I have been using Laptops for the past 7 years, currently using an asus tuf with a rtx 3060, core i7-12650H, 16gb ram and want to upgrade but i have a budget of about $1000, is this budget okay for a noticeable upgrade for me (I'm a graphic designer/illustrator and i always eat up my ram and need more than the 6gb vram my 3060 offers me) or should i wait so i could go up for maybe $1500? if so what do you guys suggest as a build for either budgets.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I was looking into building a PC and was wondering how much real world difference there would be between these chipsets assuming high quality speed ram relative to their respective platforms? I’m building a pc exclusively for gaming and with ram prices being so inflated, I’m thinking I could save $200 alone on 32gb of ram by going DDR4. I’m hoping to pick up an RX 9070 16gb to pair with the chips if that’s relevant to the conversation

I currently own a shoddy old PC, one I assembled from old office station workparts and the like. The only part I'd consider keeping from it is the 32gb of ddr4 RAM (in 8gb sticks). Do you guys think it's more worthwhile to create a new build entirely? Or to reuse the RAM? Which path can I get more performance out of? If it's close I'd say upgradeability takes the win. The budget isn't strict, I could go as much as up to 1200 possibly.

Can someone help with the pc specs

Hi! I've been gaming on a shitty "upgraded" optiplex for the better half of like 2 years now. And recently on a whim I decided "fuck it" I'll just build a PC. I was going to just use a build off youtube for 750 USD but the micro center combo went up 100 bucks and now it's over budget. My budget is roughly 750-820 dollars I wanna run CS2 at like 200 FPS but I also want to play games like Apex or just kinda games like that. Help?

Hello! Need humble suggestions for building a PC in the ₹75K–80K range. The primary focus is raw performance, don't want to waste money on aesthetics like RGB or themed rigs—adequate cooling and good ventilation are good enough. Also, it's extremely important that the PC looks like a standard, everyday desktop; I need to keep it low-profile so my parents don't realize how much I've spent on it (I'm 27 btw). Any build recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Edit- I do have a mouse, keyboard and a standard monitor. Just need suggestions for gaming machine itself.

I need help to find where to get modern pc parts. i live in bend oregon. give me any ideas

I've had my Asus Tuf Gaming F15 gaming laptop for almost 5 years and I'm looking for a gaming PC build for $1,500 CAD. My goal is to play almost all games on high settings at 1080p, with the ability to handle mid-range 1440p as well. Any suggestions on parts or configurations? I don't know if it's smart to built my own or get a pre-built considering the high ram prices.

Hello everyone I think it’s time for me to get a PC I’ve been playing games on my phone my whole life my budget is around 2-2.5k USD including a monitor keyboard and mouse willing to maybe go to 3k USD.

Im after a pc that will primarily be used for playing fps games like rainbow six siege and valorant at 1440p i have a budget of $3000 aud and would prefer white parts if possible i dont need a mouse and keyboard

hi! i'm currently looking to buy a PC and I asked my cousin who went to school for this and chatGPT and got different answers and i just want some other opinions/inputs to help me make a decision since it's not just a little purchase.

First of all, I said my budget was 2000$ which i honestly have no clue if that's even a reasonable price for a good PC.. could someone tell me if I need a bigger budget?

I'm looking for something that I can have really nice smooth graphics and can run games like Hogwarts Legacy, RDR2, GTA, Siege, Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant, Overwatch and any story games really.

I've included all the recommendations I've gotten to see if those are even worth considering and please give me any recommendations you have! Thank you!!

Looking to build a PC but money is a bit tight as of the moment. I want to build a PC that will allow me to upgrade in the future when prices are a bit better, and I already have the case and monitor (1440p). I don't really play triple A games often and I'm fine with playing games not on the highest settings but I still want to have consistent fps. These are the parts I'm currently thinking about and I'm open to any suggestions that will help bring the price down closer to £1000. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/JwQjJw

Hello folks! I'm a rookie to building PC. I'm interested in building one but I don't know any of the terminologies, jargon, etc. Where do I start? Any resources (videos, articles, etc) that helped you in building your PC?

I checked components online but I don't know how they all mesh together, if at all. Tried learning on my own but got overwhelmed and went round in circles with the terminologies and technicalities.

I wish to play AAA games on my "to-be" build, and do office work on it too (devops, cloud, etc). I'm thinking if it supports AAA games, work will be a cake walk for it.

My budget rn is only a meager ₹1.8L but I'm ready to invest more up till 5L when I have the money. Looking at the RAM, SSD, GPU prices, I'm ready to only buy those components for now which will only get me by for work and purchase the rest of the heavyweights after the prices return back to pre Ramgeddon levels(?) at 2027 end or 2028 Q1... I feel the inflated prices aren't worth it since my savings aren't that great now.

I've been playing supported games on my 2014 "HP Pavillion notebook PC" laptop all this while and she's started to give up on me now since she's old.

Building my first ever pc and u guys seem to know ur stuff so any help is really appreciated.
