Like video editing, rendering

stone garden
#

ah no plans to be doing any rendering at the moment

sterile wave
#

Using 3d editing programs etc

#

Ok

#

Cuz imo the only reason for a X570 board would be for more overclocking headroom and pcie4

#

And right now that m.2 ssd is not pcie4 iirc

#

So theres really no purpose in spending the extra buck for an x570

stone garden
#

Any other boards you would reccomend for the build then?

sterile wave
#

And I would also recommend some faster ram as well

#

I'll edit that part list a bit

stone garden
#

Thanks a lot

sterile wave
#

Wow ram is expensive in uk

stone garden
#

Is it way cheaper elsewhere?

upper condor
#

Wonderful

#

Do you have amazon prime

#

If so, find some that ships free from america

sterile wave
#

Me me pump is the one ordering

#

So I guess that's a question for u

upper condor
#

Oh my bad

stone garden
#

I have Amazone Prime anyway so no worries

upper condor
#

Just got here

sterile wave
#

Nah nw it's a good idea

stone garden
#

But yeah filtering for prime is a good shout

upper condor
#

Mhm

#

You wont have as wide of a choice but it will still probably have some

sterile wave
#

And yeah it's a lot cheaper AFAIK in canada and us

upper condor
#

Yeah

stone garden
#

Geuss the UK just doesn't make much RAM?

upper condor
#

No

#

The US just dominates the pc building industry

#

And canada is really close

stone garden
#

Hopefully there'll be some decent RAM shipping from the US then

upper condor
#

I can check at the same time

#

How much do you want?

sterile wave
#

I was looking for a 3600 cl16

#

For him

upper condor
#

Hmmm ok

sterile wave
#

Rn the build has 3200 cl16, which isn't too much of a difference

#

But with some luck, there'll be a decent 3600 16 kit for not too much more

stone garden
#

Sorry if I'm not able to answer questions all that well I'm not very knowledgeable about pc parts

sterile wave
#

It's OK

stone garden
#

Thanks again for all the help

upper condor
#

Its fine

#

I found one for 88

#

Ships free

sterile wave
#

Hmm, the current 3200 cl16 is ยฃ56

upper condor
#

Teah

sterile wave
#

Which is a pretty good deal

upper condor
#

I got one from america I mean

sterile wave
#

Let me Google pound to usd conversion

upper condor
#

It's like 80 I think

#

73.96

sterile wave
#

Oh OK perfect

upper condor
#

Ye

#

Hey I'm making a new build you mind checking out everything?

#

I need a 2nd opinion

#

I know the ram is not amazing but

#

Its rgb

sterile wave
#

Saved like ยฃ40 or so on mobo

#

That can go towards a better mobo

#

And can u link the ram u found girafe

upper condor
#

Wait

#

Does he already have a desktop with windows?

sterile wave
#

And yeah I'll look

#

Good question

stone garden
#

I'm assuming that the bios warning isn't actually an issue

upper condor
#

No

sterile wave
#

Correct

upper condor
#

It rarely is

stone garden
#

I do currently have a desktop with windows 7

upper condor
#

Oh

sterile wave
#

Hmm

upper condor
#

Well if you're fine with that you can save

#

But I'd just get windows 10

stone garden
#

Yeah

sterile wave
#

Can u still upgrade for free from 7 to 10?

#

Or nawh

upper condor
#

No

sterile wave
#

Ahh unlucky

stone garden
#

Nah

upper condor
#

That was only for like 1 year I think

stone garden
#

They stopped that after the windows 10 beta was over or something

#

I regret not doing it at the time now T_T

sterile wave
#

I mean what

stone garden
#

lol

upper condor
#

Huh?

sterile wave
#

No illegal things going on here

#

:)

stone garden
#

I'm certainly not against that

upper condor
#

I have one with win 10 so its easier

#

Well I mean......

stone garden
#

Isn't windows 10 pretty much free anyway?

upper condor
#

No

#

70 pounds

#

Or like 69

stone garden
#

nice

upper condor
#

Hehe

stone garden
#

I was under the impression that you could download it for free but had then had to buy a super cheap cd key

#

Though I geuss those super cheap keys aren't on the official websites huh

sterile wave
#

Hehe no they aren't

upper condor
#

Is 2070 super good for 1080p?

#

It is right

sterile wave
#

Yeah ok

#

Just had a look at ur build

#

Won't comment much on peripherals

#

Those are mostly preference and they look good

upper condor
#

Yeah

sterile wave
#

That monitor is quite a cheap 144hz tho

upper condor
#

I know

sterile wave
#

I believe Linus tech tips have a review on it

upper condor
#

But good reviews

#

I'll check

sterile wave
#

Where they pointed out some ghostinf/yellowing issues

upper condor
#

YeAh

sterile wave
#

Oh yeah that reminds me, @stone garden you don't need to worry about liquid cooling, that air cooler is ๐Ÿ‘Œ

upper condor
#

True

stone garden
#

That's great

upper condor
#

I chose the AIO for ultra overclocking

stone garden
#

Was slightly worries about needing to learn how to install a water cooler and destroying my computer

upper condor
#

It's not that hard

stone garden
#

I don't imagine it's super difficult but I can still imagine myself somehow soaking all of my parts lol

upper condor
#

They have tutorials for everything

#

Its closed

sterile wave
#

Did u choose wifi X570 cuz u need the wifi?

upper condor
#

No its chea

sterile wave
#

Hmmm

upper condor
#

Im not the best with using b450s and flashing it

sterile wave
#

Overclocking on cheap x570's results in rather high temps

#

From what I've read and heard

upper condor
#

Would it be better with a good b450?

sterile wave
#

Most of the popular b450's don't need flashing for ryzen 3000 compatibility

#

If they have MAX in the title, they come with ryzen 3000 support already installed

upper condor
#

Oh ok

#

Didnt know that

#

I can save a lot then, and also get better stuff

sterile wave
#

U caaaan overclock on b450 but

#

U mentioned ultra overclocking

upper condor
#

Not ultra

sterile wave
#

So u probably want a good x470 or X570 board

upper condor
#

Yeah

sterile wave
#

A good X570 will cost

upper condor
#

230+

#

I've done research

sterile wave
#

Nice

#

Idk much about x470's tbh

upper condor
#

Same I'll check

sterile wave
#

But I assume theyre a decent amount cheaper

upper condor
#

Hopefully

#

He says it's pretty good

#

For 150 at least

#

Only at 144 tho

sterile wave
#

Oh was that the one he overclocked to 165

upper condor
#

Then 240hz

#

Yeah

sterile wave
#

Or higher I don't r e. Ever

#

Remember

#

What did he say about ghosting

#

I don't really remember, just know he said smth about it

upper condor
#

He said theres smearing but no artifacts

#

He says dang for the price

#

Oh the sceptre includes a display port

sterile wave
#

Oh OK then go all for it if it satisfies u :D

upper condor
#

Yeah my current is a monitor from like 2013

#

So I'll definitely notice the difference

#

470s are pretty expensive

#

I mean the ryzen 7 3700x is good without overclocking right

sterile wave
#

For sure

#

I'm not sure about how much ull gain from overclocking

#

As ryzen 3000 is alreqdy pushed to near limit

#

That said, overclocking on b450 is still viable

#

If u just want to push the 3700 a lil more

#

And u save some bucks

upper condor
#

I did

#

I saved a lot of bucks

#

I can probably get a 2080 then

#

I might get non rgb ram....

sterile wave
#

๐Ÿ˜…

#

It's OK maybe 2020 won't be rgb addiction

upper condor
#

Idk 2080s are expensive I'll see one sec

#

Ok no rgb ram

#

Hmmm

#

Updated list

sterile wave
#

I'd spend the extra $11 for a b450 tomahawk max

#

Just skip a meal one day, it's worth

#

Xd

upper condor
#

It is max

sterile wave
#

Yeah but u chose the gaming plus

upper condor
#

Yes

#

Gaming plus MAX

sterile wave
#

AFAIK, the tomahawk has better vrms

upper condor
#

I couldnt find any max tomahawk

sterile wave
upper condor
#

Nvm I'm sticking with the 2070 super

#

It's still good

sterile wave
#

Yeah I was gunna talk about that next

upper condor
#

Ohhhh

#

Ok

sterile wave
#

2080 for 1080p 144hz

#

It's a bit much

#

Even for max settings

upper condor
#

Even the 2060 super is

sterile wave
#

I think 2070s is perfect choice

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

And good price

#

Then I can get rgb ram hehe

jaunty karma
#

Henlo

upper condor
#

Hey

jaunty karma
#

What are good mouses

upper condor
#

Well are you trying to get synced RGB

jaunty karma
#

round $40

upper condor
#

Hmmm

jaunty karma
#

Around 40-80

upper condor
#

The G-502 hero is 42, dont have it but it seems like it's really good

#

It's a bit heavy

jaunty karma
#

I would like a light one

upper condor
#

Ok

#

Wireless or no?

#

And do you have bigger hands

#

The razer deathadder elite

vivid atlas
upper condor
#

My bad

vivid atlas
#

Np ๐Ÿ˜‰

stone garden
#

Giraffe do you still have that link to the RAM you found?

upper condor
#

Yees

#

It'll take longer to get to you by the way

stone garden
#

American shipping?

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

But free

stone garden
#

No worries I'm fine with a bit of a wait

upper condor
#

Ok lemme link

stone garden
#

Especially if it'll save me some money ๐Ÿ˜„

upper condor
#

Well how much is it in uk or at least the one you're looking at

#

This one is 65 pounds 2x8 3600

stone garden
#

Oh I never found any on Amazon or pc part picker I was just under the impression you had found one for a good deal?

stone garden
#

Is that the right one?

#

This one costs ยฃ86

upper condor
#

Weird

#

It brings you to uk?

stone garden
#

The uk website?

upper condor
#

Yeah does it

stone garden
#

Oh no sorry

#

that's super weird

#

I changed the url when I put it in to the uk website

#

but it's way more expensive for some reason on the uk site

upper condor
#

Yeah

stone garden
#

That's pretty odd huh

sterile wave
#

Hmm, unless u find a 3600mhz cl16, I wouldn't bother shipping from America

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

The price is a bit higher but honestly its easier

sterile wave
#

3600cl18 and 3200cl16 have same true latency

upper condor
#

Thanks for linking that tomahawk max btw

sterile wave
#

So I would just get the original 3200cl16 that was in the original link from reddit since it's good enuf

#

And np

stone garden
#

ah alright I'll just add it back to the part picker list

#

Thanks for the advice man

upper condor
#

Now I'm under budget by 160 dollars yaaay

stone garden
#

uh stupid question but how would I be able to find and add back the ram from the reddit list

upper condor
#

๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

stone garden
#

ikr

upper condor
#

Where in UK are you by the way

stone garden
#

I'm from Scotland

upper condor
#

Cause I also live here

stone garden
#

Also I think I got it sorted

upper condor
#

Good

#

Do you already have monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.

stone garden
#

Yeah pretty much

#

I'm gonna be getting a new monitor though since my current is just 60hz

upper condor
#

Ok

#

Make sure to work that into your budget

#

1080p?

stone garden
#

Was probably gonna go for 1440p

upper condor
#

Mk

stone garden
#

but I could cut back to 1080 without being too worried

upper condor
#

If you have the budget go for 1440 by all means

sterile wave
#

I wouldn't cut back to 1080p with a 2080 super

#

That's sort of just a waste

stone garden
#

Yeah that's what I was thinking

sterile wave
#

Unless u trying to play bf5 rtx max settings 144hz lol

stone garden
#

No point in spending so much on a great computer if you can't display it

upper condor
#

Facts

stone garden
#

How does rtx actually work btw?

upper condor
#

It just has ray tracing

stone garden
#

I've heard a lot of talk about it but wasn't sure how much it actually did

sterile wave
#

Basically u sacrifice like 30% of ur performance or more

#

For some better lighting

upper condor
#

Yep

sterile wave
#

๐Ÿ˜…

stone garden
#

Sounds about right

upper condor
#

Someone was helping me pick out parts yesterday and turna out we live in the same city

stone garden
#

that's pretty cool

upper condor
#

From this discord also

stone garden
#

It's always weird when you find someone online that's even remotely clsoe to you irl

#

You never really consider where others are from online

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

I met up with one once

stone garden
#

did it go well?

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

He was friends with my irl friend

#

Also I recently met up with my best friend from 3rd grade

#

He moved to saudia arabia

stone garden
#

That must have been really nice

#

I could imagine it being pretty awkward after so much time passing though

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

We still played xbox tho

#

Fortnite

#

When it was popular though

stone garden
#

Well it's still pretty popular

upper condor
#

You need any more help?

stone garden
#

I think at least

upper condor
#

I mean during its prime

#

Like season 3-5

stone garden
#

Oh well yeah I guess it certainly isn't being talked about as much

#

I don't think I need any more help

upper condor
#

Just @ if you do

stone garden
#

But I'll be sure to come back here if I do

upper condor
#

Good luck

stone garden
#

Actually one last thing

#

Do you have any reccomendations for a monitor ๐Ÿ˜„

upper condor
#

1440p?

stone garden
#

Yeah

upper condor
#

144hz?

stone garden
#

yep

upper condor
#

First how much you willing to spend

stone garden
#

Are they not all roughly the same price?

upper condor
#

Nope

#

1440p is pretty expensive

#

It all depends

#

On how much

stone garden
#

I know it is expensive but I mean if it's 1440 and 144 won't all of the same specs be around the same average

upper condor
#

Theres also the colors

#

Some have vibrant some are dull

#

The wider the spectrum the more expensive

stone garden
#

ah alright i never really considered other monitor specs than res and hz

upper condor
#

I can find one just gimme ur budget for it

stone garden
#

I'd probably be looking for nothing more expensive than like ยฃ300?

upper condor
#

Hmmm

stone garden
#

But I'm not really sure on the average price for monitors since I've not looked into them till now

upper condor
#

Lemme see

stone garden
#

I might be willing to stretch the budget if they're all way more expensive than that

#

I'll take a look on amazon and check the averages

upper condor
#

One sec

#

Found one for 190 pounds

#

Lemme check reviews

stone garden
#

oh that's a lot cheaper than I was expecting

upper condor
#

Same

#

4 stars

stone garden
#

I was worried they were all going to be in thr ยฃ450 range

upper condor
#

It is american tho

#

So shipping or just not being on uk

stone garden
#

I'm not in a huge rush so I don't mind the shipping time

upper condor
#

Sorry I'm playing r6

stone garden
#

No worries lol

upper condor
#

I'll check

stone garden
#

Enjoy your game for now and check when it's over

upper condor
#

Cant be shipped to UK

#

I'll see if its on amazon

stone garden
#

Thanks a lot

upper condor
#

Oooooof

#

It's really expensive on uk

stone garden
#

T_T of course it is

#

Why is the UK cursed with such high prices

upper condor
#

330 pounds

#

But

#

31.5 inch

#

144hz 140p

#

Curved

stone garden
#

oooo curved

#

very fancy lol

upper condor
#

1ms response time

stone garden
#

Sounds pretty good

upper condor
#

Lemme link it

#

A bit over budget

#

But worth it I think

#

NOOOOOO

#

Estimated arrival Feb 5-March 19!

stone garden
#

omg

stone garden
#

Yeah this one does seem better

upper condor
#

Only 24 inch though

stone garden
#

Does this one have a higher refresh rate too

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

165 you could push it to 200 probably

stone garden
#

Seems great

#

I don't mind it being a bit smaller

upper condor
#

Yeah def

stone garden
#

More space on my desk I geuss lol

upper condor
#

If you later get another and duel screen

#

Itll be really goid

stone garden
#

I should be able to just keep my current monitor and use it too right?

upper condor
#

Oh yeah true

stone garden
#

Or will the different resolutions cause issues?

upper condor
#

No

#

Itll look weird maybe

#

If you stream you can look at chat on the worse one

#

And play on the good one

stone garden
#

I mean as long as it works

upper condor
#

Dont trust me saying that though, never done it myself

stone garden
#

Keep stuff like discord open on the worse one

#

It'll be worth a shot anyway

upper condor
#

If you dont dual screen itll be fine

#

You can look at tutorials or something

#

You good now?

stone garden
#

Yeah I think that's me all set

#

If I have any more questions I'll be sure to @ you

#

Thanks so much for all the help

upper condor
#

Great!

#

No prob

#

Send pics of ur build when done

stone garden
#

I will ๐Ÿ˜„

upper condor
#

Aight

#

Good luck

stone garden
#

Thanks I'm sure I'll need it

upper condor
#

Naaa

#

Search up bitwit how to build a pc

#

Hour long vid goes in depth

stone garden
#

Probably a good idea It's been a little while since I built a pc

upper condor
#

Mhm

obsidian sand
#

hey everyone, I am looking to put together a new system as the main drive I want to purchase XPG SX8200 Pro PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 512GB SSD (ASX8200PNP-512GT-C). Would this drive be good and 100% compatible with ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA AMD AM3+ FX DDR3 Intel Gb Ethernet M.2 USB 3.1 970 ATX Motherboard this motherboard?

upper condor
#

Hmm one sec

#

Well what's the cpu?

#

@obsidian sand?

obsidian sand
#

fx 8350 Vishera AM3+ 942

austere condor
#

no

upper condor
#

Is there a reason you arent going for amd or intel?

austere condor
#

AM3+ being so old, it doesnt have M.2 support

upper condor
#

Yeah

#

Uh

#

That CPU is not a good choice

austere condor
#

FX 8350 is 8 years old now?

#

i wouldnt recommend buying one new

#

lol

#

@obsidian sand

#

yep

#

just about 8 years old

#

even when it released

#

it wasnt very good

upper condor
#

Exactly

#

On paper it looks eh, 8 core 4.0ghz but then

#

8 years?

austere condor
#

not even a true 8 core

#

whats your budget for the new PC?
what are you using the PC for?
what country are you buying the PC in?

@obsidian sand

obsidian sand
#

all I am asking is if htat SSD is compatible with the motherboard/CPU?

#

I am actually rebuilding a PC with old parts

#

?!??!?!!

austere condor
#

no, that SSD is not compatible with that motherboard

#

any M.2 or NVMe SSD will not be compatible

#

@obsidian sand

quartz hill
#

Got a question for you all. Looking to upgrade my motherboard in the near future from a b450m for my 3900x, anyone gor recommendations at the 200 price point?

obsidian sand
#

oooh it does

#

1 x M.2 Socket 3, , with M Key, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (PCIE 2.0 x4)

#

is XPG SX8200 Pro PCIe NVMe Gen3 x4 M.2 2280 512GB SSD (ASX8200PNP-512GT-C) compatible with that m.2 socket 3 with M key?

austere condor
#

hmm, technically it is, but its an older slot thats only half the speed of what the drive is capable of

obsidian sand
#

ahhh so its not worth it than, I currently have an EVO 850 SSD and this drive is like 2x as fast but u r saying it would be a waste because the old port won't be able to support the fast speed of the drive anyway?

austere condor
#

yep, the SSD is a PCIe 3.0 4x, and the slot on the old AMD motherboard is a PCIe 2.0 4x.

obsidian sand
#

what would be the best / highest end video card to put in this FX 8350 machine without bottlenecking, I currently have an R9 280x in it by Windforce

austere condor
#

most any modern graphics card you put in that PC will be bottlenecked by your CPU

obsidian sand
#

thank you Demonmit1, i can't afford a new PC right now, was laid off from my old job and i have been unemployed broke and in debt for the past 1.75 years

austere condor
#

unless you're picking out something extremely low end

#

like a RX 550, or a GT 1030

#

do you already have the motherboard? or are you planning on buying it? @obsidian sand

obsidian sand
#

yes yes yes I have the motherboard

#

its an existing PC

austere condor
#

what is your budget to upgrade this PC?

obsidian sand
#

just wanted to know if I can put that drive into it and if I would notice a significant difference in speed vs my EVO 850 SSD

#

i dont have any money, i am broke, in debt and unemployed but I did get a 100$ gift card for christmas that would allow me to get that m.2 drive

austere condor
#

you would see very little performance increase at all upgrading from a sata based SSD, that you currently have, to a NVMe SSD, in just system responsiveness, programs opening faster, etc etc. there is 0 benefit to workstation, or gaming performance upgrading your SSD.

obsidian sand
#

okay, thank you very much Demonmit1

#

I am currently studying for my CompTIA A+ and I figured I'd upgrade to a bigger SSD so I can run some virtual boxes of it

#

my current SSD is only 250, wanted to get at least a 500

austere condor
#

you'd probably find better use in getting a 1TB sata SSD for around $80-$90

#

if you specifically need storage

muted patio
#

PCI-E 2.0 M.2, which that motherboard supports, is 500MB/s, the same as a Sata SSD

obsidian sand
#

Demonmit, I have been looking at the Evo 970 PLUS

#

would htat be a waste too I guess?

austere condor
#

extremely

#

i would recommend either of those

#

if you have $100 to work with

#

and you need more SSD storage

obsidian sand
#

thank you very much

#

maybe I'll leave things as they are, until I find work and can afford to build a new PC all together

#

thank you as well Bekora

muted patio
#

YW

austere condor
#

that would honestly be the best option, as SSD prices will continue to drop in price, so, once you've got enough together to build a new system, high performance SSD storage should be cheaper

mossy citrus
#

Hi

austere condor
#

@quartz hill the Gigabyte X570 aorus elite, and the Asus TUF gaming X570-plus (WiFi) are the two best options in that price range right now

graceful falcon
#

I'm using an Aorus Elite with my 3600 and it's been great. Only complaint so far is that Gigabyte's RGB software is terrible, and that's more a minor inconvenience than anything.

if you need wifi, go for the TUF, if you dont, go for the aorus elite

muted patio
#

Yes. I have the TUF WiFi and it's pretty good. Best $200 mobo until you get to the $300-350 range feature/component wise

obsidian sand
#

I always hardwire my main desktop PC

mossy citrus
#

Hi

obsidian sand
#

hello Infinity

#

are any of you here in Toronto?

upper condor
#

Nope

obsidian sand
#

all good, not like it matters.. was just wondering

upper condor
#

@muted patio is the tuf gaming good?

#

Or the other one you linked? I thought most cheap x570 boards sucked

muted patio
#

Oh, the TUF WiFi is the b est mobo under $300-350 quality and feature wise

#

But either of those is fine

upper condor
#

Ok

#

Thanks

muted patio
#

YW

upper condor
#

Pre mounted IO shield?

muted patio
#

Pre mounted? Pretty sure you just have to pop it in the case

#

I don't think it's pre mounted

upper condor
#

Ok

muted patio
#

IO shields typically snap into the case, never seen one pre-mounted before

upper condor
#

Really? I've seen tons

muted patio
#

Example?

upper condor
#

The fancy x570s

#

That are 300

muted patio
#

Interesting

sudden turret
#

most newer boards have IO built in now

#

my x570 did, and it was the cheapest out there.

muted patio
#

Huh

#

My TUF WiFI came with an IO shield

sudden turret
#

gigabyte x570 gaming X

muted patio
#

Honestly never paid attention to it, not something I look for

austere condor
#

higher end model boards have it

upper condor
#

Can I use a 2060 super instead if a 2070 super and still have good frames at 1080p?

rocky dirge
#

yes

#

but 2060 super is not as good of a deal as 5700

muted patio
#

For streaming it is

#

AMD's encoder is a mess right now

rocky dirge
#

i just use my cpu for streaming, but i'd rather enjoy higher fps than broadcasting something nobody will watch :p

mossy citrus
#

Hi

real epoch
#

so i want to play minecraft but my computer is slow, so im thinking about building this
AMD Threadripper 3970x
Corsair h100i RGB
Asus Zenith II Extreme
256 GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB DDR4 3200
4x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2tb
2x MSI Gaming X Trio 2080 Ti
Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE
Asus ROG-THOR-1200P

#

do you think i will get 100fps all the time or no? i just wanna make sure

muted patio
#

Uh

#

All that to play MC?

sour temple
#

pro

real epoch
#

yeah

sour temple
#

i am making my pc

muted patio
#

dual 2080TI is ridiculous

sour temple
#

to play doom 95

real epoch
#

okay lmfao

#

im kidding

muted patio
#

Yeah

#

that's why I stopped lol

real epoch
#

thats a bit overkill

sour temple
#

if your going to be joking

#

you need dual FTW3s

real epoch
#

this is my actual build

muted patio
#

Bought yet?

sour temple
#

why a exturtal one

real epoch
#

yes

muted patio
#

Uh

#

where's the H100i?

real epoch
#

probably shouldve put it in build pics

sour temple
real epoch
#

im working to purchase it rn

muted patio
#

Ah, gotcha

#

Looks nice!

real epoch
#

i have like 70$

#

should i get the H100i?

muted patio
#

Ye

real epoch
#

is it worth it?

muted patio
#

It's a good cooler

#

Compared to the stock one you bethca

#

betcha

real epoch
#

ah okay

#

might just have to get a bit more $

sour temple
#

btw i am going to change to custom loop soon

#

after i move and a bit of time

real epoch
#

ah okay

sour temple
#

honesty i want a good pc but i feel like i bad some bad chooses with that one

real epoch
#

whats your current specs

sour temple
#

@muted patio what do you think

#

BAD

real epoch
#

i3 built in graphics

#

lmfao

sour temple
#

cpu is worse

muted patio
#

what is bad?

sour temple
#

the pc i use atm

#

would you pick something else for my pc

real epoch
#

wdym?

muted patio
#

I don't know what you have ATM so.......

sour temple
#

does not matter

#

nothing in the pc i have will be moving over

real epoch
#

ah okay

#

whats your new budget for your pc?

sour temple
#

for everything?

muted patio
#

No such thing as a bad PC provided it does what you need it to

real epoch
#

Yes

sour temple
#

6k

real epoch
#

Why is the 2080 super cheaper then the 2080

sour temple
#

but there is dual monitors keyboard and mouse

serene skiff
mossy citrus
#

Thats not bad

#

Just missing some parts

sour temple
#

like a video card

mossy citrus
#

And a cpu

#

And the cooler

serene skiff
#

Yip, once my cpu/GPU get in, she will be ready to go.

sour temple
#

hard drive

#

ssd

real epoch
serene skiff
#

The cooler is already in there. Just need the CPU before I can attach it

real epoch
#

Putting this here for people to see.

serene skiff
#

@sour temple hard drive is in the back and the SSD is on already

sour temple
#

i was about to say

#

5k buget

#

on a pc

serene skiff
#

This build is about 2.5k CDN or 2k ish USD

#

Would be closer to 3k if I wasn't building it myself

muted patio
#

Um, I'm not proficient in monitors

sour temple
#

who is?

mossy citrus
#

Depends

sour temple
#

depending on what

mossy citrus
#

What hardware

sour temple
#

list above

mossy citrus
#

What do u wanna kno?

sour temple
#

what one is better

mossy citrus
#

The bottom

sour temple
#

k but why

mossy citrus
#

More performance for 500 extra

#

But u may wanna cut down on storage

sour temple
#

umm i need my storage thou

mossy citrus
#

What for?

sour temple
#

video storage

#

i was talking about mointors btw xD

mossy citrus
#

O

sour temple
#

Top on is my pc

#

the othere are monitors

mossy citrus
#

The lg

#

Better value and true 1ms

#

And 1440p

sour temple
#

aorus is 1440p

mossy citrus
#

Ik

sour temple
#

and ips

mossy citrus
#

But the lg has g sync and can use 2 hdmi

#

Plus its nanoips

sour temple
#

Freesync

mossy citrus
#

Freesync is for amd

#

G sync is nvidia

#

Theyre basically the sane

#

Same

sour temple
#

some free sync monitors can use g sync

mossy citrus
#

Only if they have both

#

Lg can use both

muted patio
#

Nope

#

nVIdia added Freesync support to their drivers in January

#

SO it really doesn't matter now

sour temple
#

then its down to

#

what ones is better

mossy citrus
#

Lg has 2 hdmi

#

Sooo

sour temple
#

that does not mean its better

mossy citrus
#

Or just di whichever cheaper

muted patio
#

DP is more important for Freesync/Gsync

sour temple
#

i don't think my video card even has more then one hdmi port

mossy citrus
#

At this pint its just value and personal preference

sour temple
#

ant it down to rbg thou

zenith glacier

Is there any cheap way to make my h420 faster?

muted patio
#

We discussed this yesterday....

formal plover
#

Ik

#

But

#

I'm broke

sudden turret
#

well.

formal plover
#

There's no way that it will cost 500 dollars

sudden turret
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

formal plover
#

You can get a decent prebuilt for 500

#

Why can't I just put an i5 in it?

sudden turret
#

what is h420

formal plover
#

It's an ancient relic

sudden turret
#

Lenovo?

formal plover
#

Yeah

muted patio
#

from 2011

formal plover
#

Yeah

sudden turret
#

Which type, there are two of them

formal plover
#

I mean, it's not a bad pc, it just doesn't meet some standards

#

I'll send a pic

sudden turret
formal plover
#

Don't judge this is my phone camera

#

And, yes I have. A Razer headset with an old computer

sudden turret
#

so which one is it. 7752, or 10068

formal plover
#

Let me check

#

It says 7752

#

Is the other one better?

#

This one has a Pentium in it

muted patio
#

G620

#

240 watt psu

#

4 GB RAm

formal plover
#

6 gigs ram

#

@muted patio

#

6 gigs

muted patio
#

Ah, some has been added then

formal plover
#

No

#

It came like this

#

I think

sudden turret
#

H61M-S2-B3 mobo?

muted patio
#

H61 Express yes

sudden turret
#

LGA 1155 then

formal plover
#

It says 6g ram on the case

sudden turret
#

Intel Core i5-2400

#

Intel Core i7-2700k

#

be your best bet.

formal plover
#

Ok, right now it has a pentium

sudden turret
#

yep.

formal plover
#

Would I need a new psi for those though?

sudden turret
#

those two I posted are best 1155 socket cpu

formal plover
#

Ok

sudden turret
#

which is still about 90bucks on ebay

#

not worth it

formal plover
#

So, can you send me a link to a compatible i5 or i7 that's cheap cause idk what I'm looking for. Ok nvm

#

Nvm

sudden turret
#

well for the i7

#

i5 is around 20 bucks

formal plover
#

Really??

#

Only 20?

#

How many GHz?

muted patio
#

What about a CPU cooler for the increased TDP?

sudden turret
formal plover
#

Right now this has a 2.6 GHz

#

So, do you suggest an i5?

sudden turret
#

its 95w tdp

#

Im not suggesting anything

formal plover
#

Ok, do I need a new psi then?

sudden turret
#

best thing to do is save money, and not put any money into it.

formal plover
#

Yeah, but do you know what's happening in 14 days?

#

Windows 7 is gonna die ๐Ÿ˜ข

sudden turret
#

ok

formal plover
#

So, if I get an i5 will I need a new psu?

sudden turret
#

update it to windows 10 then?

formal plover
#

Uhh

muted patio
#

You can still get WIndows 10 upgrade for free

formal plover
#

I don't think this thing can run it, it has 1t his and I used 1t of it

#

Really, for free?

sudden turret
#

then make space.

formal plover
#

Ok

muted patio
sudden turret
#

I mean dang dude.

#

๐Ÿ˜„

formal plover
#

@muted patio Is that a pirated copy

sudden turret
#

did you click the link?

muted patio
#

-_-

sudden turret
#

read it.

formal plover
#

Ok

sudden turret
muted patio
#

Follow steps 1-5

formal plover
#

Ok

#

I'm just wondering, will an i5 help at all, and if so do i need a new psi and or cooling?

sudden turret
#

you see how it's a domino effect?

formal plover
#

Oh, do I need both then?

#

Is that why it's just not worth it?

sudden turret
#

im saying in order to upgrade something, you gotta upgrade something else.

#

so on and so on.

formal plover
#

Ok

sudden turret
#

it's not worth it to put any money in that build.

formal plover
#

Oh

sudden turret
#

save up, get something more up to date

formal plover
#

I can save, but I don't want to spend all of my money on a pc

#

So hmm

sudden turret
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

that's on you lol.

formal plover
#

Maybe I should just sell my stuff

sudden turret
#

get a console, dunno what to tell you.

formal plover
#

Oh, true

#

Fs2020 will be on xbox

muted patio
#

Oh, if you're wanting to play FS2020 on a PC you're going to need more than $100

formal plover
#

Yeah, I will need to rob nasa of their super computers

muted patio
#

Lol, no, but you'll need something more modern for sure

formal plover
#

I think I'll just get xplane 11 when fs2020 comes out cause it'll probably be like $20

muted patio
#

Here are the X-Plane 11 System Requirements (Minimum)
CPU: Intel Core i3, i5, or i7 CPU with 2 or more cores, or AMD equivalent
CPU SPEED: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7, 8, or 10, 64-bit
VIDEO CARD: DirectX 11-capable video card from NVIDIA, AMD w/512 MB VRAM
PIXEL SHADER: 5.0
VERTEX SHADER: 5.0
SOUND CARD: Default
FREE DISK SPACE: 20 GB
DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 512 MB

#

I'm not sure that Lenovo would work

formal plover
#

Actually, 2 more stick of ram and an i3...

muted patio
#

You're missing the video requirements. Do you have a video card?

formal plover
#

Not sure

#

Never opened the pc

sudden turret
#

๐Ÿ˜

formal plover
#

It's probably covered in dust

#

It has no fans

muted patio
#

From the Windows desktop, click Start > Control Panel.
Click System and Security. If using the control panel in icon view, click Device Manager.
Click Device Manager.

#

The click Display Adapter and tell me what it says

formal plover
#

Ok

#

I'm at systems

#

Ok

#

I see device manager

muted patio
#

CLick the arrow next to Display Adapter

formal plover
#

Ok

#

I see Intel HD graphics

#

Does that mean that's there's a gpu?

muted patio
#

Sort of. It's build into the CPU

#

And not very good

formal plover
#

Oh

#

I'm playing on a giant tv and the graphics don't look bad considering

muted patio
#

what are you playing

formal plover
#

Roblox, minecraft, fsx, yt

#

Adobe ps

#

Adobe ia

#

Ai*

#

You can't really judge with fsx... cause it's fsx

muted patio
#

I was just reading the Xplane forums and that graphics won't work. People report 1-2 FPS in the demo version. Apparently there's a demo version to try but..........yeah. No go.

What's a good PC for VR Gaming

muted patio
#

Or better

mossy citrus
#

Hi

#

Ded chat

cursive wharf
#

@muted patio Only one M2 slot on that board

#

yet two M2 drives

#

Also with a 1k budget cant you afford a 5700XT, $400 GPU? If you need CUDA for whatever you're talking about there is 2060S

pastel sigil
#

I have finished my pc

#

Now I can play minecraft with no lag lol

#

It has an RX5700

#

Not xt

#

It runs very smoothly

upper condor
#

What are your average frams?

pastel sigil
#

I capped it at 70

upper condor
#

1440p?

pastel sigil
#

Because i have 60Hz monitor

#

1080p

upper condor
#

Ohhh ok

#

Gonna say

#

Thats a bad 5700

#

Unless max settings?

pastel sigil
#

I limited fps to 70fps minecraft with max ither settings

cursive wharf
#

This is MC, not a GPU heavy game

#

CPU heavy game

upper condor
#

Oh yeah

pastel sigil
#

Yes i used to have a dell inspiron m5040 lol

upper condor
#

Oh ga

pastel sigil
#

So i got 3fps

#

And now i can play

#

Csgo

upper condor
#

Well i had an intel pentium from 2013

#

But now i be upgrading

pastel sigil
#

Yeah

#

What fps do you get on that?

upper condor
#

Uhh well funny

#

Cant run it

#

Only roblox

pastel sigil
#

yea you should probably consider upgrading...

upper condor
#

Im gonna

#

To a 2k beast

zenith glacier
#

I looked at older comments. That old pc would not last longer in future. New build and better.

formal plover
#

Hey, anyone here?

#

I have a couple questions

upper condor
#

I kniw someone has complaints tell me

vestal cove
#

I would probably switch the ssd to 500gb

#

And wait till some of the stuff goes on sale

#

This one is mine โ˜๏ธ

#

Also the MM300 mousepad is super long

#

I got the MM350 and it is bigger than I expected

upper condor
#

Good case choice

#

Why dont you get the 750w corsair? Its the same price

vestal cove
#

Didnโ€™t realize it went on sale

#

Thanks

upper condor
#

Anytime

vivid coral
#

so i fuound an old windows xp it has 16 gigs of ram on it if i replaced the OP and got a new gpu and cpu wold it run good?

upper condor
#

What gpu and cpu

#

And what type if ram

#

If it aint ddr4, no

vivid coral
#

idk what ram its has i have to ask my dad

#

he put it in 7+ yrs ago

upper condor
#

Pretty much has to be ddr4

#

Oh

vivid coral
#

ok

upper condor
#

Yeah its not ddr4

vestal cove
#

Yah

upper condor
#

Youd need to upgrade the ram

#

And probably the MOBO

vivid coral
#

ooooooo so at that point im bulilding a new pc, no?

upper condor
#

Yeah pretty much

#

So id just build a new budget one

vivid coral
#

ok

sterile wave
#

Yeah most parts from 7+ years ago won't be compatible with much today

#

Harddrives and ssd's at most

ionic lagoon
#

just posted a pic of my build in #build-pics anyone have any suggestions on cable management for the aio

sterile wave
#

Damn

#

Tough life

vestal cove
#

What did you put on your exhaust fans @ionic lagoon

ionic lagoon
#

what do you mean

vestal cove
#

Looks like mini glass panels

ionic lagoon
#

i didnt put anything its just my camera

sterile wave
#

Doesn't look like there's much to do there with those hanging cables

#

Apart from getting shorter cables :/

ionic lagoon
#

ok thx

sterile wave
#

Or maybe nicely wrapping them behind that thing beside the rad

#

But I don't think that'll do much hehe

#

Maybe u could turn the cpu cooler upside down and have the cable be more stretched out xd

ionic lagoon
#

no im not worried about the pipes just the cables going to the sata power and fans behind the back panel

sterile wave
#

Oh

#

I see

ionic lagoon
#

ok

vestal cove
#

What are some good intel motherboards

#

I have an msi z390 a in my cart

dusky lantern
#

Is there any big difference between the three:

  • ZOTAC GAMING GEFORCE GTX1660 SUPER AMP 6GB GDDR6, 192 bit, 1845/14000, HDCP, Three DP, HDMI, Medium pack ZT-T16620D-10M

  • EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6 GB SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card

  • Asus Dual DUAL-GTX1660S-O6G-EVO GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Graphic Card - 6 GB GDDR6 - 1.53 GHz Core - 192 bit Bus Width - DisplayPort - HDMI - DVI

The price is roughly the same aside from a 5~10$ diff

real epoch
#

Not a noticeable difference

vestal cove
#

Not much of a difference

#

I would probably go with the zotac gaming

formal plover
dark thistle
#

@swift helm what are those specs that's pretty lol

formal plover
dark thistle
#

@formal plover that's like BUDGET budget

sacred obsidian
#

also that cpu doesnt work with that mobo

#

wait im wrong

#

i didnt realize they still use a8

#

its not horrible for how budget it is and would be fine for upgrading in the future but if that's the plan you probably should spend a little more on a psu imo. you wont be able to game on that though i don't think

round flare
#

if ur gonna go igpu go 2200g

#

or smth similar

formal plover
#

What psi do you reccomend? And what differences does a more expensive one have?

round flare
#

500w is plenty for most builds tbh

#

650 can handle a 2080s and 3950x

sacred obsidian
#

i usually tell people to get a 750 but i would say minimum 650

round flare
#

For igpu gaming 500 is okay

#

even with a gpu

#

he could toss in a 570 or something similar

#

and it would be smooth

sacred obsidian
#

but what if he wants to upgrade to much better specs later on? i feel like 500 has a lot of limits too when upgrading and IMO its best to be able to upgrade as little as possible at a time to save money

formal plover
#

There are some cheap 650w psus

dark thistle
#

@sacred obsidian which 750 you think?

#

Also most builds will do ok with a GOOD 550w like the Corsair CX

#

But for $3 more you can get the 650w version lol

sacred obsidian
#

iunno any noteworthy brand really. i just avoid sketchy stuff and look for modulars and well known brands lol

#

modular for cable management and well known brands cause ive been burned to many times buying sketchy stuff

#

but it really depends on budget

formal plover
#

So, I'm making another one, and I have a question

#

Does it matter if you have 2 x 4gb sticks of ram or 1 x 8gb, because it would be cheaper to do 1 ร— 8gb

warped moat
#

Yea it does

#

2x4 would be better since it can be used in duel channel
