@little osprey your build will work
why ram change
also maybe upgrade the gpu to a 1660s and r5 2600 or r5 3600
i meant for the cpu on the r5's^
WHY RAM CHANGE
cApS
and yeah I was going to ask the same, you can get some corsair Vengeance ram for around 50$ used if you want
Ps5 your build is fine for the budget, if you can save a little more Id look at getting a better CPU
like what
maybe a 3600
o why
unless you get a good deal
o why
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RhLQ68 switched better ssd as well
Hey so Im building a budget pc and rn im thinking about using the ryzen 3100g but is it worth it to spend $10more for the 3300x?
Why are they out of stock xD?
yep
or gpu
g is a mobile processor?
ther out of stock
what do yall think of this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ I had a budget of $500 but i think i went over xD Its my first build.
?
@solar sigil so you cant take out the wifi adapter?
after you connect to wifi
ummm no? Im not sure i understand what youre asking but i think the answer is no
ok
Hello guys i want to build a pc can you help me?
budget?
1500
pound
i have found the parts
dont worry
i want an advice
can i send the parts?
Hi all - I am trying to build my first gaming computer, but I'm really nervous the items I've selected might not be compatible and/or fit w/ space in the case. I've done my research to make sure each item is compatible, but I'm definitely not an expert, and would love a second opinion! The only thing I'm not buying new is my power unit. Otherwise I have links to everything I have in my cart.
@obsidian dove thats the exact same as my old list just a different drive
it is amazing that i found such a community
cpu - amd ryzen 7 3800x
motherboard - msi mag b550 tomahawk
gpu-msi geforce rtx 2070 (or 2060)
ssd- samsung 860 evo 500gb
cassi-aerocool cylon white
ram-corsair vengeance rgb 16gb
psu-corsair txm 750W
cooler-nzxt kraken m22
WOW
@worthy flare could you send us links?
Can you put in a PcPartpicker list?
i got no money
@grim raptor alright, you already own the parts?
no sir
good
To start off, use this
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/
@worthy flare Full stop, your power-supply is the most important component next to the CPU. Buying a used one for your first build is something I would not suggest
Take a peek at this for reference of what I'd expect in a 1500$ PC
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/HhWv3C
@solar sigil it's my power supply from my previous build. I had a friend build it for me a few years ago
@worthy flare if you can load all your parts into a pcpartpicker list we can help a lot more
@stoic island So you think thats better?
@arctic jungle yeah its a prebuild through ABS
whyyyyyy
My current pc’s motherboard failed, so I’m just going to build a new one, but I was wondering, can I use the same HDD from my old build in my new one to transfer things like my games and files for school if I’m going to use a new hard drive for windows and stuff?
@solar sigil Thank you! Someone has currently DMd me to help, so I
if u won't build ur own
i'll hopefully get it solved there 🙂
redux is the BEST solution
i literally got into computers a month ago lol
rirwf
no reason not to build a pc
it's litterally just screwing in screws
and pluggin in wires
nothing hard about it ;-;
i know that now upgrades will be no issue i can afford it
mm well u should upgrade that mobo b4 it shorts
bet it's the lowest possible end mobo they could make work with it
same for the ram
yeah for sure those and the power supply are going first
alright sounds good the mobo is an intel 460b if thatt helps
nothing crazy but i havent seen anything too bad about it
however this was on the low end of its "grade'
guys what is wrong with this build
cpu - amd ryzen 7 3800x
motherboard - msi mag b550 tomahawk
gpu-msi geforce rtx 2070 (or 2060)
ssd- samsung 860 evo 500gb
cassi-aerocool cylon white
ram-corsair vengeance rgb 16gb
psu-corsair txm 750W
cooler-nzxt kraken m22
put it in a pcpp list
get a 5000 series ryzen
not really
Can someone make me a parts list for 1500 or send me a link to a good prebuilt for that amount please
its decent
everything in that build is wrong.
except maybe psu
but i doubt it
no
actually scratch that
@grim raptor what's ur budgrt i'll make a pcpp
@grim raptor have you built it or looking for advice?
Can someone make me a parts list for 1500 or send me a link to a good prebuilt for that amount please
@oak galleon haha almost had me there
'good prebuilt around that price'
no.
Lol oof
there are no good prebuilts.
Always build your own imo
What about a parts list
I can get you one if you would like
So I need some help. I just built my pc and it only loads into bios. Why?
I would appreciate it
I got you
Just figured it out lol
2070 is to exp
maybe even a cheap 2070s i know theres some for like 460ish
shmeh
shmeh?
could be better
yeah maybe
Best build for $2,000?
5600x/3070 prolly
best build for 1500?
the 3800x is a bad buy, its worth waiting for the 5600x
unless you really need 8 cores, which i doubt
a 120mm aio cooler for 80 dollars is a bad deal, the stock cooler is good enough on the 5600x
but if you wanted, you could still get an aio, as long as its a 240+
@viral ore
is it better to go with a 3600 with a gpu in a $750 build
Or a 3100 and 5600xt
dulvn you've been asking stuff like this daily for a week now
with what gpu
If ur gaming probably 3100+ 5600
@grim raptor https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rnQ4sX thoughts?
yeet


@viral ore wasn't that one of the worse performing 5700xt
so uhh im new here and I assume that we can ask for building advice here?
hot and loud
nice and hot
thoughts? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rBP4sX
i feel like dropping an extra $20-30 for a nitro or pulse is worth
it has ryzen 5 3600
amd radeon 5600 XT
16 gb 2x8 3200 mhz
asus tuf b450+ motherboard
650w semi modular PSU
and my monitor runs 165 fps
ABOUT 1.2K BUDGET
oops caps
Give me an opinion
@little osprey is this for gaming or what
Arctic freezer ii 280 vs nh-d15
2700x for $213.94 is a really bad price
for gaming streaming and editing
in which priority
the 2700x trades blows with the 3600 in productivity and gets thoroughly beaten in gaming
so you should just get a 3600
this is also really overpriced for 3200c16 ram
what about mine]
dude one at a time i am a human
i was debating whether to get the 2700x or the 3600 so thanks
yeah raw core count isn't always the most important number
otherwise 16-core opterons from 2011 would be 
oh wow there is some 3600C18 ram on sale for $52 right now
why am i ignored :((
also, did you mean to not have an ssd?
@glacial pollen dude did you not see when i said "one at a time"
lmao
i forgot to add it
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YCLZwz so i'd do something like this, i really don't recommend buying a brand new 20 series at this price but if you really want to then this is a better price than what you had
is a western blue 500GB good?
U could get crucial p1/mp34
could someone help me finding good parts for my gaming pc? I have a lianli case (lancool 2 i think, not the one with mesh or whatever), coolermaster ml240l, and am planning on getting the 6800xt (or whatever was similar to the rtx 3080 idk lol) and the crucial mx500 ssd. i have no idea what to get for the other parts and would really like help olololol.
Wait so sips from a performance standpoint alone is the arctic freezer ii worth it over nh-d15
@earnest olive I've seen that wd blue m.2 so many times today
@glacial pollen sounds fine but what psu specifically
its micro center in house brand
@solar sigil tbh it's common, can't really blame people for just sorting price by lowest
no its best rn
i hear it doesnt last long
Why would it be bad
if people don't know the difference between two drives then why not just buy whatever is cheapest
better than sata at least
M.2 is great but certain model m.2s are bad
m.2 is a physical connector lol
m.2 is not better than sata
m.2 can be sata
the wd blue m.2 is a sata drive
sata more annoying to wire i mean
sure
i mean like external sata not mobo m.2
if you don't have a P0 screwdriver then m.2 is more annoying
because then you have to go get a P0 screwdriver
Tru
SATA drives, for all their shortcomings, use the same screw heads as every other screw in the system
yeah but its kinda essential
anyways
there's 3 different electrical standards for m.2 right now
sata, pcie 3, pcie 4
also, many ssds last longer than hard drives
team mp34 1tb has a write endurance of 1660 terabytes
good luck burning through that as an average consumer
the tech will be irrelevant before you can kill that thing
I’m saving up for a bother piece to my current build. I still need to buy my gpu (which I will have to wait until the 3070s are back in stock) my drives, my cpu cooler, and my ram. Which should I buy first?
Another*
depends on how long you're taking to buy everything
prob 3070 since stock go brrrr
you need to buy everything close enough to each other that you can use warranties/returns if it doesn't work
always chance of defective parts
yeah
drive prices are fairly stable
when i booted my first pc it wasnt working and i was like noo but we yoused magic yt for help
Hopefully I can keep using the 2060 I have for quite some time but the hype of the 3000 series is tempting asf
2060 normal or supa?
Normal. Had it for a few years
it should still run valorant at 60fps and other games well
i have 5600xt and it runs welll
my first build worked perfectly fine first try... my 20th build had 6 defective parts
20th???
@earnest olive for a $750 pc 3100 and 5600xt or 3600 and some gpu?
rip
3100
Ok
I think the super came out right after I got mine
oof
yes i build a lot of pcs
there is no 2060ti
oh im dumb
however there is a 3060ti
We wildin
there were already preorders for it in china so it's basically confirmed now
Naming schemes go brrrrrrrr
a pc that works is infinitely more attractive than a pc that does not work
yeah
we had to hjave it cheaper but im annoyed since i got more money after so i couldve gotten better stuff
lol
can't say i'm proud of myself
whats ur buidl?
what specs
i can't post pics yet, waiting for it to be complete with upgrades
oh ok
right now it's just 3600x + 1060
could someone help me with my first build? i can name parts that i have (which is only the case and cooler) and plan on getting.
waiting to drop in rx 6800xt then see if i need a 5600x
@sick tapir just use a pcpartpicker list
is the 5600x radeon series?
ohhh
ok
srry i frogot about 5000 series
are radoen gpu's good?
will wait for benchmarks
if not defective then yes
meanwhile my pc can't even hold 30 frames on watch dogs 2
lol
dude
low settings
people with 3090s are getting bad fps in that game
it's even worse optimized than crysis remastered apparently
WD 2 or 3?
2
blame the game not ur system :v
it runs so bad
isnt like the 5600x better than i9?
Yikes
new one yeah]
but the new one runs like garbage on 3090 apparently
they all seem terribly optimized
which is kinda funny because nvidia chose to bundle it with their 3080 and 3090
Ubisoft games are pretty badly optimized
hmmm so waitng for 6800?
really good first impression for their card LOL
i downloaded the new assassin's creed but haven't even tried to run it
valhalla?
it looks fun
never played assassins creed before but i got a free code
oh nice
hey if you get it for free try it, people like the new assassin's creed style of gameplay of RPG
i got 2 free codes not really sure what i want to do with the other one
gimme xD
maybe give it to friend or sell it
gib :v
actually sell for like 50% maybe 75%
i am the rules
yes

My SATA power doesn’t work. What do I do? This isn’t a new PC.
what about it?
When building a parts list on newegg, will it allow you to ONLY add parts for the PC you're building that are compatible with the motherboard and/or tower, or will it just let you order and make you find out the hard way?
it should only allow compatible parts, but pcpartpicker is much better imo
pcpartpicker will tell you and not let you buy incombatible parts if possible
I c, OK, thanks! Do you know if they will also have a Black Friday sale?
@viscid sleet it will let you add parts based on their system (tag based), which is not a guarantee that things will work
nor is it a guarantee that you are seeing the full product catalogue
hence why people here prefer to use pcpp
ahh
I want a shopping bot so I can fight fire with fire
Hello guys, I am trying to put a pc together for church. It will not be used for gaming. Only for streaming two cameras. I was thinking Ryzen 7 3800X but what would be a good GPU since gaming will not be the focus??
Most of them you need to pay for

If it isn’t for gaming a 1000 series nvidia gpu should suffice
Samsung 970 Evo plus 1TB for $142.49 - worth it?
Holly
Something around $150 or less will get you enough to stream two cameras
@minor zodiac 3600
3800 is WAY overkill for what you’re gonna do
What would be a good cpu and gpu then? We planning to stream two cameras to facebook and youtube at the same time as well as recording the service to the computer
And even then i think you could get away with a 2600, i dont know whay kind of high rez two cam stream set up your church is gonna have
3100-3600 cpu and a 5500xt gpu would be fine I’m sure. Maybe bump to 5700xt
We have sony hxr nx100 with el gato capture card
Church pc 😳😳
If you have a capture card then you can even consider a cpu with integrated graphics
Use Ethernet cams and not even use a cpu besides programming
Naed helped me with this list I think, I'm just curious if theres any way to save more money? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NDtNPV
you stepped down the gpu
from which to which
from what you had last i saw that list
because that PSU is way above
yeah i know
Get rid of aio
how much wattage should my psu have if i got a 5600x and hopefully a 6800xt soon
450 min
the price once dropped to $1015
What temps do you guys think the Galahad 360 will do on on ryzen 7 3700x? Under load and idle?
can you believe that lmao
650w is minimum recommended from AMD @vague knot
I’d go with 750w
Incl
I got an rm650x rn but i'm not sure if it will do the job
It should
we dont know how the specific parts scale wattage wise yet @vague knot
when is the 5600x going in stock
prebuilt companies already have them in stock
No one knows
mk
when you see it, its in stock
well yall got rtx cards
not in the US when you need them
Oh well yeah we have best buy
Kind of useless thi
Tho
some people actually use FE cards
fair point
reliability
my friend got one simply bc it was directly manufactured from nvidia
considering the 3080 scandal
like bRuH ok
i mean like its $500
but those are expensive
At this point it isn’t really about choosing which based on branding or pricing, but choosing based on availability
naw id still avoid msi even if it was available
though focussed on RX now
the stock coolers were helping the CPUs w cooling too!1!
I mean, stock coolers usually get outperformed by the other gpus but nvidia did a pretty good job with this fe
Not too bad for the cheaper price
considering the partnered companies need to make money out of selling the cards
and they also need to be shipped to those factories
FE should be best price to performance
I’m just so eager to finish my build... bought everything but cpu and gpu about a month ago thinking I’d be able to get a 5000 series amd cpu and at least a 3080 but I couldn’t get a cpu and is looking like getting the new amd gpu is going to be an impossible task
@balmy patio I summon you
did you get a new case?
haha, what made you route ur gpu cables over the top instead of bottom?
was it jus a personal preference?
hahahah
whats a thing
The gpu cables being route from the bottom
in my opinion it looks cleaner
and it gives you space to look at the 24 pin connector
I just go against the grain I guess
Since they're match cable sleeves it looks nice too
yeah
Big chungus can breathe now
are you going to show us what's behind the back panel 😳
lmao
haha as expected
But since I summoned you I used my first wish
My second is to bring lord frieza back to life
Oh wait wrong movie
I broke my sata connector to my wd blue 1tb
eh they're not that expensive
nice
Take care bro and good luck
thx
Hey so how do I get my ram to run at advertised speeds. 3000mhz vs what ever it is now
have you enabled xmp?
Go into bios
And look for either xmp or whatever the amd version of xmp is
And enable it
I haven’t. Thanks. Couldn’t remember what it was.
No problem
Good evening
Yo I need help
ask
So I’m getting a WiFi card does it matter if I get like WiFi 6
Like would my router support it
whats ur router
I got xifinity
are you renting or your own router
Our own router
so whats the router
Wdym
How do I check
look at it
^^
@rancid oasis if you didn't buy the router, 95% chance it's ac or maybe even n
Looks like this
i was thinking the same,xfinities rentals has caught up i got my mom their newest 2in1 combo and it supports wifi 6
is thatan xfinity router
95% chance it's ac or maybe n
its an ac
i donr think it is
So what can it support @idle hawk
2.5 and 5ghz bands
no 2.4
So would it be like WiFi 4
oh i have ac then
and 2 different access points
802.11n is on 2.4ghz, 802.11ac is 5ghz, 802.11ax should be 5ghz, there's also like a 6g varient
we wont kno for sure unless he shows us the model number
It’s says 2,4 ghz and 5ghz
I will join thid convo because i also need a wifi card
Lmao
as a certain soemone said "I'd like to use Arcane Recovery"
@uncut pelican ac or ax
what wifi speeds
Hello
hello
wassup metro
400 wifi and 1200 for eithernet @stoic island
What type of WiFi card should I get then ?
hm
maybe you want ax then
this is ac, lemme grab a link for an ax one
https://www.newegg.com/tp-link-archer-t6e-pci-express/p/N82E16833704274
Should I pay 825 for the Aorus 3070 Master
how do u get to be a regular+/
@left shore no
Why
Is it not worth that?
no metro GET OUT OF EBAY BRO ITS KILLING YOU
Lmaooo I want a 3070 so bad
So which one of those links @stoic island
2nd
What should i cann you, mr1111?
you have fast enough speeds to maybe start using ax at some point
whats a good cheap wifi card
cann?
like 1200mbps, that's nearing the top end of ac
like atleast $15 and below
any upgrades and you'll be in ax territory
How will i need if my router supports wifi 6
Are you sure my router supports WiFi 6 @stoic island
metro stg ima ddos your network lmao stop bro
it's backwards compatible
@uncut pelican just look at what it says on the router
if it's ac, might want an ax router
but either way
AX wireless adapter is backwards compatible too
I think imma just go with WiFi 3
How much is the value of a EVGA 2070 XC Ultra
I can't find many online
Only seen one for like 420
Time to look at router
Oof my nick was changed
What ac I’m confused
@rancid oasis @uncut pelican standards
like my computur
802.11ax is also known as wifi 6
802.11ac also known as wifi 5
802.11n also known as wifi 4
802.11g wifi 3
802.11b wifi 2
802.11a wifi 1
What is that one
What is that
cant wait to gte mt ip grabbed
Wdym
if u click legit any random link on discord ur ip might get taken
why did that lead to wikipedia
legit the home screen of wikipedia
Idk
u like rust?
So shiny
Rgbad
Welp ima just hope that wifi card works
@split robin I'd switch the CPU and GPU AIO. GPU outputs more heat and can be OCed, CPU cant due to mobo and potentially CPU model (example, non K model)
is this good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dphfvf
??? chill
hmmMMmMm
i'm busy right now i'm not being paid to do this
lol sorry
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Dhfvf@latent jasper I changed out the cooler other than that I like it
k
this time is precious
do you think i am a tech support slave or something
Yes

@latent jasper whats ur budget
675-700
ok
Wait
@latent jasper currency
Like usd?
Cad?
And whats the purpose of this pc ur builsing
what
us dollars
gaming/workstation
i mean, thats some sketchy ram and case
can you find really bad ram?
also not the best mobo
@whole harbor do you prefer this one https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MQMsLP ???
@latent jasper https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GKMsLP
@grim raptor im not the best with high budgets
@whole harbor i want to keep the nzxt case, i like the look
can you help me fit that in?
@whole harbor ohhh okey
uhh ill see
We might have to risk some performance
@stoic island help @grim raptor
oh
I said might t nice
ok
wat u need
hey guys so when i have msi afterburner open and i have "enable hardware monitoring and control" turened on, my pc will crash after i put it too sleep, super weird problem, any fixes?
its fine
20 dollars is not that bad
hlp
what is the performance difference between the 580 and 1660
prety meh
no
thats not a must have tho
😔
Its on a good discount
tell them no to nzxt
Work
it's a 4 core zen+ chip
I never did
someone else might've
ryzen APUs make no real sense to me
mx330-g air is great smh
Why no to my psu?
It was a good price
For 550w
80+bronze
37.99
is a good pricr
@stoic island
CV <650w is sus
K
tier d
Thats ltt tier list
Is gtx 1660 super a motherboard?
no, its a graphics card
i think ive decided on this, thanks for all the help guys!!! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZFLGLP
uhhhh
theres a b550 version of that motherboard for like 15$ more
@latent jasper why?
support for later cpus
that list isn't making sense to me
@stoic island wdym why?
downgrading the CPU to a slower CPU for gaming
downgrading the motherboard to an older generation for the older generation CPu
yeah but there is more cores and i think the work is more of a priority
downgrading the ssd
the ssd does not matter
@latent jasper what work do you do that needs 6 cores
its good to have it in case i need it for later on
ssd having dram matters
@latent jasper Just going to tell you, most 'work' tasks are more single threaded
and will perform better on the 3100 than 2600
Not if it's going to be a downgrade, it's not worth it
damn u convinced me lol
like unless your work is video editing
it's not gonna need more cores
say if you're doing word
or sheets
iirc stock software also benefit more from single thread perf
Someone should totally dm me and help me decide on what parts to buy cause idk what to do
What do you want it for?
whats your budget?
what headset u got
What are the specs of the monitor?
Logitech g pro
Would a 1440p 240hz monitor or a 360hz monitor give u a better exper
Experience
This 180hz asus one
1500$ PC list, a bit of leeway in budget for periph upgrades if necessary
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/HhWv3C
@fleet pagoda I prefer 1440 but it is preference
Thank you! Much appreciated
@mint fable 1080p or 1440p 180hz?
I might recommend upgrading to the 5800x
hm?
1080p you will be bottlenecked by the monitor
I hate 5800x's price point atm, 450$ makes no sense for it
and that's why I asked for monitor
well, part of it
I'd rather suggest 1440p with a 3080
This 180hz asus one
@mint fable ew
1080p
300 hz or nothing
I have a 1440 144hz ,and I love it
hm
300hz razer laptops lolololololol
Anyone know why my wraith prism wont spin
@mint fable so, for all of your periphs, did you just recently get them (within return period), or have you already owned them for months?
@rustic sandal check connectors :P
It spun and then I installed another case fan and now it isn’t spinning
I've owned them for months
@mint fable so, for all of your periphs, did you just recently get them (within return period), or have you already owned them for months?
@stoic island razer periph gang gnagGG
woo
I didn’t move anything, just put the case fan on a chassis fan connector
there's better stuff to be had, but good nuff.
I will probably upgrade resolution before I do refresh rate
1440p is real nice to look at
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kWhfvf final ???
why?
the ba was 10 dollars more expensive
I would recommend bumping to a 512 gig ssd and dropping the hdd
Then getting a better power supply
nothing wrong I can see
do take note that its c18 and it might have sum type of cheaper lower-end die
Can someone check this (i had to change it bc most the parts keep going offsale and i want to be ready for black friday)
what
@balmy patio I know of exactly 0 3600c18 b die
3600c16 b die is rare too
3600mhz 16-16-16-36, which is expensive, is low end b die
not cl18
and most 3600c16 kits are 16-19-19-39, most likely DJR
1k for vr gaming and streaming
ahhhh i see
my 1k list got screwed over
sadly
but I'll still link it
prices are all wack
I'd have to make some edits
but a reference
@stoic island @latent jasper https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jeremiah_k/saved/#view=fvbPXL
wip?
no hhd?
2080super
3070 half tha price
i see
bit
I have that case, wouldn't really recommend
thats budget is tight
hm?
i like the 205 it looks really good
Oh... Hang on
i dont have it tho
I'm saying my 1000$ list is tight
K
wip?
Lian Li is a pretty good company from what i can tell
