I'm not sure you need a 3900x or a strix 570 mbo for gaming. You might be better off upping the GPU to e.g. a 2080 super and dropping the cpu back to a 3600 and a cheaper 570 (or even a b4500). If you do stick with the 3900x I'd go for a beefier cooler, maybe the H100 or above. Aso, with this...

Can I ask what motherboard you have and what you use the PC for? The thing is, that CPU upgrade is fairly minor, it really wont make a lot of difference. If you have a motherboard that could handle the new Ryzen 3000 range though, you might see some real upgrade for your efforts (and I think...

That's a real shame mate, I do sympathise. Did they say what they thought was the problem?

Does that budget include a monitor? If you already have one, what refresh rate and resolution is it (or make and model number if you don't know)? Any particular work (e.g. coding?) or just the usual office stuff?

Here is another possibility: Case: FRACTAL FOCUS G BLACK GAMING CASE (Window) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six Core CPU (3.6GHz-4.25GHz/19MB CACHE/AM4) Motherboard Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE: DDR4, USB 3.1 - RGB Ready Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 8GB) Graphics Card...

Even if only one is for gaming, you are talking about 4K screens, and for gaming AAA games on a large 4K screen are going to want a 20780ti, rather than the 2070 super.

Great setup. I have the same case and seeing yours makes clear mine is overdue for a clean!

Leap motion is awesome! I used to use it stuck on the front of my VR headset, but I've not moved it to my new one (from Vive to Vive pro) yet. It works a bit better on Rift, I think but I use a rift emulator to bring some of the LM supported apps onto my Vive. Here's the demo that got me hooked...

Ouessebon is right - highly competitive gamers in first person shooters want the highest fps they can get, so go for 1080p resolution monitors with hundreds of fps. If you are not yet at or aiming to be at that level, then 144hz 1440p monitor is an awesome pick - still way, way more fps than...

Which app did you use? Also, do you think that poker app could work with LeapMotion, for ultra realistic hand motions?

Ah, I see. Do you sometimes hear him coughing in the bathroom while you are on the PC?

The PS4 is a pain to play on your lap while on a train though! Seriously, the PS4 is designed for gaming and made by the million - a laptop is portable, able to do some stuff a PS4 can't and in the case of PCS, built to order. At very low budgets the PS4 is often the better bet. Given you want...

No, it has no graphics card.

That's a decent PC, plenty of life left in it yet. Even with the 1440p screen the 980ti must be giving decent fps. If you sell it you'll only recover a fraction of what you laid out for it. I'd get a decent chair (you'll need somewhere comfy to work, even if you switched to a laptop) and use the...

Hi, welcome to the forum. It would help people to know what you want to use it for - gaming, any special software and so on? Also, what is your rough budget, does that include a acreen and if you have a screen, what resolution and refresh rate is it (or make and model if you don't know)?

I wonder, would you mind posting the laptop specs here, so others looking for a laptop could see what you picked?

True, could just be the sponsor the contest - I need to tighten that wording!

I had to devise and read out a puzzle for the radio today. They put the puzzle on their website (https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4MyyHRb7fh78GP1Q78sY71S/today-puzzle-671) today with the answers tomorrow, but I thought I'd treat you to an early view: Robin Hood is showing off his...

RDR2 is supposed to be fairly problematic on PCs (https://www.gamewatcher.com/news/red-dead-redemption-2-pc-performance-fix-fps-drops#) so I think you may find that laptop does even better on other titles.

You can't sell it on the forum, I'm afraid. I'd suggest Ebay or somewhere like Gumtree (it is location based, and selling long-distance is costly for one or both parties). Be prepared for a price drop though, like selling-on a new car but worse, because the car was specifically designed for your...
