#

ive had a job for the last 9 years to pay my own way lol

misty heron
#

Wow u even get to spend your own money?

#

Thats crazy

#

Wish i could do that

echo tapir
#

So I have too actually build my desk so if my pc gets delivered before I finish my desk I might play on the floor

sacred obsidian
#

when you have your own job id hope you could spend your own money .-.

misty heron
#

If i could my new pc parts wouldve been shipping already

#

I do have my own job

sacred obsidian
#

what kind of desk

misty heron
#

But my parents dont want me buying anything

#

Wdym what kind of desk

sacred obsidian
#

are they taking your money?

sullen spoke
#

I want to get a vr headset but my parents won't let me get it

jagged ember
#

The limitations of life

sacred obsidian
#

ghost do you have a job?

sullen spoke
#

nope not yet

misty heron
#

No its in my account but theyd obviously know if i bought anything

sullen spoke
#

they said i should work at apple or bestbuy

jagged ember
#

that's actually kinda dumb though

lyric thistle
#

ew

jagged ember
#

it's entirely your own money

lyric thistle
#

apple

sacred obsidian
#

get job, get bank account (on your own), save up money, when you can afford 2 VR headsets, buy 1

lyric thistle
#

ew bestbuy

sacred obsidian
#

i mean its not really that bad

misty heron
#

Yeah

jagged ember
#

you should be able to spend it any way you want

sacred obsidian
#

cause trust me, having a savings will come in super handy down the line

jagged ember
#

they can at most give you tips on how to save money

sullen spoke
#

i can afford like 4 rift s' >.<

sacred obsidian
#

but you shuold be allowed to spend some of it

#

buy 2 rift s

misty heron
#

But i feel like i have to save

jagged ember
#

Yeah, saving is really important lol

sacred obsidian
#

give one to me

sullen spoke
#

lol

jagged ember
#

Give me the other one

misty heron
#

Cause ik they havent started saving for my college so i have to pay that by myself

sullen spoke
#

idk im not totally against apple

sacred obsidian
#

nah i already have more than enough money put away for rift S. just waiting for it to go back in stock

jagged ember
#

Apple's fine for the people who use it

sullen spoke
#

and it would be good practice to deal with the people that come through that door

misty heron
#

Bro they dont even let me get a credit card to start building my credit

sacred obsidian
#

2rsfrs, when you get to college, look into fafsa. it will help a ton

misty heron
#

I was gonna plan on buying like a cheeseburger from micdonalds every month

#

And paying it off

#

But theyre like no your too young

#

Fafsa?

sullen spoke
#

some people buy apple for a reason which i like but some just buy because apple and then i don't know what to say to them

misty heron
#

I dont even know what im gonna do with my life yet

sullen spoke
#

especially when they don't have budget

misty heron
#

And im almost about to go to college

sullen spoke
#

same

misty heron
#

How old r u?

sullen spoke
#

17

misty heron
#

Eyyy

#

Lets goo

#

So im scared imma be wasting time at college since i dont have a plan for my future yet

sullen spoke
#

I was thinking somewhere in the realm of either computer science, electrical engineering or audio engineer

misty heron
#

Engineering programs are hella hard tho

sacred obsidian
#

fafsa is like where the government will give you a grant each term to help pay for college, and you don't have to pay it back as long as you pass.

misty heron
#

Im in one for my hs

sullen spoke
#

you have to try stuff out and see what you might like

misty heron
#

Oooh imma save fafsa rq

#

On a tab so i never forget it

#

But how do i try stuff out?

little leaf
#

How do u earn money when ur 13??
@misty heron wait are you 13 or 17

misty heron
#

Im 16

#

I work at mcdonalds xD

#

No some other person said they had 600$ for a pc and they r 13

#

And i was wondering how they obtained that much money

little leaf
#

I see

sacred obsidian
#

you can take 3 core classes and 1 class in diff fields to try them out. just depends on how much you can spend. I was going to community college and im independent so fafsa essentially pays for all of my classes and books and such.

little leaf
#

I do work for my parents to get money

#

10 dollars an hour

sacred obsidian
#

like at their business or like aroudn the house?

misty heron
#

Bruh

#

Thats bank

sacred obsidian
#

10$ an hour is nothing tho peepoSadSip

little leaf
#

ik

sacred obsidian
#

i make 15-20 and i still have no money usually

little leaf
#

like business work

sacred obsidian
#

thats nice tho

misty heron
#

Really?

#

Where do u work @sacred obsidian

sacred obsidian
#

im a pizza delivery driver atm. but since i work all day i make good money and average anywhere between 15-20$ an hour

misty heron
#

Oohjh

sacred obsidian
#

i do all the prep work and everything lol

misty heron
#

But dont you basically earn less bc of gas bills?

#

Oh did u file for unemployment

#

If u arent working atm

sacred obsidian
#

ehhhh kinda. We get paid 25 cents per mile driven to cover gas, and we only spend about 10cents per mile, so we get double what we spend in gas.

#

then tips are separate, which since the pandemic started has been really good

#

and then i get paid 8.50 an hour in the store and 5.25 while driving, but we are currently getting a 2$ per hour bonus so its 10.50 per hour in the store and 7.25 on the road.

#

and i am working, so i dont need to apply

misty heron
#

Tips r v good

#

My mom felt bad for the uberdelivery person yesterday and gave him a 5 dollar tip

#

Idk if thats alot or not but my parents usually only give like 3

sacred obsidian
#

5$ is my minimum tip when ordering delivery lol

#

3 is about average

#

most of the tips i recieve are 3$

misty heron
#

They give you 2 and your like aight no pizza until u give me 3 more

sacred obsidian
#

lmao no

#

i mean when i order food myself, i will tip at least 5$

#

my rule of thumb is 15% with a minimum of 5$.

#

it should be 18 but im to lazy to do that math

jagged ember
#

10% plus 8%

#

bleh

sacred obsidian
#

but 5% is easier to get than 8%

jagged ember
#

exactly

misty heron
#

Ew big tips

sacred obsidian
#

just move the decimal over to get 10%, then cut that in half for 5%, then add to 10%

#

bam

misty heron
#

I need my money too!

jagged ember
#

big brain

sacred obsidian
#

ive been getting a lot of 10$ tips and 20$ tips in the first few weeks

little leaf
#

wanna move this to general?

#

from the buildchat lol

jagged ember
#

dew it

sacred obsidian
#

yeah probably lmao wasn't paying attention to the chat

misty heron
#

lol

echo tapir
#

Oh I have a 1000$ pc and I’m 14

jagged ember
#

'I'm 14, and this is deep'

lyric thistle
#

my computer isn't worth 900 dollars, but you can buy it for that price :)

maiden night
#

899.99 and you have a deal @lyric thistle

lyric thistle
#

smh

#

just buy it on Amazon

jagged ember
#

that's how it always is

#

899.99 is always more attractive than 900

maiden night
#

That’s how they get you

jagged ember
#

'It's like one cent less! what a deal!'

maiden night
#

You can buy so much with a cent

digital flax
#

Can someone just help me with this boot because it ain’t booting

jagged ember
#

where it freezes when you press install after booting into the bios?

digital flax
#

No after bios

#

Bios loads up then once I try to boot it starts loading then freezes

weak arrow
#

Can someone make me a build for gaming and streaming 1080p budget 800

modern shadow
#

K

little leaf
eager chasm
#

It won't be an amazing streaming build, but if you can find a better PSU deal go for it

modern shadow
#

Similar to the one im making ;D

#

Listen to @eager chasm , @weak arrow

eager chasm
#

@little leaf a TP Archer 6 (I think that's what it was) will work, but any WiFi card you put into that board will be right against the GPU

modern shadow
#

Im on a phone so me slow

#

@eager chasm isnt a crucial p1 better cuz NVMe?

stoic island
#

Why not a Team MP34

little leaf
#

which one?

stoic island
#

Or a silicon power A80

modern shadow
#

Oh yea

#

Thos

weak arrow
#

What would make it better for streaming a 2060ko

stoic island
#

Okay I did my job I'm sleeping now baiii

modern shadow
#

I always forget the SSDs

little leaf
#

@eager chasm can you link it can't find it

eager chasm
#

Found it

little leaf
#

oof pricy

#

more than my psu

#

i mean ssd

eager chasm
#

@weak arrow a bigger budget

weak arrow
#

I really don’t have a budget it’s just how long do I want to work to save up the money

stoic island
#

Until next gen drops :D

eager chasm
#

A Ryzen 7 or a 2070 super would make streaming better depending on what encoding method you prefer

little osprey
#

i'd sell my custom draonball pc =p i9-9900k with 2080 super =p

little leaf
#

@eager chasm cant afford that wifi card

#

Anything else

#

?

eager chasm
#

The T4E is a less powerful version

#

You don't want to go super cheap on your WiFi card or you will hate yourself

#

I imagine you want decent speeds

#

The archers are the only cards I've had and they work well enough thumbsupcat

normal crater

Looking for mechanical keyboard .... cherry mx brown ....

proven crater
#

yeah thats what i thought

#

but i dont know much so i need help

little leaf
#

Most things out of stock

vague crystal
#

also, anyone feel free to tweak this, budget is 1k and its itx build. its mainly for emulation and some games. running at 1440p emulation is easy. and uh cemu perfers openGL over vulkan. anyways heres the list. USD btw https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vCt8vW

#

vague crystal
proven crater

glass swift
#

my MB and graphics card is arriving today, like, 30 minutes estimate. YEE HAW BOYS thanks everyone for helping me with the build guys!

sullen spoke
#

I can't remember that part of movie, did he actually throw? xD

glass swift
#

ahhh errr umm its in the uh R rated version ya

sullen spoke
#

lol

stoic island
#

lmao

glass swift
#

so excited. i also got RGB strips, ill post in pics later

#

also quick Q , i need to install windows on it, how do i do that if i dont have a big USB drive?

sudden turret
#

what size usb you got?

cold sorrel
#

Considering recent events, I'm really glad I waited on my build and didn't listen to the people who kept saying I should just buy a b450 motherboard.

stoic island
#

just buy a b450 motherboard >:D

#

It's always better to wait a few months if you can

#

but if you need it now

#

b450 is where its at

cold sorrel
#

I am currently waiting for next month to see if there any good b550 boards coming.

quaint cloud

Ryzen 3 1200, 8GB 1199mhz single channel, MSI B350M, GTX 1050ti 5gb, 1tb seagate HDD - so this is my current pc and I'd like to spend around 700 dollars on an upgrade but I'm not sure what to upgrade to - can anyone help me out? :)

stoic island
#

@quaint cloud is this a prebuilt or did you build it

sudden turret
#

that's a good budget for upgrades

quaint cloud
#

uh well my pc died not long ago and i had the gpu, cpu and ram replaced

sudden turret
#

but I think your mislead on the amount of ram the 1050ti has 😛

stoic island
#

there is a 5gb 1050ti version iirc

quaint cloud
#

sorry i just typed out my specs from Speccy, if its wrong then my bad

sudden turret
#

wait really?

#

maybe I'm wrong

#

lol

stoic island
#

yea Chinese only iirc

sudden turret
#

I always thought there was a 4gb ti

stoic island
#

theres a 3gb and 5gb

compact hill
#

theres a 5gb?

#

huh

stoic island
#

might've been 1060

#

but still

#

there was a 5gb nvidia 10-series card

compact hill
#

linus did a vid on the 5gb 1060

stoic island
#

prob that then

sudden turret
#

at any rate.

#

what games do you play @quaint cloud

stoic island
#

@quaint cloud what PSU do you have, do you know?

quaint cloud
#

PUBG, COD, Overwatch, CS, GTA, Minecraft mostly

#

I'm not sure but i can check if its important?

sudden turret
#

kinda 🙂

stoic island
#

Yes, it's worth upgrading if you only have like some 400w random psu

quaint cloud
#

Okay nvm just put that on top of the cost of upgrading

stoic island
#

assuming you can flash the bios on your b350m

#

@quaint cloud

modern shadow
#

@stoic island whats a good case or case + fan combo since p400a digital is out

stoic island
#

TD500 mesh

modern shadow
#

Anything else?

#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

CM H500 but most likely out of stock

#

uhh

#

Meshify C if you want

#

P300a is alright, but no rgb either

#

Pure base 500dx is alright if you get it at like <100

modern shadow
#

K thx

Hello I’m planing to do my first ever build what do you guys think of my specs what would you guys change or recommend I’m planing to use a ryzen 5 3600 motherboard is a msi b450 gaming pro carbon ac am4 WiFi and for ram Corsair vengeance rgb pro 16gb 2x8 and the msi GeForce gtx 1660 super 6gb 192bit and corsairs cv 650 and finally nzxt h150 with wd blue 1tb hard drive and team group 512 ssd

fast dust
#

Get a better PSU

#

Corsair CV is iffy

near garden
#

What you thinking I’m not really good with parts

fast dust
#

Corsair CX

sudden turret
near garden
#

Me?

#

What about evga 600bq semi modular

verbal quarry
#

hey i need some help with getting a good pc build for my Rosewill ATX Mid Tower that is good for gaming and cheap. Any suggestions?

cursive wharf
#

@near garden BQ is pretty low quality

near garden
#

Ok I will look for more options

#

What about the evga 650 b5 fully modular

#

This one is 5 eggs on Newegg it’s the Corsair rm Series fully modular

cursive wharf
#

B5 has no real reviews on it. Not talking about "amazon reviews" but reviews that look at voltage regulation/ripple, protections (and whether they work properly), transient response, capacity quality, fan quality, noise (both from fan & coil whine), whether it's group regulated, whether it's multi rail, how good the solder quality is, what the failure rate is, and what the average failure of the PSU causes, etc.

#

So cant recommend B5

near garden
#

Yeah I will go with the rm thanks for the help @cursive wharf and @fast dust @sudden turret

#

Any motherboard recommendations

stoic island
#

go for it

near garden
#

Ok thanks @stoic island it’s going to be my first build I just got to check if everything’s compatible

verbal quarry
#

hey is anyone able to help me build a computer using a Rosewill ATX Mid Tower?

granite imp
#

@sullen spoke what am I looking at here? 🤔

sullen spoke
#

nah i was saying that everyone looks at build chat, they said no regulars do xD

sudden turret
#

-_-

#

since we're all here now.

midnight pelican
#

i thought u were telling to go

sudden turret
#

help unknown target

midnight pelican

verbal quarry

TYRFING

midnight pelican
#

verbal quarry
#

only the case

#

i have a hp pavilion im using

#

but im looking for an upgrade

midnight pelican
#

i see

#

do you have anything in mind already?

#

cpu, gpu,mobo?

verbal quarry
#

no not really. just something cheap but can run games like rust abd arma 3

#

at 100 fps with nice graphics

#

sorry for the blunt responses but i dont really know much about computer parts and what is better for what

midnight pelican
#

what are you looking at for a budget?

verbal quarry
#

every part being around $200 to $400

little leaf
#

wait

#

what

midnight pelican
#

200-400 total?

#

or each

verbal quarry
#

no i odnt have a set budget for everything

#

each yes

little leaf
#

ok

#

well

midnight pelican
#

ok well

little leaf
#

that''ll be easy

midnight pelican
#

yeah

normal brook
#

I think that's a China gaming cafe market only thing @stoic island

#

The 5GB graphics card.

foggy hazel
#

@normal brook "odd" ram config and generally "odd" components is fairly normal in the oem market

next tangle
#

I need some help

#

I open chrome but it just closes by itself

stoic island
#

@next tangle do you have valorant xD

next tangle
#

no why

stoic island
#

There's just so much valorant messes with

#

Always good to ask

next tangle
#

so how do I fix it?

stoic island
#

What exactly happens?

next tangle
#

i can send a screen recording

stoic island
#

Go ahead then

#

Wack

next tangle
stoic island
#

Tried reinstalling?

next tangle
#

no

little leaf
#

wait wrong thing agian

viral ore
#

oof

next tangle
#

I tried @stoic island but it shows this

viral ore
#

you have to uninstall chrome first

foggy hazel
#

restart your machine

next tangle
#

i did

#

oh

#

ok Naed

little leaf
#

@verbal quarry well since I can't see to get the write list just you will beable to get a bunch of good parts

viral ore
#

also that

midnight pelican
#

you forgot psu

next tangle
#

oh it says update and shut down

#

maybe it's because there's an update

foggy hazel
#

let it do its thing.

next tangle
#

i'll check back in with you guys when it's down

#

done*

atomic oasis
#

anyone know when the 3000 graphics card coming out? I heard some info some news coming out tomorrow but not sure if it's just hearsay...

buoyant flame
#

No its not coming out tmr. Its rumored for Q4

#

They're announcing the non consumer products tmr

#

Or maybe the 15th actually I dont remember

atomic oasis
#

non consumer products??

buoyant flame
#

The non gaming line

viral ore
#

quadro, tesla

stoic island
#

Workstation cards

midnight pelican
#

like

#

quadro

buoyant flame
#

Little late Randall lol

atomic oasis
#

ahhh ok... totally forgot I was in this discord... been pricing and making a build for a while.. have one almost done, just wanted to know to get a 2000 series, or wait for 3000 series...

stoic island
#

But also leaking the architecture so it'll be interesting for the consumer segment too

#

Wait if you can

buoyant flame
#

I'd wait personally

atomic oasis
#

i'm rocking an i7 2600k and 1050ti... lol... not sure how much longer i can wait LOL

viral ore
#

wait and get last gen on sale or next gen for more perf for better price

stoic island
#

1050ti doesn't sound that bad...

viral ore
#

itll game

little leaf
viral ore
#

to an extent

atomic oasis
#

oh it's not... i may get all other components and just use the 1050ti in new build, and wait for the 3000 series

viral ore
#

i have friends who still gaem on 1050ti

atomic oasis
#

running 6 accounts of a game, and a bunch of chrome tabs... 😄

#

thinking the i7 and the SSD's really help one another

viral ore
#

@little leaf thats an overpriced build for what it is

little leaf
#

ye but he said 200 per part lol

atomic oasis
#

squidkiller.. that would be a nice beastly computer.... not really up to date on AMD and stuff... i'm more an intel person...

viral ore
#

any reasons for what u chose

midnight pelican
#

he just wants to run rust with good graphics

viral ore
#

ehh

midnight pelican
#

theres no need to make him pay extra

viral ore
#

that one is also questionable

midnight pelican
#

yeah ik

little leaf
#

oh if he wants just on good graphics just get 2070s

midnight pelican
#

i didnt try lol

viral ore
#

wait. who is "he"

atomic oasis
#

the 2080 supers.. nice cards but pricey IMO

little leaf
#

@viral ore lol he said 200 per part

viral ore
#

he?

little leaf
#

not realistic

viral ore
#

i need a username

little leaf
#

not good price to performance just like if you were willing to spend more

verbal quarry
#

@little leaf thank you for the list but i need to mention that i have a case already. Rosewill TYRFING

viral ore
#

ahh

little leaf
#

ye don't go with that list

foggy hazel
#

@atomic oasis i would recommend that you take a serious look at the AMD parts.

little leaf
#

just messing around @verbal quarry

atomic oasis
#

@foggy hazel I should, just been intel for so long... lol...

viral ore
#

@verbal quarry are you looking for a component list?

midnight pelican
#

this is better

#

woops

#

i forgot to change the psu

verbal quarry
#

@viral ore i believe squidkiller helped me out

atomic oasis
foggy hazel
#

@atomic oasis long story short, as things are now. Intel doesnt offer anything that is all that interesting for a mixed workload

little leaf
#

@verbal quarry no don't get that lol

#

I was messing around

verbal quarry
#

oh ok

little leaf
#

not good price to performance

stoic island
#

Wack

little leaf
#

if you want best price to performance don't get a 2080s

atomic oasis
#

@foggy hazel few friends said to go with AMD... i've seen some benchmarks and comparisons.. still see intel being higher...

stoic island
#

B450m pro back in stock btw

#

Go use it

viral ore
#

unknown_target, what is your budget, and what are you using this pc for?

little leaf
#

also @midnight pelican why not x570 for more upgradabilty

stoic island
#

@atomic oasis Intel much more expensive for a bit more performance

normal brook
#

Intel is still higher in certain use cases, but the price isn't there.

atomic oasis
#

@stoic island i've had this CPU for almost 7 years now... been strong 😄

normal brook
#

$80 for less than 10% improvement isn't worth it.

midnight pelican
#

bc it doesnt sound like he plans on upgrading soon

stoic island
#

I'm still reccomending b450 for builds until b550 comes

#

Ah I see

midnight pelican
#

mans just wants to play rust lol

verbal quarry
#

@viral ore $200-$400 for each part using a Rosewill TYRFING

stoic island
#

But today tho

#

@midnight pelican rust doesn't need 32gb ram :p

verbal quarry
#

i want to play my rust without performance lag

viral ore
#

give me a total cost

little leaf
#

Mr11 he made another list

midnight pelican
#

mr111 it 16?

viral ore
#

all parts dont cost the same

verbal quarry
#

and arma 3

atomic oasis
#

and I see the intel i10 series are on pre-order too.. hmmm

stoic island
#

There was 2 kits of ripjaw v 16gb..m

verbal quarry
#

but i also play games that are bigger then that

midnight pelican
#

yeah

#

in the other build

viral ore
#

@verbal quarry i need a total amount you want to spend

stoic island
#

Lemme get to my pc

midnight pelican
#

pcpcpcpcpc

verbal quarry
#

@viral ore i said $200-$400 each part

midnight pelican
#

@verbal quarry different parts have different price ranges it wouldnt make sense to pair a $400 mobo with a $400 gpu

verbal quarry
#

so 1600 - 3200?

#

thats not a good price range

stoic island
#

It's list making time >:D

atomic oasis
#

1600 - 3200 big range...

verbal quarry
#

the one Randall made me seems pretty good

midnight pelican
#

if all you wanna do is make a decent machine to run rust and not planning on doing much more $1200-$1400 should be plenty

verbal quarry
#

its a little over $1200

#

@midnight pelican I think he should go x570 for better upgradablity

atomic oasis
#

i'd get liquid cooling on the one randal posted

verbal quarry

i wont do liquid cooling

#

cool idea just not for me

midnight pelican
#

squidkiller all of the good x570s are super bloated in price right now

atomic oasis

the AIO's I think is good

stoic island

AIOs are expensive for little gain

#

G3 is in stock too

well my aio is 80 bucks

bit expensive

@stoic island what is the compatability warning for?

atomic oasis
#

my AIO was about 70, and works like a champ.. full load never gone oer 54 with room temp being hot from outside...

stoic island
#

Pcpp has a redudant warning for b450 boards they don't check

little leaf
#

when it goes down good deal

celest horizon
#

Buy an AIO for preference / space etc, vs "needing" one

near garden
#

What do you guys think msi b450 Max or Asus tuf b450 gaming pro ?

stoic island
celest horizon
#

MSI is the go-to pick for b450

stoic island
#

Tuf b450m pro

atomic oasis
#

I used the stock CPU cooler for 6 years before the paste went bad... so went with AIO...

stoic island
#

better sound chip, more M.2 slot iirc, cheaper.

midnight pelican
#

is a tuf gaming better than a tomohalk?

stoic island
#

I would say so.

foggy hazel
#

@midnight pelican "pro gaming" <- yes

stoic island
#

Other than a straight up VRM comparison

verbal quarry
#

Thanks @midnight pelican , @stoic island , @little leaf , and @viral ore for helping me out

foggy hazel
#

"gaming plus"? not really

atomic oasis
#

does anyone actually use 2 m.2 SSD's on their computers?

stoic island

And tuf b450m pro is just a bit worse in VRMs

@atomic oasis I mean I kinda have 2 m.2 drives so

@midnight pelican and?

@verbal quarry that is on any semi-modern mainboard

he seemed pretty insistant on the case he had so i figured it would make more sense for an atx board and he didnt seem t o o worried ab price lol

#

its like 10 dollars more ¯_(ツ)_/¯

verbal quarry
#

yea

#

the case supports ATX and mini ATX

foggy hazel
#

you are missing the point of the pro gaming vs tomahawk max

midnight pelican
#

oh lmao

verbal quarry
#

i just dont want to buy another case xD

stoic island
verbal quarry
#

tomahawk max?

foggy hazel
#

@verbal quarry your case supports atx, micro-atx and mini-itx

@stoic island thanks

verbal quarry

yea

stoic island
#

also, your name is wacky.. thought it said "Night reaper", and it just wasn't showing up, and only just realised it's nigth reaper

maybe a misspelling?

or is that intentional

verbal quarry

oh another question

near garden

Misspelling lol

verbal quarry

will any of those lists support dual monitors?

stoic island

All of them should

verbal quarry

ok cool

@foggy hazel can u explain the difference

#

im in the unknown

cursive wharf
#

Tell me, would you spend $500 on a 3900x, $60 on a cooler, and then OC but then be concerned over an extra $30 to buy an x570 over a b450 tomahawk?

verbal quarry
#

whats tomahawk max?

midnight pelican
#

a mobo

verbal quarry
#

mobo?

near garden
#

Hey @stoic island the list you sent me should be able to play gta at good settings right ? My current PC was so old that GTA looks so horrible lol

foggy hazel
#

@verbal quarry mainboard <- component that everything else plugs into

verbal quarry
#

ah ok

cursive wharf
#

The b450 Tomahawk motherboard lacks in amount of M2/PCIe ports, sound/LAN chip, WiFi, etc compared to boards at its price point

midnight pelican
#

i just clicked the first one on the list ):

#

everything else i would reccomend is bloated in price or is out of stock rn

verbal quarry
#

@stoic island would the 1.2k list you gave me work with a different case?

cursive wharf
#

Then you gotta do more research. Just picking and recommending without a basis is bad

midnight pelican
#

@verbal quarry yes

verbal quarry
#

cool

midnight pelican
#

sorry

stoic island
#

Yes

midnight pelican
#

last time mr reccomended the tomohawk over the x570 i had picked so i assumed it was decent

What card is better the gigabyte GeForce gtx 1660 super or the msi 1660 super ?

So the Asus b450 gaming pro is good?

potent prairie
cursive wharf
#

@potent prairie The 9700F competitor is the R5 3600, not 3700x

#

So better perf on CPU side and gen4 NVMe (which isnt worth it IMO anyways)

#

Also 212 is overpriced CPU cooler

potent prairie
#

Suggestions for a cheaper one? I have nice 120mm, so I don't care if the stock fan is crappy

#

Also, 2666mhz ram vs 3200... How much of a deal is that?

potent prairie
#

Thx

potent prairie
#

Looking for rgb on the ram tho. With that Intel Mobo I'm stuck with 2666mhz or I gotta upgrade the board

hey @stoic island i was looking at you build list you gave me and i went with a tower i already own and nothing fits the case

stoic island

bro what

verbal quarry

i have a Rosewill TYRFING

Thx @cursive wharf
Probably will stick with amd. About $200 more for Intel i7 vs ryzen 5, with a Mobo that can support 3200mhz

stoic island
#

what reviews lmao

viscid plaza
#

@cerulean osprey that's a tough one. Did you try to use DDU before updating drivers? Does your power supply have enough juice? Are you running the card in a 16x slot and do you have full 16x PCIE bus potential to said slot? Is this a new card, or have you been running it for a while?

near garden
#

On Newegg it’s a 3.7 out of 5 and some people talk about the bios that it’s hard to control and then they said a ram slot was dead lol

the differences in your pcie slot dpeneds on yourmotherboard

usually the top pcie slot has the highest bandwith and speed

pls help

i just need explaination on like 2 words

Hey guys, anyone care to help me choose between 2 different monitors? Trying to decide whats best for my GPU

misty heron
#

ooh lowest response time and highest refresh rate

analog hearth
#

sorry can't help with your physics homework

stable scarab
#

that's what I've been looking for and basically have two picked out. but not sure if my GPU can handle either of them and if so, which one you guys would recommend

midnight pelican
#

what gpu u have?

misty heron
#

ewww dont get curved

#

im sorry

stable scarab
#

you aren't the first person to say that to me actually haha. I heard its personal preference and I never had a curved monitor before

misty heron
#

ewwww dont

#

are u gonna be gaming

midnight pelican
#

curved is good

misty heron
#

what???

#

my cousin has the msi one

#

lol

stable scarab
#

yes I will be. Aside from it being curved. based on the specs. The first link I sent has G-Sync and 1440p but I was told that my GPU may struggle to run 1440p. This is also a 144hz with 4ms response time

#

the second one is only 1080p and freesync. It has up to 180hz with 1ms response time

#

both 32"

#

I'm on nvidia so gsync and the 1440p sound attractive to me

#

but I also don't want to struggle to run it

#

I also like that MSI is a more well known brand

misty heron
#

get the 2nd one then

stable scarab
#

and I don't really know enough about this stuff haha

misty heron
#

me either

stable scarab
#

so I'm looking for advice/someone to say get this one because its better for you

#

:p

misty heron
#

lol idk

midnight pelican
#

you should be able to get 1440p at 60fps

#

but you can always downscale the res in settings to get higher fps

#

but you can get the 1440p now and upgrade your gpu later

proud yacht
#

My computer that I have had for the past few years recently died. All of the specs are pretty old so I was going to build a new one. Anyone got a budget build for like 500-750?

stable scarab
#

so the 1440p basically leaves me with more options and you would recommend that one?

#

and does the 4ms response time vs 1ms response time scare you away from it?

midnight pelican
#

lol i didnt even see that

#

personally i would go with the 1080p 144hz if its faster and your not planning on upgrading your gpu soon

Hey guys I got a question

#

One of my friends keeps telling me to get a motherboard with wifi and I haven’t really liked the boards with built in wifi I’m telling him I have a usb that gives wifi but he keeps telling me that most the boards without built in wifi are #### should I get one or should I stick with my mother board I have planed the Asus b450 gaming pro

sullen spoke
#

built on wifi or wifi cards are often better than usb wifi dongles

near garden
#

So would you think a wifi card would still be good ?

sullen spoke
#

either built on or pcie wifi cards are good

#

with that said pcie wifi cards are not all the same

chilly belfry
#

I just bought a usb 3.0 for wifi

#

It’s just plug and play

#

Do they work well ?

near garden
#

Yeah I have one too

sullen spoke
#

if it works well for you currently then it should be fine, but if you care about having one extra free usb port there is that to think about to

near garden
#

Yeah mine works well idk because I’ve never tried anything else I’ve only got 6 months of pc gaming

No reason for the G when you are getting a gpu

3600 for only like 20 bucks more@midnight pelican

midnight pelican

i know but i wanted to stay under 750

And I’d never buy the 3gb 1060

buoyant flame

20 bucks will go a long way there but ok if it needs to be that strict

midnight pelican

i knoe

buoyant flame

Might be a good idea to look used for a gpu

midnight pelican

im not buiding it for m e

carmine mason

You could also do the 3100 or 3300x instead. Both are cheaper.

midnight pelican

ok

lets try

ok so

They technically don’t release for another 8 days but

are you buying new?

proven berry

My Phanteks p600 came with 2 fans, though I ordered 5 extra LED fans which will be quieter (at a really good deal)...so now I have 7 fans. I have 1 in the rear + 2 mounted on top, and then 2 at the front...

#

which I'm concerned is negative air pressure and will add a lot of dust to my computer

#

is there another place for me to place an intake fan? do folks ever add a fan at the same level as the PSU?

#

i can take pics if that helps

woven wedge
#

I will be building a $500 budget build soon and wanted to know what areas are ok to go cheap on so that i can have more room budget-wise for other parts

stoic island
#

You shouldn't cheap out on anything :p

pastel briar
#

@latent storm I would check out the tier list, you already know what I have to say about PSUs so....

stoic island
#

Usually ram, storage and case you can cheap out a little on, the rest of the "cheaping out" has to be done on your main components, CPU and GPU

#

you should not cheap out too much on motherboard, and should not cheap out on PSU at all.

woven wedge
#

So is it ok to het the cheapest m.2 nvme for say the os but have a hdd for longer storage

stoic island
#

no

#

cheapest is never good

#

Team MP34 is a good inexpensive drive

#

P1 is about the lowest I'd go in terms of quality

#

P1 doesn't even have 256gb capacity so mp34 is gonna be it

woven wedge
#

ok i was looking at a crucial nvme 500 gb with the potential of extra space with an hdd. is crucial to low of quality?

stoic island
#

don't go off brand name

#

just dont

#

specific models matter

woven wedge
#

ok thanks

#

for that budget build is the Gigabyte B450M DS3H Micro ATX AM4 an ok mother board? Not looking for anything to fancy.

modern shadow
#

Yes the pro4 is also a solid option

#

@stoic island want a 500/512 gb m.2, mp34 or silicon power a80, or a better option?

stoic island

if you wanna see anything on the screen, you gotta have a GPU. now that statement is a bit misleading, most intel processors have a GPU built in except for models ending in an F like the 9900KF.

i have a question regarding multiple monitors

#

i already run a dual setup and thought of using a 10 inch or so tablet or monitor as a small 3rd monitor

#

for PC monitoring and discord etc

#

is that possible?

wary geode
#

20$ build I’ll give a dollar if u can get 240 FPS on gears of war ultra settings

silk estuary
#

Pay someone $20 to use their ultimate gaming rig for an hour and run GOW on 240 fps using their computer

#

Where's my dollar

wary geode
#

😂

#

What system could run that

#

2080 ti and 9900k?

silk estuary
#

9950 probably

#

But yeah 2080ti

wary geode
#

Lol

#

Wat about the plane simulator for Microsoft recommended is 2080 ti and 9700 I think

silk estuary
#

Wait not the 9950 I have no idea what I'm talking about

#

All i know is I'm talking about a ryzen 9

sullen spoke
#

3950x?

silk estuary
#

Yeah that

#

Where the hell did I come up with 9950

sullen spoke
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Can someone help me. My rig is about 10 month old. I have a i5 9600k with a gtx 2070 and 16 gb of DDR4 3200 ram. For the past 2 months my computer would just randomly shut off. In the beginning it would only happen once and it would only be on a couple minutes (5-10) after start up. Now it has gotten worse and turns off at least three times a day when I’m gaming on it. It shuts down without warning, first my display goes dark then everything turns off as if it was unplugged from the wall. Can some give me some advice

foggy hazel
#

prebuilt or ?

muted gate
#

I built it myself

#

Bought all the parts brand new. I also haven’t overclocked them so they are still stock

#

I also ran a Heaven Benchmark and Cinebench benchmark and everything seems to be normal for the time being

foggy hazel
#

got a part list?

@muted gate nothing aside from the PSU really stands out. So i would recommend that you take a look in the event viewer

hollow grove
#

how do you do that

lyric thistle
#

start menu search :p

muted gate
#

So I checked my event view for the exact time that it powered off. It states "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."

hollow grove
#

mine says a problem has occurred with one or more user mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated

muted gate
#

It's a bit scarry that it is doing this since I have AP testing in less then a week and I can't have it shutting off during the test 😦

half crown
#

try swapping the psu

foggy hazel
#

aye, as i said, the PSU is the only thing that stands out

muted gate
#

Okay thank you

#

What PSU would you guys recommend me getting? Right now I have a EVGA BR 700 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

#

if someone is willing to help a new pc builder out! which Graphics card ya recommended for gaming/ streaming and regular Pc usage ?
i am willing to spend at max $500 on something worth using long term

half crown
#

try the Evga Supernova G series

#

or Seasonic Focus

#

what kinda games @livid sierra

#

and what kind of monitors u playing on

livid sierra
#

@half crown nothing yet as it stand i don't own a pc atm

#

im just doing lots of browsing

#

i want it to be able to run game such as LOL, GTA, valorant minecraft etc

half crown
#

hm

livid sierra
#

i dont want a beasty pc because I don't want to use liquid coolant system

half crown
#

u plan on gaming at 1080p, 1440p or 4k?

#

and single or multi-monitor?

#

as it stands a RTX 2070 super is ur best bang for buck

#

its a bit over 500 tho

livid sierra
#

1080p and most likely a double monitor because i stream

#

ill look that up right now

half crown
#

yea an RTX 2070

#

and u dont have to water cool

#

there's aircoolers like the Noctua DH15 that work just as good

#

i had a 2070 super and it was a really good card for the money

livid sierra
#

okay so im searching up what you suggested and those prices are not bad at all i saw one for $549 unless its more expensive than that

half crown
#

2070 super is 500-600 at most

#

like Founder editions will be in the lesser 500s

#

and maybe some Zotac as well

#

its a pretty big GPU tho

livid sierra
#

funny thats the one i was just looking at

half crown
#

not all of the brands will include a bracket to help with the GPU-sag

livid sierra
#

I purchased a mid tower you think it will fit ? it is upgradable so i am able to build it the way i desire

half crown
#

which tower is it?

little leaf
#

A 2070super should be at most 550

#

But it should have some special features you want

half crown
#

yea around 550

little leaf
#

I got my 2070s for 490

half crown
#

the one i had was 580ish

little leaf
#

Which one

half crown
#

Aorus

little leaf
#

Either you overpaird or

#

Ohok

half crown
#

#

livid sierra
#

CORSAIR Carbide Series 175R RGB Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX Gaming Case,

#

had to copy and paste lol

little leaf
#

@livid sierra

foggy hazel
#

@livid sierra it should fit just fine

livid sierra
#

@little leaf huh

foggy hazel
little leaf
#

I cant find the exact lenght but look that its an atx case should fit it easily

#

Ah naed got them

foggy hazel
#

thats the max length for a GPU in your case @livid sierra

livid sierra
#

Dimensions & Weight
Max GPU Length Allowance
330 mm
Max CPU Cooler Height Allowance
160 mm
Dimensions (H x W x D)
17.72" x 8.27" x 16.46"

#

thats it

foggy hazel
#

so, then it just a case of you NOT selecting a GPU model that is longer than that

half crown
#

yea you'll be fine

#

most of the 2070 cards are about 290mm

foggy hazel
#

most GPU's are less than 300mm

livid sierra
#
