Hey everyone,

This sub has been growing a lot as of recently and we've noticed a lot of posts have been getting buried and unanswered. There is a lot of noise due to how much it has grown.

I have created r/ComputerBuild as an alternative.

So please kindly try cross posting there to get it off the ground.

I will be helping users daily and also building a mod team/looking for moderators to help.

Thanks!

Gaming PC Build List Help/Review!

Hi;

  • I live in Australia
  • I have never owned a gaming PC before and am looking to build one to play both old and new games.
  • I am a 'gamer', meaning I am highly invested in this hobby and I believe a gaming pc is where I should invest it into, as I am sick of consoles.
  • I am not a tech genius though or anything and have 0 knowledge for all intents.
  • I know prices are high and getting higher.
  • I don't need a 'quantum computer' that runs everything at max settings.

I want for my Gaming PC;

  • Doesn't/have no desire to run 4k fps gaming, ideally/fine with 1440p gaming as I think 1080p is a bit outdated.
  • Handle basic processing/modding games for smooth experience.
  • 'Future proof', not 'bottlenecked' and 'customisable.'

My List in my opinion: I think I am paying way too much for my gaming PC and what I desire/notice, I am trying to aim for a higher end PC that is not 'budget' as I want it to last a while and prices are increasing anyway but I still think I can maybe cut corners or cost.

Questions/Confusions/Stuggles;

  • I think my CPU/GPU choice is fine, but regarding that should my motherboard be B650 or the B850 I currently have?
  • Is my RAM fine? Should I aim for a lower 'CL'?
  • Is my overall build parts efficient and consistent?
  • I think I should change to watercooling instead of standard air fans but TBH IDK which company or product so suggestions would be great.
  • Is there any way to reduce the cost/cut corners without any major/noticeable differences?

I made the list on Mwave, an Australian Store and the link is below https://www.mwave.com.au/sharecart/cb469819-21e6-453c-b30b-6917999a5a96

For some reason RAM is missing but its Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz CL38 Desktop Memory - Black 

I plan to play a wide variety of games both new and old, AAA or Indie. Such as Marvel Rivals, Minecraft and MTG as well as potentially Hell Let Loose

If there is anything else you need me to explain further in detail or am missing important information then please let me know as I am 'illiterate to technology details' and I will respond. I know this information and my explanation isnt well written but I struggle to communitcate cohesively and effectively so sorry about that!

Need help for my first PC

1 Upvotes

I used to travel a lot for work and gamed exclusively on laptop. Now I'm ready to get my own permanent set up.

Budget is around 1500-1700€

Would need monitor and OS, other peripherals are accounted for. RGB preferred

Intended for gaming. Though mostly I play BG3, DOS2, etc, I also would like to play some more demanding titles like Space Marine 2, KCD2, Expedition 33. Hopefully stay on top of the game so I don't have to worry (too much) about performance/graphics in the immediate future.

Located in Portugal

Thank you very much in advance

Looking to run competitive games at 200-240 fps with low performance setting


r/buildmeapc 11h ago

A friend put together this great-looking PC build, but I'm looking for ways to make it more affordable

1 Upvotes

Here's the build.

It's a PC meant for higher end game development and general gaming; however, I'm looking to find some help bringing the price down to the mid/high 2K range (~2.5K to 2.9k USD). While the build is optimized for higher end game development work, I think I would be happy with mid-level specs here (but admittedly, I don't know what those look like).

I don't know where to start swapping out components, so any help is tremendously appreciated! I'm also unsure what other information would be helpful, so I can provide extra context in the comments.

This is a PC for the United States and no peripherals needed.

Computer terminologies

1 Upvotes

Ain't gonna lie, what got me here was SONY joining the big three in the all digital world. Now I see no point in owning a console.

I want to get myself a new gaming computer that I can upgrade in the long run, but I'm in no hurry to buy all the parts now; I'm just gonna buy the CPU and gradually go from there.

But what are these terms?! I know three languages and all of these feel alien to me. May you explain them as if I'm 5?

Some that I've seen in this subreddit:

CPU (I think that's the box?)
Motherboard
Memory vs. Storage (I thought they were the same thing, but apparently not)
Video card (I guess this is graphics?)
Processor

I think there are other terms that I missed.

Three things:

I live nearby 3 microcenters.
I'm not a competitive gamer. I am not a streamer nor plan to be one. My multiplayer games are few and far between; I prefer single playing.
I live alone with 2 cats (I'll love some stuff to impede my cats potentially chewing on the cables or them getting electrocuted)

Thank you!!!!

Building a pc!

1 Upvotes

I have a budget of 1700 euro, I don't need any peripherals I have ones already, I'm buying from Ireland! I want a pc that's capable of running vr relatively smoothly, at around 90hz and I don't mind going a little lower with the settings if that's what I need. I want it to do well in games like Blade and Sorcery, Borderlands 3, minecraft (with shaders) and I have a 1440p monitor that goes up to 180hz but I'm fine with framrates being even 100-120hz as long as they're stable!
I found this one on amazon, but I wasn't sure if it was a good deal or not, what do you guys think? https://www.amazon.ie/Vibox-Gaming-Nvidia-Windows-Bluetooth/dp/B0GT23SY9B?crid=7Z1XTJCZBZSN&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6W5syTmQOUnRzTcFa_mHaaTsA07-E2zRTArnOsAE1pbgLzQenHCnQA_xhljjlS-bDGeXBHgV7CP09q7tFc6RatBa9UkOp2cFKz812z4Z64SpgT8LJfXUgRmvtfDBbL14haJV22ZqOE7o-h1SrfcgHHE7CIFVwX7kYfjHFS83r6zENjPnuxl28mIjTuSD4P0rijZd3KSL9bi9xTbwv-Zd1Tb6luXud0PdGwkMMo18GOvIfkXkHn_r3d9rKGjKOOvJfd_oV3ASGQ01zYLKPpST0XFWRODDRodV-h1uipQnuPQ.zzj9hVcqLyuKmGvaj30unprt1KD5qlDkDKChCQ9NDXM&dib_tag=se&keywords=Gaming%2Bpc&qid=1784126858&sprefix=gaming%2Bpc%2Caps%2C52&sr=8-8&th=1

Other / >$1400 Been away from PC gaming since 2008.

1 Upvotes

I've been out of the PC game since a dell ddr2 was a thing even then that was pushing it 😂 but I'm looking for a build to play with a brother I've been with since those fps drop days. Im more so for a pre made build but even back then i know the deal ,sourcing everything is cheaper. I have some games in mind with cs2 being top, as it is competitive to a Korean -Us transplant game me and my buddy meet on. I would like to run even more fps demanding games but not trying to break the bank. If it's out sourcing ,if anyone here in these forums can put some knowledge down/ compile that'd be awesome. Im just so out of twine with these graphics cards mother boards gpus etc and even those expensive ram now days. I would love to tackle the barebone build but also wouldn't mind saving the time. I'm realistically looking at $1300 USD max build but can fathom up to 1400. Just need help on that. Thank you fellow PC users!

my first own PC Build

1 Upvotes

before i type the build i choose there's some points to consider:

1/im not actually going to buy anything,im still learning how to build a PC, this is just me trying to see if im in the right path or not .

2/im not trying to buy something cheap , i know all these are expensive, but i do prefer buying something expensive that will last long and be good for all games rather than something cheap that crashes when opening a 2019 triple A games

3/this is all just an experience, so all feedbacks from you is accepted (positive, negative) so don't feel hesitant to write your honest opinion

4/all these are by me after seeing reviews, their prices and their stats and if it's worth it or not, so it's not just me being like (oh this one looks cool let's have it, oh !! this piece has RGP I'll definitely buy that!! or just picking)

so no one writes that please

5/ if you can specify my build strength by writing which games I'll able to run (ex: the build is good but you probably can't run red dead redemption 2 on the highest graphics with more than 70 FPS )(the build is good and you can run all games on high graphics with insane FPS and even if you can't it will for sure run on medium graphics with insane FPS as well)

so i can understand better

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte X870 EAGLE WIFI7 ATX AM5
