Currently at 50 mb download but my laptop for some reason does not get that much

pseudo forge
deep skiff
#

@pseudo forge you would need a european power cord or outlet adaptor if it the psu doesnt come with it

pseudo forge
#

Appreciate it brother

silent canyon
#

What gpu could i pair with a ryzen 3100 or 3300x

viral ore
#

leaves half the budget for PSU and GPU

#

those components kinda have stock and pricing issues

#

so its best to get them from evga b stock

#

imo

#

there are some good psus here for cheap

pseudo forge
#

@viral ore could you have a look at mine?

viral ore
#

is this USA?

#

or somewhere else

#

nachos said something about an EU power cord

sacred knot
#

the evga website displays prices in US dollar no?

viral ore
#

yeah it is

#

even converted they are well priced

sacred knot
#

hmm

#

now i gotta worry about conversion rates 😂

pseudo forge
#

It’s USA @viral ore

viral ore
#

you dont need to spend 1500 on the dollar

#

just buy what you need

sacred knot
#

i mean 1.5k is my budget but i was willing to drop a few $$

viral ore
#

oh, so @pseudo forge thats not a very good list

#

i will fix it soon

sacred knot
#

and i still gotta worry about the OS

viral ore
#

just run windows unactivated

#

or buy 10 dollar windows key

#

or linux

sacred knot
#

whats windows unactivated?

viral ore
#

it isnt anything

sacred knot
#

i need to be able to program and want to game as well

viral ore
#

im saying to run windows unactivated

#

not activated

sacred knot
#

ooh

viral ore
#

yeah, thats old

sacred knot
#

2019

viral ore
#

after a few reboots, windows displays the activate windows now watermark

#

you cant personalize windows until you activate it

#

other than that its fine

sacred knot
#

by personalize, you mean like changing backgrounds and stuff?

viral ore
#

yeah

#

anyway

pseudo forge
#

On that list the GPU and CPU is gonna be the new ryzen 5600x and 6800xt hopefully

viral ore
#

cheap 5700xt, apparently doesnt have the greatest themals

#

but it works

sacred knot
#

wait who is that for?

deft zephyr
#

is this card: much bigger than the Founders edition enought to make a diffrence?

#

oops meant this one

viral ore
#

u @sacred knot i probably should have mentioned u lol

sacred knot
#

haha thanks

viral ore
#

just added psu and gpu

sacred knot
#

but wait

#

is this GPU better than the other one i had?

#

the other was a bit cheaper price wise

#

and u told me this one doesnt have great thermals

viral ore
#

the difference in clock speed between 60 and 70 C is zero

#

hence why i say "it works"

#

5700xt is better than 2060

sacred knot
#

worth the extra $$ then?

viral ore
#

yes

sacred knot
#

coolcoolcool

#

thanks

viral ore
#

the card i picked is roughly the same price as the 2060 you picked

sacred knot
#

40$ diff

#

but i think itll be fine

viral ore
#

thats not much

#

thats hardly anything tbh

sacred knot
#

i just hope taxes wont f me up

pseudo forge
#

@viral ore in my part picker build the cpu and gpu are just placeholders for the new 5600x and 6800xt btw

viral ore
#

oh yeah forgot about you

#

hold on

#

are you sure you want that case?

#

it might be a bit much for you, it very beeg and heavy and glass

pseudo forge
#

Either that or the Corsair 465

#

Im a big fan of the two glass panels on the 011 tho

viral ore
#

so you want big case?

pseudo forge
#

Yeah

#

I have plenty of desk room

viral ore
#

if you got the 465X, would you want it in white or black?

pseudo forge
#

White I think

viral ore
#

are you just gaming?

#

or doing like adobe things

#

or blender things

pseudo forge
#

Gaming

#

And some work related stuff

viral ore
#

if you want you could use the fans that the aio comes with and not pay an extra 110 for case fans

pseudo forge
#

I sorta fell into the RGB aesthetic trap

#

You think the 465x is better than the o11?

viral ore
#

thats totally up to you

#

the o11 would have better thermals, but wouldnt look as good unless you bought more case fans

#

this case has enough front intake

pseudo forge
#

I’m looking to buy fans in the future if I get the 011 dynamic

#

But the 465x comes with fans and looks good too so I’m kinda torn

viral ore
#

imo the white with rgb looks kinda fresh

pseudo forge
#

Maybe one of them will go on sale during Black Friday/ cyber Monday

viral ore
#

it doesnt have to be rainbow puke, you can always just set it to purple or something

#

dont count on that

pseudo forge
#

I’m buying all my parts end of November so ill see what deals there are

#

I’ve also already got strimmer plus cables

#

Extra rgb= better performance am I right

viral ore
#

oh

pseudo forge
#

Btw how comes you took the 1tb nvme off for a 500gb @viral ore

viral ore
#

ok then

winter marsh
#

On the upside if you go all Corsair peripherals you can avoid bloatware using the ICue software only.

viral ore
#

because, do you really need a tb of ssd?

pseudo forge
#

Considering warzone is like 150+ gb

#

And the new cod is starting at 150+gb

#

Maybe

viral ore
#

i have warzone on my hdd

pseudo forge
#

Are hdd really slow on load up times?

#

Compared to a nvme

viral ore
#

hardly

#

games arent there yet

#

you can handle waiting an extra 30 seconds max

pseudo forge
#

If you don’t mind me asking how is warzone optimised on pc?

#

Do you get good FPS

viral ore
#

MW 2019 runs pretty decent

winged tinsel
#

If I have an 8 core CPU with only 16 GB of ram will it really hurt performance

pseudo forge
#

Cool I’m a bit of a pc newbie been on console forever

#

My first pc

viral ore
#

as far as being optimized goes, i would give it a B

pseudo forge
#

Is overclocking gpu and cpu scary? @viral ore

#

Like can you mess them up

viral ore
#

no its pretty easy

pseudo forge
#

Really?

winged tinsel
#

Just make sure you keep it cool

#

Other than that you are fine

winter marsh
#

A basic 1tb ssd will do fine, its x4 faster than a HD and not noticeably slower than a NVME

sacred knot
#

whats overclocking?

viral ore
#

just dont manually crank voltage and you are fine

winged tinsel
#

Making it perform better but it gets hotter

sacred knot
#

oh okok

viral ore
#

modern components protect themselves from overheating

pseudo forge
#

Do yall have specs of your PC’s?

#

Or pics

viral ore
#

you can scroll up in build-pics

#

theres a ton there

pseudo forge
#

The amount of pc videos I watch

viral ore
#

some people list specs

pseudo forge
#

It’s not healthy

#

Tryna know as much as possible

#

Console was so much easier 😂

viral ore
#

yeah, its much cheaper too

#

console and pc really arent comparable

#

they are two very different things

pseudo forge
#

I’m getting a pc because I’m gonna use it for work too

sacred knot
#

but u can also do more with a pc

viral ore
#

i do way more on my pc than game

#

and if i already have a pc, why would i pay for a console

#

i have pc

winter marsh
#

Depending on the manufacturer there are presets for your cpu/ddr speeds

pseudo forge
#

Is there much of a difference between CL16 and CL18 ram?

viral ore
#

just latency

#

CL16 better

pseudo forge
#

Is it noticeable?

winter marsh
#

Typically XMP profiles for ddr memory

viral ore
#

its just one of those things

#

your pc overall will run better

pseudo forge
#

If I get 2x8 ram sticks and I wanna upgrade to 32gb of ram will I need to buy another pair of the same ram?

viral ore
#

you probably wont notice it, but its just one more better optimized thing that adds to the usefulness and speed of your system.

#

yes

winter marsh
#

For example I run 32gb 3600mhz with a 18 latency

viral ore
#

you can get away with getting a different kit, but it might not work right

pseudo forge
#

What’s this thing about buying ram for ryzen CPU’s

#

Are there diff types

viral ore
#

ram is ram

#

it runs at different speeds

#

faster ram is more better

#

but you only need ram so fast

winter marsh
#

Ryzen spec ram is simply pre tested

pseudo forge
#

I just hope I can get a 6800xt not worried about anything else tbh

safe peak
viral ore
#

when r u buying

safe peak
#

maybe 2-3 weeks

viral ore
#

it needs some work

winter marsh
#

the Aio isn't required as the stock cooler is fine with a 3600xt

#

use the extra funds to get a larger NVME or SSD

weak field
#

also trade out the ram

safe peak
#

ok

weak field
#

theres a 16gb 3600mhz vengeance lpx for 65

#

non rgb tho

safe peak
#

will the 3600xt bottneck the 3070?

winter marsh
#

no

safe peak
#

ok good

weak field
#

if it does just a little

#

maybe lose 1-3fps

winter marsh
#

a 3600xt runs well with a 3080

weak field
#

not much at all

safe peak
#

halloween was depressing this year ngl

weak field
#

yesh

viral ore
weak field
#

in my neighborhood like 10-15 people

#

nothing at all

safe peak
#

my neighborhood was dead

winter marsh
#

oh yeah, imagine not getting the kids out of my room/aka computer room with seven pc's on the walls

weak field
#

wait

safe peak
#

@viral ore i might actually use that thank you

weak field
#

you mean that the trick or treaters went in your house or summin else

viral ore
#

yeah its way better

weak field
#

greatly actually

#

maybe a 1tb instead of the 500gb nvme m.2

viral ore
#

idk up to you

#

1tb of ssd kinda excessive tho

safe peak
#

i am probably going to go with the ryzen 5600x stock cooler

viral ore
#

my gpu actin kinda strange so i gotta restart pc

safe peak
#

i am on a 2009 mac rn B))

winter marsh
#

well it depends on how many games or apps you install, I run 1tb hd or ssd minimum, my new build is a 2tb ssd on a 8tb storage

safe peak
#

thats a lot

#

i dont really have a need for it tho

still roostBOT
#
Aido Potato#1399 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

safe peak
#

.

winter marsh
safe peak
#

shut up @still roost

#

how much ram you got?

rapid ravine
#

radeon rx570 8GB, 16gb of ram, ASUS TUF gaming B550M plus motherboards, amd ryzen 5 3600 3,6GHz

#

this ok?

winter marsh
#

32gb Team group

#

16 gb is fine

rapid ravine
#

yeah what im worried about is the graphics

#

its a radeon rx570

winter marsh
#

the vga is the bottleneck, but I'm in the same boat with a 1060 6gb

safe peak
#

will 650 wats or 750 wats be good for a 3070 and a 5600x?

winter marsh
#

ok the 3070 should pull like 300-350 watts, the 5600x pulls 105 I recall so its fine

safe peak
#

and if i get a monitor that is 27 inches, should it be curved or flat? i am mainly doing gaming

iron berry
#

5600x is 65w

winter marsh
#

my bad i thought he said 5800x

iron berry
#

5800x is 105 but you wrote 5600x

winter marsh
#

thats what I am after as my nephews to clone my rig, I was just gonna give him the 3600xt

iron berry
#

Ah

safe peak
winter marsh
#

3070 recommended is 750 watts

#

I was gonna recycle a wraith prism for the 5800x

#

hmm the EVGA card specs are lower than the Asus Tuf

#

Minimum of a 650 Watt power supply.
Two available 8-pin or 6+2pin PCIe power dongles
Total Power Draw : 220 Watts

#

The monitor is great but you can shave a bit off the cost.

#

these are my personal picks but newegg has a few to offer if you look.

stoic island
#

Hai there

#

@winter marsh I think you can shave even more off for a better monitor, take a look at the gigabyte M27q and G27q

winter marsh
#

I did but the 32 inch is calling my name but the Asus Tuf monitors theme the pc as Asus Tuf mobo, vga, and monitor

stoic island
#

Hm..?

#

I'm just saying it's worth reviewing those options

iron berry
#

Vga?

winter marsh
#

old name for a video card

stoic island
#

I'm kinda confused about the theme part

#

But alright

winter marsh
#

or the basic connection type prior to hdmi etc

iron berry
#

I was gonna say how a connection was asus tuf branded lol

winter marsh
#

well at present my keyboard, mouse, and headset are Logitech

stoic island
#

I see no... Relevance for monitor and component brand matching

#

Oh wait for yourself?

#

Thought you were talking about that list...

winter marsh
#

Kids have G Skill, Corsair, and Cougar sets, I am answering your question.

stoic island
winter marsh
#

I've already answered his

stoic island
#

I was just really confused about what you were saying on this part... Oh well, doesn't matter now

I did but the 32 inch is calling my name but the Asus Tuf monitors theme the pc as Asus Tuf mobo, vga, and monitor

winter marsh
#

My suggestion was to shop around for his specs

stoic island
#

Their GPU was MSI.

#

Not Asus

#

Oh

winter marsh
#

I'm building an Asus themed pc

stoic island
#

I'm gonna go now before I get more confused

winter marsh
#

Actually it was a Gigabyte monitor

stoic island
#

Yea I should've taken my own advice and left

#

1am is bad for brain

winter marsh
stoic island
#

@safe peak before I go, swap the SSD for NVMe, and maybe swap ram for 3600c16

winter marsh
#

No kids that play Roblox 24/7 is bad for the brain, I built their systems to play say Fortnite

#

@stoic island There are no noticeable performance gains for a NVME over a SSD

iron berry
#

Read and write speeds

stoic island
#

@winter marsh my point being, why not spend 3$ more for noticable better performance WHEN it does matter?

#

For example, say you want to move some game libraries over

#

Or offload some clips

#

That 3$ investment will be quite nice.

#

(I'm referring to the 63$ SN750 500gb atm).

winter marsh
#

Yeah I know that but in boot times, gaming apps, etc no, only if compiling mass media files maybe.

iron berry
#

Open world games

winter marsh
#

500gb isn't nearly enough, a win10 install and updates will kill 1/4th of that space.

vital warren
#

it's enough for some games

#

and whatever you want

#

it's enough

winter marsh
#

All my games are open world or sand box mmo's not fps so I've yet to see it.

stoic island
#

@winter marsh again, my point isn't to spend 3$ for no gains in boot time, my point is to spend 3$ for gains when speeds really matter :)

winter marsh
stoic island
#

Uh, you can keep sending links to boot/load time comparisons if you want

#

I'll be around

winter marsh
#

Practical application of hardware is my goal

#

I don't buy tech simply because it's there

stoic island
#

I have a habit of bringing up weird analogies, but what that logic, why would anyone ever use Raid?

iron berry
#

I have an m.2 ssd in my laptop but I still occasionally struggle loading world's in

stoic island
#

Basically "why use it just so it's there?"

#

Because there are times when it does give you benefits

#

Just not all the time.

native plover
#

just got my graphics card!!!!

winter marsh
#

I had this issue with the 1st pc I ever built, I went from ide to sata0 and it failed bigtime

stoic island
#

Sata0..?

#

Raid0..?

winter marsh
#

Congrad@native plover s

stoic island
#

Or you mean sata 6gb/s or smth?

native plover
#

im building my first pc in a week or two bc im waiting on cpu and case

#

😳

stoic island
#

Nice

#

Welp, I go now.

winter marsh
#

it wasn't close to 6gb more like x2 ide

stoic island
#

Good night

lyric thistle
#

maybe SATA port# 0?

native plover
#

my part list

winter marsh
#

it was on a Asus SLI Deluxe Amd64 mobo

lyric thistle
#

like going from the primary SATA port to the NVMe port, how that sometimes gets messed up because the BIOS doesn't understand?

#

or the changes weren't made in the BIOS

winter marsh
#

NVME has to be enabled in bios to recognized as a storage device

round arrow
winter marsh
#

initial sata drives where lets say substandard

round arrow
#

Is this a good mother board for this build ?

#

Also I plan on changing the gpu to a amd 6900 xt

winter marsh
#

Asus has some of the best support in the industry and the Strix line is reliable

round arrow
#

Would it be good with the new Ryzen™ 9 5950X Desktop Processors?

#

Or hard to say this early

winter marsh
#

Its early but reviews on the 6000 series are still good

round arrow
#

Thank you

winter marsh
#

I'm laughing because you picked my monitor of choice for the kids

round arrow
#

Oh so I already have most of the stuff

#

I’m just upgrading the MB, GPU, And cpu.

winter marsh
#

For the cpu/gpu power your are going to be using I'd think you'd go for a 2k or 4k monitor

#

okay so you are recycling parts\

round arrow
#

Yeah I have a nice 1440p 240 hz monitor in my cart

#

Essentially, i didn’t feel like I needed give everything away.

winter marsh
#

I hear ya, I recycled alot of the kids stuff to save money

#

@round arrow My best advice is to shop around for the best prices, be it Ebay, Amazon, or Newegg...

round arrow
#

Alright thanks, but other then that, that’s a solid mother board?

winter marsh
#

@native plover you okay btw?

winged tinsel
#

Alright y’all big question, what if I just get a 4K tv and use that as a monitor

#

That would work fine right?

winter marsh
#

Yes and no, it would have the resolution but maybe fail on the refresh rates

gritty zenith
#

get an 8k tv instead

winged tinsel
#

In the description of the tv it doesn’t show the refresh rate, is there a way that I can find what that is somewhere before buying it?

winter marsh
#

You do realize its just a difference in pixel count

gritty zenith
#

specs

winter marsh
#

Try googling the manufacturer

gritty zenith
#

but for whatever reason a lot of websites like to hide refresh rate spec for tvs

winter marsh
#

tech manuals, flyers, etc always on the manufacturers website

#

typically as pdf

gritty zenith
#

you might find a good enough tv if you look at the ones advertised for use with PS5 or Xbox Series X, since they are most likely to be 4k 120hz

winged tinsel
#

Wait there is a difference in pixel count between a 4K monitor and a 4K tv?

iron berry
#

You do realize its just a difference in pixel count
@winter marsh what exactly are you saying is the pixel count the refresh rate?

gritty zenith
#

Wait there is a difference in pixel count between a 4K monitor and a 4K tv?
@winged tinsel no

#

difference between 4k and 8k is what they were talkin bout

#

there is a difference between consumer 4k and professional 4k tho lol

winter marsh
#

@iron berry no, 1080p 1440p etc are just pixel counts, refresh rates and response times are another spec entirely

gritty zenith
#

if you do settle on a monitor, and look for a 4k monitor with high refresh make sure the response time is also 1ms

winter marsh
#

I do own a home theater system you know, for years, upgraded with new and old components

gritty zenith
#

noice

iron berry
#

Okay just making sure

#

Just got confused since it was made after the refresh rate message

winter marsh
#

Its a nightmare to own a working laser disc player and super vhs knowing you can never buy the media

gritty zenith
#

I love how this is a conversation for #old-monitors-and-tv but asking a question in any other channel than this one is a guarantee at getting ignored

winter marsh
#

Its cool @gritty zenith

gritty zenith
#

i mean i personally always go here to ask questions because if i go to the respective channels i never get answered so

#

yeah

#

i feel like the most reliable people tend to hang out here, considering most like to help people out with their builds

winged tinsel
#

So it says the response time is 15.1 ms

#

Is that good?

gritty zenith
#

well its a TV so

#

expected

iron berry
#

Monitors are parts of builds so this is vague enough for it to count

gritty zenith
#

not good for gaming but if you dont have a tv and need a tv and want to also use it as a monitor for your pc i guess?

winged tinsel
#

Nah I’m gonna get a monitor after hearing 15 ms lol

winter marsh
#

I'm just a burly old fart with a 2x4, that happens to love building pc and pc gaming

winged tinsel
#

Can you guys critique my parts list rq?

gritty zenith
#

sure

winter marsh
#

Newegg system builder has never worked as intended lol

gritty zenith
#

looks decent, id consider changing the psu, also if you are gonna wait for 6800 that means that ryzen 5 5600x will be released by then, that will probably be far better than R7 3700x

winter marsh
#

Okay the only thing I'm gonna poke at is the psu, guys here rattle my cage over no name brand gold psu

winged tinsel
#

I’m already over my budget though...

winter marsh
#

a bronze on a new video card might be asking a bit much

gritty zenith
#

try to cop the R5 5600x it will be $299 on release

#

there are good psu that can handle your build for cheaper

winged tinsel
#

Really?

gritty zenith
#

yeah hold up

#

wait

#

look at pins in this channel first

#

there is a psu tier list

winter marsh
#

The 2nd issue is I noticed you are building on a mATX form factor

winged tinsel
#

Does Micro tax affect performance?

#

*atx

winter marsh
#

Now this same issue killed my Msi RTX 3080 purchase on launch day, how long is this video card and how long does your case allow?

gritty zenith
#

wait wait

#

matx shouldn't kill the radeon 6000

#

amd purposely kept it standard lol

winter marsh
#

case stats are Maximum Video Card Length
344 mm / 13.543"

#

which is 44mm over my case 😦

gritty zenith
#

the case in their list supposedly supports an rtx 3080

#

so should be good for 6800

winter marsh
#

well two and three fan cards aren't made the same

foggy hazel
#

@gritty zenith matx is not a problem.

gritty zenith
#

yeah, but the 6800 is a far smaller card

winter marsh
#

just get the gpu length before you purchase it

gritty zenith
#

i never said it was

#

lol

foggy hazel
#

@gritty zenith i am confirming the previous statement :) not saying you are wrong :)

winter marsh
#

I'm personally stuck with 300mm cards

gritty zenith
#

lucky you

#

im stuck with cards less than 170mm

foggy hazel
#

we know @winter marsh, you bring it up everytime you talk about GPU's

coral kiln
#

if i get an r5 5600x it wouldnt work on a tomahawk b450 motherboard right?

winter marsh
#

less if i add a front mounted radiator

gritty zenith
#

yes

#

next year

#

msi confirmed they will be updating all 400 series for support

#

but next year

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln we wont know IF they plan to support it until at the earliest january 2021

gritty zenith
#

so patience child

coral kiln
#

ok

#

thx

winter marsh
#

@coral kiln just make sure you get the bios update

coral kiln
#

no need to select a new one

#

@coral kiln just make sure you get the bios update
ye i still didnt buy it yet

stoic island
#

Wait, if you haven't bought the board, a B550 board might be a better purchase.

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln if you are building a new system now, there is no reason to buy a b450 chipset board, just go with a b550

coral kiln
#

illl see if it fits in budget

#

wait ill send my buld atm

stoic island
#

For US market, a B550m pro4 at 105$ is quite a nice board.

gritty zenith
#

Wait, if you haven't bought the board, a B550 board might be a better purchase.
@stoic island i would lean more towards is rather than might lol

stoic island
#

@gritty zenith dunno, gotta be safe in case of random weird context :p

winter marsh
#

As I've stated before just shop around for the best price

gritty zenith
#

you're ripping yourself off if you are buying anything lower than a b550 atm

stoic island
#

Maybe they're in North Korea and B450 max is the only board around or something

#

Who knows

gritty zenith
#

o true

#

availability is the irl bottleneck

stoic island
#

Need more context to be confident

gritty zenith
#

lol yeah

winter marsh
#

brb

coral kiln
#

gonna replace the processor with an r5 5600x

stoic island
#

SR... Saudi reals?

coral kiln
#

and gpu with a 3070 probably

stoic island
#

However you spell it

#

Mobile is hard

coral kiln
#

SR... Saudi reals?
yep

#

indeed

Newegg ships to saudi directly?

coral kiln
#

yes

stoic island
#

Oh nice, didn't know that.

gritty zenith
#

@winged tinsel my suggestion is either getting rid of the HDD in the list or going down to 16gb of 3600 cl16 to accommodate an 80+ gold psu

coral kiln
#

but the case and psu are not free shipping

#

which annoys me

#

thats like 100USD on shipping

#

100 USD taxes

stoic island
gritty zenith
#

i ordered a computer desk and was mad that it didn't have free prime shipping

winged tinsel
#

I went to 16 gb and got an atx motherboard and working on a better psu

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln the following is based on feedback from other users in the same region: Please do yourself a favour and look into what happens IF something does not work

gritty zenith
#

good

#

lol

stoic island
#

That's true, RMA process for "global" consumers get really weird.

foggy hazel
#

not only that

stoic island
#

And also, I'd personally get a different PSU and Case.

foggy hazel
#

just DOA

coral kiln
#

k i replaced with a 550 as its cheaper lol

foggy hazel
#

ram is also flat out bad for that platform

gritty zenith
#

its funny bc mitx is the most expensive across the board, then matx is like more expensive budget boards, but cheaper feature boards, and then atx is cheaper budget boards but more expensive feature boards at least from what i've seen

stoic island
#

Yea, RMA process for handling DoA, or is there something else with DoA?

foggy hazel
#

thinking of DOA in the sense of "here is your part, its crushed"

gritty zenith
#

lmao

foggy hazel
#

that kind of DoA

coral kiln
#

that would suck

stoic island
#

Ah

foggy hazel
#

it would suck even more IF you had to pay return shipping on it @coral kiln

gritty zenith
#

i was thinking of getting an msi gpu support bracket for when i ship the PC im gonna sell, bc its only like $30 and offers extra protection, but im not sure

winged tinsel
#

@gritty zenith Hey can you help me find a better psu that isn’t too expensive?

stoic island
#

I'm gonna continue on the "part selection" part while Naed continues with the specifics

foggy hazel
#

so, as i said, do yourself the favour and Please look into what the rules are on that

stoic island
#

@winged tinsel what exactly are you looking for?

winged tinsel
#

80 plus gold psu

gritty zenith
#

what's your budget for your psu?

winged tinsel
#

That isn’t too expensive

#

Umm

#

Lemme see

stoic island
#

650w Phanteks amp comes to mind.

foggy hazel
#

@winged tinsel keep in mind, you are skimping on the part that drives everything.... do you think that is smart?

gritty zenith
#

yeah first and foremost you need at least 650w

winged tinsel
#

My gpu is a 6800

gritty zenith
#

never skimp on psu

#

that's what i was always taught

coral kiln
#

Z

so, as i said, do yourself the favour and Please look into what the rules are on that
where would i find the rules on that?

gritty zenith
#

lol

stoic island
#

@winged tinsel check out the 650w and 750w Phanteks amp.

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln have a serious chat with @fresh garden

coral kiln
#

oh ok

foggy hazel
#

they are the ones that can actually answer things like that :)

coral kiln
#

thx

#

also that case is way better

foggy hazel
#

you are very welcome :)

stoic island
#

I'll go grab ram and psu suggestions now

coral kiln
#

ok ty

gritty zenith
coral kiln
#

i think that prices should go lower next year on may-august right?

gritty zenith
#

oop hello

#

wait prices for what?

coral kiln
#

parts

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln no? why would they specifically be lower at that point?

coral kiln
#

beacuse the new parts would have released and stock for them is in great availability?

gritty zenith
#

uh pc parts from my understanding dont get their prices cut not for the time of year it is or even if there is something way better released

coral kiln
#

uh pc parts from my understanding dont get their prices cut not for the time of year it is or even if there is something way better released
i mean at stock availability

gritty zenith
#

oh

#

no

#

pc parts will just cost their actual price

winter marsh
#

Okay back and reading

gritty zenith
#

and not 3x the mark up from ebay relisting

#

so instead of buying an rtx 3080 for $1500 you'd be able to buy one for its actual $700 price

coral kiln
#

ok so technically the 3070 price is going to stay the same once stock is available

winter marsh
#

only resellers mark up video cards prices

gritty zenith
#

its not "cheaper" its just the right price

coral kiln
#

say i want to go for amd on gpu

#

but same or lower price

#

of the 3070x

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln none of that would make them go down in price

coral kiln
#

3070*

foggy hazel
#

@winter marsh that is flat out wrong.

#

any site will adjust their prices as the market allows

winter marsh
#

I know you love scalpers @foggy hazel

gritty zenith
#

not just scalpers though, naed is right

foggy hazel
#

@winter marsh there is "how the market works" and then there is what you are talking about.

coral kiln
#

rip

stoic island
#

Hm

gritty zenith
#

i've seen pc part prices blown far out of proportion in actual websites due to availability and demand

stoic island
#

Did I not link the 550w version?

gritty zenith
#

i've seen the R5 2600 go for like $300 before

coral kiln
#

thats the link i clicked

#

but took me to here

stoic island
#

Oh boy that's fun

winter marsh
#

I'd never buy a video card from Amazon or Ebay due to the jacked up prices

stoic island
#

I'll give you some more suggestions to work off of then

coral kiln
#

taxes suck

#

100 USD of my budget or more is going toward taxes and customs

gritty zenith
#

I'd never buy a video card from Amazon or Ebay due to the jacked up prices
@winter marsh I bought a mini rtx 2060 for $300 off ebay brand new from newegg when everywhere else it was $400

#

you just gotta look

winter marsh
#

100 USD in shipping fees?

coral kiln
#

not including customs

gritty zenith
#

oof

coral kiln
#

customs is like 25-50 USD more

gritty zenith
#

tell the price to stop being so high

#

😤

coral kiln
#

k imma go back to my biology session

#

be back later

winter marsh
#

As have I but it depends on the component and retailer

gritty zenith
#

yeah, but its not like ebay and amazon are always rip offs

stoic island
gritty zenith
#

its okay to buy off those sites

#

it'll prob be the same thing

coral kiln
#

ye one sec ill see what it gives

gritty zenith
#

bc shipping from newegg

coral kiln
foggy hazel
#

@winter marsh you are missing that it is shipping to the middle east.

hmm i shouldve remmeberd no bad words

gritty zenith

lmao

coral kiln

remembered*

gritty zenith

because those are actual scalpers selling an out of stock card

#

i thought we were talking about stuff that is actually available

#

smh

stoic island

Eek that seems like a high price

coral kiln
#

very high

#

basically my budget is 1000 USD

waxen obsidian

Wassap

gritty zenith
#

lmao don't matter though, the price is right, rtx 3080 performs the same as rtx 3090 anyway NYEHE

stoic island
#

Yea I'm confused on pricing a bit

#

@coral kiln try a Corsair CX 550w

waxen obsidian
#

Idek

coral kiln
#

ill see one sec

winter marsh
#

From what I understand the Middle East has cases and components not sold anywhere else. Now what was that sketchy retailers name again?

waxen obsidian
#

I can’t wait to see RX 5800s

stoic island
#

Reason being the 450w only comes with a single pcie 8 pin power cable, limiting upgradability a lot.

waxen obsidian
#

6800s

#

My bad

From what I understand the Middle East has cases and components not sold anywhere else. Now what was that sketchy retailers name again?
AliExpress?

That was one of them but I believe there is another.

coral kiln

aaaaaaaaa

k wait

i cant change my nick

Unless you mean middle of the east as in China >:p

#

Unless you mean middle of the east as in China >:p
nope lol

stoic island

(AliExpress is Chinese)

coral kiln

That was one of them but I believe there is another.
we have many sketchy online shops

namshi

winter marsh
#

No I order from China, takes forever to arrive

coral kiln
stoic island
#

Welp, those might have some fun stuff

coral kiln
#

are there any free shipping cases and psu?

stoic island
#

You'll be able to change your nickname once you're a regular btw

coral kiln
#

rn a 100USD is on shipping

stoic island
#

We can't see the free shipping for your location from our end

coral kiln
#

right

#

hmm

stoic island
#

So we can only pass suggestions onwards for you to look at

foggy hazel
#

@coral kiln whats the shipping like from Germany for you?

coral kiln
#

i think expensive as well

winter marsh
#

@coral kiln Razorback isn't a 40k Spacemarine reference is it?

coral kiln
#

give me and example icon

#

@coral kiln Razorback isn't a 40k Spacemarine reference is it?
i got the name from warframe

#

not that

winter marsh
#

Ah okay only the kids have played that one.

#

I was playing Hawken before it died..

uneven mist
#

im looking for parts for my new pc im going a b550 route. Should i be going for a b550 aorus elite or a b550 aorus pro (ATX)

coral kiln
#

i played hawken for a bit

winter marsh
#

Its alive on console but dead on pc

uneven mist
#

rip anyone gonna answer?

winter marsh
#

@uneven mist do you have a build list or need suggestions?

uneven mist
#

5 3600x, 16gb 3600Mhz, 1660 Super (I have right now Im hoping to get my hands on a rtx 3070 tho) and idk b550 aorus pro or b550 aorus elite

#

thats barebones of it

#

ill have atleast 1 nvme ssd and

winter marsh
#

okay first thing you'll need is a good psu to power it

uneven mist
#

oh yeah i was thinking like a 650 or 700?

#

or is that to much or to less

vital warren
#

650 is good

uneven mist
#

im just stuck on the motherboard

#

aorus elite or aorus pro

#

the pro could be better because it has room for another nvme ssd

#

and the reason im going b550 is because i want room for improvement like if i ever wanna upgrade

winter marsh
#

thats a good ballpark but avoid the bronze psu and make sure its at least a 8 pin cpu and two 6+2 or 8 pin video card connectors for the new gpu

vital warren
#

grab a phanteks amp 650w 80+ gold

#

usually $100-105

#

from what ive seen

winter marsh
#

I have a no name brand gold modular psu these guys love to harp on

uneven mist
#

whats ur guys opinion b550 aorus pro or elite?

#

oh and whats a good aio for the 3600x

#

on the cheaper side for the aio

winter marsh
#

Okay unless you are overclocking you don't need a aio

uneven mist
#

i will be oc it

vital warren
#

arctic liquid freezer ii

uneven mist
#

240s is good right?

vital warren
#

depends on case size

#

link your case

winter marsh
#

unless top mounted a aio will reduce your gpu space in the case

uneven mist
#

or

vital warren
#

oh you can’t send links

uneven mist
#

oh

vital warren
#

just say the model

#

i’ll take a look

uneven mist
#

Phanteks P500A DRGB / Phanteks P500A Non-RGB

#

i believe the drgb comes with more fans so will probs get that

#

A 360 would fit but idk

vital warren
#

the drgb fits a 360mm aio

uneven mist
#

im tryna keep the cost lower so where i can save i will

vital warren
#

the 360mm arctic liquid freezer is like $120 usually

winter marsh
#

435mm

uneven mist
#

is the 360 necessary?

vital warren
#

i mean

#

you’ll be fine with 240

#

it’s obviously an increase from 240

uneven mist
#

im new to oc so i wont be pushing it hard at all

winter marsh
#

Its a nice looking case

uneven mist
#

it is indeed

#

and it also has really good airflow

vital warren
#

a 240mm aio where you can fit a 360mm just looks odd to me

uneven mist
#

tru that

vital warren
#

how much is that case? guessing $100

uneven mist
#

the extra bit on the aio is kinda triggering me xd

#

idk its on the more expensive side but i think it will be worth

winter marsh
#

thats because the 360 is stacking deeper in the case if front mounted

uneven mist
#

i know this sounds weird but this is all so much more expensive because im australian xd i know it doesnt make sense for me to be on a newegg server but anyways

winter marsh
#

info is info

uneven mist
#

and whats a decent 1tb nvme ssd

#

and a decent 2tb hdd

winter marsh
#

@vital warren where are you?

uneven mist
#

actually should i get like a 128gb nvme for windows, a 512gb for games and like 2tb hdd for bulk?

#

or just get a 1tb and partition it

winter marsh
#

Well I don't know your regional markup for prices, but I do know from my 40k hobby it gets expensive

uneven mist
#

40k hobby lmao

winter marsh
#

Warhammer 40k

uneven mist
#

what 1tb nvme ssd do i get

coral kiln
#

i just need free shipping on case and powersupply

winter marsh
#

I don't know why people buy NVME over SSD anyway.

uneven mist
#

hgih speeds

coral kiln
#

but none of the ones i like/need are free shipping

sullen spoke
#

Popular nvme rn: mp34, sn750, sx8200 pro

winter marsh
#

in operation that isn't even noticeable

sullen spoke
#

Nvme is very nice for boot drive

coral kiln
#

aaand i accidentally removed my ssd from the cart

#

time to find it again

winter marsh
#

Its just new tech that's dropped in price

#

google hdd vs ssd vs nvme and you'll see what I mean

#

youtube and it will be as clear as day

sullen spoke
#

Not all are equal, there are many different specs in a drive

winter marsh
#

anyway brb trying to stay awake 😛

uneven mist
#

what type of specs you have @winter marsh

sullen spoke
#

For most games a hdd does fine but you want at least ssd for boot

coral kiln
#

well you could store games on an hdd

#

and when u want to play

#

move the game you currently play over to ssd

#

when you finish the game /get bored of it

#

move it back

#

thats what i plan to do

uneven mist
winter marsh
#

oh I have a Asus x570 plus gaming wifi, 3600xt, Team Group 32gb"4x8" ddr4 3600mhz, 850watt psu, 2tb ssd, 8tb hhd

sullen spoke
#

That would be a pain, most people would not trouble themselves to do that. Easier just to keep it on the hdd

#

All os and apps go to ssd

winter marsh
#

for vid i am stuck on my gtx 1060 6gb

uneven mist
winter marsh
#

@sullen spoke only my media and files go to the hhd

uneven mist
#

can someone tell me if thats good?

#

for my future pc

winter marsh
#

I've always maintained a storage drive

#

@uneven mist looks great

uneven mist
#

anything i should change?

winter marsh
#

but now I am gonna tell you what everyone will tell you, wait for the 5600x release, either the 3600x prices will drop or buy the 5600x instead

uneven mist
#

yeah that was my plan anywys

#

im not buying this today lol

sullen spoke
#

If a 3600 is cheaper by a bit you can go with that as the 3600x does not have a major boost really, I’m not sure about that cooler, might opt for a air, or if you really want to cut cost just use stock as it is adequate, don’t know much about the psu but you can check that in the tier list pinned

#

That 1660 super also look very expensive, but if you it buying that than fine

uneven mist
#

psu i just looked for on that was gold and 650+ and the cooler someone else recomended i was looking at a 240 cooler master one personally but idk

winter marsh
#

I was thinking about dropping the nvme for ssd to save money

uneven mist
#

and i own the 1660 super already

#

yeah i could get a worse one

winter marsh
sullen spoke
#

I would stick with nvme, you can go with sn750 or mp34 as cheaper options but ssds are not too expensive nowadays

uneven mist
#

im hoping i get a rtx 3070 and then i can sell my 1660 super which will be able to fund for some of my build

sullen spoke
#

And there are many other factors to a psu than wattage and 80+ rating hence why there is a tier list easy for people to read

uneven mist
#

xd

#

in future ill probs by sleeved cables because stock look so bad

#

but for now im focusing on performance before looks

winter marsh
#

okay brb and watch that video

uneven mist
#

@winter marsh one problem witrh the video the guy h as a Gigabyte Z370p D3 as his motherboard if i buy a b550, it has gen 4 which means it can use a ssds full capability

sullen spoke
#

If you get a pcie 4.0 nvme drive

uneven mist
#

tru

#

but still a z370 surely is restriciting that nvme

sullen spoke
#

Looks fine to me

uneven mist
#

idk i could always just get a ssd

uneven mist
#

but does it save that much?

#

@coral kiln its bronze try and get gold

coral kiln
#

expense

sullen spoke
#

Something I would more consider limiting is using a pcie 4.0 on a 3.0 mobo or using a sata m.2 drive

coral kiln
#

too expense

uneven mist
#

nobadwords whats the sepcs

#

of the pc

coral kiln
#

here:

winter marsh
#

@sullen spoke Actually that's not true, if I remember correctly you can only use a limited number of pci gen4 devices, which means you can create a conflict between your video card and nvme.

uneven mist
#

your better of gettign a gold with them specs

coral kiln
#

the processor going to become a r5 5600x

uneven mist
#

yes then definetly a gold cert

coral kiln
#

this is just a place holder

#

and might get a 3070

#

not sure

sullen spoke
#

Depends on board

winter marsh
#

You are better off using a gen 3 nvme and leaving gen 4 clear for your video card

coral kiln
#

or a gpu from the new 6000 series

uneven mist
#

alright im just gonna leave my pc how it is

sullen spoke
#

I haven’t heard that before but I’ve not looked at the new boards much, anyway not many people really need the pcie 4.0 speeds

winter marsh
#

But that issue may have been addressed by now...

uneven mist
#

yeah the only reeason u would need like 4.0 speeds is like for video editing

#

even then not that nescessary

coral kiln
#

eh im conviced ill go find some other psu

#

a couple bucks wont break me

winter marsh
#

I think it came up in tech channels regarding gen 4 devices

sullen spoke
#

Honestly gpus are still fine on 3.0, even the newer ones seem to be fine, but it’s something to keep an eye on in the future

uneven mist
#

^^

winter marsh
#

as for the gold spec psu, if its the same tech as my old r/c hobbies esc.

uneven mist
#

can u explain what u mean by 40k warhammer is ur hobbie like what exactly is that?

winter marsh
#

that means the psu modulates power on mosfets to produce stable power

#

Oh 40K is a futuristic table top war game big all over the world that's spawned alot of pc games as well

uneven mist
#

ok

winter marsh
#

pc games started with the Dawn of War series I, II, and III which flopped

#

its is as expense to get in to as buying a high end pc

#

I'm busy collecting the Nuns with Guns, plus four more marine chapters.

@uneven mist be sure to check Cooler Masters ARGB compatibility with the mobo.

uneven mist

wait so check that the rgb will work with my mobo?

winter marsh

@coral kiln Raidmax Vortex Series?

coral kiln
#

all out of stock as well

#

here is the site im going to buy the PSU from

#

(all other parts are very expensive on here)

winter marsh
#

@uneven mist Yes, Cooler Masters is aftermarket and not all ARGB is made the same. Worse case you'll require a controller.

uneven mist
#

oof ok

winter marsh
#

I have a CM cpu cooler in a Zalman s4 plus case. Zalman's controller doesn't support CM so the fan is blue and unrecognized by Zalman's rgb bloatware.

#

On my Asus x570 I have a AMD Wraith Prism plugged into the ARGB and it works fine.

#

@coral kiln I see, I'll search it based on your budget..

coral kiln
#

ok thanks

#

budget is like 400 SAR for PSU
gold
500 watt or more
best price 300 or lower

@winter marsh im having some trouble tryna work out some pricing for ram rn

the ram i want theres to sets but different timings

coral kiln

OH the 2nd one hits the right spots

uneven mist

whatys the difference between 18-22-22-42 and 18-19-19-39

#

@winter marsh

coral kiln
#

nice the supply and case are same manufacturers lol

uneven mist
#

nice

winter marsh

its the ram timings, there is a definition for it but I've been off campus a few years

coral kiln

i hope it has free shipping

winter marsh

brb

coral kiln
#

aaaand nvm

winter marsh
#

Lol

uneven mist
#

Im having big amounts of trouble

#

my brain is confuseld

#

Basically i want Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16gb 3600MHz

#

BUTTT

still roostBOT
#
quak#0020 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

winter marsh
#

Okay back

uneven mist
#

idk if that ram is compatible with a b550

#

bec it says x570 not b550\

#

and no one on anyforums has said so

winter marsh
#

normally ddr manufacturers will declare compatibility on the product in it's description

uneven mist
#

yeah it doesnt say anything about b550s so rip

#

i cant find any ram with b550 thats 3600mhz amd compatible

#

nvm pcpartpicker to the rescure

#

its compatible

winter marsh
#

but anything ryzen compatible is just that, doesn't matter what chipset it is however, older chipsets say b350 a limited in their mhz speed capacitity

#

so go back to your mobo specs to see what it supports

uneven mist
#

yeah i did and it supports it

winter marsh
#

then you have no issues

uneven mist
#

:few:

#

was sweating for a second there lol

winter marsh
#

The only difference between x570 and b550 is a few features, b550 is meant to be more affordable

uneven mist
#

fr

#

i thought b550 was better tbh with u

winter marsh
#

x570 will typically include more vrm's for over clocking

uneven mist
#

ah ok

#

whats base clock of r5 3600x again?

#

im wondering what i should oc it to

winter marsh
#

its the same difference in video cards, say a founders edition versus a Super or TI

uneven mist
#

super has more power draw doesnt it?

#

and ti has less

winter marsh
#

it's like 3.5 with a self oc of 4.0

#

TI cards are next to Nvidia Titans

#

Supers are just below a TI

uneven mist
#

ok

#

i know thta u never/barely ever put a super in a laptop bc it has way to much power draw compared to a ti

winter marsh
#

well labtops have their own scaled cpu and gpu's that aren't completely atx cards

uneven mist
#

should i get 650 or just get 700

winter marsh
#

okay the 3600-5600x all draw 65 watts tdp

nvm im just gonna get 650w

#

the ports on that are all correct right?

winter marsh
#

a rtx 3070 requires a 600 to 750 psu but is said to draw 265 watts, thhis wattage will increase with the gpu load

uneven mist
#

thats if i get a 3070 i entered a giveaway for one if i dont get it im sticking with my 1660 super for a while

winter marsh
#

most popular gpu software is Msi Afterburner, but I prefere Gpu Tweak2

uneven mist
#

i use afterburner

#

but my gpu isnt oc rn

#

idk any good clocks

winter marsh
#

clock speeds are listed in the card specs

uneven mist
#

ik idk what to oc my card to tho

winter marsh
#

typically 1500mhz or more standard, 1700mhz gaming

#

card partners like Asus, Msi, Gigbyte set their own standards

im looking to locally host a minecraft server, i was going to go with a simple pc with like a Ryzen 5 2600 and rx 570, is there something that would be better for the price (around 600-700)

native plover
#

I have a parts list around 700

#

its about $730

#

I'm building this

#

@little osprey

arctic jungle
#

@little osprey no

#

bad

#

very bad

#

minecraft server? i'll throw together a build

#

what's the budget

#

that's a very bad parts list for the price range for a minecraft server

native plover
#

🤷‍♂️

little osprey
#

oh the budget is around 600-700 usd

arctic jungle
#

oh

#

hrmmm

#

@little osprey 600-700 including the purchased parts you listed?

little osprey
#

no, i was just going to go with that unless there was a better pc for the price

west hollow
#

i5 9400f or a ryzen 5 3600 for gaming which is better?

little osprey
#

the 3600 clocks higher, but costs more

#

id compare the 9600k and the 3600

arctic jungle
#

bruh

#

both wrong

#

one sec

west hollow
#

non technical terms because i’m a noob at pcs

arctic jungle
#

almost done with build

little osprey
#

oke

arctic jungle
#

u can edit storage a bit @little osprey

#

make sure to allocate a full 28 gb of ram when u run the server

#

alright I gtg homework

little osprey
#

oh thanks

arctic jungle
#

yea np

#

32 gb is essential to a mc server

#

@little osprey usually you want to dedicate about 1 gb per user if it's vanilla, then maybe 3-4 gb for any plugins and mods you might wanna run... you won't be able to host a large modpack on this server

I mean if it's nothing serious tho

But eh
