If that's really your only option I would highly recommend looking on eBay/Craigslist and some other online marketplaces for an RX580. My friend got a brand new one off eBay for around $100 after his old GTX970 blew up on him lol

Your best interest would probably be to upgrade your GPU, then again I'm no expert with hardware

I've had it for 4/5 years. Haven't needed to upgrade, but with the recent releases I think it will start struggling. Especially when Cyberpunk 2077 comes out
hearty ravine
if you have the extra money and depending on what you have storage wise now, you can always look into getting an SSD that's compatible with your motherboard too
extra storage is always 10/10

My Setup:

static pecan
@wispy kiln the CPU and RAM are still good and will be for another few years (although I would recommend OCing the CPU once you begin to notice slow downs with it). The GPU is pretty much the only part that needs an upgrade
The general rule of thumb I've always heard about and used it to upgrade your GPU every 4-5 years and your CPU every 8-10 years. Especially if you're only really gaming, games take quite a long time to take advantage of new CPU tech. For instance, only a few years ago did they start really taking advantage of quad core CPUs lol

ahh well i only have self learned stuff so i dont know if i will go into it farther than as a hobby
me sitting here with DaVinci Resolve
median rivet
We use DaVinci too for colour grading, then we move over into Avid which is a hellhole of a programme
median rivet
Ahahaha no one can afford avid for personal uses
muted viper
i might subscribe to AE if i get better at filmaking
median rivet
Avid is for like fullblown productions that you see on Netflix, all the files are stored in an onsite server that everyone has access to at the same time
muted viper
but still i dont wanna pay adobe tax
median rivet
I'm complete trash at editing everything that isn't a TV Show, the edits you see on gaming videos and in shows are surprisingly different
muted viper
how?
median rivet
I'm more of a colour gradist/composer which means I make sure the colours are right and then throw the shots into the timeline in an order that makes sense, gaming videos are more for short term entertainment as compared to trying to keep an audience for the full hour so cuts are quick and stuff
I'm used to seeing those slates that you see in behind the scenes videos that show the exact version to use
muted viper
i have to learn all those areas because i want to be self sufficient rather decent at almost everything than perfect at one thing
median rivet
What kind of videos do you want to make?
muted viper
short films music gaming pretty much whatever i can
median rivet
Honestly you'll be fine using DaVinci if you're working alone, the reason people use Adobe is because the programmes they offer all link back together
muted viper
i mean NOW im working alone but i intend to expand if i improve
median rivet
Adobe makes it easier for people to work together, which you don't see with DaVinci, and then Avid makes that even easier (but please for your own sanity never use avid)
muted viper
yeah my sanity and my need to buy anything else
davici has a built in VFX program as to how good it is idk also they have project servers which i believe allows collaboration
median rivet
That's basically what Avid does
muted viper
cool

I did try the other day to make a sort of gaming video but it was just awful imo

I'm pretty sure there are a few reds on site that we can take out, but we mostly used panasonic for the first year
median rivet
Ahaha yeah, we're allowed to take all the equipment out and about
median rivet
We get set a few like films we have to make throughout the year, and they allocate us kit for that, and then we can take it out for ourselves to film our own stuff for fun
muted viper
imagine being able to just walk into a building and walk out with a $20,000 camera (assuming they are dragon-x) that you can use for a while
and pay nothing except that tuition dangit
median rivet
Nah, it's mostly Panasonics that they have in there - I get access to more expensive cameras as I progress through the years at uni
median rivet
Ahahaha nah, Panasonics are just industry standard
So like Netflix can use reds because they basically have unlimited budget
median rivet
I actually don't know tbf
muted viper
at least spec to spec
i mean Panasonic pioneered some of the industry standard sensor sizes i think
but others made them cheaper
median rivet
I don't really know much about the specifics I just know how to use them aha
muted viper
yeah because you dont have to buy it
i would tho as a small company or freelancer
so i need to figure this out asap
stuck bluff
I was always under the impression that Sony was an industry standard
muted viper
i mean they make good cameras
alot of smaller filmmakers use them because they are pretty much the best non cinema cameras you can get
i think
median rivet
We use Panasonic 160 and 90 cameras for the first year when on location - I couldn't tell you what we use in the studio
stuck bluff
To be fair I do photography as a hobby and uze a Panasonic fz82 camera and it's pretty lovely. But I imagine the higher end stuff is awesome to work with.
Would love to do videography, editting and stuff like that
median rivet
Ahaha because the uni closed (Coronavirus :() I had to use my old canon dslr to shoot for part of a psc
It has nothing on the high-end stuff
median rivet
I have a DJI Ronin-SC tbf which is amazing, but need to pick up a mirrorless camera to actually make the most of it
The annoying thing with the field I'm going into is that robots are taking over the camera roles
median rivet
The high end sony cameras are leading the photography side of things atm I think
muted viper
100/102 megapixel i want one
imagine actualy having that
those prices are reasonable with the panasonic cameras you were using
mostly used but when you see one thats not used it fits fairly well into what youd expect to pay for that type of camera imo
sure there are some cheaper and better
median rivet
Yeah, each year into uni we get access to better cameras
muted viper
because the uni buys better cameras 😄
now i must try to make a gaming video to impress the pro video guy
median rivet
Ahaha I probably have nothing on you when it comes to gaming videos
muted viper
ahaha i should show you one i made back when i still used Windows movie maker or lightworks
you'd change your mind then

My friend has the exact model and i've played a few rounds on Valorant last time I was over. Two thumbs up! @lavish kraken
It's awesome to see the price of 144hz monitors come down to reality the last few years.
noble oak
@dark linden literally every mouse has good sensors at this point and u wont tell the difference. Having 12,000 cpi at your disposal doesn't make the mouse better when ur probably only going to be using 500(They both have max 12,000 cpi). The only reason why i got the rival was cause of the extra side keys. But the downfall of the mouse comes to its click. Its something most reviews wont tell you. Its harder/longer to press the rival left and right click compared to the g403. To test this I did a reaction time test multiple times, from an average of 20 trials on the g403 i got an average of 182ish ms and the rival 600. Btw you can also tell by carefully cliking side by side. And the other thing is that the way the rival s/n is located it fades very fast making it hard for customer support. White the g403 has it on the inside printed on. To this day my G403(3 years old) s/n is crystal clear while my replaced rival's s/n is the only thing faded out( i replaced this since it had issues and still has some). I beleive its cause of the material its printed on. By all means you can get the rival, but in my aim the logitech and rival felt the same and the lighter weight helped
dark linden
@noble oak I honestly feel the difference between the different IPS from mouse to mouse, it's not just a matter of DPI: lift off distance, tilt tracking, deviance at 400DPI, 800DPI and 1600DPI, feeling of the clicks. I used the G403 and I was making mistakes at 800DPI with the Logitech, I had to get used to the mouse again coming from my (at the time) Rival 600, now I use the Sensei Ten because the improvement in those aspects, plus the weight, is real to me.
I need to forget about the mouse without thinking on how I lift it or how fast my arm is moving. So for me it's not the same thing as much as everyone wants to believe...
noble oak
@dark linden its opinion, some factors might be more critical to you, while less for me, after all, thats why their are diffrent kinds of mouse
oh yeah how is the sensei 10 compared to the rival cause I was gunna return my rival
dark linden
@noble oak sure, that's why I never suggest paracord mods to other users or just lighter mice. I think everyone should try on its own and pick up what fits the best. It's easy to make someone else waste money with the easy suggestion, consider that most of my friends don't use SteelSeries gear because that's not what Reddit says is better...lol their loss, I try then I buy...and I enjoy the experience in the meantime 🙂
dark linden
oh yeah how is the sensei 10 compared to the rival cause I was gunna return my rival
@noble oak The Sensei Ten is a classic. I owned an OG Sensei for 7 years and honestly I am still not able to find a more comfortable mouse for claw gripping with a hand which is the size of mine (21x12.4cm)! Being ambidextrous is a big plus for me, the mouse is made of high quality ABS plastic and the new sensor (which doesn't need an additional optic for the lift off) makes the mouse lighter and more balanced under my hand. The right and left click are crispier and need less force than the Rival to be pressed. The side buttons are in the right place while the mouse wheel is a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the mouse.
The new sensor at 800DPI seems to track a bit better the stops after huge movements, I honestly think less about where I am on the mouse pad and this helps me a lot during sniper vs sniper on Overwatch :P
The tilt tracking is really great, I can just barely lift the mouse on one side and move it without having the pointer to go crazy. I use it with a mouse bungee, I think it's the best way to use it, considering the rubber cable, but being the cable made of soft rubber it becomes almost non existent and loses rigidity after a few days.
noble oak
is it the same rubber cable for the rival
dark linden
It feels like an improvement to me, under almost every aspect. It's also lighter than the Rival 600. In a next revision I would just improve the mouse wheel and lower the weight in the range of [77g, 82g].
dark linden
Yes, it's the same type of rubber but it's not detachable. But if you're interested in modding it looks like it's easy enough to mod...
noble oak
k
i hope i can return my rival
but
s/n
is the only thing completly faded out
im gunna see
dark linden
Mmm...I don't know if I would recommend the paracord cable, honestly with a bungee I don't even realize the mouse has a cable, I think that's down to personal taste and feel! 👍
noble oak
i dont have a bungee though
hearty ravine

There's a good deal on a 240hz gsync compatible IPS atm over on Dell if anyone is interested in that kind of hardware (£329) which is still pricey but less than TN panels of same spec

what a good 1000$ build and 1500$
@noble oak yo
tbh
gpu you should look for if doing 1000 build is a 2070/2060 super
if you buy used
you can squeeze in a 2070 super
for 1.5k, try to get a 2080 super i believe
I mean
If you go ultra cheapskate maybe you can somehow fit a 2080ti, maayyybe
but that's not rlly gonna happen for the most part so eh
try buying used

I love how you can get those GPUs for that much in US - They're stupidly priced here in UK

Do you have a 2nd gen amd processor?
If so you can use that and update the bios of the motherboard, and replace the second gen amd chip with the 3700x

guys, quick question, do i need an anti static mat when building my pc?
ping me to let me know
strong pewter
I've built a couple before without one. An antistatic wrist strap should be fine. But if you can get the mat, it also helps
noble oak
so do i need it?
@strong pewter
im a first time builder
i need all the helpful important tips i can
strong pewter
Imo if you're new to PC building, I'd say go for it, it'll reduce likelihood of static discharges ruining sensitive components
static pecan
It's not a requirement and you're probably fine without it, but if you can't get an anti static mat or wrist strap then at least have a piece of metal or something that you can grab onto for a few seconds before touching parts because that will also help get rid of any lingering static @noble oak
Also for first time builders it definitely helps to follow along with a build guide on YouTube from a channel like LinusTechTips because they give you visual guides for how to properly put together each component and also have helpful tips that'll make your building easier
median rivet
Yeah, I'd say get a strap - They're pretty cheap and it's always better to add some more protection

I'm pretty sure AMD boards support XMP anyway, but either way it should still work fine @lavish kraken
XMP is just a pre-applied overclock to the RAM that you can set in the mobo bios

u should be good for most games in 1080p
noble oak
You mean stretched?
static pecan
The 5700XT is pretty much made for 1440p, but to really take advantage of it in AAA games on ultra you might need to upgrade the CPU. Not really sure tbh but for the games you play the most that build should be good with 1440 for future proofing
ultra wide is basically just personal preference honestly

do pc parts ever arrive faulty
static pecan
They can but it's unlikely. If a part arrives and doesn't work as intended just contact the manufacturer and they'll get you a replacement
hushed radish
Umm.
If the PC won't turn on that means something is wrong with the power supply.
Or something isnt connected correctly
static pecan
If the PC doesn't post at all that means the PSU is bad or you didn't plug in a cable correctly, but if the PC posts then the mobo should give you an error code telling you what's wrong with it
static pecan
Lol I remember when I built my first PC I forgot to plug in the power connector to the drive so when I went into the BIOS I wondered why it wasn't detecting my drive
stuck bluff
Check all the cables, ensure you've got a high enough wattage on the PSU, check that there's no damage to the PSU. Or check to make sure that you've plugged the power button in.

If you're gonna be gaming don't get 60hz monitors lol
Go for at least 120hz
Especially with a 2060. You'll be able to run AAA games on high/ultra and get 100-120 fps
Also if you aren't planning on overclocking the CPU you could get a 2600 and save a few bucks
golden ocean
240hz is more on the affordable side, but the games that benefit from it is very narrow, and the competitive scene on all games still uses 144hz

Yeah, I decided to invest a bit more. I could've gotten something weaker for $400 less, but I just decided this was a better choice
it will push through more and last a lot longer
