Hello LMG forum. I am new to pc building and I want to start saving for a pc. My budget is 600 pounds. Here is some parts I threw together....

I am looking to run minecraft, cs:go, and fortnite would be nice. I am also not going for looks, i dont really care about that stuff. and i also have a 60hz monitor. thank you in advanced!

Budget (including currency): 550$ Country: swe Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: vr games using virtual desktop (oculus quest 2) I also want to play minecraft and some steam games mostly raft and stormworks Other details Want to know if im over paying for this. Im trying to build a pc that can handle vr in specific oculus quest 2 with link or virtual desktop. Cpu: Intel core i5 9400f (188$) Cpu cooler: the one that comes whit the Cpu Motherboard: msi b365 pro-vdh (105$) Ram: corsair vangeance lpx 16gb 2x 8 gb (66$) Memory: western digital blue sn550 500 gb ssd (66$) Gpu: idk there to expesive but i need one Case: lian li lancool 205m black Micro atx (66$) Psu: montech beta 550w (55$) Thats around 546$ but i still need a gpu that can run vr. And my budget is at most most 600$ i dont really want to pay more that 550$ but a gpu in that price tag is not possible? Just some tips of what to change or to get would be awsome. I also have a msi optix g241 as my main screen.

Currently have an ancient GeForce 7300 gt with 512mb of memory. I recently got it from my uncle after we were cleaning out his closet. It has all the drivers, cables, and package still included. Only one problem... no motherboard. There are so many old motherboards out there that I could choose, but I haven't a clue about which one is good and which one is E-waste. I need some help! The kind I'm looking for needs PCIe ports (obviously), 4 DIMM slots, and I would prefer an AMD chipset. This is gonna be for a 2005-2008 build, so if the board could be in that timeframe, that would be amazing. Please leave suggestions! I'm desperate!!! Budget (including currency): $200 Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: OS testing and light 2008 gaming Other details : Already have a graphics card and a little bit of ram (ddr2)

Budget (including currency):1417 USD Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video Editing/Photoshop and heavily modded games like KSP Component Name Price in USD CPU AMD Ryzen 5600X 309 USD Cooler Noctua NH-U12S (black) 70 USD Motherboard MSI B550M PRO-VDH Wifi 95 USD RAM Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB 3600Mhz 172 USD SSD ADATA XPG SX8200 512GB 65 USD HDD 2xToshiba HDD Pre-Purchased GPU MSI RTX 3060Ti Ventus 2x OC 553 USD Case Antec VSK10 30 USD PSU XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold 77 USD Fans Corsair AF120 Triple Kit 40 USD Total Price(Including Fees) 1416 USD

Budget (including currency): £800 (British Pounds) or €900 (Euro) or $1000 (US Dollars) Country: Netherlands/ United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming (Tomb Raider, Sims, Indie Games, Minecraft, etc. on high but not highest settings), streaming and casual video editing. 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 have moved from the UK to the Netherlands and sadly wasn’t able to bring my PC with me so I would like to build a new one. My previous build dates back to 2014 and the motherboard is holding me back from upgrading, as well as my Power Supply making noises sometimes which is not a good sign. Because of the current GPU situation I was thinking of plugging in my old Nvidea card from my previous build, until prices become reasonable. Is that a good idea? Would I have compatibility issues? Also because of the GPU situation I am not sure what GPU I should get, I have budgeted in £300 ideally, if you could recommend a good GPU for the system I propose that would be great, otherwise I keep dreaming about the god tier GPUs which wouldn’t make sense for this build. I would like my PC to be quite, but I don’t feel confident building a water cooled rig so I am sticking with fans, but if you have any tips or things I should look out for to ensure a quite PC, please let me know. My old PC specs CPU - AMD FX-8335 4.00 GHz 8-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB CPU cooler - basic fan cooler GPU - Nvidea GeForce GTX 960 4GB 16X PCle 3.0 Motherboard - Gigabite GA-970A-DS3P AMD 970 Chipset, ATX w/ 4 RAM Slots RAM - 16GB (4x 4GB) DDR3 1866 MHz Power Supply - 600W Cooler Master B2 Gaming Power 80+ Storage - 500GB SATA SSD What I am thinking of buying: CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Ryzen 7 3700X (they are priced basically the same) CPU cooler - be quiet! Dark Rock 4 (not sure if it is too deep for the case though) GPU - use from old rig temporarily, but please leave suggestions! Motherboard - ASUS Prime B450-Plus ATX AM4 RAM - 2x 8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR 4 - 3200 Power Supply - Corsair TXM Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Storage - SATA SSD (from previous PC) Case - BitFenix Nova Mesh SE ATX Mid Tower —> this would sum up to about £500 leaving £300 for a good GPU. For peripherals, I’ll be operating on Windows 10 and I already have keyboard and mouse and have a Full HD VA panel 144GHz budget monitor, nothing fancy. As mentioned earlier, I am open to any suggesting especially regarding GPUs and how to keep the PC quiet. Thank you for your help and have a nice day :)

I'm having difficulty choosing a motherboard for an build I'm planning. Haven't made any final choices but I'll copy paste my pcpartpicker list at the bottom. I'm basically waiting for new Ryzen to come out and see how it will affect prices of other cpu's before I make a final decision. I'm trying to find a vain balance between performance, efficiency and aesthetics. In the past I mostly used my PC for gaming, however lately video and audio editing has become much more common, and hoping it to be the primary use. And yes I know a 3090 is overkill, but it's down there as a pipe dream. I really like the look of the ASrock Taichi B550, and I'm mainly worrying about how much I lose out by not going with the X570. If I do end up sticking with intel, I'll most likely be on the Z490. I'm sure there are better motherboards out there, but I just need to know how much I'm injuring the potential of a build by going with a certain choice. So can anyone advise on where to go with this?

So my build is almost done just waiting on which psu I should get. My PC specs are 3070 ti FTW3 EVGA + 6 rgb fans that came with the case + 16gb ram 3600 + 5600x and using its stock cooler.

Wanted to start doing some streaming and some very light editing, this will be my first gaming rig and I have a budget of about $850(cad), I will be playing csgo,little bit if fortnite, Rainbow Six Seige, Skyrim (2011 heavily moded), and I’m edit with DaVinci Resolve and steaming with obs, I would like to be able to stream all these games at 720p 60 or 1080p 30, im not really picky about game settings as long as I can play at a stable 60fps,for parts I was thinking a gtx 1050ti and a i3 8100,8gb of ddr4 3200 in dual channel, I would appreciate some help,I’m open to switching to amd if I need too, I’m starting off with one moniter and would like to eventually get two and I would like my case to be easily cable managed.

So I am finally upgrading!! I already got some parts but i need help with the most important thing: The motherboard! Parts i already have: ATXform case CPUCooler: Coolermaster ML240L RGB M.2 kingston 500GB (OS) 120 Gig SSD 1TB HDD (WD blue) GPU: Gigabyte 1050TI Power: Shark WPM Gold ZERO 650W Monitor: Optix MAG241C 144hz curved Things I am almost certain of getting: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 HyperX 16GB DDR4-3200 Kit (2x8) But now for a good motherboard to all put this together on? (PS i now have a AM3 setup with asus motherboard but asus aura sux ballz!! so might be going with other brand right now) And any other tips for this build? Budget for the board would be 75-150 € (80$ - 162$) (all depends on the difference between a low and mid tear) My main passtime on the computer is CSGO (i know... why upgrade to play CSGO right? ) But i recently started playing star citizen and would love all of the battlefields to finally run without stutter also I hope I compiled this post as it should be and hoping for some enlighted answers greetz from Belgium! BTW love the channel!!
