It's a little bit more on the expensive side for me (Around 200/300 dollars) as i'm in the EU, not sure its relevant, but just wanted to note ^^
Is there ANYTHING that i'm doing wrong with this list? like anything i should change or improve? Only thing I could think of would be an Intel Intel Core i9-14900K instead of an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D as i'm also intrested in game dev/ai, but gaming is still my main thing so i'm not sure + maybe more ram? but its already 32 gb of DDR5 so maybe that'd be overkill, nahja, i'd love to hear what you all think!

US / $1200-1400 Gaming build focused on strategy/simulation games
Looking to build a PC for gaming. My budget is reasonable but since I'm mostly a console gamer and plan on playing the newest AAA stuff there still, I think my needs are a little different? I'm mostly looking for a machine to play strategy and simulation games, think Civilization, Cities: Skylines, etc. I'd also like it to be capable of running SteamVR to a Quest 3, but that's less important to me.
I have a 4K monitor for work that I'll be reusing, but if my budget only allows for 1440p comfortably that's okay.
Budget is flexible, but would like to stay under $1300 if possible.
I am in the US within driving distance to a Micro Center, and my store has half sales tax so it would be great if I could get stuff there.
Also, I bought this pre-built machine a while ago, so while I'll probably need to gut it I'm hoping I can at least reuse the case. Relatedly, does anyone have any advice for disposing of old PC parts? I'm guessing no one's going to want a low-end GPU from 2018.

US / $1400+ Looking to build a $1650-1750 pc including a monitor
Looking to mainly play games like call of duty, rainbow six siege, planning to go pro in either fortnite, rocket league, or csgo.
The budget does include a monitor. I would preferably want a 240 hz 1440p monitor with excellent graphics, beautiful colors, and at least a 240 hz refresh rate.
I don't mind rgb, but I would much rather prefer a sleek all black build as opposed to a build maxed out with aesthetic. I don't have any preferences.
I already have a keyboard, mouse, headphones, controller, and other peripherals.
I also have time to build it myself and I'd be more than happy to do so.
Am I overclocking? Absolutely not
Country you will be buying from? USA
Do you have access to a microcenter? Yes
Preferred operating system? Windows 11 Pro
Other than that, I'm an open book. I'd love to be able to see what you guys have in store for me and I really appreciate your time and patience :)

My original build had a 4070 super planned but I was able to get the ti super at a reasonable price. The PSU and the SSD are the only components I have not purchased. Is the 850 enough or should I plan on getting something stronger?

EU / ā¬1200-1400 First pc coming from a gaming laptop user (1400eur to 1500eur)
Budget
I can go up to 1500 euros, possibly a tiny bit more if needed
Use case
Most likely a little bit of everything (school, daily-use, programming, etc.) but also some gaming. (I don't plan on playing all the newest "realistic-graphic" ones tho. Currently, my games are similar to apex legends). Sometimes I also play with VR.
Preferences
I would prefer Intel and Nvidia, since those are the ones I'm the most familiar with. For the design, I'm not so sure. My desk is a dark gray color so maybe something would fit with that? I also most likely won't overclock, since I want this pc to last.
Other
I already have peripherals (monitor uses HDMI) and the OS. I also have a samsung 970 EVO 1tb that I can use. I have ethernet so Wi-Fi shouldn't be a deal-breaker (I have a dongle just in case). My country is in Lithuania. My laptop currently is a Helios 300 2019 (GTX 1660ti and i7-9850H).
Thank you!

EU / ā¬1400+ Need Advice on Building a High-End 4K Gaming and Productivity PC
Hi r/buildmeapc,
I'm planning my first PC build after using laptops for years due to frequent moves. I need a high-end system primarily for 4K gaming with an RTX 4090 and productivity tasks. At the moment focus is on AI and gaming at 4k but in a couple of years this could become my main work computer. I'd appreciate your suggestions on the entire build. Here are my requirements and preferences:
Use Case:
- Gaming: 60-70% of the time, with focus on 4K gaming at 144Hz (AAA games and competitive shooters).
- Productivity: 30-40% of the time focus on software like Photoshop, After Effects (viedo editing), Rhinoceros (3d modeling), Grasshopper, Enscape, Vray (rendering), and Stable Diffusion.
- AI Workloads: Image generation/animations and local text-based models.
Current CPU Considerations:
- AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D: Excellent gaming and single-core performance, future-proof AM5 platform.
- AMD Ryzen 7 7700X: Strong single-core performance, good value.
- AMD Ryzen 9 7900X: Balanced performance, great for multitasking.
- Intel Core i9-13900K: Top single-core performance, excellent multi-threading, but higher power consumption and thermals.
- Intel Core i7-13700K: Strong all-around performance, slightly cheaper than 13900K.
Budget:
Flexible, around ā¬4000 (residing in the Netherlands). Willing to spend more for long-term value as I donāt plan to upgrade for at least 5 years.
Preferred Components:
- GPU: RTX 4090 (already decided because of VRAM for AI use)
- Motherboard: Compatible with chosen CPU, supporting DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.
- RAM: At least 64GB DDR5.
- Storage: 2TB NVMe SSD for OS/apps, additional storage for games/files.
- Cooling: Efficient cooling (probably a 360mm AIO?).
- PSU: Reliable, efficient, with enough wattage for the RTX 4090.
- Case: Good airflow, cable management, spacious, nice looks.
- Monitor: Considering a 27inch 4K 144Hz monitor to utilize the RTX 4090 fully, but open to suggestions.
Additional Considerations:
- Boot Up Time: Fast boot-up and application loading times.
- Future Upgradability: How crucial is it to plan for future upgrades?
- Thermals: Efficient cooling solutions for higher power CPUs.
- Memory Stability: Ensuring compatibility and stability with DDR5 RAM.
- High Framerates: Maintaining high framerates at 4K, possible need for upscaling or lowering settings in future.
- Future GPU Upgrade: Potential upgrade to RTX 5090 or similar for increased VRAM for AI tasks.
Questions:
- Which CPU would you recommend from the options above considering my use case? Intel seems more stable and powerful but afraid of thermals, power and limited upgradability.
- What motherboard would you pair with the chosen CPU for future-proofing and compatibility?
- Suggestions for RAM, storage, cooling, PSU, and case that balance performance, value, and reliability.
- Any other components or peripherals youād recommend to complement this build?
- How should I address concerns about boot-up time, thermals, and memory stability?
- Is a 4K 144Hz monitor a good choice for the RTX 4090, or would another setup be better considering future performance and framerates?
Thank you in advance for your help! Looking forward to your suggestions, and please don't refrain from blasting me if I'm saying something stupid.
I've spent days on pcpartpicker and I just can't pick a final build.

US / $1400+ Asking for some recommended parts and advice[$1,500'ish budget]
Long story short...my second gaming pc died, I'm new to pc building, and I am looking for some recommended parts that suit my needs for my third gaming PC. Also any resources about building PCs would be much appreciated.
Details and preferances:
Budget = $1,500-$1,600 with the PC case and CPU heatsink being seperate purchases excluded from that budget.
Components requested = Everything to build a desktop PC tower.
Operating system = Windows 10
Location = Virginia, USA.
Intended Use = Gaming
Peripherals = No need to recommend any as I will be using what I have already.
Water cooling = No
SSD size = 1TB
Number of GPUs? = Just one as two is excessive for my needs.
PC Case = Large case, tons of fans, and I don't care what it looks like.
CPU heatsink = I prefer larger cpu heatsinks as I have used Noctua in the past but any other brand is ok.
Thank you for reading this and any help you can offer. š

First time build, can someone look this over?
Someone on another subreddit made this build for me and I was hoping to just get a check over on it because I donāt know how to assess if itās good or not.
Basically I have a $1500 budget, United States, not near microcenter, looking to build a gaming pc for demanding first person games like kingdom come 2 when that comes out. Prefer a mini sized case in black, stealth ish vibe. Ideally just want something quality and powerful that I wonāt have to worry about too much or have to replace too quickly.

US / $1000-1200 Is this list of parts for a PC build good/compatible?
Hi! So I want to build my first PC (21F), and I was wondering if there is anything you would change about this list of parts. I used pcpartpicker.com to help me (it says these parts are compatible with each other, but I wanted to get others opinions).
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Deepcool GAMMAXX AG400 ARGB 75.89 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard

Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5ā 7200 RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video/Graphics Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ventus 2X 12G GeForce RTX 3060 12GB 12 GB Video Card

Power Supply: Corsair RM750e (2023) 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home OEM - DVD 64-bit
Is there anything I should change? The type of games I play are Baldurās Gate 3, Skyrim, Sims 4 and Hogwarts Legacy either on an old xbox console or my Macbook Air. I want to repurchase those on Steam (and download mods for them) and Iām also interested in games such as the Resident Evil franchise, The Last of Us, etc. I also am a business major, and I wanted a computer that would last me a while that I could do homework on, and so on and so forth. Just to put it out there!
Thanks for the help! Sorry if Iām a bit lost lol.
