Budget (including currency): Euro Country: European Union Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Video Editing & Gaming few times per month 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): Hey community, It's time to get a completely new PC in the next 2 weeks and here is what I was looking for and for what I need. Video editing is something that is key point for this PC and sometimes playing a match or two of FPS games like Counter-Strike or Warzone. I'm buying a PC in Europe so my default store for searching components is https://www.mindfactory.de/ since they have most of the parts, cheaper than most of the competitors and they are of course in Europe (Germany). My budget is around 3500€ +- 200/300€ should not be a problem but I would love to get under 3500€ or even cheaper. Here is what I've built so far: MOBO: MSI MAG Z790 TOMAHAWK WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K 3 GHz 24-Core Processor CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 56.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler GPU: MSI SUPRIM X GeForce RTX 4080 16 GB Video Card --> Not sure if 4090 is worth of upgrading or not? RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory RAM: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 64 GB (2 x 32 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory SSD: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive SSD: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive PS: SeaSonic FOCUS GX 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply --> Good Enough? Or should change with anything else? Case: missing, I totally have no clue which one should I grab..feel free to give suggestions. ATX Mid Tower should be fine for it? Case vents: 3x ARCTIC Case Fan BioniX P120 Edit: Two monitors will come after but I'm planning on 4k, IPS. Waiting for the best price since it skyrocket. Do I need G-Sync or does not matter? As I said, I'm not a professional video editor (yet) but I'm fully into it. If there is any part overpowered and some part that is not good enough and should be upgraded, let me know. Thanks

Recently completed my new high-end build and putting it through its paces on a few games. Seeing some unexpected behaviour in CS:GO, while other more demanding titles run perfectly (Forza Horizon 4 for instance). When not limited, frame rate in CS:GO levels off around 400-450 FPS, which is roughly what I would expect with my hardware. However, occasionally seeing huge frame rate dips to 40-50 FPS, for 1/2 second or so. Happens about once every couple of minutes, but very unpredictable. Often happens when encountering other players but the correlation is not quite definitive enough to say that’s the cause... I’ve tried all combinations of running with adaptive sync on/off, running at low settings, limiting FPS, and keeping an eye on system resources while playing. Sometimes the issue is much less frequent, but hard to tell if that’s actually related to anything I’m doing. Not seeing any weird resources behaviour... GPU doesn’t seem overly taxed and the CPU runs under load at 45-50degC (CPU package is more like 50-60). Build Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x CPU cooler: Corsair H80i V2 VGA: Gigabyte RX 6900XT - connected via PCIE 3.0 riser cable MOBO: Asus ROG STRIX B550-i gaming RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 3600Hz SSD: WD SN850 2TB M.2 PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX CASE: Phanteks Evolv Shift 2 Air Monitor 1 (primary gaming): ASUS VG27AQ 1440p 165 Hz Monitor 2 (productivity, no gaming): Dell U2520D 1440p 60Hz Internet: 850 Mb/s down/950 Mb/s up, speed tests show ping of 1ms Wondering if anyone can provide insight, or has had similar experiences? Is this normal behaviour in CS:GO? Possible server-side lag? Hoping it’s not a hardware issue, because I really can’t tell what it would be. I don’t see any obvious bottlenecks, and the PC can handle much heavier games with ease.

Hey, i have this build - GTX 1080TI, Ryzen 7 1700, 16 GB ram ddr4 3000mhz, Motherboard gigabyte atx GA-AB35, SSD 240gb, SSD 64gb, HD 1 TB, PSU 550W, and i play PUBG and League of legends, particularly in league of legends, my fps stays in the middle's of 140 fps +- , in the configs of lol, the fps is unlimited, in my conception my build should get 250 + fps in LOL, someone can help me ?

So I recently upgraded my PC and the specs are as follow: Aorus Elite x570 wifi Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 2x8 DDR4 3600MHz Ryzen 7 3700x Red Devil Radeon RX 5700 XT Samsung Evo 970 m.2 (Windows OS and game installed) Samsung Evo 850 (PUBG installed) WD HDD EVGA G2 750W However, with this new build I expected to be able to play games such as PUBG and other games flawlessly but I keep experiencing these micro stutters that I don't know what to do about. Temperatures while playing are CPU 55-60 C degrees on DFO (it's a really old game and a single core game) Temperatures while playing PUBG CPU 65-70 degrees C max, GPU 65-69 degrees C. Examples of it in PUBG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJFllkXqbw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23LInvhTUbc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTlU139sBTs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKyTImwT30w Examples of it in other game (DFO): https://youtu.be/6P57CkIFlRs?t=761 https://youtu.be/6P57CkIFlRs?t=1081 Latencymon on the examples of PUBG: https://imgur.com/a/Ij8lPDn Things I've tried: Re-installing Windows 10 (about 3~4 times) (I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro) Disabling HPET Disabling windows defender, between other services recommended by youtube videos or other people one by one to see if any fixed it Using different versions of AMD GPU (Recommended by powercolor, older recommended drivers by AMD users, newest drivers, etc. (all while using DDU and safe mode)) Ryzen High performance and Ryzen balance in power options Changing Surge protector Turning off and uninstalling any other program that isn't the games (iCUE, Razer synapse, discord, etc.) Playing turning off the full screen optimization properties and running as administrator Emptying cached memory with wj32.org Turning off XMP, turning on XMP Turning off Cool n Quiet Upgrading BIOS Overclocking GPU, underclocking GPU, not messing with GPU at all (stock settings) Checking all my driver updates in Windows Updating windows version (currently on 1909 Pro) Turning off firewall Turning off exploit setting for CFG and also adding both programs to program settings to avoid the 22 system protections Among small other things that I probably can't list. Turning off HDCP, Anti Lag, Enhanced sync, boost, chill, etc. in Radeon software Turning off Freesync Disabling Game DVR, any windows xbox related software Disabling CPU Core 0 for application, setting priority to high I think I've tried about almost everything to fix the microstutters but I cannot fix this. If anyone out there would be so kind to share with me their knowledge to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. The last thing I can think of is doing a clean install of an older windows 10 version and see if that helps but I'm out of ideas completely. Thank you to whoever took the time to read this!

Hi there guys ... I am searching for some ideas and tips regarding my new build ... Since I live in Germany I can only give you a german Link to the Parts I have selected so far .... but the names of the parts are the same as in the US or Canada so it shouldnt be a problem. So this is the Rig I am planing on building and I wanted your input regarding the hardware choises I have made ... I have to tell you, that I want intel and I want n Vidia .... I know they are not the best when it comes to Bang for the buck but I just like them more as brands and I trust them. The part where I am most unshure ist the motherboard and the power suply. I intend to overclock, but not that extremely just a bit so I can brag about it . So I need the Z97 Motherboard, but I dont know if I need the High end one. I just like ASUS because of the cool features like the fan controler and some other stuff ,,, Also the design is pretty cool. As for the power suply I dont know if I need something more specific I think the one I have chosen is pretty good .... but I wanted your opinion before I spend the Money ... Greetings Dimi Final Build : Link

So this is my first time building a rig and I have been anticipating this for a while though it has never come to fruition until possibly very soon. I have posted here asking for ideas before the 900 series were out without a definite idea of what the prices might be but now I have a better understanding. I am looking for a build that can give me maximum performance for the budget as my aim is to go without upgrading every year until I really need to so the newer graphic cards would be better. I am looking for decently high resolution probably 1440-1600 as 4k gaming is too demanding right now but I would welcome 4k if its in my budget though I doubt it. I am mostly going to play games on this rig and probably light photoshop editing for my job. I am hoping to max out on all games for quite sometime if possible. I will reply to any inquiries if needed so I would really appreciate it if anyone can give me some builds to work on as I only have a vague idea on how to create mine as of now. Thanks in advance.

I have spent a great deal of time researching the different specs and settings for gaming on high end pc but I have yet to make a build of my own. I plan on building one towards the end of this year once the new Geforce 800s Maxwell cards are out and possibly other next generation processor etc. Since this is my first time trying to put everything together, I would like some tips, advice and builds that I may be able to use later when I start purchasing the parts. I used to have an ASUS gaming laptop due to travelling on a daily basis but now I foresee that I will be stationary. Note that my budget is around $3000-3200 and I look towards playing games in Ultra-high graphics at a decent fps for a few years, The budget includes accessories like mouse, keyboard, monitor(s) etc. Resolutions includes any highest possible with one monitor. I know that there may be many parts that are not out in the market yet or are yet to be announced in terms of date and price though feel free to speculate if needed so I can use these prototype build as a basis for my understanding. I hope I can get some tips as it will be much appreciated.
