#This is my PC build idea. Does it seem fine?

- since ur in finland, definitely check prices on national comparison sites. pcpp is great to check compatibility, but they often miss a lot of offers.
a lot of times u find stuff up to 30% cheaper or pcpp sais a product is not available while there are multiple shops that have it. - i guess ur on a 1080p 120-240Hz monitor?
- how tight is your budget/would you be comfortable spending ~200€ more to be set until at least 2028, if not 2030?
- just right now, u can save ~10€ by going with a teamgroup MP33 NVME, and u can most likely save 10-30€ on the case with basically only the asthetics changing, depending on whats available in finland.
- do u actually need a b550? i will skip am5 and will not upgrade from my b450 board.
could save anotehr 20+ €
same principal, use estonian national comparison sites
outside of canada and USA its always worth checking
if u can, waiting until february will definitely pay off, since right now prices are high due to christmas and thanksgiving and there is so much CPUs and GPUs that will be released on the CES, which is early january
~2 weeks after that prices will have plummitted for all those "old" parts
should be fine but often comes with big delivery costs
used markets for GPUs is great
i mean u could also get a used GPU and put it in your old system and get the rest next year
how long have u been using the GPU u have the problems with?
u have a friend that has a GPu just to test if thats the problem?
try to ask around, maybe there are estonian PC forums or discord servers, someone with a test bench might be not that far away and u can test every component
understandable
just saying i wouldnt be surprised if u wait until after CES u get the same parts at least 20% cheaper
if ur lucky u might get below 500€
if ur thinking about upgrading ur current system, u should confirm all the other parts are working 😄
as i said, if u know all the other parts are good, u can get a GPU
and then buy the rest after CES
all good
im also planning and asking people. we are always happy to share knowledge 😊
oktober/november is just always the worst time to buy pc parts
CES. so january and february are where rpices plummit the most
then june-august they are lowest
and then increase again due to holidays
which is where we are eright now
and also look for any reoccuring habits of ur pc crashing
my old pc was always crashing when just 1 CPU core was used
so i just always had some game open i nthe background so it doesnt crash
had like 800 hours ina free2play shooter that i maybe actually played 10 hours myself xD
yes
mine still has stock paste and its 5 years old now
but temps usually dont cause a pc to crash like yours did
im far from a troubleshooting expert
but it might be anything
maybe u can also find a PC store that can offer testing for just a few bucks
always depends, in every country
there are always ppl who want to scam u and nice guys
if u present urself knowledgeable that will always help
so they know they cant get away with everything
u could even say something like ur waiting for prices to drop due to CES and want to check what parts are failing
to save money overall
that will already tell ur not new to the topic
also ask for a price upfront
dont come with ur pc, just say u have one at home, tell that CES story and ask how much it costs to check ur parts
(and describe what your issue is ofc) xD
also a lot of the "scammers" might not really try to scam but just take the opportunity if it arises.
sometimes ur dishwasher or car breaks and u have to deal with a lot of costs u were never planning to have and in such a situation many people if they know they have an unknowledgable customer would try to sell more than the customer needs.
especially in these cases when u make clear what service u want and not be open to all of what they offer, they will be much less liekly to sell u something u made clear upfront u dont want
u should add that to the trouble shooting post
have you used DDU yet?
idk actually
was less about the up to date but making sure they were isntalled correctly
no corrupted files or anything
as i said, i have next to no knowledge abotu troubleshooting.
lets hope u get an answer soon
