just got upgraded to a i7 7700k want to replace the fan aswell any recommendations? (I don’t know much about pcs)

Pc Specs: I7-870 Gtx750ti 4GB 300watt psu 16GB ddr3 H55 Mobo 256 GB Ssd + 512 GB portable ssd

Hi guys, So I recently upgraded from an gt730 to a gtx750ti 4GB ddr5 and I feel like I don’t see some major performance differences even when lowering resolution in nvidia control panel, But I feel like it’s my cpu bottlenecking I have an i7-870 Especially in games like GTA 5 I didn’t even noticed a single major performance differences because my gpu usage was extremely low I was getting I only 30+ fps but other people with the gtx750ti gets 60+ fps so now I am asking for an cpu upgrade advice, I am thinking of an I5-9th gen or an Ryzen 5-3600 I still don’t know if it will bottleneck or not I am also in a budget so any recommendations would be appreciated. Please suggest any cpu that could work well with the GTx750ti without any bottlenecks.

Title. I have a Dell laptop (specs below) and an Xbox One X, and I have an all in one PC recently, a HP 23-q105na. The specs of it are also below and aren't that great, my laptop is a lot faster.

The screen is pretty big and I'd like to hook up my laptop or Xbox to the screen, but it only has a HDMI out port and not a HDMI in. How can I use my laptop or Xbox with the screen of the AiO?

Dell Latitude 7390: CPU - Intel Core i7-8650U RAM - 16gb Storage - 512gb Graphics - Intel (R) UHD Graphics 620

HP 23-q105na: CPU - Intel Core i5-6400t RAM - 8gb Storage - 1tb Graphics - Intel (R) HD Graphics 530

I was handed this desktop. I am trying to make it semi decent for a kid to game on it (nothing fancy) for the least amount of money! It'll replace one I "made" a few months ago (optiplex 7050).

I am looking at adding an ssd (extra 512gb) and putting at least 16gb of ram (ddr4 at 3200).

Found locally a GTX1660s($100) or a GTX1070 + 32gb ram (for $120; maybe less).

What GPU would be ok for it? Not peculiar with AMD or Nvidia (as long as I do not have to change the psu/mb/processor).

Hello, I am a student and I received a second hand pc from my brother.

MOBO: A320m CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor GPU: GTX 1060 6GB RAM: 2x8GB 3200mb Disk: ADATASX8200PWP

I haven’t tried this PC out, my dad said that the MOBO’s audio is broken.

I am in a tight budget so i’m going upgrade it myself. I’m thinking of upgrading my CPU and MOBO.

I found a combo of A520m-a pro and R5 5500 which is USD$135, in which I am tempted to buy.

Or I should wait until I started working to get a new PC. I don’t think I would have time in the future to play games when i’m working so I don’t mind settling for a low-end rig. Only time I have is the first few years of uni.

Currently using Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 for schoolwork. I play games like minecraft, risk of rain 2 and cs2 but I miss playing games without stutter and fps drop.

Also looking for something that let me play some AAA games on 1080p without stutter.

Any suggestions on an upgrade for any of the above are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Edit: Just realised I put it in a wrong tag

I've been playing Crusader Kings III recently and enjoying it but it does not run well on my computer at all. Wanted to ask if there's any similar grand strategy/wargames out there, preferably in 2D/pixel art, or with incredibly potato graphics.

Hello, my aunt is currently taking care of her autistic grandson and he apparently has his heart set on getting a computer to play fortnite with his cousin from Florida, the one she was looking at just jumped up a hundred dollars in price and I was wondering what the absolute minimum I should be looking for

Hello, My son has a prebuilt HP Mo1-F0134 Intel i7 - 8700 8gb ddr4 sdram Psu is only 180w

From what I've read i can only upgrade the psu to a compatible 310w. Long story short it's only used for browsing and some occasional light gaming, roblox Minecraft, CupHead.. stuff like that, if anything looking to extend the life.

So 2 questions:

Can anyone recommend a gpu that I can pop in and even get minimal improvement/stability, i figured anything with dedicated graphics would beat out the Intel UHD 630. Looking for best value and not replacing the PSU

For ram I was going to upgrade, I would guess 16gb would be fine, and 32 might be a waste of money. Am I wrong assuming that if I were to find a better gpu??

Thanks all!!

Hi! im looking for a new device as i am a mobile player and am running out of storage. im looking for something that can run genshin at good quality and has a fair bit of space, i am looking for something on the cheaper side however but i am having a hard time for so i have looked at Steamdecks and other handelds and im just wondering if there worth it for what i want or if i should just invest in getting a pc or something

I just got a acer nitro five I don’t know a lot about laptops but it has i5, 512 gb of storage and nvidia GeForce gtx. I tried to download clash Royale to see how it runs on a really small game and it lags quite a bit what could i do to make it perform better?

On a budget, want to buy my little bro a PC for Christmas. He plays Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite- game likes that.

I don’t know what I’m looking at LOL, found pre owned PCs on marketplace

Looking to upgrade my son’s PC. The following is the machine he is running with the exception of we doubled the Ram listed, has an actual sound card and external HD for storage.

I was thinking something small like a gtx 3050 card to help play newer games but not sure if that would be best or even usable with other current parts.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, just wondering a few things about building a PC. I usually play on console, I play games like Sims, BG3, dragon age veilguard, red dead. Don't play shooters or anything. Just wondering if a) it's really feasible to build a PC with zero prior knowledge and b) if there's a good starter build that would be fairly easy to figure out. I found this link from another thread I've been leaning towards. $500 would honestly be an ideal budget Edit: usa

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kKtD8Q

I'm a broke high school student so my budget can only go for under $300 PCs. I found this build but should I save up $100 more to get a Ryzen 5 5600g but no GPU or just stick to this one for now. The games that I only play are Modded Skyrim, Modded Minecraft, and editing school projects.

I'm coming from an i3-5020U with no GPU so this looks like a massive upgrade for me.

My current set up is pentium g4400 with igpu 12gb ram and 768p monitor. Should I upgrade my CPU to i5 7500 or should I just add gt1030 to it? The game I was planning to play is zenless zone zero and rune factory series. 720p is fine I just need to have stable FPS.

Hey folks, planning to do some shopping on Black Friday. I’m looking at low end desktops under $700, probably pre-built. My 11 year old is really into the idea of using their Quest 3 with their as of yet unpurchased PC to play modded Skyrim VR. They’re hoping to get 60 fps at 1080p running VRIzk and HIGGS. Is this realistic? Any recommendations on a pre-built or minimum specs recommendations? Thanks

Hi,

Want something that I can play Team Fortress 2 and the Quake and Doom games.

I can't build it I need to buy.

What's a good option for me? I'm overwhelmed with all the options out there and don't know if most are overkill for what I want to play.

Sorry if this is a dumb question Thanks.

I'd like to take advantage of black Friday deals. Thanks.

Edit: $700 or under if possible.

Hi!

For a little under a year I've been playing World of Warcraft on my HP All-in-One 24-df1xxx Desktop-- sadly since I'm not very knowledgeable about PCs and very new to gaming in general, I made the purchase not knowing it would struggle to run it. A lot of the content from the newer expansions is inaccessible to me because of the performance issues.

So, I'm considering upgrading so I can play properly with my friends. Would a Ryzen 5600G do well in that regard...? It's advertised as good for Esports, which gives me some optimism that it would perform well in raiding & PvP battlegrounds-- that's what I'm really looking for, something pre-built, but hopefully on a budget...? The current one I'm looking it is about £400-ish.

I suppose anything would do better than my current PC, but I do have a concern that what I'm tempted to buy won't handle the upcoming WoW expansions. I'm not too sure about the longevity?

Current PC - HP All-in-One 24-df1xxx Desktop
8.00 GB (7.66 GB usable)
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-1125G4 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz

Thank you for any help!

I don't play a ton of modern AAA games on my PC, but I'd like to--and I'm just now realizing that a lot of these titles say they require 16gb of RAM as a minimum. I'd love to play some current hot games (I especially have my eye on the Silent Hill 2 remake), but I'm not sure if 8gb is "good enough"/what performance issues I might run into. (For example, I wouldn't mind waiting for long loading times, turning graphics settings down, or restricting FPS, but I also don't want to get terrible lag/stutter, or, you know, melt my PC.) Basically: I haven't had a situation before where I'm pushing up against RAM requirements, and I'm not sure what to think/expect.

General PC specs:
Intel Core i5 @ 2.50GHz
8gb single-channel DDR4 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

Hopefully I’m in the right subreddit, several others make more sense to me than this one but subreddits have more laws than a sovereign country at this point.

I'm brand new to even the idea of building a PC for gaming. Like newer than noob new. I've been getting more and more into gaming lately as l've recently started to reconnect to my inner child. I don't want a console since I know I can build a budget PC for around the same price and get so much more out of it. Right now I mainly just play Minecraft and Rocket League, but I plan to get more into FPS games soon also.

I'm really just looking for a place to start to learn about components and all the long numbers and codes that describe different things. Also, hoping there's like "starter packs" or something where I can purchase and learn as I build. The Victus 15L keeps coming up when I do research, but l've heard it comes prebuilt and I feel like half the fun is the build itself. I'd really like to build my own, even if all parts are prescribed. Maybe it's the chef in me, but something like following a recipe would be a great start if that's even possible. My budget is ideally no more than $650 (I know that's low but literally all I need is something basic for the games mentioned above).

All advice is appreciated!!

Hello again r/lowendgaming!
I'm back again. Under different circumstances this time.

So, my brother recently upgraded his PC, I now have his parts as I discussed interest in a Steam Machine.

So what do we have?
- i7-8700K
- 32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (4 Sticks)
- Gigabyte Z370 HD3

My plan was to turn this into a SFF Steam Machine that I could just easily pickup and move around the house, or keep in a room loaded with games for a TV. As well, I wanted to implement mass storage into it as I don't like installing/uninstalling all of the time.

The purpose of it would simply be to serve as a PC for television use and kick back, over a console.

That said, while I have wanted to do this. I've sat and thought about it a lot, and while the idea still interests me, I'm still in the midst of trying to get a 1440p GPU for my current system.

Where can I go with this whole debacle?

Would this run games like cyberpunk and Elden ring. CyberPowerPC - Gamer Master Gaming Desktop - AMD Ryzen 5 5500

• 16GB Memory - AMD Radeon RX

6500 XT 4GB - 1TB SSD - Black) Best Buy has it on Black Friday sale for 599 plus tax

• CPU: Xeon 5690
• RAM: 24GB
• GPU: RX 460

Would this be good for modded minecraft? I do like how it has plenty of RAM but I don't know about that fact it's DDR3 at 1333mhz. Is this good for $110?

Hi, i have a question about upgrading my PC.

My specs are:

B450 AORUS elite board

Radeon rx 570 4gb

Ryzen 3 2200G

24 GB ram

------------

The time came that my pc stopped being friends with new releasing AAA titles. So the question is, if i should upgrade my graphics ( was thinking about radeon rx 6600 as it seems to be a better price/performance ratio than it's Nvidia counterparts) or CPU ( i was checking out ryzen 5 5600x). I wouldn't want to go above 200 usd per component.

thanks for your answers
