Current build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xTxrMV
After saving up some money I finally decided to build my own computer since my current one has become too old
I would like to mencion that I have never built a PC and I have no experience and no idea, but I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that I built my own compiuter. After deciding and ordering all the components I'll watch a lot of YT tutorials.
Thanks you in advance if you decide to help me out.
Hello, my gaming laptop is overheating so I decided it's time to build a pc, but I don't know what I'm doing so I am here to ask for help.
New Build
I want to keep my current monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming 24” (23.6 inch viewable) Curved Monitor (VG24VQER) – FHD, 180Hz, 1ms ...: Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXS73LRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
Primarily competitive gaming with games like: Apex, Valorant, Halo Infinite, and other graphic intensive games like Baldur's Gate 3, (I want to be able to play new releases without my PC overheating, like my current laptop does).
USA, Michigan. Yes, there is a Micro Center I can go to.
Although I said I would like to keep my current monitor, I do want a second opinion on my current monitor, and perhaps 1-2 other monitors to consider. Thank you.
$1,800 - $2,500 A big range I know, I just haven't looked into buying PC parts in over 5 years and don't know how much prices have changed.
Primarily WiFi with the option for ethernet.
No size or noise constraints, the primary objective being performance/speed/etc.
Nothing bombastic, just a simple neutral color with a sleek, minimalist look would be cool.
I would like at least 2TB+ storage and 32GB RAM. How much more would it be for 64GB of RAM? Does 64GB RAM fit my budget?
Hello everyone,
I made a few previous posts, read through a lot of the replies, did more research, compared suggestions, & tried to compile everything into one cleaner post so people can hopefully point me in the right direction.
I’ve finally saved enough money to buy my dream gaming PC, & I really want to make the smartest decision possible before spending this kind of money.
I’m not amazing with upgrading / swapping parts later, so I’d rather buy something strong now that lasts several years. I also assume good WiFi & decent onboard audio quality matter, since I listen to a lot of music.
Most common recommendation:
Seems like everyone agrees this is one of the best gaming CPUs available, especially for MMOs.

I really appreciate everyone who helped on the previous posts. I don’t have many tech people around me in real life, so Reddit has honestly been my best source of guidance here.
Thank you again for helping me spend my hard-earned money responsibly... or irresponsibly, depending on the GPU you recommend.

I’ve been reading up on building pcs for a few months now, I honestly still feel a bit lost with the whole process but I’m trying to learn more. I’m looking to build my own pc for the first time, I use my pc mainly for gaming. The issue with my current pc is that it doesn’t have the specs to run games well especially when it comes to graphics. It’s also an old pc that was handed down to me. Im looking for something that can handle games with high graphics requirements and can run them smoothly with minimal worry of crashing. I play games like RDR2, prehistoric kingdom, fallout 4, JWE and others. I do use mods on a few of my games. My biggest issue with my current pc is I can’t run games like RDR2 or PK without having the graphics set to “low” or else the games just lag & crash. I don’t want to have to constantly worry about turning all the graphics down on every single game.
I may possibly wait till the price of RAM drops a bit but I want to have a plan set in place. Thank you.

My 9-year-old PC is running out of Windows 10 updates. As per pc Health checkup, TMP 2.0 doesn't support my current processor, AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-core, which doesn't support Windows 11. I have 32 GB RAM & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. Back when I was a architectural student, I assembled this PC. Now I am looking to upgrade this for professional and gaming use. I need suggestions for hardware & graphics upgrade. Is there a possibility to swap and upgrade the processor without replacing the whole PC?
Hi, it's my first time posting here, and apologies in advanced if I'm breaking any rules.
I'm looking to get a new custom PC built for WFH & gaming, and I'm looking for advice from the tech gods.
My work bases around 2D & 3D rendering & sim, and requires high performing CPU, Lots of RAM, and well performing GPU.
My current PC was built back in 2020, and it hasn't been performing as I need it to be for my work lately.
I'm looking to transfer my Storages (only) from this PC to the new PC, as all the other parts won't be compatible / competent.
I did my due diligence and tried to put together a parts list of what I'm looking for with my limited knowledge, but I'd really appreciate your input.
The things I need for certain : CPU (R9 9950x3d), GPU(rtx5080) & RAM(98gb+). Would love for any feedback on suggestions on other parts, and/or possible compatibility issues.
Thank you so much in advance.

Hello! I am looking for the title exactly, if you don't know, ASA is a graphical nightmare, requiring a premium graphics card to have decent graphics at all. I am looking for as premium an upgrade I can get in my budget so I can run the game on 1080p 60fps or as close to it as I can get. the game is insanely texture heavy, morso than a lot of AAA games released today. it is especially intensive it seems on my vram. the 16 GB sticks seem fine, capping at about 80%

i already have both of the pc cases but i cant decide on which motherboard to use and which of the two cases the rest of the build will stay as it is
any helps
New build or upgrade?
New build. It would be my first time building a computer, and it seems cheaper this way ?
Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
My current PC is from around 2016, when the GTX 1070 was released haha, so it is getting old now. I may keep nothing if a full new setup makes more sense.
PC purpose?
Mainly gaming, especially League of Legends with ideally stable 240+ FPS. I would also like to play some more demanding games from time to time, but LoL is clearly the priority.
I will also use the monitor a lot for office work/studying, watching videos, working from home, and preparing for an exam/competitive test.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
France. No Micro Center.
Monitors needed?
Yes, 1 monitor. I want something good for both competitive gaming and long work sessions.
Budget range?
Around €1300 to €2000 total depending on interesting deals/opportunities. I would like to keep the setup for many years without problems.
WiFi or wired connection?
Mainly wired, but WiFi would be a plus.
Size/noise constraints?
No special size constraints. I would prefer something reasonably quiet.
Color/lighting preferences?
No strong preference. I do not really care about RGB.
Any other specific needs?
My main goal is LoL at stable 240+ FPS if possible, while still having a monitor that is comfortable for a lot of productivity use.
Hi everyone,
I’m French, so sorry if my English is not perfect.
I do not really know which websites or communities are the best to ask for this kind of advice, but this one looked big and friendly, so I thought I would ask here.
My current PC is getting old now, and I would like to buy something durable that I can keep for years. My main priority is League of Legends, but I also care a lot about monitor comfort because I will use it heavily for work and studying at home.
Thanks a lot.
New build or upgrade?
New
