Greetings. Sometime in the next few months I want to build a completely new PC and I want help with building an absolute monster. The details are below, but I basically want to spare no expense and build something that's best in class and as "future proof" as a PC can be. The budget below is more of a ballpark than an absolute hard limit - while I would appreciate staying around or under it, if there's a compelling case for spending more to get more then I would consider it.

Budget: $5,000

Operating System or Peripherals (Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc) needed?

• Wanting to do a triple monitor setup, ideally all at least 2K, 144 Hz, etc.
• No mouse, keyboard, speakers, or headphones needed

Where you are located (country and state/province, ideally)

• Houston, TX United States

Intended use (gaming, video editing, etc)

• Primarily gaming. I don't do video editing, but want it to be pretty much all-purpose.

Happy to answer any clarifying questions to get the best possible build. Appreciate your help in advance!

Like I said I have around £1200-1400 and idk really know what to buy. I’ve done some research but I still idk. Ik im looking for 2tb storage and 32gb of ram. The rest of the budget can be spent on the other pc parts. If someone can help me pick some parts I’d really appreciate it. Btw I’m looking for a good gaming pc I only play comp games and sometimes random games with my friends.

Hi, the title is quite self-explanatory! I'm new here, and I'm also new to the world of gaming PCs. I really like games like HOI4, Warframe, Total War saga and War Thunder (not only these ones specifically, but I've given the idea quite clear). I've never built a PC, let alone a gaming PC, so I'm quite sure that I'll be giving my parts to one of my friends (who's quite a veteran) to assemble. Until then, I need to choose the components so: what do you advice me to do? I don't even know what I'll need to build a pc. Treat me like I'm 5! Thank you very much.

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!

building my first proper pc and wanted to get some opinions before i actually start buying stuff.

i’m in ireland and my budget is around €1700 for the tower. mainly gonna use it for 1080p 200hz gaming, but also local AI/coding, game dev, blender etc.

current list:

• Ryzen 5 7600X — €157.78
• Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 — €57.73
• MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi6E — €140.25
• Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 CL36 — €452.33
• Acer Predator GM7 1TB — €167.13
• ASUS Prime RX 9070 16GB — €653.66
• MSI MAG A650GLS 650W Gold — €70.12
• NZXT H5 Flow 2024 — €58.43

most of the parts are from Amazon UK and the GPU is from Amazon Germany. the Amazon UK cart is currently about €1,103.77, and with the GPU the parts come to around €1,757 before any extra UK checkout/import/FX adjustments.

also planning on getting an MSI MAG 244F 1080p 200hz monitor for around €89 delivered.

before anyone says it, yes i know €452 for 32gb of ram is criminal 😭 it jumped in price since i made the list so i’m definitely replacing that with another 32gb 6000 kit before buying.

i also know the 360mm AIO is unnecessary for a 7600X lol, i just like how it looks.

anything you guys would change? mainly looking for feedback on the overall balance and if there’s anywhere i’m wasting money or could get something better for roughly the same price. ireland/eu prices are kinda cooked so keep that in mind 😭

Budget: Under 2000€ if possible
Country: Austria
What will you be using this PC for: Gaming — mainly Valorant, Fortnite, Red Dead Redemption 2, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. New to PC building, a friend who knows more about this helped me put this list together.
Parts List:
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz 8-Core
• CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro A-RGB 360
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
• GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB
• Storage: Crucial P510 2TB M.2 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD

• PSU: NZXT C850 (2024) 850W 80+ Gold Fully Modular
Monitor: AOC 27G42E, 27” 1080p 180Hz
Questions:
1. Does this build make sense together, or would you change anything?
2. Is staying under 2000€ realistic with this list, or should I expect to go over?
Thanks in advance for any input!

Unfortunately my AM4 build on a 3900x and 2070super is at its end, since the mismatched ram sticks which used to be stable on the board (It was held together by duct tape and glue with 4 sticks at 3200 and 3600 speeds massively downclocked) has stopped working together. Currently have the setup working (somehow) on 24gb, since the 4th ram slot has decided he’s not very happy, and so has one of the ram sticks.

This took a not very pretty “all iterations” tear down and ram slot test, and a 24gb setup which may become 16 at a stray gust of wind, or have slots stop working altogether, is unfortunately not good enough. Sadly I need this for video editing and streaming, and since this is worth a good portion of my income, I can’t wait years for prices to (maybe) drop.

I will need a standard hard drive/OS only sad for boot, to get the current setup working as a media machine and light gaming on my tv downstairs for its retirement, and will be using my current storage for the new PC as a straight transfer.

Please give me advice on wether a stretch to 5080 is worth the price, or if it’s not in budget at all for the build. I will mainly be playing overwatch on 1440p (as many fps as possible since overwatch input lag is determined by frame rate past monitor fps).

I will also be also hdmi-ing the build to an adjacent 4k 120hz oled for couch gaming. Running 4k native on ultra settings etc is not necessarily a deal breaker, but is on the wish list, being able to handle almost all games at a reasonable level on this TV. Is necessary.

All peripherals are dealt with, do your worst!

What's up Reddit? Long time gamer, first time PC-er. I'm new here and recently bought a gaming PC, it has a Ryzen 9 and an Nvidia 5070. I've been having the time of my life gaming on it. However, I'm currently using an old insignia TV that supposedly operates @ 60HZ.. It seems the TV cant do the pc justice visually at 2k-4k with high fps. It just doesn't look as good as i thought it would and according to all my PC friends its because of the TV I'm using. I'm looking for a new TV to use but not sure what to get. What is the benefit of using a monitor vs a TV? I read somewhere it needs a 2.1 hdmi port. No idea what I'm doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance!

Hey everyone, I made a post not too long ago about whether or not 2k can get me a decent build. I took a lot of y’all’s opinions and really appreciated the feedback. I went onto pc part picker, and built a pc. I wanted some more feedback and maybe suggestions on things I should change! (The 2k was a target range, want to stay under 3k)

I think that most of graphics card cant run most of competitive games like warzone , fortnite barely giving 240 fps, cs go 2 rainbow six siege

Like games that require high fps to be pro player

Graphics cards that has come to an end for my opinion:

Rtx 3060

Rtx 2060 super
i used to have this one but I’ve sold my pc it was good before 5 years but no longer

Rtx 4060

Rtx 4070 idk about this one but i think its on the edge of dying

So please tell me what is the best pc build for this generation

Lets say my budget is: 2000$

Hi, looking to build a gaming pc, the only games i'd be playing are ETS2 and Black ops 3 custom zombies. I'm thinking of building an am4 system? Would it be worth spending extra for am5? As i don't intend to play any other games on there as i use my xbox series x

Hey guys I want a gaming pc around 900. I can go a bit more but would prefer not too. I dont really care about high fps and stuff, 60 fps on 1080p and I am fine.

I have a 480GB NVMe SSD, but unfortunately I’m running out of storage space. I mainly use my PC for gaming. Would you recommend getting a 1TB SATA SSD or a 2TB HDD? I have a budget of 110€.

Moving from xbox series X console to my first PC. I plan to buy used and upgrade as needed what should i be looking for on the used market? What type of budget do i need to have?

Hi, i decided to buy my little brother good all around gaming PC. He told me he want to play GTA 6 when it comes to PC and other "popular games". He isn't picky so he will be gaming in 1080p. Goal is for this PC to last him good time, so im kinda overkilling it on specs for his current needs.

I was thinking on buying something like this, but it overdid my current budget of 1350 eur (prices in my country). So recommend me what can i swap, to shave off 300 eur but still keep as much performance out of it as i can.

CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (40e)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB (540e)

Napajanje: Seasonic Focus GX-750 (110e)

Hi! I want to buy my boyfriend a pc setup for his birthday but I am very overwhelmed lol.

He has wanted one for over 5 years and I finally have some wiggle room in my budget to look at refurbished setups for him. I saw Walmart has quite a few options available however, I do not game and do not have any pc knowledge so looking at the options that are available is a bit much. Can I please get some recommendations for a beginner setup that can be modified by him in the future?

If it helps- he plays a lot of Fortnite and shooting games in addition to storytelling games like digimon. Thank you so much for the help!!

Im on a tight budget of around £300-£380 i need help finding a good PC which is good for streaming and can run most games on steam and preferably run more fps than my PS5 on games like fortnite,Im also looking for a Good L shaped desk with a hard to break table top as i tend to break alot of desk im looking for a white desk but im open to other options

So basically I have a dell slim esc1250 as a computer with 16gb ram and intel core ultra 7 cpu but I have no gpu so the best gpu I can get for my pc is a rtx 3050 should I buy the 3050 or save for a new gaming pc?
