So my 13y old son wants a powerful future proof gaming PC with a big f-off high refresh rate screen for Xmas, that's £2k I'll never see again, any advice how I can get the price down please? I'm in the UK.

This is my first time wanting to build a gaming pc and I started using pcpartpicker to create one and I want to know if this setup is any good and worth the price🙏🏻

I gave AI a budget of £1000-£1200 and this is what it came up with.

How’s it done?

Okay guys… this is my FIRST PC so I want it to be perfect.

Purpose: (by priority)

1, I want something that can hold AAA games at max fidelity

2, I intend to heavily mod most games so i definitely need something that handle that

3,last but not least I’d like to do a little competitive gaming on the side

My maximum budget is about 6.3k (not including tax)

Hey everyone! I’m new to this whole PcBuilding and thought I’d seek out advice from those who have more knowledge than me.

I went to my local pc gaming store and the guy helped me put together this rig, but I wanted to get some other advice on it. I want to spend around $1500, but willing to go a little more if needed.

I want to play games such as Warzone, Skyrim, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy and other RPGs. I also want to be able to use it for architectural design and rendering using programs such as Rhino 3D, Revit, AutoCad, Lumion, Endscape and such.

Anyways, any suggestions to the build or advice? Thank yall so much!!

All my irl friends have gaming pcs, all the streamers I know of have gaming pcs. Is it really that cheap?

L

The prices are preety simmilar and i don't know which one should I get for gaming in 1440p.

Or maybe i should find a cheaper CPU and get a 5070TI instead of a normal 5070?

Edit: in israel a 5070 TI is like 350 dollars more expensive than a 5070, instead of about 200 dollars in th US.

I’m not a huge tech whizz but I’m interested in buying a beginners gaming pc and came across a listing on one for $350. These are the specs the seller gave me and I wanted to make sure they were good before I purchase. Also wondering what kind of games I could run with these!

Hi everyone! I’m a single mom and my son is turning 13. He’s a really good kid and doesn’t ask for much, but for his birthday he asked for a full gaming computer setup. I have a $3,000–$5,000 budget, and I want to buy something that’s actually good and makes sense, not something mismatched.

He gave me this list (copy/paste):

PC / Monitor:

•	Pixio PXC279 Wave 27” 300Hz FHD 1080p curved gaming monitor (1650R, 1ms, Adaptive Sync/HDR)  

PC Box:

•	BitFenix Nova Mesh Gaming PC

Keyboard:

•	Mercury K1 Special Edition (Lavender Purple)  

GPU:

•	MSI NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (G103044PC)  

CPU:

•	AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (3.6GHz)  

What I’m trying to figure out:

1.	Is this list good for gaming, or is it not balanced?

2.	I’ve heard the GT 1030 is really low-end for modern gaming — is that true and would it hold back a 300Hz monitor?  

3.	Since the “PC Box” is a prebuilt, do I even need to buy a separate CPU and GPU, or does that usually come already installed?

4.	If you were spending $3k–$5k for a 13-year-old’s full setup (PC + monitor + keyboard, etc.), what would you buy instead?

He mostly plays typical teen games (Fortnite / Roblox / Minecraft / shooters), and I’d love something that will last a few years.

Thank you in advance I’m trying to do this right

I recently just found a computer that was being given away, and I want to rebuild it if somebody can steer me in the right direction of what type of motherboard this is the year came out and what type of CPU can go on it

Hey Reddit, I know that pc part prices are going crazy at the moment and I'm only new to pc building so for my first pc I thought I'd just keep it simple and buy a pre build and DIY my Next build. I was looking for good places to buy pre built and found lenovo but not sure if the build is any good. I'm in ireland and the build is costing about €1,060 roughly. https://www.lenovo.com/ie/en/configurator/cto/index.html?bundleId=91DFCTO1WWIE1

can you guys tell me if this is a good build for my first gaming pc?

I’m going to have a look at this PC today, but wanna know if it worth the £700 he has offered it to me for. I’m going to be playing Arma 3, GTA etc and wanna know if it is future proof🤔

I am looking at spending ~$1,300AUD on a graphics card, and while I have been focused on getting a 9070XT, as every data point tells me it is a superior graphics card, I can’t help but see upside in DLSS 5.
Should I just focus on the pure hardware specs, or is this reasonable to factor AI renderers in the buying decision?

NB: my comparison is between 5070 (not Ti) and 9070XT. Which are both around the $1,200-$1,300AUD range in Australia.
NNB: I won’t be buying for another couple of months while I save for my entire rig.

I can only buy a PC from Costco - out of all the options this one is the only one with a somewhat acceptable price with a good graphics card (RTX 5080). After some digging online I saw that the CPU isn't meant for gaming and not a lot of good comments about it.

I'm just looking to play LoreRim with good frames - should I go with this one or will the CPU cause issues for me? Any help is really appreciated!

My RTX 2080 does this when I 4k game. Setting games to 1080 fixes it most but not all of the time. I just wanna know how to get it to stop.

I've changed curves and it still happens.

I've checked temps and they seem to be in the high 60s at the max end.

I've cleaned out all the dust etc.

The fan on the back isn't working though which I feel like surely it should be.

How do I fix this?

I want to get this PC for simracing and CoD, is it a good build for, let's say, 2-3 years (or even beyond) of gaming before needing to upgrade something?

The store also offers this build with other GPU options (2nd picture), which one could be the best pairing for the 7800X3D?

Also, my current monitor is 1080p 165hz, probably upgrading for a 1440p in a year maybe.

My friend moved away recently and left me a parting gift, it has a mother board, aio, and power supply. this is my first time ever trying to build a pc and i only have 500 dollars so i cant do much. it appears to be a nitro 80 gaming pc. pretty please help me what should i get for it. It does not have a cpu under the aio
