Would you be okay using it for gaming?

bright notch
#

It might be a few years old, but I am sure it would be okay. Most of the games I've been playing aren't heavily relied on the internet, but I do like to have a constant and stable connection.

sand falcon
#

Cool. Probably gonna use that then, and shave 40 bucks off the price

#

You are looking at USD for currency, right?

bright notch
#

yes

sand falcon
#

Okay

bright notch
#

But should I get an intel or amd board

#

?

sand falcon
#

At this budget, AMD

bright notch
#

which amd chip should I get for this budget? Ryzen 5?

sand falcon
#

How much harddrive/ssd space are you looking at?

bright notch
#

or 3?

#

I am okay with 500gb for now

#

I can always change it out later

sand falcon
#

I'd go with the ryzen 5 3600

bright notch
#

should I get 16gb in ram and which brand would you recommend?

sand falcon
#

16GB ram, 3200MHZ CL 16

bright notch
#

Now, I am not too sure about the graphics card. I like Nvida, but they usually cost alot

sand falcon
#

AMD should work if you're just gaming

bright notch
#

so an AMD graphics card?

sand falcon
#

Yeah

bright notch
#

oh okay good. I am looking at those for awhile

little osprey
#

AMD CPU Nvidia GPU

sand falcon
little leaf
#

I would get a better psu

bright notch
#

hmmm, looks pretty decent.

#

oh okay

#

What would you recommend instead?

fast dust
#

Corsair CX or EVGA GD would both work fine instead

#

Corsair CV is meh really not the best - especially in a system like that

#

Also I’d definitely get a GTX 1650 super instead of the RX 580

#

@bright notch

bright notch
#

Ah okay. Thanks for the recommendation.

little osprey
#

Corsair RMx if you can swing it. For the Vid Gigabyte 1650S or 1660S

fast dust
#

Unless you need the extra 4gb VRAM. 1650 uses less power and is generally a little more stable, but it is only $5 cheaper so if you want a little future-proofing you actually could go for the 580.
If you get a 1650 super you might be able to get a power supply with less wattage though, which can save you money or get you better quality.
@bright notch

#

So the choice is really:
1650 super = newer, more power efficient, slightly cheaper
RX 580 = more VRAM, older, less power efficient, less stable

bright notch
#

I do like the idea of power efficiency and stability.

fast dust
#

I’m a 1650 super guy as I find that I don’t need the extra VRAM

bright notch
#

also, are those actual yams in your profile pic?

#

I noticed your pic

little osprey
#

What do yam mean?

fast dust
#

Yeah they’re actual yams

#

Yams are a type of food similar to sweet potatoes

bright notch
#

lol that's pretty funny

fast dust
#

Yeah I try to be funny

#

😆

bright notch
#

but yea, I probably get the 1650 cuz I don't need the extra vram.

molten silo
#

when is the b450 aorus elite gonna be back in stock?

fast dust
#

No idea

molten silo
#

anyone have a guess of a timeframe

#

oh

#

damn

fast dust
#

When things are gonna be back in stock we don’t know

#

That’s something we can guess, but not know usually

molten silo
#

how long has it been out of stock for?

fast dust
#

Idk I haven’t been watching it

molten silo
#

its the last thing i need for my pc

fast dust
#

Why don’t you get a different B450?

molten silo
#

the other one i was gonna get is also out of stock lol

deft karma
#

do you have a budget for your motherboard, I know the b550 elite is available

fast dust
#

The B450 Tomahawk is in stock last one I checked. But that was a week or so ago so idk if it’s still in stock

molten silo
#

yeah tomahawk isnt rn

fast dust
#

Wow

molten silo
#

uh, not really a budget, but i was looking to keep it under 150$

fast dust
#

Yeah so many mobos are OOS right now because of the virus

molten silo
#

mainly cause im an impatient teen,

#

yeah i have assumed that

deft karma
#

quite unlucky

fast dust
#

If steel legend or pro4 board are in stock for decent prices there pretty good.

molten silo
#

my guess is it will be back in stock in july at some time knowing that things are opening back up

fast dust
#

I mean unless you have a Ryzen 9 or are planning to be doing some crazy overclocking

molten silo
#

nope, just a 3600

fast dust
#

Yeah so even some lower end b450s would be fine

molten silo
#

i guess the best thing to really do right now is to be patient and wait for it to be back in stock

fast dust
#

Unless you’re planning on overclocking or upgrading to a 95w+ TDP CPU later on

#

Yeah patience is key

molten silo
#

yeah i thought about that, but i went cheap on my last mobo, LEDS and stuff look fun now that i have the money and a better knowledge of computers

dusty tree
#

Hey everyone i’m brand new to pc building and am building a pc. If someone could take a look at my parts list on pcpartpicker and tell me if i’m overpaying and what some games would run at i’d so appreciate it

fast dust
#

Looks like a pretty solid build

#

Although intel is pretty expensive and AMD has great prices rn

#

If you’re planning on doing only gaming it’s fine but if you are even thinking about doing anything else AMD might be a better choice

dusty tree
#

Yeah only gaming was my idea behind it, i won’t be doing much else on it besides that. Maybe some light video editing but that’s it.

#

I just wanted to get a general idea on what that build would run tarkov and rust at. Also if i’m overpaying for something i could get thats better and cheaper.

fast dust
#

Yeah then intel is fine. But if you wanted to save some money and still only sacrifice a little performance go with a Ryzen 3700X/3800X/3900X

wide sparrow
#

Lmao thanks for changing your name

potent prairie
#

Smart move lol

lyric thistle
#

Awesome bike fender da_heck

dusty tree
#

Okay i’ll definitely look into it, could you maybe give me a rough estimate of what i’d run tarkov and rust at? With what I have currently. I wanna make sure it’s worth spending almost $2000 on.

wide sparrow
#

I laughed when i saw his original name...i had a big what moment

lyric thistle
#

Lol

fast dust
#

Good FPS lmao. Idk. It’ll run very very good at 1080p, 1440p, and even pretty decent at 4I if you’re into that

dusty tree
#

awesome, i appreciate the help. Thanks for changing it to awesome bike fender i appreciate it.

fast dust
#

*4k

#

I meant to say 4K not 4l

sand falcon
#

Wonder which mod that was 🤔

#

Feels like a fork sort of thing but he's not on

little osprey
#

I know nothing...

wide sparrow
#

4i

#

You now how to speak

keen depot
#

Alright, I've done a confirmation from reddit, and some people told me if I plan to upgrade go with a better PSU

#

Also to change out the MB for the tomahawk with a adaptor for wifi

#

Wait that's the wrong one

#

I was also advised to go with an A tier PSU from the ltt tierlist

fast dust
#

Looks very solid

wide sparrow
#

Yep

#

Looks good

#

But a techie should maybe confirm it a bit more

keen depot
#

Never can get enough?

fast dust
#

I’m basically a techie and it looks good

#

Jk I’m definitely not a techie

#

Maybe one day that’ll happen tho...

keen depot
#

Maybe

sand falcon
#

I've been nominated as techie. It looks good

keen depot
#

Alright. Thanks for the help

sand falcon
#

I remember there being something with Sapphire cards though... can't remember what

stoic island
#

Motherboard a bit expensive tho

#

Also was out of stock last I checked

fast dust
#

Sapphire cards are gangsta

#

Gang

sand falcon
#

Yeah, it's oos

fast dust
#

Sapphire gang

keen depot
#

Neat

stoic island
#

Also

little osprey
#

I had a Saphhire once.

stoic island
#

Pretty sure there's mobos with wifi for cheaper

little osprey
#

Check Gigas

keen depot
#

Eh

stoic island
#

Like x570 plus wifi

#

For 200$

#

Instead of your 180$ Mobo + 35$ adapter

fast dust
#

Oh wait his mobos $180?

#

I must have read it wrong brainlet

keen depot
#

The tomahawks are 180

stoic island
#

Could also go for x570 tomahawk wifi at 200$ whenever that went back in stock

keen depot
#

How comparable are x570s and b550s

stoic island
#

Same thing, x570 usually with more fancy stuff

#

I think more chipset lanes and that's about it chipset wise

#

Of course board vs board matters more with what's actually on the board other than just the chipset

keen depot
#

I took a look at the comparison on the chipsets

#

There's not a whole lot of differences

#

X570s have better support for PCIE4.0

#

Or wait no

stoic island
#

Oh wait yea chipset runs at 3.0

#

Anything that uses chipset lanes uses 3.0

keen depot
#

Okay so x570s can use 4.0

stoic island
#

Anything directly from CPU used 4.0

keen depot
#

While as b550s can only use 3.0

#

Of course if it's connected to the socket, it can be 4.0

#

Am I getting this right?

stoic island
#

So iirc pcie_1 and m.2_1 can still use 4.0

#

Brb

#

Gotta check

sand falcon
#

b550 should have 4.0, doesn't it?

keen depot
#

They have it for the CPU

#

For connecting the card to it

sand falcon
#

I seem to remember the same Mr1111

stoic island
#

There

#

16 lanes for PCIe 1 usually

#

Plus the 4x for m.2_1

#

All in 4.0

keen depot
#

According to the place these are "general purpose" PCIE slots

stoic island
#

?

keen depot
#

What they mean is there is no PCIE 4.0 to the chipset

#

I think

#

There is however 4.0 to the socket

stoic island
#

Ye

#

16x goes to GPU 4x to m.2 and 4x to chipset

#

But chipset runs off 3.0

keen depot
#

So would you suggest going for like the ASUS tuf Wifi?

stoic island
#

Sure why not

#

B550 most out of stock anyways

keen depot
#

Yeah, probably back ordered as well

stoic island
#

X570 plus wifi was in stock when I checked last

keen depot
#

Plus this way I save around 30 bucks

#

Correction

#

15

latent ridge
#

got a new ssd. plugged it in and its not in disk management. not even as unallocated

#

I keep getting told to format it but everywhere i look tells me to look there to format and its not there. it is however in device management under disk drives but not in disk management

sand falcon
#

I've seen that happen before. Does anyone remember what the fix was?

#

Can you see it in BIOS?

misty heron
#

Hello everyone

stoic island
#

@latent ridge m.2 or sata

#

And what motherboard

latent ridge
#

@sand falcon yes i can see it in bios

#

@stoic island sata

tepid basalt
#

driver issue maybe?

latent ridge
#

b450m pro4 -f

stoic island
#

Wa

#

Nice

buoyant flame
#

Now put some stuff on it

#

Is it finished?

#

Oh nice

#

Good job

#

Maybe get a fog machine

misty heron
#

Is it the tine to start building again or should i wait longer?

little osprey
#

Wait

potent prairie
#

@little osprey Pic from the front?

@misty heron 3000 series GPUs and next gen Ryzen are still coming out this year and prices are still wack. I would wait if you can

little osprey
#

Stock is still horrible too

misty heron
#

Ughhh i just want to play fortnite 😦 my 5 year old budget pc is getting like 40fps :(((

little osprey
#

dam

misty heron
#

Wait it might be 4yo idk

#

Smwhere around there

buoyant flame
#

Whats your budget?

misty heron
#

I have 962rn

little osprey
#

I think my system could get more than that and it's heading for 6 years old

misty heron
#

Im just waiting to get this pc for cheaper

buoyant flame
#

Thats enough for a good budget build

misty heron
#

Oh no my budget i want around 900

#

I already have alot of stuff i wanna reuse

buoyant flame
#

Still, you could get a 1600af and 1660 super in there

misty heron
#

Like monitor storage and perifrrals

buoyant flame
#

Thats good

misty heron
#

Will prices drop drastically after this fiasco is over

#

Or do u think they will be around the same

buoyant flame
#

This is a very capable list

#

144fps easy

potent prairie
#

Should get back to somewhat normal. Like RN $230 mobos are going for $450+

buoyant flame
#

Ya, its weird

misty heron
#

Empty btw

#

Hahaha

buoyant flame
#

Empty?

potent prairie
#

But who knows when this is gonna be over

misty heron
#

Is what i c

buoyant flame
#

Oh what the....

misty heron
#

loll

buoyant flame
misty heron
#

Maybe its on private?

buoyant flame
#

Here ya go

misty heron
#

Of tuff

#

This is the one i was planning for

buoyant flame
#

Wut

buoyant flame
#

Lemme look

little osprey
#

I'd say that first build is a bit light on parts

buoyant flame
#

Wdym? Price wise?

misty heron
#

I dont need storage too and i can get a cheaper case tbh

#

I dont need 650w right? Shouldnt i go for lower too?

buoyant flame
#

Depends on the model. I just chose that one because it was in stock

#

Lemme change some things

misty heron
#

Ohhh right stock is whack rn

#

Along with the prices 😢

fast dust
#

@little osprey I am currently in the process of judging your cables

misty heron
#

I can try to go finess a microcenter near me if thats good

little osprey
#

😮

misty heron
#

Btw how did u make a budget px that fast that was insane

buoyant flame
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

misty heron
#

Empty btw

buoyant flame
#

I did it again lmao

misty heron
#

Hahah

buoyant flame
#

This is the best I can do rn. I'm so tired

misty heron
#

How r u doing that so fast

#

Dangg

buoyant flame
#

Idk I do it a lot

#

Muscle memory

misty heron
#

I can make it under 900 tho

#

Cos i dont need that storage cause i have like 3 disks already

#

Hehe

fast dust
#

You should sleep Egg

buoyant flame
#

Well the list you made is decent, psu is a little cheap for my liking. Also I chose that m.2 because its a lot better lol

#

Ik...

fast dust
#

We don’t want ur brain bugging out on us

buoyant flame
#

I'm about to

fast dust
#

We only want the best for you love_it

buoyant flame
#

I just need to finis...

misty heron
#

Hes dead

#

Lmao sleepy at 1040pm like same

buoyant flame
#

I woke up at 6:30

#

Took the SAT today

misty heron
#

Ooh rip

#

Wait how

#

They still let u?

buoyant flame
#

Yep

#

Sadly lmao

misty heron
#

Rip my free one got cancelled 😦

#

I got played

buoyant flame
#

Sad

misty heron
#

Smh

#

Wait why is m.2 better

#

Than my current drives? And should i put windows on it or just put games on it

buoyant flame
#

Faster read and write speeds, dram, higher terabytes written

tepid basalt
#

fastest drive should store windows

potent prairie
#

M.2 can be faster than sata, tho there are sata SSDs in a m.2 form factor

buoyant flame
#

Ya

tepid basalt
#

I can barely feel the difference between putting game on hdd and ssd

buoyant flame
#

Well, you got some other helpers now so imma go to bed

misty heron
#

Ughhhh that means i have to install windows and get another free key :((

#

Okay ty for help :Ddd

buoyant flame
misty heron
#

Karozy do u live here

#

I seen u in the discord last time i was here too hahaha

tepid basalt
#

hmm nah

misty heron
#

Windows downlod takes so long tho ughhh

tepid basalt
#

this is just my 2nd most active server

misty heron
#

Whattt fr

#

Hmm okay so if i just scrap the m.2 would i notice a performance diff??

fast dust
#

Well you want an SSD as a boot drive

#

A hard drive with windows on it makes it sloooooooow

#

Slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter

misty heron
#

Yeah i have an ssd

#

Im currently using a this thing

#

For my boot thingy

fast dust
#

Yuck

#

I forget if that one has DRAM

misty heron
#

Would i notice a diff for my games if i used that over m.2

fast dust
#

You want DRAM in boot SSDs

#

I’d say it’s worth it to switch to a better SSD

#

That Teamgroup MP34 is a good choice

misty heron
#

But do i need for more fps?

#

Cause i only want fps if it doesnt add then i dont want

#

To save more money 😄

fast dust
#

No just faster boot times and longer lifespan maybe

#

DRAMless SSDs can get slower than hard drives when they get filled up

misty heron
#

Hmmm

#

But what if i have like 2 ssds and 1 hdd like i do rn

fast dust
#

What is your second SSD?

misty heron
#

So the first one i sent was for windows and file storage like the default path/%appdata%

#

And this ones for fortnite and valorant

fast dust
#

The MX500 will work way way better as a boot drive

misty heron
#

But fn is such a fat file

fast dust
#

You should have your Adata SSD as your second drive

misty heron
#

Dart?

fast dust
#

Oops

misty heron
#

Yeah when i first got this computer i had the adata ssd

fast dust
#

You’re losing a lot of potential from the MX500

misty heron
#

I recently bought the mx500 bc fn was so fat

#

So i should switch it right?

#

Like boot from mx and put fn and valorant on the adata?

potent prairie
#

Yeah, that would be a good idea

fast dust
#

Yes put Mx500 as boot drive

misty heron
#

How would i do thay

#

Just go into bios

#

And switch it?

fast dust
#

You can also store games on the MX500 as well as windows. It doesn’t trace to be just for boot

misty heron
#

Should i put valorant or fn on the mx?

fast dust
#

No you’d have to transfer windows... do a while clean install maybe

#

As a secondary drive it does not need DRAM to be fast so you can do whatever you want

misty heron
#

Yoo that guy has my drive too

#

Should i look at that video?

fast dust
#

Uh yeah

misty heron
#

Then do i go into bios after that?

fast dust
#

Or look up “how to transfer windows to a new drive” or something along those lines

#

Yes then go into bios

#

Just watch the video he should go over it

trail storm
#

NZXT Kraken Z Series Z73 360mm

  • DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm MACUBE 310??😩
misty heron
#

Okay i will do tmrw while im mowing the lawn

#

Yony im too dumb to understand

fast dust
#

I don’t understand what he’s saying

#

Is that an AIO + some deepcool case?

misty heron
#

Wait so basically transfer windows over and put games where i want?

fast dust
#

Pretty much

trail storm
#

Does that cabinet measure up to that refrigeration?

misty heron
#

Hmmm

#

Which one would give more fps

#

The adata or mx

fast dust
#

When you have windows on the MX500 they should be the same

#

FPS wise

misty heron
#

Then should i still opt for a m.2?

#

Since fps will be same for that too?

trail storm
#

I need a suggestion of a cabinet with that refrigeration

fast dust
#

Nope your MX500 is plenty

next kestrel
#

fps isnt affected by storage

#

only boot times

misty heron
#

Yay so that build from the other guy can be under 900$ miahhaha

next kestrel
#

so if you're onetricking in overwatch

misty heron
#

NO FORTNITE

next kestrel
#

intel optane 🙂

#

jk

misty heron
#

Onetrick FORTNITE

next kestrel
#

but yeah fortnite shouldnt matter

fast dust
#

I mean if you have a slow hard drive vs a fast SSD FPS is gonna be raised on the SSD obvi

misty heron
#

Now i pray i get 144fps

next kestrel
#

you have plenty of time

misty heron
#

The turneys dont start yet right

next kestrel
#

wait i thought storage didnt affect fps?

misty heron
#

Ssd vs m.2 vs hdd

#

M.2 and ssd r same is what im understanding

next kestrel
#

M.2 is a form factor of ssd

fast dust
#

@misty heron this will increase FPS by like one or two FPS. It’s doesn’t really matter about the FPS, this is just a much better config

#

@next kestrel storage definitely affects FPS. Usually not dramatically tho

misty heron
#

Wait so transfering will do the thing mentioned previously

#

Above*

still roostBOT
#
2rsfrs#0169 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

misty heron
#

Oops

next kestrel
#

apparently only by very little

fast dust
#

Dang

misty heron
#

But 1 or 2 fps

#

Is a lot for someone who is only getting 40

fast dust
#

This should affect load times a lot though

#

Load times should be a bit faster

misty heron
#

Peep the first build tho

fast dust
#

Yikes an Athlon X4 and Integrated graphics?!

misty heron
#

Current video card is a 1050 mini

#

Sorry for misunderstanding hahaha

#

My original was some sapphire thing

#

That i destroyed because i oc it and it went boom

#

Very sad day

#

But im pretty sure the 1050 mini is better

#

Sapphire radeon thingy

fast dust
#

1050 isn’t the worst thing ever but it’s definitely not going to hold up much longer

misty heron
#

Yeah its like 6 maybe 7 yo

#

Cause i bought it used from my friend

#

Thats why im asking if i should build rn or wait a bit longer for prices to drop

#

Idk howmuch they are going to drop but im hoping its a small chunk

fast dust
#

Yeah should drop a bit so I’d say wait

#

I’m waiting to upgrade to a 1660 super

next kestrel
#

if you can find a used rx 580 for 100

#

or a 1060 for around 120

misty heron
#

I was planning on getting a 2070super

fast dust
#

No 1060s are overpriced

next kestrel
#

could be a decent upgrade

#

really?

misty heron
#

For garunteed 144fps

next kestrel
#

i got one for 110

fast dust
#

What graphics card do you have now 2rsfrs

#

I mean CPU

misty heron
#

Where would i aquire a used thingy

#

Cou is same

fast dust
#

What CPU do you have

misty heron
#

Cpu is same

#

Its the x4

fast dust
#

Athlon X4?

misty heron
#

Yes

next kestrel
#

2070 super with the athlon oh no no

misty heron
#

Nonono

little osprey
#

oh no

next kestrel
#

yeah you also need a new cpu

fast dust
#

NO NO NO Don’t you dare pair a 2070 super with that

misty heron
#

I was planning to create a new thing altogether

#

Stopp

next kestrel
#

yes there we go

misty heron
#

It was planning to buidld this

fast dust
#

You still won’t get 144 FPS with a 2070 s and that CPU

#

You need a CPU upgrade

misty heron
#

Hahahha ik

#

Then bc i need cpu upgrade my mb has to upgrade

next kestrel
#

3300x :))

misty heron
#

Then i need ram to finally start streaming cause im not even that bad at fn

fast dust
#

Okay that’s a decent build but for the love of god don’t pair that power supply with a build that expensive

misty heron
#

Is it bad

fast dust
#

Get a CX. Not a CV

next kestrel
#

also you could get better ram

#

or cheaper

fast dust
#

CV is okay but for a system that expensive it’s not okay. It becomes bad

#

CV would be fine with a low end build with like an RX 470 or something

misty heron
#

How much watts do u recommend

#

And what ram would be cheaper and better?

#

Im trying to get this under 900 hahaha

fast dust
#

A CX550 or CX650 would be good

#

I don’t think you’re gonna get a 2070 super under $900...

misty heron
#

Hmm

fast dust
#

2060 KO would be a good chili example

misty heron
#

I agreep

fast dust
#

Omg

#

*choice

misty heron
#

Or how about 5700xt

next kestrel
misty heron
#

Hahaha chilli

fast dust
#

5700 XT would be better

#

I mean not better but better for cost

next kestrel
#

around 950 with better psu

next kestrel
#

if you want gaming perf def get the 3300x over the 3600

little osprey
#

Backorder 3-8 days

misty heron
#

Oof

stoic island
#

590$

#

kinda high

next kestrel
#

that looks super nice tho

misty heron
#

Oh heyyy 111

stoic island
#

even for a good card

#

hey

misty heron
#

U were here too

#

When i was here like last month

stoic island
#

ye

misty heron
#

Im back at it again hahha

little osprey
#

1111 is always here

#

Always watching

misty heron
#

He lives here

stoic island
#

yes

misty heron
#

Nova whats a backorder

#

Where can i get used gpus for cheaper?

next kestrel
#

offerup/craigslist/fb marketplace

#

but if you want a 2070 super just get it new

#

dont risk it with that much money

misty heron
#

Ok

#

Rnt there deals with the amd cpus and mbs?

#

I should just get one of those at a microcenter

#

So itll be cheaper

little osprey
#

backorder just means it's not in stock, but it's expected to be, so you can order it.

misty heron
#

Ohhh

next kestrel
#

yes, once 3300x comes back in stock, grab it from a MC

misty heron
#

@next kestrel why would that ram be better? Its 3000 while the current one im planning to get is 3200

#

Is 3300x better than 3600?

#

Would 2060 super be able to stream 144fps ?

#

I have so many questions

fast dust
#

Yes 2060 would work totally fine

#

Especially for fortnite

misty heron
#

144?

fast dust
#

I bet a 1660 super would get 144 FPS fortnite ez

misty heron
#

Really?

fast dust
#

So a 2060 would be better

misty heron
#

So what why not just get a 1660

fast dust
#

I mean my RX 570 gets like 90 FPS and it’s a low end card kinda

#

I bet on a 1660 super it’d be cutting it close

misty heron
#

And 2060 is garunteed?

misty heron
#

If so i can replace the 2070 super and get 2060 super and its under 900!!!

fast dust
#

Yep

misty heron
#

Wait with oc?

fast dust
#

Or a 2060 KO if you wanna save even more

misty heron
#

Cause im not trying to do that again

#

Ko?

fast dust
#

No no OC

misty heron
#

Oh no

#

Last time i tried it my gpu broke

#

Im scared

fast dust
#

2060 KO is basically a 2060 missing a few things for a reduced price but it’s still good for gaming

#

You won’t need to overclock

little osprey
#

2070 super is such a bad card

misty heron
#

Okay

little osprey
#

Uhh, what?

#

lolz

misty heron
#

Nah i can afford a 2060 super

fast dust
#

2070 super is great wdym

misty heron
#

Cause its under 900 :Ddd

little osprey
#

i’m kidding i built my first pc with a 2070 super

#

today

fast dust
#

Oh phew

little osprey
#

make sure you have a good cpu tho

fast dust
#

Oh yeah how did it go?

#

little osprey
#

fast dust
#

Alright man!

misty heron
#

Muhahahah

fast dust
#

Good stuff!

misty heron
#

Under 900

#

I really dont want to reinstall windows

little osprey
#

yea my total build was 1.3k

misty heron
#

Do i have to tho if im reusing storage

fast dust
#

Yeah I would reinstall windows

misty heron
#

UGHHHHHHHHHH

fast dust
#

Actually yeah you need to when switching hardware

misty heron
#

Do u know any free keys that work

#

Its been a few years

fast dust
#

Not free

little osprey
#

i have no usb so i can’t download windows

fast dust
#

You can’t just get activated windows for free

little osprey
#

i have a running pc but screen says select boot device

misty heron
#

Not activated

little osprey
#

Free? No. Less than $5.00, yes

#

it’ll have a watermark

fast dust
#

Not activated is free

misty heron
#

That bootleg version where it has the watermark

#

Ik

#

I have that currently

#

I dont mind the watermark

fast dust
#

Yo can get a cheap key for <$4 tho

misty heron
#

Wait srsly?

#

From where??

little osprey
#

I paid like $2 for my last one.

fast dust
#

eBay

misty heron
#

What????

fast dust
#

Yeah I paid $2 for my last one too

misty heron
#

Wtf??

fast dust
#

Yeah just look on eBay and keys are sold for mega cheap

misty heron
#

So ive been wasting my life

#

With this free version

#

When i couldve just gotten a key for like 4 dollars??

fast dust
#

Yep you’ve been missing out

misty heron
#

Wtf

#

I mean like

#

I dont customize my computer anyway

#

So do i really need to

#

These look sketchy af

fast dust
#

They do definitely look sketchy

#

But they work so

misty heron
#

Should i buy that ahead of time

little osprey
#

I just bought one a few weeks ago

potent prairie
#

I wouldn;t

misty heron
#

Why not

potent prairie
#

Return policies don't last forever

little osprey
#

They send you the code in about 30 seconds

fast dust
#

Yeah buy it when you are building

misty heron
#

So i should buy when i get my pc and windows installed?

fast dust
#

Yes

potent prairie
#

Make sure the seller you buy from has some reviews

misty heron
#

Ok so i should save my 15 gift card from swagbucks for this then

#

Muhahahah

fast dust
#

Lmao sure

potent prairie
#

Why not

misty heron
#

Its like im not even using money :sd

fast dust
#

Swagbucks

misty heron
#

Oh wait but its uneven

#

I can put it into my steam account and get a csgo knife tho

#

Hmm

#

So many options

#

But im too poor for a knfie

#

And im only silver

#

Hmm

fast dust
#

CSGO knife or activated windows? 0_o

misty heron
#

Hmm

#

15$ toward knife or 5 dollars for windows

#

Then buy mcdonalds with other 10 dollars

finite pier
#

I’m sure this has already been discussed but I just found out this server existed so, what’s everyones opinion on Intel 10th Gen?

misty heron
#

Idk i dont build like these pros

#

My opinions dont matter 🤧

little osprey
#

It's a bit overpriced for a personal heater

finite pier
#

Lmao, the exact response i was expecting

#

I like it here

fast dust
#

Good for gaming. Big price. Big heat. Bad for everything but gaming

finite pier
#

yes

fast dust
#

Yeah that mobo will work

wary geode
#

1300x or 9100f

little osprey
#

I game and still don't want it

misty heron
#

Oooooh 40 more dollars saved

wary geode
#

Yes yams

fast dust
#

But it’s kind of a cheap mobo

#

What popping Prism

misty heron
#

What would that do ?

wary geode
#

Hey was up

#

Lol tryna figure out if the 9100f is worse than the 1300x

fast dust
#

@misty heron just means you might now be able to upgrade to a more powerful CPU in the fiture

#

I’d think 1300X would be a little better

misty heron
#

Nahhh no more upgrading

wary geode
#

Yes

misty heron
#

Too expensive for me hahaha

wary geode
#

I agree

fast dust
#

And intel boards are usually a little more pricey than AMD

wary geode
#

Yes

misty heron
#

Or keep it 70dollars

fast dust
#

If you can I would

wary geode
#

But no

misty heron
#

For maximum cheapness

wary geode
#

Get the b550

fast dust
#

Tomahawk is a lot better

finite pier
#

agreed

wary geode
#

Depends

misty heron
#

Too expensive 😖

fast dust
#

B550 kinda has an iffy spot in the market imo

misty heron
#

900 budget and i finally made it

wary geode
#

Bro mirco center really do be having b550 for 115

fast dust
#

o_0

#

That’s kinda cheap tho

wary geode
#

Gonna cop one tomo for myself

finite pier
#

wish i had a micro center near me

misty heron
#

It is 881.91 rn

wary geode
#

Im getting a stell legends maybe

fast dust
#

YES STEEL LEGEND

#

STEEL LEGEND GANG

wary geode
#

I’ll send a pic of mirco center tomo

misty heron
#

Then with the windows key off of ebay my completed build will be 885 basically

wary geode
#

Yes

misty heron
#

Muhahaha its all falling into place

wary geode
#

Yams is so happy I’m thinking of asrock

Idk that’s just how I usually say “you’re welcome” to someone

misty heron
#

U have mc near u?

wary geode
#

Yep 2 of em

#

🙂

misty heron
#

Okay so how do i know if everything i want is in stock

wary geode
#

Just go to the georgia Ones perfer if it’s deulth

#

And look for the items

misty heron
#

What?

wary geode
#

I can buy and ship to people

fast dust
#

I say “no problem my man” and then try my best to say something that makes them feel special

finite pier
#

Opinions on this monitor and its lesser 75hz versions? Acer KG271 Cbmidpx 27" Full HD 1920 x 1080 144Hz 1ms DVI HDMI DisplayPort AMD FreeSync Technology Built-in Speakers Backlit LED Gaming Monitor https://www.newegg.com/product/9SIA2F873V9976

misty heron
#

Lol i did feel special 😉

fast dust
#

Well you are special

little osprey
#

I'm not a fan of Acer's quality

#

Especially in regards to monitors

severe bloom
#

@wary geode I used to live near that store a long time ago

misty heron
#

Wait i can go to mc and get one of the deals right

fast dust
#

@finite pier that’s crazy overpriced. I got my 165Hz 1080p Acer monitor for $140 (refurbished tho)
Even then they should only be around $200

misty heron
#

And then I save even MORE MONEY

wary geode
#

Yes

#

Yes @severe bloom I love that place lol

misty heron
#

Oh man what do i get tho

fast dust
#

@little osprey I have an Acer 165Hz monitor and it’s great. So far seems like very good quality

wary geode
#

Yep

misty heron
#

There r so many options

finite pier
#

Ye @fast dust It was at 200 but prices have been fluctuating

severe bloom
#

The Duluth store was always so much better than the Marietta store

fast dust
#

Oh

little osprey
#

I think every client I ever had that got Acer hated them.

#

Light bleed, faded, etc

misty heron
#

@wary geode can u recommend me one

#

That goes well with a 3600

wary geode
#

Yeah I agree the Marietta is so confined

#

Sure 2rs

finite pier
#

That’s disappointing but idk what else i should get @little osprey

#

For about 200 a monitor

little osprey
#

THat price is the real trick yeah

fast dust
#

MSI has some good 144Hz monitors around that price iirc

finite pier
#

I’ll check some out real quick

fast dust
#

Toast also look at refurbished stuff. That might be the play right now

misty heron
#

Im so glad i have a mc near me

wary geode
#

Yams which one to go with 3600

#

@fast dust

#

@misty heron

misty heron
#

Yes

#

Hi

#

Im here

wary geode
#

Listen to him he’s smart

misty heron
#

I know

#

He has been helping me for like an hr hahaha

fast dust
#

Depends on your budget

wary geode
#

😂 Im lazy to think

fast dust
#

Wait are you saying I’m smart?

misty heron
#

900 both of them fit i think

wary geode
#

It’s for 2rs

#

Yes but I lazy

little osprey
#

Let's not get hasty now

misty heron
#

Yup both of those fir

wary geode
#

Im only good for airflow case local deals and gpu and how to burn a motherboard 101

misty heron
#

Fit

fast dust
#

Okay wait let me get this straight. You’re saying that I’m smart? Im not misunderstanding anything?

wary geode
#

Yes

misty heron
#

Yes

wary geode
#

Yes

jagged ember
#

Depends on the form factor you want, also

misty heron
#

❤️

fast dust
#

O:

little osprey
#

You have confused the Yams

wary geode
#

Yes

misty heron
#

:^D

fast dust
#

Aww thanks man

jagged ember
#

mATX is kind of a weird form factor right now

fast dust
#

That’s really kind of you guys

#

I like MATX

jagged ember
#

Me also

wary geode
#

Yams and I have been taking for a while and he knows a fair bit more than me maybe lol

jagged ember
#

My build is full mATX size

misty heron
#

I should just kidnap yams and keep him in my basement for when i need pc help

wary geode
#

Took me weeks to replace thermal paste on gpu lol

jagged ember
#

'full'

fast dust
jagged ember
#

It's not as easy to work in, that's for sure

wary geode
#

Ahh I’ll capture albert the flamingo form him

misty heron
#

Wait gpus dont have thermal paste ?

wary geode
#

They do

misty heron
#

Wattttt

#

Crzy

wary geode
#

I had to open and replace because I buy used

misty heron
#

Okay so yams which mb should i get for a 3600?

wary geode
#

Hence why I have a 1060 lol

#

@fast dust

fast dust
#

I really am thankful you guys are saying that I’m smart. 😊
But I’m nothing compared to some of the techies here

wary geode
#

He’s a 2nd tier nerd

little osprey
#

Easily the smartest yam I know

fast dust
#

Okay motherboard aren’t my biggest expertise

jagged ember
#

Ehhh

#

Can't check the mobo list on ltt forums

wary geode
#

The pro4 seems better just cause it doesn’t have color scheme and looks to say they have the same vram

fast dust
#

But I’m gonna guess the Gaming Plus Max is a little better quality.
The VDH looks like an entry level thing

wary geode
#

Yes

fast dust
#

VRMS on VDH look a little cheap

misty heron
#

What

#

Wait

#

So which one do i get?

fast dust
#

If you can spend more go with the Gaming Plus

wary geode
#

Just cause it seems better for the price

fast dust
#

Both of them are MSI Prism...

wary geode
#

Huh

misty heron
#

Pro or gaming plus

wary geode
#

Gaming plus

#

Definitely didn’t delete my messages and didn’t think I was dumb

#

Gaming plus more money no money pro

fast dust
wary geode
#

Yes yams I take over I shall get golden

fast dust
#

Careful you might get a duplicated text warning from Weggbot

misty heron
#

Oh ok

fast dust
#

Nah I was talking to DuckHawk

#

And sometimes things aren’t always shown on PCPP. That’s okay

misty heron
#

How can i save it for my build then?

#

Is there a way on microcenter cause thats where im buying everything

#

@fast dust

#

Muhahahah with a single at sign i can summon people to answer my questions

fast dust
#

Micro center prices are usually just cheap

#

And when you buy a compatible CPU with your mobo they give you $20 off

misty heron
#

Yea but like how would i save the list to go and get it

#

I searched up the closest microcenter and it said 1hr 30 mins and i freaked

#

My soul left my body

#

Then it said walking

fast dust
#

Oh just bookmark the link

#

I’m not sure I’m understanding you correctly so correct me if I give you a weird answer

#

I’m getting really tired

misty heron

misty heron
#

#

I need to start chatting in this channel more

stoic island
#

ikr

#

builds are fun

fast dust
#

Mr1 for techie

stoic island
#

more fun on pc tho

misty heron
#

Wait 3600 for 1 more dollar or 3200 and save 1 dollar?

little osprey
#

I really want to get that sim

misty heron
#

For ram

fast dust
#

3600

#

Why not

stoic island
#

lol

misty heron
fast dust
#

And you’ll see a difference in gaming compared to 3200

stoic island
#

until I readthemanual I don't get techie

misty heron
#

U see that right?

stoic island
#

go 3200cl16

misty heron
#

Wy

stoic island
#

3600cl19<3200cl16

#

3600cl18=3200cl16 in pure latency

fast dust
#

Oh yeah that’s CL19

misty heron
#

I dont understand

stoic island
#

wheres the chart

fast dust
#

Lower CL = better

stoic island
#

brb

misty heron
#

Which price is it

stoic island
fast dust
#

Speed doesn’t mean everything in ram @misty heron

#

Cas Latency is a part too

misty heron
#

No which price is it

#

The numbers in the name mess me up hahah

stoic island
misty heron
#

3200 so the 65.99?

sudden ledge
#

Can you ask for help in this area?

stoic island
#

ye

#

why not

misty heron
#

Kk

little osprey
#

no get rgb cl16 3200 for better performance

misty heron
#

Should i order the parts online if they dont have in microcenter

sudden ledge
#

alright so, i wanted to get a 2060 so around 300 at bestbuy, but they were out of stock, and amazon was aswell, so..

#

i bought a refurb gtx 1080 from ebay

stoic island
#

@inland atlas Don't forget latency too

little osprey
sudden ledge
#

big mistake?

stoic island
#

thats 3200cl15

little osprey
#

yeah newegg prob had it

misty heron
#

Have what

stoic island
#

refurb ain't too bad

misty heron
#

Oh

#

Nvm

stoic island
#

@sudden ledge what seller

misty heron
#

Okay so should i buy it online if i dont c it in the microcenter near me?

stoic island
#

3200cl16 is

#

But in that video

misty heron
#

Like wherever pcpartpicker recommends?

stoic island
#

it was 3200cl15 vs 3600cl16

#

the usual argument is 3200cl16 vs 3600cl16

#

and not the b die latency of 16-16-16-36

#

but more 16-18-18-38/16-19-19-39

little osprey
#

Always double check pcpp pricing. I've discovered it can be recommending the wrong place for price, big time

misty heron
#

So how would i do that

#

Manually check the websites?

little osprey
#

you can click the cog and select a different store

stoic island
#

and as you can tell, the only cl15 kits I can find are those with low asf timings

little osprey
#

I' e had a few parts where it was recommending a place that had a part over $500 more expensive.

stoic island
#

now THAT is an unfair comparison on the basis of just frequency

little osprey
#

So much white...

misty heron
#

So where should i check nova

#

Microcenter then where

stoic island
#

ok i'm done

little osprey
#

Micro, Ama, Newegg are what I usually check

misty heron
#

Microcenter is only good for cou mobo combo

little osprey
#

Except there's no Micro anywhere near me

stoic island
#

Microcenter is really good with combos

misty heron
#

Thats all im buying from there and ig the rest is online

little osprey
#

I on,y really trust Newegg with Ama as a back up.

misty heron
#

What abt amazon

little osprey
#

There can be some pretty big price differences between just those two

#

Ama = Amazon

misty heron
#

Ohh

#

Ooh i can get smthing at best buy muhahah

#

@stoic island

#

Is this worthy of being a budget pc

#

Except the mobo is replaced with smthing from MC since its cheaper

stoic island
#

500$ 2060 super lol

fast dust
#

Yeah you too

crude otter
#

I was thinking that, just didnt know how the others stacked since the corsair will be a back order

fast dust
#

The reason it’s backorder is because it’s so good

severe bloom
#

Check on Corsairs site, I ordered my psu directly from them and it shipped 2 days later, granted UPS was slow as heck and took 7 days to arrive after it shipped

crude otter
#

Better than 10 day backorder, will check on it thnx

#

And back out of stock lol

#

I'll just backorder it through newegg
