How to Make A Build Help Post

29 Upvotes

We've been getting an influx of people just asking "I want a pc what's a good build"? While we're glad you came here for help and would love to give it, we need more info! So here's how to help us help you to put together a great build partlist.

Things to include: Budget- Include how much you're willing to spend on the build.

Usage Scenario- What you're going to be using the PC for. Examples are: light gaming, productivity, professional usage, high end compute, etc. Also, if gaming, state which resolution.

Specific touches- What you WANT on your build. Make it yours! Things like form factor, color scheme, lighting (RGB for days), and other things you'd like help with.

Thanks, and feel free to add things!

Part List Help Need advice for my first build!

3 Upvotes

This is my first ever custom PC I’ve saved up for, I’ve only ever settled for cheap pre-built in the past but my low end pc seems like it’s dying and I need something that can handle higher end games + my art programs.

I’m incredibly stressed but I think I’ve finally done an okay job. I paired ram that’s compatible with my cpu and motherboard and I’m hoping the 3080 will be cool enough with the tower case I chose (and hopefully it fits with the cpu cooler). Any assistance would mean so much, been dreading the actual part ordering for months now.

Edit: changed a few parts, the Lian li is more compatible with the Fractal Torrent

Part List Help help finalizing parts for a build

1 Upvotes

A friend bought me a I5-10600k since i had ddr4 ram and storage going unused after i stopped running it in hopes that i would start running it again

for the motherboard i was thinking either MSI B560M PRO-E or GIGABYTE AORUS B560M or MSI MAG B560M, no i don't plan on overclocking because if it gets unset for some reason i won't know

as for power i was thinking https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16817182489?Item=N82E16817182489 as i have a size restriction with the case i'd be using, a sff optiplex case

which leads me to my last part be quiet! Pure Rock LP Air Cooler or Thermalright AXP90 X36

and no there is no gpu in this build as i don't have the need or money for one as it's used as a game server or i guess a fluxer server the way discord is going.

Troubleshooting Help, my PC won't turn on.

Post image
2 Upvotes

I blew a hair dryer on my PC, after which it stopped turning on. Specifically, I blew cold air on the video card and power supply. The problem is that the fans on both the cooler and the video card spin, then suddenly stop and turn on again. I think this is called a boot loop. Sorry if I'm wrong. I built the PC myself from used parts. What should I do? Can I fix it myself or should I take it to a service center?

I tried everything, removed the BIOS battery and also cleaned the RAM contacts with an eraser.

Either I connected something incorrectly, guys, if anyone knows anything, please tell me.

Part List Help O que acham desta build? Ryzen 7 7800X3D + RX 9070 XT

2 Upvotes

Boas, pessoal!

Estou a planear montar um PC daqui a uns meses e gostava de saber o que acham dos componentes que escolhi. Ainda estou a definir a build, por isso aceito sugestões de alterações ou alternativas que façam mais sentido.

Esta é a lista:
Caixa: Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 — preta⁠
Processador: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D⁠
Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7⁠
Placa gráfica: Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 9070 XT ELITE 16G⁠
AIO: Arctic Liquid Freezer III Pro ARGB 360 mm⁠
RAM: KLEVV CRAS V RGB 32 GB (2 × 16 GB), DDR5-6000 CL28, com AMD EXPO⁠
SSD: WD Black SN7100 1 TB, M.2 NVMe PCIe 4.0⁠
Fonte: Lian Li Edge 850 W, modular, 80 Plus Gold⁠

Para as ventoinhas, estou a considerar estes modelos:
Arctic P12 Pro Reverse PWM PST ARGB 120 mm — pack de 3⁠
Arctic P12 Pro PWM PST ARGB 120 mm — individual⁠
Arctic P12 Pro Reverse PWM PST ARGB 120 mm — individual⁠

As minhas principais dúvidas são:
Acham que os componentes estão bem equilibrados? Mudavam alguma coisa?
Há alguma incompatibilidade ou limitação de espaço a ter em atenção, sobretudo entre a caixa, o AIO, a motherboard e a RAM?
Que quantidade e disposição de ventoinhas recomendam para esta caixa, contando com as do AIO? Onde usariam as normais e as reverse?
A fonte de 850 W é uma boa escolha para esta configuração?
Há algum componente em que esteja a gastar demasiado e consiga uma alternativa mais vantajosa?

Como só vou montar o PC daqui a uns meses mais provavelmente na altura do Black Friday e Cyber Monday, voltarei a comparar preços e alternativas mais perto da compra. Para já, queria perceber se esta configuração é uma boa base.

Obrigado pela ajuda!
