?

analog pulsar
#

What made me wanna play on pc is graphic options and better looking games

knotty drum
#

i understand. so are you planning on geting new gpu? 3090?

analog pulsar
#

I will when I can

midnight flame
#

ooo that would be sick

pallid hull
knotty drum
#

for sure lol

midnight flame
#

what is it 1.5k$ of pure power lol

knotty drum
#

lol something like that

midnight flame
#

possibly more i havent looked at prices

knotty drum
#

more brands will come with different prices

#

so id wait a little longer

midnight flame
#

here ima put my build on here, it aint much but it gets through most games with satisfaction to actually be able to play

#

more brands will come with different prices
ikr

knotty drum
#

come on show me i love checking otu peoples build

#

out*

midnight flame
#

So i got a msi military class b85m-e45 motherboard running 16 gb of ddr3 ram (this is a kinda old motherboard i got from my uncle but it runs great) i have a i5 5.5k cpu im pretty sure, gtx 960 with 2 gb of vram or what ever it is on it

#

it can get stressed pretty easy but it gets through and runs great for how much it would like to kill me XD

#

also this is my first gaming pc so its more of a starter im building off of

knotty drum
#

yeah not bad for your first gaming pc

midnight flame
#

:DD

knotty drum
#

planning on upgrading?

#

or anything?

midnight flame
#

im only 13 so money is kinda hard to come by if you know what i mean lol so makes it a little more difficult to upgrade

knotty drum
#

lol understandable

#

ive been there

midnight flame
#

im wanting to upgrade the cpu to a i7 or an amd and also the gpu but im not very sure what i should upgrade it to

#

geez so bad at writing sometimes

knotty drum
#

amd is great for budget

midnight flame
#

yeah thats what i have heard

knotty drum
#

i am the same lol

midnight flame
#

for gpu im looking at something like gtx 1660 but im not sure there are a lot of people telling me not to get it so im not fully sure

knotty drum
#

im gunna be honest with you that amd performance is pretty much the same as intel

midnight flame
#

yeah

knotty drum
#

go for 2060

#

its expensive

midnight flame
#

i compared what i have which would be 300$ when it came out and now there is an amd with better ghz for much cheaper

knotty drum
#

evga rtx 2060 ko is priced at 320

midnight flame
#

here wait let me go scroll for a min on newegg

#

lol

knotty drum
#

are you looking at 1660ti?

midnight flame
#

im not sure which is better, super or ti

ripe quest
#

if you are on a tight budget i bet ebay has some cards that are a bit cheaper rn

knotty drum
#

looks like to me 2060 gives you about 10 fps more compare to 1660 super

midnight flame
#

it looks like 2070 is the same type of specs for more than the 1660

#

ah

#

i didnt look that close so

knotty drum
#

at 1080 ultra settings

midnight flame
#

if you are on a tight budget i bet ebay has some cards that are a bit cheaper rn
yeah

ripe quest
#

did you just say that the 2070 is the same as a 1660?

#

it looks like 2070 is the same type of specs for more than the 1660

midnight flame
#

i mean frist glance it looks like it

ripe quest
#

its not

#

what are you looking at at a first glance to see that?

#

one has raytracing

midnight flame
#

well they both have the same amount of vram

ripe quest
#

bruh

midnight flame
#

and it was 2060 not 2070 my bad

ripe quest
#

oh ok

midnight flame
#

teach me please i dont know much lol

ripe quest
#

still they are pretty different cards

knotty drum
#

yeah

ripe quest
#

i cant rn as i gtg

midnight flame
#

alright

#

well maybe another time

knotty drum
#

i can help

ripe quest
#

but just search up any guide on yt and itll get you a pretty in depth look into them

#

actually not any guide

knotty drum
#

you can youtube as well

ripe quest
#

but reliable channels should be able to tell you the differences

midnight flame
#

i will take any help, im more of the coding type guy not really physical technical stoof so im still learning

knotty drum
#

i understand everybody is learning new things everyday lol

midnight flame
#

well cya gaben

ripe quest
#

cya

foggy hazel
#

that is a start

#

ignore the summary at the top

#

take a good look at the actual numbers down the list

midnight flame
#

alright

#

thanks

#

ah

#

i see

#

so rtx is pushing out better frames, better quality, and all that

foggy hazel
#

basically yes

#

it also costs more. but that is how things go

midnight flame
#

yeah

foggy hazel
#

but, keep in mind. What you see now, is just for now

#

3-4 months from now? things will have changed

midnight flame
#

i might be able to sell the graphics card i have now for like 100 120$ and then have some other money and get one

foggy hazel
#

you would also need to make certain your PSU can handle it

midnight flame
#

i mean it aint like ima have enough money by the 3 or 4 months anyway so just watch the prices ig

#

yeah i was gonna research on all the compatibility and all that

foggy hazel
#

nah, just save up money and then have a open look at what is available when you are ready to buy something.

#

dont fixate on a specific part

midnight flame
#

yeah

#

the way i put it in my head is at least i have a graphics card to be able to run all of this smooth ish

#

lol

foggy hazel
#

well, this brings us to the next challenge for you

#

and this is something you should be able to find plenty of documentation/testing on

#

scaling of performance with OLD cpus using newer GPU's

midnight flame
#

the balance point between them?

foggy hazel
#

because that cpu of yours is going to be sweating

#

aye

midnight flame
#

also as this is the build chat, would you happen to know any good keyboard and mice i could get cuz atm im using basically a keyboard that would be in a school computer lab and a really cheap mouse that would be used for the same purpose

#

basically the way to think of my desk setup is those keyboard and mouse, a paper as a mouse pad (lol) a decent ish headset and then a fricken square monitor

foggy hazel
#

#peripherals-and-displays is the place for that really. And i honestly do not have much experience in the low end of mice/keyboards

midnight flame
#

ah ok well its all good it just gets kinda annoying when your being a sniper on some game and then your wanting to move it down by a few pixels and then you can cuz it doesnt register that little movement so then i have been having so snipe from moving back and forth not so much with the mouse, and then the keyboard wont let you click space bar in game if you are holding shift which i still cant figure out why

#

thank you much naed tho

foggy hazel
#

:)

#

the "multiple key press" is key rollover related.

#

something else for you to look up :)

midnight flame
#

yep

#

got a lot of research to do tomorrow

#

at least i will be smarter in the end

#

..

#

hopefully

#

XD

foggy hazel
#

:) best of luck :)

#

and swing by and ask if you are in doubt

midnight flame
#

ok thanks :DD im off to bed now gn

foggy hazel
#

gn

drifting timber
#

anyone getting a 3080?

mighty bobcat
#

Thinking about it but only once a strix is available

foggy hazel
#

makes talking about your build a bit simpler for everyone involved :)

#

where are you in the world?

#

what country are you in?

#

ah, that explains it then

#

there isnt the greatest support for the EU in it

#

oh well, we will make do :)

#

air or water cooler?

#

fair enough

#

try and look up noctua u12

#

its normal for that one

#

its the kind of cooler you buy and move from system to system

#

and i am done with the call i was on, so you have my full attention now :)

#

aye, there are plenty of other options.

#

@little osprey Be Quiet - Dark Rock Slim

#

should be around that price.

#

so, you are "roughly" at the german prices

#

aye aye, i am trying to get my brain to spit out what brands have a decent prescence in poland

#

before i find a PSU for you.

#

how much are you paying for that 2060?

#

okay, that is a fair enough price for it

#

try and see if you can find this PSU

#

Corsair CX (2017) 550

#

and it HAS to be the 2017 model

#

which is the one that looks like this

#

its the label colour that differs between the models

#

nope, that one is no good

#

could you link me to the place you are looking for parts?

#

just link it :)

stoic island
#

CXm has coil whine

#

CX is good

foggy hazel
#

i am looking around now @little osprey

#

there you go

#

i am looking at monitors now

#

aye, that PSU will work

#

but, i would like a link to the GPU you have listed. Just to make 100% certain :)

#

and the same for the mainboard please

#

@little osprey change the PSU to this instead

stoic island
#

For good reason :D

foggy hazel
#

the problem is your mainboard

#

there is an 8pin EPS on it

#

which sometimes is not required, but other times it is

#

because that is how intel does things

stoic island
#

(8+4?)

foggy hazel
#

4+4

stoic island
#

CX550 has 4+4

foggy hazel
#

its listed as 4+0

stoic island
#

from wegg

#

I'll check corsair's website

foggy hazel
#

yea.... are we certain that wegg are not just making that up?

stoic island
#

I hope not

foggy hazel
#

because it has been a number of years since i have had one in my hands

#

so i cannot remember

#

@stoic island its the Optix g241 you are in love with yes?

stoic island
#

Yes :D

#

195 USD of 144hz ips

foggy hazel
#

that is a suggestion for the monitor

#

its the second lowest priced one

#

and its on offer.

stoic island
#

Naed I'm having some trouble with corsair's website....

foggy hazel
#

aye, because corsair are dingbats with their old products

stoic island
#

It's just advertisement and no spec sheet lol

#

I mean this is cx white label, so like 2017 I think?

foggy hazel
#

it is the right model

#

its the 4+4 part i cannot remember.

#

2sec, let me just look somewhere else

#

local retailer that i trust here has specs, it is indicated as 4+4

#

its a solid one

#

and you can go back to the CX550 PSU too.

#

yes

#

i am going to look at what cpu coolers are available now that i am on the site :)

#

aye aye, i know.

#

but that was a "blind" pick in the sense that i know its a solid one.

#

i am curious about what xkom offers

stoic island
#

(CX550 looks out of stock from my end?)

#

And also, got any ideas where I could find the spec sheet or manual for the CX550?

#

Corsair website is hard :(

foggy hazel
#

you cant, unless one of the original reviews have it copied

stoic island
#

damn

#

not even a spec sheet

foggy hazel
#

re: stock: that is a minor detail that @little osprey will have to work around :)

stoic island
#

ooo a D15s, expensive tho

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey stick to the Dark Rock Slim

#

the other options are side grades at best

#

now, as Mr1111 mentioned, the CX550 is out of stock, but you can try and contact them and see when they expect it back in stock

stoic island
#

Mugen 5 is decent but not an upgrade

#

450w only comes with 1 pcie 8 pin so I'd suggest against it

foggy hazel
#

there is, but try on that one first

#

it is a very solid choice

#

and the price is not bonkers/crazy either

#

and IF you are feeling generous, just grab the RMx i linked earlier.

maiden forge
#

is 3600Mhz fast enough for ddr4 ram

whole stag
#

Yes

maiden forge
#

thank you

foggy hazel
#

as always, its a question of model

#

not brand.

#

@little osprey sorry for the wait, had to look that one up in detail

#

that one is bit worse than the CX550

#

and a LOT worse than the RMx

#

@whole stag Poland.

#

availability

#

and regional pricing.

whole stag
#

Oh

#

Hmm

foggy hazel
#

just because the thermaltake is better than your current PSU, does NOT mean it is a good PSU

worthy island
#

do you think the Intel i9 10th gen sucks

#

hmm

little osprey
#

Heeyyy someone posting xkom links I was so confused for a sec lol

#

Definitely haven't seen that here before

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome

#

best of luck with the build :)

little osprey
#

I heard that silentiumpc psus are kind of sketch tho

foggy hazel
#

and that is not what he is getting

#

read back if you are curious.

little osprey
#

👀

#

Sorry naed

foggy hazel
#

nothing to be sorry about.

#

pricing for models that compete with those two others are not competitive.

whole stag
#

Ah

foggy hazel
#

cx is a solid model

whole stag
#

Yeah

foggy hazel
#

and that is the lowest model he will get.

little osprey
#

If you're buying off xkom I am too and recommend a bitfenix whisper psu it's good value

foggy hazel
#

again, priced out of his range

#

hence cx

little osprey
#

Well probably shouldnt go too cheap with a psu anyway

whole stag
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

Most important part

foggy hazel
#

oh? the whisper? it shouldnt be

#

should be about 10-15% above the cx

#

cx = 335 and whisper = 399

#

wattage is plenty on cx

#

but if you want it, grab it

#

your money, your choice :)

cursive jackal
#

@little osprey can you suggest a pc build under $550 ha

hexed adder
#

@cursive jackal you can go to pcpartpicker

cursive jackal
#

@hexed adder where it is

hexed adder
little osprey
#

It's a website

hexed adder
#

yes

#

NP

cursive jackal
#

@hexed adder Thanks bro

#

1 min i will go check that website

little osprey
#

I might have already asked this but will the 3070 be good with the i9-9900k also I have a mid tower case and all plus the mother board is an aurous elite or sum

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey we dont know yet. Ask again in a weeks time, The reviews will be out by then at the latest

little osprey
#

Ah got it

little osprey
#

Which is better for a cheap budget 5500xt or 5700xt? I have a 570 rn

foggy hazel
#

look at the price

#

and then look at the budget

little osprey
#

Looking at $233 for an OC 5500XT and 399/449 for 5700/5700xt

#

Trying to stay under $500

foggy hazel
#

with the info you have given so far, both are under 500

little osprey
#

But I alsow any to get more bang for my buck

foggy hazel
#

any other parts you have not mentioned yet?

little osprey
#

That's it

#

I have everything else

#

Just looking at upgrading

foggy hazel
#

by the magic of math, the psu + 5700xt is out of budget

#

so it is a question for you how close to budget you want to go

#

and do remember, there is the 5600xt too

lusty glacier
#

How do you all feel about naked radiators?

little osprey
#

?

lusty glacier
#

Alright like PC O11 Dynamic, three QL fans intake on the bottom, three QL fans intake on the top, bare radiator showing inside on the back/side with three ML fans mounted on the back of the rad as exhaust. Naked rad visible in the white case with mostly white parts and cables, black accents throughout.

foggy hazel
#

that is entirely your choice.

#

@lusty glacier if you want to know about it in more detail, ask in #old-cooling perhaps

lusty glacier
#

Absolutely fair, I'm sure the performance works but I was asking about this build for aesthetic reasons

foggy hazel
#

no comment from me on that part of it

lusty glacier
#

QL fans are trash on rads, and I don't want to fan mix

No worries @foggy hazel c:

inland sand
#

I’m building my first pc with about a $1500 budget and a lose black and white them could someone look at my list and tell me if there is anything I should change

lusty glacier
#

Sure

#

DM it if it won't let you paste

foggy hazel
#

@lusty glacier normal practice is to post it here on behalf of the user that cannot post their list :)

lusty glacier
#

Oh crap lol, one sec

foggy hazel
#

its just so that you are not "forced" to follow it all the way through, You know, if you suddenly need to do something :)

earnest ravine
#

are used grapics card worth it

lusty glacier
#

Good point

#

I would buy a lightly used GPU that I could test from a friend or family member but I wouldn't buy one from Kijiji or Craigslist. I don't know if I'm in the majority with that, just a personal take.

little osprey
#

@lusty glacier I'm not a fan of buying used from anywhere

#

I've done it once or twice, but that's its

rich void
#

Am I the only one who doesn't put much stock in descriptions like "lightly used"? Seems like that doesn't mean much. I guess if you know the seller you know (or have a better idea at least) if they had issues with it, tried to overclock in a bad way, or did anything else that might damage it, but that's about it I think

lusty glacier
#

I've done it once or twice, but that's its
@little osprey same, and under very specific circumstances. I don't think I'd ever buy used from a stranger, and if I did I'd be dragging a generator and a system to the buy with me to stress test, tear the GPU down and replace the paste and pads. Far too much work to be sure I'm not buying a dud.

sudden lily

Hi everyone I hope y’all are having a wonderful day/evening/night. I’m looking into upgrading my pc with the RTX 3070, ASUS AMD AM4 ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX Motherboard, Lian li O11 Dynamic XL or Thermaltake view 51 and I wanna add water cooling to the whole system. Can anyone help with the water cooling?

foggy hazel
sudden lily
#

k thx

brittle tinsel
#

about what would be the cheapest price for a solid streaming PC? Like play and stream same build. @ me or DM me please and thanks, I need a solid PC for around 1k but if i need to go higher it will take longer

robust tide
#

Is the Lian LI 011 Dynamic a good case for airflow and temps?

stoic island
#

1000$ works

#

@robust tide if you add a bunch of fans

sturdy leaf
#

What does this mean?

stoic island
#

why do you have H510 in your list

#

Basically H510 has a pretty useless usb-c front io connector

#

and many mobos don't have a usb-c internal header

sturdy leaf
#

Oh

#

Any suggestions

#

On cases

stoic island
#

TD500 mesh white

sturdy leaf
#

Alr

#

I’ll check it out

stoic island
#

P400a only if you don't plan on ever going good air coolers

#

Meshify C if you're prepared to buy another fan or two

sturdy leaf
#

Alr

#

I’ll check them out thanks

stoic island
#

look at td500 mesh first :P

#

imo P400a is a TD500mesh that doesn't have as good cooler clearance

sturdy leaf
#

Oh

#

Cause ngl I kinda like the black

stoic island
#

there's a black td500 mesh

sturdy leaf
#

Oh Alr

#

Oh

#

Is there another one without the wierd crystal part

#

@stoic island

stoic island
#

on the side or the front

sturdy leaf
#

The front

stoic island
#

front panel is quite hard to see irl

sturdy leaf
#

Sorry for ping

#

Oh

#

What case do u have?

#

Also I’m making a future proof build which is this

stoic island
#

taking a picture of build-pics:

sturdy leaf
#

Oh

#

Ok

stoic island
#

that's the td500 mesh front panel's look irl

vital warren
#

1k build with a 1660super

#

u can do a little better on the performance there

sturdy leaf
#

Ik

#

But I’m going for a future proof

stoic island
#

interesting

#

no cpu cooler

#

faster ram

#

better ssd

#

no added rgb fans

#

get a td500 mesh that already has rgb fans

sturdy leaf
#

Alr

#

Thanks

#

I’ll get that one then

#

What type of ram shoudl I get

stoic island
#

I'd get a B550 board too unless you need x570 for any real reason

sturdy leaf
#

I’m going for it just in case

#

For the future

stoic island
#

there's no reason

#

B550 has all the important bits of x570

sturdy leaf
#

Oh al

stoic island
#

PCIe 4.0 for graphics card and first M.2 SSD

sturdy leaf
#

Then alright

stoic island
#

future gen support

sturdy leaf
#

Alr

#

Thanks

#

I’ll get this build then

vital warren
#

idk much about the psu tho

sturdy leaf
#

Yhat one looks nice to

#

Oh

stoic island
#

lemme change out the mobo

#

gimme a sec

#

Used GPU eh

#

interesting

#

anyways RM750x is way overkill but great for future proofing

#

good PSUs can last you a decade

vital warren
#

^

stoic island
#

iirc RMx has a 10 year warranty too

sturdy leaf
#

Nice

stoic island
sturdy leaf
#

Yep then I’m gonna get that build

stoic island
#

that PSU is oos for now tho :(

sturdy leaf
#

F

stoic island
#

Focus GX also has a 10 year warranty

#

great PSU

deft grotto
little leaf
#

don't get the h510

#

I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on the Asus Prime X570 motherboard was?

leaden saffron
#

Is there a difference between rgb hubs and fan hubs? Im getting a neo air case and it comes with an rgb contontroller and 2 rgb fans, but my mobo only has 1 fan header. Do i need to get a fan splitter?

ripe quest
#

@earnest ravine get a cheaper motherboard like a ds3h

#

and you can get a p300 mesh for cheaper

deep skiff
#

if its just a rgb hub and not a rgb+fan hub then yes you would need a fan hub or splitter

earnest ravine
#

thanks @ripe quest

ripe quest
#

np

knotty drum
#

I wonder if most people get mobo with WiFi included or just Ethernet

ripe quest
#

just plugging in an ethernet cable is fine

#

thats what i do

earnest ravine
#

better?

ripe quest
#

yes

knotty drum
#

I know but I mean like if people like to have WiFi as their back up when they aren’t able to plug in

ripe quest
#

if you are fine with having a used graphics card

#

looks like a pretty good deal

knotty drum
#

You have to bid on it

ripe quest
#

yes ik

#

theres 5 hours left

#

so there is a chance

#

im aware of how ebay works dude

knotty drum
#

True but most people bid at the last min

ripe quest
#

true too

knotty drum
#

I just always get bad luck

#

Lol

ripe quest
#

really

#

ive gotten some pretty good parts

#

that i sold

earnest ravine
#

if i get a used one i will get better graphics card like a 2070 s

knotty drum
#

Yes I tried bidding for ps4, and Xbox and never got it

ripe quest
#

yeah but i assumed you wanted to stay under budget

knotty drum
#

I be like screw this buying brand new Xbox lol

#

I have 2070s and I love it! Very good for 2k set up

earnest ravine
#

i would not mind paying a lil more for a better graphics card

ripe quest
#

then go ahead and do it

knotty drum
#

I’d then lol

ripe quest
#

its a really great card

knotty drum
#

The higher the better

earnest ravine
#

yup

knotty drum
#

Yeah I agree with Gaben 1660 ti is still good

#

But again higher the better lol

earnest ravine
#

what motherboard so u have @knotty drum

#

do

knotty drum
#

MSI MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC

#

Comes with WiFi

#

I like having both Ethernet and WiFi. Just my personal choice.

earnest ravine
#

ok

#

NZXT H510 Elite is this a good case?

knotty drum
#

I honestly don’t know much about cases but I personally like the looks of it

#

Make sure all of your parts will fit in it

#

Send me your link

thorny basin
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

earnest ravine
#

@knotty drum not now i want to upgrade to that case in in like a year from now when i have a bigger budget

knotty drum
#

Well I honestly would go for lancool ii

#

It’s bada$$

#

Very very easy to install and easy accessible

#

That’s what I have

#

Check it out @earnest ravine

#

It has magnet that you can open the glass without having to unscrew to open

little leaf
#

@earnest ravine h510 cases are all bad for airflow

limpid snow
little leaf
#

cool whats the final build?

#

don't tell me its less than a 3070 though

limpid snow
#

3080

#

ok good

little osprey
#

Hey. I got a 10700

I got 9700k instead

little leaf
#

if you get the i7s

#

don't get a 2070 or less

limpid snow
#

There was a pretty sweet combo deal during Intel Gamer Days

#

On the CPU and MoBo

little leaf
#

you could've gone amd and 3600 and 2080s

#

or even 10400 2080s

#

or now

#

3080

knotty drum
#

I’m curious comparison between i7 9700k and 10k

#

10700k

#

Anyone have an answer for me?

little leaf
#

10700k pretty much 9900k

little osprey
#

I just got a regular 10700

knotty drum
#

I had it for couple months

#

9700k and didn’t know about 3070 😦

little leaf
#

sorry proda but getting a non k 10700 isn't very smart

#

since a 10600k is better for cheaper

#

And hillcrest

#

you couldve gotten a 2080s

knotty drum
#

But man it’s $800

#

I paid $500 for my 2070s

#

And thankfully I didn’t get 2080s

#

Because 3080 is same price as 2080s but two times better

limpid snow
#

I’m still on a 980ti lol, gonna retire it soon for the 3080

#

Also I’m still on an i5 3570k kekw

knotty drum
#

Lol

#

Time to upgrade

unborn solstice
#

that cpu is gonna bottleneck so hard

limpid snow
#

Yeah, it’s wayyy overdue

little osprey
#

Well yeah. I know it’s not smart. But I mean :/ it runs like it should lol

knotty drum
#

@little osprey it’s fine man your cpu won’t hurt

#

And not much difference anyways

little leaf
#

@knotty drum lmao yes but you still paid for the build which cost the same as a 2080s build

knotty drum
#

I disagree mate @little leaf

little leaf
#

about?

knotty drum
#

The cost

little leaf
#

how much did you pay for your build?

#

1500?

limpid snow
#

Going from an i5 3570k + 980ti to an i7 10700k + 3080 is gonna be sweet

knotty drum
#

Doesn’t matter. But I’m talking about gpu prices

#

How is my mobo, ram, ssd is relate to gpu price??

little leaf
#

its not only about the price of the gpu

#

its the cost of the pc

little osprey
#

I only payed 1100 for mine

little leaf
#

since your saying that the 3080 is better than 2080s by 2x right

knotty drum
#

Right for the price

little leaf
#

and your talking about how the 2080s is 200 more expensive than the 2070s

knotty drum
#

$800 mate

#

3070 is $800 I think

little leaf
#

what?

knotty drum
#

And 2080s is $800 as of right now

little leaf
#

the 3070 is 500

#

the 3080 is 700

#

the 2080s is 700

knotty drum
#

Well there you go

little leaf
#

2070s is 500

knotty drum
#

2080s only makes 5-10fps difference

#

Screw it

#

Save me $200

little leaf
#

Thats not what I'm saying

knotty drum
#

Ok then what’s your point

little leaf
#

I'm saying the price of the build could've got a 2080s build

#

a 9700k and 2070s build is atleast 1400

knotty drum
#

My built is ready for 3090

little leaf
#

a 3600 2080s build is 1400

knotty drum
#

I also like to waste more money on rgb

#

I like rgb

little leaf
#

its what ever

knotty drum
little leaf
#

you could've got bettter buts thats the bast

#

past

little osprey
#

Wait 1400? Wtf.

little leaf
#

yes...

little osprey
#

:/ bruh tell me why I payed 1100 for mine

little leaf
#

9700k and 2070s should be 1400 at least

knotty drum
#

I paid $2000 for this build with rgb. Next thing I’m ordering is rgb fan for the back

little leaf
#

....

#

10600k and 2080ti with rgb is 2k

little osprey
#

Mine has RGB all I need is a better ram. And maybe liquid cooling

knotty drum
#

2070s is good enough for me because I’m running games at 2k

#

I won’t paid over $1k for gpu

still roostBOT

Hillcrest [i7-9700k/2070S]#1942 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

knotty drum
#

Oops

jolly adder
#

what parts of the pc would make the most noise? Is it the PSU fan? GPU? CPU cooler? I want to make my pc as silent as i can.

#

I have a stock AMD cooler for my cpu

deep skiff
#

all three of those (and the harddrive fan)

analog hearth
#

the fans

sturdy leaf
#

Any suggestions on a 144 hz monitor

analog hearth
#

are you competitive?

sturdy leaf
#

Yes

analog hearth
#

do you plan on getting an Nvidia 3000 GPU?

#

also, what's your size preference?

knotty drum
#

1000fps!!!!

#

Jk

sturdy leaf
#

I’m

#

Um*

#

Medium I guess

#

Not to big not to small

analog hearth
#

diagonal length

sturdy leaf
#

Oh

analog hearth
#

24" and 27" are the two main

sturdy leaf
#

Which one do u think is better

knotty drum
#

I currently have msi 27inch with 165hz for $230

#

2k curved monitor

wicked acorn
#

How much would 2 months of mining affect the gpu?

knotty drum
#

27 is nice

analog hearth
#

24" if you you're getting a 1080p panel. nothing bigger. 1440p at the minimum for 27"

sturdy leaf
#

Is there a big gap in price or are they around the same

analog hearth
#

I'm asking if you're getting an Nvidia 3000 GPU because 1440p 144Hz is way more feasible now with 3000-series GPUs

#

and yeah

#

well, somewhat

sturdy leaf
#

Oh

#

Probaly not

knotty drum
#

This is what I have

sturdy leaf
#

That’s sick

knotty drum
#

I love it! Just my desk is too narrow

plush mist
#

27inch?

knotty drum
#

Yes

#

165hz

#

For $230

plush mist
#

yo thats sick

analog hearth
#

cheapest 1440p 144Hz on PCPP is $243.64 by AOC. who knows if it's good, though

knotty drum
#

Bought them from Costco

plush mist
#

cries in 60 hz

knotty drum
#

What brand? @analog hearth

analog hearth
#

cheapest 1080p 144Hz on PCPP is $139.99 by Viotek. again, who knows if it's good

foggy hazel
#

@wicked acorn depends entirely on the sanity of the person doing the mining.

knotty drum
#

And size

sturdy leaf
#

What hz is perfect for gaming

plush mist
#

border line 144

knotty drum
#

Id say 144

analog hearth
#

the higher, the better

sturdy leaf
#

Alr then

knotty drum
#

And 165hz is nice

sturdy leaf
#

I’ll get a 144 monitor

analog hearth
#

but anything 120Hz and above is competitive

plush mist
#

still cries in 60hz

sturdy leaf
#

Lol

knotty drum
#

Hdmi 144hz and DisplayPort 165hz

#

On my monitor

sturdy leaf
#

Any suggestions for 144hz monitor?

knotty drum
#

Hm just make sure you check reviews first lol

sturdy leaf
#

Alt

#

Alr

plush mist
#

Budget?

wicked acorn
#

@foggy hazel so it depends on would he lie about the hours it has spent doing mining?

foggy hazel
#

that is for you to figure out

wicked acorn
#

ok then how many is too many? @foggy hazel

knotty drum
#

I think it’s stupid for people to do mining with gpu

foggy hazel
#

what i said earlier answers that question too @wicked acorn

#

@knotty drum not relevant at the moment.

knotty drum
#

Ok

foggy hazel
#

@wicked acorn when you buy used hardware is it ALWAYS buyer beware.

#

You are the only one that can decide if the "deal" is acceptable for you.

wicked acorn
#

i don't know how to decide, idk how much is too much!

foggy hazel
#

look at the price, and look at what you are not getting

wicked acorn
#

the price is like 200$ for 1070, 25$ fewer than a new 1650s here

foggy hazel
#

you got any warranty left on it?

#

because that is not a remotely "new" card

wicked acorn
#

no warranty

foggy hazel
#

then you have to decide if you are willing to make a 200-ish usd bet on it working for long enough that it is at least worth 200-ish

midnight flame
#

@knotty drum i like the way that you used the background it makes it looks so good

#

for your setup

knotty drum
#

Thanks mate.

midnight flame
#

mine i just have a screenshot of me drifting the prerunner on a dirt track from beamng

knotty drum
#

oh from that game? Lol

midnight flame
#

yeah

#

its the most expensive game i own so i play it a lot XD

knotty drum
#

This is what it looks like as of right now

midnight flame
#

you got some fricken good backgrounds dude

knotty drum
#

I’m planning on upgrading my desk

#

And organize all of those wires under the desk lol

midnight flame
#

i will send my pc sometime instead of my setup because it looks way better than my setup even if it isnt that bright

knotty drum
#

Yeah please do

#

I’d like to see what yours is like

#

I like seeing random pc setup

midnight flame
#

my recommendation for the wires is to get some black zipties down the legs of the desk, makes it blend in well

knotty drum
#

I have them just didn’t do it yet 😂

midnight flame
#

sure i can do it in a bit, i gotta take a shower and eat some dinner first, i just finished a practice not to long ago

vestal cove
#

@night iron I’m probably gonna upgrade to a 3070

knotty drum
#

Ok take your time

#

Man I wanna get 3080 but I just got 2070s couple months ago

midnight flame
#

yes sir, talk to you in a bit then cyaaaa

knotty drum
#

I’m upset lol

#

Cya man

midnight flame
#

i just got my little 970 over here lol

wicked acorn
#

@foggy hazel thank u very much

limpid snow
#

Hope I can snag one from my local Best Buy if Nvidia/NewEgg lag enough for me to not be able to purchase one in time lol

night iron
#

Okay @vestal cove

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome @wicked acorn best of luck with it :)

late pilot
stoic island
#

oh boy lots of ideas

#

@late pilot for the motherboard, MSI B550 Pro-vdh wifi

#

For the ram, G.skill ripjaw v 3600cl16 kit

#

that's 90$ saved

late pilot
#

ok, thanks

midnight flame
#

@knotty drum im back

#

ima pull my pc out real quick and pull off the side door and then i can send a picture

#

oh wait wrong chat oops

polar gyro
#

HI Guys, I am trying to build a powerful video editing PC. Here are the components i have selected. https://newegg.io/48f6547. Can someone. help me review this and let me know if the components are compatible ?

midnight flame
#

so you know my phone is shattered atm so im using a crappy laptop for the camera

#

sure @polar gyro i can look but im not an experpt

polar gyro
#

Thx Turtle

tall mantle
#

Dont build a pc rn

#

Too many new components coming up soon

knotty drum
#

Welcome back @midnight flame

tall mantle
#

Zen 3, ryzen 4000 series, AMD 6000 series, Nvidia 3000 series and more

#

probably the worst time to build a pc

midnight flame
#

that pc looks pretty good but yeah some new components are coming out that may make the prices drop a lot

#

nvm not pretty good really good lol

polar gyro
#

oh, hmm @tall mantle Do you when they will be out ?

midnight flame
#

well ima get that pic for you hillcrest i will post it in the build pics section

tall mantle
#

@polar gyro I'd say wait until December to build a pc to be safe

#

so you can get the best prices and best hardware

midnight flame
#

yeah unless you majorly need one because your pc isnt running i would say to wait til december also

#

then you get some good deals on parts for the holidays

polar gyro
#

thx for the input guys. I think it's worth waiting then.

tall mantle
#

yeah

#

that 2080 super is going to be like 350 soon

spiral zealot
#

Zen 3 (Ryzen 4000) announcement is October 8th, RDNA2 (next gen Radeon) announcement is October 28th.

tall mantle
#

yep

spiral zealot
#

Both will go on sale presumably within a couple of weeks of each announcement.

polar gyro
#

got ya

tall mantle
#

yeah if you built that pc for the price it is now it would probably be about 700 dollars less by december

#

really bad depreciation

polar gyro
#

that's a lot 🙂

#

One question though, I am using Davinci Resolve. For a smooth editing experience, in CPU, how many cores and threads will you guys suggest ?

knotty drum
#

@midnight flame yeah you can always grab parts on Black Friday

#

Make sure you get it on the first day otherwise most things will be sold out lol

tall mantle
#

6c12t is enough for a lot but if you're doing intense rendering then i'd suggest 10c 20t or 12c 24t

spiral zealot
#

Yeah, I would look at whatever the Ryzen 4000 version of the 3900x is, potentially the 4900x. 12c/24t would probably be the sweet spot if you aren't going full HEDT like Threadripper or something.

tall mantle
#

^

polar gyro
#

hmm, does Ryzen currently have a 12c/24t ?

tall mantle
#

yes

#

the ryzen 9 3900x has 12c 24t

polar gyro
#

got it

tall mantle
#

but I would hold down the fort until Ryzen 4000

spiral zealot
#

I'm just assuming that if they keep the same naming structure for Zen 3, the 12c/24t CPU for the 4000 series will be the 4900x. But I could be wrong on their naming.

tall mantle
#

just so you can get the best bang for your buck

midnight flame
#

Make sure you get it on the first day otherwise most things will be sold out lol
ikr

polar gyro
#

so you mean, B Friday right ?

tall mantle
#

yes

polar gyro
#

ok

tall mantle
#

or whenever AMD releases their new cpu's and gpu's

polar gyro
#

ok

tall mantle
#

just so you have the most options for the best prices

knotty drum
#

@midnight flame let’s talk here

#

No timer lol

midnight flame
#

yeah

#

it has 16gb of ddr3 on it its just hard to see from the angle

knotty drum
#

You got 16gb ram cards?

midnight flame
#

or he had swapped the sticks i forget

#

16gb total

#

its a duel 8

knotty drum
#

Ohh ok it’s just so thin lol

#

I can see it now

#

That’s cool! I have 16gb as wel

#

But I’m planning on upgrading to 32gb

midnight flame
#

yeah i think he swapped them cuz those ones look thinner than the ones that are on it now

#

mine supports up to 32 so i can only add on 16 more

knotty drum
#

Yeah it’s up to you. But honestly 16gb is enough for most things

midnight flame
#

the people on this server are a lot less judgee than other servers i have been in

#

yea i wasnt planning on doing it soon, more of when it starts to run a bit slower or something

knotty drum
#

Yeah I understand and people don’t understand that not everyone can get what they want all the time

#

Things cost money

midnight flame
#

ye a lot of us gotta work a ton to be able to get the stuff we are wanting

knotty drum
#

Yeah

#

Agreed

#

Including myself lol

#

So you’re waiting for a new gpu right?

#

I forgot which gpu are you planning on getting?

midnight flame
#

i was planning on getting 1660 super or ti not sure but now i might get rtx 2070 or 2080 idk

#

i gtg for about 10-15 min

knotty drum
#

Ok 👍

midnight flame
#

cya in a few

knotty drum
#

Ok cya

polar gyro
#

thx guys, cya

robust tide
#

Do y'all prefer white or black builds?

plucky acorn
#

I'm so dumb sorry I keep pressing ctrl instead of shift adn I end up switching servers rt

midnight flame
#

im back

#

@knotty drum

next frigate
#

new here but quick questions, hopefully someone might know the answer. I'm picking up a rtx 3090 for the current build, replacing my 980 ti, yes it's been that long since i upgraded last lol. I have a 4790k, how bad of a bottleneck is that going to be? mobo is a asus z87 pro with a 1150 socket so i dont feel like upgrading to the newest gen cpu and mobo unless i HAVE to. any ideas?

midnight flame
#

sorry bro im not sure, i havent researched the rtx 3000 series yet

next frigate
#

all good. unfortunately since its so new there's hardly any info on this yet

midnight flame
#

yeah thats mainly why i dont know lol

knotty drum
#

@next frigate amd or Intel?

next frigate
#

intel

knotty drum
#

I5?

next frigate
#

i currently have the 4790k

midnight flame
#

i think that would be i5

next frigate
#

its a i7

midnight flame
#

o

knotty drum
#

Then you’ll be fine

midnight flame
#

noice

next frigate
#

it was top cpu for gen 4 but apparently we're at gen 9 already. i missed the memo lol

knotty drum
#

I asked people around and they said i7 is fine

latent storm
#

so i just heard that zen 3 is coming out in october and was wondering if it would be a good idea to sell my cpu and motherboard for a ryzen 4000 and b550

knotty drum
#

I’m not sure about i5

midnight flame
#

idk at all lol

spiral zealot
#

i7 is up to 10th gen now, so it will definitely be a bottleneck, but i don't think it will be a major enough bottleneck to really hold you back, especially if you run it with any kind of OC on it

#

put some extra clock speed into a 4th gen i7 and it will still perform pretty well compared to modern stuff in raw performance

#

if you can't upgrade both platform and GPU at the same time but you want to get 3000 series, I would say try and get the GPU first, since supply there will be in very high demand

#

and then you can upgrade the rest of the platform later when you can

little osprey
#

Quick question, when it's the day that the 3090 is coming out, do you think it'll come out at midnight on the 24th?

deft grotto
#

hey does anyone have recommendations for a $1500 part list?

#

the 3000 series nvidia gpus can be used

midnight flame
#

what would be a good upgrade from a i5 3.2ghz cpu?

#

im thinking an i7 but you know cpu prices jump pretty quick

#

and i havent looked much at amd so if anyone knows any good ones please let me know

spiral zealot
#

it really depends on what specific i5 you have now, what your budget is, and what your use case is

deep skiff
#

^

little osprey
#

Also, Quick question, when it's the day that the 3090 is coming out, do you think it'll come out at midnight on the 24th?

next kestrel
#

u should get a custom loop :))

little osprey
#

huh?

midnight flame
#

thats what my pc is i think

next kestrel
#

tbh, I'd get everything new except the psu/case

#

the i7 won't be enough of a perf increase to justify your upgrade

knotty drum
#

My cpu?

next kestrel
#

no, turtlewilmeth

knotty drum
#

I7 9700?

next kestrel
#

the i7 that fits on his motherboard

#

likely the 4770

knotty drum
#

Ohhh ok I just got on here

#

I’m currently playing dead by daylight lol

#

Man right now I’m having a hard time making decisions if I should sell my msg gaming x 2070s to get 3080

#

But thing is I don’t have 4K monitors

little osprey
midnight flame
#

lol you want me to just get a whole new pc XD

knotty drum
#

If you got the money I’d change your hdd to ssd lol

#

Fast and beast set up

#

@little osprey

#

I like lian li

little osprey
#

yeah I like the case aswell, I am at a 3.1K budget so idk if I can change to another ssd

knotty drum
#

Man id get 2tb ssd lol

#

That’s what I want

midnight flame
#

i think thats what i have

#

its 2 tb of something is all i remember atm

desert gulch
#

Turtle two terrabytes of what?

#

"Homework"?

#

Kinda sus ngl

#

Lmao

knotty drum
#

Ssd? Lol

desert gulch
#

But we havent learned whats on his tb ssd

#

*2tb

midnight flame
#

idk what it is if its ssd or hdd

#

and ryan what do you mean what on his 2tb ssd

#

and also whoever said that i should basically replace all the internals of my pc what motherboard and all should i put in to it

little osprey
midnight flame
#

i think i got one

little osprey
#

oh perfect, thanks homie

odd crypt
#

Hey

#

R8 my friends build

little osprey
#

Can someone make me a pc part list for 1300?

odd crypt
#

I can

little osprey
#

ok

#

rgb if u can please

odd crypt
#

Oh

#

I went of off performance

civic kiln
#

Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 3 3100?

odd crypt
#

2600

vital warren
#

wait for benchmarks because we are still unsure if a 3600 + 3070 would work

#

and it can be switched to white rgb case + ram for same price if u want me to redo the list

#

hope it fits ur needs

knotty thorn
#

what’s a decent gpu i can buy that’s not super expensive, i just wanna run games like cs, valorant, and overwatch

midnight flame
#

what do you think of my build?

vital warren
#

mobo is quite expensive for budget

#

would be fine with a b550 phantom

#

$115

#

1660ti isnt really good value i'd go for a 1660s or a 2060 instead

#

don't really need the extra cooler either

#

stock cooler will be fine

wraith trail
#

dwella

vital warren
#

yo

wraith trail
#

u got a list for like 900usd

vital warren
#

i can put one together in a few after this overwatch game

#

i'll make a list and shoot you a dm in a little

midnight flame
#

i kinda just added stuff i thought might be helpful lol

wraith trail
#

also

#

is it worth getting a computer or upgrade

#

Cpu - i7 6700k
Mobo- z170x-gaming 7
Cooler- Corsair H60
Ram- G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16G
Gpu- GTX 1070 8g
Ssd- 256GB samsung evo 870
psu - EVGA 650w gold

I am shopping for a new motherboard to pair with the Nvidia 3070 and was looking at the ASUS Prime X570-P Ryzen 3 ATX Motherboard but don't know much about computer parts since this is my first build any opinion's on this motherboard or which one I should go with?

vital warren
#

it doesnt seem all that bad

#

pretty low on storage though

wraith trail
#

ive got 2tb hhd

vital warren
#

is it not meeting the performance you want anymore?

wraith trail
#

yea

vital warren
#

if you think you need to upgrade i'd go for it, could get extra money for budget by selling those parts

#

could maybe recycle ssd

wraith trail
#

the budget was for a freind

#

i was thinking of getting the 2070 super since the be cheap now

midnight flame
#

1660ti isnt really good value i'd go for a 1660s or a 2060 instead
the 1660 ti is better preforming than super

vital warren
#

pretty much the same

midnight flame
#

yeah its close but i guess the super is cheaper and you only lose like 5 fps max and thats only on some games

#

hows that look now

#

the one thing i like is that this system is 700 dollars with 2 monitors and everything needed to run, i already have storage so yay

#

but who knows how long it would be until i had enough money to buy this XD

stoic island
#

when you have enough money to buy

#

make new list

#

things change

midnight flame
#

yeah i was planning on it ima just keep watching it for any prices changes, maybe around Christmas or black friday and then maybe be able to get it then, but it proably would be smarter to wait

#

or be able to at least upgrade some things in the pc i have now if prices drop enough

steep escarp
#

Anyone have an AORUS Z490 Extreme?

midnight flame
#

nah

vital warren
#

nice mines worth 100

midnight flame
#

lol you seem to know a lot about computers, how could you possibly only have a pc worth 100$????

vital warren
#

compared to some people in this server, i know little to none

#

just how to budget a build decently

#

i'm in the process of building my new computer

#

but this old pc is still kicking

midnight flame

Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 3 3100?
@civic kiln 3100 for gaming

#

2600 if you want the 6 cores for streaming I guess

civic kiln
#

Oke thank you

#

Ppl were telling me to get the 3100 bc then I can get a newer motherboard without doing the bios thing

Do I have my AIO mounted the wrong way?

#

I've heard some say it's supposed to be flipped, tubes at the bottom

@knotty drum what ram do you have?

#

I have 32g with a different motherboard, mine definitely won't fit

knotty drum
#

same ram

#

probably different mobo

#

i think putting it on front wont hurt

How much room does a GPU need to have between the front panel fans to have efficient airflow? Was looking to get a Fractal Meshify C case but looking at the length of these AIB cards I'm a bit conflicted.

#

i am going with the saem case

#

the case is good

#

how long is the gpu

pallid hull
#

Don't know, looking to get a Gigabyte card and they haven't posted dimensions yet for their cards. Though second option would be the ASUS TUF one which is 300MM

#

Leaves 15mm of room with front fans installed

little osprey
#

yyea

pallid hull
#

So would that be enough room for efficient airflow?

#

3080 FE or AIB?

pallid hull
#

Ugh is that a question you're asking for yourself?

rich void
#

Nobody will know until reviews come out

#

That and for AIB models it'll be by model, not just aib v fe
