Budget (including currency): open to most but trying to keep it under 1K Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1440P Destiny,Assassins Creed,Hell Divers Pretty much all AAA Games Other details Here is what I have now https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TbxVQP I am looking to upgrade into current Gen more then likely with new Mobo/CPU and cooling if what I have now doesn't work for fit I will then more then likely update the GPU later to either a 4070 Super or 7800XT unsure still I am worried about future proofing I have had my 1070 since 2017 when it launched any and all advice welcome prefer Intel but I dont mind an AMD build! I think the case I have can handle a new build but looking to downsize to a Meshify 2 RGB in the not to distant future. Thanks!

Currently I have a UPS which sits on the floor due to space restrictions. It's a CyberPower 1500VA. Bought it about five years ago and it has been great, though perhaps overkill. In my defense at the time of purchasing I had a custom gaming PC, though that had a 10th gen i5 extreme and a 1050ti so perhaps still overkill. lol My set up has greatly changed as I've switched eco-systems and now I'm currently employing as daily drivers and have for some time. I need a UPS which can support and fit in the following: M1 14" MacBook Pro Intel Core i7 16" MacBook Pro An Apple Studio Display (there is also an array of things plugged into the display which I've attached photos of) Apple Super Drive 2TB External SSD A MagSafe charger for my iPhone and Apple Watch (which I often use while working) A USB dock An old HP Printer A desk fan A pencil sharpener My Energizer AA/AAA battery charger A universal laptop charger (this gets used whenever I have a laptop which needs to be restored that does not come with its original charger, otherwise I use the original charger, so occasionally there is a third laptop) I need it to fit into a cubby on my desk with the following measurements Width: 17 3/8" Height: 3 1/2" Depth: 23 3/8" The reason for those size restrictions is I want it off the ground but not taking up any desk space or noticeable, so I wish to put it into a small side cubby on my L shaped desk. For that reason I was thinking of going with a rack unit and considering my CyberPower one has continued to work without issue, I thought I'd go with them again. I was considering the following unit: https://www.amazon.com/CyberPower-OR500LCDRM1U-System-Outlets-Rackmount/dp/B000XJLLKG/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=6EZQQY594P84&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.A0cUP8zfZTSHPK5mT_pHFHXAum1bmtz96nin2c1_ZG63742obKs_cJrO0F5gHsuWLUrKqB5w1AesCU92uSF_KtgxJL4hGKrJOex4bwmJQ8XHCRMjc8T0xZnGilLqnsqNmnU6g197AQSkIC08biHzPME9HBW1x-2YdY2aXtnpCAestYtu4QSxQjZIiMvCg8Td-SP7FJflvQvI2lTkOfwmiXzLlZwolhqk9XMhfiug8Ok.hJvYW_2uO8EW3zxUNUmQLeHl_RBTyM-wJwM1o2WU3Mg&dib_tag=se&keywords=UPS&qid=1710887546&refinements=p_n_feature_browse-bin%3A32912132011|32912137011%2Cp_n_feature_two_browse-bin%3A109332549011&rnid=109332465011&s=pc&sprefix=up%2Celectronics%2C106&sr=1-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&th=1 My questions are the following: Will this unit be sufficient in making sure that my devices are protected against potential electrical surges? Will this unit be able to provide sufficient power for up to 60 minutes during a power outage? Are there better or more compatible options which you would recommend that I utilize instead? Note: The Studio Display image is outdated as it doesn't have the Super Drive or the MagSafe charger. The Super Drive is mounted so that when the back faces the wall the opening of the drive while hidden faces the right hand side and is easily accessible and the MagSafe charger is connected via a USB C cable and sits on my desk, allowing me to drop off my iPhone and Apple Watch for charging while working.

Budget: $350 ish Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Rocket League, Cult of the Lamb, Cities Skylines, Horizon Zero Dawn, Overwatch, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, Minecraft (w/ shaders), Premiere Pro, Photoshop, (maybe Blender) Other details: I'm noticing a reasonable bottleneck with my Ryzen 5 2600 on a B450 Aorus M Motherboard. This is after I upgraded from a GTX 970 to a RTX 3070. Sure, there's an upgrade path that could let me squeeze out another 10-25 fps, but first: - Idk if my poor entry level VRMs can handle a 5800x3D - Board is PCIe 3.0 and is bottlenecking my SSD and GPU - 5800x3D costs as much as an entry level board and intel i5 13500 Should I just get a new board and CPU? Are there other less pricey ways to upgrade? I built this system new in 2019 so it's due for an upgrade. I just can't afford much atm. Specs of what I have are as follows: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M Ryzen 5 2600 w/ Hyper 212 Black Cooler 16GB 3200 MT/s Ram DDR4 RTX 3070 Founder Edition EVGA 600 BR Power Supply WD_Black SN770 1TB I'm not against using DLSS, but I do like playing in high refresh rate on my Samsung G8 3440 x 1440 175hz OLED

Budget (including currency): 400-700 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, Streaming (Twitch, YouTube, etc etc), Streaming (services like Netflix, Prime, Pureflix to get my Bible man nostalgia fix) 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 wanna play at 1440p if possible, and I think due to my old CPU or Mobo, I'm bottlenecking games if I go to high 1080p or medium 1440p on some games (and then some games like Alan Wake 2 are borderline unplayable due to using an HDD), COD lags at anything that isn't 1080p low. I'm using my TV whenever my PC is in my room, or two old DVI monitors whenever fiance and best friend wanna play Diablo 3 (I have HDMI to DVI and it works well) (Currently out and about so if there's generic information it'll be updated when I'm home) Current CPU: Ryzen 2600 Current Ram Amount and speed: 32 GB 3200 MZH Mobo: A320M GPU: RX6600 8gb PSU: 800Watt modular80+gold (I forgot the exact one, will update when home) Storage: 500gb m.2, 2tb 5000rpm HDD I know for a fact I need a Mobo and CPU upgrade, potentially storage if I wanna play Alan Wake II on my PC instead of using my fiance's. I just don't know if I wanna remain AMD or switch to Intel, and if I need to upgrade my storage or just keep deleting games when done to make room for new ones when I play them. Any advice? Obviously I'm not going "haha upgrade for me!" I like to get suggestions from others and go from there. (it's how I built my first PC. Other than my case that was given to me, every part was purchased after my own research and suggestions from friends/family) Oh, I also am currently air cooled, I forgot which air cooler (I can find it when I'm home), should I keep being air cooled or no? (It really hasn't been a problem, I don't keep my side panel on, I'm more asking performance wise) I don't plan to overclock manually (except enabling xmp which is technically an overclock).

I haven't upgraded the PC in a couple of years and it's due. This area is not my specialty so I was looking for some advice. The GPU is at the top of my list along with a new monitor. What else should I look at? Nvidia GTX 1080 GPU AMD Ryzen 7 1700 Eight-Core Processor 16.0GB Single-Channel DDR4 RAM Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. AB350M-DS3H-CF (AM4) Motherboard 931GB Western Digital WDC WDS100T2B0A-00SM50 (SATA SSD) Drive The SSD card was my most recent upgrade, I plan to put in an RTX 4070 along with a new monitor to go with it of course. What else should I think about upgrading for better gaming performance?

Budget (including currency): £1200 Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games like Cyberpunk 2077, Fallout heavily modded, mainly single player games (mostly rpg or open world) and future upcoming game.. Hi guys, I am currently using a 1440p monitor so I could get the 144hz but I have backed out a LOT from fps gaming and mostly play single player games. CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 GPU: RTX 4080 Motherboard: MPG X570 GAMING PLUS PSU: Corsair RM750x RAM: 16gb 3600 CHIPSET: AM4 Monitor I'm buying: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B091JJC84Y/?coliid=I7ZG77A2IM6C9&colid=GXI4IRUVER9W&psc=1&ref_=list_c_wl_lv_ov_lig_dp_it I'm going for 31", as this will be the max sized monitor for my room. Small room. I need a new CPU for 4K gaming. Any recommendations? And will I need a PSU upgrade aswell? Yes! I know my GPU is bottlenecked by the 3600. I was saving up money!! after 2 years I finally saved enough for an upgrade!!! Had this rig for years!! Thanks!!

I was wondering what you think i should upgrade as i want to try doing some stuff myself as i watch so many videos of people doing it and would love to participate! (and black Friday and cyber Monday are coming up), in addition i would also like to change my pc case to a white one, if anyone has any suggestions? (that will fit my computer) back in 2021 I bought a prebuilt origin pc from best buy this is what i bought HP OMEN - 30L Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 5600G - 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 1TB SSD - Shadow Black here are the things inside Processor Model AMD Ryzen 5 5000 Series Storage Type SSD Total Storage Capacity 1000 gigabytes System Memory (RAM) 16 gigabytes Graphics Type Dedicated Graphics NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 I use my pc for editing video, and playing video games. the games i love are - hades - valorant - muse dash and occasionally red redemption or gta

Budget (including currency): I don't have an exact number yet, but the current parts I'm looking at add up to about 4-500 USD at the time of posting, might shoot for under 600 USD Country: USA, Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: Livestraming and school mostly, I'm looking to stream Minecraft with shaders and with vivecraft occasionally (if that mod doesn't hard crash my PC) but have been looking into streaming phasmophopia, No Man's Sky, and Bone lab when I get the last one. but my network is only good enough to do it at 720p for output to both Twitch and Youtube with current encoding capability(I'm still using VDSL from AT&T XD) 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 currently have an r5 3600x for a CPU, rx5600xt for a GPU, and 16GB of DDR4 & 3200 MHz on an MSI b450 a pro max motherboard (so up to 5th gen ryzen should work here). I have all the needed peripherals as is. I usually play at 1080p but I also use Immersed for 2 extra 1440p monitors that only I can see. (I might get a dummy plug to replace my current monitor TBH, I always leave my tower on) I'm currently looking at an r7 5700x, which was 178 USD when I posted this, a rx7600xt that is renewed for about 300 USD, and a 700W PSU which is about 90 USD. I'm not too sure about the GPU yet because I want something with AV1 encoding to get a better stream output, but most of those cards are from Intel which I don't think work for SteamVR yet, and I know that a multi-GPU setup might be feasible, but that isn't supported by virtual desktop, what I use for VR, at all, so it'll probably need to be an AMD or Nvidia card. The buying timeframe will probably vary by part, but it will probably be before December 7th feel free to recommend a different CPU if need be, as my current one holds up pretty well with the stock cooler till I stress test it with prime95.

Current Specs: i5-9400 GTX 1650 Super 4GB VRAM 24GB 2666MHz DDR4 Ram (3x 8GB) Gigabyte B365M DS3H Mobo EVGA 500w PSU 2x 500GB Samsung SSD (An 860 EVO and 870 EVO) I suppose these are the main components in my PC, my question is if I should upgrade any of these? At the moment I play games like Valorant, MK1, OW2 and fortunately my PC can run these games at the framerate I'd like them to (I play in 1080p). In terms of my specs, what should I upgrade if I'm looking to get a boost in fps in the games mentioned or any similar games. To better clarify the question: What would you upgrade in this PC?

Hello, fellow nerds! I have a pair of Astro A40trs collecting dust, bought them for random use on ebay for like $35, and I have another pair with a MixAmp. Has anyone ever tore these down and modded them? like new drivers, improved sealing and insulation, updated mobos...etc. I personally love the design and I love to make items truly "mine", maybe it's nostaligia since the original A40s were the god tier when I got into PC gaming and getting my own stuff and following gaming influencers like Seananners and Machinima then Mr Sark and so on. Would love some experiences, thoughts, assistance on this!!!

Budget (including currency): Soft $700-800ish for this round Country: USD Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: casual gamming, sometimes work with some python ML libs id like to start utilizing some libraries that use the GPU, often multitasking, sometimes watching/gaming while having and IDE open with way to many chrome tabs. Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): After my most recent round of upgrades (gpu, monitors, another round of ram, another ssd) def starting to feel the age on the MOBO and CPU, Im thinking id like to upgrade those and then later this year spring for a 4070ti (open to suggestions if a 3080 is more bang for the buck, obviously that budget would be separate) and run both gcards. I def would need a new MOBO to run the dual GPUs since I only have the one slot, it also just seems like its time for a CPU upgrade. Def want a MOBO with 2 m.2 drives and at least 2 PCI slots for GPUs and generally better I/O options. From what Im gathering from testing/ reading /researching the CPU/MOBO are the real bottlenecks here anyway. Does not seem like I can get a decent upgrade path with getting a MOBO, overclocking the CPU for a bit and then later getting a new CPU with the same socket, seems like the better option is to find a new combo. Im also not opposed to a new case either since mine is kinda meh and the window is all scratched up but that can be over budget or later upgrade as well and recommendations for cases I feel comes down to preference, but I am open to checking out a beloved case. The gpu was an upgrade earlier this year since I was still on the 1060, realized 30 series should finally be more affordable with the 40 series release (they dropped like 50-60$ a few weeks after buying my 3060) :*( ... but then caught the upgrading bug and opened up the floodgates... now I feel like the card occasionally struggles with the x3 2K monitors...

The sound quality is MUCH better than before but it seems to kind of lag a bit so im open to returning it in exchange for better options. Original case/setup: (IE power supply, case, HDD, SSD, cooling) (I did replace the fans with some RGBs but I lost the remote and they are stuck on purple) CYBERPOWERPC BattleBox Essential GLC4200A Gaming PC (Intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz, NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, 120GB SSD, WiFi, Liquid Cool & Win10), Black https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-BattleBox-Essential-GLC4200A-i7-7700K/dp/B01MRYJG25/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 So I still have the cooling that came in the bundle as well so I realize I may need to revamp that as well soft budget though and Im willing to consider suggestions Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions!

I currently have a ryzen 3 3100 paired with my rx 6700 xt and my cpu is not the best for streaming. I was looking at getting the ryzen 7 5800x but I wanted to know if there was a better cpu in that general price range for am4. Thanks!

Hi, I have been comparing gpus again and I noticed my asus rog strix 1070ti selling from $800 to $1700 lately. Question is why, I could sell this and buy a 2070, or better and upgrade my lga1155 board plus cpu. Should I ? What am I missing here.

hello everybody my name is Justin I am new to the forum. I am looking to upgrade my GPU to most likely a 3080 but i don't think it will fit in my case with the nzxt radiator in front. i know the founders edition (about 11 inches) are the smaller cards compared to the oc 3 fan cards. I literally have 11 inches from the back of the GPU to touching the radiator. i wanted to get the asus tuff 3080 to go with my mobo but it def wont fit in my case, unless i mount the radiator up top but i don't really like the idea of having it as an exhaust blowing hot air out instead of cool air in towards radiator. does anybody have this case with a 3080? maybe thinking about buying a whole new case but this is my second one since i broke the tempered glass on my first one :/ thank you guys for any help. amd ryzen 7 3700x msi rtx 2070 super asus tuf x570 plus wifi nzxt kraken z63 4x8gb (32g) ddr4 corsair vengance ram 3200mhz ssd intel 1 tb hdd seagate barracuda 1tb psu corsair 650 gold plus case corsair icue 220t airflow

Recommendations on upgrading tower Budget (including currency): in USD, Budget depends on upgrade, but it would be nice to keep it around 300-350ish... I know GPUs and pretty much everything else is pricey right now… Might be willing to spend more depending on the upgrade. Country: USA Games, programs, or workloads that it will be used for: Datascience, Web development, SQL, and of course Games, mostly strategy titles (Paradox studios) with some casual Splitgate at the moment but the game list changes over time… have be thinking of trying Star Citizen or Elden Ring Future uses I’d like to explore: Unity Development, Artificial Intelligence topics, always working on learning more tech tools, like new software and frameworks 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): So, I’m a CS grad and novice developer and have been taking some data science courses online, I’m over halfway through and interviewing for positions at some local software companies. If I land an offer Id like to make an upgrade to celebrate, leaning towards new/more RAM or another SSD for daily games, and dev tools since mine is full. I like a wide array of gamming and hope to eventually teach myself some game development suites such as Unreal or Unity. When I started my degree in 2017 I got the old (prices for GPUs where high from crypto and I needed something quick for classes… crazy that parsing out everything it would cost more now to rebuild my rig from scratch): CYBERPOWERPC BattleBox Essential GLC4200A Gaming PC (Intel i7-7700K 4.2GHz, NVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB, 16GB RAM, 2TB HDD, 120GB SSD, WiFi, Liquid Cool & Win10), Black https://www.amazon.com/CYBERPOWERPC-BattleBox-Essential-GLC4200A-i7-7700K/dp/B01MRYJG25/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I eventually got myself a monitor that I use in addition to a decent Toshiba TV from 2014: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09JGKC3NY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Ive been fairly happy with it over the years but I feel it definitely start to lag with some games and multitasking with too many chrome tabs open as of late, also I don’t believe title A games run on max settings anymore but tbh I do not play that many title A stuff. I did have to replace the original Fans since they ones that came with it died one day. I spent some time trying to figure out all the parts divided up on pcpartpicker just out of curiosity to see how much it would cost to rebuild today (very surprised since it was more than I paid for it but some prices are estimated from ebay listings and some of the parts are approximations ect).

TLDR: Anyways what are some recommendations for upgrades. Im leaning to either more RAM+RGB and/or another SSD since mine is full and it would be nice to have some space for a Linux partition and more dev tools as well games im currently playing (although I have space on the Toshiba drive). Also, would eventually like another monitor that can be in portrait mode for reading code with a decent mount/stand. I thought briefly about getting a different motherboard since mine has no expansion slots, but that upgrade can be the most time consuming (I then of course thought about getting a new CPU while im at it).
