1080p resolution

#

any of those is fine

teal bison Mar 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

and i assume you already have more storage/are going to buy more later

vagrant gulch Mar 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

Yes. At the moment I'm planning to buy 256 gb ssd, but later will try to upgrade it to 500 to 1 tb.

teal bison Mar 20, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

ok

#

i would go with something like this, its $25 more than your original build but has a 1660 super instead of a 570 which is much better

vagrant gulch Mar 20, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

Alright cool, thank you so much. I think I might have a few more questions. So when I was chatting with a friend about it, he was telling me something about the bronze for the PSU not being the best or something along the lines of that

#

Is this alright and once I get more money could I replace it and the 1660 with the same chassis?

teal bison Mar 20, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

the efficiency rating doesnt matter a whole lot, what actually matters is the quality of the psu, and yes that case should support many upgrades

vagrant gulch Mar 20, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

Ah ok that's great to hear. My last question right now is just about supplies. I know I have to get thermal paste and already plan to order some soon. My friend said I just also need a magnetic screw driver and that's all I had to get and I was done.

#

Any recommended brands for magnetic screw drivers?

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

magnetic screw driver isnt neccesary but will make your job so much easier. if you are willing to spend the money, the iFixIt kit is the best little tool kit i've ever boughten

#

this is the one i have. great for just about any electronic device lol https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-307?o=4

Pro Tech Toolkit - iFixit

The Pro Tech Toolkit, the industry standard for electronics and computer technicians, has all the tools to repair smartphones, tablets, laptops, PCs, and video game consoles. Part #: IF145-307-4

#

and it comes with a grounding bracelet so you dont accidentally short out your build. if you dont use that make sure you destatic by touching bare metal before handling your parts

vagrant gulch Mar 20, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Oh ok I'll look into this and I keep hearing about that and was confused about it

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

its just a good quality kit for building pcs, fixing phones, laptops, etc etc. its a little pricey but i think it's worth it and it's come in handy quite a bit for me but i also like to tinker with stuff haha

vagrant gulch Mar 20, 2020, 1:06 AM

#

I see lol. Tinkering with stuff seems fun tbh. I don't think I would do it though since I'm afraid to. I think I have a toolkit, I'll have to check since it's been a year, but if not I'll try to see if I can pick this up, thanks.

Looking at 2 sets of grill trident memory
1st set 16 19 19 39
2nd set 14 14 14 34
There's about 100 dollars difference in the price, is it a noticeable difference and is it worth the extra money
Both sets are 2 x16gb

warped moat Mar 20, 2020, 7:13 AM

#

Not enough to warrent an extra 100

cursive wharf Mar 20, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

Well if you look around you can find better prices too

icy plume Mar 20, 2020, 12:40 PM

#

@subtle halo would that be your build?

jade grove Mar 20, 2020, 1:55 PM

#

guys, im at a crossroads. im building a system for my gf, and want it to be ryzen based seeing as it seems to be the best value. But i cant decide if i should go with a R5 1600 (AF skew, on 12 nm process, basically a 2600) or should i jump to the R5 2600 instead? its about a $35 difference with the 1600 AF being cheaper

wary geode Mar 20, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Should I get Corsair vengeance pro or g skill trident z

#

For rgb reasons

errant berry Mar 20, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Whichever is cheaper @wary geode

#

As long as the mhz speed isnt bad, id go with the cheaper

wary geode Mar 20, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

Corsair it is then thanks

#

Yeah it’s 90 for the Corsair vengeance pro white

#

And 100 for the g skill

#

Thanks

sullen spoke Mar 20, 2020, 2:37 PM

wide sparrow Mar 20, 2020, 4:38 PM

#

P400a

long fractal Mar 20, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

@jade grove go for the 1600 AF, newer technology and basically same performance even a little faster and cheaper. Win win win there

upper condor Mar 20, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

@long fractal its not a little faster, but significantly better value

#

Out of stock sometimes

deep skiff Mar 20, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

yea its in stock and not inflated rn https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07XTQZJ28

#

the only reason to get the 2600 over it is for slightly better clock speeds

teal bison Mar 20, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

I'd rather spend the money saved on a gammax and overclock the af than get a 2600

long fractal Mar 20, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

@upper condor yea icic, more power efficient tho with the 12nm vs 14nm or something?

warped moat Mar 20, 2020, 8:30 PM

#

They both use 12nm

#

1st gen used 14nm

#

2nd used 12nm

looking for 450w power supply upgrade for a dell model l280p-01

#

its hard to find the right dimension

#

trying to build a sleeper lol

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

@wheat epoch that model number is the PSU itself

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 8:48 PM

#

yup

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

and i am guessing that you are looking for a replacement right? (which is not a DELL unit)

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

yes

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

then the actual machine model could help

#

because that PSU is used in some models where a normal atx actually fits

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

bigger 450w with right demension

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

l280p-01 <- that shape is very much a custom dell unit

#

meaning, you can either buy any of the replacement units that are available or you can buy one of the original units that are available.

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

na won't work

#

its like 4 7/8 wide

#

4 inch high

#

5" 3/8 long

#

can't put any one in there its tight

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

please read what i said again.

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:02 PM

#

you have a part number

#

or a link

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

okay, lets try one more time:

#

What is the model of the CASE that you are trying to find a psu for

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

DCNE

icy plume Mar 20, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

@willow mulch we stan integrated

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

@wheat epoch that is a Optiplex

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

think so can't tell

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

and depending on how much of the inside you can free up, a regular ATX psu might actually fit

#

however, a SFX will fit

#

but it will require a bracket

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

ok sfx

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

the main problem is the way that the inside of the case is

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

ya pretty much lol

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

you got the ability to take a photo of it?

#

since you have the case there right?

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

yup

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@sudden turret can you grant picture posting rights to @wheat epoch ?

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

no

#

i need permission

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:15 PM

yes, which is what i have asked one of the mods to fix for you :)

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:15 PM

#

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:17 PM

@subtle halo can you grant picture posting rights to @wheat epoch ?

@wheat epoch could you post a picture of the top of the inside of the case?

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:28 PM

#

thank you

#

based on the last pic, SFX seems the simplest solution

#

because that gives you the most amount of space to work with on the inside

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

ok thanks

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

your main challenge is going to be the GPU placement [edit: your]

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

well changing the board

#

putting a asus micro ATX

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

m-atx seems too big?

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:41 PM

no its not bad just some costumization

#

expansion slots being blocked by that board

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 9:57 PM

#

yup lol

#

just guet a adapter

#

for it

#

extension adapter

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 10:00 PM

#

you still need a space for the IO on the board

#

and you need the physical "room" for the card itself

#

which will probably mean, m.2 or 2.5 ssd

#

m.2 being preferred

#

so that you can potentially use the space where the 3.5 hdd is now

#

maybe @celest horizon or @austere condor has something to add, both having some experience with quirky builds

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

ya it's not the actual board im going to put in there

#

just to see if the micro atx would fit

#

i will use that 3.5 hdd for now

#

and that ome io im going to cut it and make the other one fit

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

the current IO in the case is not what i am worried about

#

that is trivial to cut and get working

#

its the actual space for things that are going to be interesting

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 10:21 PM

#

ya

#

ill make it work lol

#

me it's the fans that is going to be a challenge

celest horizon Mar 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

What size fans will fit?

austere condor Mar 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

probably get some 80mm fans in

#

@wheat epoch https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Supply-Bronze-TX300/dp/B06XS9YLTL

#

could be an options

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 10:36 PM

So my friend needed help because 8gb of his 16 wasn't being recognized and we figured out that not only were the ram in the wrong dimm slots, 1 of the sticks also wasn't plugged in. After plugging in both sticks and moving them to the correct dimm slots his computer won't post now

#

the lights turn on and the fans spin but the display keyboard and mouse don't turn on

#

any ideas?

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

pull the ram, try it stick by stick @buoyant flame

#

and slot by slot

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

we did

deep skiff Mar 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

so it doesn't post at all?

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 10:41 PM

correct

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

just remove all of it and keep one and it will post and try again putting it back in

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 10:42 PM

we tried using only one stick and same result

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 10:42 PM

that is for you to figure out, but it is there @buoyant flame

#

@wheat epoch different boards

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 11:33 PM

yup seen that

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

what is he looking for?

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

@buoyant flame its a 2 pin, its close to another 2 pin

willow mulch Mar 20, 2020, 11:33 PM

@wide sparrow the fans are gamdias aeolus m1-120s

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

i thought that wasn't his board

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

@sacred obsidian dont tell him. But he is looking for the clrmos (clear cmos) pins

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:34 PM

#

im so lost lol

wheat epoch Mar 20, 2020, 11:34 PM

📎 Capture.PNG

#

is it this one

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

does it say CLRMOS1 underneath? (yes i know it does)

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:35 PM

#

its too blury for me

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:36 PM

#

then open the original

#

because that is actually a really good picture

in a fairly bonkers resolution

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:36 PM

thats better

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

that is the picture YOU sent @buoyant flame

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:37 PM

#

wow yah lol im stupid i didnt open the original i was looking at it in discord

#

ok so touch those pins with a flathead then?

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

yes

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:38 PM

#

and then what

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

did he pull the power from the board before he did that?

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:40 PM

#

he hasn't done it yet hold on

#

he did it and nothing happened

#

he drained the power and then touched them and nothing happened @foggy hazel

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

that is what is "supposed" to happen @buoyant flame

#

exactly nothing

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

ok so now what

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

power back in

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:45 PM

#

ok

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

now please tell me where he has the monitor connected?

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:46 PM

#

ill check one second

@willow mulch thanks

i have another question tho

willow mulch Mar 20, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

Speke

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

how long did he wait before saying it doesnt turn on

#

cause when adding ram it can not do anything for a lil bit

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:47 PM

#

the pc turns on and the fans spin but the monitor keyboard and mouse do not

#

we waited like a few minutes

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

wait like at least 10

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

with the computer on?

#

ya thats a dumb question dont answer that

sacred obsidian Mar 20, 2020, 11:48 PM

#

lmao

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

there are no stupid questions, only silly answers @buoyant flame

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:49 PM

#

ok we're going to wait and see what happens

#

at the moment its still the same thing

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

a bit of focus on the questions you get asked @buoyant flame :)

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:50 PM

#

wdym?

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

"ill check one second" <- the answer?

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

oh my bad let me ask him im sry

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:51 PM

#

nothing to be sorry about.

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:53 PM

#

his graphics card

#

@foggy hazel

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

and you are certain of that right?

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

he just checked

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

as in, you have actually seen the cable

#

not what i am asking

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

no i did not personally see it

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:55 PM

#

i have no way of knowing if he knows where his GPU actually is

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

ya this is frustrating because he's talking to someone else and im talking to you and him and the stupid video call keeps breaking up. Ik that he knows where his gpu is tho

foggy hazel Mar 20, 2020, 11:56 PM

#

well, here is a bit of advice for you @buoyant flame

#

if someone cannot give you their full attention while they are asking you for help? tell them to go jump on a lamppost

#

because obviously it is not "that" important for him to fix it

buoyant flame Mar 20, 2020, 11:59 PM

#

lol ya well he was giving me his full attention before so we're like kinda stuck now but ill have to wait

#

thx for your help. I rly just want to go over there and get the stupid thing fixed 😭

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

you know that i dont mind helping, not one bit.

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:00 AM

#

yep ik

#

doesn't mean that im not going to thank you tho 😉

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

im wondering if he just didnt seat the ram properly

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

However, you have to keep in mind. People read/hear what they "think" you are saying.

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

cause you gotta push a lot harder than most people are comfortable doing if they dont do it often

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:01 AM

#

hence why i asked about the GPU

#

there are a bunch of questions that could be asked @sacred obsidian

#

but until mr Busy gets his head in the game, nothing we can do

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

tru

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:02 AM

#

Ya theres definately a chance he didn't seat it properly because he'

#

he's never done it before but i was trying to watch him and the slots did click in so idk

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

@buoyant flame go over the start of this with us

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:04 AM

#

ok sure thing

#

so basically heres the story. He asked me if he should buy more ram since he only had 8gb. I knew he couldn't possibly have 8gb in a prebuilt with an i7 8700 and a gtx 1080. I asked him to show me his ram slots. Everything looked fine so i told him to unplug them and plug them back in. He saw that one of the sticks was not put in properly and we took them out and put them back in. Ever since they were put back in the system has not booted.

#

thats basically it

#

let me know if i need to elaborate in any areas

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

that is fine.

#

so. question time:

upper condor Mar 21, 2020, 12:07 AM

#

Have you tried a single ram stick in?

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

yes

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

how long has he had the machine?

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

few years

#

2 or 3 maybe

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

ok

#

does he by chance know which of his two sticks was the one that WAS plugged in?

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:08 AM

#

at this point no

#

unfortunately

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

okay

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

woah he just texted me he got in the bios somehow

#

lemme call him and find out whats happening rn hold on

wheat epoch Mar 21, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

nice yes

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

you know...... sometimes you gotta be patient and forgiving

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

what was it

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

HE DIDN'T PUSH THE RAM IN ALL THE WAY

#

ok had to get that out

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

called it

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

dufhaiuwebvpoiuawberpougjbapwowjerbgpoiwaubpseoruigjb

#

ok im done

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

lol

#

like i said

wheat epoch Mar 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

thought so

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

i wasted so much time with something i literally could of done in 30 seconds

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

people who dont do this normally are usually afraid to push it as hard as you need to

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

that was exactly the case

wheat epoch Mar 21, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

good good

#

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

hold on he said his screen and everything turned off again now

#

this is never gonna end

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

at this point

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

@buoyant flame i would like to remind you of what i said earlier: "However, you have to keep in mind. People read/hear what they "think" you are saying."

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

tell him to join the discord

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

yep thats for sure @foggy hazel

#

why

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

i mean like if you have to keep relaying stuff, it will be easier to be able to go directly to him. faster response and all

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

ya but i don't think he will but ill ask in a minute

sacred obsidian Mar 21, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

but also at this point id typically like to have eyes on the pc

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

and i would like to point to what i said about a lamppost @buoyant flame

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

yep i remember 😂

#

he said no btw

#

ok im done with the problem

#

i think he has it now

#

thx again for all the feedback guys

#

rly appreciate it

wheat epoch Mar 21, 2020, 12:20 AM

#

👍🏻

buoyant flame Mar 21, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

i literally just wasted 2 hours of my life because he didn't put the ram in correctly... but whateever

#

you guys made it more bearable 😉

foggy hazel Mar 21, 2020, 12:21 AM

#

you are very welcome @buoyant flame

mid range and don't need wifi

teal bison Mar 21, 2020, 9:29 PM

mid range, so like $100? they start at about $70 and go up to 150

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:31 AM

#

Seems pretty good but $90 for 550W idk? @foggy hazel

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

Voltage ripple/regulation, transient response, protections, cap quality, fan noise, lack of coil whine, fan quality, fully modular, etc are all the reasons as to why the PSU above was chosen @timber trench

#

As of right now there aren't any PSUs that beat it in quality at that price except for some Bitfenix PSUs that are usually out of stock

hum quick question

galax 1080ti hof edition says it requires 3x 8pin connectors.is the 3rd just for the added rgb plate or this beast kills electricity like i kill tacos?

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Isn't that a card more made to be ready for LN2 OC and stuff? So as such kinda needs to have the stupid amounts of pin usage

formal coyote Mar 22, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

idk i was about to buy one because they are looking really nice and all with the all white build and the lcd screen, but hell they have a 3 x 8pin connector, cant imagine a card that needs such power..

deep skiff Mar 22, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

@formal coyote how much are you paying, those are kind of like kingpin cards but less extreme. if its more than $425 id pass

#

and it draws around 300w, dont think you need the third 8 pin unless xoc/extreme overclocking

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

@cursive wharf is it worth the same price of a Semi-Modular 750W PSU tho?

#

I trying to post a picture of the two PSU’s but I can’t send pics here I guess

#

anyways the other psu is the Corsair CX-M PSU

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

@timber trench apart from 3.3v rail transient response that PSU is worse in every other regard

formal coyote Mar 22, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

@deep skiff 500 (canadian tho so like 380-400 US maybe )

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

I see

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Main things to consider is noise and modularity. The CXM has coil whine issues, a louder fan, and is only semi modular instead of fully modular

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 4:55 PM

#

Ah Alright APM is it then, thanks for the help

#

And 550W should be able to handle upgrade in the futures right? Like a 2070 and R7 3800X?

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 4:56 PM

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/MoonlightGZ/saved/3zWn7P Budget Build Thoughts?

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

@formal coyote For the most part that GPU will peak at about 300w - 350w I'd assume. It'll go more if OCed. Just because it has 3x8pin doesnt mean it'll use it

#

@timber trench RAM is overpriced, SSD is overpriced, GPU is overpriced, case is overpriced, and fans are overpriced. Lots of money wasted

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 6:49 PM

#

SSD has very fast read and write speed for half the price of an EVO+

#

RAM has RGB, 3200MHz, 2x8GB

#

GPU has RGB and is known as a good budget GPU

#

Case has good airflow and 3 included 120mm fans

#

Fans match the case, have controllable RGB, and includes an internal fan controller

#

Those are the reasons why I thought they are worth the money but you want to give suggestions feel free to do so

deep skiff Mar 22, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

:v every time you say rgb you pay more for it

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

Rgb costs more

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

Those fans are expensive. There's decent rgb fans are Amazon that perform well. You pay for brand name with corsair

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

Corsair has really good software to control and sync other RGB products I own that’s why I went with Corsair

If you find better and cheaper fans please feel free to send them over

@timber trench if corsair is the only software you use for rgb then your outta luck for non corsair fans (corsair doesn't have great support for anything but their own) if you have another software then I would recommend these

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

I don’t mind using other softwares

#

And I would go for that option but I don’t like a physical remote to control the rgb, software is way more convenient to me

#

Oh btw

#

For the 1660 Super

#

I didn’t notice the price when @cursive wharf mentioned it

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Ya lol thats a bad price

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

But the price is usually $250 not $280 lol

#

I wouldn’t pay $280 for a 1660 Super

#

I’d get a TI at that point

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Are you planning on vertically mounting your gpu?

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

Or even a 2060

#

Nah

#

Maybe in the future but not on first build

#

I’ll keep it horizontally for a while at first then I might make it vertical

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

Ok so just FYI, fgb on a gpu that isn't vertically mounted is not worth it imo. I'd rather get a 2060 like u said 👍

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

Ah

#

I see your point

#

Is there a 2060 you recommend for a good price with rgb only on the sides? (Rgb optional)

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

I mean like u can see it when you look from under it but otherwise its definitely not a major reason to get it

#

I can look real quick

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

True

#

Alright thx

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Max budget?

#

For gpu only

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

$350 I would say if it has rgb

#

Cheaper would be better tho

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

K

#

Kinda hard to find at that price point since everything is a 2060 super now for like 400 but there is this one

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

Yep

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

Not bad with a rebate

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

However at that point its probably better to save a little and get a 2060s fe

#

Ik its a lot more tho

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

Yeah but I need to get parts fast since COVID-19 is a big thing and limiting shipments

There's always used tho

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:40 PM

Nah lol

I don’t trust used

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:40 PM

Yeah lol

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

I'm gonna look a little more tho

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

A non rgb 2060 is not bad either tho

#

Around 330

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

Ok

#

2060 is kinda hard to find new because its been replaced by the 2060s now 😕

Too expensive tho

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

Non rgb

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Not bad

#

320 is a good price

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Decent card

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

So now I’m between 1660 Super $250 and a 2060 $320

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Pretty much

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

If the 1660S price goes down

#

Cause Ik $280 is not worth it

#

I’ll get it

#

But if it stays $280

#

I’ll get the 2060

buoyant flame Mar 22, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

Ok but you can get a non rgb 1660s for like 220 ish

230 my bad

do you need/want wifi?

#

@timber trench thx I’ll look at it and save it in my notes

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:07 PM

WiFi in a mobo is way faster than buying an average WiFi card

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

@timber trench wrong.

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:07 PM

#

I’m not wrong I’ve tested it before

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:07 PM

WiFi Carr ?

#

*card

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Getting WiFi separate from the motherboard

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

@clever sluice the advantage of wifi "in" the mainboard is price and convenience.

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Unless you get a high-end WiFi card it might be better

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:08 PM

#

Hm , if I don’t get a motherboard with WiFi I’ll have to by a WiFi card ? So I can connect my pc to the WiFi ? Sorry I’m new to this

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

Yes

#

However not all WiFi cards have Bluetooth

#

If that’s important to you or not

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:09 PM

#

Oh , I never knew that . How come people don’t add WiFi cards to there build list then

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Most use Ethernet

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

because people generally try to NOT use wifi

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

Ethernet is much faster

#

I have to use WiFi tho

#

Cause the router is way to far from my room

#

But yeah if you can use Ethernet I highly recommend it

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:11 PM

Wait Ethernet? Lol I’m so lost . What’s that ? Do you mean internet

Lol

Internet but not WiFi

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

@clever sluice do you currently have a machine?

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

Ethernet is a wired connection

#

A cable from the router to your pc

#

WiFi is a wireless connection

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Machine ? Wired ? ..... Ight hold up . Right now I have a internet router . Wireless

#

Oh so Ethernet is wired

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

You can hook up a wire to the router

#

And then hook up that wire to the pc

#

That’s Ethernet

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:13 PM

#

Ahh

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Yeah

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Yea I can’t do that since my router is like in my living room

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Ah

#

Same with me

#

So WiFi is an alternative

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

Hm ok

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

You can get a mobo with WiFi like me

#

Or a WiFi card

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:14 PM

#

its not an alternative, it is a requirement.

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Well it’s a requirement if you can’t use Ethernet

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Oh ok

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

Alternative if you can but rather not

which he just said he cant.

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:16 PM

#

So to clarify , to have my pc connected to the internet I need to have a WiFi card ? Or I could use a motherboard with WiFi in it or something

#

Yes

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:17 PM

Oh ok

WiFi cards go into a PCIe x1 slot so make sure you have one that won’t be in use which most likely you will

What would I put in a PCle x1 other then a WiFi card ?

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:18 PM

There are many different things you could put

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

ready for the next question @clever sluice ?

timber trench Mar 22, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

A sound card, USB adapters, etc.

#

You won’t need those tho

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:19 PM

#

yes

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:20 PM

your One S most likely has a 1tb drive in it

(where a part of it is reserved for the console itself)

Ok that’s good so if someday I need more then 1tb that’ll be good

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:47 PM

For a 2 tb hdd?

that is a hdd, not a ssd.

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:49 PM

#

its practical

#

because it gives you the freedom to choose

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:50 PM

#

Yea and apparently if I would do that my startup time would be fast but my games load time would be decent which is fine with me

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

its a bit more complicated than that, but close enough for now :)

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

😄 ok

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

and just so you are aware.

#

there are no stupid questions, only silly answers

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:52 PM

#

Hm well that’s good to know lol since I feel like I’ve just asked a ton of stupid questions

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

they are not stupid.

#

you want to know the answers = not stupid.

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

Tru, thank you

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:53 PM

#

just because they might be trivial for me to answers, does not mean they are stupid questions.

#

there are plenty of things in other areas that i dont know jack about :)

#

you are very welcome :)

#

i have a list that i am putting together for you, and i am getting to the monitor part now

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Ok great

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

sidenote: your TV, what model is that @clever sluice ?

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 8:58 PM

#

Samsung

#

That’s all I know about it . Oh and it’s a smart tv

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

there should be a model number on the bezel of it somewhere

#

@clever sluice how firm is your budget?

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

Pretty firm . I’m only 15 and I don’t have a job anymore since

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

fair

#

and it was 1520 usd @clever sluice ?

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

It was a hold on n

#

@foggy hazel yea it was a 1,518 USD budget

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

okay

#

and just to make 100% certain that i dont misunderstand something.

#

that is for the machine + monitor

#

but without the cpu itself?

#

(because you already have the cpu)

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

Yes sir

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

good

#

next question

#

do you have a usb stick (8+ gigs)?

#

because you will need one for the installation of windows.

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

No

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

any brothers/sisters that might have one you could borrow for a day?

#

or your parents for that sake

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Oh wait just like a usb stick

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

yes

#

just a random 8+ gig usb stick that is not being used for anything else.

vague crystal Mar 22, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

yeah, you also need a pc to put windows installer on the usb stick. but i just got here so im not sure if you already have one

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Yea I have that

#

My mom has a laptop

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

so that part is solved. good

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Sweet

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

okay

#

so, currently i am having a debate about what kind of monitor you would want

#

because depending on that, your GPU goes up/down a model

#

related question: you used to playing on a pc at all?

#

as in, did you go to friends houses and play etc?

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

No, I don’t have a lot of experience with gaming on pc

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:16 PM

#

(i am asking to get a feel for the requirements you might have for the monitor)

#

hm

#

nope. not going to work "right"

#

so, this si the current suggestion @clever sluice

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/R9wgq3

System Builder

#

which is 1450-ish budget wise

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Ok I’ll look

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

the difference between that list and the others you have linked so far is this:

#

ive asked what you actually needed and wanted

#

and tried to find parts that actually fit that.

deep skiff Mar 22, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

why x570 instead of a board like the b450 tuf pro or pro carbon?

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

because that board is 4 bucks more than the carbon

#

tuf pro doesnt have wifi

deep skiff Mar 22, 2020, 9:33 PM

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 9:33 PM

@timber trench Cheap tempered glass case is $45 or so. A five pack of RGB fans is $37. Totalling about the same price as the case itself and not including the extra fans. For RAM you're spending the same amount that'd get you 2x8gb 3200 CL14 or 3600 CL16. SSD is overpriced for what it is. Sure it's cheaper then Samsung, but that doesnt mean it isnt overpriced

deep skiff Mar 22, 2020, 9:33 PM

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 9:34 PM

about 2.5 hours ago I think

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

Sick and I subtracted the cpu cost and it’s perfect . One thing I’m worried about is taxes

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

also @clever sluice every single other list is either missing something or something doesnt have a price.

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

How much would it boost my price is what I’m scared about

#

@foggy hazel that is true

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

price should be what you see there

#

but, i am not a US resident, so i dont know your local state rules all that well

clever sluice Mar 22, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

Oh ok

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

the 1446 you seen in the list @clever sluice is with the CPU subtracted.

cursive wharf Mar 22, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

@loud apex pfp from the anime Darker then Black. It's fairly okay. Not many people like the ending nor does it do a good job at explaining some details that're kinda important

x570 mobo is not nedded, but its good for future upgrades

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 10:30 PM

#

when the other option is a 150usd board, paying the 4usd extra for all the other things that the 570 board brings, is imo the only sane choice. @vague crystal

vague crystal Mar 22, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

yeah

foggy hazel Mar 22, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

also, for a machine that is intended to last a good long time, and be upgraded in the future? it all adds up in favour of the 570

foggy hazel Mar 23, 2020, 2:57 AM

just the brand price that is going up @wide sparrow

sabrent was cheap in the start

because it was unknown and turned out to be a good brand/series

cursive wharf Mar 23, 2020, 4:35 AM

@foggy hazel idk, feel like Sabrent mostly just got hit with the NAND price rise. It's not like they were always the best for the price even before the price rise
