    Build Complete Rate this system! Any final input or suggestions to this build for my friend's PC? 1440p $2k(ish) AUD budget

    Just put this together after looking through some suggestions from an earlier post and other forums. Friend is happy with that price, but just seeing if anything should be changed for compatibility reasons or other. Main use will be 1440p gaming with the ability to play some newer release games...

    Build Advice PC Build - 1440p capable for $2000ish (AUD) ?

    Hey guys, been out of the game for a while now. My mate has asked me to build him a PC for around the 2k AUD price range, but I haven't been in touch with recent hardware for a little. His old PC is currently blue screening randomly and is pretty old, so due for an upgrade. He mainly plays...

    [SOLVED] 5800x no boot, solid red VGA status LED.

    If you're referring to the bottom left corner of the motherboard where it says 'REV 1.0' then yeah thats it. I am not sure as I don't have another AMD cpu on hand to be able to try that, which sucks big time. You know what actually.... I might have used a b550m BIOS update instead of the...

    [SOLVED] 5800x no boot, solid red VGA status LED.

    Hey all, am building a pc with the 5800x and I can't seem to get a post or any display at all. There is a solid red VGA light on the LED status which blinks to cpu and then dram and repeats the process. Heres a video of it. View: https://imgur.com/a/eQtRxUV I flashed the BIOS correctly, the...

    [SOLVED] Hit a bit of a dilemma during monitor choice with AMD/Nvidia GPU decision

    I've just realised that this monitor has AMD Free-sync and G-sync compatible. Silly me, thought it was G-sync only. All good, disregard this!

    [SOLVED] Hit a bit of a dilemma during monitor choice with AMD/Nvidia GPU decision

    Hey guys, im building a new pc, I'm getting a 5900x (when available, hopefully snag one in 13 hours time?) and I pre-ordered a 3080 a few weeks ago, only to be informed last week that this card probably wont be in until early 2021. So at this point I've decided to wait until the 18th for the...

    [SOLVED] Building a PC for my friend, 3080 + Zen 3 if possible

    [SOLVED] Building a PC for my friend, 3080 + Zen 3 if possible

    I've updated the part list, what are your thoughts now? We've been informed we most likely wont be receiving our pre-ordered 3080 until early 2021, so if we can get our hands on a Radeon 6800xt we will be going with that instead. Fingers crossed we get our hands on the 5900x and the 6800xt with...

    [SOLVED] Building a PC for my friend, 3080 + Zen 3 if possible

    Appreciate the informative response! Ill take it on board and get back to you once a few adjustments have been made. Also just realised I have to opt for the Be Quiet Dark Rock Slim cooler as the 4 is too big and interferes with the ram slots, I know this as I have one myself, and considering...

    This the one you're referring to? https://www.pccasegear.com/products/50514/asus-rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-wi-fi-motherboard#gallery-1 Could be a good choice, saves some money when really we aren't too focused on many other features of the board apart from PCI-E 4.0, NVME slot and enough fan...

    [SOLVED] Building a PC for my friend, 3080 + Zen 3 if possible

    I figured I haven't used a nvme drive yet, and figured they are probably worth it just for a boot drive alone. Which is why I got that and a 1tb just for games and everything else. Seeings as his build is crazy, we may as well chuck in an nvme to complete it haha. Also if we can't get our hands...
