[umbral ridge]

you need a laptop?

specifically?

because laptops are

[brittle dune]

Yes for college am thinkin about usin it for light gaming nothing heavy but will deff make a computer in future

[umbral ridge]

[brittle dune]

Lol

Same

[exotic swift]

Get a portable desktop lmao

[umbral ridge]

i had the same situation

[brittle dune]

Portable desktop?

Mini atx u mean?

[exotic swift]

Case with a handle haha

[brittle dune]

I could do that

[umbral ridge]

except my parents were funding a portion of the computer

[brittle dune]

Cases like that kinda expensive

[hollow prawn]

oh damn did Newegg get a font update

[umbral ridge]

so they forced me to go laptop

[exotic swift]

I mean if it works but I was kidding

[umbral ridge]

@brittle dune mini atx isn't expensive

itx is

[brittle dune]

If there is a cheap small case would deff build it

[umbral ridge]

and so are itx mobo

[exotic swift]

yeah like $130ish

[umbral ridge]

for so much less

[exotic swift]

cases are like 100

but still

[umbral ridge]

tbh

[exotic swift]

mini itx builds are sick

[umbral ridge]

i found that i never needed the laptop

[hollow prawn]

anyways found the a15 listing

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16834235406

[brittle dune]

Budget kinda between $800-$1000 for building pc

[umbral ridge]

pfft much better

[hollow prawn]

because

[umbral ridge]

4800h

the cpu intel cant stop talking about

[exotic swift]

ok wow that’s a nice laptop for 1200

[brittle dune]

Saw that for 999 in best buy but unavailable

[exotic swift]

144hz ips

[umbral ridge]

those specs

[hollow prawn]

there's an A15 with 1660ti at like 900$

[brittle dune]

Wish it was available

[umbral ridge]

damn good

[hollow prawn]

but the a15 with 2060 is ~1200$

[umbral ridge]

16 gb 3200

and a tb nvme

[brittle dune]

Would that be considered good value?

[hollow prawn]

yea that's a great deal imo

for laptops

[umbral ridge]

a 144hz ips

nice af

[brittle dune]

👍

[hollow prawn]

It's quite rare you see 1tb NVMe with 16gb ram with a good 8 core CPU and a RTX 2060 at 1200$ :P

and IPS 144hz panel too

[exotic swift]

Even for a desktop

[brittle dune]

I forgot a lot about computers despite doing research for 2 years lol

[exotic swift]

That’s rare

[hollow prawn]

I mean

[brittle dune]

Would building one be much better?

[exotic swift]

No

[umbral ridge]

i mean for a desktop

[hollow prawn]

Much better? ehhh

[exotic swift]

Not after adding in a 144 monitor

[hollow prawn]

not much better

[brittle dune]

I seee

[umbral ridge]

that at 1200 wouldnt be much

but for a laptop impressive

[hollow prawn]

better, yes, much better? you gotta cut corners and all, and portability will be a loss.

Yea

[brittle dune]

Make sense

Oki

Thx guy

[exotic swift]

if you need a laptop that’s the one

[brittle dune]

Luv y'all

[exotic swift]

good luck man

[umbral ridge]

gl

[brittle dune]

Thx guys

[hollow prawn]

Same spec desktop can easily be made at 1000-1100$ with monitor, but portability and all

yea

you're welcome

GL

[brittle dune]

Better to get the laptop then

[hollow prawn]

If you want to carry it around, hell yea laptop time.

[umbral ridge]

probably pretty heavy

[brittle dune]

True

[umbral ridge]

think mine was 7 lb

[brittle dune]

Not gon be running around a lot

Wish it was like 5lbs

[hollow prawn]

desktop just annoying to setup

think about it

Monitor+PC w power plugs, display cable, mouse, keyboard, headphones

[umbral ridge]

lol

[brittle dune]

Tru

[hollow prawn]

then you have to consider all of those are separate things you have to all carry around at once somehow

[brittle dune]

Very tru

Bruh I agree

[umbral ridge]

then the laptop fans kick in and you realize setup aint so bad

[harsh crypt]

i need new fans someone link me a deal

[hollow prawn]

P12 5 pack

[brittle dune]

I'd rather carry 7lbs than 20-3plbs

[hollow prawn]

first thought

[umbral ridge]

because god damn are laptops loud

[hollow prawn]

depends on the laptop

and you can uc and stuff to help with it

[umbral ridge]

intel ones especially

[brittle dune]

Prolly will go super low graphics for games

[hollow prawn]

Intel ones ofc xD

nah no need

[umbral ridge]

hot boxes

[hollow prawn]

laptop 2060 will do just fine with med settings

[umbral ridge]

depends

[brittle dune]

Gon ve doing lots of programming n autocad lol

[umbral ridge]

was 2060 mobile a good amount worse than desktop?

[devout badger]

is a gpro wireless worth it for 150$?

[umbral ridge]

no

lol

[distant marsh]

nope

[umbral ridge]

one less wire

[distant marsh]

unles u got money

[hollow prawn]

@harsh crypt depending on how many you need, big pack
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HC782D5

[umbral ridge]

for likely 100 more dollars

[devout badger]

I thought so, wanna buy one new but it’s expensive

[hollow prawn]

GPW is not worth spending 150$ unless you are spending like 3000$ on your setup

Model o is nice

[harsh crypt]

@harsh crypt depending on how many you need, big pack
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HC782D5
@hollow prawn 6

[hollow prawn]

lel

[umbral ridge]

even deathadders are 30 now

[hollow prawn]

as a GPW owner, amazing mouse, love it to bits, overpriced still tho...

[devout badger]

I was gonna get a model o, but all my friends were telling me gpro is alot better

[umbral ridge]

i mean its good

[hollow prawn]

model o is like 60$, gpw is 150$

that's your answer

[umbral ridge]

150 good? ehhh

[hollow prawn]

Yes gpw is a good bit better

but not worth 2.5x the price

[umbral ridge]

what is the pro based on?

the 403?

[devout badger]

not sure

[hollow prawn]

903 I think?

[devout badger]

I heard the viper ultimate was really good too

[umbral ridge]

reg g pro is 60

[feral kestrel]

I think it's slightly different from the 403 and 703

[hollow prawn]

really?

[umbral ridge]

on b&h

[hollow prawn]

huh

[umbral ridge]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1442116-REG/logitech_910_005439_pro_gaming_mouse.html?ap=y&smp=y

[hollow prawn]

oh the reg pro

I mean, close enough to gpw, except wired

a good amount of the pricing for GPW was early adopter tax for good wireless and wireless charging

[devout badger]

yeah im just not like a super fan of wired

only problem

[umbral ridge]

well not exactly the same

[hollow prawn]

mhm

Same sensor tho

[umbral ridge]

regular is kinda 203 like

in shape

[hollow prawn]

shaping is completely different

[umbral ridge]

more like 203

which is 40

idk if anything happened to razer

but deathadder was alright while i had it

aww its not 30 anymore

40 now

i have a 402 rn though

like 20 bucks

well i payed 20

its like 30

[devout badger]

I found a used gpro for 70 on offerup

[umbral ridge]

target just sold a bunch for like 20

[devout badger]

min ware

[umbral ridge]

eh

you just call it min ware?

[hollow prawn]

min wear?

[umbral ridge]

whats the float value?

[devout badger]

thats what he said, its like normal use

doesn’t look bad

[umbral ridge]

idk you need wireless that badly?

[hollow prawn]

some gpw tend to get double clicking issues after a while

check that with them

[umbral ridge]

people have different definitions of normal use

[devout badger]

I just dont wanna mess up the wire when i flick and what not

[umbral ridge]

?

[devout badger]

seems like it’d be uncomfortable

[umbral ridge]

just roll it up a bit?

lol?

dunno hpw good the 305 is

but that a wireless mouse for 50

[pallid saddle]

its very good

[serene plover]

@exotic swift thats not a good deal

[wide trout]

quad 2tb drives in raid 0 on a bifurcated pcie card is cheaper lol

[astral steeple]

[paper kelp]

Is a 2080ti for 360 gud

[manic trout]

If it ain’t broken ya lol

[dense solar]

yeah 360 for 2080ti is great but sounds a lil fishy lol

[drifting pelican]

is that a good deal?

[lament thunder]

256 usd for a 5700

[umbral ridge]

That's not as good

[lament thunder]

not super crazy but considering what they're floating at atm its not horrible for a temp card

[hollow prawn]

@warm bane image from review of airflow 240mm, keep in mind Arctic freezer ii 240mm fairly easily beats Corsair h100i

[warm bane]

@hollow prawn ok these are all Garbo. How about the Deepcool Captain I linked? If I remember correctly those are decent?

[hollow prawn]

What about just go with freezer ii >:p

I've been calling Freezer ii best aio for a decent reason

[warm bane]

Well. The 360 isn’t in stock. And I’m think of building in a p3. So a little RGB would be alright

[hollow prawn]

Rgb bad

[warm bane]

Light speed performance boost XD

[hollow prawn]

No

Rgb bad

[grim talon]

rgb good :D

(if executed correctly)

[warm bane]

Deep Cool Captain comes with RGB strips. Instant clock boost!

Ya I found a comparison on the 240 version. It’s worse then the Corsair H100i. So they aren’t worth it

[final scarab]

Rgb bad
@hollow prawn
Says the guy with the trident neo :D

[hollow prawn]

@final scarab yep, I actually turn off the rgb with mystic lights most of the time I kid you not

2060 super for 300

[grim talon]

2080 TI for only 30 more above

[wide trout]

330 for a 2080ti vs 500 for a 3070

[exotic swift]

well you think it’s a 2080ti but who knows lmao

[wide trout]

what is wrong with people, selling off their cards before the 3070 even launches for that much less

like, the 2080ti is easily still worth 500

[exotic swift]

yeah we think it’s a scam

the 2060s looks legit tho

[wide trout]

idk man, those pictures are awfully consistent with one another

[exotic swift]

Yeah but he could ship a box

[wide trout]

i mean, they all could

thats why buyer protection is a thing

you could buy a nintendo switch for 800 dollars, and the seller could ship a box

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[exotic swift]

buyer protection isn’t a thing on OfferUp really tho

[last egret]

nah got kinda "scammed"

and offerup did nothing thats why i dont buy on it

[wide trout]

oh whoops, i thought this was mercari lmao, i never really even took a good look at the site lol

[exotic swift]

mercari is good but not as many people know ab it

[wide trout]

ive never had much experience with offerup

[last egret]

mercari buyer protection is amazing

[exotic swift]

I can’t even find that 2080ti on OfferUp now

[last egret]

scammmm

[exotic swift]

OfferUp is good if you know how to use it

Like I got half my parts from OfferUp

Still have to test them but original boxes, good packaging and everything

[wide trout]

if this is a scam, its a very well put together one, i cant find anything that would suggest scam other than a somewhat low price

[last egret]

the guy had 20 reviews and still scammed me

2 times this happneed

[exotic swift]

oof on what

[last egret]

they didnt do ****

1600 af i got it but caused me to overpay, and a x73

[exotic swift]

why overpay

[last egret]

ill pm you what happened

[supple sluice]

offerup has buyer protection, they hold the money for you until you get the item and verify it looks good

[exotic swift]

oh yeahhhh

[supple sluice]

and then you have to sign off on it before they give the money to the seller

[exotic swift]

they hold the sellers money

[supple sluice]

that's how i bought my 5600T

[exotic swift]

right

[supple sluice]

XT*

[exotic swift]

I just marked it good bc I have it lol

[supple sluice]

i waited until i booted mine up and ran time spy, just because they were willing to sell it to me for like $225 or something

with like no haggling

so i was wary

[last egret]

there was a difference in mine

it left a bad taste in my month for offerup

i still sell and buy from there not shipped doe

[exotic swift]

225 for 5600xt isn’t abnormal tho is it

well I have to ship bc I’m inWV lol

no other choice

My only option is a gt410 45 mins away from me 🙂

[supple sluice]

i got mine a few months ago, they were still going for a bit more at the time, and they were asking like 275 or something

[outer cypress]

@exotic swift we dont allow selling here, sorry.

[exotic swift]

@outer cypress do what??

[outer cypress]

you sent a mercari link

[exotic swift]

it’s tech deals...?

everyone sends links?

Oh well. My bad

[outer cypress]

we dont allow personal selling links if that makes sense

wait, was the link meant to get people to buy it?

or were you just referencing it

[exotic swift]

I just thought it was a good deal, lol

Sorry ab that

wait which link was it

[outer cypress]

mercari

[exotic swift]

But link to what? The pc part bundle?

[astral steeple]

Deal of the day

[last egret]

um @outer cypress we think tech deals is all things used or not

i send mercari links but never mine

[final scarab]

Same, I send offerup and mercari links for good priced used hardware all the time

[outer cypress]

i was under the impression he was advertising something of his own

[umbral ridge]

huh

the 2080 ti is still up

should i get it?

[sonic scaffold]

Yea

[exotic swift]

oh no it wasn’t mine @outer cypress . The link just didn’t pop up right, it had no description

2k, 144hz, 1ms, 27", TN panel, $280

thats a pretty good deal

[final scarab]

TN :reee:

[outer cypress]

i just got a monitor for about the same price, but IPS instead of TN and 1080p instead of 2k

i love it

the viewing angles are great

[final scarab]

Hz?

[outer cypress]

everything about it is the same as the acer monitor i put but its IPS and 1080p instead of 2k and TN

[final scarab]

Oh nice

[outer cypress]

yeah

super nice

[final scarab]

I'm looking for the same kinda thing rn

Which one you get?

[outer cypress]

the stand is also height and tilt adjustable, something the acer doesnt have

mines the MSI mag273r

optix

[final scarab]

Not bad

Msi makes good ones

[outer cypress]

yeah

i gotta say tho, i think i like 24" better for gaming

[final scarab]

I can agree with that

27in is the sweet spot for a 2nd monitor tho imo

[outer cypress]

well

i have two primary monitors since i have two setups lol

[final scarab]

Oh lol

[outer cypress]

the other monitor i have is a 1080p 144hz 1ms 24" TN, got it for $99 brand new because of a sale screwup on dells part

[final scarab]

Lmao nice

[outer cypress]

yeah

dell makes some really nice monitors, they pay attention to small details, for example brands like MSI and HP have external transformers that sit on the floor and are uhhhhh really ugly and hard to cable manage

dell builds them right into the monitor

so you just have a single standard power cable coming out if it, no transformer

think of it like what xbox did with the one and the one s

[final scarab]

Oh thats nice. Didn't realize that was even an option lol

[outer cypress]

yeah

dells monitor stands are also super solid

sturdy, no wobble, height tilt and rotation adjustable

[final scarab]

[outer cypress]

oh it can also go left and right without the base moving

yeah

ill stop ranting about dell monitors now lol

[final scarab]

Lol

[thick badge]

That acer panel doesnt really knock my socks off, I bought the same panel with all the same specs except it being a VA panel, fully ajustable stand, and 249.99 from AOC

Oh wait i forgot its also curved but that might be a minus for some people

[tardy grove]

Acer 2k IPS panel is $299 still I think

XV272U

Welp i would wait on getting the new gpus from nvidia

[tardy grove]

Trying to justify buying one of the 2070 super systems at micro center. Waiting for 3070 to come out first.

[thick badge]

Maybe wait for AMD new gpus

And build your own system is so much more fun dude

[tardy grove]

AMD new CPUs also coming out in October?

[thick badge]

They will announce them on October 15th i believe

[tardy grove]

I’ve thought about building. Don’t know if I can troubleshoot if it doesn’t work on the first try

[thick badge]

There are so many sources you can use on youtube to help you build and save money without getting a prebuild

Learning about your computer is better than not knowing is what id say

[tardy grove]

On that point I definitely agree

[tall pagoda]

It’s good to be able to change your spare tire or the oil and spark plugs.

[tardy grove]

I’d rather know how to do stuff myself and upgrade in the future.

[thick badge]

Plus alot of prebuilds give you iffy motherboards, storage, fans

[glass mason]

^

[tall pagoda]

And terrible PSU

[glass mason]

most of the time

[tardy grove]

That’s what I like about the PowerSpecs at micro center. Good name brand motherboards and other parts.

[thick badge]

Wish i lived near a microcenter

Lucky basterds

[tardy grove]

😂

[thick badge]

Florida never get one here

[tardy grove]

But then you would be there all the time spending your cash

[thick badge]

I definitely would and wouldnt give a damn

Hell i wish i could work there

Anyway, id say buy everything you want piece by piece with pc part picker

And it will generally give you the ok if all the parts you want fit your build

[azure abyss]

Gamers

[thick badge]

One thing to mention tho is when you start building it yourself and using youtube guides to help you, Dont forget about your manuels!

[azure abyss]

^^^^^^^^

Exactly what I did

[glass mason]

[thick badge]

If something doesnt happen in a youtube video thats a part of your setup, look thru the manuel real good

[azure abyss]

^^^^

Best advice

[outer cypress]

nah

just wing it

[thick badge]

To be honest i made a mistake with my first build doing that...

[azure abyss]

Oof

[thick badge]

I ended up not putting a post on top of the ssd mount and my ssd was slightly bent like that for awhile until i looked thru my manuel and showed me in pictures... That i was missing a post.

Basically did "The Verge" style of building

[azure abyss]

Nah. You can never be as bad as the verge

[thick badge]

All i can say is youll definitely will have one or two growing pains when making your first build

Don’t know much about this particular keyboard, but 65% off

[worn rose]

150 doesnt seem like the normal price (somebody got it+a set of keycaps for 110 cad) but 55 is a decent price

[warm bane]

Redragon K556 RGB LED Backlit Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Aluminum Base, 104 Standard Keys https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAI2TXC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NpFCFb3F83XF4

This is my keyboard. It’s very high quality, very heavy all metal. I got it on a sale a while ago tho

Actually it’s only 55$ now with the coupon. I recommend

[bold fox]

Is there a numpad less version? Desk is kinda small and I dont use the numpad anyways

[grim talon]

@bold fox https://www.amazon.com/Mechanical-Keyboard-Programable-Resistant-Anti-Ghosting/dp/B06Y2QQ518
This is the one i use. I have the white blue switch version.
For the price, its pretty dang good.

They also have a 60% version if youre into that. https://amzn.to/2EGaeUL

https://offerup.co/CP0lLifv99

https://offerup.co/ZKWewwgv99

thought these weren’t too bad

[warm bane]

@exotic swift OfferUp has about 3 scams for every 5 posts. Be careful

[hollow wolf]

@exotic swift yea, ask owners to send vids of hwinfo... can't be too careful

[warm bane]

Just make sure they use the Offer up payment method or G&S PayPal. You know it’s a scam if they try to get you to use a different method

[exotic swift]

I always go through OfferUp

But those also look legit.

[pallid saddle]

i ask for paypal g/s, it saves them so much fees and taxes

but not every seller likes it

[hollow wolf]

I don't use offerup

I like ebay

you're way more likely to find customers there

[exotic swift]

I use all 3 mercari OfferUp and eBay

Is PayPal goods and services any different than just PayPal

[warm bane]

@exotic swift dude. So Goods and Serives the seller sends you a invoice, which you pay, they only take 5% and OFFER buyer Protection! So if it doesn’t work they will wack the seller for the money after a dispute period. Also you can only send a invoice with a bank account linked. It’s fairly safe.

We use this solely on Hardwareswap reddit. Any other payment method will get you kicked faster then you can drop a hat

[exotic swift]

Okay that’s pretty good

[warm bane]

Also no sales tax

[exotic swift]

Oh wow

So even better

Better for buying than selling though

[warm bane]

Seller doesn’t loss as much

No risk of scam.

Its great

[gilded dove]

@warm bane how much is the key board normally?

[warm bane]

Not sure. It was marked down from 80$ a month ago when i bought it. I just like it so much i figured i would post it here

I paid 55$ for it then

[gilded dove]

Ooo ok. It’s cause I was waiting to get a k70 but there’s no need to get a keyboard so expensive so I’ve been looking for a dif one

What keys did you get for it

[warm bane]

Brown Switches. It offers some different ones too. I really like brown. They aren't crazy clacky but feel good.. But tbh i was using a 10$ keyboard for years so anything feels good to me

[gilded dove]

Oof. Can I hear the switches lmao. Sorry if that’s weird

Are they like cherry switches

[warm bane]

idk man. my phones on the charger . ill post a short vid in an hour maybe if your still intersested

[gilded dove]

Alright. I’ll go just search it up on YouTube

[warm bane]

otherwise just google a review? they usually have high quality audio

[gilded dove]

Yea I’ll do that. Thanks

hi, i am a college student and i need to know what laptop to buy. i have a surface pro which runs just fine but recently my professor told me we will be starting autocad and revit. what laptop is strong enough to run both at the same time. my budget it $1400.

[rigid eagle]

Probably something Ryzen and a decent chunk of ram

[hollow prawn]

@edgy steeple assuming USD, take a look at something like this, a bit overpriced rn, but just a reference

[neon dew]

will you be rendering in autocad and revit? then you might want a decent graphics card too

[hollow prawn]

I was going to link the a15, but went out of stock

All the 2070 laptops usually start around 1500$ anyways, but 1200$ for an a15 with 4800h+2060 is pretty good

Hey nerds so this dude is selling 3600 for 145 he’s trusted

And selling many other kinds for 40-70$ off retail i bought before and went well

[lone depot]

I am debating on whether to get the 3600 and the 3070 or the 3900x and the 3080

second build is more pricey but not sure its worth it

[last egret]

He sells the 3700x for 150

Or 190

So your chillin

[lone depot]

It sold

[last egret]

I remember he sold one for 160 like 7 weeks ago from him and the highest bid by the morning buys it

There’s many other just go to his account

https://merc.li/F344n99Ub

https://merc.li/KkZYzN6Eb

[lone depot]

I did, all he has is 3600's and a 3950x

[last egret]

He post usually every 2 weeks with different varsity’s

Varietys

[lone depot]

Ok thanks man

I'll keep checking

[last egret]

No worries 🙂

[lone depot]

Wait are you the seller because he just posted a 3900x

?

[final scarab]

https://merc.li/uXKuRKREb

Good price on a good aio

No he's not the seller lol

I've bought from that guy too

Hes legit

[tawny quest]

I’m tempted

[final scarab]

Just bought a 3600 lol

[lone depot]

Wait so should i get 3070 or 3080?

[final scarab]

Which one you tempted for ghost?

Thats more of a question for #graphics-cards

[lone depot]

[fleet sierra]

Morning

[last egret]

Please by from my link 😂

I get 20$ off my purchease s

[fleet sierra]

@lone depot depends, games, budget, and monitor quality?

And by games I mean do you plan to play higher graphically intense games

[lone depot]

@fleet sierra Im gonna play at 1080 max settings with a 3900x so?

[fleet sierra]

Mm

What games tho

And if you're getting a 3900x I can guess you have the budget for both

[torpid bone]

im tempted with that 360mm aio

[tawny quest]

The ekwb

[torpid bone]

but I no have room in case

yeah

[tawny quest]

I always liked that aio

But can’t really spend anymore money atm

[torpid bone]

I have one already

but pricey is lowey 😭

tell me not to buy it

[tawny quest]

Buy

[torpid bone]

WAIT

[final scarab]

Same, I've always liked it too but I want to upgrade cpus first @tawny quest

[torpid bone]

the fans wouldnt match my case

found an excuse not to get it

[tawny quest]

Yes I need new cpu too

[torpid bone]

wait for the new line up of ryzen cpus to get 3rd gen cheaper :>

[last egret]

Sign up for Mercari and get up to $30. Here's my invitation link : https://merc.li/fENKFVf2b

Here’s a way to get 10-30$ off

And I can get a coupon so it’s a win win

[tawny quest]

I might actually get 9900k if I have money and price is right

[final scarab]

Why not 10700k

[last egret]

He sells them and someone else for 240-280

I remember that

[fleet sierra]

@final scarab what's the difference

[final scarab]

Between the 9900k and 10700k?

[fleet sierra]

shh it's a joke

[final scarab]

Oh lmao

Hard to tell through text :)

[fleet sierra]

Yeah

[tawny quest]

Because I don’t feel like get new mobo

oh wait, i think i see it

1900x on mercari

that's not bad for a 1900x, they usually go for 200-225 or so

[gilded dove]

Is that guy legit?

How are they so cheap

[lone depot]

a8 9600 gtx 960 4gb 16gb ddr4 tomahawk b350 240ssd and 500hdd for 320 good? worth to buy coz all i need to do is upgrade the cpu

[bleak pike]

@lone depot that’s a nice office PC

a8 9600 gtx 960 4gb 16gb ddr4 tomahawk b350 240ssd and 500hdd for 320 good? worth to buy coz all i need to do is upgrade the cpu
@lone depot nice office PC

[lone depot]

oh ok cool

i was trynna go for a budget gaming build

[bleak pike]

Oh, I wouldn’t bother with an A-series CPU (A6, A8, A10, etc.)

Try to go for a Ryzen 1600 at minimum. The 1600 is actually a very underrated CPU

I use it in my HTPC

@lone depot

[lone depot]

yeah this is a deal i found

since the seller wont split

i gotta upgrade it

would it still be worth to buy then upgrade

coz ill get like 60 aud max from selling the 9600

adn yeah could go with 1600

[bleak pike]

I mean, you could definitely buy that PC and get a 1600 later (that should be the first upgrade) and next should be the GPU

[lone depot]

yeah would upgrading to a 1060 be good

coz i kinda wanna aim for r5 r7

[bleak pike]

I wouldn’t bother with a 1060

[lone depot]

ok

yeah i watched some yt vids on benchmarks and it does pretty well

[bleak pike]

Last I saw, it’s getting pretty dated

[lone depot]

then what gpu should get then?

[bleak pike]

1660 imo

iirc, a 1650 might actually be more powerful than a 1060

[lone depot]

with a 1600?

would it not bottleneck

[bleak pike]

Nope

I have a 5700 in my HTPC (paired with a 1600). Does great at 4K

[lone depot]

oh what about cpu demanding games

[mystic flame]

Good deal

jk but man noctua is smart

design your coolers a poop theme so that people pay so much more for the black version

[hollow prawn]

it will last you a decade or more

@pallid saddle I love the beige

I stay with the beige :P

it's more industrial, it's more focused on performance.

[pallid saddle]

true, but just like cars, performance is important

but looks matter too

[exotic swift]

Noctua with wood build omg

Looks so good

[hollow prawn]

does this come with an RGB strip?

not sure

cant find the diff between this and the H500 for around 10$ cheaper

[glass mason]

these cases dont have great airflow

I would rather recommend something like an MB311l for M-ATX or like a coolermaster TD500 mesh

[pallid saddle]

but they do look really good

and are around half the price of the cases that you listed

oh wait MB311L is cheap

[glass mason]

yea but its only for itx/ m-atx

[pallid saddle]

you really can't complain TOO much abt perf

if you want more usually you can find 1 tb models close to $95 on prime day

I know in the past I got a gen 4 1 tb for a cool 140 on amazon black friday

but tbh that is what it will probably be during prime days

[shy lynx]

I’m on a budget

Is there a possibility that it will not be on sale? @loud spade

[loud spade]

there is but it is more likely it will stay on sale unless it sells out

you are not getting a bad deal tho

[shy lynx]

What about this one

There’s no way they’re gonna sell it under that

[loud spade]

itll probably stay at that price on prime day

whats your budget and the parts ya gettin?

[shy lynx]

Well

I have a pc already

I’m just switching out the case ram gpu and getting an ssd

My budget is like 600

Don’t know what gpu I’m getting

Should I go ahead and buy those

Just don’t want them to go back off sale if they do

[pallid saddle]

the td500 mesh is a good deal

idk abt the ssd its been at that price i think??

[lone depot]

Hello

Legion 5-15ARH05(r5 4600h, 16gb, 500gb, rtx 2060, 15.6) - 1195$ vs Asus TUF(R7 4800h, 8gb, 500gb, rtx 2060,15.6) - 1395$?

Currently trying to find thermals for the legion

Which one would you choose

[hollow prawn]

@lone depot interestingly, legion 5 looks pretty good thermal wise.

[last egret]

im for legion because a) it has 16gb of ram and b) the tuf is not worth for a r7 and 8gb ram for 200$ more but it also depends on display hz

[hollow prawn]

so yes.

[lone depot]

What about build quality and reliability?

Which one would last longer?

I would try to confirm what I9

if you wanna get it use the power supply as a negotiation tool as its cheap and probably needs to be replaced

its not horrible but its not what you should be paying for

@scarlet crow socket 2011-3 motherboard, and a quad core i9? that's not possible. lowest i9 desktop was a 10 core 7900x on LGA 2066. there was never a quad core i9 and no i9 fits that board.

[mystic flame]

Fans are good but I would go with the lian li unifans

[rigid eagle]
