For Corsair their VS 2012 PSUs are not good

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:07 PM

#

its just N1/N2 bad

#

Seasonic S12ii, M12ii x20w, Evo x20w and ET are listed as potentially dangerous

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

What’s wrong with the S12ii?

#

I haven’t looked into that power supply

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

I'll have to check

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

All I know is that it’s not actually made by seasonic

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

but basically stay as far away from these as possible

good thing i only had a non k quad core and 1050 on myne lol

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:08 PM

#

and never buy these

📎 unknown.png

little osprey May 26, 2020, 7:09 PM

#

those seasonics are so popular though, how potential is their potentially

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

oof It lacks OCP

little osprey May 26, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

i never heard of any problems from them

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

lacks OTP too I think

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

Over current protection is missing according to Mr1

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

thats a dangerous combo if it is

#

📎 unknown.png

#

so basically if you run a load higher than the rated power

#

its gonna blow xD

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

Yikesies

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

or just really high current

#

and keep at it for a while

#

it'll burn up

#

seems like its got opp so straight up too much power won't be too much of an issue

wooden quarry May 26, 2020, 7:11 PM

#

So, Corsair cx series modular 750m?

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

Not unless you want to play the RMA game

#

many CXM units have coil whine

#

CX units are good

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:12 PM

#

That’s a decent model, but quite a lot of power for something that is just decent

#

I mean it’s not bad by any means though

#

It’ll work

wooden quarry May 26, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

I just don't want to fry my and threadripper

fast dust May 26, 2020, 7:13 PM

#

Probably won’t fry anything

little osprey May 26, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

iuno if its still the case but on amd that situation would kill your board not cpu

wooden quarry May 26, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

Corsair rm series alright?

#

Rm 750w

stoic island May 26, 2020, 7:16 PM

#

yes

#

RM is pretty good

#

RMx is basically top tier, RM close behind

quaint cloud May 26, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

anyone got a 3700x build?

#

if not, what gpu would pair well

high coyote May 26, 2020, 7:55 PM

#

You should wait for the 30xx series from nv

quaint cloud May 26, 2020, 7:55 PM

any ideas on which month they release?

Could go for a 3600 and save $35, spend that on a cooler

Can get an entry level x570 board for that price
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/nHxbt6/gigabyte-x570-aorus-elite-atx-am4-motherboard-x570-aorus-elite

ram is fine, might be able to find same or faster for slightly cheaper

If you're gonna spend $150 on 1TB boot, please get this instead
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/QQrmP6/western-digital-sn750-1-tb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-wds100t3x0c
It can be found for $120-130 on sale though.

Better pick for psu

wise heron May 26, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

i think i will keep the 3600x and add an additional cost for cooler

little osprey May 26, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

id say, 3600, cheaper b450, and you can get a super fast 1 tb m.2 nvme drive for just 10-20 bucks more

#

or get a cheaper sata 3 ssd

waxen finch May 26, 2020, 10:23 PM

Can someone help me?

buoyant flame May 26, 2020, 10:24 PM

#

With?

waxen finch May 26, 2020, 10:25 PM

#

Every time I try to increase my ram frequency to its speed 3600mhz (compatible with my motherboard) it won’t boot, but when I boot it to auto frequency it boots perfectly fine

fast dust May 26, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

did you set an XMP profile

waxen finch May 26, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

Yes

timber rose May 26, 2020, 10:28 PM

#

You could try running the frequency overclock manually

#

Kit is probably just unstable at 3600mhz

celest horizon May 26, 2020, 10:29 PM

What vccio /vccsa

pastel briar May 26, 2020, 10:33 PM

Good stuff

Hope we helped in some way.

waxen finch May 26, 2020, 10:50 PM

Alright another quick question

#

📎 image0.jpg

#

Why is it showing up like that on userbenchmark is there a fix?

stoic island May 26, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

thats just userbenchmark being bad

celest horizon May 26, 2020, 11:01 PM

#

Because you've used all but 7GB of that poor ssd

#

hello can someone teach me how to flip pcs

#

im gonna be bored over the summer

#

and have a couple hundred dollars I made from working

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

sure

#

idk really where to start though

#

Spend money on parts, build parts, sell complete build, make money

#

boom

#

easy peasy

next kestrel May 26, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

used or new?

#

what are platforms to find those parts if used?

#

where would I sell the completed build?

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

I usually buy used

#

eBay or facebook marketplace or something to find them

#

Usually sell locally. Shipping, especially on lower-end PCs, will kill your profit

next kestrel May 26, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

how old do you buy your parts?

#

like intel 1st gen?

#

or amd athlon?

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

First gen intel is really only decent with i7s

#

Old AMD stuff is usually a no-no

#

Except decent FX stuff or something

next kestrel May 26, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

so before ryzen isnt advised?

#

okok

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

yeah

next kestrel May 26, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

did u ever use liquidation.com?

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

can't say I have

#

I usually only buy single parts, not in bulk

next kestrel May 26, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

ok, tysm for your help, I'll be on the watch for decent parts :))

fast dust May 26, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

Yeah DM me with any other questions

#

There's a lot more to know about PSUs, cases, how to sell, etc

mighty sapphire May 27, 2020, 12:20 AM

Quick question

#

Anyone know what this cable is or where it would hook up to?

📎 image0.jpg

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:23 AM

#

Sata I think

modern shadow May 27, 2020, 12:24 AM

#

probably

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 12:38 AM

#

Almost looks like a usb c internal connecter

#

Doesn't look like sata to me...

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:41 AM

#

@potent prairie hard to tell unless zoomed in, but I think thats sata still :P

sounds like 1660 super territory

Thanks i had in my cart a gtx 1660 ventus xs

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

@mighty sapphire That's a usb 3.1 type c front panel header cable

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

eh

#

Forks really?

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Yes..?

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

I thought it was just sata plugs with the like crooked thing

near garden May 27, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Yeah but i will be getting that gigabyte 1660

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

eh I dont use use type c so I dunno

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

The connector looks exactly like a usb type c header - also sata cables are very rarely round

#

I've literally never seen a round sata cable

mighty sapphire May 27, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

It wouldn’t fit in the sata slot on the motherboard

#

It’s from the PO-11 dynamic racer edition

#

Razer **

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

It goes in the header on the far left of this pic

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I was thinking like this thing :p

📎 unknown.png

#

@mighty sapphire actually it depends on if your board has one or not, it seemed like many boards don't have one, what board do you have

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Only higher end cases like the O-11 will have type c headers, most modern mobo's do, but ya got a pcpp link?

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

H510 did

#

someone was asking about b450 boards with usb c internal header, I didn't find any :p

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

I remember some GN video explaining is costs about $10 to manufacture said header cable

mighty sapphire May 27, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Tuf b450 pro

stoic island May 27, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

doesn't look like there is a header

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

You can buy adapters, but it wouldn't run at fast speeds

pastel briar May 27, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

@mighty sapphire your picture looks like an esata cable possibly?

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

I'd just tuck the cable away with a zip tie to use later on with your next build.

Far better psu like a bitfenix formula gold 650 for $120

mighty sapphire May 27, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

It definitely looks like the cable in the thing you sent on amazon!

#

It has the usb 3.0 big cable as well

#

And there’s only one hookup on my motherboard for that it looks like

stoic island May 27, 2020, 1:02 AM

#

weird

#

3rd party seller on the formula gold tho

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 1:07 AM

#

@modest kraken Try checking that your USB 3.0/2.0 internal cables are fully connected

#

Or just plug directly into mobo

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

they were working when i was in the bios screen

#

it was in mobo then

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

Oh. Odd. What brand?

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:08 AM

#

logitech

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Hmm. Check if there is a switch on the back. Possible it has a bios mode

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

what motherboard and what OS

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

Also can try restarting if you haven't already

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:09 AM

#

tried that

potent prairie May 27, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

Tried different ports?

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

it is a b450 mobo and rn it windows 7 bc that is the work drive for my pc at work

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

Windows 7 does not have usb3 drivers built in. Mouse and keyboard will die as soon as windows loads

#

You need windows 10

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:11 AM

#

ya thats whats happening

#

how can i update and keep the info on the drive

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:13 AM

#

never been in that situation myself. There are ways to get the drivers isntalled on windows 7, but none of them are exactly simple.

modest kraken May 27, 2020, 1:14 AM

#

ok so should i just install a flash drive with windows ten and then will it wipe the memory on the drive or is there a way to keep it

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

I have only installed windows 7 on an amd once just to see how to get it working, but that was a fresh install. Easiest way to get windows 10 and not lose your data might be to get another drive to install windows 10 on. Someone like @celest horizon might know something else.

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 1:19 AM

#

You'd have to "bake" the drivers into the install image with NTlite or something

#

That's what we do for XP on z390 etc

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:20 AM

#

But is there a way to slipstream or get the drivers going on an install thats been moved from another system.

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

I would try and pick up a new boot drive like that $70 512GB wd black , install win 10 to that

#

Then pull files off the old drive with the 7 install

warm nova May 27, 2020, 1:22 AM

#

Put it back in the old system and do an in place upgrade with a build made with ntlite then move the drive again?

#

this is a situation I have seen a few times but never had to deal with myself

statistically, no

theoretically, maybe

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 1:41 AM

they will

#

but not much

#

will mostly affect the 2nd hand market

the retailers will try to sell them within reasonable range

that would explain why the wifi is bad

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:57 AM

ye

urban geode May 27, 2020, 2:57 AM

#

my wifi was good even before

#

cuz i didnt have those in

it started around a week ago

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

huh wut

urban geode May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

i finish my build around 4 months ago

sacred obsidian May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

well i believe it can catch wifi signals without it but you def need em to get the full thing

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

maybe the router was somehow close enough

#

and directed at the mobo I guess

sacred obsidian May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

do you still have the antenna?

urban geode May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yes

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

but antennas definally help pick up the signal

sacred obsidian May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

attach it and see if things change

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

yea

sacred obsidian May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

thank you mr111 i woulda completely glossed over the antenna factor 😛

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:58 AM

I forgot about antennas at the start of my build lol

urban geode May 27, 2020, 2:59 AM

stoic island May 27, 2020, 2:59 AM

opened the door and dragged the router into the hallway and the connection was actually decent ish

#

like 15mb/s

sacred obsidian May 27, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

usb wifi suuuuucks

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

dumb question:

#

what's the difference between 240 and 280 aio?

urban geode May 27, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

280 has 40 more

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:20 AM

#

240mm and 280mm?

#

one is slightly bigger

#

240mm uses 2 120mm fans, 280mm uses 2 140mm fans

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

so my case is nzxt h510

#

it says it can fit 2 x 140mm in the front

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

owie

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

that means I can use 280<

#

?

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

check "radiator support"

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:22 AM

#

well, that's a problem

#

📎 unknown.png

#

nzxt doesn't specify

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

sometimes the "radiator support" exists on paper but in practice it just doesn't, like my case lol

Hey guys Just built my first pc and I’m trying to make sure everything is all good with it. I’m having a problem with only 1 of my fans is lighting up...

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:23 AM

#

oh

#

okay so it does support 280mm

#

many thanks

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

are your fans all spinning? @eager flower

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

280mm if you have the fans pushing I believe

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:24 AM

#

Yes

#

@eager chasm

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:25 AM

#

so it's a lighting problem, how do you have them wired for lighting>?

#

and are they ARGB or regular RGB?

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

They are just stock from a Corsair case lol so I have no clue

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

what case

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:26 AM

#

Again just built it for the first time

#

Like my cable management is bad and everything atm. I’m just trying to make sure it’s all good lol

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

...but the case?

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:27 AM

#

Carbide series spec delta

#

Rgb

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:28 AM

#

kk thats rgb

#

did your case come with a hub

#

or does the fans have 2 cables hanging off of em

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

I lilke the holes on your case

📎 4.png

#

24 pin won't be a pain

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:29 AM

#

looks like you need to hook up the RGB for each fan

#

either chaining them or splitting them

#

I'm guessing you only plugged in 1 RGB header for a single fan and that's why only 1 is lighting up

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

There is a splitter for all 3

#

Which is plugged in. But for some reason only 1 goes on

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

🤔

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

I’ll figure this out tmrw lol I’m pre tired after trying to learn how this all goes together😂

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:31 AM

#

does it plug into a 3 pin or a 4 pin header?

eager flower May 27, 2020, 3:32 AM

#

But thanks anyways guys

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:33 AM

#

open the lighting software that came with your motherboard

#

if they are ARGB and the LED count is set too low only some of the LEDs will light up

stoic island May 27, 2020, 3:38 AM

#

@eager chasm the case fans were rgb from what I sae

eager chasm May 27, 2020, 3:39 AM

#

Three Included RGB Fans: Light up your system with three RGB LED fans, each boasting six customizable LEDs.

🤔 this line kinda reads like it's ARGB

#

could just be a BS statement

stoic island May 27, 2020, 4:00 AM

#

Yea lol

#

I'd assume they'll list ARGB fans instead of rgb if they were

Hello everyone

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

Hey what do you fire guys think of this 800$ build

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CPBPWb

System Builder

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

I think you can squeez in a 5700

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

Rx?

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

yes let me see

#

nvm no you can't I did it a week ago the mobo I wanted is no longer onsale

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

Oh thats unfortunate

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:29 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q4LDdm but this is a different one

System Builder

#

its 67 dollars over

#

but a 1660ti or super should work fine

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

Yeah I’m just trying to do my first build thanks

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

np

#

@near garden its just ad because the rx 5700 has a pretty large performance gap imo

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

Oh

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:33 AM

#

the rx 5700 is about 2070 performance and you can alwasy flash it to make it near xt performance but I wouldn't recomend it. I could brick the card

#

Also ryzen refresh is coming out in a few month along with the new amd gpus and nvidia gpus

#

so if you can wait I recomend it

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Yeah Il wait lol it’s just that i want to move on from my old pre built

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

ye but if you can wait wait because amd might be recking the gaming market too

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:36 AM

#

Yeah well thanks bro i will be waiting see if those prices drop or sum

little leaf May 27, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

@near garden they for sure will when the new line of gpus come out

#

but again thats rumored for september

near garden May 27, 2020, 7:37 AM

#

Should i go with the rx 5700 then ?

#

Oh eh il wait

#

thanks so much for the help @little leaf cya

Evga supernova 750 g2 gold fully modular. I'm planning to build a mag x570 tomahawk with ryzen 5 3600x, please is that a suitable power supply?

#

I can't send a picture don't know why

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:28 AM

@river locust you have to be level 3 to send picture

#

what are other components?

#

anw, that one's a good psu

#

I just don't know why you want 750w

river locust May 27, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

Nzxt 510, trident z neo 3600 cl 16, corsair ssd pcie 4

#

Is 750 too much?

midnight pelican May 27, 2020, 8:30 AM

uh

the case is 50

river locust May 27, 2020, 8:30 AM

how much ram?

16 yes

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:31 AM

unless you're going for sth like top of the line

650 is probably just fine

I THOUGHT U MEANT PRICE

#

I WAS LIKE

#

UHHHHHHHH

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

yeah, 650 is enough

#

but 750 for efficiency curve is also fine

#

sounds like you have the budget for it

midnight pelican May 27, 2020, 8:32 AM

#

a good rated 650 will do fine

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:32 AM

so i don't think there's any problem

river locust May 27, 2020, 8:33 AM

I'm just struggling to find a good psu these days, most of them are +1000 watt and overpriced

#

That's in Newegg and Amazon

#

Anyway thank you

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

isn't the RM series from corsair available?

#

oh okay

only rmx left

river locust May 27, 2020, 8:36 AM

Yes I saw that

tepid basalt May 27, 2020, 8:38 AM

Just ordered it with delivery it costed around 230

Yes delivery fee is so much, I'm outside USA

cursive wharf May 27, 2020, 10:27 AM

I have an SkyTech Azure - Gaming Computer PC Desktop – Ryzen 5 1600 6-Core 3.2 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB, 500G NVMe PCIe SSD, 16GB DDR4, AC WiFi, Windows 10 Home 64-bit (16GB Version), reference link and I would like to upgrade the processor probably to a rysen 7 o rysen 9 but idk which to buy since there are so many, I found the MoBo to be model ASRock A320M-HDV

lyric thistle May 27, 2020, 5:53 PM

Could always dangle the sensor in the new case

fast dust May 27, 2020, 5:54 PM

Then it looks like you can only have a 65w TDP processor
I'd just stick with the Ryzen 1600. It's still good
And the RTX 2060 versions are out of stock

@mighty sapphire well seeing as I can't quote your posts with pictures, here goes, that is a Dell intrusion switch, you can run with out it, however the system will generally complain, (at least ones equipped with one do) but you can press a key to continue booting, if you go into BIOS you should be able to disable the intrusion protection functions and turn off the switch so you can leave it unplugged, all it serves is to alert you if the case is open, or has been tampered with in some way

mighty sapphire May 27, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

@pastel briar thank you!! That’s kind of what I was guessing it would be with how the switch was. Definitely good to know! I think he’s gonna get an upgrade soon lol this may just get passed down to his little brother haha

what ever works for you guys, I just want to make sure you have the knowledge so you can be informed 🙂

celest horizon May 27, 2020, 6:58 PM

Uh, pretty sure that just goes to the power switch + it's led and the hdd led next to it.
Intrusion switch is a separate 2 pin somewhere else on the board.
Intrusion detection will won't interrupt boot ime - but disconnected case fans, or a USB/front panel header will.

@celest horizon

you may want to look at the pictures again, the connector (board side) is ladled "intruder" and is generally where the intrusion switch will get plugged into (the item pictured in the second picture)

have you checked your TV's input settings (checked your on the correct input?) tested with on board GPU (if applicable)?

Okay I fixed my fans problem I redid some cables and put my memory in again and now it’s working

But still no signal goes to the tv and it’s on the right input, cables are all in properly etc lol

Just make sure you USB drive is blank except for the BIOS file. Asrock BIOS downloads are usually a .zip file, so extract it first, and copy the .rom file onto the USB stick. Then just do what I said above.

My biggest complaint about the Deep Cool Matrexx 55 is when you mount the fans back into the chassis (instead of having them choked off up against the glass) you can see all the cross bars of the frame in front of the RGB... booooo

#

I was looking at the crosshair for awhile but I just can’t make up my mind lol all the reviews I watch or read they all seem to have there up sides and down sides really I just want it to be able to handle all the games I play at full max I’m going to get the 2070 super gpu and have at least 2tb ssd

wary geode May 28, 2020, 3:40 AM

#

Gives it more transferring

#

But if I were you at that budget why the heck not

#

You can get a board for 170 and it will be better than most peoples

#

Anything over that is a overkill i would say

#

Personally I would save and get rgb

#

Stuff

#

If ya like flashy

flat robin May 28, 2020, 3:42 AM

ive put it in the buget for about 400 on board just dont wanna spend over kill on it ya know but dont wanna have to be upgrading in 5 or 6 years

wary geode May 28, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Should be fine just get a x570 and it’ll be good to upgrade to zen 2 I think too

i have intel now but thinking ima go to ryzen smart move you think??

Price to performance

flat robin May 28, 2020, 3:44 AM

well from what ive read on ryzen has intel beat right now

wary geode May 28, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

But the thing is you can get the i9 10900k with the budget u have just maybe and a z390 or whatever board supports the socket

#

I’m not that knowledgeable for the new intel 10th gen

flat robin May 28, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

Yea i ain’t read up on that but I don’t ever like buying stuff when they first get released

wary geode May 28, 2020, 3:45 AM

#

Amd is the way tho

#

Yeah it’s most expensive then

#

Maybe get a 3950x since you would have the budget with the board if your up for it

flat robin May 28, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

That’s what I was thinking seems like there sockets stay the same so hoping later on down the road i don’t have to upgrade it all to upgrade

#

anyone have a list under $870

wary geode May 28, 2020, 3:46 AM

#

In process of building an HTPC that will mostly be used for Plex. Should I get a cheaper gpu and get something like the Ryzen 1600 AF or should I get a Ryzen G chip

#

I have someone in my area selling a 1050 ti that I'd probably use as the GPU

next kestrel May 28, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

get the 3100 or 3300x

carmine mason May 28, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

I'm not sure the Ryzen 3 chips make sense here though. Plex is heavily transcoding based, which the 1600 AF out performs in, and is currently available for less

you dont need a 850w psu, you can get a b450 mobo or wait for b550, swap the ssd for a mp34, i'd save money and get cheaper rgb fans, and swap the cpu cooler to a mugen 5 rev b or keep the stock cooler

ripe wedge May 28, 2020, 5:32 AM

a 650W should be good for it

depending on the gpu u choose

and spending 30% more for a rmx isnt really a smart idea in my mind

Motherboards are usualy either made for only one ram stick (which I will never reccomend) two ram sticks, or four ram sticks for a normal sized Mobo. Motherboards take advantage of dual channel memory which means that if you only have two ram sticks you can put them in their special slots and it ups performance. If you aren't putting the ram in their slots then that boost in speed is gone @upper verge

little osprey May 28, 2020, 9:02 AM

#

Well, the Mobo I was supposed to get fried when my friend tested it to make sure it worked

#

So I got a cheapo from Best Buy along with a USB wifi adapter

Yo, iv been looking into gaming pc and I want to start off with a good pc around 500 that can be built on in the future. Any good entry level pc with good specs you guys can suggest?

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

Yes

#

What country do you live in?

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

I do have to warn you though @exotic trellis , PC part prices are very bad right now becuase of the virus so it is hard to build on a budget

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

Usa Cali

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

@fast dust the 9100f is only $60

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Im confused, aren't they on sale because of company declines

#

I guess so

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

I'm assuming you're a beginner, right?

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

#

Yessir

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:44 PM

ok

#

Have you watched any build tutorials?

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

A bunch

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

ok

#

People make it sound harder than it actually is

#

you just have to plug all of your components in

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:45 PM

#

Buy motherB, ram, case, ssd, that core thingy, power supply

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

Yeah...

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

I think i missed others

#

Just budget is my problem

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:46 PM

Do you know about the website pcpartpicker.com?

Also one thing

#

Iv been playing on my apple mac with a max of 40 fps. So a great wipping 60 - 100 would make it great. Iv been playing on low settings since my first computer. So a mid range pc parts would be great.

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:49 PM

#

Could probably get a Ryzen 3100 + RX 570 or 1650S build

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

@fast dust HBU make a list as well. I usually choose amd, but the 9100f is really cheap right now.

#

You could make a team red one and i can make team blue

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:51 PM

#

im on irt

#

it

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

I wish the 9100f supported faster ram

#

I think amd will end up being WAY more upgradable

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:54 PM

#

What makes me look at my wallet even more is that, this isnt including a monitor. But cant I use a tv instead? A hdmi adaptor?

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

Well

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

yeah you can use a TV

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

#

A TV is fine, but you'll be limited to 60hz

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:55 PM

Ill be using my dads work computers

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:56 PM

Or maybe just pick up cooler master devastators

#

They're pretty cheap

It's a keyboard-mouse combo

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 3:57 PM

Master devastators. I'll check that out when I decide to upgrade. Thanks for the suggestion though

#

Not bad but how will he update the bios?

fast dust May 28, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

It may not need to be updated

#

or

formal plover May 28, 2020, 3:59 PM

#

Also, that hdd isn't the greatest

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

he can get in contact with AMD and they will send him a CPU to update the BIOS

#

Yeah ik but it's where I had to cheap out becuase of the budget @formal plover

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

Maybe get a better ssd

#

instead of that hdd

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

Pricey

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

or drop the ssd and get a 2tb hdd for $50

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:00 PM

#

no

#

you need an SSD in 2020

#

HDDs are too slow now

I'm all about getting used stuff

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Which case should I use?

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

Matrexx 30 is back in stock

#

best looking cheap case

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

I'm kinda off track

#

Get an ssd instead?

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

@exotic trellis wait for my list

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:03 PM

#

No usually people get an SSD to put windows on and a Hard Drive for whatever else

#

Or just an SSD

#

SSDs are faster, but more expensive

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Some people get a smaller capacity ssd to put their games and OS on and a large capacity hdd for everything else

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

Ah I see

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

I put my games on a secondary hard drive

#

It's still very fast

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:05 PM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Bf66Zf

System Builder

#

I think this may be better than the amd build

#

cause you don't have a cpu to update the bios with

#

for the amd build

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

@formal plover did good. CPU is eh, but it's cheap and the motherboard is cheap

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

yeah

#

a z390 board would be much better

#

cause you can overclock and use faster ram

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

The SSD iirc isn't the best, but it's better than a hard drive I guess

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

but z390 is at least $130

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 4:06 PM

#

Okay so I looked at both lists

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

I have that ssd in my system and it's decent

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

@formal plover you could have gotten slower ram because doesnt intel only use 2666MHz?

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

I kinda dont know...which id use for preferance or if id buy because I dont know whats good and whats reliable

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Well

#

I reccomend you just wait

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

The AMD list has better CPU performance, but the intel list is pretty well rounded

exotic trellis May 28, 2020, 4:07 PM

#

Alrighty

formal plover May 28, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Right now the prices are MUCH higher than they usually are

fast dust May 28, 2020, 4:08 PM

@little osprey TT Smart 80+ PSUs are an IED. Cancel the order and get smth else. Antec NeoECO Gold Zen, Xilence Performance X, Corsair CX, Corsair CXM (you'll probs have to play RMA game to get one without coil whine as this PSU has a common chance to have coil whine issues)

those are some decent PSUs that have stock usually

my board has a 6-pin Graphics 12V Power connector
that's only needed when you need extra power for multiple GPUs right ?

On PCPP, it shows External Power: 1 8-pin PCIe for my GPU
meaning I won't need to add power to the board's 6-pin, correct ?
