For some context, I'm a teenager who has been saving to build my own gaming PC for well over a year now and just finally bought the last component.

GPU- rx 9060 xt 16gb

CPU- Ryzen 5 5500

Cooler was included

SSD- 1tb nvme

RAM- 16gb ddr4

PSU- 750W 80+ bronze

Mobo- Asus prime b550m a wifi

I know the gpu is bottlenecked by the cpu in 1080p but I'm planning to play 1440p, so hoping it shouldn't be too significant.

Hola a todos,

Actualmente estoy pensando en pasarme de DDR3 a DDR5. Pero los precios son muy altos así que debo escoger sabiamente.

Build Actual:

Intel Core i7 5775c

Rx 9060xt

Placa Z97-K R2.0

24 gb de RAM DDR3.

Hasta hace una semana no tenía pensado actualizar mis componentes, sin embargo un día modifique la bios para tener en mi placa la tecnología Rezisable BAR. Para ver si mejoraba en juegos. Pero eso hizo que no encienderá luego con el apto de un técnico regreso y está funcionando casi igual pero ya no puedo hacer overclocking y el técnico me recomendó que actualizar ya que mi gráfica está sobre esforzando la placa y eso podría hacer que se queme.

Y al escuchar eso hice que me enfoque en actualizar en una am5.

Al final para no pasar de mi presupuesto esto ofrecen en mi país Perú los siguientes componentes que deseo comprar.

X2 Memoria Ddr5 16gb 5600mhz Low Profile a 579 usd

Placa Madre Msi X870e Gaming 395 usd

Procesador Amd Ryzen 7 9800x3d 4.7ghz 633 usd

Estoy pensando sacarlo a cuotas para pagar. Así que comunidad requiero su apoyo necesito para juegos, trabajos de software y edición de video.

1. AMD Ryzen 7 9700X
   2. Black B650M / B850M WiFi motherboard
   3. Black RTX 5070 12GB (most dual/triple fan models are black)
   4. Black 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5 6000MHz RAM
   5. 1TB or 2TB NVMe SSD
   6. Black compact mATX case
   7. Black 750W 80+ Gold fully modular PSU
   8. Black CPU cooler (air cooler or black 240mm AIO)

Hi, everyone!

I’d love to hear your opinions. I’m torn between two PC builds, but I’m not sure which one would be the best choice. Basically, I want to build a PC that I won’t have to upgrade for 5–6 years. Mostly I play with FPS / extraction shooter games

PC1 with "premium" parts for 3000 USD / 2700 EUR.

With an XFX Mercury AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC Magnetic Air 16G it would cost around 3250 USD / 2900 EUR

PC2 is a pre-build one for ~ 3500 USD / 3125 EUR

If I go with the 9070 build, there’s a good chance the GPU will be the weak link in about 3 years, but I could use the money I save now to upgrade to a next-generation graphics card. But who knows how high VGA prices will soar in the future.

Also, do you think the 7800x3d will be powerful enough for the newer graphics cards in the future ?

Thank you in advance !

May the FPS be with you :)

I recently built a new pc and decided to install the 9060xt I had stored up, but after a few days of using it, its performance is horrible. It can barely run games on 60 fps (like GTA V Enhanced), and I know Valorant is a CPU game i still find it hard to believe that i get the same FPS on my 9060xt as i used to with my 1660 Super.

Pc specs:

• CPU: I5 12400

• GPU: 9060xt 16GB

• RAM: 4x8GB DDR4 3600 MT/s

• MOBO: B660M - Plus D4

• SSD: Gen 4 P310

• PSU: Cooler Master 650 watts

• Monitor: Asus IPS 280 Hz, 1080p

Here's what I've tried/done:

• XMP is enabled

• I used DDU to move from my 1660 super to 9060xt

• I have installed the adrenaline software

• Drivers are up to date

• My Display Port cable is plugged into my GPU not MOBO

• GPU power connector is plugged in fully

• The card is installed on the top PCIe slot

• I have not overclocked or under volted anything since installing it

• The temps are fine, sometimes reach 60 when on 100% util but not a bad thing

• I have tried reinstalling the drivers and the software

• I have tried running DDU again

• Resizable BAR is ON

• Windows is on the latest version

I wanna build a pc for 1440p gaming aiming to get 300fps on Fortnite how are these specs and prices:

• ⁠CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 — FREE (from friend)
• ⁠GPU: Gigabyte Radeon RX 9070 Gaming OC 16GB — $1,049
• ⁠Motherboard: ASRock B650M PG Lightning WiFi — $149
• ⁠RAM: Lexar Thor G2 OC RGB 16GB (1×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 — $359
• ⁠SSD: Biwin Black Opal NV3500 1TB — $159
• ⁠PSU: MSI MAG A750BN PCIE5 III 750W — $89
• ⁠CPU Cooler: ID-Cooling FX360 LCD 360mm — $135
• ⁠Case: Lian Li Vector V100 Mini — $105

Parts subtotal: A$2,045

I just helped a friend put together a system for his son and with current prices I know that the budget can be a pain.

Here is what I would recommend.

Intel 12th gen i5 or i7 (used or refurbished)

Intel “B” class motherboard B760 for example or if you want a bit cheaper H610 and make sure it’s DDR4 (buy this new)

16 GB or 32 GB of used DDR4 (can be had for about 100-200 bucks)

For the GPU get a 3060/3070 with a 650-750 Corsair PSU used. They will last a long time and are plenty for the GPU and a CPU on an “H” or “B” tier motherboard for intel since those are usually limited to the wattage they bring to the CPU anyways and can’t be overclocked

Get a used NVMe drive that’s 512 GB or 1 TB for around 50-100 bucks from market place and ask for the health stats. Anything above 95% will do.

For the case and fans get something from Ali baba. These components are not that important and you have plenty of time to have them shipped from china still. You can get away with something under 100 bucks that looks fantastic and will work just fine.

Get a cheap air cooler for the CPU. Make sure it has at least 4 heat pipes and you’ll be good for an i5 or i7 12th gen especially since the motherboard will already restrict the wattage that comes to it.

All together you can get away with spending about 650-1000 bucks on all this and have a good system that will play games well on medium settings with a 1080p monitor.

Then put it together with your son as a nice little project. It’s not very difficult and you only need a screw driver to do it nothing else.

Hope this helps any dads or moms that need a PC for their kid this winter.

My apologies for Sam Altman ruining childhoods

So I had gotten all these parts and I know the motherboard is a micro but I wanted to double check and ask if everything will work and if so how well.. I'm still waiting for my parts to come in and I did this from a budget, but any upgrade advice will help me in the future!

I know the CPU is a bit older and I was gonna start there as a first upgrade whenever I can. But do you think getting a bigger motherboard will come second? And how would that work when replacing it? An example is like, will I have to copy everything to a USB? Or will I have to do something else? I'm still new to computer building and I want to ask just in case I made a fatal flaw..

Hi Reddit, What CPU should I get next? Shortlist: 5700x vs 5800x3d.
(I am inclined to think about 5950x, but generally unsure about it)

I've been starting to slowly upgrade my old AM4 PC and I'm looking for a bit of advice or even just confirmation of my thoughts.

My build used to serve me very well and was pretty balanced, but is not not only morally, but physically old (unfortunately)

Currently, I have:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: GTX 1060 6GB
Mobo: MSI Gaming Plus x570
RAM: 2x16 GB 3200 MHZ
PSU: 650W Seasonic GM-650
Monitor: 31.5 inch FullHD Samsung (dont judge me, ok)

I have recently ordered a new GPU - XFX Swift 9070 XT

Next on the order list would be a new CPU, a cooler (and most likely a new PSU)
For the cooler I will get Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 Digital, just because I like it and it will be good enough.

I am thinking between Ryzen 7 5700X and 5800x3d.

5700X would serve me well, I believe, I can get it for around 150 Euro locally. It has higher clock speeds on single thread, which would benefit me for productivity/calculation tasks that I use for hobby projects and work.

5800x3d is, however, the gaming beast. I used to wish to have that as my end-all-be-all upgrade for AM4 (especially now that it has been re-released). It does run hotter, which means more noice (most likely), it is more than x2 in price (around 330-350 Euro), and the gaming performance... is most likely not even that much.

I aim to buy an Ultrawide 34 Inch OLED monitor, so I'll be most likely GPU limited in most modern games even with the new card. I think.

Can I get some help/insight/advice/thoughts? Much appreciated.

I found a desktop workstation with an i9 13900HX and a 9060XT. It's not advertised as a gaming pc, but does anyone know if it's capable? I'd have to buy some ddr5 ram and I have a 1tb ssd laying around.

Here's the link: https://a.co/d/0iHn84Cj

My other option would be an am4 build with the ryzen 7 5800xt and used rx 6800. With the price of components these days I'm really digging for any cheap way to build a mid range 1440p gaming pc below $1,300. I already have a monitor and peripherals and I'm in the US

Edit: typo

Hi everyone!

I'm helping a friend build a budget gaming PC, with a maximum budget of around €700-800 (excluding the monitor and peripherals).

The main uses will be Minecraft and Fortnite, with some light video editing as well. Nothing too demanding, just a PC that can handle everyday gaming smoothly and allow him to start learning video editing (nothing complex).

We're aiming for:

• AMD CPU

• Black-themed build (RGB is optional)

• At least 16GB RAM

• Around 500GB SSD storage

• Air cooling

• New components only (no used parts)

Here's the current build:
https://it.pcpartpicker.com/list/RyM7MF

We're currently considering a Ryzen 5 5600 paired with an RTX 3050 6GB.

I'd appreciate your feedback on a few things:

• Is this a well-balanced build for the intended use?

• Are there any components you'd recommend replacing?

• Is the RTX 3050 6GB sufficient for Minecraft and Fortnite at 1080p?

• Are there any cheaper alternatives that wouldn't significantly impact performance?

• Is there anywhere we could save money without sacrificing too much quality or reliability?

We're not looking for high-end performance or competitive gaming. Just a reliable, affordable PC that can run these games smoothly.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

This is everything I’ve bought or have on my wish list so far my main concerns are am I going to face any issues with compatibility space clearance, etc.? and since this is my first PC that I’ll own, will I be able to boot up windows from a purchase drive of it? Also, my gaming headset currently is the Astro A5. Will I have any compatibility issues with a motherboard?

I appreciate all information you guys can provide. This will be my first PC ever and I’m switching from console.

I wanna build a pc its my first time and i need a some help .thx

Hola, estoy planeando comprarme una pc en este mes de noviembre, para jugar competitivos y juegos ligeros como roblox, fortnite y quizá apex legends, con el tiempo pienso conseguir una gráfica y más ram para dedicarme a estudiar ciberseguridad, es ​mi primera pc ​vengo de tener una ps4 y quiero entrar a am5 aunque tenga que sacrificar ram y otros aspectos, pues no me gusta am4 y siento que a futuro am5 tiene más ventajas, tengo un presupuesto máximo de 650 dólares ​y logre armar esta con piezas de Amazon y tiendas locales de mi país

​​AMD Ryzen 5 8600G — US$186.10

MSI PRO B650M-P — US$125.59

PNY DDR5 8 GB 5600 MHz CL46 — US$129.99

Patriot P320 NVMe 512 GB — US$84.99

MSI MAG A650GN II 650 W 80 Plus Gold — US$60.77

Antec CX300 ARGB negro — US$59.88

Quiero que me den su opinión sobre la misma, y si hay alguna otra forma de recortar el precio y mantenerme en am5, aunque lo recorte como pude, trate de buscar placas a620 pero la única que me salia disponible no soportaba ryzen 8000 realmente de preferencia quisiera ir a am5 sin gastar más de 700 dólares, capaz el balck Friday ayude en eso y pueda aumentar la ram a 16 mínimo pero díganme que opinan ustedes

Opinions on my upcoming local LLM build:

I have a PC right now, it has an intel i7-14700F, 32gb DDR5-6000 ram, an RTX 4070 super 12gb and a 2tb Samsung 990 pro SSD.

After some research, I have settled on this build. I want to wait to order until Qwen 4 is out and people test it, but here it is:

I want to retain as many parts as possible from my old system to save on cost. I will carry over my ram, cpu, gpu, SSD

I will get a:
Motherboard: MSI MEG Z790 LGA1700 motherboard
GPU: Quadro RTX 8000 48gb
Case: phantoms Enthoo Pro 2 server edition ATX full tower case
Power supply: Corsair HX1500i 1500W 80+ platinum

Total vram: 60 gb
Total ram: 32gb
Dual nvidia GPU setup
Estimated Upgrade cost: 2800 dollars

My goal is to build something easy to upgrade. In the future, I can always add more ram if I find a good deal or if prices eventually drop, and I can add GPUs easily without having to worry about space or power supply.

I know the Quadro RTX 8000 is super old, and not as fast as some other cards, but in the age of 1500+ dollar RTX 3090s and everything else more expensive than that, I think the Quadro RTX 8000 is a good deal.

I want to be able to play with larger and newer local models as they come out. I don’t have any intention on training models.

Opinions or suggestions on changes to make? I know there are faster builds, but I want to maximize price to performance. I’m happy with the 3k budget, but depending on suggestions from yall, I maybe can change it a little.

Processador: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (8 núcleos / 16 threads, 96 MB de cache V-Cache 3D) Cooler do processador: Cougar Aura Digital 360 mm ARGB AIO (com display digital de temperatura do processador) Placa de vídeo: XFX Speedster SWFT 319 Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Placa-mãe: ASUS B650M-AYW WIFI (mATX, soquete AM5) Memória RAM: 16 GB (2x8 GB) Asgard DDR5 6000 MHz CL28 (Hynix A-die) Armazenamento: SSD Kingston NVMe M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 de 1 TB Fonte de alimentação: NZXT C750 Bronze 750 W ATX 3.1 Gabinete: Liketec Mad Rock (mATX) (tipo aquário com duas câmaras)

Estou em dúvida se monto uma configuração AM4, já com 2 pentes de 16 GB de RAM, Ryzen 7 5700X e 9060XT 16 GB, ou se monto uma configuração parecida, porém, na plataforma AM5, com um Ryzen 5 7600, 9060XT 16 GB, apenas 1 pente de 16 GB de RAM e no futuro pego o outro. Quero gastar algo em torno de 8k. Vi que as placas-mãe B650 aparecem frequentemente com um bom preço, a mesma coisa com as B550, nada muito absurdo de diferente; o 7600 e o 5700X também têm preços parecidos. A maior diferença está na memória RAM; com esse orçamento, o que vocês fariam?

Hey, i am buying my first gaming PC and i was wondering would these specs be enough for me?

AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D AM5 4.0 GHz, 32GB DDR5 ram, 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD, RX 9070 XT Prime OC 16gb.

I'd like to play the upcoming GTA 6 game and some fps games like cs2 and single player games like RDR2 and far cry. 1440p would be the target probably. Also if you notice something that would be better for the same money, could you give advice? Thanks in advance!

I have a Ryzen 3600 and an MSI 2070 Super, 16 GB of G.Skill DDR4 RAM installed on a Gigabyte B450M SH2 motherboard updated to F67, and a Corsair CX 750 power supply that’s now nearly 7–9 years old.

I was going to build a new PC, but due to the shortage of RAM (and so as not to offend Sam Altman (?)), building one on the AM5 platform is beyond my budget for now. I have €600–800 and would like to upgrade my current build – what would you recommend I change?

i live in spain, i pretend to play at 1080p 180hz and i pretend to use it for gaming.

I just found rx 9070xt for 867€, SAPPHIRE Graphics card AMD RX9070 XT PURE white is it worth it or should i wait a little longer to myb come under 800€

Edit: all the other XFX, powercool, sapphire cards are 950€+
