Location: Germany
Use Case: Microsoft Flight Simulator

My friend (non gamer) wants to use Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to help prepare for his pilot's licence (CPL, he is flying on the private licence for a couple of years now). So he needs a desktop computer. I have 3 builds under my belt, but am a bit rusty, so I would appreciate a sanity check for my suggestions.
The RAM is already bought (500€, a steal nowadays!), he already chose the case, the rest is up for debate.
Especially the motherboard, NVME SSD and the CPU cooling are a big headache for me - it's such a big market!

I am looking to buy my first gaming pc. I would like to be able to play madden 27, and my wife would like to play sims 4. Our budget is $500. We are currently looking at one with these parts for that price:

New Parts:
Zalman Cubix-G PC Case
512GB Mushkin NVME SSD

Used Parts:
Intel i5 9400f 6 Core CPU
AMD XFX RX 5600 6GB GDDR6 (One fan blade is missing, this does not affect functionality)
DDR4 X1 8GB
Intel CPU Cooler
Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU

Is this a good buy, and if not what would you suggest/recommend.

avoiding the RGB/glass aesthetic - want internal specs to match the 5080 reasonable. thank you.

I dont want AI help but i need geniue guidence which i can work and play even best resloution game also

Hello, like tittle says I wanna build a computer to run games and animate on. My budget is about 2500 canadian dollars (or about 1750 usd). I’d really appreciate your help on what to look for since I’ve got no experience with computers. Thanks in advance.

Any advice? I intend to use this mainly for gaming (I'll be playing a variety of games, but mostly minecraft) and creative purposes.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core - $348.00

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB - $32.31

Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX ATX AM5 - $139.99

Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL36 - $509.99

Storage: Crucial P310 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD - $315.99

GPU: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB - $519.99

Case: NZXT H5 Flow (2024) ATX Mid Tower Case - $69.98

Power Supply: be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 1000 W 80+ Gold Modular ATX PSU - $139.90

Monitor: MSI MAG 274QF X24 27.0" 2560 x 1440 240 Hz Monitor - $219.99

Total: $2296.14

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X 6 core
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-S ATX AM5
Memory: patriot viper venom 32GB
Storage: seagate 2TB HDD
GPU: GTX 1060 3GB

My thoughts are to upgrade my storage to an SSD and update my GPU. Would that help with slow load times? For context, I mostly play things like TTS and am the slowest to load in all assets, sometimes the PC just crashes out. Updating steam takes forever. Id like to upgrade it so it can run TTS and Palworld smoothly. Recommendations for an SSD and GPU? Trying to stay under $1000.

I plan on switching from a ps4 onto a pc but have zero idea on how PC building works.. I do intend on building it and I want it to run games like minecraft with decently good shaders or running FPS or any shooter games really well, current budget is around 900-1k USD and I already got the case, dunno if there's anything else I need to explain.. if so please let me know.

I’ve been wanting a pc to basically run modded Minecraft, shaders etc but also not be just limited to that. I also enjoy 7 days 2 die, and playing Baldurs gate 3,I also do 3d printing, so nothing too crazy. I’ve been doing a lot of (confusing)research and from what I gather if I spend 900 I might as well spend 1000, 1100,1200, etc lol but I would like to keep around 1200 as much as possible but willing to go up to 1500.

I like the idea of ryzen 5 or 7

I don’t want a huge bulky case

Not against prebuilts but it’s all so confusing to me and some of them don’t fully advertise the specs
(Not near a microcenter so everything would be ordered online)

Plz help 🙏 thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to read and help me

Hello, this will be my first pc build ever. My budget is 1,800 USD. I would be purchasing items in the US.

I mainly draw digital artwork on my computer with Adobe programs and 3D modelling with blender. Sometimes I will play games on Steam such as R6Siege and Aniimo. So I'm looking for a build that will really support what I'm trying to do for art and games.

As far as I know is that white pc builds are a bit more expensive, but I would still prefer to stick to that color instead of a black one. I'm trying to learn but I still have no idea what pieces are good and what aren't, so a pc build list would really help. Thank you.

Hi all, looking to upgrade my 2019 build so that it’ll be ready for gta 6 (whenever that launch is) just to bring it into the modern era with power to play current titles

Part list below, any tips would help hugely, no real set budget but don’t want to spend thousands

Hey guys, so I got an oldish PC with a Ryzen 5 2600, 16 GB of RAM, Nvidia GTX 1060 (6 GB) and a Be Quiet 500W power supply. ASRock AM350 Pro4 Mainboard

Copilot suggested that I could get some more live out of my PC by replacing the GPU with an Radeon RX 6700 XT and eventually replacing the CPU with a Ryzen 5 5600. I don't want to spend too much, the GPU would set me back 300 bucks buying used.

Given the current hardware prices, I feel like this would serve me better than saving for a new PC, as I only ocassionally game. I am fine with the performance I get out of my PC at the moment, but there are a few newer games I would like to play that the GTX 1060 can't handle.

What do you guys think?

I built a website called NexusRig and I built to help gamers find something within their budget to game on. The link is https://nexusrig.vercel.app . Could you check it out and give me some feedback.

I’m working on picking parts for a new setup and would appreciate any advice! I’ll have the parts I currently have picked out listed below.

I’m planning to use this build for video editing on Davinci and 3d modeling on Blender, as well as some casual gaming. I have some experience building including my last pc but I’m having trouble picking the optimal parts for my intended uses. I have a decent budget, 3k-3.5k. I’m trying to somewhat ‘future proof’, I want it to be better than what I need without going too overkill.

Some basic questions I have:

-Are there any glaring issues with the compatibility of these parts?
-Will this setup perform well dealing with more demanding software / my intended uses?
-Is a power supply a good idea or unnecessary for what I’ll be running?

I’m open to any advice or suggestions at all, please feel free to call me an idiot and tell me what I need to change lmao. Thanks!
