    Question Pc crashing

    i would agree with the PSU, ive had issues in the past where the GFX card power drop below the threshold and would simply power off the PC

    Question First time trying to put a build together, is there anything wrong with it? Re-using some parts.

    i'd look to get a i5-12400F and motherboard to suit rather 2 gen old 10 series

    Which components can I safely switch?

    I have just replaced my i5-8500, Z370 board and 2666mhz ram over to a 12500, Z690 board and 3600mhz ram and had no issues. (i didnt reinstall windows for several years and hardware changes) i just had to reactivate windows 10

    Will this be okay for my first PC?

    Whilst i agree the 650w psu is a good purchase for the future, when i upgrade my gfx card to the 3060ti i didnt need to upgrade the 500w im running .

    Question Crash when playing games

    i suspect its your PSU not supplying enough power on the rails when asked, pcpartpicker can give you an insite to power usage if you pick your parts

    Will this be okay for my first PC?

    the main issue you'll have with a self buid is getting the parts, especially the GFX card, might be better off checking several websites for the best pre built one cost wise

    1070Ti underperforming?

    two things spring to mind, i recently upgraded from a GTX 1060 to a RTX 3060ti, all my games when they run have detected the change and amended the settings to reflect the new card, this could account for the low fps. the other could be the driver, did you remove the old one and install a new one?

    Asus 4th gen i7 need opinions!

    i wouldn't waste my money on this, 7 generations old, ddr3, no graphics card and a 350w psu. you could game unless you buy a dedicated graphics card, you would be better looking for a newer PC or building yourself

    Any thoughts or room for improvement/better cost-effectiveness on my build?

    needs a bigger power supply, think the minimum is 650w for a 3070

    Alienware R11

    dual 2080's.... Nvida have dropped this, so i personally would try for either a single to a newer 30xx card
