.....So you purl2together, then yarn over, and slip the next stitch.... I am so confused.

sudden turret
#

show us what you see when you pull up disk part

tight sorrel
#

I'm on the laptop, so I cannot screenshot the PC.

signal drift
#

when you click on top it will promt new drive

#

prompt

sudden turret
#

you got a cellphone?

tight sorrel
#

Yes, but last time I tried to share photos on here, the bot was peeved.

sudden turret
#

I gave you reg role, you should be able to post pictures.

signal drift
#

type in search bar disc managment

#

pic he posted will show up

sudden turret
#

I will tell bot to behave.

tight sorrel
#

Gimme a sec then, this laptop is not the best (literally splitting at the seams)

sudden turret
#

discord mobile is a thing 🙂

signal drift
tight sorrel
#

That requires me to remember my password

signal drift
#

that will pop up but you will have a notification saying new drive what you want to assign and format as

sudden turret
#

maybe... usually it's a black bar of 'unallocated'

#

then from there they make new simple vol

#

assign drive letter.

signal drift
#

yea if not you can scroll to black one

tight sorrel
#

There's a blue with recovery, and (C:)

#

then the black one is the one I'm talking about

sudden turret
#

c: is the tiny one

#

yea

tight sorrel
#

Yes

sudden turret
#

black bar - big drive

tight sorrel
#

Yesss

sudden turret
#

we need to create a drive partition 🙂

#

right click black bar - Create simple volume

tight sorrel
#

Ok

sudden turret
#

default all the things, drive letter of your choice

#

I usually go G:

#

G for Games.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

if all goes well, you should see your new G: drive in windows explorer.

tight sorrel
#

And I can just install everything there now?

signal drift
#

well you have to choose to but yes

tight sorrel
#

Awesome! Thank you!

signal drift
#

when installing like steam just make primary drive

sudden turret
#

\o/

#

are all the confusinglyness gone now?

tight sorrel
#

I'll be transferring for days, but yessssss thank you so very much!

sudden turret
#

yay

tight sorrel
#

You guys are awesome! I'll walk hubby through his build

sudden turret
#

aside from all that, I don;t remember helping you before.

#

are you the one I help pick out build pieces?

#

for hubby/wife duo?

sullen spoke
sudden turret
#

my memory sucks so bad 😭

tight sorrel
#

Yup!

sudden turret
#

oh nice, how was building them?

signal storm
#

I don't even have a good system

sudden turret
#

need pictures!

signal storm
#

dual core cpu bro

tight sorrel
#

Motherboard literally didn't get here until yesterday

sudden turret
#

yeah shipping be silly right now

sullen spoke
#

I still got a pc with 2 core cpu, it has some uses

tight sorrel
#

Easy! Mostly because I kept telling hubby to leave me alone 😂

sudden turret
#

haha

signal storm
#

I use this laptop to play League bro

sudden turret
#

I mean, you could -not- have a laptop

tight sorrel
#

I'll post pictures in a bit 😊

sudden turret
#

so be thankful for that?

signal storm
#

Integrated graphics👍

sullen spoke
#

i know people that play league on chromebooks 🙂

tight sorrel
#

Yeah.... P0p poop ppp

#

Gahhhh

sudden turret
#

lol

signal storm
#

I think even those chrome books have better cpu

sullen spoke
#

2 core 1.1ghz?

tight sorrel
sudden turret
#

@sullen spoke boxJr has found the screaming shark YT videos...

sullen spoke
#

actually tho one of my friends broke his laptop recently peepoSadSip

signal storm
#

rip

tight sorrel
#

I bought my laptop for gaming in 2014, but yeah, opening and closing the screen gives me a complex

sullen spoke
#

I try to help him troubleshoot but there isn't much to work with

sudden turret
#

so now he likes to mimick the scream 😠

sullen spoke
#

oh god

signal storm
#

I have an i5 7200U

#

2.50GHz

sudden turret
#

that's decent...

#

lol

sullen spoke
#

sounds like me, my sister yelled at me because she couldn't sleep while i was doing an anime girl impression for my friends xD

signal storm
#

?

sudden turret
#

weirdo

sullen spoke
#

it was worth

#

@signal storm is that guy in your pfp from the league ads?

signal storm
#

nah

#

this is a picture I got from a gif

sullen spoke
#

ahh

#

kinda looks like it tho

signal drift
#

i like using newegg n all, but they really need to get rid of all the other sellers that are not actually newegg, they turning into walmart w/ all the extra non store sellers

#

most out of stock in new egg show up w/ other sellers jacking prices up

sudden turret
#

you can search strictly newegg seller..

#

and avoid all of that.

signal drift
#

yea but why if they only had actual newegg

sullen spoke
#

and isn't that what like everyone else does, walmart, amazon, etc.

signal drift
#

i dont go to a place to see other peoples sales

sudden turret
#

cause it's a business?

#

rofl

signal drift
#

new egg is its own but have 3rd party so they get a cut maybe?

#

its annoying

sudden turret
#

b u s i n e s s

signal drift
#

shouldnt have to take extra steps to search

sudden turret
#

it's one click.

signal drift
#

thats whats nice about microcenter.. bam its what it is

sullen spoke
#

shop aliexpress KermitVader

sudden turret
#

one click.

signal drift
#

yea but you gotta scroll all the way down, extra steps

#

its stupid

sudden turret
#

this was directly at the top..

signal drift
#

i dont go to new egg to see other people products

sudden turret
#

You're griping over non sense.

signal drift
#

it maybe a click but its not what you go to the site for other peoples products

#

dont you understand that logic

#

dont defend other sellers

#

if i go to newegg i want something from actual new egg, best buy is best buy

sullen spoke
#

i mean you could argue the same thing with amazon, except amazon is worse about it

sudden turret
#

ok.

signal drift
#

yea amazon is, walmart, newegg they all doing the other seller crap

sullen spoke
#

newegg is not a retail store like b&h, best buy, etc.

sudden turret
#

because they want to make money?

#

rofl

signal drift
#

not retail but they have their own warehouse

#

obviously making money dropship blah blah

#

ill stick to microcenter its 15min away

sudden turret
#

cool

#

have fun.

sullen spoke
#

convenient for you, but some people have to drive 3+hrs to one

sudden turret
#

but that is there fault

#

they should've lived closer.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

signal drift
#

yes but since tigerdirect went downhill they thrived

#

but its better that way if they have too many it over stretches and then they are losing money

#

i was willing to drive out of state to get a monitor not in stock at local 2 stores but then it was sold out fast so didnt matter

warm nova
#

at the top of every search is in option to only pick newegg as the seller

#

once you get your results you will see that. click newegg and only items sold and shipped by newegg will be displayed

#

@signal drift

signal drift
#

still thats not my point... ugh

#

i go to newegg to buy newegg not others.. shouldnt have to select anything..

stoic island
#

Well, I go to Newegg to buy Noctua things, that's sold by and shipped by and manufactured by Noctua.

warm nova
#

newegg is a business. Having 3rd party sellers brings in more income, therefore more profit. Companies are made to make money.
If checking a box to limit the resellers to only newegg is too much effort then I don't know what to say.

#

Its a simpler process than amazon has.

livid sierra
#

Newegg is beast I got my 99% Of my pc parts from them

#

Can’t wait until everything is delivered

#

1st pc ever I’m super stoked to see what it’ll be like when done

sudden turret
#

oh nice

buoyant flame
#

What was the 1% tho thonkingCC

livid sierra
#

The motherboard it was sold out for to long so I got it from bestbuy

How good is this build? Just wondering: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max Mobo, GTX 1660 Super, AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Quad Core processor, 16gb Ram (2 x 8gb), 512gb SSD, 1TB Hard Drive, and a 27" 1080p 144Hz monitor. Asking so I know just how good my soon to be first pc will be

stoic island
#

Well 27in 1080p is not ideal

#

it doesn't look great

#

And a 3300x, if you can wait for preorders, would be quite a bit better

sudden turret
#

depends on who is looking at it

#

27in 1080p is fine for me

next kestrel
#

bro 32 in 1080p is fine for me

sudden turret
#

I wouldn't go -that- far with 1080p

next kestrel
#

🙂

sudden turret
#

I think 27 would be max

next kestrel
#

everyone has their own max

stoic island
#

32in ultrawide 1080p is fine

#

1080p 24in is 91.7 PPI

#

32in ultrawide 1080p is 86.7 PPI

#

1080p 27in is 81.59 PPI

#

soooo

#

yea

sudden turret
#

27in curved 1080p

coral prairie
#

Hey

#

Can someone help me with my sound

crystal crow
#

Well my budget isnt that high for this pc so I cant go over the top

#

But thank you ill look into it

sullen spoke
#

i don't have a whole lot of time but what's wrong with your sound @coral prairie

coral prairie
#

It won’t work

#

Like at all

sullen spoke
#

what speakers/headphones are you using and how are they connected

wicked acorn
#

Hello everyone, what do you guys think of this build?
Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-Thread (4.2 GHz Max Boost)
CM ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
GPU ASUS ROG STRIX GAMING GTX 1660 SUPER 6G OC
RAM DDR4 16G 3200MHz 8Gx2
SSD 240G

Mainly, for gaming.

sudden turret
#

change it to 3600mhz ram

modern shadow
#

probably 500gb will be better

#

how much is the 240gb ?

#

@wicked acorn

eager flower
#

Never gonna give you up

#

Never gonna let you down

sudden turret
#

re do thermal paste for sure

silk estuary
#

@shrewd ore yeh, it's the h510 elite

eager flower
#

Never gonna let you down and desert you

sudden turret
#

I wouldn't recommend turning it on until you get new paste either way

eager flower
#

That is not possible it’s doing this for a couple of months

#

So a few days won’t change it

#

Will my laptop perform better once I change it

sudden turret
#

anything performs well when properly cooled.

#

did the fan burn up and stop spinning?

eager flower
#

Don’t believe so I don’t know how to test it though

sudden turret
#

with it being 100c, that would would be going 100% full tilt

#

it's not auto shutdown?

#

cause 100c is crazy.

#

212F

eager flower
#

No idea auto shut down is 100C but it really only gets to 95 lol which is still hot but not auto shut down

next kestrel
#

check if the fans work

eager flower
#

How would I check

#

I’m new with laptops

next kestrel
#

turn it on and see if your fans spin

#

either with sound or with it open

eager flower
#

I can hear them they sound like a jet engine usually

#

And there was dust and whatnot so I blew condensed air and cleared it up

#

It should help but obviously I need more thermal paste, I was going to buy x-4 but how do I remove it

next kestrel
#

just scrape it off with toilet paper

eager flower
#

Oh ok that’s it lol? No need to buy another tool?

next kestrel
#

nope

#

or paper towel

#

also dont put too much

eager flower
#

I know just a tiny dot

sudden turret
#

whatever paste is on there is pretty much cooked.

next kestrel
#

if u need general estimate watch a video

sudden turret
#

what laptop model is this?

#

even 95c is just a bit much even for laptop

eager flower
#

I got it I’m just not that informed with laptops, and it’s a msi leopard print

#

Pro

#

Lemme check exact model

sudden turret
#

but I would guess the fan died

eager flower
#

I’m not sure if it did that’s the thing

next kestrel
#

i mean he hears it

sudden turret
#

of if you dropped it, and broke the bond of the heatsink

#

or*

eager flower
#

I have never dropped my laptop

sudden turret
#

and you using it for that long at at that temp is nothing but amazing.

#

unless it's a false reading

eager flower
#

Btw is there thermal paste on the gpu too I have no@idea how the gpus in laptops work

#

It is not false reading it burns me

sudden turret
#

I'd be trying to RMA that thing, something ain't right.

eager flower
#

RMA?

sudden turret
#

return merchandise auth

#

returning it for a new one basically

eager flower
#

It’s well over warranty

sudden turret
#

ah

eager flower
#

And the factory seal had to be broken anyways

#

Well it’s been around two years

wicked acorn
#

@modern shadow I actually don't know exactly but it's around 40$

eager flower
#

But it only had a one year I think

unreal aurora
#

Guys sorry for the strange question (even for the english, i'm italian). What is the best way to afford a pc if you have no money. I mean which is the best method to pay less a pc.

sullen spoke
#

Buy on used market if possible

#

Building is also cheaper than prebuilt

next kestrel
#

w a i t

#

for corona to be over

#

but if you have a VERY small budget, u might wanna look around in used tech shops or just used shops in general

#

like goodwill in america

#

and just add some parts

stoic island
#

Microcenter in the US, and other local stores.

crystal crow
#

So I have a question about a processor. The 3300x. Do we know when it comes out? Trying to get my pc built before July

#

I tried to do my own research but couldnt find anyrhing

stoic island
#

~jun 8

crystal crow
#

Oh cool thanks

next kestrel
#

backordered?

stoic island
#

preorder

next kestrel
#

ah

modern shadow
stoic island
#

bro

#

@modern shadow wrong ssd

#

a80 is good

#

a60 is dramless

#

hmb but still dramless

modern shadow
#

oh oops

#

wrong link

unreal aurora
#

Ok thanks. Now i'm playing on a mac i use for university with bootcamp xd.

crystal crow
#

Its showed as out of stock for now but is shown as $120 so id rather just go with that price

modern shadow
#

smh

stoic island
#

not exactly out of stock

next kestrel
#

nah he was talking abt the Newegg2 link

stoic island
#

ah

next kestrel
#

200 dollars lmao

#

more expensive than 3600

eager flower
#

Ok I got my MSI dragon center up

#

And just while idle my GPU is 41 and CPU 45-60

#

All CElcius

stoic island
#

You should never use the imperial system with PCs :p

#

Celcius ftw

eager flower
#

Yeah I use imperial for everything except PCs

#

Fans definitely work both are at 6k RPMS

#

I launched a game now and let’s see if it heats up too much

#

the fans fluctuate to 5925 to 6075 so that should be normal

#

Power plan is high performance

#

What’s a good GPU core@clock and memory clock speed

crystal crow
#

oh it was just out of stock for me

#

could also be an area problem

#

Cant put a picture but its still out of stock for me

grizzled fossil
#

If anyone is around, give me a recommendation for a build around $2,000CAD (~$1,400USD)

stoic island
#

buying now or later

grizzled fossil
#

Whenever is best tbh. I was debating waiting to see the new 4000 series from AMD

stoic island
#

If you can wait, wait.

grizzled fossil
#

I just got my checks from the government so I decided to use one for a PC

#

How long do you think I should wait?

stoic island
#

Until 4th gen comes out

#

that should be the same time Nvidia releases their 3000 series

grizzled fossil
#

and you think I should buy all new or buy a generation old?

stoic island
#

New

grizzled fossil
#

Yeah, I guess I might as well wait until Christmas then

#

Boxing day and Black Friday sales were hella good last year

stoic island
#

They always will on black friday

grizzled fossil
#

thanks random internet person

#

tru

stoic island
#

My suggestion is just to wait.

#

Corona making prices high, and things out of stock

@covert crypt any reason in not getting a basic laptop and good desktop?

unkempt ibex
#

hi guys

thick gorge
#

Should I get a 1660 super or a 2060? I'm trying to get 144fps on 1080p med to high settings.

neon veldt
#

@thick gorge personally I would get a 2060 super that way it more future proof and meets your requirements

unkempt ibex
#

can someone help me with parts lmao

#

i already have a rtx 2080 i7 8700 and the storage

neon veldt
#

@unkempt ibex are you using pc parts picker

unkempt ibex
#

yes

neon veldt
#

what do you need help with

unkempt ibex
#

i need help with parts

neon veldt
#

yeah but what exactly

unkempt ibex
#

The PSU, Cpu cooler, ram,motherboard,case

neon veldt
#

do you already have a system or is this your first build?

unkempt ibex
#

i have a prebuilt rn and want to part out to build

neon veldt
#

forsure personally I would wait later in the year cause prices will drop since there will be a new generation of AMD CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs

unkempt ibex
#

well i already have cpu and gpu that i want to use

neon veldt
#

what are they

unkempt ibex
#

rtx 2080 and i7 8700

neon veldt
#

check the psu in the system if its 750 watts then your good with that if not I would recommend upgrading it so that your future proof and have space to upgrade parts later down the line

unkempt ibex
#

its 500 haha

neon veldt
#

yeah that should definitely be upgraded

#

at least to a 750W tbh

unkempt ibex
#

haha ok

#

i really just need help with mother board and liquid cooler

cursive wharf
#

lol no

#

500w is fine

buoyant flame
#

Ya lol

cursive wharf
#

quality > wattage

unkempt ibex
#

thats what i have but im probaly only using the cpu and gpu and maybe the psu

buoyant flame
#

I wouldn't recommend carrying that psu over

neon veldt
#

I still think the 750W would be better for down the line and to have space to upgrade

unkempt ibex
#

oh

#

yeah true

zealous epoch
#

prices are crazy, my MOBO has gone from $79 to $159. X.X

cursive wharf
#

you do realize that a 3950x+2080Ti can run off a 550w right?

neon veldt
#

how?

#

yeah but i just tend to go a little extra for psu just my thing

unkempt ibex
#

alr so can you guys tell me which motherboard and liquid cooler to get

cursive wharf
#

and I tend to consider quality more then wattage

#

because you rarely have to worry about wattage

little osprey
#

Or you could just, consider both.

unkempt ibex
#

alr so can you guys tell me which motherboard and liquid cooler to get

cursive wharf
#

liquid coolers are overrated. noise normalized perf is rarely better then air coolers

little osprey
#

That's a very broad question to ask twice.

neon veldt
#

i would go with an air cooler

cursive wharf
#

while also being more expensive

little osprey
#

I've been running air for years with no issues.

neon veldt
#

same

little osprey
#

Current system is a full GHz over on Air.

midnight pelican
#

ok but liquid coolers r clean

cursive wharf
#

so are air coolers?

midnight pelican
#

i guess its just preference

little osprey
#

Only as clean as the air going over the fans.

midnight pelican
#

lmao

unkempt ibex
#

i like liquid haha

cursive wharf
#

you have other things to buy before worrying about looks

unkempt ibex
#

alr

midnight pelican
#

ym

#

nope

unkempt ibex
#

i just dont know really what

midnight pelican
#

i will custom loop a 3600 becuase loop look cool

cursive wharf
#

You can do that. But before spending $260 on a custom loop I'd make sure the rest of the system is fully good

modern shadow
#

Any good rgb strips?

neon veldt
#

you have a budget for the motherboard anything you want to stay under

unkempt ibex
#

ok so i have a budget of around 500 ish i need a psu(maybe) case,ram,motherboard, and a cpu cooler

vestal cove
#

Beuh

west stratus
#

can someone send me a $500 pc part list that can run rust gta r6 warzone apex legends dead by daylight

vestal cove
#

If my pc dosent have a gpu or gpu dosent work…it won’t turn on?

#

Nvm

unkempt ibex
#

@cursive wharf

#

Besides the psu is that good for around 500?

cursive wharf
#

why are you getting a new mobo and CPU cooler?

unkempt ibex
#

this was from someone in here made awhile ago

#

my motherboard is weird....

#

omens motherboards are trash

cursive wharf
#

They are meh. But it's a waste of money to get a new board when you can get a new GPU or smth

little osprey
#

Sometimes, someone just wants to do something.

unkempt ibex
#

im just gunna sell it, it sells for 240 lmao

neon veldt
#

he already has a 2070

unkempt ibex
#

2080

cursive wharf
#

people may list it for 240, but does it sell for 240?

unkempt ibex
#

yeah

little osprey
#

I saw mine go for $200 recently. Not sure why, but it did. People are nuts right now.

unkempt ibex
#

wait nvm not anymore

you cant even go into the bios with this mobi

ruby quiver
#

So I have been having this problem for a while but my power supply doesn't accept my GPU. (Backstory: My PSU is a cooler master 650W power supply, the thing is it didn't come with a PCIE cable) I bought a pcie cable for it but it didn't work, why is that?

safe field
#

@ruby quiver if a 650W Cooler Master PSU isn't coming wth a PCIe power cable, either you're hallucinating and the cable is buried deep in some corner of your room or that entire unit is a bust and needs to be returned/RMA'd.

#

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to provide the exact model number

ruby quiver
#

well it was a prebuilt and I upgraded it a long time ago

#

the reason why there is no wire is because my previous graphics card (750) didn't need one

#

shoot I can't send the link

balmy canopy
#

Peep

ruby quiver
#

alright welll.. welcome to the problem solvers

#

except no one is helping my case

#

... which is fine because I am getting a new power supply anyway

#

it would be nice to get it working though

mortal rampart
#

how the build lookin

#

instead of that msi board i got the asrock steel legend atx

signal drift
#

3600 doesnt need a custom loop...

mortal rampart
#

and the psu i actually have is a 650

signal drift
#

youd be better off w/ a good aio like alphacool rgb ones w/ copper radiator, and a hybrid gpu

@mortal rampart while this might not be the ideal place to show a build off, it still is fine, as this IS build chat, and we can chat about it here so.... 😉

#

@tough turret looking good by the way, nice and subdued 🙂

wary tundra
#

that pc is a chonker

mortal rampart
#

thx @pastel briar

pastel briar
#

@mortal rampart your welcome 🙂

drifting lake
#

anyone got a custom build ready 800 limit for my sister

potent prairie
#

Hold on, I got one

#

I just picked a random case, might want to opt for less ram or something if you want something fancier

normal brook
#

Night you could go with a 3300X and get a 5700 instead of the 1660 super

potent prairie
#

Could do that
But I'm not educated on the amd graphics dept, so i stick with the lineup I know

normal brook
#

You could get a 2060 super.

#

5700 > 2060 super though.

potent prairie
#

Yh, but I'd personally opt for a better CPU rather than gpu off the bat
B/c upgrading CPU often requires mobo.upgrade too. But fair point

normal brook
#

I think it's quite opposite. The most expensive part is the most expensive to upgrade.

#

The AM4 platform has a 16 core CPU..

#

I think it will be relevant for awhile.

#

Especially if you bought into the platform on a 4 core CPU.

stoic island
#

@normal brook single eggie review on that GPU...

normal brook
#

Ik :/

stoic island
#

Also mp34

normal brook
#

Very low reviews though.

#

Only 1-2?

stoic island
#

Still good to keep in mind

#

AMD cards can have a lot of issues

#

Like MSI mech OC with the temps

normal brook
#

Those don't exist right now.

#

Lol.

stoic island
#

Nvidia cards usually don't produce enough heat for any of their cards to have issues and noticable differences

#

But AMD cards you'll have to look into each card

west stratus
#

oh yeah nvm I'll come back after corona @normal brook

normal brook
#

😛

stoic island
#

It's possible but you won't get too much out of it

#

Today's prices might even force you into iGPU :p

little osprey
#

Bought my parts today

stoic island
#

Neat

normal brook
#

What parts you get?

little osprey
#

Wanted the 2060, but was sold out so went with a 570

normal brook
#

Is it a gaming pc?

little osprey
#

Yes

#

Low budget pc

normal brook
#

You've spent more on your cpu than your gpu.

little osprey
#

Yeah....

#

I saw that too

normal brook
#

If you're prioritizing gaming for your build, you should have prioritized the cash you spent on it.

bold locust
#

$10 more gets you a h500 but thats just me

little osprey
#

I'm just trying to run atmost destiny 2

normal brook
#

Yeah.

#

It will game. But you could have done a lot better.

little osprey
#

Ik

normal brook
#

Not trying to be rude.

#

Just saying.

little osprey
#

No no, I understand

#

It's just my laptop rn is starting to slow down, and it has a 620 UHD

#

So rn truthfully I'd take anything

normal brook
#

You can play destiny 2 on Geforce Now.

#

😉

little osprey
#

But I wasn't going to spend $300 on a GPU

normal brook
#

Why?

#

You bought 32GB of RAM.

little osprey
#

Limited budget, I'm getting paid thru unemployment

#

For like $60

#

It was cheaper on amazon

normal brook
#

You could have saved $50 on both your RAM and CPU then spent that on a $300 GPU.

brittle spindle
#

Thonks

little osprey
#

Well I can always upgrade GPU when the prices go down

normal brook
#

After Amphere.

little osprey
#

After the lockdown is over

normal brook
#

That's true.

little osprey
#

Also, I tried getting GeForce Now, wouldn't download

normal brook
#

It's the only benefit to your build.

#

Your GPU is cheap. Replacing it wont hurt much.

little osprey
#

Again, going from an i3/620uhd/16gb 2133 ram to this

normal brook
#

Did you ask anyone in here for help?

little osprey
#

Multiple times

normal brook
#

Ahh damn. I wish I was here for that.

#

The motherboard is also way overkill.

brittle spindle
#

Help for?

normal brook
#

You could have saved a bunch there too.

little osprey
#

Is it?

normal brook
#

It does have WiFi though.

#

That's always a plus.

brittle spindle
#

Yeah you got a X570 Plus for a 3600

#

But still

little osprey
#

I couldn't fine a 470(or whatever it is) with built in wifi

brittle spindle
#

The B450 Tonohawk is good enough

little osprey
#

That also had a m2 slot

normal brook
#

TBH, built in WiFI doesn't make much sense to me.

#

WiFi cards are like $30.

brittle spindle
#

You dont really need wifi if you have another laptop/computer to install windows on. Also, you can always buy a wifi adaptor for like 13 bucks

bold locust
#

markets bad now but ebays not terrible either

little osprey
#

I'm just transfering hard drives also

#

So I already have windows

normal brook
#

Salvecai, I want you to be really happy with your build. It's very fun to build computers.

little osprey
#

I've been planning this for the past year

normal brook
#

Please don't take what I said and allow it to take away from your happiness when building your PC.

little osprey
#

@brittle spindle I play a lot of online games though

normal brook
#

Windows is $5 on ebay.

#

I've yet to have a key get revoked.

little osprey
#

Lol

bold locust
#

same

brittle spindle
#

Yeah Wifi Adaptor

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

I already have like 3 drives with windows on it

normal brook
#

Do I trust them? No. Do they work? Yes.

#

Salvecai, when did you buy your parts?

#

Today?

little osprey
#

I have a 2 tb Seagate firecuda sshd, 1tb Samsung 970 Evo plus nvme, 1 tb wd blue hdd. And yes today

#

All those drives have windows already

normal brook
#

How much did you buy everything for?

little osprey
#

All together? $700/800ish

normal brook
#

You can't just plop an old Windows install into a new computer.

little osprey
#

I did that with my moms

normal brook
#

No itemized.

#

sigh.

little osprey
#

Cloned windows os onto her HDD and popped it in

normal brook
#

Was it cloned then Generalized?

brittle spindle
#

I just built my pc 3 days ago and I need to buy Windows 10 Pro when I get home from vacation

little osprey
#

Idk

#

I just cloned it

normal brook
#

@brittle spindle ebay man. $5

brittle spindle
#

Nah Ima use UrCDKey

normal brook
#

Don't buy it until you're ready to use it though.

brittle spindle
#

Bruh I need the full version I already have everythibg insalled

normal brook
#

It's $20 on there.

#

It's $5 on ebay.

brittle spindle
#

Well its $12

#

And also I trust that website mote

#

More

normal brook
#

They send you a key via email almost instantly.

little osprey
#

But yeah, this build should do me solid until either lockdown ends I have more money or until after college

normal brook
#

Why does it matter if it's $5?

bold locust
#

its all the same slui 4 and call the automated thing doesnt really matter where from

normal brook
#

You're not out much if the deal goes bad.

#

xD

little osprey
#

The heaviest game GPU wise that I'll play is warframe, Destiny 2, or ark survival

brittle spindle
#

Because idrc. and I trust that website

#

My build is in the build pics

#

2070 Super and 3900x

little osprey
#

Nice

brittle spindle
#

h100i Platinum SE

#

Ikr

#

Ik CPU is overkill dont say anything about it

normal brook
#

I don't understand why everyone over buys on CPU and underbuys on GPU when they're building gaming computers.

#

o_o

#

Lol.

#

Sorry.

little osprey
#

Also, I might not even be playing at 1080p

normal brook
#

How will you find a monitor smaller than 1080p rn?

little osprey
#

Tv

brittle spindle
#

One thing is because I didnt feel like spending another $500 on a 2080ti

bold locust
#

4:3

normal brook
#

Woah.

little osprey
#

It's a 55" 3d tv

normal brook
#

Salvecai, where do you live?

little osprey
#

Texas

#

Either that, it I'm using a 75" projector tv

normal brook
#

Figment, 2080 TI is garbage imo. 2080 Super is too close to make the extra money worth it.

little osprey
#

That gets 1080p

bold locust
#

@brittle spindle do you use rtx?

brittle spindle
#

Yeah

bold locust
#

for what

#

out of curiosity

brittle spindle
#

Oh my bad

normal brook
#

Blender >:)

brittle spindle
#

No no what games can I use them on? Ik Minecraft

normal brook
#

The new laura croft game.

#

W/e it's called.

little osprey
#

I also don't have room for a monitor, kinda why I'm using a tv

#

Saves me money and space

normal brook
#

How big is your TV?

little osprey
#

Especially since for college I'll be in a dorm

#

Bedroom is 55"

#

Living room is 75"

bold locust
#

@brittle spindle cause like you coulda gotten a 1080ti or something instead

brittle spindle
#

I want to get a new monitor for Christmas because I dont really need a monitor atm. I got a 75hz 1080p one rn

normal brook
#

Is it old?

little osprey
#

A little old

normal brook
#

I've never seen a 55" 720p tv.

bold locust
#

plasma

little osprey
#

It's 3d

#

Wall mount

normal brook
#

That's kinda cool I suppose.

little osprey
#

The 75" is a projector tv

#

That probably gets 1080

normal brook
#

When I lived in Thailand they had 3d tv's in their movie theaters above the consessions.

little osprey
#

But most of the time it'll be in the bedroom

#

I have my PS4 set at 720, 1080 everything is way off

bold locust
#

i woulda gotten a monitor for like 100 on amzon and saved some on the cpu

normal brook
#

I woulda saved on CPU, RAM, and Mobo, and dumped my cash into my GPU.

little osprey
#

Plazey, if you want I can send you a pic of the tv

normal brook
#

Yeah, I wouldn't mind.

#

Kinda interesting.

bold locust
#

im interested to see it

normal brook
#

The 3d one right?

little osprey
#

I'll post it to build pics

#

And yes 3d

normal brook
#

Is it one of those early ones where you have to wear the glasses?

brittle spindle
#

In my opinion, high quality monitors aren't worth it unless you have a good enough pc

little osprey
#

Glasses are optional, only needed if actually using 3d movies

bold locust
#

i got two 32inch 165hz 😤

normal brook
#

That's my opinion too.

west stratus
#

should i get a 3100 rx 570 that's all i can really afford then upgrade as soon as possible and sell them for extra money I'm kinda desperate to get into pc gaming

normal brook
#

A lot of people want 144Hz monitors, and spend $300 on a nice monitor, but then skimp out on their build.

#

And the GPU can't even put out the 144Hz.

#

XD

bold locust
#

i can hold 165 in 1440p so i think im ok

normal brook
#

@west stratus What's your budget?

west stratus
#

@normal brook $520

brittle spindle
#

Oof

west stratus
#

@brittle spindle ik

normal brook
#

@west stratus Really difficult to say.

#

Markets terrible rn.

little osprey
#

Question, I got the ryzen 5 3600, that comes with thermal paste and a cou fan right?

normal brook
#

Do you have an old PC you could slap a GPU into?

#

Yes it does.

#

It's pre applied to the cooler.

little osprey
#

Ok

#

Thanks

bold locust
#

@west stratus wait if you can or scavenge ebay for deals thats what id do

#

market is way too high

normal brook
#

Yeah. Waiting is the best option rn.

little osprey
#

I would not recommend getting hard ware from ebay

west stratus
#

yeah I'll just wait

bold locust
#

ive had a 1080ti for over 2 years...

west stratus
#

rather wait then possibly get scammed

bold locust
#

from ebay...

normal brook
#

Karen Walker, is that a real image of you?

west stratus
#

no💀@normal brook

normal brook
#

xD

#

Sorry, just had to ask.

west stratus
#

it's a joke account

normal brook
#

Super professional pic.

#

It seems like one.

little osprey
#

Lol

normal brook
#

Is that a reference to a new TV show or something?

#

The whole Karen thing?

bold locust
#

@little osprey oh and my monitors are ebay too soooo....

little osprey
#

What's cool is when I can bring in my metallic/rgb Korean keyboard and my 20 programmable button mouse in

west stratus
#

tbh I don't even know how the joke started @normal brook

little osprey
#

@bold locust I don't particularly trust eBay so ....

normal brook
#

I don't either.

bold locust
#

lol

west stratus
#

ig it started from middle aged women trying to talk to people's managers

normal brook
#

Everything I've gotten off of Ebay has been scratched if it's new, or junk.

little osprey
#

Oh and by Korean, I mean it as in the manual is in Korean

bold locust
#

i got a couple custom keyboards too if youre into that

#

not ebay this time

little osprey
#

Got it for $15, and it's AMAZING

normal brook
#

I want a 4k monitor.

little osprey
#

Lol

normal brook
#

I can scale down to 1080p to play games.

bold locust
#

1440p is enough for me before it becomes too real

#

joking

still roostBOT
#
Plazey#0144 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little osprey
#

Meh, I'm used to 720, so everytime I see something more then that it HURTS

normal brook
#

Whoops. I forgot about that.

#

:/

#

That's strike 2 for me.

bold locust
#

i play 1440p 165hz and i wouldnt go back

normal brook
#

I don't like 1440p.

#

It's a weird in between resolution.

bold locust
#

so? lol

normal brook
#

I just would rather have 1080p I guess.

bold locust
#

i would at 240hz

normal brook
#

Not dogging on you.

little osprey
#

Eventually I'll get a monitor(maybe)

normal brook
#

Just stating my opinion as well.

bold locust
#

understood

#

no offense taken

normal brook
#

Some lady was selling an older asus monitor for $30 the other day.

#

I was barely too late.

#

T_T

little osprey
#

I just like laying on my back in bed when gaming, can't really do that with a monitor

normal brook
#

Nor can you do that when you're gaming...

bold locust
#

with 32 inches you can do anything from a distance lol

little osprey
#

My old work place used old Asus monitors

#

It was an oil change shop

normal brook
#

Do you guys think there will be any good sales on newegg for memorial day?

little osprey
#

I swear they were also using windows XP

bold locust
#

nah

little osprey
#

Probably not

bold locust
#

did you see z490 pricing lol!

little osprey
#

Not with almost anything worth it sold out

normal brook
#

Yeah. xD

bold locust
#

and it all sold anyway

normal brook
#

But I think they're saving stock.

#

For sales.

little osprey
#

Ya know, I almost waited till 10th gens rolled out to get a i3-10th gen for $150

bold locust
#

i really wanted the o11 dynamic special edition but it sold out before i got to it

#

pcmr edition

normal brook
#

Why?

little osprey
#

If I remember right the i3-10 is comparable to the 5 3600

normal brook
#

intel CPU's aren't very good rn.

little osprey
#

Believe me ik

#

But comparable to the one I just bought for $150?

normal brook
#

They're stuck on 14nm.

little osprey
#

I'm running Intel rn

normal brook
#

You should have gotten the 3300x man.

little osprey
#

I hate it

#

Why? The 3300x?

normal brook
#

Put more money into your GPU.

little osprey
#

Ahhh

#

But then I'd have to upgrade both

#

The 3600 should do me good for a while

#

A few years atleast

normal brook
#

You wouldn't have to upgrade either.

#

They'll both last you awhile.

little osprey
#

🤷‍♂️

normal brook
#

Right now you're sitting on a really low end GPU.

#

And a decent CPU.

#

That's not how building a gaming PC works. 😛

little osprey
#

Sold out on amazon

#

Oh well

bold locust
#

everything good is sold out lol

little osprey
#

The 570 is really low end?

normal brook
#

Now it is, yeah.

little osprey
#

It looked decent

bold locust
#

i used a 5700xt for a bit and i wanted to puke

little osprey
#

Huh

#

That's funny

#

Everyone recommended the 5700xt when they saw I was running AMD

#

It was 5700xt if I'm not streaming or 2060 if I am

normal brook
#

5700XT is definietly not low end.

little leaf
#

Pretty much

normal brook
#

You said 570.

little osprey
#

But as both of those are sold out....

#

I went 570

little leaf
#

No

#

No

#

No

#

Why

bold locust
#

not low end it just sucked compared to my "old" 1080ti

little osprey
#

Even a 1660 was too high priced for me rn

normal brook
#

Squid, I already gave him hell for it.

#

xD

little leaf
#

What was your budget

normal brook
#

$800

little leaf
#

Why

#

Why

little osprey
#

And I spent over that

normal brook
#

There's a 5700 rn for $299

#

T_T

little leaf
#

Nonono

little osprey
#

And $800 because the only income I have is unemployment pay

normal brook
#

It's too late man.

little leaf
#

Aw man

normal brook
#

He bought all of his parts already.

little leaf
#

I couldve gotten you a better pc

#

For the money

normal brook
#

Yeah.

west stratus
#

can't you cancel the order

little osprey
#

I could return it for being "damaged"

bold locust
#

return labels exist

little leaf
#

Big sad

normal brook
#

He bought parts, he's building a PC.

little osprey
#

Break a fan blade, return as damaged

#

I did similar before(accidentally broke sonething, claimed broken on delivery, got new one for free)

#

It was a nvme to USB 3.0 thingie, the screws were so tight I stripped em

bold locust
#

id return the cpu and gpu and get a better gpu

little osprey
#

Why return CPU?

normal brook
#

Cause man, you built a gaming PC.

little osprey
#

Again, the GPU is only temporary

normal brook
#

emphasis on gaming.

#

I know.

#

That's the only thing that makes it ok.

#

The 32GB of ram too.

bold locust
#

get a better one now and it wont be

little osprey
#

I'll get a 1660 or a 2060 when the lockdown is over

bold locust
#

why

normal brook
#

You could have had one of those.

#

Right now.

#

With your budget.

little osprey
#

I looked all over and either the were out of my budget range or sold out

normal brook
#

CPU, RAM, and mobo.

bold locust
#

i dont understand the fascination with rtx cards

normal brook
#

Return, then buy 3300x and a MSI tomahawk b450, then get a 16GB kit.

#

And bam.

#

You have enough for a 2060.

little osprey
#

Truthfully I might go 1660

little leaf
#

Or a rx 5700xt

normal brook
#

I think people should stick to AMD for lower end cards as well.

bold locust
#

or go ryzen 2

little osprey
#

You realize I spent $69.99 on 32gb ram?

normal brook
#

Until you get to the 2070 range.

#

Then you AMD can't compete, so you have to go with nvidia.

little osprey
#

I got it for a STEAL

bold locust
#

lol

normal brook
#

Are you sure it's $69.99?

little leaf
#

No man you got if for a steak

little osprey
#

Yes

normal brook
#

Show me the ad.

#

Amazon right?

#

Link it here.

#

I wanna see.

#

Is it ddr 3 or something?

#

xD

little leaf
#

Cause ill buy

bold locust
#

32gb 3200 shouldnt be that scheap

normal brook
#

Hopefully it's not DDR3.

bold locust
#

i think thats what i had seen at least

#

$129 on newegg

normal brook
#

I got myself some crappy trident z rgb 3600MHz sticks

bold locust
#

i hate my trident z

normal brook
#

The XMP profiles are at like 19 CAS latency.

bold locust
#

no xmp eww

normal brook
#

I've not tried to tighted the timings yet.

little osprey
#

.......SHOOOT

normal brook
#

But it's not promising.

#

Oh no.

#

DDR3.

#

I knew it.

bold locust

"suspicious activity"

bold locust
#

oof

Oof

bold locust
#

it wasnt meant to be

#

im all for you building the pc just with the right parts

#

800 is more than doable to game

normal brook
#

Same 🙂

#

We got you Savecai.

little osprey

😭😭😭😭

normal brook
#

When you get unbanned and cancel it we will help you build it better.

bold locust
#

battlefield is literally the only game ive played that cares about my cpu, get a better gpu

little osprey

Meh, I have another amazon account

normal brook

O_o

bold locust

little osprey
#

That one was for my Kindle, I have one for my phone

normal brook

Salvecai, your TV Stand is a mess, as well as your life rn.

little osprey
#

Forgot password for the one on my phone so...

#

@normal brook also, you have no idea

bold locust
#

please dont get that case for $60 btw

little osprey
#

Why?

bold locust
#

nzxt h500

#

same price

little osprey
#

I want a smaller case, but not micro atx sized

normal brook
#

Fractal Design Meshify C.

little osprey
#

With fans built in

little leaf
#

You mean mid tower?

little osprey
#

wasnt newegg canada supposed to be restocked by now?

little leaf
#

@little osprey

#

Depends on the vendors

little osprey
#

Well even mid towers come in various sizes

bold locust
#

h500 comes with a top and rear fan

normal brook
#

The meshify c comes with front and rear fan.

bold locust
#

two options

little osprey
#

What about Zalman Z3?

normal brook
#

Do you like the looks of that case, or did you get it just because it was cheap?

bold locust
#

true

little osprey
#

Which? Current?

normal brook
#

The one you bought.

#

It seems you like old mid 2000's looks if so.

little leaf
#

The i510400f is gonna shread

#

shred

little osprey
#

I liked the design and cheap, mostly design

normal brook
#

You're case options have 5.25" drive bays.

#

o_o

bold locust
#

molex yum

little osprey
#

What?

normal brook
#

Nvm.

little leaf
#

is no one else excited for the 10400f

normal brook
#

If you like it, you like it.

little leaf
#

cause I’m kind of hyped for it

normal brook
#

Not really.

bold locust
#

intel wants my first born for the 10th gen

little osprey
#

I wanted the h500, but it's a bit too big

bold locust
#

and they cant have her

normal brook
#

They're selling you the same thing over and over.

#

The last 3 gens.

little osprey
#

6 cores, not excited lol

bold locust
#

my 8700 is more than fine

little leaf
#

The i510400f has higher gaming performance at the same price of the 3600

Yeah but 3600 is already out

normal brook
#

But 4000 series comes out in a couple months.

little osprey
#

its marginally better untill 4000 series, nothing to hype about

normal brook
#

And garantee AMD drops pricing here shortly.

bold locust
#

that sku 🤢

normal brook
#

For real.

little leaf
#

I don’t get it

#

why do people upgrade for the extra 20 frames

little osprey
#

So plazey how would you improve my build ta keep it atmost $800?

bold locust
#

they couldve added a few more characters

normal brook
#

@little leaf , I am excited actually. First time competition has been real since 2009.

little osprey
#

get a better cpu, and get your rx 570 used, untill ampere comes

little leaf
#

my old pc had a core 2 duo

normal brook
#

Salvecai, you want a build?

little leaf
#

so I was hyped about my new one

little osprey
#

Plazey, sure

#

Why not?

#

also i don't t like when my pc turns my room into a sauna, big reason for me to still stick with the 3600 anyways

#

Lol my tv does that anyways

bold locust
#

why not watercool

#

lol that tv is awesome

little osprey
#

That's why it's under the a/c and I have my fan on 24/7

#

watercool dosent make your exhaust less hot lol

bold locust
#

keep it youll get a tan in the winter

little osprey
#

Oh it amazing in winter

bold locust
#

of course it does if it is cooler overal

little osprey
#

Less so the other 3/4 of the year(Texas summer)

#

its justpumping your pc heat into your room more if anything

bold locust
#

right now

#

my pc is an ac

little leaf
little osprey
#

good coolers keep the heat out of your pc better, the only way to have generally lower temps is less power from the hardware

bold locust
#

thats why my cpu and gpu are undervolted

little osprey
#

I mean I really only need 450, maybe 500 watt psu

#

@little leaf you totally failed

little leaf
#

you really don’t want to cheap out. On the pus

#

psu

bold locust
#

450w is too close for a 400w machine lol

#

90% usage no good

little osprey
#

I have like 3 hard drives(4tb in total)

little leaf
#

ok So you don’t need more storage?

little osprey
#

Not really

little leaf
#

ok tehn you can cut out another 60 bucks out

normal brook
bold locust
#

or spend it on gpu

little osprey
#

And for $300 I'd get a 2060 super or even a 2070 lol, thanks for the help though

normal brook
#

5700 is better than 2060 super.

little osprey
#

i hope thats a hyperthread ed quad core lol

little leaf
#

@little osprey a 2060 super is not beter tahn a 5700

little osprey
#

pairing a 5700 with a quad core, i would not recomend that at all

little leaf
#

and a 2070 is not 300 dollars

bold locust
#

i dont like that youll never know if the bios is updated already

little osprey
#

I meant price wise

little leaf
#

why would be getting more price to performance with the 5700

#

and if you don’t stream

#

you don’t need the nivida cared

little osprey
#

So, just take out the ssd, upgrade the cpu

#

And we're game

bold locust
#

why

little osprey
#

quad cores are stuttery, if you have huperhtreading on it then your at the bare minimum for games today, and youl be stuttering within a year

#

My i3 is quad core

normal brook
#

That's why it's a $100 CPU.

little osprey
#

I hate quad core

bold locust
#

omg

little osprey
#

quad core is only good for LIGHT gaming, and geberal pc use

#

So upgrade to 3600, take out ssd, and we should be game

normal brook
#

You upgrade it after awhile.

little leaf
#

Ok look at this list

normal brook
#

I would stick with the 3100.
