build advice

Hi all, I built my current pc in 2011 (with help from this forum!). Since then it's been through a few GPU upgrades and increased RAM but it's the same basic build with an intel i5 2500k cpu, 8gb of ram and currently an Nvidia970 GPU. I play a lot of games and this pc has been surprisingly...

Hello again, after taking advice from the kind people here, I have come back with a new build. Hopefully this would work. I'm looking to build a new PC and as i havent built one for 10 years i need some advice, my budget is £500 but as I won't be putting it together until the new year I'm...

SO.. It's been 6 days since I've been trying to sell a 6900XT which I used for 11 days. Well, had it installed in my system for 11 days, not used for a 11 day's straight. Anyway.. Point is, the card isn't selling.. So it got me thinking about looking to buy components needed for a new build...

Hi all, Hope you can help - I'm looking to finally upgrade my PC and would really love a 3060Ti. A lot of the pre-builts (much preferred to building my own!) can be played around with to add one in, but the cost usually comes to around £1100 once sufficient storage is catered for. Is anyone...

Hi there, looking to build, I've posted before not too long ago but since then the 7900x has released and I've changed my mind about doing an itx build in the ssupd case. I was worried about the thermals in that case, especially when I (eventually) get a dedicated gpu. So I've decided to find a...

Hey all, thanks in advance for any input :) I've been debating upgrading recently and would like your input on if it's really worth it. I've got a 3080ti so won't need to buy a GPU but if I jump to the most recent generation of CPU's then I'll need to get new everything pretty much. I'm...

So I want my pc for high end emulation on cemu, with games like Breath of the Wild at 4k 60fps. I also want to run older emulators like Citra and dolphin with games like super mario sunshine and ocarina of time 3D using 4k texture packs and uncapping framerate to 60fps. Additionally, I'd also...

Hi all, My existing self-build PC is now a tad old and past the point where individual components can be swapped out to give it a new lease of life. (It's still using an i7 4770K!) Things have moved on since I last dived into the PC build arena and I'm a little unsure of what to go for. I've...

So I built a new pc the other day, 5800x, 3080, 32gb ram, 2tb m.2 ssd, I'm running windows 10, and sometimes everything slowly begins to crash, things i have open not responding, then when i click off it to another app, for example discord, that crashes and even the windows bar stops responding...

I recently ordered this and I was wondering if anyone has experience with flashing its BIOS? I'll need to flash it so that it can function with the 5800x that I've ordered along with it, my other question is, will it be possible to flash with all the parts put in, or do I need to do it before...

Hello A friend of mine has asked me to build them a rig that is good for getting into video editing. I haven't built one for a while and usually only build gaming rigs for myself, so I am a little out of touch with what's good and what's available. Their budget is around £800 (excluding...

So sometime in the future I’d like to build a server for my plex library, currently I’m using a synology ds918+ nas as my plex server and it’s fine but it’s not exactly great at having multiple remote streams. I’d like to build a somewhat small factor nas with the ability to hot swap drives like...

Hi, I am dreaming to build my own gaming PC hopefully this year, I would love to get your feedbacks on it! Any improvements (that doesn't cost a lot of $$) that can be made on this build? Or you have any input that some parts are not a good match and should be replaced by others? I'm not really...

Currently have a basic build from 2 years ago, looking to play mainly Warzone at 144fps. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks
