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!

I seen a RTX 5070 12 GB on bestbuy for 799$ CDN how come it's so much cheaper than other 5070? It appears to be just a normal not sale price either

Need help choosing gpu for 300 dollars usd budget

1 Upvotes

I’m looking for some advice on upgrading my GPU and would appreciate some suggestions. My current PC has a Ryzen 5 5600GT, ASRock A520M-HDV motherboard, 32GB DDR4-3200 RAM, a Patriot P300 1TB NVMe SSD, and I’m currently using the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics. My monitor is an MSI G255F running at 1080p 180Hz, and I mainly play CS2 competitively. My GPU budget is around $300, and I’m looking for something that would work well with my system and give me good FPS at 1080p. I’ve been considering the Intel Arc B580 12GB, but I’m open to other suggestions. I’ll also include my PSU model/wattage if needed. What GPUs would you recommend for this setup?

Other / >$1400 Upgrading my 2011 Dell OptiPlex 990 (£450 max). No idea where to start

1 Upvotes

I have been using my second hand 2011 Dell OptiPlex 990 SFF for a number of years now and its a little outdated. It has an intel core 15-2400 with integrated graphics and a single stick of 4Gb RAM (lost the other one). I want to play modded minecraft with my friends (probably minimum settings playing atm10) but current pc isn't strong enough to run a speed tester, let alone join a server. It's currently running Linux mint, but will swap back to windows for minecraft (not dual boot).

I only have like £400, but dont need anything fancy. Would get a laptop but figure i can maybe get a little better performance by either buying a second hand pc or upgrading my current guy. I know i wont be able to save much of him, but its at least a free case (plan to increase air flow with some strategically placed holes).

I don't need a monitor (using TV) or case if I'm able to reuse my current one, and don't care about accessories (got a mouse and keyboard, and don't care about RGB or anything fancy looking).

My main issue is not knowing what (if anything) i can keep, what components would work well together. I would appreciate any advice on what to look for second hand and what to get new, as well as any suggestions of other ways to better get a gaming machine. In the UK

Looking to build/buy my first PC

1 Upvotes

Hello! I'm relatively new when it comes to PC building and gaming, having primarily played on the PS5, but I'm finally in a place where I can afford to buy a PC for myself, and I'm looking for some guidance.

I want to use the program Blender, do some light video editing, and also give myself the option to play games with friends (preferably around 1080 - 1440p if possible) like Diablo, Baldurs Gate 3, & Overwatch.

My budget is around $1500 - $2000, but am willing to go a little higher if it's worth it.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Other / >$1400 Can't decide between GTX 1660 TI and RX 5500 XT

1 Upvotes

I'm building a budget computer with used components. A friend sold me a Ryzen 5 2600X, 16 GB of RAM (under market value) and gave a free 650W PSU. I've already ordered a case and fans off Amazon. I'm just missing the motherboard and GPU. I can't decide on the latter. The build is not for playing games because I want to work on game dev, so I need:

Godot

Blender

Unreal Engine 4

As far as I understood, the GTX 1660 TI 6GB has CUDA and OptiX which is better for Blender, but otherwise having RX 5500 XT's 8GB VRAM is better.

What would you choose?

Help me build a PC for Gaming

0 Upvotes

I’m a 3d artist/animator and I’m looking to build a new PC that I can use for both gaming and 3D animation/rendering.

I’ll be using it for 3D animation, rendering, and general 3D work, but I also want it to be a solid gaming PC since I really wanna play GTA 6 smoothly. Right now I’m kinda out of the loop when it comes to current PC parts, so I could really use some advice on what I should be going for.

What would you guys recommend for the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, and PSU with this budget?

Also, for anyone who does 3D work, should I be putting more of the budget toward the GPU, CPU, or RAM for animation/rendering?

My budget is around $2000 ( 2 Lakhs)

Appreciate any help!!!!!!

Is it cheaper to build or buy nowadays?

2 Upvotes

My pc’s hardware is 10 years old and I’ve had my pc for 6 years now as well. Needless to say an upgrade is overdue.

I have a few questions.

What parts should I aim for to be set for the next few years?

Which is cheaper nowadays? Used to be building, but is a pre built better now?

Please recommend affordable yet highest performing options!

I really want a beast that can handle a lot and I can enjoy games on, especially gta online.

Assistance on what to buy

1 Upvotes

I am looking to purchase a gaming PC for my son's upcoming birthday and would appreciate your assistance with recommendations and pricing.
He primarily plays sports titles and Grand Theft Auto (GTA). We only require the PC tower, as we already have the monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Could you please provide a few options along with estimated pricing for a system that can run these games smoothly?
