This is my first build, and I'm looking for a good PSU. My budget us $700 and it's mostly being used for gaming. I need help finding a PSU for $70 or less. Here are 2 of the ones I'm looking at: EVGA Thermaltake Which one should I go with, or are there any others that you recommend?

Hello! You probably clicked on this forum post for a reason. So, If you need any ideas / examples / help with simple python stuff feel free to paste/look up solutions from my github! You cant learn anything from these, you still need a basic knowledge of what you're doing to paste/ understand my code! {This is not any kind of advertisement, i just want to help python beginners (just like me)} You can also find windows bsod code, (which i also commented on in the code) so beware! Please note that im not a python expert either, and i also dont really make comments in my code, becuase this was my first time making these kind of apps/script and It just popped into my head that maybe someone could get help from them.

Budget (including currency): 700-800 GBP (£) Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly just any games that will run at 1080p 60 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 would prefer duel channel 16gb ram, a wifi motherboard, preferably a 400 or 500 set, thanks in advance.

Hi! I'm brand new to the computer building community and after toying around and learning a bit I think I have found a set up that would likely work for me (gaming and whatnot). One issue is when learning I found out that some CPUs worked better for certain motherboards and because I don't know nearly enough on that I was hoping someone could guide me in the right direction. The current list I have right now is - CPU Intel Core i7-11700K GPU Nvidia RTX 3070/3080 SSD Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCle M.2 1TB RAM Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x16GB Also, if anybody has suggestions on how to make this better please let me know.

What’s up guys ? I’m a soon to be owner of a P500A, and I’ve been overthinking the fan/radiator placement. I’m going with a 5900X and a 3080. Currently I’m deliberating over 3 possible options :- 1- A Normal setup -3 default 140 fans as intake, 3 120 exhaust with rad on top, and another 120 rear exhaust, usually with this you’d have higher cpu temps, lower gpu temps, but I’ve read that in large cases like the p500a the cpu temps don’t get affected in a noticeable way. 2- 360 rad in front with push pull, and the rest is exhaust. I’ve found one video that says gpu almost doesn’t get affected(see link below). 3- buy a 280 rad, and have it on the front on push-pull, which leaves on the extra fan in hope of minimizing GPU temp damage, but it's just not aesthetically pleasing. I would appreciate any advise based on real life experience with this case or anything similar. [vid link](https://youtu.be/5s9IusaNrro)

This is my first build so some things may not be that good, if anything should be changes please let me know, like the case, motherboard, etc. My budget is $1,500 maybe $1,700 USD for the pc itself. I'm in the US I'll be using it for mainly Streaming, editing, and obviously gaming. I don't have anything except the GPU I'll be using until I get my hand on a 3070 founders edition. I'll be using the Zotac Mini 1050ti that was in an old pre built of mine. I Just want to be able to stream at 1080p 60fps and have no problems. I don't know if I should go for 32gigs of ram or 16. I need a mouse, keyboard, and 2 monitors (Maybe 3?) I'll be upgrading from my current laptop I'm using right now, I might get a capture card along with the pc so I can stream on the laptop and gam on the pc. I'd like to know if I'm overpaying for the parts I'm going for, I don't really care about looks, I'm going for performance.

This is my first time building a pc and was hoping to receive some feedback. I don't have a psu yet because I haven't found a gpu and I want to get a precise estimated wattage. The gpu I was hoping to get was the rtx 3070, would that go well with this build or do I need a better or worse gpu to ensure no bottlenecking? What brand power supply should I get? If I'm missing anything or doing anything incorrectly please let me know! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MinecraftVeteran/saved/#view=yqwpBm

Hello all. I made a Gaming PC for my uncle and his kids. They are pretty savy but i want to make some kind of doc to asnwer ant questions or leave any notes for them to fall back to if they have any trouble. If you were a first time owner of a gaming pc, what do you wish was in it or what should it have to be helpful?

So, I've been planning this build for a few months now and nearly have enough money saved. I kept switching out components and adding things until I came up with this. The theme typical is red and black. My budget was €1500 but as you can see, that didn't go to plan. This is going to be my first build. It's (obviously) going to be a gaming PC used for 1080p gaming until I can get a 1440p monitor. My goal was to make it fairly future-proof and VR-Ready. Any suggestions on ways I could make it cheaper without compromising too much would be appreciated. Also, just suggestions and thoughts in general too. https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/FkY79W

Hello, I am about to start ordering parts for my first PC but have decided to reconsider my case. I was going to go for the NZXT S340 Red/Black. I am considering the Corsair Spec-Alpha but I'm not sure. As I've said this is my first build. I'd like good airflow and to be relatively easy to build in. My theme is red and black Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2PQ97h Thanks!

Besides from linus and co. is there any youtubers / websites that I could visit to get info on pc building, cable management, water cooling etc. I'm quite young and don't have too much experience with computers. The most I've done is installed some ram . I'm also looking for a "gaming" laptop nder about £400 about $520 USDollar. any sudgestions?

So i have a build that i plan on buying but i still dont know what psu to buy chose i dont want my 1300$ pc just to burn because of a bad psuthis is the build:Intel i7-7700kCooler Master - Seidon 240V Liquid AIOGigabyte GA-Z270X ultra gaming ATXCorsair Vengeance LPX 16(2x8) 2666 mhzKingston - SSDNow G2 120GB M.2-2280 Seagate - Barracuda 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Gigabyte GTX 1060 9GBPS Aorus editionIll probably buy the Thermaltake view 31 TG RGB caseSo i only need the psuI was thinking of maybe buying a Fotron Hyper 700w M or maybe a 600w because ill probably OC or maybe a Super flower golden green 650w 80+ gold but im still new to pcs and still learning so i just need some help with choosing the right PSu

So I currently have an HP Pav 500-270 (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04058834) with a better power supply, 240 gb ssd, and 1060 6gb. I am going to give this to my dad getting him a new ssd and wiping the hdd. This is what i currently have (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zf3CQV). I am worried about a case that can fit two 360 or 480 rads that is white with a tempered glass side and is under 200. also know of any rgb blocks for cpu/gpu.

Hi need suggestions on a build. I have been waiting for the new Navi and zen 2 to come out because I was told to do so and have. Now that they have come out I am lost on what to get? My setup will mostly be used for schooling, machine learning, and gaming/streaming. I can use the whole budget on the tower for I already have two monitors (144hz and 60hz) and mouse and keyboard (Corsair ironclad and ducky one 2 mini) Any Suggestion are helpful

I've had this laptop for years and have no idea what this is for. Desperate need of a new computer but this 7 year old laptop is all i got right now. Trying to see if i can get more out of it . Also i have 4 usb ports 2 of them are blue . How do i know if they are usb 2.0 or 3.0 and stuff. Thx in advance

Hello! total beginner and novice pc enthusiast here so excuse my ignorance on a couple of topics! so i´ve had this pre-built pc for a while that i bought for my dad and i've been using for some light photo editing for a few years as a hobby, but recently some small photography jobs are starting to appear and i was thinking of also doing some 1080p video editing. (no big projects or youtube content at all, mostly just resolutions that work for social networks) i was wondering if there are any parts on a 7 year old pc that are worth replacing instead of trying to build a "budget" pc, and i'm in venezuela and if you know anything about what's going on down here, my "budget" is incredibly limited already, but my brother live in the US and could send me some parts and i wanna know what could make the most sense! obviously it's no master-race gaming behemoth but i recently beat the witcher 2 (yes, 2) on 800x600 so i don't mind turning most bells and whistles down i understand something like a 1050ti could run straight from the motherboard since it doesn't need an additional power supply (good, since the one included is a generic, chinese one), and i think some of the newers 1650 can also run straight from the mother board? i don't know how a core i7 from 2012 compares to i3 or i5 from newer generations but this thing currently handles anything but games pretty comfortably. how much would you say makes sense to spend for a novice photographer like me? i do all of my gaming on ps4, but have always liked to try pc games too! anyway, would really appreciate your options about what storage, gpu, or ram would make sense? THANKS

ÄHey, recently I accidentally unplugged my ssd(where windows is located)while the pc was on. I plugged the ssd back in but the pc is now stuck with the error: critical process died. I have tried: Starting the pc in safe mode Restarting the pc Using sfc /scannow, to which it fails Resetting the PC, to which it fails Start up repair. I am fairly new to pc so it would be helpful if you guys could help me out! Edit: I have solved the issue. I reinstalled windows and it is all working fine. Thanks for the comments and now I know NOT to unplug components while the pc is on!

I dont remember installing any audio drivers, but I think that there all up to date. I would really apprichiate it if you guys could help me. Keep in mind im really new to pc's so I wont know any fancy words ;). Thanks

So I need some help on part picking . . . My current build contains: an i5 2600 scavenged off of my dad's workstation an unnamed Intel motherboard I found in an old gaming pc containing an i3 2100, I then replaced the i3 with the i5. 8gb of Corsair ddr3 ram 1600ghz 2x4 (also found in old gaming pc). 750w corsair atx power supply non-modular. Stock Intel Cooler. I then received an MSI GTX 1080 11gb GAMING X for Christmas I then bought a SilverStone Primera rgb matte black. A 2tb Seagate firecuda hard drive. A 128gb Silicon Power SSD I have the plan of having an i7 8700k but I do not know what cooler I should use. I am looking for an Aio....preferably Rgb with overclockability. I am also planning to use the MSI Z370 Carbon Pro. Lastly for ram i would to get the trident Z RGB if my budget allows. All very expensive but I have a job(I am less than 16) and currently (due to good grades) I have 300 dollars to spend. What should I buy first? I am new to this Forum even though I am a long time Linus Fan. \ Thanks for your Help!

Hey guys, I am planning on building my first gaming pc, I am going to spend around $1200 on it, I made a build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hbZgbX and am planning on using a wifi card.

Keep in mind that I am very new to this so please use language I could understand My build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3ZGv3b Thanks all!

Hi. I would like to start with animation 2D animations, and I am asking myself what do I really need to start with this? I would like to draw on my computer and animate on it. PUT I read a topic on the internet and it said that you would need a tablet for 2D animations... Would my Asus Zenpad 10 (Z301MF) be good for that?
