crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:46 PM

Idk much about which cards to get

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:46 PM

past 6 cores a lot of games don't scale

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

I see

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

you're just wasting money

#

in some they do like F1, Civ, etc.

#

but for the most part you shouldn't be buying the 5950x for gaming

#

only if you need those cores for production and also like to game

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:47 PM

Mm I see

#

So which gpu would you suggest I get for 1080p gaming

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:48 PM

why'd you drop to 1080p

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

I’m not sure which graphics resolution I really want to go with either

#

I heard 1440p is good but if I downsize and save money maybe it would be worth it?

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

i can't answer that for you

#

resolution is a subjective thing

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Mmm

#

Ok what price are 1440p monitors usually in

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

at what refresh rate

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

60 hz

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

probably around $200

#

144hz is a much better experience in general though

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

But would I have to match that with 144 fps? I read about how you want to match FPS and hz as much as possible

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

for the most part yeah

#

but freesync/gsync mitigates that

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

So in your opinion is 1440p more worth it over 1080?

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

in my opinion, for my personal use case, yes

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 5:52 PM

you certainly can

idle bridge Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

bold drum Idk much about which cards to get

Right now imo 5600x is the sweet spot for gaming, same with 8-16 gb ram at around 3000 megahertz, a case that fits the formfactor, with either air cooling or maybe an AIO, coupled with a fast SSD for games and a bigger, but slower sata SSD if needed

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

takes patience and knowledge of where to find deals though

#

incorrect

#

why would you say 8-16gb

idle bridge Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

?

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

and 3000mhz

#

ryzen likes fast memory

idle bridge Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

true

#

but in general

#

"around"

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

dual rank at 3733+ is preferred

#

2400mhz is closer to 3000 than 3733 is

idle bridge Dec 16, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

iirc Jayztwocent or LTT did some testing, and found that about 3000 to 3600 is the best

#

because after that you wont get as much performance pr dollar

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

don't claim the sweet spot is around 3000mhz

#

it's not

idle bridge Dec 16, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

damn

#

angri

#

👉 👈

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

i'm not angry

#

i'm correcting something that is factually untrue

#

science = angry i guess

#

considering the price difference of 3000cl16 to 3600cl16 ($15 on pcpp), and the graphs i'm about to show you

#

it does not make sense to claim 3000 is a sweet spot

#

especially if you get decent 3200cl16 that can OC to 3600cl16

#

like micron rev E

#

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

📎 unknown.png

#

gtav is the first one, F1 2018 is the second

#

3000mhz is pretty down there

#

sweet spot is around 3600 to 3800

#

taking price of the sticks into account

#

this is for Zen 2 but the same applies to Zen 3

#

also, the loading time differences between a "fast" ssd and a "slower sata" ssd are small in a lot of games

#

nvme does not currently provide a large benefit

#

having said that, there's no reason to not get an nvme over a sata considering the prices are pretty equal and in the future we might make use of those speeds

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I think I’m just gonna go with 1080p however 1440p look really good

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

sure

#

i'd really recommend 1080p 144hz at your budget then

bold drum Dec 16, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

I’ve never seen 1440p tho so I can’t really make a good assumption

rotund jay Dec 16, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

@crimson scroll nice to see someone who agrees with me 😀

#

ive seen so many people "confirming" that they feel the difference nvme makes

#

but i think its more of a placebo effect most of the times 😀

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

it has other benefits and cons

#

no cables, small form factor

#

but it can cost you two sata ports

#

but yeah, i saw some tweaktown graphs that showed maybe a couple hundred milliseconds difference in loading times in selected games

#

you're not really gonna notice

pulsar fossil Dec 16, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

I love my nvme just for the faster transfers (I transfer a lot of big video files for editing) and the simplicity of just plopping it on the mobo and no cables etc

crimson scroll Dec 16, 2020, 6:38 PM

right

the psu in the list you linked is adequate wattage, but is semi modular

does that really matter? not that much, but full modular is generally cleaner/nicer looking

and at a 1.5k budget ,we might as well

#

better resell value too i guess

#

they have the freezer 34 esports duo on there for 57 bucks

at that price, i would pick a scythe fuma 2 or ninja 5

Good for 750 On the Dot

If you want to go lower, you can get an i3 10100, may seem old but its still a great chip and will have little to no bottleneck with the 5500xt. Nvidia has all of their lower card's jacked up in the price tag. That'll save you around 40 bucks, all you lose is a couple cores/threads. If you're not looking for "style" in your pc, you can get a 20 dollar cheaper motherboard that may server the same number's as the current 460.

same thing but go for 3200cl16 memory, probably tforce vulcan. r3 3300x + b450 board, and then you can maybe spend a bit more money on the psu

well there's not a ton of specs on it especially since it's walmart exclusive

can you look at the power supply and check the wattage

maybe 2x32

theoretically you could run a 2080ti or 3080 on that no problem, but since we don't know the brand or rating, i'd say safest i'd feel running on that is a 2070 stock

static pecan Dec 21, 2020, 5:20 PM

GPUs are overpriced as hell rn but do what callum said and get rid of the AIO, the stock cooler on the 3600 is more than adequate to cool that CPU and Vengeance RAM is pretty meh for the money so go with something like T-Force Vulkan or G.Skill. Also go with a WD SN550 for your M.2 instead of the 970 Evo

#

Also that case looks like it has zero airflow so I would personally look for something better

#

Also you could save a few bucks by going with an mATX board like the ASUS Prime B450M or TUF B450M if you aren't going to need all the PCIe expansion slots of a full size board

devout wolf Dec 21, 2020, 5:27 PM

if you want to make the trek to one of the MC stores then the 9700k is only $200 which is a very solid gaming cpu still. Unfortunately no hyperthreading, so for editing purposes you might want to go for a 9900k at $300 or the 10700k for $330

well, i guess samsung makes the chips

#

but it's all nvidia's base specs

#

then AIBs can add better cooling, factory overclocks, etc.

#

yeah it'll all fit together

and nvidia's FE models generally have worse cooling than the partner models

that's a little harder

4000d airflow maybe?

@devout wolf would I just buy the parts from that site or find better ones if I go to micro center

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

you could try looking on microcenter for cheaper prices on the same/similar parts

#

the 10700k is $10 more on mc than on b&h

So with the prices of zen 3 the intel ones probably are better price right @devout wolf

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:36 PM

kinda yeah

#

the 5600x obliterates in gaming

but the 10700k has 4 extra threads

#

true

bold drum Dec 24, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

Cuz no ones buying intel rn right

#

Also I have another question. When intel releases a new generation are they changing the chipset? Or what are they doing

#

Like i7 say 10th gen

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

11th gen will be on the same socket

crimson scroll Dec 24, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

@tall cove i've given up

#

i end up making the same list for everything pretty much

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

new refreshed chipset too, but the chipset will also support 10th gen

#

i'm praying that b560 has unlocked memory

#

or at least 2933 for the i5

vivid glacier Dec 24, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

iv got a i9900k does the job

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

9900k is nice

#

especially now

#

it's like $300 on microcenter

vivid glacier Dec 24, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

its a good price atm

bold drum Dec 24, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

So when they release a new chipset do they do it for like previous cpus like i5

#

Like I see amd making new Ryzen 7s or 9s and new ryzen 5 i think @devout wolf

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

oh you meant chips

#

chipsets are on the motherboard

#

b460, z490, x570 etc

intel is going to release the full product stack

bold drum Dec 24, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

devout wolf chipsets are on the motherboard

I meant like are they making new cpus or something every generation with the new chipsets?

devout wolf Dec 24, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

uh yeah

#

11th gen will release with intel 500 series chipsets

#

h510/70, h560 and z590

#

but the socket will remain lga1200

#

and they will be cross-compatible

#

400 series will need a bios update to work with 11th gen
