Hi all, I am hoping to get some help with my system, my system is completely unstable I fresh install windows 10 and sometimes my system would work fine for a couple of days or weeks and then I will have all sorts of Blue Screen non stop on a constant basis until I reinstall windows 10 of which I will keep having different Blue Screen errors until I finally get an installed working windows for another few days to weeks. I have used multiple different Windows install including Official Microsoft Windows 10 Installers My component Asus Z10PE-D16-WS - BIOS 4101 Dual Intel Xeon E5-2698 v4 ES - Boot screen shows (Genuine Intel(R) CPU 0000 @ 2.00GHZ 2x Crucial CT32G4RFD4266 32GB DDR4 2666 MT/s (PC4-21300) CL19 ECC Registered - Boot screen shows (DDR 2400) Samsung 970 EVO 1TB NVMe M.2 GEFORCE GTX 1080 Fully water-cooled Tried the M.2 on both the M.2 slot and on a M.2 PCIe Adapter.

Hey, I plan to build a PC next month and want help refining my part list. I frequently use Adobe Premier, Illustrator, Photoshop, Unity 3d and most importantly play a very wide array of games. My goal Is for the system to run two monitors a 1440p 27" 144hz monitor for primarily gaming, along side a ultra wide 43-49" monitor that i would use primarily for productivity but also for some immersive style games. My current PC I originally built 8 years ago and I have just upgraded some parts over the years i'm hoping for this system to last just as long.

A friend of mine asked me for help to build a PC.... with a budget of $4,000! I have some idea of what to buy. But I thought I would ask the LTT community first. He wants components that will last since he’s not going to purchase the parts until late December. He’s looking for a PC mostly for gaming, but he is also into graphic design. Note that the $4,000 includes the monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello I recently rebuilt my personal gaming pc. My old computer was not handling the new games so I went ahead and bought new everything. I started with a ROG ASUS B450-F GAMING. I decided to go with a Ryzen 5 3600. To back it up I got 2 sticks of 8gb Corsair vengeance RAM so 16gb overall. A 850x Corsair power to get this puppy going. I have a Corsair H60 AIO Cooler on my Ryzen 5 3600, which is at 4.0GHZ and is keeping it cool at 40-43*c idle and 64*c under load.I got a MSI GTX 1660 TI 6gb as my GPU. I was wondering what would be your preference and opinion on this build. would you over clock it more? Would you run Games at max settings ? Please let me know

Heeyyy guys! I'm planning on doing my first build !! Really exciting ! But I could do with some help .. So: 1: I am from the Netherlands, budget is €1500 2: The aim is mainly dull working and browsing, but I would like to boost the system for editing videos and some light gaming (I am into retro games such as red alert, silent hunter, dangerous waters and so on .. ) 3. I would like to run two monitors, mainly because I prefer that setup when working 4. I have: A monitor (LG IPS LED 24MP58VQ-W) and mouse and keyboard. Furthermore I have some HDDs I can salvage, 2x500GB SATA. So, I am looking at buying one additional monitor. And I would need a Windows OS. Furthermore, I would prefer to have Bluetooth in as well somehow ... I have a JBL LIVE 650 BT headphone I would like to connect wireless. Maybe best use an USB adapter for this? I guess thats about it ... So I have been doing some scouting, and I am considering the following set-up: PCPartPicker Part List: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/kLXKcq CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor (€221.95 @ CD-ROM-LAND) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid Lite 240 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (€54.95 @ Azerty) Motherboard: MSI X470 GAMING PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard (€128.95 @ Megekko) ( I have also been considering the MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC @ €145.00 @ Azert or the MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX @ € 110,00 @ Azerty .....

I'm really curious what you guys think !!

Recently bought a RTX 2060 super and was very impressed. But as of today when i open any games EG.(R6, Apex legends, Forza) it ramps up to 1900-2000 MHz, and heats up to 80+ degrees not sure how to go about fixing this problem. I also am only getting 60 to 75 FPS once in game and lowering settings doesn't seem to affect it at all.

After getting great suggestions on my post : I was preparing myself to getting ready with the build when I saw an ad with specs i5 9400F H310 MSI / GIGABYTE 8 GB DDR4 RAM 1 TB HDD ZEBRONICS ATX cabinet GIGABYTE GT 710 GRAPHICS GIGABYTE keyboard and mouse LG 20" LCD all for rupees 30000( $ 420.03 ) I was baffled and did some research to find this post : My question is that is this build any better than my build given above ?

Last December I built myself my first gaming PC. The specs are: *CPU: Intel Core i5-7500 *GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB *RAM: 16GB *Storage: WD Blue 1TB HDD *PSU: Corsiar CX 550W Bronze 80+ On other PC forums, I have asked about upgrading my CPU (cause I have kind of gathered that 4 cores and 4 threads for gaming sometimes isn't enough) but almost everyone has told me it would be more worthwhile to upgrade my GPU instead. I don't have problems per-se with my build, it is just that it struggles with some games I already have downloaded and I would like it to be more powerful I guess. So if I did upgrade my GPU to a 1070 would it be worthwhile? And how badly would it bottleneck my CPU?

I'm looking at building a home Minecraft server for about 10 people. I don't want to pay for expensive hosting anymore. However, I am not sure if my build would run a server without issues. Build: - Ryzen 3 2200g - Stock Cooler - 32gb DDR4 3000Mhz RAM - 256gb M.2 NVME SSD - Gigabyte GA-A320M-S2H Micro ATX Would this build be able to support a spigot server? Thanks

Please put your views of what your best $1700-1800 Intel build is. YOU DO NOT NEED TO INCLUDE WINDOW AND PERIPHERALS JUST PARTS/COMPONENTS!!! Attached is my version...

Sooo i wanted to know if this is a good build for gaming in general https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/qtCWrV#compatibility_notes

Hello I’m currently thinking about building a Mini Form Factor PC that can play rocket league, rust, rainbow six siege, and other games. I’ve been looking around and I’m kinda lost. Can you guys give me some Mini form factor PC build ideas. ITX motherboard would be the goal.

Hello, I am building my first PC and need a little help deciding on the proper way of approaching the selection of these components. I want to be able to game AAA titles as well as a few e-sports titles. I am currently stuck in between picking which of these components would best fit together. I am aware the higher resolution will increase the load on my GPU and it will mostly bottleneck before the CPU, but I am not sure when and how. I have not built a system for myself in the last 10 years. Any specific suggestions and criticisms are most welcome. Also if you guys feel I need to maybe consider some entirely new (component etc), please feel free to share. I need help with deciding which parts work best together for a 60+ FPS - 1440p ultrawide gaming. My Use-case Gaming - AAA + Dota (NO Streaming) Work - Programming, spreadsheets, browsing Movies List of some parts I am considering along with their regional price in USD Monitors (Very little availability in ultrawide) i/o is not very important for me here as long as it does not bottle neck my FPS. Would prefer an ultrawide, good colours and good picture quality. Acer Preditor X34 - $912 (IPS, 100/120Hz, G-sync, 3440x1440 [21:9], 300Nits) LG 34UC79G - $772 IPS, 144H, 2560x1080, 250Nit) Acer is my first choice here. Let me know what you guys think. GPU I need to justify the purchase keeping the monitor in mind while ensuring its somewhat future proof. Only Gaming workloads. RTX 2060 Super - $434 RTX 2070 Super - $561 RTX 2070 - $490 5700 - $434 5700XT - $490 CPU I do not need a very powerful CPU for my day to day work. I need it to not bottle-neck and keep it snappy and future-proof. Ryzen 5 3600 - $225 Ryzen 7 2700 - $260 Rest I will get a 80+Bronze supply, A b450 with good VRM etc. All the above I can fit into my budget. Does not mean I want to spend for something I cant use. A lot of commonly available components are currently not available in my country of residence. Also prices here are pretty high with import duties and taxes. Many products are impossible to get any after sales service for. Thank You

Hi, I am planning to build a budget system for my programming/gaming needs. I have created a list by searching through Amazon for different components for the build. Here are the components that I am planning to use. How will this specifications perform for the coming 6-7 years? Will it be good for gaming? Please provide me with recommendations if any.

I have around $1500 US to spend on a gaming rig. I already have a case (took a chance on the half priced ibuypower snowblind). Trying to go 2070 super. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am trying to build a new gaming PC in India for around 850-900 USD(50000-60000 rupees). I have all the peripherals needed. Can you suggest the best hardware in this price point.?

Hi I am helping a friend in Finland to get his own gaming PC to replace his "Gaming laptop" and l would like to get some confirmations to my build choices. The budget is around 1500€=1650$ but he most likely wants to buy the parts from shop in our country l have calculated the parts from our tech shop that is the cheapest and it is 1 470.60€ = 1 615.12$. Including a monitor. Without the monitor it's 1 311.60€ = 1 440.60 $ Here is the build made with System builder https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J93pgJ I did not find the same monitor that was being sold at our shops but l included the one closest to its specs. I also checked the tier lists for these products that l will include here: Ryzen 5 3600x (A-B tier) with Wraith Spire Stock cooler (E tier) Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (A tier) MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Super GAMING X (B) BitFenix Nova Mesh TG A-RGB, windowed E-ATX -case, black (A-B tier) Corsair 650W VS650, ATX-virtalähde, 80 Plus White, musta (C tier) Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) HyperX Fury, DDR4 3200MHz, CL16, 1.35V, black Kingston 500GB A2000 NVMe PCIe SSD, M.2 2280, 2200/2000 MB/s Samsung 27" S27F350H, FullHD -monitori, black The CPU, RAM and Motherboard are bought in a bundle but there are many other bundles to choose from. The CPU cooler and power supply can be upgraded when my friend decides that he needs it. Also more space isn't needed for now. No need for OC, we got an extra one already. There will be only one monitor for now, but will some day upgraded and the old one included so 2-3 later He will also need to buy a keyboard but we haven't decided on that yet. Does everything work with everything? Should l save from other parts to upgrade others or is this balanced enough?

DISCLAIMER: I know some of these parts can be a little overkill and unnecessary, but not only is the build for performance, but also for looks. Also do keep in mind that I am only 14, and cannot earn money that well. Also these parts are for future proofing too. Alright, now with the disclaimer out of the way let me tell a little before listing the parts. So basically I have set my budget to about $2k USD, now I only have $447 USD atm, but I am saving up for this. Now i also just wanna note that i live in Denmark so the prices are different, the build is about 13.500k DKK. Now my aim with the pc is mainly heavy gaming (For example RTX supported games) and some streaming and video editing. Now I do mainly play R6 but I wanna be able to run a lot of games comfortably at 144+ FPS. Now to my monitor, I currently have an AOC 144Hz 24" monitor (Broke my MSI Mag241c 24" 144Hz) now I do plan on getting more monitor too, and probably a 240Hz also. I am buying Windows home, and I don't need new peripherals. I am also upgrading cuz my pc is just not doing it for me, it simply cannot do what I need. Now for the parts: MOBO: Asrock Taichi x570 Cpu: AMD ryzen 3700x Graphics Card: Gigabyte Windforce 2070 Super (White edition) Cooler: Corsair H100i RGB Platinum SE Fans: Corsair LL120 white Power Supply: Corsair RMx 750 white (Already own) RAM: g.skill tridentZ NEO 2x8 GB 3600MHz HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB M.2 NVMe: Corsair Force MP600 500gb or Samsung 970 evo 1tb Case: NZXT H510 Now simply I just wanna know if these parts are good together, both in terms of looks and performance. Feel free to leave tips, ideas, constructive criticism, help, and anything else that could help this build and me out.

I am trying to get together a plan to build a powerful pc. I am totally inexperienced at choosing parts and have never done this before. I have a budget of about 600-700 UK pounds. I want to be able to game at a decent FPS without lag and be able to perform other tasks on the other hand also. Games I usually play are rocket league, subnautica, Gmod and ark (if it runs). My most played game is Rocket league at which u max out at about 35 FPS on my laptop. Other things I would use the pc for could include getting my school work done and other general things. I plan to in the future get a double monitor set up. What I need help with is just picking a good PC to get the most for my money and would love any help you guys can provide me with. In the future I will be planning on remodeling the pc so if things can be retrofitted that would be amazing. Thanks guys Faraxle

Hello all, This is my first go at things and I’m still a little ways from purchasing but I did some research and watch some videos. Here is what I came up with. -budget: 1300$ max -used mainly for videos games like ‘league of legends’ and ‘smite’ upon others. Along with some productivity. I am not an intensive gamer but I would like to run 60 frames at 1080p. -is this a balanced build?/I’m aware there is always some bottleneck but where might be the most severe places? -where might I improve, or what is not nessassry/downgrable. -any other suggestions or tips, useful websites. -build is from part picker -Thank you!
