    Is this gonna be a good gaming computer at the price (1019 eur)?

    I think you'll be happy with the performance. I'm running a slightly higher spec 5700X with a 3070 and am very happy with frame rates at 1080p.

    WIndows 10 Budget Gaming computer ( For Under 2,500 USD)

    One of my Son's friends was looking at pre-builts and asked us to recommend an alternative. As I'm currently a fan of AM5 we put this together. If my budget was higher I'd consider Ryzen 7 7700X or even 7800X3D paired with a 4060 Ti or a 4070.

    What PSU should I get?

    Looks like the NZXT has a 10 year warranty vs 3 years for the Apevia.

    Yea, that's a SATA connector. Your case will always have a connector to attach to the sound header on your motherboard for headphone and microphone jacks on the case front. I looked at the "manual" for your case - minimal documentation at best. That four pin fan connector may be redundant so...

    the fourth picture is for four pin case fan. Possibly for the three fans on the front of the case. Is your red, green, blue working? How about your head phone and mic jack on the front?

    Much better, also consider Scythe Fuma 2, or for something more compact, Noctua NH-U14S. Review

    I'd probably go with more cooler for that 125w CPU. I'd think the Vetroo sufficient for a 65w processor, but probably not for 12600K.

    Having trouble booting custom PC

    If your motherboard did not come with a speaker I'd pick one up from Amazon here . It would give you beep codes that may help identify the issue. Secondly I'd look on the board for a sticker to identify which BIOS version it was flashed with. Your 5800X3D is only supported if your running one...

    Password protect an external drive

    I use an external drive for backup of pictures, documents, etc using a simple dos batch file to specify which folders are to be included. Many of my documents have personal information, and my wife pointed out that my method lacks the basic security of password protection. Ten minutes of...

    Are people still building their own computer?

    I've got an 18 year old gamer that's been waiting over a year to update to a 3000 series card. We've been participating in Newegg's Shuffle hoping to get one, but no luck yet. I won't pay a scalper 2x MSRP, though, I am getting tired of waiting. To be fair I think at least half of the problem is...

    I want to build a gaming desktop!

    Open the case and used compressed air cans or compressor air with low pressure (35-40 psi) to blow out the dust. Pay particular attention to cleaning out the power supply, graphic card, CPU heat sink fins, and any case filters. Remove the heat sink from the CPU and clean off the old paste with...

    I want to build a gaming desktop!

    It would help if you were more specific when you say "failing." Also what you use the computer for? My first thought is to switch to a solid state boot drive, (SSD), and upgrade the gpu, if you game. You could pick up a used gtx 1060 or similar off ebay.

    X570 or B550?

    I eventually quit buying the expensive premium motherboards. Found I didn't use or really need the additional features.
