It is my first time attempting to build a pc and I don't know which parts are compatible with each other. I already bought an asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3050 8GB gpu and asus ROG Strix B550-F motherboard. I am under a budget of 1k to complete the whole build.
I'm going for a basic gaming PC in the next 2-3 months that will also get used for other low-demand tasks. Gaming at 1080, mostly RPG and strategy games, including online play of tabletop RPG games and retro gaming, not expecting to play AAA titles. I want something that will last and be power efficient. I've never owned a…
I like the best performance and fps and recently got a prebuild and want to finish upgrading it so its the perfect setup for high fps games like call of duty and to be able to stream while playing. My PC Specs are: Ryzen 9 5900x Geforce RTX 3080ti they did good on those parts but the rest was kind of cheaply put together.…
I only recently got back into gaming, and upgraded my motherboard, CPU, CPU cooler, and my ram, and went from HDD -> SSD. I just want to be able to play 70% of games, at 1440p with High or Ultra settings with at least 60 fps. (Ex: Far Cry 6, GTA V, Minecraft with Shaders, Borderlands 3, Witcher 3, and Atlas.) I have an old…
Need to know the best pc components for the 3080 12gb
I’m trying to upgrade my motherboard to get a cooler look as well as work with my new 12700 K I love the look of the MSI z690 unify but not sure about the cost seems a bit expensive
Hi, I am working on my first ever custom build. I plan on using this computer for mostly gaming and some basic work stuff. The type of games range from 1st person shooters like Fortnite and Tomb Raider to large MMORPG's like Elder Scrolls Online and World of Warcraft. The PC is purposefully slightly overkill as I intend to…

So, I am thinking of letting micro center build my pc. I will buy the cpu, gpu, case, ram, and ssd from them, but will buy the motherboard and OS somewhere else because the mini itx board for b550 is out of stock. Can I bring these parts to the store, and they can build it for me? This is my first time getting a non…
I've heard a lot of discussion between air cooled vs all in one vs liquid cooled. Which of these allows the best thermals for this CPU since it runs so hot. Appears air coolers are "good enough" but have also seen discussion saying aio are not much better.
I've started using my custom PC a bit more intensively lately and noticed quite a bit of heat coming out of it. I might need to upgrade my fan, but I can't find my specs for fan size or anything. That's important because a better fan I got for this build before it was finished was way too big to actually fit in my case.…
Hi Everyone, I'm building my own custom pc and have already selected the parts for the same. Can someone please help me check if I missed anything or if something needs to be removed? Will the water cooler and fans I selected fit into the case? Any suggestions as to which case would be best for airflow and cooling? The one…

Hi, so I'm building my first PC partly because I've always wanted to and have never had the funds or know how, and mostly because I saw some Star Citizen content that got me motivated enough to start learning about the process and buying parts. I jumped into everything pretty quickly so this is what I have purchased so…
