the m.2 for windows and adobe since its a b550 with raid gen 4 support the ssd for games and the hard drives for videos and other stuff

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 5:40 AM

#

or just get a gen 3 m.2

#

that's large enough to hold the games and the os

#

also those fans aren't cheap, but if you like the aesthetic there's not much other choice i guess

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:41 AM

#

you can always add another 2tb hdd if you need it

#

and i'd really still change out the fans

#

also you have the option of using the 5600x or nvenc on the 2070 to stream, depending on if the game is more cpu or gpu bound

#

having said that, there's also the option of ditching amd entirely and going with a 11600k/10700k

deft dock Jul 11, 2021, 5:46 AM

#

save on fans and get a Ryzen 5600x or 5800X.
imo

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 5:47 AM

#

without looking at local stores, the 5600x and 11600k come out to almost the same price once you add in the motherboard

so really up to you

A single 1tb drive and 2tb hdd

#

Bear in mind windows 11 and direct storage, which will have a positive impact on performance and game quality

So an NVME for games will be a lot more useful

That way u get access to Gen4

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 4:39 PM

yup

#

i dont know if i should get a m.2 for windows and aodbe and then a ssd for games or if i should just get a 1 or 2tb m.2

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:40 PM

#

Better to get a single drive that 2 separate ssd’s

#

Because a larger ssd will have a longer lifespan, makes file management easier, and means u have another m.2 spare for a future upgrade

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 4:42 PM

#

so double down and get a 2tb m.2

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:43 PM

#

Either 2tb nvme
Or
1TB nvme + 2tb HDD

#

They are the best options

If you feel that 1tb will be ok for all ur main games then the 1tb + 2tb hdd is probably better

yup want to fill the ram slots

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:50 PM

#

Ok, in terms of compatibility and Overclocking I would get a 4x8gb kit instead of 2 kits

#

I’m pretty sure the seagate 2tb is the best hdd(durability, speed) available, not sure about the WD 5400rpm

#

Rest looks good

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

it's definitely not

#

but it's fine for his purposes

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

yeah just switched it the ballistix doesn't come in 4x8 on the sight

#

what would you recommend

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

like i said, the seagate is fine

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:52 PM

#

crimson scroll it's definitely not

The 360mm rad is more for aesthetic purposes

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

it's just not the best hdd for durability and speed available

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:53 PM

#

For a reasonable price*

#

Should have said that

#

Sure you could get an ironwolf pro or something like that, but might aswell get an ssd at that point tbh

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:54 PM

#

i guess

#

but also remember that the speeds on the hard drive will be maybe 160mb/s vs 140mb/s for 7200 vs 5400, and that's not taking into account platter density

#

and also 5400 is quieter

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

True, but at such low speeds, 300 write and 250 read is quite a lot better than around 200/150 I think

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:55 PM

#

so really there's not much of a difference even though higher number better

#

if you're using the hard drive how you should, for storage, it literally won't matter

#

there are 10tb hard drives at 5400 that are faster than 1tb drives at 7200, my platter density is referring to different sizes

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:56 PM

#

queen violet True, but at such low speeds, 300 write and 250 read is quite a lot better than ...

where are you getting 200/150

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

it would be for videos and software like streamlabs steelseries gg geforce experience

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

they're all pretty much the same read/write

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

#

That’s the WD

#

And I ran it on my seagate I while ago, and got 300 write 250 read

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:57 PM

#

is that your WD

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

Nope

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

not much of a comparison then

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

Sure, but it’s a rough estimate of performance

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 4:58 PM

#

that's also crystaldiskmark 6.0

#

and you said you ran yours "a while ago"

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

Yes, but the speeds won’t be much different with version changes

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 5:02 PM

#

you sure?

#

because it may not even be the same test

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

I stand corrected it was 200 read and 200 write for the Seagate

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 5:03 PM

#

and here's mine with actual use

#

cmon now

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:05 PM

#

Sure it’s reduced pretty heavily, and think about how much lower the WD would be too

#

Either way, the seagate is faster than the WD, that was my original point

crimson scroll Jul 11, 2021, 5:10 PM

#

is it though

#

again, not in a meaningful way

#

and these tests still can't be compared

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:11 PM

#

So if I’m right in saying the seagate has 8gb of cache/memory whereas the WD has 256mb of base cache

#

Which should help with reactivity a lot

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:19 PM

#

any rgb fan suggestions

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:20 PM

#

AER rgb 2’s look great, Corsair Rgb fans are good too, the Arctic rgb fans are also good

#

Depends what you prefer in terms of the looks, the performance will be roughly the same, although Arctic fans tend to be slightly better

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:26 PM

#

@queen violet so basically the be quiet rad is good but i just seen a thermaltake rad thats 5 dollars cheaper should i get that one instead

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

Thermal take TH360?

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:27 PM

#

yup

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

Pretty highly rated aio so should be fine

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:28 PM

#

i could get this rad and three fans form them for less than 200

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:30 PM

#

However the be quiet is refillable and non rgb

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:31 PM

#

a tuff decision

#

they both are only one left 🥲

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:36 PM

#

But realistically any performance difference will be negligible with a 5600x

#

So it’s down to whichever one looks better

#

I’ll try find the loudness for each

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:37 PM

#

19.8-40.5 be quiet

#

28.2 thermal take

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:38 PM

#

I would go thermaltake if those are accurate

#

40 decibels is noticeable to say the least

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

if i go with thermaltake assembly is way easier since its the same company as my case

queen violet Jul 11, 2021, 5:39 PM

#

Not sure that’s how it works, but if you have an integrated fan controller or other thermaltake rgb fans then yes there is a benefit

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 5:40 PM

#

true it does save me more on buying fans since all i wanted was rgb fans in the build it can be white like how the stock fans are

dusky echo Jul 11, 2021, 6:02 PM

@queen violet nvm im just gonna get the be quiet and arctic fans

DDR5 will be outrageously expensive compared to DDR4 and won't have a decent enough performance uplift when it launches to justify the price increase just like every other time a new gen of RAM is released.

Corsair B-Die is a myth lol, much more likely you get Rev E, except the Rev E is such low bin you’d rather take C-Die from anybody else

Corsair don’t rly do a kit that guarantees you anything decent

Or Trident Z 3200CL14 if you want B die

Cpu doesn’t matter at 4K especially. However because of poor smt support intel has an advantage, if you turn off smt in bios and run ur 8-10 cores at higher clocks you can get a 5-15% FPS boost depending on game settings.

#

You can do the same for amd, however you won’t get an especially good gain from turning hyper-threading off

DLSS will help a lot with 4K gaming

little wedge Jul 18, 2021, 2:10 PM

#

yea

#

i watched it ages ago so i forgot most of the info

#

but yea i can see how that would cause thermal issues

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

Also 3080ti sounds better 😂

little wedge Jul 18, 2021, 2:11 PM

#

lol innit

#

for productivity the 3090 would be better

#

since vram but thats all

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 2:14 PM

#

Yep

#

3090 isn’t intended for gamers

#

Even if you play at 8k you won’t need 24gb of vram

little wedge Jul 18, 2021, 2:15 PM

#

yea

#

whos gonna be playing at 8k tho

#

theres like 5 people that play games at 8k

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

Yep

#

12gb is more than enough for 4K

little wedge Jul 18, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

yea

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

8gb would be ok

#

Ngl Overclocking in this heat is pain

#

30oC ambient

#

Everything is steaming hot

little wedge Jul 18, 2021, 2:24 PM

#

lol

devout wolf Jul 18, 2021, 3:05 PM

#

3080ti is kinda pointless

#

the same way the 3090 is

#

it costs so much more than the 3080 while performing less than 10% better

#

but at this point it's not like you have much of a choice with what GPU you end up with

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 3:10 PM

#

It varies

#

At 4k it’s a solid difference

#

At 1080p it’s like 5%

austere ibex Jul 18, 2021, 5:05 PM

devout wolf the same way the 3090 is

#

mossy spear whats the cheapest possible and decent gaming pc?

@queen violet

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:29 PM

#

Ummm what area( US, U.K. etc…)

#

And what budget? @mossy spear

#

It’s very hard to give you a “cheap” and decent gaming pc

#

Because what is cheap to you

#

So budget is usually the easiest, if you don’t have one a general range is ok

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:38 PM

#

queen violet And what budget? <@674536010687971329>

eu currently

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:39 PM

#

Any price range?

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:39 PM

#

basicly under 1k?

#

shipping is like 700 dollars here or more

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:40 PM

#

So €1000 max

#

But preferably less

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:42 PM

#

any parts that would make a decent one?

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:42 PM

#

queen violet But preferably less

yes

#

sorry my internet is bad sometimes

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:42 PM

#

Which country? If you prefer not so say that’s fine.

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

i have a place where i can pick up parts but

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

Just makes it easier to find individual parts or pre-builds

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

ive only seen amd cpus

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:43 PM

#

Are you looking for a pre-build or build yourself?

#

Or just whatever is cheaper and better

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:45 PM

#

queen violet Just makes it easier to find individual parts or pre-builds

pre builds from aboard are like 700 shipping so thats a no for me

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:45 PM

#

queen violet Are you looking for a pre-build or build yourself?

honestly the guys are building it there. but yeah cheaper better

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:45 PM

Oke

I’m basing the pcpartpicker list on France btw

manli nvidia GTX 1650 4gb for 420

#

a corsair airflow case 257r for 120

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:50 PM

#

Hmmm in France you can get a 3700x for €200

#

And a 1660 super for €430

#

But that probably won’t be accurate for you, cause every country is different

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:52 PM

motherboard gigabyte b450 gaming x am4 for 140

#

a power supply PSU be quiet system power 9 700 w

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:53 PM

#

A 3600xt is pretty pointless especially for that price

#

The 1650 is very expensive for €420 too

#

What games you planning on playing?

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 8:54 PM

#

my total with storage ram and others 1333

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 8:55 PM

Hmmm in Germany my total is €985

In France it’s €1080

Anything relatively modern, 2000 series, 3000 series, 5700xt, 6000 series. All will do 4K at reasonable settings

#

NVidia cards past and including 2000 series have dlss which helps with 4K performance

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 9:37 PM

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 9:38 PM

ok

#

2 sec

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 9:38 PM

#

Ram should be about €70-80 for 16gb

#

2666mhz ram is fine

#

Since your motherboard will limit you to 2666mhz anyway

Why dominators specifically?

I’d go Crucial Ballistix 3600 CL16 or Trident Z 3200 CL14 if you want to splash out(Much higher Overclocking headroom)

mossy spear Jul 18, 2021, 9:49 PM

how much ram u have?

queen violet Jul 18, 2021, 9:51 PM

16gb is the ideal amount, it’s pretty budget, but is enough for any game

8gb can start to run out very quickly

ive seen a super nice pree build but shipping is like 700 dollars :(

thats like 5 i3 cpus

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 7:12 AM

#

I’d probably prefer an I5-10400f in a build for €800

#

And 16gb of ram, but GpU prices mean a card that should be €200 max is €350

#

So you lose a lot of budget and freedoms like that now

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 7:13 AM

strange hearth <@517614215566065664> i have 16 i forgot they are 8gb each

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Any criteria?

#

Numpad, switches etc

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:02 PM

#

Apex 7 TKL is very nice, but if you need cheaper Apex 5 is also good

#

Do you know the difference between switches? We can explain if you don’t

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

Idk brother first time gaming on a pc I don’t want low end stuff more mid to high range

#

What do you think

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:03 PM

#

Pc is a solid mid-ranger

#

So Apex 7 would be nice if you want non blue switches

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

Is there a point in getting the best with a mid range pc

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:04 PM

#

Might be for you

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

But it all depends on what switch types you prefer. Blue being loud clicky keys which have a noticeable bump when pressing. Red being quieter and no bump, or Brown being clicky but less of a bump and slightly quieter than blues

#

If that makes any sense

#

Most people prefer blues or browns for typing, and reds or browns for gaming

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:05 PM

#

queen violet But it all depends on what switch types you prefer. Blue being loud clicky keys ...

You mean quieter than blue?

#

None of them will be especially quiet due to the construction of the board itself

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:07 PM

#

Like i have been playing on my side girl’s, brothers pc on the down low and there pretty cashed up

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:08 PM

#

Easiest way to check what switches you prefer is to go to a hardware shop and ask if you can test switches

#

If you can’t do that, then its kinda what your use is

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Always a good idea, or buy a switch tester if there isn't a store near you

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Brown’s are a safe bet, but if you don’t like the clickiness of keyboards you’ve tried go red’s

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:09 PM

#

Idk i am new to the city

#

Where do i find switch tester

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Online

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Amazon etc…

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Buy one ?

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Or that same company you bought ur pc from if they have it

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

They won't have any

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

Ye they are quite cheap, it’s better to spend £10-15 on a tester and get the right keyboard than get a £100+ keyboard and not like the switches when you get it

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:11 PM

#

I just want to know what keyboard and mouse to get I don’t want a lower end keyboard more mid to higher keyboard and mouse

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

It's completely up to pref1 pref2 pref3 so it's hard to say

queen violet Jul 19, 2021, 1:12 PM

#

We can’t really tell you what mouse and keyboard to get

#

It’s purely what suits your hand position

#

And what feels good to you

raw marsh Jul 19, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

Apex 7 with reds and a prime mouse (wired or wireless) would be a safe bet. Return them if you hate them.

mortal rain Jul 19, 2021, 1:14 PM

Pretty much. Difficult to say exactly what you want if you haven't tried anything similar before.

Waterproof? No.

It might be water-resistant to an extent, but if you run it while wet it’ll most likely die

#

So if it gets wet unplug and don’t plug it back in for a good day or 2

Going to get Apex pro and RIVAL 650 WIRELESS i got a mouse pad should i get a new one and cables hurt my head how do i organise them

I can't say if you should get a new mousepad when I know nothing about your old one

#

Cable managing the apex lineup is hard because they use a thick non detachable cable. The cleanest route is to drill a hole in your desk and route is down, otherwise there's not much you can do.

Apex pro is a safe bet because it can basically imitate most switches
