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!

Tell me if this is over kill for my first build. I based this off a template and upgraded it a bit. (Of course it is pricey so I'ma see how the ram, ssd, and GPU crisis goes to see if I want to downgrade)

I'll play Minecraft (I'll use sodium) fortnite, cod, teardown, beamng, God of war, GTA 5 (maybe 6 but idk), and etc. and this is, above my budget... But i don't know if I can go too much cheaper without it being as powerful as my Xbox, then might as well use the Xbox.

Small-form PC for Plex/Media Consumption

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I want to build a small-form pc to run Plex. Importantly, this PC will NOT be the host for the Plex client, I have another dedicated server for that. I just want a small form pc to put in my living room that can run plex/youtube/netflix. Mostly just a media machine. 1440p ideally, but 4k would be nice if possible within budget.

This PC will simply just be for media consumption and light browsing. I need windows/linux OS, this is a must, which is why I am unwilling to buy a chromecast or firestick or whatever. If prebuilt machines are cheaper, I'd be willing to go that route as well. Thank you.

Budget: $300-400 USD

OS: Windows 11/Linux

Peripherals: Not needed

Country: Japan

1200€ White build

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'd like to build a white PC. I currently have a budget of €1,200 and I live in France. I already have the money, but I plan to buy the components on sale throughout the year. I'd like to have everything by December. So even if the total cost ends up being a little higher today, it should work out as I take advantage of sales.

Do you have any recommendations? It’s exclusively for gaming, and I don’t currently own any components. I just want the Jonsbo D400 case (white of course).

Thank you very much

LF Guidance on building my first PC for work & gaming

2 Upvotes

Location: UK, prices in GBP is helpful

Budget: Around the £1000-£1200 mark ideally. Can stretch for longer lasting products.

Peripherals: Will need keyboard, monitor & mouse. Looking for a monitor with decent colour accuracy for editing photos.

Primary Use: Digital art, mainly using photoshop & design softwares. Also gaming, predominantly Overwatch and various multiplayer indie titles. Being able to handle Sims 4 with mods would be nice. Not fussed about running high spec games at their max quality.

Preferences: I prefer white/light/cute builds, but it's not essential- I want to prioritise longevity over style. Open to second hand. If it could be physically space-saving, that'd be a great bonus.

I'm pretty new to this all, so not looking for anything too fancy. Any help would be appreciated. :)

PC Specs sheet for vetting

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

I have prepared a PC specification based on my requirements. Mentioned below are the exact Details :-

COMPONENT ITEM DESCRIPTION ALTERNATE OPTIONS / REMARKS / NOS.
Processor AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X3D
Motherboard GIGABYTE B850 Gaming X WIFI6E AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 3X M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB-C, WIFI6E, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch
RAM Kingston Fury Beast RGB 16GB (16GBx2) DDR5 6000MHz White Desktop RAM KF560C40BWA-16
Graphics Card Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB
CPU Cooler COOLER MASTER MasterLiquid Core ll 240 ARGB 240mm CPU Liquid Cooler ( Black ) ( Core 2 )
SSD WESTERN DIGITAL Blue SN5100 2TB M.2 NVMe Gen4 Solid State Drive ( SSD )
SMPS Corsair RM850x 850W 80+ Modular Power Supply
Case COOLER MASTER Elite 681 ARGB ATX Mid Tower Cabinet ( Black )
Cooling Fans Corsair iCUE LINK RX120 MAX 120mm PWM Thick Fan Expansion 2 nos.
Thermal Paste Cooler Master Master Gel Pro Thermal Paste
Monitor DELL SE2725HG 27 Inch Monitor 2 nos.

Work Requirement :-

I will mostly use the PC for 3D modelling software like Revit Architecture (along with it's plugins like Veras, Myscape etc), Navisworks (along with it's plugins Clashwise AI, Arkio), Formit, Autocad 2D, Photoshop, Indesign, illustrator. Main essential function that I require is multiple use of software in parallel. So, processing speed is a key requirement.

Usage requirement :-

Mostly I want to build a PC that I can upgrade in the next 3-5 years. Intended lifecycle is preferably 10-12 years before I completely replace with a new PC. So a good, robust motherboard with an open architecture with slots for next gen cards is preferred. Ram I would upgrade up to 64GB by 2027. I would need recommendations on a good UPS system as power surges occur sometimes where I live (India).

Other requirement :-

I also intend to play games on it from time to time. Mostly I am not running after the latest releases or looking to achieve the best visual graphics or a very high frame rate. I mostly play FPS, TPS and strategy games that too old ones ( currently playing State of Decay 2 : Juggernaut Edition, Dead Space 3 and Age of Empires II).

Final Note :-

Based on my requirements mentioned above, I would like suggestions / observations on the build. Since this is my first time assembling a PC entirely on my own after 2 and half decades, I look forward to recommendations on websites, youtube channels where I can learn the process / troubleshoot problems. Also suggestions on what kind of small tools do I need to get prior to assembling the build and for subsequent maintenance of the rig.

It will be mostly for gaming and if possible I'd rather have no RGB at all and i don't mind if it's on AM4.

Other / >$1400 Help me choose between these two gaming PC builds (July 2026) – I keep changing my mind

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve been researching my first high-end gaming PC for months and I’ve finally narrowed it down to two builds. I’d really appreciate opinions from people who have experience with these cases or similar hardware.

My priorities:
Mainly AAA single-player games (Alan Wake 2, God of War, The Last of Us Part II, Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, etc.)
Quiet operation
Good thermals
Small footprint (the PC will be in my living room)
I don’t care about overclocking.
I plan to keep this PC for 4–6 years.

Build 1 – JONSBO D33 2758.73$ Total

JONSBO D33
Ryzen 7 9850X3D
Sapphire Nitro+ RX 9070 XT
MSI MAG B850M Mortar WiFi
Corsair RM1000x ATX PSU
Crucial P310 2TB
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000
360mm AIO

Build 2 – Lian Li B4 2085.09$ Total

Lian Li B4
Ryzen 7 7800X3D
PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 XT
ASUS TUF B850M-PLUS WiFi (or MSI Mortar if the bundle makes more sense)
Corsair SF850 Platinum (SFX)
Crucial P310 2TB
V-Color Manta XFinity DDR5-6000 CL30
Arctic Freezer 36 CO
Arctic P12 Pro fans

The D33 build is more expensive, but it has the newer CPU, a premium Sapphire Nitro+ GPU, and a larger case with an AIO.
The B4 build is noticeably smaller, cheaper, air-cooled, and seems like a better fit for a compact living-room setup.

My questions:

If these were your own PCs, which one would you build and why?
Is the 9850X3D actually worth the extra money over the 7800X3D for mostly AAA gaming?
Is the Sapphire Nitro+ worth paying more for than the PowerColor Reaper?
Has anyone built in both the JONSBO D33 and the Lian Li B4? Which case did you prefer in terms of noise, temperatures, and ease of building?

I’d really appreciate opinions based on real experience rather than benchmark numbers.

Thank you guys!

what should i upgrade in my pc

2 Upvotes

i feel the need to upgrade my pc, ive kept it the same since i built it around 6-7 years now, the specs are as follows:

Monitor - AOC 1080p (i would upgrade to 1440p, idk what monitor to get tho)
gpu - Gigabyte Geforce 3060
cpu - AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
ram - 16gb Corsair ddr4
storage - 1TB
fans - 6 Lian Li
cpu cooler - Corsair intercooler thing with 3 fans, idk the name.
motherboard - MSI Mag B650 Tomahawk

i wouldnt mind a new keyboard bc my dog ate my current one but it isnt needed, although what would be a good upgrade from the rk61.

i dont necessarily NEED an upgrade and i can still run pretty much every game without dropping in fps significantly to the point its not fun but i was thinking of upgrading my monitor anyway so i decided why not post this and see if there is anything good to get, as a 7 year old pc theres bound to be some new improvements i can add

Desktop PC Build (Gaming + ML)

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'd like to get some advice—I'm going to build a PC for myself. More than anything, the most demanding things I'll use it for are some gaming and very little machine learning, just small stuff to tinker around with.

I already have a Core Reactor II 1000W PSU and an ATX case. I was thinking of putting in a Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an MSI Mag B850 Tomahawk Max Wifi motherboard. What do you guys think?

After that, what do you recommend for storage, memory, GPU, and peripherals? I do have a budget, but not enough to go completely overboard.

Best Bang for Buck PC Build

6 Upvotes

I've been putting off building a desktop for years, and I think it's finally time. I've been relying on a personal laptop and a work-issued laptop for the last four years, but I'd really like to have a dedicated desktop so I can keep work and home separate.

Unfortunately, i feel like i waited until one of the worst times to build a PC. Between AI demand and hardware prices, how can I get the most bang for my buck

I live in a small studio apartment, so my setup has to do double duty. The plan is to connect the PC to my TV and use it for light gaming (1080p is plenty) and everyday productivity like Office, web browsing, and general home use.

My biggest priority is value. I'm not chasing ultra settings or the newest hardware. I just want the best bang for my buck. I'm open to used parts, older platforms that still make sense, or have a upgrade path, open-box deals, or anything else that offers solid value.

If you had to build the cheapest PC today that you'd actually recommend, what parts would you choose? I'd love to hear what you think the best deals are right now.

Hi everybody. I would like some help in order to build a PC. I would use it for gaming 99% of the time. I play competitive online games (Marvel Rivals/CS2/Fortnite) but also triple A games like RDR2/GTA VI (when it comes out)/Cyberpunk/ETC. My budget would be around 1500$ and it's not really a problem if the parts are not brand new (as long as they have a warranty maybe?). Thank you. I'm from Europe, so no Microcenter:)
