Not yet. I’m going g to try to get it done this week. Just been super busy… ^^;

So I went with this build someone suggested on pc part picker https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W6mpQ6 And as soon as I go to put the cpu in…it won’t go in Not only that, I flip the cpu around to find…one pin…is bent It almost feels like it’ll fit… I dunno what to do- should I try to straighten...

Ok so I tried to go with this build suggested from someone on here through pc part picket.com https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W6mpQ6 and despite everyone saying everything checks out…the cpu doesn’t seem to fit… I turn it over and…just one of the little golden prong thingies seems to be...

This may not even be the right place to post such a question…but I’m a total noob when it comes to this stuff. How does virus protection work nowadays? And how does it affect modding? All the parts for my first rig are here and now I’m just trying to figure out exactly what to do *after* it’s...

Well My Pc is still in pieces in the mail so…not yet connected to the internet. I just don’t want to get so wrapped up in the setup of the computer that I don’t have any idea what to do once it’s built. As far as routers go, we have two in the house and both are for wi-fi…though I’m toying with...

So what order would one have to install these drivers to have a fully functioning gaming pc? in the youtube videos I’ve seen so far they all show the computer turning on and the screen looking blurry. Then they usually install windows, followed by…internet drivers? I guess? Then they go to the...

I have an I-phone with a broken port…I have to use a flat back charger to charge it. ^^; …Maybe this would be a good excuse to get a gaming laptop as well? Lol

Alright. I’ve been looking at some videos about what to do *after* you’ve built your gaming pc- setting up windows, drivers etc. So far in all of them they’ve said you would have to take the drivers from another pc device via usb drive to put drivers on your *new* freshly built pc… the only...

Ok so someone was kind enough to suggest this build from pcpartpicker. My only Remaining questions are: what kind of monitor would best go with a build like this and…what are your thoughts as far as modding goes? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W6mpQ6

So I’ve decided on an Rtx 3080ti for my graphics card. next step would be choosing a cpu, yeah?

Also thanks to you too Mr. Boru! :)

Thanks for the help so far guys. So Mr. Why_Me, I’ve been looking at the build you recommended and I like what I see. However, I don’t necessarily think I should go with the first thing I see (even though the little kid in me desperately wants a new toy to play with). That being said, would...

Why are you upgrading: Consoles don’t have very many mods. Budget: $2500-$3000 tops (Hopefully that’ll allow for my Skyrim to look really nice) Approximate purchase date: As soon as possible? Use case: Games and Modding them! Are you buying a monitor: Yes. Monitor Resolution and desired...

Wow thanks! Um…for a budget I guess somewhere between $2500-$3000 maximum? (I recently came into a bonus at work, but still don’t really know what I’m doing when it comes to computers…) I’m also in the Sunnyvale area in the Bay Area.

I’ve never built a PC before but have seen a lot of YouTube videos about amazing mods for a lot of Bethesda games. As a first time builder, which parts should take priority for modding games? Also any general tips for feeling a bit…overwhelmed by the process of PC building? I know a lot of...
