| Built my first PC ever last weekend, "The Duke". Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:04 AM PST So I will just start of with some pictures because I know that's what you all want to see the most! The specs are as follows: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
A little background info about the build and what my previous PC was. I ran a i5-3450 with a GTX 960 prior to this and it got me pretty well through most games for a while with getting 60FPS on low/medium mostly. I used to be ok with these settings but always had a dream of building a monster PC myself with very high-end specs so I would be able to run games on ultra with 144 FPS+ since I currently mostly play FPS games. After finishing this new build this weekend I must say it does feel damn glorious. Not only does the PC in itself look great with all the RGB stuff, it runs like a goddamn beast. I couldn't have asked for anything better honestly and I'm very pleased with all the choices I have made for the parts. I also want to thank /r/buildapc as a community for all the good reads and tips for building a PC, this has definitely helped me with choosing parts and tweaking stuff in my system! Edit: Yes, I know I'm using a 1080p screen currently. My main game at this moment is Black Ops 4 (Blackout) and this game is quite demanding. Pushing a consistent 144fps+ would be hard on 1440p. I do however plan to get a 1440p in the future! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Current build just died; Been a while since I've built my own... Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:48 AM PST Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Content creation in Adobe suite, MS Office, Gaming, Streaming, other work applications If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) I'm re-using a GTX 1060. It works for my needs. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? $1,000 (flexible) In what country are you purchasing your parts? USA - I live near a Microcenter and plan to buy all necessary parts from there Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).
Provide any additional details you wish below. Current i7-2700 build from 2012 is now officially dead. Tl;dr - Tried everything and it's likely the cpu or mobo. I am re-using an Nvidia 1060 card, Corsair 750w PSU, sound card, monitors, keyboard, and mouse.

| minimum GPU & CPU to comofrtably get 240fps in CS Posted: 30 Jan 2019 08:58 AM PST Hey guys what would you suggest is the minimum CPU and GPU combo to enjoy CS:GO in 240fps (for a 240hz monitor) in both 720p and 1080p on medium settings, i currently play 720p on a gaming laptop but an insight on this would be useful, thanks :) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:58 AM PST After the final parts arrived today is was finally able to complete my build. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the result, and the thing I'm most proud of with this build is the cable managament, since my previous build was actually just all of the wires jammed in the back compartiment, making the panel bulge out. This time I tried to improve that and I think it worked out really well. The point for this build was to have it powerful, but not too loud aswell. Some parts I took from my previous build, like videocard and storage. Please tell me what you think about it and if there is anything I can improve, let me know! PicturesAirflowI placed 3 intake Arctic F12 Silent fans in the front, removing the small cover to be able to place the bottom one. The fourth F12 Silent fan acts as an exhaust at the back of the cause. As CPU cooler I use the Arctic Freezer 33 Esports One, and I added a second fan to it, that came with the case itself. Overclock and thermalsI overclocked the Ryzen 5 2600 to 4.0 GHz and 1.3 Voltage. After about 20 minutes of stress testing, the temperature maxed out at 65 C (,which i think is ok?). This yielded me these geekbench results: Single-Core 4632 Multi-Core 22490. Could anybody tell me if this is up to par?

| PC Build for 1080p60fps with $700 budget Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:17 AM PST Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. PC Gaming If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1080p @ 60fps on High settings. I mainly play Rocket League, don't play a lot of FPS shooters. I do like Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed, Tomb Raider, and those types of games occasionally. I'm a patient gamer so I don't need the latest and best AAA games. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? Around $700. In what country are you purchasing your parts? US Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below. I was given the case as a present, so I already have that. I already have a 1080p monitor, mouse, mechanical keyboard, etc. I'm looking at the 2200G so I can use the onboard graphics while I save up for the 580 (probably at least another 3 months). From what I've read, the built-in cooler for the 2200G should be fine. I currently have a laptop that can barely can get 30fps on Rocket League and can't run the other games I mentioned, so I would like to get started on this build ASAP which is why I'm going the 2200g route. I also may throw in another 8GB RAM, but that would likely be later this year. I'm not an overclocker and have no interest in that aspect of a build. I'm interested in any input on something I may have overlooked. I've built a PC before, but it's been a few years, so I just learned about M.2 and such. Thanks for any input. PS - I may dualboot Windows 10/Linux Mint, if that makes any difference. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Upgrading i5-6500 CPU mainly used for flight simulation Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:52 PM PST Hello, I am planning to upgrade the CPU of my current build and would love to get some feedback about my insights. I need a CPU with a very good single core performance. After doing some research I came to the conclusion, that there are (at least) two options:
What do you guys recommend? What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. I do a lot of flight simulation (X-Plane 11), which is unfortunately not very well optimized for multi-threading, and rather relies on a very good single core performance to achieve framerates above 25 on 1440p or UHD. Aside from games I use my computer for software developing, which involves another CPU intense task named compiling source code. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) I am using a 28'' UHD monitor and aiming for 60 FPS (not necessarily in UHD). As being said, my plan is to upgrade my CPU only. I am still happy with my R9 390. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? Around 400 € In what country are you purchasing your parts? Germany My current build PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Do you think that will work out? Can I reuse my current DDR4-2666 RAM? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:36 AM PST I'm trying to build a computer, I have a parts list but I am looking for some feedback as it is my first ever build. Any feedback would be appreciated! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:24 PM PST https://m.imgur.com/gallery/37uuchM - this is the current state when it turns on it stays white, I have tried changing all different cable inputs to my computer. I have another monitor atm on my computer so I made sure it wasn't my computer and it's just the monitor. Any help would be appreciated :( [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Almost Ready to order, but need help choosing CPU Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:08 PM PST Hi everyone, I am almost ready to start ordering parts but i am stuck deciding between CPU's. I will mostly be using this build for gaming but I want to be able to get +120 fps on most of the games that i play i.e Fortnite, Overwatch, Battlefield. I will also be using it as a work computer as my girlfriend is a lawyer. With my other parts selected do you think that i would be better off getting the i5 9600 or the i7 8700. Also, will I need 3 separate fans or would I be okay with 2 [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it safe to put other electronics in your PC case for visuals? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 07:41 AM PST I'm working on a PC build and I'm at the point where I'm deciding my aesthetic. I've seen a lot of posts about putting action figures in your PC case for visuals, and I really want to put some kind of small pattern light projector in mine. I'm worried that having another small electronic in there might lead to some problems though. I've looked around and haven't seen any posts about this. Can any seasoned builders out there say if this is safe to do or not? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Want to run an RTX 2060 with an XG2402 (freesync) Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:49 AM PST So after months I finally have my build completely picked out, and I just put two in two together that the RTX is obviously Nvidia and the viewsonic xg2402 supports free sync, not gsync. Is there any way to still tap into the free sync capabilities of this monitor with this graphics card ? If not, is there a free sync supporting graphics card that can come close to the performance of the RTX 2060 for around the same price point ($350-370)? Any info is appreciated!

| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:44 PM PST Hey everyone, I haven't built a system in about 10-12 years, and haven't done a lot of PC gaming but have been really wanting to get back into it. I was hoping you guys could take a look at the hardware I was looking at and any feedback would be appreciated. I'm trying to stay under about 3k, so I do have some flexibility. I am also considering swapping the GPU for the Radeon VII, since it's getting released next week and I've seen some reviews on them. Thanks!

| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 11:44 AM PST Hey guys I have Team Vulcan 3000MHz DDR4. It was 2x4GB sticks and I just added 2 more 4 GB sticks. Exact same RAM. It wouldn't post at 3000MHz but when set to the default 2400MHz it posted fine. Any reason why? I have the ASUS B450M-A mobo. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| After 4 years of owning a hand-me-down PC, I was finally able to build my own... Posted: 29 Jan 2019 09:13 PM PST And it's beautiful ;w; (especially compared to the old one.. >-<) So this is actually my first build, and I'm surprised at how well it went! I mean it took nearly 12 hours from start to finish (2 just getting the RGB to work correctly! x.x) but overall it went very smoothly and I can't wait to put it to the test! ^ Picture of it up and running: Specs: Fractal - Meshify C TG Mid-tower ATX It may not be perfect, or top of the line...but it's my very first, and I'm in love with it. ^ (P.S. I'm a long time lurker, first time poster here, and I just wanted to thank everyone for the awesome tips I picked up along the way! :D) EDIT: As I mentioned, this is my first ever build and I am very much a noob at this, so if there's anything that I can improve upon, please let me know!

| Upgrading motherboard and CPU, Do I need to get a fresh copy of Windows 10 Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:49 PM PST I am replacing my old motherboard and 3750k to a new i9 and Z390 board. I've Google to mixed messages wether or not I need to get a fresh windows license or not. I was part of the windows 7 upgrade to 10 for free. The windows 7 verison I had was window 7 enterprise that I had gotten a key from my friend who worked at a computer shop. Thanks in advanced.

| Looking for upgrade options on ram and gpu Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:45 PM PST Yall helped me build my first PC some years back and im finally getting around to a long overdue upgrade. I dont know whats compatible with my build tho. Currently sitting at: I5 4460 3.2 2x4g ripjaw ram Gt730 nvidia H81M rgs asus micro atx Evga bronze 600 power supply. I know my stuff is really out of date but im a poor boy. I would like to find some options to most importantly upgrade my graphics card, and hopefully expand my ram. 60fps isnt nessecary but i would like to at least be able to play current games on low settings without having a seizure from the stuttering. Thanks for the help! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Which RTX 2060 is the best for temps/thermal/noise? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:39 PM PST I'm about to get an RTX 2060 card, but I'm not sure which one to get. In Canada, it's currently going for around $500. I'm debating between the MSI Ventus OC (2 fan) or the gigabyte g1 oc (3 fan) which is only $15 more expensive. From reviews, I'm getting that gigabyte has quite a bad reputation, but in this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I-DXzX8CAUI The MSI shows higher temps, and has a plastic backplate. While the gigabyte shows low fan noise, and low temps. I'm also considered about any coil whining, and any potential artifacting. Any suggestions?

| Need help. Does front panel audio jack need to "click" to motherboard or just loosely connect? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:39 PM PST No one told me build a pc is this hard!! 🙁 Had a similar problem with 8pin cpu power. It clicked after 30 minutes of trying. But i knew it needed to click by the way it is designed. But now Im not sure for front panel audio. What about usb 2.0 connector?

| Can I format my HDD where it erases everything except Windows? [Intel to AMD] Posted: 30 Jan 2019 10:22 AM PST I am in the process of going from Intel to AMD cpu and I heard you can't use the same HDD with windows installed. Can I do a format that erases everything except Windows so I can use it on an AMD cpu/mb? Is that format called anything specific? Or do I need to completely erase my HDD, windows and all...?

| Posted: 30 Jan 2019 12:26 PM PST Ok, so yesterday I posted a link to parts for my new PC. I got some suggestions what can I improve. So i did. Here is the link with improvements: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2VGxq4 Is it ok? Does it need some more improvements? Thanks.

| Final checking before buying a build. Is this alright? Posted: 30 Jan 2019 04:12 PM PST Here is the build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/x3yqMZ . I am building this for a cousin and he is expressing not buying used. He will be gaming at 720p at 60 FPS on light games. I have an ssd already. How is this build?
