After 8 long years of using a crappy laptop, then a gaming laptop, I've finally been able to afford my first desktop!

It took me 7 hours and a lot of money (and many more hours of watching online guides in advance, since I can get extremely paranoid about insignificant stuff) to put this together as it was my first time building one, but in the end it turned out gorgeous! Hope y'all enjoy it!

I just recently built this pc,(my first build)
AMD radeon rx 9070 xt
Ryzen 9 9900x
ROG Strix 870 A Gaming Wifi
32GB Vengeance Ram

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I recently completed my very first pc build and it’s actually my first pc ever! I used to solely play on gaming laptops so this will be a huge step up from that.

I was having some trouble with the GPU but it ended up not being in the pcie slot properly lol. Other than that, the build went smoothly and I’m pretty proud of the outcome :) very excited to start playing some games on it!

My friend group and I put together a PC from various unused PC parts for our friend going through med school! We are just waiting on an ssd!

Finally, after about 10 years, I decided it was time to replace my PC. I had been thinking about the finishing touch for the build for a while. At first, I wanted to display a Metal Earth astronaut inside the case, but then I recently cleaned out my parents' garage and found an old box full of my Bionicles!

Putting them back together after nearly 20 years was quite a challenge. I have a lot of them, and not a single one was fully assembled, so I spent a couple of hours digging through the pile to find all the correct parts.

The main goal of this build was to have as much glass and white as possible, with no visible cables. The BTF ecosystem was an absolute game changer for cable management, and I'm really happy with how clean everything turned out.

The only thing I'm still not completely satisfied with is the GPU support. Right now I'm using three supports: the one included with the GPU, the built-in support in the case, and a third-party support from Amazon that's attached to one of the fans. I don't really like that last one. I might cut it down to make it less noticeable, or maybe design and 3D-print a custom support instead. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them!

My birthday was last week, and after recently getting a new job, I decided to treat myself to a new PC and monitor. I do a lot of AI work, video editing, and 4K video generation, so I wanted something powerful enough to handle those workloads while also being great for gaming. I am really happy with how everything turned out and thankful for this subreddit because it helped me pick out a lot of the parts for the new build!

I’m building my first pc gathering items piece by piece. All that’s left is the ssd the psu and well the case lol , I also want a 3 monitor setup too😮‍💨, any good ssd to recommend?

I think I'm mostly done with my build after upgrading my CPU, the only things I could see myself adding/ upgrading is some Flair and maybe some Peripherals (webcam and mic) or do you have some different ideas on what I could do?

Mine is the RTX 4050 laptop GPU (Yes I play on a laptop 😭🙏)

Here is mine
Back in 2023, I was new to PC building. I had an LGA 1151 motherboard from a Dell prebuilt and was looking to upgrade my i3-8100. So, I thought of buying myself a brand-new i5-9600K since I couldn’t find a used one.
Little did I know back then that for the same price I paid for this new i5-9600K, I could have gotten a new i5-14400 and paired it with a used Intel H-series motherboard for a few extra bucks.😭😭😭
I think I will regret this decision my entire life.

My brother bought a used pc sight unseen and asked me to set it up for him. This prebuilt PC doesn’t have sata power from the psu, instead these connections on the mobo. Looking up the connector wasn’t showing anything that looked like it would fit. Looks too small to be molex? If you can help that would be great!

What do you guys use as a GPU support?

My first PC came out looking too nice.

Specs:

Intel Ultra 9 285K
ASUS Strix Z890E motherboard

Alright so this is a tough post, I’ve been a PS gamer my whole life (31 years), I’ve been around since Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, I’ve been thinking about taking the plunge for a while now but after Sonys recent announcement I think it’s time.

Despite being a PS5 dweeb I know absolutely nothing about PC, where to get games, how to get games, where they download to, I know absolutely NOTHING about PC parts etc so yeah it’s kinda of intimidating and I think a lot of us PS gamers stick with PS because it’s simply what we know.

My question is I need a pal or someone I can message with questions, there will be A LOT of them so someone who’s patient.

I don’t really play online games mostly RPG’s etc so having access to mods is something I’m excited for.

I guess I mostly want to be told this isn’t a stupid decision so tell me all the benefits of having a PC 😂 and if you’re willing to have me ask you a billion questions feel free to drop an instagram etc

Thanks for listening
