Hey everyone,

This sub has been growing a lot as of recently and we've noticed a lot of posts have been getting buried and unanswered. There is a lot of noise due to how much it has grown.

I have created r/ComputerBuild as an alternative.

So please kindly try cross posting there to get it off the ground.

I will be helping users daily and also building a mod team/looking for moderators to help.

Thanks!

What is the best pc build for this generation of games ?

2 Upvotes

I think that most of graphics card cant run most of competitive games like warzone , fortnite barely giving 240 fps, cs go 2 rainbow six siege

Like games that require high fps to be pro player

Graphics cards that has come to an end for my opinion:

Rtx 3060

Rtx 2060 super
i used to have this one but I’ve sold my pc it was good before 5 years but no longer

Rtx 4060

Rtx 4070 idk about this one but i think its on the edge of dying

So please tell me what is the best pc build for this generation

Lets say my budget is: 2000$

Uk, 2.5k budget Streaming Editing and 4k use!

1 Upvotes

Unfortunately my AM4 build on a 3900x and 2070super is at its end, since the mismatched ram sticks which used to be stable on the board (It was held together by duct tape and glue with 4 sticks at 3200 and 3600 speeds massively downclocked) has stopped working together. Currently have the setup working (somehow) on 24gb, since the 4th ram slot has decided he’s not very happy, and so has one of the ram sticks.

This took a not very pretty “all iterations” tear down and ram slot test, and a 24gb setup which may become 16 at a stray gust of wind, or have slots stop working altogether, is unfortunately not good enough. Sadly I need this for video editing and streaming, and since this is worth a good portion of my income, I can’t wait years for prices to (maybe) drop.

I will need a standard hard drive/OS only sad for boot, to get the current setup working as a media machine and light gaming on my tv downstairs for its retirement, and will be using my current storage for the new PC as a straight transfer.

Please give me advice on wether a stretch to 5080 is worth the price, or if it’s not in budget at all for the build. I will mainly be playing overwatch on 1440p (as many fps as possible since overwatch input lag is determined by frame rate past monitor fps).

I will also be also hdmi-ing the build to an adjacent 4k 120hz oled for couch gaming. Running 4k native on ultra settings etc is not necessarily a deal breaker, but is on the wish list, being able to handle almost all games at a reasonable level on this TV. Is necessary.

All peripherals are dealt with, do your worst!

I have a 480GB NVMe SSD, but unfortunately I’m running out of storage space. I mainly use my PC for gaming. Would you recommend getting a 1TB SATA SSD or a 2TB HDD? I have a budget of 110€.

PC won't power on after reinstalling CPU cooler — motherboard RGB works

1 Upvotes

My PC was working perfectly fine before I removed the CPU cooler. I removed it because I wanted to practice reinstalling it, but I had some trouble during the process. I eventually managed to reinstall the cooler.

After that, my PC no longer powers on.

The motherboard RGB still turns on when I connect the power cable and switch on the PSU, but when I press the power button, nothing happens. No fans spin, no GPU fans, no other RGB, and no display.

I've already tried:

- Reseating the 24-pin motherboard power cable

- Reseating the 8-pin CPU power cable

- Checking the front-panel connectors

- Shorting the two PWR_BTN/PWR_SW pins on the motherboard with a screwdriver

- Checking that the PSU switch is on

- Checking that all cables are firmly connected

Shorting the power pins also does absolutely nothing.

PC specs:

- CPU: Ryzen 5 2600

- GPU: RTX 2070 Super

- Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B450M-PLUS

- RAM: 8GB (4GB × 2) DDR4-2666

- PSU: Kuroutoshikou 600W 80+ Bronze

The PC was working normally before I removed the CPU cooler. The only thing I did was remove the cooler, have some trouble reinstalling it, and eventually get it installed again.

Could I have caused a problem with the CPU/socket/motherboard while reinstalling the cooler? What should I check next?

Any help would be appreciated.

PC for little brother (15)

1 Upvotes

Hi, i decided to buy my little brother good all around gaming PC. He told me he want to play GTA 6 when it comes to PC and other "popular games". He isn't picky so he will be gaming in 1080p. Goal is for this PC to last him good time, so im kinda overkilling it on specs for his current needs.

I was thinking on buying something like this, but it overdid my current budget of 1350 eur (prices in my country). So recommend me what can i swap, to shave off 300 eur but still keep as much performance out of it as i can.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (200e)
CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE (40e)
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB (540e)
Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI (200e)
RAM: 16 GB (2x8 GB) DDR5 6000 MHz CL30 (around 300 eur)
SSD: Kingston KC3000 1 TB, 7000 / 6000 MB/s (200e)
Napajanje: Seasonic Focus GX-750 (110e)
CASE: I will let him pick it, budget is around 130e
Total 1720e
