they look like this
but past that it's kinda pointless
they're sickleflows, better fans than the mf120r's
Are PCs powerful enough to play next gen console games or will we have to wait? Sorry I’m not that well educated on PCs.
and putting it in the first slot at the top actually will reduce your cooling potential
since it'll suck cold air from the intakes up and out
@ebon jolt short answer, yes
pricing tbd, we don't really know how powerful the next gen consoles are
but the next generation of gpus is coming out soon and those will 100% match or surpass console power, or i'll eat a sock
generally console games and hardware is more optimized, but not more powerful
Oh cool lol
i still think you don't need the extra fans
maybe one extra 120mm as exhaust
alternatively, save that $50 on the fans, buy the p500a over the p400a, get one extra 140mm exhaust fan
wow the p500a is wider than it looks
it's technically dual system compatible
you probably shouldn't use it, but that's probably why
it also has like an inch of room on the back panel
this fan setup 
the top fan near the front is badddd
thank you guys for the advice!
brrr
this is all the stuff im going to end up buying, rip https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cpykhg
it sucks!
thanks
alright jk gonna look at it now

oh forgot to add it back in LUL
see i was right, it sucks
going 2 get a 2070 super
overpriced aio ahem what
no its ok i want like actual feedback LUL
AIO only good for looks
you said your budget was around 2k?
i was going to get a fractal AIO but im trying to avoid ordering online as much as possible
@unborn kiln not entirely
evga clc
ek aio
arctic freezer ii
Lmao the temperature is bi
@unborn kiln not entirely
@crimson scroll You can get a better preforming one for cheaper
Arctic freezer for example
Performance is pretty good tho
at least it's not z series
its actually not for editing im going to end up streaming but dont want to deal with a 2 pc set up
oh i thought you meant AIOs in general were useless
i concur that the kraken lineup isn't great perf/price
its actually not for editing im going to end up streaming but dont want to deal with a 2 pc set up
two pc set ups are getting pretty meh now that h.264 is evolving
and nvenc
Yeah
AIOs are def useful in certain cases
the sn750 jumped in price again 😦
so basically
he's talking about encoding
oh ok
i know 0 about the technical aspects of what makes a pc good, i just kind of go "oh this expensive? must be at least ok then"
Lmao
and considering my budget is phat im just throwing money at stuff
you want rgb?
same klex, same
or don't want it
i want it, i want the most rainbow everywhere
isn't steel legend always somehow worse than pro4?
ok
wonder if it's the same this time
@hearty ravine
If you are doing videos
For long term storage I would probably get a hard drive
Unless you have a NAS or something
tfw Pro4 looks more like Steel Legend than Steel Legend
all these 2070s don't have prices and i'm too lazy to find them all
Nvme is faster and smaller
@noble oak SATA and NVME are data protocols
whats the difference between a normal ssd and an nvme im an idiot
@noble oak Basically NVMe is faster
m.2 is a form factor
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Yp8L2 @hearty ravine
ayy gaming oc
now, if you wanted FULL RGB then we go with the EK AIO 360 over the arctic liquid
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Yp8L2 @hearty ravine
@crimson scroll Perfect
and i would also slap on a 140mm exhaust fan
it gives you the option for more RGB
i love the arctic freezer ii but the block looks like a sock 
and also more cooling i guess lol
What’s the best gpu that the Ryzen 5 3600 wouldn’t bottleneck
you did that so fast
I took some of what you already had
What’s the best gpu that the Ryzen 5 3600 wouldn’t bottleneck
at what resolution/refresh rate?
1080p 144hz
i mean once you turn rtx on even a 2080ti will bottleneck the 3600
how soon are you buying klexos
@naive dagger Budget?
hopefully in twoish months, depends on if anything comes up
I’m being hypothetical
might be buying a house so if i do then pc takes a back seat
that list will likely be outdated by then so come on back
Personally I wouldn't worry too much about a bottleneck on the 3600 @naive dagger
absolutely insane, ty saucy
np
What do you currently have?
I’m not anywhere near upgrading, just wondering
@naive dagger
depends on the configuration and price @noble oak
is the helios 300 a good gaming laptop
@noble oak Why laptop
Do you need portability?
acer's site is trash
Ryzen 5 3600, rog rx 570 8gb, 16gb ddr4 2400 MHz ram (;-;) asrock b450 fatal1ty mobo, evga 500w psu,
bunch of marketing, no way to actually build and buy
the build i want: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RafeeSamith/saved/#view=vf8ZwP
the build i have: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/RafeeSamith/saved/#view=NC2xsY
wait why is that list so overpriced
Lmaooo
Wtf is going on with those lists😂
for a gaming laptop, it seems okay @noble oak
low on storage though, you'll want to swap it out
i don't know how it stacks up against other gaming laptops either
not my area of expertise
i like shape_ideal's pc
the 1200 one i looked at has a 1660ti
@noble oak Whats you budget?
Id probably do that
if i spend 100$ over the budget than i can probably get the model with an rtx 2070 and a 240hz screen
@noble oak
i like shape_ideal's pc
@crimson scroll he got the x370 pro4 for $83 :p
and it came flashed with 3rd gen bios
talk about lucky
nice
sheesh the ram price shot up too lmao
remember when you could get the sn750 for $120
it's gone D:
i found something pretty interesting on amazon once
it was a wd SN730 240gb, for like $42
seemed to be an OEM SN750
makes sense
the laptops i get as hand me downs all have pm851 or similar
which is the enterprise oem evo 860 i think
hah they're cute
I am thinking of building a NAS system
I am a proud Data Hoarder
this is the best part of building pcs
you get random screwdrivers that are nicer than half the screwdrivers you find at menards
even comes pre-magnetized
with the fuma 2 yep
i like your keyboard
tyty
YOOOO the duck keycap 
Uh probably the wrong spot. Hi I am looking at buying a desk I am really really really wanting one w/ cabinets. I found a perfect one on Ikea but it is 29 inches tall and that is way to short, anyone have any ideas? The desk in the picture is the one I have been lookin' for. I could probably go to a cabinet on just one side, but think I'd rather both because it looks better
you could just buy two ALEX drawers and your own wood for a countertop
oh nvm this is an ALEX LINNMON
need help[
thought you were talking about length mb
I got a rtx 2080
And I want o know how to install it
and this fan came out
is it broken
Sorry, Rafee, I might have worded it weird. I am searching for Taller, as I am a taller dude.
nah i just can't read sometimes lol
found a taller drawer but it's too tall
heelp
Haha yeah that seemed to be the issue, either too tall, or too small. couldn't find that happy medium
@spare egret pictures please of what the gpu looks like now
okay
yes, haha, you posted it twice
that's...not how that works
please don't create random hypotheticals, it takes away from people who actually need help
get a 2070 super or wait for 30 series
im at school see ya
damn 12 year olds
same
...

@naive dagger please don't joke about ages, as it is against Discord TOS.
Oh rip

is it ok to put a normal fan into the cpu fan plug
A case fan?
you could, but then you'll have to plug the cpu fan somewhere else
unless you have a passively cooled cpu
any fan? what about a ceiling fan?
the only way it wouldn't work is if you have a six pin argb fan
if it's 3 or 4 pin pwm then it will work
you could, but then you'll have to plug the cpu fan somewhere else
@crimson scroll i have 2 cpu cooler plugs
usually one for fans and one for pump
or your motherboard may just be accounting for multi-fan cooling setups without fan splitters
But can i plug it in there
I'd say no for newer titles
try to go for 16gb
Anyone switch from a g502 hero to the rival 600? Good or bad switch? I'm getting the double clicking issue on the g502, second mouse replacement. I'm done with logitech.
@ ping me if you have a response. Muting.
Rival 600 is more ergonomic
Obvs more rgb, if you care about that
Fewer buttons
I have friends who’ve switched and preferred it
@nocturne kite
id say the side grips falling off
or moving out of place
otherwise ive had zero problems with it
and you can buy replacement side grips
Would anyone be able to help me figure out the parts for a pc meant for streaming, gaming, and illustration work? I have a budget of 800 for the tower itself, as well as camera and mic.
I may also have more funds come October to upgrade the tower so I can afford to cheap out until then. I just want to be able to play games at 1080p or higher without frame loss
Usd?
And by illustration work do you just mean photoshop/gimp/illustrator or more rendering
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Rcph4n well you never answered, but i would sell the mobo and cpu together and get a 3700x once you have more funds. Then work on upgrading the PSU, then GPU. That would be my upgrade path, while throwing in a hard drive when you need more storage for your art/games
wow the b550 hdv is not bad as i thought
3 phases but same mosfets as b450m-vdh v1
actually wait
one of the mosfets
Got my new case

@noble oak i'd change everything
@noble oak you need a graphics card if you wanna game with your pc
is there a motherboard with like 6-8 usb slots that fits in a mid tower with a AM4 Socket?
ok
bronze is fine
is there a difference
is 80 plus bronze a good effiency
@hollow glacier efficiencies don't really matter
i think.
oh
the specific unit does
is gold 650w a good power source?
ok
what's your budget for a psu?
wait I will post a link
is gold 650w a good power source?
which one exactly?
BR, nah
how about that
can somone help me?
what cpu and gpu are you powering?
is there a motherboard with like 6-8 usb slots that fits in a mid tower with a AM4 Socket?
@atomic dust lemme look one up for you, what's your budget?
you only need like 550w, get a better 550w power supply instead of a 700w that lacks protections
but id make it 1600-1800
that's good
ok
wiat look at my whole build just to make sure the powersupply is good enough
its more of a workstation
ok so
and i need a new board.
this is my parts list: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/rdhanekula/saved/#view=XGdqmG
@atomic dust give me a sec i have a lot on my plate rn
is this a good power supply
Corsair CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
or should I get EVGA BQ 600 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
this is my list
look around you can do what you want with it rate it judge it i dont personally care
wait so 550 is just enough or more than enough
I just want to make sure
for future upgrades
pc uses like 400w

i there any thing I can do to bring my cost down more preferabbly to $1350 range or lower without changing the cpu, gpu, or case
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/moviecon/saved/#view=jv8p23 is this your list? @hollow glacier
@hollow glacier probably downgrade the motherboard, btw change the ssd
i need a port for it
that's a QLC SSD which doesn't like living with windows
to waht ssd
@hollow glacier take the m.2 out, get a 1-2tb hdd and a ssd
how do i transfer my windows 10 data and everything to my new pc?
If possible clean install
without reinstalling everything
you can get a cheaper motherboard @hollow glacier
is there a recommended ssd
i have important things on my ssd tho
how about the wd blue digital nvme
sn550?
i have important things on my ssd tho
@atomic dust You can move files over
Clean install os
no
and this as an ssd
do not get that ssd
ok
my cousin has it lmao
want planning on it
uhh soo
wasnt planning on it
that's even worse 
how so ðŸ˜
how so ðŸ˜
@noble oak QLC SSD, DRAMess
whats a good 1650 super upgrade
rafee recommend one since u turing down everything
need a usb 8gb+
p h i s o n s 1 1 controller
i need a full version.
aka suicidal boi
and you can buy a key on ebay
@atomic dust https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
@noble oak Beat me too it😂
ive bought keys for like 2$

@noble oak Beat me too it😂
@unborn kiln fast fingers
il rather get the key from microsfot
rafee recommend one since u turing down everything
@hollow glacier https://pcpartpicker.com/product/c9jJ7P/team-t-force-vulcan-500-gb-25-solid-state-drive-t253tv500g3c301
soft*
Yeah, just get an OEM key from online somewhere
and the $55 2tb hdd
what's a good upgrade for 1650 super
CPU?
gpu
Smh what cpu do you have lol
what budget?
i can get the key for 25$ from microsoft
i have a 3700x with a 2060 super 
ok
r6 valorant ryzen 5 3600
is it true that newweg has no tax in texas
3090
and
r6 valorant ryzen 5 3600
@red shale Ok and budget?
does anyone know the price?
and also, internal storage is extremely cheap rn for some reason
is it true that newweg has no tax in texas
but shoot up instantly
@atomic dust they are announcing today, so keep and eye out
budget around 350
maybe like 10%
@devout wolf 40$ off a 400$ gpu, good enough lmao
uhh how much will the 3090 cost?
and also, internal storage is extremely cheap rn for some reason
that reason is oversupply of NAND, it's affecting RAM prices too
@red shale rx 5700 possibly
@atomic dust they are announcing today, so keep an eye out
Money is money
@devout wolf 40$ off a 400$ gpu, good enough lmao
yeah that's fine
People will be selling old cards on ebay too
probably like 500-700$
Perfectly fine to buy
probably like 500-700$
not even close
@devout wolf im debating, should i get the rx 5700xt or keep my 2060 super
it will be over $1200
WOT
@red shale Id say looking within 2060/70
@devout wolf im debating, should i get the rx 5700xt or keep my 2060 super
5700xt isn't that much of an upgrade from the 2060S, i'd say keep your 2060 super
what will be like in the 700 range?
WOT
@atomic dust the 2080Ti was $1200
@devout wolf but its cheaper lmao
@red shale Id say looking within 2060/70
@unborn kiln ok thx
no one knows
just wait 2.5 hours for the official announcement
like my enitre tablet costs allmost 1200$
is there tax in texas on newweg
i guess ¯_(ツ)_/¯
let me see how much a 2080 is in germany
@atomic dust wait you're in germany?
@red shale not unless you steal it 
Feelsbad when the gpus in america will be $1200, but also £1200 which is $1600 equivalent
lol
oof i have to remake the list in http://de.pcpartpicker.com
@red shale Could possibly go for the 5700 xt aswell
yes
i have to change some parts since pricing in countries are different
uhm could you send your list back here i'm too lazy to scroll
Should I bump myself up to 32GB of ram with this drop in price?
I've got 4x4s atm so I'd have to buy 2x16s straight up
how much is tax rate for newweg in texas
@atomic dust https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/FxX2p8
@noble oak i'd change everything
@devout wolf
Fr?
yeah, i'll make a list from scratch
alr dude, what would reccomended?
what's your budget?
how much is tax rate for newweg in texas
@hollow glacier just check by going the the cart
@hollow glacier i dont get the issue
well I'm trying to build a PC from like 700-800 dollars
gaming
first time btw
are you going to be streaming or doing any content creation?
occasionally streaming- but definitely not focused on streaming, no
bro where it says sub total
okay
or content creation in general
it should be there
i dont think every store has the same tax rdhanekula
bro its not goping to be over that tho so just try
@hollow glacier check dms
@noble oak oh and last question, what games are you going to be playing?
Overwatch, Rainbow Six Seige, Minecraft (Java), GTA V, Fall Guys, Rocket League, and Apex Legends (maybe Warzone too)
okay gotchu
ty for helping me
np
do you alredy have some peripherals cause those can be pricy
oh and one more thing, im not really looking to spend more than 1,200 on the whole thing, including monitor, keyboard, etc
@noble oak https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8WVB8M
np 
ok so the last thing I need help with is a monitor
I'm looking for a cheap one that will do the job
how many hz and res
120hz, what rez would you recommend?
well its preference
same
how much have you allocated for the monitor then
what peripherals are you planning on getting like keyboard mouse mousepad and headset
better be steelseries >:|
noice
i gotchu
i'll put peripherals in the list too to make sure it doesn't go over 1200
ok
also pls don't mind the @ when i post the list i put it there so i can find the list easier
alr
i found this one
its the one i use
i have that one too
lol
lol
there is a viotek 144hz monitor for $140 but their qc is pretty bad
it's only 60hz tho..
oof
please get 144hz
okay phew list doesn't cross 1200
alr
@noble oak no apex 5 on pcpp https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MVdFcq
you're a living legend do you know that
but saucy is a butt
you flatter me
so what's the context of that build?
any reason we're going 2600
3300x then? unless they need the extra cores for something
gotta search for it
oh, lame
the 10100 really needs to come down in price too
i agree
all i do is recommend the 3300x and 3600 and 3700x
Facts 😂
pp
is cpu thermal paste compulsory
is it easy to build a pc? wut do you do if you mess up?
im looking to build my first pc in december, so i just wanna get a heads up on wut to expect
Budget?
@noble oak
Get 3600mhz RAM
to wut?
I will need to go check the current prices
Will get back to you
I was wondering the same thing
with the 3080
https://discordapp.com/channels/299040363123965952/502509259699781632/750392044547211304
Here is the diagram from the stream
we have the same exact build lol
theehee
the same exact
not rlly
if you want compare
9?
oh
either a 3070 or a 3080
i dont think you sent the latest list
okay?
it shows ryzen 7 3700x
i think you should go with the 3080 if it is in your price range
yea
im gonna
its only 63 eur and some cents over my budget
so i dont really care
so its gonna come out september 17?
idk
yup
Yo, so i plan on making a pc or just straight up buying it, just a question, is the intel core i5 9600k a good cpu?
Intel is a meme in general
I was gonna strip my 9600k to a 9900k because I don't want to blow money on a new motherboard too but people just trash on the 9900k these days
@devout wolf sorry for the ping but, as for the parts you suggested, should I worry about fans?
not really, you can move one of the included fans to the back for neutral pressure
sure, it's an amazing deal
definetly
only like
185 euro differnence
and its only 63 euro and some cents over my budget
with your parts list
thank you my brotha
should i sell my 2070s for big navi or ampere
Sell your 20 series GPUs as fast as you can - They're dead
rip 2080ti damn
ok LAST thing I need is a cheap desk. suggestions? This might be the wrong place to ask but oh well
should i get the rtx 3070 when it comes out or the 3080?
Seeing as some of you lot are smarter than me - Does having PCIE 3 on my motherboard mean I'll get less performance than on PCIE 4 for the 30 series? Seeing as they use PCIE 4? Or does it mean it's completely unusable
less performance
pcie devices are cross compatible across versions
only difference being bandwidth
Saving grace - So basically it's still worth getting a 30 series without upgrading my motherboard first?
but tbh
i think only 3090 will utilize 4.0
the others will support 4.0 but i don't think there will be much of a drop in perf on 3.0
I guess we'll find out when reviewers get ahold of them
Can anyone help me?
depends
don't ask to ask, just ask your question
my budget is $1400-1500 but can go over if i get a good deal
Why is it yellow
because he turned into spongebob
should i get the rtx 3070 when it comes out or the 3080?
@noble oak how much are they?
$499 and $699 respectively
the rtx 3070 is $499
for the FE variants
yeah
Is there much point to get the 3080 over the 70
i am planning on getting the 2070 s rn but i just wanna listen to y'alls opinion
i would say the 3070 because its cheaper and you can spend the rest on other things
you probably cant see a difference between the 2 but then again ive never seen both in action
Ree
same
I would wait till amd releases rdna 2 because prices might go down even further depending on how good it is
or they might go up lmao
i’m trying to build a pc as the new rtx are coming out so can someone explain to me what this means
don't really have to worry about that now but at the same time, do not get 9th gen intel, period.
why not
so what should i get instead
10th gen intel
a 9900k is about equal to the 10700k, so it's not a bad chip
or ryzen
depends on what you're doing
2 - 2.5k
usd?
yea
okay and use case
what’s case
what are you going to be using the pc for
what are you going to be using the computer for
Oh i’m using my pc for gaming, streaming and editing mostly
but basically content creating
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mGmRZf pretend that's a 3080
or put in a 2080ti, they're going for around 5-600 used right now
freezer ii 
btw you can get amazing deals on EVGA CLCs if you yoink them at midweek madness
wait is intel or amd better
depends on what you're doing
for your use case, generally amd
if you're just gaming, or certain applications like premiere (depending on your price range), intel
also the 3090 is not much better than the 3080 right?
we don't know
i wouldn't buy until we get third party reviews
and also stock will be limited
you have good options for the gpu slot right now honestly
so i should wait for reviews on 3080
on all the new cards, yeah
do they eventually restock or no
😂
also rdna2 comes out supposedly november, but if the 3000 cards are good, there's not really a point to waiting
ty for your help
3080 will be available 9/17, 3070 available in October, and 3090 available 9/24
so around two weeks wait, if you manage to get one of the launch cards
and review embargo should be lifted before then
ok
imagine the sag you'll get with the gigabyte xtreme 3090
it looks like it's 3.5 slots at minimum
something to rest your drink on while gaming
also does it seriously have that stupid screen on it for temps?
I think the screen is pretty cool
Nice addition, I am sure you could turn it off
I would love to know my gpu temps in game
there's software and stuff for that
maybe this is the true advantage of having a glass panel that ill never understand
Mainly for ascetics
Really not much benefit
yeah im indifferent when it comes to pc ascetics
how it preforms is what matters more
dont care about dumb lights
I agree with you to a point
But it just boils down to personal preference..
Tbh its harder to find a case without tempered glass now a days
From my personal experience tempered glass chassis work out cheaper most of the time
Then there is no point not getting one.
hopefully i get a new job soon
cause i really want to save up and build a chad of a pc with like a titan or something
yknow real beefy
stupid rona makes it all hard n stuff
True True
ok...
please no meme builds
unless you're serious in which case, that's a pretty bad build in almost all use cases
no way it isnt a meme
inb4 this thing flops hard
unlikely
you don't want to fwait forever though
i'm curious as to what rdna2 has to offer
still
if the 3xxx is good, and value enough over 2xxx, then buy it
that's two months of use you'll get out of it by the time rdna2 comes out
you cant just wait forever
stuff is always coming out
exactly
parts should be viewed on a rolling scale of how long you use them anyways
i buy a 1080 for $260, sell it for $240 after 6 months-it cost me less than 3.50 a month
Really hoping RDNA2 has something to go up against at least the 3070 because at this point that's the card I'm eyeing the most for my end of the year build
Also waiting to see what Ryzen 4000 has and if it really does have a 50% increase in IPC then I might jump on that ship as well. We'll see
realization
The new cards were tested on an i9
So the RTX 30 benchmarks are on PCIe 3.0
OwO
Probably not, but that's just something we're going to have to wait for reviewers to actually test
imma get 4
Also would wait for Ryzen 4000
they are going to be sold out until October at minimum
True, but buying a 2080TI at this point is basically just torching money
There is no viable reason to
im going to get 6 then
I'll take your entire stock
ok
buying a 2080 ti is a smart idea
I agree
probably won't matter too much, at least for 3070/3080
@crimson scroll yeah but just goes to show it's not the end of the world running the cards on pcie 3.0
i might get a 3060
i just got an ibuypowere 9260
Hey everyone, my friend is trying to build a PC for 500. He already has a keyboard, mouse, etc. Can someone help me out?
2nd hand GPUs will be his best bet
Once you find one then I can help you with the remining amount
everything new but the gpu like Omar said, your best bet is somewhere around a 570 for 80 bucks
NR600 comes with 2 included
Ok generic question, I have a Dell G5 pre-built desktop, with an rtx 2060 super, does anyone know if the new nvidia 3070 will fit in it?
should just work ¯_(ツ)_/¯
actually, now that i see it. I'm not sure
it has a bracket made specifically for the 2060S
should i get this monitor?
https://www.newegg.com/black-acer-nitro-gaming-series-vg270u-pbmiipx-27/p/N82E16824011243
or should i wait for a better deal
that's pretty good
27" 1440p144 IPS for $300 is not bad at all
it doesn't drop to that frequently as you can see https://pcpartpicker.com/products/monitor/#sort=price&r=256001440&D=100000,280000&P=2
why here :(
Let's all dislike it kek
lelelel
No self promotion please @trim mountain :)
nr600
^^
p300a but you'll have to get more fans which will make it more expensive
hopefully the lian li 215 soon
215?
oh yeah that one
supposedly 70 and will have 2x200 in the front, 1x120 in the back
mhm
What kind of psu you think the 3080 will be needing?
All of them
~650w for FE but depends on CPU
I'd play it safe and just spring for an 850W tbh
Should I be picking up a new psu anyway if mine is like 6 years old? lul
650w is playing it safe
Just because I'm also planning on getting whatever the new 12 core R4000 CPU is as well
keep in mind that
4000 series will be a smaller architecture
so power draw will be less/same
same for 30 series
If I've had my psu since late 2016 should I pick up a new one or should it be chill?
Also true, but atm PSU prices suck anyways so in some cases 850W is cheaper than 650W lol
well
you don't want a crappy 850 over a decent 650
If I've had my psu since late 2016 should I pick up a new one or should it be chill?
@median rivet which psu is it?
CS Seriesâ„¢ Modular power supplies are ideal for basic desktop systems where low energy use, low noise, and simple installation are essential.
yeah i'd change it
