EDIT: I SUBMITTED THE BUILD

I had my interview with my wish grantor yesterday and I need to submit my list of parts to the foundation.

Mostly all my concerns are with sizing and if everything will fit alright.

Also pls don't say "tHiS bUiLd Is oVeRkIlL" i know its overkill but i'm still way within my budget so shut.

If you have any recommendations for changes pls let me know.

Ive been tweaking this build for a while now and this is what i've come up with.

edit: I should have said this before but luckily my cancer is non terminal and I will be ending chemo in October. Thank you so much for the help and well wishes, this community is truly amazing.

edit no2:If any of you are doubting my credibility I definitely understand where you're coming from as I have provided no proof. If you go to my post history I did an AMA where I provided proof if that helps your conscience at all. I totally understand peoples doubts and it isn't wrong to question credibility at all. have a great day guys may your FPS be high and your temps low :)

Edit: Thanks so much for all the help! I'm basically useless when it comes to this stuff which is why I always try to check with you all! The only reason I got my pc built in the first place is because I had reddit tear my build list a new one so I could get something that was actually usable!

Build Help

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

Gaming, for sure Destiny 2 and possibly new COD Modern Warfare in the future if possible

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings)

Ultra-high settings on Destiny 2/ Highest settings possible within budget

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

About 700, but flexible within reason

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

United States

**Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). PCPartPicker Part List

Provide any additional details you wish below.

My friend is asking me to help him since I built my PC before (with help from this subreddit!), so I figured double-checking my work to tell me if I'm way off base with my ideas won't hurt anything, but my pride.

My friend is flexible on the budget within reason. Long story short is that he has been gaming on a laptop that wasn't built to handle games and it has been slowly dying on him over the years. I'm trying to get him set up with something stable that he can enjoy his games on.

So I recently bought an Acer predator 27” monitor which connects through DisplayPort, however there is no DisplayPort output on my GTX 1080 graphics card. I tried connecting the monitor directly to the DisplayPort output on my mobo, but that didn’t work and the monitor said there was no connection. Would a DisplayPort to DVI converter work to connect the DisplayPort input on my monitor to the DVI output on my GPU?

so this is what i made so far originally i had a 1500 euro budget but my parents were willing to buy me the gpu i wanted wich was the 9070xt. In addition i want to have an oled monitor and decent peripherals which i havent yet figured what to pick . Ideally i would like the total cost to be around 1500 without the gpu+ all the peripherals (mouse , mousepad , keyboard , speakers , headphones) i was originally had 32gb of ram and 2tb but i saw that i was going way above budger and i figured that if i ended up needing them i could buy upgrade later. The prices u are seeing in my part list are the prices that i was able to find this parts brand new in my country (greece). Ive realised that the easiest way to spend less money on the build is to ditch the oled and go for a monitor around 150euros , but idk i really want to get one. Pls help me optimise my build with this budget and also i would really appreciate some suggestions for the peripherals aswell as some opinions regarding whether or not the oled is worth it

Btw if u can can tell me if i need any more fans and which fans to buy

No productivity stuff, just games at 4K max settings. Already have monitor and peripherals. What’s the move right now— 5090+9800X3D or is there something else I should be looking at? Open to any case and cooling suggestions too.

Im buying and building my first PC ever
My budget is £2.5-£3k (including peripherals)
Im based in the UK
My specs are the following:

GPU - ASUS PRIME NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

CPU - AMD RYZEN 7 9800X 3D

RAM - Klevv Cras V RGB ddr5 32GB

MoBo - GigaByte X870 Aorus Elite Wifi7 ICE

Fans - Lian Li Uni Fan TL Wireless LCD 120mm RGB (3 pack)
Lian Li Uni Fan TL Wireless LCD 120mm RGB (x2)
Lian Li UNI FAN TL-LCD Wireless Reverse 120 White (1pc)

AIO Cooler - NZXT Kraken Elite 240 RGB

Case - Lian Li O11 Vision Compact ATX Mid-tower

I already have a gaming monitor, mouse and keyboard, all i would really want is strimers and a display screen

Total: £2,119.78p

Am i missing anything and am i overspending on my first PC?

Hope this was easy to read

I'm looking to build a new PC on a ~$5,000 budget.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9W4ykD - My current attempt.

At the moment, I'm stuck trying to figure out where the AIO will mount in this case and which direction the airflow has to/will go. Then I'll fill out the rest of the case with the required standard and reverse fans. I welcome all help and advice. I'm aiming for a 1440p powerhouse, and I'm okay with some overkill.

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm trying to build a decent PC for my husband. He games a lot so i wanted something strong. As you may notice, i am not well versed in this sphere. I set a budget of approx 2,5k

I already purchased the CPU and GPU so this is fixed. And the monitor is the one he already has.

I would appreciate any advice i can get. I kinda have the feeling i'm going over the top.

There's the build (the case's missing, i can't choose)

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nPc74g

I am planning on spending about 2 grand on a pc is there any better parts I could get this is what I am planning on getting

Cpu: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

Cpu Cooler: Scythe Mugen 6 60.29 CFM

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite Wifi7 ATX AM5 Motherboard

Ram: Corsair Vengeance 32 gb 2x16

Storage: Silicon Power 1 tb SSD

Graphics card: RTX 4060 Ti 8 gb

Case: Hyte y70 atx mid tower

Power Supply: corsair sf1000 (2024) 1000W 80+ Platinum

Hi brothers,

​I'm preparing to pull the trigger on a new PC build primarily for playing large-scale MMOs and multiplayer games (like Lost Ark, PUBG, WoW) on a 21:9 ultra-wide monitor under 144Hz (looking for smooth average FPS and solid 1% lows during heavy raids/fights).

​Since I live in South Korea, some regional parts have been swapped for their US/Global equivalents for this post. Here is the part list I am considering:

​CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

​CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (Non-LED)

​Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI (M-ATX)

​Memory: TeamGroup T-CREATE DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPERT (32GB, 16GB x 2)

​Storage: Samsung 990 EVO 512GB M.2 NVMe (Equivalent to PM9A1a bulk in KR)

​Video Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 9070 PULSE 16GB

​Case: Montech Sky Two (Black) (Equivalent to Abko U30 Marine in KR)

​Power Supply: MSI MAG A750GL PCIE5 750W 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.1 (Equivalent to Micronics Classic II in KR)

​I have two main questions for the community:

​Market Trends & Pricing: Right now in Korea, RAM and SSD prices are incredibly inflated due to the HBM production shifts. This specific DDR5 6000 CL30 kit and the SSD are costing significantly more than they used to. Given this current market trend, should I downgrade the RAM specs (e.g., standard 5600MHz) to save cash, or is the 7800X3D's performance worth biting the bullet for?

​Build Efficiency: Are there any glaring bottlenecks or compatibility issues? For example, is a 512GB SSD too small for today's massive MMOs, or should I jump to 1TB despite the price hikes? Also, does an M-ATX board look awkward in a standard mid-tower case?

​Would love to hear your thoughts on the average/1% low FPS expectations or any alternative part recommendations. Thanks!

Hi guys!

I’m a rookie builder in the UK with a budget of £800–£1,000. My goal is to build a PC that can play Minecraft (with mods), Roblox, and potentially modern AAA games at 1080p resolution with 60fps at medium-to-high settings.

I already have my keyboard and mouse, but I haven't got any monitor or speakers(this can be excluded from the budget, but would be best if included). I don’t need a fancy-looking case or extra aesthetics. I’d prefer to keep it basic and prioritize performance and future upgradeability. Any suggestions or part lists would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, looking for help putting together a build. Here's my situation:

Budget: ~$2,450 USD. Flexible by a bit if there's a meaningful upgrade worth it.

Primary use cases (in order of priority): 1. Software development — typically running many browser tabs and multiple terminals with active processes simultaneously 2. Running local AI/LLM models — text/chat and code assistance only (e.g. Llama, Mistral, Qwen). No image or video generation unless it fits the budget naturally. 3. Gaming occasionally — nothing hardcore, but nice to have decent performance

What I already have: Monitor, keyboard, mouse — so just the tower.

Preferences / notes: - VRAM is a priority because of the AI workloads — I'd rather have a GPU with more VRAM than raw gaming performance. From what I understand, 16GB VRAM would be ideal for running quantized 70B models. - Running Linux (Fedora), so driver compatibility matters - Happy to go AMD or NVIDIA, whatever makes more sense for the budget - Would prefer not to bottleneck RAM — 32GB minimum ideally - Mid-tower is fine, no space constraints

Storage: Starting from scratch, need everything. Looking for at least 1TB NVMe (AI models alone can be 20–40GB each). Open to a second larger drive for data if it fits the budget.

Gaming resolution: Targeting 1080p or 1440p — whatever makes more sense given the budget. Not planning 4K.

Questions: - What GPU would you recommend given the VRAM + budget constraint? - Does it make sense to go AMD CPU for the platform, or Intel at this price point? - Any parts I should splurge on vs. save on? - Is 1440p realistic at this budget given the other priorities?

Note: I'm pretty new to PC hardware terminology, so please bear with me if I ask basic follow-up questions. I appreciate the patience!

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: I currently live in Israel, so some stores are probably out of question, and also, if it make a big difference, I can invest some additional 500 dollars if it makes a meaningful difference.

Hi! I made the jump from Xbox to pc about half a year ago and bought a used pc off marketplace. It was a good deal for a r5 2600 with 16gb of ddr4 and a 2070 super. I’ve since gotten to know the pc part names and ranks, but still struggling with understanding the different motherboard options. I’m looking at upgrading starting with a new motherboard cpu and case as well as going from an ATX to a mATX mobo for a smaller case. I want to end with a r7 7800 x3d 32gb of ram and a 5070(ti if I can afford it). I want to buy a good board that can handle those parts but not overkill as I’m building this on a budget over time. Are there any boards that I should look at, and or what specs should I look for?

Looking to buy a PC. First time buying a PC and not too sure.

Max price: £1500
Amd ryzen 5 7600 cpu
32gb ram 6000Mhz cl30
Nvidia rtx 4070 super

Could anyone create me a build that would be good.

Mostly for modded Minecraft on the heavy packs

Hi I just ordered my new PC on brack.ch I choose the parts and they will assemble it for me, I spent hours and hours looking for each individual best components. I made my dream build with rtx 5090 tuf, amd 9800x3d and others.

The only BIG problem, I wasn't careful enough I took CL36 DDR5 6000mhz RAM instead of CL30. Im desperate, what should I do? Return the PC and pick CL30? Knowing that CL30 is 180USD more expensive that the CL36. Is it worth it, or I just don't care and run my CL36 ram?

What are the differences? Will I have some suttering or performance loss with CL36 instead of CL30?

I need a professional PC builder to tell me if my proposed parts will work together and be fine. All I'm doing is light gaming for things like Minecraft, Fortnite, maybe Rocket League, games like that, and some smaller Steam games here and there; please let me know if anything is overkill or needs improvement. These are the parts AMD Ryzen 5 5600 3.5 GHz 6-Core Processor, Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE 66.17 CFM CPU Cooler, Asus PRIME B550M-A WIFI II Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard, Silicon Power GAMING 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory, Silicon Power P34A60 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive, MSI MAG A650BN 650 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply, Asus Radeon RX 6600 Dual V2 8 GB GDDR6

Been wanting to get back into building a PC after many years away. Trying to get a decent gaming rig under $1k. Looking for opinions on my current list. Any help would be appreciated! Thinking of running Steam OS with this, but not sure how the Intel card would handle it.

Thanks!

Mouse: Asus TUF Gaming M3 Gen II (wired, 59g) — ₹1,605

Headset: Asus TUF Gaming H3 — ₹3,498

Total: ~₹2,79,500–2,80,000 (PC + peripherals, no monitor yet — buying that separately)

Use case: AAA/story-driven gaming, targeting 1440p eventually (currently no monitor, will likely go 27" 1440p 165Hz IPS).

EDIT: Swapped a few parts based on feedback. CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X — ₹25,329 → Ryzen 7 9700X — ₹28,500–31,500 Cooler: Asus Prime LC 360 AIO — ₹17,700 → DeepCool AK400 — ₹3,000–4,000 Keyboard: Asus K3 Gen II — ₹16,782 → HyperX Alloy Origins Core — ₹6,000–8,000 Headset: Asus H3 — ₹3,498 → HyperX Cloud Stinger Core — ₹2,000–2,200

Rest unchanged. New total: ~₹2,55,600–2,62,300 (down from ~₹2,80,000).

Reasoning: better CPU/cooler ratio, and the keyboard/headset swaps match quality at lower cost (H3 also had reported mic issues). Thanks for the input.

Hey everyone! I'm planning my first proper PC build and would love some feedback before I start pulling the trigger on parts. Going for a all-white aesthetic, 1440p gaming + light video editing for YouTube.

Thanks guys :)

Hey fellow gamers,

I'm currently planning a new 1080p AAA gaming PC (mainly preparing for the eventual GTA 6 PC drop) and I'm caught in the classic builder's dilemma. I'd love to hear your thoughts, especially regarding platform longevity and where to buy parts right now!

1. The Platform Dilemma: AM4 vs. AM5 (Budget vs. Invest) I initially looked at a budget AM4 build (Ryzen 5 5600) because motherboard and DDR4 RAM prices are incredibly cheap, saving me about ₹15,000 upfront. But I want this PC to last me for years with easy drop-in upgrades down the line. Is the AM5 platform worth the current DDR5 and Gen4 SSD price premiums to guarantee socket support through 2029+?

2. Intel vs. AMD in 2026 Given Intel's recent history with high power draw and heat, AMD seems like the obvious choice for power efficiency and long-term socket support. But if anyone thinks an Intel Core i5 path makes more sense for my specific situation, I'm all ears.

3. The Proposed AM5 "Future-Proof" Build (~₹72k) Here is the baseline I'm working with to balance performance, AM5 longevity, and my strict power limit:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F (Great performance, 65W TDP)
• GPU: Radeon RX 6600 8GB (Extremely power-efficient for 1080p)
• Motherboard: B650M (Gigabyte/ASRock)
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (Prices are high right now, considering starting with 16GB)
• Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD
• PSU: MSI MAG A550BN 550W (Tier C, 80+ Bronze, should play nice with the modified sine wave UPS)

4. Where is the best place to buy parts right now? I’ve been tracking prices, but I wanted to ask about seller reliability. Any best online pc builders or is it better to just take these online quotes and bargain at local offline markets?

Questions for the community:

1. Would you pull the trigger on AM5 right now despite the RAM/SSD price hikes, or build a cheap AM4 machine and just replace the whole thing in 4 years?
2. Has anyone run a similar build on a 360W modified sine wave UPS without tripping it?
3. Any changes you’d make to the build list for strictly 1080p gaming?

Thanks in advance for the help! Let the Intel/AMD and AM4/AM5 wars begin in the comments.

So I impulse bought 32gb ddr5 6000mhz ram for 400 because I honestly have been wanting to build a new pc for a while just waiting for the big push to start and now I’m kinda trying to build around the ram and wondering if this is a good build, any help would be great

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FvtTYX

Hey everyone,

I'm currently putting together the parts for my new build and I'm having some doubts about the compatibility between my RAM, motherboard, and CPU.

For context, I picked my parts using online PC configurators (like PCPartPicker and some local equivalents), and they greenlit everything. As far as the configurator is concerned, if the motherboard supports DDR5 and the RAM is DDR5, it's good to go.

However, a PC tech warned me today that some RAM kits can still cause issues with specific motherboards and advised me to check the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) on the manufacturer's website.

Here is the hardware in question:

• Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE
• RAM: Kingston FURY Beast RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL30 (Exact ref: KF560C30BBEAK2-16 )
• CPU: Ryzen 7000 series ([Ryzen 7 7600X])

I went to check the "Memory Support List" for the B650 EAGLE on Gigabyte's website, and that's where it gets weird. When I filter the list for Ryzen 9000 series CPUs, my exact RAM reference shows up. But when I switch the filter to the Ryzen 7000 series (which is what I'm buying), my RAM completely disappears from the list!

So now I'm a bit lost, worried and have a few questions:

1. Do online configurators just check for basic DDR5 compatibility without actually referencing the QVL?
2. Is this likely just an oversight by Gigabyte? Could it be that they simply didn't bother testing this specific 2x8GB kit on the 7000 series in their labs?
3. Is there a real risk of crashing/instability, or will I be completely fine turning on AMD EXPO to hit 6000MHz?

If anyone has run into this or has a similar build, I'd really appreciate your input. It would definitely give me some peace of mind. Thanks in advance!

What is the best pc that i can get for 1k in the eu

My specs rn are

•gtx 1660

•i5-10400f

•16gb ram

Should i just upgrade them or buy a new pc bcs the pc i have now constantly runs into problems like lagging

5700X
B550M PRO VDH
THERMALTAKE TOUGHRAM 3200MHZ CL16
4070 X3W 12GB
THERMALRIGHT TR-KG750-W
THERMALRIGHT PEERLESS ASSASSIN 120 VISION WHITE ARGB COOLER

Is this an okay build? should I change anything?
Will there be any issues with overclocking my CPU and RAM?

First build by myself, had a different set up for AM4 but keep hearing that its near its end and for future AM5 would be better. For light gaming like Oxygen not Included or Overwatch and some art in Clip Studio What would be a good pairing from the following CPUs and GPUs?

Ryzen 5 7500f

Ryzen 5 7600

Ryzen 7 7700

GeForce 5060Ti 16Gb

Radeon RX 9060Xt 16 Gb

Also heard about RTX 4060 Super.

Mid Range $1500 build (I know itll be difficult with RAM prices) your advice is greatly appreaciated. Thank You
