Budget (including currency): About €1000,- Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Somewhat newer gaming. Other details The old case might be recyclable, but if a new one would fit in the budget that would be amazing. So my friend from work is looking to build her first computer (herself). Amazing! She made a list herself and is wondering if I could help her. My first addition would be a cpu cooler lol, but any changes you guys would make with about 150 euro more to spend?

Hi Guys! I have been running into some issues with my gaming rig. While playing New World i'm getting around 30-40FPS in towns and 60-70FPS in less populated areas medium settings at 1440P. Ive attached all my specs below from a UserBenchmark test. I know New World is a brand new game but other people with the same specs as myself are getting much higher performance. Its also not only New World Ive noticed i get far less performance in other games than people with the same specs such as Warzone, Cold War, Halo Infinite beta, Gears 5 etc. I also ran 2 tests on userbenchmark one without G sync and one with G sync and the difference in performance is incredible. I'm getting to the point of wanting to wipe my entire PC and start from scratch. Does anyone have any ideas on why my system is not performing to its potential?

Hi new guy here, I finally got some parts and I'm slowly starting to build it. Some random questions. I can provide pics if needed. I have a computer desk that is metal with a glass top. Is it possible to use it to build on top of while using a anti static strap. I don't have a mat available. I am currently building on a hardwood floor grounded to a power supply plugged into an outlet but it's so uncomfortable. I'm new to M.2 drives and there's a pack of screws that came with the motherboard, I'm guessing those are what I used to secure the drives to the board? I don't see any stand offs or anything. My motherboard is a asus rog strix b550-f gaming My m.2 is WD black sn750 gen 3 . 500gb and a 1Tb Airflow questions, I have an MSI Aio and a corsair icue 220t. I'm thinking about attaching the rad to the top of the case and putting fans under it. Is that the best for airflow? Watching several videos about thermal paste. It looks like the line mentod is the best to use right?

can i use any fan hub with antec superflow 120

Hi, I'm looking to buy a laptop for college with a max budget of 2k. I was thinking about just buying the new mac laptop but I know I could get more bang for my buck. I will use the laptop for school work, gaming, and video editing. I don't want it to look 'gamery' with rgb and stuff like that. Any recommendations? Thanks so much.

First off, the specs. Asus RTX 3060 Ryzen 5 5600x Samsung 970 Evo SSD 1TB Unknown John Doe Hard-drive 2TB 2×8 Corsair Vengeance Pro ddr4 On a Rog Strix B550-F Gaming board Right, so I can start up the computer fine and watch YouTube, Hulu or Hbo max fine. I can only play siege (R6) in training mode. The board will crash if I launch Apex Legends. A little red light abruptly comes on and the restart process begins. We originally thought it was because my old pre-built had an illegitimate version of windows that he stole from our school. But I've bought my own product key now, implemented that annnnnd it still crashes...i honestly dont what to do and i miss streaming with the bois, can anyone please help?

IPv6 supposedly removes all classic NAT related problems regarding port forwarding. I already have it for quite some time, so do I still need to port forwarding/UPnP for online gaming? Or games aren't using it already because a more global implementation is needed?

Budget (including currency): 3700 USD (including monitor, excluding other peripherals) Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games: Anno 1800, CoD, LOL | Photo edditing: Ligntroom, Luminar, big backup for photos in RAID 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 internet strangers! I'm assembling my first custom build (which I intend to start doing by the beginning of 2021) and would like to share my thought process for both receiving improvements suggestions and helping whoever is also trying to define their own build. I would love to hear your thoughts on the parts I'm selecting - do you see any compatibility issue, any individual performance concern, anything you would rather buy a cheaper version with a similar result, ... I'll walk you through my rationale and needs, but if you want to jump straight ahead to the list itself, here it is. The complete part's list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JLdycT [ ~$3700] for PC + Monitor [ ~$1500] for Miscellaneous Rationale: - I want to future proof myself by buying good parts since I'm (a) building from scratch and (b) I'll build while I'll be in the US and after a few years I'll have to move - i.e. future hardware upgrades would be way costlier. - I'm a gamer (no shit Sherlock), meaning: I need a good graphics card; DRAMS with good speed and low CAS (low latency after all); A good CPU (love to play Anno). - I'm a photographer (it's a hobby that I take seriously) and I love to post-process heavy raw images later on, meaning: I need a good amount of memory space and also a proper backup (in raid) - cloud could get really expensive when you have 5TB+ ; I need a fair amount of DRAM memory, 32GB will set me back, but since I don't edit videos (usually), 128GB seems unnecessary; A good processor. Since I don't render digital images or 3d models I shouldn't need an $800+ threadripper CPU, though. Parts discussion: [$550] CPU: Since I need a combination of CPU performance and gaming, at a fair price, I decided to go with AMD. Given the latest news, I believe the 5900x should be available by January, and would future proof myself offering great performance, so that's my pick: https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5900x [$300] Motherboard: I need a motherboard with good power delivery (amount of phases and its quality) since I will be overclocking the 5900x and likely the DRAMs; Future-proofing is important to me, so I wanted PCIe gen 4 connections and an x570 chipset; I intend to use at least 6 SATA ports, so that's a boundary as well (well, not quite... I could expand my # of SATA with a PCI-e SATA adaptor, but that could constrain my RAID capabilities in addition to adding cost and complexity); I wanted at least one USB 3.2 gen 2 connector - Will make my life easier when transferring photos from my camera; I don't care for RGB, actually I rather not to have it (sorry RGB folks); I may be constrained on internet cables where I will be living, so I want a WIfi-capable MOBO - with good bandwidth to allow for proper gaming. With all that I decided to go with the one that is cheaper at the time among these two: - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/GcfFf7/asus-rog-crosshair-viii-hero-wi-fi-atx-am4-motherboard-rog-crosshair-viii-hero-wi-fi - https://pcpartpicker.com/product/CLkgXL/asus-rog-strix-x570-e-gaming-atx-am4-motherboard-rog-strix-x570-e-gaming [$150] CPU cooling: I'm using and overclocking a very strong CPU so a no-stock cooler is a must. Since the pc may eventually have to travel, I was inclined not to use an Air cooler (A NH-D15 would be quite heavy, putting tension on the MOBO in the travel). Also, the big and potent air coolers have a narrow RAM clearance (32mm for NH-D15) which would restrict me on the RAMs -- I'll be using 4 DRAMS, more on that later. So, for a non-RGB guy, looking for performance and price, and for an AIO water cooler, that's what I plan on going for: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JfVG3C/nzxt-kraken-x63-9817-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-rl-krx63-01 [$300] RAM: As I mentioned in my needs, I needed to go for 64GB+. Also, I wanted a good CAS and frequency (something over 3400 Mhz and less than 18CL). Also, I decided to go with 4 sticks rather than 2 for three reasons: Price; 4x16 usually outperforms 2x32 in gaming I don't believe I will need to add more memory at least in the next 7-8 years, so I'm fine with not having spare RAM slots Once again, I don't care for RGB and at that point I decided to go for a white-themed PC, so I decided to go with 2 sets of these 2x16 memories: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/9y848d/crucial-ballistix-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k16g36c16u4w [$907, yes I know...] Storage: Again, I have two big needs: fast access storage and a huge capacity for backups. [$162] Fast access: I went for the EVO 970 1TB (for the operational system, games, and editing programs). I feel that the 980 is way overpriced for the additional performance, while the difference from the EVO970 to other 1TB NVMe options is bearable - Actually, I'm not 100% sure of it, I may change for a cheaper NVMe... what do you think? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Zxw7YJ/samsung-970-evo-plus-1-tb-m2-2280-nvme-solid-state-drive-mz-v7s1t0bam [$351] Daily usage storage (mainly my photos and files): I decided to get a mix of performance and cheap storage: 2x 2TB WD Blue SSDS in RAID 0 configuration - I know these WD blues do not have great speeds, but I think having them in RAID 0 and using for photo and other files should be enough. The total 4TB is a must though, I need ( 3TB+) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Mtprxr/western-digital-0-25-2000000rpm-internal-hard-drive-wds200t2b0a [$392] Backup: I wanted to go for something with a virtual memory of 8TB+ and with RAID (not raid 0). Originally, I thought of having 3 HDDs in RAID 5, but my MOBO doesn't support the RAID 5 setup. Thus, I decided on a 4HDD Raid 10 setup (which is supported by the MOBO). With that, having 5400RPM HDDs is more than enough (remember, backup), since the RAID 10 would also speed them up. Even being in RAID I didn't want to go very cheap and compromise on reliability, so I decided to go with 4x 6TB WD Blue (in RAID 10), rather than the cheaper barracudas (which have a higher Annual Fail Rate) https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Z2HRsY/western-digital-blue-6-tb-35-5400rpm-internal-hard-drive-wd60ezaz [$700] GPU: I think this one was a no-brainer for me. I want a very good GPU for gaming and future-proofing. However, I won't be playing on 45" 4K monitors, so I decided to go with the RTX 3080, and for aesthetics and benchmark results I chose the Founders edition: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RnDkcf/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3080-10-gb-founders-edition-video-card-9001g1332530000 [~$150] Case: I had a few preferences here: Mid-tower (Having a full tower could be annoying when moving in a couple of years); Good ventilation is a must, low noise levels are preferred; At least 4x 3.5" bays without having the HDD showing between the MOBO and front panel; White color preferred; USB 3.2 gen 2 in the front. With all of that, I decided to go with the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/bnzkcf/phanteks-eclipse-p600s-atx-mid-tower-case-ph-ec600pstg_wt01 I love its aesthetics, the fact that it supports 3x140mm fans in the front, 3x140 in the top, and 1x140 in the back, and checks my other boxes. It also performed very well in benchmarks for acoustics and cooling capabilities. In addition, love the fact that all my storage would be properly hidden behind the MOBO shield or beside the PSU. [$205] PSU: My bare minimum is a 750W due to the RTX3080, but that being said, I wanted to future proof myself and go two steps more (+200W) thinking of upgrading after ~5-6 years without having to change the PSU - these things last an eternity. Not to mention that having a few Watts more would allow me to overclock without a heavy conscience and would put me in a good point in the PSU efficiency curve. Also, I don't believe I'd ever been SLIing, so no need for humongous Wattages here...In addition to that, I went for strong brands and 80+ gold at least. Looking at the prices I chose https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nQJkcf/corsair-hx-platinum-1000w-80-platinum-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020139-na which right now is $205 so I think it's a very good price. If its price increases, I would go for the 1200 W version which is $250. [$92] Case cooling: These were my guidelines: All 140mm fans (allow for better noise levels, which was one of the factors for picking the case); I wanted some white light coming from them in the upper-back part of the case; Having the sum of inflow CFMs being higher than the outflow CFMs sum. The case comes with 3x140mm non-led and non-PWM (3pin) fans. I intend to leave them all in the front, however, I saw that they are not very strong/efficient -- unfortunately, I found very little data for them. Would love if some could provide numbers on them. With that, I decided put the radiator (280mm) on the front in a push-pull config, while having one of the 140mm slots with only the stock fanThat would allow me to have 5 inlet fans in the front, but with a non-extraordinary individual performance. To balance it I decided to have 3x140mm in the rear/top of the case, having decided to go with the https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ycH48d/corsair-co-9050046-ww-970-cfm-140mm-fan-co-9050046-ww With that, I would have 3 strong outlet fans vs 5 average inlet fans, which certainly would give me a very good airflow in terms of displaced volume, and hopefully a positive pressure environment. In addition, it would complete my white but sober build. Also, I didn't want to put any outlet fans in the top-front position of the case since I believe it actually acts against the cooling efficiency (exhausting cool air before it refrigerates anything). [$300] Monitor: I'm still thinking a lot about this one. I'm already a little over budget so I didn't want to spend too much, that being said, my minimum specs from what I think would suit me (and I could be very wrong here, so please comment on that) are: 144Hz+ 2K+ 27"+ Low response time G-sync With all of that, I found this, which seems to be a very good cost-benefit: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LFRzK8/acer-xv272u-pbmiiprzx-270-2560x1440-144-hz-monitor-xv272u-pbmiiprzx In addition to all of these main parts, I also picked some smaller ones, but I don't think it's worth mentioning. For the full list of parts, please visit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JLdycT My main open questions: - Should I save money on my main NVMe using a $100 Crucial P5 or so? - Do you have data on the Phanteks stock fans? - Is 27" too small for gaming? I also think that going too big would make me have to move my head a lot while gaming, so wouldn't be ideal, but maybe a 32" would be a better sweet-spot? Would you have any specific monitor suggestions around this price range? Comments are very well appreciated! Hope I also help someone with their thought process. Best

Hey guys, been a while since I came back on here asking for some help on things. So, as the title suggests I am looking for a quiet keyboard(as quiet as possible) but I am also a gamer so I would like it if there was RGB involved as well. Searching around is a nightmare because you have a huge amount of misinformation floating about so hopefully someone here can help me out. I am not very well informed on what switches or brands to look for so information is highly appreciated. Budget is $250 as I really don't mind spending a bit on one of the items I use the most considering I do computer work as well as gaming together. I need something that's going to last so I would assume Double Shot PBT keycaps would be preferred as well.

This has been a problem for a while now and i have tried almost everything. I changed my graphics card, upgraded my cpu to a ryzen 9, and i use hyper x fury 2x8 2666hz. I've closed all programs and background as well and it still closes. And tempetures are from 58C to 63C. I need to know how to fix this before it destroys my pc. And the most weird thing is it only happens with games and no other program. For now i haven't been playin that much but when i do it either crashes or simply closes. I really need help you guys. BTW my mobo is a b450 f and my gpu is an msi radeon rx 570 8gb.

So I've made this build for a kid who's going to be introduced to gaming. Tell me what changes you would make. https://www.komplett.dk/wishlists/e62359ff-0f8e-4927-afa8-994cd557eaff Btw, 5800 dkk = 870 USD. Everything is expensive in Denmark.. i know I chose the 960 evo, since it's like 20 USD more than a normal sata 240 gb ssd atm.

TLDR; my ping is 9. att gigapower is basically 30. if I switch to att, and get the 30 ping, will I lag more on my games? hey guys. I might be getting att gigapower soon. though, I need a gamers perspective or someone who would know the outcome. so heres the question, haha. when I look up network tests for att gigapower, usually the ping in the test is around the high 20s (27,28,29). while I take the same test, my ping is 9. (this might be their problem and might not happen to me, but let's say it's not them, and its att gigapower) does that mean I will lag more in my games? because to me, that's all that matters, and I don't want to get new wifi if I will lag more. thanks!

So... This had gotten to the point of ridiculous... This is my 5th replacement after the card bricking after about 9 months of use... and now it's bricked again and it's just outside it's warranty... The 5th bloody card and I couldn't get money back because I got assured the issue wouldn't happen after this firmware update for WIN10... Anyone else had this issue with theirs??? Any resolution to "unbrick" the damn card?? System: i7 4790K, Asus Z97 Deluxe, 16GB RAM, Intel 600P 512G SSD, GTX 1070.

I want to recopy the 2 Gaming Rigs, 1 Tower - Virtualized Gaming Build Log, I have 24gig of DDR4 ram at 3600MHz, a quad core i7 6700, and a GTX1070 8gs founder's edition besides getting another graphics card which will be a (GTX1070 founders edition most likely). What else do I need? I have an M.2 960 Evo 500gig and a 2 hard drives at 2 tbh each my motherboard is an MSI Z170 SLI PLUS. I also am confused just a bit on how to do it, I only want to get to having 2 people play or use the "computers" at the same time I don't stream and if I want to change to SLI can I do that without having to undo the whole work?
