Thats fine

no offense but look at it LOL

¯_(ツ)_/¯
little osprey
yes and transparent fans?? lol
pseudo forge
You took my RGB out 😂 @stoic island
zealous edge
Tuff
stoic island
@pseudo forge look closer at the ram
look at the specs
I'm not taking RGB off
I'm adding on performance
stoic island
and I grabbed a case that had RGB fans so you didn't have to spend that 80$ for LL120s
little osprey
i cant find it like bruh
pseudo forge
I’ve fallen into the RGB case
pseudo forge
Curse*
little osprey
nowhere to be found
stoic island
@little osprey what list are you trying to edit
zealous edge
Custom*
pseudo forge
Im hoping for something that’s looks similar to this

little osprey
sonic themed? lmfao
pseudo forge
I ain’t going for that theme

But that sorta style
zealous edge

That case is expensive

@little osprey what list are you trying to edit
@stoic island uh here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xqpNqp

@pseudo forge here's the thing, you want to spend ~240usd on that and fans, or do you want to spend 100usd on this
#build-pics message
pseudo forge
This is my first ever pc I just want it to look good and perform well
little osprey
HAH
breh
i was first like that then i was like eh screw rgb
im not anti rgb just like
pseudo forge
It was a joke
little osprey
realistically its just nice for your own eyes and other than that if you send it to some people to show off or something
zealous edge
Kk
pseudo forge
But aesthetic is important for my pc
little osprey
LOL
stoic island
240usd isn't pulling numbers out of my rear either, 140$ o11, like 50$ for 2 pack of LL120s
pseudo forge
I want it to look good
little osprey
"it was a joke"
pseudo forge
What about the Corsair 465?
zealous edge
220t airflow
stoic island
zealous edge
Is good
pseudo forge
I just like how the o11 dynamic has glass on front and side
pseudo forge
Bear in mind I’m buying all my parts during Black Friday and cyber Monday
So it’ll be cheaper
Few deals
stoic island
just need to remind you that the o11 is a money sink
you can throw a ton of money in there for a good aesthetic, or you could just not.
pseudo forge
That’s very true
zealous edge
I agree
pseudo forge
At first I didn’t care about aesthetic and RGB
stoic island
but yea
pseudo forge
Then I started seeing good PC’s
zealous edge
Rgb looks good
pseudo forge
And just fell into the trap
stoic island
spending an extra what, 200usd there for a different aesthetic
zealous edge
Il tell u that
stoic island
that's a no in my book
I'm fine with spending a bit more for aesthetic
but not that much at all
pseudo forge
But fans are gonna keep everything cooler
stoic island
not really
pseudo forge
So they ain’t really for aesthetic
zealous edge
Yo man0
stoic island
TD500 mesh is one of the best performing cases in GN testing
there's a reason I like it
zealous edge
U can keep it cooler with only 2 fans lmao
U dont need 10
The case is a waste of money
stoic island
oh and the "fans gonna keep everything cooler" thing?
lemme introduce you to this @pseudo forge

Gonna go for 5700 xt I think

You should’ve got the 3070

someones like "whY tho???? THERes So mAny BetEr ONEs"
pseudo forge
Good bang for your buck
little osprey
Arctic freezer ii ftw
@stoic island i heard its rly good

It is
pseudo forge
You could get a 3080 in your budget
little osprey
im fine
zealous edge
Who even knows
little osprey
im not gonna play those intensive games really
zealous edge
When they gonna re stock
little osprey
probably gonna stream minecraft and host a mc server for my friends
little osprey
that explains the 32gb i hope
zealous edge
Lol ye

I’m gonna build my pc end of November

Won’t buy a gpu tho

I GOT THE GOODS
I GOT the c r e a m
wait
@next kestrel a micro atx in an atx mid tower
wouldnt that be a waste of space or no
next kestrel
nah, no problem
little osprey
alrighty
next kestrel
i found one a while back from like 3 years ago
and its as good as new
also parts list private
little osprey
o sry
balanced eh
WAIT
@next kestrel
if i plan to get a 5600x
the motherboard??
gen 3 ?
wait nvm
next kestrel
yeah thats a good mobo
little osprey
alr
uh
instead of a 2080s fe
im gonna go with a 2070s strix
@next kestrel
thats fine right
bc on ebay theyre going for way cheaper
next kestrel
make sure they fit
weak field
all fun and games till you check the dimensions of the card and its 704mm
little osprey
holy crap
HOLY CRAp
@next kestrel I FOUND A $350 STRIX 2070s on eBay
that make my build $1234 LOL
next kestrel
nice!
weak field
instant buy
even if you dont have the money
5700xt for 300$ on craiglist for me
the same dude has got a 1080ti and i9 9900k build for 800$ with 2tb of nvme m.2 and 32gb of 5.0mhz ram
fringe kayak
little osprey
@desert gulch it is hes sold many b4 and he has a 5.0 rating
weak field
@fringe kayak maybe the otherway around
high end gpu with a mid range cpu depends on how you use it tho but its subject to change
@desert gulch itd be a good deal to buy and then replace the gpu in a couple months to like a 3060 or 3070 when they go down and itd be like a god tier pc for that cheap
desert gulch
yeah tbh
i mean 1080ti is still a hell of a card
in 2020
it sits a lil bit above my 5700xt i think
pseudo forge
Anyone got a RTX4070?
desert gulch
stop xD
little osprey
Is there such a thing of a practice building a PC? Basically fake Items to make a PC so you get the jist of what you're doing
little osprey
On steam?
desert gulch
ye
little osprey
yeah
desert gulch
i think
little osprey
That too^
desert gulch
id say pc building sim is better imo
little osprey
I know how to build myself because i had to fix my old one but i need it for someone who doesn't know
Yeah
more immersive too
desert gulch
yeah
little osprey
Immersive and experience (Hope it gets on VR not gonna lie)
little osprey
But the issue is, this person has an old ass macbook
like the RAM on that thing is 4GB
which is common though
desert gulch
oof
pseudo forge
You can always buy a pre build 🥴
desert gulch
no uzi prebuilt is bad value lmao
pseudo forge
You can get a 3080 with a pre build
That’s where they all gone
Into the pre builds
vital warren
meanwhile all 3080 prebuilts are 2k
little osprey
yeah
pseudo forge
Duxkik pc market
little osprey
This person is looking around 1k incase it they don't like it
little osprey
no
pseudo forge
The new gen consoles are better than mid range PCS
vital warren
at the prices yes uzi
can't really build a console killer for 500
depends on your definiton of mid range
pseudo forge
700-809
800*
With the 3070 I see 1k as a high end performing pc
Obvs once you hit 2k+ it’s just crazy
vital warren
eh i really only consider it high end when it gets close to 1500
like 1300 area
i'd say 800-1200 is mid range
either way i'd never go back to console
ever
pseudo forge
What’s wrong with it
The new gens look really good
I’m switching from console to pc
first ever pc
vital warren
yeah new gens look good but pc is just so much
like
i can't describe it
exciting ig
pseudo forge
If you went back to console would you feel a difference
Performance wise
How big is the difference
vital warren
well i have a pretty crappy pc rn so anything is an upgrade
i used to play on an xbox one
games were okay
a little rough around the edges
but I'm kind of interested in the new consoles
my brother is getting the xbox so i'll test it out
and then my other brother just bought a 3080
lmao
little osprey
expensive, damn dude
vital warren
he's building a new pc like me and he found one in stock at best buy and grabbed it
i got to hold on
it*
very heavy
vital warren
fr
little osprey
wait isn't best buy going bankrupt or it's losing people because of the online stuff?
vital warren
i have no idea
little osprey
I know it's losing people by the year
also no offense but your brother is probably a goblin

my price is around 1800-1900 $ usd and my purpose is for video editing and gaming

No way to wait?

my friend told me to join this server so that people could help me out with this type of stuff

you could

yeah
hazy rune
Some new ram might be nice
weak field
im gonna try to get a monitor for my first build
was gonna go with a 144hz but if the 240’s on sale ill just cop one of them
hazy rune
240hz is a waste imo
weak field
really?
hazy rune
Unless you want to be a “professional csgo player”
weak field
you think its not worth it
weak field
dang
never thought of that
why buy a 150$ monitor when i can buy a 8k$ fridge
and then play in 240p!
weak field
yup
when my aunt moved she bought like a 219inch samsung tv
that was last year
still bothers me that people care about being inside
regal lava
Hey guys I’m a first time pc builder here, and I’m having trouble with picking my storage. Like I don’t really know the difference with an ssd and Hdd
Any help would be appreciated!
hazy rune
Ssd is a solid state drive. It has no moving parts and is significantly faster than a hdd
pearl blade
yea it's also smaller and lighter
fleet pagoda
8k 360hz 1ms monitor
hazy rune
Ssds are better for general use, hdd are better for high capacity
weak field
like games
have a ssd for your main programs and a hdd for your games that make no sense for that many gbs
like warzones 200+
regal lava
Okay, so should I only get an ssd? And how much storage is a lot? I will basically just be playing mainly older single player games. Like fallout and Witcher series and stuff.
pearl blade
1tb is plenty for most ppl
hazy rune
I have 2.5tb of ssd and no hdd
Highly recommend ssd only if you’re willing to spend the extra
weak field
have like a 50-60$ ssd for windows and youtube things you use the most and a 1tb or a 2tb hdd for games that take alot of space
yeah more expensive but greatly more expensive
or you could go with a m.2
hazy rune
You can use both, like he said. Usually that’s a good budget option
weak field
which is speeeeeeeeeed
pearl blade
money for once, can buy you time
weak field
yeah thats what i meant
a m.2 form factor ssd
my bad i forgot people cant read my mind
hazy rune
They make m.2 ssds that are the same speed as SATA
pearl blade
read your mind, people cannot
hazy rune
That’s very misleading
little leaf
They make nvme ssds with no ram
weak field
anyways @regal lava
i would go with a 40-60$ ssd to keep your windows and primary games on usually like 250-500gb and have a 40-50$ 1tb 7200rpm hdd for your higher capacity games
languid nimbus
^
weak field
yeah like 10 bucks or so
weak field
depends on what your budget is tho
cursive wharf
I'd say you'd be going used if $10 is that hard to add extra to
weak field
you ever just like stand up for no reason then sit back down
hazy rune
Also 7200rpm isn’t usually worth the extra price. And it’s louder
regal lava
So on Newegg right now they have WD black 500gb ssd for 62.99 and then a 2tb sea gate barracuda hdd 55
hazy rune
I’d stick with 5400
regal lava
Is that a good mix?
little leaf
Mp34 better
weak field
depends on what your budget is you can usually find used hdd that have been wiped for 10-15 bucks
pearl blade
would you guys use hdd from 10 years ago, not joking, genuine question
hazy rune
No. That’s asking for a failure
weak field
System Builder - PCPartPicker
pearl blade
that's a good point

Wrong link

@weak field wrong link
pearl blade
i guess i won't use my old hdds 
weak field
dang links be messing me up

If you do use old ones put them in a raid array
So you at least have a backup
Or don’t use it to store data you can’t afford to lose
weak field
teamgroup gx2 500 gb 2.5 ssd for 48.99
2tb seagate barracuda for 55

i see, i just feel like I shouldn;t waste them so at least i can give them some more life for a few years
@hazy rune thx tho

Building or prebuilt
Sure
When are u building
desert gulch
but new parts are soon
weak field
thats the same budget that im building mine for and the same time frame
desert gulch
and prices change
little leaf
I guarantee you wil change it over and over
desert gulch
so well do it when you are ready to buy
weak field
depends if your gonna use the new parts to there full potential
little leaf
And everything can change in days/weeks
weak field
if not then its not worth it and you can always upgrade
little leaf
What is it
little leaf
Not a code
weak field
discount?
polar python
should i buy a gpu off of evga bstock?
weak field
case psu and ram
small chance for a big pyout
payout
what platform are you gonna use
amd or intel
anyway
amd favors high speeds so try to get a 16gb kit with 3600 speed if not then get 3200 nothing lower tho
get a modular power supple for cable management and cleaner look
desert gulch

little leaf
Newstuff is going to keep comming out until next year
polar python
should i buy a gpu off of evga bstock?
weak field
until then watch build guides and try to get as much knowledge as you can now so you dont have to later when you get the parts, and watch benchmarks on your price point so you figure out your performance @little osprey
depends
small chance for a nice payout
little leaf
@polar python which card at what price
weak field
bstock risky
little leaf
No its not
weak field
oh i didnt know about that part

most of there stuff is out of stock to my area the only stuff they have left is a 1060 for 140

Rtx 1650, Ryzen 5 2600X and a B450 motherboard with 16GB of ram (2x8GB), what do y’all think of this kind of build for the main parts
little leaf
1650s
weak field
instead of a 2600x get a 1600af
karmic ember
RTX 2060 is half to over my whole budget for just the one component
karmic ember
Yeah
weak field
alrighty
karmic ember
I only make 15-20$ a week so can’t go over board and 2600x has the same core and thread count and better processing frequency in normal and turbo
It sucks I don’t make much bc I’d definitely go for a lot better parts
Just stuck without a real job bc of covid
Plus the 1600 is +100$ so stuck with 2600x

static sierra
completely air cooled system with a 3950x or (possibly) 5950x and 3090. Would the fractal design R7 be good enough for cooling or would I have to go to like a P500A
also trying to use a NH-d15

Am I missing something? Why is two 2x8gb so much less than one 4x8gb

@static sierra Compatibility wise seems fine, 185mm cooler height, and if the front intake is decent, that works. (For Define 7)
P500a is also a good case

@polar python which card at what price
@little leaf i was planning to get a 2080(s)
not sure for how much to
maybe less than 400$

thats almost impossible unless your going used and heavily “loved”
languid sundial
Ryzen 5 2600 or Ryzen 3 3100??
For Streaming and gaming also, Editing also
quasi snow
They're pretty similar but the extra cores on the 2600 will probably be better for editing and streaming I'd say
weak field
the 7 2700x is 15$ more expensive for 2 more cores and 4 more threads but slower on the gaming side but better performance for multithreaded things
@languid sundial ^
slim escarp
Do you think it’ll be better to build in December when I get the money or a little later like January or February
weak field
depends on sales
black friday is good for getting small things thatll add up, like storage case etc. so there out of the way and you dont have to worry about them later
maybe even try evga for a psu u can usually get them for 30-40$ on there during wednesdays
shy pendant
I’m looking to build a gaming pc, but my budget is currently about $850. I’m currently looking at a i5-10400 and a GTX 1650. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should get? I I’m looking at those two because the Z490 chipset is very upgradable, I can from the worst 10th gen to the best (and there’s a big difference there) (I’m sure you guys already know that). Can you guys DM me? I dont want to miss anyone’s answer (if any of you do answer)

@real cobalt it does come with am4 mounting, so I don't see any problems.

scarlet spear
@little osprey I saw ur build, do you recommend getting a 3900x?
cause im thinking about it soon for an upgrade
weak field
@scarlet spear why not just go with a 3700x and spend less, you still get mores cores and threads for less price just not as many as the 3900x
scarlet spear
black friday
weak field
yeah same with the gpus this year
good year to build a pc
everything is going on sale
scarlet spear
oh yeah im gonna keep my 2060 for a little longer
scarlet spear
tis not bad

dont know why people are saying it bad
scarlet spear
only runs at 75-80C with minecraft ray tracing at 80-90fps 🙂

80-90fps part is ok

it just takes me to my profile page
mortal garnet
there is an option to share your build link
stoic island
mortal garnet
dont copy it from the searchbar

mortal garnet
i would swap the case

to
mortal garnet
something with better airflow
any mesh case tbh
that build is really similar to my current build tho
weak field
pretty good?
small osprey
U got a 3070? Nice
mortal garnet
yup
small osprey
stoic island
What model
little osprey
why is your rgb ram in different spped
mortal garnet
i bought them like 1 or 2 years apart
otherwise i would of gone with the same exact kit
mortal garnet
yea, thats the plan
but im good with storage rn
if i ever fill it up or my hdd dies, then ill get a nvme
little osprey
okay good
weak field
so my build is ok?
little osprey
@weak field yeah i think.
mortal garnet
besides the airflow yea
if youre trying to save i would recommend the asus tuf x570
weak field
alr
little osprey
if you can afford having 2 degrees more at the cpu and gpu because of the case then your ok
mortal garnet
if you can get this locally, itll save you a good amount https://www.bestbuy.com/site/seasonic-focus-gm-750-750w-80-gold-psu-semi-modular-fits-all-atx-systems-fan-control-in-silent-cooling-mode-7-yr-warranty-black/6414270.p?skuId=6414270

in my opinion x570 are too overpriced. a b550 would be good because you wont utilise more than 1 gen4 ssd

@mortal garnet why such slow ram?

if i got any other 3070 card i would of re position my aio cooler

I just need a few more parts til i can build
little osprey
fresh from the box
hazy rune
Box is gorgeous
hazy rune
Hell yeah
uncut pelican
Nice I respect
hazy rune
Nah, I just love when the foam fits the shape of the product
Foam is terribly annoying to cut
uncut pelican
Yesss I wish that was how that worked for my case
Agreed
Also, I've never built a pc before, we shall see how this goes
uncut pelican
I heard it ranges in the amount of time it takes
vital warren
adult legos once you get the hang of it
mortal garnet
ive helped a few ppl build and noticed its a lot harder than i thought
like one friend breezed thru it and another struggled
my gf struggled
uncut pelican
Ive watched soo many yt vids on it
Idc if it takes forever
I am excited
Any tips tho?
hazy rune
When are you building?
weak field
yesterdya
hazy rune
What do y’all do with your old parts?
weak field
burn them
stoic island
ebay
foggy hazel
@uncut pelican re: advice: It takes the time it takes. So dont try and rush.
Read the manual(s)
Have a clean space to assemble the machine in.
stoic island
make sure to have a CLEARED SPACE for your screws :D
so you don't lose stuff and can tell where your standoff, m.2, case screws, etc are.
uncut pelican
I was going to do like bowls for each part
wild briar
Guys is this a good build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dykmgt
I am getting this at end of November
If there is anything to change let me know
foggy hazel
overpriced on some parts and underspecced on others
foggy hazel
you can do that yourself
foggy hazel
cpu cooler: just no
wild briar
Ok
foggy hazel
mainboard: b550 chipset makes sense.
wild briar
Ok my budget is 1k
foggy hazel
SSD: mp34/sn750 are things that exist
wild briar
1k
foggy hazel
yet, you have a build that is closer to 1100?
sidenote: @stoic island you remember how ive said that everytime i check, the AMP is in stock?
that is a start
wild briar
Hey @foggy hazel what do I have to add
foggy hazel
there you go
wild briar
What do I have to add
vital warren
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PW8skX another little change
foggy hazel
@vital warren guessing the fans are there for the "look"
vital warren
ayush cutting out that pack of fans and getting a case with fans preinstalled (may have to add an exhaust one) will allow much more money towards performance
little osprey
Can you guys resend me the 1000 build mb
foggy hazel
just scroll up
little osprey
Ok
foggy hazel
and scale it upwards on whichever metric you want
foggy hazel
that is your own link posted again.
little osprey
Ugh brb
There mb
is 512gb nvme space enough for your needs
My budgets 1000 so I can probably put a 1TB evo in there
foggy hazel
evo = overpriced
little osprey
@foggy hazel how much space does fresh windows 10 with updates take
foggy hazel
512 is imo plenty
little osprey
I’ll keeps the ssd and get a barracuda
foggy hazel
but 1tb is ofc more practical
little osprey
i know i just want to know how much is left when windows is installed
foggy hazel
a "lean" gaming build (steam and other clients etc etc etc) is about 100gigs
that is a "better safe than sorry" number
its a good deal less
little osprey
ah ok yeah like you said 1tb is better
foggy hazel
but variance in preferences etc
little osprey
I’ll jus get a 1TB ssd and a 2tb Barbuda if I have extra cash
sx8200 pro 1tb does have a good price performance @little osprey
Thanks
So the only thing that would need change is the storage
foggy hazel
aye, its a toss up between the following models
little osprey
@little osprey i think the rest is good
foggy hazel
mp34/sn750/sx8200 pro <- just a question of whichever one is cheapest at the time really
(for your specific use case that is)
little osprey
which brand is the mp34
desert gulch
team
foggy hazel
^
little osprey
okay thanks
desert gulch
yup
little osprey
There isn’t updated
It is*
yeah thats fine
Alr it’s my first build so I think it decent
desert gulch
epic
little osprey
I play mw and some fortnite barely and siege
What you guys think I’ll be able to run ?
Oh and I wanna get into valorint
little osprey
i think this pc will be good for 165hz 1080p gaming in fortnite
weak field
watch some benchmarks on youtube, watch a couple and see the different results
little osprey
So I see benchmarks for the cpu and gpu used together?
yes
Alr thansk
So it run pretty good in mw 159 is average fort is 187 and modern warfare in general is really demanding so that thank for the solid build guys appreciate it
desert gulch
epic
weak field
can always change it of you dont like something. the glory of pc gaming
little osprey
Brooks
weak field
yezzir?
little osprey
So it’s a good build for a newcomer
weak field
yesh
actually
no
a good build for a mewcomer would be like a 1650 super or a 1660 super and a ryzen 3 3100 or summin
thats better
by far
weak field
yeah
maybe instead of a 1tb nvme get a 250 or a 500gb and a 2tb hdd
save money
unless the speed is important then id be fine
foggy hazel
@weak field 250 is too small
weak field
not for a boot driv
foggy hazel
that is only 1-2 games on the ssd
weak field
and then have the games on a 2tb
foggy hazel
its not only the OS that benefits from the SSD
lets say you play something like Path of Exile. Its a nightmare to have that on a HDD
foggy hazel
not the speed as such
its the actual fluidity in some games
ssd's are going to get more and more important for games going forward
sharp perch
@foggy hazel hey man how’s it going long time no see 
lyric thistle
3 months
sharp perch
You really got the money to pay that @little osprey
Cause that prob needs a better psu I think
little osprey
Lol nope!
sharp perch
It wouldn’t hold it
little osprey
I wanna know how much fo you give ? 2000? 2500?
little osprey
Humor me
little osprey
You see, because the GPU itself is out of stock the companies bought a shitload of them to make a pre-built full PC and the cost of it is...horrifying.
This thing alone costs 3000
desert gulch
really?
little osprey
Yep
desert gulch
did you buy one for 3k
little osprey
Lmao
little leaf
No its not
little osprey
I searched for a 3080 domestically and internationally but I couldn't find it.
I think my $2500 is gonna be sitting in my account for a while.
stoic island
@foggy hazel that's a nice amp
foggy hazel
aye
fervent hemlock
Anyone havd a ASUS or MSI P550 M-ATX or ATX mobo. If so can you tell me how tall is the Heatsink at the top of the mobo where its closest to the cases top intake. I am in the middle of an upgrade and want to know what mobo will fit my set up. I have a Top AIO mount.
stoic island
..?
@fervent hemlock What you're asking for is more of a case spec, not a motherboard spec. Motherboard sizes in terms of the PCB is pretty standardized for ATX and mATX, so where the top of the motherboard relative to the top of the case depends on where the mounting holes on the case are.
fervent hemlock
Absolutley understand, but i have sees some cases where the Mobo heat sink taps the side of the AIO or in some cases is a mm or two too tall.
foggy hazel
that is more a case of the case being designed bum first
fervent hemlock
Heatsink i am refering to
fervent hemlock
I am running a Meshify C mini. I have a fairly large gap just wanted to be sure before i do the whole rat ratrace..
the mob i will be using ios a MATX
foggy hazel
Fractal has drawings on their page for it iirc
stoic island
They don't lean over the PCB, so you can look at your current motherboard's PCB, and see where that is compared to the top of the case.
fervent hemlock
ok!..
OK , i got plenty of space form the pcb to the top of the case and about 1.5 inches from the PCB to the side of my current AIO(top mount). My current Mobo does not have a Heatsink in that location so I don't have a frame of reference for size.
foggy hazel
your mainboard OEM should have a side shot of the mainboard in their gallery
fervent hemlock
Ok i think im ok, thank for help folks..
Im grabing the TUFP550 and a 5600x when it comes out..
upgrading from a ASUS Z170 gaming pro, intel i7-6700k
im making the leap form intel to AMD
stoic island
should be good, but remember to wait for reviewer benchmarks :)
fervent hemlock
absolutely.. i am sure day one Ytube will be flooded with em..
stoic island
@foggy hazel I mean, day 1 testing from like GN?
stoic island
ah, that's what you're referring to
foggy hazel
personally i am very much looking forward to Ian's review over at anandtech
stoic island
For now, I like GN because I'm familiar with the structure and how to digest it
stoic island
Gotcha
little osprey
Is the Zotac trinity 3080 good? Like compared to the FE or the gigabyte of?
stoic island
Not bad
safe peak
hey guys if I were to make a 1600 pc anti rgb with the best specs possible, what would it be
stoic island
@safe peak when building?
safe peak
2-3 weeks
stoic island
hmm
@safe peak you think you can snatch a 3080 or a 6800xt?
as in, which one you want me to slap in a list?
safe peak
I think 10 would be fine
stoic island
black or white
safe peak
i hope to god 🙄
