Budget (300$ or 400$): Country: US Hello everyone, I am currently building my own gaming PC and I have been adjusting my part list to create the perfect rig for my needs. However, with recent news about the MSI situation, I am now hesitant to go with the motherboard that I had chosen from that brand. As I plan to use my PC for gaming, streaming, programming, 3D modeling, machine learning, and deep learning, I am looking for a motherboard that can handle my needs and is reliable. My budget for the motherboard is preferably around $300 to $400. I would appreciate any recommendations or advice from the community on what motherboard to choose. As for the rest of the parts I'll list them down below. Intel Core i7-12700F 2.1 GHz 12-Core Processor (purchased) Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler (not purchased) TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (not purchased) Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive (not purchased) EVGA XC3 ULTRA GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 10GB 10GB Video Card (not purchased) or 4080 12gb? Phanteks Eclipse P600S ATX Mid Tower Case comes with x3 fans I believe (purchased) EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (not purchased) Noctua A14 industrialPPC-3000 PWM 158.5 CFM 140 mm Fan x2 (not purchased) total my budget for this entire build would be roughly 2k not including tax.

Budget (including currency): $900 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games would be mostly destiny 2, Apex legends, Rainbow six siege, etc. Will be using PC for streaming and content creation as well. So should be able to handle streaming and gaming at the same time. Already have monitor, mouse, keyboard, microphone etc. Just need the PC. Planning to buy in a couple weeks to a month. Would like to be running at 2k/120fps but I know realistically with my budget I'm probably looking at 1080p/120fps. Also would like to say I'm all about saving money over appearance. So cheaper the better.

Budget (including currency): preferably under 200 dollars Country: Indonesia Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: Editing videos and gaming on medium settings Other details current PC: i3 4130 venomrx h81 motherboard 2x4 ddr3 ram no GPU 1 tb hdd and a 230-watt power supply I have 4 choices: choice 1 I could chug in a Rx 550 or a gt 1030 ( or recommend me an upgrade to another gpu well fitted in my power supply limitations) choice 2 i could upgrade my CPU to an i5 4460 or an i7 4790 but not be able to put a GPU choice 3 i can swap my power supply to a 550-watt power supply, upgrade my ram to 8x2 ram, upgrade my CPU to an i5 4460, and chug in an rx 6600 xt in return for a lot of my money choice 4 i decide that this is all too confusing and save up for another year to get myself an i3 12100f, 16GB ram, with rx 6600 xt edit: Keep in mind this is my first ever post and this isn't my first language, so I apologize if there is any discrepancies

Hello!!! I don't know much about the PC world but I want to change my power supply since I recently bought an RX 6600 XT. My old PSU is a Gigabyte GP-P450B/450W. I want to change it to not have problems with the RX and to make other improvements to my pc in the future. The following 3 PSUs are in my budget range, which of these 3 would you recommend? -Corsair CX550F RGB -Corsair CV650 -Cougar BXM700 I hope you can help me choose the best one and sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker

Budget (including currency): Hoping it won't go past $500 (~P25,000 here) Country: Philippines Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming: at 1080p, Subnautica, Minecraft (modded), CSGO, Outlast, Bloons TD 6, GTA V, Fallout NV. I'm not really into the big AAA titles with super realistic graphics, more so thinking of playing older 2010s games and newer indie games, meaning they're not the most graphic demanding games Productivity: Krita, 6k resolution digital art work, Da Vinci Resolve, 720p resolution video work (used to be Filmora 'til I realized Da Vinci is free) 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): Recently got into PC building™ and realized how bad my current set up is, like, really bad. So if you think the parts I want to upgrade might look a bit dated in today's standards, then you need to look at what I'm using right now (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DfJFRv) I couldn't list down case or PSU because pcpartpicker doesn't have them in their catalogue, but it's all packed in an Intex IT-516 case, with the PSU being built in to it, most likely not manufactured from reputable brands (It uses spaghetti cables so that probably gives you a good idea on the quality of it). Big red flags you may have noticed is how I don't have an SSD running as boot drive, using only single channel RAM (at a sad 2400mHz due to my mobo + CPU combo) or that I have a poor man's GT 1030 as my graphics card, where a few benchmarks later I've come to realize this is the one component I really need to upgrade the most. With that in mind, I'm looking to upgrade my current rig into something that's much more manageable (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CDwwLs) ofc i'll still be keeping my old hard drive Good news is, I already have the dual channel RAM and the NVMe SSD, they're sitting right here on my desk right now as I'm typing this, I will be installing them by the weekend. Now if you look at the part list you'll notice how everything is a lot costly, no idea why the CV550 costs like that, but here in my country, local shops sell them for much cheaper. And I plan to get a used 1660 from Facebook marketplace, hopefully making everything cost under $500. Unsure if I'll buy everything in bulk, will probably get GPU first, then get everything else after so I can half case swap (I say half since I'd only really case swap the GPU and the HDD) Peripherals I don't really mind them, I'm sporting a 60hz monitor and maybe I'll get a 75hz one in the future. lmk what your thoughts are ^^ perhaps you have part suggestions that do better for around the same price, or maybe I need a higher wattage for my GPU + CPU combo, would love to know!

I'm interested in experimenting further with my audio setup. I'm particular about getting an interface that allows me to control most audio aspects without opening audio settings. I'm looking for some Budget Options mostly or gaming, content consumption and lite content creation. This Behringer USB audio interface is what started me on this journey so do let me know if it's any good or if you have any experience with the Behringer brand. As far as I can tell, they seem to make somewhat decent knockoffs of Beyerdynamic's stuff and others. My Region is Malaysia Headphone: Samson SR850s Microphone: BM800 (apparently a knockoff of the Neewer NW-800, having watched a few youtube vids it apparently works well if given some power) My main perquisites is that it has to have: 1. Headphone Amp (or whatever the thing that drives more power to the headphones that makes it sound fuller/richer/louder) 2. Mic Amp (i have a shitty XLR mic that apparently works well if supplied with some power) 3. Some kind of Volume Control (i like dedicated hardware controls)

Hi community, i am looking for a budget mechanical keyboard and at the moment i got my eyes on cooler master ck530 v2. It used TTC switch which i think its a downgrade from the original Gateron version but i don't think its not really an issue within the price range and its a full RGB and comes with a wrist wrest so not so bad i guess. Do you have a better recommendation?

Budget (including currency): 500-700 USD The Lower the better Country: United States of America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: The "beefiest" Game would likely be Forza Horizon 5 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): PC Part Picker Parts List: LINK. Also let me know if I missed anything I need. The only experience I have is upgrading an Optiplex so I am very new. GPU is a place filler (Will buy a better used one) And I already have a boot drive

Budget (including currency): 850 EUR (900.88$) Country: Montenegro (In Eurozone, but not in EU yet) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Classic work (Excel, Illustrator, Word, …), Civilization 6, CS:GO, Crusader Kings 3, Forza Horizon 4/5, Kerbal Space Program 2, OW2, HUMANKIND Other details Now I want to build a new PC but maybe keep the Case and SSDs (SHOULD I?), IDKN about keeping the RAM. So I found 2 builds that I can get, both based around i3-12100F. I need the PC for normal work and gaming on the weekend, nothing insane just want 60+fps on 1080p with high settings. I mean my current PC can run almost every game on low-medium 1080p with stable 30+fps, but I think it's time for an upgrade. I currently have the following: CPU: i5-7500k GPU: Asus Strix 950Ti 2XOC MOBO: Gigabyte Gaming 3 H270 rev. 1.0 RAM: KINGSTON Fury DDR4 8GB 2400Mhz (X2) SSD: SAMSUNG EVO 850 250GB, KINGSTON A400 960GB PSU: 1000W IBM Server PSU I got from a friend CASE: Tempered glass and aluminium MOUSE: Razer Diamondback KEYBOARDS: Asus Strix Tactic Pro Cheery MX Brown, MS ELITE C521 HEADSETS: Razer Kraken V2, HyperX Cloud II Gunmetal, Logitech Artemis Spectrum G933 -------------------------------------- Websites I used to choose parts (I can order stuff online from ebay/amazon... only if it's under 75$ because over that I have to pay tax of 21%): https://www.multicom.me/ https://pc-gamer.me/ 2 combos I fashioned up that I like with prices

Budget (including currency): $200-$300 AUD (give or take) Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: BeamNG.drive, Assetto Corsa, Minecraft, Euro/American Truck Sim, Race Room Racing Experience, NASCAR Heat 5, Tony Stewarts Sprintcar Racing/All American Racing, World of Outlaws 2002, Dirt track racing 2, screen recording, video editing (although i manage to cope on my school laptop, 4gb of ram, intel celeron and integrated graphics). Other details I am going to buy and $80 AUD pc from the tip shop (all working). It is a HP office computer with and Intel Core i5 4670 at 3.4 GHZ , 8 GB of ram (I'm guessing DDR3 but I don't know), 500 GB HDD (I will upgrade this too) and it has Windows 10 pro pre-installed. I will upgrade this eventually but I need a graphics card first and my birthday is coming up and my parents don't know what to get me. I am looking at an RTX 3050 but I reckon I'll be CPU bottle-necked. I do want to get a good one that is cheap as I will upgrade the CPU eventually. I don't have a lot of money so please don't suggest I just buy brand new parts and build one myself, I just can't afford it. There are a few computers here but this one is the best, the CPU is more advanced. The one on the far right on the top is the one I'm looking at.

Since with most servers high clock speeds per core aren't really required it more how many cores and threads the chip has and amount of cache. Whilst also keeping it under a modest wattage. I got the idea recently when watching an Iceberg tech video where he accquired an 8C/16T Xeon E5 2670 for £8. However the motherboards cost from £40 to £120. But you can get fairly cheap DDR3 kits on Ebay. Or would it be more worth it to buy a newer generation Xeon (like 4-5 years newer than 2012) as the motherboards might be more common so therefore cheaper? As in regards for the rest of the build the other parts could be found for fairly low cost.

Hello everybody, I just bought an old Dell Optiplex 790 from my schools office. (Before going into any details i just want to say that this is literally the first time in my life im doing anything pc related.) It has an Intel Core i3, 4GB of RAM and Windows 7, it came with a 500GB HDD. Im on an incredibly tight budget by which I mean the whole pc cost me 45€. I do already have some contacts about the GPU and maybe RAM. I want to use this pc mainly for stuff like sfm or blender, while still being able to play games like tf2 and War Thunder. Can any wise minds help me? CPU: IntelCore i3-2100 3.10GHz

Pictures are in the PcPartPicker link - https://pcpartpicker.com/b/DLx6Mp ryzen 1300x , 8gb ram, and a "broken" rx470(bios update and gpu ran games fine.) i ran away with this bundle for 64 DOLLARS!! A STEAL IF U ASK ME. Case was found local and was pretty disgusting.. Pretty much a common occurrence since I almost ALWAYS get the case local. The PSU, while overkill was missing the modular GPU cables, so i had to buy an adapter off ebay(totaled into PSU price) MOLEX-to-6pin, a320 MOBO and 120gb SSD were got on ebay Ended up selling the PC for $450 and it only cost about $200. I know that the PC needs storage but i have terrible luck buying hdd's second hand (more dead drives than working drives in inventory atm) Whats crazy about this build is that i saw them trying to sell it on my local selling sites like half a year later. Same ghetto Molex-to-6pin and parts and everything. AND HE WAS ASKING FOR $600!! IDK if they sold it or not but they had my contact info and never once hit me up about anything wrong with the PC. note: this build is not recent

I'm thinking of doing voice over work and voice acting work, but I don't want to go all in at the moment and get a lot of really expensive equipment, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for cheap microphones that would do well for this kind of work. Requirements: - Not handheld (comes with a boom arm) - The microphone picks up all sound (i.e. it picks up when I'm yelling, etc) - Has a pop filter - Preferably USB

Currently using an ASUS VG245 at 1080p 75 hz it runs fine but i found a good deal on an ultra-wide LG 29WN600-W which is still 1080 75 hz but supports displayport as well as my graphics card. Would it be worth taking the extra cash to get a display port? will it affect much or should i just continue to use my HDMI cable and not waste the extra cash. If there are benefits what would they be?
