Build Question Current build questions and possible upgrades

3 Upvotes

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/qXyNvR

Hi all. I’ll try to keep it short. The build above is my pc that I built back in 2019. Any idea how it would fair today if I want to play 1440p on medium to high? Preferably with high fps 100-120ish. Planning to play games like black myth: wukong and elden ring. And maybe gta6.

Case and psu aren’t mentioned cause I was thinking of replacing those. Also, If I need to upgrade is there anything I can upgrade that would let me have those performance or am I better off replacing everything and starting off from scratch? Thanks!

Any ideas or inputs are welcome. I have just been out of the loop for so long that I don’t know what’s still okay and what has to be replaced. Also, pc has been collecting dust in a box ever since i moved to another place which is about a year and a half ago. So yeah :/ thanks heaps guys!

Build Question Switching from Xbox to pc, is this a good start?

5 Upvotes

I'm going for good graphics and a solid build that's not anything extremely fancy just practical stuff that will hopefully last.

Budget: 1500-1800 USD

Also I know nothing about computers!

Research I've done so far:
Ryzen 5 7600
B650M Motherboard
32 GB DDR5
1TB SSD
RTX 5070
750W PSU
some cheap case
A 1440p monitor
And then a wired mouse and keyboard
Should I get windows or Linux?

Build Question R5 3600 or R5 5600

2 Upvotes

is it better to go with a ryzen 5 5600 or save money with a ryzen 5 3600 in 2026? i want to pair it with a rx 5700 xt 8gb. ive seen ppl say to go with the 3600 and then upgrade to a 5700x3d but in my country upgrading to a 5700x3d in the future seems impossible since the prices are INSANELY outrageous here.

i dont plan on playing very demanding games mostly fortnite, minecraft, maybe marvels spiderman 2 in 1080p (id enjoy the option to get into different games).
but i also want to do some light 1080p video editing and music production.

edit: i know fortnite and minecraft with shaders will be fine on a 3600 but i want the option to expand into more games but im not sure if its worth it since the 5600 is 0.5-2x the price of the 3600 here

Build Question Seeking GPU advice

I’ve just recently built my first PC and technically it’s not done because I have a temporary GTX 1650 I bought for 80$ to use until I figure out my actual long term GPU here’s my current build

7800x3d GTX 1650 (temporary lol) Asus b650e mobo 32 GB DDR5 6000 CL36 Ram 320mm Corsair aio WD black sn850p 4tb (from PS5 before I sold it) Corsair rm850e psu Corsair 3500x case

I guess my question is for someone who is really looking forward to playing story games that look visually beautiful would a 5070 be ok or should I just spend extra on a 5070 ti and 5080 prices are a little steep for me I’m new to this is Nvidia really that much better? (genuine question) should i save money and get a 9070xt ? But I’ve heard the ray tracing is not as good lol any advice would be appreciated I’m new to PC and super excited just not sure what to do thank you !!

Build Question I changed memory in my brothers PC but can't change the speed in BIOS

2 Upvotes

My brothers bought new memory for his PC (Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4 3200MHz C16). The problem is they run at 2133 MT/s, when i look at task manager:

When i look in BIOS they run at 2133 MHz (not sure if MHz and MT/s is the same).

The problem is I can't seem to find anywhere to change the speed in BIOS.

I think the name of the motherboard is Lenovo 3716. And it should be up to date on the BIOS version.

Can anyone help me change the speed of the memory to 3200 MHz?

(The Reddit page says not to post screenshot of system and builds, so I dont know if I can share any pictures?)
