*edit* FIXED Faulty cables borrowed some from a friends thanks for your help 😄

I recently started building a new pc because i wanted to upgrade from a laptop I bought most of my components second hand from ebay but i got the motherboard from currys and the PSU from Amazon and no matter what i do it will not start.

the parts

motherboard :MSI MAG B760 TOMAHAWK WIFI

PSU: MSI MAG A750 GL PCIE5

CPU: INTEL CORE I7-13600KF

GPU: MSI GEAFORCE RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X

RAM: 1X 16GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5

STORAGE: KINGSTON 1TB SSD

I have returned the motherboard twice now due to delivery damage and picked it up from the store to ensure nothing went wrong. i have had all the second hand parts tested at a computer repair shop and every piece works perfectly fine. I done the paperclip test on the PSU and it works but when I put everything together nothing. the GPU fans don't turn on the ram doesn't light up PSU fans don't turn the boot light doesn't turn on I have tried with my case power switch and tried to short it with a screw driver but my monitor still reads not connected please help this is really screwing with me

thanks

pls help me build a pc I will take anything my sis spilled water on my old laptop, but my parents won't get me a new one because she is the favorite

Upgraded graphics card, CPU and display but I'm worried I maybe should've gone with a AM5 cpu instead and might have buyer's remorse.

Previous Build:

RTX 3060TI

Ryzen 7 3700X

2x16gb ram DDR4 3200 MHz

MSI B550 Gaming Plus Motherboard

Corsair 650W PSU

1080p 27"

New Build has the following new items:

RTX 5070

Ryzen 7 5700X3D

Alienware AW3425D5 3440 x 1440 34" OLED Display

I've added the 5070 and switched out displays so far, but before switching out my CPU I had simple games like Fortnite crash (but this was on the highest possible settings with DLSS set to quality). Is my CPU choice going to be good enough to keep up with ultrawide 1440p gaming for the next few years? I went with this CPU to save some money on not getting a brand-new mother board too and eventual ram upgrade to DDR5 but maybe that was a mistake

Hi! Not sure if this is the right Reddit to post in. Wanted to ask some folks about PC options, monitors, etc to make a new setup. What are cheaper yet highly effective PC builds I could order online or something already made that allow me to:

1. play Minecraft and wizard101 sans lag
2. use solidworks and other CAD programming
3. write entire novels :P
4. handle extensive lab reports
5. attach various softwares via plug ins to accomplish things in the realm of bioinformatics, or things such as an IDE with analytical toolkits like PyCharm or Jupyter Lab
6. will last me a very long time and I could easily replace things that break within cost efficiency reasoning (I have friends who build PCs and could help with this bit as I learn).
7. allows me to run more complex production software for making music (and mastering). Has maybe physical spaces on it for attaching things like a microphone, or anything related to ensuring proper audio interface hardware, DAWs idk even instrument plug in devices?

I appreciate any advice and my apologies if I didn’t word something right. I am still learning and breaking into these areas of interest and figure it’s time to invest in some good equipment, I just want to try to avoid breaking the bank if I can!

Hey everyone! I already have an RTX 3070 Ti and I'm looking to build a full PC around it on a 500–600 euro budget (excluding the GPU).This will be primarily a gaming PC — about 90% of the time I'll be playing Dota 2 and CS2. The other 10% is light programming work, occasionally spinning up a virtual machine for personal dev projects, but nothing too demanding in terms of RAM or computing power. If possible, i want to buy all the parts from one place, an option for the country i am in is https://www.pcgarage.ro/

Any help or suggested configs would be greatly appreciated!
