My computer is a Pre built

hearty mist
#

ok

ripe wedge
#

CL doesnt matter so much but it does matter in some cases

hearty mist
#

so

#

it’s the latency

ripe wedge
#

but for the most part for gaming cl doesnt matter as much

hearty mist
#

what he said

little osprey
#

Anybody got any good nvidia gpu recommendations

hearty mist
#

amd

#

lol

still roostBOT
#
Dead_Rambo#8146 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

hearty mist
#

hahah

little osprey
#

Poop

ripe wedge
#

3070 looks promising

hearty mist
#

true

little osprey
#

Amd is good cpu wise

hearty mist
#

it launched correct?

little osprey
#

But gpu wise nvidia still has the advantage

ripe wedge
#

amds line up is also good but u dont have nvinc encoding and stuff

hearty mist
#

Amd is good cpu wise
@little osprey u clearly haven’t been keeeping up w the news

little osprey
#

I know their new gpu series

ripe wedge
#

nvidia is still better for streaming most likely

hearty mist
#

also 5700 xt isn’t bad it’s 2070 super performance

little osprey
#

But Ray tracing minecraft

hearty mist
#

the new amd has ray tracibg

fresh jewel

iCUE 220T RGB Airflow White
RMx White Series™ RM850x — 850 Watt and Replaced fan with white QL140
Hydro Series™ H100i RGB PLATINUM SE 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler White
6 LL120 White Fans
Corsair Commander to hook all that crap up

hearty mist
#

ray tracing isn’t something that nvidia owns. it’s just a technology they took advantage of, and now, amd is also doing it

little osprey
#

I know

fresh jewel
#

Plan on getting the ASUS Prime x570 Pro Mobo

#

Whitest Asus Mobo I can find

elfin burrow
#

new AMD 6000 chips w/ new 6000 GPU series will have Rage Mode and smart access memory, correct?

little osprey
#

But I can beat little children at hunger games while in glory @hearty mist

oblique grove
#

What cpu should i pair with a RX 6800?

hearty mist
#

just spray paint it

#

What cpu should i pair with a RX 6800?
@oblique grove 5600

foggy hazel
#

@elfin burrow there are no 6000 series CPU's

elfin burrow
#

sry meant 5000

ripe wedge
#

prolly a typo

little osprey
#

I might switch to amd

fresh jewel
#

I took my monitor apart and painted the case of it white

foggy hazel
#

:)

fresh jewel
#

looks awesome

little osprey
#

My 2060 is good but it will probably only last 5 years because of next gen

vague maple
#

5 years is a good length of time

hearty mist
#

i’m just happy that i was able to sell my 5500xt for 160 before the prices went even lower

elfin burrow
#

vague maple
fresh jewel
#

My bad

vague maple
#

its alright

#

bro fr tho amd going xgames mode taking on two HUGE companies
@hearty mist amd is a pretty big company themselves lol

little osprey
#

Without amd we would be stuck in 4 core

vague maple
#

but yeah it's good that they're forcing intel and nvidia to work harder

hearty mist
#

yes but intel and nvidia combined is a lot bigger

ripe wedge
#

@fresh jewel is that an alienware M15

#

#

I have one too

#

used it as my desktop for awhile

#

hearty mist

fresh jewel

I was worried about the space too but its been enough

little osprey

Hey I was wandering how do I connect my monitors together when only one moniter has a vga outlet and my pc doesn’t have a vga outlet either

ripe wedge
#

@little osprey I saw I was reading it through

little osprey
#

@vague maple oh ok thx so much

#

an adapter sounds like it would be fine

hearty mist
#

bro what dpi u play on srsly
@hearty mist @fresh jewel

fresh jewel
#

I bought a USB to HDMI adapter

#

for the third monitor

little osprey
#

Alright last question why doesn’t my pc shut off is it a cable problem

hearty mist
#

th

fresh jewel
#

100% dpi

little osprey
#

@hearty mist I'll buy an amd gpu if amd CEO tells nvidia CEO to go back to the kitchen

fresh jewel
#

ripe wedge
#

@little osprey what do you mean doesnt shut off?

#

fresh jewel
#

oh, h/o

ripe wedge
#

desert gulch
#

is power switch not wired in?

little osprey
#

Ok so I press the turn off button but it keeps running so I have to turn the power supply off everyone and it’s kinda annoying

hearty mist
#

bro that amount of space will do NOTHING for me like literally. i use 185 dpi

little osprey
#

No my pc works fine

desert gulch
#

you cant shut down thru windows

ripe wedge

why not just use the windows power off

desert gulch
#

ripe wedge

hearty mist
#

fresh jewel
#

What I had to get used to was turning off enhanced mouse pointing or whatever its called

hearty mist
#

and i sold my gpu so i can’t power on my pc 😩

#

What I had to get used to was turning off enhanced mouse pointing or whatever its called
@fresh jewel oh yeah mouse acceleration is annoying

vague maple
#

if you have a integrated gpu, you can use that

hearty mist
#

nah i got 3600

vague maple
#

oh

#

this channel is for people who need help with thier builds

hearty mist
#

no

fresh jewel
#

Ok, so the consensus is that, for Ryzen 5900 definitely get DDR3600?

hearty mist
#

actually wait

#

who cares if someone asks we’re here to help

fresh jewel
#

You guys have been way more helpful and welcoming then the guys in LTT discord, just saying

vague maple
#

Ok, so the consensus is that, for Ryzen 5900 definitely get DDR3600?
@fresh jewel If you're willing to drop that much on the CPU, you should be willing to drop an extra 5-20 dollars to get 3600

#

You guys have been way more helpful and welcoming then the guys in LTT discord, just saying
@fresh jewel lmao

vital warren
#

3600 cl16 is only like 75 for a 2x8 kit it’s easily doable

vague maple
#

^

#

you can get kits for below 100 that looks nice as well

hearty mist
#

3600 cl16 is only like 75 for a 2x8 kit it’s easily doable
@vital warren idk where u live but do u mind if i come

vital warren
#

usa

hearty mist
#

no way

#

u srs

vital warren
#

how much are 3600 kits u looking at

hearty mist
#

like 76

vital warren
#

oh same thing

fresh jewel
#

@fresh jewel If you're willing to drop that much on the CPU, you should be willing to drop an extra 5-20 dollars to get 3600
@vague maple
its a $100 difference

hearty mist
#

ok i fr gotta slp gn see y’all beautiful faces tomorrow

fresh jewel
#

at least on amazon

vague maple
#

@vague maple
its a $100 difference
@fresh jewel what ram kit are you looking at?

vague maple
#

you can get gskill rripjaws 3600 cl16 for like 80 dollars

#

you want a black rgb ram kit?

winged tinsel
#

Can someone critique my parts list for me

vague maple
#

get crucial ballistics

#

its for like 90 dolalrs

#

Can someone critique my parts list for me
@winged tinsel send me it

vague maple
#

i can't edit it

#

only major issue that i see

#

is that you have very little storage

winged tinsel
#

Is storage important?

vague maple
#

yes

#

if you're gaming yes

#

video editing yes

#

general productivity yes

#

you can get a 500 gig crucial p1 nvme drive for 50 dollars and a 2tb seagate barracuda hard drive for 50 dollars as well

fresh jewel
#

are playing CoD? lol

#

250 gigs

vague maple
#

yep

#

cod alone takes 250 gigs

#

that's half your storage, plus the os takes up an additional 30-50 gigs and your applications wil probably take up another 15 gigs

#

that's more than 2/3 of your storage gone, and you generally don't want to fill up your storage because then you get slower speeds

winged tinsel
#

So what is the diference between a hard drive and normal storage

fresh jewel
#

I'd go m.2 nvme if you can afford it

vague maple
#

there are 3 major forms of storage, hard drives, sata ssds and nvme ssds

#

hard drive is the slowest, sata ssds are faster and nvme ssds are faster than sata ssds

#

You should buy hard drive for bulk storage of unimportant things, like your pictures, and the fact is that sata ssds and nvme ssds are pretty much the same price nowadays that you should always buy a nvme ssd

#

you can get a 1 tb one for 100 and a 500 gig one for 50, but the price varies with model

winged tinsel
#

so If I want to game at really fast speeds and be able to download a lot onto my computer what is my best option

vague maple
#

a 1 tb nvme ssd and a 2 tb hard drive

#

that will cost you around 150 dollars

#

give or take a few bucks

#

i can choose the hard drive and ssd for you if you want

vague maple
#

lmao not a sabrent rocket

still roostBOT
#
RnAndGn#1027 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

vague maple
#

that is overkill asf

fresh jewel
#

no?

#

oh

vague maple
#

it's a good drive, but i would recommend it to professionals who do massive data transfers

#

not someone who just wants to game

fresh jewel
#

What would be a good one?

winged tinsel
#

On the pcpartpicker website what are the hard drives called? Is it external storage?

snow pelican
#

its under "storage"

vague maple
#

hard drives, ssds and nvme ssds are all under storage

#

What would be a good one?
@fresh jewel there are multiple great ssds

snow pelican
#

what kind of pc parts are least likely to depreciate over time

vague maple
#

the mp34, crucial p2, wd sn5050 etc

#

what kind of pc parts are least likely to depreciate over time
@snow pelican psus?

fresh jewel
#

I just search amazon for 1TB nvme and they are all around $100

snow pelican
#

im planning on putting together my own computer next summer and im wondering if i should buy some parts now or if i should just wait until whenever i want to buy it and just get everything

vague maple
#

yeah, most of them are at that price

winged tinsel
#

Wait until next summer

vague maple
#

im planning on putting together my own computer next summer and im wondering if i should buy some parts now or if i should just wait until whenever i want to buy it and just get everything
@snow pelican next summer? Dude, this is too early to start planning

fresh jewel
#

so why not get the rocket for that price? What would you be losing?

snow pelican
#

oh lmao really

vague maple
#

Price changes a lot in that time, as well as new hardware coming out

snow pelican
#

right

vague maple
#

so why not get the rocket for that price? What would you be losing?
@fresh jewel the rocket costs 200 dollars for 1 tb

fresh jewel
#

always wait and buy all at once. things only get faster

vague maple
#

^

snow pelican
#

ok thanks i think im just going to hold off on buying anything then

vague maple
#

yeah

fresh jewel
#

oh, i didnt see that

vague maple
#

i would suggest just saving up money at this point in time

#

so you can build like a 3k-4k build when it becomes summerr

#

make the parts list like 1-2 weeks before you want to buy everything, and then buy it

snow pelican
#

oh wow so that close

vague maple
#

yeah

#

because price fluctuates A LOT

#

like i had a parts list with a case that was 150, 2 days later, it becomes 350

snow pelican
#

wow

fresh jewel
#

plus covid messing all the prices up

snow pelican
#

that much fluctuation for a case???

winged tinsel
#

What is better 7200rpm hard drive or a 5400 rpm hard drive?

vague maple
#

no, that's an abnormal amount of fluctuation lol

snow pelican
#

oh ok haha

#

i was like wow that's amazing

vague maple
#

higher the speeds, the faster it is jaiden

fresh jewel
#

7200

vague maple
#

7200, but look at my storage lists

winged tinsel
#

Lol thanks

vague maple
#

those are the best value storage combo you can get

fresh jewel
#

I dont think your list worked

#

I clicked it and didnt see anything

vague maple
#

if you wanna save some cash, i can list you a cheaper ssd

#

oh ok

#

now?

#

@winged tinsel

fresh jewel
#

yeh

winged tinsel
#

what does nvme mean?

vague maple
#

it basically is the fastest form of storage available to you

winged tinsel
#

What would happen if I get 16 gigabytes of ram instead?

vague maple
#

nothing, if you're gaming, then you don't need 32 gigs

winged tinsel
#

Would it affect me being able to use graphic design websites?

#

Thank you for the help by the way

vague maple
#

np and no

#

16 gigs is still enough for that

tender solar
#

How much would a RTX 2060 cost rn

desert gulch
#

Most id pay is abt 300

dire shard
#

Any tips for someone who wants to make their first computer

desert gulch
#

Yes

dire shard
#

Hit me with em

desert gulch
#

Uhh

#
  1. Dont torque down anything
#

Big no no

#
  1. Dont forget to put in io shield before you put mobo in case
#

Ive done that

dire shard
#

Ok what about shopping for parts

desert gulch
#

Budget?

dire shard
#

Id like to think im somewhat knowledgeable than the average person but I'm sorta clueless

#

Well im planning on buying it over time so it could go up to 1.6k

desert gulch
#

Ok

#

Also dont piece buy pc parts

dire shard
#

Why not?

desert gulch
#

Cause if you buy something and it doesnt work and is out of return period

dire shard
#

Oh

desert gulch
#

Ye

#

So its best to order everything at once

dire shard
#

Well it's probably over a month long period maybe 6 weeks

desert gulch
#

Still

#

Try to buy everythung at same tine

dire shard
#

So maybe like put that money on a gift card or something

desert gulch
#

You only have 30 day return period

#

If I were you id wait for new amd cpu and gpu

dire shard
#

In that case should I save up cash and go into a store?

desert gulch
#

Are you near a microcenter?

dire shard
#

There's one 14 miles away

desert gulch
#

O nice

dire shard
#

I was thinking Best Buy

desert gulch
#

Best buy wont have as much

#

And the guys at microcenter know their stuff really well

#

Microcenter has higher chance of having everything on your list

dire shard
#

I have a pc part list ready but I'm not sure if it's any good

desert gulch
#

Post the link

#

Or dm it to me

#

I dont think the server allows people under lvl 3 to post links

#

But you can try

dire shard
desert gulch
#

Ok

#

Checking it rn

#

Many things to change

dire shard
#

This was made pre new Nvidia cards

desert gulch
#

First off, dont buy 2080 super

#

Oke good

dire shard
#

And I won't be able to get the 3070

desert gulch
#

Buy 3000 series of amd 6000

#

*or

#

And next

#

Cpu

#

Amd has new cpu coming to retail on Nov 5

#

So id wait

#

And get a better ssd

#

Try to go for a m.2 form factor

torpid belfry
desert gulch
#

And nvme if possible

fleet bluff
#

@torpid belfry please let them finish

#

You are interrupting

torpid belfry
#

bro you can scrool

desert gulch
#

Johnny dont get h510

#

I'll help you l8tr

torpid belfry
#

ight

desert gulch
#

@dire shard so yeah ssd id go for sn750 or mp34

#

Great bang for buck

dire shard
#

Ok

desert gulch
#

And will be faster than current ssd

dire shard
#

Hold on a moment im gonna go to my pc so it would be easier

desert gulch
#

Ok

dire shard
#

what should I pick for a graphics card?

#

and I searched up for an AMD 6000 and I couldn't find one on there

fleet bluff
#

Because they are not released yet

little osprey
#

What video camera woulda y'all recommend for job interviews?

#

What I'm looking at rn

dire shard
#

I need a CPU cooler and I'd be almost done

torpid belfry
#

ryzen comes with one

#

and smoe intel

dire shard
#

oh wait for real?

little osprey
#

Yep

dire shard
#

nice

little osprey
#

Though I bought a ryzen 9 cpu cooler for my ryzen 5

#

The wraith prism rgb

dire shard
#

I'm gonna get the Zen 3 though it apparently doesn't have a cooler bundle

little osprey
#

@dire shard corsair liquid cooling

#

Can't go wrong

dire shard
#

I'm a bit nervous about liquid cooling

#

I'm going with a Corsair A500

ripe wedge
#

intels come with them but only the non K variants

#

also not all ryzen 5000 cpus will come with a cooler

#

liquid cooling (AIO) is fine

#

the Ryzen 5 5600X will have a cooler

#

but not the 7 5800x

little osprey
#

Some 7s and 9s for the 3 gen don't either

#

And there aren't any dangers about aio. I'd be worried doing a custom loop, but not an aio

woeful phoenix
#

Anyone needs some help with a parts list?

fleet bluff
#

I currently have an i5-4600k and a gtx 770 ti and I like to play first person shooter games at 4K and I am on a steady 10 fps

#

What do I upgrade first

woeful phoenix
#

@dire shard I can make some changes to your parts list if you want.

fleet bluff
#

4690k my bad

dire shard
#

Nah I got it fixed dont worry

woeful phoenix
#

@fleet bluff What monitor do you have

dire shard
#

thanks for the offer though

fleet bluff
#

Predator XB273ks

woeful phoenix
#

@dire shard I wouldnt get a RM, get a 750W Rmx also get a sn750 as nvme m.2 for 15 bucks more? worth imo

ripe wedge
#

@fleet bluff upgrade the gpu

fleet bluff
#

What gpu

ripe wedge
#

id suggest something like a GTX 1650 Super

fleet bluff
#

Ok

dire shard
#

I said I got it dealt with already but thanks I guess

ripe wedge
#

but you may need a power supply upgrade also

fleet bluff
#

How good is that at 4K

woeful phoenix
#

Why did you buy a 4k monitor..?

fleet bluff
#

Because I’ve heard it’s crystal clear

woeful phoenix
#

You dont have the specs for that at all

#

So either youre trolling or you really need to save up for a new pc

fleet bluff
#

I’m currently saving up

ripe wedge
#

oh yeah I just read the 4K part

#

you should bump it down to 1080p

woeful phoenix
#

You own the monitor or you plan to buy it/

#

?

ripe wedge
#

I think he owns it

fleet bluff
#

Isn’t that the fancy new dynamic super resolution feature?

#

I own it

ripe wedge
#

yeah I can do dss but I dont recommend it

fleet bluff
#

Ok

woeful phoenix
#

@ripe wedge Dont bother texting him, he is trolling

ripe wedge
fleet bluff
#

Does that put strain on the gpu

ripe wedge
#

ofc im goin to bed now

woeful phoenix
ripe wedge
#

lol laptop

woeful phoenix
#

He is trolling

ripe wedge
#

7700hq is a laptop cpu

fleet bluff
#

Dammit

ripe wedge
#

@fleet bluff whats the point

#

you gain nothing

fleet bluff
#

I know

ripe wedge
#

and waste peoples time

fleet bluff
#

I was just bored

#

I am very sorry

#

I promise I won’t do again

#

Should I get more ram though like for real this time

ripe wedge
#

id move up from 2400mhz

fleet bluff
#

Ok

woeful phoenix
#

Upgrade mobo cpu maybe to a b550mag tomahawk or more budget but not upgradable b450 tomahawk max + 16gb 3600mhz cl16

#

Cpu either 3600 or 3600x

#

The rest keep them

ripe wedge
#

@woeful phoenix im assuming its all a laptop

fleet bluff
#

I’m getting a new pc next year

#

It is a laptop

woeful phoenix
#

For now best you can do is either get another stick 16gb if its only one

ripe wedge
#

eh I see not a real point in doing it

fleet bluff
#

It’s currently one out of the 4 slots

woeful phoenix
#

or get 2x 8gb 3200mhz

fleet bluff
#

That are used

woeful phoenix
#

Its a change, he can dual channel

fleet bluff
#

They are sodimm slots I believe

#

Ddr4

ripe wedge
#

yeah the smaller ram

#

for laptops

fleet bluff
#

Yeah

ripe wedge
#

honestly

fleet bluff
#

But my laptop is still somehow bulky

woeful phoenix
#

I believe its less expensive to get another 16gb

ripe wedge
#

your laptop might not support above 2666mhz ram

fleet bluff
#

Yeah

ripe wedge
#

so it isnt worth upgrading

fleet bluff
#

I believe that’s the mono

woeful phoenix
#

Dual channel will help him tho, if he wants to do something rn

fleet bluff
#

Mobo

ripe wedge
#

I doubt its just 1 stick of 16gb

woeful phoenix
#

he no joke trolling again xD

fleet bluff
#

I’m not too sure if that is it

ripe wedge
#

from factory?

fleet bluff
#

I looked in task manager

#

“1 out of 4 slots used”

ripe wedge
#

ah then maybe or windows is just being a crack head

#

or

#

you could have 32gb but dont know it

#

and have a dead slot

fleet bluff
#

16 gb sticks are a thing

ripe wedge
#

yeah

#

but weird for an oem company to do that

fleet bluff
#

I swear it was advertised as 32gb

woeful phoenix
#

go on bios then and check it out

fleet bluff
#

Ok

woeful phoenix
#

Aight cya

ripe wedge
#

only way to figure it out is to open it and look at the stick(s)

#

imma sleep now

fleet bluff
#

I’m currently on my ipad

#

Goodnight the real jake

#

I love you

#

I cry

#

Laptop bios are weird

#

Toshiba drive?

#

I can not make out what it says someone help

foggy hazel
#

the toshiba drive is a MQ01ABD100 model

fleet bluff
#

Ok thank you

#

What's the SSD

#

I'd that hard to find judging in this picture

#

Is*

foggy hazel
#

thats just the top line

#

its a Lite-on CV1-8B128

fleet bluff
#

Wow

#

Is that good?

foggy hazel
#

its a oem drive

#

its not anything fancy

#

just like the 1 stick of ram is quite normal

#

(for a OEM machine)

What does OEM mean I'm dumb

foggy hazel
#

unlike what @ripe wedge talked about.

#

its very very normal for them to do daft things like run with only 1 stick of ram

#

OEM = original equipment manufacturer

ripe wedge
#

Well for a gaming laptop?

fleet bluff
#

Ok makes sense

foggy hazel
#

very normal @ripe wedge

fleet bluff
#

But the ram is Kingston ram

ripe wedge
#

Oh ok well didn’t know PepeShrug

foggy hazel
#

its a very recent thing that a laptop has dual sticks

#

even on silly expensive ones

ripe wedge
#

I know oems like to do it on desktops

#

A lot

fleet bluff
#

I regret getting a laptop

foggy hazel
#

its equally common on laptops

ripe wedge
#

So yeah getting another stick of ram will be a huge upgrade for you

#

Even if it isn’t 16gb stick

fleet bluff
#

But is it good for like one year

#

Cause I'm getting a new PC next year

ripe wedge
#

You could get like a 4gb of same brand and speed

#

Yeah I think so

fleet bluff
#

Ok

ripe wedge
#

Naed you still here?

#

You think a 16gb stick and a 4gb stick would be fine?

#

Cuz 4gb stick would be cheaper

fleet bluff
#

20gb ram sounds quirky

foggy hazel
#

it would just be a increase to amount

#

@ripe wedge for actual questions, dont worry about using @ to grab my attention :)

ripe wedge
#

Oh ok lol I usually don’t like pinging people that often

foggy hazel
#

for it to work in dual channel, it would have to be identical sizes

#

and ofc compatible etc

ripe wedge
#

Ah I thought it could work dual channel with different sized ram but same speed and model

#

I know you can mix match models but better compatibility if it’s the same model/brand

foggy hazel
#

aye

fleet bluff
#

How could I improve this

#

Yes I am aware of 5th gen ryzen

stoic island
#

but are you aware of

fleet bluff
#

And Radeon 6000 series

stoic island
#

MP34/SN750/SX8200 pro

#

:P

fleet bluff
#

No I am not

#

What are they

stoic island
#

and motherboards with wifi :P

fleet bluff
#

Yes I am

woeful phoenix
#

@stoic island dont bother he is trolling

fleet bluff
#

I am not

#

I promise

woeful phoenix
#

Like you did before

#

sure buddy

stoic island
#

I'll have fun for a bit

fleet bluff
#

I swear on my mum's life

woeful phoenix
#

378$ 2tb 860 evo lmao

stoic island
#

aud

fleet bluff
#

AUD is great

#

But overpriced

#

MP34/SN750/SX8200 pro
Are these ssds?

stoic island
#

done

#

made it cheaper and better at the same time

#

@fleet bluff have fun

deep skiff
#

why 3 drives tho

fleet bluff
#

What!

stoic island
#

@deep skiff they had 4 in their first list

fleet bluff
#

Thank you

#

You are an actual legend

#

I love you

stoic island
#

it was 2+1tb 860 evo, 1tb 970 evo, 2tb barracuda

fleet bluff
#

Yeah

#

I'm not great at storage

stoic island
#

changed that to 2tb SX8200 pro, 1tb SN750, 1tb 860qvo

#

that's only to start off

#

you sure you need 4tb of ssd storage?

fleet bluff
#

I'm not too sure tbh

stoic island
#

the only reason I went 2tb sx8200 pro was because it was just like 30aud more than the 2tb 860evo lmao

#

for much fater read write

fleet bluff
#

I currently have 1.28tb storage

stoic island
#

well

#

I'm guessing you can do a single 2tb sx8200 pro and the 1tb 860qvo to start off

fleet bluff
#

I have to uninstall things a lot

stoic island
#

leave a m.2 slot free for later

fleet bluff
#

Yes

stoic island
#

so 3tb total storage to start off

fleet bluff
#

I am very good at using storage wisely

stoic island
#

do you tho >:P

#

hehe

fleet bluff
#

Since I survive with 1.28tb

#

1tb hdd

#

I can math lmao

stoic island
#

good maths

fleet bluff
#

It's like 10pm at night and I am very tired pls don't judge me lmao

stoic island
#

fleet bluff
#

Nah

#

I'll sleep at 1

#

Yay!

#

I wish you luck

uncut pelican
#

Tyty

#

I should probs think of a back up doe

fleet bluff
#

I will pray that you will get it before the bots do

#

Done

uncut pelican
#

I wish they limited the amount u can get and maybe add bot prevention

#

Ty bro

#

Much appreciated

fleet bluff
#

Yes

#

I can imagine how annoying it must be to save up for something for a long time then just see it get sold out 3 minutes after release

uncut pelican
#

Ikr

#

If i dont get it i will wait til probs December to get a gpu

fleet bluff
#

Yeah good idea

#

What's your current gpu

uncut pelican
#

1060 lol

#

And i use a laptop

#

Ive never built before

fleet bluff
#

Nice

#

1060 max q or just 1060 mobile

uncut pelican
#

Great question

#

I shall look

fleet bluff
#

Ok

uncut pelican
#

Its just reg 1060

fleet bluff

Hello people of the internet

slim escarp
#

Hello

little osprey
#

i was wondering if this case was good SAMA Sama-3D Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

pseudo forge
#

What’s up yall I’m a console gamer bout to build my first pc

#

Gonna be gaming at 1080/1440p

slim escarp
#

Me too just not for a while I’m building mine in December

little osprey
#

not bad

sterile wind
#

make sure the fans match the ones that come with your case

fleet bluff
#

You could replace the fans in the case

#

Just take them out

#

Couldn't you

slim escarp
#

Yeah

sterile wind
#

you could

#

it just seems unnecessary

pseudo forge
#

Will the new ryzen CPU’s sellout just like the new gpus did

#

Or will stock be better for CPU’s

foggy hazel
#

would that not have been a relevant question before you declared (earlier today) that you are going to get a 5000 series cpu @pseudo forge ?

little osprey
#

hey

pseudo forge
#

I am gonna get one but how quick will I have to be

foggy hazel
#

no one knows

pseudo forge
#

Will the bots beat everyone to it

sullen spoke
#

Only one way to find out

little osprey
#

i am looking for a good case with pre-installed fans and for it to be under 50usd with free shipping and found this (SAMA Sama-3D Black Steel / Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Computer Case) is it any good?

foggy hazel
#

cheap or good

#

pick one

little osprey
#

good

foggy hazel
#

not that case

little osprey
#

why

foggy hazel
#

because its a cheap piece of bs

sullen spoke
#

Fractal design focus g is around 50usd

little osprey
#

i need it to have fans pre installed

#

like a min of 2 fans

foggy hazel
#

as @sullen spoke said above

#

Focus G

little osprey
#

ok

#

any other

foggy hazel
#

aside from the whole "must be under 50usd" part

little osprey
#

yes

foggy hazel
#

as i said. cheap or good

little osprey
#

both

foggy hazel
#

not happening

pseudo forge
#

Corsair 220t is a good case comes with 3 fans

#

Or the cooler master td500

little osprey
#

good

sullen spoke
#

more often than not, it is cheap for a reason lol

little osprey
#

ok

#

will seee

#

ok

#

now is the rx 5500xt good in games

foggy hazel
#

@pseudo forge td500 is about 80+usd, and 220T is about 100+usd

#

just a wee bit far from the "must be under 50usd" part

#

read reviews

little osprey
#

ok i will go with the foucus g

foggy hazel
#

you are going to need to educate yourself a fair deal

#

because there seems to be a fairly big disconnect between what you think is possible and what is actually possible

#

and the fastest way to do that, is by reading reviews

little osprey
#

ok

#

now is the rx 5500xt good in games
@little osprey

#

is it

#

the asrock phantom d gaming to be exact

foggy hazel
#

read reviews

stoic island
#

MX330-g air is really good for 3 fans at 55$

little osprey
#

i did

foggy hazel
#

no one knows your requirements

stoic island
little osprey
#

ok

#

nice

slim escarp
#

You and that case lol

stoic island
#

It's great

#

it replaced the focus g in my heart

slim escarp
#

I know it’s just your go to case

stoic island
#

go to budget case

slim escarp
#

I like the case

little osprey
#

but is the rx5500xt a good performer to play all e-spotrs titles and some AAA games

stoic island
#

td500 mesh is still my go to 100$ case

slim escarp
#

Well yeah

foggy hazel
#

@little osprey again, read reviews

#

actual reviews

stoic island
#

why not a 1650 super

little osprey
#

i did most of them say a good perfomer

stoic island
#

or 1660 super

#

I'll leave you to do your research

little osprey
#

but is it better than a gtx 1650

foggy hazel
#

you would know this IF you read reviews

little osprey
#

i like going with a full amd build

stoic island
#

:P

slim escarp
#

I’m getting the 1650 super and so far the videos I watched it’s perfect for the type of gaming I want to play

little osprey
#

ok

#

can someone help me pick parts for a gaming build thats under 750 usd with free shipping and without a monitor and os

pseudo forge
#

Would a US PSU work in the UK?

sullen spoke
#

Lol mr1

stoic island
#

might need an adapter, but if you're buying it in the UK, it should come with the UK plug.

pseudo forge
#

I’m shipping a pc from US to UK

slim escarp
#

I can but I need someone to review it cause I’m not the best @little osprey

sullen spoke
#

might need adapter than

stoic island
#

most PSUs can handle both EU and US voltages

#

@pseudo forge might want an adapter cable then

little osprey
#

I can but I need someone to review it cause I’m not the best @little osprey
@slim escarp its ok

slim escarp
#

@little osprey do you need wifi

little osprey
#

yes

#

in the motherboard

#

not a pci card

#

they suck

#

i followed some build guides for budget gaming and most of them are too much for me

arctic jungle
#

??

#

they don't suck

slim escarp
arctic jungle
#

it's a good idea to get a separate internet card if you're on a budget and your wifi isn't great

pseudo forge
#

Buy a ps5 @little osprey

arctic jungle
#

@slim escarp what's the budget

pseudo forge
#

A ps5 will be better than a $750 gaming pc @little osprey

arctic jungle
#

@pseudo forge that's just false

#

you can do 10 times more things with a computer than a ps5

#

@slim escarp good thing to keep in mind for hard drives- about 25$ per tb

little osprey
#

no i hate sony

arctic jungle
#

sata ssds- 50$ per tb

#

nvme 3.0 drives- 100$ per tb

#

and nvme 4.0 drives- 150%$ per tb

little osprey
#

i already have a 1tb hdd laying around and a 128gb m.2ssd also laying around

arctic jungle
#

is it nvme?

#

or just sata m.2

little osprey
#

i would like to play gtav and all nfs games and forza games and may stream a bit

#

or just sata m.2
@arctic jungle sata

arctic jungle
#

that's fine too

#

one sec

little osprey
#

so storage max a 512gb ssd

#

no need for a hdd

#

a single sata ssd works just fine with me

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey you can use the 1 tb hdd for all games

#

boot off the sata ssd

little osprey
#

yes

#

read up

#

i have a boot drive and and hdd

#

just need an ssd max 512

#

not any more

#

What webcam woulda y'all recommend for job interview

My mobo doesn’t come with a m.2 heat sink should I buy one they are only like 7 dollars

little osprey
#

@slim escarp what nvme?

sullen spoke
#

most nvme do not need heatsink

#

and the ones that do usually come with the drive

slim escarp
#

The mp34

#

@little osprey

little osprey
#

Nah

#

You're good

Ok thx

If it was a gigabyte then maybe, but team group mp34 doesn't need one

Here's what I'm looking at

#

So who got a 3070

little osprey
#

Never

next garden
#

dab

little osprey
#

Good for you

#

I'm getting a 6000 series

next garden
#

best buy has a holiday return by January 6th so if I can get that I can just return this

#

but this value was too good to pass up just in case I dont get that

zinc isle
#

grats

frosty crystal
#

I might have ready ask this but want it be Stupid to buy the 3070 or should I get one

next garden
#

why?

#

its basically the 2080ti for half the price

#

ah gotcha

#

if you're on a budget deffinatly. its an incredible card for its price

#

it compares to the 2080ti which was a $1400 card

#

and its $500

zinc isle
#

if desperate, evga has the 2080ti for 699 on their site, but could just hold out until they are aval in stores

frosty crystal
#

I’m not getting the fe 3th party one

next garden
#

the asus one will be good

#

and it has rgb

frosty crystal
#

And the 3th party ones are 520 540 £

next garden
#

the more expensive ones are pre overclocked which you can do yourself

trail lily
#

any one looking for a custom pc dm me

@trail lily and why would they DM you?

you have shown zero action that shows you know what you are talking about.

That launch was pretty bad again

arctic jungle
#

@winged tinsel no it wasn;t...

#

what was wrong with it?

foggy hazel
#

lack of stock

arctic jungle
#

I mean

#

that's going to happen with EVERY single launch.

#

happened with the 10900k and 10700k

#

happened at the 2000 series launch too

winged tinsel
#

Newegg sold out in about 5 seconds and best buy would have an add to cart button but if you clicked it it was an error message and then the whole best buy site crashed also nvidia still says coming soon for all of the gpu's

little osprey
#

@little osprey i would wait until we get ray tracing performance numbers from the rx 6000 series

#

also id wait for amds solution to dlss 2.0

#

because it doesnt matter if amds card is faster if nvidia can artificially make it better with dlss

inland parrot
#

okay now I have many options now, the options are B550 a pro, b550m bazooka, azrock b550m steel legend, asus tough gaming b550m plus, msi b550 gaming plus or the msi mortar, or msi b550 gaming edge wifi,

foggy hazel
#

since DLSS depends on nvidia supporting it. That is another factor @little osprey

little osprey
#

yes

how do i make a storage pool for my ssd

hey i was just wondering can i make 3 different 2.5 sata hdd with different capasites as one big hard drive?

One from wd 1tb@5400rpm and one samsung 360gb @7200rpm and one toshiba 480gb @5400rpm

i’ve never heard of it and neither does it make sense

torpid belfry
stoic island
#

I don't like that list one bit :(

#

On mobile rn, lemme pull up an old 700$ list

#

Main thing I didn't like on your list was the CPU, GPU model, motherboard, and PSU

#

Ventus likes to overheat

#

3100 performs better in gaming afaik

#

B550 gives you more options for future proofing

#

And better sound chip, and dual NVMe

#

PSU wise, TT smart sucks

#

Ram wise I personally hate team Vulcan ram

#

GPU went oos in my list, I'll change it

#

@torpid belfry when you say 700$ budget, do you mean 700$ max or like 800$ max?

torpid belfry
#

750 is the highest my brother can go

quasi snow
#

I'm not allowed to send links but there's a 250 dollar brand new 1660 ti on ebay

#

Sold by newegg

stoic island
#

@quasi snow I wouldn't grab it for the reason I said a second ago

#

Ventus cards like to overheat

quasi snow
#

oh mb

stoic island
#

Ventus has a very thin heatsink on 16xx and 20xx cards

torpid belfry
#

my friends video card doesn't work anymore and he only has 160$ and he asking me if the 1050 ti is a good choose for his money

stoic island
#

Nah

sterile wind
#

for 10-1200 whats a good build (3700x+)

stoic island
#

Try 1650 super

#

@sterile wind when building

torpid belfry
#

ight ill tell him

stoic island
#

I would say 5600x+3070 depending on when you're building @sterile wind

sterile wind
#

ok

#

i was thinking something like that

#

whats the psu req on 3070?

stoic island
#

Requirement? There's no requirement just for the GPU

#

550w will do just fine in most cases

#

650w Phanteks Amp will likely do you fine

#

@sterile wind you want me to make you a list when I have time?

sterile wind
#

sure

torpid belfry
#

now his parents are giving him 110$ more smh he askin what he should get now

#

spoiled

sterile wind
#

1660 super or ti?

torpid belfry
#

ight ill tell em idk why he askin me

sterile wind
#

whats that total amount he has?

torpid belfry
#

290

#

1660 ti is prolly the best he can get or super

stoic island
#

@torpid belfry if 290$ just get a 250$ 1660 super then

vague maple
#

mr111 you need any help lol

#

1660 super preforms better than a 580 i'm quite certain

#

dude i can't get past the captcha on pcpartpicker

ill tell him

i click the i am human button and it just does some orange circle thing and then stops

it doesn't let me do the captcha

what did i say?

#

i said beepboop

stoic island
#

@sterile wind bro, you know that a 160$ 1650 super outperforms a rx580 right

#

1660 super outperforms a rx580 easily

vague maple
#

knew it

#

1660 super preforms better than a 580 i'm quite certain

@stoic island for some people vram matters

@stoic island for some people vram matters
@sterile wind if you really need the extra vram, then you would increase your budget

stoic island
#

@sterile wind when people have a vram intensive task, they'd mention it :P

sterile wind

:p

and 300$ for 580 is horrible value

#

can someone please help me troubleshoot why my steam isn't working?

desert gulch
#

well we gonna need more info on steam

#

try going task manager and closing every part of steam

little osprey
#

@tulip prairie its a Good Build

stoic island
#

@tulip prairie by the way the pricing on the GPU is wrong

#

And there's some other stuff I might try to change

#

It's 720 euro MSRP

vague maple
#

well we gonna need more info on steam
@desert gulch ok so the application is opening, but none of the images are loading and whenever i click add to cart, it just doesn't work at all. Whenever I try to open the website, it automatically says the ip address could not be found

#

ill close everything in steam and try again

#

i've ended everything in task manager

#

i also don't boot steam automatically at startup, should i turn on that and restart?

stoic island
#

No

#

That doesn't matter

vague maple
#

ok

tulip prairie
#

ive already bought the gpu, the one i got isnt available on partpicker

vague maple
#

still isn't working, images aren't loading and i cant add anything to cart

#

it's also saying that my friend's network is unreachable when the wifi is working just fine

#

and i already scanned using windows defender for any viruses or threats and it turned up negative

#

@stoic island

#

naed can you help please?

stoic island
#

@vague maple use mobile data

vague maple
#

what?

#

i'm on my pc

#

i'm typing on discord via pc and i dont have wifi capability

stoic island
#

@tulip prairie wait what GPU was it

#

Just realized that's a 3070 with 680 euro listed price

#

I thought it was a 3080

tulip prairie
#

GIGABYTE GeForce RTX 3070 GAMING OC

vague maple
#

is this problem worthy of naed?

stoic island
#

Whew that's a lot spent on that

#

Thought it was 3080

tulip prairie
#

well its already done

stoic island
#

@vague maple use mobile data on your phone, use hotspot

vague maple
#

why?

desert gulch
#

ye

#

try it

stoic island
#

Yes I'm saying I thought it was 3080 at first soo

desert gulch
#

it could be wifi blocking it tbh

stoic island
#

Because wifi can be crappy

#

Yea

vague maple
#

i don't have wifi capabilities on my motherboard

stoic island
#

Your ISP might just have some port disabled

vague maple
#

my connection is via ethernet

desert gulch
#

oof

vague maple
#

this is stupid but what is isp lmao

stoic island
#

Wifi Ethernet same thing in the end

desert gulch
#

bet your parents blocked you xD

vague maple
#

what

desert gulch
#

lol

stoic island
#

Then connect your phone to your PC and use hotspot that way

vague maple
#

how do i connect my phone to my pc?

#

just to clarify

stoic island
#

Usb

vague maple
#

ok

#

that would work?

#

my motherboard doesnt have wireless networking capabilities just to classify, the only way i can connect to a network is via a ethernet cable

#

@stoic island should i restart my wifi and then do the phone thing if it doesn't work?

stoic island
#

why not both at once

#

reset wifi while using phone for wifi

vague maple
#

ok

cyan plaza
#

restarting router and/or modem might work as well

slim escarp
#

You can connect your phone to your pc

#

What do you do once that happens like spread your phone into your pc how would that be helpful?

desert gulch
#

i think his parents blocked steam on his wifi lmao

vague maple
#

no my parents are definitely not technologically advanced enough to do that lol

desert gulch
#

@vague maple your ISP could've screwed something over, that's why we're asking you to test with mobile data

vague maple
#

trust me when i say they dont know how to do it

stoic island

It is as easy as the ISP asking "hey do you want parental restrictions", and them saying yes.

#

It's likely not your parents doing it directly

#

But the ISP doing it

vague maple
#

no way that my router company could have contacted them

You think ISPs do things immediately?

They take a while to get crap done

You could call them on Monday and it's still not done by Friday
