PC build First timer

This isn't the place, we can only help on CPUK builds.

potent hull
#

ive added the tag

solid mason
#

ah

#

idk then kek

potent hull
#

plus i was planning on cyberpower but theyve stopped doing 30 series gaming pcs

#

like 3070s and that

solid mason
#

@short sun whats the rules on this

We've tweaked the rules slightly so DIY systems are allowed now, just not complete systems from other competitors

cp 2. Keep build conversations relevant.
This is the CyberPowerPC UK server, and where competition is healthy and welcome to have, please do not discuss purchasing systems from another supplier.

solid mason
#

ah sorry

#

okay

potent hull
#

ah really

solid mason
#

no you are fine

#

its just competitors

potent hull
#

ah yeh i was about to say

solid mason
#

alright so I don't know why you are going 3070

#

You can get much better price to performance

potent hull
#

what dyu suggest

solid mason
#

I actually suggest a 6800xt

#

You can budget towards that card

potent hull
#

really 6800xt is better then 3070?

solid mason
#

Don't fanboy nvidia - they are very anticonsumer

#

yes

#

amd is highly slept on

potent hull
#

i havent rlly looked into radeon gpus

potent hull
#

ok il look into it

solid mason
#

I'll give you a list

#

hang on there

#

hehah

potent hull
#

pls thanks lmao

solid mason
#

do you also want a cyberpower build?

#

or are you set on diy

potent hull
#

idm seeing both

#

lets see cyberpower first

#

and thanks!

solid mason
#

Turns out you can fit alot in this budget

#

wow the market has gotten alot better

#

holy shesus

potent hull
#

ooo pls lmk bro

solid mason
#

Ryzen 7 5800x3d RX 6950XT build with a really solid powersupply all be it only 750w but you have roughly 200w headroom apparantley

#

now let me spec together a cyberpower build

solid mason
#

You can buy them anyway you want though so thats fun

solid mason
potent hull
#

loool im also looking for 2tb storage and 32 gb ram

solid mason
#

Yeah its sufficient

solid mason
#

DDR4 is dirt cheap so

potent hull
#

wait u said earlier 6800 xt is better then 3070

solid mason
#

If you don't mind pushing a tiny bit over budget you are perfect

potent hull
#

buts its bit more expensive

solid mason
#

😄

#

better than a 4070

potent hull
#

dam wow thanks bro

#

but also a qs

#

uno the build ive made

#

is it still good

solid mason
#

You sent just the generic list rather than your build pcpartpicker/list link

#

you need to send over the link

potent hull
#

i think i have

#

at the top

solid mason
#

you need to send

potent hull
#

ohhh

solid mason
#

Thats the one I have made

potent hull
#

sorry here it is lmao

#

mb mb

solid mason
#

Ah going with the 13600k

potent hull
#

lmk what you think

solid mason
#

Yeah its solid but you might wanna go for a different cooler for a 13600k

potent hull
#

hmm alr what dyu suggest

limpid archBOT
#

cprgbglitch :tada: Congrats @potent hull, you levelled up to 5! :tada: cprgbglitch

solid mason
#

let me do up your list

potent hull
#

thank you bro

solid mason
#

32GB of ddr5 is a bit pricey

#

you showed some sticks that were very sub optimal

#

I would aim for 6000mhz

potent hull
#

should i just go for 16gb then

solid mason
#

Yeah I think this build is too pricey for the level of performance you are missing out

solid mason
#

Stick with DDR4 + AM4

#

No bottleneck with a 5800x3d

#

Better performance 100%

potent hull
#

will it be possible for u tmake the build

#

if its not much to ask for

#

im not a genius in building parts lmao

solid mason
#

The list?

potent hull
#

yep

#

like make improvements

#

or jus tell me what changes to make

#

so AM4

#

is that the motherboard?

solid mason
#

I would add like another £25 to budget and get an AK620

potent hull
#

whats an AK620 btw

solid mason
#

Cooler

potent hull
#

so this pc wont have any overheating issues and what not

#

would u say

#

if i get thata cooler

solid mason
#

I don't think it will have overheating issues anyways

potent hull
#

ah cause im only playing 1080p esports

#

so its not like id be stressing my system out

solid mason
#

1080p has more strain to the cpu

potent hull
#

rlly

solid mason
#

yeah

#

cause the gpu can sit back a bit more

potent hull
#

dam

solid mason
#

But that isn't a bad thing cause

#

your cpu is supposed to be hawt

potent hull
#

ah fairs fairs

#

thanks btw for this

solid mason
#

I think you peak at 80c

#

thats 20c headroom

potent hull
#

that wouldnt be a provlem tho

solid mason
#

Nope

potent hull
#

ah alr so no bottleneck whatsoever

#

if thats the case

#

its perfect

solid mason
#

5800x3d and 6950xt is a brilliant pairing

potent hull
#

Perfect then

solid mason
#

The only reason for nvidia is their creative suite advantage

#

but you are getting like 20% less performance same price so idk

potent hull
#

might as well get my moneys worth then tbh

solid mason
#

Do you know how to build a pc?

#

Shouldn't be too daunting

potent hull
#

im getting my cousins to come and help

#

one has experience

solid mason

potent hull
#

but i was thinking of getting prebuilt

solid mason
potent hull
#

but what the hell il go custom

#

im more scared about installing drivers

solid mason
#

Don't be

potent hull
#

i jus hope no issues take place

solid mason
#

but amd can be a pain in the ass

#

I think they fixed it all though

potent hull
#

what part would be a pain

solid mason
#

it wont brick your pc

potent hull
#

yeh ok ok

solid mason
potent hull
#

is it rlly commen

solid mason
#

I made it easy for you so you can just install adrenalin

solid mason
#

never experienced it with my older system

#

apparantley they fixed all of their issues now

potent hull
#

ah okay thats fine then

#

thank thank you bro

#

Big help fr!

solid mason
#

If you need any tech queries about building a pc, or anything let me know

#

you can just add me on discord if you need

potent hull
#

yes ofc ofc

#

yes ill add u just incase i get some issues

solid mason
#

I would also say if your cousin has experience with building computers you can show him the list

#

they might have something to say

potent hull
#

yeh i will

#

btw do i have to pre install the drivers before buildiing

solid mason
#

Ah no, the closest thing to that is a bios update

potent hull
#

ah okay thats a relief

solid mason
#

but you don't need to as the 5800x3d is out of the box compatible with the board I chose

#

atleast with ryzen 5000, might have to check that

#

just have a spare computer around with a usb stick

potent hull
#

ah alr thanks again bro!!

solid mason
#

Just for future reference

#

At the top is your cpu power

#

the big 24 pin connector is your motherboard power

#

some people forget the cpu power

solid mason
# solid mason

your motherboard will come with a manual I strongly suggest reading when building

solid mason
potent hull
#

@solid mason wait qs again sorry

#

would it be better to get 6700xt instead

#

as its cheaper
