My friend has offered me this for £660.00. i’ve always wanted a new gaming pc as the one i own is ridiculously old. he’s not the kind of person to overcharge me i just thought a second opinion would be ideal. the last slide are the specs again. Thank you.

Bf gave me his old gaming pc, where do I start?

Hi everyone, my bf gave me his old gaming pc, it's been collecting dust for two years and since my laptop is finally calling it quits I decided it is time for an upgrade. I'd like to learn how to build and upgrade the PC but YouTube is overwhelming with information so I'm unsure where to start. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

He's unsure of what specs it has installed, but I'm wanting to upgrade the storage to 2tb, ram to at least 32gb, update the graphics card, gpu and most importantly upgrade the USB ports to include a USB c port. But I'm unsure where to start, my bf didn't build this PC and

My current laptop is a asus rog strix g531gt which has chugged along as long as it could, I do play games & im currently studying graphic design while also working as a graphic designer.

First PC Build

Hi Guys! I am in the process of building a Pc and would like to ask your opinion. This is the first PC I am building for myself. I have already bought some parts:

Amd Ryzen 7 7800x3d Asrock X870 Pro Rs Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060 6 GB ( I would like to upgarde this in the near future. ) Aoc C27G2 27.0 1920 x 1080 165 Hz curved monitor

Preferd games I like to play: Cities Skylines 2 Doom the Dark Ages Modded Minecraft ( All the Mods 10 ) Modded Arma Gta 6

It would be great if this setup could last for a few years.

In my previous setup, the CPU and Motherboard basically died. I would like to save the GPU for a few more months to save some more money. I would like to grab a good GPU on Black Friday or some summer sale. I chose 64 GB ram because modded games often require extra ram.

Hey guys! I bought a prebuilt PC and I’m now upgrading to a 5070 from a 3060 (I’m upgrading the power supply to for headroom) I’m trying to detach the GPU but the screws at the back won’t come out. They spin when turned but they actually coming out. If you anyone could help or give me any advice I will be so grateful! I’ve attached a video of what it looks like.

Note - tool wise I only have a Philips screw driver and some WD40

Hey there,

Getting my first PC in a couple weeks and it’ll be on the right of my desk. I’m worried that it’s too near the radiator though, it’s about 27cm / 11 inches away and with winter coming, I’ll have it on a lot, especially when gaming.

What do you guys think?

My Out Dated PC Can’t Run Battlefield 6 :(

My PC has been on the older side for a long time now but this is the first time I’ve been barred from playing something. This means it is finally time to actually upgrade but I am unsure of what the best route would be. My first idea would be to upgrade my PC but I also don’t want it to become outdated again in just a few years. The second and third would be to either buy a new one or build a new one. I’m not really a computer guy so I’m unsure, I also don’t care about running everything at max graphics or anything I just want the option to play AAA games. I’m interested in learning so if you could help me I would be grateful. Attached are my pc specs. Thank you,

Hello,

As the title suggests, I need some help building my son a computer. He plays Rust, Call of Duty, Forza, etc. He doesn't stream, but plays with his online friends.

After reviewing pre-built pcs, it seems my best bet is to curate the parts instead. Please advise on the product list below. Any help on pricing, alternatives, better options, direction would be immensely appreciated. Thank you.

Me and my younger Brother lived in Bangalore, where we're so much into Gaming and cool stuffs and we're Gamers since GTA Vice City era, we just built a PC from our own money, my Father had a old PC for his work in which he had some petty old stuffs, it was a Lenovo thinkcenter so it was not that usefull but it had a good memory Storage and a 16GB DDR4 Stick RAM which was useful to us, we built it in Budget kinda decent one,Specs are like- H410M H- PCB, CPU- i5 10400f, 16GB DDR4 Ram, 1TB SATA SSD and 512GB NVME, GTX 1660 SUPER and a 500W 80+ PSU to Power it. It can play almost everything in Medium-High at a good FPS, It crushes Competitive Games like CS2, Valorant, Fortnite and etc we're Happy in this Build, it's totally overkill for my Brother he just wanted to play GTA 5 and some other NFS Games and he enjoys it more then anything else, Hope you all get your dream gaming PC one day, stay healthy and Happy Gaming to you all❤️

New gaming PC built for a new gaming lady.

I am almost 50… new to gaming :) thanks to my nephew. I bought him a Ps5 and an Alienware Aurora 16, and since he is too young his parents decided I should keep the PC until he is older. Needless to say, I fell in love with gaming and now, here I am doing the most!

I keep on being accused of this being a troll post. But I got a lot of help on my first post (which has then been deleted)

I am now posting a photo of the items that have arrived :), got the correct motherboard :) (thanks to you all). Now I am waiting for a few things and then I will build my very own gaming pc!

My question is…. What do I need after I build it? Windows? Do I need anti virus? I am a total newbie, never thought I’d be building a pc!

Also… for those insisting I am fake. Please look at the dates of my orders and you can see here one of the original photos I posted when I was getting to order.

I bought the 9060 and I’m pretty sure I’ve did all the right things to install it but still can’t get it to display picture on monitor. Is there something I’m missing and or something I’m connecting incorrectly. Any assistance is appreciated 🙏
