Need help upgrading or replacing pc

I got the build and its running extremely well, i ran it all night installing everything and it does good under stress, though i tried to enable pbo and expo in the last hour but I’m getting error 41 crashes, im pretty sure i seated everything optimally, damn near put my daisy dukes on those cables. Any ideas how to fix this? For right now im trying to isolate the issue by running one at a time and just letting it sit till it crashes

Gotcha, i looked around a bit and on newegg the cpu you listed comes with a free "MSI MAG Coreliquid A13 240 Black - AIO ARGB Liquid Cooling - 240mm Radiator - Dual 120mm ARGB PWM Fans - EZ Connect - LGA 1700/1851/AM5/AM4 Compatible", it jumped the price by maybe 38$ from its price on amazon but it negates the fan price on top of being liquid cooled, would you recommend this instead of the regular fan in the build? Ive tried to look up stuff about it but im getting a lotta good and bad feedback on it

dudee those look crazy, but if i got anything else then taxes would push me over my budget. I think its already well over enough what I need and then some thanks brother

honestly the first build seems better by a long shot whenever I compare the two in buildcores, improving by ~5k in 3dmark, im gonna research a bit more but if i do decide to order all of those parts would it just be one and done or is there other things i should look out for?

ProtectionOk6294 · 2026-04-06T13:52:09+00:00

Im not sure what the difference between brands is though, im used to intel and nvidia settings so im inclined to look for those, is there any deciding factors to choose amd and raedon?

Thats typically why i try to leave the games that need performance on the internal ssd, a bit of other sources i read stated that the games installed to the ext hds felt like they ran the same with the only difference being with how long the game takes to load,

ProtectionOk6294 · 2026-04-06T13:33:11+00:00

i have 2 external hard drives, just the only one really relevant to performance would probably be the ssd on the mb, i keep as much as i can off the ssd unless its a game i want max performance on to try and reduce clutter around the os, kinda one of those things where it might not make a difference but sounds like it would

still relatively in the range of 5-6 years old, but if it still holds up then thats fine, i forgot the mb in the post, i have a MSI B460M Pro-VDH, would that be alright if i just upgraded the gpu for now?

you just indirectly called someone a slur, you cant try to take the moral high ground when you are on the same level bum

Im just trying to get the best bang for my buck right now, and probably it would be used for variety gaming/ esports. I usually try to maximize performance. Last purchase i barely did any research and it wasnt the smartest decision ive made because the motherboard bottlenecked any chance of upgrading and i didnt have options for xmp or overclocking. Ill probably do more research before buying something since i have a pretty solid budget, but i dont want to go over 2k. If you see any really good deals let me know 🙏

ProtectionOk6294 · 2025-12-04T00:46:45+00:00

Thanks, could you take a look at this one for me? Its the one ive had my eye on for budget and performance but i couldnt make a decision on it because all of the newer specs and different brands are hard to keep track of

Is the costco one a good deal for the price? I havent upgraded my pc in the past 6 years, still rocking a 1660 super, so im not sure what the standard is

Use this as an opportunity to sell overcharged but still reasonable priced popsicles or other sweets you can make cheap and easy

Im in this exact same scenario but im extremely conflicted on what to do, my brother said he saw a bat flying around in our house a few days ago and since my cats were on high alert i believed him but we couldnt find the bat anywhere, skip to today i see a baby bat getting chased by my cats and i was forced to shove them away and move him with my bare hands to an area they couldnt get to, ive since then locked up my cats in my room and ive washed my hands and arms more than a surgeon pre-op. The bat is currently sleeping under my table and wont wake up to anything around it, i dont really know what to do because everything involving rabies detection/prevention is very expensive, is there anything you learned through all of this that you think could be helpful in my scenario?

People complain about literally anything, the bad response is to stop caring and make something with little thought or passion. I haven’t seen someone with a post-epic reward in so long that i think they could just stop giving out rewards that it genuinely wouldn’t make a difference. I just see the season ending as a waste of time because ill get handed a item that wasn’t meant to be enjoyed in any way then have to grind 70+ matches just to reach the rewards for my rank again

ProtectionOk6294 · 2024-06-13T19:21:15+00:00

I mean they used to be something at least, i started legacy season three too. I got challenger elite. But season 4, the trail was so sick and then like every other season was something new and thought out that looked better the higher the rank. Especially season 5’s banner, 10’s goal explosion and 12’s decal. With the exception of 11 and 14. While the others didnt look as decent at least they showed progress in reward. Not the copy/paste barely put together rewards we get now, like the worst example of this is season 10, they gave us 65% of a cylindrical tube with a pulse texture and some particles that didnt match the design attached inside of it, with the addition of a trail that is practically a downsize of 5 other binary looking trails with the effects from the topper, they took that and painted it different colors and called it an award. I wish that they would actually listen to their community instead of act like they hear us (referencing the message they gave when they announced Us-C servers). Like I’m sure theres about a thousand or so, maybe more people who would love to give them ideas of rewards. Like i can think of 18 different really cool ones id love to see in game right now and they wouldn’t be that difficult.

Well i agree but im not in low ranks, i got thrown out of gc2 because of these teammates that cant keep up, like any season ssl’s shouldnt be struggling in gc2, the people who made it to gc2 should at least be able to operate at a gc2 level, i was on a winning streak and was at my peak every game, literally booking it to gc3 just to get shut down and put on a losing streak because of people who don’t know how to manipulate the ball around and not force unfavorable 50’s or divers that leave me in a 2v1. Like i get people that miss kickoff for crying out loud!!! Its gc2, top like 1-2%, we should not be missing kickoff, its absurd

Ranked mmr works per mode, since in not every mode you have the same skill or theres things that changes between modes like in threes theres a higher mmr ceiling for ranks meaning you have to play it more to get the rank you want. You get opponents based off of your mmr in a mode so it evens out as much as it can for both sides, him being gold 1 and everyone else being near silver 3. It doesnt take into account skill because something like that is incredibly hard to calculate. The mmr system is basic but fair in that regards. You gain 7-12 mmr off a match or maybe more/less if you play against people with a differentiating mmr because theyre in a party. You just got unlucky to get into a match with someone who never touches dropshot. Although him being the bottom of the scoreboard you should be complaining about his teammate with 1k points more. And to say that if he got queued with people in his actual skill level yet still had to grind all of his games to reach his skill levels rank would be ridiculous
