https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pdmbGP is this build ideal for my budget?

I recently bought an 4080 GPU and built my PC. I notice there is no cover on the back of the GPU and fine dust that still comes in my case through the case filters, gathers on it. Is it meant to be that way? Is it ok? Is there anything I can do about it? I attached the image with the back (part that is on top) of my GPU. Thank you!

Budget (including currency): 1300 Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming, video editing with Vegas pro 20, blender Other details: I'm planning on building a new but idk what parts are good with what exactly and all the pc words (I'm very new to this). I wanna get a pc that's good for both gaming and video editing and at least does well with blender I've looked up on Google and a bunch of YouTube videos on it and I think I'm starting to get a slight idea of how things work and what I should get if I wanna upgrade. But as I am new to this stuff I don't trust myself much about it so I wanted to ask people who are better and know more about at this than I do so any suggestions, help, or anything would be nice. Also my budget is $1300 but I’m fine with going a little over

Budget (including currency): ~4000€ Country: Spain Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Streaming/Recording/Gaming 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): One 1080p 60Hz monitor and one 4K 144Hz monitor, all the needed peripherals are included Hello everyone, my friend asked me to help them build a PC recently. I did post about 2 weeks ago asking for advice with this build and after talking to my friend a bunch and doing a bit more research I changed a few parts. I think I'm close to saying this build is ready for ordering in some time (might be a while like a few months). I just wanted to ask for a quick rating and maybe some feedback on this build. It was a bit harder than I expected to find a consistently recommended microphone and headset that had seemingly good quality for the price. (This is my second ever PC build so I expect to have made a bunch of wrong choices) Here's the PCPartPicker link: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/xfLTd9 This build includes a Capture Card because they plan on streaming from PS4 pro sometimes and in the future might go for a dual-pc build. Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for the help.

Good evening Whilst shopping around for AIOs, I came around a curious listing: - Cooler Master Loquid ML360 Sub-Zero Evo AIO. Link: - https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/coolers/cpu-liquid-coolers/masterliquid-ml360-sub-zero-evo/ This is supposedly an effective cryo cooler for intel i9-13900K (my CPU), "promising" to cool my CPU to sub-ambient temperatures but I am skeptical thereof. For reference, I have a 1300W PSU and a 4090 GPU. For my CPU, may I ask, how effective this would be under the following conditions: - 1) CPU-intensive gaming like Cyberpunk 2077, etc. 2) Productivity Tasks. 3) Under Stress (benchmark-level). This one is more for my curiosity than practical daily use. 4) Any other situations you all may think of, being that I am still very new to PC-building and cooling. I am concerned about the condensation on my motherboard but apparently that is taken care of by the AIO. However, due to the lack of reviews thereon (which may be telling of itself) and my skepticism towards marking, I humbly seek your guidance to confirm how well this AIO performs and that, if otherwise, you could point me to a good AIO (cryo or otherwise). Thank you.

Good day, everyone I am a complete amateur, building my first-ever pc with the money I painstakingly saved and I hope to liquid-cool both my intel i9-13900KS and msi suprim x 4090 gpu. I planned to configure them using corsairs configuration tool but then learnt that they do not have a waterblock for my gpu. However, EK does. But, I worry if it will be compatible with corsairs cooling solution involving their pipes, pumps, reservoirs, radiators and fittings. I hope to have your recommendation betwen hardline and softline tubing as well (for lack of a better word). May I have your keen guidance, as far better and experienced builder that I hope to be? I would like to know if EK quantum vector 2 waterblock for Msi sprim x 4090 gpu will be compatible with corsairs cooling products and solution. For your reference, I am building this in a corsair tower case.

Hey guys, so I can finally afford to buy a new graphics card but I'm not sure what to buy out of the three options I have: Sapphire Radeon RX 5500 XT Pulse SF 4G (most expensive of the three) Gigabyte GTX 1650 D6 OC 4GB Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti 4GB (the cheapest of the three) My concerns: My recently bought 21-inch 1080p monitor supports AMD Freesync. But I have an Intel Core i3 - 7100 3.9 GHz, I'm not sure if the CPU might affect things too much. (Please keep in mind, I only want to play at 1080p Medium/High with 30+ FPS.) Thanks in advance for the help! Kind Regards PrimeMinister

Budget (including currency): 600-800 USD Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Valorant, Fortnite, COD, Rocket League Other details My son wants his first gaming pc, the price is just the build. I have attached the PC part picker listed that I created that is pretty bare bones and simple. Would like feedback and improvements on parts. I know my biggest struggle will be getting a graphics card due to limited supply. He liked a couple pc's on best buy but I was skeptical of it since I know some prebuilts cheap out on parts like the psu. Any advice? Games play: 1080p, low/medium intensity 120Hz

Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a predicament. I've looked around a bit on the internet for a graphics card for my new build (includes i5-9400F and 16GB RAM), I just want to game at 1080p on Medium (or Low if it doesn't look like shite). My main problems are the conditions of the cards I got on my shortlist, the pricing and the long-term (meaning I don't want to buy a GPU that I might have to upgrade over the next few years). I'm not sure what to choose. Secondhand (I'm very hesitant on buying used): Gigabyte AORUS RX580 - 4GB - WINDFORCE OC (282 USD) Gigabyte RX480 4GB G1 GAMING (232 USD) ASUS GTX 1060 3GB DUAL (282 USD) MSI GTX1060 GAMING X 6GB (421 USD) New: SAPPHIRE PULSE RX 5500 XT 4GB (297 USD) MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT MECH 4G OC (285 USD) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 EAGLE OC 4GB (280 USD) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 D6 WINDFORCE OC 4GB (282 USD) P.S I'm upgrading from a Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti 4GB OC Windforce, i3-7100 and 8 GB RAM Thanks in advance for the help!

Reason why this is not in workbench: 1. I have all the parts planned out, thats it. Ok so some quick backstory here, my old pc: (Bought used for 500$, GTX 970, i5-6600k, 16GB Ram HyperX, stock cooler, 500W Power Supply, 500GB SSD and a 3TB HDD, prebuilt) fell on the ground and it kind of broke/stopped working. At first it booted and then turned off for a quick second and powered back on. I opened the side panel and took all the power cables back in. Now it boots and stays on. and there we are now. I dont think i want to fix it. Like the screen doesnt connect to the pc, no of the USB ports are working etc. In the front or back. So i decided to build a new one, and i needed a upgrade anyways. The specs i have planned out for the new pc, about 1800$ in my currency: Case: Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow Mid Tower Processor: i5-10600k RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200MHz 16GB Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B460-F GAMING SSD: Kingston A2000 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti VENTUS 3X OC Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i RGB Platinum SE Power Supply: Corsair RM750x, 750W Hvit PSU HDD: Seagate SkyHawk 2TB 3.5'' HDD EXTRA: FANS: Corsair LL120 RGB 120mm x3 BTW! I HAVE BOUGHT THE CASE AND MOTHERBOARD AND I HAVE ABOUT 200$ TO MY NAME RIGHT NOW. AND MY DAD IS BUYING THE CPU AS AN EARLY BIRTHDAY GIFT. But i cant really afford all of it right now, and i want a pc asap. So i am re'using some parts temporarily. But im working and will get the money slowly and surely. So here are my questions: Can i re-use the SSD and HD without wiping them? Will my 500W be enough to power the i5-10600k and the GTX 970? If i take one fan out and temporarily put it as the one exhaust in the back, will i get good airflow? (You get 3 corsair RGB Fans intake in the front of the case.) Feel free to ask questions, and my country makes good prebuilts. Unlike many places in America etc. So no green ram, green motherboard. All in brand.

INTEL BUILD Processor : Core i5 12600K Mobo : MSI PRO Z690-A DDR4 12th gen CPU cooler : Deepcool Ak620 Ram : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz 16*2 Total 32GB SSD : Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 250GB SSD AMD BUILD Processor : Ryzen 7 5800X Mobo : Asus TUF B550M-PLUS GAMING AMD AM4 Micro-ATX Motherboard CPU cooler : Deepcool Ak620 Ram : Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB DDR4 3200Mhz 16*2 Total 32GB SSD : Samsung 970 EVO NVMe M.2 250GB SSD If I get AMD build I can save up to 100USD for the motherboard. This PC will be used for Gaming & 3D workload. Personally I prefer the Intel build, Getting 6 P core and 4 E core. total of 10 cores. AMD R7 5800X has 8 core. So is it worth getting Intel build even though it'll cost 100$ more? Note : I'm buying this from our local shop, and price here is not stable at all. For example right now 12600K is around 350USD.

Hi. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x and I am looking to try and overclock it. I was just wondering which CPU coolers that I have would work best with this CPU. Would the Scythe Ninja Fuma 2 work, or should I stick with the 5600x stock cooler?

I've been thinking about buying some new parts for my PC. I want to buy a new case, mobo, psu and cpu cooler. I have tried to do some research before, and I keep seeing, that it is best if I reinstall windows when swapping mobo. Should I do that? And what about the old drivers that I have installed? should I install new ones, and do the old ones get uninstalled when I install new ones?

The other day I found a Gamer's Nexus video in my subscription feed. It was Steve Burke criticizing a magazine's article on how PC building is "hard" and to prove it wasn't, would do a speed build. Admittedly I didn't watch the whole video, nor did I read the article in question. But my overall takeaway is this: to all you people who build or built their machines, stop saying it's easy as if building a PC is like operating an elevator or using a phone. Now ignoring the other aspects of building a PC that conveniently get ignored, like identifying your needs, planning your budget, researching parts, testing, and if needed, troubleshooting, of course it's easy to build a PC if you've done it before. But to a fresh newbie, it still may be a nervous experience that really isn't all that easy for them. To put in another way, I think about the time I was leaning how to ride a motorcycle vs when I ride now. I was nervous about shifting gears around except up when accelerating and down when coming to a stop, I had trouble with the clutch, hills were a problem, going down even past 45 MPH scared me, lane splitting was something I dared not to do with moving traffic. Now, all of that no longer matters. I can shift just by my gut feeling. I have competent control of the clutch. I can manage most hills (though I'm sure San Francisco will humble me in a second). Highway speeds feel normal. I even lane split in moving traffic (and I survived LA). These are all more or less "natural" to me. I don't have to think about how to do the action, but merely when to do it. So riding a motorcycle is easy to me. I think it's easy. But it's not. Granted building a PC isn't this complex, risky, or what have you, but I wanted to illustrate a point. I'm sure most of you who built their own PC consulted the internet a few dozen times throughout each step of the process. I'm sure you spent a lot of time mulling over what's good for you or what's not. Or maybe you didn't and just copied someone else's build (though I'd argue you're sort of cheating). I'm sure when something went wrong, you nearly needed a change of underwear or blew a few blood vessels. If PC building were really easy for anyone, nobody would need to do or worry about any of this.

Budget (including currency): $2400 USD or $3080 CAD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly FPS games; Warzone, Apex, CSGO, Rainbow Six Siege, Squad, but also Age of Empires, Civilization, etc. Other details Monitor needed; preferably 1440p @ 165-240Hz, will need strong WiFi capabilities for motherboard (considering using a powerline too. Looking to build a gaming PC, primarily for FPS. Not going to be doing video editing, graphics, etc. Will need a monitor as well. WiFi capable motherboard in case, considering going powerline route as well. If my good people in the LTT forums could recommend me a list of components for the build I would greatly appreciate it! Hoping it'll be future proof for the next 3-5 years for reference. Also side note, first ever PC build, think it's something I can handle on my own if I watch some LTT videos? Thank you in advance plunder

I have this connector coming from the rgb fan hub that came with my case (Corsair 220T) there is no header for this on the motherboard or the psu. I'm really lost because this is my first time building a PC. I have attached the pic of the connector to this post. Any help will be appreciated.
