Ok so ya it seems its the processor then it was either that or the power supply cause everything was brand new
Ty guys
Hey everyone it's my first build. Will a r5 3600 paired with a 5700xt Taichi be a good matchup for 1440p gaming?
I wish i knew
@desert gulch yep
that thing's overpriced af
He might really like the looks of Taichi
well...
But it is overpriced
400 decent price
Should I go with a b550 or x570 . I don't really understand the difference and the b550 is priced way better
B550 has a few less features of X570
Lots of people say B550 is worth it, lots say just go to X570
i'd get a gaming x instead
Your choice
unless you like the look of fancy 3 fans
Does b550 have pcie 4.0 or is it just the x570?
b550 support 4.0 pcie lanes from cpus
but the chipset itselft doesn't have pcie 4.0
x570 does
So would it be slower than x570?
Difference is fractions of seconds
I don't think there's any difference to feel in the first place
Ok
league of legends for sure
well it's possible with esports
ok
also
asking if "it'll run at 1440" is a vague question
it can run at 30fps, stil playable
Like 60+ frames
it can run at 144fps or 60fps
what do you guys think of my build? Note: I already purchased the monitor from a big deal at costco and the price of the motherboard went up 70$ an hour ago. Plus, I found a Crucial P1 500g since wd black just ended their big sale. Its around 63$
I forgot to ask another question, with my motherboard with a ryzen 5 3600, will I have to use another ryzen chip to update the driver or something like that
Like what it is with some b450 boards
no
ok
ofc not
I don't know pc's xD
\
added a space to post it
or just post this
good point
mods won't like it when you work around to evade rules
You have any tips for when I actually build my computer?
I have been watching people like BitWit and Linus do build tutorials, but I'm nervous that I'll accidentally destroy my build
use the mobo box as an anti-static workplace
(if possible)
So should I move my dining room table into my tile kitchen?
Because most of my house is carpet
well
Also, would wearing like tennis shoes help at all?
if so, make sure that you have anti-static precaution
like touching your psu once in a while
ok
ok
anw, anti-static's only a problem if the humidity in your place is low
like the air is really really dry
I live with like 90% humidity most of the time lol
yep
ahhh
with such climate, it won't be as extreme
Is it easier to hook up case fans earlier or later in the build
like when the mobo is already in it
@desert gulch I have one question
do you already own this monitor?
Would it be a good idea or is it necessary if I buy another case fan because the case comes with 3 intake fans in the front of the case but no exhaust
you can just move one intake to be exhaust
Ok, most likely the middle one?
the bottom one
ok
Would it be pretty simple to take out the fan and the screws and just move them then?
Or would I have to buy something else for it
ok
pc isn't rocket science
the manufacturers have to make things simple
or the users won't like it
and when users don't like stuff, you know what happens
What do you think of this monitor?
Yes that monitor is going to get here tuesday
I was looking for curved but I honestly don't know if its good
I don't want to buy something and then find out its not good
Yes that monitor is going to get here tuesday
@desert gulch but you're paying extra for a gsync monitor and are using an amd gpu?
Like the size, refresh rate, and response time are good but I don't know anything about brightness or whatever
aoc c24g1 is good
Ok cool
I just don't like curved
I have been looking for a monitor for so long
because curves doesn't make sense with small size monitors
It was 70$ off
ahhhh
at 27" and lower size, to make the curve noticeable, the image will be distorted too
It was 70$ off
@desert gulch ok that makes sense
It was also not curved and I want to dip my feet in the waters of CAD
ultrawide curved monitors makes sense
Since curved distorts the image
27" sometimes make sense if the curve is reasonable
Do you have any recommendations for a 144hz monitor under $200?
doesn't matter curved or not
Costco has a sale rn
if you can, find the aoc 24g2
Could you find a link
Yea one sec
/lg-ultragear-27%22-class-fhd-ips-g-sync-compatible-gaming-monitor.product.100512138.html
xD
Paste that after costco.com
Do you have to have a costco membership to buy it?
ok
yeah you have to buy a memberhsip
oof
24 inch is good more me though
*for
What do you guys think of steelseries for peripherals?
I have been set on buying their Apex 3 keyboard for $50 and the Rival 3 Mouse for $30
is this a good build? h ttps://pcpartpicker.com/list/HMds4n
how much does it usually go for?
few changes
the 3600 is worth the extra 20
you psu choice was bad
and thats just a random semi decent case
you can change it later if u want ig
actually wait, i have a few other changes to make too, but theyre minor ones
it says that it's having some compatibility issues
So basically I got a 500w psu but havent got any other parts and idk what I should look for my Hope's are to have at least above 70-80 fps
@fallow sedge what are you using a 1tb ssd for
just for gaming. Is a 512gb SSD enough?
i mean, depends on the games your playing
I was planning on downloading a couple of AAA games
if you got a big library, then sure, but an HDD does fine
and I heard they can get a bit high in storage
well, what games
Like doom, COD, Valorant, Battlefield etc
np, the mobo is technically oos, but theyre getting more in like a week or two
so, if you ordered now, it would take a while for the board to get here
does this mobo come with wifi and bluetooth?
guess i'll need that wifi adapter
The asrock X470 Master SLI has WiFi and bluetooth
Not sure if it's in stock, haven't checked
Nevermind it is out of stock... Like many reasonably priced boards
Anyone have any recommendations for WiFi cards? I would prefer ethernet but it is literally impossible with my house set up
TP Link Archer 6
I used it back when my old MB didn't have wifi, it was a pretty reliable card
Yep
Okay cool thanks for the info!
how impossible is it tho
@tepid basalt the router and modem are in the garage and there are no ethernet outlets anywhere near there (all of our devices are just on wifi so it hasn't been a problem), so the only way I could get it wired into the ethernet connection would be to have an outlet installed in the wall but it's unrealistic right now
Unless I bought another router but it would be way cheaper for me to just get a wifi card
How about buying a loooong Ethernet wire?
Hey
?
I was wondering anyone can help with making a build
sure
My budget is 1,300
I would make one yourself first and then come back and we'll tell you what to change
that way, you know your build better
and have a (slightly) better understanding on how to troubleshoot
Mostly play video games /watch stuff and stream
Hey guys were to get the cheapest part for pc in uk?
it's ok motor
@little osprey what resolution/fps?
@bold turret ask #tech-deals or #general-chat
@arctic jungle the best i can get
do you not already have a monitor?
Nah my monitor broke
should I include it in the budget
yea, so what res/fps is the tv?
No clue
can't rlly help u if I don't know... try googling model number
unless u do wanna use a monitor
I was just going to buy the monitor they use at the tournaments i go too
Those seem fine
Oh
for example, u can't do 4k @ 60 fps on a 300$ machine
similarly, you don't want to do a 1080p @ 60 hz on a 1300$ machine
I think motor is right, you need to do some research and put together a build by urself first
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
that seems helpful
what
he got triggered
hey guys i'm wondering what upgrade i should make to my pc next
whats your current specs
what's the best way to show you that
also just a quick note- if you dont have an SSD that should be the next upgrade without a doubt.
there's a program that scans my pc right?
userbenchmark
you can open task manager
userbenchmark does
that's a lot of ethernets
i use wifi haha
@arctic jungle why lol
hmm how do i insert a photo lol
the CPU, GPU, amount of RAM
16 gb ram was the first and last upgrade i made to my pc
your hard drives
amd ryzen 5 1400 quad core
oh shoot didn't realize it was nsfw
there ya go
sry
nvidia geforce 1050x ti
lol
@craggy zenith do you know by chance your motherboard model and drives?
wrong ping
240 gb ssd with os on it
1 tb hdd
uhmm no i used to have a program that told me but i forgot
guys ryzen 3700x or 3800x?
k im downloading now
@bold turret 3700X imo. 3800X has too much of a price increase for a small clock speed boost
just overclock your 3700x lol
i probably only have the budget to make one major upgrade right now and i want the most power or min/max for this upgrade
@craggy zenith what's your upgrade budget
300$
sure go for it
user benchmark is almost done
worth the price?
how much is the mobo? @bold turret
both in amazon £526.17
is that with both components or just mobo?
ye
UserBenchmarks:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 - 28.9%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050-Ti - 30.1%
SSD: Intel 600p Series NVMe PCIe M.2 256GB - 93.5%
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1TB - 91.5%
MBD: Acer Aspire GX-281
both
@craggy zenith ooh you just upgraded a prebuilt?
yeah
@bold turret how much is the mobo itself
do you know your power supply by chance? @craggy zenith
where to see ?
£228
@craggy zenith you'll just have to open your case up and look at it
it's the box with cables comin out of it in the corner
lol yeah ive replaced a psu on my old pc beforer
i just didn't know if there was a way to do it without doing that
What currency is that I'm having a brain fart? @bold turret
@craggy zenith what power supply you got now?
ill have to take a look
@bold turret seems a little overprices
well is amazon
a lot overpriced
should i look at anything else while im in there or is psu the last thing you'll need to know
PSU is all i need to know... maybe mesure how long of a GPU can fit in the case if you can @craggy zenith
@bold turret you got lvl 3 MEE6
okay brb momentarily for psu
Okay so you want to get the 3800X you've decided?
I think the CPU/Mobo combo looks fine
what lvl is regular+?
wdym
there is diffrent styles of the mob
yeah there's different ones you can choose from
which one you suggest
personally I'd actually get a B450 Tomahawk max as the 3700x only has 65w TDP
wait no you're getting 3800X huh
so?
rog strix x570-f gaming maybe?
how much is that one
sounds expensive
230
eeeeh
you should get the 3700x instead
yeah that's what I think
and a b450-b550 board
thats what i am getting 3700x not 3800x
3800X has such a high TDP for such a slight speed increase
Do you want a 3800X or 3700X
good
so what motherboard to go for
do you need wifi
wdym type c
USB or thunderbolt based
USB type C im guessing
ok
so what mob
Sassy is looking I think
yeah
ight
ahh
what company
also measured probably up to 7.5 inches for space for gpu
Report incorrect product information
Acer Aspire GX-281 GX-785 Predator G3-710 G6-710 Computer Power Supply 500W PS-7501-5
i thought that was out of stock
it is in stock for me
oh, cool
uhmm im not sure
look at it again lol
i don't see where it says the pins
That's a good board
looking at pictures of my model online it looks like a 6 pin
so wait for my board or get the one sassy what suggest me
tomahawk max is oos for me
oos?
out of stock
Out
Of
Stock
besides, the asus board is better
yeah
yeah
yeah @craggy zenith im just gonna have to ask you to look inside and see for yourself. It looks like there might be 2 6 pin connectors but the image is super blurry
I need this info
okay will it be plugged into something or is it just going to be hanging
btw ill be putting as well 2080 super in that motherboard
nice
idk, do you just wanna order from amazon?
eh, why 32gb?
lmao\
if you dont know, then you dont need it
what ram is good any wheys
most ram is fine, its hard to mess up from a manufacturing standpoint
i usually just suggest these
^^^
Same fluency and latency?
bingo
so, if you dont have a solid reason for getting 32gb, then theres no real reason to
tho the think is i am in uk
yeah i figured
the more reason of getting it is bc it will be more cheaper then buying it in the future again
that assumes you will have a use for 32gb of ram in the future
well prob
and that you couldnt just slap in another 2x8gb kit
everything it starting needing more and more rams
no
thats even worse
you paying more for less performance up front
then when you upgrade to 32gb
you need all new ram
get 2x8gb
then in 6 years, if you still have the same pc, which i doubt, you can get another 2x8gb kit
and slap it on the board next to the originals
nah
give me a link of the rams i should get
well, find those dimms
its hard for me to help people who arent in the us, because all websites and redirections autoload based on region
so we see very different things
makes it take much longer to find parts
whats the diffrent?
18-22-22-42
vs
16-18-18-38
english pls
timings
the one i linked is infinitely better, because it better for the exact same price
k
well, you would have to also pay more in shipping if you didnt buy on amazon
no
or nah
ye
awesome
nah good enough
there are diffrent 2080s right?
ok
some of them use their brand name to charge more
what i need next?
case
can you show me cuple options
im working on it be patient

oh, those two cases also come in white
if youre looking to go super cheap
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Fractal-Design-Focus-Computer-Window/dp/B06XQ5JSRR
anything boxy?
wdym
smth simmilar to nzxt
so like the h510 kinda
no
second one has better airflow
yeah ill get that then
imo, first one looks cooler
yeah
the first one has a solid glass panel infront of the fans
with intake being from the sides
which chokes the fans
what about the looks?
if you wanna go for the other one, sure, but the intake isnt nearly as efficient
like, its kinda bad
if you didnt care about noise, and you just cranked the case fans, then airflow would probably be fine tho
how much noise does the airflow does
if you force any fan to run at max speed theyre kinda loud
what get next?
cpu cooler
tho 3700x has a inbuild cooler
you can either stick with the stock cooler or get a really cool one
i dont think i need a extra cooler
it wouldnt be extra, it would replace the stock cooler
well, you need an exhaust fan
unfortunately, its oos.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-Low-Noise-Airflow-Cooling-Single/dp/B07VGJMQLB
those three fans are intaking air into the system
how are you getting the hot air out tho
raw positive case pressure isnt enough to properly cool a system
well, it can be, but youre running a 3700x and 2080s
so i would suggest airflow, not just air pushed into the case
what u think
well, you need a corsair SP120 RGB PRO
link?
out of stokc?
and, if you can get the same fan as the three in the front, you can plug it in to the fan hub that comes with the case
and have it look cool because all the fans are the same
imma go look
https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Fans/RGB-%26-LED-Fans/iCUE-SP-Series-RGB-PRO-Performance/p/CO-9050093-WW you could buy it right from corsair
The CORSAIR iCUE SP120 RGB PRO Performance Fan features eight individually addressable RGB LEDs lining the fan hub, for the cooling you need and the visuals to impress. Compatible with CORSAIR iCUE
not found
25 dollar tho
and oos
oh hecc
i am so confuse how the fans work
so i got 3 in front
2 from graphic card
and how much i need?
dont count the ones on the components
were talking case fans
so, air intake and exhaust
the gpu indiscriminately blows hot air all around the case
1 there right?
i would suggest waiting for it to come back in stock on amazon
everywhere i can find it its super overpriced
find smth good but a bit cheaper if u can
i mean, if the case fan is different enough it could look dumm
unless
you got a totally black fan
?
in stock july 7th
it will take longer to show up, but this as an exhaust fan would be cool
how many i need?
ones fine
wdym in 14
july
maybe bc us
ok whats next
would 512gb be enough?
no
are you sure?
mhm
the cost of ssds goes up substancially after 512
is it for games?
because most games dont really use that much storage
and most games dont even need an ssd
remember? idk you never told me lmao
eh, doesnt really make a difference
i meant for the rest of the build
but, the other question is do you need ssd for videos?
i would guess your working in 1080p
like, a good 4tb hdd would be plenty
what i am thinking is that using 1 tb ssd for personal use
and 2 tb hhd
for videos
just offer me a good ssd
ill take care of the hhd
Mp34 is a good ssd
whats that
so, what about 512gb ssd for Windows 10, drivers, most programs that load on boot, leaving 450GB for the select few games that can take advantage of it, like R6S.
then, a 4tb HDD for literally everything else
a 4tb hdd is like 120 i would think, so 2 2tb drives could be slightly cheaper
i am in uk
i found a 2 tb drive for 50
dont worry for hhd
just show me a good 1 tb or 900 smth ssd
no, i will find you one
its not i need it rn
Oof, mp34 is not a good deal in uk
i just wanna be sure
Seagate Barracuda?
Sabrent Rocket (jk)
Sabrent rocket isn't bad
yeah, those are fine
Reason: Bad word usage
oos
Don't say that
$hit
We're family friendly
In stock at other places though, just not amazon
link?
Why is wegg shipping so expensive in the UK
Was literally just looking at that lol
I dislike amazon
The shipping side at least
As a buyer, I like it
it sucks that this is oos
As a seller, they suck
AWS is wonderful though
getting this maybe
thats 2.5 inch
It's slower
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0713R3Y6F?tag=pcp0f-21&linkCode=ogi&th=1
if youre willing to wait
I dunno. 2.5 is really designed for laptops
i am getting the 2 tb
I have a 1TB ssd
but i want the 1 tb in ssd
Let me check how much I've used...
like, sure its nice to have extra storage
but most things dont really even need to be on an ssd
wait u want me to get 2 tb ssd?
Don't get 2TB
no, im saying why dont you want a 2tb ssd
500GB SSD is just fine for most people
yeah but i want 1 tb
like me here
just to have it
1 tig is okay
thats stupid
I work with big datasets sometimes, that's the only reason I have the 1TB
no whey
everything is on my 128gb ssd except for my games
well i assume you have games installed on your 128gb ssd
ye
see, i dont
i cant even fit fortnite on it
well ssd will run it quicker the game duh
Two seagate barracuda HDD's in raid0 are about as fast as a sata ssd btw
but once youre past the loading screen, it doesnt make a difference
look, heres my logic
if a 128gb ssd is 40
a 256gb ssd is 50
a 512gb ssd is 60
is a 120 dollar 1tb ssd worth the cost?
see, theres a big jump in cost
well 1tb is 500x2
yes, but look at the costs before
Look at the jumps up to that though
How big of a budget do you have?
a 2tb ssd is almost 300
and a 4tb ssd is like 850
so, the point of diminishing returns is at 512
if you dont need the extra 512, why pay for it
if the 1tb ssd were 70, i would tell you to get it
I can set up a 500GB nvme and two 7200RPM HDDs to load off the harddrives faster than a sata SSD, and almost as fast as nvme
ok sassy find me a 512ssd in stock with a good hdd
sadly, stock is another issue, amazon doesnt have many good options rn
super overpriced
oh, i found it cheaper
thats overpriced the first link
there
480 70?
jeez fine
now, the last thing we need is a psu
the second one is oos
Or just buy from some other seller
u know what
you not wrong
is not like i need it rn
i just need ssd quick
not the hhd
ok what about powersupply
psu stock sucks the most
@viral ore whats his budget?
so 1800?
why.....
i have the same setup
But you could've gotten 1080ti
but my 75hz monitors i found at goodwill lmao
Same lol
i got a 2080 s
sorry 2080ti
eww no
He could've
Its actually only 1.05k
are we doing uk pricing?
mhm
whats the diffrents in the models
Some have different cooling options
I mean if you didn't send all that money on montiors lol
not on amazon
But no you don't its overkill but gives you more head room
https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-SuperNOVA-Modular-Warranty-220-GA-0650-X3/dp/B084GMH5MR
heres a good one, decent price, unfortunatly, like every psu on amazon is oos
thats more expensive then 850w
i have no idea when it would get to you if you bought it now tho
so its a risk
that psu isnt even on amazon...
so, you could try and get a psu elsewhere
ye he said currys is fine though
idk either
i assume its a store
currys is like bestbuy
The uk has so much more psu stock than us rn
well, not amazon, thats for sure
but 550 is plenty
tho 750 will do the same job right?
2080s uses 265w peak on furmark
3700x on PBO under an AIDA64 stress test draws 163w peak
if you wanted to spend the little extra you couuld get 750w
yeah thats what i wanted
this unrealistic power consumption scenario, plus like idk 70w for the rest of the system gives you 498w
so, like sure, you can if you want
but there is literally zero difference
oh fu*k
no bypassing the filter
currys isnt doing deleveries any more
if it says this for me it sure as hell says it for you
try to go to check out
well, idk what to tell you
yeah
remember
because you said it wouldnt work
so i found one that said delivery
and sent a link
so dont go for 750
what did i say 5 mins ago
Buy today with free delivery. Find your CORSAIR Power supplies . All the latest models and great deals on CORSAIR Power supplies are on Currys with next day delivery.
you have three options
the CV550 is garbage
the other two are identical, aside from power output on the 12v rail
considering your system will draw around 500w
and the only available 550w is crap
get the 650
problem solved
Will an Intel 660p work on an amd build?
It would. It's just an SSD. But it's not the best SDD
Provided you have a m.2 slot
back what i missed
It's on a good sale right now
the 660p is qlc
It's 65$ for 512 gb
Ok
