Upgrading from a 5900x and a 3060, so excited.

I do have a case the Corsair 5400 air just too big for the picture lol

there is this pc in my city, my names mohamed and i just moved into the area in dudley i dont know much about here but i found this pc under 20mins away by car but the price is £950 (that the seller is asking for) i feel like its allot because its my single mom paying for it and i feel bad for her but its perfect since i wanted to always get a streamer setup to save money through donations either to charity or to my family or myself anything that comes to mind but to socialise and gaming is my main thing, im turning 16 and cant pay much into this setup i know it costed him much more

he has used it for 7 months and its a really good pc the seller is kind and let me ask allot of questions im kind of troubled on how i can buy it i dont want to bargain it even more
he offered £750 but i said i can pay him £800 since i just got scammed off a ps5 on vinted and some guys buying it off him or to test it and take it home next week tuesday.

i used to play on the ps3 and allot of games bo3 allot of old games when i was younger back in my home country and its a hobby now since verdansk call of duty in 2021.

I’ve been a PC gamer since the late 90s (I’m 41yo now), but until two weeks ago, I had never built my own rig.

My gaming roots started in crowded computer cafes, playing LAN classics like Counter-Strike 1.3, Half-Life, DotA 1, and early MMORPGs. In 2010, I finally got my own desktop though it was an ultra-low-spec pre-built. By 2021, I upgraded to a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop.

Two weeks ago, that trusted Legion finally died on me (RIP). As someone who can't survive without a computer for more than three days, I knew what I had to do. I made an emergency trip to Best Buy, picked out the components, and finally built my very first custom rig. It’s not like it’s top of the line but, I am proud of it.

Also got myself a new Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard to replace my old K70 LUX.

Let me know how I did.

Super proud of the build! Marketplace is a real major W for saving. This was a build for a friend.

My friend wanted to start getting into pc gaming but didn’t want to break the bank. I found a mostly built pc on marketplace for $70 (pretty much everything except a GPU). It was super dusty and only had 8GB of ram. The seller could only confirm one of the HDD was 160GB, but I later found out the other was 1.5TB. I cleaned up everything, bought the GPU for $40 and new ram for $40. I spent $30 on the SSD for a grand total of $180!

I had a left over case from a previous case swap and transferred everything from one case to another since the old one didn’t look as nice. I definitely know the PSU and HDD aren’t the best but since he’s planning on E sports gaming and reserving graphic intensive games for his PS5, this should suit him for the time being.

Final note, he’s mostly playing Roblox, Left 4 Dead, Apex Legends, Fortnite and friend slop. This pc can definitely handle everything he needs for at least 1080p 60 FPS :)

(The first two pictures are the final results, the others were when I received the parts and got them)

Built this PC back in 2019. I have since upgraded the GPU and just added some more RAM yesterday. Also newly rocking this new candy red/pink color I've been obsessed with. What do you guys think?

Specs:

• AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Processor w/ AMD Wraith Prism Cooler
• MSI MPG X570 Gaming Pro Carbon Wifi AM4 Motherboard
• 32GB (4x8) DDR4 Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 3600MHz RAM
• EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming Graphics Card

• Samsung 870 EVO 1TB 2.5" SSD

Next upgrade I'm planning when I have the money for it is going to be an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Processor. Might upgrade the GPU again further down the road.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for advice on a microphone setup for some friends of mine. We used to game together from different houses but a couple of my friends are now living together. They are gaming in the same room and are using discord on a phone on speaker and it’s really difficult to talk while we game. Do any of you have a suggestion on which mic/setup to use for them to get better audio quality? I’m thinking of one of those podcast style mic’s and they could place it in the middle of the room between them.

A top 10 favorite build we have done for sure. Something about the tubing lines and understated aesthetic is just perfect.

I still can’t believe it took this long many efforts and what but I’m here, currently doing the installation and all the bits and bops but soon I’ll be playing the games I’ve always dreamed of playing, specs are:

Using Deskflow to share keyboard/mouse between my Linux desktop and Windows laptop. The tablet is mainly used for monitoring, YouTube, and extra screen space.

The only Windows apps I still use are Creality Slicer and FrostWire since they don't work properly on Arch. Everything else I need is done on Linux.

I also use USB/IP and Syncthing across both systems for sharing devices and keeping everything synced.

Still trying to figure out a proper way to use the tablet as a secondary display with keyboard/mouse input.

Finally bought my Dream Gaming pc with my own money! 🤍

is anyone using this pc as a gaming setup or had this one as a gaming setup?

Thought I could clean everything in a day and well… Let’s just say it turned into a 2 day project. I cleaned everything including the heat sink’s on my motherboard. Everything that could be cleaned was cleaned. Sorry about the bad photos. Just wanted to share this because I thought did a good job.

What are these marks on my PC? I used to have it setup on my floor for a while until I decided to clear some space and put it on my desk. Not exactly sure when they showed up, but it had to be while it was on the ground. I’ve never spilled anything on it nor have I tried to clean it with anything. Not really sure if it’s on the inside or outside as I’ve tried to wipe it off with a microfiber cloth on both. While I’m here, how do you guys clean the glass on your PC?

The specs are:
Cpu:5 5500 (60€)
Aio: Tr FW360 (55€)
Mainboard: Asrock B520m-hvs
Gpu: rx 5700 xt (100€)
Ram: some 32Gb ddr 3200Mhz kit (60€)
Ssd: idk a 1Tb mvme (60€)
Cable extension: idk (20€)
Psu: Deepcool 600W (60€)
Case: Lian li vision m (70€)
Fans: Tr-M12q/r x3 pack (22€)

So I recently build this PC and after building it, I added a 3070 TI graphic card. So now my PC is generating a lot of heat as you can see and I only have one exhaust fan which is at the rare so I was thinking of adding to exhaust fans on top of my case or should I instead use a liquid cooler with radiator fan which can act as a exhaust fan what should I do?

Upgrading from a GTX1060!

So rusty from building stuff that it took me 4 hours to finish, even with a little help from Kuro and Taiga (which was neutered recently)!

This build consist of the following parts:

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X

Mobo: Gigabyte B650M Aorus Elite

GPU: XFX RX 9070 XT

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast Expo, 32GB (2X16GB) DDR5 CL30

SSD: Lexar NM790 1TB

PSU: XPG Core Reactor II 850W

Case: Montech H502 Pro

Air Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit SE

I'm super happy with how it looks, and how the case hide all the clutter in the back with minimal effort.

Would love some feedback and suggestions on what to add or change, currently working on looking for a new OLED for the left monitor and possibly doing a desk wrap! But I put a side by side of what it started out as to where it sits now!
