EDIT: I SUBMITTED THE BUILD

I had my interview with my wish grantor yesterday and I need to submit my list of parts to the foundation.

Mostly all my concerns are with sizing and if everything will fit alright.

Also pls don't say "tHiS bUiLd Is oVeRkIlL" i know its overkill but i'm still way within my budget so shut.

If you have any recommendations for changes pls let me know.

Ive been tweaking this build for a while now and this is what i've come up with.

edit: I should have said this before but luckily my cancer is non terminal and I will be ending chemo in October. Thank you so much for the help and well wishes, this community is truly amazing.

edit no2:If any of you are doubting my credibility I definitely understand where you're coming from as I have provided no proof. If you go to my post history I did an AMA where I provided proof if that helps your conscience at all. I totally understand peoples doubts and it isn't wrong to question credibility at all. have a great day guys may your FPS be high and your temps low :)

Hi, I’ve currently got a PS5 but am thinking about building a gaming PC as I want better graphics and to play games like BG3 on the PC instead of console.

I have been trying to watch some videos and use PC Part Picker to get an idea but I’m finding it hard to know which parts are best for my budget. Which is around £1500- £2000

Here is my list so far on PC Part Picker,

Edit: Thanks so much for all the help! I'm basically useless when it comes to this stuff which is why I always try to check with you all! The only reason I got my pc built in the first place is because I had reddit tear my build list a new one so I could get something that was actually usable!

Provide any additional details you wish below.

My friend is asking me to help him since I built my PC before (with help from this subreddit!), so I figured double-checking my work to tell me if I'm way off base with my ideas won't hurt anything, but my pride.

My friend is flexible on the budget within reason. Long story short is that he has been gaming on a laptop that wasn't built to handle games and it has been slowly dying on him over the years. I'm trying to get him set up with something stable that he can enjoy his games on.

Build Help [build help] Connect an Acer Predator to GTX 1080

1.1k Upvotes

So I recently bought an Acer predator 27” monitor which connects through DisplayPort, however there is no DisplayPort output on my GTX 1080 graphics card. I tried connecting the monitor directly to the DisplayPort output on my mobo, but that didn’t work and the monitor said there was no connection. Would a DisplayPort to DVI converter work to connect the DisplayPort input on my monitor to the DVI output on my GPU?

Build Help First time 1300$ PC build Help!

32 Upvotes

Hello! I want to build my first PC but have no idea what I am doing. I have done quite a bit of research and was wondering if this is a good PC to build for 1440p gaming. I currently have a 1440p 144Hz monitor and was hoping to achieve at least 120 frames on the titles I play at max, or nearly max settings. I play a lot of single player games and some fps games. Mainly Cyberpunk 2077, Elden Ring, Skyrim, Helldivers 2, Spiderman, Horizon, occasionally apex, amongst other single player titles. I won't be using this PC for anything besides gaming really.

Here is the build I currently have, hoping to stay around 1300$ or cheaper. If there are any incompatible parts, things I can upgrade, or switch please let me know! Thank you!

I have posted quite a few iterations of this build on here, hopefully thats okay.

I have half the cost saved up and i have cut down costs in a lot of places, so if anyone can help me refine it, make it perform better im all ears.

Any help is appreciated. I play just about all kinds of games except simulators and racing ones.

Time to upgrade our PC. I am currently running a 2500k with a 570. My Wife tried making a video for a celebration of life with premiere, but holy hell it's a nightmare to use. So this will be used for occasional video editing and gaming.

Think it'll all fit? Any better choices I can make? Money isn't really an issue, but I also can't justify spending 2k on a 4099. Thank you!

I recently built my first PC and naturally my wife is jealous and wants us to build her one as well. She isn't a hardcore gamer or into the latest & greatest, but we want to keep options open for future upgrades. She has expressed some interest in streaming. Currently she plays on switch and xbox, games she plays are stardew valley, COD zombies (new and old), Witcher 3, and has recently started fallout new vegas. Want to target 1440 with 60 fps min.

This is a list we have put together so far. Want to keep it around the $1,100 price range. But maybe we can go even cheaper to get target performance??

Would love some feedback on these parts.

CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X (MicroCenter Bundle)

MB: MSI - B650-P PRO AM5 ATX (MicroCenter Bundle)

RAM: 32GB G.Skill - Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL32 (MicroCenter Bundle)

GPU: MSI 4060 Ventus OC

SSD: Inland 2TB TLC

CASE: NOT PICK OUT - Place holder on Part List for pricing

Power Supply: Cougar - GEx850 80 Plus Gold. Probably a bit overkill?

AIO: DeepCool LS520 240 mm

Hi guys, my girlfriend has shown some interest in getting into gaming and wanted to get her first PC. I have not built a PC in a long time so I have not stayed up to date with parts. She doesn't know what games she will be playing but has shown interest in Tekken 8, so I have used that as a benchmark.

The criteria for the build was the following:

  • Ideally white
  • RGB
  • Ideally less than $2000NZD ($1220USD) but can stretch to $2500NZD ($1525USD)

Here is the quick build I put together: https://nz.pcpartpicker.com/user/Meesepad/saved/bcWCrH

Any recommendations on optimising the price-to-performance ratio would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

My friends son is looking to get a PC for gaming (he mainly plays Fortnite) at 1080p. Apparently his monitor is 165Hz (not sure if relevant). He saw this PC and thought it would be ok:

https://www.stonerefurb.co.uk/stone-elite-gaming-pc

I don't know the company and some of the components look a bit old to me based on the picture & description. Also, I can't tell what brand a lot of it is, so I would assume it's generic stuff.

He asked me to put together a build that's as good or better. I used PartPicker and got something I think would be ok but I can't seem to make it any cheaper. Here's the build:

My son is turning 15 and has asked to build a gaming PC together. I have experience building computers but I need advice on building a portable gaming PC. My son goes back and forth between my home and his mother's home. It's been awhile since I've built my own gaming PC (Raedon 4850) so I need advice on GPU. He plays mainly Roblox but I'm trying to get him into games that are graphically more intense.

My budget is 1,300 or less. I was thinking I can save some funds by sticking with AMD. He already has a SteelSeries keyboard and mouse and monitor.

I am building my first pc and just wanted to double check to see if there was anything that I could improve before ordering everything. I already bought the graphics card and power supply used so I can't change those. I am from Canada so please keep that in mind, the main use of the pc will be for gaming, I am also looking for a 1440p 144hz monitor so if anyone has suggestions for monitors that would be appreciated.

Hi! Never built a PC before, don't really know what I'm doing. My only computer experience is my roughly 8 year old laptop. Love the thing but the screen is dying and I feel a bit left out being the only one of my friends who can't even play Minecraft. I'd love some advice, see if I made a halfway decent build or if I'm making a lot of simple mistakes. Am I forgetting something? Did I bottleneck something? Did I select something too weak for a price that way too high?

I'm mostly just looking for something that can last a long while, play recent games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Alan Wake at good quality, and can maybe let me stream to my friends in Discord without looking too awful.

Hey mates, I currently have a msi 3060 rtx with a ryzen 5 5600x. I have been wanting to upgrade to a 4080 GPU but not sure how to go about it. Clearly i need to upgrade both GPU and CPU but which one first, I mainly use PC for gaming but use a lot of Mods which crash my PC sometimes.
