When building

outer folio Oct 22, 2020, 3:04 AM

At the latest

outer folio Oct 22, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

Ok

stoic island Oct 22, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

I'm going to go now, if no one else makes you a list for like 5min, @ hei, and I'll be on tomorrow morning

outer folio Oct 22, 2020, 3:05 AM

Or just wait

#

Looking to buy the new amd 5950x for my next build, I was wondering what mother board can I use with it ?

spiral zealot Oct 22, 2020, 4:34 AM

#

any B550 board will work

#

or X570

deep jacinth Oct 22, 2020, 4:35 AM

#

Thank you

#

Can I use trident royal ram on it aswell?

spiral zealot Oct 22, 2020, 4:37 AM

#

i would check the supported memory list once you pick a specific board, but chances are it will work

deep jacinth Oct 22, 2020, 4:39 AM

#

Thank you

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

@outer folio this prob aint the super perfect list someone else would make but its prob worth looking at https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tkpGGq

System Builder

#

its $1,200 but has room for a 5600x

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

too much on mobo, 3600 cl16 ram instead, wasted money on fans u dont need

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

wait does the case come with fans?

#

i only added those as a lil extra i didn't check

#

hol up

next kestrel Oct 22, 2020, 4:58 AM

#

yeah just get 1 fan

#

for exhaust

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:07 AM

#

a lil much on ram and psu

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:09 AM

#

too high price?

#

i mean as far as i know the only approved psu in this server is corsair rmx series and for ram idk what brand/model ram is approved

#

so

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:10 AM

#

that ram is overpricced

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

i know

#

but again

#

don't know what brands/models are approved

#

here

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

wtf does that mean?

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:11 AM

#

lmao that everyone here seems to have insight on what the best and the worst are

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

ok first

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

but idk if 80+ bronze is safe for the eyes of this chat

#

and idk if ripjaws is good enough

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

that list is bad

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:14 AM

#

for ram

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

in the way that it has a 1660s

#

for a 1k list

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

what should i throw in then?

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

2070, 2060s

#

5700xt

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

all nvidia is overpriced rn and everyone hates current amd

#

ah so 5700xt is acceptable

#

nice

#

didn't know that

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

just make a list

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:15 AM

#

would have put it in otherwise

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

stop asking is this acceptable

#

If the list is bad we'll revise it

#

stop guessing if this part is " acceptable" and just make a list lol

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:16 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cgRJ8J

#

ight then there is the list

#

with the necessary changes

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

.......

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

i only through in a BR bc i personally use one and haven't ever had problems

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

thats a 1200 dollar list with a 5700xt in it

#

a 1k list should have a 5700xt

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

?

#

confused

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:17 AM

#

that list is really overpriced

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:19 AM

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wxyXPV

#

something like this ig around 1k

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:19 AM

#

bruh

#

ok

#

didn't know hdds and 1tb ssd were for the rich lol

#

my bad

#

ig a $90 case is too much too

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

well if i had to cut down on storage to get a better gpu i will

#

same applies to case

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

Yes but I would use something like a antech neo eco gold

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

yeah i was iffy on psu

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

br is reliable enough for me

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:20 AM

#

Ya but there are better options

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

ofc there is always the 5 ppl who give a 0 star review for every psu bc they received a defective unit even though literally no unit is rated for 100% efficiency

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

??

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

ik there are better options but apparently every other option is too much xd

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:21 AM

#

I'm saying that there are better options for the same price

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

okay so what are good models then

#

or rather

#

acceptable models

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:22 AM

#

holy sh#t stop saying that

#

Just look at the psu list

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

well i thought the corsair rm was good bc lots of ppl suggest it but iggggggg not

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

Yes buts too expensive

#

Are you understanding what I am saying?

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

maybe NYEHE

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:24 AM

#

Or are you just being like this to annoy me

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

okay understanding what

#

i dont get what you are trying to make me understand that i dont understand

#

that components r overpriced?

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

Any good 144hz or above monitors for a good price? Been looking but idk if I am looking at overpriced ones

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

that i could cut more elsewhere to put in a better gpu?

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 AM

#

specter makes some good cheap ones

#

@gritty zenith less hdd

#

Cheaper case

#

cheaper psu

#

no extra fan

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

i was told to never skimp on psu so i fear ever going below gold on a non appraised psu

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

bruh

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

specter makes some good cheap ones
@little leaf alright thanks

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

What ever I'm just gonna leave before I get more annoyed

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 AM

#

im not trynna annoy

#

i legitimately thought that was like super high on priority list was not to cheap out on psu

#

so whenever i cut corners i dont touch the psu

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

I am saying

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

hdd i understand

little leaf Oct 22, 2020, 5:27 AM

#

there are better componets to get

#

at the same price

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:28 AM

#

Send your list again? Lemme see if I can help.

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

i was sending a list trynna help someone out who asked for one

#

but i chose every component wrong so

#

never doin that again lol

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

@little leaf did you mean scepter?

#

never doin that again lol
@gritty zenith yeah I tried to get help on my setup earlier and people snapped at me like I was some idiot

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:29 AM

#

yeap

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

Some people are snobs in this cord

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

n then ppl get annoyed when you say that you don't know what is acceptable or approved here

#

kekw

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

they're just making sure you get what's best for your money don't worry folks

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

So is there anyone that can tell me which build is better out of my two?

vital warren Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 AM

#

some people go about it dif ways

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Just state your budget and they can try to work with that

desert gulch Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

and use case

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Like if I send links to my part list can someone tell me which ones the better one?

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

i personally have only ever built out of used parts i know i am getting at a hell of a deal so

desert gulch Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

and region

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Ig not

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

im not qualified so

#

gotta wait for someone useful lol

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Dang

#

They’re to different builds but same price

#

For the most part they’re the same except for ram and gpu

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:33 AM

#

just send them someone will help

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:35 AM

#

i can with 100% confidence say that your choice of storage was a little off

#

you could get an nvme m.2 of the same capacity for a better price than that sata ssd

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wd7GBZ

System Builder

#

Oh ok I had people make these builds for me btw

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

You’d need a case that is for a micro ATX motherboard

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NDCbXb

System Builder

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

You probably know that but just a reminder

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

just changed one thing

#

dont rip my head off u guys

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

well you can have an atx case

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

ez just get a mitx motherboard and you can build in whatever case you want**

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

I have 2 different cases here for it at my house

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

most mid tower atx cases will fit have places to put ur matx standoffs

#

mitx motherboards generally cost more than matx (correct me if i’m wrong )

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

they do

#

a $150 matx board cost like $220 in mitx form

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

Ok so for the most part the build looks good?

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

idk gotta ask someone else

#

i like the second list better

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

hold up

#

lemme check

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

ofc with the switch to a nvme m.2

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

So do I mainly for color scheme it matches more

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

yeah the second list is better

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

loggin off hav fun

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

Ok thanks you

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

idk much about amd gpu’s so i can’t comment on that

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

they're supposed to be fine now

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

other than that if you were to go nvidia in that build, a 1660s would be nice

little osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

That AMD is solid for that price range

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

careful though some people dont like that gpu here

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

yeah i heard that amd used to have gpu driver problems

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

I thought the 5600xt was better than the 1660 tho

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

but i think that they’re resolved now

#

yeah

#

jus for future reference refer to some benchmarks to see what’s better

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

Ok thanks I’m buying the parts sometime next month

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

like jus search up 1660s + 3600 benchmark and 5600xt + 3600 benchmark

ornate solstice Oct 22, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

Ok

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:42 AM

#

i need a second person to run my future build througj

#

rtx 3070 or amd equivalent

#

i7-9700k

#

asus z390 tuf plus gaming motherboard

#

16 gb 3200mhz ram

#

lan li lancool 215 x case

neon condor Oct 22, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

Switch the RAM to 16GB 2x8 sticks at the same speed.

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

looks p good

neon condor Oct 22, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

Switch 9700K to 10700K

#

And swap Z390 to the 10700K equivalent.

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:48 AM

if youre not building yet, i would wait for amd official benchmarks

#

itll fit

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

will it bottleneck

#

the 3070

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

no

#

a 3600 is enough for a 3070, the 9700k is fine

#

if you oc, you can come close to 10700k performance

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:50 AM

and will a gold rated 750w psu be able to power all that

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:53 AM

i want to finish the build as fast as possible because i basically all the parts coming besides the 3070

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:53 AM

its in the a tier so it should be good, but the seasonic one is solid

it's my first pc build and i decided to go mid-high range because at this point you won't really need to upgrade until it breaks

but the psu you picked is a tier so you can get that too

imo amazon has a nicer return policy if things go wrong so it might be better

i heard the 3070 has less stock than the 3080

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

and if you get a chance to add it to your cart then the website is freezing

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:57 AM

and well its more affordable

#

so rip me

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

yea, more ppl can afford it

#

hopefully amd has a decent stock

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

how can the 3070 have less stock tham the 3080 though

#

that doesnt even make sense

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 8:58 AM

#

if they have less than the 3080 then its gg lmao

#

3080s didnt last 1 second no joke

#

literally hit 6am, all websites crashed

then everything sold out

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:03 AM

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

i thought evga had a queue

#

yeah i think its pretty good

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

i didnt really look into it

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

hmm

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:04 AM

#

imo, newegg is good but their return policy n stuff could be nicer

#

i feel like amazon is the gold standard rn

#

like you cant jus simply click cancel order sometimes and you have to call them up n stuff

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

i found out that pc parts prices fluctuate a lot on webs

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

with the pandemic and demand for parts, its pretty bad rn

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

so you should look out for that if youre trying to buy parts

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

So if i were to get a pc during cyber Monday do you know what would be the best place to look? Amazon? Newegg?

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

a prebuilt ?

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

for a prebuilt?

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:05 AM

#

No I’m building

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

typically newegg has more options

#

but it doesnt hurt to cmpare prices etc

#

for me, if newegg and amazon have close or same prices, i jus go off amazon

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

i think blackfriday has its own website

#

i think cybermonday should have it too if bf has one

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:06 AM

#

I made a part picker and plus i have prime so yeah I’ll look for prices and availability during cyber Monday

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:06 AM

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:12 AM

#

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:12 AM

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:12 AM

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:37 AM

#

@clever sonnet is the Crucial P1 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

#

I was also thinking if i got a 2tb hard drive for my main storage then a 240 gb ssd to run windows and stuff on. Would you recommend just the 1tb ssd or

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

azy i would get an at least 128gb ssd to put windows on it

#

it really depends how much storage you want though

#

like can you not spend even one more dollar

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:39 AM

#

i really only play a few games like fort rl apex and brawlhalla and I’d use it for school

#

yea pls recommend

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

I can spend around $750

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

if you don't need much space go with a ssd

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:40 AM

#

ok

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

if you need mild space for other stuff get a 128gb ssd and a hdd for whatever size

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

oh ok ty

#

whats the difference between hdd and ssd?

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:41 AM

#

also if you want price/performance i would go with an intel cpu

#

ssds are a ton faster

#

but cost more per gb

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

yea I noticed they’re more expensive

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

I might just go with the 1tb ssd and if i ever need more I’ll get an HDD

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

What intel cpu should I get?

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

basically you want a ssd as a boot drive so you can start up windows faster and your pc will just overall be faster

#

if you want to overclock you should go with a K series cpu

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

May i ask what overclocking is and what you get from it?

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

but you would have to change the motherboard to be compatible with it

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

i dont really want to over clock

#

not that I know what that is lol

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

basically you get more performance

#

but you probably want someone who knows what they're doing so you dont fry your cpu

spring garnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

yea I probably won’t over clock

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

its like giving your cpu more power so it runs better

#

idk i dont know much but the performance goes up

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

So is the pc part picker i have good for its price?

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

but it has to be a K series

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

And I’ll get a 1tb ssd

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

for intel only*

#

hmm

#

well the i5-8600k has similar performance but is overclockable

#

but if you switch to that you will need to switch over to a LGA-1151 motherboard because its from a different generation

#

yours is a 10th gen cpu with is LGA 1200

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

So what motherboard do you recommend

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:48 AM

#

also you don't want to go cheapo with the motherboard if you plan to overclock

#

hm idk

#

i don't know much but the one i'm going with for my build is the ASUS Z390 tuf plus gaming

#

at 158 dollars

#

its pretty decent for overclocking and some other stuff

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

Z490 because i don’t see a 390

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:50 AM

#

z490 is tenth gen

#

wont work with a 8600k

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

Oh the one i have is i5-10400

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:51 AM

#

https://www.amazon.com/TUF-Z390-Plus-Gaming-Wi-Fi-Motherboard/dp/B07HCVFCGK

#

yup

#

this is only if you are going to switch to the 8600k

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

Oh ok

#

I might just stay with the 10400

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

i was saying that 10400 gives similar performance to the 8600k but the 8600k is overclockable

gentle mica Oct 22, 2020, 9:52 AM

#

I don’t think I’ll be over locking

clever sonnet Oct 22, 2020, 9:52 AM

oh yeah i searched that up and thats what i saw, funny thing is i was confused because the rating is so low

#

im not versed in pc parts so i wont get any jokes 😅

#

also hey man that looks pretty decent but i saw a 1660S too, idk the difference but you should decide between the two

Hello i am looking for a build with the new 3070 and the new ryzen cards coming up

@deft zephyr budget?

deft zephyr Oct 22, 2020, 12:16 PM

I would like to spend less than 1300 but it is possible i can go over

for gaming

Ok just keep this mind i want it for gaming most of the time and for video recording

#

maybe sometimes streaming

stoic island Oct 22, 2020, 12:20 PM

#

@gritty zenith well that was a fun convo you had last night

#

to put simply

#

there are no simply "accepted" parts here

#

It's the cheapest decent part at any time.

#

For example, EVGA BR is good enough, and since it's one of the cheapest PSUs, we tend to go for that for lower budgets.

#

While we will use RMx/Amp/Revolution D.F./Focus GM/GX for higher budget lists at say around 1500$

I think so.

thats for them to answer.

arctic jungle Oct 22, 2020, 2:05 PM

mk sure

#

but in the meanwhile

#

@idle compass 2080 super isn't worth 1300$. You don't need to pay that much money for 32 gb of ram... for that price, pick up a 360 mm aio. wait for zen 3 on CPU and get RTX 3000 for gpu. that monitor is good tho, highly rc it... I would wait for a sale however.

@arctic jungle I might get a rtx 3080 from ebay for like 14 hundred but otherwise i heard they wont be in stock until 2021 i cant wait till then

arctic jungle Oct 22, 2020, 2:10 PM

2021 is only 2 months away...

you can get a placeholder gpu like an rx 580 or a 16 series gpu for 100-200$

get an rx 580 8 gb

So I have an older Asus pc with a GeForce GTX 980 card with an i7 3rd gen processor, 8 gigs of ram and a 64 bit system. Games are becoming slow and laggy so i was looking at upgrading my processor and my graphics card to somehing newer, will i be able to just swap them out for lets say if i upgrade to an i9 processor, will my motherboard be fine or will i need to upgrade that too? or should i just look at a new tower

#

no now is not a good time to get a 2070s since the 3070 is at about the same price range

small osprey Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

I would get a r5 3600

#

And then u dont need a cpu cooler

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

and i would get a better psu

inland parrot Oct 22, 2020, 5:26 PM

oh I just forget that my case has 4 fans and the cpu comes with a fan

@cursive haven Another thing about that build is that's pretty nice ram but the mobo only supports 2666

trail ravine Oct 22, 2020, 5:29 PM

#

yea mp34 was what ive been thinking

calm crypt Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

alright guys honestly whats the difference between the curcial p1 and p2 i feel like sometimes the p2 is cheaper is it any better or worse than the p1?

trail ravine Oct 22, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

i dont think p2 has a dram cache

#

unless im mistaken

calm crypt Oct 22, 2020, 5:31 PM

ah ok thanks mate

on an ssd?

#

que?

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

a vrm is something on a mobo

#

its a voltage regulator

#

i think

cursive haven Oct 22, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

@cursive haven Another thing about that build is that's pretty nice ram but the mobo only supports 2666
@quasi snow do you have any suggestions for another mobo under $80

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

wait @cursive haven whats ur budget for the build

cursive haven Oct 22, 2020, 5:33 PM

So, am new. Which is better 2060 or a 1660 super?

cursive haven Oct 22, 2020, 5:41 PM

#

ok

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

So, am new. Which is better 2060 or a 1660 super?
@storm carbon im pretty sure i saw a vid on a comparison on both, and based on that id say the 2060

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

Kk. Thank you.

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

just further on that, currently 1660 super is like $250 at its cheapest and rtx 2060 can be had at like $300 sometimes a little less which id say is worth for the extra fps + ray tracing support

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

One im looking at is ~340

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

yeah look elsewhere prob

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

340 is too high for a 2060? Or did you think i meant the 1660?

Sorry I should have been more clear

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

this is good

#

the only $300 one that is brand new is the gigabyte mini itx version, and i haven't tested that one yet, and knowing its form factor id say its limited in comparison so, that one is probably better

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card

#

This is the one I was looking at.

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:04 PM

#

i personally dont think its worth the extra $20 for +15mhz boost clock

#

might want to throw that in #cpus-mobo-and-memory

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

Core clock is 1680 vs 1365. Does that matter? @gritty zenith

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:05 PM

#

hold on

#

oh

#

you may have gotten confused

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

Probably lol. First time building a computer

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:07 PM

#

1365 is core clock and 1680 is the boost clock

#

what card are you looking at though? because both of those cards reach a higher boost clock

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

The one im looking at is the 340. Has a core clock of 1680. The one you linked has a core clock of 1365

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

oh

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:08 PM

#

At least according to pcpartpicker

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

mmm

balmy patio Oct 22, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

lmao it does it say that it has a core clock of 1680

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

i know im checking elsewhere to see if it was a mistake

#

alright

#

checked both cards on gigabyte website

#

on the official website they both have a reference core speed of 1680, but the windforce oc has 1770mhz core clock according to them and the regular oc has 1755 core clock according to them

#

that is probably due to the fact that the fans on the regular oc are each 10mm smaller, thus a 15mhz smaller clock

#

which i personally don't think is worth the extra $20

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:13 PM

#

So you'd go with the $320 version?

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

yeah i personally would

#

do you need ray tracing?

#

like is it important to you?

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:14 PM

#

Okay. I don't know?

#

Mostly going to play ff14, with a few other titles. So...yeah I know nothing lol

stoic island Oct 22, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

At 320$ 2060 is good.

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:15 PM

#

^

#

if you really don't care about ray tracing and want to squeeze out every last fps you could go with rx 5600xt

#

the sapphire pulse is said to be one of the best models of that card and is 297 on amazon right now + shipping

#

and the thicc version of that same card is 299.99

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

if he can save it a bit and get a 5700xt, itll be a huge jump

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

yeah

spiral zealot Oct 22, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

i play ffxiv and a few other things on a 5600XT and it's more than enough

#

but it depends on what those 'few other titles' are for you if something like a 5700XT would be a better bet

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

5600xt can even net you 30fps in 4k in some games lol if you really don't care to torture it

yea

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

o o f they r on backorder rip

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

i would either go with the red devil or sapphire card tbh

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

Mostly halo, l4d, few other older games. Thank you for your help in this though.

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

np

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

5600xt would crush those games lmao

spiral zealot Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

You can probably go 5600 XT then, for under $300

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

yes

#

easy savings

#

big brain

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

ray tracing is not needed

#

ive used ray tracing once

#

and it was for the mc beta thingy

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

i dont think ray tracing is even worth until you are at 4k

#

and that's like rtx 3080

#

so like

#

nah

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

I don't have any care for 4k tbh

https://www.newegg.com/powercolor-radeon-rx-5600-xt-axrx-5600xt-6gbd6-3dhr-oc/p/N82E16814131760R it's open box, but it's $300 flat, free shipping

mortal garnet Oct 22, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

i really wanted a 3080, but after not being able to order it for like a month, im starting to realize i dont need it

spiral zealot Oct 22, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

there are gigabyte/msi/asrock versions for under $300, but they tend to lack in cooling performance compared to the sapphire/powercolor versions

If you dont feel like ordering it, you can check your local bestbuy for it

my bestbuy is stacked on rx cards and 1660s

what about 3100

gritty zenith Oct 22, 2020, 7:15 PM

#

^

#

if you're asking bout those that means you're trying to save money, and there isn't anything wrong with a 3100 as a budget cpu imo, and with those two cpus it seems like you are mostly concerned bout gaming so

#

i mean i am gon get a 3100

#

besides isn't a 2600x more than a 3600 right now lol

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 7:18 PM

Its ~$35 cheaper on newegg

which is better the Core i5-9600K or the ryzen 5 3600

storm carbon Oct 22, 2020, 7:24 PM

#

At the same price point, assuming you'll have a gpu, 3600 would take my money.

the i5 has a .1 higher mhz clock rate lmao but the ryzen is unlocked and can be OC

whats the performance difference in a 3300x and a 2700x? And would the 2700x be be better for streaming because it has 8 cores?

final orchid Oct 22, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

oh right its a k my bad lmao

hazy rune Oct 22, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

It depends on if you’re gaming or doing other things

#

9600k beats 3600 in gaming, but I think 3600 wins elsewhere

final orchid Oct 22, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

well ill be doing editing and recording so i thinkthe 3600 would be better

hazy rune Oct 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

@silent canyon I wouldn’t buy a 2700x unless you’re getting a good deal

silent canyon Oct 22, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

theres someone selling one for 150 but i might be able to negotiate a little lower

hazy rune Oct 22, 2020, 7:40 PM

Just get 3300x
