| Need help upgrading my low-end PC Posted: 02 Nov 2019 07:36 AM PDT Hey Reddit, I've been thinking about upgrading my low-end PC, but I'm not sure where to start. I was hoping someone could help me out with specifying what parts I should upgrade and what parts I can keep. To give some context, I want to be able to have a dual monitor setup and be able to play games like League of Legends and Overwatch. Here are my current specs. And here is an upgrade I tried to make myself. So my budget is around €500, I am from The Netherlands, im not expecting to play heavy games with the build that i made.. i normally play games like overwatch or LoL. So what do you think of this upgrade? Is it even a legitimate build? Any help is welcome!

| Is R5 2600X a good choice to go with RX 5700 XT for 1440p gaming? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 06:15 AM PDT AAA titles, 60+ fps on High settings. Asking because people usually recommend R5 3600/3600X for this GPU, but those cost quite a bit more and would also require a more expensive mobo. So how much of a bottleneck would 2600X be? Is it worth to shell out for a 3rd gen Ryzen or will 2nd gen be good enough for this kind of performance?

| Cheap/effective way to upgrade this PC for HTC Vive ready status? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 07:43 AM PDT The checker from Valve says my PC is nearly ready for VR. Only the processor has a question mark.

| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 06:45 AM PDT Hello. I'm looking for a new gpu, currently chose the rtx 2060 ones (including SUPER). Help me choose the best of those: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/geforce-rtx-2060-gaming-z-6g - 448,62 € https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-RTX-2060-SUPER-GAMING-X - 472,02 € https://www.aorus.com/GV-N206SAORUS-8GC - 475,00 € https://www.gigabyte.com/us/Graphics-Card/GV-N2060GAMINGOC-PRO-WHITE-6GD#kf - 408,78 € Playing on 1080p 144hz. Not aiming for ultra graphics, except in Subnautica, there I would like to enjoy the game and not play competitively. Mostly for cs:go, pubg, fortnite. Should I pay a bit more for Super? I am aware of rx 5700, rx 5700 xt, but I don't want to deal with unstability that I have read from others. I don't really want to go over 500eur if you are suggesting any other card.

| First build-Fans spinning and RGB on but no video on monitor Posted: 02 Nov 2019 01:10 PM PDT I'm doing my first build and have run into a bit of a snag, my PC powers on fine but when plugged into my monitor I get a "no signal" error. The CPU fan and chasis fan on my case are spinning, RAM RGB is on, GPU RGB and fans are on, and case RGB is on. However, power button will turn on PC but not turn off PC no matter how long the button is held. Reset button does not work either. When Keyboard is plugged into both the motherboard and the case RGB is off. Attempted fixes: -Re-plug all plugs on motherboard in case error was made. -Moved RAM from a2 b2 to a1 b1. -Plug both VGA and HDMI cable into motherboard and GPU after each change to see if it worked. -Tested monitor using HDMI cable connected to laptop, which worked. My components: -AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor -ASRock B450 Pro4 ATX AM4 Motherboard -Team T-Force Delta RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory -Western Digital Blue 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive -MSI GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB GAMING X Video Card -Aerocool Cylon ATX Mid Tower Case -EVGA B3 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Any help would be so appreciated. Will try to respond to questions and provide more info if questions are asked. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Today I was building my first ever PC and nothing worked Posted: 02 Nov 2019 01:37 PM PDT I go to turn it on, nothing. So the person who is helping me suggests we take out each part one by one to see what is broken. We did, nothing. After a very stressful 10 minutes he realised we plugged it in one set of pins to far to the left. Morale of the story is, if you're using a MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX and it isn't turning on, check to see if it's just that you put them into the wrong set of pins.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

| Is this a good upgrade? Are they compatible? Posted: 02 Nov 2019 03:26 PM PDT I've decided to upgrade my pc this year. Sorry this is my first time upgrading/building a PC.

| Rate my build, high end gaming Posted: 02 Nov 2019 12:59 PM PDT So I recently wrecked my old PC in a delirium caused by stupid amounts of overtime. Spilled a ton of coffee all over the damn thing. I think only the hard drives and ram were untouched. With that said, it was time to upgrade anyway. So I set myself a goal/cap of 1,200 USD for the new computer. I have a vague idea of what I'm doing, and when it comes to assembly, but I'm not a maestro. I've only interchanged basic things before, like installation of hard drives and changing entire RAM load-outs out. I have watched my previous computers be assembled if that helps. So with the budget set in mind, I've picked out the following:
Before I go any further, does any of this even work with one another? Other thoughts; my previous video cards and CPU's were AMD and I would like to continue to support them - but I am not unopposed to other options that get me more bang for my buck. I'd also would like to know what power supply would work best with all of the above, thanks. Do I need more fans, or what I've got here is good? Should I pull the fans from the corpses of my previous machines to save money? TDLR: Critique my current chosen bits, suggest potential alternatives, suggest power supply. Thanks!

| Working on upgrading my PC, have some questions. Posted: 02 Nov 2019 09:55 AM PDT My current specs are GPU: GTX 1060 3GB CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500x RAM: 16GB RAM 2400MHz DDR4 PSU: EVGA 500b Copper Motherboard: ASUS Prime B350M-A And then I have a 1TB Hard Drive and my case has one fan that is quite large in it. I'm planning on replacing my CPU with an AMD Ryzen 7 2700x which should arrive in a few hours. And the GPU with an RX 5700 XT. I'm just trying to figure out if my motherboard is going to be compatible with the new parts and if my power supply will supply enough power to these parts. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 02 Nov 2019 02:48 PM PDT Troubleshooting Help:
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. When launching ASRock Polychrome RGB ver:1.0.60 on this PC, the program is non-responsive on launch during "Detecting Peripherals RGB controller", makes the whole computer unresponsive and lock up. This is a fairly fresh Windows 10 1903 installation with all basic drivers and updates. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. Tried updating BIOS from 3.40 to 3.50, then also 3.81 Beta, but problem persists. Even tried flashing the RGB firmware "nu51_2.10" with wICPFLASHADSB utility and it successfully updates, but program still crashes. RGB on the case works and can be adjusted in BIOS. I have another PC with almost exact same specs and the software works on that with the same BIOS version, so I don't know what could be wrong.
