Yo hear me out

[boreal valley]

also i'm using a stock cooler, but for my cousin's ryzen 7

[still bay]

Getting nvme ssds just so you don’t have 2 extra cables

Lowkey the like 5x price is worth it

[boreal valley]

me?

[ripe wedge]

@whole harbor im still making the list

[coral sable]

yeah i got the stock cooler thinking i was gonna get a cpu deal to fall was well

[ripe wedge]

@coral sable what kinda games are you looking to play on it?

[whole harbor]

fortnite

Lmfao

[coral sable]

Im trying to do some good 1080p gaming

nah lol

[whole harbor]

With a $500

budget

U can get a 1650 super

I3-9100

[coral sable]

I do got GTA but other than that I haven't build up a huge library

[ripe wedge]

yeah thats what I was thinking but he already has a b550 mobo

and ah

[whole harbor]

Lul

[ripe wedge]

so yeah a 1650 super would be fine

[whole harbor]

Lowkey could get a 1660super or 1660 with a 3 3100

[coral sable]

Yeah I've been looking for a 1650 super as well

[whole harbor]

550w psu

[ripe wedge]

ill throw it in for now but if you have room for budget on gpu ill see if 1660 super

[whole harbor]

1650s u can get for $170

[ripe wedge]

btw what case do u have

[coral sable]

That was my plan the whole time lol

[ripe wedge]

I wanna look at it

make sure these parts would for sure fit

[coral sable]

I gotchu lol

[whole harbor]

Is it matx

Atx

Or wat

[coral sable]

its pretty old since like i said ive been trying to do like a sleeper build

pretty sure its atx

[whole harbor]

U can get a cheap matx for like 37

from cooler master

Does it have built in fans @coral sable

[ripe wedge]

so yeah you dont really have budget to get a better gpu

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M6gbK3

its already $40 over

but there are some things I could cheap out a lil more on such as the storage and get 256gb

[weak field]

5600xt better than1650super?

[whole harbor]

yes

[ripe wedge]

in some ways

[whole harbor]

@ripe wedge the motherboard is in it alr

so it isnt $40 over

The case is trash holy

I reccomend a new one

Its so old

[ripe wedge]

whats it look like from the front

he wanted to make it a sleeper

looks like you will need fans too

[whole harbor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K2MbK3

[coral sable]

yeah some cheap fans lol

[ripe wedge]

oof u only have 2 pcie slots

also another issue

[whole harbor]

Updated it @ripe wedge https://pcpartpicker.com/list/K2MbK3

cause he alr had a mobo

[ripe wedge]

My pc just crashed so now I’m on my phone lol

[whole harbor]

And thers a new case

[ripe wedge]

Actually

[whole harbor]

He might as well get a new case with the $30

[ripe wedge]

I have a better case to recommend

[whole harbor]

Ok

[ripe wedge]

MB311L

It comes with 2 fans

[late helm]

Talk about a string of bad luck . New computer build first bad mother board , return bought another , Than a Bad cpu , did same Now 1 of 2 OloY memory was bad too ... never had this happen before

[ripe wedge]

@coral sable not too shabby

[coral sable]

yeah she's a worker lol

[whole harbor]

@ripe wedge so does the one i put in

1 back 1 front

[ripe wedge]

Oh it does?

[whole harbor]

@coral sable is $500 all you have

[ripe wedge]

I thought it only came with a exhaust

[weak field]

newegg should make a “make my pcpp list better” section

[whole harbor]

cause we can prob get a better gpu

[coral sable]

500$ is what im trying to spend

[weak field]

and then you post your list and they dm you the fixed version

imma be famous for that

[whole harbor]

@coral sable are u willing to risk performance

?

cause this could improve with some extra cash

[late helm]

OlOy for bad ram 1 have to RMA part to CA . Thhey foward to China .. Then China sends out new one that blows a month

[weak field]

oloy bad brand

[coral sable]

i could go with 550$

[weak field]

no trust

[ripe wedge]

the mb311l that I recommended is easier to cable manage in also

[late helm]

Im finding out the hard way

[whole harbor]

$550 hmm

[coral sable]

also i have 1tb hdd

[ripe wedge]

ah ok

well the ssd will be good to keep in

all modern systems need an ssd lmao

[coral sable]

is it better to get a cheaper sata sdd so i can have that as my bootdrive

[ripe wedge]

eh

that m.2 is already cheap

and it has good dram

its the best bang for buck

[coral sable]

oh ok

[ripe wedge]

it would be way faster than a sata ssd too

most sata ssds are maybe 500mbs but the m.2 is like 2gbps

[whole harbor]

U could get the 256gb m.2

[coral sable]

ahh gotchu

[whole harbor]

And have some extra cash

[ripe wedge]

@whole harbor the mp34 256gb was like $100 lol

[whole harbor]

oh wtf

[still bay]

since when did gigabyte make psu's?

[next kestrel]

since a while ago

[gritty zenith]

okay but what if i use my sata ssd as my boot drive and an nvme ssd as my game drive

[ripe wedge]

ah its out of stock

[next kestrel]

thats a bad idea

500gb is a good spot

[whole harbor]

Go amazon

$38

[ripe wedge]

amazon doesnt sell the mp34

[still roost]

dulvn#1815 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[ripe wedge]

I thought

[still roost]

dulvn#1815 has been kicked

Reason: Too many infractions

[ripe wedge]

F

[gritty zenith]

nop

amzn do

[brave axle]

Any good cases to fit a 3080 in under 100 ?

[vital warren]

atx or matx

[whole harbor]

Ive alr got banned now kicked lol

[ripe wedge]

oh yep its $35 on amazon

didnt know amazon sold it

[weak field]

HOWS HE BACK

[gritty zenith]

if you got a 3080 then u must have more than $100 to spare on a case lol

[ripe wedge]

it was only a kick

not a ban

[weak field]

homie just got kicked

[coral sable]

so its better to get the tam from amzon

[weak field]

how did they join that quick

[brave axle]

Don't own the 3080 yet lol

[gritty zenith]

oof

[weak field]

i was expecting like 5mins

[gritty zenith]

well

yet implies u got 3080 money

[ripe wedge]

@coral sable I mean would you rather have 256gb or for $20 more have 500 gb so u can have some games on ssd

[whole harbor]

@ripe wedge i got banned

[brave axle]

I do have the money but it is hard to find in stock lol

[whole harbor]

For 10mins befote

Before

[ripe wedge]

like gta needs an ssd lol

gta slow

[coral sable]

ahh that does make sense

[whole harbor]

gta could run at like 1080 60fps

If u go low settings

I think

[coral sable]

I probably shouldn't go ruthless on my build lol

[whole harbor]

Ive never played gta

[gritty zenith]

ah i forget is 3080 dual or triple slot

[brave axle]

And I'm sure in hill not buying it from ebay lol

[gritty zenith]

yeah no

ofc not

but you're gonna have to wait til at least like february march next year

[ripe wedge]

@whole harbor no he can be able to do 1080p 60fps high settings I think

[gritty zenith]

hopefully stock doesn't take til end of Q1 to come back

[ripe wedge]

my cheap build gets like 75 fps with a 1300x/gtx 970

[brave axle]

I know the amd 6800 coming out soon huh.

[coral sable]

is the thermaltake smart 500w worth the -10$

[vital warren]

no don't get a smart

[coral sable]

it's 80+ instead of 80+ bronze

[vital warren]

smart = bomb

[ripe wedge]

@coral sable no thermal take smart series are literal bombs

id stick to the one I sent

its cheap but good

I have a cv450W in my cheap build

[coral sable]

hmm

thank you lol

are the corsair vegence ram sticks good?

[ripe wedge]

eh

ryzen doesnt like them as much

id stick to the gskill ones

they also have lifetime warrantee if they die

and ryzen prefers fast ram

so thats why 3600mhz

[weak field]

awaabugh

[coral sable]

yeah ive been looking for 3600mhz sticks

[ripe wedge]

ripjaws are super good

basically everything I sent in that list is good

ur mobo will be fine tho

[coral sable]

are evga br bombvs?

[ripe wedge]

eh

they are alright

[coral sable]

they are a little cheaper than the corsair? is that worth?

[sinful hornet]

how much is a little

[ripe wedge]

the 550W also gives upgrade room for gpu

https://linustechtips.com/topic/1116640-psucultists-psu-tier-list/

heres the psu tier list

[coral sable]

ahh thanks

[ripe wedge]

btw do you have fans

for the case

or no

[agile sonnet]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/XyHBj2

hey guys could you critique my build?

[coral sable]

no i dont

well i think they're on the power supply

[ripe wedge]

@agile sonnet id suggest maybe getting instead of a sata ssd maybe get another m.2 because its about the same price for a 1tb such as the mp34. but its in Canadian money so not sure

[coral sable]

they just got ziptied to the psu

[ripe wedge]

because ur mobo supports 2 m.2s

[agile sonnet]

2nd m2 is like another 100$ now, the first 970 was on sale. its not anymore.

[ripe wedge]

also @agile sonnet id suggest getting 3600mhz ram

amd likes faster ram

[rotund spear]

Need advice want to be able to do gaming and do some light streaming via obs/twitch. Want best bang for buck. Obviously certain parts are out of stock but trying to be patient this is what I have so far as list. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Rybo1414/saved/G9GTnQ

[agile sonnet]

ok that shouldnt be too much of a difference , looking at about 10$

[ripe wedge]

@rotund spear id suggest getting a different m.2

that m.2 doesnt have dram

[coral sable]

thanks a bunch @ripe wedge

[spark raven]

Just to make sure im not wrong Elgato capture cards dont encode on their own they are meant to recieve a signal from another source and then output that to usually a streaming service

[ripe wedge]

so it wouldnt be great for the boot

only good for games

but even then dramless isnt great

@coral sable yw hope everything turns out great and if u need more help please let me know

[rotund spear]

So best m.2 nvme for boot?

[coral sable]

@ripe wedge are you on the server regularly?

and thanks i will

[ripe wedge]

@rotund spear id suggest for budget team mp34

or SN750

or SN850

[rotund spear]

Thanks

[ripe wedge]

SN850 would be way faster because its pcie gen 4

@coral sable and yeah im on this server just about every single day lol

@rotund spear another thing

your mobo

overpriced

iirc

[rotund spear]

Ya it out of stock for regular selling

So that’s a 3rd party selling price

[ripe wedge]

yeah thought so

[rotund spear]

Waiting for regular price

[ripe wedge]

how much more budget do you have?

[rotund spear]

That’s about it

[ripe wedge]

ah ok

so an mp34 would probably be the best bet

1tb

its cheap and good

has good dram

not really cheap but its bit less than others

[rotund spear]

I would love an aio and I just realized I need some case fans cause dynamic comes with I believe none

Argh

[ripe wedge]

yeah the dynamic 011 needs lots of fans

if you wanted a suggestion for a cheaper case id suggest the TD500 mesh

thats what I have

then maybe you could fit an aio into the budget

the td500 mesh comes with 3 fans

[rotund spear]

Not bad I like the white aesthetic lately so that’s what I’m going for if you couldn’t tell lol

[ripe wedge]

yeah even tho you wont be able to see the white psu lol

actually

maybe from the back

[whole harbor]

[bronze anchor]

[little osprey]

Guys I need some urgent help

I explained in #electronics

[still bay]

Hey so can someone help me out with fans? I have a gigabyte extreme master (whatever it’s the 2nd best it has 7 fan headers) and a o-11 dynamic. I want to put 9 fans in there so obv I need a fan hub what fan hub do I get I have the cooler master 120 mm fans and then also 3 EKWB fans for my AIO

[next kestrel]

the EK one should come with a splitter on its own

[still bay]

So a 3 to 1?

[next kestrel]

yeah

[still bay]

ok ty

[little osprey]

Guys im about to install hdd

Do i need to buy another sata cable?

[ripe wedge]

@little osprey check your mobo box and see if u have a spare one

they usually come with a few

[little osprey]

Idrk

[solid verge]

hard drives dont come with sata cables as far as i know.

[fervent oasis]

looking at the picture, I see one Sata cable connected. Are you adding a HDD or are you installing your initial drive?

[narrow rose]

they are really inexpensive if you do buy one buy 2 and have an extra

[stone pine]

You can use two HDDs on one SATA (If they have the extra connectors)

[still bay]

@little osprey i have never seen a motherboard that doesnt come with atleast2 sata connetors

and yours doesnt look especially low end so check around if u cant im sure u can find some on amazon for cheap

[sharp tundra]

Bruh, there's a NVMe M.2 drive for a camera

[lean shard]

pls halp

[stone pine]

[silent canyon]

anyone have a parts list for a 950$ gaming/streaming pc

[little osprey]

[lean shard]

oop nvm

[little osprey]

[stone pine]

@silent canyon https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dz6Q68

[little osprey]

im new to pc building whats a good motherboard for a ryzen 5 3600

[eager dawn]

im looking for my first build and im fairly set on the B550m steel legend from asus

if ur going for the 3000 series u can get away with 400 series MOBOs, but I dont know if they have gen4 support or not

gen4 PCIe

[little osprey]

ok ill have a look thanks

do you need to update the bios on it

[eager dawn]

not for the 3000 cpus

ud definitely be good right out the box

things to look for: a good vrm for overclocking, PCIe gen4 and maybe an m2 slot if u wanna boot off an nvme ssd, definitely would recommend

[little osprey]

good im just worried im gonna spend alot on this and it wont work so thanks for your help

[eager dawn]

anytime

dont bother with x570,470 mobos

ive compared a lot of mobos and a good 550,450 is generally more than enough

[stone pine]

PCIe Gen 4 is not necessary

It's faster but not necessary

If you go B550 then you won't have to upgrade if you want to upgrade your (AMD) cpu down the line to 5th gen

It's more expensive off the bat but you save money in the long run

[eager dawn]

5th gen is the zen3?

[stone pine]

Oop, my bad

I said 5th gen because they are 5000 chips

[eager dawn]

if u buy a 3000 series now by next year zen4 are coming out and they wont be am4 anyways

and by that time zen3 will be supported on 400 series

[little osprey]

is the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6G a good gpu or is there anything else you could recomend

[stone pine]

It's a good starting gpu

I still have a 1060 3Gb

[little osprey]

ok good

[old briar]

Guys, Can someone Help me make a parts list? Im looking to build a pc but I am legit clueless on parts. I Tried Making a list it end up over my Budget.
Budget: $1200
Im using it for Light Streaming, Gaming and Video Editing.

[eager dawn]

im the worst at budgeting

but try to look at websites prebuilt specs and price to get an idea

[stone pine]

I can make a list in a few min

[eager dawn]

@stone pine 's ur guy

@old briar https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZQgnt8

Try that out for size

Damn, Thank you @stone pine

@stone pine nice

[stone pine]

Hehe

[timber harness]

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/py9qp2

What would yall change, its a budget build

[eager dawn]

if u wanna cut down a bit get a smaller m2 ssd for boot and an hdd for storage, and go for a b450 instead of a b550

[stone pine]

budget build with 3070 lmao

[eager dawn]

worth

[stone pine]

Is 32 gigs necessary?

[eager dawn]

ah ya that too

8 is enough, 16 to be safe

[sharp tundra]

Corsair just let me down 😔

[stone pine]

What happened

[sharp tundra]

They failed the secret shopper test

https://youtu.be/Gz7WMF4wWko

They blamed it Covid-19

For their terrible buyers support and wait times

[stone pine]

@timber harness https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/4QNzfP

[sharp tundra]

Nice build

GL getting your hands on a 30series

You better be fast

[stone pine]

^^

Near impossible

[sharp tundra]

Like you gotta be faster than that 3070 itself

[stone pine]

Lmao yes!

[sharp tundra]

I gotta tag someone but I'm not scrolling through 30k names to try and find them

I have their build

[eager dawn]

set up a bot and ur golden

@sharp tundra dell was helarious

flat out scams

[sharp tundra]

They had no idea what the fuxk to do

[crude hazel]

do you want a finance?

we can add on top some anti virus programs

for free!

[sharp tundra]

Hey, you wanna warranty? No? Okay how about a warranty? Oh alright. So you wanted a warranty right?

[eager dawn]

they just added both warranty AND anti virus xD

[sharp tundra]

They "took off" $600 and put it back with all the BS she said she didn't want

[eager dawn]

that lady was high off her a$$

[sharp tundra]

And the "AMD is out of your budget"

Tf?

[eager dawn]

the audacity xDDD

[sharp tundra]

No one builds an intel computer and expects it to be cheap

Dell clearly has some priorities that need to be put in place

Origin was the best imo

Great customer service

WIDE range of budget PCs

The one they got was $1400, take it that they could've thrown in a 2070s with that spare budget

[eager dawn]

HP imo

they had it on point

from a customer support perspective

[umbral cedar]

but corsair and nzxt :omegalul:

[eager dawn]

big lols on them

Captain Sparklez under cover working for Origin

[crude vine]

Yeah, watching that Video, Out of those Services, Origin, Hp and Maingear was the best imo

[eager dawn]

window shopping hurts the heart

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y9Zcbh

[sharp tundra]

Indeed it does

I do it a lot

[timber harness]

I already have my hands on the card I added

The 3070 was secured a while ago

[still roost]

Baljeet#3354 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[timber harness]

Anyone want to reccomend a monitor

[eager dawn]

if u have the budget go with the Alienware AW2521HFL

[stone pine]

Preferred HZ?

[eager dawn]

the best one out there right now for 1080

[stone pine]

I have the MSI Optix MAG271C, amazing 1080p 144hz monitor

27 inches and curved

[sharp tundra]

Eww, no alien ware

LG

[eager dawn]

bruh

[stone pine]

Asus

[sharp tundra]

27gn950

Rog

27gn850 if you're on a budget

[eager dawn]

well this has definitely been a polarizing question

Anyone want to reccomend a monitor
@timber harness

[sharp tundra]

Both are 144hz

@timber harness LG 27GN850

Its 1080p at 144hz

If you want 4k, 144hz, go with th 950

But its about $425 more

[stone pine]

sheesh

[sharp tundra]

Yeah

[eager dawn]

no one can spit out 144 frames at 4k

[stone pine]

true

[sharp tundra]

LG can

[eager dawn]

no PCs

[stone pine]

gpu wise

[timber harness]

144hz at 2k

?

[eager dawn]

that's more reasonable

[stone pine]

yes

[sharp tundra]

I'm sure a 3090 could

[stone pine]

easily

[timber harness]

3070 can run 2k pretty good

[eager dawn]

wait for the 3000 titan

[timber harness]

Thats what im aiming for

But still want 144 hz

[sharp tundra]

3000 titan?

[stone pine]

3090 gets over 160 fps on Warzone at 1440p max settings

[sharp tundra]

Titan cards aren't meant for gaming?

[eager dawn]

im guessing they;ll release one

why not though?

[sharp tundra]

I haven't seen anyone put a titan card in a machine that was meant for gaming, thats why I assumed it wasn't a good gaming gpu

[eager dawn]

i assume thats because its overkill

[sharp tundra]

A 3090 is overkill, yet everyone wants one

[eager dawn]

and if the 3000 titan comes out people will defoz want it

[stone pine]

pfft 3090 is low end

780 ti gang

[sharp tundra]

That seems like a BiG IF

[eager dawn]

oh ya definitely

but imagine the content on utube

linus could have some fun with it

[sharp tundra]

I think we'll see Ti's and supers

But no in the 30 series

[stark tangle]

Bruh what , i have 2080ti and i have a 4k 144 monitor and can run at 144 in some games or close

[eager dawn]

uff @stark tangle way to take up all of the typing bar

[stone pine]

In Minecraft..?

[sharp tundra]

Eww intel

[stone pine]

RTX off

[eager dawn]

Bruh what , i have 2080ti and i have a 4k 144 monitor and can run at 144 in some games or close
@stark tangle care to send it my way 😇

[stark tangle]

Uhhh give me a 3090 and sure

U betcha

Wait the monitor or the card

[sharp tundra]

Card

Most likely

Brih, just buy a 2080ti

Still a great card

[stone pine]

yes

[sharp tundra]

Just gotta sell your first born for it

[stone pine]

get em for cheap

xD

[eager dawn]

i still have 2 kidneys

any takers

[sharp tundra]

And the people you try and SLI those puppies are just showing off how small of a weener they have

[eager dawn]

SLI's dead

[stark tangle]

My friend has a slid 2080ti rig its kinda pog

Same spec as me otherwise

[eager dawn]

whats the frame diff

[sharp tundra]

But why tho? Does he do youtube?

Does he have a reason to need 2 gpus?

[stark tangle]

Idk why lol why not?

If u can make something bigger do it

[eager dawn]

cuz 1G isnt worth a handful of frames

[sharp tundra]

But running 2 gpus for gaming drops your performance

I thought so at least

[stark tangle]

Anyone know the quality of SILVERSTONE LSB01 RGB LED HUB?
I’m building a rig that has a lot of rgb and 2 rgb headers won’t handle 9 fans so I’m looking around for a hub instead of A 1-2 splitter

If you respond to my question please dm me instead as I will be away for a few hours and won’t get any pings, thanks in advance.

[last rampart]

@brittle tinsel hi

[paper coral]

should i wait to get a pc?

[wheat zodiac]

do you guys know if my motherboard supports nvme

scouting for an nvme ssd in online shops

[stoic island]

What motherboard

[wheat zodiac]

A320m-k prime

I have 1 m.2 slot

Cpu is a ryzen 3 3200g

[uncut pelican]

should i wait to get a pc?
@paper coral what do you mean

[eager dawn]

@paper coral u can always justify waiting since tech advancements are always very fast and by the time u get a pc it'll be surpassed fairly quickly. Build a PC suitable to your needs and don't worry about what's coming out in the market

like now eg rocket lake will come out Q1 2021 and after that AMD zen4 will come out and so on and so forth

try to suppress buyer's remorse within ur soul and be happy with what u have

[mystic needle]

any recommendations for 850 watt power supplies?

[idle compass]

Can someone help me Im going to order and build my pc rn but I was going to get a rtx 3070 at release but didnt, what gpu should order to use until i get my hands on a 3070

[uncut pelican]

Ok so I think you should go with something cheaper so you dont spend a ton on a gpu then buy a 3070 @idle compass

[hoary lichen]

Whats the difference between the Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB PULSE BE Video Card
and the ASRock Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB Phantom Gaming D OC Video Card

That is cheap

[uncut pelican]

I am looking rn ill send the link ina sec

[idle compass]

Ok

u guys like the 5000 series from amd?

[uncut pelican]

Whsts your max budget for this gpu @idle compass

u guys like the 5000 series from amd?
@ebon matrix specs seems decent but I didnt buy one, i went with a 3700x and a 3070

[idle compass]

Whsts your max budget for this gpu @idle compass
@uncut pelican Like 300

[uncut pelican]

Very good

[little osprey]

u guys like the 5000 series from amd?
@ebon matrix i'd like it more if it was in my motherboard

How bout this guy bill?

Right at the top of your budget but is a decent value

[idle compass]

Ok

Thx

[uncut pelican]

Np

I wish 3070s were more widely avaliable

[idle compass]

Same

[uncut pelican]

They sold out so quickly

[little osprey]

I was wondering if someone could look over my build and tell me if it is decent

[uncut pelican]

Ill take a peek

[idle compass]

Yeah cause of people with bots

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

[uncut pelican]

Yeah those people are annoying

[little osprey]

Thats the part picker list

And my budget is 1000

[uncut pelican]

That is a decent build list very good

I have that mobo its pretty nice

[ebon matrix]

thats our list

[uncut pelican]

You will need a eifi card tho

Anyone here get a 3070

[little osprey]

Wdym?

thats our list
@ebon matrix

I made that list with my friend

[idle compass]

Oh you put the wrong link

[uncut pelican]

@idle compass im assuming you didnt get a 3070

[idle compass]

You have to put the sharable one

In the box

@idle compass im assuming you didnt get a 3070

is the corsair rmx 850 psu any good?

[weak field]

[uncut pelican]

Yessir

[little osprey]

@mystic needle what is it powering

[weak field]

no

phil swift

[little osprey]

Ye

[rigid stone]

so wait i gotta question

[little osprey]

phil doctor

[weak field]

the list up there is mine v

[uncut pelican]

Sorry i go by phil too on other servers lmao

[weak field]

?

[little osprey]

I changed it to the sharable link

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cJQ8Jf

[uncut pelican]

Dont get that case or psu

[weak field]

no the one before

[rigid stone]

this is my old ps4s storage drive does the ps4 use an hdd or a sata 6 gb ssd?

[mystic needle]

@little osprey what do u mean what is it powering?

[weak field]

no

[little osprey]

what gpu cpu etc

That is because it is not a sharable link

it just brings you to your list

[weak field]

oh

wait no

[little osprey]

Yes

[weak field]

i didnt have that case or psu in mine

i had a cooler master mwe

[little osprey]

Send ur build

[weak field]

idc i just thought it looked familiar

[little osprey]

Ok

[rigid stone]

sorry for that btw

ahh nvm im stupid it says it right on the front

[little osprey]

this my eventual upgrade list, already bought the mobo, just waiting on cpu availability + 6800xt drop
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZB3Rvf

[mystic needle]

@little osprey im planning on getting the new radeon rx 6800 and an amd ryzen5 5600x when it comes back in stock

[weak field]

different motherboard

my bad phil

[little osprey]

@little osprey im planning on getting the new radeon rx 6800 and an amd ryzen5 5600x when it comes back in stock
@mystic needle 850w is overkill for that IMO

650w would be more ideal

[weak field]

was confused as to of how familiar it was

guess there just good parts

[mystic needle]

i want to go a little higher for upgrades in the future

[uncut pelican]

Nice almost level 12 bois

[little osprey]

any single gpu rig is probably not using more than 650w anyway @mystic needle

[mystic needle]

hmmm

[little osprey]

it would take a ridiculous amount of power draw from cpu+gpu to cap out a 650w psu

[south jungle]

Building my first PC does anyone have any advice at all? I want to future proof it and eventually want to get VR

[mystic needle]

well i was going for a 750 watt psu

but it costed the same as the 850 watt

from corsair

[uncut pelican]

Makes sense to go with an 850w then

[little osprey]

or just find a 650w..

[mystic needle]

okay

[uncut pelican]

Yeah i went with a 650

[mystic needle]

do you have any recommendations for brands?

[uncut pelican]

On a psu?

[mystic needle]

yea

[little osprey]

I went with EVGA

They usually have pretty good fully modular

[uncut pelican]

Well its tricky

[little osprey]

I have a 750W gold for 90$

brands on PSUs isn't necessarily an indicator of quality

[uncut pelican]

I can link a few but whats your budget

[little osprey]

the OEM that makes it is what determines how "good" a psu is

[mystic needle]

oh okay

1500

whats oem?

[uncut pelican]

Just for the psu tho

[little osprey]

original equipment manufacturer

[weak field]

@south jungle whats the price point you targetting?

[little osprey]

@mystic needle Great Wall makes some corsair power supplies, corsair doesn't necessarily make all of their own

just like Superflower made my EVGA psu

and Seasonic for others

[south jungle]

At this point 2k but I initially only wanted to spend 1k-1.5k

[mystic needle]

@FiL like 130 for psu is fine

[uncut pelican]

Why does it need to be so high

Okok

[mystic needle]

also i see

[weak field]

thats what mine was

[little osprey]

Building my first PC does anyone have any advice at all? I want to future proof it and eventually want to get VR
@south jungle are you intending on an amd/amd build or intel/nvidia or what have you
it seems amd/amd is the "way to go" assuming the 6000 series turns out well

[weak field]

1-1.5k and then i was like oh well why not go all out

new parts this year first build

[south jungle]

From what I'm seeing AMD is the better brand

[hoary lichen]

Yea

[little osprey]

their newer cpus beat intels in single threaded so i would tend to agree

[weak field]

but the 6x00 series is gonna tank the price of the 30x0 series

[south jungle]

Since I eventually plan to start streaming

[little osprey]

amd will still be cheaper aside from the 6800

[weak field]

making them less valuable and easier to get

6800 better than 3070?

[mystic needle]

if only they were STILL IN STOCK

[little osprey]

yes by like 8-10%, supposedly

[weak field]

ill b back gotta go change my list

wait and cheaper?

[little osprey]

no

the 3070 is 500 the 6800 is 580

[weak field]

oh ill pass

[uncut pelican]

But amd doesnt have like dlss thats why i bought a 3070

[weak field]

already 250$ over

[mystic needle]

correct

[south jungle]

I have a friend that's getting me a 3070 or 3080 also so at this point just looking into everything else

[little osprey]

the 6800xt trades blows with the 3090 for 650$ tho

only 70 more than 6800

i feel like the 6800 is there to make people just spend the extra 70 for the XT lol

[uncut pelican]

School time cya later

[mystic needle]

what’s dlss

[south jungle]

AI

[hoary lichen]

Guys what is better

The ASRock Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB Phantom Gaming D OC Video Card

Or

The

Sapphire Radeon RX 5600 XT 6 GB PULSE BE Video Card

[south jungle]

The more expensive one lpl

[small osprey]

Sapphire better

[hoary lichen]

It got raised by 20 dollars yesterday im pretty sure of it

[white ermine]

Is anyone here really up to speed on raid with the x570? I’m having some issues.

[mystic needle]

@little osprey would it be a waste to buy the 6800 and not the 6800xt

[little osprey]

i think so.

the 6800 non XT is in a weird price bracket

it beats the 3070 but lacks DLSS, NVENC, RTX, GSync etc

[mystic needle]

what does that mean? :0

[little osprey]

so if you want to make the "most" of your money, the 6800xt makes more sense. but that's a 1440p/144hz or 4k 60+ card

it's nvidia proprietary stuff

if all you care about is performance you don't really have to worry about all that

[hoary lichen]

When i build my pc how do i install the drivers

[small osprey]

Download then

Th

[hoary lichen]

Im familiar with nvidia

[small osprey]

Them

[little osprey]

google whatever it is you installed and get the drivers online lol

[hoary lichen]

But not radeon

[small osprey]

And install then

[south jungle]

Any recommendations on cases? There's a lot to choose from. I want something that won't cause overheating. Just something with amazing airflow

[little osprey]

p300a, or any similar-tier case like the meshify C

depends on what form factor you want though, does the pc have to be smaller or is a regular mid tower fine?

[red oasis]

@south jungle cooler master makes good sober designs for good prices

[south jungle]

I mean the size doesn't really matter too much

I don't have a lot of room but probably a mid-tower size.

[idle compass]

What atx cases are good if your going to have a demanding system and need good airflow

[little osprey]

@south jungle https://pcpartpicker.com/list/c2dqmk

since you said friend was getting you a 3070, here's a good start.

[south jungle]

I can't use pcpartpicker it broken for me everytime I use it

[little osprey]

ill just s/s

[south jungle]

It's sad unfortunately

[hoary lichen]

Why get a cpu cooler

[little osprey]

i might have to find you a chipless update motherboard though

[hoary lichen]

Doesnt the amd cpu come with it

[little osprey]

stock cooler is "ok"

[quasi snow]

@idle compass How much do you want to spend on the case?

[little osprey]

but it's the wraith stealth cooler which is kinda meh

i would find aftermarket cooling for a 5600x tbh

[idle compass]

@idle compass How much do you want to spend on the case?
@quasi snow Up to 130 USD

[south jungle]

How do some of the builds have a GPU that's parallel to the motherboard?

[quasi snow]

The p500a Digital is a really good case for airflow

130 usd on the nose as well

[little osprey]

like connected but with the riser cable? @south jungle

[quasi snow]

you can get a vertical gpu bracket

[south jungle]

Maybe idk lol

[little osprey]

like that?

[south jungle]

Yes

[little osprey]

vertical gpu bracket with a pcie riser cable

[idle compass]

The p500a Digital is a really good case for airflow
@quasi snow Does it come with the rgb fans like in the photos

[south jungle]

Doesn't that cause latency?

[abstract garden]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dRYXy4 thoughts? (I already have the case thats why it’s $0)

[little osprey]

negligible

not enough to really matter

the real concern other than latency would be EMI imo

[south jungle]

Ah

[little osprey]

but most cables are sufficiently shielded

[south jungle]

What aEmi

[little osprey]

electromagnetic interference (EMI)

[south jungle]

Ah

I'm a noob

[little osprey]

but it's mostly a non issue since most riser cables are shielded properly

[quasi snow]

@idle compass Yes it comes with the three in the front

[little osprey]

@south jungle did a better mobo for you, supports chipless bios updates so no compatibility issues with the new 5k series chip if the mobo doesn't come with the proper bios, you can flash it via a usb stick

[south jungle]

Okay are there any good cases that look aesthetically pleasing that still have amazing airflow?

[little osprey]

the p300a or meshify C imo

no

[south jungle]

I noticed I can use the pcpartpicker but only view already made lists

[little osprey]

p300a without fans is poopy

[abstract garden]

hi @little osprey

[idle compass]

@idle compass Yes it comes with the three in the front
@quasi snow Are those good enough

[little osprey]

well ya, add fans

Okay are there any good cases that look aesthetically pleasing that still have amazing airflow?
@south jungle p360/nr600/td500 mesh/p400a

arctic p12 5pack in a p300a = good budget airflow case

at that point u can just get an nr600 or a p400a 😐

with subpar fans sure

naw p400a stock is just built diff

[south jungle]

Should I get tempered glass or no?

[little osprey]

if u want

imo tempered glass is a meme but it's up to you

tempered glass side panel

not front panel

i'd worry about it getting shattered

[idle compass]

How do you install a gpu

[little osprey]

acrylic is simple and durable if not a little scratchable

How do you install a gpu
@idle compass youtube exists.. also just pull back the pcie x16 tab and then push in

[red oasis]

Go see my build on #build-pics . I'm proud.

[south jungle]

I mean I kind of want to be able to see my components

[little osprey]

dope

i remember wanting a define r4 or whatever back in the day

totally enclosed case with padding etc

[south jungle]

Dope

[weak field]

i like the h510

looks nice

[ebon matrix]

yes

[weak field]

sucks

[little osprey]

h510 = bad with the single top exhaust

[south jungle]

Nzxt?

[little osprey]

otherwise it's not that bad

[south jungle]

I don't know about the cooling

[little osprey]

if the h510 had 240mm exhaust on the top it'd have been a phenomenal case but it would have ate into their higher priced cases sales

[weak field]

doesnt suck air

[south jungle]

The cooling is most important to me in the end

[little osprey]

meshify c or p300a like ive been saying

just gotta buy a sep pack of fans

[south jungle]

Okay lol

[weak field]

honestly when it comes to case for me looks>airflow

because if it gets too hot ill just take the side panel off

[little osprey]

cooling > design for me but many cases have good amounts of both

my 400c is plain jane but i like it and it flows air well

[weak field]

i dont want my pc to look like the flying machine from davinci

[little osprey]

remember the old nzxt phantom cases

yikes

gigabytes aorus board are really nice, expensive tho

im selling one kidney for a 3070 brb

[south jungle]

Yeah I think somewhere around 200$ is a good price

I choose the worst time to build a PC

[weak field]

nah

all the mid tier stuff is going to be cheaper becuase of the new high tier stuff knocking the price down

because

It's the best time with all the new stuff coming out but bad because of scalpers
