GPU market is kinda wonky rn and I have online school, so I'll try to make a list when I get time.
The only thing about pcs under around 1000 dollars is, that they often quickly get outdated and you might have to get a new one within a few years if you wanna play newest games, cause they're always getting more and more demanding

loud escarp Feb 8, 2021, 10:32 AM

idle bridge Feb 8, 2021, 12:01 PM

If I had to choose some parts for a good value pc as of now, it would probably be:
Core: Intel I5-10400f

RAM: 16gb 3200mhz CL16 Crucial Ballistix (Best value RAM on the market rn)

Storage: WD SN550 (100 dollars for 1 tb of NVME M.2 storage 🙂 )
Other Storage: Seagate, Western Digital or Toshiba (Basically the 3 largest HDD manufacturers)

GPU: Any GPU that suits your needs at a reasonable price (Again, GPU market kinda wonky)
Tho if u live in the USA I recommend checking Best Buy for drops, as they drop the founders edition Nvidia 3000 series at MSRP.

PSU: First find out how much power you need, I would recommend between 650 and 850 watts, depending on what you need. I recommend going a bit over your needs for this, as you might have spikes in power draw that can trip over current protection on lower wattage PSUs and when you want / need to upgrade in the future.
DO NOT Try to buy a cheap PSU cause if it is bad, then it can damage the rest of your system.
Good manufacturers are usually EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic, Cooler Master etc. If you can then choose full modular, as unneeded cables will contribute to cable clutter.

For this you would only need a 650 watt PSU with a 80+ Gold rating.

A case is also important, make sure your case has space for the parts you choose like PSU, GPU and make sure it has clearance for if you use a tower cooler for your CPU. And make sure it fits the mother board you choose. Pick a case with good airflow and make sure the fans you pic fit inside the case 🙂

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YZv79N @crimson scroll What do you think about this list?
I just added a randum GPU and set the price to 300 dollars, so the person can change it later when they find a card

3200cl16 is common, but it's not standard

#

okay gotcha

#

I just started getting into pc stuff like 2 months ago

crimson scroll Feb 8, 2021, 6:22 PM

#

it's very common (so standard in that sense) for 3200cl16 to get recommended for lots of builds

#

because it's cheap and performance is close enough to higher clocked ram for most cpus

#

in terms of best performance for each cpu, it varies based on generation

#

intel tenth gen such as the 10900k likes fast ram, 4400 or more even, and will scale with frequency

#

zen 3 can do 3800 or 4000 depending on your imc

#

zen 2 is closer to 3733, zen+ at around 3200-3400, etc

Gotcha

okay, so I have an old PC that died and we're trying to fix it. It has an Intel i3, not sure the hertz (I can check of you need) 16GB of DDR3 ram, it had a Sabertooth P67 motherboard which we swapped for a similar model (we believe the motherboard isn't the issue), a Sapphire Nitro R9 380X GPU. Corsair TX850M power supply. When trying to start up the computer, the CPU and case fans spin, but the GPU fans don't and we get no boot screen or anything. I believe the problem now might be a bad psu. Any ideas?

#

I know people will mock the DDR3 RAM and i3 but it's not meant to be a super gaming machine we just need it to work

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 1:23 AM

I recommend the ax850 because that has 80 plus titanium which will last a long time and is only £150

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

try clearing cmos and reseating all cables

#

also, 80+ titanium isn't necessary

#

and 150 is a lot

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

But ot will last longer

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:23 AM

#

not necessarily

#

the 80+ ratings have nothing to do with longevity

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

They had an 850w psu in that build so i matched it

#

They do

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

or we could diagnose the problem before trying to buy new parts

#

and no, 80+ certifications have nothing to do with longevity

#

they have to do with efficiency

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 1:24 AM

#

If it is a faulty psu i would say the ax850

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 1:25 AM

#

I don't have an exact copy paste but i have seen videos of people saying that it will last a long time if it is a titanium

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:26 AM

#

correlation does not equal causation

#

for example, you could have two nearly identical psus with the same capacitors, filters, etc. and one could be gold, the other titanium merely due to a relay causing extra efficiency

little quiver Feb 9, 2021, 1:27 AM

so you agree that its most likely the power supply?

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:28 AM

alright, we re-did all the cables when we swapped the motherboard but I'll do it again. I'll do the cmos trick with the battery too

crimson scroll Feb 9, 2021, 1:32 AM

#

also, the system seems old. this most likely isn't the issue, but if you haven't repasted in a while, you should do that as well

#

and check if you've got any debug leds on the motherboard

#

also, do you have your display out plugged into your gpu or your motherboard?

idle bridge Feb 9, 2021, 6:43 AM

#

flint raft Then why do bronzes not last long

Yeah no bro dunno where you got that info from. Only two reasons I can come up with is the slightly lower efficiency causes heating that may degrade the components, or because it's cheaply made.

#

Some PSU manufacturers also often put on a 10 year warranty, because they trust their product, so you shouldn't even have to worry about getting a new one unless it's over ten years old and it breaks, or if you need a higher wattage.

flint raft Feb 9, 2021, 2:51 PM

#

Well ltt said it would last longer idk

idle bridge Feb 9, 2021, 4:28 PM

Yeah no that's honestly a load of crap and probably a marketing strategy to get you to buy it. If you buy from lets say Corsair, then their warranty for PSUs last from between 7 to 10 years.

keep in mind it's not just the cost of the cpu, but also the corresponding motherboard and ram

I need advice

Well today I finally got my pc fixed

#

And I got sum new fresh ram

#

And a new motherboard

#

And it has 4 slots for ram

#

And I currently use 2

#

But I literly have 2 sticks left over

#

Both are 8x2

#

But the 2 I’m using now are from Corsair and the others are from hyperx

#

But I’m a little scared to touch my pc now cuz it has been broken for weeks

#

Should I put the other 2 in or not.

#

Help...

how many gigs are the sticks?

both from corsair and hyperx

I think the rule is “don’t cross sticks”

crimson scroll Feb 10, 2021, 10:54 PM

#

you can, it'll just take the speed and timings of the slower one

#

very rarely they just won't work together

#

also which you should use is based on the speed and timings and whether you need 32gb, and whether that's worth a penalty for running 4 sticks, and whether your IMC will even have that penalty, and the rank of the sticks

burnt plinth Feb 10, 2021, 11:10 PM

idk the performance of the sticks u have, but go with the faster performance

idle bridge Feb 11, 2021, 7:31 AM

#

Honestly just don't cross the sticks, for most games it doesn't really affect the amount of fps you are getting (Assuming the ram is in dual channel mode). If you need the extra 16 gb go out and buy matching ones for the fast ram / the ram you best like

I'm going to be reselling that card as soon as I stock levels somewhat stabilize for the 6000 series cards hopefully around the end of this year. Honestly the 5700XT is fine though. I run pretty all my games at either high or ultra settings at 120FPS+ at 1440p

Yh I'd say from a 1080ti you would want at least a 3070 for a significant upgrade

When Linus said "The top raytracing capable card" in the video, he was talking of the most popular cards on the Steam Hardware survey. It means of the people that take the survey, more people have RTX 2060s than RTX 2080s, and of the top ten or so list of GPUs, the RTX 2060 is the top card out of that list that can run raytracing stuff

#

The concept of a ti card doesn’t make much sense because it’s similar performance for quite a bit more, but the super isn’t out yet and availability is short

You can just get any inline controller like this then https://www.performance-pcs.com/lighting/led-devices/watercooling-leds/watercool-inline-rgb-controller.html

Watercool Inline RGB controller

All usual 12V RGB LED strips can be controlled and configured with this simple inline controller. No additional connectors on your motherboard or additional controller PCBs are required, the inline controller simply plugs into a power supply's 12V Molex connector.

#

you need to get a motherboard with an rgb header then

#

or you need an external rgb controller that plugs into usb or can communicate via bluetooth or some other feature

#

which seems very niche

ionic dragon Feb 24, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

sorry if it's in Danish

crimson scroll Feb 24, 2021, 4:10 PM

#

for 400 usd, not a great buy for 1080p 144hz VA

#

don't know what monitor prices are like over there but 400 should get you a 1440p 144hz ips in the us

ionic dragon Feb 24, 2021, 4:10 PM

It's like 322 euros

crimson scroll Feb 24, 2021, 4:11 PM

yes...and i converted from danish kroner to usd, so it's the same amount

so theres no way to use software or something similar without rgb headers on the motherbaord

crimson scroll Feb 24, 2021, 4:24 PM

#

it's probably not impossible

#

for example, there's rgb strips that you can control via remote

#

just really not common since modern motherboards generally have rgb headers

devout wolf Feb 24, 2021, 6:18 PM

#

there are usb based controllers

#

but i've only seen them for 5v digital rgb

#

you can use software with 12v rgb... if you use an arduino and mosfets
