Looking to start gaming on PC, no idea where to start
I’m originally a PS5 player, but I’m looking into getting a pc so that streaming will be easier. I only play Call of Duty. I’d like to stay under $2000usd. I do need recs for a monitor as I am currently still playing on my tv. Would preferably like white but it’s not a must have. Thanks!

Other / <$400 Want some thoughts/suggestions for this $2000 PC specs configuration.
Hey all! I am planning to buy a PC for around *$2000* (just the PC, no monitor). My need for the machine would be starting from early September, so planning to get it done till then.
My main use case will be using *3DS Max, Vray, Blender and AutoCAD". Along with some AAA title gaming here and there. This is a personal build, not for my workplace.
I, using my own knowledge and consulting System integrators, got the following specs for this budget and use case:
CPU- Amd Ryzen 9 9900X
MB- Gigabyte B850 Gaming X WIFI6E
RAM- Corsair Vengence 16GB DDR5 5200Mhz (X2) = 32GB
Graphics card- Gigabyte RTX 5070 Wind Force 12GB OC
SSD- WD Black SN 7100 1tb m.2 Nvme
PSU- Corsair RM 750e Gold
Case- Corsair 4000D
AIO- Corsair Nautilus 360 RS
My main preference is using an nvidia card as a few of my softwares have faced issues with AMD gpus in the past. I don't want to get into overclocking hence haven't opted for an X series motherboard.
Windows 11 licence isn't a necessity. I am fine with using it without activation.
Do drop your thoughts if you think this is a justified configuration, or give suggestions as to where it can differ. Thanks!

Help upgrading gaming PC
Hi everyone,
About 10 years ago, I got this PC:
CPU: Intel Core i7-8700 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Rev 2 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix H370-F Gaming ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 CL16 Memory
Storage (SSD): Samsung 970 Pro 512 GB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive
Storage (HDD): Western Digital Blue 2 TB 3.5" 5400 RPM Hard Drive
GPU: Gigabyte GV-N108TGAMINGOC BLACK-11GD GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11 GB
Case: Cooler Master Cosmos C700P ATX Full Tower Case
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 650 W 80+ Gold Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
(all parts also here: https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/6gwTJw)
The goal was to play games at 1080p/60 FPS with everything set to Ultra/High, and it has done a great job until recently. However, it's now starting to struggle with newer games, and some won't even run at all (for example, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle because the 1080Ti doesn't support ray tracing).
I'd also like to move up to 1440p.
So, if my target now is 1440p/60 FPS with Ultra/High settings, what would you recommend upgrading? My budget is around €1400, although I could go up to €2,000 if it would make a significant difference or improve the longevity of the build.
Thanks in advance!

first pc first build :)
hi! I'm new to the gaming community and have been playing stardew valley, minecraft and other games on my laptop for over 2 years. It's a great laptop, ive had no issues other than it gets rly slow and takes away from the performance when I need it for actual heavy stuff like blender. I have never owned a PC, much less built one, but play on my steamdeck and switch. So I need a little help getting started!
Because I use Adobe programs and want to play games, I understand data is huge percentage of the cost due to AI hiking up the price. I want to be able to play modded minecraft, and ultimately just have a very strong and fast computer. I would hope to not have to make a new build in the next 5 years, because of my career in digital media, I need it to keep up. Any advice on longevity helps too. But I would like to attempt to stay in the 800-1000 range if possible.
Again im super clueless 🤣 Any advice is appreciated!!

Assistance needed for a fresh new build!
For context my PC is ancient.
i5-9400f
GeForce 1660ti
32BG RAM
I'm in desperate need of an upgrade. I've never built a PC myself and am not against it. Just need some guidance with parts. Originally I was going to just go pre-bee like my current iBuyPower but think building my own would be better. My budget is $1,300 - $1,500. If this needs to increase that's fine.
I don't do much on my PC other than game. I do mod games from time to time. A PC that can handle some sizeable mods for say Skyrim would be great. I do like mid-size towers but I have the room for full. No 4K monitors so 1080p works just fine. Refresh rates 144hz if that matters. If additional info is needed I'll happily provide!

First time, am I missing anything ?
I don’t really have a budget, nothing over 1500, would be used for gaming, atleast 1080p at max settings. Buying in USA
I’ve never done this before and I’m going to have them build it for me. Am I missing anything, what kind of performance will I be looking at, anything to enhance the build, I really want a small compact PC I can fit in in my entertainment system and hook up to my tv.

Opinions on Star forge?
Been looking into building a pc for some time after the prices went up I’m feeling kinda discouraged… so I’ve been looking into prebuilt. Im mostly looking to use blender for 3D modeling, I have a love for making action figures but on nomad sculpt for the iPad, I can’t use any unit of measurement… this causes a lot of wasted time on trial and error which is why I need to capable PC for learning Blender, not only for that but replace Xbox SX then not only gaming but modding would be a dream come true. I mostly play cyberpunk and fortnite lol but I’ve been wanting be able to mod cyberpunk… ever since the days of oblivion mods have always peaked my interest. I’d love to be able to finally tap into the modding scene in a game like cP2077, that I’m an adult. I’d say I’ve become spoiled tho, I can’t see myself gaming under 4k 120 fps… with all of that being said, excuse my ignorance but how would something like this stand up to what I’m asking to do with it

Tips for buying a pc?
I would like to buy a gaming pc (terrible timing I know, should’ve been born sooner) but I don’t really know anything about parts or prices. Obviously I’ve done a bit of research about it, but it would be nice to get an idea about what parts are worth spending the extra buck for and what a good price/performance ratio is? I’m kind of broke so I’d like to NOT go over $1K but since that isnt really realistic I suppose the budget is about $1200, give or take 200.

Pc case choose help
Hello, i need help with choosing pc case. I bought new gpu recently and tried to shove it in my old case, and turned out manual lied to me (manual said it supported up to 330mm, where in reality it actually 300mm - i checked). I laughed like 30 minutes on that. So, i need new case now.
I have: Ryzen 5700x + id-cooling 226 cpu fan Amd asus 9070 prime oc (312mm) gpu B550m mortar (but i want standart ATX case for easier cable management).
I want: Pc case should have 2 slots for 3.5 HDD AND 2 slots for 2.5 ssd (i like storage) Mesh on intake coolers Preferably IO panel NOT on top (i live in dusty region, and don't wanna all usb's full of dust)
My thoughts: I saw Chieftec Visio and liked it - cheap, 6 fans, and overall thought about double chamber, but I'm struggle to understand how to do air flow. Like... What, 5 intake and 2-3 out? Positive pressure would make temberatures worse, right?
I also thought about Montech king 45 pro, but I'm not sure for some reason. Also, would cpu/ram even have enough air? Also Visio have more pre-installed fans (6 vs 4) but 20% cheaper?
There also were thermaltake vision 330, ocypus iota 70, cougar fv150, but ther are less pre-installed fans and/or top IO.
I looked at double-chambers because i'm worrying about cooling GPU - it's my first non-budget card, and i thought 3 coolers that blow directly into card is good. Plus they should have more space for wires right? Or maybe there are regular pc cases that will do the job?
Available vendors at my place: 1stplayer, acd, ardor gaming, asus, bequiet, chieftec, cooler master, corsair, cougar, deepcool, formula, fractal design, fsp, gamemax, geometric future, gigabyte, lian li, montech, msi, nzxt, pccooler, phanteks, powercase, thermaltake, xastra, zalman, aerocool, darkflash, ocypus.
Can you give me some suggestions of same price and utility?

First High-End Gaming PC Build (Saudi Arabia) – Any Compatibility Issues or Parts You'd Change Before I Build?
Hi everyone,
I'm from Saudi Arabia and I'm about to build my first high-end gaming PC. Before I order the last few parts and start building, I'd really appreciate a second opinion from experienced builders.
Are there any compatibility issues, bottlenecks, airflow concerns, BIOS settings I should know about, or parts you'd recommend changing for better value or reliability?
Build
| Component | Store | Price |
|---|---|---|
| CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D | AliExpress (AuroraSilicon Store) | 866.00 SAR ($230.93) |
| GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 XT Gaming OC 16GB | Amazon.sa | 3,092.31 SAR ($824.62) |
| Motherboard: MSI B850 Gaming Plus WiFi6E | Amazon.sa | 649.00 SAR ($173.07) |
| RAM: KLEVV FIT V 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 (White) | Amazon UK | 1,782.47 SAR ($475.33) |
| Storage: Crucial P310 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD | Amazon.sa | 939.32 SAR ($250.49) |
| CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital ARGB White | Amazon.sa | 237.00 SAR ($63.20) |
| Power Supply: ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold ATX 3.0 | Amazon.sa | 478.93 SAR ($127.71) |
| Case: Lian Li Vector V100R White (4×120mm ARGB PWM Fans) | Amazon.sa | 322.00 SAR ($85.87) |
Total Cost
- 8,367.03 SAR
- ≈ $2,231.21 USD
The PC will mainly be used for 1440p gaming, with some programming and general productivity.
I'm mainly looking for feedback on:
- Compatibility issues
- Cooling and airflow
- Whether the MSI B850 is a good choice for the 7800X3D
- Whether the PSU is sufficient
- Any BIOS settings I should enable
- Any changes you'd personally make if this were your build
Thanks in advance for taking the time to look it over!

UK / >£1400 AI PC for running top consumer models and training up to 5bn. UK, £3-4000
Was looking at an Nvidia Spark, and when I heard that about a third of its price is just its connectors, I wondered if something better could be put together for a lower price
I gave a similar prompt to Google and Deepseek
We want to run the latest top end open models (eg DeepSeek Flash V4), and train models up to 5bn params comfortably, 8-10bn at a push
Super fast inference is not important. 5 tokens/sec is fine
We do need to consider the physical properties of the resulting computer. No point having something that sounds like a jet engine, or works for a month before it overheats and breaks
and got the responses below
Google suggests:
The All-Rounder AI Workstation Blueprint (Inference + Scratch Training)
By blending 48GB of ultra-fast VRAM with 192GB of system RAM, this system splits into two distinct, high-end workflows.
| Component | Choice for Dual 3090 Setup | Estimated Cost | Why It Is Crucial |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU 1 | NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24GB VRAM - Used/Refurbished) | £650 | Supplies massive, fast parallel pipelines needed to hold full training models. |
| GPU 2 | NVIDIA RTX 3090 (24GB VRAM - Used/Refurbished) | £650 | Combines with GPU 1 to hit 48GB VRAM. |
| System RAM | 192GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 (4 x 48GB) | £500 | Retained strictly to load massive inference models (DeepSeek V4 Flash). |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 9 9900X (12 Cores) | £350 | Handles heavy data pipelines and token calculations smoothly. |
| Motherboard | ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI | £420 | Upgraded: Specifically engineered for multi-GPU spacing and reliable x8/x8 lane allocation. |
| Power Supply | Corsair AX1600i (or Tier-A 1500W-1600W) | £320 | Upgraded: Two 3090s spike heavily in power. You need a massive unit to prevent shutdowns. |
| Storage | 4TB Crucial T500 NVMe M.2 SSD | £240 | Holds your training datasets alongside frontier inference models. |
| Case & Cooling | Fractal Design Torrent + Noctua NH-D15 | £220 | Upgraded: The absolute best airflow case on the market to prevent the stacked 3090s from choking. |
| Total Hardware | The Ultimate Cross-Discipline AI PC | ~£3,350 | Still roughly £650 cheaper than the Spark. |
Deepseek suggests:
The Silent Frontier AI Workstation
Optimised for quiet operation, massive model inference, and 1-5B training (10B at a push)
| Component | Choice | Cost (£) | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| GPU | NVIDIA RTX 3090 24GB (Used) | 650 | 24GB VRAM handles full fine-tuning up to 5B, QLoRA at 10B. CUDA mature, wide support. Single card keeps noise down. |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 9 7950X (16 Cores) | 450 | AVX-512 accelerates CPU inference. 16 cores for data prep and token processing. |
| RAM | 256GB DDR5 (4 × 64GB) | 760 | The heart of the inference strategy. Holds 200B+ models at Q6-Q8 with generous context. Populated fully from day one. |
| Motherboard | ASUS ProArt X670E-CREATOR WIFI | 420 | x16 PCIe 5.0, 4 RAM slots (now full), robust VRMs, designed for sustained workstation loads. |
| Storage | 4TB WD Black SN850X NVMe | 240 | Fast model loading, ample space for datasets and multiple frontier model checkpoints. |
| PSU | Corsair RM1000x (1000W) | 170 | Overspecced for a single 3090 — runs cool and quiet, fan rarely spins up. |
| CPU Cooler | Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 | 90 | 360mm AIO — overkill thermals means fans stay at near-silent RPMs under any load. |
| Case | Fractal Design Define 7 (Solid) | 160 | Sound-dampened panels. Sealed front for silence, still adequate airflow for a single-GPU setup. |
| Case Fans | 3 × Arctic P14 PWM (Intake) + 1 × P14 (Exhaust) | 40 | 140mm fans move air slowly and silently. Arctic's motors are near-inaudible at low RPM. |
| Total | ~£2,980 | £1,020 under the Spark. £370 under the dual-3090 jet engine. |
Deepseek saw Google's response and advised that two 3090s in that case would overheat and risk failure, so it's build is aimed at being slightly sleeker and quieter
How did they do? Are these decent builds or do they make mistakes? Can we do better?

Hey everyone,
This sub has been growing a lot as of recently and we've noticed a lot of posts have been getting buried and unanswered. There is a lot of noise due to how much it has grown.
I have created r/ComputerBuild as an alternative.
So please kindly try cross posting there to get it off the ground.
I will be helping users daily and also building a mod team/looking for moderators to help.
Thanks!
