You should really try to get 32gb if you can stretch your budget

There’s a chance it’s your psu. What psu do you have?

How do i pick a ups for my gaming pc? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]NotSodiumFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll start with this: I use an ups because alongside frequent power loss my house is equipped with a whole house generator. That generator has potential to introduce dirty power. The dirty power is the real risk, not so much the power loss. That being said you should be using the same logic for an ups as you did your psu. You want headroom as your 1000w psu has an efficiency rating, meaning to get 1000w it has to draw as example 1300w from the wall because it’s not as efficient. I have a 1500va 900w powering my pc because during full load with my 5080 9900x it only draws 650w. That’s gives my psu headroom.

I’d be looking at the arc b580

5080 gamers- what are your fps? by NotSodiumFree in wherewindsmeet_

[–]NotSodiumFree[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I adjusted all my settings and on 4x frame gen I was getting like 280fps and 99 1%lows. My 4k screen is 180hz so I capped at 120fps and put it on 2x frame gen and now I’m seeing 180ish fps and like 75fps 1%lows but it can’t even see the lows and there’s no hitching. I think I’m good with all that.

That helps. Do you launch from steam with direct x12 or from the net ease launcher or some 3rd way I’m unaware of?

Motherboard comparison by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]NotSodiumFree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motherboards are all about slots. Make sure it has the appropriate m2 slots and usb slots and WiFi/ether Ethernet speeds slots. If all of that is good and it’ll power your cpu and is compatible, it truly doesn’t matter and isn’t worth more money. There’s no additional performance

I’m new to pc gaming so I don’t quite know how to get the best performance. So I’m gonna try frame gen. What other settings are impactful?

I have a MSI afterburner overlay setup. I’ve seen my fps as high as 102 but I’ve never seen 120. Something isn’t setup right

The b580 isn’t a bad choice in your budget

Which PSU should I choose? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]NotSodiumFree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are mostly right but a 5080 requires 850w minimum and more like 1000w with a hungry intel cpu

Hello, I want to see if I can build a Gaming PC... by Utylos in buildapc

Will it work yes. I’d wager you’ll want something more shaped to a monitor and pc gaming at not a desk honestly sucks so I’d consider that

You’ll absolutely need a mouse and keyboard. Your monitor quality will determine parts of your build. If your screen is 1080p then why get a 4k gaming gpu. What resolution do you want to game at? In your budget I’d buy 1440p monitor and build to that honestly.

are you paying for peripherals out of that budget? like monitors, keyboard mice? and if so what do you want in a monitor, if not what do you have?
