how is it only 3500 dollars?

versed rock
#

Everyone in the world should like saving money where they can so they can retire without worrying about money.

snow arrow
#

if i get a b550 will i need a BIOS update for the new amd cpu's

versed rock
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

No.

#

You won't.

vague maple

if i get a b550 will i need a BIOS update for the new amd cpu's
@snow arrow no

@versed rock you ever think about the fact that maybe some people can make enough money to spend luxuriously and not have to worry about retirement?

#

smh?

#

you're quite close-minded tbh

plush mist
#

thats the ideal thing to do, keep on saving, only spend money on the necessities

#

and try to save money whenever possible

vague maple
#

thats ideal for you

#

not for everyone

plush mist
#

but that doesnt mean to be like stingy

thorny tusk
#

The value of how much money worth depends on how much you make

vague maple
#

yeah its good to not randomly waste money

#

but its also good to spend on your hobbies, because that helps you relieve stress and live a happy life, which people dont take seriously

#

hi mr111

plush mist
#

yeah its good to not randomly waste money
@vague maple this is how ppl are in massive debt, unless ur a student

vague maple
#

that and business schemes

#

and some people getting cheated

stoic island
#

There's also a point of "It's their money to be spent in the end'

plush mist
#

eh, just dont get urself mixed with the wrong ppl

vague maple
#

mhmm

plush mist
#

trrruee

#

but

#

just smt to think about

vague maple
#

mhmm

#

personally

#

i would like to spend as much money as i want on my hobbies while im working

#

i dont want to have to worry about saving up for something that's gonna happen like 50 years in the future

little osprey
#

If someone wants to save money then you help them do so and if they don't care about money then just go on your way

vague maple
#

as long as you're decently smart about your purchases, the money adds up over time, which helps a lot

hearty obsidian
#

a good investment is if your hobbies make you money

vague maple
#

mhmm

#

a good investment is if your hobby is your job lmao

gaunt vortex
#

^

hearty obsidian
#

yeah thought that too xD

gaunt vortex
#

It helps if it pays well too. Software dev ftw

vague maple
#

nice man

gaunt vortex
#

I get to use my computers as a writeoff. It's fun.

vague maple
#

what's a writeoff again?

#

its like they remove the money you spent from your paycheck or something?

gaunt vortex
#

You can deduct that amount from the taxes you owe, more or less

vague maple
#

oh my god

gaunt vortex
#

Well, not exactly that

vague maple
#

oh ok

#

that sounds op lmao

hearty obsidian
#

im guessing the company reimburses you

gaunt vortex
#

"Tax deduction is a reduction of income that is able to be taxed and is commonly a result of expense"

vague maple
#

that makes no sense but ok

gaunt vortex
#

So you don't pay income tax on that amount of money

vague maple
#

ok

#

so

#

if you spend 10k on a pc, and the income tax is 1k, you dont have to pay that 1k if its a writeoff?

#

it's that what you're saying?

gaunt vortex
#

yes?

vague maple
#

ok

#

damn

little osprey
#

aye this is build chat

vague maple
#

how do you make a item a writeoff?

#

or is it too complicated

#

oh crap sorry mxmo lmao

#

pan

#

lets move to general

still bay
#

im back :(

#

got banned

vague maple
#

mhmm

still bay
#

so

#

prob not those fans

#

and idk if i like the mobo im worried its gonna look silver and not white

vague maple
#

that's more normalized

#

and dw the b550 strix mobo is white

#

i would still say that the 970 evo plus is overpriced

#

but to each their own i guess

still bay
#

i wouldnt disagree

weak field
#

what would a normal 1000$ budget look like

vague maple
#

1000 us dollars

#

lmao

#

do you want me to make you a build list?

still bay
#

maybe like that

#

oh thats a bit over budget

#

alos get a 3070

uncut pelican
#

@still bay hey uhh thats some pricey ram

plucky needle
#

Ye get a 3070, cheaper ram, cheaper psu, 256gbnvme and 1tb hdd, and u gucci

languid hawk
#

you also don't need a B550 board for that CPU

#

get a B450 board

still bay
#

true

vague maple
#

for a 1000 dollar budget, you can stick with a b550

still bay
#

looks good tho

plucky needle
#

True, but b550 and b450 is almost equal in pricing for midrange, and b550 has pcie 4.0 which will future proof for next gen gpus

still bay
#

for a 1000 dollar budget, you can stick with a b550
@vague maple upgrades people, upgrades

plucky needle
#

By next gen i mean rtx 4000/rx 7000

vague maple
#

let me make a build smh

languid hawk
#

maybe power supply is modular really needed for a $1000 build

still bay
#

maybe semi mod

languid hawk
#

yeah that seems more reasonable cause modular PSU's are expensive

stoic island
#

What

flat pendant
#

can anyone help me figure out how to sync my time correctly...Like I just built my pc and my time is all whack..I tried syncing it in the settings but the sync was incorrect as well. As of right now I manually set the time but everything else like Discord and google still has the time all whack....

sharp pelican
#

Happened to me, try redoing your timezone

stoic island
#

Modular or non modular is no indication of PSU quality

#

Yea check settings for timezone and region in windows

sharp pelican
#

Old but good life

flat pendant
#

bruh i feel dumb..

#

thanks guys lmao

sharp pelican
#

No problem

vague maple
#

1000 build with a rtx 3070

#

i had to cut some pretty heavy corners, it was difficult

#

but there's nothing too bad about this build

#

all of its parts get the job done

stoic island
#

ehm

vague maple
#

si?

stoic island
#

I'm gonna try to make some quick edits at least

vague maple
#

ok

#

the motherboard supports 3600

#

the cpu

#

not the ram

proud basalt
#

yo @stoic island

#

remember me from yesterday

vague maple
#

and @stoic island you cant change the gpu and the cpu in order for it to be fair ok?

proud basalt
#

u were helping me fix display on pc

#

i reset the cmos like u said but it still wouldnt work

#

and the vga and boot qLED are still lit

stoic island
#

fun

#

@proud basalt try putting storage devices in different slots

#

and @ naed if he could help

vague maple
#

but

stoic island
#

I gotta go

proud basalt
#

u mean the ssd?

vague maple
#

it's more expensive than mine

stoic island
#

yours is 1030 and mine is 1020 on my end

vague maple
#

oh

proud basalt
#

will do tho thanks for the help

stoic island
#

weird

vague maple
#

thought mine was 1015

stoic island
#

I gotta go

#

edits still worth

vague maple
#

ok you gtg

#

i was gonna talk about the edits but nvm

stoic island
molten rose
#

Should I upgrade my Ryzen 5 2400G?

vague maple
#

if you have the money, yes

lofty mica
sharp pelican
#

To what?

molten rose
#

I am waiting to see what the new Ryzen 5000 series has to offer, then I will make a decision

#

but if Ryzen 3000 series drop in price, then I will get that instead

#

I also have a 2070 Super and they perform pretty well together

sharp pelican
#

Just wait for 5000 prices

vague maple
steady sage
lofty mica
#

to what?

steady sage
#

is this a solid build?

#

idk im thinking on getting it

vague maple
#

to what?
@lofty mica lemme put together a pcpartpicker

lofty mica
#

alright

uncut pelican
#

Quick question for you guys
Did any of you get the 3070 or 3080 and tell me which u got if u got one.

molten rose
#

Why not use Newegg's pc part picker?

vague maple
#

dont like it

#

pcpartpicker is much more convenient imo

weak field
#

use the web verison

lofty mica
#

i only did microcenter because i might visit my grandparents and they live next to a microcenter

polar anvil
#

need pc for 600 and 144 hz moitor not over 150

uncut pelican
#

Thats tricky

#

Gl with that

foggy hazel
#

@molten rose because neweggs builder is not up to scratch, and their product selection is smaller

molten rose
#

ok, I never used it before, so I was curious

foggy hazel
#

aye aye :)

molten rose
#

So thanks for the info @foggy hazel

upbeat lodge
#

Should I get a amd 6000

molten rose
#

You mean the GPU that is coming out soon?

upbeat lodge
#

Yeah

molten rose
#

wait for reviews and pricing to drop for every country

#

depending on where you live

upbeat lodge
#

The 6000 serious

#

Oh

molten rose
#

at least wait for reviews

upbeat lodge
#

Okay

balmy patio
#

it should perform better than the 3000 series cards, but just wait a while and see if there is any problems with it or if what amd claims is true

upbeat lodge
#

Okay

molten rose
#

Yeah, cause AMD is notorious for having driver issues

upbeat lodge
#

Yeah

vague maple
upbeat lodge
#

Good point

lofty mica
#

alright

vague maple
#

and i would personally go with a more powerful gpu but thats up to you

#

Yeah, cause AMD is notorious for having driver issues
@molten rose false

#

they had driver issues in the beginning that are now fixed

#

they dont have driver issues every gpu launch

#

don't spread fake info please

molten rose
#

I didn't think it was false

lofty mica
vague maple
#

np

molten rose
#

Its all I hear about them

lofty mica
#

i think ill just change the case

vague maple
#

then you're listening to nvidia fanboys lol

#

i think ill just change the case
@lofty mica ok, i chose that one because its got great thermals and enough fans

molten rose
#

Yeah, I will have to do more research

vague maple
#

mhmm

lofty mica
#

thanks anyways

vague maple
#

np

#

but like i said

#

i would go for a more powerful gpu

#

and cut down on some other corners

molten rose
#

But anyways, since Ryzen came out, I have sort of become an AMD fan, and I really want an all AMD system when the new graphics cards come out

lofty mica
#

i dont need to buy a windows copy right

vague maple
#

mhmm

But anyways, since Ryzen came out, I have sort of become an AMD fan, and I really want an all AMD system when the new graphics cards come out
@molten rose

#

and yeah you dont need to buy one

lofty mica
#

i would go for a more powerful gpu
@vague maple ill see cause i have way more to blow

vague maple
#

you can get a key for 2 bucks or use the free version, but there's a watermark in the bottom right

little osprey
lofty mica
#

my grandparents gave me a budget of 1.3

gritty zenith
#

buy linux

#

op

vague maple
#

no you can get a more powerful gpu in a 1k budget

gritty zenith
#

dang

vague maple
#

if its a 1.3k budget, get a 3070

gritty zenith
#

$1.30 budget must suck

lofty mica
#

aight

vague maple
#

you can pair that with a 5600x if it's good when it releases

gritty zenith
#

by "if its good" do you mean its stock or the performance?

#

cuz like i think the numbers are pretty promising

vague maple
#

when you say stock i'm assuming you mean cooler

little osprey
molten rose
#

Or just wait for the new parts to come out before buying anything instead of buying right now

vague maple
#

and i mean performance

gritty zenith
#

nah i mean how many are available to buy

vague maple
#

oh

#

naw it'll be impossible to get one lmao

lofty mica
#

ok the 3070 took up way more than i was expecting

gritty zenith
#

i would personally fork over an extra $80 for the rx 6800

vague maple
#

need me to make you a 1.3k budget build?

#

with the 5600x?

#

and 3070?

lofty mica
#

no im good

vague maple
#

ok

#

just as well, i need to get back to my homework lmao

lofty mica
#

i think im gonna go with a 5600xt rn

#

then upgrade

vague maple
#

you sure?

lofty mica
#

yeah

vague maple
#

you dont have to get a 3070

lofty mica
#

maybe a more powerful radeon?

vague maple
#

a 2070 super or a 1080ti would be good enough

#

or a more powerful xt yeah

lofty mica
#

Ok thanks

vague maple
#

np

balmy patio
#

no, not a 2070s, at that point just get a 3070

#

if youre not worried about graphics power but still want to play video games comfortably, get a 2060

molten rose
#

Well, the 2000 series has dropped a lot in price, and you can still get great performance. So look for a good deal

balmy patio
#

^^

vague maple
#

you'll be able to get a 2070s for around 300 if you buy used in a brand new condition

#

that's what im talking about

#

getting a 2070s at 500? lmao no way

balmy patio
#

oh, well it really depends if technosimp would like to buy used

vague maple
#

i mean

real cobalt
vague maple
#

he can buy used from a manufacturer like evga, which sells b stock refurbished gpus

lofty mica
#

yknow how a 3060 was leaked

vague maple
#

that is a very overkill psu

#

how?

lofty mica
#

idk

vague maple
#

ok then lmao

lofty mica
#

yters are going crazy over the "leaks" of a 3060

modern pagoda
#

that psu is very yery overkill

real cobalt
#

that is a very overkill psu
@vague maple its already here for me guys

#

purchased

modern pagoda
#

u should just get a 850w

#

oh

#

well still

real cobalt
#

its marked as purchased 😄

modern pagoda
#

oops

real cobalt
#

im just not decided with what MB to go

#

mortar seems just right not too much useles features and quality

#

like tomahawk have useless 1GB ethernet port additonally to 2.5GB

sharp pelican
#

My poor system:(

#

6gb of ram....

lofty mica
#

F

storm flume
#

yo is a 700w 80+ white power supply enough for an i7 9700k and RTX 3080?

lofty mica
#

i changed the my pcpartpicker list

#

is this good

#

yo is a 700w 80+ white power supply enough for an i7 9700k and RTX 3080?
@storm flume no nvidia recommends atleast 800 i believe

balmy patio
#

so im assuming your budget is 1k, right @lofty mica ?

lofty mica
#

yes

#

no

balmy patio
#

(just for the pc)

analog pulsar
lofty mica
#

oh yeah

#

1.1

#

k

balmy patio
#

oh okok

sharp pelican
#

Thats a nice 970 ngl

lofty mica
#

yeah

balmy patio
#

i mean the person has a 3080 pre-ordered so eh im not gonna judge

sharp pelican
#

Still, my pc best pc KirbyMusic

waxen obsidian
#

😆

#

Too funny man

rapid hound
#

Yes

fresh plinth
#

can confirm

formal shell
#

is it worth paying 22$ more for 3600 cl16 over 3200 cl16 ram

gaunt vortex
#

Eh.... if you are getting a Zen 3 then maybe

pliant drum
#

yeah if ur on zen 3 then maybe

gaunt vortex
#

We're going to need a lot of detailed benchmarks to really know for sure how big of an impact what will be on what.

#

But it seems to be "faster = better" atm

long topaz
#

I mean, it’s good but idk if you NEED it

gaunt vortex
#

up to 4000

#

anything over 4000 should be almost zero return for vastly more money.

#

I went with 3600 CL 18 for my Zen 3 build, going to try and overclock the ram a bit and see if I can boost it anyway, but I needed an absolute ton of ram and the CL16 would've doubled the cost :/

pulsar zodiac
#

question

#

would it be cheaper to buy instore or online

pliant drum
#

what ram did u get? cause I heard you can get high overclocks on the trident z neo

zealous edge
#

Online

gaunt vortex
#

buy what? It wildly depends on a lot of factors

zealous edge
#

Most of the time

pulsar zodiac
#

buy parts like almost everything

zealous edge
#

Wym a lot of factors lol

#

???

#

😐

pulsar zodiac
#

CPU, GPU, RAM, Hard drive, M.2, and power supply

pliant drum
#

if you find a good deal on a part amazon and want to get it quick check best buy cause they will most likely price match it if they have it in store

pulsar zodiac
#

I'm pretty sure thats it

pliant drum
#

on amazon*

#

as long as its fulfilled by amazon and they have it in stock

gaunt vortex
pliant drum
#

and the return policy lasts for a while

pulsar zodiac
#

I'm getting my case on amazon and I'm probably gonna be using a stock cooler for now

little osprey
#

stock cooler is all u need

zealous edge
#

What cpu?

pulsar zodiac
#

I might go with AIO

#

3700X

little osprey
#

stock cooler is fine

#

why do u need an aio

pulsar zodiac
#

idk

#

AIO for the CPU

balmy patio
#

yeah and the stock cooler doesnt look too bad for the 3700x

junior nymph
#

look cool

little osprey
#

dont waste ur money

pulsar zodiac
#

just for it to be quieter

#

i guess

gaunt vortex
#

It was on sale at the time, so got like $60 off buying two kits of 64 vs 1 kit of 128. I know that's technically a risk, but so absurdly small it was worth the shot imo

pulsar zodiac
#

my macbook is super loud

pliant drum
#

mhm

little osprey
#

well thats ur macbook

pulsar zodiac
#

like 2 minutes of playing minecraft and it's louder then an air raid siren

pliant drum
#

yeah as long as your case has decent airflow it will be pretty quiet

little osprey
#

the prism is pretty quiet and wil keep ur 3700x cool

pulsar zodiac
#

Hold on lemme show me case

#

and my build

#

one sec

final thicket
#

Guys any 3 slot itx cases u can suggest

pliant drum
#

rn I have an aio for my r5 1600 (sounds overkill) but got a good deal on it and have a r9 and am waiting on a mobo for it (also some more ram and eventually a 3070 when theyre in stock)

pulsar zodiac
#

one moment

pliant drum
#

so technically I have an excuse

pulsar zodiac
#

here we go

little osprey
#

whats this for

pulsar zodiac
#

the monitor and keyboard are going to change

#

Gaming

little osprey
#

waste of money

pulsar zodiac
#

wdym

little osprey
#

3700x has barely any gaming perf over 3600

pulsar zodiac
#

I'm also going for streaming

little osprey
#

u dont need 32gb for streaming either

#

ur wasting a lot of money for performance youre not gonna use

real plover
#

I just posted pics of my first build in the pics channel, could anybody give some constructive criticism? This is only my first build.

long topaz
#

You sure you want 4x8 not 2x16?

vital warren
#

you stream off your gpu anyway

#

with nvenc

little osprey
#

^

pliant drum
#

you should be fine for streaming with 3600 and 16gb just maek sure that you have a decent speed on ur ram (3200+ at least)

gaunt vortex
#

I mean unless you play Cities: Skylines

vital warren
#

so if you're spending $300 on a cpu just get a 5600x whenever it's available

pulsar zodiac
#

yeah

gaunt vortex
#

I tried that with my new ram and it ate up 80gb of memory

pulsar zodiac
#

I don't want to backorder

vital warren
#

and you're spending an awful lot on a motherboard

pulsar zodiac
#

I can't put an ethernet cable through my room

#

so I need a wifi thing

vital warren
#

well yeah

long topaz
#

The case is gonna be an issue isn’t it @real plover

vital warren
#

but there is cheaper wifi boards

pulsar zodiac
#

I guess

real plover
#

I cut a hole in the metal in the front for an intake fan (120mm)

#

and I have a 92mm + my psu for exhaust

long topaz
#

Yea modding will be your only solution

pliant drum
#

if you want 4x8 you pay less by getting it as a whole too u can get neo for like 175 when with the vengeance rn ur paying like 200

pulsar zodiac
#

I mean besides going a bit of pricing is everything alright?

#

It's in canadian

real plover
#

I paid around 140 for the ram

gaunt vortex
pliant drum
#

nvm lmao

gaunt vortex
#

wifi board

long topaz
#

I mean you can just see how the temps are over time and judge if a new case is worth

pulsar zodiac
#

yeah

pliant drum
#

yeah id get an x570 not a b550

real plover
#

rn fully loaded cpu is 70 and gpu is 68

pulsar zodiac
#

Why should I go with an X570?

#

same price?

neat mortar
#

can someone that knows how to build go on a call with my and help me build it

long topaz
#

Yea pretty nice I think

pulsar zodiac
#

I don't know how to build

#

hold on Imma grab a link

long topaz
#

Maybe some prices are a bit much but pretty good

little osprey
#

x570 is also overkill

real plover
#

thx

little osprey
#

u dont need a 3700x

pulsar zodiac
#

who needed a PC

#

BRUH

#

WEBSITE

#

@neat mortar DM me

little osprey
#

please dont tell me ur making a pcpp for smo

deep skiff
#

wut

little osprey
#

when u posted ur crap of a build

pulsar zodiac
#

what

long topaz
#

There isn’t much room for cable management so the work you’ve done already is pretty good considering @real plover

pulsar zodiac
#

I just have a video link on how to build a PC

little osprey
#

u making a pcpp for @neat mortar ?

pulsar zodiac
#

and I'm going to give it to someone

#

oh

little osprey
#

Astro send ur build again

pulsar zodiac
little osprey
#

youre going overkill for gaming/streaming

#

who made u this pcpp btw

pulsar zodiac
#

lots of my friends

#

like 5 of them

#

we were in a VC and they helped

I’m astro and he’s Astro

little osprey
#

u want wifi yet ur friends made u a pcpp without a wifi mobo/wifi card

#

@reef linden

#

Can u make me the list if you have time

long topaz
#

If you want overkill and money isn’t an issue, then a 3700 is fine I think no?

pulsar zodiac
#

Yeah

little osprey
#

3700x is overkill for gaming

#

besides why would u want overkill

pulsar zodiac
#

Like my build should be an estimated 2700 canadian dollars

#

idk

deft geyser
#

Guys is this build ok?
MB: Aorus B450 Elite

little osprey
#

fine lemme do something

#

how much is msrp in cad for 5600x @pulsar zodiac

pulsar zodiac
#

I'm not sure

deft geyser
#

My build is like 600 US dollars

pulsar zodiac
#

about 400

#

why

#

383.78

little osprey
#

we gonna gib u a 5600x

pulsar zodiac
#

no

little osprey
#

y

pulsar zodiac
#

because

little osprey
#

becuase ?

pulsar zodiac
#

because

#

i don't want to wait another like 2 weeks because of back orders for it

little osprey
#

5600x comes out in like 2 days

pulsar zodiac
#

yes I know

vital warren
#

just wait for benchmarks

pulsar zodiac
#

and I'm getting my build this or next week

vital warren
#

we'll see then how it performs

#

and if it's worth the buy

little osprey
#

okay its ur money spend it however u like

#

if u want an overkill pc go for it

pulsar zodiac
#

I waited for the 3070 to come out to get a 2070 RTX super and now they're not manufacturing them

vital warren
#

you already have a 3070 on that list which is hard enough to get

#

don't get a 2070s

#

yikers

little osprey
#

@abstract garden looking at ur pcpp right now

abstract garden
#

ok

safe peak
#

is a 3600xt really worth it over a 3600

little osprey
#

its like a 10 usd diff now

#

iirc

safe peak
#

yesterday it was 40

little osprey
#

lemme check again

pulsar zodiac
#

I would go with a 2060/2070 RTX super but they dont make them anymore so I have to go with a 3070 @vital warren

little osprey
#

welp now its 50 usd diff

safe peak
#

yup 😦

little osprey
#

@abstract garden changing to 3600. we should swap your case. h5xx are horrible for airflow, something like a p400a will do u well

safe peak
#

i want to pair it with a 3070 but i dont want it to be bottnecked

#

bottleneck*

little osprey
#

pair what with a 3070 ?

safe peak
#

yeah

abstract garden
#

so is that it or

safe peak
#

a 3600

vital warren
little osprey
#

that wont bottleneck

vital warren
#

can fit a 3080 @abstract garden

little osprey
#

phantom kinda eh

safe peak
#

what about at 1080

abstract garden
#

yeah but I am trying to not spend more money lol

vital warren
#

it's all you need for a 3600

#

solid budget board

little osprey
#

dwella

#

we had the same thought. p400a and amp 750 e.e

vital warren
#

nice

#

two good picks

little osprey
#

we need more storage 500gb gon run out real quick

#

throwing in 2tb compute

#

@vital warren don’t get that psu

vital warren
#

yeah you can throw in a 2tb whenever

pulsar zodiac
#

well imma head up

#

I'll keep you all updated

vital warren
#

that psu is good?

little osprey
#

Eh

#

enermax revolution better

vital warren
#

^

safe peak
#

in pcpart picker it ssays that a b550f wont support a 5600x

#

;-;-;

vital warren
#

or corsair rmx but that's usually overpriced

#

it will

little osprey
#

it will tho

#

with a bios

#

on release date

modern pagoda
#

yea

little osprey
#

Corsair rm

#

b450 only gets late bios q1 2021

vital warren
#

rm is decent

#

rmx is better

safe peak
#

so it will suport it

vital warren
#

amp is still a solid choice

little osprey
#

If you were to recommend a gaming laptop what would it be

small osprey
#

None

vital warren
#

don't know too much about laptops

small osprey
#

Get a desktop

little osprey
#

I can’t

#

Get

#

A

#

obviously he wants a laptop for a reason

#

Desktop

#

otherwise any sane person will opt for a desktop

#

I have 100 gb internet at 5mbps

small osprey
#

Gaming laptop extremely overpriced

safe peak
#

is meshify c good?

small osprey
#

is meshify c good?
@safe peak yes

little osprey
#

good for airflow

#

but better choices like p400a

safe peak
#

ok

small osprey
#

Td500

little osprey
small osprey
#

Lancool 2 mesh

little osprey
#

And I can’t really get a desktop

safe peak
#

rate me

little osprey
#

5/10

#

Ram is bad

#

And ryzen should have 3600

safe peak
#

what should i change it to

little osprey
#

Mhz

safe peak
#

ok

little osprey
#

Crucial balistik

#

Cl 16

#

u got the wrong p400a

modern pagoda
#

did u get the 3070 or r u hoping too 6/10 same reason 5/10 if no card

safe peak
#

hoping to

modern pagoda
#

well5/10

#

when do u plan on buying

safe peak
#

all of the other parts other than gpu maybe in 2-3 weeks and idk about gpu ;-;-; ig when it is in stock

#

at micro center

modern pagoda
#

which micro center

safe peak
#

tustin

#

i live 2 minutes away from there

#

luckily

midnight matrix
#

The closest micro to me is 6 hours

safe peak
#

rip lol

#

will best buy carry 3070s?

little osprey
midnight matrix
#

But that’s why I use newegg

safe peak
#

im scared that with newegg or amazon its going to be stolen

modern pagoda
#

oof

safe peak
#

@little osprey i put that in my build

#

now

modern pagoda
#

i was there bro you ain't getting one anytime too

little osprey
#

Ok

safe peak
#

and i switched the case

modern pagoda
#

better off with a 2070

#

s or non s

safe peak
#

why cant amd go with 3200 speed and have to go 3600

modern pagoda
#

you don't have too

#

but it is better

safe peak
#

oh

modern pagoda
#

i have 3200 speed im fine

safe peak
#

if i get memory should i get more memory or faster down the line

modern pagoda
#

yea

safe peak
#

like upgrade to 32 gigs or upgrade my speed

modern pagoda
#

i have 32 gigs

safe peak
#

is it necessary for everyday use? @modern pagoda

modern pagoda
#

32 gigs no

#

8 gigs yes

safe peak
#

so i will be fine with 16

modern pagoda
#

16 recommended

safe peak
#

ok

#

is the 465x case good?

modern pagoda
#

i have 32 gigs im a twitch streamer and youtuber

safe peak
modern pagoda
#

thats a really good case don't change that

#

its better than mine

safe peak
#

okokoko

#

and with the case fans and if i add a aio, how would i add it to the software

#

icue

little osprey
#

dont get that case

modern pagoda
#

well are u getting a corsair one

little osprey
#

ur paying 140usd for a case

safe peak
#

true true

little osprey
#

better off with a p400a digital

#

equivelent airflow performance

#

well near equivelent iirc

sand sleet
#

I have that case

vital warren
#

obi one if you're using a 3600 ( i think) you don't need an aio

#

waste of money

safe peak
#

i should just stick to the stock cooler?

vital warren
#

you can

#

if you want to get something aftermarket a $50 air cooler should do you fine

#

and if you need those suggestions head on over to #old-cooling

modern pagoda
#

yea

safe peak
#

if i get the stock cooller instead of an aio or a air cooler, will my temps still be around the same?

modern pagoda
#

thats fine

vital warren
#

the stock cooler gets the job done

modern pagoda
#

it depends on the cooler

vital warren
#

your temps will not be crazy high with stock

modern pagoda
#

r u overclocking

vital warren
#

it'll be in 60s/70s

safe peak
#

yes

vital warren
#

only thing you really would need to worry about is maybe a little noise

#

but that's about it

#

from the stock one

modern pagoda
#

oh well an aftermarket cooler is better for that

vital warren
#

^

safe peak
#

ok

#

im trying to build a computer that is going to last 5+ years so that is why i am going 3070

little osprey
#

good luck with that

#

also u dont need an after market cooler

#

stock cooler works fine unless ur doing heavy oc

vital warren
#

^^^

little osprey
#

and on zen2 oc'ing is useless

#

stick with your prism save yourself a couple of bucks

safe peak
#

ight

#

is intel better for oc then amd?

little osprey
#

alter your budget to gte the 3080 if u can (you said it was lastng 5 years, 3080 will do a much better job at that)

modern pagoda
#

yea in some ways

little osprey
#

intel oc's actually will make a difference

#

ryzen oc's are barely anything

safe peak
#

will a 3080 ever be in stock tho because it is out of stock everywhere

little osprey
#

im not saying go for intel though. dont get me wrong intel is great at low end gaming but at this price point amd takes the lead

#

it would be remarkable if you could find a 3070 right now

safe peak
#

yeah

#

intel is $

gleaming turtle
#

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/Lzmrrr Getting back into gaming was going to build this PC. but as i research i see the 5000 series and 6800xt come out next week. how much more money do you wall except them to add to this build? worth the wait? or just get a good current intel cpu and and video card

System Builder

micro center has 3070s and i live 2 minutes away but the lines

little osprey
#

@gleaming turtle not a great build. will take a look at it now.

gleaming turtle
#

oh god i failed that bad haha. im trying to get best bang for my buck i dont need to get crazy best results but i have money to get whats needed

stoic island
#

@safe peak FHD as in what resolution?

#

1080p..?

safe peak
#

yes

#

1920 x 1080

#

at 32 inches

stoic island
#

oh hell no

safe peak
#

what about at 27

stoic island
#

no

little osprey
#

JC whats ur budget for this btw

stoic island
#

24in is where 1920x1080 is good

little osprey
#

@gleaming turtle

safe peak
#

is 1440p at 27 inches fine

stoic island
#

Yes

#

1080p at 24in, 1440p at 27in, 4k at 32in imo.

#

for 16:9

safe peak
#

ok

gleaming turtle
#

@little osprey under 2k CAD so like 1500 usd give or take

little osprey
#

im building in cad

#

2k cad w/out windows ?

stoic island
#

windows key is like 20cad max tho :P

gleaming turtle
#

without

stoic island
#

I'll leave mxmo to make the list then

safe peak
little osprey
#

JC are u able to get a 3070 ?

#

i assume u need wifi as well

safe peak
#

idk if a 9600k will bottneck a 3080

gleaming turtle
#

im pretty big yeah i can beat someone up. i dont need wifi im always hardwired

little osprey
#

every cpu as of right now will "bottleneck" the 3080

modern pagoda
#

yea

polar anvil
#

is this good

safe peak
#

rip .-.

little osprey
gleaming turtle
#

thanks!

little osprey
#

@stoic island take a quick look

idle compass
little osprey
#

do let me know if i can improve on it

idle compass
#

is this build any good

little osprey
#

@polar anvil is ur budget 600 usd ?

stoic island
#

see if you can do 3600c16

polar anvil
#

yeah\

little osprey
#

see if you can do 3600c16
@stoic island that is what i put right ?

polar anvil
#

but it says incompatibility so... @little osprey

stoic island
#

you put in 3600c18

little osprey
#

oh huh

#

i thought i did c16

stoic island
#

and also, I'd use crucial P1 than P2

little osprey
#

i heard bad abt P1

#

so i went with p2

#

there are better options for nvme boot tho

stoic island
#

hm?

little osprey
#

just too lazy to find em :P

stoic island
#

wdym

little osprey
#

a lot of people talk bad abt the p1

stoic island
#

which part

little osprey
#

as i have it myself i dont really see a concern

stoic island
#

It's worse than mainstream drives yea ofc

little osprey
#

obviously

modern pagoda
#

well you can switch out the 1tb drive for 2tb @polar anvil

little osprey
stoic island
#

but like

#

what specific issue

little osprey
#

Mike if u want we can go intel btw

#

but this is pretty solid

stoic island
#

@little osprey the reason why I prefer P1 over P2 is because P1 has dram while P2 uses HMB

little osprey
#

i dont quite remember

polar anvil
#

thx bro i might till black friday

little osprey
#

although do feel free to build upon

polar anvil
#

@little osprey will the nzxt h510 work with it

little osprey
#

i highly advise against the h510

#

but if u want to spring ur budget that much sure go ahead

polar anvil
#

yeah i heard the air flow is bad

stoic island
#

h510 bad

#

issa 2 fans

wind sinew
#

4000d is an excellent choice

stoic island
#

check out MX330-g air >:D

#

hm?

#

td500 mesh then

wind sinew
#

I find that hard to believe. That case is pretty large

stoic island
#

very hard to beat 360mm top rad

wind sinew
#

Can you confirm dimensions on their website

stoic island
#

4000d fits 280mm top rad

iron berry
#

4000d airflow is on back order rn 😦

wind sinew
#

Amazon?

#

Whoops that’s taboo here haha

iron berry
#

ohhh bestbuy has it

#

for me

frank frost
#

Hello guys, I'm planning to build my first pc with neweggs black November and wanted to know if this build is good for the price.

wind sinew
#

@golden acorn that’s a bummer dude

frank frost
little osprey
#

@frank frost dont flood chat

#

theres something called pc part picker

#

it'll let u insert parts of ur build and arrange a final price

wind sinew
#

@frank frost what do you hope to do with this build

frank frost
#

Sorry I made a discord recently didn't know that pictures appeared like this

stoic island
little osprey
#

@frank frost give me a budget/use and if u need wifi please

#

ill be happy to compile a list for u :)

frank frost
#

Basically 1440p gaming at 144fps for games like forza horizon 4, MW: WZ, R6, valorant, and basically new aaa games like Cyberpunk etc.

little osprey
#

lets set up a budget alright ?

frank frost
#

My budget is 1450

cursive magnet
frank frost
#

Wifi really isn't a necessity but Bluetooth is for controller

wind sinew
#

Sounds like @little osprey is down to help you build it out! @frank frost

stoic island
#

makes thing a ton easier

frank frost
#

Maybe just to show my friends or something> any streaming?
@golden acorn

wind sinew
#

@frank frost everyone will give you different advice that will work great regardless. Stick with one person to help guide you through your build.

frank frost
#

Okay thanks!

glacial umbra
#

ok

#

got a 1070 ti for 150 USD

cursive magnet
#

Sorry, it’s just how the pics came through

frank frost
#

Yeah sorry for the pics again didn't know they appeared full size

wind sinew
#

You’re welcome! You can always DM me with any questions if you can’t get in touch with anyone. I have 13 years of build experience

frank frost
#

I thought only a small thumbnail appeard

little osprey
#

@frank frost are you able to purchase a 3070

frank frost
#

I'm searching for the asus tuf 3070

#

That's the one that I like

#

Or the EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 XC3 with backplate

#

so thats what i want to build for myself: i7-10700k, rtx 3070(msi), 16gb ram 3600mhz cl16, msi mag z490 tomahawk, 750w gold psu, NZXT kraken x62/63, corsair 4000d airflow(case)
@golden acorn
That's great but it exceeds my budget by quite a bit. I misspelled it it was 1350 firm instead of 1450

glacial umbra
#

yeah a steal of a deal 😎

#

don't really like the yellow though

#

that's actually not a bad idea

stoic island
#

Mxmo you working on a list?

little osprey
#

@frank frost https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tFbLPV for your use 1200 usd is all that u need so i focused a bit more on the aesthetic side of things. with 16gb of 3600 cl16 rgb ram it'll look great in your build and a 3600 will be more than enough for your gaming/streaming needs. i do urge you to pickup a 3070 if you can but if not a 5700xt from any cheap aib will do you just fine. i do remember your need for wifi and bluetooth so i added a 40 usd wifi/bluetooth card (a bit expensive but i was too lazy to find a cheaper one :P)

System Builder
stoic island
#

Nice

little osprey
#

yea had trouble finding a bluetooth and wifi card

stoic island
#

Uhh

little osprey
#

ill be signing off soon do lmk if u can build upon that at all

stoic island
#

@little osprey B550m pro vdh wifi

coarse coral
stoic island
#

That motherboard exists

coarse coral
#

get it while in stock

little osprey
#

@little osprey B550m pro vdh wifi
@stoic island does that come with bluetooth ?

stoic island
#

Yes

#

Wifi and bluetooth

still roostBOT
#
Mxmo#1907 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

little osprey
#

didnt realize

#

switching now

#

i always thought it just had wifi no bluetooth

stoic island
#

Same money on non-rgb ram, and get a MP34/SN750 for ssd

#

Otherwise good

#

Wifi 99% of the time means bluetooth too

frank frost
#

@little osprey thanks I'll take a look at it now

System Builder
stoic island
#

From what I've seen at least

glacial umbra
#

any good ryzen 3 recommendations?

#

trying to get a good cheaper end gaming cpu

little osprey
#

3100

#

buttt intel would fair u better at that range

stoic island
#

I like it

little osprey
#

enermax is ur friend :P

stoic island
#

Case is personal preference

#

Revolution d.f. is just a great psu at a great price

little osprey
#

mhm but p400a is solid airflow/price

stoic island
frank frost
#

Everything looks good I'll see if I can get it later on thanks!

stoic island
#

3070 in stock on my end

little osprey
#

i mean his budget was 1400-1500 i just threw it in there for upgradability

#

although he wont be needing to upgrade for a whilee

deft zephyr
#

i n eed a 3070 Omg

stoic island
#

Why not

glacial umbra
#

would the 3300x be a good choice?

deft zephyr
#

im gonna pass out and die if i dont get a 3070

stoic island
#

@glacial umbra you're not going to find one >:D

#

3300x has been out of stock for months

glacial umbra
#

oh

deft zephyr
#

i litteraly was there at 9:00 when the 3070 released only for it to go out of stock before i can click

stoic island
#

Rip

#

Yea gigabyte 3070 sold out

glacial umbra
#

oh I guess it's out of stock now

stoic island
#

Hey I saw it in stock for a sec

deft zephyr
#

to overpriced for me to buy anyways

glacial umbra
#

did they not make a counter for the bots yet?

deft zephyr
#

750 smh like what

gaunt vortex
#

I saw stock for like, 3min.

#

Could still add units to cart at 4 past

stoic island
#

@glacial umbra rn it ain't bots

glacial umbra
#

oh just people buying quick?

stoic island
#

Its literally too many people wanting one

#

I was able to get on that page and still have it in stock on mobile

#

So uh

gaunt vortex
#

Was not trying to but a 3070 though, so removed after that.

glacial umbra
#

ah

stoic island
#

People on PC would be even faster

deft zephyr
#

Bruh

glacial umbra
#

oh the 3300x is out of stock

#

that's weird

#

canada computers just had it in stock

deft zephyr
#

im hoping the Ryzen 5 5600X doesnt go out of stock in 3 miliseconds cuz i really want it for my new pc build

#

it was gonna be 5 5600x with 3070.. but i cant find 3070 anywhere

gaunt vortex
#

I'm buying a Zen 2 cpu today at some point, just in case I can't get a Zen 3.

#

At least I can turn my system on then while I wait for 3s to come back in stock.

deft zephyr
#

Ooo i should do that

#

but instead of the cpu a graphics card

#

Do you guys think the 5 5600X will have good stock ?

gaunt vortex
#

Yeah, I am just going to move my 980ti into my comp until I find a RTX3080

#

I expect it'll be months yet, but that's fine. I don't like waiting. But major first-world problem there.

deft zephyr
#

Same for me panic but instead of a 980 ti its gonna be a 1050 ti since its the only one i have peepoSadSip

#

1050 ti with a 5 5600X yikes

crimson merlin
#

ti means its good

#

dw

deft zephyr
#

lol

vital warren
#

1050ti = for the garbage

deft zephyr
#

dwella.. its the only thing i got

#

which is why i was tryna get a new pc but the 3070 never came back to me in stock

crimson merlin
#

got my 2060 and found out the hard way that the rtx text doesnt light up

vital warren
#

you'll get it eventually

deft zephyr
#

Yall think the 5 5600x is gonna run out of stock really fast like the 3070 and the 3080??

gaunt vortex
#

there, I just ordered a 3600 on amazon. It's out of stock until the 17th, but that actually works fine for me...

balmy patio
#

yeah @deft zephyr

gaunt vortex
#

If I get the 5900 or 5950 I can just cancel the 3600

deft zephyr
#

fk man

#

hopefully this time i get lucky..

gaunt vortex
#

my PSU won't be here until like the 18th anyway lol

deft zephyr
#

Im going to send u guys the build im getting, i ask for some feedback

foggy hazel
#

wrong link :)

#

yellow box :)

deft zephyr
#

me?

balmy patio
#

lmao i can relate haha my mother doesn't really like the word "gaming" on components

deft zephyr
#

wait what yellow box @foggy hazel

balmy patio
#

the yellow box on the website

deft zephyr
#

IM 15

balmy patio
#

the box above the green one

#

send that link

deft zephyr
#

Thanks

balmy patio
#

there ya go

gaunt vortex
#

God this discord makes me feel so old even though I'm not really by objective metrics

deft zephyr
#

Nah

foggy hazel
#

thats a solid build @deft zephyr

I would personally not pay for the tomahawk. but that is your choice.

and you can get a 2tb Barracuda for 8usd more

deft zephyr
#

Whattt really..

#

i already ordered the HDD

#

Smh

gaunt vortex
#

I think the 2tb is 5200 rpms though right?

#

So tradeoff.

vital warren
#

7200

deft zephyr
#

Why wouldnt you pay for the Tomohawk @foggy hazel To expensive?

vital warren
#

switch the ram to crucial ballistix 3600 cl16 2x8

#

white

#

rgb

foggy hazel
#

overpriced for what it delivers

vital warren
#

few bucks more

deft zephyr
#

i have my ram already

foggy hazel
#

nice catch @vital warren, thank you, didnt notice that high price for those.

vital warren
#

rip

deft zephyr
#

but no guys

vital warren
#

3200 is good enough

deft zephyr
#

i got it a lot cheaper

#

Like a lot cheaper

#

idk why its so high rn

vital warren
#

good then

hollow rivet
#

I have a severely outdated PC.

#

So I cant compete with todays systems. Especially with the rtx 2000 and 3000 series

deft zephyr
#

But my motherboard is good though right?

stoic island
#

tomahawk is overpriced

#

is decent

#

but overpriced

deft zephyr
#

Ok

get 3600c16 ram whenever possible

#

Seagate 2tb is just 10$ more than the WD Blue 1tb

deft zephyr
#

i probably shouldve gone here before buying it then

stoic island
#

maybe swap PSU to an amp 750w to save 10$

#

other than that good

deft zephyr
#

Ok

#

cant i overclock my ram to 3600?

stoic island
#

breh

#

You know how much ram OC you can usually do?

deft zephyr
#

N

stoic island
#

Ram is a huge PITA to OC

#

and unless you pay a ton extra for b die

#

you're not getting anything guaranteed

#

especially not with corsair ram

deft zephyr
#

is 3200 that much diff from 3600 cuz i already got the 3200

stoic island
#

and their weird asf dies

#

god damn it

#

and it had to be vengeance rgb

deft zephyr
#

atleast it has rgb 🙂

stoic island
#

I hate that kit with a passion
why the hell did corsair think it was a good idea to make the heatsink wide

#

it just deletes your top radiator compatiblity

Overall ram tends to have small but pretty minimal impacts on anything but specific cases. A lot of games are ram insensitive overall, and some CPUs (zen 3) can work better with higher speed ram then others.

fk man

stoic island
#

Zen 2 you mean

gaunt vortex
#

So YMMV a lot

deft zephyr
#

should i return it

stoic island
#

I personally would

deft zephyr
#

And get a 3600

stoic island
#

because 1. It's 3200c16
2. It's corsair weird heatsink

#
  1. expensive

#

Nope, Zen 3; talking about the reports of it working best with 4000 ram and 3600 as a minimum

#

but no hard real world info yet

deft zephyr
#

Omg i messed up

"Nope, Zen 3; talking about the reports of it working best with 4000 ram and 3600 as a minimum"

#

less will still work, to be clear.

deft zephyr
#

Yes but ...

@gaunt vortex my personal stance on it is this: 3600@cl16 is the difference between having a machine be good enough for just that tiny amount longer.

And keep in mind, i prefer building for long term use

stoic island
#

We know Zen 2 works better with 3600mhz

deft zephyr
#

Someone link 3600 mhz good ram ? 16 gb

foggy hazel
#

@gaunt vortex you thinking of that single remark that was made about zen3 and 4000ram?

stoic island
#

no idea on Zen 3

deft zephyr
#

rgb 👀 pls i have the money

stoic island
#

one sec

gaunt vortex
#

I've seen it reported multiple places, but yes, likely from the same source. I am not giving it much weight. I myself opted for 3600 CL 18 for a Zen 3 build.

stoic island
#

But yea Panic

#

I dunno about the 3600mhz on minimum when AMD themselves used 3200mhz

glacial umbra
#

is ram normally a pain in the ass to install?

stoic island
#

no

deft zephyr
#

im getting mixed messages here.. do i stay with the 3200 or buy 360

stoic island
#

you just push

#

and done

deft zephyr
#

No ram is ez

glacial umbra
#

I feel like I'm putting way too much pressure lol

deft zephyr
#

3600

gaunt vortex
#

The testing I saw said 3600 was the "sweet spot" that had the most effect for money, after which it dropped off and stopped at around 4000. But until I see a lot of actual real world benchmarks I'm not putting a lot of faith in it.

Obviously 2666 would work.
