Do you guys think black friday or cyber monday will have the best deals?
empty pollen
ofc they will
cyber monday specially
if you are thinking about deals on new gen, not likely
probably on older gens, like 5000x or 11th or 10th series, heck maybe 30 series
could be a huge chance of 12th gen deals as well
who knows?
strong raft
Cyber monday often ups the list price of much tech then discounts off that
empty pollen
but 13th gen/7000x and 40 series/7000xt series... probably not
empty pollen
Cyber monday often ups the list price of much tech then discounts off that
yeah maybe i worded it wrong... not deals, more like combos
strong raft
Decent price for 12600K would even be just hitting $230or less again
empty pollen
by the look of it ill probably end buying a 12600k 
empty pollen
my plans for 13th gen were destroyed with the 1200usd 4080
need to get money fast.... need to jump on a bank
😛
empty pollen
this is the thing... 2k for mobo/ram/cpu and gpu
cyan ravine
Ah
But used Bee ded or ballistonks will be cheapish
Then a cheap but decent used z690
empty pollen
probably, ill need to fit a mobo cpu ram combo on a 600 budget
thats why 13th gen probably is a no no
a 12600k is more viable at this point
cyan ravine
If we consider the amount of data and the proposed boost (even if it's DLSS) the jump from pcie 2 to pcie 4 is 4x
And a 3090 saturated pcie 2
empty pollen
cyan ravine
I imagine to do this you'd need an extreme case though like some 1080p high fps game tho
empty pollen
well you dont buy a 4090 to play at 1080p
empty pollen
and dlss3 seems to be fully on tensor cores, lifting the cpu bneck
cyan ravine
It don't look good for team red rn I won't deny it
empty pollen
no, dlss3 nailed that coffin
no upscaling but complete new frames? like woooa man, slow down
cyan ravine
and dlss3 seems to be fully on tensor cores, lifting the cpu bneck
You still push the cpu harder on dlss due to more frame rendering, and this is amplified with such a huge boost
Such a wide gamut leaves a lot of options for better quality rendering too
DLSS 3 literally carried it
empty pollen
yup
the more cryptic thing is that november 3 date
rdna3 launch? paper launch?
announcement? hello?
little osprey
if you are thinking about deals on new gen, not likely
Im thinking old gen
Not the brand new gen
empty pollen
as chillin said
likely they will up prices to mask them as "deals"
but could be some nice combos anyway
little osprey
Cyber monday often ups the list price of much tech then discounts off that
So you think they'll increase the price then "discount" it?

Total budget?
Also @fossil cedar if you're not busy can you get this one? I'm on mobile and finding parts when I don't know exactly what to look for is annoying
analog laurel
around the same as the total in the partpicker but around 1200 cad without tax
mossy venture
Oh also, did you buy the case and ram already?
analog laurel
no for ram I have student discount which gives me 15% off for corsair products so that's why it's marked
for case just what I'm willing to spend
mossy venture
Alr, I guess it's fine then
analog laurel
but I find meshify c mini to be pretty cool
mossy venture
Smthn like this https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/chxFxs
I'd definitely recommend that case over the meshify, since it comes with the three rgb fans
fossil cedar
Lemme see what i can do
fossil cedar
build critique please: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/kmx4JM
for canada, 1080p...
You already bought the ram?
mossy venture
Actuallt here, I changed the ram
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZQYcmr
Very similar price for better quality control
analog laurel
how do you know it's bettter? just better quality?
mossy venture
Corsair is known for mixing dies in the same kits of ram
Meaning it might not even run at 3200mhz
fossil cedar
Ah okay well they're a bad price unless you're really looking for rgb
mossy venture
Also true ^
fossil cedar
Corsair is known for mixing dies in the same kits of ram
I haven't seen that also cam just rma
mossy venture
I've seen it 10+ times by now
analog laurel
oh ok
mossy venture
It's hilariously common
analog laurel
what do you guys think about motherboard choice?
mossy venture
Considering how big of an issue it is
analog laurel
I have no clue in terms of motherboard
fossil cedar
@analog laurel how much you want rgb ram btw?
analog laurel
I mean it's just a nice to have honestly
that's why I also originally added the corsair rgb fan kit
in the build
fossil cedar
Hold on
fossil cedar
It'll basically cost you 10$ more for rgb ram (also white) so up to you
analog laurel
oh ok but are the fans that come with the case argb?
mossy venture
Yes
analog laurel
I just want black
mossy venture
Oh is ck560 cheaper or smthn?
analog laurel
everything
fossil cedar
Yee
mossy venture
Oh sick
Patos list will probably be better
Similar but more cost effective in some areas
analog laurel
the only reason I had the meshify c mini before was because I kind of wanted a smaller case
aren't these pretty big?
mossy venture
Ah
analog laurel
or does it not matter
mossy venture
I mean they are big, but if you have the space bigger cases tend to have better airflow
If you want matx there's some fine choices though
fossil cedar
Doesn't matter but bigger case will have better temps
Also matx are just slightly less tall sooo
Pretty useless imo
analog laurel
what matx cases would you guys recommend
fossil cedar
None personally
analog laurel
hm ok
mossy venture
I believe o11 air mini is matx, maybe lian li 205 mesh is matx? Might be smallish atx
Prices probably suck for Canada though
fossil cedar
They take up the same space, apart from height but that shouldn't be an issue and are usually worse
There is a 205m but it's h510 like
mossy venture
Ah
fossil cedar
O11 air mini is atx
mossy venture
Wait it is?
mossy venture
Why is it called mini then lmao
analog laurel
lol
worn wave
Because it is smaller than the normal O11.
fossil cedar
@analog laurel is do this
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2BH9Fg
It'll actually do 1440p like a beast too
mossy venture
Yep, definitely better than mine lol
analog laurel
oh ok seems good
and would I need more fans or that's enough
like 3 intake 1 exhaust
mossy venture
That's enough
fossil cedar
Tis plenty
mossy venture
Especially for lower power parts like the 5600 and 3060 ti. I run a similar build in a case with much worse airflow and it's fine
analog laurel
also I only play league and valorant so I don't think I even need a 3060 ti
mossy venture
Could drop gpu to 6650xt if you want it to be cheaper ig, the one for $430
analog laurel
I thought for price to performance 6600 was good enough
mossy venture
20-25% by a quick guess
analog laurel
ok great thank you guys both
fossil cedar
also I only play league and valorant so I don't think I even need a 3060 ti
You don't but i was just doing the best for your budget, if you wanna spend less that's an option too
But 3060 ti does allow you to go 1440p nicely
mossy venture
6650xt would run league and val at 1440p more than fine tho
fossil cedar
Yeah true
analog laurel
yea but the thing is I already have 1080p
but maybe for futureproof
if I do get a better monitor
mossy venture
Gonna be cpu limited anyways, should till get very similar or identical fps at 1440p compared to 1080p
analog laurel
deepcool gammax?

even worse
There's no reasonably priced rgb coolers in Canada for your level of cooling needed
mossy venture
Veetro v5 best I can find, and it's $50. Which is pretty bad
fossil cedar
You'd be spending a stupid amount of money
mossy venture
Then stock cooler would be fine
fossil cedar
I mean I would rather have no light than just blue from gammaxx
There's no no led ones that are priced well either in canada
Would just use stock

Why from msi?
The msi pro-a is just a better board
Also if you're spending that much on an air cooler I'd get an artic LF2 from ebay b-stock
Much more perf/dollar
little osprey
How much is the pro a?
cyan ravine
Change to a 12600KF instead and then put more in to the GPU and go up to a cheaper 3080 for like $70
Ok my advice is a little dated, try this instead @little osprey

It's better, but for gaming gpu is more important

Ok, thanks again dude!

You can easily find Windows keys from fairly reputable sites for $20-25 but tbh you don't really need one. They make it seem like you do but you don't.
little osprey
What would you do instead?
potent portal
Well what I did was take the key off the side of an old Windows 7 Pro computer and activated it when I installed 10
It's a full retail key so it's fully transferrable and I'll never need to buy one
little osprey
Well I am upgrading from a pre built to this so could I take out the key from my pre built?
I am excited to build it but nervous at the same time
That ill mess something up
But the build that felix showed me will work with everything right, and fit with the right dimensions?
mossy venture
Yes, and just download windows to a USB drive from your current pc

Oh no 5800X
Who am I thinking of that had that too then?
Ahh yeah prob
Yep, that was a deal too good to pass up
I needed a new one anyway, since MSI sent me a board with literally nothing attached
I had a spare backplate for AM4 but no screws for the stock clip mount
So I needed a cooler that can screw it's own mechanism to the backplate
Yeah but I didn't get the AM4 one lol
Nah they already got back to me and they're sending one

I can help you make a better build

Alright
Although new gpus and cpus are launching soon
If you don't mind waiting a couple months, you'll have the latest and greatest
Oh yeah, you're planning to get 40 series. Nevermind lol
tough hill
Hahaha yeah
obsidian wigeon
CPU won't even be much of a concern even if it's older gen btw
Current stuff are plenty fast
tough hill
Sounds good. What do you think about the 12900K? Would you choose that over the 5950?
tough hill
Ok man. I’ll def consider putting that in instead of the other
I really appreciate it
obsidian wigeon
I'm making a whole new list for you
Also I would suggest going for at least 1440p monitor
4090 will make the cpu become a bottleneck at 1080p
Do you really want screen on the aio? H150i elite isn't exactly good at cooling, but it'll do fine. Though otherwise I can go with simple rgb aio for you
tough hill
Yeah sure man whatever youre thinking that would work good altogether should be fine. Just want everything to mesh well each other
Dont want anything bottlenecking
cyan ravine
4090 may even start to bottleneck 1440p depending on how true the claims are

Probably not but if it is, there exists some possibility
cyan ravine

None of this tbh

None of this tbh

Any higher than this is diminishing returns
Or wait 2 months for next gen and go 4080/7900XT and 13900K
With a bigger psu

Round like 5K
you can get better and newer parts for cheaper. if Intel, go with a 12th gen CPU (or wait for 13th gen)
fossil cedar
If you dont have a pc rn I'd do this (use integrated gpu for 2 weeks til 4090 drop)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zWjyyK
If you do, I'd wait for 13th gen or ryzen 7000 but it would look something like the list i sent anyway

just a question guys I've never water cooled a gpu so I wouldn't know but
is this an ok way to watercool the gpu?
analog laurel
why is it not good
mossy venture
I have no clue how to tell if it's good or not, but what's the point of a water cooled gpu with a cpu that's assumably low end enough a wraith prism can cool it
analog laurel
I think it's 1800x
mossy venture
With what gpu?
analog laurel
and 6700xt
mossy venture
Not much of a point to water cooling a 6700xt, a 6800 would cost the same price and be better
1800x also has terrible single core performance, heavily limiting the gpu anyways
analog laurel
I'm not sure but it's listed with a good price in canada for used
so I'm not sure if I should buy it
mossy venture
How much?
mossy venture
Mm
It's possible, but based off that build I doubt the person who made it knows much about pcs. It's very possible they messed the liquid cooling up
mossy venture
I wouldnt even put a 6700xt in a build with an 1800x, it's such an odd pairing. Unless maybe he upgraded an old build
analog laurel
hm
mossy venture
Idk, if he can prove its working I'd say it's fine
Maybe upgrade cpu soon if you can
analog laurel
how would I fix the watercooling?
it looks wrong even for me
like the pump is going downards
analog laurel
it's just the pump wouldn't last long no?
if there is an air pocket
I'm not an expert so I wouldn't know
mossy venture
Neither am I
Just with it being so cheap, pump configured oddly, and the weird parts summary, I wouldn't trust it
obsidian wigeon

It's a bit of a jumbled mess

Hm, alright
It's just that questions like these usually suggests decision of purchase lel

The only legitimate options for 4k gaming are 40 series gpus
mossy venture
Even the 3090/3080 12gb/6950xt struggle at 4k
ember sierra
Fair enough, yeah
mossy venture
4k gaming is all around a meme, id just stick to 1440p until pricing drops on new gpus
obsidian wigeon
Monitors are also still not very cheap
mossy venture
The nice thing is 5800x will be fine for a 4080 16gb at 4k
ember sierra
Sounds good
mossy venture
4k is heavily gpu limited, I doubt 5800x will be the limiting factor at 4k
ember sierra
But that means I cannot utilize the likely 30 series price drop because I need the 40s
mossy venture
I mean, if you find a 3090 for $500 go for it
ember sierra
Oh well, I don’t
mossy venture
But if you're expecting 144 fps at high settings, I doubt anything but new dlss would get that

anyway waiting on next gen either nvidia or amd heavily depends on your budget for the gpu

If you're still ordering cpu from the US, 10400 is $120

I mention reseating the cooler specifically so you can check for thermal paste, if there’s a tag covering the thermal paste, etc.
