I wanted to do something nice for her and her kids so I built her a pc from spare parts I had and a few other parts from redditors. Gigabyte ITX board, 6600k cpu, 16gb of RAM, 500 gb SSD + 1tb HD, 560ti video card, Corsair itx case, 600watt psu, 22" Samsung monitor, Mouse and keyboard It feels good to do something nice for people who deserve it.

| I've a confession: I've never used an anti-static wrist band Posted: 09 Aug 2018 07:30 AM PDT I have never used one as I've read that they are mostly unnecessary. Usually when opening my PC or someone else's i touch something metal; my desk leg, or the metal case itself as i am opening the PC. I was reading some forums (for some reason discussion on the matter stopped after 2014) and got a little bit scared and so bought myself one now. Who here uses one? Who thinks its just placebo?

| Can’t insert the GPU into the slot. Posted: 09 Aug 2018 07:47 AM PDT Hello everyone! I'm currently building my first PC, and it's gone relatively smooth until now. I'm building with a Gigabyte A350M-DS3H and using a Gigabyte 1060 GTX. I removed the expansion slots and the card fits nicely in there, but I can't seem to slot it in to the actual motherboard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Edit: turns out I made a rookie mistake, thank you all so much for the wholesome feedback and I look forward to laughing at myself in the future :) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 08 Aug 2018 11:22 PM PDT For the past 15 or so years that I have been building my gaming PCs, I always follow the same rule when upgrading my hardware, particularly my CPU and GPU. I usually always pick the upper middle class GPU and CPU(think i5, gtx 970 etc.) which is where most bang-for-the-buck models are positioned. For CPU I usually upgrade once very 5 years since the gain is very little per succeeding generation(obviously there are exceptions). For the GPU I upgrade once every 3 years since there are more significant gains per generation. Does anyone follow the same? I am just curious since I have so many friends who would update every new generation only to get buyers remorse afterwards. EDIT: For those who are wondering, here is my upgrade history: CPU Pentium 4 Prescott (2003) - Core 2 Duo E7400 (2008) - Core i5 3470 (2012) - Ryzen 5 1600 (2017) GPU FX 5500 (2003) - 7600 GT (2006) - 8800 GT (2008) - HD7870 Ghz Ed. (2012) - GTX 970 (2016) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is a i3 8100 any good for gaming? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 04:34 AM PDT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:49 PM PDT Currently running 8gb ddr3 RAM RX 480 8GB I imagine getting a new Mobo + CPU would be a good place to start, but i'm unsure of what the choices are, haven't really been in the market for a while. Any suggestions or advice? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:32 PM PDT The motherboard that I chose was the Asus- Rog-Strix Z370-E Gaming, would it be paired better with 4x8 or 2x16 ram sticks [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Built my PC, No signal on monitor. Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:10 PM PDT I've tried plugging it in my GPU, I tried 2 different monitors, taken out the ram, but nothing is working.

| Can't boot from an external SSD on an HP Pavilion DV6 1320 Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:52 PM PDT I don't seem to be able to boot from an SSD (MX 300 with W10) connected to an eSATA port despite the fact that I can access the files in it when I boot from the internal HDD of the laptop (W10) and I can boot from the SSD in other computers I tested. When I go to the bios setup, there's an exclamation mark in front of the USB Hard Drive option, which probably means something but I have no idea how to fix this issue (I also tried pressing shift+1 as suggested by a page I googled and it didn't do anything at all). Any ideas? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 12:57 PM PDT I just finished my first ever build, and I couldn't be happier! I spent a lot of time choosing what parts would fit my needs and wants. I had my mind SET on that cooler so I had to use a parcel forwarding company to ship it to me in the US because they aren't going to sell that product here. I contacted their support team and they verified it will not be coming here. I tried my best with the cable management, but it still needs some work. Any suggestions for where to buy custom cables? Is Cable Mod the best option? As happy as I am with the build, I can't deny that now all I want to do is build another. I caught the bug! My New Build! (The pics really don't do it justice) NOTE: I didn't pay these prices, I saved a decent amount on Prime Day and found a few other deals as well! PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:27 PM PDT I have a RX 580 8GB with a 1440P 144Hz monitor. It's great for videos/movies but lacks too much (my opinion) in gaming. Should I get a Vega 56 or a 64? 2nd question(s) I have is should I consider a GTX 1080? Or even a 1080 ti? (Since prices have been dropping like flies) Or is having a freesync monitor shoot that down? Noob here, so sorry if it's dumb and wrong to ask/want.

| First PC Build Would love any and all feedback! Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:08 PM PDT Like i said its my first PC thank you for your feedback. I already have the PSU,RAM,SSD,CASE,Internal hard drive. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

| PC Bricked After SSD Install Attempt Posted: 09 Aug 2018 04:15 PM PDT Hey guys, I recently purchased a Samsung 500GB SSD to put into my computer (Dell XP5 8500). Basically I loaded Windows 10 onto a USB, unplugged my hard drive, plugged in my SSD and when I powered on my computer was stuck on a black screen (never got a prompt to open BIOS). After a few tries I unplugged my SSD and plugged my harddrive back in and suddenly I have the same black screen issue. I'm not sure what I did during this process but the hard drive (which has always worked) is now having the same problems as my new SSD. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

| Is it enough for 1440p 144hz gaming Posted: 09 Aug 2018 06:02 AM PDT Hey! Is a RX 580 and a Ryzen 7 1700 enough for 1440p with 144hz in recent games? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:47 AM PDT Looking for a build that's around $2000 not including the monitor, keyboard or mouse. Should I wait for the gtx 1180 or 2080? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| $411 Budget for Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:29 PM PDT I have a gtx 1080 so I'm trying to get a 1440p monitor. If the budget allows it I'm hoping to have more than 60 ghz too. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:16 PM PDT I've currently got a Ryzen 3 2200g. Planning on adding a discreet gpu. Which would be better to go with, the 560 or the 1050. I know there's only a small price difference but didn't know if the 560 would work better with the Ryzen or not. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:34 AM PDT Also it's not a RX 560D so I guess it is better? These parts are on sale here and it's a similar price. Which do you think is better to get? To be paired with a Ryzen 5 2400G [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| With the new GTX 1180 coming out soon: Which processor to buy for my new PC? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 03:37 AM PDT I'm planning to build a new PC soon and am currently waiting for the GTX 1180 (or 2080, whatever it will be called) to come out. I wanted to combine it with a i7-8700k, however I am unsure if I should wait for the 9th generation of the Intel Core-CPUs to come out. How much of an perfomance boost does a new generation approximately bring? Will it be worth the wait? I mostly use my PC for gaming (and browsing etc.) but not for video editing. Thanks!

| Should I buy this laptop for gaming? Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:46 PM PDT A friend of mine wants to sell me his about 2 year old laptop for 450 to 500 euros. It's a Medion Erazer P7647 Specs : Intel Core i5 7200U GTX 950M 256 GB SSD 1TB HDD 8GB RAM 43,9 cm (17,3") FHD Display Is it worth it? Thanks in advance :) Edit: i know i wrote "gaming" in the title but i obviously dont expect to play Far Cry 5 at max settings. I just want to play some Fortnite, Paladins or Overwatch. And if anybody could tell me if Dark Souls 3 could run on this system by any chance, please let me know [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 10:51 AM PDT I don't know much but obviously for over $200 it should be decent right? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 08:29 AM PDT So im planning to get a GTX 1050 cuz i have a pretty tight budget but anyways my current CPU is an amd a8 7600 i just want to know whether or not my cpu is going to bottleneck the card and im not planning to game on 1080p if that helps anything [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 09 Aug 2018 02:12 PM PDT So I've been looking at upgrading my computer recently, which hasn't had an real upgrades other than adding an SSD and more ram, since I built it in 2013. I'm currently running a Xeon E3-1230 V2 and two AMD 7970 GHz editions in crossfire. If I could only upgrade one, which one will give me the biggest boost in gaming performance? [link] [comments]  |
