A friend of mine is planning a build, while talking we pretty much got stuck on making a decision The budget is not a problem, but he doesn't want to spend on something he won't use, which makes sense. Here's what he plans to do: Front-end Development for Web, but has plans to learn / use Back-end Little to no gaming, mostly League of Legends in 1080p, will likely switch to 1440p Would like to learn Photoshop and Adobe XD Even if he doesn't game much, he would like to have the option of being able to upgrade the PC further. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Having said all of that, here's what I had in mind and also my doubts / comments on each of them: AM4 - Ryzen 5600G or 5700G - No GPU If I recall correctly Photoshop can be GPU accelerated, what if it doesn't run well on integrated graphics? AM4 is the past gen, so I feel he would be spending money on something new... but old, if that makes sense AM4 - Ryzen 5600 or 5700 - RTX 3050 or 3060 The GPU seems to be more than enough for his little gaming and Photoshop Same concern regarding "purchasing something new but old gen", for both the CPU and GPU AM5 - Ryzen 8XXXG - No GPU He would be on current gen and looks like the integrated graphics are more than enough for what he does Even if the budget is not a problem, I wonder if it's money well spent or not I've seen videos giving a bad review to Ryzen 8000 APUs AM5 - Ryzen 7600 - RTX 4060 Even if Ryzen 9000 and RTX 5000 are around the corner, these components are new enough He probably will not need to upgrade the PC for quite some time What are your thoughts on these builds? Do you have any other to suggest? (explain your suggestion, please) For Intel, is there anything newer than AM4 but not as expensive as AM5 that we should take a look at?

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

This is a guide for anyone new to PC building who would like to know what FPS numbers mean, why they are important, and what to look for when considering your first gaming PC. So what is FPS? Why does it matter? Why do people choose PC over consoles for more FPS and more settings? What does it all mean? Well, FPS - Frames Per Second. In reality, what video is - is a stream of still images sent to your screen very quickly. When you watch TV, what you are seeing is actually 26-27 different STILL images per second that depicts motion. Consoles like Xbox and PlayStation are generally limited to 60 FPS maximum, and while this is fine, you can have a more premium gaming experience on PC with higher FPS and more settings options and customization available. Plus, you don't have to pay for PlayStation/Xbox Live membership for online gaming which is a pretty nice bonus. Most games on PC these days have the ability to run what is called a "Benchmark" - a test that evaluates the overall performance of a given game. And even if a benchmark is unavailable, there is ALWAYS a way to display your current FPS while playing, and you can assess your performance and tweak your settings that way. Keep in mind that some games are more demanding than others. A good way to judge what hardware is right for you is to share what games you play most. Plenty of testing is done on PC Hardware when it comes to market and what hardware you need for what games you play with your desired level of performance should be easy to determine - just ask any PC enthusiast and they should be able to tell you. PC games come with settings presets that set all graphical settings to a predetermined level for a given overall experience. "High" Graphics settings presets are considered the standard for PC enthusiasts as it gives you high visual fidelity and detail without needlessly throwing away performance. "Very High"/"Ultra" settings are nice but usually cost a massive amount of performance for only small differences in overall image quality. So what numbers are important, what should you look for, and what are ideal numbers? Well, the two most important metrics in gaming performance are "Average FPS" and "1% Lows". Average FPS is the average framerate of the given test, while 1% lows show when the PC struggles with a particularly demanding area or images. The range of different Average FPS experiences is summarized below: 20 FPS or Less: Unplayable - The game will be so studdery, slow, and unresponsive that you will genuinely not enjoy the experience, and will probably stop playing. 30 FPS: Not Very Fun, but Tolerable for Some. This will feel sluggish and fairly slow, especially when demanding areas drop your FPS under 30, but it can be played if absolutely necessary. 45 FPS: Playable - While not very responsive or smooth, it can be somewhat enjoyable, especially if dips in performance from demanding areas are occasional and don't drop the FPS into the 30's very often. 60 FPS: The Basic Standard - at 60 FPS your game will appear visually smooth but you may notice the responsiveness between your inputs and what happens on screen is not quite as nice as you would like. When demanding areas drop the FPS into the low 50's and high 40's, these moments are certainly not ideal either. 75 FPS - The Bang For Buck - At 75 FPS, a Game not only appears very visually smooth, but the responsiveness is also quite nice and fast enough to satisfy most gamers. Even demanding areas that drop FPS into the low 60's don't really ruin the experience and this is exactly why entry-level budget gaming PC monitors are 75-Hz rated (Hz is basically the max FPS the screen itself can display, also known as "refresh rate"). 90 FPS: The Enthusiast Standard - PC enthusiasts usually game on PC for the advanced performance over a console. 90 FPS and beyond is where this difference truly shines. At 90 FPS, your game will feel incredibly responsive, basically instantaneous, and will remain very responsive even in demanding areas that drop FPS into the 70's. 100 FPS - The Premium/Ideal Target. 100 FPS Average may not seem a lot different than 90 FPS, but the important difference is that even the most demanding areas of a game with the biggest drops will likely keep the FPS above 75. This means that the game will remain responsive and the experience will remain premium and smooth pretty much no matter what happens. I recommend 90-100 FPS Average for most people. 120 FPS: The Enthusiast High-End/Flagship Experience - My personal favorite way to play. Why? Well, while I will admit I don't really see any gains in the gaming experience above about 100 FPS; if you game runs at 120 average, then your lows will probably remain above 90 FPS meaning your entire gaming experience is as premium as it gets - So fast and responsive that you truly feel no desire to go any further even in the most demanding areas of a game. 144 FPS and Beyond: Overkill - Many Gaming Monitors are rated at 144 Hz and they are affordable for most and the perfect choice for most gamers. However, there is no need for your game to actually run this fast. Linus himself has shown in several tests that even professional E-Sports gamers - people who get paid an actual salary to play video games - have no performance improvement when going beyond 144 Hz/FPS. Some people may claim they feel a difference and they are welcome to their opinion, but there is no way for them to prove that claim, and someone new to PC gaming certainly doesn't need to be worrying about such things. So there you go, now you can decide what level of performance you want your Gaming PC to achieve, and you can now use this knowledge to ask someone experienced with PCs (we are all happy to help you here at LTT Forums) to recommend a given pre-built PC or recommend hardware for you to build your own. This is the very first decision towards getting your first gaming PC. Welcome aboard!

Country: United States After many days and many hours of research, this is the build I came up with. I went with the Ryzen 7 7800x3d because supposedly from many people it's simply the best cpu on the market. Some might say the ryzen 9 but apparently something about it is better. I was going to do the 4090 for graphics card but then found that the 7900xtx is also very good and performs nearly as good as the 4090 but half the price. Also the 5000 series will release later this year and I will likely upgrade to that when the time comes. So the 7900xtx will suit me for that time period. I've looked at many builds with this case and they are absolutely stunning. Also the cooler, ssd, and ram are apparently pretty good. I went with 32g cus that's whats running really well for people rn. I have some questions, 1. When the 5000 series comes out will I be able to upgrade to it with this build or would I need to upgrade also the cpu and or motherboard? 2. Should I buy some reverse fans because I am worried that I won't have enough cooling in this build. 3. Also I've looked into the easy stuff on building a pc like installing ram and the cpu but I am clueless on everything else on where things should go and what to put where. I know generally where things go like the aio but I'm worried about where I put the cables for cable management and if I break anything I'll be devastated and won't know what to do 4. Would this build last me? I forgot but here's the link https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jQm9ZJ

Budget (including currency): 1000 USD / ~4000 PLN Country: Poland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: When it comes to games I will play GTA 5, Elite Dangerous, Halo Infinite, Cyber Punk 2077. The biggest tool on the hardware (especially GPU) will be probably my development job in machine learning – training models, evaluating them, building apps around them. Other details: These are the parts that I plan to build. RTX will be used thus lowering its cost to around 372 USD. Any suggestions GPU RTX ASUS TUF 3070 Ti CPU AMD Ryzen 5 5600X MB ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 RAM Kingston fury renegade ddr4 32GB 3600 mhz POWER MSI MAG A550BN 550W CASE Genesis Irid 503 V2 (NPC-1558) SSD Lexar NM710 2TB M.2 2280 PCI-E x4 Gen4 NVMe

Budget (including currency): 2000 USD (yes I'm slightly over budget for this pick, but that's acceptable) Country: Hongkong/China & US (I can get the parts from the US, I don't think there'll be an issue with shipping or acquiring them to HK) Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: See for more detailed explantion. Mostly web surfing, moderate gaming, most of the performence requirements will be used to play around ML and generative AIs. Other detail: (planned) CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor ($343.99 @ Amazon) [choice between Ryzen 7 7800X3D and 13700K. I want the iGPU for backup and felt I don't need comparable or better gaming performence. I don't think I need the extra cores from the 14700s or i9/Ryzen 9. LGA 1700 is sad but if I needed an upgrade I'm willing to get a new motherboard. It's probably overkill anyway] CPU Cooler: Deepcool AK620 ZERO DARK 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler ($55.99 @ Amazon) [No specific reason, just believed AIO isn't as needed or CPU cooling is that necessary anyway.] Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II Micro ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($199.99 @ ASUS) [This is a Mobo I can get locally. No real reason other than a B-chipset, microATX, and a pricy brand. All of which is just passion choices] Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-7000 CL40 Memory ($149.99 @ Corsair) [I decided to lower the RAM size for a high clock speed, probably got sold snake oil] Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($169.99 @ Best Buy) [No particular reason] Storage: Seagate BarraCuda 4 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For $0.00) Video Card: MSI VENTUS 3X OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16 GB Video Card ($882.93 @ Amazon) [4070 Ti Super is a must, brand and model, I'm told, is not as important] Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower Case ($104.99 @ Corsair) [Avalible and recommended by pcpartpicker] Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply [I thought 850W should suffice, matching brand and form factor] https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Tp2JWt Almost everything except for the 4070 Ti Super and micro ATX for a mid-tower (well those two are arguble too) is open to suggestions.

Budget (including currency): $1400 is the HIGHEST he wants to spend, but i want to help him spend less Country: usa Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Fortnite VERY competitively, thats basically the only thing, he wants about 400+fps on 1080p high 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 is what i was thinking, hes fairly convinced that more money=more performance, so trying to save his wallet haha, this is what i came up with PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QgjFn6 CPU: Intel Core i5-12600KF 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor ($154.65 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Thermalright Frozen Notte ARGB 72.37 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($50.90 @ Amazon) Motherboard: ASRock Z690 Pro RS ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($119.99 @ Amazon) Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ($47.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($74.99 @ B&H) Video Card: Asus DUAL OC GeForce RTX 4060 8 GB Video Card ($309.00 @ B&H) Case: Fractal Design Pop Air RGB ATX Mid Tower Case ($84.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.00 @ MSI) Case Fan: Thermalright TL-C12C-S 66.17 CFM 120 mm Fan ($6.59 @ Amazon) Total: $938.10 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2024-04-12 21:42 EDT-0400

Budget (including currency): Around £500 ($600) is my ideal top range Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Heavy gaming & heavy video editing (demanding After Effects animations, Premiere Pro, etc.) Other details: Here's my current build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Constipated_Crow/saved/#view=4hKGjX I'm guessing that my current bottleneck is my CPU (i7 4790k) - since it's around a decade old at this point. I'm also stuck with my ancient motherboard that only supports DDR3 RAM, so I'm ideally looking to upgrade a few things in my system: Motherboard: This will need to be upgraded anyways, since the architecture on my MOBO is really ancient. CPU: I'd love to get a powerful CPU as an upgrade, as I do relatively heavy gaming & video editing. PSU: My PSU is also around a decade old at this point, so I'd like to upgrade that too. RAM: DDR4 is the goal - 32gb would be a minimum (64 would be ideal if I can get it within my budget) for my video editing. Any and all help/suggestions would be appreciated, as I've been absent from the "cutting edge components" scene for a while, so I have no idea what's good value right now. Do you agree with my list of the 4 components I'd like to upgrade? Or is there a better route I can take to upgrade my PC? My graphics card (GTX 1080) is still okay ish in my opinion, as it's probably the most powerful (and power-hungry) component I have right now. I may upgrade it in the future, but right now, I'm relatively happy with it - I think the other components are a bigger priority atm. My storage isn't ideal either. I'd love to get M.2 drives instead of my slower SSDs, but I think that'll have to wait too. I'd like to spend my £500 budget on the 4 components I listed above, and have the option of upgrading my storage down the line. Thanks in advance!

I'm building my new rig , for this one I want to go smaller foot print for the system , i want to have a horizontal lay out (as pictured) and i want the psu PSU under the motherboard area . I've chosen the 7950X3D for productivity reason's and will whack one of my 3080ti's and eventually a 3090 (once i mod it from blower to 120mm fans). I've never built outside of atx ,and fell overwhelmed with all the itx and matx case's. I was hoping one of you guy's could suggest a few ITX/MATX case's that allow for such a layout . or one of those fancy compact case's i see on YT occasionally

Good/Bad please explain why and what you would have done diff. Oh and I am truly hoping when the 50 NVidia series comes out (next year??) I'll be able to upgrade the GPU with this new system... just have to save those penny's again.

My only concern is bottlenecking and since I don't want to change anything but my GPU I know bottlenecking can't be avoided but still I don't know what would be the best case in this scenario. Maybe I need to look for weaker GPU'S? I really don't know. (I don't want to buy second hand components also). I appreciate ANY opinion at this point. Just please help me make the right choice. My current setup : Processor :i5-9400F 2.90 GHZ GPU : 1060 GTX 3GB Motherboard : B360M-A SOCKET LGA1151 PSU : 500 W RAM : 24 GB 2400 MHZ Let me know If I need to be more specific with any information.

Budget (including currency): 20k SEK (Swedish Crowns), which is about 1930 USD Country: Sweden Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Main use is gaming (games like Star Citizen, Cyberpunk 2077, Helldivers, FFXIV) and everyday use. I don't do any video editing or animation/rendering. Other details: Hello! I've managed to save money during my time at university and I'm now planning to buy some parts when I graduate. These are the parts I am planning to buy: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX X670E-F GAMING WIFI RAM: Kingston 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL36 FURY Beast GPU: GeForce RTX 4070 Super (haven't decided which variant yet) At current prices these parts would total to about 19.1k-19.9k SEK(about 1838-1915 USD), depending on which variant of the GPU I choose. I intend to use the new parts with some of my current parts: CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S PSU: Corsair AX860 Does this look good for a PC that would run 1440p games at mid-high settings at 90+ FPS? Any compatibility issues at all? I've heard from a friend that one should be careful when choosing RAM for AM5 because of potential instability issues, but according to the Asus site for checking memory compatibility, the RAM I have chosen (Part no. KF560C36BBEK2-32) is supported. Would greatly appreciate any input! EDIT: Thank you for the responses so far! I have seen the errors of my ways in the choice of motherboard and can see that a B650 will be enough for me, and that I can get better RAM with the money I save from that. Also, here are some additional specs that might be relevant: Storage (I do have more drives but I think these are the most relevant): OS Drive: Intel 530 Series 180GB Games Drive: Samsung M.2 SSD 970 EVO PLUS 2TB Case: Fractal Design North (mesh version)

Budget (including currency): 650€ Country: Portugal Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Some AAA games (Shadow of the Tomb Raider), light photo and video editing, deskwork in general Other details: No peripherals needed as it's an upgrade from another build. No storage also needed because I will repurpose the disk from the dead laptop (recently upgraded from hdd to ssd) Hey everyone, I need some feedback for a build that will be serving as a base for future upgrades. My laptop had fried and I've decided it was cheaper to build a desktop instead of spending the double of the money on a new laptop. I've created this build and I wanted your opinion about it in terms of component compatibility and if the cooling solution will be enough to the PC be inside a desk cabinet with poor ventilation. My concerns is that the stock cooler won't withstand that poor ventilation so I would appreciate more feedback about the cooling solutions!

i5-8600k and Hyper 212 evo, what should I do?
Clambake5557 posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
Budget (including currency): <$1,000 Country: United States of America PCPARTPICKER LIST I currently have an I5-8600k and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO that I got for free from a computer class (s/o to the instructor). I am not sure what I would use this build for, but here are some ideas I had: Dedicated VR PC in either the basement or living room hooked up to a TV (Blade and Sorcery, Beat Saber, Blaston, KTANE). Give the computer to a friend/family member as a gift Back-up storage or NAS The part list is linked above, I appreciate all feedback and suggestions for what to do with the build. This would be the 2nd PC build I have ever done. -
Hi Guys, First post here, not too sure in protocol so I’ll just jump right in with my issue. Hope someone can help. I purchased a 5 year old pc from a friend and wanted a CPU and GPU upgrade. I opted for a 7900xtx and a Ryzen 5 5700x3d. 1. Will the RM750x be sufficient for this build? 2. The GPU requires 3x8 pin cables, I currently have 1 sleeved cable that branches off into 2 6+2 cables from the old GPU in place. Is there anything I can do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Connor
