Budget (including currency): 1000€ - 3000€ Country: Czech Republic Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: MTGA, SC2, LoL, TFT, Dota2, Youtube/general browsing, machine learning/programming/PyCharm, the occasional AAA game (I'd like to try Baldurs Gate 3) Other details Got a lot of good advice on previous post: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1530261-update-or-replace-gaming-pc/ Wanted to get some advice & recommendations on a concrete build. My main issue is that I am undecided on the GPU, with two conflicting positions. On one hand, I would like to relatively future-proof myself from getting a new build anytime soon. My current build is ~12yrs old and still works fine. On the other hand, I don't game as much as I used to, and don't really go for many AAA games. The games used to benchmark most of the GPUs that I've watched on LTT or yt, were completely unfamiliar to me.

Budget (including currency): don’t want to go above €1,200 Country: Ireland Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gta 5, the whole Adobe suite, mainly premiere pro, after effects and photoshop Other details I’ve put in screenshots of the build I’m thinking of going with rn. I’m fully aware the cpu cooler is gimmicky and I could probably bring the price down quite a bit without it but I like how it looks. Any advice would be hugely appreciated

Budget (including currency): $900 - current build price: $844 without tax -> $900 with tax Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I was going for a budget build without a focus on a certain aspects (gpu, cpu, etc), but rather wanted an overall well preforming build for general gaming/productivity. Other details: I just want feedback to make sure the list I currently have is fine and won’t be messed up by compatibility (none blaring issues—checked with pc part picker—but anything I’m not noticing perhaps). I would also like feedback if I should improve something like cooling or how to work that in (normal fan cooling, but do I need more or smth). I would also like to know if I should upgrade anything under my budget.

Budget (including currency): $2,000 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Elden Ring, Baldurs Gate 3, Diablo 4, FL Studios Other details: Currently my best friend is running on a 5+ year old machine with a Ryzen 7 2700x 3.7ghz processor, a 1080 ti, and 16gb of RAM. Unfortunately he's running into crashing issues and we can't seem to identify the root. So building a new PC is in the discussion while he finds an alternative for the old machine. That being said, I pulled a list on PC Part Picker of what I would recommend for his budget of $2,000. However I know that sometimes parts work in theory but not in practice, so I wanted to run it by a community to get additional thoughts. I've attached a screenshot of the listed components. Thanks!

Hello, I built my first custom PC back in early 2020 and the thing has been going strong for 3 years, sadly, it's already starting to wear down and some specs are in need of an upgrade. But I need some help. I mainly need help in the case department. Let me first drop the necesary information and I'll explain afterwards. This is my current PC: Mechastructor - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker And this is the upgraded version: Mechastructor - Saved Part Lists - PCPartPicker This PC will be an all-rounder (gaming, coding, very light video editing, drawing, 3D Art), though it's 1st and mostly main purpose is gaming, think AC Valhalla (Once that game is a bit more stable on my side), Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Kingdom Come Deliverance, etc. As for programs, stuff like SFM/Blender, Krita, Microsoft Visual Studio, Clipchamp, the basics. The upgrade budget is a max of €650-700 (€300-350 for the remaining parts I suppose) and I am buying all my from the same retailer because they're amazing and there's barely any hardware store near me so they're my best option. Though I am in the Netherlands, should anyone know of any hardware stores here. Now, I must admit I did a small oopsie when choosing the motherboard, while it does have a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C on the back. It does not have such a supported slot for the front panel. Regardless, it's the only white motherboard anywhere near my budget, I'm going for a slight theme, more on that later. Now, I thought I'd get the NZXT H7 Flow because that one has the 3.2 Gen 1 Connector the motherboard supports (And according to the motherboard, it can handle the 2 USB Ports on one socket) and then I'd let the cable for the Type-C hang loose until a new Motherboard. But I looked in the manual online and saw that the H7 uses something called a "Intel F-Panel standard header". Now obviously this board is not made for Intel, and the NZXT manual does not say which pin exactly is which, so I can't compare it with the manual of the motherboard and see if they would fit anyway. I looked online and some said there is an adapter, but the manual doesn't list any kind of adapter in its contents. So I'm worried this case won't even be compatible with the board. So the main question here is; What purpose does each slot have in the NZXT H7 Flow case on the F-Panel header, and would that work with this ROG Motherboard? Then secondly, I'm just looking for some general feedback on this build. It's basically my second build with how many new parts I am getting, though it's only because my hand is forced. As the system has been failing a bit here and there, and I do not have time to save up more. I like building my new PC's around some themes, this one will be a more "elegant/royal/luxury" theme, hence the focus on the white motherboard and the white case (I even have a build in mind for the future for a Royal Vampire theme. Because I love vampires. Red liquid cooled and all, but that's far ahead in the future). The RAM would eventually be replaced with G.Skill Trident-Z Royal. The reason I went with a Ryzen 5 5600X instead of a 5600 is because the place I am buying it at, didn't have that much of a difference in price. The ROG Strix was, once again, because it was the only white motherboard in my price range AND had the USB Ports I needed (Gen 2 Type-C for example) though I am curious if any of you would have picked a different board, the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB was picked because it's of the same series I use now, and I am very happy with it so I knew it was a safe and reliable investments... Plus it was cheap. Now, the SSD's are only possible because the place I am buying at has a massive sale at the moment, were it not for that, I might have re-used my current drives. My GPU I'll just be reusing because it works perfectly fine for my needs, and replacing that one would be a wallet-killer. The case, again because it's white, and NZXT seems to have great cable management at the back. Now there is a different one in the competition if this one would truly not work, and that's the Fractal Design Pop XL Air White. The reason I didn't pick that one, is because I am worried about cable management and airflow. And I know NZXT is a relatively good brand. And finally the PSU, I am currently using a BeQuiet! System Power 9 500 Watt. It works perfectly, doesn't make too much sound. And the System Power 10 is cheap so fits in my budget. Should I upgrade to a gold standard one? Probably, but that makes me go way over budget, as any good ones are quickly triple the price. I am also running a very old Philips monitor of which I can't find the exact model number online, though it's a grey 190B according to the stamp on the top left of it. And a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro plugged directly into the PC for its power. I am still a bit on the fence about the SSD, because I am worried about its life cycle. My current OS SSD is already at 89% according to CrystalDiskInfo with a total power-on hours of 12668 at the moment of writing, and my SSD Games M.2 at 96% with 10102 hours. Almost daily runtimes, on average probably around 6-8 hours from Monday to Friday and probably around 13-18 hours on weekends. While the HDD's listed as a ST3500630AS in device manager, have been going for over 15-ish years without a single problem. Recently even did a full detailed scan, SMART, Corruption check, etc, and they're in perfect health. Even though those drives probably have been hammered the most with data, gaming, 3D Rendering in SFM, etc. I think that's all. I do apologize for the ridiculously long post. But I did want to give as much information as possible. Should I have missed something, or there's somehow more information needed, let me know. Any help with the Front Panel header and feedback on the build itself will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Budget (including currency): Would prefer to keep it below $2400-2500 USD, but want to be efficient with price to performance Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: High fidelity games, story games (think Plague Tale, Elden Ring, Assassins Creed, Spider-Man, Final Fantasy). Will also be used non-recreationally for some programming/engineering schoolwork, but that is not a major priority. Other details I'm upgrading from a Predator 17' Laptop with a GTX 1070, so this is going to be quite the leap for me and I want to make sure I do it right. I have this LG 27UN850-W monitor (27 inches), which is 3840x2160. While this is currently my only monitor (as previously I have just been using my laptop as a first monitor) I'll likely end up picking up an additional similar monitor in the future. I have a keyboard and mouse already, so this is purely a computer build. [Link to Microcenter Configurator] (plain text list at the bottom of this post) Above is the configuration I have so far but I don't feel especially confident about it as a whole simply due to lack of experience. I decided to go with AMD for the AM5 socket/platform (this is me foolishly trying to futureproof this build) and the 3D VCache (I'm not too concerned about drawbacks in productivity performance). My big points of question are the motherboard, case, and power supply. I know the power supply is over-specced, but I'd like some headroom and room to upgrade (though please let me know if this is overly cautious). In regards to motherboard and case, I went with a combination that seemed reasonable without being too limiting, but I'll admit ignorance in the fine art of case selection and its effects on performance and fan noise.

Budget & Location I’m in the US, with a budget of about 1.5k 2. Aim This system is going to be used for playing games like Monster Hunter World, Ark Survival Evolved, Outer Worlds, etc. as well as live streaming at 1080p, 60 FPS Along with this some light 3D modeling in Inventor, coding and other work purposes. 3. Monitors I currently use and plan on using 2 monitors, they’re HD ASUS monitors, I’ll find exact resolution later and edit post. 4. Peripherals Only need to purchase Windows 10(it’s just in the build to show what OS I’ll be running, Ik to just buy the key onlinefor like 10 bucks), already have mouse and keyboard. 5. Why are you upgrading? Upgrading to a new PC cause my of system is 7+ years old and starting to become outdated. Along with this it’s so old it’s more costly to upgrade it than make a new pc.

Budget (including currency): 90000 RUB (about 1200 USD), future GPU upgrade to RTX 3060 (or similar in RDNA 2) included in the budget. Country: Russia Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Single-threaded applications (yes, Black MIDIs are my thing), 4K video editing in medium complexity, maybe a bit of standard 1440p gaming too. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what I'm upgrading from, when I'm going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate I want to play at, etc): You didn't expected me here? Sure I didn't, but here I am 3 years later with another build suggestion, this time it is birthday special build. Yep, after all of those "considerations" from earlier, I'm now seriously considering to get a new build, after multiple complaints from me that ruined my experience made angry, trying to do something on it. That build consists of i5-3470, 8 GB of single channel DDR3 1600, 960 GiB ADATA SU650 SSD (will be reused for my new PC as well), 1 TiB Western Digital Green HDD, GTX 1050 Ti (also being reused up until more budget Ampere or RDNA 2 wouldn't come out). As I said a bit earlier, I will game at 1440p (when it's time to get a new monitor to use in dual-monitor combination), but not high refresh, since I'm not really into E-Sports gaming. Now before Zen 3 shenanigans would appear, no, I'm not going to get just for higher "single-threaded performance" (although one of the workloads I specified, do heavily relies on it for MIDI stuff), but most importantly, the prices for it I suspect here would be through the roof (basically, even more expensive than 3rd gen at launch). And now, into the parts (for those who can't see the picture, I'll say them here) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 OEM - 17999 RUB (about 234.46 USD) Motherboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus - 13499 RUB (about 175.83 USD) RAM: Neo Forza ENCKE 32 GB (2x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 (16-18-18-36) - 10999 RUB (about 143.27 USD) Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAX 400 V2 - 2150 RUB (about 28 USD) PSU: Cougar GX-F750 [CGR GD-750] - 7399 RUB (about 96.37 USD) New HDD: Western Digital Blue 2 TiB 5400 RPM [WD20EZAZ] - 4499 RUB (about 58.6 USD) Case: AeroCool Sentinel - 4299 RUB (about 56 USD) Total cost - 60844 RUB (about 792.9 USD) I'm open to your suggestions, since I know not everything is perfect, like overkill PSU for my needs (should be at least Rank B with at least 6 ports coming from PSU though), questionable RAM with concerns about overclocking it to 3600 MHz. You can suggest parts through other Russian retail stores (I used DNS for it, make sure to choose Saratov when you're choosing the city, since I'm living in that region), but keep in mind those have to provide some sort of shipping (except maybe for the case, I'll order it from DNS, because 1 RUB shipping)! At best, I'm ready to spend up to 65000 RUB excluding the GPU upgrade. About OEM over BOX variant matter, I'd better invest in a cooler, since the difference is 1600 RUB. Hardware Unboxed's VRM testings proves, that it can indeed perform the same as MAG B550M Mortar, and it costs the same, so I grabbed the Gaming Plus one.

Budget (including currency): 2000€ (55000CZK) Country: Czech Republic Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Adobe Photoshop, CAD, VR modeling and viewing of customized "locations", medium gaming, Escape from Tarkov, PUBG, some Rocket League and stuff, nothing hardcore Other details: I am upgrading from i7-7700 (non K) with 1070, had 1080ti, it died :(, coming from small form factor to save space. Aiming for ultra low noise machine (have small kid and dont have office at home) so aiming for custom cooling. Also I aim for it to look good. Case: Corsair 4000X white MB: torn between ASROCK B550 Steel Legend and ASUS PRIME X570-PRO for WHITE since I want white color theme or just gonna go with ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING (WI-FI) CPU: My waiting for Ryzen 5 was worth it and coming for AMD Ryzen™ 7 5800X RAM: Corsair 32GB KIT DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dominator Platinum RGB White GPU: obv. 3080, most likely MSI GeForce RTX 3080 VENTUS 3X 10G since its gonna be stripped of cooler anyway PSU: Corsair RM850x - white Cooling: Hydro X from corsair, 360 in front -> pump/res -> gpu -> cpu -> back to rad. 3 fans front input through rad, 1 fan output back. Also thinking to add 240mm rad top with 2 between GPU and CPU. The reason I am asking for help here is simple. This is first time I am designing custom watercooling for myself and I am planning to live with this machine at least 4 years. I am not rich af. so its kinda investment. I am easily able to identify "compatibility" of HW but not sure about balance and not overkilling somewhere. Its gonna be first time stripping GPU, but not first time custom-looping. (maybe first time hard tubing, depends on my guts). Please let me know any constructive feedback or criticism that you have reg. the components. I spent quite some time on picking the HW, only thing I am not sure is CL16 3200 or CL18 3600. Thanks guys! Lany

This my newest build and my first upgrade since 2012. The theme is "be black and be quiet" My board of choice was the Gigabyte Z390 DESIGNARE since I am satisfied with Gigabyte boards since 2006. I loved the asthetics of this particular one and the specs fit my needs perfectly. The CPU went to be the Core i9 9900K and as a cooling solution I chose the BeQuiet Silent Loop 360 because I wasn't going to overclock but still wanted cool and silent performance with an 9900K boosting @ 4,7GHz. The BeQuiet Straight Power 11 1000W PSU delivers more than enough power for now and future GPU upgrades and the beautiful BeQuiet Dark Base 900 Pro rev.2 tower offers great modularity and options for cable routing as well as many options for radiator placement with up to two 420 radiators(!). Furthermore it came with a built-in RGB and fanspeed-controller as well as two Silent Wings 3 140mm fans in the front and one more in the back. I made the front fans run in performance-mode and the exhaust one in the back in silence-mode since I placed my 360 radiator under the lid and therefore there are also the AiOs three Silent Wings 3 120mm fans in the top pushing warm air out of the case. The airflow through the mesh on the sides is good enough and temps look good with slightly more than 80 degrees C after 90 minutes of Aida64 stresstest considering that the AiO fans were running rather quietly with 60% speed @ about 1300rpm all the time while the CPU boosted to 4,7 GHz on all cores. Since I use my PC mainly for editing 4K footage from my Mavic 2 Pro, I needed a good amount of fast DDR4 and went with 4x16GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz. Graphics performance is not my top priority. So I saved some money here by buying a Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC 3x 8 GB instead of an RTX 2080 Ti because the Super offers enough performance for my needs and looks simple but classy, which fits my build perfectly! As you can see I chose to mount it in the good old show-off-position with a Cooler Master Vertical Graphics Card Holder Kit. For storage I went with two Samsung 970 Evo M.2 SSDs. One with 500GB for Windows and apps and one with 1TB for my video files since I wanted great access speeds in Adobe Premiere. As a third drive for games chose a Samsung 860 Evo 1TB SATA SSD and finally for private data, pictures, movies and TV shows I installed a Seagate Ironwolf 8TB HDD under the shroud next to the PSU. I really wanted to keep my 5,25" bays for an optical Bluray writer and a monitor for temps and fanspeeds. But looking through the window the side of the 5,25" bay really bothered me. So I researched and found a company that makes custom GPU and HDD covers. I had one of those made to cover up the 5,25" cage. They do a great job. They are called "V1Tech" and and I can really recommend them. Despite the simple plain black style there where the orange accents from the BeQuiet fans. So I decided to add a few more highlights with some sleeved custom cables (also from v1tech.com). And of course I wanted at least some of that RGB goodness. And since iCUE is the most advanced and versatile Software imo I added a Corsair Lighting Node Pro and hooked the custom RGB cover and two RGB strips up to it. And maybe just maybe one day Gigabytes "RGB Fusion" software won't suck as much and I will also be able change the color of my GPUs RGB... So finally the lighting of my peripherals will match the lighting of my case. I wonder how I could live without that for so long I mean look at that keyboard. It' s gorgeous And finally I took my time for an ... acceptable cable management. So here it is in all it's glory: The Schichtmachine 2019 I am looking forward to your questions, feedback, pros, cons and suggestions. Thanks guys and have a good one! Cheers from Switzerland Martin Schicht

In the coming month or two I'll be building a new PC for personal use and some work applications. I have a budget for the GPU and I'm looking for a GTX 700 series card. I've set aside a cap of amount $170 USD with a few cards already in mind. I don't have any experience in comparing benchmarks, so I'm not sure of what card performs the best. But here's what I've got, all off of Newegg, in order of what I think would be best: 0.) EVGA 750Ti 2GB FTW (only included as it was originally $60 dollars cheaper and was in stock when I found it) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487028 1.) GIGABYTE 750Ti 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-125-502 2.) ASUS 750Ti 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121855 (and here's just the other EVGA cards I found that were similar and at my price point) 3.) EVGA 750Ti 2GB SC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-487-024 4.) EVGA 750Ti 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487025 5.) EVGA 750 2GB FTW http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487064 All of this to say, I would like some help finding the BEST overall card for a 1080p Dual Monitor setup, with the possibility of upgrading to a single or double 4k monitor, day to day work, and some occasionally heavy gaming. The cards I found are all run-of-the-mill, mover fan designs, but if anyone knows of some blower type 750Ti-s (maybe a reference card) in my price range it would be awesome to hear about! Also if you know other sites/distributors that have the same products cheaper, or maybe just general feedback about the specific cards listed, I'd appreciate it a lot! Thanks you guys so much! I look forward to hearing what all of you have to say about these cards whether it be personal experiences, opinions, or general thoughts on them; and seeing what you guys come up with, as I haven't had much luck or experience myself! Edit: at most I can stretch my budget to $210 USD and I would look into an AMD series card if it can beat out the competition. (I'm looking for performance/dollar, no one manufacturer has me tied down as of yet)

I'm looking to do an overhaul of my rig and through research and careful picking came up with this: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $299.99 @ Walmart CPU Cooler Noctua NH-L9i 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler $39.95 @ Amazon Motherboard MSI X570-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard $172.50 @ Amazon Memory Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory $74.99 @ Newegg Storage Patriot Scorch 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $57.99 @ Newegg Case Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case $98.98 @ Newegg Power Supply Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply $114.99 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $859.39 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-12-05 10:21 EST-0500 It's about as high of a budget I'm capable of spending, though up to $1000 is bearable if it's a significant enough bump in performance. I'm looking for feedback and suggestions of how I can tweak and adjust things to make things that much smoother. Also a question, the compatibility notes mention some things: Note: The MSI X570-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. Note: The Noctua NH-L9i 33.84 CFM CPU Cooler may require a separately available mounting adapter to fit the MSI X570-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard. Note: Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders. I'm not 100% sure if they're things I should focus on and was hoping someone could fill me in. Thanks!
