| What does it physically take to build a pc? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:31 AM PST (apologies for any errors or incomprehensible sentences, English isn't my first language and I've never used reddit before) Hello everyone, I graduated (yay!) and just finished my first job. I have a degree in cinema sound engineering and sound design (cinema and video games). With the money from my last job, I can finally afford a proper PC, as until now, I've only owned laptops. The one I'm currently using is a ROG of pretty solid build, but unfortunately the graphic card broke down so it's running on its back-up one. Here's my issue: with the work I have to do (sound design, editing, mixing, etc.) and the games I play, my laptop is now a hindrance. I can't run most of my favourite games and where, before, I could open the softwares I need to work all at the same time, now if I dare open FL and Audition at the same time, the whole thing comes crashing down. I'm explaining all of that so you can get an idea on the type of PC build I'd need. So this is where you come in. I see I can't ask for a list of pieces, but that's a good thing because I'm worried about something else. I'm disabled. On a good day, I have partial use of my legs with excruciating pain. I'm not even discussing the bad days. I have no idea what it takes, physically, to build a PC. Is it heavy? Do I need to kneel, crouch, and stay in that position for a while? I have a lot of upper body strength, thanks to needing it to support myself, and I easily beat my family in that, but I can't crouch at all, I can kneel for under a minute before the pain is too much and I can stand with support for under ten minutes. Sitting is alright. Any weird position that involves my legs is going to be a problem. So I know I sound absolutely stupid asking if I need to crouch to build a PC, but I genuinely have no idea of the physics and I don't want to buy a bunch of stuff that I won't be able to build after (and no, currently, I can't ask for help in a timely manner, as I really need new equipment to be efficient in my work). So hum, yeah, I guess that's my question, do you think it's feasible for me to build a PC or would it be too hard, in which case, should I buy a complete one already? Thank you for your help, I'm glad this type of subreddits exist! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 43yo gamer a bit lost with the actual hardware choices :) Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:53 AM PST Edit : WOW ! I was lurking this subreddit for a long time and saw a bunch of people saying thank you to the community but I underestimated how great it was :) May I ask you to check if all the parts below fit together nicely and if I did not chose anything completely stupid ? :) It's now more or less 8 years since I built a computer and am a bit lost in the actual offer ... Second question, the GPU. I actually have a GTX 1070 8G and I am wondering if I keep that card or let the older computer "as is" for the kids and buy a new one for this config. Which one would you chose around 600€ ? I think it's the RTX 2070 Super around that price. Thank you very much in advance for your time and advices !

| Built my first PC this weekend. I'm surprised by how easy it was! Posted: 10 Feb 2020 06:11 AM PST Just wanted to thank this community for the help and guidance. I was able to put this together this past weekend and it was easier than I was anticipating. The most difficult part honestly was wiring the case fans and cable management! 2600X, RX580, ASRock B450 Steel Legend [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| First upgrade to my build: Arctic Freezer 34 eSport Duo Posted: 10 Feb 2020 09:15 AM PST https://i.imgur.com/tNtlwfM.jpg After 6 months I decided to change the stock AMD cooler for the Arctic Feezer eSports Duo.

When i booted the system everything lit up like it supposed to do. Spec list: - x570 - E gaming mobo - 2080 ti rog strix GPU - ryzen 9 3900 x processor - castle 360 AIO rgb cooler - trident z neo dual 16gb ram - corsair mp600 ssd The problem is That i get a no signal message on both of my monitors. I used the x570 - E gaming motherboard wich has on board trpubleshooting light and it is giving me code 14, 15 and c5 on the Q- code led and on board DRAM LED is yellow I tryed to switch the 2 RAMS too different slots 1 at a time becouse i saw a Reddit post with similar problems. Did not work tho. I was thinking i could have 2 faulty RAM sticks but could it be something else??

| Random PC shutoffs during games Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:38 PM PST
I have one 1444hz monitor, and I have two other cheap monitors set up that I use for other messaging services or youtube or whatever. My CPU has a tough time running this, so when I'm running a game like Destiny, I cap the FPS to about 100 and the CPU stays around 80%-100%. Recently, I've had an issue with my computer just completely stopping. It doesn't blue screen, it plays the last sound that played as a loud buzzing sound, and all my screens freeze, and I can only restart it by holding the button down. When I restart, it goes straight into my BIOS, and when I exit, my computer boots up just fine. Has anyone had any experience with something like this? It seems to only happen when I push my CPU more than usual, but I'm not pushing my computer for a much longer time, or harder than I have in the past.

| 1080p 144hz monitor under $250? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 01:15 AM PST As of now I'm planning on getting the Asus VG278Q for 239.00 USD. Is there a better monitor for less or is this the best under $250?

| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:10 PM PST Today I've built my first ever pc, and after multiple hours of trying to make it work, it just denies me the satisfaction of saying "I'm done". I have two main problems right now - the pc turns off with a dink noise randomly, and Windows doesn't seem to want to be installed. It did precisely that whilst I installed it on the pc the first time, and after I redownloaded the Windows installer tool the mobo tells me that it can't detect it on any drivers.

| Picked out parts to completely re-do my PC, any suggestions? Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:07 PM PST I don't need or want 4K Ultra settings gaming, just would like to run games at mid/high settings with 60 fps, Destiny 2, Apex Legends, Dark Souls series and just some other random games like nothing. Is this a pretty good rig or should I change some things? Let me know!

| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:06 PM PST I've been upgrading lately and the final upgrade to make my pc actually super good, is the gpu. I have a 2700x and rx560, but want to get the most powerful option under 600. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:03 PM PST Good day everyone and thanks for any input. I have an older Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 or 3.4 ghz Cyber Power game rig. I recently acquired a GeForce RTX 2070 and want to upgrade from the current RX 580. I already upgraded Ram to higher speed 16g set, but the board doesn't support the rated speed. I also have a M.2 SSD ready. I know that the PSU has to be replaced, it only has 1 8 pin power cable. Is there anything else you think needs upgraded? I don't play any crazy games, just the occasional Fallout4 and similar. I could spend 2 - 300 on either the CPU or motherboard, and don't see affording both for a while. I am also planning on a sound card in the near future for true surround sound and an Optical output jack. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 10 Feb 2020 03:53 PM PST I am building TRX40 workstation with the ASROCK CREATOR TRX40 MOTHERBOARD. I have big dilemma on which RAM to buy, I want through the QVL list of the mother board (https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/TRX40%20Creator/index.asp#Memory) I was hopping that I could buy 2 ram sticks of 16 gigabyte each, but this option doesnt seem to be in the QVL list (I was going to for: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) 3600 MHz ). The other two options are (both of which are on the QVL):
Any advice? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is the best graphic card for a build that's around ~ $1000 Posted: 10 Feb 2020 04:10 AM PST | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Victory from the jaws of defeat Posted: 09 Feb 2020 08:52 PM PST Today, I was building my first computer and fucked up. I was removing my Ryzen 3600 from a defective open box motherboard I got, and as I lifted the CPU heatsink I noticed in horror the CPU stuck onto the bottom. The thermal paste had held strong like superglue. Two of the CPU pins were bent way out of shape in the fray and I thought it was dead for sure. Armed with just my phone flashlight, and a thin flat head screwdriver, I pushed and pulled the pins, trying to set them upright. A few neighboring pins got accidentally bent and I wanted to give up.. After maybe an hour of careful pin wrangling, I was no longer able to tell which corner had bent pins, but I thought I must've broken the pin connectors by moving them around so much. Just for YOLO's sake though, I put it in and gave it a shot. And I can't believe my luck it worked on the first try! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
