    New PC build => is it sound?

    -> Thanks for bringing that case issue. I don't need a lot of usb ports usually so I'll start like that, but I'll have to buy a case then. That'll do at first. -> Mmmmh, didn't check the differences in cooling power, i assumed they were quite similar (for no good reason). After a little research...

    New PC build => is it sound?

    Hi everyone, https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KzCJXP I plan to make this system as a new PC. It is already topping my budget which was 900-1000. I already have plenty of storage available so I don't need to get one now (maybe later but I have time). CPU: intel core i5-9600K CPU Cooler: Be Quiet...

    [OBSOLETE ]First custom pc for occasional gaming => is it an okay one?

    As I said: I already have storage. I asked why SSD is better than HDD and it appears that nothing of what it does better has any significance to me.

    [OBSOLETE ]First custom pc for occasional gaming => is it an okay one?

    Okay, so that's not something necessary. I don't spend my time opening and closing stuff, I don't want to cut on the other components just to load windows faster. I'm just started getting old too, so I will be bottlenecking the responsiveness of the computer anyways hahaha!

    [OBSOLETE ]First custom pc for occasional gaming => is it an okay one?

    I'm from France, so I don't necessarily get the same prices as in the US. Why is not getting an SSD wasting my upgrade? It's so expensive! I watched a few things, and it seems that gaming on SSD rather than HDD has no (or negligible) effect on FPS, and only helps for loading speed. It just...

    Monitor is just GVA no signal

    Do you have a graphics card? If yes: -> Check you plugged the screen on the outputs of the graphics card and not the motherboard. Also check the cable is correctly plugged in the back of the screen. -> check the graphics card is correctly plugged in its slot If that didn't work: -> Cry -> Wait...

    [OBSOLETE ]First custom pc for occasional gaming => is it an okay one?

    Hi everyone, So it's time for me to get a new pc (the last one died and was a 2011 laptop). I decided I wanted to be able to play some recent games, and don't have an immense budget so I settle for a custom config I will assemble myself. I never did before but I'm patient and looking forward to...
