Budget (including currency): $1,100 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Solely focused on gaming. Here are some of the games he is looking forward to playing, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Fortnite, Rocket League, Call of Duty Other details: This will be his first gaming PC, only previously gamed on Xbox One S No peripheral or monitors are needed Looking to maximize framerate, monitor is 1080p at 165hz We will need to buy a copy of Windows

Budget (including currency): ~£3,500 Country: England Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Racing sims, Assetto Corsa, iRacing Other details: It will be a brand new system with the goal of achieving the highest refresh rates with max settings on a triple 4K monitor set up for racing sims. Monitors are 120hz but I realize I will likely not be able to push that many pixels. I will not need peripherals, windows, or the monitors. RGB optional. Thanks in advance!

Thank you all for the helpful builds!! This was incredibly helpful! I grabbed some bits from all the builds

Budget (including currency): $1,200 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite, Mnecraft, Terraria. No Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): This will be a brand new PC with no parts being brought over We are only looking to buy new parts at this time No peripherals are needed, no monitor is needed, and we already have a code for Windows This will be for gaming at 144fps at 1080p but we understand not all games will be able to get even close to 144fps at this budget. Just stating this to emphasize the focus will be on gaming. Looking to purchase the parts ASAP as his birthday is October 30th so looking to things in stock now Any and all guidance would be appreciated!

I am looking for a motherboard with more than two internal usb 2.0 headers. I currently am using a ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E motherboard and have a CORSAIR an iCUE Lighting node pro, an iCUE ELITE CPU Cooler LCD Display, and an iCUE Commander CORE CT. When I plug in the LCD display to a splitter which has the Lighting Node Pro and the LCD Display on it, I get an error icon on the screen and I believe its from lack of bandwith so I am looking to upgrade my MOBO to a board with three internal headers. Does anyone know any contemporary boards that have more than two?

Unmarking as solved...... The mobo just went BACK out of stock......

LOL IT WAS NOT IN STOCK WHEN I POSTED THAT. Thank you for pointing that out

Budget (including currency): $2,000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The Witcher, Call Of Duty, League of Legends I am planning a build for my friend and we have mapped out everything to make him happy. The problem is he is looking to buy now and we just cannot find a motherboard that is in stock. We are building it around a AMD Ryzen 7 3800x. Does anyone know a good MOBO with an AM4 socket and is in stock right now? Here is the link to our PC part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XnF39G Thanks

Probably gonna throw in a TB HDD. Forgot to mention that.

I am building an $800 build for a friend and looking for thoughts. He will be gaming at 60 fps and does not need peripherals, monitors, or OS. Here is what I current have. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kDZWLJ Are there any cheaper MOBOs that would allow me to bump the GPU?

That is the the Hero 8 (VIII), I am referring to the Hero 7 (VII). I got the x2 right out of the handbook. My current SSD is an 840 evo, would it be faster than that?

I have the Maximus VII Hero motherboard and I want to get an M.2 SSD for it. The slot of the MOBO is for an NVMe with PCIe x2 support. Which one of these M.2 drives should I get? The MP300 is M.2 Sata so its not technically the correct connector but I have heard that these can work in M.2 NVMe slots before https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Storage/M-2-SSDs/Force-Series-MP300/p/CSSD-F480GBMP300 The MP500 is m.2 NVMe but it wants PCIe x4 which my computer can only support x2 https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Unformatted-M2SSDs-Capacity/force-series-mp500-config/p/CSSD-F480GBMP500 Which should I get assuming the product needs to be Corsair?

I have been seeing this unknown file type called realdeal on some of my files. I know there is some bloat/malware called Real Deal that I had previous removed from my computer when I found it but all of these files seem like they actually belong. It seems like whenever I previously had the bloat/malware it changed a certain file type to be the name of realdeal. I have run many anti virus softwares on my computer include Anti-malware bytes and they all come up with there is no problem. I cannot find what the file extension is (.exe, .ppt, .doc) and when I go to folder settings and force it to always show the file extension, nothing pops up after the file name. If anyone has had this problem before or knows what these file types should be (by checking on your own computer if you have any of the games seen in the pictures) please let me know.

Its a University, obviously 1080ti's will be more than enough but im not to familiar with the mid range products. The budget is not set, we are just looking for which is the best, most effective price/performance

My school is looking to build computers for our esports team and we want to build the best price to performance pc that can run Overwatch at 144hz at high. Just worry about the PC components, no peripherals or anything like that.

I know for DDR3, 16GB didnt do much for gaming. Is that different with DDR4?

No reason for an AOI water cooler

That is missing some of the things I specified were needed......

So here is what I have so far. She doesnt do any video editing and just a gamer more than anything else. What she needs: CPU MOBO RAM SSD HDD GPU Case PSU Network Card Monitor Headset Keyboard Here is the current build for her https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7cRq2R

THIS IS A HUGE SPOILER FOR EPISODE 4 AND 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop now if you dont what to know what happens but this glitch is actually super substantial involving characters that should be dead.
