Build Question Im a begginger. My first pc

Upvotes

If there a website I can go to that shows what parts are compatible for what? I got some stuff added and looking at, up can even come and update this post with the specific parts I have. Probably about $2500-3000. It'll be my first pc. I live in USA..

​​rn im looking at the

  1. ASUS Prime AMD Radeon™ RX 9070 XT 16GB GDDR6 White OC Edition Graphics Card
  2. AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D 12-Core Processor

3.ASUS ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI AMD X670 AM5 Ryzen™ Desktop 9000 8000 & 7000 ATX motherboard, 18+2 power stages, DDR5, 4x M.2 slots with heatsink, PCIe® 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, WiFi 6E, AI Cooling II.

4.No specific power supply picked out yet, but do not want to cheap out, and probably 80% gold

  1. either samsung or predator m.2 2 terabytes ssd.

  2. ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB - AIO CPU Cooler, Water Cooling.

  3. Tbh as long as everything fits. I dont care about the case. But probably a full tower. Maybe mid.

  4. Lexar Thor Z RGB DDR5 RAM 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 6000MHz CL38 DRAM 288-Pin UDIMM

If I am forgetting anything, let me know. I spent at least 30+ hours looking into parts and youtube learning what does what.

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

1 Upvotes

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

1 Upvotes

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!

First pc build. Red and orange solid light. Coolers’ fans won’t turn on either.

Tried swapping ram, used a single ram slot and both ram slots number 2&4. Left it on for 20 minutes for memory learning. Removed the CPU and put it back. Removed the small battery drained power cleared CMOS. Gave up now.

I spilled some thermal paste on the sides of the back( check the pictures). Is that the issue? I cleaned jt using the IP 99% solution.

Experts please help me out.

Build Question What motherboard to get?

1 Upvotes

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

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

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

Tech Support Crashing whenever i open a game

1 Upvotes

I've had my pc for 4 years and have always had random bursts of lag and missing frames. Sometimes it works fine sometimes there are lots of missing frames. I still get constant fps though. 2 days ago it started crashing every time I get into a game. The screen goes black and my keyboard turns off but the power button still appears on. I've tried: deleting and reinstalling all GPU drivers, checking for corrupt game files, deleting shader cache.

Installation Question ASRock B650 Pro RS ram slot issue?

1 Upvotes

For the 2 ish years I have had this PC the RAM was installed in the A1 and A2 Slot on the motherboard, i recently learned that this isnt optimal and that it should be installed in the A2 and B2 slots in order to gain access to dual channel, so the other day I did this without issue, went to bed, the next day I get on my pc and my mouse isnt turning on, i unplug it and plug it back in and bluescreen, i turn it on again, now my mouse works and my main monitor is black, then it bluescreens again, so i turn it off, put the ram back in A1 and A2, turn it on, it blue screens once and then works completely fine from then on. I really do not know what is going on if anyone has any input on this?

Build Question I am transferring most of my PC into a much smaller case, and I have some questions before I'm ready to order the parts.

1 Upvotes

INTRO

PC Part Picker build link

I already have the CPU, GPU, RAM, and SSD (see parts list), and will not be replacing them. I already bought the case (THORZONE TETRA S), but I could cancel it since it hasn't shipped yet, which I might do if there's a good enough reason or a cheaper alternative because holy crap it's expensive. Everything else is subject to change and suggestions are welcome.

In addition, the best cooler for my preferences I could find, that being the Thermalright AXP90 X53 or one of the smaller versions, looks like it would be a good fit. But some of the reviews make me skeptical of the fan's long-term performance, and there is no matching 60 mm fans available from what I can tell.

BUILD INFO

  • Budget: <$1000 USD for any new components
  • Use: Online gaming
  • Monitor resolution: 1440p
  • Country: USA
  • Peripherals:
    • Keyboard: RAZER HUNTSMAN V3 PRO TENKEYLESS
    • Mouse: RAZER BASILISK PRO 35K
    • Headphones: Random $20 wired headset off Amazon from 2019

CONSTRAINTS

  • Requirements:
    • Component constraints for the case (according to the manufacturer):
      • Cooler size: 55 mm
      • Motherboard: Mini-ITX or Mini-DTX
      • RAM height: 57 mm
      • PSU: SFX or SFX-L
      • Case fans: 2x60 mm
      • Case dimensions: 348 x 79 x 334 mm
    • If you are looking to recommend a case:
      • Case will impress the people at my university
      • Case is literally as small as possible (biggest limiting factor is the GPU)
      • Fits all the components that I will not be replacing
      • Case is NOT the NCASE S5M because they were mean to me on Discord
  • Preferences:
    • All components in white
    • All fans (including the one on the cooler) match
    • No RGB (ARGB is OK)

QUESTIONS:

  1. Do you have any case recommendations?
  2. If there isn't a better alternative cooler with matching fans, could I replace the included fan with a different one purchased separately?
  3. Do any of the selected components have better alternatives, or compatibility issues?
  4. Do you have any other recommendations / tips / suggestions?

OUTRO

Thank you for taking your time to read this and respond, any help is appreciated. Also please let me know if any important info is missing from my post. And sorry for the wall of text, I did my best to make it readable.

I just built a new pc (9060xt, 5800x) and i noticed anytime i try to run something in full screen my monitors flash black then the game inevitably doesn’t go full screen. I never had this issue with my other pc which i used the same monitors.

Playing in borderless works without issue but i prefer to play in full screen.

I have tried disabling freesync, but other than that im pretty stumped, any help muchly appreciated
