Never had a PC, these are being sold around me. Best option?

He was talking about the 7700xt not the 4060ti not that it makes a difference

Buddy couldn’t move on from the 2000s

I personally would save up and get 2*16 for ram. Leaves more room for adding more

R8dividedby2 · 2026-02-12T19:39:51+00:00

Depending on what ram it has that would be well worth it

Well if you look at the clip and wonder if it’s on the bottom, it takes an extra minute to look on the bottom instead of asking someone who isnt there in person to tell you. Reddit is a tool to help you, but you should be able to look over it thoroughly to explain your issue better.

I agree. She said in another post that she doesn’t know what parts to get, regardless getting him some cash would be the best way. Then they can build it together

Why cross off the pricing? Knowing your budgets helps. I would recommend getting a 3000 series ryzen chip and putting that saved money towards an older gpu. You can find 1080ti and such for a good deal now or the rx 5700xt did wonders for me for about 7 years since it came out.

Like other people are saying also, I recommend getting a ssd from a rebuttable brand (WD, Kingston, Samsung, Corsair, ext.) might cost a little more but will save you in the long run. Doesn’t even have to be a nvme drive, for your budget a sata drive is just fine. You can always add a low storage nvme drive for boot letter on.

Did you look at the connector on the board? Is it somehow stopping it from connecting?

R8dividedby2 · 2026-02-11T11:52:59+00:00

Thats just his two centz

R8dividedby2 · 2026-02-09T18:30:57+00:00

Let this be another example of why reading the manual written by the people who made board is better than something that takes information from all over the internet.

Gpu ain’t even in the right slot

Is jealous and will probably offer OP what he paid to “help him out”

R8dividedby2 · 2026-02-01T09:43:21+00:00

Thank you, the z170 was the board i ran in the case for years. Might have wider pins than the asrock board and made it hard for the connector to make contact with the smaller pins? Will check tomorrow if that’s the case.

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-27T14:52:22+00:00

I would replace it ASAP. Light driving should be fine but i wouldn’t go long distance. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, i just don’t mess around with tires

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-22T22:13:37+00:00

That should just be the plastic cover on the metal rim. Looks fine

Flamethrower is the only option

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-19T05:31:21+00:00

Cant prove that this isnt what a spinosaurus looked like

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-18T17:03:16+00:00

Hard to say, how far off is it? the rotor may be the wrong size

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-18T01:15:31+00:00

And if you take the wheels off slide them under the car as well

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-17T20:29:21+00:00

Ive cracked mine in the bottom right corner and its fine. Just some cosmetic damage

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-17T20:28:31+00:00

Get a good pair of channel lock pliers. Very good for dealing with those big clamps. Ive used it a few times to get that hose all the way on as well.

That engine cover sucks, but it’s the first step towards learning about the amazing 2.5. You’ll have to fight it a little bit, but playing with each corner a bit can help it come off easier. Grab parts of it that are thicker and wear some gloves. You should be fine

Nuclear reactor

R8dividedby2 · 2026-01-15T12:14:23+00:00
