@fresh flower 2060 isn't $200

west badge
#

2060 is more like 300$

granite dirge
#

id just save the cash tbh until the whole 5600 bios thing blows over and then take a look at it

west badge
#

The whole Vbios thing wont really blow over

ripe mango
#

xD

shy plume
#

is it still worth to buy 1080ti for 180$ for my ryzen 3600 and 144hz 1080p monitor? or buy rx 5600xt for 300$?

glad meadow
#

uh 1080ti vastly outperforms the 5600xt

shy plume
#

is 180$ is fake right cause of that price

#

i compare both picture on amazon and on his picture there are no shield here

worn rose
#

Yeah most likely

shy plume
#

he said its brand new

#

here are all pics

#

i dont know if this real or scam or fake vcard and its only 180$

#

he dont have past reviews too

ripe mango
#

i like to try that if he sold it on ebay

#

because ive never lose in paypal refund case XD

#

maybe theres a catch

#

like fan broken

#

blackscreen

#

glitch

#

etc

glad meadow
#

180 to me seems incredibly fishy to me though

shy plume
glad meadow
#

in my experience. People overusing bro are scammers

shy plume
#

hahaha yeah

#

if there is bro, it means he need something on u desperately

ripe mango
#

it could be refubrished

#

or reballed

shy plume
#

btw is it worth to buy refurbish gpu?

#

i bought my refurbish iphone 5s and im still using it now

ripe mango
#

if you can find their physical store... try to go there

#

and bencmark all you want

supple forge
#

Most of the time when they say refurbished they usually just clean it and replace thermal paste

glad meadow
#

Yea. referbing doesnt guarantee that whatever was broken was actually fixed

ripe mango
#

but if you are lucky

supple forge
#

A guy in eBay who puts a used gpu for sale and cards about the stuff will usually clean it as well and it'll be cheaper anyways

ripe mango
#

someone sold it because his mom or dad is sick .. and they refurbished it and resell it XD

#

but if its already dead and reballed .. those card dont last they always die soon

shy plume
#

ahhh I see thanks alot

ripe mango
#

look for 1080 ti preloved instead

#

ahahaha

shy plume
#

like panty/underwear preloved i found lately ahaha

glad meadow
#

lmao

ripe mango
#

those stuff works nice xD imo

#

#

buying it used

#

actively looking for deals

#

if you put the time and effort in

#

you can build a pretty solid system buying used parts

#

even with $600, you can build a very good gaming PC brand new

#

well

#

what all do you need?

#

i built this PC for just under $500

#

buying used parts

#

i7 4790k, 16GB ram, GTX 980ti

#

are you in the USA?

torn basin
#

Ryzen 5 1600 (used)
MSI B450m (used)
16GB DDR4-3000
120 SSD
1TB HDD
GTX 980ti (used)
solid little case
Corsair CX 550W (used)

#

fur just under $500

#

if you know what to look for, you can find it

#

The 1600 comes with a stock cooler @sand wren

spring lotus
#

Case fans plus the fan/fans on the card are more than enough

tawny quest
#

All gpus have cooling fans and heat sink?

spring lotus
#

bleak pike
#

uhh, yeah?

#

at least modern GPUs

#

that shouldn't be that much of a surprise lol

bleak pike
#

It’s already all set up

lone depot
wide trout
#

Yeah, that's good for 240

finite fjord
#

V56 is 1070 basically is it not? As in a 1660S more or less, a $230 card

#

So it's more money for a used card

wide trout
#

Is it? I thought is was more powerful than that?

#

Nah, it's more on par with a 1070ti

#

It's between the 1660ti and 1070ti

#

Roughly

tawny quest
#

I wouldn’t get vega56 for gaming

finite fjord
#

nvm, v56 is a decent amount better on average

lone depot
#

Yeah

#

I got it pretty good deal

west river

@torn basin looks awesome. should probably run the gpu cables topside to help prevent that sag you can already see in the picture. poor PCIe slot...

lone depot

Got a question

#

Is it worth it?

#

He wants to trade for my 1tb ps4

spring lotus
#

Comes with no gpu? And how much ram

lone depot
#

@lone depot eh

#

There's probaly better deals

#

No gpu slow ram low watt psu

glad terrace
#

@lone depot focus g has very tight space for cable management, but if you arent concerned about that, then it looks good.

spring lotus
#

Yeah not a good deal

lone depot
#

Griz have any case recommendations?

glad terrace
#

@lone depot not too bad. But if you can spend for a gpu and future upgrades the i guess so

lone depot
#

I defiantly wouldn't get that pc

#

You'd have to get a new psu even if you wanted to upgrade most likely

spring lotus
#

Yea you’d have to put in another 350 ish which makes it not worth it

lone depot
#

Yeah ryzen 3 :/

glad terrace
#

@lone depot Meshify c. If you can spend that much. If not there is a rosewill case thats pretty good. Ima get you the link

lone depot
#

Thanks

#

@glad terrace what do you think of the gpu got it today

glad terrace
lone depot
#

Thanks I’ve never own a pc and I wanna get into one so badly I just don’t have the funds to fork out like that for a pc

#

How much is the ps4 worth?

#

Cause I actually don't know

#

@lone depot

#

Like 200 maybe

#

What games are you popping to play?

#

Looking to *

#

Rocket league

#

Rust

spring lotus
#

Depending on your budget, you could get a used 1060 6g or something along those lines

#

Rocket league is pretty easy to run and I think you can get nearly 60fps max settings in rust

lone depot
#

Even with no gpu?

spring lotus
#

No that would be a whole different story

lone depot
#

Rust is horrible optimized

#

I would save at least 700-800 to play rust

#

But you might be able to get by with less

#

Oof I just want a pc lol

spring lotus
#

You can get that pc, and a 1060, and then overtime upgrade the cpu or etc

finite fjord
#

@lone depot That's a $380 - $400 PC

Pairing pentium with 570?

wide trout
#

Depends on the Pentium

tawny quest
#

I don’t really think intel is very good budget cpu

#

I could be wrong tho

wide trout
#

Nah, that's accurate

#

Unless, of course, your buying used parts

tawny quest
#

True

lone depot
#

Oh

stone wagon
#

what

ripe mango
#

you can pair 570 to pentium gold g5400

finite fjord
#

@lone depot why Pentium? AMD has better options at that level of price

hollow prawn

lone depot

Yes it is

spring lotus

g skill has a kit the same price as corsair but its bulkier and red

lone depot
#

I ahve a red motherboard so that jig be cool

#

Which would you recommend then?

spring lotus
#

and i got no clue

#

i think these ones are taller slightly so maybe clearance issue??

#

but doubt it

lone depot
#

I feel like the cosair has a lot more reviews lol

spring lotus

yea i think corsairs more solid

lone depot

Better play it safe and get those

That monitor is usually at 130$ afaik

The aoc 1080p 144hz monitor

Oh wait a dif model, but still about 140$

$130 is great

I got mine for around there from ACER cause it was on sale

#

Best $130 of my life

rose ledge
#

Is that a good monitor ?

jolly valve
#

I would say the one that’s $129 yes it’s 144HZ 1MS. One thing I don’t like is it’s curved in my opinion curved isn’t that good cause you get used to it but the price I would buy it ya @rose ledge

west badge
#

I think from that place it gets cheaper than that cause on reddit someone bought it from the same site for 115$

Hey I need some help finding gaming laptop deals if u guys don't mind

#

Or could I just build a PC? I need portability

#

And I'm not sure what I should do

lone depot
#

What kinda budget u on tho

finite fjord
#

You need portability but then suggest building a PC?

forest scroll
#

Well I was original planning on building a PC and keep using my old laptop but it died like an HR ago

#

My budget is probably 1000 max.

#

I think 1660ti is the best I can get with a laptop in that price range, right.

#

?

#

And I'm just hesitant ok the trade-off between the portability of a laptop and the storage space of a PC

finite fjord
#

Going used should get you a 2060 laptop at least

I texted my brother in law to see if he can scoop that 2700x at Microcenter up for me and he hit me with the "if I find time, I'll check it out" Bored

3800x

if you already spending so much on a pc, no reason not to drop an extra 20

@tawny quest I already posted that

#

About to post the 3600 too

tawny quest
#

well I posted it againe

bleak pike

But did you know

#

About the 3700X?

tawny quest
#

what's a 3700x

bleak pike
#

what's a 3700x

wide trout
#

what's a 3700x

golden surge
#

what's a 3700x

alpine kernel
#

ryzen 3700x is more like a black edition. and its unlocked so it mean you can overclock it easiy.

bleak pike
#

What makes it a “black edition”

#

Also, Ryzen CPUs are unlocked

alpine kernel
#

yes. notice X on them?

#

i meant

#

ryzen have a series with "X"

#

it mean its unlocked and can be overclocked

bleak pike
#

What

#

No

wide trout
#

no, all ryzens are unlocked

alpine kernel
#

series without X still can be unlocked too its just people like to find it easier i think

bleak pike
#

They’re all unlocked lmao

wide trout
#

all of them

alpine kernel
#

ohh

#

im wrong

#

you guys are correct

bleak pike
#

There’s no black, special, ‘better than this’ edition

#

:)

alpine kernel
#

The 'X' in the Ryzen CPU parts indicate that the CPU has Extended Frequency Range (extra MHz on individual cores with the most load), and they have faster base and boost frequencies. Every Ryzen CPU is overclockable on X370 and B350 chipset-equipped motherboards

wide trout
#

and b450

#

and x470

#

and x570

bleak pike
#

Idk if that’s true

#

but imma go check

#

Oh you copied LTT

alpine kernel
#

anyway. Phenom and previous amd cpu they were a black edition. so i guess everythings different now

wide trout
#

i mean, if it has the X, it just has a higher boost clock than the other non X part

bleak pike
#

Basically

alpine kernel
#

yeah.

wide trout
#

there were a few FX black edition chips

bleak pike
#

Lol FX

#

“It’s 8 cores”
“No it’s 4 cores”

wide trout
#

before ryzen was a thing, the 9590 was their best cpu

bleak pike
#

“Overclocked and still can’t beat Intel”

wide trout
#

and its like sad

alpine kernel
#

FX series doesnt have a threads like Ryzen does lol.

#

yeah thats true

wide trout
#

i think my 3770 ripped it to shreds lmao

bleak pike
#

The 8350 was a four-core (don’t argue) CPU at 4GHz with a 125W TDP (fact check me on that TDP)

wide trout
#

the 9590 was 220w TDP lmao

bleak pike
#

Oh god

#

LMAO

wide trout
#

and i think it was 8 real cores

alpine kernel
#

lol that was weird right?

tawny quest
alpine kernel
#

umm

#

yeah

wide trout
#

o oops srry

bleak pike
#

We’re having a convo

wide trout
#

we move

alpine kernel
#

yeah it was...a trance haha sorry

bleak pike
#

Let’s make it active

finite fjord
#

@bleak pike Dont believe it was exactly 4 cores, removing the whole marketing scam. But it certainly was basically 4 cores

the 8350 is trash but it plays modern games surprisingly well, siege can run at 60+ fps high 1080p, far cry 5 1080p mixed low at around 60 as well with some stutter. both with a gtx 1060 3gb

well what is your opinion for best ram under or slightly above 100$

it's only worth it if you have money to burn and happy to burn it

fair enough

otherwise just get some fans or something

Hi there! Was just looking through the new egg prebuilds and im wondering if any of y'all have a good suggestions on a desktop/tower around 1000$ for gaming streaming and multi tasking on multiple monitors.

austere thunder
#

Get one with no OS so you can buy your own Windows license and link it to your account and use it on any other computer in the future if you dismantle it

#

Or Linux

supple stump
#

I know barely anything on PCs. So im not entirely sure what you're meaning.

tawny quest
#

windows is $100, and with prebuilts you pay for it, but when you build a pc you can buy windows for like $5

austere thunder
#

Nothing is installed on the boot drive, so you have to put a Windows installer on a DVD, CD or flash drive

#

And then plug the flash drive into the fresh computer to install the operating system

thin grotto
#

windows i free if u download it by urself

#

isn't it/

#

?

tawny quest
#

nope

#

a genuine activation key is $100

austere thunder

You don't need a key to use Windows

but then some features are locked

But is it better than the 5 3600?

west badge

at 140$

blissful hazel
#

Yes

#

That is

west badge
#

and cost even less paired with a motherboard

blissful hazel
#

@median dragon the 2700X is better for streaming and workstation tasks due to more cores, but the 3600 is better for gaming

west badge

cause that is how microcenter gets a lot of customers

Well gaming performance wise it does tend to be pretty similar and we don't know when there will be games recommending like a R7 1700

500 off

#

3 pounds and 0.6in thick and good battery life unlike most gaming laptops that are gigantic

#

@old ledge

cloud kestrel
#

yes but also at 900 bucks one should expect better than a 1050ti

raven pecan
#

It’s an ultra book tho

#

Name a laptop that’s not heavier than this with better gpu at 900?

cloud kestrel
#

thin and light is great but you also shouldn't skimp on specs

#

granted i don't mind 5, 10 pounds in my lap, but your opinion may differ

tawny quest
#

Not a great deal with those specs

raven pecan
#

I’m a college student I take my laptop Eveywhere so it’s a deal breaker for me

cloud kestrel
#

i may just be an anxious ninny here, but when it comes to 3 pounds and .6 inches, you may also want to consider the fragility of a laptop in- say, a bookbag

raven pecan
#

It has Aluminum chassis’s

#

Should be good

cloud kestrel
#

aluminum is a very light material- hence the low weight, so it's possible that damage could occur

raven pecan
#

Eh we’ll see I’m not worried it’s not like I’m gonna be throwing my book pack around with a 900 laptop inside of it lol

cloud kestrel
#

fair

#

but just be careful of where you set it in correspondence to your books

tawny quest
#

The thing is that laptop is really worth about $800-900

#

So it isn’t much of a sale

raven pecan
#

It was 1500 so.....

cloud kestrel
#

1500 is an overcharge

#

even for a thin-and-light

raven pecan
#

Everything is an overcharge at the price point look at MacBooks people still buy them

cloud kestrel
#

apple is proprietary

raven pecan
#

There’s nothing the consumer can do but suck it up

cloud kestrel
#

the consumer can demand better

#

and sometimes it actually goes well

raven pecan
#

Facts ima go rob an Apple store

cloud kestrel
#

aight bet

tawny quest
#

You have to keep in mind 1500 could’ve been the price when it first came out, it is at least 2 years old and costs significantly less for equal hardware today

most anime is overused

#

There are more flops in anime than great ones for sure. It is an art form in and of itself to find the gems

bleak pike
#

as an anti-weeb, I can agree that anime is definitely an a genre of drawing/animation, which is a subgenre for art

#

I wouldn't categorize it as its own art form

tawny quest
#

Anime is art Chef_Kiss

bleak pike
#

that would be like saying "classical music is a form of art because it's music, which is a form of art"

#

but yes anime is art

west badge
#

But classical music is a form of art

#

Cartoons on the other hand is just doodles

bleak pike
#

I literally just half-explained why it's not an art form lol

lone depot

It takes some amount of creativity, which is usually a basis for things considered "art"

bleak pike
#

well

west badge

Just because you don't believe it is art doesn't mean it is not art

Art can be my feces smeared across my head as a representation of how I feel

it's just part of an art form

#

part of the music art form

lone depot

bleak pike
#

music is the subgenre to the term "art form"

lone depot

God I hate art sometimes

bleak pike

and classical is the subgenre of "music", if that makes sense

So you hate everything?

There is a form of art in everything pretty much

@cloud kestrel @west badge thanks guys! So what we saying the HP one or the Asus?

west badge

@old ledge Asus

Asus for sure

Sweet! Probably not going to find a better deal than that anywhere

#

I was set to get this one months ago when it dropped to $849. How’s it compare to this?

west badge

@old ledge That one is more on looks than anything

#

the Asus one at least has a better display

old ledge
#

Never had an asus to be fair

#

Appreciate the advice!

west badge
#

Their laptops are pretty well made

#

besides that if you are planning on playing games like GTA V it would be better to have a system with a 120hz display over a 60hz display

old ledge
#

Sounds good! You think 512GB is enough? Can I add to that laptop?

cloud kestrel
#

with an nvme or m.2(?) drive, potentially

west badge
#

It is using a M.2 drive and for gaming the M.2 in it is more than enough

for the future you could always put in a HDD or another SSD

if miners know how to take care of cards I’d say they have less of a risk from dying than new cards. If they’re undervolted and underclocked they’re perfectly fine, and makes sure they aren’t doa

They kept the power limit at 60% or 65% wym

#

They took great care of the cards

#

I’d buy that well over a used card

worn rose
#

yeah that’s basically what I said

finite fjord
#

@hollow prawn mining barely does anything to a card. GPU die/memory die? Might degrade a bit if you OCed. But smart miners don't do that and in fact UV a bit. Caps? Might pop within 1-2 years if the cooling is terrible on the GPU, stuck bunch of them closely together on a rack, and have a very, very, high ambient temp.

hollow prawn
#

But those not-so-smart miners...

#

Cards don't last forever, they're not made to last forever, and mining takes a good bit out of that lifespan with constant load
