Sim-Racing-PC

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm putting together a PC purely for sim racing, budget is around €3,000.

Planned components (excluding case) (with AI Help):

- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

- **CPU cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE

- **Motherboard:** ASUS TUF Gaming B850-Plus WIFI (ATX)

- **RAM:** 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-6000 CL30, G.Skill Flare X5

- **GPU:** MSI GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC, 16GB

- **SSD:** Samsung 990 Pro 1TB NVMe

- **PSU:** 850W be quiet!

**Question 1 – Case:** Looking for a **somewhat smaller mid-tower case**. Anyone have recommendations?

**Question 2 – Components in general:** Does this build make sense? Would appreciate any feedback/suggestions before I order.

Thanks!

* New build or upgrade? New build.

* Existing parts/monitors to reuse? BenQ 34" Curved monitor (already own it).

* PC purpose? Sim racing only. High to max settings, smooth framerates.

* Purchase country? Germany. Not near a Micro Center — buying from Mindfactory I guess.

* Monitors needed? no.

* Budget range? Around €3,000.

* WiFi or wired connection? Wired.

* Size/noise constraints? Looking for a somewhat smaller/compact mid-tower case that still fits a large air cooler and a 2.5–3 slot GPU without airflow compromises.

* Color/lighting preferences? no specific preference.

* Any other specific needs? Plenty of USB ports on the board for controller peripherals without needing a hub.

Migrating from Console to PC, First time build.

2 Upvotes

New build or upgrade?
New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Starting from scratch.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Gaming only, I want to get back into WoW but would love to play, with mods and at high settings, Cyberpunk 2077 and potentially VR games.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
United States, seems like the Tustin Micro Center is closest to me.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
1 monitor, I sadly don't have the space for more. 27" is the smallest I want to go. 4K, 240hz

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around $2,500–$4,500 USD. I have only used Apple (and still will for work~) and consoles so don't even know how much this is going to cost me. :(

WiFi or wired connection?
Both if possible.

Size/noise constraints?
I would prefer something quieter if possible.

Color/lighting preferences?
I am open to anything. I like both silver, translucent/clear/acrylic, and black and am open to color lights especially if they can be added after. Dream would be a borg cube or something haha but black or silver is fine.

Any other specific needs?
Planning to dual boot Windows 11 and Linux down the line, I think so if I am understanding this correctly, having a single SSD might be best? Again, I am so new to this so I might be confused and wrong.

Thank you for reading all of this and thank you in advance.

3000 - 3600 Euro first gaming Pc build, inputs required.

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I plan on building my first pc ever by the years end. Here is my current pcpartpicker list: https://ie.pcpartpicker.com/list/xTBFK7 I had a few questions.

1: Whats the recommended GPU model I should go for for a 5080? does it make a difference?

  1. How big of a difference does CL30 vs CL36 for 32GB DDR5 RAM have?

Below is the the form for if you have a build or any parts you'd make changes to and added context. Thanks in advance.

  • New build or upgrade?

New build first time building a pc.

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

Already have a AW3225QF monitor and Logitech mx master 3s mouse.

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Primarily gaming, single player and competitive games so fps and graphic quality is important with some CAD work but just for college so nothing substantial.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

Ireland, likely using casting.de or amazon uk.

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

N/A

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Roughly 3000 initially but seeing prices these days happy to go for 3600 EURO

  • WiFi or wired connection?

Wired but would like wifi and bluetooth too

  • Size/noise constraints?

Ideally quiet if possible and for size nothing massive, it doesn't need to fit super specific constraints but ideally nothing huge if that makes sense.

  • Color/lighting preferences?

Nothing special, RGB customisability would be nice and maybe an lcd screen on the aio if price doesn't get impacted too much but not necessary.

  • Any other specific needs?

I do want to have an AIO as I like the visual of it.

I do plan on using ray tracing where it doesn't impact fps that much In single player games.

Looking for PC recommendations — $3K–$5K budget for gaming + game development/coding

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m looking to build or buy a new PC in the US and would appreciate some recommendations.

New build or upgrade?
New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
None. Starting from scratch.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Primarily gaming, coding/software development, and game development. I’m planning to work with engines like Unreal Engine and/or Unity and would like the PC to comfortably handle compiling, rendering, development workloads, and multitasking.

For gaming, I’d like to be able to play current and upcoming AAA games at high/max settings and have the build remain high-end for several years.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
United States.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Not currently included in the budget. I’m mainly looking for recommendations for the PC itself.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around $3,000–$5,000 USD, preferably closer to $3K–$4K if possible. $5,000 is my absolute maximum. I don’t want to spend extra money just for marginal performance improvements.

WiFi or wired connection?
Would like both WiFi and wired Ethernet capability.

Size/noise constraints?
No major size constraints. I’d prefer something reasonably quiet, but performance is more important.

Color/lighting preferences?
No strong preference. I care much more about performance and build quality than RGB/aesthetics.

Any other specific needs?
I’d like this to be a very powerful, relatively future-proof build that works equally well as a gaming PC and a workstation for coding/game development.

I’ve been looking at high-end GPUs such as the RTX 5090, but I’m not sure whether it makes sense at this budget/use case or if I’d be better off putting the money elsewhere in the build.

Would love to hear what you guys would build with this budget.

$2,000 USD PC for gaming and music production

2 Upvotes

New build or upgrade? New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? I have a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and headphones, so I do not need those.

PC purpose? Gaming, want to play all kinds of things like modded Skyrim, Fortnite, RDR2, Fable 2027, Cyberpunk, Gta5 (REALLY hoping it could handle Gta6 when that comes out for PC) and many other games. I also need it to produce music with FL studio.

Purchase country? USA

Monitors needed? No

Budget range? $2,000 including tax. $2,100 at most if its really worth it!

WiFi or wired connection? WiFi

Size/noise constraints? No

Color/lighting preferences? No RGB, I would like to put all my $ towards power, so the cheaper the case the better as I do not care for looks.

Any other specific needs? No.

I am 3 hours away from a microcenter, I would drive there IF it was worth it, but only if its truly worth it VS just ordering online. Thank you!

First time build, replacing a laptop from 2018

1 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm trying to build a PC for the first time and looking for some advice on where to even get started.

  • New Build/Upgrade?
    • New build
  • Existing parts/Monitors to reuse?
    • I'm hoping to ask around for parts from some friends, but I don't currently have anything locked in. Actually might use information received here to make a wishlist and spread out the cost over birthdays/xmas/etc.
    • I do have a monitor that is serviceable, but it may need to be replaced (see below). I got it secondhand and don't have a link to it (sorry), but I know it is an Acer model and maxes out at 1080p.
    • I already have a mouse and headphones, no need to replace them.
  • PC Purpose?
    • Gaming. I care about framerate much more than I do about crazy resolutions, and I want to be able to listen to YouTube videos while I'm gaming without it impacting performance too much. My laptop used to be able to run Jedi: Fallen Order, but now it can't even do that (no idea what changed :/ ); would very much like to be able to play that again and finally check out the sequel. Currently, my machine even struggles to run something as simple as Restory. Please let me know if you need other game examples for what I'm hoping to be able to run.
  • Purchase Country/Near Microcenter?
    • Canada, so not near a Micro Center
  • Monitors Needed?
    • Yes. I have a monitor, but it is fairly out of date; currently using it as a secondary monitor for my laptop, it works fine enough for that. May continue using it as a secondary monitor for this new build, and get a better monitor for primary usage if the budget allows.
  • Budget Range?
    • $1500-$2000 CAD (Tax here is 11%, even on stuff ordered online)
  • WiFi or Wired Connection?
    • Wired is what I currently have (need Bluetooth compatibility), though WiFi is an option if necessary.
  • Size and Noise constraints?
    • I expect it to take up the amount of space a computer tower normally takes up, doesn't need to be especially small. Using it in a shared space, so minimal noise would be preferable.
  • Color/Lighting preferences?
    • I prefer darker colors, and would use RGB lighting if it was there, but honestly I'm not too picky about that kind of thing.
  • Any Other Needs?
    • Lots of RAM would be good for gaming and watching videos simultaneously, if my understanding is correct.
    • Minimum of 2 TB storage, and I want it to be all SSD.

Thanks for your time, folks. Cheers 😄

Editing suite - Adobe Premiere focused

1 Upvotes

Hello,
I'm moving from a Mac Pro (2019) with Final Cut to Adobe Creative, and migrating the editing projects to Premier Pro. I believe I'd best leaving Apple behind and building a PC for editing 4K/8k (potentially 12k) video footage, mainly using software like Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve via Blackmagic cameras.

Large libraries for TV series as well as feature films that deal with Virtual Production and greenscreen are part of the upcoming projects it will need to handle.

So that requires rendering, read and write speeds, exports to multiple formats, ingesting multiple codecs for multicam playback and more. I can elaborate if need be.

Colour grading will be minimal - that is outsourced for major projects. No 3D or CGI animations or visual effects are expected.

New build or upgrade? New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? None.

PC purpose? 4K/8K/12k Video Editing for multicam documentary, feature film and narrative TV utilizing volume production and greenscreen.

Purchase country? Canada

Monitors needed? N/A.

Budget range? ~ $9,000 (flexible depending on informed recommendations)

WiFi or wired connection? Either is fine.

Size/noise constraints? No constraints.

Color/lighting preferences? No preferences.

Any other specific needs? Handle BRaw footage from Blackmagic cams of 4k or higher across large libraries (100TB+) on GRaID drives.

Thank you all for any input

Hello! Need some help building a Steam Machine on steroids. Want the PC to be low profile (almost gaming console looking). This is the case I was considering (if you know of better options, that's cool!) https://a.co/d/06ypI9b7

* New build or upgrade? New

* Existing parts/monitors to reuse? I have a 1440p 144hz IPS monitor and an LG C1

* PC purpose? Gaming - want to be able to play GTAVI, Fable when it comes out at at least. Not sure if a 9070xt would be overkill

* Purchase country? USA 20 mins from MicroCenter

* Monitors needed? None, unless there's a really good deal out there

* Budget range? Prefer to keep it around $1,500 but can go up to $1,900 unless there is an absolute performance jump or future proof that would be worth spending extra.

* WiFi or wired connection? I plan to use both

* Size/noise constraints? Would prefer it not to sound like a jet engine as it will be in the living room

* Color/lighting preferences? As little RGB as possible

* Any other specific needs? I think I've laid out my needs, but feel free to ask additional questions!

Currently running on M4 Mac mini but can't use any graphics mods or map mods. I have been researching for a while and keep getting conflicting information on CPU/GPU requirements. Don't need latest and greatest. Want to be able to run in ultra or high settings without problems. Prefer Ryzen cpu and Nvidia GPU. Windows 11.
