yes that looks about right for a PC of that specs. Only thing I would upgrade if you we're going to is the SSD (if I read right it only has 512GB) and the RAM is always a relatively cheap and good choice to upgrade. 1660 Super is a good graphics card but be careful what monitor you use as it probably wont be able to handle something like 144hz

Most people would recommend against a prebuilt

They usually look pretty terrible on the inside, plus you don't want a damn 1660 super for that price.

noble oak what do u guys think is a good pc from 1000 dollars to 2500

That's a pretty broad price range, would be nice if I got a more specific pricerange. Best I can tell you is from about 1500 to 2000 dollars is about where price to performance starts going a bit downhill.

at2020 is on sale for $100

you need to have an xlr interface for it though

idle bridge Jan 22, 2021, 3:59 PM

If you have 2500 dollars for just the computer I would recommend something like an AMD Ryzen 5900x, an Asus ROG Strix x570-E Gaming, a fast M.2 SSD (WD, samsung or whatever), and than a 850W 80+ gold PSU

PNY really isn't that good, they heat up really quickly, therefore, caused to thermal throttle, best cards if you're trynna keep it cheap are EVGA, don't know about your prices but they're like £130 cheaper than most cards.

idle bridge Jan 23, 2021, 11:21 AM

#

heavy kindle what are the difference about gpu brands

Aesthetics and often some sort of slight performance change. Like another Display Port or HDMI port, or a slightly beefier cooler and slightly higher clocks; Things like that.

#

The brands I can recommend are: EVGA, Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Zotac and founders edition

#

Basically any brand you can trust is what you should go for in these times

#

Just be aware that there are a lot of "paper edition" gpus on places like ebay, which are literally just a printed piece of paper with a picture of the GPU on it

#

Look for reviews and make sure that the GPU fits in your case

what we're saying is that while you would get better performance out of a 5800x, the price difference doesn't justify the extra performance

think about it this way. You want to make french onion soup. You can buy 5 pounds of onions for 10 dollars, or 4 pounds of onions for 4 dollars

5 pounds of onions is more, but it's more expensive per pound

#

and you probably won't even use all your onions

5800x is probably more future proof, but most games aren't even using 8 cores. I wouldn't worry so much about futureproofing

@toxic cedar we need more information. What do you mean by your monitor going black screen? Does it do that when you're playing a game? When you're trying to start up the computer?

crimson scroll <@373925072659939358> we need more information. What do you mean by your monitor...

it black screen any time actually. from playing games, to just viewing emails. it happens anytime. so it only black screens, sayd hdmi/dp cannot be detected, gpu fans goes faster and louder. then ihave to restart or force shut down

yessir

can you check your event viewer and see what errors correspond to the crashes

#

i'm guessing you may need to go back to an older driver revision

also make sure you've plugged everything in securely

#

loose connectors can cause issues like this

yes i checked every connector just to sure. also removed my cable exntensions 😦

how can i check the event viewer sir?

static pecan Jan 24, 2021, 9:12 PM

You could try swapping out the cables going to the GPU, there should be extra in the box. If it's black screening with different cables then if you can, RMA the PSU. If not, well you're probably going just have to buy a new one

If you can get a 3060, do it - but its unlikely you'll have a choice

Being the cheapest one yet, it will also be the most popular

3070 comes back in stock from time to time, but retailers are selling for up to £700 - if you can stomach that, you might as well.

Couple things - Arctic liquid coolers offer a better cooling solution (although its preferance), get an M.2 instead of a sata SSD, ans also youll struggle to get a 3070 for anything less that £700 so keep that in mind

Only real reason for that is if you wanted to water cool in the future, otherwise its preference

It isnt difficult to just pick up a couple on amazon

#

He didnt say a budget, so i thought it would be fine

crimson scroll Jan 27, 2021, 3:40 PM

right but then it becomes as expensive or more as as case that already has fans

raw marsh Jan 27, 2021, 3:42 PM

Perhaps

#

Im not saying the meshify c is the BEST option, but its still an option

tidal anchor Jan 27, 2021, 3:43 PM

#

Well im not going for water cooled

#

Its air cooled

#

thats why the case has some decent air flow

idle bridge Jan 27, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

You can't really watercool without air getting in and out of the case? Otherwise the hot air would just get trapped and hold on the heat, reducing performance

crimson scroll Jan 27, 2021, 4:26 PM

#

^

#

it just takes a longer soak time for you to notice

idle bridge Jan 27, 2021, 4:26 PM

Yep

#

You should just always get a case with great airflow

crimson scroll Jan 27, 2021, 4:27 PM

#

well

#

there are lower power components for which it doesn't matter

idle bridge Jan 27, 2021, 4:28 PM

Yep, because they don't generate nearly as much heat

crimson scroll Jan 27, 2021, 4:28 PM

wouldn't really recommend it but

craggy sparrow Jan 27, 2021, 4:28 PM

You don’t need amazing airflow for most builds

I didn't say it had to be amazing, just so it doesn't strangle your fans

craggy sparrow Jan 27, 2021, 4:29 PM

#

Yeah

#

But like having a h510 is fine

idle bridge Jan 27, 2021, 4:29 PM

#

Eh

#

Also, when using and AIO, you always want it to pump air out, otherwise the hot air gets pushed into the case

#

Bad airflow can also be constricting fans, a lot of dust, if you turned your tower cooler wrong, etc

inland badger Jan 27, 2021, 4:31 PM

wasnt the h510 deemed with poor air flow for beginner builds?

inland badger Jan 27, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

isnt the h710 a good example of that cal?

tidal anchor Jan 27, 2021, 4:36 PM

#

Maybe a bigger one like the h710 would be better

#

Idk I wanted the black and red version of the h710 but ive heard that one also has bad airflow

#

hold on

#

found a good describtion of the h710

#

Conclusion. The H710 is pretty much the same case as the H700, and we liked the H700 well enough (note the omission of the -i). It's not the best-cooled chassis in the world, but it has SOME ventilation and it comes with four fans, and those four fans go a long way towards making up for the flat steel front panel.Oct 9, 2019
