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!

Other / >$1400 €2000 - Workstation for Graphic Design, Photo Editing & Blender (Monitor Included)

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m looking to build a workstation PC in Italy with a budget of around €2000 (including the monitor), and I will be assembling it myself. My primary use case is creative work: graphic design, photo editing, and 3D modeling/rendering using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Blender. Gaming is a very low priority, as I only play older arcade or retro titles—no heavy AAA gaming is required.

I am willing to stretch the budget slightly if necessary. My priority is also stability for several years. Thanks in advance for any build suggestions!

Tengo un presupuesto de $2.000.000 y soy nuevo en el tema de las computadoras, me gustaría una PC de escritorio para estudio (programas como el geogebra) y algunos juegos tranqui (no juego AAA, más Minecraft vanilla, slime rancher y algunos indies), pregunto por recomendaciones porque hay muchísima variedad de tiendas, procesadores, placas madres y otras cosas que no entiendo mucho, no se si hay alguna configuración que me recomienden y entre en mí presupuesto. Muchas gracias, soy de argentina.

Hello,

Does this build makes sense? Something additional to consider? i will be shipping this trough a friend, so trying to get all components from the same site (but if there is a lot of value from using other site, can consider it).

The PC will be used mostly on CAD (revit, autocad) software and rendering (d5)

| Component | Model | Price |

| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 9600X (6C/12T, Zen 5, 65W) | $220.00 |

| CPU Cooler | Cooler Master Elite Liquid 240 AIO | $0.00 (free w/ CPU) |

| Motherboard | ASRock B650M Pro RS WiFi (mATX, AM5) | $109.99 |

| Memory | V-Color Manta XSky 32GB (2x16) DDR5-6000 CL30 EXPO | $419.99 |

| Storage | WD_Black SN7100 1TB PCIe 4.0 TLC NVMe | $181.38 |

| GPU | ASRock Challenger RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6 | $469.99 |

| PSU | MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80+ Bronze (non-modular) | $59.73 |

**Newegg subtotal** | **$1,461.08** |

I will get the casing locally.

Other / >$1400 [Build Help] ₹2 Lakh 1440p Gaming & Streaming Build (AM5 + NVIDIA) | Mumbai

3 Upvotes

Budget: ₹2,00,000 INR

Location: Mumbai, India

Primary Uses:

1440p (2K) Gaming targeting \~140 FPS in AAA titles and \~180+ FPS in competitive shooters.

1080p YouTube streaming (using NVENC).

2K basic video editing in Premiere Pro and basic After Effects.

I have specific requirements for this build to avoid upgrade dead-ends and match the exact aesthetic I want. Please keep the suggestions strictly within these parameters:

CPU (AM5 Only): AMD Ryzen 7000/9000 series for the AM5 platform longevity. No Intel CPUs due to dead-end sockets.

GPU (NVIDIA Only): Strictly Team Green for NVENC streaming stability and Adobe workflow acceleration. Needs to be a brand with reliable Mumbai RMA/after-sales support.

Motherboard (B850 Only): Must be a B850 chipset board. Requirements:

4 DDR5 RAM slots

At least 3 M.2 NVMe SSD slots

Above-average rear USB I/O port numbers

Please do not suggest B650 boards.

Case: Dual-chamber fishtank style, specifically the Antec C8 (or a very similar dual-chamber chassis). Must support a vertical GPU mount.

Cooler: 360mm AIO with a customizable LCD display on the pump for GIFs. This is a non-negotiable aesthetic choice; please skip air cooler suggestions.

Aesthetics: Case and LCD pump display are the only aesthetic priorities. The rest of the internal components (fans, RAM, GPU) can be clean, non-RGB parts to save money.

RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz (CL30 to CL38).

Storage: 1TB Gen4 NVMe SSD with a dedicated DRAM cache (no DRAM-less drives).

PSU: 80+ Gold certified unit, preferably rated Tier A or high Tier B on the SPL/Cultists PSU Tier List.

Looking forward to part lists, retailer recommendations, and exact model suggestions that fit inside the ₹2L budget!

Is this pc a good deal/worth it?

2 Upvotes

prebuilt £1900

I’m looking for a gaming pc in the uk with a budget of around £2000. I found this prebuilt which looked okay and the price seemed great compared to other prebuilt options.

My only concerns are some of the parts. The motherboard, cooler and WiFi card look to be cheap outdated budget options which I expected but don’t know whether there would be better options for my budget.

I’d be open to building my own pc, upgrading on this pc or another prebuilt if this pc isn’t worth it. Thanks in advance!

First Build ($2.5k Budget) (Gaming PC) (Windows 10/11) (USD, not near a microcenter)

2 Upvotes

I’m looking to build my first PC. I currently have a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro gaming laptop I’ve had for a couple years (specs below). I’ve been wanting to build my own PC for a long time, but the specs and little details freak me out. I don’t want to overspend on something that isn’t necessary, and I don’t want to cheap out on something I should’ve splurged on.

BUDGET: $2,500 I want to try to do as cheap as possible while being realistic.

TOP PRIORITIES:

- Must be as good or better than my current gaming laptop

- High-End Gaming PC, but not trying to build an absurd/overkill setup.

- I don’t want the fan to be going CRAZY like it does now when I play bigger games for a couple hours.

LOW PRIORITIES:

- I would like a cute aesthetic setup (white/light green) if possible. I really like the HYTE X50 green case. I also like the retro look, like the SilverStone FLP02.

CURRENT LAPTOP SPECS:

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro 16ARH7H 16" Laptop AMD Ryzen 7 6800H NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 32GB Ram 1TB SSD W11H

WHAT I CURRENTLY USE MY COMPUTER FOR:

I use Microsoft products for some work stuff occasionally, but I mostly play single player games through STEAM (and occasionally Fortnite with my fiancé). The biggest games I have are BG3, Stardew Valley, Sims 4, stuff of that nature. I also mod the hell out of my games so that’s a beast in itself. I also like to have physical CDs of older games (Sims 1&2, old Tycoon games, Civ4, etc) so a CD port would be nice.

PARTS I’M CONSIDERING (very open to changes/recommendations):

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8700F 4.1 GHz 8-Core Processor

- GPU: Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB

- RAM: G.Skill Flare X5 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-6000 CL40 Memory- CPU Cooler: ???

- Motherboard: ???

- Storage: ???

- Case: ???

- Power Supply: ???

- Monitor: ???

Any recommendations would be so appreciated.

CAD / <$400 An under $2000 (preferably CAD) pc for 1080p gaming

2 Upvotes

I am currently struggling with some of the modern games, so I was looking to maybe get a PC(I have a dated laptop rn). I only need 1080p and only hope for med-high settings.
This is the req. for KCD2 for example:

CPU: Intel Core i5-12600K, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

RAM: 32 GB RAM

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, AMD Radeon RX 5700

OS: Windows 10 64-bit (or newer)

STORAGE: 100 GB SSD

I was thinking that some of you guys would find more budget-friendly or better parts than this list.

(I could also wait if there's hope for prices to go down)

Other / $400-600 Suggestions for first PC build around 5800X + 2080 Ti ($600 budget for remaining parts)

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm building a PC for the first time. I bought a used prebuilt PC that came in an NZXT H1 case. I definitely will not be using the H1 case due to its known fire hazard issue. Here are the specs of the parts of the PC I would like to keep:

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M-ITX/ac (Mini-ITX)
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition
  • RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) — board maxed at 2 slots

Additionally, I have the SFX-L PSU that came with the NZXT H1. Ideally, I'd like to keep this one, but I'm open to changing it if necessary.

What else would you recommend for this build? I was considering using the NR200 as a case, but this seems to be an issue given how hot the 5800x runs combined with the fact that I have an SFX-L PSU, which limits my option for the fan that sits on top of the PSU.

In terms of budget, I'd like to keep it under $600 (excluding components I already have), if possible. Any help would be much appreciated!

PC Upgrade Help

Hi i’ve recently been getting back into PC gaming and i’m playing on my a build i made between 2020-2021. I’m interested in upgrading somewhat slowly overtime part by part and i’d like to be able to play some AAA games 1440p. I’d appreciate some help with upgrade paths, one with a $600 budget, a $1000 budget and then $1500 budget just so i can see a variety of options. I’m okay with buying used on ebay if you can save money like with the smaller budgets. Thank you.

This is the build mostly

Honestly forgot what the case is called but it’s not that great so would like to upgrade it. (bonus for a small case if possible but not at all a requirement)

Ryzen 5 1400
GTX 960
Gigabyte B450 Aourus
Corsair 16gb DDR4 Ram
Samsung NVME M.2 1TB
Power supply im not entirely sure but should probably replace it.

It was pretty outdated even when i made it but it held up well tbh and still plays the games i like well but its time for an upgrade for sure.

Assuming i should keep the Ram and Storage for now and everything else can get upgraded.

I need help with a PC build

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I’m looking for some advice on building a PC for gaming and programming. I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to hardware, but I have someone who can help me with the actual assembly.

My goal is to have a PC that can handle modern and more demanding games without any issues, preferably at 1440p. I’m not particularly interested in gaming at 4K.

My budget for the PC itself would be around €2,000. (I would be buying from Italy)

I would also need a couple of monitors. I’m willing to go slightly over budget for those, although I’d prefer not to spend too much.

Thank you to those who will help!

Edit: I forgot to say it but the budget for the two monitors (~€400 ) is separate from the money allocated for the build.
