Today, I'm putting together another parts list for a $900 PC. This is the revised edition of the PC list I posted in late March. I also read your suggestions, and this time this build features the $159.99 Ryzen 5 5600, which is a 6C/12T processor built on the latest Zen 3 architecture for no bottleneck. Also, this build…
Hi I'm building my first pc and not gonna lie, kind of have no idea what I'm doing. I made a list of the parts I have so far. I want to know if there's some ways to improve it without increasing the price. I'm trying to find a better and compatible motherboard, maybe better memory? and I wanted to know if there was a…
Hi Good Folks, would you all take a look at these components for a build? Any recommendations that cost less but have the same end-return would be greatly appreciated. Also, comments on quality of choices and possible compatibility issues would additionally be appreciated. CPU - AMD - Ryzen 9 5900X Vermeer 3.7GHz 12-Core…
Hiya, Looking for some advice on what to do. I mostly use my computer for gaming (Overwatch, Minecraft, Halo, No Man's Sky) and coding. I'm not quite sure what to get when I try to build a list. The prebuilt's are tempting because they're already done and seem to be better for the wallet but I've had problems in the past…
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…
So I'm running a R7 2700K cpu and need to get a new gpu(hdmi port stopped working on my current 1050ti). I'm looking at either a 3070/3070ti or 3080(non ti) since prices are getting better. Locally it looks like the 3070ti and 3080(non ti) is what's in stock. I currently use two 1080p and would like to move up to two 1440p…
First of all, I have never actually built a computer from scratch. I would not save I am a gamer, but I want the best bang for the buck, and not have to be worried about latency. I am afraid I have too much impatience and inexperience so I would probably pay the microcenter build fee to get my build done. Let's stick with…
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…
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 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.…
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…
Need to know the best pc components for the 3080 12gb
The build features the $69.99 Intel Core i3-10105F, and this build is just a suggestion of what to build. As the Intel Core i3-10105F is a 4C/8T processor, this build should be used in 1440p for the least bottleneck, or downgraded to a RX 6600($80 cheaper) for no 1080p bottleneck. *No Windows 10/11 is included.* Hope this…
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

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.…
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.
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…

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…
Budget - No limit, though not insane Use - video editing and creation, simulator games mostly Note I am a minimalist, not concerned with looks at all - just functionality. Will probably never overclock, etc., but I wouldn't mind the option. So here are my proposed parts: i9-12000k Asrock z690 steel legend WiFi 6E DDR4 LGA…
