Budget (including currency): ~2k Depends on starting fresh or upgrading current setup Country: United States, Arizona if anyone knows places for deals Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Suite: Lightroom, illustrator, premier pro. 3d Modeling programs: blender, meshmixer, fusion360 Games: BF 2042, AC titles, No Mans Sky, ARK Other details looking to buy now and over the next few months with all of the sales. Hi All, So I’m at a bit of a crossroads with my PC and not sure if its worth upgrading a few major components or just go for a fresh start and go all new outside of storage and RAM. My current setup is listed below and while it works well I find myself running into bottlenecks or seeing performance issues with some new programs I’m running. Im not playing games as much on my PC ever since I got myself a present with a PS5 and LG C1 last year but I still play BF2042, some newer AC games, No Mans Sky and want to get into ARK with some buddies. Overall performance was great until I got my 4k monitor and playing some of these on my ultrawide give me motion sickness ☹. Where I have been starting to see issues is with some of the 3d modeling and photo/video editing programs I have been starting to use. Im not doing anything crazy in terms of 3d modeling but I have been trying to create my own 3d printing models or remix ones I find(when allowed by creator) and when I have been trying to use Blender, Fusion 360, Meshmixer or even tinker cad. These programs will be clunky, slow to respond or even just crash. I am also seeing issues when im trying to run some adobe products like lightroom, illustrator and premier pro where im seeing slowness, stuttering and just extremely long wait times. I wasn’t sure if this was just how these tools work with the file sizes I was using since im pretty new to premier pro but I tried it in a base spec 2018 macbook pro and wasn’t having the same issues. I know it’s not and apples to apples comparison but something I wanted to test. I have gone through and checked my hardware and ran tests to see if there was a problem child and nothing came back as a cause of concern. I think it’s just a case of hardware isn’t optimized for what im now doing compared to when I built it a couple of years ago. It’s still a great PC and does most everything I need but with my 3d printing/designing business gaining steam I think its times to upgrade. It will be used probably 90% of the time for my business so I am able to deduct some costs from come tax time according to my tax guy which makes spending a little more easier. I figure I can also part things out for a few hundred dollars to help offset costs. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Im thinking that a 4070 would be a good GPU for what im trying to do and for future proofing(for at least a bit) but have no preference between team Red or Blue. Its just been so long since i've done a deep dive into a build and wouldn't know what CPU/GPU pair would be best. I also dont have any aversion to buying some parts used or refurbished. I know thats sacrilege to some people but I have had great success doing this in the past.

I have these as my options: ASRock Z790 PRO RS WIFI ASRock Z790 Sonic Gigabyte Z790 Gaming X AX Asus Z790 Prime-P WIFI And the rest of my build will be: CPU: Intel i5 13600K - already have GPU: MSI RTX4080 Gaming X Trio - already have NVME drive: Samsung 980Pro 2TB - already have RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 32GB 6400MHz CL32 CPU cooler: Deepcool LT720 Case: Montech Sky Two PSU: Some ATX3.0 850W?? Would appreciate some advice here because I already have some parts sitting on my desk and would like to finish with this build and never look back

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): I am currently saving to meet this budget requirement in order to create an Intel/Nvidia beast of a rig. The specs are: Unlocked Core i7, GeForce RTX 3080, 32 GB DDR4-3600, and the CPU will be using an AIO. I also plan to start out with a single 1TB M.2 SSD and add a second down the road.

Budget (including currency): Approximately 6.5 thousand Turkish Liras - 900$ (Gpu not included) Country: Turkey Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: DAW(Digital Audio Workspaces such as 'Pro Tools, Ableton, Cubase), Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Photoshop), Gaming (AOE2:DE CS:GO, COD:Warzone, Escape From Tarkov (may vary) 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): Hello, after ten years of dorm life finally I decided to build my pc and leave my laptop(using Macbook Pro 15' mid 2015, can't play games) behind. I work as a Sound Engineer so mostly i'll be using DAWs and planning to play games on my new PC. Most of the parts are certain but still having some problems about it. Since I live in Turkey, currency rate is very high and part prices are a bit more expensive than USA. So current state of the build is around 850$ as the specs given below. Planning a mid-range build which is up to age(semi future proof). I am planning to use my old SSD and Monitor which means my only need is in-case parts(my plan is to wait for GPU and buy a 3060TI). I am super confused about CPU cooler since most AIO's are above my budget, my case supports 240mm AIO, I need help about CPU cooling and recommendations about build since I'll start buying parts from now on(starting from today, looking for good deals in the moment). -Ryzen 5 5600x will be Tray so no stock cooler is included. -Zalman S4 Plus is way cheaper than NZXTs in my country and It's not bulky for me(It's a bit tight case in terms of GPU choice and CPU cooling. *315mm GPU Space - 160mm CPU cooler height -PSU is actually 650w but in pcpartpicker i could only find 550w version of it. -I have no interests about parts being RGB(it can be but personally i don't like RGB) Waiting for your help and recommendations about this build, especially in CPU cooling(can be budget AIO or effective fan cooler, part prices can be different so i'll reply and inform you about it if you have recommendations. Thanks.

Hi friends, I want to build ah PC for video editing, 3D modelling purposes. Gaming is not compulsary. I don't want any RGB lighting or any external good appearances. Only performance matters to me. My choice is AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 4.3GHz 20MB Cache AM4 Socket (YD270XBGAFBOX)(https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_1N1KFB7XM5VHBH6EGQ57?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) 300$ Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1x16GB) DDR4 3200MHZ UDIMM C16 Desktop RAM Memory Module (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07W8ZDDKT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_MJEQRCKCNBCT81D5X9FT?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1) 100$ Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Internal Hard Drive HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 256 MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC (ST2000DM005) (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B07GWRP5LN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_RDY3ZFZJ9ZCEG6N9YPFH?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). 70$ Choosing Graphics Card is a headache for me. I don't know which to choose. . From few browsing I think NVIDIA Quadro P1000 4GB GDDR5 128bit PCI Express 3.0 x16 Graphics Card (VCQP1000-PB) might be suitable But cost is high. Can anyone help with choosing Graphics Card and Motherboard and SSD(256GB)(under 100$) properly? Note: I planned use an old LED TV for monitor and buy cheap mouse and keyboard (wireless)(30$). And Cheap Cabinet too (70$). Processor- 300$ Ram-100$ Mouse, Keyboard,Monitor-100$ HDD-70$ SSD-100$ Total-670$ A good Graphics Card and a motherboard for 370$.Is it possible? Possible reductions SSD to128GB. Ram single Stick (16gb) for future upgrade. When needed add another 16gb. Please help with this.I need your suggestions for all my choices and to make a choice?

Can someone please check my pcpartpicker build to see if everything is compatible and there's no bottlenecks or anything wrong with it. I just want to make sure I didn't mess anything up before I buy the parts. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/83qDNP In case you're wondering why there isn't a discrete GPU it's because I was told that since I won't be doing any gaming/crypto/heavy video editing I won't really need one and I could just use igpu. Also I don't know if it matters but I plan on trying out different things like game development, linux, cybersecurity, virtual machines, programming, IT stuff, etc with this pc. I won't really be doing any gaming and the games that I'd like to make are 2D ones.

Firstly, these are the components I have bought and installed: - msi A320M-A PRO MAX motherboard - AMD Ryzen 5 3500 6 core 3.5 GHz - Galax Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti - ZEBRONICS ZEB-PWP600W power supply - XPG 8GB DIMM DDR4 RAM I assembled it in a chiptronix case and connected all the power inlets correctly. I haven't installed the storage yet. The problem is that nothing happens when I plug it and turn it on. To test the power supply, I installed it on another pc and it worked completely fine, but as soon as I plug the 24-pin power inlet to the motherboard, it doesn't turn on. This is when the motherboard is fresh out of the box, no tempering. Also, if I ground the 24 pin connector, the power supply works completely fine. It's only when I connect it to the motherboard the problem starts. Irrespective of whether any other component is connected or not, nothing happens. It's my first pc build, and I don't have more budget for a other build, I have to make this work. Please help if you can.

Budget (including currency): 1000 Euro Country: Austria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: COD Warzone, R6 Siege, GTA 5 Other details: It's a new Build for my cousin because his current setup is some 10 year old laptop and a 1080p 60Hz monitor but he plans to buy a 1080p >100Hz sometime next year, I think. He doesn't need any peripherals as he already owns pretty much everything. Nvidia is a preference of mine because I've been using it for all my PCs but I'm also willing to go AMD.

I was wondering if this is a good PC. This will be my first ever build, please let me know! (Only part I don't want to change is the case) PC Part Picker List

Budget: 7000 Israeli shekels (2152 USD) Country: Israel Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Microsoft flight simulator, Minecraft, Forza horizon 4, call of duty warzone. part list:https://pcpartpicker.com/user/killer_ninjas/saved/#view=WyRMVn my pc right now: i7 3770, GTX Gainward 650, 8 GB of 1600 speed memory, DRAM-less Sata SSD, Random Hard Drive IDK planning to play at: 1080p or 1440p at 144hz planning to buy: as soon as possible

Ok so i've never built a pc before but i'm sure ill manage and stumble across the finish. I've only bought pre-builts in the past and i'm finally brave enouh to try on my own. I'm just wondering if the parts i've picked out are well balanced with maybe the oportunity to upgrade in the future if required. The parts are as follows: Psu: Corsair RM750 750W (2019) Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Motherboard: B550-F Gaming (Wi-Fi) Fans: 2x Silent Wings 3 120mm PWM (What is pwm?) Case: Phanteks Eclipse P300A tempered glass black (One 120mm fan included) Storage: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Gpu: Rtx 2070 (ill take it out of my old computer and use it in my new build to save some cash money) Ram: 8x2 GB 2666Mhz Hyperx Fury CL16. My pre-built pc that i'm using at this moment is very cramped inside and it's hard to remove things from it, I even think getting the gpu out is gonna be it's own little struggle. Are there any extra cables that are needed for the gpu that don't come with the new powersupply that i am thinking of buying? (Corsair RM750 750W (2019)) I will also take the ram from the pre-built. And just to make sure, there aren't any parts that i'm missing right?

I am looking to make a Budget gaming pc. I am looking to play games at 75 fps on medium to high setting on a 1080p 75hz monitor.
