A winner has been selected. We asked you to tell us about your experiences of helping or being helped on /r/buildapc, and you delivered. With around 5000 entries to sort through, our jaded moderation team has been overwhelmed into feeling emotion again thanks to your tales of wholesome community engagement and assistance. Without further ado, we're happy to announce that the winner of the card is /u/Switchen with their answer: This subreddit is my go-to when I have nothing to do. I love to prowl new posts and help those that have troubleshooting issues. Some of them are simple fixes, but there are plenty where a more in-depth troubleshooting conversation has to happen. I can't nail down any specific interaction on here, but my favorite thing ever is to have the OP come back with something like, "It works! Thanks so much!" Building a PC the first time can be stressful, so it's great to be able to help these new builders out. Congratulations /u/Switchen and thanks to NVIDIA for their generosity on this - check out the card and other chances to win via Nvidia's twitter and their #RTXON campaign. For the 5000-odd rest of you, all is not lost. Enter our Zotac giveaway now for the chance to win an i5 9600k / RTX 2060 PC.

| Best buy has all these parts ready, I'm really anxious but need your help/advice. Posted: 29 Feb 2020 01:42 PM PST https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YBqbyk Would I be good with this build to game and do normal computer tasks? I also have an online class with just an Ebook and some "live" videos. I'm trying to not be impulsive but it'd be awesome to go grab this and put it together tonight. Or should I swap some things out and just order and wait for a better PC [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Is Anyone bought an B450m with a ryzen 3rd Gen ? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 12:04 PM PST I dont want to flash my motherboard with another cpu. Can anyone tell me if they bought this motherboard and will it be ready for Ryzen 5 3600 out of the box.

| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:34 PM PST Hello all! I was planning on buying a new cooler for my 9700k and was having some concerns. I currently have a 120mm aio for my CPU that I was going to put on my GPU with an NZXT mount after my new CPU cooler comes. My main concern is space. I only have a 200mm size opening in the top and can only fit 2x120mm fans in the front. I was worried that if I got a 240mm and put it in the front it would increase temps significantly. I also don think that a air cooler would fit well since I want to keep my old cooler installed for my GPU. Should i go for a smaller air cooler? Would an 240mm aio in the front affect my temps negatively? PC pic: (sorry for the bad quality) Forgot to add that I was planning on overclocking that is the main reason for the upgrade. Thanks!

| How do you store old pc parts? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 02:45 PM PST Hey guys new here! Just tore down my first pc and will be salvaging some parts for the next build. I want to keep the cpu and ram as both are being replaced but am curious how you guys (if at all) properly store "old" components no longer being utilized but that you want to keep. FYI: I no longer have the original box for the ram nor the clamshell container for the cpu. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Upgrade current machine or build a new one? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 02:08 PM PST I've been debating between upgrading my current build or building a new machine and I was hoping you all could help. I haven't stayed super up to date with cards or processors so am not really sure what's out there at the moment. The PC works well for the most part. I have had some weird RAM issues but none for awhile. It has an A2 boot error that it hangs on for a second but it boots up quickly every time. I was recently editing some giant still image files that it has a bit of trouble with, which is what made me think of this upgrade vs build. I use the PC for gaming, editing, motion graphics, and compositing. I do a lot of work in 4k and heavy image work, so I want the PC to perform that well as well as play games on high graphics and all that. I've been thinking about upgrading the RAM and getting a 1tb SSD. current build: MB: MSI z97 gaming 5 Processor: Intel i7 4790k @4.00 GHz RAM: 16gb DDR3 SDRAM GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Storage: SATA 250gb SSD, SATA 500GB SSD, 2tb 5400RPM hdd [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Helping Friend Build A Computer Posted: 29 Feb 2020 01:42 PM PST My friend wants to build a budget amd build and needs some help picking parts i setup a list but could use a second opinion myself.

| Is it worthwhile for me to upgrade ram? Posted: 29 Feb 2020 01:34 PM PST when I built my PC I used a single stick of 16gb DDR4 2400Megaherts ram. This works just fine normally but lately I have been getting into Minecraft again and when I play Minecraft It will struggle to load chunks on time and it will take longer than usual to render frames. I have heard that this is a RAM related issue with Minecraft and when I overclocked my RAM to 2666Megaherts I experienced a performance boost. Is it worthwhile to upgrade my RAM to a duel stick (2x 8gb) 3000Megaherts? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| New gaming build, hoping for second opinions. Posted: 29 Feb 2020 01:10 PM 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. Gaming primarily, internet usage/watching videos second. Not 4k, not VR, no streaming. I'm not in a particular rush if there are releases/price drops expected within the next few months. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Highest requirement title is probably Star Citizen. Due to limited desk space won't be running more than 3x 1080 screens, likely 1-2. Other games include The Division 2, and possibly Borderlands 3/Metro/Outer Worlds. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? Aiming for the $1000-$1500 range, possibly including a new screen to replace the 21" ASUS I'm using. In what country are you purchasing your parts? USA. I have some gift cards for Amazon that I'm trying to use as well 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!). Mainly checking if there's any big issues.
Provide any additional details you wish below. The last time I updated my gaming machine was in 2012, so I'm quite unfamiliar with the current hardware. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wifi Motherboard Reccomendations for First time PC builder Posted: 29 Feb 2020 10:54 AM PST So I am looking into building my first PC with something like a ryzen 3 3200g and a 1650 super, and I was looking for an ATX Motherboard that included wifi and/or a wifi adapter that would support 16GB Dual Channel RAM, and second or third gen Ryzen. Any reccomendations would be much appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| PC can't come back on after sleep Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:35 PM PST Hi so I recently built a new PC but noticed a problem with it. If I leave for a while and it goes into sleep, or if I put it into sleep / shut down from the windows menu, then when I boot it up again it gets stuck or something. No signal to monitors, no bluetooth, my keyboard doesn't even connect which I can tell because none of the caps lock / num lock, lights come on. The only fix to get out of this is to hold down the power button and then after it turns off press the power button again to turn it back on. It works but it's really annoying having to restart my computer every time I get back to it. If anyone knows how I can fix this, please let me know. Thanks! My specs are: PCPartPicker Part List

| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:32 PM PST I got my PC Parts a week on February 20th, and decided to build it today. Whenever I power on it doesn't display on my monitor, and says no signal, then turns to a black screen. . My parts are: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/bsdFCL. (I'm planning to buy the SSD next week, and other parts in a month or two.) I've consulted the manual, resetted the CMOS, and made sure everything was plugged into the right place. Any tips or solutions to solve my problems?? btw, i know my cable management isnt really the best. its my first time building a pc and i just came from console [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| RGB sync question (NZXT and Gigabyte) Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:29 PM PST Hi there! I'm planning to build my first rgb ITX PC with an NZXT H210i. I would use 2 AER RGB Fans and a Kraken X52. The rgb of those would sync up using CAM. But here is the question, I've been looking for the Gigabyte 2060 Super OC 3X (or Gaming X 2060 super). Those GPUs have RGB. And the mobo would be an MSI Z390i or Aorus Z390i Pro (don't know which one should I choose). The RAM is from Corsair RGB (so no problem there with RGB Fusion or Mystic Light compatibility) But how can I sync up the rgb from NZXT and the rgb from Gigabyte RGB Fusion? Just like this video https://youtu.be/pfxX0MuUdYA Please give me your opinion about which RTX 2060 Super (MSI or Gigabyte) and Mobo should I choose Thanks in advance!

| Monitor for Dell Optiplex 7010 Posted: 29 Feb 2020 04:28 PM PST So I have a Dell Optiplex 7010 that I game on. And it does really well. Other than the fact that sometimes my monitor goes off for like 2seconds and then back on again and I have no idea why. It hasn't done that in game yet but mostly if I just leave the FiveM page open while I'm doing something else or sometimes it'll do that or if I'm in Adobe Illustrator. Any ideas why?? My monitor is new, the HDMI cable attached to the tower and monitor is new. Here are what's in my tower just in case that helps somehow... i5 Core 16gb ram GTX1050 ti 4gb Windows 10 [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Feb 2020 09:39 AM PST I was wondering if someone could possibly give me a little advice. I was looking to make a few upgrades to my PC and I am going to be switching from Intel to AMD. I don't know a whole lot about AMD so I was looking for a little help. I currently have an I5-8400 and was curious as to what AMD processor I should pick up. I was looking at either the 2700x or 3700x. I have the money to go with the 3700x I'm just not sure if I actually need that though. It is mainly for gaming and I rarely do anything super intensive. I'm wondering if it would just be smart to go with the 3700x so I can just have it for the future. Thanks to anyone that helps and if you have any other suggestions besides those two processors please share. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
