I’m getting into pc building and I don’t work since I’m too young but I’m wondering what I would use a vertical monitor for? It looks like streaming stuff is used but I won’t be streaming. Should I ask for a vertical monitor?

Hi,

My current setup is on its death bed. I honestly play everything between small indie games to bigger RPGs.

I currently moslty play WoW, having returned to it after 10+ years, enjoying every bit of content the game has to offer. Since WoW is a CPU heavy game, my current i5 is struggling immensely.

That’s why I’m going for the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D. I’ve seen people recommending mother boards around 1000 EUR, does that really make a difference? Also, any GPU recommendations for something that will make WoW run smoothly aswell as other games?

Budget isn’t that much of an issue, as I’d like to invest in a build that will last me for some years, but still avoid unnecessary money spending just for the sake of some ego tripping performances that you can’t even notice the difference.

(I’m from the EU, Croatia, shouldn’t be too limited as to which products are available)

(Current setup, cpu i5, gtx 1050it, some asus motherboard, some beast 4k monitor that I got gifted at work that I’m not using to it’s fullest)

Hello guys, I think I need a few opinions about this computer I’m about to buy.
If you think I should replace some components it would be amazing for me to read all yours keys.

I don’t wanna waste that much more, but if you think it’s the right option I would.

Thank you in advance guys, it’s my first time in Reddit so I hope I receive some helping comments 😭

I have a broken laptop that have all of my games and files

and i want to build a new pc, is there a possible way to get all my files and games to my pc?

and the broken laptop have a sata ssd

I wanted to do like an end/quality-of-life upgrade for my Intel 11th gen rig because I'll never afford to do a full conversion to 14th gen with the prices that they are, RAM especially. So my wish was to find a D4 board that supports 12,13,14 gen chips where all I have to do is swap processors out, but they basically don't exist anymore. All I can find are 12 gen only d4 boards for 3x the price and it's just simply not worth it to me. What's the play here? Hold on to my current setup and deal with it? Save up to do a full internal swap? I don't think prices will ever return to what they were...

Bought my computer pre-built in april 2023, never touched a thing since.

I play some games that would be quite heavy (Guild Wars2, Path of Exile) where specifically for GW2 I've started noticing some wild load times, regardless of which maps I go to(can be up to 1-2min) never had any issues with this before regardless of computer specs

Never really gotten too much into the knowledge of what computer parts are better than others and which synergizes the best.

Would really appreciate any guide or help as to what I can do to increase performance and load times.

This error codes happen after my pc freezes and restarts, is there any fix to these or is this a hardware issue, if so what part.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for help building an all-black gaming/streaming PC for around $1500 USD.
Main games:
Roblox
Valorant
Fortnite
I also want to stream while gaming smoothly.
Preferences:
Ryzen 7 7700X
Liquid cooling (AIO preferred)
Mostly/all black aesthetic
Good airflow
Wi-Fi preferred
32GB RAM if possible
I’d appreciate a full parts list + any monitor recommendations if you have them. Thanks!

For reference I’m 20, I don’t make a hell of a lot of money, and I have a flat and a dog to pay for, but I’m looking to build a good starter PC to run AAA games on.

I’m not expecting 100s FPS, and the absolute best quality graphics, but I’d like to be able to run GTA5 without my PC sounding like it’s about to take flight and leave through my bedroom window, or without freezing every 10seconds.

Can anyone give me any tips to start building my first PC and/or an idea of how much it would cost?

Hallo,

vor fünf Jahren habe ich meinen ersten Gaming PC für 1689EUR bei Otto erworben und bin auch sehr glücklich damit gewesen. Ich nutze diesen mit einem 4k TV mit 60Hz. Mittlerweile werden die Ansprüche größer und so wollte ich mir eine neue Grafikkarte kaufen. RTX 5080 würde mich interessieren, meine Freunde die alle sehr viel besser über die sowas Bescheid wissen und ChatGPT haben mir ein paar Vorschläge gemacht.

ChatGPT hat mir das Vorgeschlagen:

CPU	Ryzen 7 5800X3D

GPU	RTX 5080

RAM	32 GB DDR4-3600 CL16

Netzteil	850 W Gold ATX 3.0

Mainboard	behalten

Derzeit habe ich:

CPU	AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.59 GHz

GPU	NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8 GB)

RAM	16 GB

Netzteil	650 W

Mainboard	B450 Gaming X

Der ganze Stuff wird mich circa 2000 EUR kosten und dann muss das noch eingebaut werden. Ein Freund hat mir empfohlen, dass Mainboard auch zu tauschen.

Würdet ihr verkaufen und dann neuen Rechner holen oder den Aufwand betreiben?

I recently brought a pre built gaming pc and have constant crashes and BSOD's. The PC works fine when I have just 1 16gb of Ram in but if I add the second I get caught in a BSOD loop and cant access anything. I have 2 16gb Kingston Fury beast DDR5's. I have tried swapping the 2 sticks round and making sure they are mounted correctly and clicked in. The PC works with either stick in but not with both. Does anyone have any advice?

is this a good pc build for streaming while gaming?
