oh yeah im in canada !

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:27 PM

#

does anyone have part picker list for 1000 ish for gaming computer intel cpu

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

why intel cpu

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

@humble mural we can make one, but it would not make logical sense in regards to budget at that point.

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

wdym

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

expensive for no logical reason

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

i dont know to much

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

(intel)

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

this is going to be my first build

@grand spindle https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-CP-9020121-NA-Bronze-Certified-Non-Modular/dp/B01MRW2K79/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cx+550&qid=1587227487&sr=8-1

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:31 PM

#

AMD is currently cheaper and makes more sense for CPUs.

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

oh so what amd would be the best

#

amd ryzen 5 3400g this is one i was thinking of but idk

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

for gaming?

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

yes

#

or would 3600 ?

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

Right now either 3600 or 1600af.

#

1600af as more of a budget choice

grand spindle Apr 18, 2020, 4:35 PM

#

its in my cart already! and @foggy hazel when you get a second because youre juggling 1000 questions lmao, you recommend switching to Nvidia or keep my AMD graphics?

#

i just personally like AMD 😛

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:36 PM

#

well, it wouldnt matter much, it is ultimately a question of: What are you willing to pay for really

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

rAyTraCiNg

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

and i know that i am pushing your budget here, but imo, https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_559&item_id=135901 <- that is the more sensible choice

#

@grand spindle see above :)

grand spindle Apr 18, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

honestly price really isnt the option at this point and thats the cheapest ive seen for that graphics card oh my lol

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:39 PM

#

:)

grand spindle Apr 18, 2020, 4:40 PM

#

Thats perfect thank you so much ill kepp you updated as she gets fed 😛

#

keep*

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:40 PM

best of luck @grand spindle :)

I'm actually just gonna suggest my list again

System Builder

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

that barra hdd is good btw, you really want to have more than just that ssd for storage

#

only ur os and biggest games will be on the ssd, the rest can be used for cache if u want

#

i would go with Mr111's list

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

what about the cpu

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

1600af performs like a 2600

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

its a solid option, the gpu can carry a lot of weight. If it really bothers you, maybe a 2060 and more money towards the cpu

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

and in games, the GPU carrys the weight

#

and with that motherboard, you can upgrade to a better 4th gen ryzen chip down the line if you want to

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

^^

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

be careful of that one @stoic island

#

yes, i know, there is a rumour about it right now

#

but we dont have official confirmation from Asus about that

#

and just to be 100% certain it is clear. I dont disagree. But context needs to be given when saying what you did @stoic island

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:56 PM

#

What rumour?

#

I went to do something else

#

Might've missed something

#

@foggy hazel what do you mean?

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:57 PM

#

the 4th gen support on b450 chipset boards

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

I assume it would continue

#

afterall a320 got 3rd gen support. But yes, it is an assumption

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 4:59 PM

#

aye

#

and you have some background info for understanding that

#

someone that is just starting out or dont have that much of an interest in the topic wont

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:00 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KpCXZf

System Builder

#

what about now

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

wuts with the 3600

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

Also, that rumor

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

i just herd alot of good stuff about it

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

do you think that would be the case? Afterall, the mainboard manufacturers should know the info already.

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

@stoic island imo, it depends entirely on the b550 boards

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

its good, but you are looking for gaming no? the 3600 is good yes but are you into music production, rendering, or video production?

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

no

#

i just like to play games

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

you dont need a 3600

#

you are doubling the cost of your cpu

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

it boost you fps by 10%

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

85$ for a 1600af is extremely good price to performance

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

it looks like

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

@humble mural you are focusing on the wrong parts

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

it will be cheaper to upgrade ur cpu down the line than your gpu

stoic island Apr 18, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

Yea

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

so i should get 1600 and get better gpu

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

@humble mural just go with what @stoic island linked earlier

#

its a solid build

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

will completely fill your gaming needs

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

the one that mr1111 linked?

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

yes

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

ok

#

you think there will be better option for cpu any time soon

#

like in 3 months

#

or gpu

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

maybe, maybe not.

#

you are the only one that can decide what the "time" is worth for you

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:09 PM

#

also @stoic island may i ask why that ssd on the list? theres a wd for a little less isnt there

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

because its a solid ssd

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

well im buy part by part so every 2 weeks get some parts

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

bad idea

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

save up and get it all at once

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

save up money, buy when you have it all

#

the "part by part" approach is imo horrible for getting a decent machine

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

y would you say that\

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

because things change too much

#

and the people doing this approach (in this case you) are quite unlikely to pay close enough attention to the parts to actually get the parts that make sense

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

it wont be too long tho just like month or 2

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

in that case it really would be better to wait

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

because it is close to impossible to make a list NOW, that will be valid in (2 weeks * 8 parts =) 4 months

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

the market is wack right now

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

in other words, start saving up.

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

in the meantime, you can wait and see if your mobo will have definite support for a ryzen 4th gen or maybe ram will go down in price

#

so many things can change in 4 months

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

the advantage to doing that is this: IF in 2 months you actually need the money for something serious, then you have it.

humble mural Apr 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

ok

Hey can someone help me find a good pc on 1000$ if you find pls DM me with nividia 2070 pls

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

u want to build or have it prebuilt

#

feel like 111's list should just be pinned XD

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

@woeful elm it comes and goes

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

people just want a fix all and will immediate answer

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:45 PM

also, just in case you didnt know, sometimes discord is slow in showing "earlier/older" content in a channel when you have just joined

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 5:46 PM

#

if ur gunna spend $1000 on something it would be smart to do some research on ur own lol

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 5:47 PM

plenty of people spend a lot more than that without a care in the world

Hello?

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 6:22 PM

the 5600xt chip itself is a fair deal faster than the 1070

Does anyone know of any good trading forums. I'm building my first PC, a few of the components Im looking for are sold out everywhere.

I know FB has trading but I deleted my account years ago and don't want to go back. I've also checked ebay.

I was wondering if this is a good PC for my friend it says he's not allowed to post this link so I posted it for him

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

its out of stock tho

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Hi

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Is it just for gaming? If so, what games? If not, what usage would it see?

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

It's the @wraith herald

#

It just didn't let him put the link so talk to him about it not me LOL

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

its out of stock tho

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Yeh, just asking since I see him here too.

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Yeah it’s for me

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

What would ya use it for

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Mostly gaming

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Which games?

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Just wondering if it is any good

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Do you plan to stream?

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Probably not

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

its not very good because there are none left

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

In general looks like a solid build for most gaming

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Ok

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Lol @viral ore

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Thx

#

True

#

It is out of stock

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

would you want to build it? its much easier than u think

#

build a pc urself

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

I could help u mike

#

Don't watch the verge

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

heh

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

I mean I’m not getting it for like 2 months so it might be back in stock by then

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

theres like 100 people here who can help you build a PC

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Yes but we're frends form school

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

plus whatever you build will be much better than that cyberpower

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

So it would be easier for me to help

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Yeah

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

yeah

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:08 PM

#

So what do u want to do?

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

I guess I’ll wait to see if it’s in stock

#

And if not I’ll build it

#

In like 2 months

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

i would suggest building it regardless

#

its just cheaper that way

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

What if we just built it with the same parts

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

it would be cheaper and better quality

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:09 PM

#

And did a PC Park picker list

#

@viral ore

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:10 PM

#

yeah, theres a bunch of people here who are capable of putting a decent parts list

#

when it comes time to buy, just send a msg here listing your budget

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Ok

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

and probably within 30 mins you will know exactly what parts to buy

#

and you can buy them

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:11 PM

#

Ok I’m not getting it for like 2 months

viral ore Apr 18, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

then remember to ask here 2 months from now

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Ok

vivid coral Apr 18, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

If you give us a Max budget we can try and put a list together but in two months that PC could be worth $900

#

So

wraith herald Apr 18, 2020, 9:12 PM

#

Ok

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

@spark sleet you are aware of the budget that would require right?

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

Currently looking to drop 5-6 grand, so should be ballpark in the right area

#

Just don't wanna bother if there's tons of compatibility issues

#

Thinking I may just go with the ryzen 9

#

You have any relevant info on my question though? @foggy hazel

#

That sounded rude... Didnt mean it to

#

Last time I was getting into PC builds 8 cores were fairly new so, super out of the loop when it comes to the threadrippers

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

@spark sleet i do

#

and dont worry about it sounding rude

#

and please take the following questions in a positive way

#

what do you intend to use the system for?

#

(asking to get a feel for what "kind" of system will best suit you)

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

My intended use is mostly just going to be streaming/gaming, so I know it is complete overkill, but I'm just trying to future proof as much as possible

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

because the threadrippers are bit of a "odd-duck" kind of system

#

dont go threadripper

#

not even in a "money is not an option/limit" build

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

With the rise and assumed continued growth for vr, just trying to make sure I don't need a new build for 10 years

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:40 PM

#

currently the limit/problem is software

#

most programs just cluck like a chicken and twiddle their thumbs when presented with the TR chips

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Yeh, makes sense.

#

Ryzen 9 it is then.

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

mind, they are AWESOME for render work

#

but ... yeah :)

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Was gonna do an Intel chip but

#

With streaming, the ryzen should be a better bang for my buck

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:41 PM

#

Ryzen 9 = threadripper

#

sorry, i was thinking of the 70

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

Uhhh, I'll double check but, from what I saw ryzen 9s are 12core non-threadrippers?

#

Okay lol

#

Was gonna say

#

Haha

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:42 PM

#

the 3950x is also a ryzen 9

#

and the 3950x is a 16core/32thread cpu for the regular am4 socket

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Yeah, would you mind if I pcpartpickered my current Amazon wishlist and DMd you about it?

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

have at it :)

#

not going anywhere :)

spark sleet Apr 18, 2020, 9:43 PM

#

Thanks, saw you helping others earlier and ya seem knowledgable

#

Gonna be a bit, doing this all mobiley

they are not called monolisks btw that was a joke

Water cooling?

Ok so what parts should I get

full seal Apr 18, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

Shouldn't need that much for a 8700 non-K. Just a CM 212 or similar will do a ton better than a stock cooler.

unkempt ibex Apr 18, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

New ram?

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 10:55 PM

#

watercooling looks so nice, but its not worth the premium. Noctua doesnt look great in rigs, maybe a corsair or something.

foggy hazel Apr 18, 2020, 10:56 PM

performance first, looks later

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 10:56 PM

only one stick of ram right?

True dat but they could have gone black instead of tan and brown lmao

3900x has better performance, but gets slightly less fps in games

if gaming isn't the absolute only thing you do, get the 3900x

@unkempt ibex why prebuilt

why not build it yourself

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 11:52 PM

its a prebuilt that he needs to fix

its got like 32 gb in one ram slot

@unkempt ibex explain yourself

woeful elm Apr 18, 2020, 11:53 PM

he basically needs a better cpu cooler and probably another stick of ram for dual channel, it could be only 16 in one slot but thats what i caught from earlier

Hi, I'm an amateur that is salvaging some pieces of my old ASUS i7 desktop (new psu, silent fans, 1 tb ssd) I'm tired of messing around with motherboard and cpu. i just cant get it to work.

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

its a single stick of 16 correct>

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

Yes

#

Idc what I need to replace

full seal Apr 19, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

@unkempt ibex If you want to add another DIMM of RAM you should figure out the exact make/model/frequency/timing of the one you have and try to buy an identical one.

A Cooler Master Hyper 212 is a really good option for upgrading to a substantially better CPU cooler without spending a ton of money. Anything bigger or better is going to see diminishing returns on a 8700.

500w should be enough for your system but just barely. Find a 750w 80+ gold rated PSU from a reputable brand for something a bit more solid and upgrade friendly.

Also maybe tempter your expectations a bit. Not sure what kind of monitor you are using but 240 fps at the highest graphic settings is hard to pull off in a lot of current games even with decent hardware.

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

i would say get a second stick thats exactly the same as the one u have in there

#

well saevis got it

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

One of my friends pulls 240 with my cpu and a rx 590 or something like thag

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

@full seal I would go Deepcool Gammaxx + extra rgb fan for push/pull, but okay

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

that all depends on what game at what graphics settings

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

He played on sorta high

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

@full seal 500w is more then enough

#

not "just barely"

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

The Gammaxx is technically better than the hyper 212

#

gammaxx 400

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:14 AM

#

As a fun note, stock 3950x and 2080Ti can easily run off a 550w

#

secondly, never trust a PSU by brand

#

or by rating

#

or modularity, etc

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

Alr so should I get a new motherboard or keep it

full seal Apr 19, 2020, 12:16 AM

#

I mean you should also read reviews before you buy anything but they're decent standards to start with.

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:17 AM

just list out the parts you have all in one message, and the budget you have to upgrade

#

thats the link u posted earlier

#

honestly, get a techie opinion on that one chief. Its really not worth it to switch out major components on this pc.

#

it looks like, in the listing photos, that it comes with two sticks of ram

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

from the way i see it, the only things i think you need are: a second stick of ram, a cpu cooler. Before going out and buying a massive cpu cooler, make sure that it will fit in your case and next to your ram.

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:25 AM

#

Ok

#

Will that help my frames?

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:26 AM

see: dual channel memory.

#

if thats whats on ur mobo, then in theory yes. but again i would also get a second opinion from someone who knows a little more than me

do you have your own gaming rig?

woeful elm Apr 19, 2020, 12:32 AM

but i dont have a lot of dough, i build more for others than i build myself

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:33 AM

set the Windows Performance profile to High Performance

clocks could be going up/down during gaming, which can cause stuttering

manually update audio drivers, GPU drivers, win update

How do I update my audio drivers

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:37 AM

#

Device Manager>Audio inputs and outputs>find what driver you have (most likely realtek)

#

theoretically speaking you shouldnt have stutters with your current hardware. So I doubt some random upgrade would fix it

#

Also Naed, I see you typing. Any pointers would help too

yellow!

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:39 AM

#

If u want I can send a other picture of my pc

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

like, lot of the time OEM machines have a "meh" PSU. They can sometimes skimp out on protections, be group regulated, have bad performance

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

Yeah

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

sometimes they're good enough in all regards

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

But idk I have a 2080 and i7 8700 and my frames arnt thag good

#

So like what would be holding that back?

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:42 AM

#

most likely software

#

or, maybe you just expect more out of the system then what you think you should have

#

example, viewing a 8700k+2080 accidently benchmark and expecting the same results

#

rather then 8700+2080

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

I mean yeah but I know someone who gets 240 with a rx590

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

settings, resolution, scenario in game (are they looking at the sky), actual game, etc all matter

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

No not at all and his setting are not all on low

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

"not on low" and "exactly as mine" are two very, very, different things

unkempt ibex Apr 19, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

He has some on high

cursive wharf Apr 19, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I can set "tessellation" on high and perf would barely change compared to low for 99% of games that have that setting

#

so again, perf isnt comparable until you compare to same settings

#

not "almost same"

#

but "exactly same"

can someone help me choose the perfect parts for a gaming $1500 budget

fast lantern Apr 19, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

Hey guys, im building my first gaming rig n ordering my parts in a couple days. The parts i have chosen now is an asrock b450m pro4-f, 16 gig 3200 ram, a pny gtx 1660 super, and a ryzen 5 1600af. Im also getting a new cpu cooler, and the nr400 with extra fans to improve airflow and hopefully allow for some good overclocks. Im wondering if this build will be good enough for close to 144hz gaming? I dont mind lowering my graphics down to even the lowest values, i just want 144hz in most games i throw at it on 1920x1080p

#

Ive seen benchmarks of the 1600af and 1660 super, but most benchmarks ive seen are done in high/ultra graphics. I cant really find the answer anywhere on whether or not this will be good enough when lowering my graphics

stoic island Apr 19, 2020, 6:18 AM

#

When you lower your graphics, it's extremely likely that you'll be able to get 144fps.

#

But how far you'll have to lower settings depends on the game

fast lantern Apr 19, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

Okay thank you! Yeah ive gone from intel hd graphics, to a gt 1030, so i dont mind lowered graphics at all :) I just want enough for 1920x1080 144hz lol

#

I also have kind of bad eyesight, so i dont even mind dropping down to 1280x720 and enabling fxaa since i cant really tell a huge difference between the 2 anyways lol. Also, its my first time ordering off amazon and my b450m pro4-f ran out of stock, it says in an orange color "In stock on april 23, 2020", but it still has the "buy now" button available. Does that mean i can buy the part now and once they get it back in stock they will automatically ship it to me?

stoic island Apr 19, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

I would assume so

#

Also a 1660 super can handle 1080p just fine, don't need to lower the quality much lol

#

You should reasonably accomplish close to 144fps in most games on high/medium settings

#

I'm not too sure, since I don't own a 1660 super, but it definally wont force you to move to 720p.

fast lantern Apr 19, 2020, 6:33 AM

#

Okay sweet thanks for the info lol, i hope that it allows me to order all my parts in a few days then. I want to get it asap so i hope they will allow me to purchase it before its officially in stock lol

I just found out a few days ago u can actually go into the ram makers website and search for supported motherboards if the ram ur viewing isnt in ur mobo qvl. Ive been seeing some good reviews on corsair vengeance lpx, just make sure it is compatable :) Also if ur running a ryzen cpu, i heard ryzen likes faster ram speeds (3000mhz+) so to get the most out of your build u may want to go with something fast and has 2 sticks for dual channel

And im not sure about the rgb fans, so im sorry i cant help with that

Hey can anyone here explain to me the difference between adata xpg ram model number AX4U320038G16-DRS, and the model number AX4U320038G16A-DBZ. I think the last part of the model number has to do with the coloring, but i dont understand why there is the letter A after the model number in the ram im looking at. I want to get a asrock b450m pro4 and the model number without the A is supported but will the model with the A work as well since it is all they have in stock on amazon?

#

Ive tried looking the answer up but havent found anything what so ever on the model number differences. There is also one that is the same model number but instead of an A its an F, do i have to be worried about the last letter or does it not matter?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

idk

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

why did you ask to get it posted if you didnt want feedback?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

well i wanted feedback

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

GRRR naed, my bank keeps thinking Newegg is fraudulent

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

take that up with your bank

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

I have to call my bank now to tell them to unblock my card

#

Lol

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

lol that happened to me

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

I know Newegg isn't fraudulent

#

Been way to loyal of a customer

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:08 PM

i’m on new egg about every day

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 4:08 PM

i personally dont care where people buy their parts

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

i’m always looking for deals

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 4:08 PM

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

I used my stimulus check on my pc

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

i’m not 18 so i didn’t get a stimulus check

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:15 PM

#

No but if your under 16 your parents got 500

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

like my mom would ever let me have it

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

If your older than 16, and haven't filed 2019 tax return, yeah.. no go

tranquil dust Apr 19, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

my mom let me use that 500 lmao

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

i wish

meager relic Apr 19, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

Lol good for her

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 4:17 PM

#

i only need like $300 more to get my pc

#

but i can’t work now

slender solar Apr 19, 2020, 4:58 PM

#

can someone rate my upcoming build plan

#

its

#

Ryzen 5 3600

#

asus b450i

#

corsair vengeance rgb 3600mhz 16gb

#

rx 5700xt Nitro+

#

lian li TU 150

#

and any 500-600w itx psu

#

my budget is $1200

little osprey Apr 19, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

do you plan to do any streaming of any sort?

#

@slender solar

slender solar Apr 19, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

Not really

#

Maybe in the future

little osprey Apr 19, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

👍

#

Was gonna say that if you were maybe an RTX card would do you justice, but that sounds like it'll be a sick build!

slender solar Apr 19, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

I'm waiting for big Navi and 4000 amd

#

Idk if I should

#

Bc the only way my parents will let me build another computer is if I sell my current one

#

But with the virus the prices are really bad so I don't want to waste money rn

icy plume Apr 19, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

honestly it actually looks pretty good to me

#

i just don't know enough about the PSU to judge, and you're honestly getting overcharged on that corsair memory

tranquil dust Apr 19, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

that's 3000

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

@sleek lotus is there any specific reason that you are using Scan?

latent storm Apr 19, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

hey my case came with two fans, should i get a third?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

if you want

#

where are the two fans at

latent storm Apr 19, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

will one intake and one exhaust be good for a ryzen 5 3600 and 2070 super

#

one intake and one exhaust

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

it should be

#

if you really wanted to be safe you could get one more for exhaust but you will be fine with 2

latent storm Apr 19, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

i wouldn’t need another for intake for sure though?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

you could

#

what kind of case is it

latent storm Apr 19, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

fractal design meshify c atx

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

it looks like it has good air flow

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:17 PM

#

@sleek lotus i am aware. that doesnt explain Scan as the only place to buy from

#

they are not exactly known as the cheapest place

#

start by putting your build together in pcpartpicker

#

remember to select United Kingdom in the upper right dropdown

#

that will give you some context for what it is going to cost you to "only" get things from 1 place

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

does anyone have any websites or coupon codes for amazon for a logitech g29

#

for it to be cheaper

weak arrow Apr 19, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

Hey. I have a question about my build

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

ask, and someone will answer if they feel they have something to say about it

weak arrow Apr 19, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

1600Af+2060ko

#

Can I get 150 FPS on fortnite with that combo

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:28 PM

#

google that

#

and take note of all the other details you have left out

#

and then please come back and ask a question we can actually answer :)

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/g2g9BZ Is this part list good?
I already bought the gtx 1650, so don't criticize me for a dead-on-arrival card
want a mild oc with the ryzen 5 3600, just to bring it up to ryzen 5 3600x level

System Builder

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

if stock keeps being what it currently is, then you are going to wait a long time for the AMP

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

I know, im building after the quarantine

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

that is a detail that is fairly important to mention up front :)

#

i would personally not buy the tomahawk

#

it is not worth the money

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:51 PM

#

which one should get then

#

i got the advice from the crew at LTT server

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

they most likely latched on to the "overclocking" part of your comment/question

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

k

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/y3prxr/asus-tuf-b450m-pro-gaming-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-tuf-b450m-pro-gaming <- this does everything the tomahawk does, and more

#

aside from having you pay for VRM's that wont matter one bit for you

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

but it cant fit 3600 rams

#

thats why i went for the tomahawk

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

i would strongly suggest that you actually look at the product page

#

https://puu.sh/FzGzp/edf4519269.png <- because that is just a sample from the QVL for that board

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 6:59 PM

#

oh

#

i guess then

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:01 PM

#

added advantages of that board include, but are not limited to an extra m.2 port

#

a soundchip you dont want to burn upon first listen

#

and a cheaper price

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

lmao i guess then

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:03 PM

#

but, you have to be aware, that yes, technically the vrm on the tomahawk are "better"

#

however, realistically, it is not going to matter for you at all

#

but, hopefully all of this is going to be moot by the time you actually want to build your rig

#

and the b550 chipset boards are actually out, and the TUF has a successor

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

i just realized i never got feedback for my pc part picker list

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

because you couldn't decide if you wanted it or not @umbral moon [edit: couldn't)

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

i said yes

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

http://puu.sh/FzGK5/c674029f36.jpg <- that was what you said :)

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:06 PM

#

then i said yes

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

http://puu.sh/FzGMB/3735bc94fc.png

#

technically, you said you "wanted" something. which means you dont want it anymore

#

:)

#

but lets have a look at your build then

#

any specific reason you are going with those specific parts?

#

specifically thinking ram/mobo/ssd here

#

and what is the actual budget on that build?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

no budget

#

just a pc for gaming

#

my first pc build

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

what made you choose those parts?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

a friend

#

well he told me to get the ryzen 7 and i chose the mobo

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

I mean you can make a good motherboard like the b450 but all the others do is just add designs to a motherboard you can get for a 100$

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

a b450 for $100

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

and what about the other parts?

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

Well same deal

#

Just company’s spend to much on design

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

well for the ram i won 2 sticks of it awhile ago so buying two more will get me 4 sticks

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

@sharp perch question wasnt for you :)

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

So it’s flashy and people say hmm that looks good

#

Yeah I know

#

Naed:)

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

@foggy hazel anything else to fix?

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

@umbral moon and as i asked, what about the other parts?

#

@modern shadow 2sec, let me look again :)

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

like the hdd, sdd, and what else

#

the hdd is for game storage

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

scroll up and read :)

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:19 PM

#

the sdd is for windows 10 and small applications

#

and the mobo is a semi cheap one that is good

#

also recommended

#

to me

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

did that same friend suggest that specific ssd?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

no

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

what about the GPU?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

i found that one myself and the same friend told me it was good

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

@modern shadow you might be able to save a bit on the SSD side of things

#

but that is going to be very much in flux, so as a placeholder for the "intention" it is a solid way of doing that @modern shadow

sly depot Apr 19, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

Random question. Is a Ryzen 5 1600 (not the AF) enough for a gtx 1080 ti?

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:22 PM

#

especially when keeping in mind that the build isnt intended to be purchased for a good while

#

@sly depot technically, yes

modern shadow Apr 19, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

@foggy hazel just waiting for prices to come down after C_______________________

#

you knwo what

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

@modern shadow and that is going to introduce all kinds of flux in the price, so .. yeah :)

#

@umbral moon for a "no budget" build, going with a 300usd GPU seems very ... odd ...

#

just saying.

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:25 PM

#

lol

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

@foggy hazel little hard having lots of people need help I could help you

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

this would be a better option, it would just take a lot longer to save up

📎 image0.png

#

that’s what i had originally

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:28 PM

#

Dont get that one

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

hey

#

uh

#

autocorrect bad

#

why

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

If I were you get a lower end gpu

#

It only does a bit more but a 2080 or 2070s are also good

#

What do you wanna do with your rig

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

gaming

#

and streaming

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

@umbral moon the point is that the "logic" behind your build seems fairly out of wack

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

Than I don’t think you need a 2080 ti

#

People stream with 1660s and they are doing fine

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

okay

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:31 PM

#

But what monitor will you pick/have

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

📎 image0.png

#

i won that in the same giveaway as the ram

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

Than why are you getting a 2080ti it’s more for 4K

#

That monitor I should get a lower gpu it isn’t even that much of a boost

#

Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice gpu but other GPU’s like lower ends 1070 or 2070 is good enough

#

If you want nearly an expiriance as the 2080ti you can do a 1070ti sli

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

okay

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

That is also really nice

#

I mean for that money for the gpu you can get a full working pc

#

@foggy hazel wanna take over;)

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

okay

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

nah, its not a serious build

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

Ah okay

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

so i dont see a need to comment on it really

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

I mean yeah a 2080ti is just for people who already have the money and know they need that extra horse power

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

it’s a serious build but alright

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

I mean when do you think you can get you’re build

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

depends on what parts i chose

foggy hazel Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

"no budget" + the answers you have given so far = not a serious build.

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

If it’s like 5 years than yeah

#

Okay so how mutch do you think you can get in a year

#

In money

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

i already have $832 saved up

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

How long did it take you to get that money

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

and it all depends if i can even work this summer

#

because of corona

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Yeah I know hard times

#

But how long did it take to get your 832 dollars

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

like 4 months

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

Hmm than do you make money or do you just get this for personal things

#

Because I think that’s hard to believe

#

If you’re a hard working person than I get it

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

i make 9 an hour

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

Hmm

#

Than idk man go for a low end build

#

You don’t need the highest specs

#

Or if you wait spare money more because they are releasing much more things this year

#

Like the ps5 or the new Xbox

#

But if you live in USA

#

Than I wanna recommend the h1

#

Really good and you can take it with you

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

okay

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

So you live in the USA?

#

Or somewhere else?

umbral moon Apr 19, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

yes

#

i live in the usa

sharp perch Apr 19, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Than go to the letsbld site and find the h1 and it is decently spekked or if you’re a intel guy and want a smaller case than the h1 than get intels new build with their better chipset

#

Liberated you can’t self promo here or serve weird links or lots of text

raw igloo Apr 19, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

Can someone check out my build? It is my first time and I already bought the intel core i9 9000k
