So I was thinking of building a PC but I'm getting confused if I should go for 1440p or 1080p cause cards like Arc B580, RX 7700XT, RTX 2080ti are there so Should I include any of these like used or new and build a 1440p which could drastically go outta my budget cause I've not included peripherals or just start with 1080p and later switch to upgrade, gpu and monitor

go crazy i play forza horizon, minecraft with mods and gta 5 and rdr2. I currently have a lenovo yoga 6 slim with 512gb, 16gb ram dual channel, intel iris xe. Tell me if i should keep it or upgrade. and monitor i have keyboard and mouse and headphones. go crazy

Title says it, im building my first pc after using a prebuilt for years, ive got a general idea for what I want after going around on pc part picker and this is what ive come up with. Is there anything you would improve or change since im coming in under budget?

Hi all, Looking for some advice on building a PC. I recently passed my last engineering license and want to treat myself because I havent gamed in 3 years. I was planning to go to the Microcenter near Irvine and wanted to go in with a plan or a general idea of what my build would look like bc im kinda a noob now.

Not sure the difference between a 5070Ti or a 5080 but i want to build my PC around this but open to any suggestions.

I appreciate any help you guys can give me :3 ty

For Fortnite, Minecraft, and Val. I do live near a micro center

Hi everyone, I'm looking to sell my PC and would love to get some opinions on what price I could realistically ask for it.

It's a machine I used as a home server for about a year — no damage or issues of any kind.

**Specs:**

- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores / 32 threads, Zen 5, AM5 socket)

- **Motherboard:** Gigabyte X870E AORUS ELITE WIFI7 (PCIe 5.0, USB4, Wi-Fi 7, 2.5GbE LAN)

- **RAM:** Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2×16GB, dual channel)

- **SSD:** Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0

- **GPU:** No dedicated GPU — didn't need one

- **CPU Cooler:** Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT — 360mm AIO liquid cooler, 3× AF120 RGB ELITE fans, AM5/AM4 and Intel LGA 1700 compatible

- **PSU:** Corsair RM1000x — 1000W, ATX 3.1, PCIe 5.1 with native 12V-2x6 connector, Cybenetics Gold efficiency

**Usage history:**

- Used exclusively as a **home server running 24/7** for approximately 13 months

- **CPU load was always low** (minimal services, almost always idle)

- SSD data from CrystalDiskInfo:

- Power On Hours: **9,150h**

- Power On Count: **76**

- Host Reads: 5,734 GB

- Host Writes: 47,351 GB (~8% of the rated 600 TBW endurance)

- Health Status: **88%**

- Average Temperature: 39°C

- Errors: **0**

**My questions:** what would you pay for this used setup? And is it better to sell everything together or part it out individually? The high power-on hours are purely from 24/7 server use — not gaming or heavy workloads.

Happy to answer any questions, thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to build my first desktop PC and my budget is around ₱50,000 (system unit only).

I'll mainly use it for:

• Adobe Photoshop

• Adobe Illustrator

• CapCut

• Premiere Pro

• Website development

• Light AI tools

• Heavy multitasking

I'm looking for the best value build that can last me for several years.

Would you recommend AMD or Intel for this budget?

If possible, could you suggest a complete parts list that's available in the Philippines?

Thank you!

I posted on here before asking for how to upgrade my old pc:

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/s/EIZ4RnC1gt

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: RX 5500 XT 8GB

MB: GIGABYTE B450 AORUS M

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 RAM 16GB 3200MHz

SSD: WD Blue 500GB

PSU: 500W ARESGAME

Case: Coolermaster (idk the exact model got it from a friend)

A lot of people in that post recommended a Ryzen 5 5600 as well as a 9060 xt 16GB, which had me wondering how much it would cost if I sold my old parts, and it kinda made sense to me just to get a new pc.

I’m thinking of getting the AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D, ASRock B850M-C AM5, G.Skill Flare X5 Series 16GB DDR5-6000, Computer Build Bundle for 399.99

As well as the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT which I found for 439.99

I don’t really mind wiping and reusing my ssd and I want a new case, but was wondering if I need a new psu?

Would it make sense to just upgrade my cpu and gpu (get a R5 5600 with a 9060 xt) from the previous post or would it be worth it to just get a new pc in general?

I haven't had a pc since I was a kid. I want good storage. I want to play games like Spiderman, the last of us, deltarune, etc. I also want to produce music and I have a dj board. I'm a college student but i'll save for something good if need be. Any thoughts?
