Rn I’m using 10 pro, I honestly don’t see a reason to go to 11 yet.

paired with a ryzen 7 5800x
like thats the most unbalanced shit in the world
thats why ill get a 3080
and other stuff
noble oak
also ill get new peripherals
like rn ive got an old logitech mouse and a compaq keyboard lmaooo
limpid glen
Ah I have all SteelSeries and my monitor is dell.
limpid glen
I use the super lightweight mouse, I forgot the name of it I had it for a while. It’s the one with holes on the top of it lol.
noble oak
It’s nice I just keep forgetting to charge it😭
thats why ill get a wired mouse 🤣
limpid glen
I mean you can just plug it up and it becomes wired but I think I had it plugged up more than it’s been changed 😭
noble oak
LMAO
but yeah ill get the entire package
like mouse, mousepad, keyboard and headset
ill even get prismcaps lmao
limpid glen
I also have the mouse pad that lights up, I got the xl that will go under my keyboard and it has plenty of room for my mouse as well, it makes my desk more pleasing
I got everything as well lol
noble oak
I also have the mouse pad that lights up, I got the xl that will go under my key...
ill also get the xl rgb one
limpid glen
It’s nice, I haven’t had a problem or issue. Under its rubberized and it won’t slide.
In the gg app you can customize it to all turn colors at the same time
I think it’s the gg app😭
noble oak
I got everything as well lol
like my peripheral setup will be:
- Arctis Pro+GameDAC
- Apex Pro
- Rival 600
- QCK Prism Cloth Xl
noble oak
In the gg app you can customize it to all turn colors at the same time
ikkkkkk

It’s probably useful but I didn’t see a need for it for me.

There are multiple different 3080 coolers
Coolers?

Coolers?
the different brands that make them case them differently, with different widths and length cases for them with fans etc. For example gigabyte will have a differently sized unit for a 3080 than perhaps EVGA or whatever
this is why pcpartspicker is useful, or you need to specify which brand of 3080 you are getting

Your best option is to get RX 6500XT. It's awful, but it's best price/perf right now.
high mango
Idc abt price
noble oak
Given how all other options are like 80% over MSRP.
high mango
As long as the total is 1600-1700 for me
noble oak
So get the 6500 XT, wait till september, then get an RTX 3080 or something when everyone starts panic selling them.
For like
Half the price of what they cost now.

So get the 6500 XT, wait till september, then get an RTX 3080 or something when ...
Won’t happen in our country tho

I just asked u 2 questions that u said stupid

You ask me to help you with a PC build.
And then you question every decision I made despite saying that you are new to PC building.

You want me to tell him to buy a GPU at double the price?
white sequoia
6500xt is a waste of sand
Then hes gonna have to buy another gpu next year because of how much it sux
noble oak
That will still put him at a win compared to buying an 3070 for 1000$ right now for example.
white sequoia
Can I dm u
What country so u live in
white sequoia
Did he say how much a 6500xt was there?
Also the 2060 he was talking about is still better than a 6500xt

250$
If he can find a 2060 for the same price, then yes it's worth getting that one instead.

I would expect a 3700x to handle any ram timings that a 2600x could, but if you've messed with the ram that could be another problem point
X570 plus is probably overkill though

is AEROX 3 good?
i have it, and i love it.
noble oak
What a difference btw arctis 7 and prime?
Prime is essentially Arctis Pro but with a 3.5mm jack connector and less than half the price
It also sounds better if you properly tweak the EQ
Since you can push more power to it than the Pro.
fresh moon
i prefer heavy mice, and i had a rival 600. all the weights were in it. i can definitely feel a difference with the aerox 3, though. it glides easier even when the weights were out of my 600.

Or all other USB Arctis headsets.

in terms of keyboards, it's a budget keyboard; but it is good, yes. i've owned one in the past.

I have a question is apex 5 good?
I don't know enough about it but it depends on what you want from the keyboard

personally, i would definitely look at the apex 7/7 tkl if you want true mechanical.
but it's all personal preference here.

is AEROX 3 good?
I've tried both aerox and g pro superlight and gpro is much better
pulsar fossil
I've tried both aerox and g pro superlight and gpro is much better
There's a pretty big price difference though
Aerox 3 is almost half the price
But I do agree. If only the G Pro X Superlight didn't use micro usb
white sequoia
In my opinion, the aerox 3 is pretty bad. This is because i like large heavy mice such as the g502, basilisk, or rival 650
chilly bloom
But I do agree. If only the G Pro X Superlight didn't use micro usb
Micro usb socket uses less pins, thats why its used in the gpro
pulsar fossil
Micro usb socket uses less pins, thats why its used in the gpro
It's a pretty bad connector though

It's a pretty bad connector though
the cable itself is horrible
actually about cables, i was using pretty old cable to charge the arctis 7. Then the mic just stopped working.

would u suggest a intel
I have had thew 5900k and i now have the 12900k but i used the 11900k.. depends on budget but gaming wise intel currently performs better
noble oak
im just not a fan of intel
and all of my friends who have pcs recommended that one
i use a macbook rn for gaming
sand timber
Idk why... intel is better
noble oak
have never even owned a pc
sand timber
ppl who recommend amd and hate intel are just fanboys and are not looking at performance
noble oak
me and my macbook
sand timber
I had amd when it was better then intel but currently intel is better
Im going off performance
but if you want the best get a intel 12900k and your mobo will have to be a z690
new chipset
also you have the new ddr5 mem
noble oak
idrk much about what ur saying to be quite honest
sand timber
Im going off the rails but again when switching to a desktop... upgrades are available almost every 6 months so getting the best will let your pc last longer
sand timber
all good i build pc's lol but alot of people will just say "this is the best" when its more "I like this because im a fan" when they are not seeing the performance difference each gen offers
z690 is the newest motherboards
which offers compatability with the new intel chipset the 12900k cpu
also the new DDr5 Memory

how much difference in price would that be

Hi Everyone! Anyone got any 240hz monitors they would recommend
raven hazel
when gaming the normal temp is between 60° C and 70° C
80° C means toaster
risk of overheating, so you should not reach 80

sometimes cpu temp goes over 60
That's perfectly fine.
80 is when you should start questioning your cooler.

5600x doesn't run that hot, you don't need one. If you want the aesthetics then sure
noble oak
Unless you want an AIO for looks or you are building a 12900k system, it's not worth it.
Hmm

Wouldn't use a 240mm for a 12900k either

There's also lots of good cheaper air coolers if you find the stock amd cooler to be too loud

What's your overall budget? I can make a list later

Gotcha
You can change the country in pcpp
It will pull from region appropriate sites
The list you have right now is for us Amazon and Newegg so prices won't always directly translate
crimson scroll
850w is overkill for a 5600x and 3060
noble oak
And when he upgrades?
crimson scroll
Buy for now, don't try to future proof everything
noble oak
Yeah I don't really plan on upgrading if I get this pc for a long time
Well PSU is the thing that's worth futureproofing. Especially with the skyrocketing CPU and GPU power draws.
If you really are sure about that, you can go lower PSU.
I'll see
I still have a lot of time until I talk to my parents about it
One more question
How much do you care about looks? I may be able to find more fitting parts for you.
Hmm
Well first off im aiming for a white lights
and then a full black components
Looks are not that important
of course if it just had random coolers and so and looked like a pc from a long time ago, I'd definetly mind
but if it looks presentable and so I'm fine if it performs well
Actually.. you are better off not even going Ryzen.

sonic oriole
850w is overkill for a 5600x and 3060
Anything over 600W is overkill for a single CPU/GPU case atm tbh, (Unless you slap a power hungry GPU like the 3090 in there, then you prolly need a bit more)
Better off getting lower Watt and grabbing a Titanium/Platinum PSU so it's more efficient
In all fairness I'd pick an AMD Ryzen over Intel atm, for multiple reasons, some are actually less power hungry AND cheaper then current Intel CPU's
crimson scroll
That's not true
750w isn't overkill for a 3090 and 12900k, especially not with an overclock
Even without going very hard on the oc
In fact it's cutting it a bit close
sonic oriole
a 3090 wasn't being mentioned but yeah i can see that haha
crimson scroll
Also I wouldn't blanket pick ryzen over Intel or vice versa
sonic oriole
owh damn, never knew the 3090 was a power hungry fellow haha
Ok, i retract my 600W statement XD
800W would prolly be smart for a 12900K, 3090 combo XD
More if you plan Overclocking
crimson scroll
Yeah, 300w on the cpu, 400w on the gpu
sonic oriole
Think a ryzen 5950x would be a cheaper alternative, should be around the same performance level
crimson scroll
Plus a couple here and there for fans, drives, the mobo
sonic oriole
might even draw less power then the 12900K but not 100% sure
sonic oriole
500 on the 3090 actually, it has a 450-480w Draw from what i read earlier
then again same page says the 5950x draws only 105 which is prolly inaccurate, if it starts boosting it's prolly 150-175
i believe the 5900x draws 142w in boost last time i checked mine
according to this chart the 5950x actually grabs 183W during PBO XD
noble oak
My 5800X grabs about 130 on full load.
sonic oriole
Not sure if i have PBO enabled tbh i can't get mine to go over 110W haha
noble oak
according to this chart the 5950x actually grabs 183W during PBO XD
Follow this guide for PBO, made a huge difference for me.
Will both get you lower temps and bigger boosts when you load up the system.
sonic oriole
Mine doesn't generally go over 65C unless i stress only 1 core the it usually stays under 75C
noble oak
You have a custom loop?
sonic oriole
which i find funny. i can max out all cores with stresstests and it's like 65c XD
Nope 360 AiO
noble oak
... are you sure your thing runs at max potential?
sonic oriole
3.7Ghz, 4.1Ghz PBO i believe?
noble oak
I think your boosting settings are messed up. If you get lower temps when all cores are active that probably means that they are downclocking themselves.
That's very bad.
Like VERY bad.
sonic oriole
My temps don't go over 65c, they don't spike higher then 75c either
so either my PBO is nerfed or off, but the temps are fine xD

Your power is tuned wrongly. You are leaving performance on the table.
