Storage

[dusk adder]

You can technically add as much storage as you want until you NVME or SATA ports run out

Also for GPU it really depends which one supports your Motherboards PCIe slots and if you have enough connectors

Im going down the same route as you are made my PC still choosing GPU got a 7600x thinking a out a 3060 bcuz it's got good vram and is on par with the 4060

[opal dove]

Any idea how would i know what my motherboard supports?

[opal dove]

That's nice 😮

[dusk adder]

Should be in the motherboard manual or if you search the motherboard they usually have visuals telling you

[opal dove]

Thanks alot

That's my first pc after using laptop for years 😃

I'll focus on getting gpu and ssd storage then maybe i'll consider upgrading my cpu soon

[dusk adder]

Same

[dusk adder]

What do you think you're going to upgrade to?

[dusk adder]

Most Motherboards nowadays support PCIe gen 4

[opal dove]

From my research probably ryzen 5 5600 or ryzen 7 5800x

[opal dove]

What's your build?

[dusk adder]

Your Mobo according to the website supports gen 3

[dusk adder]

7600x
Asus prime a ax ll Mobo
2x16 GB DDR5-6000
Lian Li a3
Some arctic fans
Be quiet pure power 12 m 750w
1tb sata SSD

Still trying to cable manage

[dusk adder]

Pretty good choices

[opal dove]

Oh damn that's solid build

What you use that pc for?

[dusk adder]

Mostly gaming

But without a GPU it's hard to run some games

[opal dove]

True

[dusk adder]

I bought god of war 2018 which is running like 30 fps

And got spiderman miles morales which can't even get 10

[opal dove]

The build i have pretty decent with running some AAA on low settings which was my goal honestly

[opal dove]

Oh dang

[dusk adder]

Yeah I didn't expect much fps seeing as it's a open world game

[opal dove]

YOOOOO

That's good news

[north nebula]

I don’t think it actually matters on what gen the pci slot is. But I could be wrong

[dusk adder]

I think they just need bios update to use 6000 series

[north nebula]

Yeah

Unless your mobo has a bios flash button you’ll need an old gen cpu to flash it. Which I think the 3200 can do

[opal dove]

Alright

[dusk adder]

I'm kinda lucky I got a bios flask back button I won't need it yet bcuz I'm not planning on upgrading for a while

[dusk adder]

I think it might

I could be wrong aswell tbh

[opal dove]

Dang

I need to learn alot about pc stuff

[north nebula]

Yeah it does

Some are different sizes

[dusk adder]

I had to read a whole book before my dad bought me some parts

[opal dove]

Goddamn

[north nebula]

Also @opal dove it depends on if you’re going to purely use the pc for gaming or if you’re going to multi task with it about the cpu thingy

[dusk adder]

All that

[opal dove]

Ohhh yeah this is for gaming purposes

[north nebula]

5600 is good for gaming but when it comes to multi tasking the 5700x will be better as it has more cores

I’d go with the 5600 then

[opal dove]

Ohhh

I see

[north nebula]

Save some money and you get a cooler

[opal dove]

that's a fat book man

[opal dove]

Yup

[dusk adder]

Yeah

It was my dad's old book

It's like 20 years old so a little outdated

Luckily YouTube is a thing

[opal dove]

My goal is to run game like ac odyssey in higher graphic settings and be able to atleast run games like baldurs gate/rdr2

[opal dove]

20 years is so old

Haha

[dusk adder]

Fr

[opal dove]

My sources are: ai, google, youtube, and this

[dusk adder]

My goal is just to play PlayStation games

[north nebula]

I think when you’ve properly kitted out the pc it will be able to run Ac in medium - high

[dusk adder]

Been stuck on Xbox games

[north nebula]

Not sure about rd

[opal dove]

I just recently started being in pc, jist this christmas dec 25

[opal dove]

Ohhhh

Good to know

Btw i did not build this

I just learned its parts online

I got it pre built

[north nebula]

That’s fine

No shame in it

[dusk adder]

😱

[opal dove]

Yeah man

[north nebula]

My brother tried building his own pc 💀

[dusk adder]

I find building it more fun imo

[opal dove]

I agree

[north nebula]

Slow motion cuz I was trying to see what order they lit up

[dusk adder]

The only stressful part is the cpu after that everything gets easy

[opal dove]

From now on though, all upgrades on this pc will be built by me 😀

[north nebula]

Also cable management is not a thing in that case

[opal dove]

Disaster awaits

[north nebula]

I was stressing putting my m.2 in

I have such shaky hands 😭🙏🏽

[dusk adder]

Theres non im my case either

[north nebula]

LMAO

[opal dove]

Ohhhhhh

[north nebula]

if it works

[dusk adder]

Lol

[dusk adder]

If it works, it works

[opal dove]

LMAO

[north nebula]

Exactly don’t touch it lmao

[dusk adder]

I'm going to cable manage it more when I get a GPU

I was to eager to play games so I kind of rushed cable management

[north nebula]

Btw unless your fans are reverse blade I would change the orientation

[opal dove]

I got this for $128

Or 7.5k in my country

Peso

[dusk adder]

I got 2 intake and 2 exhaust

[north nebula]

Ideally this

[dusk adder]

I kind of wanted equal pressure

[north nebula]

Fair enough

You could always move the back fan

To the bottom or smth

[dusk adder]

Actually I kind of can't have 2 at the bottom cuz its gonna bend the SATA cable

[north nebula]

Ohh fair enough

Oh yeah

That’s weird

[dusk adder]

A lil ik

[north nebula]

They usually run up the side

[dusk adder]

The SATA cables?

[north nebula]

This is my pc

[north nebula]

Well the ports

[north nebula]

Fans on the bottom are grey though 💔

I’ll get a photo of it now that photo is a couple months old

[dusk adder]

Oh there's some put they won't work with the SATa cables I had for the SSD

[north nebula]

Ohhh

[dusk adder]

Yeah...

[north nebula]

Is that good?

[dusk adder]

I'ma just assume it's good

[north nebula]

Yeahh $128 is a steal for that tbh

[dusk adder]

Fr

[opal dove]

Yesh i got chesp and was able to run odyssey at feasible rate haha

Man before this pc, i plsy ac odyssey on my 8gb intel celeron pc xD

Big upgrade for

Me

[dusk adder]

Yeah

[opal dove]

That's why i really wanted a desktop

[opal dove]

Thats good to know

I alr know its cheap but idk the actual price of these stuff piece by piece

[dusk adder]

I just wanted a desktop so I could play the PlayStation exclusive and get better quality and fps

[opal dove]

I see

Why didnt you get playstation instead though?

[north nebula]

Not really worth it tbh

[dusk adder]

Cuz I thought It's a little bit of a waste paying 500$ and paying more for games plus you can adjust more settings on the PC compared to console getting nicer looking games with higher fps

[north nebula]

While the 2070 is good

It’s not

The best

Being 3 generations behind

[opal dove]

Ohhhh yeah make sense. For me I choose desktop for flexibility and freedom

[opal dove]

Oh dang

I see now

[dusk adder]

He sees ...

[north nebula]

But also like rule said not much freedom

In customisation or settings

[dusk adder]

Plz don't call me rule 😭

[opal dove]

Hahaha

Okay six

[north nebula]

Mb 😭😭😭

[dusk adder]

Not 6 either 😭

[north nebula]

LMAO

other person

[opal dove]

😭

[dusk adder]

I hate this server they gave this bcuz my username is "inappropriate "

[north nebula]

Ohhh 💀

What was it

[opal dove]

LMAO

[dusk adder]

Freecrow

[north nebula]

How is that inappropriate 😭

[dusk adder]

Tf is wrong with free and crow 💀

[dusk adder]

Fr

[opal dove]

I just realized the inaappropriate name rule in #rules is rule 6 so he is named that hahaha

[dusk adder]

Exactly

[opal dove]

Damn 🔥

I like the lighting on that

[north nebula]

Thank you thank you

My pc now

Bottom fans really piss me off because they’re too big to fit all 3

[dusk adder]

I can understand if my user is "hard to tag" bcuz some people call me freecow

[dusk adder]

That PC is awesome

[north nebula]

I do need to cable manage my desk better though

[north nebula]

Thank you 🙏🏽

[opal dove]

OH

That looks lit bruh

[dusk adder]

I cable managed the hell out of my desk

[north nebula]

LMAO

I try to but I can never find motivation

[opal dove]

Cable managing ya'll pc will make your pcs look 100x better no doubt haha

Though on your pc i barely noticed the cable cuz of the light at first look @north nebula

[dusk adder]

I'm not gonna lie I almost didn't until I got scared by a cable touching my leg during a gaming session

[dusk adder]

Fr

[north nebula]

LMFAO

[north nebula]

Yeah it’s not my pc that needs managing just my desk

Ethernet cable and power cable n stuff like that

[dusk adder]

They scare me, feels like a spider 🕷️💀

[opal dove]

Oh hell nah

I'm also guilty in desk cable management

Lmfao

I will fix it soon...

[dusk adder]

I'm hoping to wait to cable manage my desk more till I get a new monitor

[dusk adder]

Soon...

500 years later

"You cable manage yet"

Soon...

[opal dove]

[dusk adder]

I'm surprised I ain't asleep yet usually staring at my phone makes me...😴

https://tenor.com/view/its-kinda-quiet-around-here-jeremy-assisted-living-s3e14-its-silent-in-here-gif-27130459

[north nebula]

@dusk adder an hour later and many zip ties

Strategically placed hole to hide wires 😭🙏🏽

[dusk adder]

Lol

I was able to cable manage a little bit of the PC

Almost no cables

Till you look here

[north nebula]

Holy shit

That’s a lot of wires

[dusk adder]

Yeah

I got a speaker 2 monitors and a Tv (hoping to switch to a 1440p gaming monitor), my Xbox the PC lots or accessories and cables for headphones, keyboard and mouse, phone, controller, and led lights plus my school laptop

It looks very clean until you look from the side

[north nebula]

Have you got zipties or smth

[north nebula]

Yeah true 😭😭😭

[north nebula]

And time

[dusk adder]

I do I'm using them to keep those cables

[north nebula]

Oh I was gonna say it could look really neat if you tie all the cables together

[dusk adder]

There are little sticky clips that you just put on the desk and put cables in them. They are a pain to take off

[dusk adder]

It would but I don't have that many zip ties and I used most that I got for the PC build

I also needed to make it easy for me to take my chargers out in case I went to my mom's or on a trip

[north nebula]

Ohhh true

[north nebula]

Fair enough

[north nebula]

Ong I ripped part of my desk off with one 💀

[dusk adder]

If I didn't have to be able to take them off I would have used power tools to route them through the metal

[north nebula]

I know you can get Velcro zip tie things

They’re useful

[dusk adder]

They are

I got some holding up the cables so there was none showing at the front the bars that go up have some

[north nebula]

Oh neat

[dusk adder]

I spent like 3 hours

Cable managing it all

[north nebula]

Hopefully my friends getting a pc and he said he wants me to build it so that’s going to be fun

[north nebula]

Think I’d die

[dusk adder]

Good luck 🤞

[north nebula]

I don’t mind tbh it’s just cable managing it in the case

[dusk adder]

Real

[north nebula]

I almost broke my brothers gpu yesterday too

[dusk adder]

Yeah it's annoying a little bit

Especially bcuz you don't want to strain the cable

[dusk adder]

How?

[north nebula]

The metal part where the hdmi and dp are got stuck on the case but I thought it got stuck in the pcie slot

So I kept pulling on it whilst trying to pry the pcie lock open and I almost dropped it whilst it was still stuck 💀

[north nebula]

Yeahh

[dusk adder]

Wow 💀

[north nebula]

Wasn’t a light card either

1660 super
