Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Streaming and Gaming PC help

• Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm currently looking to build a new PC and I really need help.

I wanna start by saying I already have a PC but it's an HP prebuilt from 2023, here's the specs:

i7-12700F

3060TI

32gb ddr4

1TB SSD

I do streaming, YouTube videos and play pretty heavy games, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Wuthering Waves, and newer titles.

What I really need is to stream and record at the same time while I'm playing, which on my current PC is basically impossible, and I need it considering I'm getting important sponsors and growing.

Since upgrading my prebuilt is basically impossible due to HP proprietary parts, I'm building a new one, and I was thinking of using the old one to stream and record while playing on the new one, using a capture card.

I already bought a 9060XT, and was thinking of getting an MSI PRO B760-P WIFI DDR4 and putting transferring my I7-12700F and 32gb ddr4, and just get something less for the streaming PC since I'm guessing it won't require as much, just don't know what.

For the case I was thinking of going with a Lian Li Lancool 217.

And for the PSU a Be Quiet! pure power 13 M 850W (to keep it open for future upgrades).

At first I wanted to buy directly a Ryzen CPU, but that would require me to spend more money right now, and I want to divide the expenses (gaming PC now, streaming PC in a few months)

I already paid 600€ for the 9060XT.

I should mention I live in Italy. and my budget for the rest of this build is about 500/600€ (if possible I'd prefer 500€)

Purchasing Advice - Upgrades What should I upgrade first?

• Upvotes

Hello all! I’ve been recently getting back into pc gaming and I am over the moon. My wonderful boyfriend has a pc that his brother built which I can imagine was pretty good at the time, now it kinda falls behind. So I was looking for some advice on what I should upgrade next? My number one is a gpu for sure but I’m just not sure if it’d be smarter to just upgrade the cpu AND gpu. Any advice welcome!

SPECS:
Board: z590 pro WiFi
CPU: I5-10400
GPU: Radeon RX 580 8gb
RAM: 2x8gb Corsair vengeance ddr4 - 2x4gb crucial ballistix sport ddr4

I don’t live near a micro center (cries in west Texan) nor am I concerned with price, I’m honestly just trying to see what I should be investing in as far as time and money lol. Cheers!

Yo guys, after 10 years the time for an upgrade finally came. I’m trying to fit in 25k NOK budget, which is approximately 2600 usd, and I’ve been thinking about something like that. I’m looking for some decent 1440p, mostly singleplayer gaming. I’m living in Norway if that would be helpful information. Would you suggest any changes in this build?

So about a month ago I decided to get my first desktop. I chose a cyberpower ultra 7 prebuilt. I loved the look of the Asus g700 but couldn’t justify paying more for less. What is the circled part in the Asus called? Is there an existing market for those these? I want to do some cosmetic upgrades for my unit (second pic) but haven’t seen many ideas. Any suggestions?

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Pc build help newbie

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I should start by saying I'd already posted in another community so apologies if you see this twice but I'm looking for as many opinions as possible! I'm a whole life console player (UK) but long time PC enthusiast (this means I have no idea what I'm looking at). I've been looking at getting a custom build PC for quite some time and I have found this £2500 after some research and support I was hoping to see what you guys thought: https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/configurator/3xs-edge-zen-amd/default

After checking out all the parts on PCPartPicker it only comes up around ~£200 cheaper if I were to build it myself but I'm not confident enough to do that. I'm aware it's expensive and I know it's a classic case of new time PC gamer spending obscene money but my aim is to get something that will last me a good few years before I even need to think about upgrading parts, hence the cost. I want to play WoW Forever, BG3, intensive RTS' like TWW3 / Stellaris at high settings but also be in a good position to play next gen ones, like TWW40k. I would also be interested in checking out PC FPS shooters.

I know I'm asking a lot but I'd appreciate any help or tips. Also if anyone had any monitor suggestions that would be very helpful too!

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Budget Micro-ATX/ATX Case for GF

Looking to use my spare components to build my Girlfriend her first PC, but can’t decide on a case.

Looking to spend about or less than $100 CAD. She prefers to get a more “aesthetic” looking one, maybe wood or fish tank style if possible.

Can be either Micro-ATX or ATX, but would slightly prefer a Micro-ATX case since her room is kinda small. Also preferably black cases, since my spare components are all black/silver

Here’s the current parts I have, mainly just sending this for the GPU, since that’s the only component taking up significant space:

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Looking for Advice on a Prebuilt PC

3 Upvotes

Hi, I was thinking about upgrading from my old gaming laptop to an actual PC. I have a limited budget of $1,700AUD, but I only plan on playing games in 1080p, and I rarely play AAA titles but if I did I would be maximising performance over graphics. I typically play Overwatch and indie games of varying types, but some have been getting a bit too heavy for my little laptop.

I know a little but not a lot about PCs, and ultimately wanted to skip the stress of putting a build together by buying prebuilt. I'm in Australia and found a PC on Nebula for $1,600 AUD with the following specs, but I was worried about the price being so low for 16gb dedicated, so I'm curious to know if there's anything majorly wrong with it that I'm not seeing?

  • Nebula N6 Micro ATX Case - Black
  • AMD Ryzen 5 5600 | 4.4GHz | 6 Cores | 12 Threads
  • GIGABYTE B550M DS3H AC R2 Micro ATX
  • ASUS Radeon RX 9060 XT Dual - 16GB
  • Nebula APEX RGB 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 - Black
  • 1TB KLEVV CRAS C925G M.2 NVMe [R: 7400MB/s | W: 6500MB/s]
  • Nebula Ventra Digital ARGB Air Cooler - Black

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts What PC to buy?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to buy a PC. I was told by an animating teacher that gaming PC’s are the best to buy for animating.

I’d like to animate/model 3D and 2D art. I’ll be using Blender, Clip studio Paint, Live2d, ToonSquid. Etc

Of course, I’d like to also play games on it: Wuthering waves, ZZZ, genshin, etc.

My budget is $2,500 (AUD) and I’ve found that JB-HiFi is the cheapest. I know nothing about PC’s so please tell me what would be best for games and animation, thank you! There are a few more PC’s on the website I think so if you need to see more, just go to the website or I can send screenshots of the rest.

The information about each PC should be on the website so please help !! 🙏😭 if you need the link or you want me to screenshot the information about one of the PC’s, I will! So just let me know!

I already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse ready as well

Purchasing Advice - PC Build / Parts Is this ₹90.5K PC build worth it for gaming and video editing?

0 Upvotes

Build:

- i5-14400F – ₹14K

- Gigabyte B760 DDR4 – ₹7K

- 16GB DDR4 3200MHz – ₹8K

- Crucial 480GB SSD – ₹8K

- RTX 3050 6GB – ₹26K

- Cabinet + 600W PSU – ₹6.35K

- LG 24” monitor + keyboard/mouse

Total: ₹90,506 including GST (Indian Rupees)

My budget is strictly ₹90K, and I can't go higher. The RTX 3050 6GB is available for ₹26K locally, while other shops are quoting around ₹30K.

Is this build worth buying, or should I change some components? My main uses are gaming, video editing, YouTube and freelancing.

Please suggest the best improvements within my budget.
