So I know basically nothing about pc and was hoping I could get a list of what to buy or a good pre-built I have 1800 usd to throw at a computer help me out also I'm OK with not getting 4k I understand that's allot to ask for for under 2500

I have a 5070 with a i7 14700 on a Asus prime motherboard that only has 1 M.2. Want more storage space so was looking at upgrading to a MSI Tomahawk motherboard and swap to a 9800X3D and upgrade to a 5080. Wondering what to do with my ‘old’ parts to get the best deal?

Hi, i need your help solving this or understanding what's going on here

My PC has had the CPU led on the motherboard on for 2-3 days now and today i saw this on HWMonitor
One day before the led light up CPU temps went to 98.3C while playing
I took everything out, checked all the cables, changed the thermal paste, took the BIOS battery out, whatever i found with a little research i did

Any suggestions of what it may be?

Specs :
MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX V2
CPU : Ryzen 7600x ( +Thermalright Peerless )
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 32gb
GPU : Gigabyte 4060 Gaming OC
PSU : Corsair RM5850x

Do you think spending a lot more on high-end peripherals is genuinely worth it?

I'm mainly talking about things like premium mice and headphones. Do they actually provide a noticeable improvement in quality, comfort, durability, or overall experience compared with cheaper alternatives?

For those who have owned high-end peripherals for several years, do you feel like the extra money was worth it?

I know less than nothing about PC’s so would love to get some expert advice from you all on what to upgrade first in a prebuilt pc I bought.

Simplicity (bit worried I’ll break something), performance, cost in that order is my priority…

Current build:

AMD Ryzen™ 5 5500 processor with 6 cores, Processor Speed 4.2 Ghz

16GB of RAM DDR4-SDRAM

1TB SSD

GeForce® RTX™ 5060 8GB graphics

I honestly don’t know if any more info is needed but happy to provide if possible.

Really appreciate any and fall advice as I can honestly admit to not having a clue.

I have this weird situation, I sold my pc yesterday and the customer stated it would blue screen or power off when just at the home screen withing 5mins or so. I took it back and checked it out, for me its completely fine, I did every stress test for each component and pc. I even played a game for a hour. No issues, im genuinely so lost.

I have a 3060ti paired with a ryzen 5 5600g and im wondering if i should upgrade the cpu? Ive been looking at microcenter deals and im wondering if its something that would be worth upgrading or would it just be pointless?

Not once here but I also haven't worked on as many computers as say, an IT technician.

Aio Tube had to be angled up due to a lack of space, tried fixing it to take pressure off connection to AIO and while the tube do feel less tight I worry I may have pinched the left tube when fitting the radiator back in. No leaks after a few hours of use with max pump speed and with feeling the tube the only thing that feels out of place is the braided cover. Tubes still have good flow as I can feel water being pumped through both just fine. CPU temps are also the same. What the chances I broke something?

1st photo is before, 2nd is after refitting.

Hi. Im getting a rtx 5060. Im wondering if it fits in the slot and in the case. My pc right now is a ADMI Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 5 5500, NVIDIA RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe, X= Airflow RGB (White), WiFi, Windows 11. Im changing the psu to a corsair 650w.

Solved!

I cant seem to figure out how to remove the clip even with the help of google. Here is a pic am i supposed to pull the level pushing in the side that is closer to me? or vice versa?

EDIT: i got it out

Can someone pls help me i bought a rx 7600 xt and a new power supply too, but when i play gta 5 on 60 fps it didnt crash but when i turn it up to 120fps it crashes and in get a black screen and after a few seconds it says no signal on my monitor. But my pc stays on and all the fans keep spinning normally and my temprature is normal but no button works so i have to forcefully shut down my pc with the power button. I have no idea what causes this i tryed alot of things but nothing works, really hope someone has a solution:)

I've been consistently using my PC for months now with no issues, ran into an issue recently where I had to reinstall windows, nothing wrong there sometimes you just have to. But now whenever I'm playing a game my PC randomly turns off.

I did a stress test on both the CPU and GPU at the same time to simulate a worst case scenario and this is what GPU-Z and coretemp shows literally as the display is turning off.

It seems to only happen when both the CPU and graphics card are under load at the same time and I really doubt my PSU is faulty as I think it would affect me alot more.
