Upgrading from a PC I bought 2nd hand Budget (including currency): $2-5000CAD Country: canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: for school I use visual studio code, visual studio, MySQL server management studio, Microsoft SQL server, and GitHub desktop for programming projects for school. For designing projects at school I use Adobe suite, primarily Photoshop and illustrator. I often check dev tools among several different browsers to confirm that my web code did what it was supposed to do. For gaming, I play Minecraft, Minecraft dungeons and Apex. Although I've been wanting to get more into the side of Minecraft that users often encounter a significant lag or drop in fps. I also use my oculus quest 2 with my PC by linking via a quest rift cable or a usb c cable essentially(I think that's what the cable is called) Other consoles I own: - PS4 - Nintendo Switch Pro (I think that's the newest ones model name) - Oculus Quest 2 Only mentioning my consoles in the event I want to connect them to my PC for something in the future. My current phone is a Google pixel 6 Pro, and my headphones are the newer SteelSeries artis nova pro wired, and I'm stating this for the same reason as the consoles above. $Funding$ Currently because of a disability grant I qualify for because of my epilepsy, I am allowed $20,000 max in my lifetime for money that's free basically for a "computer package" this amount isn't provided all at once instead it is given in 4 parts and I have recieved $5000 already.

I just recently installed a new msi 3060ti (3 fan 8g) and I'm having issues when i run anything that requires it to work hard. If i play any sort of demanding title (apex, mw2, pubg) both my monitors (1080p 144hz) will black out and turn off. My computers RGB will stay on but the audio will cut out after a few seconds. This however does not happen with easier to run games like terraria. If i completely turn off my computer and unplug it the games will run perfectly for about 5-10 minutes and the graphics card stays at a solid 60 degrees Celsius pretty consistently. I have a lot of RGB and power hungry stuff in my system with a 650w 80+ gold power supply, I think it could be that issue but im not quite sure. Any tips? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/FinneseRice/saved/#view=RzzQP6

when setting in the lobby or join the lobby after a game my pc will turn off. iv noticed my UPS will go as high as 668W and low as 436. iv tried removing gpu overclock and even turning power limit to 90%. iv reinstalled the game a few times.

I've been having this issue for that past few months now. Apex is running like poopoo. Before season 9 started, my game was running buttery smooth and that was with my previous Ryzen 5 3600. I now have the 5800x paired with an RX 6800. Feels like the game is stuttering when my mouse moves. The only way I got Apex to run smooth with no issues was when I reformatted my computer, and I've done this about 6 times now in the past few weeks. Apex runs fine after reformatting until I download other games/apps like discord, Valorant, Aimlabs, Streamlabs. After downloading other stuff onto my computer Apex starts micro stuttering again. I've played Valorant and the game seems to have issues with performance. Would anyone know why this would be happening? Things I've tried/done: Mouse polling rate set to 500 Discord hardware acceleration off FPS max set to 165, 144, Unlimited (Monitor is 165HZ) Changing my refresh rate to 144 (made it worse) Turning off overlays for AMD and DISCORD My system is not overheating, or maxing out either. I consider my system a higher end build so I don't see why I'm having these issues. Any help would be appreciated as I don't want to reformat my computer anymore, and be limited to having only Apex downloaded. Thanks.

Hi guys, hope you're all doing well. Recently I encountered an issue with my ryzen 5600x build where my pc would just black screen and restart when starting certain games such as Fortnite, Apex and Rust. After some searching around and troubleshooting I've found the solution for this problem and fixed my build. A lot of people thought it was a psu issue causing the pc to restart, this is probably not the case for you, it's no coincidence that only certain games would cause everyone's pc to restart. Anyways, the solution is do with motherboard bios updates and amd drivers. I have a b550m-k motherboard which I received as a bundle with my 5600x and the bios was very out of date, essentially, this is what was causing my computer crash and restart. I probably didn't explain much in this post so if you'd like me to help you out with your build please reply. I want to do my part and help others who had this same issue. I was thinking of making a youtube tutorial in the future, but for now this is all I have to offer.

Can my laptop with Ryzen 3550H 4c/8t 8gb 2400mhz ram gtx 1650m be able to stream games @1080p 60fps on YouTube? Are the specs enough for streaming?

When ever i open apex it runs but when i goto the screen to actually do stuff (past the continue button) I crash and get this error, But ive been able to run apex fine for almost 3 weeks. I've closed everything on my pc apps/programs ect but i still get the error --------------------------- Apex Crash - Out of Memory --------------------------- Apex crashed because it ran out of memory. The most common causes of this are: • "Texture Streaming Budget" is too high in your video settings. Lowering this can help. • All other programs plus Apex combine to use too much memory. Quitting other programs can help. • Your Windows page file is set too small. Increasing the page file size can help. (The page file lets Windows move less important memory to disk until it's needed again.) TECHNICAL INFORMATION: • Apex was using 1.6 GB of physical memory. • Apex was using 5.6 GB of virtual memory. • Apex failed to allocate 21.6 MB of memory. • Your PC has 16.0 GB of memory physically installed. • Your PC has 128.0 TB of virtual memory (with the page file). • After Apex exited, your PC memory load is about 41%.

My apex legends worked untill 3 Days ago when it froze. Eversince I can't play 3 concecutive games withoud my game freezing. It occurres most often with friend. So far I update graphics drivers, repaired apex, turned cloud save off, turned origin-in-game off and put my game on Max 144fps. Please help, I love this game.

Why do some apps alt-tab differently than others? For example when I alt-tab in Fortnite it brings up the preview windows/thumbnails, Whereas when I alt-tab in Apex Legends it takes me straight out of the game Along with that, when I alt-tab in League of Legends it brings up the old ui with the icons. Is there a way to make all apps alt-tab like the way it does in Fortnite? Thanks

As the title suggests, when I'm playing Apex using my new headset, Creative H6, sound distorts, then crashes, screen freezes and when the screen is back I have no sound. I have the latest headset/motherboard drivers installed, firmware also. It doesn't seem to happen when watching Youtube for example. Also this did not happen with my previous headset, also from Creative. I did not uninstall the previous headsets drivers, but I don't think that matters. I'm suspecting a driver conflict maybe? Windows 10 64bit.

I'm incredibly new to the PC World and not too seasoned in forums so forgive me if this is poorly composed. Lifetime console gamer but was recently gifted a pc to play games on with a buddy. Since then I have been trying to get decent at it and learn what makes up a pc and how it all works. That being said I really don't know much yet. But I am having an issue with my CPU showing core temps running into the yellow and even red at times, and my game and sound start lagging when or if it gets into the red. Red has only happened once but I'd like to avoid it and know the causes potentially of it. What I know of/ i have: CPU: i7 5960x Motherboard: GA X99 H105 Cooler ( pretty sure) Ax1200i Power supply 3 front corsair fans in the front, 1 in back Believe its all in a big obsidian case 2 EVGA GTX 980ti in SLI 32 GB DDR4 BenQ XL2730Z monitor (1080 at the moment) Idle is mid 40's which i have been reading some places is normal it seems. But Apex Legends at mid-high settings 1080 and all low 1440 are running it well into the 75-80 range. This is mostly what I play, and I keep hearing that for what I have that's not good. So I've been trying to trouble shoot by dimming settings and resolution and changing the thermal paste thermal paste and figure out what the issue may be if any at all. Like I said I really don't know much so I don't know if this request is missing more info. My friend most recently said it may be my voltage which idle seems to be around .75-.9 which he said seems to mean that isn't the issue. I just don't want to push anything too hard or fry anything before tax time when I would be able to replace or upgrade any of it. I have to mention that I have never really had any lagging in game or in game sound wise until recently, and that was playing at low setting 1440 for the past two or three months and just recently started getting hotter. I feel I should maybe also mention that the night this first happened I had just downloaded an Nvidia update, was told I should maybe revert but haven't yet. I can explain more in comments but don't know if or want to make this too longwinded. Thanks to anyone who reads and especially anyone with more knowledge lol.

Hello lads, I have been having pretty bad flickering issues in Apex Legends when looking at large sections of rock while using my new EVGA 2070 Super FTW. Granted I did overclock it as soon as I got it but it is now at stock clocks behaving the same, I initially thought it the OC was causing it but alas, it prevails. The card is 100% stable in furmark and every other game I have tested it with. I installed the newest Nvidia hotfix 431.68 and same problem. Reseaeted PCI-e slot, reattached power, didn't underclock yet but not sure if that would help. Lots of posts about 2080s having problems on reddit and no solution in sight. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix for it? I have talked to Nvidia and got escalated by email to a higher level person so we are waiting to see if that ever goes anywhere (doubtful). As for Respawn I have sent them and email which will almost assuredly be tossed in the trash, but hey who knows. The thing that bothers me the is that my recently removed 780 had no problems at all playing 1440p Apex at 60fps, granted on low, but still, its annoying and confusing when the new $500 card can't play the game without massive artifacts. Let me know if anyone has any ideas.

I know this game is dead. But I recently picked it back up and need people to play with. Im in west coast US and play on PC Thank you

I really want to ditch my oversized computer case ( The tower 900 ) I currently have a dual loop connected for the cpu / gpu. My next build must be smal. Quick connect hoses, etc... Alphacool his chiller 2000, anyone have one and can give me some advice? My hardware for now: 7980xe 2080ti Rampage 6 apex x299 32gb 3600 cl15 ..

Anyone wanna play apex and teach me? Been playing for a week and still suck.

Good afternoon, (THIS IS NOT SELF PROMOTION) I've been having this issue for about a week now. Does anyone know why its doing this. I've reinstalled the game and origins to make sure all files were correct. Just started happening out of no where. Please watch video for the example and what I've done. -THANKS! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfFkoRZowS4&feature=youtu.be

I've downloaded the game for 3 weeks now and for the whole entire time I've been trying to fix it and I couldn't play it because of this bug. I'm using Lenovo Legion Y520 - i7 / Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 / 8gb RAM and i think all other specs are sufficient enough to run the game requirements. I've tried everything that was listed else where in the internet on how to fix this bug, but still ending up with the same sh**t; tried twiking Graphic Card; Installed all drivers needed to update; twiked internet speed; uninstall and reinstall the game for 5 times even bought the game-at first I only installed the free one. etc.... Could someone help me out. Here's the recorded footage: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15O57dVDNwr5iSZBhIua1nbB-FSbcnqHv/view?usp=sharing Thank you!

Hey guys. My specs are:- xeon x5660 (better than even the i7 3770, cinebench score is 710) xfx r9 270x 2gb and 8gb ram (4gb x2). I can push to high settings on every game but in apex legends, even if I lower the rest to 900p and other settings at lowest, I don't get solid 60 fps. It's like 10-15 in air and 40-50 on ground with spikes dropping to 25fps. I've updated the drivers and the game. The worst part is that people with the same gpu worst cpus than mine play on better graphics and get much better results even though they're recording the gameplay. Take a look at these videos for ref https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjSFp9TueAA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQisZzYRVes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErfocfpqIZ4 This is really frustrating please help

can't install any games because origin says click yes when uac pops up when downloading. no solutions work that are available online so i tried debugging it myself and it seems to be related to qtwebengineprocess. the debug file in origin says [0210/130112:WARNING:resource_bundle_qt.cpp(114)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale what can I do about this? I don't think its a file permission issue. the backend software cant communicate with my file directory.

Hello, the title says it all. Im looking for people to play apex with. You can join my discord(LINK ON PROFILE). Or juts invite me to yours.
