build

Hi! Currently building a PC for someone, haven't done that in a long time so I'm a bit out of the loop hardware-wise. Looking for any kind of feedback on the following build. Was wondering a few particular things: 1) We went for a DDR5 build so they could upgrade it long term. Is it worth to...

My headset microphone is not detected when plugged into my monitor (which is connected to my GPU via HDMI). The output works perfectly fine. My microphone will work when I plug the headset directly into the audio/mic port in the front panel, though the monitor audio is much better, and I would...

Hi Guys Today I built my new pc and it kinda runs :) I did install Windows 10 (because I already had it on a drive) and after getting the drivers for Ethernet, I started updating Windows. Up to here everything worked perfectly fine. But during the installation of the Windows Updates the PC...

Hello fellow geeks and gamers! Way back in 2015, I pieced together a PC and it has held up pretty well with little upgrading. Now, however, I have a new AAA title I'd like to get in on, but won't be able to keep up. The old Diablo franchise is calling my name with 4 out now. I was uneducated...

Never had a PC before, let alone a gaming one & I was unwilling to just buy a prebuilt. Hence I have done up a build that I think is acceptable but I would appreciate some outside eyes on it. I largely intend to play strategic games such as Stellaris, Endless Space or Crusader Kings but I would...

Hi there, just installed a new RTX 3060 and i don't see much of an improvement in performance from my 1060. Thinking it's maybe the older motherboard/cpu and I did experience some lag and crashing when in the BIOS so could that be the issue? I've clean reinstalled drivers, CPU/Motherboard/RAM...

Hello everyone, so my friend with no experience in PC building asked me to build him a full PC setup for around 2000$. I came up with most of those things from the top of my head. Just done some additional research for current prices. But IMO, my knowledge is… let’s call it decent… So I do not...

Hey guys, I spent a lifetime building my own PC's and then spent a couple of years on a hiatus from hardcore gaming so haven't had a decent spec for a while. It's time to get a rig going again and I have started doing some research. So the question is whether I should be going BIG, or just big...
