Hey guys,

I’m looking to build a gaming desktop mainly for 1440p gaming at high/ultra settings with good FPS.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been doing some research and the RX 9070 XT + Ryzen 7 7800X3D seems to be one of the best combinations for what I’m looking for.

My budget is around AED 7,500 for the complete PC build.

Is there any better CPU/GPU combination I should consider within a similar budget? I’m open to both AMD and NVIDIA.

Also, if anyone has recently built a similar PC in Dubai/UAE, please share your specs and where you bought the parts from.

Thanks!

So after the recent Sony news, I was considering moving to pc gaming. But then, I realized

I have no clue what I’m doing!

So I was just wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on what parts to get for a pc for like, idk, semi high level gaming? Like I’m not going to be playing like gta6 level graphics but I wanna still be able to play like marvel rivals, Jurassic world evolution 3, games like that.

Preferably somewhere around $1300-1400 usd but if less or a little more that’s ok I just need help with a baseline really

And if possible a good monitor too my current one sucks so yeah

(Also sorry if this is worded badly I’ve barely used Reddit before so mb)

I would love to get some help finalizing my options in the build, or maybe finding alternative options, if possible or would make sense.. I am a bit limited for what is in stock in the store I am buying it from. I will note which parts.

Specs:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
  • ( was looking at 9850x3d, but it seems to run more wattage, higher temps and not big uplift and price increase by 70€ )
• CPU Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
  • ( originally planned air cooler, but most suggestions ( noctua, thermalright, peerless assassin were not available, the only available was like be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5, is there any better AIOs then this one ? )
• Motherboard: ASUS TUF GAMING X870-PRO WIFI7 W NEO
  • ( limited to ASUS or Gigabyte options, suggestion was given for B850 or X870, this is where I am struggling the most on what to choose )
• Memory: Kingston FURY Beast Black EXPO 2x16GB 6000 CL30 or G.Skill Ripjaws S5 2x16GB 6000 CL30
  • ( suggested 6000mhz CL30, for 32gb total ram, if there is any better options lmk )
• Storage: 2x Samsung 9100 PRO 2TB or Crucial T500 2TB
  • ( samsung is a bit on the higher price side, so any other suggestions would be nice aiming for 2x2TB, unless it would be better to go for 1x 4TB or just 1x 2TB since prices are crazy )
• GPU: ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5080 OC Edition or GIGABYTE GAMING OC RTX 5080
  • ( limited to ASUS or Gigabyte options, other models available: ROG Astral, AORUS Master ICE, Asus PRIME, AERO OC, WINDFORCE OC SFF )
• Case: be quiet! Pure Base 600
  • ( i am open to any other cases with good airflow, i had some suggestions about Fractal or Lian Li but they are not available in the store - Most cases that are available are from brands like ASUS, Antec, COUGAR, Corsair FRAME, Phanteks, Be quiet! )
• PSU: Corsair HX1000i 1000W Platinum or be quiet! Dark Power 14 1000W Titanium
  • ( aimed for 1000W, with this two showing up price difference is all but 12€, if anyone knows the quality of either how they fair or alternatives )

Dear all,

I’m looking to move to a gaming PC, the budget is £2k.

Looking to play games in high quality.

I've only ever had laptops, and 6 years ago I bought an msi gs66 stealth 2070 max. I've been happy with it ever since, but I've noticed with games coming out lately that my graphics card is slowly being left behind. So I thought I should go ahead and build a pc. I set myself a budget of 3,000 euros. I'll buy components every month or every other month once I've reached a conclusion. Here's what I've come up with so far:

- CPU: Ryzen 7 9800X3D (397€)

- GPU: ASUS Prime RTX 5070 Ti OC (930€)

- Board: MSI B850 Tomahawk Wifi (189€)

- PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-850 (121€)

- Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 (92€)

- Case: Fractal Pop 2 Air Solid (83€)

- Monitor (Bought): Legion 27Q-11 (184€)

I chose a closed case since I don't like tempered glass. I also don't want RGB, not a fan of it. Just personal preference. PC would sit on the floor, no carpet and I clean my flat once a week, so dust is not an issue for me.

Both RAM and SSD are not in this list on purpose, since prices are exaggerated as we all know. So whenever a sale pops up, I may consider getting any of both. I'm of course open for recommendations!

I enjoy playing solo games, fromsoft, capcom, lies of p, kojima's games. I also design and develop using unity and blender, so this pc would be used for both gaming and dev work.

I'm open for suggestions, opinions, and would be happy to change components in case someone thinks of something better. I must mention, I don't intend to switch pc components in 6-10 years, therefore I'm going a bit overkill with my options. I don't feel like dealing with switching parts every 2-3 years.

EDIT: I'm in Germany

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I'm looking to build a dedicated server/PC that can host multiple games for my cousins and nephews. What components are a must? Do I need a GPU? how much RAM... I know nothing about hosting

Some of the games they play are:

SoulMask

Heavily modded minecraft

Palworld

Ark

I would like to keep the budget under $700.

And passed the actual equipment any idea how I would be able to remotely manage it? And any idea if I'll have to purchase each game (again) in order to host a server for it?

Hi! I just got a DJI Mini Pro 5 drone for work and quickly learned that while it takes amazing videos, I don't have the means to edit them.

I tried using Divinci Resolve on a $400 dollar laptop. It didnt work well, although I am feeling confident I can learn the program (I managed to throw together an OK video with nice transitions, added music, text, etc).

My budget is $1200 with peripherals. I honestly don't know if that's even doable? I know the price of RAM cards is skyrocketing. I also don't know if I personally can "build" anything, but I'm looking for info anyway.

I have read through a couple of posts about builds for Divinci Resolve and video editing, but they seem to be either requests for gaming too, or the budgets are much greater than mine (a recurring clue).

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm learning, but most of what I find that I think would work well is 2-3k+ and despite my best efforts, is confusing. I am looking for minimum requirements to efficiently run the Divinci Resolve program and to make promotional videos for social media.

I'm near Portland, Or.

I am also a lurker of Reddit, but have never posted anything. Please forgive me if I didn't get this right, I was alive before the internet was in everybody's pockets, haha. Thank you.

Decided to go for pc. Help me out to get the best things in this range. Thank you :)

Hello!

I'm looking to build my first PC primarily for gaming, but I also do some Blender (nothing too intense) and CAD so I preferably want an Nvidia graphics card.

Budget: around $1,500 USD
Location: US (20 mins from Micro Center)

Thanks in advance!

hi! i have posted a pc build request before but i have specific needs now that i actually have the money and know more. i have $1800 with some wiggle room and i do need peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc idk what else u need tbh). i am in the usa and i am 5 hours away from a microcenter so im not sure if its worth it, but i'm near orlando if there is anything good there to get parts. i'm planning on using it mainly for sims with a lot of mods but also for other steam gaming (tlou, twd, spider-man, gta v... cant think of any others rn lol) but id also like it to be able to run editing software like lightroom well. i was thinking an rx 9070 16gb for the gpu and 32gb of ddr5 but i feel like that ends up sooo expensive. i'd prefer a 2tb ssd but 1tb is fine as i have an external. i also don't really know what to choose for a cpu but i would like an amd. thanks for any help!

My New Gaming & Workstation Build!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share the final component list for my upcoming dual-purpose rig (Gaming + local AI/workstation tasks). Let me know what you think! And tell if i got a good deal considering the actual prices.

Overall it cost me around 1700$

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X

CPU Cooler: Deepcool Gammaxx AG400

Gpu: zotac gaming geforce rtx 5060 ti 16gb twin edge 16gb

Motherboard: Asus TUF Gaming B850M-Plus Wi-Fi

Memory (RAM): Forgeon cyclone rgb 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30

Storage: Samsung 9100 Pro 1TB PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe

Case: Msi mag forge m100a RGB

Power Supply (PSU): MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze

Putting together my first build, mostly for AAA gaming + some dev work.

Specs so far:

CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X

Motherboard: MSI B650M Bomber WiFi

RAM: 2x8GB DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (dual channel)

Storage: 1TB NVMe Gen4 SSD

GPU: RTX 5060 8GB

PSU (considering): MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5, 750W, 80+ Gold, fully modular, ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1 support

I've read a few mentions of coil whine on the A750GL under heavy load & loud noise, anyone running this PSU able to confirm if it's a real issue in normal use, or just occasional unit variance?

Would you recommend it for this build, or is there a similarly priced Gold-rated alternative I should look at instead (Corsair RM750e, Seasonic Focus GX-750, etc.)?

But at max I'd put a ₹8-8.5k ~ 87-90$ budget on psu!

Also open to any other feedback on the build itself - anything you'd swap, any bottlenecks you're seeing between the 9600X and RTX 5060, or anything I'm missing for a clean first build.

Also will I be able to get aa 1440p with this build?

Thanks in advance!

I’m thinking of buying/ building my own pc, but I do not know where to start with specs or anything doing research like rtx 5080 and things like that. Budget is 3k doesn’t have to be exactly 3k can be a lil over but under 4k definitely. I’m talking to my father about it he told me to send the specs tomorrow. I want good performance good quality decent storage like 2TB if I need more I’ll change it later. Runs nicely and will last me a long time, Eith nice cooling system. I already plan on getting a 720hz Asus oled monitor. Please help no pressure into responding quickly just a lil stressed about so many choices
