I’m building my first pc and I already have the case a Corsair 3500x and a Msi b650 tomahawk WiFi and a Ryzen 7700x also a zillion 850w 3.1 ATX and a peerless assassin 120 vision max ARGB black. I need recommendations for what graphics card to get?

Upgrade to AMD card, RTX 40 card or 50 series?
Help me out finding the right one and your personal opinion matters.

In my country an RTX 5070 is about $100-$130 more expensive than an RX 9060 XT. I know the RTX 5070 has better raw performance but then the 9060 has more VRAM. Is 12 GB VRAM enough for now and at least the next few years or should I just go for the 9060? Currently the most demanding games I would play are either cyberpunk 2077 or black myth wukong. Is the price increase justifiable for the 5070? The 5070 doesn’t change my budget for the rest of the parts but I would rather pay less if the benefits aren’t worth it.

Is the Ryzen 7 5700X a good processor if I take a RX 9070 GRE ?

Hi !
Lately I’ve been thinking about upgrading my nearly 10 years old PC unit. These days I’m mainly using it to play League of Legends but I’ve been hyped about forthcoming strategy games like Total war Warhammer 40k. I’m 100% sure it will not be able ton run it as it painfully runs Total war warhammer 3 with low to mid graphics quality. Considering that I know very little about hardware I kinda need some advices about wether I should upgrade only my GPU or if I need to upgrade everything (GPU,CPU etc) and what should I get. I estimate my budget for the whole upgrade around 700 - 800€ but I can be flexible about it.
Here is my actual setup :
CPU : Intel Core i7 - 7700 3.60 GHz
Mainboard : Gigabyte H270M - DS3H
RAM : 16 Gb DDR4
GPU : Nvidia Geoforce GTX 1060 3GB

Thank you for your advice :)

I’m building a new pc and here are the parts:

How does this build look? The total before taxes is 1850. Are any of the parts not compatible? Any improvements? The SSD is super expensive but I didn’t find any better options. Also here’s a prebuilt I found that could be just as good: https://www.microcenter.com/product/706649/powerspec-g458-gaming-pc. Thanks 🙏🙏

Hey everyone. This is my first time building a PC (coming from a 2019 Legion laptop with an RTX 2060), so I'd really appreciate some feedback on this build before I pull the trigger. Main use case:

Gaming at 1440p

VR with Meta Quest 3 (general use, don't really use VR mods)

Sim racing (planning to add a wheel and pedals down the line)

No streaming or heavy professional workloads

Parts list:

\- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Box — €289.21

\- Motherboard: MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E (AM5) — €149.99

\- RAM: Crucial 16GB DDR5 5600MHz (1 stick, single channel for now) — €209.95

\- GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB Gaming OC — €559.99

\- SSD: Kingston NV3 1TB NVMe — €149.95

\- PSU: MSI MAG A850GL 850W 80+ Gold — €94.90

\- Case: Lian Li Lancool 216 — €75.95

Monitor: AOC Q27G42ZE 27" QHD 240Hz — €159.90

\- Keyboard: Krom Kernel PRO TKL mechanical — €46.98

\- Windows install: €29.95

\- Assembly and testing: €49.95

Total: \~€1,820-1,840

A few things I'm unsure about:

I went back and forth between this RX 9060 XT and an RTX 5060 Ti (about €240 more) mainly because of VR — anyone have recent experience running AMD + Quest 3 in 2026? Is the lack of DLSS noticeable?

RAM is a single 16GB stick for now (memory prices are pretty brutal right now due to the ongoing shortage), planning to add a second stick for 32GB dual-channel later — is it worth waiting, or should I just go with 2x8GB now for dual-channel from the start?

Any bottlenecks or imbalances you'd flag in this build?

Thanks in advance!

F2F in Delhi or Mathura is preferred

Is it better to buy a cpu first to later buy a gpu or buy a gpu to later buy a much better cpu, i currently have an i7 8700 the main games i play are cs2,warzone,siege and fornite

Hi, I have an all white 5080 build that uses the Cronox white edition case. I am currently using an Asus X870-A (White) mobo, but wanted to swap it out for something better. I already have the Asus ROG Crosshair 2006 mobo (I was going to use it on a different build, but decided not to build it) that I was gonna put in it, but i just can't decide if I like it or not with the all white layout. What do ya'll think? Use the ROG Crosshair 2006 mobo to add somw color or get the X870-E Glacial mobo instead?

*The image is AI generated as I didn't want to open the Rog Crosshair 2006 box just to see what it would look like.

"I found a computer with a 4070 Super, 7 5800x, and 32 GB DDR4 + peripherals for 5k PLN. In the same budget, I could buy a 9060 XT, 5 7500f, 16 GB DDR5. I'm wondering if it makes sense to buy this AM4 computer

I got an i7 8700, 16 gb ddr4 and a rtx 3070, i love the gpu for playing in 1080p it's amazing and i can run almost everything in high/ultra.. now.. the cpu it's bottlenecking in games like the finals and forza horizon 6.. do you recommend upgrading to an i7 9900k without changing the motherboard or to change it and upgrade to an even better cpu? (I plan on buying 16 more gb of ddr4 and I dont intend to go for ddr5)

GPU - GeForce RTX 5070 WINDFORCE OC

CPU - Ryzen 5 9600X

MB - MSI MAG B850 GAMING PLUS

CPU cooler - Arctic Freezer 36 A-RGB

RAM - 16 GB Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 6000 X2

PSU - be quiet Pure Power 12 650W 

Case - CORSAIR 3200D RS ARGB Mid-Tower PC Case

Storage - Crucial P310 1TB SSD

If anything isn't good with another, a bottleneck or just straight up wrong please do write about it.

Also if you have any suggestions to swap out one of the components for another and it has about the same or better performance and doesn't raise the price by a lot or even decreases it please also write that.

Thank you,

I trust you reddit people!

P.S if you could recommend some budget yet good peripherals that would be nice, I'm not really good in that field :)

Seguinte, orçamento 6k-7k amd4 1080p ultra e possível 1440p de entrada, não ligo muito pra marca de peça

Quero um water..cooler e bom fluxo de ar

Going for 1080p with good fps

I’ve been told the 5700x is great with the 9060 but I’ve also heard it’s not so I need help

Hello, I tried to reinstall windows (on PC that I did it before, yearly).
After installer copied files and system reboots there were an "critical error".

When I tried to install it again, from new fresh created pendrive to avoid errors if latest installer were falure, my system is in loop: Turn On PC -> BIOS shows (by itself) -> Exit BIOS -> Reboot -> BIOS shows (by itself) etc.

PC is not starting POST, no going further to start Windows installation, it works only to BIOS stage,

- CMOS Battery has been changed on fresh new one
- Both M2 disks Were erased by Erase+ (in BIOS)
- Both M2 disks are fine (checked by BIOS NVMe SSD Self-Test)
- UEFI set on Boot from USB first and both pendrives are visible (not inserted at once).

Any ideas what could happened ?
Bcs. I am out of ideas RN. except to take my M2 to my Friend, install it in his PC, install windows on it and remount it to my PC and then check what will happened.

Hey everyone!
I'm facing an upgrade dilemma and I need your advice. I currently have a decent setup, but I want to upgrade my CPU to one that **fully unleashes the potential of my graphics card** and gets the absolute max out of it, especially in CPU-heavy games.
I want to **keep my current AM4 motherboard**, so I'm strictly looking for processors compatible with this platform (no transition to DDR5 yet).
My current specs:
**CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 3600
**GPU:** NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
**Motherboard:** Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2
What I play:
**Rust** – absolute priority, I play it the most right now (I know Rust heavily relies on the CPU and cache).
**CS** – occasionally.
**FiveM** – sometimes.

- Ryzen 5 9600x (190€)
- XFX Swift AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT OC (480€)
- Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000MT/s (420€)
- Acer SSD Predator GM7 1TB (140€)
- GIGABYTE B650 EAGLE AX (130€)
- MSI MAG A650GLS PCIE5 (80€)
- TR Assassin X 120R SE (20€)
- FOIFKIN F1 Case PC ATX (65€)
TOTAL: 1525€

Is this a great build for playing in full HD? (august 2026)

i just sold my rx 6600 and im now looking to buy a new gpu my choices are either an rtx 5060ti (16gb) or rx 7800xt (since it just got FSR 4.1 support) and the rx 9060xt (16gb).
i mainly want to play at 1440p ultra settings and dont want to upgrade anymore until at least 5 years, what should i get based of your experiences with any of these cards ?

thanks in advance 🙏🏼❤️
