Hi I want to upgrade my pc, in term of speed and that's it really. I also bought some part already and I was wondering if this suffice or maybe I need more. (P.s I bought this part couple of months back because I thought these part is good enough and also my budget was very tight back then). -H61+/B75 motherboard -Intel i3 2100 3.1 GHz -(2×8) GB RAM DDR3 1333 MHZ -SSD M2 NVME 128 GB And (I think) this is my current setup -Intel i5 650 socket 1156 -Motherboard Chipset Intel h55 -8GB (4×2) RAM DDR3 -500GB HDD -GTX 950 -Casing Varro/power up standard My current budget right now is around 60 dollar (I live in the third world country so most computer part is probably affordable I think....) so I was hoping I can get a good recommendations and hopefully I can run some cpu dependant game or just be able to play Witcher 3 smoothly lol. Thank you very much to anyone reading this. -
My pc https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZcxhYN I have been having games lag and pc turn off. It's the 750x PSU. I am going to upgrade but want to know, should I buy the 850 or 1000. I am planning to buy the rm1000x shift. It has ATX 3.0 and it's good. Great result and review. Should I buy the 850 or 1000. There's an offer on right now 20%off. Thanks.

Hello y'all, I need to hear other peoples opinion. I mostly play video games and have an interest in learning UE5 and modding maps (on Ark Ascended). Im currently running a Ryzen 3600 and will be upgrading on Black Friday. A 5900x is 10 bucks cheaper than 5800x3D. I know about 3D v cache is good for gaming and all but having more cores is also nice as well. Can y'all give me y'alls opinion on which CPU you would choose and why? Thank you!

Hi all I hope you had a nice day today, I wanted to ask your opinion on an upgrade that I was considering recently. As for a little background, I had this build (link) for over a year and it's been a pretty decent experience with it. As you might recall, however, by the time I built this PC, the GPU prices were EXTREMELY high and therefore I went with a 3060, which costed me about 380-400€. But, since the new RTX40 series made their place in the market, I am wondering how effective it'd be for me to upgrade my RTX3060 which honestly is not used that much anyway... I'm definitely going to sell my GPU if I decide to upgrade, which I'm thinking I can sell it for about 250-300€ range, so that gives me an additional boost to afford maybe something like the RTX4060? And lastly, I'd be doing this change most likely after Christmas, but before that I wanted to hear your ideas about the upgrade, as this is my first ever build. Thank you very much!

Hi So I have an old laptop that I still like to use, Its a Clevo W230SD (i7 4gen haswell,960m 2gb) and the max cpu that was sold was the i7 4910MQ 47W and I want to upgrade it to i7 4940MX 57W Do you think that the laptop heatsink will cool that ? (If not I want to try DYI moddified the heatsink so i dont think it will be problem in the future but I am still asking) ps: Any idea on DYI heatsing upgrads ? Thanks for helping and sorry for my ENG -HeWeRcz -
I want to upgrade my Cpu in my laptop and i was wondering if the i7-4910MQ is possible to install into the laptop. many sites have said no and yes so, I am confused on whether or not it would work before I buy one. my second option is the i7-4712MQ if it would work also. i currently have a i5-4310M Cpu and my bios is A24. my ac adapter is 65 watts, and my ram is 16Gb DDR3 1600Mhz. i am mostly wondering what the best Cpu i could install in my laptop. it also runs windows 10 pro if that matters.

Budget (including currency): Under 30,000k sek (Swedish Krona) Country: Sweden Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Apex Legends, CoD Warzon 2.0, Streaming, video edeting 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 looking at getting a pc that can stream and game at high quality for under 30,000 sek. It could be nice to fit a second monitor into this buget and for video editing it would also be nice to have a fast SSD both main and secondary. I am upgrading from a Pre-build lenovo with a I5 9400f and a 1660ti. I am planing to buy this winthin a month, so some fast advice would be nice to get Here is the current parts list I have for this build. Would be nice for some opinions to change, https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/QpbZL9 -
Budget (including currency): No budget future plan so cheaper will make me get it faster.. Country: Norway Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Plex, game servers (Minecraft, atlas, eco, rust, space engineers, unturned....), nextcloud, unify controller, uptime site, maybe steam cache. 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): the main reasons for upgrading are that I need more space and the server is pretty loud so trying to find something that's more quiet. also my current system cant transcode anything (unless it's 1080 to 1080 for max 2 streams) due to no GPU. My current setup: ProLiant DL360 G7 Os: xcp-ng (vm then truenas) (info: didn't know what I would end up using so that's why I have 2 os while I only need 1) Ram: 64GB (4x16GB) 2RX4 PC3-10600R CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon X5650 Storage: 1,6TB (600gb*4 in raid 5) Maybe a new setup: I watched the "I built this computer for Mark Rober", and started with this: Motherboard: ROMED8-2T (https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=ROMED8-2T#Specifications) CPU: AMD EPYC 7302P (or something like) Case, ram, CPU fan, and storage: (https://www.komplett.no/wishlist/shared/423bc95e-3188-498c-9287-aebcd8689037) I already have one of these, but I can't find any information if the motherboard supports PCI bifurcation, if not is there one alike I could use?: https://www.asus.com/no/motherboards-components/motherboards/accessories/hyper-m-2-x16-card-v2/ I also need a Psu and maybe a GPU for transcoding, but how much do I need? I want this setup to be future-proof... so Imma start with 3 disks and add more as needed

I want to get a 5 5600 to replace my 3 3300x . But i will need to update my bios from P3.90 to P5.30 for the 5600 to work with my motherboard. Do I need to go from 3.90 to 4.20, to 4.30, and so on until I reach 5.30? I know this is a dumb question but I am asking this because some BIOS updates in the description say "*Caution!!! Please do NOT update this BIOS if 3300X CPU is being used on your system. *ASRock do NOT recommend updating this BIOS if you are going to use Pinnacle, Raven or Summit Ridge CPU on your system. *Before updating this BIOS, please also read the description in previous BIOS version." It says this in the 4.90 and 5.00 description. Also a few add on questions, what is the "CPU Rev." column that the 5600 has nothing in?, and if i'm updating my bios should I just update it to the newest version, or is that not recommended? I wrote this badly but the main thing I was trying to ask is, will it be fine updating my bios from 3.90 directly to 5.30 with the 3 3300x in it before I replace it with my 5 5600 that I will get? also i know this isn't the right topic forum thingy, but might as well kill two two birds with one stone. i'm planning to upgrade my gpu to the RX 6700 xt as well. with the R5 5600 bottleneck it or vice versa?

Budget (including currency): $2000 USD (22 000SEK). Country: Sweden. Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Only gaming, possibly some photo editing in the future but no deal breaker at all. Other details Upgrading from my 7 year old pc, currently have a 1060 6GB, i5-7500 3.40GHz, 16GB 2133MHz of ram. Struggling a lot with the newer games, especially on the CPU end of things, it always seems to max out on pretty much whatever I play. Ram has also been a slight issue lately, playing lots of Arma 3 hosting servers which eats it all up (constantly sitting at 16/16GB ram). I am in no need for any peripherals or storage, upgraded my pc a few years back with a 2TB SSD which I plan on switching over to my new pc. I'm always using two monitors, my main one being 144hz 2560x1440, and my other one being 60hz 1920x1080. I'm pretty lost already when it comes to picking out what I want, so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've always preferred Nvidia GPU's, but when it comes to the CPU I don't really have a preference. I'm extremely thankful if anyone has any suggestions! -
Hello, Recently I bought HP Prodesk 400 G1 SFF, I'm trying to figure out motherboards power consumption cuz I wanna do few upgrades. Idk if I don't know how to use google or what, but I can't seem to find any info on the motherboard (model no.: 718414-001). Currently it has 2x4GB ddr3, i3-4160, 120gb SSD and 80+ bronze 240 W active PFC PSU, basically everything is stock. I'm planning to add 3x 1tb wd blacks because I have them just laying around, nvidia quadro p400 2gb gddr5. I ordered pcie controller for two more SATA ports. So motherboards power consumption is my main concern, because I calculated power consumption of this system excluding motherboard, stock PSU should be enough, but it may depend of MB consumption, how much it may differ from regular low power 24pin motherboard. Oh and btw, I'm going to use this pc for plex (doing up to 1x 4k stream and up to 2x 1080p transcoded streams simultaneously) and running one vallheim or mc server at a time. Thank you for all your answers! -
Budget (including currency): Around $1200 USD Country: USA Verdict: So currently I'm just Editing on Davinci Resolve which for the build I have now, it gets slow at times, and I thought my memory was fine but I think I might need more or get a better version with 64 GBs instead to make it less of a hassle. But editing aside, the following is slightly a bigger priority of mine, I also Stream often and I done a couple test runs and whenever I play long hours I tend to get dropped frames on Stream especially on games with HD graphics like It Takes Two, so, again maybe better/more ram is needed. Gaming without Streaming anything is fantastic so no problem there. Other details: I plan on streaming on 1080p 60 for the most part, as far as editing, Its nothing insane like, I'm not editing 4K footage at all. Its 1080p gameplay and I'm cutting them up, maybe a few transitions with subtitles but that's it. I leave the pro FX to the experts if I want anything extra I would just not like to have to worry about any lag or setbacks when doing my tasks and streaming, I just want it out the way. I don't think I need to upgrade my motherboard but if that's what helps than so be it. I really think its either GPU or the Memory, or Both that need upgrades to help my case but, you guys know more than me. All help is appreciated, thanks!

So i am building a pc just meant for video streaming and editing, no gaming. So I just wanted a cheap GPU with decent video encoding. I wanted to know if the 1630 had the same video encoder as other Nvidia GPUs. Or if the a380 is stable enough to take advantage of the better AV1 encoder? both are about the same at my micro center so which one is the better buy?

Hi. I've been considering purchasing a Ryzen 5600X to upgrade my old 1700 and keeping my motherboard, an ASRock x370 Fatal1ty Professional Gaming (basically a Taichi, so in fact there is the unofficial firmware to support the Vermeer CPUs). Check I was just wondering if I will require an intermediate CPU, such as a 3600 to properly flash it through the bridge versions. I've only upgraded the BIOS firmware to v. 5.30 or 5.80. Newer versions have this warning: Such warning makes me wonder if upgrading it will kill the support with the Ryzen 1700 or if it will be possible to follow with the updgrades until the v.7's that support Vermeer CPUs. In case anyone could shed some light, that will be greatly appreciated! -
Hey, I was wondering if it is worth doing a windows 11 install rather than windows 10 install when it comes to gaming performance (games such as elden ring or other relatively new titles). (PC Specs are highlighted in my profile) -
I'm planning on selling my desktop that I bought as a prebuild but have made some changes too. Here are the specs: Intel I5 8400 with intel stock cooler MSI GTX 1060 3gb 8 GB of DDR4 RAM (1 stick) Gigabyte H310M S2H motherboard Some offbrand 600 watt PSU Deepcool MACUBE 110 case (with one 120 mm case fan) 120 gb ssd 1 tb ssd 1 tb 7200 rpm HDD Windows 10 The pc is in pretty good state I'd say. I have not gamed a lot on it, only the first two years I had it (I bought it in 2018), and I have never used it for mining. The new case is only half a year old and it hasn't any scratches or anything. How much do you guys think I can sell this for right now? -
Hi folks, Looking at upgrading my CPU (Ryzen 7 1700x) and RAM (16G G.Skill SK Hynix) but wanted some clarification before I went ahead with it. Based on my MOBO manufacturers website (MSI x370 SLI PLUS - https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X370-SLI-PLUS/support#support-cpu), there are RAM compatibility requirements based on the CPU not just the MOBO. I'm planning on getting a 3000 series Ryzen and confident that will be compatible MOBO (after a BIOs update) but will I also have to get RAM that is specifically on the manufacturers website? Cheers!

im gonna soon upgrade my pc, i just wanna make sure -
Budget (including currency): unknown but not bank breaking Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Dayz, Csgo, tf2, Halo, minecraft, shadows of war, shadows of mordor, future games like warzone, elder scrolls, racing sims, new games I've wanted to play but never had the chance, maybe recording and editing music Other details (1060 3gb Nvidia Card, i5-7400, 8 gbs ram adding more soon, MSI b250m bazooka, unsure with the power supply): So I have had this prebuilt cyberpower (C series ET8064-2376) pc since 2017 or 2018. I bought it from a gentleman ,who used his console more and rarely every played on the gaming rig, for a trade of 330 cash and an old 720p polaroid hd tv i had at the time. I was around 16 or 17 when I got it. It retailed for about 1000 to 1100 in that range and has done me good for a while. Got me through a lot of CS:GO which has been my main played game ever since starting in 2015. Im having issues where i'm just not having enough power anymore when it comes to new games. Cant play warzone bc its too intense. Modded Dayz is slow for me and drops frames bc it needs a lot of ram. CSGO i only get 150 frames on average. The new halo I don't even meet system requirements, even though I was still able to play it after a couple games it would crash all together. Rust I bought but cant even run and it takes ages to get into a server with all the preloads you do when connecting. My parts are for the most part outdated and I plan to upgrade. I have buddies I can have help me build a new pc or upgrade using my existing case. I'm also 20 now and i'm sure its not rocket science so. Would it be plausible to save money to build a complete new rig and attempt to sell my old one( might be difficult given the parts are pretty dated.)What are the best bang for your buck parts that will get me through the next 3 to 5 years of gaming without too much drag. I would really appreciate the help. If using a monthly payment option on a website is feasible I could also look into that route. Thanks, Zach Bonus: This is my pc case and is very similar overall to what I have in visible parts. I couldnt find a direct buying ling to my current pc due to its 5 to 6 year age

Budget (including currency): $60 USD for Ram I currently have an 8 gig AD4S240038G17-B GENUINE ADATA DESKTOP MEMORY 8GB DDR4 PC4-19200 UDIMM chip in my MSI B250M Bazooka Motherboard. I am needing more ram because I play dayz with mods and 8 just isnt cutting it. My ram is maxing out so im trying to see where to go with having 16 gb or 24 gb. I dont want to just throw the ram stick i have now in the drawer. What are my possibilities with what I have. I also have an i5-7400 and a 1060 3gb nvidia graphics card. Also since doing research I found that in cpu Z. My uncored ram is at 3000 mhz but my dram is at 1199.8 mhz which is 2400mhz almost exactly. Do I have anything to worry about and is mixing and matching fine doing a 16+8 setup in a single to double channel. I watched linus's video from february of this year and got soem answer but im still very confused. https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-3200MHz-Heatsink-SP016GXLZU320BDAJ5/dp/B08QV1V17R/ref=sr_1_14?crid=27GIX6L1HGD60&keywords=ddr4+ram&qid=1638680600&s=electronics&sprefix=ddr4+r%2Celectronics%2C177&sr=1-14 https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-2400MHz-PC4-19200-Unbuffered-Computer/dp/B01LE0CG60/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=ddr4%2Bram&qid=1638672321&refinements=p_n_feature_twenty_browse-bin%3A16158157011&rnid=9729693011&s=pc&sr=1-26&th=1 Are either of these suitable for my needs. I am hoping to run modded dayz with discord and spotify open at the very least. thanks for any help!

Is it worth it to upgrade the CPU?
GamingGamer69420 posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Hey, I wanted to ask if it is worth upgrading my processor, I have an i5-9400f and want to upgrade to an i7-9700k or i7-10700k. I have a B360I motherboard and an RTX 2060, I plan to mainly play CoD:MW and plan on playing the new one that's coming out soon. Is upgrading the CPU worth it or not?
