the 3080 oos btw
the gaming x
is that a serious list?
@inland parrot before you get up to speed
lol
wait for the answer to the previous question
no dont think it is a serious list with the gaming chair
but everything else is okay
@stoic island no.
@ocean dawn anyways, this is going to be an "example" list to guide you with what you might want to get
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/DqY6Xb
what naed
what's the "no" for
I don't want to leave a guy hangin :P
the no was a gamble that you might be gearing up to correct something :)
I mean Naed
ah :)
^^
the more you engage, the more you feed the potential troll
@stoic island lol take your time not in a in hurry
i am taking my time with this build
but not for too long tho
its called having a life @stoic island
at that point, you wont have a choice in what you focus on
simple as that
well, you will, its a choice between: Having a job and not having a job
I'm already really easily distracted :P
gee, i never noticed
gotta train myself to keep that job
ATX or Micro ATX for motherboards and why
from DMs last night again:
try sleeping instead of yammering in dm's :P
suuuure
look
ATX is easier to find
@hazy rune wdym
@hazy rune i recommend glasses :)
uhhh
@foggy hazel Have glasses. What’s your point?
there are plenty of m-atx boards around, generally cheaper than atx boards.
ATX are easier to find. It’s not untrue.
Look for a Z390 board and tell me there’s more mAtx boards.
Or any platform for that matter
In the US, the market for mAtx is much smaller.
read again :)
and did i say anything about "more"?
@hazy rune i recommend glasses :)
@foggy hazel
does anyone like the B550 a pro
What is the worst pc part you can think of
Why?
Don’t know
then neither do we.
Naed i have a suggestion for ur pfp. Take a ss of a smiley face and use that xD
most useless?
@small osprey no
Welp
Naed i have a suggestion for ur pfp. Take a ss of a smiley face and use that xD
@small osprey this is an OP idea
Lmaoo
lol ikkkkkk
@wind tiger define worst. u mean... most useless, worst performing?
like
there's no way to define 'worst'
that is totally up to you sysmain. If it’s not ancient many macs have good color if that’s what you need, only major downside is them being bulky
ok watch lots of pc building videos
should my friend get a msi b550 a pro for motherboard
Watch lots of pc people so you can understand the parts
Im trying so hard but the cables really confuse me
its not bad
Oh wait it’s not
@copper stag you got the option for going on voice/video chat on your phone while doing the build?
Yeah
ok go watch YouTube videos that explains that pc cables
This is truly my first time and I had a friend come over but he had to go to work
Yeah gimme a sec
Like the big one that is for the power supply to Connect to the motherboard
should my friend get a msi b550 a pro for motherboard
How much is it
125 bucks rn
Yeah get it
Yes
k thx
@foggy hazel i am planning on buying a B550 a pro
@inland parrot your plans will most likely change ... roughly 10-15 times before you actually buy. So .. yeah :)
lol
@copper stag delete that message :) i have what i need from it :)
Here's the list:
-ROG strix B550 m-board
-AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT Gpu
-Focus GX-850 power supply
-AMD Ryzen 5 3600 cpu
-2T barracuda seagate
-2x8 GB Vengeance LPX ram
-1TB custom microcenter SSD
-NZXT H150 case
that was $1,400!!!!!
how much did tax cost
okay, lets have a look at things @copper stag
It was 1395 after tax
@torpid notch depends on your local tax %
But i need help setting it up. So far i installed everything on my own but the cables got me tripping
@copper stag you ready for that call?
lol my tax is 90 bucks i checked my tax rate
hey naed need some help
no
1249 x 0.0725 is my tax and shipping prob 50 bucks rip iit will take me 2 years to buy my pc 😦
so a clients pc wanted to boot and its flashing back and forth from cpu and dram
bios reset
check ram, each stick in each slot
try all combinations
and verify that the CPU has been mounted right
ok for sure
(as in, there is enough/even pressure)
thanks ill let you know
welp let me risk it and buy a Msi B550 a pro @stoic island @foggy hazel
Hey naed do you recommmed to do jumper cable or cmos
Batter
For restring bios
We will do cpu next
@foggy hazel
how can i improve this without going over 1k? should i replace a component for a better working one? lmk
bad ssd as well
yeah
mp34
get like mp34
prolly cheaper b550s out there too
lmao estimated wattage is 334
gets 750 cuz why not
but yeah go for something cheaper on psu side for sure
get a 550 watt id say
its my first build so i dont necessarily know much
I mean, psu are most efficient at half their capacity, so 
but no need for a 750
i just wanna play overwatch 2 and other low intensity games so whatever parts that can do the trick for cheaper is fine
i dont have one i am gonna transfer from console to PC
yeah
buy a key from ebay
has buyer protection and can get a pro key for a couple bucks
well what mobo you got?
o
uh you can find 550 for sub 100 easily
9700k will be more expensive
than 2700x
id honesltly try to buy 10th gen intel for 3000 series amd if i were you
since 9700k and 2700x are both a generation old
and 2700x will be 2 gens old in a lil bit
same with 9700k
yup
ok
id honestly wait for zen 3
its coming out on the 5th of november
itll be good
so id wait for it
Yeah a 650w is good but it’s not very good
well i was told to get a less wattage PSU for my PC
He told you to get a less wattage
yeah considering the parts in my build
1k
i can send you my PCPP if you want
i have some components on another site tho
Than you have a good amount of money to get a good psu
best buy
Amazon or Best Buy
It does not work
Here
i also dont know a lot about hardware so if you can put it into everyday terms that would be nice
please
im learning about the terms as i research more about PCs
but im no expert
Same with me but I can help
Yeah but what is you budget for a psu
ok let’s go with 80 to 100
I imagine cooler master is made better than corsair
i can send the one i saved
No I’m talking about the power supply not the pc
i cant send a best buy link
CORSAIR - CX-M Series 650W ATX12V 2.4/EPS12V 2.92 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply - Matte black
this is the name tho if you wanna paste it into your browser
okok its saved
Anything else you need help with your pc
hmmm idk
ok
if you see anything i could get for cheaper just tell me?
cuz PCPP doesnt have all the options
That’s is the best you can get for a 650w psu
right
okok good news
Ok
Wait
@wind tiger @little osprey CXm is not a good PSU to suggest...
Coil whine problems with a lot of the units, CX is better and without any major coil whine issue if you want to go with that.
That's also nowhere near the best 650w PSU you can get..?
That's more like Whisper m 650w, RM650x, newer Focus PX 650w
:p
okay
ummm i like your funny words magic man
i dont know all the terminology so in everyday terms?
or maybe for a newb
like me
oh thats the one in the purple box right?
because i decided not to go with that one
me and minto Dmd and i sent him the one i saved
dw dw
The purple box one is not CXM, that's MWE Gold
good
yeah i lowered the PSU wattage like you said and got a better ssd like was said before
thanks guys
were gonna need more than that
use case?
is that just for pc or for peripherals too?
what region are you in? US, Canada
by use case, he means just gaming, gaming/streaming, video editing, etc
just gaming
it’s fine
Case came in today
lol the protective plastic makes it look like its tinted blue
yup
now all i have left is the, cpu, motherboard, ram, storage, and gpu
i have bought the psu already and its on its way
If i’m building a pc what are the parts that are okay to cheap out on and what is not?
what is motherboard under 150 and is for intel
never cheap out on psu
what is motherboard under 150 and is for intel
@sinful fiber what chipset u lookin 4
wish i had this pc https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xcYJ8J
Idk Im trying to build my pc for the first time so I dont know a lot about computers
@plain warren i wish I had money for that pc lol
is there any particular reason you want intel?
@sinful fiber thats posibly the worst list I've ever seen lol
@plain warren i wish I had money for that pc lol
@inland parrot imagine wanting two 2070s for less than 2 rtx 3080s
lol
huh
thebeast didn't post a list lol
lmao 2070s don't even have sli
I rather have one
And why tf would you want sli 2070s
not a single ssd
yeah when you can just get a one 3080
the ram tho
a mobo that won't work for the aio
you'd think that you'd just have one 12tb hdd and then run raid on m.2s with a budget like that
The ram is 2k and at defualt ram
okay that is the worst ram
the ram is 2.5k and 2400mhz cl 15
imagine
he should had add 3 more rams 😆
bruh who made this "list"
idk
that was the most incompetent list ever
yes
that is like a supercomputer you find in a corporation
who didn't know what they were doing
and let a 5 year old make the list
lol
I'm planning on building my pc in a week or two but all the 2070 are overpriced rn
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SND55FR/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 is this a bad motherboard and will it support an i7 Idk the exact one
@sinful fiber i mean its a low end last gen
oh ok sry Im new
dont ever apologize for that lol
Reason: Bad word usage
lol
hey is there anything anyone wants to check for my build before I buy the rest of the parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Kzm8J have the case and the psu @stoic island @foggy hazel
Should I just get the 5700 XT if there's no 2070 in stock at a normal price by the time I buy?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yfdCbh (revised) still doggy fart list but way better than the other trash
why buy either
I’m tempted to do that too @vapid moth
just wait for 3070
one week
@gritty zenith just use the cooler that comes with the 3700x
I doubt I'm going to get a 3070 though @gritty zenith
I'm not gonna be able to beat the scalpers and other people
Try, and if you don’t by all means buy a 5700xt
Especially because my only computer rn is slow as hell
yeah, a 3gb at that
I'm on a uh
I'm running an Intel i5 7Y54 LOL
I just got scammed 😭
You use PayPal?
Yeah but it will take ages
PayPal has your back
whatchu get scammededed for?
A graphics card
lord
I saved up pocket money for five years
3000 series?
I could just order my other parts in a couple of days, and while I'm waiting for them to ship I can just wait for the Big Navi reveal
2000 series
£200 rtx 2080
yeahhhh that just sounds like bait
I thought it was just someone trying to make some quick cash to get a rtx 3070
Naive teenager I am
even desperation would still be near double that
True but took me five years to save up £600 and I was so excited I may have forgot that scams existed 😔
i mean demonmit could do it
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ I have the rest what should I change?
F in chat for our fallen
demonmit dont count tho
i heard they is a savings legend
@sinful fiber u sent a blank list
copy the link in the red box not the url
^
yeah ik now give me a sec
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HPzyXb does this work
Click the link above the list in the tan-ish box
i just guessed its either red or yellow i forgot which
Yes
btw its budget but I have the 1660 and I think the cpu is the i7 but idk which one I feel stupid also my case isn't good but I have the nzxt h510
1660 non super??
I think I might try and get the 3080 when I save up enough money
big oof
yeah ik my gpu sucksss
1660 non super is bad
Least it ain't iGPU
^
lol
I remember trying to play COD MW2 on an old dell inspiron laptop when i was like 12
thats why imma try and get the 3080 and then save up for the i9 9900k
Are 2000 series going to drop prices when 3000 come out?
@sinful fiber what are the rest of the stuff you have?
3000 already "out"
send a separate list maybe?
@exotic sentinel they're already out and you can see prices :D
and all gpus are more expensive rn
@exotic sentinel they're already out and you can see prices :D
@stoic island i thought you cant officially buy them until the 29th
thats for 3070
mhm
Ah okay
That sucks
No one changes last gen prices when new gen comes
yeah
you just either get a rtx 2080 ti for $1200 or a 3090 for $1200 
whichever number you like more
1500$*
meh close enough
Wait hang on $1500 total or just the gpu?
lol
What currency are we using here
USD
Doll hairs
lol
usd
No way
Well broke as i am
To put into perspective, last gen titan, Titan RTX, was 2500 USD MSRP
or 110,000 legend of zelda currency
That's for professional level stuff
I use gbp but in dollars i have around $300 maybe more maybe less
Yup. It’s not intended for gaming.
oh then use uk.pcpartpicker.com
Same with the 3090 really
Trying to find good deals on second hand parts as i done so with my other parts
wait wrong person
tbh just get 3070
lmao
It’s fantastic for research and numerical calculations
better than 2080ti at bout half the cost
@sinful fiber can ya give me the rest of your parts?
I already said them I thought
I need to see them to really understand your part selction smh
I can't be having you get a x63 on a 9100f
that's just no
yaknow
or going only HDD
I need to see the rest of the stuff for this to make any sense.
Can someone please help me choose a video card? I have around $300 left and i would prefer if i could get a second hand rtx card rather than a worse new one
Parts so far i got for $500: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/FfD3bh
the only rtx you are gonna find for that price is a 2060
ppl are ballsy with their prices
can someone please make a 2k$ parts list with a 3080 plzz
i know they are out of stock butt im going to build it later down the road, intel based as well
It takes 8 separate devices to make an all around decent PC
Case, cooling, power supply, gpu, cpu, ram, mb, and storage.
We be pirates boys! May your pieces of 8 be compatable and your LED's shiny.
@lilac stratus https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8VRBbh
ill leave it to you to pick case and fans
@lilac stratus https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sZD3bh
u guys are the goats man
tru
cntrls list is better im on mobile and some parts werent showing up lol
Im on mobile aswell
weird
its my list
that looks extremely familiar
because you know that MP34 1tb has been gone from pcpp for the past few days right :P
i added it myself
i just clicked the 512gb version and then tapped on the 1tb option
wot
wot
lmao he stole your list
honestly who cares who created a list, if it works for a situation, it works
and available on amazon newegg and more
it was a joke at first
just looked really familiar
@stoic island
oof imagine using an ipad
lol
couldn't be me
ick
LOL
a 800$ list
@little osprey I made you one 2 days ago
bruv
ase
the links right there...
k ty
So lazy man
ye ik
weebs these days
ok
@stoic island i have some questions
what
@cloud oasis I'm a weeb and I don't care
why the 3100
why not
yea but so lazy
4c8t good nuff
then put ur budget up lmao
what
take me with you
does the ram have dual channeling?
@little osprey
and why the motherboard
oh fr
so uh yea
for the usual consumer, that's all you need to know
I NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL
if i say one more "bad word"
i get benned
banned*
cuz i always forgot
i was about to say
one
but mr1111
as i was saying
why that motherboard
well, 2 sticks doesnt always equal dual channel. But for this build just think of it that way. Just dont go around saying "2 sticks = dual channel" everywhere else
Hei bouta give the long explanation eh?
If it is sold with 2 sticks then its dual channel
that took to long to type
I mean, where are there any single channel today?
true
It's still dual channel in quad-channel boards if you slap ram in 2 of the channels
but mr111 why de motherboard
plenty of single channel laptops get sold, the walmart ryzen ones come to mind
cheap
single channel can still happen if RAM is in bad slots
ofc, but people should know 2 and 4 by now :P
one cannot always assume
sadly
i have a quad channel board and i could run single channel if i did it wrong
manuals dont exist
ehhh

they dont exist and you know it
can u run duel channel in a quad channel board
yes
yes
Yes
Feelsdankman
lol
yas
why the motherboard
cheap and works
...

imma need more than that
has nice quality traits
Ur the one with the 800$ budget lmao
Nice sound chip for crisp audio, dual NVMe ports, adequate VRMs, etc
also M2 E I think
Motherboards are a "if it works, good." thing
as long as you can plug everything you want to plug in it
basically good nuff
better audio is eh
usb headset doesn't care about sound chip
dual m.2 nvme is nice tho
VRMs are the "good nuff" kind
good vrms? who tf needs that
what r u guys talkin about man
unnecessary stuff
and what are vrms
as long as your mb supports ur cpu and has 1 sata, 1 m.2, and 1 pciex16 ur good
i'm actually thinking about swapping out my board, i want something with 5V RGB, just for the sake of being able to sync everything together, rather than having to run my fans off one controller, my memory off another app, etc, etc
what r u guys talkin about man
why do you think we didnt say much when you asked why to get that board? It is a fair bit of explanation for understanding everything.
higher quality VRM's become more important once you're talking overclocking and stuff like that, if you're running stock speeds they become less of a consideration
nothing in the PC world is simple
incorrect
its all 1st grade material
@gritty zenith think of anything, and someone has screwed it up before.
im in kindergarden
the speed at which your cpu runs at without any modifications
so i dont understand
stock speed just means you aren't changing the speed of your cpu at all from how it comes out of the box
you just plug everything in and turn it on
nothing is simple in terms of depth
ye
it's all simple when you come to know of it
is that good?
but there's always more
clock speeds
thats how everything is
clock speed matters to an extent
troubleshooting can be solved by shooting the problem with a gun.
...
you dont want to be running super low clocks but also super high clocks r just a flex
if everything goes right and you aren't messing with settings, it's simple. as soon as things go wrong, it can become very complicated very quickly
troubleshooting can be solved by shooting the problem with a gun.
but what kind of gun?
troubleshooting can be solved by shooting the problem with a gun.
@stoic island im a problem can you solve me 😄
unless the problem is the gun
shoot the gun with a gun
“i used the stones to destroy the stones”
@gritty zenith I'm in a predicament, the problem is my gun, it's non-existant! WHAT DO I DOOOOOOOOOOOO?
@little osprey anyways, clock speeds is one of the many things that matter in computers
@stoic island im a problem can you solve me 😄
@gritty zenith depreeso expreeso atenntion wanter go to da gehtto
😎
im a gangasta man
cool kid
Is 450 watts enough for a ryzen 7 and a 1070ti
probally
u need 1000w
just for future proofing
wdym
clockspeeds explained:
components work in a way such that it's like running around a track, each time you pass the finish line you can start a new instruction (so like doing some math such as 1+1 or smth). Clockspeed would be the rate at which you go around the track. Stock speeds would be the rate at which you normally move at, so probably walking or jogging for most people. You can overclock said component, and that's forcing the component to move as fast as possible (so like you'd be sprinting). OCing is basically saying "run around the track faster"
layman terms man
Yeah I certainly don’t need 1000w
mi bad m8
depends what R7 CPU. 1700, 1700x, 1800x, 2700, 2700x, 3700, 3800x
I already have the 1070ti and the 450w power supply, I’m just thinking about upgrading to a 5000 series ryzen chip when it comes out. Probably the 5700 or 5800
Hello comrades
Yeah but I also have an i5-7500 which needs an upgrade more. The 1070ti is enough for what I need.
im a normie
What PSU model? Wattage wise you have enough
I dont know what you're talking about cause im a newbie but ill pick it up as yall chat
bye
Corsair CX450M
green or grey labeled?
Grey
should be good enough then
you're running on the edge tho. Future GPU upgrade will need a new PSU
welcome
yup
its gonna suck a little having to upgrade the psu with the gpu but hey i mean no shame
New Desk!!
nice
nice 
Corner desk away from the wall? interesting, i could never do a desk not against a wall as i tend to bumb shove and hit my desk alot and if it was unbalanced all my stuff would go flying off. (monitors)
so i have a question
go for it
so i want to build my own pc but i have no computer to download windows on what do i do?
Ask a friend, go to a computer related repair/parts/etc. store, or get a flash drive with a Windows installer on it
Mayb
@neon glen Hey I got that same desk on amazon, how do you like it
Feels flimzy to me
Hey guys, HUUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEE shoutout to @foggy hazel !!!!!!!!!!!! I was call with him for probably 6 hours and he COMPLETELY helped me assemble my PC from scratch. It was my first time building one and I could NOT have done it without him. Seriously, Dean is amazing guys
Final product 😁😁😁
👍
PogU
you are very welcome @copper stag
fellas whats a good tower for a rog b550 mobo
P500A
there are lots!
that the best pc case

Debating if I need to upgrade from in win 301. How important is a case?
Which one
What is the difference between MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk and MSI B550-A Pro? Find out which is better and their overall performance in the motherboard ranking.
I'd check out the VRMs, but otherwise they look pretty much the same
A pro good I think it’s 125 on b&h
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fDtJ8J what motherboard should I go with
Heh guys. I gotta 400 dollar ish budget and I already have a gpu. Friend gave me a evga gtx 970. Could yall help me put together the best system I can. Only used for gaming. Mostly play open world single player games. I'm thinking of going intel i3 10100
So basically have u checked task manager?
It was windows 7 when I got it but I upgraded to win 10
It’s at like 70-75 degrees
Are your gpu driver fully updated?
Idle?
35-55
So its not heat
Hm does it crash just chilling or when it’s under load
I put Nt-H2 in it
Oh ok
Cause those temps are fine for laptop
Both
Have u tried reinstalling windows
Mostly under load tho
Doing a fresh install
Just put ur laptop on a raised surface that doesnt block the coolers
I have reinstalled windows like 3 times
and point a fan at it
It’s not heat I swear
Have u tried taking out one ram stick and leaving the other
Are your graphics card drivers up to date?
No
Ok
It’s IGPU
try that it could be ram
I might, it’s annoying to open
If not try another drive u have or go buy one and return it lol
To start witth
It’s 2 ram sticks
That seems like the most logical thing to me
Does it crash just gaming?
Yes
HHS?
Ok
Hhd I mean
Well your hardware probably cant turn the game
O
I would try the ram first
Not really idle
Heh guys. I gotta 400 dollar ish budget and I already have a gpu. Friend gave me a evga gtx 970. Could yall help me put together the best system I can. Only used for gaming. Mostly play open world single player games
Just normal stuff it crashes
Have u tried getting cinebench see if it crashes from that
Or any other benchmark software
Cinebeench is fine
What games do u run on it
Well that can’t do that much to it lol
Yea I mean that can’t be the problem
Anti aliasing off
Especially if cinebench is fine
Yeah
And the weird thing is, sometimes it’s bad but other times it doesn’t crash for like a week
I don’t get it
Wow that’s really odd
It has demons
are your igpu drivers updated?
Does it crash when you use it plugged in as well or only on battery
they have drivers for igpu
Intel doesnt so much for drivers
I have the dsa assistant
I’ve tried lol
they do some tho
I have the assistant
ok
is your system 32 bit or 64 bit?
Does it ever crash when you’re using it plugged in
I use it plugged in almost all the time bc the battery is 42 watt hours
LMAO damn yea I feel@u
But hey I gotta hop offline I got some early classes maybe Ryan will be able to help or maybe someone else but try the ram tbh
get one that has an actual gpu
Well I’m broke AF
I’ll c y’all later

gl
Maybe a techie will stroll through and know something 😂😂
I hope
Gn bro cya later good luck
Peace

Hey I am kinda new to the pc stuff can someone help me with a 1300 pc part picker list
