey yall, I’d like some feedback on my build and if anyone can rate it and give me some suggestions on how to keep ambient temp low or if slight heat is normal especially since it’s an ITX build. Just wanna know overall if it’s actually a decent build for modern games mostly open world RPG’s and the like. Here’s also a small list of some games I’m playing if yall know how to get best graphical performance and keep frames decently high. (CRIMSON DESERT, Spider-Man 2, RE Franchise, Forza Horizon 6, FFVII Remake integrade, ETC…) p.s. my monitors Refresh Rate is 144 hz. Also should I be running games at native 4K or lower? I notice most games struggle at native 4K even with FSR on quality. So I tend to lower my resolution to 1440p and run things at High with Ray tracing and keep FSR set to quality. I’m just not confident in what I’m doing is all and if I’m actually getting the most my pc can deliver lol also listing some tuning and optimization I did (I used Ai for a lot of it so I’m not entirely sure if it’s the best I could’ve done lol)

Upgrade Path Suggestions

Hi all,

I currently have a system with following specification of my pc which I custom built in 2018 and it has served me well.

  1. Processor : Intel i5 9600K
  2. Motherboard: MSI z390 Gaming Edge AC wifi
  3. RAM : DDR4 64Gb
  4. Power supply: MSI MAG A850GLS PCIE5 Power Supply, 850W, 80 Plus Gold (upgraded this year-2026 from 650w to accommodate the GPU)
  5. GPU: MSI RTX3060 ventus 12gb (upgraded this year-2026)

I am planning to upgrade my system, want to reuse my 64Gb RAM cannot afford exorbitant prices of DDR5. Following components is what I am planning to upgrade. What do you think about this upgrade path? Stay with Intel ecosystem or AMD with DDR4?

  1. Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
  2. Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk

or

  1. Processor : intel 14th gen?
  2. Motherboard: ?? (I had trouble finding suitable motherboard as most of them did not make use of entire feature of 14th gen with DDR4)

Thanks for your suggestions. :)

Update: The PC is mostly used for productivity apps (video editing, 3D modelling and design, Scientific programming, Compiling, AI, VMs, Dockers)

Need help upgrading my components

Hi, guys, I am looking for upgrading componants of my pc ( 3060ti, 11th gen intel I9, 48go ddr4, and a biostar B560M silver ( hope it helps ) ), since i am willing to 3D animation and stuff, I will need a more performant pc, and i also wanted to have better performance in certain games.

My build idea was to hace a Ryzen 9 built on a B850 and something like a 4070/80 or 5070 ( i did not make my mind yet ). also if i can buy myselft DDR5 i think that it would be worth it.

900 dx build

My new build. Probably the nicest I've ever done! I have used my old pump and res as I'm having trouble finding info on a distro plate for the 900DX. This is the best case I've ever owned and ive been building pc's for years. A distro in here would be amazing. I want in the end to have a pc that looks like a med bay in a spaceship clean, clinical and white.

Any information would be greatly appreciated

My first gaming PC

Hi everyone,
I’m building my first gaming PC and I’ve already bought the following components:

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KF
Motherboard: MSI MPG Z790 EDGE TI MAX WIFI (DDR5)
PSU: Corsair SF850 (2024), 850W, 80+ Platinum, ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1

I’m now trying to figure out the best way to complete the build. I’m relatively new to PC building, so I’d really appreciate some advice on compatibility and what components would make the most sense with what I already have.

My main goal is high-quality 1440p gaming, preferably at high/ultra settings with high FPS. I’d like the system to be powerful and reasonably future-proof rather than buying parts that I’ll want to replace again soon.

In particular, I need recommendations for:

Graphics card – probably the biggest thing I’m unsure about. What GPU would you pair with a 14900KF for 1440p?
DDR5 RAM – capacity, speed and timings
CPU cooler/AIO – especially since I understand the 14900KF can run quite hot
NVMe SSD/storage
PC case with good airflow and enough space for everything

Any additional fans/accessories I should consider
And eventually a good 1440p high-refresh-rate monitor

I’d also appreciate it if someone could point out any compatibility issues with the parts I’ve already purchased, particularly the PSU size/cables, motherboard, cooler, case and whichever GPU I end up choosing.

I’m not necessarily looking for the absolute cheapest build. I’d rather spend sensibly on good-quality components that complement each other without wasting money on things that won’t make a noticeable difference in gaming.

If you were completing this build yourself in 2026, what exact parts would you buy?

Thanks!
