I am building a PC from basically scrap parts I found. So far I have a I3 4160 8gb ram 1333MHz 480gb sata SSD a 460W PSU with no 6+2 pin power connector.

The most intense applications this PC will run will be GTA5 on a 720p monitor and Minecraft on 8 chunks render distance (no Discord in the background or anything simmar). Also it's running Windows 10. I found a good deal on a Zotac Synergy GTX 650 2GB. Do you guys think its performance will be enough for what I need or should I spend 3x the amount of money for a RX 560 4gb?

So this is the first time I'm building a gaming PC. I don't have much knowledge about processors CPU and GPU. I don't know which graphics card is compatibility with which CPU. I just know that a good graphics card is the most important for gaming. So my friend got this lowend gaming PC for reasonable price and I'm thinking of getting the same. I'm giving the specs down here, so see and tell me if something needs to be changed. Again I don't know much about gaming PCs. I just want a PC that can run old classic games like rdr2, batman Arkham knight, ghost of Tsushima, call of duty and also new games that are coming out right now even if they run on low graphics, but not too low that they start to look bad. I'm not into competitive gaming and don't need ultra HD quality. I just want to play games that run smoothly. I'm actually from Asia and gaming PCs are very expensive here so I'm thinking of getting a PC that's not way too expensive and not too low end like right in the middle. These are the PC specs:

Intel xeon e3 1245 v2 CPU AMD Sapphire nitro+ RX 580 8GB GPU 8GB RAM (ddr 3) Proton T-Dagger Power Supply 600 Watt Thunder elite casing with 3 RGB fans 22" LG IPS LCD (1080p)

This is my first time posting here So I would be grateful for your help. Thank you

YESTERDAY I DOWNLOADED A GTA IV FITGIRL REPACK AND IT IS STILL UNPACKING,LIKE ITS BEEN AROUND 20HRS?

IS IT COMMON OR AM I THE ONLY ONE?

I know absolutely nothing any PC specs. I've played Skyrim and fallout 4 on low graphics for years on my office PC (that just died).

I'm looking for something in the 5 or 6 hundred dollar range...

I found this. It gets good reviews on Newegg. Is it solid enough. A fair value?

I5 9400F, RX 5600XT, 8GB DDR4, NVME M2 500GB, 5 RGB Fans, Windows 11 Pro https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002D-000G7?Item=9SIAZBDKCS4716&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIAZBDKCS4716-_-10182024

I'm also concerning this one but didn't know if the parts are worth the price increase.

I5 9400F, RTX 3050, 8GB*2(16GB) DDR4, NVME M2 500GB, 5 RGB Fans, Windows 11 https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-002D-000H0?Item=9SIAZBDKCS4717&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-9SIAZBDKCS4717-_-10182024

Or, if you know of a better set-up that's ready to go, please let me know. I didn't know where else to look besides Newegg.

i got i5-8250u with intel uhd 620. For cs2, I get around 50 fps using potato settings. But laptop gets hot and fps drop often. I think if I limit fps to 40 I can get stable performance and less heat? I have already tried in-game fps settings but it doesnt work under 60 fps. Thanks.

My 9 year old has saved up birthday money and wants a "new" pc, and a good friend has offered his old gaming rig which needs a few new parts - I'm taking him up on it, despite it's age but am looking for advice on making it more beast...

It's got an i5 3570k, 24gb ram and an hd 7950 (not 7960, my mistake). Needs a CPU cooler, PSU and SSD.

I was looking at a 1tb sata SSD and 500w PSU, but is it better to go 128ssd + bigger HDD?

I'd also probably upgrade the GPU at some point.... What should I go for that's cheap but worthy? Or is that going to bosh through Minecraft with mods and similarly demanding games?

Any suggestions on parts, how-to guides (first time doing any of this) and and general knowledge how?

Thank you!

Hey guys, I have these two pc:

1. First PC: • Processor: Intel Core i3-1115G4 (11th Gen) • RAM: 8 GB • GPU: Integrated Intel UHD Graphics
2. Second PC: • Processor: Intel Core i5-7500 (7th Gen) • RAM: 8 GB • GPU: Integrated Intel HD 620

Currently I own this 2 pc, please help me choose which one is better for gaming.

I think I have the better specs yet his runs better when gaming His- Ideapad 3 15itl05 i3 11th version (Stock) Mine- Acer Aspire 5 A515-54G i7 10th version (Upgraded with 20GB ram)

So I'm wondering why his iGPU runs better than my MX250? on Genshin specifically.

I have a pretty new laptop (my only PC) and while its CPU is pretty good it relies on integrated Arc graphics, which can run almost all of the games I want but is not so good with most AAA games after 2015. For example I Red Dead on medium/low graphics is 25-35 fps and stutters like crazy. I have been thinking about an external GPU but I will not spend over 100 dollars on one. Are (brand new) integrated graphics so bad that even an old low end GPU is better?

Specs:

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H

Intel Arc Graphics (integrated)

16GB RAM

Windows 11

I have a ryzen 3400g and a 1660 super with 16gb of 3000 Mhz ram and a 480 gb SSD .I get around 160 fps on the lowest settings at 1080p @60hz. My ping is stable and I have 0%loss. The render latency spikes to 20-24ms often from an average of 12-13 ms. What could be the reason for this ? What would I need to upgrade to get rid of this latency issue resulting in fps drops since competitive games require stable fps. Are there any settings I could tweak or do I need to upgrade ?

Hi, im looking to upgrade my pc to play things like World Of Warcraft, Valorant, Throne And Liberty and maybe some more casual games (not interested in AAA games)

Is a HP elite pro 6200 with an i5 6600 and recently just bought a 16gb ram kit and a SSD and i'm looking for a nice GPU. Was thinking of a GTX 960 or a Radeon RX640 but apparently the bottleneck is INSANE. It has to be a low profile one with no external power since it has like a 200w PSU and its 6-pin

Can you help me out with this? Thank you guys, appreciate it.

I have no idea in building pc and choosing specs but i want to build my own since they say it is cheaper than to buy fully built PC. I saw this website where it helps me build PC and choose specs easypc.com and I am from Philippines. Please guys help me in this, PC is good for schoolworks and play some games such as DoTA 2. Please recommend or help me in this guys thanks.

processor = Ryzen 5 4600g CPU cooler = deepcool LE720 motherboard = msi a520m-A Pro RAM= team elite vulcan Z 16gb graphics card= nvidia geforce GTX 1650 SSD M.2= MSI spatium m450 500gb SSD SATA= ADATA SU650 HDD= seagate barracuda ST1000DM010 psu= corsair cx650 650w

I've never been a computer guy, always console. But as I get older (i'm just 23 tho) I want more to have my pc gamer. But if i'm here it's because i'm on a low budget (I have a wife and kids to feed and my first house to pay and maintain)

I try to understand what should I buy for a good gaming experience, I don't want to be limited to play on low setting for big games.

I don't mind to build my own if it's worth it.

My budget for right now is around 300$ (i will clearly wait for holyday discount).

My question is, can I get something descent for that price (don't have to be flashy I just want to game) or should I wait to save more money?

If yes what would you recommend me?

Hi, I'm new to this subreddit and I came to ask something. First off I have a Ryzen 5 5600g without a dedicated gpu and one stick of 16gb ram.I saw that dual channel improves performance significantly, especially on integrated gpus.I was thinking of buying an 8gb stick that is the same brand, speed and some other things that they have in common, because currently I can't afford 16gb. First question: does 8gb + 16gb work as dual channel? Second question: Does it really improve performance significantly or it isn't worth it? Thanks!

Edit:Also I had to use a flair so I used this flair, but it doesn't really make sense so don't question me about it.

Hi Guys,

I have Dell optiplex 7010 Dt with i5 3470 processor ,32gb ram,256 gb SSD and 1 tb Hdd.

I only occasionally play games like Wwe 2k15,2k18,Gta san andreas,Gta 4.

I recently tried 4 gb gt 730 gpu it overheated in an hour.

I need advice on which GPU is best for my current Pc.

I only need good graphics upto 720-1280 to play Wwe 2k games

Please recommend good and Compatible GPU without Overheating issue for my Pc. Also please notify if power supply upgrade is needed?

I have a Terra Mobile 360-11 (Celeron N3010, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD) and it runs windows pro. I need some recommendations for what kind of optimizations to make (For reference, it's just about playable with sonic generation and chugs on Minecraft with the fabulously optimized mod pack)

I Upgraded from a GT 730 to an RX 580 8gb, before upgrading my game ran in the range of 100-120 fps running perfectly smooth with no drops, after the upgrade my game constantly drops below the 60s in team fights making it much less playable, i have an i5-4460 and 16 ddr3 ram, is it possible it could be a CPU bottleneck neck? And is there anyway to to solve this?

i have been looking for a budget pc i have come accross 2 good and affordible options that appeal to me.

i really like the look of pre build 2 as the case is nicer and the pc looks good inside the case, where as pre build one is half empty inside the case which makes it look cheap and deppressing.

If I was rich I would just buy the parts from the companies that I support. But I'm not and my wallet would hate me if I did that. According to 3Dcenter any 1060 versus the RX 570 and over has better idle and gaming power draw.

For CPUs GN's website says that Windows behaviours is erratic and testing this would give incorrect results. I don't know if the same affects GPUs as well. Even if Intel stock has better efficiency I'm still not going to let it consume 5 times more power than my current CPU. It would have to be whichever CPU is the fastest at 50 Watts. So if it's some AM4 CPU then I will progress towards that in the future.

I'm looking to buy a laptop where I can play games like Fifa and COD. As such, I was looking for laptops with 16GB RAM, 512 GB/1 TB memory and all processors onwards from i7 and Ryzen 7, depending on which one I buy.

EA SPORTS FC 24 Recommended Requirements

• CPU: Intel Core i7-6700 @ 3.40GHz or AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7 GHZ
• RAM: 12 GB
• VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 or AMD RX 5600 XT
• DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 6144 MB
• PIXEL SHADER: 5.1
• VERTEX SHADER: 5.1
• OS: Windows 10 - 64-Bit
• FREE DISK SPACE: 100 GB

Here are a few links of laptops that I'm considering buying. Will they be good enough to play these games? And as you can see, I want to keep my budget under 600 or so.

Laptop 1 - HP

Laptop 2 - HP

Laptop 3 - Dell

All these laptops have integrated graphics cards. Will that be a problem? I'm also a newbie in terms of gaming but I know that I won't do much high end gaming. Just basic games like Fifa, COD, GTA 5 if possible. And I also don't know too much about which laptops are good for gaming since I haven't done a lot of gaming before. I'm also planning to use the laptop for coding. Should I buy one of these laptops? If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks!

I bought a new monitor which greatly surpassed the ability of my PC which is expected as the PC is 10 years old.

Looking to spend ~1500 CDN.

Monitor specs are 2560x1440, 180hz, 0.2ms.

Really I'm just trying to understand if it's possible for a build to reach the potential of this monitor with this budget. If not then what budget could do it?

From what I've read I'm considering the 14700f for CPU and 4070 GTX for GPU... Is this underkill/overkill.

Edit: My main game is Dota2 but would like to be able to branch out to stuff like Satisfactory, Cyberpunk, Deadlock.

For context I used to play league of legends and valorant in i5 2500 8gb Ram and 750ti. It worked well but then gave out a few months ago.

I use Ryzen 5 4560g 16gb for work. Mostly browser and multiple visual studio code.

I'm looking for a build that I can both play and work. I don't want to consider upgrade paths and just wanna focus the build on games I play and work I do.

Things I want to achieve with my new build.

1. 100+fps low settings valorant at 144hz monitor (not sure for the optimal build for this)
2. League of legends medium settings 144fps (can run on potato)
3. Multiple vs code and browsers at the same time (I think achievable with 16gb based on work pc)

Notes Im leaning towards intel because of 2 reasons

1. 2nd hand intel are more accessible for me than second hand ryzen
2. I'm planning on buying the GPU in a separate date so I'm looking to use the pc before I can have a GPU and Intels cpus with integrated graphics are cheaper compared to ryzen because Ryzen igpu's are stronger.

Edit: Need a new pc build that I can both work and play since I can't play on the work pc

The budget is around 250 dollars for the System Unit without the GPU. and im in South east asia so prices are very different compared to other countries Specially for 2nd hand parts

Also I also forgot I still have my old SSD and i will use that for the meantime.

Which is the best rx 580 2048 sp? The only choices available in my country are the XFX, Sapphire, and Asus. All three choices are 2048sp and I will only be playing RF online and FF7 remake on it.
