#

Asking if this build is unbalanced

#

No parts are concrete

#

The cpu and cooler are cpu for debate

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

You could get a 2060 for like 30$ more

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

2080 SUPER and 550W ?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

lol wut

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

That’s kinda strange

#

I would go with high end 650+

latent bronze Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/NzrmP6/rosewill-spectra-c100-atx-mid-tower-case-r0901008-0118 @little osprey this is a very good case and also cost less than the one you picked

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Sorry

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

No need to be sorry lol

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

Meant to do the 750

#

Just to be prepared for the future

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

I would go higher end than Phanteks AMP too

#

But that’s up to your decisions

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Like, corsair rm or

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Also, you should be able to push decent frames at 1440P

#

Like 2080 super is meant for 144hz 1440p

latent bronze Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

EVGA

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

RMx was suppoed to be slightly better I think

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

And for the PSU, https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40/

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

yea

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

@vivid atlas am gonna get 1440p later

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

but RM and RMx are both tier A

#

I think RMx is slightly better one sec

#

yea RMx has slightly better caps

#

Oh and also sabrent rocket q isnt great if you can just spend like 30$ more

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

The max is 2k

#

So a better psu, normal sabrent and 3700x

#

?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

lemme look again

#

Better monitor too

vivid atlas Jan 28, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

3600 usually shouldn’t bottleneck a 2080 super

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

maybe a MAG271cqr or smth

#

tbh I would slap on a better cooler like a nh u12s or smth since you dont need more cores for gaming

#

this is what I would suggest

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZM9tK4

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

is there a reason for the tomahawk?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Not really

#

Cheap?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

idk, but max for 3rd gen bios

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

No

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

tomahawk is a reddit darling. that is about all it is good for.

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Not fir 3rd gen

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

? yes

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

Im not dumb, I check manufacturer pages

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

if you dont plan on trying to oc-ing the pants of the cpu

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Yeah na

#

Im just gaming and streaming every once in a while

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

📎 unknown.png

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

2k max?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Im confused by "not fir 3rd gen"

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

that is on @upper condor to explain :)

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

For

#

2k max

#

Leave like 75 for keyboard and mouse

#

Idc about a good one rn

#

Can do that later

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

@upper condor could you explain what you mean by what you said about 3rd gen? because you seem to have confused @stoic island a fair deal

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:34 PM

#

Sorry, I meant I didnt pick the Max for the 3rd gen compatibility

#

Because other boards have that on the manufacturer's page

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

@stoic island does that make more sense?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Sorry then

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

iirc, you dont want/care for wifi right?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

If it is included, sure but not needed

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

What's wrong with the other case @latent bronze

latent bronze Jan 28, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

The other one seems more on looks than airflow

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:42 PM

#

@upper condor i am searching through the boards now for soundchips

#

bingo

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

It comes with 3 fans

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

.....

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

@upper condor you chose that specific evga for the looks right?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

No

#

Just think evga is good

#

Performance wise and looks

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

ah, reason i ask is that one is the one with the clear shroud

#

which normally carries a premium over the non-clear one

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:48 PM

#

Oh, well yeah Id like that one

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

you cleared that psu with Hei @upper condor ?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

Well, a 2080s with an amp isnt the best

#

Or whatever gpu

#

And its like 10$ for the rm

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7MfmP6/seasonic-prime-ultra-gold-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-650gd2 <- something like that is also an option

#

@upper condor the case you have selected is because of looks?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

Yes, also gn gave it best thermals and overall case of this year

#

(Gamers nexus)

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

the yes was enough :)

#

that shows it is a choice you have made :)

#

and that is fair :)

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

Just giving more reasoning, sorry

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

nothing to be sorry about :)

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hFBhmg <- this is my suggestion

#

yes, it tips over, but i have also been a bit heavy handed

#

all it takes to go back under is remove the noctua and/or mouse/keyboard

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

Mhm

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

and yes, that psu is not cheap, it does come with a 12year warranty thou :)

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

Nice

#

Only 15$ more though

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

and the reason for that mainboard is the 1200 soundchip

#

yes, but it is more, hence why i mention it

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Im sad my friend who knows nothing about pcs approached me and asked me to build a pc with a 3k budget

#

Just the pc also

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

mouse+keyboard is just a suggestion/placeholder

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

Mhm

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

but, i can say that the mouse is a very nice one, it is one of the ones i have in rotation here.

#

the "infinity" scroll is quite addicting

#

with that said. you are more or less sorted

#

oh yes, the cpu ofc was updated to a 8core

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

The "infinity" means that you can make it scroll forever right?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

there is a toggle that removes the "click" you normally have in a scroll wheel

#

@little osprey have you gotten help or have you only gotten random disjointed suggestions ?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

Well someone recommend me that build

#

@foggy hazel

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:22 PM

You wish you had this

What The 4gb of ram lol

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

xD

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

@little osprey you want recommendations on changes or?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Why do you think i need a new one?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Yeah sure

#

Do you game on it ?

#

@upper condor

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

Uh yeah lowest settings 10fps

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

@little osprey you planning to actually OC it?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

Can your mobo support ddr4 ram?

#

Possibly naed

#

But probaly not a huge oc

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

scrap what you have invested into making it ready for that and buy a higher SKU of cpu

#

meaning, scrap the cooler, and scrap the useless board

#

and get the 3600x instead

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

You don't like the tomakawk?

#

Wanna make a list for me

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

it is a waste of money imo

#

i will modify what you have, after you answer this

#

your headphones etc are they usb or minijack?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

My headset is mini jack

#

Single plug for both audio and mic

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

okay, give me 3-4 minutes

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

Alright

floral zephyr Jan 28, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

ok so i have this usb wifi adapter, it works ok, but it doesnt let me connect to 5ghz like it advertised. when i do connect to a 5ghz wifi signal the adapter just stops working and i have to unplug then replug it in. been thinking about going with a pcie wifi card but my gpu covers the slot so i would have to get a pcie riser and mount my wifi card lower.

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

@floral zephyr 2 things, go back to the vendor that sold you that.

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

Have you tried plugging it in directly to the mobo ?

#

If it already is try plugging it in in a different port

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

2nd, what Tyler beat me to asking about :)

#

@little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YRBGn7

#

mind, i kept some of the things that you had, because i HOPE that you have talked with someone about the system you arrived here with?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

Oh okay so basically just the mobo and cpu

#

I heard the x only ads like 5fps at most

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

Why 3600X?

#

Its cheap rn nvm

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

because there was room in the budget

#

i am below what was used before, with no loss

#

and the gain is a faster machine out of the box

#

with a soundchip that is decent

floral zephyr Jan 28, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

it was plugged in yes, ive also tried plugging it into different ports

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

So could you explain why that mobo vs tomahawk?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

soundchip

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

Cc you have duel band WiFi correct?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

the soundcard that is on the board is actually good vs the tomahawk one

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

I'm I gonna need a audio splitter?

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

@foggy hazel you like soundcars

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:34 PM

#

@floral zephyr

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:35 PM

#

@upper condor yes/no. It is something that actually improves the experience for people. Unlike a vrm that wont benefit them

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

Naed is that the gpu you'd use for around 300?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

@little osprey if you are using a headset that is normally used for mobile phones? yes

#

however, a splitter should be a couple of bucks

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

yeah

floral zephyr Jan 28, 2020, 5:36 PM

#

yes i do, sorry i was looking at Powerline Ethernet Adapters

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

@little osprey let me ask in a different venue first: Total budget?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Okay and you installed all the nessisary drivers?

#

Probaly around 900 little over is fine tho

floral zephyr Jan 28, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

yes i did.

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:37 PM

#

Maybe try reinstalling them

#

If that doesn't work I'd return it

#

I could tell you the one I use works great and is around 20$ I think

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

you planning on doing any streaming @little osprey

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Possibly but probaly not though so nah

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

Rtx 2060 is an option

#

Now that prices are down to ~300

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

not for another 25-30usd

floral zephyr Jan 28, 2020, 5:39 PM

#

i think i paid a little more for mine. ill probably end up returning it and going with a powerline adapter

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Theres a GB 2060 at 330$ with a 30$ rebate

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

You could always get WiFi mesh

#

But it's expensive

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

@stoic island rebates are never counted.

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

Alr

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:40 PM

#

because people are lazy gits in that regard

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

The 2060ko was at 320. Still high but meh

#

Possible option still imo

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

aye. i did not say it was not.

#

but things have to move in the current config for that :)

#

@little osprey any special reason for that case?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

No other than it looks pretty good

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

Ahh I assumed there was wiggle room. Carry on :p

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Have you guys heard of star citizen ?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

The game that like keeps delaying release?

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

That's the one

#

Looks sick

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

I'm just concerned

#

Bc so much has been paid for preordering and the game hasn't done too much

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

It's like eve online but better

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

@little osprey i would have to go on a bit of a review reading binge to recommend a different 5600xt. so if we place an asterix at that one for now. Then the rest of the components are fairly solid

Why tho?

@cursive wharf soundchip

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

Alright sweet

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

first board in the 450 line that actually uses the 1200 chip

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

That looks unbalanced...

#

3600+2080ti

little osprey Jan 28, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

Use a bottleneck calc

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

No

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

there are a LOT of things that are bonkers with that one @upper condor , do tell, are you trawling reddit or something?

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

Don't use a bottleneck calculator
Also a 3600 and 2080Ti technically isn't unbalanced

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

depends on what you want to do (<- clarification on what Hei is saying)

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Pure gaming wise it isn't tbh

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

Why not just ripjaw v 3600mhzcl16 kit

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

"bottleneck" and "vrm quality" are words that the standard consumer have no idea about what actually means

#

but that has, sadly, not stopped them from screaming them at the top of their lungs all over the internet

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

^dats me

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

@foggy hazel just looking at builds from other pc discords

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

You might be able to fit a 3600cl16 kit there. That or one of Crucial's kits that OCs well

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

@upper condor posting stuff without context is not really a fair thing to do mate.

#

there are plenty of comments on here that would look hilariously silly if the context was removed.

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

Well true

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

Anyways, back to TUF, that thing will hold back some cheap-ish upgrade to a better Zen2/Zen3 chip later down the line

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

anything specific you are thinking about @cursive wharf ?

#

if oc related, they dont matter in this case.

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

Well, spend what will probably be a small amount on a 3900x or 4900x in like 3 years

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

we have no idea if that will work at this point

#

so when on a budget like that build is. there are other things that come first.

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

Actually unless prices rose you can get a 5700 with a $900 budget, with a SATA SSD and such

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

yes, IF you want a sata ssd

#

IF you are willing to take the things that come with that "tumble"

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

I guess

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Hey so I have a 3600 in my idea for a build, should I upgrade to a 2080s or 3700X?

#

Just gonna be gaming btw

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:20 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9Y7Gn7

#

decent build?

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

I give up

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

What

#

bad psu and overprice ram

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

why are you posting other peoples builds here?

#

because they are not your build

#

nor are they speculative builds on your behalf

#

they are builds that someone else put together, posted somewhere else.

#

and then you copy them here and get them "fixed" [edit: fixes]

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

No

#

this is for a friend

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Decent build?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xwPqHB

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Ur gonna make fun of me arent u

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

Is it a decent build tho?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

its a workable build.

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Depends on when

#

2070s was out.

#

?*

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

It's my actual build

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Oh lol

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

Used to be a 2700-2070

#

Upgraded CPU and ram

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

@upper condor the amount of builds you post here is why i said what i did above

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

Sorry

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

nothing to be sorry about

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:26 PM

#

my friend is very undecisive and doesnt have discord. I have asked him to do it himself but he wont

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:26 PM

but one could wonder if someone isnt being too nice

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

@stoic island

#

hows that case

stoic island Jan 28, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Mine? Works well.

upper condor Jan 28, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

Heard good stuff about it

#

Btw, @foggy hazel I haven't actually gotten all my parts so ever consider I'm asking sbout my own build?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

yes, i did consider that. But i also know that IF you are asking abiout your own build each time, the conversation merely changes to asking you: Why the multiple changes of heart?

clever shadow Jan 28, 2020, 8:28 PM

#

three of the four parts that i am getting i will arrive tomorrow im kinda excited for it but the gpu will be arriving on the 30th

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

anyone help me?

teal bison Jan 28, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Sure what you need?

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/7s92b8 I made this can you help me make the good parts

#

and what needs to change

teal bison Jan 28, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

I dont think anything needs to change but you can save some money

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

mem needs to change.

teal bison Jan 28, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

For example, the storage is pretty expensive

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

true

#

to?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

that is potentially just the start.

@teal bison you want to follow this to the door or?

teal bison Jan 28, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

I'm not good at this

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

@sharp perch a bunch of questions: Budget? Usecase? visuals over performance? Formfactor? Peripherals are locked in or?

#

those are the starting questions

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

usecase?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

gaming? workstation? etc

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

ehm I guess 2500?

#

gaming editing and maybe music

#

ehm

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:04 PM

editing as in, video or sound ? or a mix?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:04 PM

watch your words mate

#

:)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

is that bad

#

why is comp ba

#

d

#

so good for tournaments to game on

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

it was not comp that was bad, its the 4 letter S word you keep saying :)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

editing as in videos

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

kk

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

oh really

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

the rest of the answers please :)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

competetive

#

yes let me check

#

good sir

#

sound aswell gaming and workstation the peripherals il get myself performance good and can doesnt have to be overclocked formfactor what is that?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

formfactor: think overall size of things

#

i ask because you posted a m-atx build

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

well the case doesnt have to be big just normal like a nzxt 700 or something that big or like the case I did the corsair 280x

#

thatarea

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

so, mid-tower-ish

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

yeah sure

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

okay.

#

next series of questions

#

do you need wifi?

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

duh how am I gonna play games; )

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

by being wired.

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

no wireless

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

okay

#

the water cooling you have in the build. Any specific reason for that?

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

question 1000

#

well I didnt know for sure if I needed it I just wanted it to not blow up and keep low celcius

#

so I could take it higher

#

to high resolution

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

the money you are paying for the water cooling could give you a much better better cpu

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

and to make it cool;)

#

true

#

but the other cooler where I can find it

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

so, water was selected because... no real reason. so not that important?

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

no

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

k

#

give me ... 5-10 minutes and i will have a build for you

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

okay thx

#

I could always change it when I have money again

#

the cooler for the cpy

#

cpu

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

the stock cooler is not bad

#

but we will talk in a bit about it all :)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

okay

#

but like an air cooler takes a lot of space and looks weird

#

ya know

teal bison Jan 28, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

So the water cooler was for aesthetics

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

what you are saying @sharp perch is visual over performance.

#

not the other way around.

tranquil dust Jan 28, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

yikes

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

okay

#

do you have the things;)

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

battling with availability in your region

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

okay

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

pcpartpicker does not have that many dutch e-shops

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/39WJmg <- this is a start.

#

mind, it is not final

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

take your time

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

i need to find replacements for the drives. because those are more expensive than they should be (for the performance they offer)

#

but the core of it is this:

#

8 core cpu vs 6

#

32gigs of ram vs 16

#

air cooler vs water

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

so nearly done

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

a very good psu with a 12 year warranty vs the corsair overpriced one

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

I see some changes

#

lol

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

those are the changes so far.

#

give me a sec so pick the brains of someone else for a bit

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

okay

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

@sharp perch still around?

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

yes sir

#

watching youtube

#

so you got the stuff

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

aye, i believe so

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/rzfxb8

#

it comes with a couple of notices thou

#

(for the lurkers, availability in that region is .. silly ...)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

il check it

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:53 PM

#

the m.2 stays the same, because there is so little difference price-wise

#

the 2.5inch ssd gets changed to the non-pro version, because those 100+ euro can be used somewhere more resonable

#

while you look, i will go and see if i can find a noctua retailer in holland

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

this is everything I need right?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:55 PM

#

aye

#

it is

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

okay

#

what fps will I get

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:56 PM

#

there are some of the peripherals i would like to talk with you about, just a casual curious conversation, but that is not important.

#

you will get X depending on Y game.

#

you mentioned competitive, but you never mentioned the game

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:58 PM

#

oh well fn,gta,apex maybe, tomb raider and other games overwatch

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

it should do wonders

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

over 200?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 9:59 PM

#

basically, just look at what a 2070super can do

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

yeah

#

so would you like to talk about the key board and mouse

#

?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/RLcgQq <- this is the updated list

#

found a retailer for preferred air cooler

#

it costs 70euro at their shop

#

actually

#

let me suggest this instead

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/KsKsn7

#

i am aware that pushes the budget

#

it is over by 37euro

#

but, considering the topic we are going to be talking about, there is a chance that the budget will be fine after we talk mouse, keyboard and headset

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

Il buy the pheriferals some other time

#

than

#

I already got mouse and key but didnt like them

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

fair :)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

so I will change them wich gives you extra euros:)

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:05 PM

#

no need for that

#

the system is not going to get "faster"

#

by that

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

okay

#

let me take them out and see how mutch it us

#

is

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:06 PM

#

keyboard + mouse was 300 euro

#

the linked build is in the category that a lot of people would call silly fast

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:07 PM

#

that ends up at 2k

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

2.2

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

I had a headset aswell

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:08 PM

#

aye, but no price on that is available for me to see at least

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

yeah for me its 1958 euros

#

or which website is the best to get everything

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:09 PM

#

just to make certain, drop the link again?

#

because it changes when you change something :)

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

okay

#

should I save first:)

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

the link in the upper left changes while you do things, saving should not be needed

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:11 PM

#

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

That's a lot of Samsung storage

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

3tb

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

as a note here, Samsung is usually overpriced

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

true

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

I find most of the time you get 2x the storage for the same price

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

ah, the price is because of the noctua cooler price not being saved. and the one you linked is the one with the 2070s, last i linked has a 2080s

#

@cursive wharf not in holland

#

that is the region stuff i mentioned in #storage-devices

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

wait you put a 2080s

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

yes

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

the same brand

cursive wharf Jan 28, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

That SATA SSD is price comparative to others

#

NVMe: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/zR3H99/adata-sx8200-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-asx8200pnp-1tt-c
SATA: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/product/nF8j4D/crucial-mx500-2tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct2000mx500ssd1

#

NVMe is decently priced comparitive

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

i could be changed, but the samsung is a bit better, so a bit of leeway can be granted for that

#

hence why i stuck with the samsungs

#

@sharp perch https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/qfhvq3

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

naed wich 2080s

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:16 PM

#

that is the latest list

#

which has the headset, mouse, keyboard removed

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:17 PM

#

0oay

#

okay

#

good

#

cant i get them all from 1 website is better right

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:18 PM

#

getting from 1 site can be more convenient.

#

but it is not inherently better

#

2sec, let me modify things a bit

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:19 PM

#

what?

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/TCFmFG <- try this list

#

it should give you a list that only shows azerty parts

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

it also says paradigit

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

hm.

#

on my end, when it only shows azerty, the total (without a case) is: €2064.60

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

nice

#

megekko

#

aswell

#

cd rom land

foggy hazel Jan 28, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

aye, for some reason it doesnt save the shop preference that i have here.

#

also, i have no idea why azerty doesnt list that case on pcpartpicker.

#

it is on their page

#

for cheaper

sharp perch Jan 28, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

@earnest echo here is my suggestion for changes on the ssd, ram, gpu

#

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/mg6yq3

#

same or faster at lower cost.

earnest echo Jan 29, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

That looks way better

#

And there would be a bigger difference?

foggy hazel Jan 29, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

tiny differences in speed here and there (in a positive way)

#

so it is basically a win/win situation for you @earnest echo

#

the biggest difference is the ssd.

earnest echo Jan 29, 2020, 6:27 PM

Thanks a lot

Cheaper and better is always a pro

whichever one you buy @unreal hazel

but keep in mind, you are being very specific on the amd side, but VERY generic on the intel side

upper condor Jan 29, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

@cursive wharf what would you change about this build?(one im planning on making) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mwnwk6

cursive wharf Jan 29, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

could add in a Gammaxx 400 CPU cooler so that you dont have to deal with a noisy CPU cooler (stock is okay, but fairly loud comparative to even cheap CPU coolers)

#

monitor, keyboard, and mouse I dont know much of so I cant exactly say they are the best options with confidence. Tho 502 Hero and Ducky I have heard are good

upper condor Jan 29, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

Mhm

#

Does the gammaxx allow slight oc'ing then?

cursive wharf Jan 29, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

It should

#

Tho generally slight OCing is kinda eh on Zen2

#

could just turn on PBO or smth

upper condor Jan 29, 2020, 9:32 PM

like shutdown? in few sec?

aw

then something is shorted

marsh adder Jan 29, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

In less than a second.

subtle halo Jan 29, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

it could be your gpu

#

or your motherboard is touching the back case because you dint put stand off..

#

my 570 is shorted before.. and same happen 1-2 sec pc died

marsh adder Jan 29, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

Do all the standoffs have to be in?

#

Most are screwed in but some aren't.

Just by looking at the sides for the socket itself it looks like there is a lot more wiggle room for the CPU then I'd expect

But not like I actually know much

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 1:39 AM

She's reseating it bc the EZ debug CPU LED was on.

take out the CPU and look at the pins

see if they are damaged

Yeah all the pins look fine.

Are there enough stand offs to keep the board from touching the case

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 1:47 AM

@unreal hazel that comparison is akin to asking if a dingy fishing boat and a deep ocean trawler can both be used to catch fish.

#

those 2 move in very different waters

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 1:50 AM

#

The mobo def doesn't touch the case but there are some missing standoffs.

heady spear Jan 30, 2020, 1:57 AM

#

do you possibly have another cpu you could use? or maybe another mobo? to try and isolate the issue? @marsh adder

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 1:59 AM

#

Take everything unnecessary to get past that point. Remove the GPU, a RAM stick, drives, fans, etc

#

anything that could be faulty and shorting the system

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 2:00 AM

#

hm I don't have any spare parts

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 2:02 AM

#

@marsh adder wait what chipset is the mobo?

#

only certain mobos support 9th gen right off the bat

#

most need a BIOS update

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

ooo I'll check

#

How do you update the BIOS without a CPU..?

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

very little Intel mobos support that

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 2:04 AM

#

Intel B360 Chipset

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 2:06 AM

#

unfortunate. Could need a BIOS update (some b360 may be updated already but not required)

#

also

#

9600K + b360 is a bad idea

#

cuz you cant OC, which is the main point of the K series

heady spear Jan 30, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

agreed

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Thus money is wasted

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

Would she be better off with a new mobo, or buying a temp CPU to BIOS update and then return it?

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

@cursive wharf there are other differences too

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

I dont think the $80+ spent on what I think is 200mhz is worth it

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

base frequency 3.1 vs 3.7

#

intel tdp 65 vs 95

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

Wait so should we return this mobo and buy a better one instead?

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

if you put any weight on that is a different thing. But those are the differences.

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

@unreal hazel if this is not a joke question. Then the intel one.

heady spear Jan 30, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

lmao

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

very much overkill, but it is better for that.

#

@heady spear in case you are not aware, it is 3200g vs 9600k

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

@foggy hazel im new in building pc's and i really cant understand well of differences so im sorry

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

nothing to be sorry about, but how on earth did you end up comparing those two?

#

they are leagues apart

heady spear Jan 30, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

hey man we all ask dumb questions sometimes

#

its how we learn 🙂

stoic island Jan 30, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

its like a 100$ cpu compared to a 200$ cpu

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

considering that i always tell people that there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

#

i am fully aware of that @heady spear and i have to live up to the silly answer part sometimes

i gotchu i gotchu

if it makes you happy to think that, carry on :)

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

@foggy hazel my sister is using my laptop because she is working as an online teacher, their minimum spec needed is i5. I was trying to figure out if what is at the same level as i5 in AMD Processor

#

@foggy hazel cause im looking online for a unit she can buy so i can get my laptop back.

heady spear Jan 30, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

id say a 2600

#

for a simple answer lol

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

@unreal hazel there is a very good chance that anything will work. IF it only says: i5 as the requirement. Then it is as generic as it comes in regards to requirements

#

@unreal hazel IF you want to make her happy, make certain that the laptop you get for her has a ssd. that will make her life a lot easier than a lot of other things.

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

@foggy hazel I was planning to get a desktop. What can you suggest, should i go for AMD or just look for i5 unit?

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:43 AM

#

the amd route is cheaper for the same performance. so it is your choice.

#

but i cannot help you anymore tonight, it is close to 4 in the morning here :) i might keep odd hours, but i do need sleep at times :)

#

hopefully one of the others can step up. Perhaps @sacred obsidian feels up for it?

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:45 AM

@unreal hazel you still need help?

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

Sir @sacred obsidian im just asking people here what can be an alternate processor for Intel i5 in AMD.

stoic island Jan 30, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

(i5 was the only listed requirement, no specific cpu)

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

i5 what?

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

well i5 is such a broad term. i5 has been a thing for a long time so it can range from a really weak cpu to a really strong one

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 3:11 AM

#

4500, 9400, 9600k...

#

some old i5 mobile CPU

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 3:11 AM

i5 mobile can range from 2c/4t to 4c/8t

@sacred obsidian she works as an online techer. Thats just what the minimum specs said " atleast i5"

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:19 AM

What does the software do?

#

Is it like a basic video conference program?

#

Does it deal with assignment submission and grading?

#

I'm gonna be real, i5 is a meaningless term, and doesn't help us at all

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:20 AM

Hold on I have to leave the house I’ll be back in a few

unreal hazel Jan 30, 2020, 3:22 AM

@viral ore yea your right. Wait let me ask first

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

im back

#

honestly for what you're likely to use it for you can build a decent pc pretty cheap. it wouldnt be able to game but its more than doable

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

afaik this is suppose to be a laptop

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

no he said build a desktop

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:40 AM

Would a laptop be better suited tho?

I have the rx480 gpu in there now but newegg said my gtx1660 super should arrive tomorrow

it depends on budget vs needs

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Yeah, just not sure if traveling would be an issue

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

you can probably make a better 200$ pc than a 200$ laptop spec wise

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Or if it would be necessary

#

Yeah def

#

Did he give a budget?

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

if travel is a need then wed have to go laptop

#

but no

#

not yet at least

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

Yeah ig

#

I would think like the 3000g would be good enough to run basic software

sacred obsidian Jan 30, 2020, 3:43 AM

#

well yeah

#

naed suggested 3400g

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

That's 4c/8t

#

Right?

#

Yeah, that would be fine too, ig just depends on budget

I'm looking at the mobo we have that supposedly doesn't support the i5-9600k, but it lists 9th gen Intel processors as supported: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CBKQ75V

#

(context in previous conversation)

viral ore Jan 30, 2020, 4:25 AM

#

Then it supports the 9600k

#

Just looked at msi's website, it supports 9th gen

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 4:29 AM

#

It supports it, the question is supporting it out of the box

#

like AMD b350 supporting R5 3600

#

afaik no b350 supports said CPU out of the box

marsh adder Jan 30, 2020, 4:30 AM

#

So it does need a BIOS update.

#

?

cursive wharf Jan 30, 2020, 4:33 AM

What’s the best pre built company?

#

I was looking at cyber power and it seems pretty good was wanting to see if anyone else had an opinion

polar holly Jan 30, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

I always recommend building your own

regal forge Jan 30, 2020, 6:26 AM

#

Yeah I know

#

I’ve heard it so much lol

#

I understand pre building is cheaper and better and what not I just don’t have any expirene and want to go the pre built way

eager chasm Jan 30, 2020, 6:30 AM

#

Prebuilt is the opposite of building it yourself

#

Dumb

#

But if you are gonna you will wanna do it before the problems in China jack up prices cause of all the factory down time can cause a supply problem

#

Or wait until after the market stabelizes

regal forge Jan 30, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

I’m confused on what you mean by China jacking up the prices? @eager chasm can you explain lol

Does it matter if the hose for my AIO is at the front of the PC or the rear

#

On a top mounted aio

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

no

eager chasm Jan 30, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

It depends which part you want to have the better cooling, CPU or GPU. If you mount in front the CPU gets fresh air but the GPU is then fed the already warm air. If you mount on top the GPU gets fresh air and the CPU RAD gets fed warm air unless you use a blower style card. But really it doesn't matter that much it's only like a few degrees difference on either part in either config.

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

@eager chasm i think you might have misread. he seems to be talking about having the hose in/out at either the front or the back. on a top mounted AIO

regal forge Jan 30, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

Is cyber power pc a good pre built company?

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 3:08 PM

#

its a company that does pre-builts

#

the quality you get (in general) depends on what you pay for. (in the context of pc-building companies)

regal forge Jan 30, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

So you are saying that what I pick will determine the quality

foggy hazel Jan 30, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

the budget build will very rarely get the same attention as the top of the line one. [Edit: build]

regal forge Jan 30, 2020, 3:12 PM

I’m planning on spending like 1800$

I have the parts picked from there pc builder thing
