| It's not much, but I built it from scratch and couldn't be happier with it! Posted: 02 May 2021 04:35 AM PDT http://imgur.com/gallery/Kvnad8w After struggling with my old Ubuntu powered Lenovo I rescued from work (e5500, 4gig of ram, slow ass HDD etc) I decided to spend a bit of my hard earned on a new PC so when my kids come round on the weekend we can enjoy a bit of Minecraft/Roblox at more than 20fps. I myself only really play two games, Runescape and Beamng, and my trusty workhorse was really showing its age. I don't have alot of money to spare on a new toy so I knew it wouldn't be super powerful but I wanted to build it myself. Specs and prices are: Ryzen 3 3200g on an MSI A320m pro (£144 bundle) Hyper X fury 2x8gb (£60) Kingston 256gb SSD (£30) Aerocool 550w psu (£30) RGB fans and controller to please the kids! (£25) ionz case (£29) Second hand iilyama monitor (£30) It's not the most powerful machine by any means but I'm getting 60-70 fps on Beamng and 50-60 fps on runescape, so much much better than I was getting from my old POS! I plan on upgrading to a Ryzen 5 and a half decent GPU at some point but for now this little rig keeps a big smile on my face. I built it, I'm proud of it. Also a massive thank you to the buildapc community, I've been reading and searching this subreddit for ages before I built it and I couldn't have done it without all you guys amazing knowledge.

| Posted: 02 May 2021 12:30 AM PDT my dad insists on getting parts from it to build a gaming pc but like how ? its been stuck in storage since 2009 and i doubt it even works anymore lol EDIT: THANK YOU ALL FOR THE NICE RESPONSES :D it's my first time posting here so i didn't really know what kind of reaction i would get. coincidentally, he works auto loans in one of the big banks in my country, so i'll be sure to use the car analogies :D [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2021 04:50 AM PDT Well,. Sort of.. My friend had asked me to borrow my PC while I was a way for a month, didn't mind, and he just got diagnosed with covid today. I'm expected to be back next week and could use my PC. Any suggestions on how to "retrieve it" and also disenfect it. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2021 10:04 AM PDT Finally finished my first build after months of waiting for the GPU. https://imgur.com/gallery/kIHcfEQ Thanks everyone for support! Cheers! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2021 07:14 AM PDT Hey all, I currently have a 500 GB m.2 ssd and a 500 gb sata ssd. What my question is do I upgrade to lets say a 2tb m.2 nvme and take out the m.2 I already own, or just get another sata ssd to add to the other two storage devices. My main uses are gaming and college work thank you! [link] [comments]  |

| How does the inside of a microSD card look? Posted: 02 May 2021 02:08 PM PDT Is it like a NAND package soldered/bonded to a PCB? I'm really curious, I know how a standard SD card looks like inside. [link] [comments]  |
| What's better for a PC noob to start with to play basic games? Laptop or PC? Posted: 02 May 2021 03:01 PM PDT Hi! So I'm trying to get a device to play games as schools coming to an end, but I was wondering. For just like, CSGO, Minecraft, Warframe, Warzone, and those games, what would be the cheaper and better experience? Getting a laptop, or a desktop? I've got around $700 to spend, but also might sell my iPad Pro or some other devices to trade/buy one. Mostly because of the absurd prices of graphic cards and cpus... [link] [comments]  |

| Best 27" 1440p work monitor with no gaming frills like 144 hertz refresh rate Posted: 02 May 2021 02:59 PM PDT No 144 hertz monitor please Only game I play is League and I mostly just want to do work and consume media. What are some good work monitors(price is not a big concern) that offer the best work experience. I don't want to pay for premium gaming experience. [link] [comments]  |
| After crash PC won't POST. problems since switching to RTX 3070 until now system finally failed. Posted: 02 May 2021 08:37 AM PDT SPECS: MOTHERBOARD: ASUS ROG Strix Z270H Gaming ATX w/ USB 3.1, 3 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1, 6 SATA3, 2 M.2 SATA/PCIe CPU: Intel(R) Core™ Processor i5-7600K 3.80GHZ 6MB RAM: 2x8GB (EVO Potenza, budget ram from CyberPower in 2016) POWERSUPPLY: 650 Watts - Corsair CSM Series CS650M 80 Plus Gold GPU: MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 3x CURRENT ISSUE, NO POST: PC crashed mid gaming (CSGO). Freeze to black screen. When I power on PC, case fans start, HDD's power on but no ASUS ROG logo splash screen, no POST, no way to reach BIOS. Monitor will wake up, 10 seconds later a screen flickers bright black followed by dark brown and finally black, then monitor goes to sleep Couldn't find any similar instances when googling around, does this look familiar to anyone? the flickering: https://imgur.com/gallery/VmIZQHf System frequently had issues waking from sleep since two months back. Sometimes I wouldn't see the issue for days. Hypothesis: Initially I thought it was PSU problem, but borrowed friends spare Corsair SF600 Platinum and same issue occurs. Leads me to believe it is Motherboard issue TROUBLESHOOT ATTEMPTS: I've tried it all, unplugging individual components to see if anything was prohibiting system from POST. On my first few troubleshoot restarts, USB power was available (Mouse/KB lights were on). Many restarts later and USB ports have NO power now. I think first few restarts pc tried to post too, spinning loading circles but no MOBO logo. When I remove ram, mobo is still able to detect missing ram and gives the proper yellow LED. Tried HDMI for both GPU and motherboard and both produce the same screen flickers.
ISSUES I NOTICED SINCE UPGRADING GPU: Lucky enough to have snagged a 3070 in February. Ever since I swapped out by 1050 ti, my PC has had issues waking up from sleep. I tinkered around with Windows hybrid sleep settings but that wasn't it. I would try to wake from sleep and monitors would turn on for a second and then go to sleep, system would never wake but power was running. I would be forced to force restart. At the same time I upgraded GPU, I also enabled an Intel Optane Boot Drive, m.2 on my mobo, that was included in my original build but I never activated/used. Though removing the Optane drive during my troubleshoots did not affect the outcome. I'm wondering if maybe the change in GPU may have shorted or affected power consumption in the system. Also is this any indication of issues with the CPU? Thank you so much for giving this post a read, any information could definitely help me diagnose this problem! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2021 07:03 AM PDT Just as the title says, no matter the game I'm Playing, the usage of both my GPU and CPU are very low, whilst I'm not even getting close to 144FPS (my monitor hz-rate). The following screenshot was taken at 70FPS which would be fine, but it also drops to 40 a fair amount of times. https://imgur.com/a/CbfZ9Vz SPECS: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Prozessor 16 GP RAM EDIT: Here is a USERBENCHMARK https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/42624984 UserBenchmark was actually able to use 99% of the GPU. The first time anything was able to do that. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 02 May 2021 11:18 AM PDT I'm trying to install a 2nd ram stick to my build, it all runs fine with either stick but when I try to put them both in (slots DIMM A2 and B2) fans fire up etc but I don't get any output through display port or HDMI. I've struggled finding a fix online so anyone had this issue? If it matters they're Corsair Vengeance LPX sticks [link] [comments]  |
| Adding more ram or replacing it? Posted: 02 May 2021 09:30 AM PDT I have 1 stick of G.Skill ddr4 Aegis 16gb 2400mhz and I'm thinking about getting one more ram stick so it can run dual channel. My motherboard can support max 2933mhz and I have overclocked the ram to same speed. I understand that 2 sticks of ram can boost performance because of dual channel. Should i get 1 same ram or should I change my ram to 2 8gb sticks? [link] [comments]  |

| Build Help: Added two extra 8GB sticks of RAM to my PC. Hasn't booted since. Posted: 02 May 2021 08:57 AM PDT Hello all, I'm been tinkering around with my PC for the past couple of hours now with no results, and would really love some help. My PC was built roughly 4 years ago, had the occasional blue screen as most do, but all in all worked great. Recently, I've gotten two "MEMORY MANAGEMENT" blue screens consecutively, and always found that my PC was running with 85%+ RAM being used. As a fix, I thought it best to upgrade to 32GB of RAM, and hopefully solve all issues (PC was also getting slower). Here is where the issues start. I bought a different RAM set to the one I already had in my PC, and my PC didn't boot after the new RAM was installed. Assuming I got faulty RAM, or it was incompatible with my MOBO, I took out both new sticks and tried to boot again with only my original RAM installed. However, the PC wouldn't/still wont boot. I tried only using 1 stick of RAM, in multiple dim slots, with no success. All fans and LEDs turn on, however the "Boot" EZ Debug light is on. I assume my storage drives are not the issue as I have tried to boot with each one of them unplugged with no success. My GPU is somewhat new but has had no issues so far. I'm somewhat at a loss for how I can get the PC to boot again, and am slightly stressed due to having files for work on there too. If anyone could provide help that would be fantastic, thank you in advance! PC Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 GPU: RTX 3060Ti Mobo: MSI B350M Tomahawk Old RAM: Gskillz Ripjaws (2*8GB) - 3000mhz New RAM: Hyperx Predator (2*8GB) - 3200mhz EDIT: Resetting the CMOS using JBAT1 and then underclocking the new RAM to match my old RAM's speed before booting with all 4 sticks in solved my issue. Thanks to everyone that helped! [link] [comments]  |
| Intel CPU equivalent to Ryzen 5600x. Posted: 02 May 2021 04:15 PM PDT I am going to build this pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Baator/saved/3GMxcf Since I am not willing to buy the 3070 with the current prices and I need a new pc, I was thinking of buying the rest of the stuff and just wait for the gpu prices to drop. If I went the Intel way though, and got a cpu with integrated graphics for now, which one would you suggest? I am thinking that the i5-11400 is quite a lot worse than the 5600x, right? 11600 perhaps? Something else? Assuming that I don't currently care for games, but when I get the 3070 in the future, the cpu won't hold me back. I basically want the closest thing I can get to 5600x, but with integrated graphics. [link] [comments]  |
| Was it a bad idea to buy a $3000 Origin PC due to GPU shortage? Posted: 02 May 2021 04:01 PM PDT I spilled water on my old case which has holes at the top and the water fried my 3070 super. I did make most of the money from stocks and crypto but I still feel a bit silly. Gaming is one of the only way to stay in contact with my friends who live quite far away and I was gettinga bit depressed not being able to game with them. I'll attach the specs in an image. Let me know what you guys think. Also I was wondering if this is capable of mining bitcoin or ethereum so if anyone knows I'd appreciate some advice. Thanks in advance. [link] [comments]  |
| What was the last Intel cpu family/generation that can be manually overclocked? Posted: 02 May 2021 03:45 PM PDT I had a 3rd Gen i5 that I could overclock to hell and back I have a 1st gen i5 that is still overclocked from 3.2 to 4.0 and still running I miss those days. The challenge of getting the right voltage,timing, etc to get most out of the chip. What was the last Gen Intel where you could do that? My daughter had a 4th gen and I overclocked it. Dont like this "Intel knows what is best for me" way of overclocking. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Will the Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition be enough for my 5600x? Posted: 02 May 2021 10:41 AM PDT I currently have the stock Wraith Stealth cooler and I'm looking to upgrade to a Cooler Master Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition. Will the 212 be enough for a 5600x? I have a Deepcool Matrexx 55 as my case. [link] [comments]  |
| Building my first system for dad with about $550 budget, does this look good? Posted: 02 May 2021 03:26 PM PDT https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Z99PkX These are the parts that I've ended up with, plan on buying some fans so that's not included. Does this look good? CAD prices btw Thank you [link] [comments]  |
| PC won’t work after upgrading CPU Posted: 02 May 2021 03:22 PM PDT Hello! I am stressing out since I just put a brand new 5800x CPU into my computer, upgrading from a 2700x, and I am unable to get it to produce any video output. Specifically, when I press the power button the fans rev up to full speed and everything has the RGB lighting on. RAM, GPU, MOBO, Fans, everything. But it just won't produce any video output and the fans stay on high the whole time it is turned on. Specs: -GPU EVGA RTX 3080 -MOBO: Rog Strix x470 gaming -CPU: 5800X -RAM: G.SKILL RGB 16G DDR4 3200 X4 -Super Flower platinum SE 1000W Troubleshooting: - So far I have tried to re apply the thermal paste after a re-socket of the CPU with the same outcome as described above. If anyone has any ideas or insights, I would love to hear it. Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Is it possible to build a super-cheap "League of Legends" machine at the moment? Posted: 02 May 2021 03:05 PM PDT I'm a LoL addict and I've been playing on a cheap laptop for the past ~3 years or so. I never felt the need to get a half-decent PC since all I needed it to do was run League at 60 FPS. However recently my laptop seems to be slowing down and the client becomes so laggy sometimes that the game is almost unplayable, so I think I need a new computer. Can I build something in the $400-500 range right now or is it not possible with all the shortages? [link] [comments]  |
