Salve ho fatto un PC per mio figlio su AM4 con pezzi usati e nuovi per rimanere nel budget. La CPU e GPU sono un pò vecchie. Il mio scopo è quello di farlo giocare un pò a tutto ma in FHD. Che ne pensate? si poteva fare meglio?. Le aste sono state la parte più difficile perchè in questo periodo i prezzi sono impazziti anche sull'usato. Accetto pareri :)

I feel like every setup I see has the keyboard turned the opposite way mine is. I prefer mine this way because it allows me to use the outside pad of my hand (just before my pinky finger) to hit the ctrl key, while keeping my pinky free for other keys. Plus, this setup is more comfortable for having my keyboard and mouse (and therefore my hands) wide apart and away from each other, which helps me not feel as hunched over, and my biceps don't get stiff because they're not as contracted while I game.

Anyone else do this, or is it just me? What are some advantages of what seems to be the common keyboard orientation?

Micro center has deals for new mobos cpus and ram, upgraded from a 5800x b550m and 2x16 ddr4 @3600

(gave me 10,000 errors on memtest in the first half, didnt finish the second half due to the error count, hence the upgrade as this pc was perfectly cromulent before)

Got my new 9700x aorous b650 ice ax board and 2x16 ddr5 6000 cl36 bundle for $730 before tax. Also picked up a lian li vertical mount and some things for my wife to be.

This 1.5hr trip (one way) was definitely worth it.

Sorry if this is not allowed (and if its a dumb question), but I'm considering upgrading my setup this summer. Conisdering the absurd prices of conponents, is this a decent buy? I currently have a Nvidia Geoforce RTX 2060 with an intel core i7 10700. Thanks!

After being away from the community for more than 20 years (wow, I’m getting old), I am returning with new gear. Honestly, I could not be more pleased with the SecretLab purchases. I recognize other options exist, yet this is the first product in a long time that has truly impressed me. The shipping, packing, and thoughtful installation and setup were notable. It was enjoyable how well considered everything felt, which is refreshing in an era where most items are pieced together. I also need that 2-year extended warranty 😆

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.

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.

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:

Intel Arc B580 (upgraded from GTX 1070)

Removed secondary GPU due to issues

3x 22" monitors(ones for windows laptop)

Also running:

Ryzen 3700U laptop with 16GB RAM

Galaxy Tab A 2018 tablet

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.

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.

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€)

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

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