My PC arrived today from PCS. Looks great by the way. So far I've updated the GPU drivers and Windows so everything is up to date and I installed Steam and Discord. Whilst waiting for a game to download I’ve been constantly getting blue screened with the message “WHEA uncorrectable error”. I’m...
I upgraded last week but they're waiting on my 5950x as there's none of those in stock either... it's worth calling and asking first to make sure that everything else in your build is in stock before switching.
I just got off the phone with a very helpful guy (didn't catch his name) but I enquired about switching my ROG STRIX 3080 to a 3090 and he told me that they had MSI 3090 cards in stock so I've now switched. Apparently it's only my 5950x in my build that is holding me up but apparently they are...
@SpyderTracks @AgentCooper A sticky thread listing the things you should do/check for when you receive your PC would be very helpful for us noobs. Just a suggestion :)
I can't wait to play when my new PC arrives... I'm so close to buying the PS4 version as it's playable on my PS5 but think I'll just be patient as I'm sure I'll appreciate it a lot more on the PC
Hello,
I require the expertise of you enthusiasts to help build a PC for my friend's little one. The max budget is £1,000 and the machine will be used exclusively for gaming as well as some light web browsing. Some games he plays are Fortnite, Roblox and Slime Rancher to name a few. It's...
Some of you really need to take a chill pill - you admit yourselves to knowing that you're pre-ordered an item that they don't have. If PCS had a queue system where we could actively see our place in a queue it's only going to help one type of person and that's people that are impatient. I'm on...
As someone who has also been an Intel boy my whole life - I have been converted... sadly with this new generation of ryzen cpu's it makes no sense to sit on intel technology that is near 6 years old
I think the power supply you have chosen is massively overkill for this spec - a 850w will be more than enough and would also account for any upgrades in the future. If I was you I'd put the money saved from downgrading the power supply towards 16GB 3600mhz memory instead of the 3200mhz.
But...
The graphics card you've chosen will be great for gaming at 1440p. What sort of games do you play?
Personally I would personally pair it with this monitor (plus it's on a nice 30% discount right now)...
Okay, I have changed the motherboard to match. I certainly will take some photos when I receive it... with the 3080's we're looking at next year now right? Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback guys - gonna meet you in the middle @SpyderTracks and opt for the 5900x and the 3080 as I am interested in Flight Sim and will downgrade the RAM to 32gb 3600
Cheers for getting back to me quickly... I'm pairing this with a LG 27GN950-B. OP was kinda what I was going for.
@AgentCooper At the moment I play games like EFT and any and all FPS. I also enjoy the AAA titles that are around the corner for example Assassins Creed, Cyberpunk and Watch Dogs...
Hello,
I'm building a PC that I'm going to use only for gaming (I don't stream or do anything video editing or anything of that nature). Money is no object with this build, I just want to be able to game at 4k at 144hz. I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to PC's so I'm just looking to...
