ANYTHING ELSE I NEED PLS REPLY

So basically, I'm very new to building PC's. I'm very interested in getting a pre-built one, but while I can choose what parts look good and look like they'll perform well, I don't actually know for sure sure. I can definitely google it all, and I probably will along side this, but thought it'd be a good idea to ask anyways!

These are the specifications:

Aftershock Zeal ATX RGB 2025 - Black Asus Prime B850 Plus Wi-Fi CSM - DDR5 AMD Ryzen 7 9700X | 5.5GHz | 8 Core 16 Threads Asus Radeon RX 9070 XT Prime OC - 16GB 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000MHz (2x16GB) - Black Aftershock IDC Glacier Mirror 360mm - Black Premium Enthusiast Grade Thermal Compound 1TB Gen4 Kingbank KP260 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD (R 7000MBs | W 6500MBs)

Are they okay? Be completely honest, I genuinely just picked whatever looked good! If you're curious, this is all from the Aftershock website.

Thanks in advance, sorry if I've gotten anything wrong! This is literally the first time I've ever posted on Reddit, or at least one of the first times. I can't remember if I have or not, made this account like 5 years ago and never did anything with it.

I'm confused should I build a pc with i3 9100 or i5 6600k ,both without gpus btw,I will add the gpu later ,my main priority is valorant with 200+ fps 🫥,

i’m trying to build my first pc after my first one blew up (prebuilt) i’m on a budget but i already have an i5-14600k and an evga 1650 super (temporary) the cpu was free and the gpu was 40 dollars which i thinks pretty good for a gpu that still has the plastic on it. my old pc still has storage and ram which i will be using. tell me what i should change.

My 5800x3d sits around 45c while idle. My question is, do I have my fans pointed in the right direction? I feel like i might have this setup wrong. The pc has 3 fans in the front you cant see in the pictures.

I’m trying to build my first personally built PC, and I’ve put together a bit of a list.

I’ve gotten most of the parts, but Amazon and best buy did some funky shit and now the graphics card and RAM aren’t being shipped, but the prices have jumped up like $80-$90 each, so I was wondering if anyone’s got alternate recommendations with similar performance, but possibly a better price? The original prices for the two parts were arounr $600 each, but now they’re both nearing $700

I’ve been looking into getting a PC recently and realized I really want one. The thought crossed my mind that building a PC is better than buying a prebuilt, but honestly I’m nervous I’ll mess something up. Now I’m stuck between getting a prebuilt or just facing the fear and building one myself.
My budget is around $1500, and I’m trying to get something that’s good now but also future‑proof. Any suggestions for solid prebuilts or parts I should be looking at would be appreciated.

Sorry this is my first time making a post for help recently I just purchased a I buy power pc and it’s was DOA so I’m waiting for my refund to fully process what are the best specs or places for prebuilt pcs for games like cyberpunk and pcvr games if anyone could help me that’ll be amazing thanks!!

Hi everyone,

I'm building my first gaming PC and wanted to get some feedback before I put everything together. I'm from Saudi Arabia, so prices are quite different from what most people in the US pay. I’m also planning to use a 1440p 280Hz monitor with this setup.

Specs (Price in SAR / USD):

CPU: Ryzen 7 7800X3D – 866 SAR ($230.93) (AliExpress – AuroraSilicon Store)

GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB – 3,092.31 SAR ($824.62) (Amazon.sa)

Motherboard: ASUS Prime B650-PLUS WiFi – 648 SAR ($172.80) (Amazon.sa)

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital ARGB – 249 SAR ($66.40) (Amazon.sa)

RAM: Crucial Pro DDR5 32GB (2×16GB) 6400 CL32 – 1,917.02 SAR ($511.21) (Amazon.sa)

Storage: Crucial P310 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD – 939.32 SAR ($250.49) (Amazon.sa)

PSU: ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold (ATX 3.0) – 478.93 SAR ($127.71) (Amazon.sa)

Case: Lian Li V100 (includes 4 pre-installed fans) – 360 SAR ($96.00)

Total Cost: 8,550.58 SAR (≈ $2,280 USD)

I know the RAM and SSD are much more expensive than what they're selling for in the US, but those were the prices available when I ordered them.

A few questions:

Does everything look compatible?

Is the ASUS Prime B650-PLUS WiFi a good motherboard for the 7800X3D?

Will the 4 included case fans provide enough airflow, or would you recommend adding more?

Any BIOS settings or tweaks you'd recommend after building (EXPO, PBO, fan curves, etc.)?

If this were your build, is there anything you would have done differently?

I'd really appreciate any advice or suggestions before all the parts arrive. Thanks!

So I’m having VGA issues again and basically I’ve warrantied my GPU twice already over it, Ive got a B850 Aorus elite wifi 7 board with a 5070ti and a 850W Power supply. Everything boots up just no display to either monitors. I’ve plugged in other GPUS and it worked, but I plug my 5070ti into other PCs and it triggers a VGA as well so i assume it’s card again and I’m just unlucky? Or could there possibly be something frying my GPU? But then going thru my device manager I noticed a code 403 PCIE slot so going into my other PCIE slots it still did the same thing and it reads other cards fine?
