Beginner build

I'm putting together a new build for a family member this holiday and I was wondering if anyone sees anything wrong with this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PeskyEye/saved/#view=Lv8TrH Don't mind the lack of case and stuff, I just need to a second opinion on if the system would be good for a...

Hello everyone, sorry for the lengthy question. I built my first PC, and it worked for 30 minutes, then it stopped. I was installing updates and thought to do the BIOS update as well, and that's where everything stopped. Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse have no power or light on them coming from the...

Hello! I am wondering if there any affordable PC options (under $500) that my son could play Fortnite on? He does have an xbox but seems to prefer to play with a keyboard. He does have a nice gaming keyboard and headset but no PC. He seems to think he can play on a regular pre-owned laptop but I...

I'm an average pc builder at best, can anyone put high end builds together for me with parts and a place to get it built? I'm in Australia if that makes it easier for suggesting a build. RGB if possible please.

Hi there, I'm a very new bc builder, as in this is my first ever build. I followed the numerous videos online, but still, the system will not start properly. However, the fans seem to run. There are a few problems: 1) I can't turn the computer off, only on. The power button on the case does...

So my mobo only has 2 fan headers. 1 is for my cpu but I still got 3 more fans to go. the stock fans i got has a molex socket in the middle and ends in a 3-pin. This might sound stupid but can I connect the 3 fans through their molex sockets back to back (like the human centipede) and then plug...

I am having trouble researching this online to match my exact case. I am getting a "No video output" case on my Asus H110M-K D3 motherboard. I tried everything here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/perform-these-steps-before-posting-about-post-boot-no-video-problems.1285536/ and...

So, the topic of ssds has been stumping me. I can't grasp the how and why of ssds. So, do I HAVE to install windows onto the ssd for it to be functional, or is it just a regular thing to do. Can I just install my ssd, then boot up my computer like normal, and if I do will it work, or will it do...

Hello everyone, I built my first PC a few months ago and loved the challenge and everything involved with it. Now my friend wants to get into PC gaming but wants to start out with a $500 budget for the PC, can anyone recommend me components? I'm thinking about an RX 570/580 and a Ryzen 2200G...

My son (he's 9!) and I are building our first computer together. I've read a few articles and read over the specs on the parts that we've chosen, but am a bit nervous about pulling the trigger since it is our first build, and the first I've put together in 20 years. If anyone has the interest...

First time builder here and I need a place to get some confirmation that I’m planning a decent build. Link to my planned build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xTGMHh My budget is around 750 usd I want to know if I’m headed in the right direction with this build? Is the Ryzen 5 1600 a solid CPU...

Hi internet My parents' laptop was getting really slow, so i decided to re-install Windows. When they bought it, it had Windows 7, so i thought that it would be a good idea to upgrade to Windows 8.1. When we booted the laptop up however, we had an error (which i don't really remember) and we...
