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.
Cool. Probably gonna use that then, and shave 40 bucks off the price
You are looking at USD for currency, right?
yes
Okay
At this budget, AMD
which amd chip should I get for this budget? Ryzen 5?
How much harddrive/ssd space are you looking at?
I'd go with the ryzen 5 3600
should I get 16gb in ram and which brand would you recommend?
16GB ram, 3200MHZ CL 16
Now, I am not too sure about the graphics card. I like Nvida, but they usually cost alot
AMD should work if you're just gaming
so an AMD graphics card?
Yeah
oh okay good. I am looking at those for awhile
CPU
GPU
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RyTzTC
Here's a decent starting place.
I would get a better psu
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
Ah okay. Thanks for the recommendation.
Corsair RMx if you can swing it. For the Vid Gigabyte 1650S or 1660S
Unless you need the extra 4gb VRAM. 1650 uses less power and is generally a little more stable, but it is only $5 cheaper so if you want a little future-proofing you actually could go for the 580.
If you get a 1650 super you might be able to get a power supply with less wattage though, which can save you money or get you better quality.
@bright notch
So the choice is really:
1650 super = newer, more power efficient, slightly cheaper
RX 580 = more VRAM, older, less power efficient, less stable
I do like the idea of power efficiency and stability.
I’m a 1650 super guy as I find that I don’t need the extra VRAM
What do yam mean?
lol that's pretty funny
but yea, I probably get the 1650 cuz I don't need the extra vram.
when is the b450 aorus elite gonna be back in stock?
No idea
When things are gonna be back in stock we don’t know
That’s something we can guess, but not know usually
how long has it been out of stock for?
Idk I haven’t been watching it
its the last thing i need for my pc
Why don’t you get a different B450?
the other one i was gonna get is also out of stock lol
do you have a budget for your motherboard, I know the b550 elite is available
The B450 Tomahawk is in stock last one I checked. But that was a week or so ago so idk if it’s still in stock
yeah tomahawk isnt rn
Wow
uh, not really a budget, but i was looking to keep it under 150$
Yeah so many mobos are OOS right now because of the virus
quite unlucky
If steel legend or pro4 board are in stock for decent prices there pretty good.
my guess is it will be back in stock in july at some time knowing that things are opening back up
I mean unless you have a Ryzen 9 or are planning to be doing some crazy overclocking
nope, just a 3600
Yeah so even some lower end b450s would be fine
i guess the best thing to really do right now is to be patient and wait for it to be back in stock
Unless you’re planning on overclocking or upgrading to a 95w+ TDP CPU later on
Yeah patience is key
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
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
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
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.
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
Lmao thanks for changing your name
Smart move lol
Awesome bike fender 
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 $2000 on.
I laughed when i saw his original name...i had a big what moment
Lol
Good FPS lmao. Idk. It’ll run very very good at 1080p, 1440p, and even pretty decent at 4I if you’re into that
awesome, i appreciate the help. Thanks for changing it to awesome bike fender i appreciate it.
I know nothing...
Alright, I've done a confirmation from reddit, and some people told me if I plan to upgrade go with a better PSU
Also to change out the MB for the tomahawk with a adaptor for wifi
Wait that's the wrong one
I was also advised to go with an A tier PSU from the ltt tierlist
Looks very solid
Never can get enough?
I’m basically a techie and it looks good
Jk I’m definitely not a techie
Maybe one day that’ll happen tho...
Maybe
I've been nominated as techie. It looks good
Alright. Thanks for the help
I remember there being something with Sapphire cards though... can't remember what
Yeah, it's oos
Sapphire gang
Neat
Also
I had a Saphhire once.
Pretty sure there's mobos with wifi for cheaper
Check Gigas
Eh
The tomahawks are 180
Could also go for x570 tomahawk wifi at 200$ whenever that went back in stock
How comparable are x570s and b550s
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
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
Okay so x570s can use 4.0
Anything directly from CPU used 4.0
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?
b550 should have 4.0, doesn't it?
I seem to remember the same Mr1111
According to the place these are "general purpose" PCIE slots
?
What they mean is there is no PCIE 4.0 to the chipset
I think
There is however 4.0 to the socket
So would you suggest going for like the ASUS tuf Wifi?
Yeah, probably back ordered as well
X570 plus wifi was in stock when I checked last
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
I've seen that happen before. Does anyone remember what the fix was?
Can you see it in BIOS?
Hello everyone
driver issue maybe?
b450m pro4 -f
Now put some stuff on it
Is it finished?
Oh nice
Good job
Maybe get a fog machine

Is it the tine to start building again or should i wait longer?
Wait
@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
Stock is still horrible too
Ughhh i just want to play fortnite 😦 my 5 year old budget pc is getting like 40fps :(((
dam
Whats your budget?
I have 962rn
I think my system could get more than that and it's heading for 6 years old
Im just waiting to get this pc for cheaper
Thats enough for a good budget build
Still, you could get a 1600af and 1660 super in there
Like monitor storage and perifrrals
Thats good
Will prices drop drastically after this fiasco is over
Or do u think they will be around the same
Should get back to somewhat normal. Like RN $230 mobos are going for $450+
Ya, its weird
Empty?
But who knows when this is gonna be over
Oh what the....
loll
Maybe its on private?
Here ya go
Wut
Lemme look
I'd say that first build is a bit light on parts
Wdym? Price wise?
I dont need storage too and i can get a cheaper case tbh
I dont need 650w right? Shouldnt i go for lower too?
Depends on the model. I just chose that one because it was in stock
Lemme change some things
@little osprey I am currently in the process of judging your cables
I can try to go finess a microcenter near me if thats good
😮
Btw how did u make a budget px that fast that was insane
Empty btw
Hahah
This is the best I can do rn. I'm so tired
I can make it under 900 tho
Cos i dont need that storage cause i have like 3 disks already
Hehe
You should sleep Egg
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...
We don’t want ur brain bugging out on us
I'm about to
We only want the best for you 
Sad
Smh
Wait why is m.2 better
Than my current drives? And should i put windows on it or just put games on it
Faster read and write speeds, dram, higher terabytes written
fastest drive should store windows
M.2 can be faster than sata, tho there are sata SSDs in a m.2 form factor
Ya
I can barely feel the difference between putting game on hdd and ssd
Well, you got some other helpers now so imma go to bed
Ughhhh that means i have to install windows and get another free key :((
Okay ty for help :Ddd

hmm nah
Windows downlod takes so long tho ughhh
this is just my 2nd most active server
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
Would i notice a diff for my games if i used that over m.2
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
But do i need for more fps?
Cause i only want fps if it doesnt add then i dont want
To save more money 😄
No just faster boot times and longer lifespan maybe
DRAMless SSDs can get slower than hard drives when they get filled up
What is your second SSD?
So the first one i sent was for windows and file storage like the default path/%appdata%
And this ones for fortnite and valorant
The MX500 will work way way better as a boot drive
But fn is such a fat file
You should have your Adata SSD as your second drive
Dart?
Oops
Yeah when i first got this computer i had the adata ssd
You’re losing a lot of potential from the MX500
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?
Yeah, that would be a good idea
Yes put Mx500 as boot drive
You can also store games on the MX500 as well as windows. It doesn’t trace to be just for boot
Should i put valorant or fn on the mx?
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
Uh yeah
Then do i go into bios after that?
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
NZXT Kraken Z Series Z73 360mm
- DEEPCOOL Gamer Storm MACUBE 310??😩
Wait so basically transfer windows over and put games where i want?
Pretty much
Does that cabinet measure up to that refrigeration?
I need a suggestion of a cabinet with that refrigeration
Nope your MX500 is plenty
Yay so that build from the other guy can be under 900$ miahhaha
so if you're onetricking in overwatch
NO FORTNITE
Onetrick FORTNITE
but yeah fortnite shouldnt matter
I mean if you have a slow hard drive vs a fast SSD FPS is gonna be raised on the SSD obvi
Now i pray i get 144fps
you have plenty of time
The turneys dont start yet right
wait i thought storage didnt affect fps?
M.2 is a form factor of ssd
@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
Reason: Bad word usage
Oops
apparently only by very little
Dang
Yikes an Athlon X4 and Integrated graphics?!
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
1050 isn’t the worst thing ever but it’s definitely not going to hold up much longer
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
I was planning on getting a 2070super
No 1060s are overpriced
For garunteed 144fps
i got one for 110
What CPU do you have
Athlon X4?
Yes
2070 super with the athlon oh no no
Nonono
oh no
yeah you also need a new cpu
NO NO NO Don’t you dare pair a 2070 super with that
yes there we go
It was planning to buidld this
3300x :))
Then i need ram to finally start streaming cause im not even that bad at fn
Okay that’s a decent build but for the love of god don’t pair that power supply with a build that expensive
Is it bad
Get a CX. Not a CV
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
How much watts do u recommend
And what ram would be cheaper and better?
Im trying to get this under 900 hahaha
A CX550 or CX650 would be good
I don’t think you’re gonna get a 2070 super under $900...
Hmm
2060 KO would be a good chili example
I agreep
Or how about 5700xt
Hahaha chilli
around 950 with better psu
if you want gaming perf def get the 3300x over the 3600
Backorder 3-8 days
Oof
that looks super nice tho
Oh heyyy 111
ye
Im back at it again hahha
He lives here
yes
offerup/craigslist/fb marketplace
but if you want a 2070 super just get it new
dont risk it with that much money
Ok
Rnt there deals with the amd cpus and mbs?
I should just get one of those at a microcenter
So itll be cheaper
backorder just means it's not in stock, but it's expected to be, so you can order it.
Ohhh
yes, once 3300x comes back in stock, grab it from a MC
@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
144?
I bet a 1660 super would get 144 FPS fortnite ez
Really?
So a 2060 would be better
So what why not just get a 1660
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
And 2060 is garunteed?
If so i can replace the 2070 super and get 2060 super and its under 900!!!
Yep
Wait with oc?
Or a 2060 KO if you wanna save even more
No no OC
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
2070 super is such a bad card
Okay
Nah i can afford a 2060 super
2070 super is great wdym
Cause its under 900 :Ddd
Oh phew
make sure you have a good cpu tho
Alright man!
Good stuff!
yea my total build was 1.3k
Do i have to tho if im reusing storage
Yeah I would reinstall windows
UGHHHHHHHHHH
Actually yeah you need to when switching hardware
Not free
i have no usb so i can’t download windows
You can’t just get activated windows for free
i have a running pc but screen says select boot device
Not activated
Not activated is free
That bootleg version where it has the watermark
Ik
I have that currently
I dont mind the watermark
Yo can get a cheap key for <$4 tho
I paid like $2 for my last one.
eBay
What????
Yeah I paid $2 for my last one too
Wtf??
Yeah just look on eBay and keys are sold for mega cheap
So ive been wasting my life
With this free version
When i couldve just gotten a key for like 4 dollars??
Yep you’ve been missing out
Wtf
I mean like
I dont customize my computer anyway
So do i really need to
These look sketchy af
Should i buy that ahead of time
I just bought one a few weeks ago
I wouldn;t
Why not
Return policies don't last forever
They send you the code in about 30 seconds
Yeah buy it when you are building
So i should buy when i get my pc and windows installed?
Yes
Make sure the seller you buy from has some reviews
Lmao sure
Why not
Its like im not even using money :sd
Swagbucks
Oh wait but its uneven
I can put it into my steam account and get a csgo knife tho
Hmm
So many options
But im too poor for a knfie
And im only silver
Hmm
CSGO knife or activated windows? 0_o
Hmm
15$ toward knife or 5 dollars for windows
Then buy mcdonalds with other 10 dollars
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?
It's a bit overpriced for a personal heater
Good for gaming. Big price. Big heat. Bad for everything but gaming
yes
Yeah that mobo will work
1300x or 9100f
I game and still don't want it
Oooooh 40 more dollars saved
Yes yams
What would that do ?
@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
Nahhh no more upgrading
Yes
Too expensive for me hahaha
I agree
And intel boards are usually a little more pricey than AMD
Yes
Or keep it 70dollars
If you can I would
But no
For maximum cheapness
Get the b550
Tomahawk is a lot better
agreed
Depends
Too expensive 😖
B550 kinda has an iffy spot in the market imo
900 budget and i finally made it
Bro mirco center really do be having b550 for 115
Gonna cop one tomo for myself
wish i had a micro center near me
It is 881.91 rn
Im getting a stell legends maybe
I’ll send a pic of mirco center tomo
Then with the windows key off of ebay my completed build will be 885 basically
Yes
Muhahaha its all falling into place
Yams is so happy I’m thinking of asrock
No problem my man 😉
Take care
That was sus
Oh and how do i know its in stock for mc
You can ping me if you have any more questions
I dont wanna show up and they be like nah we dont got it
@wary geode wdym that was sus
Lol jk I don’t know what I’m sayin
Yeah what if im a girl
@misty heron honestly idk cause I don’t have a micro center close to me
Hehe
Wait duck
Yes
Idk that’s just how I usually say “you’re welcome” to someone
U have mc near u?
Okay so how do i know if everything i want is in stock
What?
I can buy and ship to people
I say “no problem my man” and then try my best to say something that makes them feel special
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
Lol i did feel special 😉
Well you are special
@wary geode I used to live near that store a long time ago
Wait i can go to mc and get one of the deals right
@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
And then I save even MORE MONEY
Oh man what do i get tho
@little osprey I have an Acer 165Hz monitor and it’s great. So far seems like very good quality
Yep
There r so many options
Ye @fast dust It was at 200 but prices have been fluctuating
The Duluth store was always so much better than the Marietta store
Oh
That’s disappointing but idk what else i should get @little osprey
For about 200 a monitor
THat price is the real trick yeah
MSI has some good 144Hz monitors around that price iirc
I’ll check some out real quick
Toast also look at refurbished stuff. That might be the play right now
Im so glad i have a mc near me
Listen to him he’s smart
Depends on your budget
😂 Im lazy to think
Wait are you saying I’m smart?
900 both of them fit i think
Let's not get hasty now
Yup both of those fir
Im only good for airflow case local deals and gpu and how to burn a motherboard 101
Fit
Okay wait let me get this straight. You’re saying that I’m smart? Im not misunderstanding anything?
Yes
Yes
Yes
Depends on the form factor you want, also
❤️
O:
You have confused the Yams
Yes
:^D
Aww thanks man
mATX is kind of a weird form factor right now
Me also
Yams and I have been taking for a while and he knows a fair bit more than me maybe lol
My build is full mATX size
I should just kidnap yams and keep him in my basement for when i need pc help
Took me weeks to replace thermal paste on gpu lol
'full'

It's not as easy to work in, that's for sure
Ahh I’ll capture albert the flamingo form him
Wait gpus dont have thermal paste ?
They do
I had to open and replace because I buy used
Okay so yams which mb should i get for a 3600?
I really am thankful you guys are saying that I’m smart. 😊
But I’m nothing compared to some of the techies here
Easily the smartest yam I know
Okay motherboard aren’t my biggest expertise
The pro4 seems better just cause it doesn’t have color scheme and looks to say they have the same vram
But I’m gonna guess the Gaming Plus Max is a little better quality.
The VDH looks like an entry level thing
Yes
VRMS on VDH look a little cheap
If you can spend more go with the Gaming Plus
Just cause it seems better for the price
Both of them are MSI Prism...
Huh
Pro or gaming plus
Gaming plus
Definitely didn’t delete my messages and didn’t think I was dumb
Gaming plus more money no money pro

Yes yams I take over I shall get golden

🙂
I’ll talk later any questions direct to yammmmmmmmmd
yammmmmmmd
Oops
Careful you might get a duplicated text warning from Weggbot
Oh ok
Nah I was talking to DuckHawk
And sometimes things aren’t always shown on PCPP. That’s okay
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
Micro center prices are usually just cheap
And when you buy a compatible CPU with your mobo they give you $20 off
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
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
Mhm
I’ve been the passenger of this car for like 3 hours
Rip
My legs hurt and my eyes are tired
Okay i will bookmark
RiP Yams 06/20
There’s like 1 and a half hour left of the ride
I’m just killing time talking to you special people and rapidly blinking
The year is 20
I’m going on a trip up to my grandparents
Thats cool
Who live 5 hours away
But being on this trip has made me realize that I really like helping you guys with your builds
I need to start chatting in this channel more
Mr1 for techie
more fun on pc tho
Wait 3600 for 1 more dollar or 3200 and save 1 dollar?
I really want to get that sim
For ram
lol
And you’ll see a difference in gaming compared to 3200
until I
I don't get techie
U see that right?
go 3200cl16
Wy
Oh yeah that’s CL19
I dont understand
wheres the chart
Lower CL = better
brb
Which price is it
3200cl16 and 3600cl19
3200 so the 65.99?
Can you ask for help in this area?
Kk
no get rgb cl16 3200 for better performance
Should i order the parts online if they dont have in microcenter
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
@inland atlas Don't forget latency too
big mistake?
thats 3200cl15
yeah newegg prob had it
Have what
refurb ain't too bad
@sudden ledge what seller
Okay so should i buy it online if i dont c it in the microcenter near me?
Like wherever pcpartpicker recommends?
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
Always double check pcpp pricing. I've discovered it can be recommending the wrong place for price, big time
you can click the cog and select a different store
and as you can tell, the only cl15 kits I can find are those with low asf timings
I' e had a few parts where it was recommending a place that had a part over $500 more expensive.
compare that to the usual 3600cl16 kits
now THAT is an unfair comparison on the basis of just frequency
So much white...
ok i'm done
Micro, Ama, Newegg are what I usually check
Microcenter is only good for cou mobo combo
Except there's no Micro anywhere near me
Microcenter is really good with combos
Thats all im buying from there and ig the rest is online
I on,y really trust Newegg with Ama as a back up.
What abt amazon
There can be some pretty big price differences between just those two
Ama = Amazon
Ohh
Ooh i can get smthing at best buy muhahah
@stoic island
Is this worthy of being a budget pc
Except the mobo is replaced with smthing from MC since its cheaper
500$ 2060 super lol
hello gamers
What’s popping @tired turtle
listening to music im worn out from dragging my desk back and crawling around behind it hehe
😅
Pretty much same from me XD. I’m the passenger in a car ride that’s been going for about 4+ hours
Yeah man. But I got all you special people in this server to keep me company 
👍
i think ima go find somehting else to clean..
its an addiction at this point
also 1am lmao
Alright man you do you. Have fun!
1am = discord time
You should probably get some sleep then @tired turtle 
probably, i do have work tomorrow 🤷♂️
We don’t want a tired Walrisis up in here
but my extra cable closet could use a reorganizing 😄
thats true, but so does cleaning
Opinions on these 3?
Alright man as long as you have fun and you’re happy doing it it cool with it
@crude otter Corsair RMx all the way
hehe
goodnight my man 
Yeah you too
I was thinking that, just didnt know how the others stacked since the corsair will be a back order
The reason it’s backorder is because it’s so good
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
Better than 10 day backorder, will check on it thnx
And back out of stock lol
I'll just backorder it through newegg
morning
Tis quite early for many of us
its 2:44 am
ok, so question for anyone.....mobo gets power, but doesnt crank over usually means what?
Crank over?
