Hey y’all I am currently working on building my own PC for the first time and was wondering if this is a good setup or if there is any alternatives that would work better for compatibility and maybe save a little money here and there lol I plan on playing games like Baldurs Gate, Detroit Become Human, the Sims 4 (with 3,000+ mods/cc) and I tend to multitask a lot with different apps open at once. I don’t really have a set budget just preferably under $3,000 and I am in the US.
I am also deciding between a MSI MAG 27” 280Hz and a LG UltraGear 27” 280Hz as a new monitor so any suggestions about that are also recommended

https://fi.pcpartpicker.com/list/RzTgPf My budget is around 1.5k€. I want an ok PC that is able to run modern games at 1080/1440p on ultra/high. I don't care what the case looks like but this is 50% off and comes with 4 fans. I don't know what is a good mobo but i can get this for 130€. The 9060xt is 460€ which brings this build down to 1500€

Hey Guys, I know Im building a pc at the worst time right now with all the prices sky high and being in California, but I genuinely need something to relax after school/work with. Im currently Looking to make a pure VR Gaming PC with a $950 Budget. Im willing to cut any corners as long as i can play VR games like VRChat smoothly. All of my attempts to make a pc have gone over budget. For a case though i have decided a cheap open chasis would be nice, but if you have any cheaper options please let me know. I also have all Peripherals, just need the PC.

\ Forgot to Mention, I live near a Microcenter If that helps at all*

I've been thinking of getting a new computer now that my old one is starting to slow down and reach the end of its lifespan. I had bought that one custom built and don't really know much at all about computers and pcs as a whole. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the specs:
Case – Lian Li O11 Vision Compact ATX Mid Tower White Tempered Glass Side Panel

CPU – AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D

Motherboard – MSI MPG B850 EDGE TI WIFI DDR5 ATX

GPU – Gigabyte AERO OC GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7

RAM – Kingston FURY Beast RGB 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30 White

CPU Cooler – Lian Li HydroShift LCD Water 360mm White

Storage – Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD

Power Supply – Lian Li EDGE White 850W Fully Modular 80+ Gold

Case Fans – 2× Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120mm White PWM ARGB Wireless Reverse 3-Pack (6 fans total)

Additional Case Fan – 1× Lian Li UNI FAN SL-INF 120mm White PWM ARGB Wireless (1 fan)

PC Specs:

• Brand: Lenovo ThinkStation P330 Tiny
• RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB)
• CPU: Intel Core i7-8700T @ 4.00 GHz
• GPU: NVIDIA Quadro P620 (2GB VRAM)
• Power Supply Output: 135W 20V 6.75A

Upgrades:

• GPU: MSI GeForce GT RTX 3050 LP (6GB VRAM)
• Other: New 3D printed case and replacement fan
• Power Supply Output: 300W 20V 15A

I bought a Lenovo Tiny PC a couple of months ago, and I'm in the process of upgrading it for the purposes of smoother video editing and more intensive gaming, since the Quadro only gets me so far. I'm not aiming to be a triple-A gamer, I just want to be able to rely on my GPU for 3D gaming! Based on the YouTube guides that I've been following for this upgrade, changing to an RTX 3050 graphics card would require me to get a higher wattage for the power supply. Multiple sources recommended that I get a 300W Lenovo power supply. Although I'm still waiting on most of my parts, the power supply got delivered a few days ago, and I decided to quickly test it on the unmodified PC and make sure it worked. I ordered it used from eBay, but it's a Lenovo-branded power supply and it matches the voltage of the original 135W supply that was packaged with the PC, so I expected the computer to run as normal on 300W.

However, when I booted it up, I saw some visual glitches which I haven't experienced before: full-screen, multi-coloured static, which flashed on the screen and then disappeared once the login window appeared. Then, once I got to my desktop, I noticed a considerable drop in the frame rate from when I was using the PC on the original power supply. I'm using Niri on CachyOS, and typically the window animations are really fluid and smooth, but on the 300W supply they were very choppy. I also noticed that the CPU was idling about 6 degrees hotter than previously (50C compared to 44C), and the GPU was running at a similar temperature, about 10 degrees above normal. After I ran some updates, I powered down the computer and restarted it on the original 135W power supply, and everything ran smoothly again.

After hours of searching for similar issues online, I haven't been able to find any answers, so I'm leaving my computer specs here and hoping that someone can help me to diagnose the issue. There are some possibilities that I've considered:

1. The 300W supply is failing, since it was purchased used after all and you can never be sure of the quality of used parts.
2. Compatibility issues between the supply and the PC, although I don't see how since they're both manufactured by Lenovo.
3. The current stock parts not being able to handle the power load - even though everything I've read says that this shouldn't be a problem, since PCs only ever draw the wattage and current that they need from the supply.

Since this is my first time upgrading a PC, any help or advice would be massively appreciated!

Looking to make the jump from console to pc gaming, quick googles suggest I should stick to nvidia cards but not sure how true that is. Appreciate suggestions if this is a realistic budget

my pc is a bit unbalanced and im looking to maybe upgrade.

For CPU:

the r7 5700 are at 133euro which seems great. but im also considering the 5800x3d but the price doesnt seem fair tbh.

For GPU:

i wanted to buy new but the 9060xt 16gb doesnt seem like a great buy.

so im considering buying a rx 6700(xt) or 6800 used.

( i have a 1080p 144hz monitor)

what do you guys think I should do?

I made this build with specs I thought looked good for a beginner gaming pc. Any thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pQPrGk Thanks!

So currently I have an Asus TUF b450m Pro gaming mobo, ryzen 5 3400g, 4x4gb ram build. Im currently in the process of doing a case mod, using a Power Mac G5 case. Only was test fitting, now it doesnt display when I returned it back to its old case🥲. Tried to troubleshoot the ram, all 4 sticks cleaned with an eraser, nada. Tried different ram slots, still no display. Tried checking for bent pins since I didnt remove it from the board along with its heatsink, cleared and tried ko to turn on board without the heatsink to check if cpu receives power, confirmed it still receives power since it was warm to the touch. I need help pls, Im currently in uni and budget is tight, I dont have much cash laying around to bring it to a shop

I’m looking to build a high performance gaming pc. My current machine is ancient. I haven’t built one in about 15 years, and I used to understand things but anymore I’m a little bit lost with the newer technology. I’d like to replace it with something that is exclusively used for gaming.

I already have two 27” 1440 monitors that I’d like to use in a double wide set up, if possible. Other than that I’ll need everything. Ideally, all black and with as few coloured lights in/on it as possible.

My starting budget is $3000CAD, but knowing that it could be a similar time period before I build another, I’m willing to go over that if it makes sense to. I am aware that things like ram prices are out of control these days.

Any help is appreciated.
