I have not built any pc, but I do know most parts if it works or not
Btw, go to PCPartPicker.com to see if parts work with each other, where to find deals, etc.
@noble oak what CPU do you want
if 3rd gen ryzen make sure your motherboard has MAX in the name
also samsung ssds are kind of a ripoff. get a small (~250-500gb) ssd from Crucial or something just for boot and some other things, and get a 2tb barracuda compute hdd
They are not that good, but for the price, it is pretty good
True, other ssds are better, but for the price it is good
uh
no
for the price its not that good
like its really good but also a waste of money
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ggdrWb Any suggestions?
That would be my setup in a million years
It is not complete yet

^^ Nice pc build / setup
i have one
@languid marten should be this one: https://steelseries.com/gaming-mousepads/qck-prism-series#qck-prism-medium
not a very clear pic
If that's the benq zowie it is a 240hz but couldnt fully make out the model number
idk if this is any better
^ @low vigil
24.5 100%?
wht
How can you tell the inch
From the model number
might just be rounding up?
It is 24.5 inches
Does using higher contrast make the player model easier to spot?
In what game?
Yeah it will but the higher contrast won't significantly increase easiness
Best option is stretching your resolution making them bigger
There is a slight impact but minimal at most
The purpose of Black eQualizer is to brighten darker areas without overexposing lighter areas. This in turn gives competitive players an edge, allowing them to spot enemies hiding in dark corners and shadows
So I should max this
Yes
I'm looking here
Majority don't have it maxed
Which is surprising
But I follow my guy xantares settings
What exactly is Picture Mode? Is that just the name of the preset
Some have it set to FPS 1 some Gamer 1,2
I think so yeah
Do you have different modes for when you play games and watch movies?
I probably should I know there are betting settings for both but only really use the monitor for games
I am pretty sure there is a preset maybe
any way to sync arctis pro + gamedac witch razer?
@toxic briar you may have luck with Aurora, but generally no. http://www.project-aurora.com/
it's stupid that such big brands won't turn on and you won't be able to sync from the app
any way thx i will try
someone bild pc for me ?
i dont like this
"in this case LIAN-LI PC-O11 DYNAMIC RAZER EDITION also KRAKEN Z73 AIO CPU WATER COOLER WITH LCD SCREEN - 360MM max 2k£"
There's what you wrote
ty
Well you didn't give much info :)
Well I mean my response was to "someone build a pc for me?"
I'm sure someone will give you a suggestion :)
my bad
I was just being silly, no worries
hello everyone can someone build a pc for me? 😄
Please include the case*** lian-li dynamic razer edition*** also kraken z73 witch lzd screen - 360mm / max 2k £
price range and use case is always helpful...
also my gpu doesnt have a type c connector so that's kinda strange
FWIW that is a legit link
I'm 99.9% sure it's not a legit bot though
it's weird though
It is
best headphones for 40$? ofc steelseries
Scam
yep
@toxic briar steelseries' cheapest headset is $50 usd
at least, that's the cheapest Arctis
got it
And that's the headset he's talking about @toxic briar :)
Also comes in a Xbox and PlayStation specific version
For gaming i9 9900ks or r9 3950x
9900ks
@jolly zealot 3900X, the 3950X doesn't provide much more with the added 4-cores because you'll never use them while gaming.
I wouldn't suggest Intel CPUs at this point anymore because they're too expensive for the performances provided and the 9900K has no real advantage in gaming, you get highest avg but a lot of sensible drops as well...for 144Hz on resolutions higher than 1080p Intel is literally to avoid, and it's also £40 more expensive on Amazon...
@pulsar fossil u are the best mod ever +rep
Is switching from an offbrand gaming mouse to a good known gaming mouse going to have an impact on your aim?
@low vigil it will help mentally and potentially reduce the the couple ms of lag/response time. it will probably feel better in your hand for longer gaming sessions, and it will be something to improve the look of your set up. other than that, up to you 🙂
but obvi i am a strong believer that a good mouse helps your aim x10
My hand starts cramping after playing a prolonged intense game
@low vigil technically yes it will. A proper gaming mouse (like any from SteelSeries) will have a much better and more accurate sensor which will inherently improve accuracy in games. I went from a crappy CM Devastator mouse to a Rival 310 and did see a noticeable improvement in my accuracy and pretty much everything else involving the mouse
Hmm
one thing that helps is that gaming mice are generally taller and longer, so your hand isnt scrunched like with logi’s smaller mice for example
is the razer mamba elite any good?
it looks like a pretty cool mouse with the lighting
Is in SteelSeries Discord
Asks about Razer products
🤔 🤔 🤔
big brain time
it's aight
@left kiln I haven't tried that specific version but I generally like the mamba and deathadder :)
oh ok
Yeah deathadder and mamba are both really good mice
personally i prefer the naga
@hushed spindle
Nvm found it
Has anyone tried the rival 500 for mmo like wow? Coming from razer naga.
I recently had a GPU failure with my 7 year old pc so I’m looking to getting a new one (gpu). I use my pc for Minecraft and streaming, and don’t have a big budget currently, but are there any suggestions or recommendations for what I should get?
this is my processor => Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @3.40GHz
not sure what other details I can give
I’d go with maybe a 1070?
Almost any modern GPU would be bottlenecked to the moon with that
yeah
it's solid
rtx 2060 would be more futureproof than the 1060 but with your CPU either would be bottlenecked so may as well go for the cheaper one
Yeah, and seeing as I don’t have a lot of money, the cheaper one will be best with my current budget
yep
There's SteelSeries prizes on the line in this Cyberpunk contest: https://www.cyberpunk.net/cyberup
(not announcing this on behalf of anyone, just saw it and wanted to share it with you all :)
thats awesome but my poor american rubles can't support this lol
naga has too many macros lol
makes working on stuff 1000% easier
ahaha thanks
I7 processor, 2070 GPU 🤪
@tardy mirage
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Mobo: ASUS B450-I Strix Gaming
RAM: 16GB G.Skill TridentZ Neo @3600MHz CL17
SSD: Seagate Firecuda 510 500GB
SSHD: Seagate Firecuda SATA 2TB
NZXT H1 (case, PSU and liquid cooler kit)
GPU: MSI 2060 Super Gaming X
It used to be a great combo...but now you need 1300/1500$ for this type of PC...
I would change the GPU with a 5600XT from AMD and maybe the RAM with 16GB of something cheaper like Teamgroup or Patriot...
if the price is still high change the Mobo with a B450 Tomahawk MAX from MSI and buy a 650W PSU from Seasonic or EVGA (even a bronze certified is fine)
for the case (if you haven't already one) there are tons of good options sub 100$
if the price is still high, just don't but the 2TB HDD and wait for the next time you can spend 80$ to buy one because 500GB are not really a lot, specially with modern games...
this looks like chat
Barracuda Compute has no SSD caching which is a huge plus for games, you can put manageable games that you use really often and have SSD-grade loading times for a fraction of the price/GB @fast jewel
I also suggested 3600MHz because AMD CPUs suffer a lot from slow memory modules, a good 3600MHz kit with decent latency gives a boost in IPC which basically turns the cards in favour of AMD even in gaming usage, that's because of the clock parity between memories and the CPU's FClock.
aha I did not see that
It does give a boost but honestly I'm not sure if it's worth the extra price
i've had good enough performance with 3200mhz cl16
well, it depends on the current prices on the market...I think that £92 for 16GB of RAM is a worthy price. Going with Patriots he could have a good boost for no such a bigger price...
in CS:GO the difference is 18FPS. Yes we are speaking of 18FPS over 450, but it's also worthy considering that the same 4% in boost might be useful in other situations, specially if he can grab those Patriots for 90$...
I am thinking about more CPU constrained situations where it could make the difference...
That's true as well, but I would suggest it as last resort 👍
Hey guys, can I ask y’all some questions about some parts? I’m working on building a PC and I’m just kind of stumped on a couple things.
@viral wadi If I can help, go for it!
Thanks @shrewd pawn, do you prefer liquid or air cooling your pc and does it matter the situation you’ll have your build in?
I think it ultimately depends on your situation. Air cooling is adequate for most builds/people. Unless you're planning on getting a big boy CPU and overclocking, you can get by just fine with an air cooler.
There's certainly some diminishing returns on liquid cooling
I personally chose to go air cooling for my most recent build
I personally have an overclocked i9-9900KS, so I got an AiO. Like Lennart said, liquid cooling can have marginal returns depending on the situation
If you aren't going to aggressively OC, a good air cooler will get you set up! Also save some money for a more important upgrade like RAM or GPU
For sure, so should I do air cooling then? My room gets pretty hot in the summer and sadly my house doesn’t have AC, I’ll be keeping it on my desk but it’ll be in a corner so if I do air cooling should I try and position the air to blow up instead of out to the wall? Or would it be better to just liquid cool it?
i want to make one of them wall mounted pcs
I also have a room that gets hot easily so I understand your worry. I've heard that a closed loop cooler will make your room hotter however it obviously improves temps in your pc. You can't cool the PC below the room temperature with water or air. So in the end you're really looking for what's going to help keep your comps cooler for longevity's sake.
I got myself one of those small ACs from best buy to basically blast air near my PC and keep the temps down. That WITH the AiO makes the biggest difference.
Either way, water or air, you're gonna be more concerned with the air flow you're getting in the PC, especially if you have a hot room.
I'm not a PC master so if anyone wants to chime in I'd appreciate it lol
Also if you're looking at one of those 120mm AiO, you might as well get a tower cooler for the same price, they usually outperform the small AiO.
So I'd recc you only go AiO if you're going to a) need it and b) get a 240mm and up. Keeping your budget in mind too, since I'm not going to assume how much you're spending.
Again, I'm not a system builder or anything so I recommend you do some research on your own and try to form an opinion with tons of info instead of just my rambling lol
Hope I was able to help somehow. 👍
@viral wadi
AIOs are also kind of known for bad value
yea @fast jewel hence the marginal return comment lol. air coolers are always great for most people. I'm not going to assume @viral wadi 's budget. Some people just want to stare at a pump you know?
Like the new ones with OLED screens on them lol
Thank you @shrewd pawn I appreciate that, I think I’m gonna get an air cooler for mine. Do you have any recommendations for air coolers or for the most part are they the same?
I'd look up some reviews. Most tech youtube channels put a bunch in the same price against each other. Try and watch a few vids, maybe read some reviews and formulate an opinion like that. There are obviously some that perform better than others but sizes are different and depending on your build, you might be constrained. I know noctua makes some good ones that I've heard.
Corsair apparently has a new one out too that got good reviews. Again, look up some vids with your budget in mind and you should be good!
Unless you're building mini itx, size shouldn't really be an issue.
but i mention it just in case
if ryzen, use stock
true, the wraith coolers are pretty good and the RGB is a nice bonus
are zen 3 amd cpus going to have the same stock coolers or a new stock cooler?
let me ask my amd staff friend yes indeed
Is in SteelSeries Discord
Asks about Razer products
🤔 🤔 🤔
@static pecan who did that lmfaoooo
my cpu is a ryzen 5 3550h, i have a total 8gb of ram, and i have two gpus one is rx560 and the other one is vega 8 graphics
are my specs any good?
Ye
oh ok
they're alright
is this the correct text channel to ask a question about my new headset?
@Kustom#6028 no, please go to #official-support then click the link as the bot is down and create a online ticket. The response will be sent to your email.
Hope this helped.
if its a question they couldve just gone to #💬-general
is a ryzen 73700X or a intel i7 9700k better?
3700**
i got a 2070 super and 16gb ram but im not sure what cpu needed
3700
If all you do is play games, Intel. But Ryzen's the better one if you multi-task, create content or just use your PC aside form gaming.
Not to mention the core count.
Should I get NZXT H1? This will be my first pc and I think it is good with pre-installed coolers and also an 80+ Gold rating power supply. So should I get it?
You talking about the case that kinda looks like the Xbox Series X?
dead?
yes
I mean it already has cable management done, you just have to plug in the cables
Yeah I saw the LTT video about it awhile back. I'm high key considering it for my next build as well
You also get a 120mm AIO already installed so all you have to do is add the brackets to your mobo
Alr thanks.
btw which GPU should I use with it?
I am thinking 2070 Super, but which would you recommend?
Depends on what CPU you're running but a 2070 super should be good for most any CPU in the mid-high end for either AMD or Intel
Im thinking of a Ryzen 5 3600
A 2070 super might be a little overkill for the CPU. You may be better off either jumping to a Ryzen 7 or getting like a 2060 super/5600XT
or 5700
There really isn't much of a difference between the 2 unless you find the 5700 on sale
Ray Tracing: ON except in the "Control" Ryzen 3700x/3600x+ RTX 2070 Super (Combo Performance)
Computer Details :
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 3700X, 3.6 - 4.4GHz
CPU: AMD Ryzen™ 5 3600X, 3.8 - 4.4GHz

RAM: 4x4GB Corsair Dominator Plati...
so im also gonna build a new pc and was thinking of this https://www.inet.se/datorbygge/b1147020/matkoma
aoc 24g2u-bk 144hz anyone knows this monitor ?
Is an i5 9600K and an RTX 2060 a good combo?
personally I'd go with ryzen but should be good
You could probably find a Ryzen 5 3600/3600X for cheaper but if you want to go Intel then that would be good for most games @brittle parrot
hey guys i planning to buy a 1080ti and i was wondering if any problems would occur with my pc. my current rig is 1060 6gb ,16gb dual channel ram 2400hz, i5 7600k,asrock h270 pro4 motherboard and a 60hz monitor that i plan to replace in about 3-4 months planning to buy a 2k 144hz monitor but havent decided on what to buy yet
also would my processor bottleneck 1080ti ?
Yes
The processor isn't the best looking at around maybe 60 - 65% capability
You would have to upgrade the cpu to maybe an i7 8700k
Or you could switch to Ryzen cpu's but the change in motherboard would make it more costly + they prefer higher speed ram so best option is getting the i7
(If you look at ryzen even the r5 2600 would be substantial but best to go for the ryzen 3rd gen)
Although you are probably better off getting the 2080 @sterile linden
where the heck are you getting these numbers
you can use bottleneck calculators
also @sterile linden it's worth considering something like a 2070 super or a 1660
you know those arent accurate right
like at all
you cant really measure it like that
I guess but it is still a bottleneck with the 1080ti + i5
it is
@fast jewel would i be able to run a 2070s with my current rig tho ?
Ryzen rigs work better but that is basically a whole pc upgrade
well thanks guys i will most likely change my processor first and slowly change everything
nice setup there but you dont really need a 3800x but you should get a 3700x, regular windows 10, get a x570 board and then you have some leftover money to put more into your gpu
ok thanks
You don't need an 850W PSU imo
Whoa whoa whoa
am i smelling someone recommending an x570
also if you need $100 extra you don't have to buy windows
evga psus are bombs
Yep
What do you guys think of this case http://www.phanteks.com/Eclipse-P400A.html
i mean it’s phanteks
kinda depends on what you want in a case
but like it doesnt really have any major issues that would steer me completely away
Can someone lmk a good motherboard, gpu, and cpu with a rough budget of $800 or less
might be able to go a little higher if needed
but not much more
@bleak swan what CPU?
Is Ryzen 5 3600 and rx580 8gb good combo?
@left sluice I'm asking for ideas of a cpu + gpu + motherboard I can get under $800
ohhh missed that you wanted a CPU too
i thought you were saying mobo/gpu lol
need a case/PSU/storage/RAM/etc.? or just the three main?
Case, PSU, storage, and RAM I have right now should work.
that's a fairly low powered psu so keep that in mind
what ram specifically? 2x4gb or 1x8gb? ddr3 or ddr4? what speed?
cx550 is like $75
ah okay
hmm I can try to find stuff
thanks (:
you may need a new case though since I don't know what parts it supports but I'm 90% sure it'll be fine
@noble dust yes that's a good combo
complete rebuild for $850-900ish
...and an attempt at getting decent stuff with intel
@bleak swan
prolly
is there a specific company that makes nice customizable pc cases?
Is there any Motherboard that supports Ryzen 5 3600 without a bios update?
Cause it’s gonna be my first time building a pc and I don’t have any older CPUs
@kind aspen x570 boards
Can you link me it?
any board with an x570 chipset
Don’t think that’s allowed yknow
@pearl wharf
Just got my first steelseries set,
nice
@kind aspen I have an ASRock B450 board, and it came 3000 ready.
Save that extra bit for storage or something.
I’ll consider that
Ty
But now
Can I send the parts that I chose and you rate it for me?
Some B450 boards ship with the BIOS update already installed for 3000 series. It really just depends on the brand and when the board was manufactured. The best bet unless you're able to do a bios update is to just get an X570 board
I won’t be able to do a bios update since it’s my first time building/owning a pc and I can’t afford to buy an older CPU to do the update
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Motherboard: MSI MPG X570/b450 tomahawk max
RAM:16Gb G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3600
GPU: GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER/ Radeon rx 5700 XT
SSD:256GB Silicon power NVMe M.2
HDD: 2TB
PSU:Seasonic S12III 550W
Budget?
I’m trying not to spend more than 1100 dollars
Should be relatively easy.
To be honest, I'd go with the Rx 5700 xt if I were you.
Not the reference card. It'll run hot af.
I suggest at least a 650w PSU.
As far as wattages are concerned - You do not want to have it barely on the edge
So, the Rx 5700 xt and upgrade the psu should be a 650 w
Pretty much.
I personally run ASRock steel legend b450.
With Rx 590, ryzen 5 3600.
Bequiet 9 600w.
Pretty efficient build, runs most at ultra 1080p.
The RX5700XT is definitely an improvement in performance over the 2060 super
Bigger is usually better when it comes to power supplies especially if you ever want to add higher end components later on that consume more power
a 650 watt is good for most everything, anything above that is basically just burning money unless you're building a really over the top system
Upgrades have been implemented.
Currently display is now the LGC9 65” OLED (120Hz).
Best picture ever. 🤘🏾
what resolution is the tv
goddamnn that place is sick
what resolution is the tv
@cunning scaffold
2160p (4K)
@noble oak Thank you muchly 🙏🏾.
@tribal silo
Thank you. 🤘🏾
It’s a gaming keypad. Basically it’s a small, auxiliary keyboard designed for gaming. It has a limited number of the original keys from a standard keyboard, and they are arranged in a more ergonomic fashion to facilitate quick and efficient gaming key presses. This particular keypad also has a analog stick for character movement, which I consider to be superior to WASD in every way.
@zenith elbow is that ur apartment or something? god i wanna live at urs
@zenith elbow is that ur apartment or something? god i wanna live at urs
@noble oak
It’s a condo that I own.
niceeee
Ah ok makes sense
minecraft?
not sure if this is the place but will the arctis 5 chatmix dial i am using as a replacement for my arctis pro change anything like its quality etc?
ping if u know pls
I just got the arctis pro and im wondering what the deal is with the cyberpunk stuff?
are they just replacement earcup sidepanels?
@acoustic current yeah I think it's like the booster packs
@acoustic current nope :)
Compatible with Arctis Pro, Arctis Pro + GameDAC and Arctis Pro Wireless
noice thx
That’s an expensive booster
@zenith elbow that setup was on setup wars just the other day right?
For what your getting I wouldn’t expect around $10
@polar dune yeh it was and Ed toasted his non gaming display
As nice as it is I’d say it’s pretty overkill with the amount of mice lol. But I kinda respect it if it’s just for the collection. Annoying thing will be keeping them all charged so you can have rgb on
i didn't mean the extras, just the main setup
@zenith elbow get in here haha
Yeh ik what you meant
It’s amazing
I’d defs go for a rug tho
Would make it more cosier
@zenith elbow that setup was on setup wars just the other day right?
@polar dune
Yeah, it was featured on the show.
very nice setup mate
@polar dune yeh it was and Ed toasted his non gaming display
@thorny canopy
He didn’t toast it lol.
Besides, by the time I replaced the display and sent him the updated pictures, he’d already finished filming and editing the video.
very nice setup mate
@polar dune
Thank you. 🙏🏾
How often should liquid coolers be replaced
I change it every 6Month
Not the cooler itself I hope?
@low vigil depends
AIOs usually have like a 4 year warranty or so
The cooler itself? Unless there's a leak, not really. But to replace the thermal paste? Every 6 months to a year. The fluid? As long as there is no visible sedimentation or growth inside it, it'll be fine.
Ryzen CPUs don't even need a cooler really
The stock fan that comes with the processor is enough for it lmao
@pallid plinth Thats what i was gonna do at first but ppl always todl me noo
aftermarket is a must
so I got h100i for my ryzen3900x
idk dude
i asked around many people
with good computer knowledge
"While the wraith prism is decent for a cooler bundled with a cpu its not an H100i. The H100i should cool significantly better than the wraith cooler" - toms hardware
ok
that doesnt mean it's not good enough
sure you wont run 75 locked but it's good enough
but go ahead and spend that $120
Already did long time ago
ooh sexy
Mb
Nice
My desk is much more cluttered then shown
angles make things look so much better then they are.
Oooh sexy
hehe
Was wondering if I could get a fairly new motherboard, cpu, and gpu with the budget of $300 give or take. Currently, I have a PSU with 430 watts, DDR3 8gbs of ram, intel HD graphics 4600, and core i5-4670. Any help appreciated! PLease @ me
At that price point, you're going to either sacrifice the CPU for a better GPU or start with integrated graphics and upgrade down the line.
If all you play are "e-sports" games, like those in the Game Chat section, an integrated GPU will suffice. Like a Ryzen 2400G.
But for $300, its a tough proposition to make since half of that will go to either GPU or CPU alone, not including the mobo.
And considering your hardware ATM, its best a new build. Don't think there are any modern mobos that will take DDR3 RAM.
@bleak swan Closest I would recommend would be this video's $300 build if you really can't go beyond that. Assuming you have a monitor and K&B to use for the PC. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lfcschg9uwU

Do you want to build a PC this holiday season? We’ve assembled some jumping off points for you to take out some of the guesswork!
...
You could see what is cheaper on similar parts on PCPP.
Thanks! I think I found something, but if that doesn't work I'll for sure look into this!
PCPP also has this one. https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/wQscCJ/budget-homeoffice-build
Pcpartpicker.com has really good build suggestions as well. And price tracking for the specific parts is helpful.
Haha good timing!
Can anyone help me? I didnt know where to post it. When i completly disable my Apex Pro LEDs, then a couple keys are stuck on blue light.
@magic pebble hmmm thats weird. did you have them all set to blue in one of your presets?
Are you disabling the colors from the software, and saving the profile after?
try changing to a different configuration
steelseries needs to make pbt keycaps
ah yes and saving could be the problem as well
@azure wigeon agreed
lol what?!
Bots coming throuuuugh
lolz
that's some stupid crap
but serious
needs a pbt option
I paid 20 for the kingston one and it doesn't have the right legends and markings
^
LOL wow
a pbt adds like a decade to the keyboard
I got censored
@azure wigeon where?
I have only two groups with the apex 7/pro
no pbt upgrade (charge 30 to 20 and do it)
and no detachable cord
I don't see it?
make it like the rival 710 with a cord removal
the bot deleted its own message @pulsar fossil
Ahh
pbt keycaps pelase
the kingston caps aren't bad though
The HyperX ones?
yeah I got those
Too bad they only make it in a wrong layout (:P)
They only make the Murica layout.. I'm Danish. Doesn't really help me :D
deck 710, shit fulla, sennheiser, minox giant pad, ms pro mouse for the quake machine
I'm sure someone else makes one in what (ansi?)
cherry switch all use the same stuff so do their clones so it should be fine
and to be fair SS isn't the only screw up here
WASD keyboards sells a CODE keyboard and doesn't even have ABS replacements
Ah yes, put the PC in the cat...
Anyways, I need help
I'm probably asking in the wrong discord but I need help finding a new PC...
pcpartpicker dot com is very helpful
@dawn fern if you drop a price range any specific things you're looking for (type/brand of case, AMD or Intel for CPU platform, etc) usually someone will whip up a build for you in their spare time
But if you're budget is under $300 I honestly wouldn't even bother and just wait until you have at least $500-$800 to get a good system that'll be able to handle whatever you may want to do with it
But I mean you could do really well with 300 if you try hard enough
https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/wQscCJ/budget-homeoffice-build this isn't for gaming, but would run you $409 US
It also depends on what you're wanting to do with it. If you're just going to play older games or like 2D side scrollers and whatnot a $300 system would probably work fine, but I know from personal experience that cheaping out on a gaming system doesn't do you any good in the long run
with 300 you're maybe looking at 8gb ram, an APU and at most a 550W PSU
You want to try and future-proof your system. You don't want to upgrade every 6 months. I'd save more money and try to invest in something mid-tier.
Ok
oh so if i put a 3.5 mm on it but to link it to my pc
3.5 -> 3.5 -> pc
could i have sound in the headset
?
it's an audio out, i dont think it works as an audio in
bc if for example we break the main port
for sound in
(FOR EXAMPLE, it's not broke thanks God lol)
Patience, patience.
ooooh
french ???
t'es frazncaçsk
français
?
moi aussi
:D
ahmince non c un mot transparent c vrai
xd
bruh
Please keep it english
@noble oak depending on how the main port breaks the share port should be possible to use as a replacement
yw
uhhh

someone told me I might need 700 watt psu for this. is this the case? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yTjrn7
I might bump that up to a 550 or 600 if I had the cash to spare but you definitely don't need a 700 watt for that config
You definitely don't need a 700w psu for this.
Even a 500w or 450w (or if you like living on the edge 400w, I am not suggesting it though.) would be enough. You could pick a 550 or 600 watt unit for more upgradability later on for if you want to upgrade your GPU to a 2070S or a 2080.
Main things you should pay attention to are:
- Is the psu from a reputable brand?
- If you want to lower your energy bill, you could go for a higher efficiency (the psu you chose is fine).
- And of course wattage. Try to calculate the wattage here: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
And do not forget; a underpowered psu won't explode when you boot up your system. It will just shut down.
I hope you have more storage laying around somewhere, because 240 gigs is... Just not enough nowadays

Corsair has good psu
guys
i need to build a pc and dont know what specs to put on it any suggestions so that it runs fast and has a high framerate for all games?
budget?
3000
USD?
3000 yen
This is the best u can get for 3k USD:
Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS PRO
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark TG
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900x
GPU: nVidia RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X TRIO
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H100i PRO RGB
RAM: 16 GB (2x8) DDR4 3600 MHz CL16
Ripjaws V
PSU: Corsair RM750X 750W v2
id prolly be able to sharpen that up, but that'd def be a nice pc
ok pepega
there's better
Whoops
Honest thoughts
Btw first time building one so advice would be nice to
@burnt crow
@robust frost i would suggest some higher frequency ram to go with that pc build, like 3400mhz or 3600mhz because Ryzen CPUs work way better in games with higher frequency RAM
also idk what you do with your computer, but tbh you could just go with a Ryzen 5 3600x and maybe upgrade to a 2070, and you would be perfectly fine in gaming still
Tbh I have no idea what that means again this my first time
Yes but not to big 9f games like the best being like destiny 2
hm
@robust frost
i made some changes to the gpu, cpu, and memory
and it should still be aroudn the same price?
just downgraded the cpu, upgraded the graphics
Yeah thanks man
👍
gl on ur build
if you have the extra money
go for a noctua heatsink @robust frost
Wait why did you need to downgrade
well
if you wanna utilize your money the best
this will suite you better
because
the ryzen 5 3600x still runs just fine
with a lot of things
um
the bottom note prob not important
but the top note
is prob someting to worry about
do u got like $30 more to spend on a cooler?
also why u want an external hard drive lol
Tbh I just went off what my dad said and he said to get these but he doesn't know much either
And yeah I can spend some more it is my money
okay
all good here
ignore the note, i set the cpu cooler to the one i actually own, so I know it fits on the motherboard you are getting
@robust frost
if u got more questions i dont mind :p
It still says
Ohh sorry didn't see that
Yeah thanks you have been a real help
np
@bleak swan you gonna need more storage than 240gb bro :O
and i would get a 2070 instead of a 2060 super, because some of them are going for like $410 like on newegg.com
Ssd is secondary to my hdd
@noble oak what's up now?
?????
wondering why you tagged Toad
I have no idea if he's sleeping, just wondering why you needed to talk to him
cool
i7-8700k
Dual RX 580 Gaming X 8Gb
Corsair 240 MM AIO
16gb DDR4 3600Mhz Ram
NZXT H510i
MSI MPG Z390 gaming carbon motherboard
6tb of space between 2 SSDS (1x NVMe 1x 2.5”) and one HDD
I want it
its great
looking to get a 2070s when the price goes back down
or maybe wait for the 3000 series
that intel got my nose more squished than a pug's nose
is there a problem with intel?
news flash chief- amd ryzen are better in every way
i mean an i7 8700k is good
but it's not worth it if you're building a pc
like at all
im dum its a 9700k
i didnt mean to put 8700
and i built it right when the 9700k came out
um
ig
but ima drop this here
oh, even better
same time period, in fact 2 quarters earlier
im guessing lower is better
it costs less, you get more threads, performance is the same and believe me that the thermals are night and day
but that's with the cooler you got
you can get the same thermals with the ryzen with the cpu fan that comes with it
there's literally no reason to stick to intel
still. i would buy the cooler i have now. it helps with gpu temps
the cpu cooler?
yes
helps with gpu thermals???
yeah its intake, pulls in coolair
before i had a air cooler, upgraded to this and now my gpu temps are lower
you realize you can just buy a couple of fans and it'd do the same instead of buying an entire water cooler for a few 100 bucks, right?
yeah..?
you can get a couple good fans for about 40 dollars and they'd do the same performance
uh huh, i know, but i wanted better CPU temps, so i bought the aio, i didnt buy it for the purpose of cooling the GPUS it was just a bonus of geting it
ah, yes
since you use intel liquid cooling is mandatory
otherwise you'll be working on a radiator
yeah, im thinking about buying the i9-10900k when it comes out
just
don't.
look forward for the ryzen 4th gen
it'll beat out intel
hell, it's already beating it out, performance wise and price wise
forget about intel completely
you can forget about liquid cooling unless you're rendering marvel movies and you'll cut at least 100 dollars from any build
well im getting it for the higher boost clocks
my friend already overclocked his 3700x a bit and still only gets 35% usage on cities skylines which renders entire cities.
while streaming i hit 70 to 80 percent
meanwhile an intel cpu would be steaming at 100%, and it's been proven by benchmarks for ages
since i have discord, google, streamlabs, and the game im playing all open
my friend has those setups and it sits at sub 10% usage
i also do TONS of video editing
my friend renders entire minecraft maps, thousands of chunks and he can't max it out
personally i'd recommend ryzen for video editing
at all
personally i'd recommend ryzen for video editing
@chilly edge for ANYTHING
it's superiour in every way
price, performance, longevity
well yeah, I myself will be buying AMD for a good while
good good
its not really gonna change the fact that ill always buy intel
but we don't know what the next gen processors will be like, if that's what we're talking about
yes
it*
but you waste 25% more cash
thats not an issue
are you those ppl that judge products by price
no?
or are you just brand loyal
i wouldve bought an NZXT cooler if i did lmao
People can use AMD or Intel if they want, it's up to them
just like I won't be using any NZXT products
yes, but it just shows stubborness if you cant understand that amd have wiped out intel
it's been proven countless times
then what is the bloody point in buying intel anymore
it's not like software matters
it's not ios vs android
it's a rock that goes zap
mhm
cheaper faster rock goes nyoom, buy that one
nah
If you want intel, go for it. If you want to go for Ryzen, go for it. Personally I recommend ryzen but i'm not gonna shove benchmarks down people's throats
im just trying to save people money
you get more for less with amd, it's just ignorant to overlook everything and buy intel only because you're used to it
i dont really need to save money lmao, its not to much of an issue to get the blue box over the grey one
and im not overlooking anything, remember, people buy Chryslers....
oh i know
why do you get more expensive and power consuming cpus that have 7 year old hardware in them
instead of getting newer cheaper and more efficent cpus
just say why
Reason: Bad word usage
it was hot garbage when i was streaming
constant frame drops, lots of complaints about quality, got an intel CPU
it solved those problems
yes
Or possibly trying to use the (non-existent) iGPU in the Ryzen processor for rendering
Probably depends on the encoder
done it thousands of times
used CPU for encoder
tried gpu
my 580 wasnt enough
Yeah thought you'd use CPU, the iGPU in (most of the) Intel processors probably helps a ton
also 580s, cringe
not 100% sure on it, but it seems intuitive
it takes way too much effort to use 2 gpus, so many problems and support is ending for that tech
and again, if it didnt work for you, you were probably missing something
bc 3600s are very nice for streaming
oh i have the gaming x 580
with the samsung vram
its the same as a 1070
actually slightly better
but worse than the ti
and they both cost...?
200
i'm assuming you're talking about the VRAM when you compare to the 1070
because from my memory, 580 was the competitor to the 1060
Vega 56 was the competitor to the 1070
you can get a 2070 super for 500, and it's on par with the 2080
sell those, buy that
yes the gaming x version of the 580 did welll over the preformance of a 1060
and i got one for free
so
ah that's nice to hear
only 200 in total
my dad mines bitcoin so when he got rid of one of his rigs, he gave it to me
and i stole the gpu, and upgraded mine
interesting, i've never really looked into cryptocurrency much
idk what the next upgrade to my PC will be
I kinda want some nice custom cables and to re-do the cable management
but then I could probably also do with a bigger SSD for games and such
or I could maybe buy a new mouse, or save up
I don't think anyone in this conversation is in the market for a new PC
i already looked into ryzen for my next buid
im going with ryzen 5 2600
for my streaming pc
what's your budget
dont have one
When you say streaming PC, is it a second system to do all the encoding/rendering etc?
so threadrippers and 2080 tis are fair game?
ooo fancy
or you just dont know your limit?
yes but i dont need those im getting a ryzen 5 2600 and a 1660s
should be plenty, even for just 1080p60fps
if you dont have a limit on your budget
im doign 1440 60
why are you taking those parts
well trying to
150
I'm pretty sure everyone here can make their own parts list
aight, give me a minute
thats a bit long or 1 list lol
I'm trying to think off the top of my head
1500 is probably good for a 3700X, x570 board, 500gb SSD, 1tb HDD, decent case, and then yeah a 2060/70 or so
corsair case
going slight over on a psu is good, when it comes down to it, the more power the better so a 700 would be perfect
but a 650 aswell
if we arent going over
lmaooo i guessed the cpu and gpu
ew no rgb ram or fans?
Apart from, well, nothing is absolute
ew no rgb ram or fans?
@delicate schooner i mean
i need it to be fabulous
i can edit that
seriously though, needs some custom cables made from rare wool or something
bruh
just do some cable managing
that usually helps a lot, no need to buy special cables lol
I cut my finger open when opening a parcel before
but yeah. if you got the budget go for the system i recomennded you
ran my finger along the seam of the parcel, and wel it sliced my skin
it was a cardboard package
also question, its a bit offtopic but are you a furry milkshake?
ah, paper cuts
Cardboard cuts
also question, its a bit offtopic but are you a furry milkshake?
@delicate schooner look at my pfp
i see that
couldnt you tell im a scalie smh
im assuming its a yes
ditto
I'm just gonna, leave now...
tis expected
im not gonna be comitting anything
yeah yeah all's fun
on what
and it scares me everyday that they will find out
tiktok
i have 18k on twitch
that's a lot of followers, I probably have like, 22 subs on YT
ok
only 1k on yt
and i think around 13 on twitch
im getting a 2070 super for like 30% off soon
fuc yea borther
since im a business partner with newegg
nicenice
damn, making moves
mogul moves
im glad im not that much of a wh0re for rgb
oh i am
i mean i like a bit of bling, but i dont want just circles of lights
i have an RGB ssd
heresy.
and an rgb monitor
thefuc is that
the most rgb ill have in my dream system is a bit on the mobo, the cpu cooler, the ram and a bit of the gpu
but no more
Reason: Bad word usage
im getting rgb sleeves for my tubes on my aio soon
