My apologies! Here is a new link that should be set to public: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Zorphio/saved/VfG2mG Looking to spend under $1000, I already have peripherals and I was told that if I’ve purchased a copy of Windows in the past, that I won’t need to do that again. My first build...

Hello everyone! I built my very first PC about 5 years ago, then sold it and switched to console gaming shortly after. I’ve been missing PC gaming quite a bit recently and have decided to try building another one. I’m curious if this build would work for most modern AAA games running...

I'm looking for a motherboard between $100-$150 that is a Z97 (I heard those are the only ones you can OC.) The catch is that the motherboard MUST be on Amazon. I have credit to spend. I'm gonna be using an i74790K, GTX 970, Rosewill 650W PSU (I know it's bad but I didn't have th money for...

My Rose will is this:Rosewill Photon-650, PHOTON Series 650W Full Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS Gold Certified, Single +12V Rail, Intel 4th Gen CPU Ready, SLI & Crossfire Ready

Hi. I just bought a 650W PSU (Rosewill) and was too excited to ask around about my system's usage. I've been told not to trust PCPartPickers watt usage at the top. I want to know if I'm at FULL load. Everything is running at its maximum if a 650W will do. Here's my build. MSI GTX 970 Twin...

Should I get the i7 or i5? I'm going to be doing gaming, and that's about it. Are they the same or does the i7 pull ahead?

I've posted a few times previously about my work in progress build. I believe I'll have the money to get better stuff, so I've got a few questions. There are a lot of GTX 970s. Which one do you guys recommend for gaming? I'm not familiar with motherboards at all and am looking for a...

Hi again. I'm starting to worry if the i5 4440 can run todays games. Should I upgrade to something else? I don't want to spend more than $200(ish) on the CPU. Also, people keep saying the Z97 motherboards are good. I currently have an AsRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA 1150. Should I change...

Hi again. This is my final build for my first gaming PC. I just want to make sure everything will work with everything. I plan on playing Minecraft, DayZ, SMITE, LoL, and maybe some new releases such as FC4, or BFHardline. I will never run at "High" or "Ultra" settings. I assume I'll be on a...

I thought the graphics card is what made up most of the frame rate. I want a really solid framerate, 1080p. That's it. I won't be running at max settings on games. Maybe medium? Like I said, I'm not familiar with this stuff at all.

Hi. I'm building my first ever PC and am targeting $750 or lower. I'd like to get a GTX 970 in there, but I can't seem to do it without it being over $800. Here's a list of my current stuff (I'm new to this so some of the names might not be on point) CPU: AMD FX6300 Graphics Card: Gigabyte...
