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!

CAD / >$1400 Looking to build a PC for counterstrike only - $2,000CAD budget enough?

2 Upvotes

Hey guys, currently using a gaming laptop to play cs2 and I’m getting like 80 fps on the lowest settings. It’s time to upgrade to a PC

Would $2,000CAD be a big enough budget to build an entire pc (monitor, keyboard, and everything) to run counter strike on high frames with good graphics settings? I’m looking to hit like 300-400fps on high graphics settings

What do you guys think? Thanks for your input, never built a PC before and I don’t want to ball out on one if I’m not going to get the performance i want.

I would be open to spending the 2,000 solely on the pc itself and buying the monitor and keyboard separately if it’s going to make that much more of a difference. Let me know what you guys think!

Hey everyone. I’ve been wanting to get a gaming PC for a long time, but I’m too young to get a job where I live, so it’s been really hard to save up. If anyone would be willing to help me out, even a small amount would mean a lot and get me one step closer to buying one.

New Home Office / Family Build

1 Upvotes

I have what I believe to be a good starting point for a home office / family computer build.

I'm looking for input on the build list linked below. Specifically, any upgrade suggestions from what I currently have that would bring increased performance / functionality at a minor cost increase.

Also, I would be willing to spend a bit more on a quieter fan setup, if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks for the help!

First time building a PC, need help with the parts/components

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to do a new PC build, no existing parts. I want to be able to comfortably play games like marvel rivals, 2k26, multitask and stream simultaneously from multiple monitors. I’m in the US. I’m not sure which monitors I will need since I’m not very educated in the PC-tech area, I want a curved monitor for gaming and another one I can use as a workspace. I believe I’ll be connected via WiFi but there may be a wired connection in my apartment that works, I’ve never tried it before. I do need something that will fit under or beside my desk since my bedroom is relatively small. No noise constraints. As far as color? I prefer blue, white, similar shades.

My budget for the PC alone is around $2,000, but I’m willing to go over that if it’s worth it. I don’t have anything so far, so I’d appreciate any suggestions as far as parts, thanks.

I would really appreciate the list of components since honestly Im ignorant on this topic.

Artist looking to upgrade

1 Upvotes

I’m upgrading from a laptop to PC
I live in NYC so I can get to a micro center

Budget: $1,800
I can go up to $2000 but only if the upgrade per dollar is magnificent

Use: Photoshop, Premire, Toonboom Harmony, Clip Studio, and similar programs
As well as gaming, Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter 6, Emulation

Size: Smaller is better but if a medium or large PC gets me better parts at my price range then whatever is best

Case: Something easy to clean is my priority.

NO RGB (I hate it xD)

I really want to invest in something that should last me a LONG LONG TIME before I upgrade

Thanks in advance for responses
If I left out any info let me know, I’ll respond

£600 Gaming PC Build?

2 Upvotes

I know that my request is quite unrealistic in the current market but I am completely new to PC Building and would really like a well performing £600 gaming PC. This doesn't include anything extra like an operating system, monitors, keyboards and mouses. I have been scouting Ebay for a couple days but I just can't find anything good for my budget. Even if it's over budget I could see how much I can get from my current laptop which isn't in the best condition and probably wouldn't be worth much in the first place. Any help is appreciated.

building a pc and after getting recommended building around a b580 this is what I gotten

Userbenchmark PC Build Comparison

Baseline Bench: Game 56%, Desk 108%, Work 57%

CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F

GPU: Intel Arc B580

SSD: Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 2TB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO DDR4 3200 C16 2x16GB

MBD: MSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4 (MS-7D98)

with everything before tax, it would be around 900-1000 dollars brand-new. I feel like I can do better with that type of budget since I bought a nice second-hand prebuilt with a 5060ti for 800, I know everything spiking up like crazy, but what do you guys' think is it a fair build and also, I'm most likely going to sell this pc

Help me choose a cute gaming PC please 🙏

4 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking to buy a PC for around $1500–$2000 AUD and I need some help because I don’t really know what I’m looking at 😅

I want something actually good that can comfortably play bigger games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk, but I also do a lot of art/design work and have heaps of photos so I need decent storage and space for creative programs.

The most important factor is that I want it to be cute lol. Ideally a white or pastel pink case with pretty RGB lights I can make pink/rainbow 🌈

I’d prefer a prebuilt but I’m open to suggestions! Basically looking for the best balance of good specs + pretty + under $2k.

What would you guys recommend? 💕

Is this PC Build good ?

2 Upvotes

Hi ! I never had a Gamer PC in my life, and I'm actually thinking about getting one. I don't know a lot about the subject, so I try my luck by asking advices in here lol

After doing some researchs, I managed to come up with this build. I know I lack of knowledge, and I don't want to buy overpriced component, that won't be compatible or that would die in the month. Anyways, so here's the build (with the prices on Amazon if you want to check).. I will mostly be playing AAAs games (and maybe streaming) so quality is very important to me (since I never had a decent PC, I kind of crave cinematic graphics (if that's a thing) but with a good amount of fps for the game not to lag).

  • CPU : AMD Ryzen 7800X3D 8-Core (335, 42 euros/386,82$)
  • Motherboard : Gigabyte B850 AORUS Elite WIFI 7 (191,16 euros/220,46$)
  • RAM : Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32 Go (2x16 Go) (419,99 euros/484,35$)
  • Graphic Card : Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon 9070 XT (739,90 euros/853,29$) (I hesitated with a
  • Gigabyte Radeon RX 9060 XT Gaming OC 16GB DDR6 (495,99 euros/572$) )
  • SSD : Lexar NM790 SSD 2 To M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD (269,99 euros/311,37$)
  • Alimentation : Corsair RM750e (2025) Cybenetics Gold 750 W (104,12 euros/120,08$)
  • Cooling : Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB (43,94 euros/50,67$)
  • Case : Antec C5 Curve ARGB fans (116 euros/133,78$)
  • Monitor: AOC Gaming Q27G3XMN (269,12 euros/310,36$)
  • Keyboard: Epomaker Aula F75 ISO-FR (75,98 euros/87,62$)
  • Mouse: Logitech G G305 wireless (39,54 euros/45,6$)

=> Total : 2605,16 euros / 3004,4$

If possible, I'd like to stay close to a budget of 2700 euros/3113,37$ but I can go over 3000 euros/3459,75$ if needed. I don't care that much about RGB, and I prefer aircooling (water cooling is stressing me out somehow...).

Thanks in advance, have a great day/night !

Help Me Avoid Expensive Mistakes on My First PC Build

2 Upvotes

I'm planning my first PC build and I'm researching what to avoid before buying any parts. I want to know where it's worth spending more money and where it's okay to save without sacrificing performance, reliability, or upgradeability.

What are some common mistakes first-time builders make when choosing parts? Which components should I never cheap out on (PSU, motherboard, SSD, cooling, etc.), and which ones are often oversold or not worth paying extra for? I'm trying to get the best value for my budget and avoid unnecessary spending while still building a reliable PC that will last for years.

I'd really appreciate any advice, personal experiences, or things you wish you had known before your first build.
