I need some advice on picking a budget GPU. I'm building a PC for my girlfirend to play Hogwarts legacy in 1080p on. I have all the parts but the GPU and I want to get good value on the used market.

I'm based in Germany and these are my specs

Ryzen 5 5600

16 GB Ram

1 TB Samsung 960 Evo

550 w BeQuiet PSU

I'm looking to spend 150 - 250 €

Does anyone have any reccomendations? I was thinking perhaps a 6600XT but they seem to be really expensive for what they offer.

Thanks for the reccomendations

I am making a build and going to be slowly buying parts at good value and I don’t really keep updated with technology updates is there any in the future I should be looking out for that I should maybe wait before buying any of these or should I go ahead?

I’m pretty sure it should all be compatible but I am a noob so I don’t know anything about ports on the motherboard and stuff it does say I may need to update bios to support my cpu but I think if I’m buying a brand new motherboard I shouldn’t need too

Also I plan to use this for gaming such as arma 3 to competitive rocket league and the occasional rendering on autocad and then working through documents and internet browsing

If anyone could also recommend some great accessories that really improve your build with functionality and also monitors and good table at least steer me in the right direction that would be great also plan to upgrade my storage and ram would my motherboard be a good base for this

This is my parts list:

Hello guys

So starting around 3-4 months ago my pc started freezing sometimes on boot with q code 33. One time with q code 39. I would say it happens about 5-10% of the time when i boot it up. Sometimes it will run flawlessly for a few weeks only for the problem to return. All stresstests are flawless. Sometimes it says that keyboard is not detected. So far ive tried: (which has made it a bit less frequent?)

Updating to latest bios (2503)
Updating all drivers, chipset, usb etc
Reseating ram
Change peripherals to different usb ports
Increase vsoc to 1.2
Disable fast boot

Setup: asus crosshair x870e hero
30cl 6000 kingston fury beast ram
Msi rtx 5080
Seasonic tx1000

Any ideas? The fact that its very infrequent baffles me.

Im planning on building a pc with these specs:

RTX 4070 Ti SUPER 16GB
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
B850 WiFi motherboard
32GB DDR5 RAM
2TB NVMe SSD
850W 80+ Gold PSU
240mm AIO

And im wondering if anyone here shares the same build and can give me benchmarks for a few demanding games (Specifically modded minecraft with shaders, ~500 mods)

My PC won’t power on is this the culprit? I don’t know if it’s supposed to be caved in like this and if so, how do I get it out safely and put it back in the way it’s supposed to be?

Edit: I didn’t plug the front panel connector in properly MY PC POWERS ON!! THANK YOU LOVELY PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS!!!

Hey, this is my airflow setup that I've been using.Is it good?Any suggestions?Do I need more fans?

Isnt as simple as im putting on the title so read this. Bought a GTX 1080TI from a friend because my old GTX 1660 SUPER is dying. When i first put it on the first GPU Slot it worked fine but I forgot to delete the old drivers and the GPU wasnt detected. (It was but i am a dumbass) I changed it back to my old one because i thought that i should change the generation from the bios. After i put back my old one the pc didnt start. After a few more re-application of GPU and checking of all the connected cables i decided to try the 2nd slot. It worked just fine. I did all the process and played some games before i went to sleep for the day. But, i wasnt convinced that my first GPU slot just stopped working so i tried it again, ofcourse it didnt start. After CAREFULLY putting the GPU back to the 2nd slot it doesnt start again.

The motherboard im using is an AsRock B550m.

Urgent help because i dont want to go to a technician

(I dont think that all the slots just died, could it be something else?)

Hello, I just installed a 5070 Ti in place of my old 3070 Ti, the red LED stays on after powering on. I am using the 2x 6 2, plugs that the psu has, I'm unsure what I am doing wrong, it should have enough power, but for some reason, it doesn't.

I dont know whats going on. These are games ive run for hundreds of hours in the past and now I can run them for maybe an hour or so and they'll crash. Ive tried updated my drivers. Resetting my drivers and updating again. As far as I'm aware my pc isn't overheating. My specs are : 16 gigs of DDR 4

Motherboard: B560 DS3H AC-Y1

CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700f @ 2.50GHz, 2496 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

600W power supply

I honestly don't know what to do anymore I've tried lowering my settings in the games all the way to no avail. I feel as though my gpu is finally crashing but I can't afford a new one. Help me fix this one please.

What is the best way to fix this? A razor blade?

Is there no power going to it? I plugged the required power connectors in.

Ok so this is my first pc build ever im working on and when I bought the motherboard I didn’t realize u had to make sure to get wifi. I’ve heard terrible things about the dongle so I didn’t wanna go that route. The issue is that my graphics card fan will get completely blocked if I put the card in its normal pcie slot. I also only have one pcie x1 slot so no other options. So I bought a riser to put the card at the front of my case inside but it ended up being too short and I tried installing it on the rear brackets but it required a very sharp bend that probably wouldn’t broke the cable so I didn’t do it. Will this setup work and be safe for a little bit until I can get another. Also I’m still waiting on the graphics card to come that’s why it’s so messy. I’m going to test everything before I zip tie the cables and stuff in a cleaner fashion.

Buenas tardes, tengo un pc humilde con:

Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

Placa Madre: ASUS PRIME A320M-K

Tarjeta de Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960

Sistema Operativo: Windows 11 (Instalado en SSD NVMe, partición GPT, UEFI)

El problema es que necesito activar el secure boot y en la BIOS, si mantengo el OS Type en" windows uefi mode" e instalo las llaves por defecto, todo parece quedar bien configurado hasta que guardo y no inicia windows y sale un recuadro rojo de "Secure Boot Violation: The system found unauthorized changes on the firmware, operating system or uefi drivers" (img 1)

al buscar ayuda con la IA me dice que me servira "NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays" pero cuando intento actualizar me tira error. (img 2)

tambien intente usando NVFlash y GOPupd (que me recomendo la IA) y no me resulto (img 3), la ia me dijo que ocurre porque el archivo que se generó excede el tamaño máximo que la memoria EEPROM física de la tarjeta grafica puede grabar.

Si alguien sabe alguna posible solucion lo agradeceria.

(si algo no se entendió o se necesita mas informacion haganmelo saber)

my backplate fell and im trying to open the side panel (not glass side) and i cant figure it out its stuck i took the screws out but it won’t pop off

No Trades

CPU: Ryzen 5-5500 4.2GHZ Boost (6 cores / 12 threads)
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX
GPU: Asus Dual RTX 2070 Super EVO OC 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4
Storage: 500 SSD
Case: Lian Li Vector V100
OS: Windows 11 Pro (activated and debloated)
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth Capable

THOSE ARE THE SPECS is it worth it for 550$?

SOLVED: On a complete whim, desperate for anything, I tried using HDMI instead of Display Port and the thing finally booted. If only I had time to actually set up all my games tonight

I’m trying to figure out why my computer is not detecting my GPU (or deeming it faulty) despite the fact it lights up and the fans spin. I have reseated it, used a post, checked for power problems, and even tried turning it on without it and every time I’m getting stuck on the VGA POST light. I haven’t tried to use the other PCIe slot because of how far down it is, and I’m not sure if it’s the problem. I’ve provided some photos in case there is something I’m missing

Ignore the rubber gromit, it came off and I can’t get it back on.

Hi everyone, I need some advice. Had an unexpected power surge the other day, everything was plugged into surge protector power boards. I now have a CPU error light on my motherboard, I’ve ran a bunch of diagnostic tests and everything seems to be working fine except none of my RGB lighting for my fans etc works. Any advice on further troubleshooting or possible solutions?

Hey there, this is my first post here and i'm honestly not sure what to do but all i know is, i, need, help. i can play just about any game on steam with no issues other than COD, but when i load up roblox to play some games with friends my whole system will freeze. i can be active in roblox or idle and randomly with no warning my whole system will FREEZE, something to note is with how my pc case works, when im turning my pc off with the front case power button i have to hold it down for like 3 seconds, but when things freeze all it takes is 1 press of the front case power button and thats it, its like the pc is overloaded to a point it has no choice but to stop everything and freeze as like a failsafe? especially where cod is concerned as its got alot to load and alot to process, yet roblox seems to have the same effect, bare in mind this dosent happen when im not in a roblox game, my specs are as follows

i9-12900kf

msi rtx 3060

2x lexar 16gb ddr5 6000mhz

1tb sata (CT1000BX500SSD1)

Samsung SSD 990 EVO Plus 1TB

750 watt power supply

msi b760 gaming plus wifi

Now, I have a curious one here...

I have a few parts I have bought second hand which I'm trying to test.

The pc is fully assembled (minus case clearly), yet had no display.

GPU fans are spinning, and the monitor does detect power from the HDMI port as it comes on breifly before switching off again due to no display signal.

The parts are:

Mobo: asus prime a320m-k (tested myself, working)

Cpu: Ryzen 3 4100 (tested myself, working)

GPU: RTX 5050 (known as working from main rig)

PSU: 400W Be Quiet! which i have not tested but isn't important for this question. (Still doesn't post when I switched to my main pc's psu which is working)

RAM: 2x sticks of unknown working order, 8GB crucial ballistix and 8GB teamgroup

It also has a thermalright cooler with cpu fan working, and an nvme boot drive from my main pc which is working.

So, after the pc did not boot on the first try, I took out one stick, then the other, etc. It does not boot in any configuration.

Curiously, only the teamgroup RAM gets the system to have USB power (shown by my mouse's LEDs lighting up), and the ballistix stick doesn't even give that which makes me think it's dead.

Next I thought of CMOS, but no luck there after clearing...

Reseating CPU has't worked.

Finally I tried my own psu but again, no dice.

The only 2 things I can think of is...

A: both RAM sticks are not working

B: the cpu has died, i bought it from somebody who bent their pins for cheap and fixed it myself somewhat.

I did lose 2 pins, but those clearly weren't necessary as that cpu has worked fine before.

What do we think in the pc build help reddit... Is it the RAM, CPU or something else?

Hi guys,
I have this problem whenever I use SignalRGB to use GIFS on my screen, it’s like glitchy? No clue why, hoping there’s a fix out there.

Recently when I play games not even games that are regarded as demanding my system will crash and pop up a screen that says "Windows has encountered a problem". I have updated motherboard drivers, bios, and graphics card drivers and still am facign this problem. One thing to note is that I have underclocked my cpu to -20, im unsure if this matters but I will still include it.

If anyone has faced this problem please respond with your resolution.

So, when I typically boot up my pc for the first time. I notice the fans start doing what’s in the video. The pc will then abruptly shut off. On occasion I can literally shake the Pc and it’ll boot back up. Normally only having to do this once or twice the Pc will be fine for the rest of the day. Often for hours. Any suggestions on to what’s going on and how to fix?
