My trusty gtx1080 has finally been showing its age. Not that it isn't fast enough, but that its starting to crash frequently unless I underclock it. I've been contemplating building a new PC for the first time in about 8 years, and the chip shortage seems to be tapering off, for all but the highest end consumer chips.

...but wouldn't you know it? I just managed to by an RTX4090! At MRSP no less! (fuck u scalpers!) I even have my wife's approval! I probably won't have a complete build until after the holidays, but its exciting to be putting a new war machine together.

This was all inspired by finding out that Valve forked off a version of Wine they're calling Proton that makes most Steam games work on common linux distros without any real tweaking. I tried it and it worked great out of the box for Deep Rock Galactic.

Steam games were pretty much the last thing tying me to windows, but I can't underclock my gpu (without great effort) in ubuntu and I was crashing every 20 minutes or so at stock clocks. If I'm going to have to actually upgrade instead of plodding along with the hacky quick fix, might as well go big if I'm not going to upgrade again for most of a decade. I tend to use my hardware until it physically falls apart, like that poor macbook I had in highschool that melted its plastic feet off rendering 3d fractal animations at 100% CUP usage for 5 months straight...

there's actually something INSANELY erotic about building and taking apart computers......

I upgraded my CPU + GPU a couple weekends ago ٩( ᐛ )و

Ryzen 7 3700X -> Ryzen 7 5800X3D NVIDIA GTX 1070 -> NVIDIA RTX 4070

EDIT: Also yes I'm aware that I left the CPU fan cable dangling in the last photo there, lol

Hi! It's not something you've talked about in a long time, but do you have any tips for building a pc? My laptop is on its final legs and I'm just gonna upgrade.

I'm using pcpartpicker to make sure everything is compatible and I'm learning what I need for what I'll be using it for, but I'd love some tips if you have any!

the manual that will come with your motherboard will be very thorough and will make it easy to understand where things go, as long as you read it diligently. use youtube guides extensively for anything that is not clear to you, there are hundreds available. just make sure you find one relevant to the brands you're using (don't use a guide for an Intel build if you are building AMD, for example). the front panel connectors are the one thing i always need to look up.

as far as compatibility goes, you said you're using PCParts, but be aware that your CPU and RAM are the largest compatibility concern, as they go hand-in-hand with your motherboard. if you want the latest generation of tech for any one of those three, you have to commit to all three, as there is no backwards compatibility with older generations.* keep this in mind as you consider your price vs. performance options. the older generations are less expensive and still perform very well, but when they will eventually need replacing, if you intend to move to a newer gen (as you may have to unless you scour for secondhand old gen stuff), you will have to replace multiple components, which is expensive and also requires gutting your entire PC. every PC owner who does their own builds faces needing to do these upgrades at some point, it's just a question of how far down the road you want it to be.

if you are pushing on something hard and it's not going into the socket, double and triple check yourself. the sockets are firm but they do not require herculean strength. if something isn't going in, there is a high chance it's not supposed to go there. if you're certain it's the right wire for the socket, make sure you have the orientation correct. a lot of the headers have a specific number of pins in a specific orientation, if you try to put a wire in upside down, it will not go in and pushing too hard will bend or break the pin on the board.

get a fully modular power supply. just trust me on this.

do not touch the pins on your CPU. reference the CPU manual to be very certain you have the orientation correct before you attempt to place it. if you break a pin you are shit out of luck.

for pins on the motherboard, if you bend them by accident you can VERY GENTLY straighten them with tweezers.

do all of your work on a wooden table or hardwood floor, do not work on a carpeted/fabric surface, this will increase the likelihood of introducing static to the components, which can damage or break them. touch something metal to discharge any static before touching your PC parts. some people insist on wearing anti-static bracelets but you don't have to as long as you're careful.

have fun! building a PC is pretty straightforward once you get into it. it's more like putting a puzzle together than anything else, except at the end you have a cool machine and other people will think you're some sort of tech genius.

*some motherboards have backwards compatibility with DDR4 RAM but not all of them, and none of them have compatibility with old gen CPUs.
