Re: Anyone wanna help me with a 3,055.00$ semi-budget build?
My friends have had horrible luck with Ryzen builds, but every time, it turned out to be someone thinking they knew how to hook up components, just to find out they plugged a header in wrong and was sending 5V to GND or something stupid like that.
Finally, after the second RMA, I insisted (instead of telling) that if they wanted me to work on any more of these, when they get the parts back in the mail, instead of having X or Y assemble it for them, just bring it over and have me assemble it. If it's assembled and not working, I'm not going to look at it. It's a waste of my time (I wasn't charging because they were friends) and a waste of their time.
First time I pieced together the PCs, they had no issues. Except one guy, bought a 300$ brand new "gaming" rig and has some serious bottleneck issues. Don't know what he was thinking he'd get for 300$. That was a pre-built one. He just asked me to max out the CPU, so we put the fastest Ryzen it could handle, which was an APU, but I warned him, it wouldn't make much of a difference because of how the system's built, which it didn't.
