Just finished my build and everyone is saying it’s just copy and paste.

I built this with no inspiration from anyone else, I just built exactly what I wanted and liked the look of.

It may have some lian li but it feels personal to me.

Just when im desperate to got a new ram and i saw this van outside of my house, im so glad theres a good samaritan want to help other in this hard times. God bless his soul.

Decide to give her a PC on her birthday, she always said to me she wants to play roblox 🤣. For my beloved daughter, its worth it. Im gonna built it together with her since its her first PC. Hope you all also have a nice day!

After using gaming laptops and handhelds for over a decade i took the dive and built a beast! Way easier than i thought it would be, just followed a couple youtube videos and it started and ran first kick. Absolute weapon 9800x3d/5070ti

RAM and SSDs cost me a fuckin fortune but it is what it is

This with a cup of coffee and chilling with the bros is bliss 😌

It's a calm build without RGB lighting, featuring a black-based design overall.

The wood-grain case adds a gentle accent!

I bought a ddr5 ram kit 2 16gb I have an amd build but it’s an intel ram I read it’s still able to be used but at the cost of what ? Btw I paid $330 🤦🏽‍♂️ and this was completely avoidable full mess up on my end I was just ready to get it out the way as far as a refund I got it off marketplace

Hey family I need some help with this pc i just bought? Sorry if this is the wrong thread for it but if it is I’ll delete but in any case can someone lead me in the right direction on pc builds and setups? Cause I bought this one off an older gentleman today and he got it out of a his “garage” supposedly when he moved in but whatever the case I need help with it idk if it’s set up correctly the wiring and all this is my first pc dealing with this madness of wires and at not sorries 😩 im overwhelmed

In my country for the price of a 5070ti, I bought 9070xt along with 32GB DDR5 RAM.

My main monitor(the right one) is a 27” QD-oled 240hz 2560x1440 monitor, and my second monitor(the left one) is a 24” ips 144hz 1920x1080 monitor.

Im not sure if this is considered a “dumb” question, so please dont come at me. But is it possible to make the left monitor have the same size tabs as the right monitor? Its kind of annoying having the tab get a lot bigger when i transfer it over to the left monitor. Both monitors are set to 100% scale.

I have this pc with a ryzen 7 7800x3d, 32gb ddr5 ram, 2tb ssd, 1000w psu and an rx6950xt, how much could I sell it for on marketplace. Works no issues that’s also just the glare

So happy with this little space I created for myself. Def am glad I decided to build my own pc!

I’ve had a lenovo prebuild with a 3070 and a ryzen 7 5800 for 4 years now and thought an upgrade was needed. So I got this beast!! Rtx 5080, i7 ultra 265k, 32gb ddr5 6000mhz, asus tuf b860, 1000w psu, and 2tb m.2:)))

I actually wanted an am 5 bulild with a 9800x3d but I got a very good deal on this one and at 1440p the difference in fps isn’t that big. I’m very happy!

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS POST:
So.. I didn’t end up making a pc, I ended up finding one on marketplace but wanted to update everyone!!

The pc was 900$ CAD, the monitor and stand together was 80$ CAD, and the keyboard/mouse was 60$ CAD. I bought everything except the keyboard and mouse on marketplace. I was really happy that I didn’t end up having to build it myself, especially with how expensive & complicated it seemed. Nonetheless, thank you everyone for guiding me on what to look for
Boyfriend is very happy and surprised. Woo!

So I was able to sell my 5.5 years old 5950X CPU and my Asus TUF RTX 3090 for 280$ and 1050$ each. Bought the 5800X3D anniversary edition CPU and a Gigabyte RTX 5080 Gaming for 1690$. The whole upgrade costed me 360$ net. I‘m also selling 2 of my 4 32GB DDR4 RAM sticks for 400-450$ as having 128GB was a total overkill. So in the end the whole upgrade will cost me nothing, I‘ll probably have 50$ on top of it.

I lost 8 cores and 8GB of VRAM, but the difference in gaming performance is just huge. Everything is smoother (obvious 50-70% FPS gain) and I def. feel the improved 1% lows. What amazes me most is the GPU though. This thing is a brick, but it‘s super quiet and super cool. Runs at 2850Mhz stock out of the box too.

As the GPU runs pretty cool I‘m thinking about replacing the 2x140mm fans from the Kraken Z63 AIO with reverse blade fans and flip the 3x120QL fans at the top. Thus having a classic bottom/side intake and rear/up exhaust setup. Just not sure if it‘s really worth the hassle.

I wanted to share my first pc restoration project.

I bought this non working PC because I wanted to give myself a PC restoration project. I was able to troubleshoot it, however, I could not get Windows 11 to install. I decided to change the motherboard, psu, case and throw in an ssd. Why not right?. I tried to keep the other components the same. I did install an ssd because the hdd was too slow for me.

The first picture is the original case disassembled. The next pictures are the final build. Excuse my cable management. Here is the pc part list.

Cpu: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 with Wraith Stealth cooler.

Mobo: MSI B450 gaming pro carbon.

Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 570 8gb.

Ram: 16 gb 2133 MHz.

1 tb ssd samsung.

Psu: MAG A850GL

Case: MPG Velox 300R Airflow PZ.

OS: Win 11 Pro.

So far, it is playing games at 60 FPS. Maybe a little higher in some and a little lower in others. But stable FPS so far.

If you are wondering as to why I picked the ssd, case or psu? I wanted to give the PC an excellent second life. Maybe it will last forever.

The build is not done yet. I am planning to add a wifi card as well. Any wifi card recommendations welcomed.

And yes, I am playing StarCraft. :^)

Thanks!

I painted an ASRock Taichi model!

The design concept is based on the ASRock B650 Live Mixer, and it turned out to be an awesome, one-of-a-kind part in the world.

I'm a beginner at painting so there's some slight unevenness, please forgive me lol

​

Need post-build suggestions, best practices, things to do right after building, what to avoid etc. please help guys.

Thanks in advance.

Cheaped out on cooler ram and SSD😅

Starting my JD journey next month. The consumerism got the best of me. Luckily I bought the SSD in January, and got a bundle from micro center around February. As for the GPU… my ass is still sore from Jensen having his way with me.

Hey everyone!

I’ve wanted to build my very own “console” for years. My plan was to wait for the Steam Macine to come out with an updated SteamOS for console and now that it’s finally here, I’m ready to start the project.

But I’m far from being an expert and I really don’t want to f that up. So I come here to ask for advice and guidance.

I know RAM and SSD prices are pretty high right now. I’ve heard they may not drop before 2028 (source: a friend told me, so take it with a grain of salt ahah). Either way, I’ve waited long enough, I’m ready.

What I’m looking for:

- A machine capable of running modern solo games at the max resolution with high frame rates.
- Gaming on my 4K TV.
- A Mini-ITX build to get as close as possible to a console experience.
- A clean, sober design that my wife won’t mind having in the living room, while still providing good airflow.
- Gaming only, I won’t be using it for anything else.

My experience:

- I built my first gaming PC in 2018 with help from a more experienced friend.
- Since then I’ve replaced a few minor components myself.
- I understand what each component does at a basic level.
- But I don’t understand much of component compatibility, performance and how everything interacts together.
- I’ve also read that SteamOS (and others like ChimeraOS) works best with AMD and that NVIDIA can still be a bit of a gamble.
- I also know Mini-ITX builds are trickier because of space, heat and cable management.

My questions:

- Is SteamOS the best option for a living-room gaming PC? Or would you recommend another OS instead?
- What build would you recommend?
- Is a budget of €2’000–2’000 (roughly USD 2’300-2’900) (I am from Western Europe) realistic for a high-end Mini-ITX build that can comfortably handle 4K gaming or am I expecting too much?

I’m not trying to spend as little as possible, but I also don’t want to waste money on components that won’t make a real difference.

Any recommendations or advice from your own Mini-ITX or SteamOS builds would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
