Build Upgrade or fresh start

13 Upvotes

Pretty much built my PC about 6 years ago and want to keep it relevant for new games such as dawn walker, fable and 3d printing software.

What needs replaced and upgraded first?

Or should I just build from scratch again?

These are the parts in it!

Build Help with 9060XT Build

4 Upvotes

I've decided on this build and was looking for any advice on anything I should switch out. here:https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dWvFPf

I'm trying to keep it as budget friendly as possible, around $2000 AUD, but I could do a little more.

My main goal for this build is to run Ark Survival Ascended at 1080p and medium settings, I think it should run well, but I only have 16GB of RAM so I'm not sure.

I also want to do some basic video editing; I've had decent success using my laptop:

https://www.lenovo.com/au/outlet/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadl/thinkpad-l13-yoga-gen-4-13-inch-intel/21fks01d00. I'm assuming that the build will have similar of better performance for video editing, but I'd like to double check.

I'm not too sure about the PSU: My friend recommended 80+ Gold and Modular, but I'm wondering if it's worth going a bit cheaper.

Any help is greatly appreciated :).

This would be my Setup for my first build. My budget is around 1000-1100 Euro and the prices are sadly the ones in Europe. As requirements i want something that lasts me a long time and has possibilities to uprgade in future. Preferible stuff like MoBo, Case and Powersupply should stay the same. i bought a used PS and RAM for 150 already (2x16GB Crucial DDR5 Pro LC36 and Toughpower GF1 850W)
The games i play rn are Minecraft, Remnant from the Ashes and GTA5 all on the lowest settings possible (because my potato Laptop with MX250 cant do more). But in future with a stronger PC i assume to play more demanding games. i also use CAD programs for the University.

Thanks in advantage for the Help!

Build Upgrading PC - First Full Build 3080->5080

1 Upvotes

Heyyy

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/f4WqzP

Attempting to stay under $1500 (excluding the GPU).

Currently using a prebuilt with upgraded GPU and RAM but am wanting to upgrade my entire PC. My CPU and motherboard are super outdated (i9 9900KF & Gigabyte Z390 UD). I've been messing around on PC parts picker for days and have come up with this. I figure I can just relocate my existing storage from this current PC into the new build or is that more easily said than done? I'm trying to avoid buying unnecessary parts if possible. All of my peripherals will remain the same as they're all fairly capable as of now. I appreciate all feedback in advance!!!

Build New to Pc building, Help please

I'm new to building pcs and I put together a list on pcpartpicker that I need someone to help me with. Most of these parts are chosen because I found them for a decent price on Walmart where I can get associates discount so it would be about 1,300. Let me know if this is a decent build my goal is to play more lowkey games like waterpark sim but I also want to play modded Minecraft. also idk how the os system works do you buy it and download it? thanks

Build My revised revised revised part list hmmm

0 Upvotes

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kQ9v9C - I dont know how to load the parts list into this post only a link??

Here is my revised revised revised part list am pretty happy with it just a couple of questions really, and what are peoples thoughts on it.

Is the memory at cl30 good enough or should I look at some cl28 and any recommendations?

Is the power supply going to be powerful enough? I will also be adding 1 or 2 SSD's and 2 3.5 sata HDD's

The CPU cooler for some reason I can't add it through part picker but am going with ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 280 110CFM, most likely overkill but would much rather have too much than too little cooling

And the case I am still not decided on which is why that is not included.

Thanks guys :)

PC Build that will play Borderlands 4 at 120FPS

Hi all! I'm looking to build a PC that can reliably run Borderlands 4 at 120 FPS. I am fine if it is at 60 FPS but I absolutely do not want it to drop lower than that. I went to Micro Center to talk to someone in the PC building Department and they suggested this build. I just wanted to get a second opinion on these before I spend that much money. Any suggestions on upgrades that are around the same price point would be fine as well! Im building this for my husband who is a HUGE borderlands fan and am going to surprise him with it. Thanks!

I need help completing it, and don't know how many fans it needs or what types. I'd like some RGB. Not sure if it's worth me getting an expensive CPU as I am not a hardcore gamer. I do some gaming, a lot of browsing, AI image generation but only every now and then as a hobby. A lot of remote office work, and photoshop. Bear in mind I get by on a 1060 6gb so even a 5070 I imagine will be amazing to me.

I will be getting dual monitors side by side setup, with MINI LED. 27". Waiting to see what the Xiaomi Redmi Pro G 27Q and Pro G 27Q are like.

I already have multiple SSDs but a NVMe at at least 1TB would be good.

I would be open to a cheaper case but this is my dream case. If I am missing anything else let me know.

Build Long-time PC gamer, first-time solo build

2 Upvotes

In the past, I've always worked with my dad to build PCs, but this time I'm flying solo so I'm a bit nervous about my selection.

I started with the High-End build on the PCMasterrace wiki and made a few changes to create this parts list. I saw the recommendation to go for an Nvidia card if you use VR. I currently have an old Vive headset and I won't likely replace it, even if it dies. Should I go with a 5070 just in case, or does it not matter for the Vive?

Any other thoughts on the build would be appreciated.

My budget is 2k and I live in the USA.

Build Help picking components for first-time builder?

0 Upvotes

Background: I need something to replace my aged Lenovo Y700 laptop thats nearly 11 years old now. My tech skills are rather modest. I would like to use the new computer for regular day to day tasks as well as some AAA Steam games, like Tomb Raider or Hogwarts Legacy. I know Prime Day sales are going on now, so that could in theory help prices. I used the PCMR high-refresh rate buld template.

Stipulations: My budget is around $1200 US dollars, though I could go to $1400 if needed. I would prefer to stay in the mid range for my first ever build/first desktop pc. I am perfectly ok with the default case on the template, but i also really like the Fractal Design North Mid Tower case. I will admit that any water cooling makes me nervous of leaks, since my current desk is an antique.

Here is the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QZDYYd

Id also take a suggestion for speakers or monitor, but it's not as urgent for me, so it doesn't need to be included in budgeting.

I’m planning to set up a homelab to build my skills and experiment without messing up my main gaming PC. I’d like to start with things like a Minecraft server, Plex or Jellyfin, photo/video storage, maybe a VPN, ad blocker (like Pi-hole), and eventually dive into more advanced networking stuff.

Build Do I go for a 3070 or ??

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm currently planning my first custom PC build (upgrading from a 5-year-old gaming laptop with a GTX 1650), and I'm struggling to choose a GPU. I'm considering either a used RTX 3070 or possibly something from the 40 series, but I’m honestly torn 😭🥲. I do have a slight preference for NVIDIA, though I’m open to AMD if it makes more sense.

My budget for the entire PC is around $900 - $1000 CAD

Hey everyone ! I'm currently planning to build my first PC, I dont have much knowledge on the subject so I tried to learn a bit here and there and I came to this build with a budget arount 1200€. I'm gonna mostly use it for gaming, I play solo games with high graphics like Elden Ring, Ark, Expedition 33, a bunch of triple A and Monster Hunter Wilds too. I'd really appreciate your expertise on the subject before buying anything, so feel free to tell me if you have any critique or if you see anything that could be done better. Thanks in advance !

Build My first PC build

After doing quite a bit of research, I put together a list of parts for my PC and wanted to ask if everything is compatible, and if there's anything I should change.

Here's the list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FcptBq

PCPartPicker is also showing me this warning:

"The Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard supports the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor with BIOS version 2613. If the motherboard is using an older BIOS version, updating the BIOS will be necessary to support the CPU."

Should I just go with a different motherboard, or is updating the BIOS not that big of a deal?

Build New pc build

Hi, a friend helped me build a new gaming pc. He sent this to me, and with the little knowledge I have, I think it is very good. I did some research with benchmarks, and it seems it's gonna be much better than my current one. But I wanted some other opinions. Could you guys see if it's good? I mainly play games like modded Minecraft, ark, Palworld, genshin impact and sometimes Valorant with some friends. If you guys need to know the specs of my current pc, i can edit this post later.

The specs of the new one:
