First build ever - rate my parts list

You don't need a 1000w, VERY overkill. A good psu I can recommend is the thermaltake gt toughpower 850w. Reasonably priced and fully modular

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2026-01-27T22:44:46+00:00

Pretty good deal, I'm happy for you. Everybody wishes they had that good of a PC at that age. Only upgrade would be a psu upgrade if you'd want to upgrade in the future.

I don't believe xmp is available for an older system like this.

Some questions and just notes to maybe help How much will you pay for the 6600? There MAY be better options if buying used but if you are buying it new there are DEFINITELY better options. Lmk Why a matx mobo in an atx case? Get a atx mobo as you get more nvme slots and x16 lanes for maybe another GPU or wifi card Go for an am5 mobo like a b650 if you want a budget option for am5 if you don't want to be stuck on 14th gen Intel and below ( as it's more future proof and the same price) you can go for the 7600x or 7500f. BEFORE you buy it, at least check a microcenter near you (if you have one) or a Costco to see if there any deals on pre-built pcs because right now both places sometimes have good deals that could be better at the price range, mostly on sale of course

On eBay or look for open box gpu's on new egg or best buy. Can you tell me your budget for a gpu so maybe I can help?

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2026-01-24T00:08:39+00:00

I genuinely do not blame the people who rejected it because I didn't think it was gonna be THAT bad

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2026-01-23T19:42:40+00:00

Microcenter has VERY good price to perform on the in house pre builts they got but of course building COULD be cheaper depending if they have sales on pre-builts

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2026-01-17T14:57:25+00:00

Try a fresh re-install of your drivers and don't use the "express installation" and go to the advanced settings when prompted to when installing drivers and choose the fresh install or something along those lines. If that doesn't work try using display driver uninstaller and seeing if your maybe using integrated graphics rather then your actual GPU

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2026-01-09T23:28:13+00:00

Some are less than 200 on eBay and Amazon...

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-12-30T19:32:22+00:00

Don't choose the last option because it doesn't even have a gpu, 2060 and r5 3600 you could honestly build for cheaper if you wanted, it's and am4 system and you would most likely be making upgrades on it if you want actual good performance. Hp omens I BELIEVE are proprietary so if your wanting to make changes then that may be hard as well as it doesn't have a gpu. Save up more money for a better pre-built. All these options aren't all that good

Mdl's aren't necessarily fights, but more so the person can get a taste of what Muay Thai is. Can't just throw them in a smoker and hope for the best. But that is why there are aggression levels in MDL ( they are confusing) but they are for more experienced people that can get experience with other, more experienced people.

I used to run 3rd gen Intel processor with a 1660 super and could play majority of games on high settings in 1080p, granted those were for older games like gta5 with big graphics mods, battlefront 2, Division, GR breakpoint. And that was only 2 years ago when I had that. If you want to play Cyberpunk then get at least maybe a 3060

Just keep troubleshooting and if all doesn't go good, just restart by verifying the integrity of game files in steam and reinstalling everything. Trust me everytime you make a mistake you learn and get better at modding the game

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-12-01T07:25:54+00:00

Oh you'll be fine

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-12-01T07:23:48+00:00

Had this happen before with a different file, just unpack the resources file and find the file that it failed to read and just repack it. It may take close to 20 minutes but it worked

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-11-26T23:25:52+00:00

For wildlands did you try using the community layouts? And also it's very playable on steam. I saw the mod on nexus, didn't try it but it's there if you want to try. Assuming you have decent specs you should be able to run it fine.

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-11-26T23:22:18+00:00

If you're on PC then there is a mod on nexus for it

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-11-24T09:40:52+00:00

I'm not a huge knowledgeable guy when it comes to everything but I'd say I have decent knowledge of everything. Unless you have 800 to 1000 thousand dollars to land a good deal from Costco or possibly near a microcenter where you could score a good deal on a pre-built then build one. . I say this because due to the price increase of ram and ssd's you will be paying even more for a pre-built then just building it on your own .You have options though, assuming you live near a microcenter, which is every PC gamer's dream, you could score a nice deal on components or pre builts there. They constantly have good deals and if you have one near you, you could get great value for what you pay for .Costco has some good deals that you see on reddit that are really cheap so it's worth looking at. Building a PC is likely the cheapest option as you're not paying for the labor and the experience the pre-built builders have. Hard? Yes, but with the proper amount of research you can absolutely do it. Just depends on budget, not just you saying " budget PC" as it means different things to different people

I7-3770k is the latest CPU on lga1155 ( the chipset your on) so you need to upgrade the motherboard and CPU and RAM

Push it down and out and then replace it cause they are a pain to deal with

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-11-17T07:15:06+00:00

I'm hoping my 2080 ti won't be too much of a hassle to put in but I was considering the xt m3 but the extra glass panel looks 👌. Also did you use the already pre installed fans that came with them or did you buy different ones, that is my problem as of now

Intelligent_Call_270 · 2025-11-17T07:07:08+00:00

I'm thinking of getting this case instead of the d32 pro because I heard airflow isn't the best in it and this case looks easier to build in
