what's wrong with it?

#

its about the same as a ryzen 3 2200g

lyric marsh May 12, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

It wouldn't be powerful for gaming. But since you have an Intel motherboard you should just get an 8th gen i7 so you'd have something powerful for gaming

noble turtle May 12, 2019, 11:39 PM

#

i3's and i5's are usually fine for gaming if you can get a high clock, as most games don't utilize the extra cores of an i7

lyric marsh May 12, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

If you look at specs. The i3 and i5 have less bandwidth than the i7

Is most cases

2 sticks

#

as long as your motherboard supports ddr4 ram, you can put any kind of ddr4 ram now matter the speed or how many gigs of ram

#

just get any ram that is ddr4, get 2 sticks and you'll be fine

@lament moat $600 plus your choice of case will build you a decent rig that will run almost anything at 2k 100fps and is completely upgradable as your budget increases through time. You will also have to spring for any type of keyboard, mouse, headset, mic, and monitor that you want if you don't already have something

vocal holly May 23, 2019, 7:42 PM

rx 580 is pretty good value

#

stretch to a 590 but i dunno if its worth it

versed ice May 23, 2019, 8:12 PM

#

don't think i'd be using a RX 590 for a new build. nothing against AMD, it's what i'm using on my current system, but for building a new machine i don't think i'd go lower in performance than a GTX 1660ti. unless you plan on building another computer in the next year or so.

uncut void May 23, 2019, 11:40 PM

#

I agree with @versed ice. The AMD cards are great for budget builds, but current cards are just not up to performance levels. The new Navi cards later this year should be something to get though if you are not building right now. Navi is supposed to be released in Q3 2019

Both use your PCs resources and so therefore your pc is spreading out its resources to multitask do more things at once that are somewhat intensive

#

@pure flume if your single PC streaming it's trying to process all the frames for the game AND capture and encode video for the stream so it's going to cause fps drops. if you have a 10 series or better nvidia GPU the new NVENC encoder is really really good so you might want to try that. just google "new nvenc" + whatever streaming program you're using which i assume is OBS or SLOBS.

#

NVENC basically offloads more of the encoding/capture to the gpu and helps with more stable frames.

pure flume Jun 7, 2019, 11:56 PM

#

I don’t think i have it on NVENC I’m gonna try that thanks @near steppe

lemme go look something up real quick

also I have a feeling that the inconsistencies of the i5-9900k is causing small micro-stutters in games like csgo...

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:49 PM

i would say upgrading the graphics card would be more worth it

#

the difference between the i5 9th gen and the i7 8th gen is double the threads, but not much other than that

an upgrade to an rtx 2060 or a gtx 1070 would be good

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

hm

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

could that be your wifi connection?

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

no

#

my ping is great

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

or does it seem more client side

#

ok

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

You put too much frames on your monitor

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

input lag?

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

no

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

i agree its probably screen tearing

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:53 PM

#

Blurry far away but not up close

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

too many frmaes

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

like apex

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

but your monitor can handle it

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

no yeah I mean

#

could input lag be it

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

or is that just how it is

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

I have a 144 hz monitor

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

If you have good internet no

#

Try not to play over 144 fps

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

ok

#

should I cap it?

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

It can cause screen tearing

#

yep

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

cause I have been advised against doing like v-sync

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

go to video settings and set the frame cap to 144

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:54 PM

#

DONT USE VSYNC

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

isnt that the same thing

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

IT KILLS YOUR FRAMES

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

trash

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

NOPE

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

smh vsync cuts my frames in half

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

vsync is trash lol

#

never use it

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

because v-sync just caps your frames to your monitor's refresh rate

#

no I agree

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

g sync yes

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

I dont use it

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

vsync no

#

ok

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

it keeps it at a consistent frame rate

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

@midnight bridge if you really want to, get a g-sync enabled monitor

#

or freesymc

#

freesync*

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

what does freesync doi

#

*do

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

but it costs like 600 for ag sync monitor

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

its the amd version of g-sync

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

yep

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

lol cheap version of g sync

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

lmao

rose lodge Jun 11, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

but why does apex look so blurry in the distance

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

@midnight bridge amd is good

#

theyre inexpensive but its a good brand

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

I know I'm joking

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

just take a look at their third gen of processors

#

oh ok

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

@rose lodge try making your view distance higher

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

#

they have nasty new processors

#

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:56 PM

their new threadripper has 32 cores and 64 threads

#

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

Exactly

#

For like 700 bucks

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

like with massive simulations

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

it could be helpful if youre doing large scale premiere movie production

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

yep

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

so not worth it as a gamer

#

honestly

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

No

halcyon fossil Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

but those people have enough money to by 10000 threadrippers

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:57 PM

#

An i7 9900k is honestly the best cpu

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

wait should I get the 2060, 1070, or 1660?

#

theoretically

visual blade Jun 11, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

2060 or 1660

#

if you have a budget

#

if not go for the 2070

midnight bridge Jun 11, 2019, 9:58 PM

#

yeah

I'm afraid of bottlenecking though

@hallow aurora Rust will destroy any pc, it's just badly optimized...

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 2:58 PM

like i said they could also just buy a 1080 or 1080 ti and still have more than enough juice to run those specific games on max settings

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 2:58 PM

Its nice

#

So the link that you sent @noble turtle would be everything i would need ?

noble turtle Jun 14, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

pretty much, I'm adding some more cause I forgot a few things

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

Computer Component Buying Checklist: (Correct me if i forgot something):
Processor (Ryzen 5/Intel Core i5 or better)
Motherboard (Make sure you get one thats good enough for your use case, and get a really good one if youre doing overclocking)
Graphics Card (GTX 1070/RTX 2060 or better)
RAM (16GB or more for gaming)
Power Supply (850w is a good standard unless you have super extreme hardware, this large size also is good for upgrading later)
Storage Devices (can be SSD or HDD, SSD is faster)
Case with 3 or more fans (fans can be bought aftermarket but they can be expensive if you want RGB)

noble turtle Jun 14, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

like case fans

Okk

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

Yeah but realistically even if I was to fill my SSD, I have another 15tb waiting for it. I would just switch out my games and just switch them onto the SSD whenever I paly

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 2:59 PM

#

I have no case fans 😦

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

ugh my power went out

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

Have a thermaltake P5

#

requires no fans 😄

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:00 PM

#

i recommend the Thermaltake Level 20 MT ARGB

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

Ive spent way too much on my PC :/

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

comes with all the case fans you need, looks good, includes a PSU cover for even better looks, RGB, and all for $100

warm belfry Jun 14, 2019, 3:01 PM

:•

#

That’s still expensive

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

And I dont even ahve anything to upgrade anymore...I finally upgraded my processor and that was the last thing I needed

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:01 PM

#

powers back on

#

also was my component buying checklist good?

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

Could upgrade to the intel zeon

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 3:02 PM

#

i was going to upgrade to the 2700x but waiting for 3700x now and a better MB

intel is good but have you seen Ryzen 3rd gen?

near steppe Jun 14, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

3rd gen isnt even out yet

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 3:03 PM

#

for gaming alone yes hands down... but i use mine for other projects and amd is destroying intel in that aspect

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:03 PM

yeah

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:03 PM

well guess Ill ahve to save up for the intel xeon

#

Thats the last upgrade I will ever need for years now

hallow aurora Jun 14, 2019, 3:04 PM

#

sadly everything now gets outdated within 2-4 years :/ before components would last you 4-5.... damn technology boom lol

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:05 PM

#

Nahhh my build as is will last the next 6-7 years...They are using my PC at college universities for extreme astrophysics simulators.

#

And my build runs it flawless and it doesnt even come close to maxing it out

Nah my local computer store had one, idk the brnad or anything dont really care about it but they hooked everything up and everything

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

@halcyon fractal along with the release of those new processors next month also comes new motherboards which support PCI 4.0 which is faster than the current PCI 3.0

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

No @hallow aurora it is a 860 evo samsung 2tb

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:11 PM

#

there arent many things that support it yet, but if you wanna be future proof id wait till next month too see if the new AMD processors are worth it

#

its also backwards compatible so no worries there

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Just go i9 and never worry again

halcyon fractal Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

I will need to save up for this anyways so it might be next month anyways lol

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

lol

#

@tardy shoal while the i9 is great, the next gen amd processors might be better and cheaper

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

You can buy it piece by piece, you dont need to buy it all at once

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

we will see though

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

Uhhh doubtful

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

how so

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

It might be cheaper but Intel has always been better than AMD

near steppe Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

amd hasnt been known to better at IPC than intel, i also doubt 3rd gen

#

CatSip

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

and thats evidence that they will always be better though?

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

#

Realistically if you only play for gaming the AMD is the better choice but for cybersecurity and coding I need intel

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:13 PM

oh

#

well yeah

#

they have their different strengths

whats IPC? @near steppe (sorry im dumb)

why the micro atx board?

all the cheap b450 mobos are matx

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:20 PM

hm ok

just a note

#

the stock cooler with that processor might block a ram slot

#

just be careful

noble turtle Jun 14, 2019, 3:20 PM

nvm found a good ATX one for $10 more

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:20 PM

go with that

I trust asrock too

havent heard of asrock that much

idk if theyre any good

i wont judge tho

some people say thermaltake is cheap and fake but i think theyre a good brand

ok then

noble turtle Jun 14, 2019, 3:22 PM

@near steppe what cas latency would you reccomend

#

the cheapest cas 15 jumps up $100 for a 32gb kit

#

for 3200mhz that is

near steppe Jun 14, 2019, 3:25 PM

#

14 or lower if you can xD, but this is all preference

is the drop to 3000mhz worth a 14/15 cas latency?

near steppe Jun 14, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

no

#

3200 cas 15 should be fine

its basically nano seconds

and 2 memory channels

idk if the gpu upgrade is all that important tho @viral reef

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:36 PM

nvm I lied, Im upgrading to a 4tb Samsung Evo SSD then that will be my last upgrade ever

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:36 PM

nice

#

give it a couple years and ur gonna be doing upgrades again 😂

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:38 PM

#

nah, realistically my graphics card wont be another upgrade for at least 4 years, Im guessing the 6 year rate. My processor is the same lines and motherboard I shouldnt ever have to replace. My ram is good at 4x16gb sticks. Like honestly there is not anything out there that can clock my pc out and thats including every VR game out there and simulators.

but things are always getting better

and more power hungry

but yeah your build is gonna last awhile

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:40 PM

bruh Im telling you, it will be years till anything is strenuous on my build and I mean years at which point I can still run this build for another few years.

just wait for ray tracing vr games 😄

im not doubting your pc will last a long time

just saying this wont be the end-all of upgrades for the rest of eternity

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

You right but I dont have to think about it for a long time. Honestly really want that 4tb SSD though but at the same time its so unnecessary :/

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:43 PM

#

well a lot of that is unnecessary (no offense)

#

but yea 4tb is a lot

#

especially with an SSD

#

thats gonna be good

tardy shoal Jun 14, 2019, 3:43 PM

I mean I have 17tb total :/

halcyon fossil Jun 14, 2019, 3:43 PM
