Hey Guys, so I am looking into buying a new PC to replace my 3 year old computer right now... current specs are Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB of RAM, 2060 Super (which I will be reusing) on a B450 Mobo. I have speced out a new PC as of today, which has been my dream PC for a long time (we all have those - https://bit.ly/3bxMX4c), but then Intel is around the corner with 12th gen and DDR5. What do you guys things Budget (including currency): £1400.00 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Will be used for MMO's (FFXIV), light content creation, and Simulator games like Football Manager Other details So I am looking at the following (https://bit.ly/3bxMX4c) from a UK based pre built company, and I have no issue with it, I love that system that I specced out. However, my only concern is buying it today when Intel and DDR5 is around the corner. Do I wait the extra couple of days and get the latest latest, or go with my gut and stick with Ryzen. Opinons welcome

I have a CoolerMaster PSU which is about 7 years old. All i know is its a CoolerMaster Non Modular PSU

Hello, So I have come into some extra money over xmas and I am wanting to upgrade my graphics card. At the moment I have a 1050ti paired with a Ryzen 5 2600. My PSU is 550W. I have a budget of £300 (sorry don't know what that is in $). So if i needed a new PSU that would be need to be included in the budget. All i will be doing is playing FFXIV @ 1080p, which my current card does brilliantly, but i want to venture into Total War: Warhammer 2. I also would like to be future proofed. Don't really play AAA titles, i get round to them a few years after they came out. Any suggestions?

I don't know really.. I am only just really getting in hardware, so I am just learning what to expect and stuff. I am upgrading my CPU soon. Going from Intel to Ryzen

Hey, I know this is on 1080p High, because my computer would not even get close to running on extreme... can anyone reassure me that this is a good score for my hardware, as I am super paranoid that something is not quite right. Edit:- This is what i got on Extreme - Dismal effort!

and this is after

So this was before.

I did it... and everything works FINE!!!! Love my new case and my new GPU... Not bad for a noob Thanks to everyone for all your advice

I have been hearing all about static shock all day... so scared of it!

I won't drop it don't worry

Hey all, Been watching Linus for ages now, so thought I would come onto the forums to ask for any tips. I am a total software guy, not a hardware guy, so I have been putting off updating my rig for a while, but today I have taken the plunge. I have just brought a 1050ti and a new case, and tomorrow I am going to swap from my old case and into the new one. Being that this is my first major build job, just wondering if anyone has any decent tips or guides on how to do this easily and safely without blowing up my MoBo or my new graphics card.
