I am thinking about buying a new rig that will do the streaming while my other pc does all the gaming, but I don't know where to start when it comes to picking out a CPU to do just the task. I am not sure if my leftover Ryzen 5 2600 can do just that because it doesn't have integrated graphics. I...

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum, so please excuse me if I may have missed something about the rules in the sticky posts. I am looking to build a new PC in the next few months and already prepared two possible builds - an AMD and an Intel build. Before I add anything to the cart I wanted to...

Hello folks, tried r/buildapc, but got only one input, so I had to come back back here as I know numerous helpers are around and vocal. I've had the same components for about 2-3 years as I built it during my early years of high school. They were good enough for me as I mainly only played...

All CPUs are priced the same in my country. Since Ryzen 3 3300X seems to be giving more gaming performance than R5 2600 despite having a lower core count. Will Ryzen 5 2600 ever beat it in a game of the future due to core count? Will 4c/8t CPUs be able to handle gaming let's say 2 years from...

So my cousin has been looking to build or at least get a gaming PC, currently he is running a system with Windows 7, a low powered AMD CPU with integrated graphics, and I can't even remember how low his ram is, long story short, it's not powerful, so I wanted to put together a parts list that is...

Hello! I'm looking at upgrading my pc in order to play some of the newer games that are out but also future proof a little more for me. Currently, one game interested in playing is COD: Warzone, but it keeps crashing and I assume it has to do with my hardware after updating settings, drivers...

I’m still using the old 22nm stock i7-4770k paired with a 1080ti which I’m pretty sure is holding me back. I definitely want to upgrade everything in my system except for maybe the gpu, but should I now upgrade to the new intel 10th gen, or wait for the AMD 4000 series in the fall? I also could...

Hi, My mobo/cpu died recently so im doing a mayor hardware change. Searching around forums I found that the best way is to do a fresh install of W10 when switching from intel to amd. However, I was using an ssd as a boot drive on my old build. If I reinstall W10 on this very drive does it mean...

I currently have a i7-4790K paired with a 2060 Super and I'm thinking about upgrading soon. I've never used an AMD CPU, but it looks like there is more value to them than Intel's chips right now--at least on paper. Is it better to invest in a more expensive Intel chip, knowing that new...
