[foggy hazel]

send it as a pm.

and yes @stoic island i see you being a cheeky git up there

[past harness]

so you want me to pm yopu

you

[foggy hazel]

that allows you to post without having to worry about the language.

[hasty bear]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XwJjPn

can someone give opinion?

thank you

[foggy hazel]

at its core, its a solid system

i would upgrade the HDD to the 2tb compute model

because its .. 10-ish usd more for a doubling in storage :)

[hasty bear]

and everything look good right Naed?

[near garden]

Hey guys do you guys think it’s to late to get a rtx 2060 with a Ryzen 5 3600x?

[foggy hazel]

aye, i am however curious about the GPU choice?

this is for doing actual work on it looks like

[hasty bear]

how about the case? do I need to buy another fan?

and the cooling it is not compatible with the case? can you take a look?

[past harness]

naed i dmed you

[foggy hazel]

you have many questions, and i will anwer them all @hasty bear, but it would make things simpler if you could answer my GPU question above

@past harness noted

[stoic island]

Hehe

I'll try to limit the amount of pings towards you, and move some of it to @ forky or googling :)

[hasty bear]

is my GPU not suitable ? first time I try to build lol

[foggy hazel]

i am curious about the choice :)

why that one?

@stoic island no worries about the pings, i dont mind at all, you should know this by now

[stoic island]

(How does that specific gpu help in your work, and why that budget for the GPU?)

Of course, just using it as a display adapter is a valid reason

[hasty bear]

I work with autodesk, mathlab, solid works so I chose 6GB

Really appreciate for recommend another one

[foggy hazel]

nah, for that it is perfectly fine @hasty bear

now, let me run through your questions :)

[stoic island]

Should we go over the 970evo being overpriced part?

[foggy hazel]

for that kind of work, its okay/fine/reasonable @stoic island

[stoic island]

Alright I guess, not even sn750/sx8200 pro?

[foggy hazel]

we can, but it truly does not matter much aside from a bit of pocket change (unless i am not remembering the prices right)

[stoic island]

20$ difference, small in the grand scheme, but I felt it was worthwhile to bring up

[foggy hazel]

@hasty bear re: case: Its a solid case, nice and discrete look to it. Good construction and nice to build in.

re: another fan: you dont have to. You can if you want. But you dont have to at all.

re: cooling not compatible: That is a generic warning, that is not relevant anymore for that specific cooler.

re: Gpu: it makes perfect sense for what you do.

Does that answer all the questions you wanted to ask?

aye, and a valid point @stoic island

[hasty bear]

Im also work with Python, Java, C++

so the GPU is good right?

[foggy hazel]

see above :)

[hasty bear]

ok

thank you Naed

[foggy hazel]

you are very welcome @hasty bear

[little osprey]

So my wifi/Bluetooth adapter came in. Booting it up rn

Says up to 2974 Mbps, I wonder how much I'll get

[foggy hazel]

40

[stoic island]

I bet 80

[little osprey]

Lol

If only I knew how to test....oh wait I do

[hasty bear]

@foggy hazel should I get the Temperred Glass or None Side panel for the case?

[foggy hazel]

i personally like my cases without windows, but it is entirely up to you

i just like my machines to do their job and not be noticed while doing it :)

[hasty bear]

nice lol

[small heron]

i pet my pc and call it nick names and have movie nights with it to make sure it knows that i appreciate its power.@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

stuff like that belongs in #general-chat @small heron

[small heron]

😉

[foggy hazel]

that too.

[tall mantle]

J

[calm crypt]

So imm still working on the optiplex and I found a decent priced 1050ti sff but he doesn’t have the sff bracket will it work if I just completely remove the bracket

[foggy hazel]

think about the mechanical logistics of that @calm crypt

[calm crypt]

Lol imma guess no?

[foggy hazel]

correct

nothing would be fixating the card itself

[calm crypt]

I mean rather like the bracket that covers the dvi ports and stuff

Ok yea gotcha

[foggy hazel]

aye, that bracket is what holds it to the case

BUT

you should have a fairly easy time finding a spare bracket

[calm crypt]

Well the pc lays on its back not up height

Believe it or not I’ve been looking for a half hour and can’t find a single one for a 1050 only for single cards or vga cards

[foggy hazel]

show me the outputs on the card you are looking to purchase

[calm crypt]

Kk

[foggy hazel]

so, a "single bracket dp + hdmi" will do the trick for you

sorry, that is wrong

[calm crypt]

Oh awesome I wasn’t sure if it would I thot it would thanks so much bro I appreciate u

Oop lol

[foggy hazel]

single DVI bracket will do the trick

i was thinking about something else when i typed the first one :)

[calm crypt]

Ok cool

[foggy hazel]

because if you look at the above picture

[calm crypt]

Lol gotcha

Ye it’s just the dvi on top

[foggy hazel]

IF you imagine the bracket "only" covering the DVI side

you have a "fix" point in the screws on the dvi connector

[calm crypt]

Yea it’ll still be fine if I use dp tho right

Yep I gotcha

[foggy hazel]

aye aye

dp and hdmi will work just fine

its just to prevent the card from being jostled around every time you touch the cable

[calm crypt]

Awesome thanks so so much bro

Ok yea I gotcha

[foggy hazel]

np, best of luck on the hunt :)

[calm crypt]

And 120 is a good price for that 4gb 1050ti right

[foggy hazel]

for a HH card? i think so, but i have NOT looked on the used market in the states for stuff like that

[calm crypt]

HH?

[foggy hazel]

half height

[calm crypt]

O gotcha lol

[foggy hazel]

let me just have a look.

[calm crypt]

Yea man thanks I appreciate u big time I’ll see if I could get it for 110 ofc lol

Ok bet

[foggy hazel]

give me a couple of minutes

[calm crypt]

Yea I haven’t seen anything under 130ish

[prisma stag]

is a good ssd needed? like could i buy a cheap ssd or do i need an expensive one

also what about an IHD

[calm crypt]

Depends is it just a boot drive

[prisma stag]

does and internal hard drive effect performance any way?

[calm crypt]

Wellll what do you mean

Instead of an external one

[prisma stag]

no i mean

[foggy hazel]

here is the non-short answer

https://www.anandtech.com/show/2738

[prisma stag]

like can i just buy a cheap ihd instead of buying an expensive one that has same storage capacity

[foggy hazel]

do note, there are a number of pages to that article.

[calm crypt]

Ok so like cheap hdds depends u reallly want a brand new one with 7200rpm

Preferably a seagate or WD

[prisma stag]

id like to upgrade this

Team MP34 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

i have that on my build list but i feel like upgrading it

[spiral zealot]

i would keep that, and just add a large HDD as secondary for storage

[little osprey]

Those are quite good

[spiral zealot]

you can get a 2TB 7200RPM HDD for $55

[calm crypt]

Yep agree

[spiral zealot]

and keep the MP34 as your boot drive

[calm crypt]

And for main games

[proven vessel]

My ps4 can run a game better than my pc

[calm crypt]

Bc 512 is enough for a bit

[proven vessel]

F

[calm crypt]

My ps4 can run a game better than my pc
@proven vessel oof what specs

[spiral zealot]

Yeah, 512 is enough for your OS and a few games that you have in heavy rotation.

[proven vessel]

R9 380

[calm crypt]

Oh boy lol

It was a good card it’s still pretty solid sometimes

[proven vessel]

And a intel e5-2620

[calm crypt]

xD

[proven vessel]

I get like 50 fps lol

[spiral zealot]

yeah I just built a budget system for a flip with an r9 380

but it's definitely a low end system

[calm crypt]

Yea good HTPC

[spiral zealot]

I mean, in 2016 it was a $600 entry level machine lol

[proven vessel]

I wanna get a new pc so bad but its so expensive

[spiral zealot]

so it can still run new-ish games, just not current AAA stuff

[calm crypt]

Well u could get an optiplex and put a 1650super in it

[spiral zealot]

^

[calm crypt]

For around 350 or less total

[prisma stag]

anyone know the price the 3080 will be and when it will be available for purchase?

[calm crypt]

I think 700

[proven vessel]

350 is still alot for me

[calm crypt]

It’s j gotcha

U could do one for around 275 with a 1050ti

[proven vessel]

Isnt the 3080 gonna be out soon

[spiral zealot]

@prisma stag -https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/ scroll to the bottom

has starting MSRP and release dates

for 3070/3080/3090

[proven vessel]

I wanna get a 2060 super is what im saving for

Which is like over 300

[calm crypt]

Nahhh u could get one for less used I believe

[proven vessel]

Or if i have enough ill get the 3070

[prisma stag]

awesome thank you chauntel

o wow

the 3070 will be 200 bucks less than the 3080, i wonder if that would be just as good for my use

[foggy hazel]

@calm crypt and i just got reminded why i dislike the search function on ebay

[calm crypt]

xD what happened

[little osprey]

How is a power supply supposed to sleep

[foggy hazel]

its just not very accurate Jax :)

[calm crypt]

Yea that’s superrrr true

[proven vessel]

the 3070 will be 200 bucks less than the 3080, i wonder if that would be just as good for my use
@prisma stag it prob will be but idrk much abt these things

[spiral zealot]

the 3070 is supposed to be faster than a 2080ti, according to nvidia

[proven vessel]

Pog

[spiral zealot]

so if the 3rd party reviews reflect that, it's a hell of a deal for $500

and the 3080 is supposed to be 2x faster than a 2080

[prisma stag]

i just want something that will let me play battlefield on max settings

[calm crypt]

But I think I’ll try to get it for around 110 for the 1050ti and oh wel if I got ripped it’s the cheapest I see it atm lol thanks @foggy hazel

[spiral zealot]

i think the 3070 is really the sweet spot for most folks

[foggy hazel]

its not a bad price for a HH as i said

and the bracket should as mentioned be easy enough to find :)

[calm crypt]

Yea I’ll give it a shot mate thanks

[foggy hazel]

you are very welcome :)

[prisma stag]

Yea i might pair my r7 3700x with the 3070

[proven vessel]

What is a optical drive

[foggy hazel]

cd/dvd/blu-ray drive

[proven vessel]

Oh

How is this

[small heron]

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/graphics-cards/30-series/rtx-3080/@prisma stag

[proven vessel]

Im gonna look for a job like rn

The pc got me acting unwise

[proven anvil]

Anyone got some problems w the Thermaltake White Smart PSU? Mine came out of the box dead.

[foggy hazel]

@proven anvil that is just normal statistics of mass production in action.

[prisma stag]

hey guys i know i got alot of questions lol

what is a good monitor that would pair with the 3080 im getting

[formal badge]

4K IPS @prisma stag

nvidias demo they were playing Doom Eternal 4k max settings on a stable 120+ fps

[foggy hazel]

and what demo exactly are you talking about there @formal badge ?

[formal badge]

https://youtu.be/A7nYy7ZucxM

[foggy hazel]

okay, reminder: NEVER trust what a vendor shows you

[formal badge]

lol ok

[foggy hazel]

there are SO many ways that can be both true and false info

[formal badge]

ok

[tall mantle]

Exactly

[foggy hazel]

just have patience, review embargo lifts in less than 24 hours

[tall mantle]

Only listen to consumer reviews

[formal badge]

regardless, isnt 4k in mind when it comes to 3080

[tall mantle]

Theres gonna be tons of vids for you to watch by tomorrow to help you make your decision

[foggy hazel]

basically, 12½ hours from now

[tall mantle]

Yes

[foggy hazel]

and do yourself a favour, dont watch videoes in the start

[tall mantle]

@formal badge yes but maybe not as much as they advertised

[foggy hazel]

read the actual reviews

[tall mantle]

Yes

[foggy hazel]

and @formal badge, my comments here has nothing to do with it being a nvidia card. Its any product

at any price level

[peak shore]

If I were to get a 3080 I would want to pair it with a 240hz 1440p monitor

[formal badge]

im not too hot with 4k gaming myself as well

[tall mantle]

Nah, 1024×768 500hz

Lol

[formal badge]

i still play 16:9 bc all i play is csgo

i mean 4:3 stretched

[cursive wharf]

2080Ti playing Metro Exodus at 4k with max settings is 40fps, +50% with what is most likely a best case scenario then 60fps, still pretty bad unless DLSS

[peak shore]

Keep in mind double a 2080 playing horizon zero dawn would be 150 fps @1440p. I would think at 4k that would be much closer to 100 fps

Or less

[cursive wharf]

double a underclocked 2080

FE design with low PL

[peak shore]

My evga 2080 super gets 70 ish fps in HZD 1440p max. I would guess best case scenario for some of these graphics intensive games on 3080 would be 70-90 fps @4k max

Doom is a very smooth and well optimized game, so keep that in mind.

It runs way faster than metro, tomb raider, HZD, far cry, AC, etc.

[meager pumice]

u think 3080 can do 4k 144?

[formal badge]

3080 i can really feel all those 10 more fps making my CS:GO run much more smooth, best $700 i spent

[foggy hazel]

in something? yes

in everything? no

with dlss? depends on how you define things

[peak shore]

For games like rainbow six, csgo, overwatch absolutely

[meager pumice]

apex?

[foggy hazel]

basically, numbers are going to be a cluster hump of fairly epic proportions.

[peak shore]

Apex probably not

Well at max settings at least

[meager pumice]

ya ok

[peak shore]

Turn some stuff down and it can probably do it

[formal badge]

im honestly more excited about nvidia reflex considering my rig is more than capable of running the games i play

which is just competitive csgo lol

[peak shore]

Is that the input latency stats?

[formal badge]

yeah idk if its bs but ill trying that when it comes out

[peak shore]

That sounded gimmicky as crap but I was into it lol

You have to have a compatible monitor for it

But I think 1440 240hz is gonna be the sweet spot for 3080. You'll hit 240+ on the competitive games, and 120+ on the gorgeous AAA adventure games

[formal badge]

i think Zowie's DyAc and that new 360hz panel from Asus can make the most out of that new driver

that new monitor costs as much as a 3080 LMAO

[peak shore]

I forgot about that 360hz monitor lol

Yeah the cheapest 2k 240 is $550

[meager pumice]

you prolly cant tell the difference between 240 and 360

[formal badge]

but im impressed how fast IPS is nowadays

[peak shore]

4k 144 is like $800

[formal badge]

TN is going to be obsolete

soon

[peak shore]

They're all counting on gaming nerds with big pockets

[foggy hazel]

@formal badge it has looked like TN was obsolete a number of times

i would LOVE if this time it did fall by the way side.

but i am not holding my breath for it happening.

[peak shore]

If TN can continue to offer inexpensive high refresh rate solutions it will stay around.

[stoic island]

It doesn't really hurt or benefit us from disappearing, just not many reasons to grab one nowadays

[peak shore]

If IPS is able to bridge the performance and cost gap then I don't see any advantage to TN

But if it can only bridge one of those gaps, TN will still have market relevance.

[stoic island]

Of course

[foggy hazel]

what personally annoys me about TN is laptop use

[stoic island]

Why's that?

Really high latency or pixel response?

[foggy hazel]

colour shift

[stoic island]

ah

[foggy hazel]

as in, viewing angles

here, lets give you a adjustable screen

but you have to crack your neck "just so" or you wont be able to actually tell red from blue on it

[stoic island]

I mean, people say viewing angles are a downside to VA panels, but it's not that bad in practice, is it that much worse on TN?

oh damn

[peak shore]

It's adjustable so you can always have it square to your face

[foggy hazel]

its a "silly" logic is my point @peak shore

we have had better panels than TN for laptop for years

[peak shore]

TN is bad vertically

Like really really bad

[formal badge]

i can confirm

my second monitor is on portrait and its TN

[foggy hazel]

the only reason it is not considered horrendous from the sides is because the vertical angles are an abomination

[formal badge]

the viewing angle is very narrow lol

[foggy hazel]

https://www.gamersnexus.net/images/media/2015/features/tn-display-angle.jpg

that one came to mind when you asked about it @stoic island

[stoic island]

oh god

[deep skiff]

that bottom right one

[stoic island]

why does that bottom right tn panel remind me of my old laptop

[foggy hazel]

because TN panels

[stoic island]

I don't know what panel is on it

[foggy hazel]

yours or the picture?

[stoic island]

Mine

[foggy hazel]

ah :)

[stoic island]

bought it like 4 years ago

haven't booted it up since I used it to download win10 onto usb stick xDDD

[foggy hazel]

if it isnt a mac, then its most likely TN

[stoic island]

I'll have to check it when I go home again :D

[civic kiln]

anyone know any good cheap thermal paste

[stoic island]

Mx-4

great cheap-ish thermal paste

[civic kiln]

oke thank u

[calm crypt]

Omfg that’s literally my laptop that’s an Lenovo x1 carbon right

I hate it 😂

[celest horizon]

Thinkpad master race

[little osprey]

yeah

[calm crypt]

Oops lol

Wel im still talking abt a thnbkpad so lol

[bright kelp]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TKTBsk is this good for ~800 usd

[rustic sandal]

@bright kelp good build but don’t get a mini case for only a micro board

[bright kelp]

what case should I get then

[little leaf]

what...

that case is fine

[bright kelp]

okay cool

thanks

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/D7GZgJ

@fast dust

[fast dust]

oh baby

i like it

except motherboard

its eh

[little osprey]

Gmmm

[fast dust]

but it works

[little osprey]

Hmmm*

So all I'm looking to replace is the case

With a 6 fan case that is hopefully cheaper or same price

[fast dust]

MX-330G maybe?

[little osprey]

Hmm

[fast dust]

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-ACFAN00137A-Value-Pack-Pressure-Optimized/dp/B07HC782D5

then these fans

[proven vessel]

Im thinking about getting a 3070 and a amd ryzen 5 3600

When i can afford it

Is that good?

[fast dust]

sure

[little osprey]

What would be the approximate price @fast dust ?

[fast dust]

like $100 or less

and no rgb

[little osprey]

Basically same price

Just like $10 more or something but for more performance

[fast dust]

also max gpu length is 350mm so if your 3080 is longer like it wont fit

and mx-330G only supports 5 fans which will still be good but ik you wanted 6 for some reason

[little osprey]

Nah

Just wanted more fans than 3

[stoic island]

MX330-g

[little osprey]

Hmmm

Will the 3080 fit in it or is it unknown still?

[stoic island]

we have size specs so

we can check

I'm guessing yes

[fast dust]

MX330-g
oops

[haughty comet]

ooooh @little osprey niceeee

i like ur build list

[little osprey]

Thanks lol @stoic island made it

[grave drum]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[bright kelp]

hey thats my exact same build

[pallid hull]

same what the hell

[white pasture]

hey whats a affordable build?

[fast dust]

affordable can be different to different people

to some its $300 to others its $800

[white pasture]

$400

[proven vessel]

50k

DrDisrespects pc is supposed to be 315k

[little osprey]

Say, I have a b450, would that work for a 7 3700x?

I have an Asus rog Strix b450-f

[calm crypt]

Yessir just gotta make sure the bios is updated

@little osprey

[little osprey]

So if I'm running a 5 3600 can I make the switch?

Easily?

[calm crypt]

O yea just pull the 3600 out and put the 3700 in

And instal the drivers and stuff but ya it should be plug and play no prob

@little osprey

[little osprey]

Ok thanks

[calm crypt]

Np g

[little osprey]

What if I some day decide to go ryzen 9?

isnt there barely perf boost from 3600 to 3700x

without oc

One 6 core, other is 8 core

And I do OC

[calm crypt]

Still fine u MIGHT wanna swap to x570 for best performance but a nice b450 will work fine

[little osprey]

What about b550?

[calm crypt]

Yea it’s a workload difference for streaming and editing and such

[little osprey]

A bit cheaper than 570 but better than 450

[calm crypt]

What about b550?
@little osprey it’d work but a nice one preferred like a more expensive better features

[little osprey]

I like the Asus ones

[calm crypt]

Same with 450 ya know

Welll not always

Usually good price range like 150ish

[little osprey]

I'm probably going to stick with Asus rog Strix. Might get the crosshair if I go 570

[calm crypt]

If u can have 64gb ram and it has nice heat sinks u should be fine

Yea bet

[little osprey]

I can have 64gb ram

Again this is waaaay down the road and hypothetical for ryzen 9

[calm crypt]

Yea I gotchu

U should be fine especillay for a 3900x if it’s a 3950 go 570 ya know

[little osprey]

👍

What ryzen 7 upgrade would you recommend for an upgrade from a 5 3600

I'm thinking 3700x or 3800x

[calm crypt]

Ummmm id go 3800x

But depends what u gonna be doing

[little osprey]

Mostly high graphics/fps gaming, some streaming eventually

[calm crypt]

Like if ya streaming editing heavy over locking and multitasking and stuff 3800 fs but otherwise the 3700 is fine

[little osprey]

Definitely OC

[calm crypt]

Might high graphics/fps gaming, some streaming eventually
@little osprey yea go for the 3700

Ya I oc mine and regret not getting the x one (I got a 2700 on a 240 rad at 4.1

[late pilot]

im going to build my pc and get everything except fans and hdd, what should i buy first

i have a ssd 500 gb

[little osprey]

Case

[ionic sail]

So I basically built my pc. Finally. Everything came on Monday.
The issues I'm having are the computer randomly freezes and restarts from time to time, and the wifi adapter isn't picking up wifi at all.

I'll give specs in a second

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hjX9hg

[little osprey]

$799.71

[deep sluice]

under $700 anyone?

[spiral zealot]

@ionic sail first thing I would do is check windows event viewer to see if it's a specific app or process that's crashing and causing the reboot

[proven vessel]

@ionic sail

How do i pick a good cpu cooler

[little osprey]

@proven vessel it comes with one

Pretty sure

If not, check out noctura or cooler master

@proven vessel it does come with one

You're good

[proven vessel]

Tys

[stoic island]

@proven vessel why a 3200g tho

[little osprey]

Well doesn’t that processor have integrated graphics? Might be good for someone on a tight budget

My best friend is gonna use that in his new build cause he can’t afford a graphics card

[analog hearth]

I only recommend getting a 3200G if you’re putting a GPU in your system later on

(That’s what everybody recommends, though)

Or if you’re going for a low-power build or an office build

[ionic sail]

@proven vessel the issue was that you may have to update the bios for the mobo to be compatible with the processor.. I didn't need to update the bios

[stoic island]

@little osprey what't the total budget tho, most of the time you go 3200g you can get a Optiplex+GTX1650 build, and most of the time you go 3400g you can get a 3100+GTX1650 build :P

[little osprey]

Idk my friend just told me he was gonna put a new motherboard and a Ryzen 3 apu into his old dell optiplex

[stoic island]

why tho

[little osprey]

He doesn’t have the budget for a gpu, I’m not sure why he decided to go that rout

[stoic island]

uhhh

apu+motherboard price is the same as a GTX1650 lol

it's 150$ for a 1650

:P

[little osprey]

Once again, not sure why he decided on that

But he’s happy with it

[stoic island]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[little osprey]

I would just focus on upgrading the ram and gpu

[stoic island]

I'd grab ssd first and foremost

then gpu, then ram

[little osprey]

True

I think he might have put an ssd in it if I remember correctly

But I wouldnt put upgrading the motherboard and cpu first over ssd, ram, and gpu

[stoic island]

You'll have to upgrade ram when you upgrade mobo so I'd keep that for later

afterall all the optiplex I know use ddr3

[little osprey]

What's popping

[foggy hazel]

good for you. and?

[stoic island]

What are you using it for?

[flint harbor]

hes probably trying to play minecraft with rtx

at at least 15 fps

[foggy hazel]

@flint harbor comments like that belong in #general-chat

[flint harbor]

ok

[robust plover]

So when I play beamngdrive it says gpu not responding can someone help

[plush mist]

are your connections all plugged in right? @robust plover

primarily ur gpu power

or is ur gpu plugged in right?

[pliant wren]

Can i get someone's second opinion? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NqP6vW

[little leaf]

yes

Theres alot of things wrong with that list

Do you have a budget

When are you building this too?

@pliant wren

[pliant wren]

In a couple months

[robust plover]

Yes

[pliant wren]

What can i improve on?

[little leaf]

Ok I would suggest you wait and not make a list now since zen 3 and rdna 2 are coming out too

but I can make a list if you want

[pliant wren]

Yeah i'd really appreciate the help

[little leaf]

Whats the total budget of this build?

[pliant wren]

id say $2500 max

But im trying to get it as low as possible

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NHnQjp

Something like this

but in about a month ryzen 4000 is coming out

[pliant wren]

Thanks, that's alot cheaper than i expected

[vital warren]

and if you need a good monitor with that i'm sure someone has a good suggestion

[little leaf]

for sure

Do you have a 2k monitor yet?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c7ZLWb

[pliant wren]

Not yet

[little leaf]

ok so that gigabyte monitor looks pretty solic

[clever pike]

@little osprey no point in spending that much on ram also wait for next gen ryzen

also unless ur oc'ing a lot u doing need that mboard tbh

u'd do nicely with a $200 b550 board

oh ok thats understandable

[white pasture]

i wonder how many frames a travis burger and squeez out

[clever pike]

I don't think i've ever eaten a burger

nor a pot noodle

and the only fast food i've ever eaten is mc Donald's

hmmm

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/vVgs6R

any tips on this parts lost

list*

[flint harbor]

guys i think im gonna wait on my build for a while. gotta pick up a 5080ti

[clever pike]

xd cya in 4 years then

[flint harbor]

k

i might have enough for a $60 build by then

do you think i can fit a 5080ti?

[clever pike]

yeh 4 sure bro

[bright kelp]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/McWZn7 is this balanced well

I cant actually afford this but this would be my ideal pc so I want to know if its any good

[flint harbor]

uh

the mobo is overpriced

[bright kelp]

ah okay

[flint harbor]

AMD>Intel

[bright kelp]

yeah but cant you overclock the 10900k a lot

[stoic island]

Simply, no.

[flint harbor]

im assuming the 2080ti is a placeholder

[bright kelp]

yeah

[stoic island]

Just don't grab that list

Many issues

[bright kelp]

okay

[flint harbor]

the compute 2tb isnt reliable

the RAM could be CL16

[bright kelp]

okay okay thanks for the critiques

[proven vessel]

2060 super or ti

[bright kelp]

ti is better but more expensive

[little osprey]

neither get a 3070

brain

[bright kelp]

🧠

[stoic island]

what

@proven vessel there's a 2060ti?

[little osprey]

lmao'

[wicked berry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/4jsJFG
I'm going for a streaming and gaming pc using the NVIDIA for encoding.
I'm hoping to get the 2080ti for 800aud is this good?
The 3080 doesn't seem that worth it.
And probably will have to wait another 3mouths before it comes out and prices probably will rise?

[night iron]

@slim zealot At least you have the radiator the right away unlike most people builds.

[slim zealot]

Right!

it's like YOU'rE GOING THE WRONG WAY

[proven vessel]

@stoic island my friend said to get a 2060 ti instead of super he said you will get better performance

[foggy hazel]

there is no 2060 TI card

[slim zealot]

only the 0080 cards are TI

[foggy hazel]

@slim zealot wrong.

[slim zealot]

whoops

[foggy hazel]

1070ti

1050 ti

etc etc

[slim zealot]

I'm still learning, I'm in A+

[stoic island]

@proven vessel do they mean 1660ti instead of super....?

[slim zealot]

probably

[haughty ocean]

is getting a 3070 even worth it

[slim zealot]

YES

[haughty ocean]

is the 8 gigs of vram gonna be enough though

[foggy hazel]

@slim zealot dont go around giving baseless advice.

you can post jokes all you want in #general-chat

dont do it here.

[slim zealot]

k

[rich void]

Probably best to wait for 3070 reviews

[foggy hazel]

@haughty ocean the reviews for the 3070 cards will be out next week

[haughty ocean]

k

but just in ya'lls experience do I want more than 8

[foggy hazel]

we dont know how important ram amount if for that GPU architecture yet.

[haughty ocean]

ah

[proven vessel]

@stoic island yea

[foggy hazel]

ask

[stoic island]

no ti

[foggy hazel]

not something to worry about.

see above.

that changes nothing.

see above again.

your welcome.

[thorny bronze]

If i am adding more ram to my pc so i will have 4 sticks all are the exact same do i have to do anything in bios before or after?

[foggy hazel]

no, that should work just fine as you describe it @thorny bronze

[thorny bronze]

Just stick is in the slots and its good to go?

[foggy hazel]

aye, as long as the board supports it

[thorny bronze]

Ok. Thank you

[foggy hazel]

you are very welcome.

[proven vessel]

I cant find a job

Ive looked for 5 mins lol

[foggy hazel]

that belongs in #general-chat @proven vessel

[proven vessel]

My bad ty

[little leaf]

@wicked berry you realize the 3080 comes out for sale tommorow right?

[small heron]

Ima buy 20 and sell for aib prices

[wicked berry]

@little leaf but it does not seem like it's going to be that good but idk im really confused right now.

[little leaf]

The reviews came out today lmao

https://youtu.be/AG_ZHi3tuyk

[north kindle]

hey folks. I'm building a PC (first time). I have all of the parts except the graphics card but I am hoping to put it together to the extent that I can and then drop in the graphics card when it arrives. I'm specifically trying to connect my psu to my motherboard. The two parts are the Phantex 550 Gold PSU and the ASRock B550M-ITX/ac motherboard. I'm trying to key the power connectors correctly and make sure I don't cross them. First, the motherboard has two power connectors (24 pin ATX PWR 1 and 8 pin ATX 12 V). Do I need to connect both?

[little leaf]

yes

[north kindle]

Motherboard associated with build.

[little leaf]

what gpu are you planning to use?

[wicked berry]

lol okay 3080 is back on the books XD

[little leaf]

shortcut

[north kindle]

GEForce GTX 1660.

[wicked berry]

what do you guys think about go for a 3080 over the rdn 2 just because of dlss 3.0 and other features ?

[foggy hazel]

it will work just fine @north kindle

@wicked berry we dont know, that is for you to decide on.

just like we dont know how the 3070 or 3090 will perform, we dont know how the RDNA2 models will perform

[wicked berry]

it kind of just a general question i want you opinions 😛

[foggy hazel]

my opinion is: I dont know.

for the above listed reasons.

and i personally find it silly to give advice based on guesses :)

[wicked berry]

ptsh that like saying i pick C when there is only A OR B

yeah all good i under stand

ayy naed i just remembered your name you gave me a hand on finding a psu. i was not able to get any in stock 😛

so i have about 2,000aud :F it more money i have every seen in my life XD.
would that cover 3080 full pc with out an m.2 ssd because i have a sata ssd :D.
my pc is bottel necked by me cpu now XD

[little osprey]

hey will i have any issues switching my 1060 3gb to a 3070

I plan on buying the 3070 once I have the money

[little leaf]

whats the cpu and psu?

[foggy hazel]

@wicked berry that depends entirely on how much the Aussie vendors are going to mark things up

[little osprey]

the cpu is an i5-8400 and the PSU I have no idea

[little leaf]

well the psu needs to be around 600 watts

[wicked berry]

stupid vedners -_-

[little leaf]

you might be able to pull off 550

[little osprey]

600 really ? wow

[wicked berry]

whats the chance of getting strait from nvidia 😛

[little osprey]

is there a way to check without opening my PC

[little leaf]

no

[little osprey]

damn

my PC is a prebuilt though I'm assuming I'll have to yank the PSU out of it's slot?

[wicked berry]

oh no oping your pc is not bad 😄 watch some videos should help

[little osprey]

I never said that?

[little leaf]

I don't think a prebuild is going to have a psu that can support a 3070 if the orignal gpu is a 1060

[little osprey]

It's just annoying to have to do, I'm lazy

[wicked berry]

what type of pre build hp/lenovo and so the yes

but if it's one of those fancy pre builds then prob no

[little osprey]

I had my PSU swapped at some point because my other one died, but it was my friend's PSU he had used for a very similar build to mine

[little leaf]

I don't think that its worth your time the chances your psu can support more than a 1060 is not likely

[little osprey]

I'm not sure what wattage it is, I just remember installing it because he used it on his build that is literally identical to mine (same gpu, different CPU)

[tough wagon]

Hello people, so I’ve never built or had a pc before but I want to get one. What do you guys recommend? ( my budget is $1250)

[little leaf]

3600x 3070

oh nvm 3600 is now cheap

[little osprey]

very good budget but anyways, I won't have to worry about any incompatibilities in terms of PCIE cables or anything

like with my mobo or anything?

[wicked berry]

@tough wagon usd ?

[little leaf]

not with the mobo but the psu is the most worrying thing

[little osprey]

alright

[tough wagon]

Yes usd

[little osprey]

I'll see if I'll be needing a new PSU then

[wicked berry]

@tough wagon you might be able to wait for the 3070 and pair it with a good cpu,ssd and 16gbs ram.

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WFP3f9

[wicked berry]

i was going to do a part list but i have to go to bed sorry

[little leaf]

@tough wagon

[wicked berry]

lol

[little leaf]

lmao forgot ram

[wicked berry]

XD wam

[tough wagon]

Yeah I kinda need that

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W38Yp8

5 dollar key of windows off ebay

[wicked berry]

nom nom can you make me a 2000aud pc 😛

[little leaf]

sure

[wicked berry]

1,459.47usd

[little leaf]

wow aus prices hurt

[wicked berry]

i do have like an extra 300 butt thats like if something need to be priced up

yes :-:

soo 2300 but more close to 2000 XD

[foggy hazel]

and yes @little leaf AUS prices are "interesting"

[little leaf]

when are you building speed?

[wicked berry]

when the zen 3 comes i geuss ?

[little leaf]

ok

[foggy hazel]

the main problem is not the prices. its the actual availability

[tough wagon]

Can I get a pc with the rtx 3070 1250usd budget or is the 3070 to expensive?

[foggy hazel]

nah, that can be done @tough wagon

[little leaf]

I just did

[wicked berry]

aud use to be 1.7 per usd

[little leaf]

Marty I just made you a list that was 1150

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W38Yp8

[foggy hazel]

@tough wagon all it takes it that you look at either of the two times @little leaf has posted a link for you

[tough wagon]

Oh thanks nom nom I didn’t see it lol

[foggy hazel]

the pesky thing about eyes, its the first thing you go blind on.

[tough wagon]

Dang

[wicked berry]

Nah my skin was blind from birth

[foggy hazel]

you think @wicked berry

[tough wagon]

My ears went blind and my nose went deaf

[wicked berry]

Nah it doesn't think

Lol build chat being filled with body part that cannot see

[tough wagon]

Wanna know why I can’t see?

[little leaf]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/W38Yp8

something like this

[tough wagon]

That looks pretty good

Thx nom nom

[little leaf]

oops

trying to get the aud one

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6WzYp8

[wicked berry]

Lol

[foggy hazel]

fair warning

shipping MIGHT get bonkers on those newegg parts

because Australia

[little leaf]

ye just make sure

[foggy hazel]

do NOT just blindly follow that list

especially NOT when its made so far in advance :)

[little leaf]

[foggy hazel]

come back again closer to the launch :)

[wicked berry]

Yeah

[foggy hazel]

and thank you @little leaf for doing those lists. i was being pulled into a bunch of dm conversations

[wicked berry]

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/6TZRf9 I have some room with the bugget because I have an 1tb SSD and 2tb hdd

[little leaf]

np

oh nice

I still don't know why people like to go into dms for lists

[foggy hazel]

its not lists, its trouble shooting stuff

if its lists i kick them back here :)

[little leaf]

I still think they should just ask here because people aren't here all the time

[wicked berry]

Trouble shooting is so not fun most of the time. But when you fix it oh that feels so good

[foggy hazel]

we cannot enforce it

hence why i am always on DnD mode

dont want my discord bouncing all over the place during the day

[wicked berry]

Ip track them go to there house and Boddy slam them and give them arm Twistys until the follow the rules

Obviously they have to say uncle

First

Okay I got to go to bed sorry for bad jokes

[foggy hazel]

:P

[wicked berry]

With the GPU should I go for it asp or just wait until I can get the full PC?
I would need a new case CPU PSU ... Probably wait right XD a single fan 1050ti is hard to get in to my case

[little leaf]

wait for full pc

some parts may come doa

and you might not be able to return

[wicked berry]

Yeah true and maybe I can get a PSU that comes with a 12 pin ooh and 12v

[foggy hazel]

aye

[wicked berry]

Saving the planet with better power efficiency and I got solar panels

[foggy hazel]

well, the seasonic focus comes with a free 12pin shipped from seasonic upon proof of ownership of 30xx card

[wicked berry]

Nice

But is it 12v

12v it might not be hmm

[foggy hazel]

https://www.techpowerup.com/272156/seasonic-details-12-pin-modular-cable-free-for-geforce-30-series-owners

as for the 12v spec, that one is specifically intel only for now.

[wicked berry]

Yoda said that on the last star wars

[fallow spade]

Ayy anybody wona help me with a build up to 500 or 600 us dolars possible including periferals i m new at this thanks if anybody can help message me in pm or here i m check later

I do t want to make a mistake its mainly a gaming sistem or do sum photo editing

Dont*^

[little osprey]

Probably be best to save a couple hundred more if you want to include peripherals
Would get more value for your parts

[granite delta]

@wet falcon

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fKr6vW

[wet falcon]

I’m here

Thx

[granite delta]

Np

[wet falcon]

At that point should I just get a gpu

?

[granite delta]

Wdym?

What’s your budget?

[wet falcon]

Bc if I got a cheaper cpu and a gpu it’d run better right?

Like $500

[granite delta]

I mean

I don’t really know

I think you’re better off going with a 3400g then adding a 1650 super later

You only want it for siege

And the 3400g can def hold up

[stoic island]

Bro siege isn't that easy to run for 1080p144

@granite delta my friend who had a 3400g before upgrading to a gpu only got about 60fps all low

[granite delta]

He never said 144

Plus

Doesn’t 3200g run all low at 60fps

So how would a 3400g do the same

[stoic island]

I'm saying it's hard to run well

Doesn't matter 144 or not

60fps avg all low is not good

[granite delta]

But he was the one that wanted the 3400g :/

[stoic island]

Yes

And I'd like to change most of the people who want a 3400g to 3100+1650

[granite delta]

I wanted to do that combo but his budget was $500

[stoic island]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LH8MPn

I'll continue editing in a bit

eh that's about as far as it goes

a used 100$ GPU will do fine

[deep skiff]

or just go $50 overbudget and throw a 1080 ti in there

[prisma stag]

cheers guys

just bought the first item of my build

[little osprey]

pog

[prisma stag]

thanks to yalls help

[little osprey]

hope it was an rgb optical drive

[prisma stag]

corsair vengance 16gb ram

[little osprey]

pog pog

hopefully the timings are tight and the speed is out the wazoo

[prisma stag]

yea idk what that means but hell i hope so too lol

im new to this first build btw

[little osprey]

oh okay

[prisma stag]

could someone help me pickout a motherboard and case ?

[little osprey]

well do you know what cpu you want? ryzen or intel

[prisma stag]

i need a mother board with wifi and dont want a cheap one

[little osprey]

it all depends on your primary goal

[prisma stag]

ill be using the rysen 7 3700x

[little osprey]

oh nice

[prisma stag]

and a 3080 gpu

[little osprey]

POOOOG

[prisma stag]

idk what motherboard tho lol

[little osprey]

is the ryzen 7 3700x zen 2?

[foggy hazel]

yes

[prisma stag]

AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor

thats all i know

lol

[little osprey]

yeah it is

so you want an x570 board most likely

[foggy hazel]

there are no zen 3 products available yet.

[little osprey]

that way you don't have to do a bios update

[prisma stag]

Microarchitecture
Zen 2

[foggy hazel]

no matter the product name

[little osprey]

I didn't know if it was zen 1 silly

[foggy hazel]

b550 or x570 chipset mainboards are the preferred options.

[little osprey]

like I said

[shell wind]

perosnal build?

[prisma stag]

do either of those have wifi?

i need one with wifi

[foggy hazel]

your comment reads as a semi-question to me, hence the clarification i posted.

that depends on the specific mainboard model

[little osprey]

^

[prisma stag]

o i found one

its more expensive

[shell wind]

can someone help me build A PC

[little osprey]

yeah they usually are

[prisma stag]

but has rgb and wifi

[little osprey]

is it asrock?

that sounds very asrock

[prisma stag]

i wonder if i have too much rgb items if itll be ugly lol

MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Wi-Fi 6 HDMI ATX

[little osprey]

oh yeah

that board also has pcie gen 4 which will allow you to get the best performance out of your 3080

that's a good choice if you want a full atx build and want spent that kind of money

[prisma stag]

yea i dont wana buy the 3080 and not beable to get everything i can out of it so im down to spend a few more bucks

[little osprey]

well you can always browse different x570 boards

i also have an x570 board, the asrock taichi

[plush vortex]

i have the i-9 9900k intel core processor and a GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS MASTER mother board. does anybody know a good graphics card that will go with it?

[hardy cairn]

Hey, I've been out of the pc building sphere for a bit, but I'm diving back in. What should I look for in a MB for a 3090? Intel or AMD?

[plush vortex]

intel

[little osprey]

relax

amd puts up a really good fight

are you only gaming

[plush vortex]

that is true

[little osprey]

or is this a build for gaming and literally anything else

[hardy cairn]

I do a lot of 3D artwork

[little osprey]

ryzen.

zen 3 will be announced very soon

so the zen 2 cpus will reduce in price a bit or you can buy the new flagship consumer cpu from amd

[hardy cairn]

Interesting. Does Ryan have any compatability issues? Or are folks coding with AMD in mind lately?

*ryzen

[little osprey]

what kind of compatability issues?

[hardy cairn]

Mostly software is my concern. My last build was 6 years ago, and I'm well aware the landscape has changed. Back then AMD had a bunch of issues with not playing well with a lot of software

[foggy hazel]

@hardy cairn not something to worry about

unless you go out of your way and find custom coded for intel only software? its not a problem.

[hardy cairn]

cool! glad to hear

any suggestions on MB for a 3090?

also, thanks to everybody helping me out! you're all awesome!

[little osprey]

I mean just like above if you're using ryzen zen 2 go with a b550 or x570

[hardy cairn]

thanks so much! I think I got it from there!

[little osprey]

good luck

[hardy cairn]

thanks!

[prisma stag]

Yo bam

u busy

would u take a look at this list and tell me what u would change

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Drakelong870/saved/T2JpHx

[little osprey]

just off a first glance, do you need 64 gbs of ram?

[prisma stag]

no i dont think but my uncle said get alot

[little osprey]

oh lol

I think 32gbs will be more than enough

[prisma stag]

thatd save some money i might take 1 off then

[little osprey]

yeah that looks fine, the only improvements could be just researching and finding the best values for your components

[prisma stag]

i was kinda worried about the power supply and the ssd, do those seem ok?

[little osprey]

the 970 evo is an insane m.2

so that looks fine

the power supply is reputable brand, sufficient wattage, and modular so you should be good there too

and it's power efficient so that's good

your case is a mid atx so aslong as your radiator is top mounted you should be able to fit your 3080

[prisma stag]

if i get no cpu cooler should i have no problem with 3080

fitting wise

cause that cpu has built in cooler but i wanted more

but i dont absolutely need i guess

[little osprey]

yeah the prism cooler

no get the aio

two reasons

1. the aio will be perfect if you mount it to the top of your case

2. the prism cooler will suck in all the hot air your founders edition 3080 is throwing at it

so if you plan on that case and the founders editiong get the aio

[prisma stag]

Corsair H100i RGB PLATINUM 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

that is aio?

o

aio means all in one

[little osprey]

yeah,

[prisma stag]

i gotcha lmfao im dumb

yea the ryzen 7 3700x has a cpu cooler in it so i guess thatll be enough

[little osprey]

the pump of the aio is on the cpu block so that's why it is better to have the radiator top mounted anyways

it could be, but I'd suggest the corsair cooler

[uncut nova]

Please someone help me I can get my computer to post I have it all setup right but I can’t get anything to post idk if something broke or what but I don’t think anything broke. Everything is turning on fine the light on my modo is fine but I can’t get anything to post so can please someone help me

Please anyone dm me Bc I don’t think I can find the problem

[whole stag]

Is 3600 Mhz c16 worth it over 3200 Mhz c16???

Or should i just go 3200 Mhz on a ryzen 5 3600???

[little osprey]

32

[whole stag]

Ok

Isn’t the memory controller limited to 3200 Mhz on Ryzen 5 3600?

Yeah 36 is not worth it

Like $40 more for 3 more fps

[foggy hazel]

@whole stag wrong. its not limited.

[whole stag]

?

[foggy hazel]

xmp

it works just fine

[whole stag]

You have one?

[foggy hazel]

only built 500+ systems with zen2 chips

[teal imp]

Is a Radeon rx 580 red dragon still a good card to get being how old it is ?

[north spruce]

hey can someone help me out for a second with my build

ive run into a small issue

[foggy hazel]

@north spruce ask, and people will decide if they can help or not

@teal imp depends on your use and how cheap you get it

[north spruce]

well it seems I may be just not have the same amount of usb connections as my last mobo

[teal imp]

@teal imp depends on your use and how cheap you get it
@foggy hazel gaming primarily.

[north spruce]

and had a question what the bios connection on the board was for as well

its a few quetions and I didnt want to flood the channel is all @foggy hazel

[prisma stag]

well state ur question like he said lol

[north spruce]

bios connection I said I was wondering about on the mobo

and if youre gonna vary with usb connections from mobo to mobo

The wired connection not the one default on the board

im sorry im not wording it well right now im a bit stressed out rn about it

[foggy hazel]

what mainboard model @north spruce ?

[north spruce]

asrock z390 pro4

coming from msi z170 am7

[foggy hazel]

now, where is the connector you are worrying about on the board @north spruce ?

[whole falcon]

Can someone help me please i seem to be having trouble

[north spruce]

bottom of the mobo

and it wont turn on

[foggy hazel]

@whole falcon ask your question and people will decide if they can help or not.

@north spruce one thing at a time. And you are going to have to be a bit more precise than "bottom of the board"

[whole falcon]

My keyboard and mouse wont turn on and my monitor not connecting to my pc

[foggy hazel]

the only thing down there that has anything to do with bios is the clrmos1 jumper

[north spruce]

it says bios ph1 under prongs bottom of the board

[foggy hazel]

i honestly do not see what you are talking about @north spruce

any chance of grabbing a screenshot and sending it to me in a pm?

[stoic island]

like under the motherboard..?

[prisma stag]

im confused, i want to buy the 3080 but when i go to new egg to find it, it shows some 3080s but they dont look like the same one on nvidias website

[stoic island]

There's the founder's edition, and there's the AIB partner models.

If you want the founder's edition, your only options are either buy directly from Nvidia, or go with best buy

[dense quiver]

any advice https://pcpartpicker.com/user/vJoltz/saved/CXwY99

[prisma stag]

awesome thank you, what would you reccomend? the aib partners look like they might be better cause of the extra fans

[whole falcon]

My keyboard and mouse are connected and not lighting up and my monitor connected but theres no display

[stoic island]

We don't know, no AIB model reviews yet

@dense quiver for gaming, might as well grab a r5 3100

get a better SSD, like a team MP34

and might as well grab a B550 ds3h to go along with the 3100

[little osprey]

no

the minimum wattage for the 3000 series is 750w @little osprey

not minimum

[rich void]

Wait for reviews. Nvidia recommends a 750w, but iirc for other generations they have provided relatively high estimates, so a 650w may be enough, but we won't know until reviews

[little osprey]

just required/recommended

a guy did a video showing a 500watt could handle the fe just fine

[rich void]

FE3080 I assume, so presumably a 3070 would also be fine, but waiting for reviews is best

[ripe wedge]

it is possible but at that point the cpu would have to be so bad it would bottleneck really bad

What do you guys think of this build with the 3090

I've already got drives btw, that's why they're missing. Also, do you think this MB will take the zen 3 if I get that instead?

[pastel briar]

you should be all good to go

[dense oriole]

would it be worth me getting the 3080 for my system or would i be bottlenecked? is there anything else i should get upgraded first or will i be fine for a while?

Ryzen 5 2600 - 6 core 12 threads
b450m mobo
650w PSU

[stoic island]

Bottlenecking is an iffy term

If you get a 3080, your fps will drastically increase, but the CPU will hold you back a good bit.

[serene spire]

Can I get a 1500$ parts list please. I would like a AIO if possible but if not don’t sweat it.

[stoic island]

Do you believe you'll be able to get a RTX 3080?

And when are you planning to build

[serene spire]

Streaming/gaming pc and most likely not

Around mid October

[deep skiff]

hard flex go dual 2080 ti

[stoic island]

I'll make a list in a bit, but I suggest you come back again about when you're going to build to see how rtx 3080 stock goes

And also zen3 :D

[serene spire]

Alright. I’ve got a parts list that based off a couple I’ve seen just trying to get more insight. The people I’ve been watching the most for them is bitwit jays2cent and Geekawhat

Ik jay and bitwit are reliable but Ik nothing about geekawhat

[stoic island]

I like GN :D

I'll make a list now xD

@serene spire here :D

[serene spire]

Thank you dude much appreciated

@stoic island ^

[vital warren]

new amd zen 3 cpus are being announced october 8th if i remember correctly

so i'd take a look at cpus then

eh I personally don't like sli as i'm pretty sure a lot of games don't support it

[tall mantle]

I dont even think that the 3070 is going to support sli

[calm helm]

quick question, is EVGA SuperNOVA 1300 G2 120-G2-1300-XR 80+ GOLD 1300W powerful enough for the RTX 3080 ? I see a min req. of ~750W for it

[tall mantle]

way more than enough

people are running 3080s with 550 watt psu's bro

[calm helm]

damn

[tall mantle]

get a 650 and your set

650 80+ gold preferably

[calm helm]

do you have any recommendation ? looking at paring it with a i9 9900k

[tall mantle]

heavy overclocking with the 9900k?

[calm helm]

nope

[tall mantle]

650 will do

[calm helm]

as is

[tall mantle]

650 watt 80+ gold or higher (as in efficiency rating) platinum or titanium

but 650 watt gold will be fine

[calm helm]

interesting, thanks a lot for the precision

[tall mantle]

if you want you could just get a 750 watt just to be safe but yeah

cuz i know those 1200 watt power supplies can be expensive

[calm helm]

I was looking at the EVGA SuperNOVA 850 to be precise

[tall mantle]

good psu

[calm helm]

(yea, +~350$)

[tall mantle]

but if you really want to cut down on the price 650 will do if you want to play it extra safe 750 would do good as well

[stoic island]

which supernova

like

g1 g2 g3?

G2 is good

[calm helm]

looking at the GA

[stoic island]

GA isn't that great

G2>GA

[calm helm]

got it

any particular product recommendation for what I am building ?

[stoic island]

Can we start from the top? What's the purpose of the PC, and the budget? @calm helm

[calm helm]

Based on NewEgg PC builder tool, I am looking at the following:

• i9-990k, 8 core, 16 Thread, 3.6GHz
• RTX 3080 (ordered separetly
• 32 gb CORASAIR Vengenace (2x16)
• Thermaltake Floe DX 280

Essentially, Neweggs recommends this, along withg an EVGA Supernova 1300 G2 1300 Gold

I want to make sure I can optimize this build

[stoic island]

Interesting

[late kelp]

@little osprey only the 3090 cards support SLI.. they are basically saying go big or go home

[deep skiff]

1300w is pretty overkill

[calm helm]

building it with pcpart, getting back to you soon
