Yea I have done that

Hi I have recently finished building me new pc: Ryzen 5 1400 16gb ram 2133 mhz gtx 970 asus prime B350m-a motherboard 1tb hard drive I can now access my bios. I have installed windows on my USB and plugged it in. But as far as I can get is the windows logo but then black screen. Once I got to installing windows but when it finished there was also a black screen. Can anyone help me? Thanks

I would agree, but don't you think the r5 1400 is better price/performance??

Yes na ssd is much faster than an hhd drive but for the same price i wouldn't be able to get much storage.

I meant around 500

i think it comes with an average stock cooler but i was planning to buy later on due to budget

I would like to make a new gaming pc for around £500 I came up with this build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SpicyCactus/saved/BxmMpg And this one: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SpicyCactus/saved/V8sJVn For the first one, a gtx 970 costs about £150 second hand in my area. If i bought the cheaper second list i could invest in a better mouse or mechanical keyboard. The ram prices right now are crazy so should i buy second hand? My purposes for this pc are to game and do a little bit of streaming. Any thoughts?? Many thanks, Elliot

I would suggest getting a B350 motherboard as you can then overclock your processor, allowing it to perform better.

This is out of my budget I need to stay below 700 with moniter

Would it be worth upgrading to a 1500 or is a 1400 just as good oc?

If I can oc would I be able to get some good gaming performance out of it paired with a decent graphics card??

Ok thanks yes waiting would suck

I am going to build a new pic for my mum as her old hp touch smart 520 is getting old and slow. This may seem a bit overkill for just internet browsing and looking at emails but I was planning on getting a ryzen 5 1400 chip with snappy ram as I heard it helps a lot. I am planning of putting a fast GPs in it in the future so I can play games. I am confused on which chip to get though as there isn't much out there comparing the ryzen 5 and which is the best value for money. Can anyone help?

Ok yes that is a great point thanks

Do you know any particular i5 cpu's you could suggest? And yes ryzen is a good shout

I'm thinking on building my first gaming pc and still wondering what you to buy. I would spend sub £100 on a processor as this is a budget build. I have been suggested a Pentium g4560, or an older i5 2500k for around £65. I May also overclock it as well to get peak performance. Any suggestions? Thanks

Yes it can be bought for dirt cheap for good performance. Thanks!

Ok thanks for your help☺ So those are worth the investment over the pentinum 4560??

Yeah I'm not too sure about that, I'm not experienced and I May run into many problems lol?

Great I'll be sure to check that out ?

Like what??

Yes that is a good deal I May consider that but will it bottleneck the cpu?

I'm building my first pc, upgrading from console.
