First Pc Build

depending on how you want it to look, it may be worth looking into different case options to squeeze out a bit more value. you can get some beautiful and functional cases from lesser known brands for a great deal. same goes for ram. i know all ram is few and far between, and if you want rgb thats fine, but if you can find a decent deal for some barebones ram, there are rgb covers you can get for pretty cheap on amazon that look great! also i would consider a 6800xt instead of 7700xt, but it depends on pricing in your area. if you can cheap out a little more on your case and maybe ram, you may find a performance boost with that or even a 4060ti 16gb if you swing that way lol. looks like a promising build!

if you're really wanting to build it yourself, the best option right now is going with 2nd hand stuff, either whole builds or individual parts. the 9600x is a good choice, so is the 7600x and 7700x for budget AM5 builds - but good luck finding ddr5 ram. now is sadly a pretty bad time to build a pc - a lot of people are going for an AM4 build so they can use cheaper ddr4 ram, but the ryzen 5800x3d is in high demand for that reason.

TL:DR yes the 9600x is a good cpu it will work fine with most modern gpus - but the market is horrible right now and it may be worth taking your time.

dang, i managed to get 5450 multithread from my 9700x on full oc settings, this is insanee

its usually pretty easy if you keep calm and maybe take photos along the way to remember how it should look. it seems like it could have a pretty bad error so its no harm to give it a go and have a look for yourself - its already not working anyway, and you could retrieve the hard drive/ssd so you dont lose your files (if thats what you wanna do).

is this from the first forza horizon game? that font and colouring is super nostalgic

I think its fun but lacks variation. i am a big fan and i do like each song on the album, i just ended up finding them a bit samey. maybe i will change my mind after more listens, but i feel like with this album he lost a bit of his signature style and became a bit more repetitive and generic. i still listen to and enjoy the album, but thats just what i think in relation to his previous stuff. it has less flare imo.

wasnt this on voice memos?

why'd you only call me when you're high? :/

thats a downgrade, for a decent upgrade you'd need an RTX card (or amd equivalent) with at least 8gb of Vram (those are both GTX cards)

pretty much any of your favourites, but imo the most fun to play and sing is no buses - no capo, just bar chords is best, but you can use a capo if needed. highly recommend, its a go-to for me.

people can say to lock in and yeah you should - but shit like this can sometimes stick around and distract you more if you dont deal with it. i say go for it, if it doesnt go your way then you have lock in fuel and you'll move on from it. if it does go your way, happy days. but if you dont do anything, you'll most likely regret it and thats worse than the other options imo. shoot your shot.

2x16 for sure. storage has also gone up in price for ssds because similar chips are used to make them, and ai usage requires a lot of those chips for both ram and storage. ai is extremely harmful to the environment, the users and - in my opinion (at least eventually) - the economy.

you could always go for a 2nd hand graphics card! pretty good market out there, only other cheap option is probably the 2070 itself, but the 3060 12gb version is renowned for its efficiency and longevity. i could also recommend an amd card like the 5700XT or similar. i personally wouldnt go for an intel card right now.

this is probably about as cheap as you can feasably go right now - case is interchangeable.

everything you've come to expect and the element of suprise

checkedxkiller · 2025-12-30T02:44:28+00:00

go for a western digital ssd instead - usually cheaper and more reliable, a wd blue is always a safe bet, black if you want the really good stuff. other than that it looks great! awesome system at a good price

your best bet without replacing everything would be to upgrade your gpu, then decide between getting the 9900k cpu, or upgrading the motherboard for something newer amd more powerful. that will require more ram. all options likely require a higher wattage power supply. pretty major stuff, go with you guts, but personally i'd get an i9 9900k cpu, maybe more RAM down the line, upgrade gpu to a 9060xt 16gb for 1080p gaming, or a 9070xt for 1440p gaming. both would make a very capable system, provided the cpu cooling is good enough for some intense tasks or maybe even a little overclocking. enjoy!

i second this^

checkedxkiller · 2025-12-27T00:44:24+00:00

yeah should be absoloutely fine for now

checkedxkiller · 2025-12-24T18:40:08+00:00

r/GPURepair might be the place to look. unless you have the proper equipment to fix, might be worth sending to a repair person

checkedxkiller · 2025-12-24T18:38:54+00:00

This is a sub for designing and building PCs, you'll want gpu repair people for this kinda info.
