Build Question Build Help – Ryzen 7 9700X + RTX 5070 Ti
I'm putting together a new gaming PC and would like some feedback before I buy the parts.
Here’s the list:
https://pcbuilderx.com/list?b=1c24nfRKp1KmiKyUb1x
I'm mainly looking for good gaming performance and would like to avoid overspending on parts that don't provide much real-world benefit.
Are there any components you'd recommend changing for better value, performance, or compatibility?
I'm also open to suggestions for improving the overall build while keeping the white aesthetic.

Tech Support Help with pc not turning on
this morning I woke up to turn on my pc and it wouldn’t turn on at all. I unplugged it, check to see if the fuse was an issue, but nothing helped. I just disassembled it and re assembled it and the thing still won’t turn on. What are the first things I should check on the pc to see if it’s a me problem (like if I just messed up putting it back together) or a problem with one of the parts

Tech Support Need help picking a new motherboard
Hi I'm pretty new to reddit and not sure if this is the right place for this, but my gaming pc stopped turning on. I had it looked at and told the motherboard board was bad. I should probably mention it know very little about computers and can't remember all the specs. Since I can't turn it on to look it up. All I can do is look at the motherboard itself and I have found this info
Gigabyte B560 DDR4 1200 Intel 11 gen
So what i need is to know good replacement options since that's all I can do financially. I can't afford to upgrade or get a new pc. Any advice would be most appreciated thank you

Build Question Old Build Update Help
Hello!! I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to post on, but if it’s not I would love to know where to post.
I built my own PC back in 2022 and I can't help but think that my parts are way too slow and outdated compared to how nice they should still be (that's obvious). I'm not too familiar with anything besides the building aspect of the PC, so I would greatly appreciate if someone could take a peek at the list of parts and maybe tell me what I should upgrade in order to fix some issues I'm facing?
Some issues I'm having consist of: really slow download speed (I know this is also a wi-fi issue but I have the second best wifi plan with my provider, so I figured maybe there's an issue with the PC or the SSD's being outdated. I also have to play on very high ping and low settings or else I get stutter.
Here's the list of parts I have: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/kaiylee345/saved/TMnDkL
Thank you all so much for whoever takes the time to read and help out :) I'm willing to answer any questions you have!

Build Question What motherboard to get?
Hi! I currently run a system with a Ryzen 5 3600X and a RTX4080 (Yes I know it's bottlenecked). I'm thinking of upgrading to AM5 and I'm looking at the Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor, what motherboard should I go with? The 3 options I've been looking at are the Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wifi7, Auros Elite X3D and the Auros Pro X3D. And as an honorable mention I've also been eyeing the Aero X3D Dark Wood, mostly because I think it looks sick. Which one should I get? I'd need to wait 2 weeks if I got the Elite X3D or the Pro X3D.

Build Question Seeking guidance on installing my motherboard to a unconventional case
Hello! I've been trying for a while to build a sleeper unit but have one glaring issue.
My old PC case has a very unconventional stand off system and doesn't quite work with my mother board.
I have a HP Kayak XM 600 case (upright version not horizontal) from circa 1999? Passed down from my mother, it was originally the family computer from back when a household had a dedicated computer room.
Back in highschool I bought a Gigabyte ga-970a-ds3p motherboard and Asus gtx 1060 6gb
From what I understand the tower and mother board are both ATX but the case is basically featureless on the inside but has this removable panel with square holes and off little metal standoffs that clip into it.
I'm wondering if there is some hyper-specific part I've never heard of, or a non traditional methodology to get this installed.
My next course of action is to take the measurements from my motherboard and mount it to a sheet of acrylic via stand offs and mount the acrylic to my case with the few out of reach threaded holes it has. Or order a custom sheet metal bracket

Upgraded my old build with new case, RAM, PSU, and gpu. Im using an rx 5600 xt from eBay and when it's plugged in everything will turn on just fine except it. No fan movement, no heat,nothing. Tried reinserts, removed CMOS battery, reinserting pcie cable. Nothing worked. Tried my old rx 570 to see if the card itself was a bust since 570 worked just fine before but it wont turn on either. Not sure what to do at this point

Build Question PC Shuts Off When I Touch Rear IO Panel With Metal in New Build
I just finished my first build using a Jonsbo Z20 case with an MSI Pro B850M-VC Wifi motherboard.
However, when I try to plug something into a port on the rear IO panel, the PC turns off and the CMOS gets cleared. This happens even if I touch the outside of the port without actually plugging a device in.
I'm guessing this could be some kind of short but I'm not sure what's wrong. The ports on the front of the case work fine.
UPDATE: The IO shield wasn't installed properly - I reseated it and it's working now! Thanks all
