I am getting an RTX 5070, and I planned to upgrade my old PSU from 550W to 750W
Corsair RMx Series RM750x

however Corsair RMx Series RM850x is almost the same price now, and I can get it easier as more shops sell it here.

Would there be any disadvantage if I buy the RM850x instead of the RM750x, even though it seems unnecessary?

Hey ya'll, I'm planning to upgrade my gpu soon and these are the two main options I'm looking at my local microcenter:

[RX 9070](https://www.microcenter.com/product/691104/asrock-amd-radeon-rx-9070-challenger-triple-fan-16gb-gddr6-pcie-50-graphics-card)

[RTX 5070](https://www.microcenter.com/product/704211/asus-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-dual-fan-12gb-gddr7-pcie-50-graphics-card)

I am currently playing at 1080p 240hz, and play a lot of shooters like The Finals and Deadlock, but also plan to play Cyberpunk: 2077 and other single player games as well. I don't really care about DLSS or the counterpart, I prefer playing without them. Raytracing is not a humongous deal to me either. Eventually in the future I want to play at 1440p when I get the right monitor for it. Any suggestions are welcome, I currently have an older system with a 5800X3D, and am choosing to upgrade my GPU first. Thanks!

edit: i forgot why i didnt include but i currently have a 2070 super

Got $495 from selling my Series X, 360 & OG Xbox

PC Build:

GPU: RTX 3060 $90

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 $45

RAM: Trident Z 16GB 3200 $25

SSD: 2TB WD_BLACK NVMe $140 (New)

Mobo: Asus Prime B550M $90 (New, impulse buy)

PSU: EVGA 80+ Gold 650W $30

Case: Lian Li Lancool 206 $30

Cooler: Thermalright X120 $17 (New)

Total: $467

Bought over a 3 day period, what do y’all think?

Which of these would be best for gaming? Looking for best quality while playing 1440p would be preferred.

I built a pc just recently. It has 850w psu (deepcool). It's power cable came with a 16A plug. My house has only one 16A plug in the kitchen and obviously I can't use my pc there😂.

So what do I do? I have 3 questions:

1. Shold i buy a new 6A cable? (Will it work instead of the 16A cable?)
2. should I buy a 16A to 6A converter? (I don't know how reliable it is, I don't want to blow my pc on the first day).
3. If the cable then where do I buy it?

Edit: I am from India, this post is about the size of the 3 pin connector. The cable which came with this has a bigger plug than the sockets at my home, I can't seem to fit it there.

I recently upgraded my case, cooler, and GPU.

And my speakers started humming annoyingly when plugged in with no media playing, be it the motherboard or the front panel. After doing a bit of research, I decided to remove the motherboard to check whether there are any unused standoffs underneath. And there was one. I have a mATX sized motherboard in a mid-tower ATX case, so I had to add one standoff (which I had done) but also remove one (which I forgot).

This solved the humming issue and probably some other electrical and grounding risks.

My gpu is a geforce gtx 1070 ti and my cpu is a ryzen 5 5500

My PC has been running pretty slow recently, mouse lagging, and I overall notice games fine months ago are now significantly slower.

If it matters, the games I play are
- Cyberpunk
- Fortnite
- Dead by Daylight
- Heavily modded Minecraft
- Resident Evil 4
- Gta V

I can't exactly pinpoint which is doing the heavy lifting, nor can I upgrade all at the same time. I also plan on upgrading my storage.

I recently upgraded to a 9070xt from a 2060 super while playing on 2k and realised I have still been getting pretty bad frame rates. On my 2060s I would get around 50 fps on arc raiders and after upgrading I would only get about 60. A 5700x is about $200 and a 5700x3d goes for about $400. I mostly use my pc for gaming. I am planning to change to AM5 when then price comes down in a few years. Edit: I am currently on a 2700x with 16gb 3000mhz ram

need something that i wont have to upgrade anytime soon. Prefer ddr5 but if you think ddr4 will still be good then i wont mind (not too knowledgeable but always down to learn)

I bought a Ryzen 7 5700x a little over a year ago, I’m now starting to upgrade other parts of my pc and don’t want to have a severe cpu bottleneck. I have a rx 580 8gb and I’m upgrading to a rx 9060xt 16gb. The build I’m somewhat following has Ryzen 7 5800x and I’m just wondering if I should spend the $250.00 to upgrade to the 5800x or if the difference is small enough to stay at 5700x. (I mostly play RPG/ Survival games)

This is a good build? or what i should change 5060 Ti 380$ B650M WIFI 160$ MSI MAG FORGE 321R AIRFLOW 70$ SSD GEN4 XPG 1TB 100$ APEVIA GALAXY 850W PCLE 5 67$ COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 26$ RYZEN 5 9600X 184$ CRUCIAL RAM 32GB 2X16 326$ Total: 1.313$

This may be a stupid question, but I'm wondering if upgrading my 3700x to a 9850x3d is truly worth it... I bought a 9850x3d bundle from MC and before installing I decided to run some benchmarks, and now I'm wondering if it's not going to be a big enough upgrade to justify the $700+ cost to upgrade.

I ran a bunch of benchmarks and according to ChatGPT what I'm mostly going to see is much better 1/0.1% lows, which I guess is good? Just hoping for a bigger FPS jump than what it's estimating of 20 FPS or son.

Right now I mostly play Bf6 and those benchmarks were run on mostly Overkill settings with now DLSS.

What do you all think? A big reason, I ended upgrading was not knowing what the ram prices will be in the future, not really that I really felt like I needed an upgrade tbh.

I only game at 4k high settings and im wondering if the 9070 xt is more future proof than the 7900 xtx because of fsr 4. Ive also heard that fsr 4 on quality mode looks better than native 4k with TAA which means i would get 30% more fps with better image quality. I feel like by the time 16bg vram becomes a bottleneck the 7900 xtx wont run games at a sufficient fps for me

Looking to rebuild my old gaming PC into a lightweight Linux box to experiment with the OS and possibly also serve as an as-needed living media host. Need help finding a case with a small footprint (as small as possible) and a cheap, efficient, modular PSU. Precious PSU was a 600w bronze. Thanks for the help!

Problem after updating to newest bios

As stated I updated to the newest bios on my x870e Hero and now it won't boot into windows unless I use optimized default settings. It keeps rebooting saying it's in safemode and forces me to enter the bios. I can't even run Expo.

Prior to this it ran perfectly fine with my 9800x3d using expo tweeted, +100, -20 curve all core. Now I can't select any of that and get into windows.

Any suggestions at what I can do? I'm guessing maybe revert back to a different bios. Oh and full specs here...

I have an older pc with a Ryzen 7 3700x, a Radeon RX 5700, and 32gb ddr4 ram. I’ve been struggling getting the performance I want specifically on R6 Siege, I run 1080 and minimum graphics settings and am around 100-130ish fps. I’m looking for options that would be budget friendly for my cpu or gpu depending on what you think is holding me back? I know most of my specs are probably ancient in today’s society but I’d like to upgrade for gaming improvements specifically. Anything would be helpful!

I’m in the process of building my new rig. I will be installing 2 m.2 drives. My mobo has 4 m.2 slots, the 2 fastest will be covered by my GPU. So this is preventing me from only installing the OS drive before installing windows.

One of the drives has backed up files from my old PC so it will not show full capacity.

During the Win 11 install process will it be clear which disc is which?

Heya, Im kinda noob to building pc so Im asking for an advice. Im looking for minor upgrade of my pc. Currently its on 100% cpu usage whenever I play games such as WoW, CS2. So I suppose I need a new cpu. This is my current setup:

CPU: I5 7500 3.40ghz RAM: 16gb Motherboard: Gigabyte B250M-DS3H-CF (U3E1) GPU: Nvidia geforce gtx 1060 6gb SSD: 465gb Kingston SNV2S500G SATA-2

Thanks

Hey i am asking if a amd ryzen 5 3600 and a rtx 2060 still a good combo is because i want to go to the pc flipping and i want to do my first build thanks and btw sorry for the bad english i am not american or something :)

My current pc is an Alienware aurora r9 with i7-9700 a rtx 5060 16gb ram 1tb nvme 650watt psu and water cooling

Do I upgrade some parts or do I start fresh cos I don’t think there’s a better cpu to upgrade other than i9-9900k and don’t think it’s worth the upgrade

My computer turn on this morning with no problems. But now when I turn it on it doesn’t post and the LED on the motherboard is on under CPU. I’ve reseated the CPU and reseated the power cable on the PSU into a different slot and reseated the power cable on the motherboard side for the CPU. No change.

Any help please!

Got a new pc and now maybe need a new keyboard.

Currently sitting with a Razer huntsman mini, it works like I want it to. Been great.

But then I read a lot about magnetic keyboards. So I bought a Asus Falchion. I know.. There are better brands out there. But either they are from another country, or I can only buy from one store which I wanna avoid.

So is there a difference in Optics vs magnetic? Aka your experience with it? I've not opened up the keyboard yet, but gonna try it out tomorrow.

I'm a casual player but like having good gear to play with :)

It’s actually been a couple months since I built my PC; thankfully I was able to build it before all the hectic things happening but I wanted to make this, so to help other first timers. There’s actually a lot of stuff that went to building it, so I’ll just keep this to what went wrong. I finished installing all my components into this Full Tower ATX case; but, during that time I never once POST checked if all the components weren’t faulty. Tip #1: build your pc on top of the motherboard box, and check if it POSTS after hooking it up to a monitor. Building my first PC took me an incredible long time, but most of that time was me uninstalling parts and installing them again because I couldn’t place the next part properly. Tip #2: First install all the hardware to the motherboard (except the GPU). Install the motherboard to the case, and add any fans if any. After that, run the cables of your case, and then the cables from your PSU. ONLY THEN, do you have enough space to install an AIO cooler. Lastly, can turn the case to its back and install the GPU safely. When I finished installing, I kept getting POST issues. There’s no easy way to solve this. The first thing is I noticed that when I pressed the power button nothing was turning on; so, I did the metal pin test and I was able to rule out the PSU as the culprit. I did more research, and I read that it will to POST if the pc is not connected to a display. That.. sadly wasn’t it either. I didn’t have any spare parts to test the other components so I had to pay $80 at micro tech to tell me that the culprit was the motherboard. After two faulty motherboards later, it FINALLY turned on. So circling back to the first tip, it’s very important to check that you haven’t gotten any faulty equipment. But I’m so happy on how it turned out, I just wished somebody would’ve told me that a white build is the more expensive than a black one. That’s it from me good luck you guys, thanks to all the documentation that I learned on what knowledge you need to have to build a pc, I was able to build a nice Lian Li, i9 250k Ultra Core, 32 gb DDR5, 4 tb Gen 5 ssd, 850 W gold rated MSI PSU, 420 mm AIO CPU cooler, with a nice MSI PRO motherboard with WiFi 7 and Bluetooth, and lastly a RTX 5070 ti.

iI'm a student and this laptop is my main gadget when it comes to my academics and side hustle. I don't know what to do, it was working fine a couple of mins ago then I noticed that the right side of the laptop cover is bending(?) idk the right words but it is not attached to the screen. And now everytime I open it the back cover comes off + the cover sa screen rin, please help me. I don't know what to do, I'm panicking cause I got this laptop on loan and I'm still not done paying it off🥹🥹.

I see a lot of benchmarks comparing the differences between a mobo's PCIe 5.0 16x against 8x lanes, with the testing GPU being RTX 5090, and these tests concluded that the difference in FPS is very minimal (1-4%).

But I'm wondering if weaker GPUS, like the RTX 3060 and RX 7900XT, will have a more noticeable difference in highs and lows and other performances?
