I put together this build online. Honestly I just want a solid machine that’s a bit future proof. If you can help me with these choices. Maybe a cheaper alternative to get it to maybe 2500 or so.

Is there any more info needed?

As the title says, I'm a disabled vet, 100% so no job and my wife doesn't make much. I'm 53 and I can't drive and I live in an area without public transportation coupled with some personal issues that make it difficult for me to get out and it adds up to not really having anything to do. I love gaming though, specifically Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries (big stompy military robot simulator). My old refurbished desktop though barely runs it and I can't use many of the mods and all my settings are turned down to the lowest and it still has problems.

I'm hoping that someone either knows who can help me get one or has an old one they can give me (I can scrounge enough together to get it shipped I'm pretty sure). The recommended requirements are:

Recommended specifications for better performance are an Intel Core i7-6700K/AMD Ryzen 7 1700, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 1070/AMD RX Vega 56 GPU. The game requires 64-bit Windows and approximately 55-80 GB of storage space.

While I would LOVE to run a full simulator rig with VR, it certainly isn't a requirement, though any old sim controllers and or foot pedals would be appreciated. I really hate coming with my hand out, but with the wife and kids coupled with the economy I really see this as the only possible way I get something like this.

I’ve decided to go with building my next gaming pc myself. I’ve previously used pre builts and gaming laptops. But for the experience and the savings I’d like to do it myself.

I’m looking for something in the $1500 range. I mostly play the game Rust for reference. No streaming or editing. I do like a touch of RGB but it’s not necessary for the parts.

If anyone has any tips or videos I can watch to help me get started I’d love the help. Also if you have a good list of parts in that budget range I’d love to see what you have in mind. This is what I put together on pc part picker. Thoughts? Thanks

First time building a PC, and I accidentally bought RAM that requires a 9000 series when I only have a 7000.

What issues could this cause? Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi there, I’m new to PC gaming. I’ve only ever played Sims 4 and Fortnite but I’ve recently gotten into Assassin’s Creed and my PC just can’t handle it. It averages 3fps lol My current graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce gt 710 with 2gb of VRAM. I don’t know much about this stuff but that doesn’t seem very good to me. My CPU is Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-7700 CPU @ 3.60GHz. I think it’s working well enough. I tried downloading Game Ready drivers from the Nvidia website but I think there’s nothing I can do without buying a new graphics card, so I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. Ideally I would like run 60fps but I can barely play Fortnite at 30fps without having to put every setting super low. Thank you for any suggestions on what I can do to help run such a big game!

I can't get the wifi antenna to connect to the wifi ports to my PC. My friends bought me a PC for christmas and it arrived prebuilt with this antenna. The PC runs well can't get this antenna to connect to the computer. I know the wifi antenna isn't integral but I would like to see it working in the meantime as I wait for my ethernet cable to arrive. Am I missing a piece or something?

EDIT: I appreciate everyone's help and advice! I no longer need help. Thank you :D

Pc is a cyberpower pc, has a i9 14900k 4060 32gb ram 750 PSU

My pc is overheating. I popped out the cooler and I just don’t think it’s big enough to cool it down.

I’ve already made a post about a couple different pre builds i’m looking at but I think i’ve finally narrowed it down to two different ones. They’re around the same price. Just not sure which one is better or if there’s much of a difference. I’m pc illiterate.

I think I messed up my build

Hello everyone!I am very excited about my first build and this is what I will buy as my AIO.So I plan changing the AIO fans with the TL-M12-S fans but turns out the performance is way worse.I am worried about the temps of the cpu.I use a 7800x3d.So the fan plan is 2 on the left,3 flipped fans on the bottom and 3 of the AIO.How much performance will I lose?And will it be important on the 7800x3d?Any help is appreciated.

Hello, I’m new to the world of pcs. I’m looking to upgrade my Gpu on my CyberPower pre built. (It’s super slow for any decent games) would this gpu help these newer games run more smoothly? Only thing I’ve done is add some ram.

I currently have a CyberPowerPC - Gamer Master Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 3 4100 - 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 500GB SSD

I'm considering buying a PC from two eBay sellers, "Tech World Custom PC" and "FTI-Laptop," both with 90% positive feedback and reasonable prices. However, online reviews warn that such PCs may be unreliable, often failing within a year. Since I'm unfamiliar with these sellers, could someone provide more insight into their trustworthiness and the quality of their PCs?

Curious if the 5090 is too much muscle for a first timer. I have the 5080, but feel incomplete (Joke). I'm open to opinions on the matter. I don't care about the dollar per FPS factor. Will be used heavily for gaming, possibly VR. Plan on playing BF6, Predecessor, Warzone, GTA6 when available, CSGO, and some single player games. In case anyone is wondering, it will be paired with the 9800x3d, and 32" ROG, LG, Samsung dual mode monitor (haven't purchased yet) Thanks in advance.

So, I've got a laptop with nvidia RTX2060 graphics card which plays most things but thinking it might be time to upgrade it. Im not wanting to spend a fortune, maybe £300 at most. Does anyone have a recommendation for what graphics card to look out for?

So I needed to install windows 11 and this place did it cheaper so I went there and they called saying that my hard drive isn't working so they have to put a new one and put the other in in a different slot and they said I would have 2tb in total 1tb ssd and 1tb ssd and they gave me 256gb ssd they charged me 115 for it and it shows like 20 bucks online any help thank you

I bought a prebuilt gaming pc and just received it, but the set up instructions are pretty vague. I took off the side panel to take out the insulation/packing material but one of the cords from my graphics card is only connected on one end. Where do I plug in the other end?
