Budget (including currency): $1,000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: ? Probably F1 2023 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): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sdTTDZ My question is about the "14 total / 10 usable" Native PCIe lanes here: https://www.amd.com/en/product/14086 I am ready to spring for an 8500G. Assume my 8500G choice is locked. What is a good motherboard that has 2 x USB4 to take advantage of those pins coming from the CPU, and as much PCIe expansion as possible? Assume I'll keep the motherboard for 15+ years. Eventually I'll get some faster AM5 CPU to put in it. The ASUS ROG X670E crosshair hero almost seems like a good choice. (The manual is here) Explanation: The ROG X670E strix has 1 DisplayPort 1.4 output on the rear I/O but no USB4. The ROG crosshair has 2 x USB4 display outputs from the CPU. And the 8500G has 2 x USB4 ports. But I'm still nervous I missed something that's going to bite me later. What will be the limitations on PCIe slots? If the CPU had a full 16 lanes for the x16 the manual then talks about bifurcation on p. vii "specifications summary" -- The second PCIe 5.0 x16 slot works only in x8 mode: "(support x16 or x8/x8 mode)" And "When PCIE 5.0 M.2 card is installed on PCIEX16_2, PCIEX16_1 will run x8 only." Some of that is pretty normal for X670E motherboards based on [1]. What I'm wondering is what happens when the APU only has 10 usable PCIe lanes? Will the second x16 stop working at all - same for the slots M.2_1 and M.2_2 which each use x4 of PCIe 5.0, they prob will just not work at all. So I have to use M.2_3 and M.2_4 which are PCIe 4.0 x4 - that doesn't seem so bad. I do see that pcpartpicker flags the 5800G CPU as being so new I'll need to flash the motherboard BIOS before I can install it. That's the $650 ASUS board that I'm looking at. Now, I hear you, you'll cringe at spending that much on the motherboard. Motherboards have gotten pricey lately, so I'm looking to buy an excellent one and to really peer into its guts. I mean, I looked at the ASRock X670E Taichi Carrara for $623 and it has the same warning, "support x16 or x8/x8 modes*" and probably has the same gotcha if M2_1 is used. Gigabyte seems to have discontinued the X670E Aero D, and the AORUS Master limits its USB-C to DisplayPort 1.4. MSI has the same DisplayPort 1.4 limitation. Anyone already have the ROG crosshair or ASRock Taichi Carrara? [1] https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-rog-crosshair-x670e-hero/

Budget (including currency): Unknown USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: heavy gaming, content creation (adobe suite), 3d modelling and animation, occasional use of local AI programs 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): Planned Upgrade List : https://pcpartpicker.com/user/samlchmn/saved/rTZ4pg Current Parts List (including Peripherals*) : https://pcpartpicker.com/user/samlchmn/saved/wxqfpg * Not planning on upgrading peripherals. The only thing staying is the case, my 8TB HDD, and power supply (Yes, I have a 1000W PSU. I feel victim to the 'futureproofing' BS). The other parts will be going to a friend as a birthday/christmas gift. This won't be for a while as finances are tight. I figure prices will drop a bit before I do get enough cash scrounged for an upgrade, but wanted to make a list and get some thoughts.

Hey folks, i am upgrading my PC components and this will be the final build of all it's upgrades: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6vtNgB Estimated wattage: 828W. i wont do overclocking! i may add 1 or more NVME SSD to the build and the main GPU will be a 4080 super, it's not out yet, but i plan to add that one even the 4070 ti, i am between 4070's and 4080's. the PSU i am planning to buy is an Corsair RM1000x or EVGA SuperNova 1000 GT, but i hope you can help me with better options or if this option is good enough. i hope you can help me. Cheers.

Hello! I have an issue with the PC I am about to build myself. On PCPartPicker, there is a note saying "A USB 3.2 Gen 2 to USB 3.2 Gen 1 header adapter is required." I am unable to find this adapter, only from USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 3.2 Gen 2, not the contrary. Pherhaps someone can recommend a listing of an adapter or advise me on a different motherboard or similar case that fixes this issue?

Budget (including currency): €2200-2400 Country: Netherlands Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Various games, think Elden Ring, Armored core 6, Starfield, ARK 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): Planning to buy at the end of the year, hoping for some discounts. Always had mid range builds, would like to invest some more money in a better, longer lasting machine. Currently using a Ryzen 5 2600x and 1660 ti. Planning on reusing my two current ssds. But if budget allows it would like to add another m2. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hr3zKX Let me know what you think and if you have suggestions. Thank you in advance.

I would like to build my first pc, and have been saving up for a few years now. I put together this pc, but would like to hear some more qualified people opinion on it. Im also not entirely sure which companys gpu, storage, and psu I should use. I dont mind spending a little extra on rgb just not crazy amounts. I will mostly use the pc for heavy gaming and school work. It would also be nice to know which parts I should upgrade in the future. Thank you for the helpful feedback in advance!

I am currently planning to build my first PC and I plan on using it for basic gaming (nothing that requires much power), but I am also trying to save as much money as I can without losing to much performance. Currently this is my parts list, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MFLMqm. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Hello! Here I have a PCPartPicker list of a PC I will build in less than 2 months. Has someone got any recommendations for changes or is it good as it is? Will the GPU be the bottleneck for the system? Could I just use DDR4 RAM with the DDR4 version with this board and have no performance lost or is DDR5 more future-proof? I would rather have recommendations for cheaper parts. (I'm going to buy everything used exept the PSU) The list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Floresdorf/saved/vWBzvK

Has anyone else noticed that for about the last 2 weeks, maybe more that PCPartPicker has been having an issue with AMD CPU & Motherboard pairings? It just about always says that the Motherboard will need a BIOS update to work with the CPU. For example a Ryzen 5 5600x with a B550 or x570 Motherboard paired together will say that you might need a BIOS update when all B550 and x570 Boards should be 100% ready to go for a 5600x, right? I am I the only one seeing this, and it's not just the 5600x, it's pretty much all of AM4 when I go to make a build list. What are your thoughts???

Budget (including currency): Quite flexible ~$2000 Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Heavily modded Minecraft, Factorio, a bit of Overwatch, some OBS recording/streaming, and plenty of assorted programs.

I have not bought the graphics card yet so I can still switch cards. I'm trying to get a 6700xt for close to msrp but I can get one for $1000. I want at least 75 fps. Thanks!

Hi, I have a possible build for a Minecraft server, though I would like it slightly cheaper. There should be no more than 20 people and 20 plugins. However I plan to use the multiverse plugin, and possibly geyser which I assume uses more ram. This is too expensive though. Any ideas on how to get it down?

Budget (including currency): $800 USD Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly Minecraft (Modded and rarely shaders), try newer games 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 DO NOT WANT A GPU https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Cat_Gamer23/saved/XLQHGX I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. I would like to have some tips and similar on both how to price slightly lower, and if anything isn't compatible/not enough cooling fans etc.

I have this list of computer parts that I want to use to make a PC, but want to know if this list looks good from a dell business PC, I could also use intergrated graphics from the CPU until the GTX 1050 TI of something else gets into budget https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Hvm99r

Budget (including currency): $1750.00 CAD before Tax (about 1413.00 USD) Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: High performance on most mid-range games (Minecraft, Valorant, Risk of Rain 2, etc.) 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): Planning to build an Intel pc because a 3 year old laptop just isn't cutting it for my gaming preferences. I have the parts I'm wanting to use listed below. I already have a good monitor, mouse, and speakers as well as a 1TB HHD drive so they will not be included in the list.

I have a GPU that I had salvaged from my cousin's PC. He says it should still work very well so I will not be buying a new one (at least until the prices drop down). I've linked the model below just for reference. GPU: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB Phoenix OC Video Card
