Budget (including currency): US$800 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: GIMP, Light adobe suite, Ardour, storage Other details: Hello! I am new to the forum but knew I needed to stop by after the recent LTT video, "He Spent 3 YEARS Begging me for a PC. Good Luck Finding it!" I have been hoping to build a new PC to share with my partner in the Fractal Terra for a while now, and it looks like I finally have got the money together to do it! Linus's build (below) in the case seemed to be pretty good for what I need, other than the price. As I have a restricted budget, I really need to stay around US$800. This is my first PC build for myself, but I have plenty of experience working with servers (ex-IT worker lol) so I'm confident I can build in a mini itx case. My PCs for the last couple years have been random 10 year old thinkpads that I keep limping along, so I've been very limited. My husband even more so - he has an ancient chromebook lol. I need a build that is decent with art software like GIMP and Adobe suite (this is for my husband, who creates digital art), can function as a basic coding workstation (I code in Java, C++, Python, etc - I don't do anything too intensive as I've left the IT world but I would like to be able to mess around), obviously can handle the browsing the internet, can handle a DAW (Ardour), and can function as a 2TB storage stop-gap for my music until I save up to build a NAS. I have a couple 1tb hard drives scattered around, so I don't need any more than 2tb. I game very rarely, and it's always games like Stardew and Minecraft (am a girl lol) so I'm not worried about that. I plan to dual-boot some debian-based distro for my side of the PC, (big fan of antiX for thinkpads, but will find something a bit more solid for the PC) and my husband will likely get a Windows license for his side at some point (therefore that's not part of my budget). I don't plan on buying monitors or other peripherals, already have a decent starter set. Will upgrade them later, and will probably check in again at that point :) If you have a question about 10-year-old tech, I've got you. However, I don't know anything about the current landscape of PC parts. Therefore, I'm a bit lost - I would love help on trimming the cost of Linus's build to maximize savings, while also investing a tiny bit more into storage. And of course, it all has to fit in the Fractal Terra. Approx. of LTT's Build (US$1233.69): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tdTZ7R Thanks all so much for the help, it is so appreciated, sophietlav

Budget (including currency): ~400 (Preferably under) Other details: Attempting to make the cheapest possible PC that is not awful to be used as a gift(since I don't want to spend literally all of my money). If you have any recommendations even of they are not available on PC part picker post a comment. I don't really want to go higher in price, if you know any parts that are cheaper and have the same performance or are slightly more expensive and have a significant performance increase please let me know. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WQ6n4M

PSU: Corsair rm650x (2018) GPU Old : GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3G GPU New: Fighter AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 Case: Fractal Pop Air TLDR: New 132W GPU go bzzzzz desperate to get one that doesn't bzzzzz since old 1060 3gb 120W doesn't bzzzzz I've been trying to upgrade my PC into a silent one for a while now, I didn't get rid of my HDD yet but Im almost there. In order to get to get the pc to be as silent as possible I got a fractal design pop Air because I've read that even thought Air cases leak more noise outside, there's not going to be noise in the first place if you can run the fans on the PC at slower speeds while still getting good temps. Recently I got a RX 6600 PowerColor Fighter since it's got a TDP of 132w which is only slightly higher than my previous GPU, a GTX 1060 Mini ITX OC 3G with a TDP of 120w. One of the reasons that pushed me to do it (aside from the price and that 8GB of VRAM are better than 3) is that I read that GPU coil whine is very common (even on high end cards) so I thought that a low TDP card would have lower chances to whine, specially considering that the 1060 is dead silent an runs cool unless pushed to its limit, in which case the temps are still really good and it's also relatively quiet even inside the pop air case (and it doesn't whine either). I've also read that single fan GPUs are the noisiest and hottest out here, and since my 1060 is silent while being a single fan GPU, I thought the 6600 could only be better due to it having two fans and only a slightly higher TDP. Well... The card whines when being pushed to the limit, but at least not in the form of a high pitch but rather a constant buzzing that I assume is generated by the electricity circulating through the GPU or something, it somehow remembers me of a fountain. It is still very noticeable tho because I have sensitive hearing, it's specially noticeable at night. I know it's due to it's usage because as soon as I alt f4 of the demanding game the noise stops instantly so it's not a fan or hardrive (I also tested this with the HDDs disconnected). I placed my ear around the case with the side panel open and I'm pretty sure the wining comes form the GPU itself, not the PSU. I tried undervolting the card through the AMD drivers but the noise persists (I can't go any lower than 1090 mV or games crash). The only way for the card not to whine is to not use it at 100%, which is the whole point, I mean, I paid for the whole GPU I'm going to use the whole GPU, the headache that comes with it is not on the spec sheet tho. Another problem this card has is the zero RPM, the card goes from dead silent to moving the fans at 1300 RPM, turns out that's the minimum speed that can be adjusted in the fan curve, which is 35%. So I downloaded MorePowerTool to try to make it run slower and now the card can run to a minimum of 600-800 RPM which is really good, or would be if it wasn't because then the fans make some high pitched squeaky noise. I think it's due to the bearings because I tried gently stopping the fans with my fingers and as soon as the fan stops the noise is gone. Letting them spin again makes the noise reappear. I don't know if this noise means the fans are bad or if it's just the bearings being cheap, but I haven't heard it from any other fan inside a pc. I can hear them from my desk at night (the pc itself is at floor level elevated with a wood platform). Also, I don't know if it makes any difference but the 1060 uses 6 psu cable pins while the 6600 uses 8. My question is: If a single fan GPU from 2016 can be quiet and coil free, why are modern GPUs full of coil whine? Isn't there any model that just doesn't whine? At this rate I feel like Im going to end up returning half of the world's GPU stock to get a decent one. Can't some organization create coil whine certification standards or something? Maybe I should forget about getting an air mesh case... AND WHY WON'T ANY REVIEWERS WARN ABOUT THIS? :'/ Lots of people say this is normal that it's just physics or something. That's a really bad argument. Components catching fire is just physics too but engineers are capable to build components that don't catch fire. So why won't they build components that don't whine? I can only assume that's because doing so would make them more expensive, and since most people not only swallow up coil whine but also tell others to put up with it without considering their hearing might work differently... they don't bother. Please correct me if Im wrong.

Hi I want to upgrade my pc, in term of speed and that's it really. I also bought some part already and I was wondering if this suffice or maybe I need more. (P.s I bought this part couple of months back because I thought these part is good enough and also my budget was very tight back then). -H61+/B75 motherboard -Intel i3 2100 3.1 GHz -(2×8) GB RAM DDR3 1333 MHZ -SSD M2 NVME 128 GB And (I think) this is my current setup -Intel i5 650 socket 1156 -Motherboard Chipset Intel h55 -8GB (4×2) RAM DDR3 -500GB HDD -GTX 950 -Casing Varro/power up standard My current budget right now is around 60 dollar (I live in the third world country so most computer part is probably affordable I think....) so I was hoping I can get a good recommendations and hopefully I can run some cpu dependant game or just be able to play Witcher 3 smoothly lol. Thank you very much to anyone reading this.

Hi, hi, i'm new to this forum, i built my last PC in 2014 so i don't know about any meta PSU, but i want to build SFF system to travel with ease, atm i have Corsair ATX modular HX850, and it won't fit in any SFF case under 10L. So i want and need your help broskies with choosing a new PSU, SFX format, 750W(i guess, my system is R5 5600G+RTX4060Ti), and somewhat budget, not the highest end, i saw 1StPlayer PSUs, but it's so sketchy, i don't want to burn out my rig. Thank everyone in advance!

Budget (including currency): 420-ish EUR ex. OS licence Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Basic workstation (email, browsing, text processing). Little to no storage used (30GB or so for personal files) Other details The current system is an HP Slimline 260-A180ND (Intel J3060, 4GB, HDD) with W10, bought new for 330 EUR about 6 years ago (a scam IMO). Dear reader, TL;DR: I would like advice on the motherboard choice and opinions on the case(s), optional are verification of SSD for boot and PSU choice. Currently picking parts for a workstation build, for a senior (90+). The current PC is not usable anymore in terms of responsiveness and loading times. A clean install did not help. I have researched and selected medium to good low-budget parts to the best of my abilities, especially on the PSU and SSD front. I have offered to find a prebuilt or build this person a new system. I have looked at prebuilts / manufacturer systems such as Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 07IAB7 i5-12400, HP Pavilion TP01-2055nd AMD Ryzen 5-5600G and Lenovo IdeaCentre 5 i5-12400, all between 500 and 550 EUR. They're probably not bad, but I can't do any servicing other than the RAM, if there ever is a problem (see disassembly videos). I am the person they call for tech support. Plus, I'd rather assemble a system with parts I know are of somewhat decent quality, as well as industry standard interfaces and form factors. I don't want to risk the lower tier systems (300-400 EUR). I keep some future-proofing in mind (larger/better than necessary PSU, SSD, CPU) for both ease of mind reasons, as well as the fact that I might buy/recieve this system in a few years if they don't need/can't use a PC anymore. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LGHWwg Current selection (give or take a few EUR per item): CPU: AMD 5600G (130 EUR) CPU Cooler: stock (wraith stealth) Motherboard: A520M or B450, no model selected yet (65-ish EUR) Memory: Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3200 C16 CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 (45 EUR) Storage: Crucial P5 Plus 500GB NVMe (58 EUR), or anything with DRAM and pref. no QLC Video Card: iGPU Case: Sharkoon VS9 (45 EUR) Power Supply: pref. Corsair CX550 CP-9020277-EU (60 EUR); alt: Cooler Master MWE White 450/550W 230V V2 (60EUR, same price) (yes it's overkill, but not many >C tier 350W and 450W available + no massive price difference) OS: Most likely W10 to avoid change of environment, probably without license to save 110-ish EUR. Connectivity: USB mouse, USB keyboard, USB printer. Extra I/O on top is desired (for USB sticks etc.). CD drive not needed, but optional. Panel is VGA now, but supports DVI and HDMI. Total: 400-ish EUR 1. Motherboard: mainly picked A520M for the price, as the user needs no real features of B450/550. I can't really find any in-depth reviews or comparison tests for the A520M boards. Some B450M boards are around the same price, but I've read that you may be better off with the A520M in terms of up-to-dateness and quality (low end B450 vs low-mid A520M for that price range). Selection: MSI A520M-A PRO (63 EUR) Gigabyte A520M H 1.0 and Gigabyte A520M K V2 (65 EUR) Asrock A520M-HDV (60 EUR) MSI B450M PRO-VDH MAX (67 EUR) (4 DIMM slots) (new BIOS compatible with 5600G) Asrock B450M-HDV R4.0 (60 EUR) (new BIOS compatible with 5600G) 2. Storage: I've searched for a TLC SSD with DRAM, as it will be the boot and only drive in the system. Any other suggestions, or is this one OK for the system's purposes? 3. Cases: Not many options. I selected the following, but chose the Sharkoon for now for its fans, neutral styling, ventinaltion, no glass and I/O location. Aerocool Hexform Mini Tower Micro ATX (for the extra fans and open ventilation style), was 50 EUR but jumped up to 70 EUR. Cooler Master MasterBox Q300L (least desirable, I/O on the side) DeepCool MATREXX 30 Mini Tower Micro ATX (only 1 fan, but CD bay) Sharkoon VS9 (for extra fans and no glass, a big plus; downside is its quite large) Would love to hear your input on the motherboard choice, verification of PSU and SSD for boot and opinions on the case(s). Thank you in advance. Kind regards, JB

My current pc is a ThinkCentre M series prebuilt desktop with an i5 that i got for free, with an evga gtx 1050ti slapped inside along with an ssd or two. I am looking to slowly upgrade it to a fully custom pc, so i was wondering if i could upgrade the case, fans, and power supply first, and then once i have more money, upgrade the mobo, cpu, ect. However, I am having a hard time figuring out whether this Motherboard (IS8XM) will fit in a standard ATX case and take power from a standard power supply. Any insight or alternate solutions would be appreciated.

Okay, so I'm new to pc building, but have wanted to build a gaming rig for a while. I did my research and bought parts that would be compatible and work together. After putting everything together I ran into an issue. The computer powers on but there isn't any output to a display. The fans turn on but nothing else. I have tried everything from reseating all the parts to trying different monitors and cables but nothing works. I have come to the conclusion that the current bios is incompatible with the CPU I have purchased. Therefore, a bios update is needed for the CPU to work with my motherboard. Unfortunately, the motherboard needs a CPU (that I don't have and would need to purchase.) that is compatible with the current bios of the motherboard, in order to to upgrade the BIOS to work with the CPU I have. (A "catch 22" situation.) In addition, the motherboard I have is about 8 years old (but new in box and never used), so I'm wondering if its worth it to take it to a pc repair shop to get the bios updated. Key Points - I don't want to spend money on a new motherboard if updating the BIOS works. - I don't want to have to buy any more parts (i.e. new ram*, new CPU, new PSU, etc.) *(I did buy ram that is slightly faster than originally recommended by the manufacturer, believing it would work and still be recognized but slightly bottlenecked by rest of hardware.) - I want the PC to last a good while before needing to make upgrades. - I don't want to have to spend any more money than completely necessary. I already feel like i spent too much money on this already. - I still need to purchase Windows 11 O.S. - I still want to get more internal cooling fans So here's my question. Should I bother taking the motherboard to a repair shop to get the BIOS updated, or should I just buy a more modern motherboard altogether. Option 1 Get the BIOS updated at a local repair shop to work with my current parts. Pros: - Cheaper - Don't have to get a new motherboard. Cons: - No guarantee that the ram will be compatible after bios update. - Might need to get parts that are more compatible. Option 2 Buy a new motherboard. Pros: - More likely to work with my current parts - Bios flashing would be easier - More "Future Proof" (would last longer before needing an upgrade) Cons: - More expensive option - Might need to buy more compatible parts For reference here is my build so far: CASE: Cooler Master MasterBox Lite 3.1 TG mATX (MCW-L3S3-KGNN-00) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 RAM: TeamGroup "T-Force Vulcan Z" DDR4 3200mhz 2x8gb (16gb total) PSU: Segotep 650W 80 Plus Gold Certified Non-Modular ATX Power Supply GPU: Gaming Radeon RX 6650 XT 128-bit 8GB GDDR6 (RX 6650 XT MECH 2X 8G OC) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-AB350M-D3H (Rev 1.0) Storage: Western Digital 500GB WD Blue SN570 NVMe SSD - Gen3 x4 PCIe 8Gb/s, M.2 2280 & Samsung 870 EVO 500GB SATA 2.5" Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (MZ-77E500) Any and all input and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi peeps, So I'm currently in the market for a new webcam and I'm looking for advice as its been more than 10 years since I last bought one in any capacity. my setup currently consists of a decent 3060ti based gaming pc paired with a 55" LG TV (not ideal due to unforeseen life circumstances) and I sit about 8 ft away. I'm looking for a webcam that can provide a decent zoom for that kind of distance and is preferably simple to set up (factors such as connectivity type and colour etc are no problem to me), my budget is preferably under £100 (170 cad/130 usd). its use case is generally for long distance calls with family/friends and potentially streaming in future. Thanks for any and all advice

Hey and Happy New Year! I'm planning to upgrade my i5-10400F to an i7-10700, I was looking for an i9 but I've discovered that my board's VRM isn't that great so an i9 would be out of the question Basically, my main question is would my motherboard throttle the i7 under heavy load? I do not plan to overclock, so I'll probably buy the F or non-F version. I don't want to move to a new motherboard since I believe the i7-10700 is more than capable at what I need it to do, i.e video editing and streaming. If my motherboard can't then I'll probably replace it and go with AMD since they tend to be a bit cheaper nowadays in my country Thanks in advance!

New budget build (need help on parts n cost)
Linuswasright posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
