Budget (including currency): $2500 - $3000 AUD Country: Australia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly for gaming, although I don't currently play games that require high graphics I would still love to have the option there if I choose to in future. I am also a graphic designer so need a computer that would run Adobe Programs with ease. Other details (I've attached my current list) and am planning on buying at the end of the year/early next year, I already have a monitor that supports up to 1440p. Will also need to purchase an OS https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/3wTkqm This is also the link to the build!

Budget (including currency): 2000-2500dollar equivalent Country: india Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: editing mainly Other details: rtx 3080 12gb oc, intel 7 12700k Want to do a new build, please suggest z690 boards which will be in each price category. And also to go with ddr4 or ddr5 n also which mhz speed respectively!

Budget (including currency): 2000dollar equivalent Country: india Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly video editing, premiere pro and after effects and adobe audition. Other details: New build, graphic card: rtx 3080 12gb, was waiting for ryzen 7000 launch news, n it seems 7000 series will be expensive and also needing more tdp, so as an individual creator (new) i wanna make an 5900x system, mainly for creation with hardly ever playing games. Please suggest if i should buy 5900x now or wait for 7000 release (will that make 5900x's price drop even more?)

Budget (including currency): RM7500-8000 Country: Malaysia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I currently play games like, Dota, Bioshock Infinite, God of War, Nier Automata, It Takes Two, Forza Horizon, and will mostly place games within these categories. And I use applications such as Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop quite often, but only as a hobby. I also appreciate good sound quality output from the PC, as I am also using the Logitech Z906 as my speakers now. 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): Only the PC is required because I am starting from nothing and have nothing to upgrade from, as I already a set of good speakers, mouse and keyboard (Logitech MX Masters 3S & MX Mechanical). Monitor (Viewsonic VA2932-MHD) is reasonable as well, which is not a priority. I hope that I can make a full black build, as I think that is the cleanest look for my set up. No RGB Is required. Not sure about the exact size of the PC that I need, but would definitely want something like the Fractal Torrent Nano/Compact, if possible. As the smaller size would be greatly appreciated, as real estate is slightly limited on my desk/floor. Currently, I have been running all my tasks and work on laptops, Asus GL752VW(Permanently mine), Asus FA701I(Not permanently mine) and a Macbook Pro 2020 13 Inch for work (Two Ports). And I am quite tired of the switching of everything, whenever I am doing different tasks between the two windows laptop. I actually have been wanting to have my own PC ever since I was a teenager, because I used to have my own back then, but it was shared between my brother and I, and it was placed in my living room. But ever since I have had my own room, I have just gotten laptops to save spaces, but the sound and heat dissipation is not efficient, and loud from the laptops. And is it even possible to build a PC, without the graphics card installed first, then later on, only adding one down the road, once everything else is set up in the PC itself? Would it still be functional? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, as I have been thinking about this for the longest times, but never really had the courage, as I know that PC components are really fragile, and I dont want to mess anything up. I have watched plenty of videos on youtube, but the combination of CPU, Motherboard and Graphics Card compatibilities are quite intimidating to me, as I am not sure which goes well with what without causing any bottlenecks. If are any requirements to have a look at my current set up, please just let me know, as I would be glad to share. Thanks to whoever spent their precious time in going through this and assisting me as well, it is very kind of you.

Budget (including currency): around 4-5000 € Country: Italy Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Primarily physics simulation (and possibly games of the like of Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Elder ring etc). Most of the simulations runs on 2-4 threads. At some point I will venture in the realm of GPU-based simulations Other details: Peripherals are also needed (monitor, keyboard and mouse). Not really an expert monitor wise, and I accept to compromise on it for now with the possibility of upgrading in the future. Also, about 50% of the usage will be done remotely. For the operating system, I would stay on Windows, using something like WSL to connect in ssh and actually run the simulation program. Ideally memory start from 32GB. Any advice on the actual components? I'm really a noob when it comes to hardware. Thank you for any input!!

So i’m looking to upgrade a prebuilt i have by purchasing a new motherboard. As my current motherboard is some oem hp board I needed to purchase a “normal” power supply. So I’ve purchased an evga 500 bq power supply . I’m wondering if 500 watts is enough to run a 2060 super and i7 9700f- preferably at near to max clock speeds. Some websites say 500w is enough however other websites recommend atleast 600w. Should i return my 500w psu and get a 600w psu instead? Im not looking to upgrade my pc after this so i don’t need to think about “future proofing” i just want to make sure that 500 watts is enough to not have any bottlenecks power wise. Any advise is appreciated

Hello! Im currently planning on building a decent budget gaming pc. I have a gtx 760 to use and I was thinking about the other parts what should I use etc? I know that the i5 4690k is a good combo with it but im also wondering in case that I get that cpu, what motherboard should I use etc. I want to have atleast 16gb ram (preferably ddr4). About 4 usb ports preferably 3.0, ethernet, hdmi, aswell as ports for headset and everything else that I might need for a gaming setup. Im not sure if anything of this will work out in the way I think of but thats why im here for. Thanks in advanced! //noviic_

I started my first pc build yesterday but when I turn on the psu the only thing that turns on is the rgb on the mobo. Monitor has not posted, fans haven’t turned on (not even rgb) and i’m 99% sure everything is plugged in the correct spot. Parts: Mobo: asus b550f gaming CPU: amd 5600x RAM: corsair vengeance (2x8) GPU: msi geforce 2060 gaming z Case: phanteks eclipse 360a PSU: be quiet! straight power 11 750w Monitor: asus gaming VG24VQ 144hz Pls help I have no idea what to do

Hi! I am from India and building a pc for rendering and will use lumion. Here, the price of rtx 2060 and Rx 6600xt is almost the same and I am having a hard time which one to get. I won't be gaming at all and it will be mostly used for rendering in lumion. I would be really thankful if someone can suggest me which one to get.

I'm planning to build my very first desktop PC after using laptops for a very long time (bad timing, I know) and I'm worried that using a desktop might trigger my dust-sensitive asthma. It is under control at the moment, but I'm wondering if hot air coming off of the case caused any issues to anyone else with asthma. Having an ITX case at the top of my desk would be what I would go for, but it might need to be tucked away under my desk for this reason, especially, that most (but not all) ITX cases use a configuration that blows air from bottom to top. Worst case scenario, I can't let the PC run for more than 1-2 hours as rising warm air would blow dust in my face triggering my symptoms. I'm not looking for medical advice and I'm going to consult my physician too, but I would rather avoid paying for anything I cannot use (let alone enjoy), so I'm really interested in any personal experience in this topic!

After 4ish years iv decided to upgrade from my old PC, but im reusing my GPU, RAM, and old m.2 3rd.gen nvme bootdrive. This is my New build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pQ27Dc I wanted to have some some very quick storage for various games, etc. Then some decent storage in Raid 1 for pictures, documents, etc. I didnt necessarily need 2 m.2 1TB but.. why the hell not. Not really sure which one to use as a bootdrive. Thinking in the sense thatd ill be able to have more games on a faster drive. Overall im really just trying to get some feedback on what iv put together so far and some pointers. Thanks guys
