not great @elfin ember

#

The 9700k needs a better cooler

#

8gb ram is not great

#

better motherboard is a good idea

crimson scroll Nov 19, 2020, 2:45 AM

#

the 5600x beats out the 9900k in most games and the 5900x beats the 9900k in productivity and games

#

and yeah that's not a great build

#

9700k today is a bad idea unless you get it at the microcenter deal price of $200+20 off motherboard

#

also with a b365 you can't oc

gilded frost Nov 19, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

Swap with 5600x and take out the cooler, reduce the price of windows 10 to 15

#

Get an extra 8 gbs ram

#

I mean there would be no point in getting a 5600x with a 2060

So looking to build a pc for other half. Basically he will be using his xbox series x for playing his games and soley using his pc for live streaming and editing videos for YouTube among a few other normal email reading etc hes into rgb too lol looking for list of everything really to give him a decent build. At the moment he has:
Ryzen 5 2600
Gigabyte 570x
Asus prime B450m
16 gb of ram
Sharkoon elite case
Obviously loads of rgb fans lol
Any changes? Upgrades? Also want it to look nice without breaking the bank!!
Please remember this isn't to play games on other than maybe among us 😉

crimson scroll Nov 19, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

what's your budget

#

and what gpu do you currently have

#

oh i misread that, you have a rx 570x

#

okay, this is really up to how much you wanna spend then.

inland swallow Nov 19, 2020, 6:37 AM

#

@crimson scroll got about £1000 atm to spend but would like a little change left lol trying to do it cheapish his current one was around 400 - 450.

crimson scroll Nov 19, 2020, 6:39 AM

#

i'd go for something like a 5900x if you really wanna spend, 3700x/5600x if you don't, you can keep the b450m if you go with 3700x. the gpu might be a bit of a bottleneck when scrubbing through premiere or vega or whatever but it should work fine. If you're working with big video files, consider going 32gb instead of 16gb ram

#

most of the elite sharkoon cases look like they have mediocre airflow; you could get the p400a drgb for lots of rgb included fans, or something like the nr600 and swap in your current fans, not sure what model they are so performance is unknown but it should be good enough

#

3700x beats out the 5600x in transcode and if you go used they are around $200-250, new is around $300, should be similar in pounds

@crimson scroll ok that sounds like a good starting point. I could upgrade the amd was looking at ryzen 5. Do u think the graphics card would need an upgrade? Bearing in mind cod is run through xbox series x. Forgot to mention he has hp 27xq and another one similar 144hz monitors already. He is a cod player predominantly.

crimson scroll Nov 19, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

i think it's okay to keep for now on a budget, you could maybe look at selling it and upgrading to a used 1080/ti

#

going from the r5 2600 to the r7 3700x gives you 2/4 extra cores/threads for video editing

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ i recommend using this to keep track of your parts list, it can check for some compatibilities, checks prices on some large retailers, etc.

System Builder

inland swallow Nov 19, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

@crimson scroll 1080 ti or super better. Would he be better getting a gpu with nvidia encoder? Seen though he's treating or would cpu be ok once upgraded to cope with his cpu encoding only?

crimson scroll Nov 19, 2020, 6:52 AM

#

since you're using the pc as a stream machine only, the 3700x would be able to encode just fine (unless you happened to be running some video editing/rendering at the same time). The nvidia encoder is better than amd's, but on modern cards they'll both be plenty good enough

#

the 1080super doesn't exist, i was just throwing out the 1080 or 1080ti as potential gpus to look at that would be in your budget

#

overkill for among us on that PC for sure though

#

I'm gonna head off to bed but I check this pretty regularly so just post and i'm sure somebody will help you or i'll see it in the morning

hmm what is your budget?

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:06 PM

around $800 aud

#

give or take $100

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

100 for the cpu?

#

that's little low but okay

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

No I meant like $100 more/less than $800

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

ohhh haha okay

#

3300x is the best budget cpu but the only thing is 4 cores😬

#

it depends on which sort of games you want to play on it

#

for the price, the 3300x is a good processor but not for AAA titles

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

I was planning on playing lots of CS:GO and GTA V on decent graphics. I was also hoping it could run stuff like Forza Horizon 4 and Rainbow 6.

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

It will work but not look like "high graphics" or something

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Is there any better CPUs still around the budget range?

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Ryzen 5 3600 is a good one but clearly a lot more expensive

#

Hmm

#

I'm having crashes sometimes but that's because of my RAM i think

#

That motherboard has great reviews tho

#

Now you need a power supply and a graphics card

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

Does the CPU come with that stock cooler?

Yes

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Ah cool.

#

I think I can work with that. The bundle seems like a pretty decent price.

#

and just a question about the motherboard. Do I need to have a PC which fits the usb/other imput sockets for it?

#

Im very new to building a PC so im not too sure how you do it.

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Yes, if you can live with stock cooler (sometimes little noisy)

#

and just a question about the motherboard. Do I need to have a PC which fits the usb/other imput sockets for it?
@noble oak what do you mean by that?

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Wait, so you know how the PC has like usbs and HDMI imputs etc. Is that supplied from the motherboard directly or is it connected to the PC case to the motherboard.

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

The 3600 has NO integrated video signal, so you have to plug them into the graphics card

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

oh ok

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

The back of the pc is your motherboard, the front of the pc (the case) is connected to the case

#

Back ports are faster

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

ah ok that makes sense

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

And the case is also connected to the motherboard (with annoying tiny connectors)

#

Which are slower most of the Time

#

At the bottom of the motherboard there are some small connectors for the case (RGB and USB ports )

#

I have a 3700x on a b450 tomahawk with a 5700xt

noble oak Nov 19, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

What case do you have?

#

I was thinking of getting the DarkFlash DLM21 MESH White Micro ATX

#

does that fit the motherboard?

#

@finite badger ?

#

sorry for ping

finite badger Nov 19, 2020, 1:44 PM

Micro ATX case does not fit the motherboard

The only gripe I really have about it is that they didn't go with an RGB ring around the CPU block, they just made it a solid white, but since the pump design on the cooler is built into the tubes instead of on the rad I can plug the pump in separately from the LED on the CPU block so I can leave the LED off since I'm going for a black/purple color scheme

Meh AIO, would probably go 360 for a 5950X. Why are you going with a budget mobo for such a high end build? I personally wouldn't buy MSI because of what they do behind the scenes, but that's just personal choice. I don't want my money to support a shady company. Regardless, I would go X570 with that build. That SSD is extremely overpriced and for less than that you could get a 1TB Aorus, Corsair, or Sabrient PCIe Gen 4 drive. That case choice has pretty bad airflow and why the hell are you going 1080p with a 3090? At the very least you should be getting one high refresh rate 1440 monitor unless you already have one.

devout wolf Nov 23, 2020, 2:39 PM

Pretty sure anything besides Threadripper, that AMD (Ryzen) sells, is using an am4 socket. The most common are the Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 , and Ryzen 9. You also have several low market cpus that are used in most prominently school products such as chrome books or cheap laptops.

You don't need an AIO for a 2600. If you aren't doing any overclocking the stock cooler is more than adequate. If you're looking to save money then don't go with RGB RAM, especially not Vengeance. Look at kits from G Skill or Team Group for better quality and value. Why do you need 2 high refresh rate monitors? If you're only going to be gaming on one then you can get a cheaper secondary display. SSD is also overpriced. Look at the WD Blue SN550 instead. I would highly recommend at least a 500 watt PSU or 550 watt just to make sure you aren't putting too much strain on it when under load. You can find codes for Windows 10 cheaper online than buying it outright, but that's up to personal preference I guess. Same with my next point which is that I would personally avoid MSI because they have bad practices when it comes to independent reviewers and some other stuff like scalping their own GPUs, but again that's just personal preference.

noble oak Dec 1, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

I would save up a little more and get the ryzen 7 5800x tho

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

The 5800X is overall a terrible value though. If all you're doing is gaming then the 5600X is more than enough, and if you're doing any kind of productivity or creative work then the $100 step-up to the 12 core 5900X is pretty much a no brainer for a lot of people

#

Of course if we're talking in terms of current availability, then you can pretty much snag a 5800X off of Amazon at any time because no one wants them because of the terrible value lol

#

Not even scalpers want them anymore. That should tell you something

noble oak Dec 1, 2020, 1:16 AM

#

why is it a terrible value

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

Because 2 extra cores don't have a noticeable improvement in gaming performance and therefore there's no justifiable reason for spending $150 more than the 5600X, especially when an equivalent 8 core Intel CPU can be found for $20-$30 less than the 5800X and still get great gaming performance

#

The 5800X is just as bad value as the 3800X and 3800XT were.. It exists in a weird middle ground where its only real purpose is to get people to spend more money for equivalent performance to a cheaper CPU

Unless you need the 24GB of VRAM for like 3D modeling stuff or whatever then you might be better off with the rumored 3080TI if it actually becomes a thing sometime next year

The 3090 barely outperforms the 3080 as is, the 3080TI will most likely come pretty damn close to, if not match the gaming performance of the 3090 for a much better price/performance value

#

@noble oak If you want to waist $800 more on a 3090 for a few frames then be my guest, all I'm saying is wait for RX 6900XT and 3080 TI benchmarks first

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:47 AM

They obviously do lol. Have you seen any benchmarks at all? The RX cards get absolutely dunked on in RT lol

But honestly the performance hit from RT even on a 3080 and 3090 is still to great IMO to make it worth the kinda money Nvidia is charging for it

noble oak Dec 1, 2020, 1:48 AM

thats why i think nvidia justifies the higher price point of the cards

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:48 AM

But AMD also doesn't have their DLSS competitor out yet either which will improve the RT performance, but it will still fall behind 30 series

the price point is better then it was with the 2080ti

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:49 AM

#

im pretty sure thats why you see Nvidia RTX on certain games

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 1:54 AM

#

True, but even with DLSS it's still way too much of a performance hit for me to justify buying Nvidia over AMD

#

Especially when both of my Nvidia cards have been crap lol

#

My 970 blew up after like 3 years and nearly killed my system and the 1650 I got last year died after 7 months and had to get it RMAd

#

Meanwhile the crappy RX 460 I got as a cheap replacement to my old 970 is still running like a dream with 0 issues 4 years later after pretty much daily use

#

the 460 is overclocked lol

#

AMD just presents a much better value for me and what I care about

noble oak Dec 1, 2020, 1:56 AM

im kinda dissapointed that i bought a 2080ti a 2 months before the 3000 series came out. Its still a great card, but its annoying how much i spend on it compaired to the new cards price to performance

i didnt believe the rumors that people were saying its half the price for better performance of a 2080ti

#

2 months later it was true

#

i really dont care because i couldent get my hands on a 3000 series anyways

#

i woke that morning of release and every site was sold out

#

im curious if the same thing will happen with amds cards

static pecan Dec 1, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

That was me but with the Ryzen 5000 release lol. I almost got a 5900X on launch day, but the site crashed every time I tried to finalize the order until all the chips were gone, and it took me literally the entire month of November of trying to snag one from random Amazon and Newegg drops before I finally snagged a mobo and 5900X from Newegg on Friday night and they're getting here Wednesday

#

AMD cards are already out my dude

#

And the launch of those was somehow even worse than Nvidia

#

The AIB cards launched this past Wednesday but none of them actually existed. Not even scalpers got any because there was none on eBay on the day of release like there was 2 weeks ago with the launch of the reference cards

#

The last thing I need for my build is a 6800XT and I'm hoping I can snag one through a random drop like I did the CPU before January or February lol

So basically you just want the best of the best and don't care what the price tag is or what reviews say about certain products then?

noble oak Dec 1, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

#

i mean who doesnt want the best of the best

just because they cant afford it doesnt mean they dont "want" it

#

I do wonder how apple is going to do in the next couple of years if they keep making their own processors

#

their new chip is great considering its their first laptop cpu

#

is there anyway to make this cheaper

#

what if i change to GPU to a 1660 or 1650

#

get the b450m pro4, isn't it around the same price as the b450m ds3h

#

also i'd go for the nr400 or nr600 over that case

Ryzen 3 3100 for 196?

#

Prices are jacked

They can charge more for last gen since that's the only thing readily available. Prices on last gen parts won't decrease until probably mid-2021 at the earliest when supply of new CPUs and GPUs has leveled out to meet the insane initial demand

#

what would be a good budget friendly GPU on the market?

tough hazel Dec 1, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

#

i'd say we need to get pins that mention you need to have a budget and use case in mind

#

but nobody would read them anyways

elfin ember Dec 1, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

yes

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 3:32 PM

#

the 9400f is old you can do better

#

h510 has no airflow

#

you wouldn't need a third party cooler for that cpu anyways

elfin ember Dec 1, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

and that motehr board

crimson scroll Dec 1, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

is fine for that cpu

elfin ember Dec 1, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

ok

tough hazel Dec 1, 2020, 3:33 PM

#

i just threw together what was cheap and looked good enough

#

tough hazel i just threw together what was cheap and looked good enough

i say you should get a new case and if your budget provides change the 1050ti to maybe a 1650 or a 1660
