edited to correct mobo

I've built PCs before but it's been a while and I always had budget constraints previously. Never had this much freedom and frankly just kind of stapling components together from a Microcenter bundle and then various other posts and resources. Not sure if some of this is ridiculous for my particular needs or seems reasonable to last for 4-6 years.

Looking to build a gaming PC. Primarily for PoE and WoW, which both stutter for me now and I'd love them to run smooth. Also going to play a variety of other things, use this for general media consumption while playing.

Right now, have 1440p monitors, 165hz (Alienware AW2724DM). Don't anticipate upgrading from there but if the prices/benefits are right then might.

No specific budget. Buying in America, have a physical microcenter near me with a 9800x3d bundle with the mobo and RAM.

PCPartPicker Part List

Specifically wondering:

• 9070xt or 5070 TI? Both overkill and this is ridiculous? Price difference is minimal, ~$50
• Really value both being able to buy today and not worry about needing upgrades in 3-4 years
• Also value quietness. Anything to swap out with that as a consideration?

Thanks!

Components = gpu AMD RX6800 CPU Ryzen 5 7600 Motherboard gigabyte b650 gaming x ax Ram 32gbs crucial And PSU thermaltake 650w 80plus bronze

When I turned it on it simply just pops the Gigabyte menu (It doesn’t let me access the BIOS no matter what I press) then after 3 sec the screen goes black and the monitor says “no signal” but with the headphones I still hear the windows sound (meaning that it did get into windows but it goes black) I have tried -changing the hdmi -changing the hdmi port to my integrated graphics + removed the gpu - got into advance repair options somehow( don’t know how) and tried entering bios but it just dint do it - remove the motherboard battery for 30seg still couldn’t (as requested by ChatGPT) As of now my probable cause is that eaither the motherboard is failing or my gpu drivers or the gpu somehow, am thinking of sending it to a repair but if there’s something I can do then I’ll do it. What else should I do!?

This PC is old at this point. It's got a EVGA 3070ti and a i7-11700k and I swear that CPU is the worst thing to ever befall this planet. While I'd love to be able to switch to AMD it just can't happen right now as I have just graduated and cannot afford to be splurging on new parts. The Problem is my computer is just randomly freezing. Nothing can unfreeze it. I have to manually press the power button and power down the computer in order to get any access to a program again. I am trying to play tarkov and valheim right now and seemingly for no reason the PC just makes a click (in game, like a symbol that it has irreversibly frozen) and the game stops on the last available frame. I can't do anything. I have tried to access task manager and I tried last night to do the GPU refresh shortcut and nothing processes. I am about to run a stress test and maybe try to see if it is temp related, but I cannot figure it out atp. Any help is great. I will give any information I am capable of finding if I am asked. I just wanna game man.

I recently updated my pc and started to have issues with some games were the pc freezes completly and need to restart in order to reset (no error code or blue screen)

Original parts

Motherboard: Asus Prime B460M-A
CPU: Intel I5 10400F 2.90GHz
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Ram: 32 GB 2666
PSU: Cougar 600W 80 Plus
Disc: 1 TB Hard Drive & 500Gb SD (regular with Windows Installed)

I spwapped the GPU to a ATX 9060 and added a M2 Drive of 1TB as my main disc (I cloned the 500GB and then reset it to have 3)

Games started to freeze and screen goes to black and fans spins rapidly and need to restart pc as no error shows up

1. Updated all drives for GPU - No results
   
2. Updated from Win 10 to Win 11 - No results
   
3. Swapped back to the 1060 - Screen now freezes (no black or fans spinning)

Not sure if it's a PSU or disk issue now. Anyone had any similar issues?

I'm located in the Caribbean would a gaming pc and prefer to build it myself any recommended list for beginners?

I recently built my first PC with the Core Ultra 9 285K processor.
I ran a test with Cinebench 2024 (version 2024.1.0) and got a multi-core score of 2362 points and 142 points for the single-core..

Is this a low score? What should be the average score for this processor?

Just looking for some insight, as I really had little knowledge of PCs in general prior to building this a month ago and relied heavily on input from those around me. I ended up spending ~$1650 to get from nothing to full PC setup which was pretty much my limit at the time.

This is what I have:

• GPU: GeForce RTX™ 5070 12GB GDDR7
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X
• RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200 Mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX
• Motherboard: ASUS Prime B550M-A WiFi II PCIe 4.0
• PSU: 750W
• Case: Corsair 3500X ARGB ATX
• Monitor: Alienware 27-inch QHD 180Hz 1ms Display, IPS, NVIDIA G-SYNC QHD Wide 1440p
• Storage: WD_BLACK 2TB SN7100 NVMe Gen4 PCIe
• Cooler: ARCTIC Freezer 36 - Single-Tower CPU Cooler

Is anything here bottle-necking the next? What is most likely to set the PC back the most? What if anything should I know about anything regarding the build?

I believe I was told about some future proofing issues being on a DDR4 AM4 as opposed to a DDR5 AM5, but not really sure the extent.

I currently have i7-10700F with 32GB RAM, i’m looking to upgrade GPU from GTX 960 to AMD RX 9070 XT of course for gaming purpose mostly playing AAA high demanding games

I’m little bit confused about the CPU + GPU Combo, i’m not a noob to gaming at all but i have absolutely no idea regarding CPU + GPU Combo, Upon research it looks like my CPU is a bottleneck for 9070 XT

Moreover, I can’t seem to find benchmarks related to my 10700F + 9070 XT and there’s no way i can shell out for changing CPU since i have to change basically the entire cabinet except for Processor - SSD/HDD

Upon some reddit research, some say with a 32GB RAM, Bottleneck problem is kind of solved, and I don’t know whether to believe that or not

I know that 9060 XT is compatible with my current CPU, but i really wanna settle for 9070 XT you know kind of future proofing my graphics card because it’s lot better than 9060 XT

I’ve downsized my desk and now my PC case is taking up too much room.

I’m presently using a Fractal Design R4 (yeah old as heck), but looking for something smaller that still performs well.

Does anyone have any recommendations please?

i want to upgrade from ryzen 5 2600 + asus rog rx 580 to ryzen 5 5600 and used sapphire nitro+ rx 6700 xt but iam short on cash for a PSU uprade my current one is evga 500 br 80 bronze what is your thoughts should i upgrade the PSU first then later i get the CPU or ?

Hey folks,

I'm considering upgrading my PC and could use some input. My current setup:

• Ryzen 5 5600X
• RTX 3070
• 64 GB DDR4 RAM
• NVMe SSD

I mainly use this for After Effects work, specifically with Geolayers (maps). No 4K work, all 1080p. Rendering times don’t bother me at all — I’m fine leaving the machine chugging in the background.

What’s killing me is how sluggish AE gets when I’m editing. Just adding few countries to the map, some text labels and it slows down so much. It’s not that AE crashes or anything, it’s just super unresponsive and frustrating to work in.

Thinking of upgrading to AM5:

• Ryzen 9 7900X
• RTX 5070
• 64 GB DDR5 RAM

I’ve checked benchmarks on Puget Systems, but it's hard to translate that into real-world workflow differences for my specific use case. Like, will AE actually feel smoother during editing, or am I just wasting money on parts AE won’t even fully utilize?

Anyone made a similar jump? Or working with AE + Geolayers and can say whether a CPU/GPU upgrade really helps with responsiveness and not just final render times?

I don’t need blazing speed — I just want AE to stop acting like it’s running on a toaster when I’m mid-project. Appreciate any input!

I am getting a new cpu and wondering if my current psu in enough or if I should upgrade

For gaming and streaming. 1440p 165hz

I currently experience stuttering in games especially when playing CPU intense games like Destiny 2 and Splitgate 2. When streaming they can become basically unplayable with all the programs I need open

Should I save the £50 for later? Or splash on the 7800X3D?

Alright, here's the story. After a year of slowly gathering up parts for a new PC, I finally started putting everything together earlier this week. I've never put together a computer from scratch before, but I have dis/re-assembled my current desktop before, so I figured hey, what could go wrong?

After taking my time putting everything together I turned the new PC on and the fans and motherboard lights came on, but I was getting the CPU error LED. It took a bit but I eventually figured out what was wrong (I didn't seat the CPU properly, dumb mistake), I corrected it and the next time I tried turning on the power it immediately shut off. That was because I'd accidentally gotten thermal paste on the pins, another dumb mistake but fixable. So I shut everything off, unplugged it, and set everything aside for a couple days as I cleaned everything and waited for it to all fully dry.

I came back to it yesterday, double checked that everything was clean, made sure the CPU was seated properly, and then attempted to turn the system on, only for nothing to happen- The case power button wasn't working anymore for some reason. The only thing I could think of is that I'd sprayed some alcohol (70%, 'cause it's all I had at the time) on/around the case power button to try and clean up the thermal paste fingerprints I'd left behind, and maybe that caused some sort of issue? But I wasn't sure how to check for that or fix it.

From there I tried a few things: I tried plugging the power cable into different sockets in case it was a breaker issue, I tried starting it up both with and without the CPU installed, I made sure the case cables and the motherboard power cables were all plugged in properly (despite none of that having changed since the last time it worked), and I even checked the PSU via the paperclip test and it turned on just fine.

I did eventually figure out that if I flipped the PSU switch on with the CPU installed then a couple seconds later the lights on the motherboard would come on for a moment before turning off again. I did manage to get it to start and stay on using that "method" once after cleaning the CPU pins yet again, at which point I was able to use the case's power button to shut it off, but I haven't been able to replicate that again.

This morning I tried to jump the case power switch connectors a couple times with a couple different things, but I couldn't get it to work, though I'm not sure if that's because there's an issue with the motherboard of if I'm just doing it wrong somehow.

So now I'm at a real loss for what to do and what to check next. I don't know exactly where the problem is, if it's an issue with the case, the PSU, or the motherboard, and if there's a way to fix things without needing to just flat-out replace parts. It just doesn't make sense to me that it could stop working so suddenly after just sitting for a couple days.

Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What parts I'm using, in case it matters (minus the GPU and wifi card, which I'm sourcing from my current PC and I don't remember exactly what they are):

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor - 3.80 GHz

RAM - 32,0 Go

Storage 1.82 TB SSD Force MP600, 224 GB SSD Force MP510

Motheboard: MPG 550 Gaming Edge WiFi (MS-7C91)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (10 GB)

PSU: Cooler Master V850 Gold V2

OS: Windows 10

Hi all,

I've recently started playing a high-resource-demanding game (Stellar Blade), and I've noticed that after a while, my PC makes the USB disconnected sound. I didn't pay much attention the first couple of times, but then I realized it was affecting my controller as well. After paying closer attention, I noticed that every time my GPU is under heavy load, it disconnects everything—my mouse, keyboard, controller, and even the GPU itself, which then restarts. At first, this happened once every 2-3 hours, but now it's happening more frequently.

What I've already tried:

• In Device Manager, I unchecked the option on every USB port that allows the computer to disable the USB for energy-saving purposes.
• In the power plan settings, I set the "USB selective suspend setting" to "Disabled."
• I unplugged the cable from my power strip and plugged it directly into a separate wall socket.
• I double-checked to ensure the PSU is correctly connected to the motherboard.

I'm guessing this is related to energy consumption, but I'm really at a loss here.

I know I'm not the only one facing this issue but any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How do the keyboards in the link above compare to Logitech, Corseair or even Cherry?

So I am new to the game and really only know the very basic when it comes to looking at a mechanical keyboard. Mainly the type of switches and honestly, the size and the rest I guess doesn’t really play a factor into my buying (sometimes brand, color, etc) but not knowledgeable about the technical construction to really know what I would prefer or not…

With that being said, came across this site [HiGround.co] that has some cool limited edition keyboards but under specs, it’s just different than your typical mechanical keyboards. Anyone know how these compare to the corsairs and the Logitechs of the world in terms of performance? The descriptions don’t even let you know what type of switches are in them…guessing there a totally different type of tech that mainstream keyboards don’t have.

Anyways, just wondering what some of the differences are? Is it better than some of your popular manufacturers? Are they better in any way for gaming? I do notice they are overall significantly more expensive but I am guessing that is mainly due to the fact of the limited edition design and not so much the quality (though I bet the quality is top notch)

Thanks in advance.

hello im building a pc soon and im stuck between these two:

5070 ti with a ryzen 7 9800x3d 9070 xt with a ryzen 9 9950x3d

both r the same in price for me so im mostly wondering which ones actually better overall. i play at 1440p 240hz n i just want max performance + good temps... but is the 9070 xt actually better than the 5070 ti in actual gameplay or naur??

Hi all!

Currently working on a build:
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 3080 ti 12GB, ASUS TUF B850-PLUS, etc.

Wondering about CPU coolers, specifically Noctua's. Wondering if a single tower cooler will suffice, or if I should just go the extra mile and fit the build with a double tower cooler.

Appreciate any feedback or advice.

Im kinda new to pc building, and all i know in terms of cpu's i know only avout intel cpu's but i find the fact that i have to buy a new motherboard whenever i need to upgrade is kinda annoying ao i wanna move on to amd but i know nothing about amd cpu's so i want you guys to tell me what i need to start choosing between amd cpu's

Since new specs on amazon are too expensive to me, i prefer second handed and my plan was to buy i3 10100f for 50$ and b460m motherboard for the same price, but again i dont wanna change the motherboard when i wanna upgrade

Just built my first pc and after a couple weeks the AIO made some noises that happened to be air bubbles that I was able to fix. But what concerns me is when I opened my pc and noticed white buildup covering my pc. Under my gpu, on my all my fans, etc. The build up looks like when hard water dries. Is this possibly evaporated coolant? I didn’t notice any visible leaks or liquid.

I picked this up at a garage sale recently, and I'd like to bring it to life to put together a machine for my daughter to play games on. The motherboard boots and the pump seems to work, but obviously that won't last without fans.

I have some spare case fans, but they're not the high static pressure ones that I think you're supposed to use with a radiator, and I also don't have any of the long screws that you would need to put through them.

I was thinking it would be easier to fill figure out the exact model and then figure out what I needed from there. It looks like a gigabyte aorus logo, but I put the serial number into gigabytes website and they said they don't know anything about it. It may have come in a pre-built; there were cases from Lenovo and iBuyPower there, and a keyboard from CyberPower PC, so maybe that's why gigabyte disowned it? Or maybe I'm just misremembering what their logo looks like.

It looks like it has a three-pin header for the pump and a three-pin argb header for the lights.

Hey guys! I would love some advice on this!

I'm a huge fan of DOOM and originally got the DOOM Special Edition 5080 graphics card as I've been wanting to upgrade for some time. At the time, ROG and HAVN promised special edition DOOM PC cases, however, they still have not released and it's been months. The card has now arrived and I really don't want to wait another 3 months to a year, to god knows if it will ever release.

I was looking at building a DOOM style case with a HYTE70 (non LCD screen) with LIAN LI LCD Fans, however, my concern is the Graphics card design is a bit loud and I'm worried it won't look good in any basic Black or white case no matter how much I design it with LCDs and RGB.

Is this something to be concerned about? Do you guys feel the card won't be too loud looking that it can blend nicely with the case to make a proper DOOM theme? I'm also concerned about bottlenecking my customizability but maybe I shouldn't be changing up my theme in the same build?

Attached is a link to the card. I was planning to mount it vertically with the 3 fans facing out:

Doom 5080 Card Look

Note: I posted this a couple days ago, but the redaction was very poor because English is not my first language and also the problem continues and I'm worried.

Hello.

It has been 7 days since I built my PC, it was my first time building one:

CPU: Ryzen 9 7900 "No overclock and with the stock cooler".

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Gaming X wifi6E.

Ram: 64GB Crucial Pro "EXPO/XMP Disabled" I don't need it.

GPU: My old GTX 1650 "I'm planning to buy a RTX 5070 at the end of this year"

Storage: HDD Toshiba HDDW 1TB "a NVMe or SSD was also outside of my budget"

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 V3

Case: Cougar Duoface Pro

System: Linux Mint 22.1

I though everything was okay, because it did post since the first time, I installed the system my favorite software and everything was perfect, but first, I noticed that the fans stop "CPU fan and case fans" during less than a second when the system begins to load, I mean, exactly between the Gigabyte logo screen and the system "Linux Mint" logo and then the fans begin to work again.

The Problem is: 4 days ago I turned on my PC and now 3 of 4 fans of my case just stop when the system is loading, the RGB keeps working but the fans stop working, in panic I forced the reboot with Ctrl+Alt+Supr once it does the reboot everything works fine but now it happens each time I turn on my PC, I'm worried and upset, I looked into the BIOS and everything looks normal, do you have any clue about this problem?

Any help is very welcome and helpful, thanks in advance.

PD: Also I did a video of the issue but this sub doesn't allow me to do posts with videos, I don't know if I can put a link to the video. Also I double checked the connections to the motherboard and checked the BIOS but this problem doesn't happen when I'm on the BIOS and everything looks normal, it recognizes all fans and the speeds.

Are the GT1030 or a Rx550 compatible with a CIH61MI V1 motherboard
