PC Part Picker
Can you guys give me opinions on this build? Will be building my first PC soon and I set my budget right around 1k. I have zero experience building, so this is a build I put together after researching and watching YouTube videos a couple hours today. Am I missing anything, besides the Monitor which I’ll buy later.
Went and took your parts list and tweaked a few things...
- Left the GPU and CPU as is for now because of your $1k budget.
- Removed WiFi card, and upgraded your motherboard which includes WiFi
- Removed CPU cooler - for a 12400F, the stock CPU cooler from Intel will suffice.
- Removed Windows - you can get a genuine copy here LINK (or other places.... this link is "legal")
- Replaced your memory with DDR4-3200 CL14 Memory - I believe this is Samsung B-Die. Very fast memory.
- Replaced your PSU with EVGA 80+ Gold unit at 750W.
- Replaced your NVME SSD with a higher quality 1 TB version from SK Hynix. One of the best PCIe Gen3 SSDs out there.
Overall, my changes save you roughly ~$90 - obviously Windows is not included, but you still save money after buying windows.

Or just use the MS supplied ISO and never activate it. That's what I've been doing for the past 10 years

Plenty of ways to get rid of it

I built this current PC about two years ago; I activated Windows with a Windows 7 key I pulled off a faded sticker on the bottom of a laptop I bought in like 2010

My desktop randomly decided to shite the bed the other day. Closed out of a game and everything is fine. Walk my dog, come back and have “hdmi 1 no signal”
It isn’t the HDMI cord nor the monitor because the feed goes through when I hook it up to my ps5.
What the frick did I do and how do I unfrick it
I just wanna kick the Muslims out of Spain in the new ck3 dlc

Short of some super exotic driver issue that I'm currently too tired to troubleshoot, if you've already tested the cord and the monitor, the only thing left is your graphics out PC side. Do you have a second HDMI port on your motherboard (IG) or discrete gpu? If not, do you have a any DP ports/cables you could try?
ETA: Does your motherboard have debug lights/codes? If so, when you restart, does your pc make it all the way through boot, or does it hang somewhere?

I don’t even know where to look for this
When I turn it on all the lights come on and it seems like it boots fine? Just getting nothing but “hdmi no signal”
I’ve tried every combo of 2 cords and every hdmi in/out on both the tower and monitor.

DisplayPort. It's a fricky looking, but badass connector. HDMI on the left, DP on the right:

Do you know the exact model of motherboard you have?

Ahhhh nah I don't think I have one of them. But I see the ports. I'll go pick one up and give that a try.

Nah. My brother bought a prebuilt and my parents bought him a much nicer one so I just bought it from him. I'm sure it isn't anything special but it runs tarkov good enough and the only other game I play is CK3

Haha then yeah, a prebuilt almost certainly won't have a nice enough motherboard to have debug lights, unfortunately
Basically, I'm trying to figure out whether you might have a dead port on your gpu, or whether your system is flat not booting. If you're booting and simply not getting a display signal, it's either port (monitor), cable, or port (PC). If you're not booting at all, that's a whole different issue

Oh nah it’s booting up. It was fully booted up when the connection just went away and never came back.
All my other shite is breaking rn so why not add the pc to the list
Posted on 6/2/22 at 9:26 pm to beerJeep
If your gpu and monitor both have DisplayPort, that would be my first attempt at a fix. And hell, DP is arguably superior, anyway. And I imagine you would be happy with a fix that cost you like $10
If that doesn’t work, come back, and we can work through the more complicated crap.

Still a long work in progress to get it all cleaned up, but man, it's been way too long without triple monitors at home
Edit: Also need to test if that shotgun mic even works worth a shite

I have a hard time imagining my wanting more than a 34" UW at home, but we'll see what the future holds
Posted on 6/3/22 at 8:00 am to Joshjrn
I have my ultrawide at work because I didn't care for it at home. Windows just hasn't quite figured out how to snap properly on ultra wides
