Budget is 700$ Country: India Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and School projects Hey guys im new in the "pc build" community and idk what to go with, like i need a stable 60 fps gaming but i cant figure which graphics card to go for, or which cpu to go for. In short, im really confused So my budget is a strict 700$ Help me

Budget (including currency): about $800USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (Valorant, Apex, Minecraft, Siege), School Work, Video Editing, Other details: This is my first PC build and wanted someone to check and see if its good. I don't have Ethernet in my room so I need the WiFi card at the bottom. Also, the RAM was on sale so I already bought it and the SSD is being used to store games on my laptop (I'll take it out as my main drive once my PC is built). I was also wondering if getting another 16gb kit of the same RAM would be the proper way to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb of RAM(as I might buy another in the close future)? Any changes I should make?

I'm looking to build another pc just for gaming. I already have the 3070ti that's in this list that was gifted to me, so all other parts changes/opinions are much appreciated! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6NbyMv

I have 4 chassis fans 1 pump (nzxt kraken x53) and 2 radiator fans; there are 7 plugs on my motherboard that have the same adapter. In the motherboard manual, it says it has two "cha fan", one "m2 fan", one "W pump+", one "aio pump", one "cpu fan", and one "cpu opt". What do all of those mean, and can I plug my chassis fans into slots other than "cha fan"? ty for any advice :).

I have an issue with my GPU. It's a RTX 3080 FE. It won't go over 300-500mhz, even when I'm playing games or running a stress test. The only temporary fix I found is to roll back my nvidia drivers, but when I turn off my pc for the night and turn my pc on the next day, the problem returns. I've tried using ddu to uninstall all the drivers and reinstalling, I've updated everything possible, it didn't work. Anyone know of any fixes? System specs: GGU - RTX 3080 FE CPU - Ryzen 7 3700x Ram - Trident Z 32 gb of 3600 mhz (4 sticks, two 16gb kits) PSU - Corsair RMx 850w Motherboard - MSI B550-A PRO One Samsung 970 Evo 1 TB. I'm running out of ideas and options, please help.

I know console does not keep a consistent 60fps but i was wondering if I could get that from a pc? What kind of cost am I looking at to get something similar on pc? I use to play a lot of MMORPG games but now I like shorter type games so I was hoping to switch to PC gaming. my budget is flexible, I would like something good enough with upgradable parts for later.

What are the most efficient and quietest power supplies at 850w?

I’m building a pc and my estimated wattage is 660w. But I’m unsure on what wattage to get and the efficiency. I’ve been looking at seasonic prime-tx 1000w titanium.

Hi, first post here, first I think it's better to introduce myself, I'm Marco, a composer from Italy, I work in music production and virtual orchestration. Going to the topic , I want to build a slave machine to do the heavy duty during composition for my imac, software side i've already experience and I know what to use, I'll use mainly Vienna Ensemble Pro to link the to machines togheter by the hardware side I've planned a configuration but I'm open to help since I'm not experienced , so to sum up: Budget: Around 500€ and 700€ and I'm planning to buy in eu and italy e-stores , i know is modest but i think that whit this budget , cutting some corneres, I can reach what I'm looking for, I don't want a spaceship but something that can help me to have a better performance ( easily since I'm working on an iMac) Aim: Slave machine for Vienna Ensemble Pro using Kontakt and plugins , and also I'm planning since with a desktop I can to implement some pcie (UAD) and maybe pro tools hd on PCI ( but not mandatory ) Monitors: Here's some question, since I'm considering working headless with remote control from my iMac on this side I don't plan to add money and regarding this i think with the product I'm aiming for it don't makes difference Peripherals: same thing planning to go headless, so I assume WIn 10 pro is the go to OS. Summing Up some of the search I've made, I think I want to go with i5 9400F , since it can have the good ration of power and budget, I know, ryzen can be an option BUT, since some music instruments company like UAD prefers intel, and I've seen plenty of threads for bugs with pairing ryzen and UAD PCIE solutions I'll go the pricier route with intell... but since some bugs were fixed feel free to help me with a ryzen budget solution, I'm open to advices and I can drop Uad if the specs/budget ratio is good. That's a solution I've put togheter on pc partpicker bear in mind that I've already the ssd from sandisk laying around so I'll put it in, I've some question regarding case and powesrupply, I like some of the cases from Corsairs like the Carbide 175r and the 275r but I'm concerned about Heat and airflow, do they permorm bad with this setup? since I can't overclock I wonder if they're any good and could match the specs, and about the videocard, i've picked up that zotac for the 1x pcie slot, but i can go with a cheap 16x so I'm open also on that side for advices , and powersupply I know seasonic are god, but there's something cheaper that can tune better to that cpu and ram? since If i can go cheaper and modular it would be better and i can put money into improved specs rams like some 2666 Thank you so much PCPartPicker Part List: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i5-9400F 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor $124.99 @ Best Buy Motherboard ASRock B365 Pro4 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard $99.98 @ Newegg Memory Kingston FURY 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $277.56 @ Amazon Storage Sabrent Rocket 256 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $49.99 @ Amazon Storage SanDisk SSD PLUS 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $59.99 @ Adorama Video Card Zotac GeForce GT 730 1 GB Video Card Case Thermaltake Versa J22 ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply SeaSonic FOCUS 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply $89.99 @ B&H Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Pro OEM 64-bit $139.99 @ Other World Computing Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $842.49 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-25 14:13 EDT-0400

Please leave your thoughts and let me know about any thing you would do different.

Hello guys, I am planning to build a brand new gaming PC with a budget of around $2000-2500. I have a small list of preliminary parts but I am stuck on what to choose for the motherboard. List so far: cpu: amd 3700x cpu cooler: noctua NH d15 graphics : Msi 2080 super ram: corsair vengeance lpx 32 GB(4X 8 gb sticks) power supply: Corsair RMX 750 Watts Case: corsair 750 D I did a little research and found motherboard as Msi tomahawk B450 Max I realize there is a newer chipset X570 but I am not sure if its worth because of the price to performance ratio. Please give some advice on whether I should get a x570 or stick with tomahawk max (if there are other B450 boards that are better, please link) I was looking at x570 asrock taichi. it had mixed reviews online and I never used asrock boards.

Hello there LTT Forums. VFX artist from Ubisoft, in need to Next-Genify PC, No idea what I'm doing. Every friend told me something different. Came here to ask a thousand people for a unified conclusion instead. Oh dear. 1. Budget & Location. Hovering around 3200 Euros -+ ((For the computer itself)), Bulgaria. 2. Aim. Researching computer graphics at home; Houdini, Neural-Networks, 3d scanning, RTX ON, Minecraft. 3. Monitors. I have 2 1080p ones now, but I want to spice it up a notch to one of those utlra wide curvy ones...Every time I see them I go, man; Future. Also a VR headset. I need to look into that stuff too. ((I am not counting these towards the price I listed.)) 4. Peripherals. Considering that I'm using a keyboard so old it has a PS/2 connector, I will probably need a new one. I like the glory ones. I am using Windows 7 now. I plan to upgrade to either Win 10, or Linux. Possibly Linux. If I am gonna spend a lot of money on a fast computer, might as well also get Linux. I have a few friends who use Linux so I am set on the "People to ask dumb Linux questions." quality of life improvements. 5. But why though. Well for starters; RTX ON, I can't take it anymore. Essentially I want to buy a 2080 Ti and add a computer around it. The last time I went down this rabbit hole was 6 years ago, after which I was so happy to be done with it that I haven't kept up to date with anything since, and I really should have. Trying to get back up to date on things has been one steep hill to climb. My Current PC is a; CPU : Core i7-4790K ((Overclocked though the years)) CPU cooler : NH-D9L GPU : 970 GTX ((Overclocked though the years)) MOBO : Fatal1ty Z87 Killer RAM : A rich assortment of various sticks that my system reports as totaling 32 gb They are mostly DDR3 too. Storage : 120Gb SSD Samsung ((Bought without considering the read/write speeds)) 2tb HDD WesternDigital WD20EFRX ((Bought without considering the read/write speeds)) PSU : Fortron FSP700-50ARN 88+ I am curious of I can reuse anything. But also probably not, it's been running nearly 24/7 for the past 6 years. In fact, all of it has. Without fault. I am really happy about how it held up across the years. If it wasn't for Nvidia's RTX stuff, I probably wouldn't have started upgrading yet. But since I am, let's go bat shit crazy with it. ((Within limits)) Here's where and what I am at now as far as my research and confusing friends go; PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 3.5 GHz 16-Core Processor $749.00 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI MEG X570 GODLIKE EATX AM4 Motherboard $649.99 @ B&H Memory G.Skill Trident Z Neo 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory $186.99 @ Newegg Video Card MSI GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card $1233.99 @ B&H Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $2819.97 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-02-29 20:21 EST-0500 But I also have many questions. Should I buy the Ryzen 9 3950X, OR, Keep my i-7 if it won't bottle neck the GPU that much, and save up for a Threadripper (( maybe 3990X?)) My motherboard needs are lots of fast storage and lots of ram ((I have listed only 32gb on the part picker page, but I plan to slowly buy more after I do this initial investment)), This branches into two questions. RDIMM or LRDIMM or UDIMM ?... I googled it, I read about it, and I still don't get it. RDIMM/LRDIMM are octachannel and that's good, but UDIMM is faster? Which one do I need on my motherboard for ram. ... And what Ram do I need too for that matter. Ram has speed. I didn't know that. What speed do I need? Speaking of storage, what are good suggestions? Half of my friends say PCI-e SSDs, others say M.2s and I am confused. What should I get? What about Intel Optanes? I watched the LTT video on it, but would my line of work benefit from something like that? Can I save money by opting out of nonsense? A lot of these motherboards have these crazy designs going on. I don't care about design. Hence the title. I want it fat, ugly and fast Wait for the 30xx family of GPUs? There are rumors that we'll see Nvidia's next generation mid this year. Should I buy a 2080 -ti now, or hold off on that? Can I buy a 2080 -ti now and sell it an hour before the 30xx is announced? I don't really care about a Case. I am using whatever a friend had in his basement that one time. But if you have any suggestions, I am open to said suggestions. I need to consider cooling more seriously this time. I need something that can keep this working good at full load even during our typical 32C(89.6F) Summers. This build struggles with that and I have every door and hatch on the case open. I also want it quiet. Or as quiet as possible. Also any thoughts on entirely putting the computer in another room for the best quiet possible? That's it for now. I want to make this post to start gathering conflicting opinions on here too. While though my current PC build kept me afloat all this time, there are a lot of little things I missed, like properly matching my ram speeds, getting a good speedy storage, little things that ended up eating me a lot of time in the end. I want to use this new build for at least the next 5-6 years again, until the next "insert_word_here ON" thing shows up. Well, thanks a lot for the time reading this, and thanks any time you might spent on writing a reply too. It is greatly appreciated. PS: I will of course, as the tradition goes, "Deliver." once it's all said and done an the parts are at my doorstep. Edit PS: Here's Louis CK saying "It's not enough fast enough." https://youtu.be/WrahQpIWD08?t=62 I always hear that in my head when thinking about this topic....

So I am finally upgrading!! I already got some parts but i need help with the most important thing: The motherboard! Parts i already have: ATXform case CPUCooler: Coolermaster ML240L RGB M.2 kingston 500GB (OS) 120 Gig SSD 1TB HDD (WD blue) GPU: Gigabyte 1050TI Power: Shark WPM Gold ZERO 650W Monitor: Optix MAG241C 144hz curved Things I am almost certain of getting: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 HyperX 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit (2x8) But now for a good motherboard to all put this together on? (PS i now have a AM3 setup with asus motherboard but asus aura sux ballz!! so might be going with other brand right now) And any other tips for this build? Budget for the board would be 75-150 € (80$ - 162$) (all depends on the difference between a low and mid tear) My main passtime on the computer is CSGO (i know... why upgrade to play CSGO right? ) But i recently started playing star citizen and would love all of the battlefields to finally run without stutter also I hope I compiled this post as it should be and hoping for some enlighted answers greetz from Belgium! BTW love the channel!!

Right, my use-case has changed constantly over the last couple of months (it actually hasn't, but new shit comes out and I see pretty pictures on here and think "ah fuck it go on then" - and now I've lost sight of what I actually need). What I actually need it for, is video recording with a 1080p60 webcam and editing afterwards using Sony Vegas. I record audio via USB interfaces into Ableton simultaneously. Vegas is more GPU intensive than CPU, Ableton obviously more CPU - Most apps I use prefer higher clock speeds. From a gaming perspective, I want to be able to play 1080p60 on at least high settings, but I game probably a couple hours a week max. I want to mainly play GOW and COD/Fortnite. I've also included the monitor I own just for information. My problem, is I don't know what GPU I should aim for, with the remaining budget - and reading various "bang for buck" threads doesn't seem to make anything jump out at me. So please help? This is what I have spec'd, I already have SSD storage - PC Part Picker List This is my monitor My budget is £750, but it is a budget, not a target. I literally just want to get this nailed down, and click buy. Many thanks in advance.

In addition my Plex server will be shared with 1-2 external users. I don't need any peripherals or OS included in the build. Let me know if you need any additional details

What other things should I do after the build? Also asus website +.... drivers, can’t open or run the program( it shows to open in image).cap file. Do I also need to update amd?

My PC Every thing is working, but can’t see the bios on my screen. So I only have one usb right now. Should I flash the bios with usb ? then format and add the windows? Like my screen is black after the pc is on( “display or no signal”) HELP!

So what do I actually need after all the parts arrive ? pcpickers: MyPC Do I need to update the bios or something? (the lady in the amd said that I need to update something) Or should I simply followed the instructions? Also so you guys have discord?
