exotic saddle
#

looks good?

stoic island
#

190$ on the motherboard still bothers me

#

I'd get crucial 3600c16 for the e die

#

and uh

#

mp34 >:D

drifting garnet
#

Yeah the cpu and gpu isn't the best for gaming in that price.

exotic saddle
#

dw bout gaming, like i said he doesn't play high demand games

#

I'd get crucial 3600c16 for the e die
@stoic island the current ram not good?

fair birch
drifting garnet
#

I mean, its fine then I guess

fair birch
#

its the best airflow case apparently

exotic saddle
#

guys newegg is being illegal

stoic island
#

it's good

#

but micron e die is BETTER

exotic saddle
#

they say 74.99

#

save $5

cold jewel
#

It is fine ram but you could probably find memory in the range with a better die so that you can OC if you wanted. @exotic saddle

fair birch
#

but micron e die is BETTER
@stoic island what

exotic saddle
#

but its already 74.99

#

illegal

balmy patio
#

exotic saddle
drifting garnet
#

exotic saddle
#

#

NO THE 5600XT IS OUT OF STOCK

#

there goes my budget gpu

fair birch
#

oof

#

you can wait right

stoic island
#

@celest horizon you got anything that can explain b die and micron rev e (in terms of OC capabilities)?

exotic saddle
#

i need the pc before novemeber

#

so not really

fair birch
#

oof ok

celest horizon
#

the overclocking wiki

exotic saddle
#

is the rx580 any good

fair birch
#

not really

cold jewel
#

No @exotic saddle

celest horizon
cold jewel
#

Not compared to the 5600XT

exotic saddle
fair birch
#

what is you budget for the gpu

exotic saddle
#

hows this

#

400 budget

fair birch
#

ok

exotic saddle
#

oo tysm

#

damn i was gonna get a 5600xt for $240

#

a steal

fair birch
#

oof

#

i found a 5700xt

#

in your budget

#

i really suggest you get it

exotic saddle
#

lets see it

fair birch
exotic saddle
#

yoo thats gonna go so well with the red black theme build

fair birch
#

nice

#

theres a phantom gamin case but its overpriced

#

no offence but i can probably find you a better looking case

exotic saddle
#

a black case thats cheap and comes with 3 fans?

fair birch
#

nah yeah lol

#

i was looking but no

exotic saddle
#

top it if u can lol

cursive magnet
#

Cooler master TD500 mesh

#

@exotic saddle

exotic saddle
cold jewel
#

Looks good

exotic saddle
#

yup ty

stoic island
#

works

cold jewel
#

I mean the memory could be a little better but if you don't really care about overclocking don't worry about it

exotic saddle
#

now time to see microcenter if i can get these for cheaper

cursive magnet
#

@exotic saddle, team mp34 ssd??

fair birch
exotic saddle
#

not planning on overclocking

stoic island
#

there's like 80$ that can be shaved off without compromising much on quality

exotic saddle
#

is the memory enough to play vanilla minecraft?

fair birch
#

yeah

cold jewel
#

Of course

exotic saddle
#

is open box worth it?

fair birch
#

yes

stoic island
#

meh

#

it's a risk

fair birch
#

open box is new

#

dude

exotic saddle
#

its returned though

#

why would they return it

fair birch
#

open box and new are almost the same thing

exotic saddle
#

if it wasn't perfection

fair birch
#

idk

#

do the pictures look good

obsidian temple
exotic saddle
#

open box is when a customer buys it an dreturns it for some reason, not when some kid decides to bite the box

stoic island
#

ram a bit expensive

fair birch
#

a bit lol

stoic island
#

mobo really expensive

fair birch
#

thats very overpriced ram

obsidian temple
#

yeah, i just cant find anything that looks nice

#

with those specs

stoic island
#

like X570-plus wifi is just expensive, it's x570 so that justifies some of the cost

fair birch
#

dude trust me, ram rgb is nearly worthless

stoic island
#

a 210$ b550 board is just

#

unless it has crazy features

#

no

cursive magnet
cold jewel
#

RAM RGB is nice

fair birch
#

gtg

cold jewel
#

But those sticks are quite over the top

cursive magnet
#

Asus prime x570 pro is roughly same price but better specs

obsidian temple
#

im new to pc building

#

i need wifi tho

#

all i want is a good wifi mobo

exotic saddle
#

Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard for $190

obsidian temple
#

ik that one

cold jewel
cursive magnet
exotic saddle
#

u can def go cheaper

stoic island
#

B550 aorus elite ax is great when it's in stock again

#

150$ for great stuff

cold jewel
#

Actually no

#

Get the B550

exotic saddle
#

whats the best ram i can get here

#

except the hawk ones they ugly

little osprey
#

How much does the 6800 gpu cost?

stoic island
#

bottom left

obsidian temple
#

How much does the 6800 gpu cost?
@little osprey 580 usd

exotic saddle
#

aight

cursive magnet
#

649

drifting garnet
#

Depends if u want rgb or not

exotic saddle
#

ripjaws it is

#

im lock and set

little osprey
#

Should i get the 3070 or 6800?

drifting garnet
#

Ripjaws is the best value

obsidian temple
#

i was wondering that too

vestal wraith
#

3070

exotic saddle
#

i say 3070

#

good luck finding one though

stoic island
#

580 for 6800

obsidian temple
#

lol

stoic island
#

both are gonna be hard to find

drifting garnet
#

Yeah

vestal wraith
#

3070 is a 2080ti at less than half the price, similar power draw to 6800

#

Just go 3070

obsidian temple
#

i replaced my ram with the ripjaws

exotic saddle
#

i can give you a paragraph on why nvidia > amd for gpus written by someone who works at nvidia

#

biased viewpoint but still

stoic island
#

lol

obsidian temple
#

lol its like 40 usd cheaper

stoic island
#

I want it

vestal wraith
#

Still tru

exotic saddle
#

ok let me look for it

stoic island
#

@exotic saddle tell them GO TO TSMC ALREADY SMH

little osprey
#

Im gona start ordering parts for my pc soon and each part will come in like 2-4 weeks to my country and gpu is gona be the last thing i order so i think in about 3 months 3070 should be avalable a lot?

vestal wraith
#

I’m gunna get mine around February

drifting garnet
#

It'll definitely be more available than it is now

vestal wraith
#

So ye 3 months is ok

stoic island
#

who knows

#

we can't predict stock situation

drifting garnet
#

Because that is after the holidays

obsidian temple
#

after amd launches their gpus nvidia will get a chance to create stable stock cuz a lot of people will buy amd

vestal wraith
#

Tru

exotic saddle
vestal wraith
#

I mean he spittin fax

exotic saddle
#

but this is his response to my question if he would buy an amd card

stoic island
#

ofc

vestal wraith
#

Nvidia is superior

stoic island
#

@exotic saddle but might want to mention limited Nvidia RTX and DLSS support

vestal wraith
#

And catchin up but nvidia still on top

stoic island
#

since AMD will be using the dx12 rtx

#

if everything uses dlss

small osprey
#

doesnt the 6800xt have like dlss and ray tracing too

stoic island
#

easy asfff 3080 choice

exotic saddle
#

yes ofc

obsidian temple
#

16g vram

stoic island
#

AMD doesn't have dlsss

obsidian temple
#

6800

small osprey
#

no?

exotic saddle
#

i forgot which card had it but it was something about linking

small osprey
#

hm

stoic island
#

they have a weird upscaling thing that's no dlss

exotic saddle
#

i think it was amd?

stoic island
#

DLSS 2.0 looks really good

exotic saddle
#

prob is amd makes more sense

stoic island
#

for Nvidia

exotic saddle
#

ty to you guys for helping me improve it

#

its lock and loaded

vestal wraith
exotic saddle
#

no final concerns?

cold jewel
#

They claim the knock off DLSS is better than Nvidia's but I can't quite see how.

stoic island
#

uh

vestal wraith
#

Shadow quality a lil low and more blurring

stoic island
#

6800xt isn't out yet I'm pretty sure?

vestal wraith
#

Pre order

drifting garnet
#

@exotic saddle it looks good

stoic island
#

no I mean the NDA on the reviews

obsidian temple
#

if theres a 3070ti i might get it

stoic island
#

so I have no idea where they'd pull the 6800xt benches from

obsidian temple
#

speculation

vestal wraith
#

A 6800xt

obsidian temple
#

most likely

viral ore
#

what a clickbait video

fossil halo
#

i want a 6500xt

vestal wraith
#

U do realize people do pre orders right

stoic island
#

what

#

that's not how preorders work

fossil halo
#

like they should make one

cold jewel
#

But it isn't out?

stoic island
#

it's not out yet

#

you can't buy them

exotic saddle
obsidian temple
#

plus jay2cents and paul hardware got 6800s

stoic island
#

Yes

viral ore
#

that vid gives absolutely zero info whatsoever

vestal wraith
#

It is people have them go look at them people made vids on it

stoic island
#

but they are under NDAs

cold jewel
#

^

stoic island
#

@vestal wraith NDAs

obsidian temple
#

okay wait

vestal wraith
#

Tf is nda

obsidian temple
#

better?

stoic island
#

non-disclosure agreement

cold jewel
#

They can't go over benches

obsidian temple
#

oops

fossil halo
#

wonon LMFAO

vestal wraith
#

Noice

stoic island
#

why else are there no real 6800xt reviews?

#

because they're under NDAs until the cards release

obsidian temple
exotic saddle
#

you can do reactions like that? since when

cold jewel
#

They can only review certain things about the card.

obsidian temple
#

there

exotic saddle
fossil halo
#

yea LMFAO

stoic island
#

everything right now are only leaks

fossil halo
#

ltt

#

made

stoic island
#

they're not allowed to give us actual info

fossil halo
#

a vdieo

exotic saddle
#

i cna't do it what

#

what is this sorcery

vestal wraith
#

They didn’t give info

#

Just wat it can do

stoic island
#

yes

cold jewel
#

They can't give benchmarks

stoic island
#

they're not allowed to give benchmarks

fossil halo
#

yea

stoic island
#

all of those are only leaks

fossil halo
#

benchmarks are leaks

#

but like size and stuff is kpublic info

vestal wraith
#

It ain’t an official bench it’s just “hey look at this and how it compares to this”

little osprey
#

What’s some good 3600mhz laptop ram

stoic island

lol

fossil halo

yea

stoic island
#

that's what isn't allowed

crimson nimbus

Hi I'm new here and this is probably a common newbie question. I want to upgrade my motherboard/CPU/Ram and keep my existing drives/graphics card/power supply/fans. What resources would you recommend for finding compatible items that will install easily?

viral ore
#

@vestal wraith that video is a sham, ignore it

stoic island
#

otherwise we'd be all over GN's video already

#

yea

fossil halo
#

um

stoic island
#

@crimson nimbus well, find what you have, and we can look over it for ya

viral ore
#

besides, that vid doesnt give any relevant info

#

all it lists is average and low framerates

exotic saddle

pc part picker tells you

fossil halo
#

tycho iirc changing a mobo is going to register ur system as a new one so u have to get windows all over again

vestal wraith
#

JayzTwoCents made a vid watch it

viral ore
#

which is meaningless without context

exotic saddle
#

or u can go overkill and get pc building simulator

exotic saddle
#

my friend has a bulky gaming keyboard but its so uncomfortable to type with

fossil halo
stoic island
#

@crimson nimbus well, I'm looking at it now, and I'm really disliking that PSU and would recommend changing that PSU out lel.

#

and also, I don't think you gave us the GPU?

fossil halo
#

my chinese knock off cherry mechanical kb

cold jewel
#

The g502 hyper scroll when going through code is very nice.

fossil halo
#

no complaints

#

g502 is nice

#

yes

cold jewel
#

Same with all the buttons that you can assign macros to

fossil halo
#

g703 is good too

pretty expensive tyho

exotic saddle
small osprey

That is what I have on order @exotic saddle

small osprey

stoic island

Model o wireless :P

cold jewel
#

@stoic island say $400-600

stoic island

Might be able to fit an entirely new PC, which should have better performance all across the board, want me to try?

obsidian temple
#

i need a mobo for my 5600x. i'd prefer it if it dint have yellow on it but ik i cant help it somtimes. also i need wifi. can someone help me find something good? Is the b550-f gaming asus rog strix wifi good?

exotic saddle
#

okay so this mouse or this mouse

stoic island
#

@obsidian temple I reccomend B550 aorus elite ax when it's in stock again

cold jewel
#

Wireless @exotic saddle

crimson nimbus
#

@stoic island Great thank you, can I keep the old drives though to avoid having to move everything?

exotic saddle
#

wait theyre the same thing

cold jewel
#

If you have the money

stoic island
#

Yea, that's only a reference list as of now, @crimson nimbus we can make more changes depending on your workload and what you need.

exotic saddle
#

i like wired better

#

cause im lazy

cold jewel
#

Really?

exotic saddle
#

plus my brother can't steal my mouse and mess with my screen

stoic island
#

wireless is nicer thooo

#

lol

#

alright

cold jewel
#

Ahh

#

True

exotic saddle
#

something i do to him

#

cause he has wireless

stoic island
#

I think G502 wireless might have better sensor

exotic saddle
stoic island
#

don't remember

obsidian temple
#

i have a razer viper min

stoic island
#

lel

cold jewel
#

Yeah it does

crimson nimbus
#

Thanks very much @stoic island I really appreciate it, I will check out that build.

cold jewel
#

The wired one isn't much worse tho. Probably wouldn't even notice

stoic island
#

:)

exotic saddle
#

i wanna get one of those side mouses as well

#

those things that make it easier on ur wrist

#

forgot the term

obsidian temple
#

an engonomic mouse?

cold jewel
#

^

obsidian temple
#

ergonomic

exotic saddle
#

ah yes

cold jewel
#

Ah

obsidian temple
#

those bad for gaming

#

watch intel edit's video

cold jewel
#

Tbh I have one. They are not that good

exotic saddle
#

in terms of comfort

#

when i don't game

cold jewel
#

They would be nice after using it for 2 months straight probably

#

But I didn't give it any time

drifting garnet
#

Yeah

exotic saddle
#

idk about you guys but when i turn my wrist it at that angle it feels so good

#

try it rn

cold jewel
#

It was comfortable but it was very awkward

drifting garnet
#

Yeh lol

cold jewel
#

It felt like I was ready to skip a rock

#

xD

drifting garnet
#

Make me want to go to the beach

weak field
#

mmm

exotic saddle
#

randomly throws mouse across room

drifting garnet
#

Lol

crimson nimbus
#

@stoic island If I get the motherboard/cpu/ram from that build, can I use my existing GPU? I don't need more graphics performance on this machine.

exotic saddle
#

yes

stoic island
#

We can edit the list to have a 'heavier' focus on CPU performance

#

@crimson nimbus what do you need the machine to do?

drifting garnet
#

Proceeds to play mouse dodgeball

night iron
#

Excellent work @keen bobcat @mental dragon

drifting garnet
#

Takes ergonomic mouse to the nuts

crimson nimbus
#

@stoic island Thank you. Basic work, some video editing, some photo editing. The latter two are where I am running into trouble now (Premiere, Lightroom). So maybe I do need the better GPU?

cold jewel
#

You will want a better GPU

stoic island
#

hm

exotic saddle
#

a gpu would help if ur editing 4k and stuff

#

a good cpu as well for rendering and stuff

#

and ram if ur woroking with big projects

stoic island
#

It might be more useful to go Intel if you're really into adobe software

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, GPU is important for video editing.

stoic island
#

hm

exotic saddle
#

i usually video edit at like 480p then export at 1080p

cold jewel
#

Eh AMD should be able to offer better for video editing.

exotic saddle
#

amd is better for video editing

#

intel for gaming

stoic island
#

I'll just mess around with the list

cold jewel
#

I mean if you multi-task I'd say AMD

exotic saddle
#

^

drifting garnet
#

1650 super might be fine for video editing but not the best.

stoic island
#

I'm thinking if it's possible to get you 3600+1650 super

exotic saddle
#

go for open box?

cold jewel
#

I mean if you are hard on a budget

#

But if not I'd just buy new if you can

exotic saddle
#

okie

cold jewel
#

A small risk but it saves you from a return.

stoic island
#

tho I'd personally try to get a good NVMe drive to boot off of

#

but budget

exotic saddle
#

i got the blue yeti x wow mic and messed with the voice filters and forgot to turn it back during class 💀

#

i scared my teacher

cold jewel
#

Owch

balmy patio
#

lmao

crimson nimbus
#

Thank you! That looks great @stoic island Is the powersupply upgrade (from 430 to 500W) important? I don't mind spending for it if so, just want to check if that is necessary.

stoic island
#

@crimson nimbus I'm not really worried about the wattage, just a builder CX is pretty poor quality, and have already been used for a few years

cold jewel
#

It would probably be a good idea to upgrade the power supply assuming you have an old one currently.

crimson nimbus
#

@stoic island Got it, thanks. The old one has been working all day every day for a lot of years, I will replace it.

stoic island
#

@quasi snow and smth like a Revolution D.F. 850w is gonna be a bit cheaper

crimson nimbus
#

Looking forward to my "new" machine!

stoic island
#

other than that fine

#

:D

drifting garnet
#

Yeah that build looks good

uncut pelican
#

Opinions?

stoic island
#

CXm bad

#

otherwise it's decent, just pricing

drifting garnet
#

I honestly would go with higher wattage too.

cold jewel
#

^

stoic island
#

no coil whine

#

@uncut pelican get a EVGA BR/BA 500w at 50$ at least

#

hm

#

discord went wack

uncut pelican
#

K

cold jewel
#

Memory go brr

quasi snow
#

there's about $80 left over in that build now, is there anything else that would be a worthwhile upgrade for around that much?

drifting garnet
#

@stoic island Do you think Corsair CV650 or EVGA BR 600 is better?

stoic island
#

both about the same

#

BR600 is priced weirdly atm

drifting garnet
#

Ok thanks.

#

there's about $80 left over in that build now, is there anything else that would be a worthwhile upgrade for around that much?
@quasi snow 32gb Ram maybe if you'd like.

cold jewel
#

32GB is nice for future proofing

obsidian temple
#

are there people here that like making parts lists?

balmy patio
#

yes

cold jewel
#

I can help

obsidian temple
#

not with only ram

#

lol

cold jewel
#

You mean like a pc parts list?

obsidian temple
#

yeah

cold jewel
#

Yeah

uncut pelican
obsidian temple
#

i want a sub $1500 list with a r5 5600x and the meshify c case (cuz i bought those already)

balmy patio
#

1500 including the 5600x and meshify c or 1500 without them

obsidian temple
#

including

balmy patio
#

ok

cold jewel
#

You want to build it @balmy patio ?

balmy patio
#

sure

cold jewel
#

Kk

balmy patio
#

you can edit it if i mess up somewher

cold jewel
#

Will do

balmy patio
#

how much storage would you liek @obsidian temple

obsidian temple
#

1tb

balmy patio
#

ok

obsidian temple
#

if you can do a wifi mobo that would be pogchamp

balmy patio
#

ok

drifting garnet
#

Should I get b550 over b450 to be more future proof?

balmy patio
#

yes

still bay
obsidian temple
#

gpu?

still bay
#

1070ti for the tiem being than whatever is available later on in april

#

i have a 1070ti rn so ill just pop that in

obsidian temple
#

k cool

#

i dont know much but it looks nice

weak field
#

taichi?

obsidian temple
#

case kinda expecnsive

weak field
#

could find something better for way cheaper

cold jewel
#

Looks good but why the Lian?

weak field
#

needs tweeking

obsidian temple
#

i recommend meshify c maybe

#

good airflow and easy cable management

cold jewel
#

Lians are normally mainly for water cooling

#

Just because they don't have good airflow at all

weak field
#

true

#

or for aios

cold jewel
#

Oh I didn't see that AIO

balmy patio
little osprey
#

thats very good ngl @balmy patio

cold jewel
#

That build should be fine with the 1070 ti

#

And lian

drifting garnet
obsidian temple
#

nice

#

tysm

little osprey
#

hmm idk

balmy patio
#

you're welcome

cold jewel
#

Build looks good

obsidian temple
#

can i replace ram for gskill ripjaws

#

same price and specs

little osprey
#

@balmy patio is the PSU that u put in the list good?

cold jewel
#

It should be a fine power supply

drifting garnet
#

Would the Asrock B550M be better than the Gigabyte b450m ds3h?

little osprey
#

oh

cold jewel
#

I wouldn't classify it as 'good' but it is fine

obsidian temple
#

why 6800xt?

little osprey
#

Yeah why 6800xt

obsidian temple
#

i dont need that much

drifting garnet
#

Ok I can send the whole list

obsidian temple
#

i'd be okay with 6800

balmy patio
#

sheesh idek, wanted to keep it at around 1500

obsidian temple
#

even 3070

#

no no

#

im thankful

balmy patio
#

originally went with a 3070 but it was 1300

#

so i jus wanted to bump it up

obsidian temple
#

ahhh i see

cold jewel
#

Ah

little osprey
#

uhm

#

I just lost my ppl

balmy patio
#

rip

little osprey
#

ripppp

obsidian temple
#

meshify came with 2 fans, shoiuld be enough right?

weak field
#

yes

little osprey
balmy patio
#

you could get a 275r airflow, which comes with 3 fans and looks nice

drifting garnet
little osprey
#

ew

#

the case-

drifting garnet
#

Or is this fine. If it is fine don't wanna spend any more.

balmy patio
#

lmao the 3600xt is cheaper than the x version and normal 3600 rn

little osprey
#

Why that case

drifting garnet
#

Yeah idk why

little osprey
#

Maybe change case

#

to a corsair one

#

or P400a

balmy patio
#

yeah the case looks good but bad ariflow

little osprey
#

or

drifting garnet
#

Ok what case do you like better for the price?

little osprey
#

I just changed the case

balmy patio
#

i like that case

cold jewel
#

Looks good with that modification

drifting garnet
#

Ok, I am gonna look at other cases too.

little osprey
#

i like that case
@balmy patio its 10$ more but way much better

cold jewel
#

Kk

drifting garnet
#

I guess that does look better tho.

balmy patio
#

yeah it is

drifting garnet
#

But the parts are good?

balmy patio
#

comes with three fans as well

cold jewel
#

Yes

#

The ram is eh but it will do for $50

drifting garnet
#

I would put in rgb fans tho.

balmy patio
#

i'll see if i can get some better components at about the 800usd budget

weak field
#

800$ usd

#

got me thinkin like 2060 2600

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, I think that is a little more tho

#

I will see

balmy patio
#

yes 3600 is back in stock for 200 bucks

#

lets gho

weak field
#

i made a list for 840 the other day using a 2600 2060

#

not for long

drifting garnet
weak field
#

yes

drifting garnet
#

I would add a fan to the back

exotic saddle
weak field
#

for a thousand dollars

#

pretty good

#

some would beg to differ to fit a 3070 in there

#

but you have a 3700x

little osprey
#

Wait what

weak field
#

nothing

little osprey
#

is the 3060 confirmed?

weak field
#

rumor

little osprey
#

hmmm

#

that build looks good btw

#

the CPU is pretty good

#

and the GPU too

#

but he could get a cheaper mobo

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, some people earlier were complaining about some build earlier not having a 3070

weak field
#

widi

#

wifi

#

x570

#

not really

#

atx

exotic saddle
#

cheaper mobo?

weak field
#

3070 extinct

little osprey
#

eh depends if he wants the wifi too

drifting garnet
#

Depends on what this pc is used for.

weak field
#

aorus

balmy patio
drifting garnet
#

Honestly, I am not sure about going down to a ryzen 3.

weak field
#

spend the extra 30$ and get a 2600

drifting garnet
#

I cant be asking my dad for more than what he is already getting me.

balmy patio
#

or if you can find a 3300x, that would be nicer

weak field
#

you have family members yes?

#

chores

#

aunt has dishes boom

#

grandma needs to go to the store

#

boom

balmy patio
#

baby sit baby

cold jewel
#

@drifting garnet How are your grades doin?

drifting garnet
#

Good

cold jewel
#

All A?

drifting garnet
#

A's and b's

balmy patio
#

pathetic

cold jewel
#

Maybe if you fix the B's you can ask for more.

balmy patio
#

bruh my mother thinks that a b+ is bad no college for you

cold jewel
#

I mean Idk how major your parents care about your grades but I got stuff for doing good in school ahah.

little osprey
#

lol

drifting garnet
#

My dad says if my grades are at least b's its fine but I should be getting all my work in

cold jewel
#

Ah

little osprey
#

Ah

balmy patio
#

ah

cold jewel
#

I mean maybe if you surprise him with A's he might be more open to spending more?

drifting garnet
#

Well, I was asking for a much cheaper pc. My dad is the one who wants to be getting me a more expensive one. I do t think I should ask for more.

cold jewel
#

Ohhh

balmy patio
#

or jus be a good kid and do chores without him asking you to do so

little osprey
#

@drifting garnet What PC you getting

balmy patio
#

parents love it when child is more responsible than what they expect

cold jewel
#

Well I mean to be fair with you. It is honestly better to get an expensive PC than to get a cheap one. The reason why is because you won't need to upgrade it again.

#

For a while*

drifting garnet
#

Yeah, he said the same thing.

little osprey
#

Yup

drifting garnet
#

My dad bought one of the top of the line pcs 10 years ago and still uses it lol.

balmy patio
#

honestly, i wouldn't spend money on an expensive pc, i'd spend money on future proofing it so that while time passes i can upgrade

little osprey
drifting garnet
#

Yeah, that is why I am gonna tell him we might should go b550 instead of 450

balmy patio
#

yeah

little osprey
#

@drifting garnet whats ur ppl

balmy patio
#

@little osprey that's good enough for streaming, if you like the rgb ram and cooler, you can stay with them or get rid of them if you want to save money

exotic saddle
#

like $100 in savings

little osprey
#

@little osprey that's good enough for streaming, if you like the rgb ram and cooler, you can stay with them or get rid of them if you want to save money
@balmy patio that isnt a rgb cooler tho XD

#

The fan Yah

balmy patio
#

ik, like i was talking about the cooler

little osprey
#

and the RAM

balmy patio
#

wasn't saying it was rgb

little osprey
#

Oj

balmy patio
#

the stock cooler should be fine if youre not gonna be doing sum crazy with the 5600x

exotic saddle
#

My dad bought one of the top of the line pcs 10 years ago and still uses it lol.
what are the specs?

#

wonder what a top pc was like 10 years ago

little osprey
#

Eh I dont like the stock cooler that the 5600x comes with

balmy patio
#

valid claim

drifting garnet
#

It is a phenom II but I have no idea what graphics card its got.

balmy patio
#

i dont like it either lmao

little osprey
#

the stock cooler should be fine if youre not gonna be doing sum crazy with the 5600x
@balmy patio hmm what would u consider crazy XD

balmy patio
#

like

drifting garnet
#

Hp Pavilion Elite

balmy patio
#

big overclocking or sum similar

little osprey
#

Ew

#

I aint overclocking

#

hell nah

#

I am antioverclocking

#

if thats a thing 😂

cold jewel
#

Why so?

drifting garnet
#

Warranty possibly

little osprey
#

Its hard to explain

#

I am done with my trash laptop I just want a pc

cold jewel
#

I mean it is great to do if you have the knowledge.

balmy patio
#

same, i hate my macbook air smh

cold jewel
#

It does require skill though.

little osprey
#

same, i hate my macbook air smh
@balmy patio I use a HP laptop 😦

balmy patio
#

lol

drifting garnet
#

I won't overclock mine because I don't wanna void the warranty and something could go wrong.

little osprey
#

If I overclocked mine it would explode ngl

#

LMAO

cold jewel
#

I wouldn't advise overclocking with new hardware without any background in it

#

xD

drifting garnet
#

I almost overclocked my laptop screen and then I learned it could reduce lifespan so I didn't do it

cold jewel
#

Laptops are trash to overclock

little osprey
#

Yup ik

#

I am pretty sure mine would explode

cold jewel
#

I wouldn't advise even touching them to overclock. You can overclock so slightly that it is just not worth it.

#

On a PC though you can get alottt better performance. You also need knowledge in overclocking though.

mighty zenith
#

Hey can I speak to a tech Wizard?

little osprey
#

lol

cold jewel
#

My FX-8320 kept me alive till this year. I could've still used it tbh but it was just getting too old.

little osprey
#

there is a bunch in this server

cold jewel
#

@mighty zenith What's up?

mighty zenith
#

Can I drop a link in chat

#

Newegg

cold jewel
#

Sure

mighty zenith
cold jewel
#

Yep

mighty zenith
#

So I was thinking of buying this used for $679 cause its like enw

#

Appear as new (may have a light sign), customer return in 30 days. Fully functional. Original box.

#

Idk why he meant by light sign

#

what

cold jewel
#

Uhm

mighty zenith
#

:l

cold jewel
#

Maybe a dead pixel or something? That is the only thing I could think of. The term 'light sign' doesn't quite make sense.

mighty zenith
#

Right

#

Wondering if I should just pay the extra 100 for a new one

cold jewel
#

I mean if you have the money I personally would. I'm kinda against buying anything electronical that is used.. But you do have a 30 day return incase something is wrong.

mighty zenith
#

Exactly

#

Like it's a fairly new product so I was thinking $120 off isn't bad

#

I mean what would you do about a dead pixel btw? Ship it back?

#

warranty and all

cold jewel
#

Yeah you have a guaranteed 30 day return.

#

If you had anything wrong with it you can just ship it back then order a brand new one if you wanted.

mighty zenith
#

That's what I was thinking

#

Thanks, I'll get it

cold jewel
#

No problem

carmine marten
#

Im building my first pc and the last thing I need to get is the graphics card I was thinking about the Gigabyte rtx 2060 but are there any other better deals?

mighty zenith
#

I'm waiting on the 3070 from microcenter or you can join a server and get notified

#

oh

#

Ill message u it

cold jewel
#

Yeah, I'd personally wait until the 3070.

mighty zenith
#

Yeah its like 500, the 3080 seem to be 700-800

cold jewel
#

Around the same price but better performance

mighty zenith
#

yeah

carmine marten
#

oh dang thanks for letting me know ill just wait

mighty zenith
#

For sure, just learned yesterday

carmine marten
#

nice

cold jewel
#

You get a much better price per frame on the 3070.

#

about $4.06 on the 2060. $2.7 on the 3070

mighty zenith
#

Is this monitor much different from the other one I sent?

#

Just noticed the promotion

cold jewel
#

What specs do you have @mighty zenith

mighty zenith
#

iMac

cold jewel
#

You probably wouldn't need the 265 Hz

#

165 Hz is a still good panel

young dew
#

wait for 5600 or go for 3600/3700?

#

ryzen cpu's

mighty zenith
little osprey
#

Depends

small osprey
#

5600x usuualy

mighty zenith
#

That's my build Mr1111 helped with

little osprey
#

You already got a build?

young dew
#

no first one

little osprey
#

If its new I would wait till you can find one in stock cause you got to buy a mobo anyways

cold jewel
#

Ah

young dew
#

yea

little osprey
#

If you already have a pc dont bother

mighty zenith
#

Trash?

cold jewel
#

I'd go with 165Hz

young dew
#

i was thinking to get 3600 and wait 2-3 years then upgrade

mighty zenith
#

The first or second

#

Showed

little osprey
#

That would work no problem. Im personally waiting for Zen 4 and DDR5

#

I have the 3600X

#

I dont see the point un upgrading now just for DDr5 to drop and Zen4 and then having to buy a new mobo anyways

young dew
#

ok

#

i will wait then

#

thx

cold jewel
#

The second one @mighty zenith

#

The Samsung one is quite overkill. It is a good monitor but there isn't a major difference.

mighty zenith
#

Reverse Psychology is telling me to get it

cold jewel
#

You do get freesync with the Samsung one though.

mighty zenith
#

What's it do

cold jewel
#

Gsync*

mighty zenith
#

Oh I thought samsung had the gsync

cold jewel
#

Yeah my bad I meant gsync

#

Freesync is for the gigabyte one

#

Gsync and freesync eliminate tearing while gaming.

#

Which is nice

#

Nvidia or AMD?

mighty zenith
#

Samsung monitor I think is Nvidia

#

or u mean my build

cold jewel
#

Your build

mighty zenith
#

Oh graphics card

cold jewel
#

Yeah

mighty zenith
#

Yeah I'm waiting on the 3080 or 3070. The Asus has a integrated graphics card so it will be able to do my daily work

cold jewel
#

Ah gotcha

mighty zenith
#

Yeah so I was thinking of ordering the Samsung Monitor and waiting for that to ship, then my build is all done just need to find a good value graphics card so I don't stay in iMac hell

cold jewel
#

If you got the money I'd go with the Samsung.

mighty zenith
#

Yeah cause I mean I heard we got another year for this coronavirus so I was think of spoiling myself a little here

cold jewel
#

It is a great monitor. Probably overkill but Samsung has amazingg monitors.

#

Ah haha

mighty zenith
#

Yeah so

cold jewel
#

You'll also have Nvidia gsync so 😄

mighty zenith
#

See I almost bought an Asus 2 yesterday for $250 open box but Mr1111 told me not to get that cause of the expensive processors

#

Like it locks u in

#

With the X-series

cold jewel
#

Ahh

crisp bolt
#

Hello

#

Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360L ARGB V2 CPU Liquid Cooler
Cooler Master MASTERLIQUID ML360R RGB AIO liquid Cooler

which one of these are a good option. Case Cooler Master TD 500

#

they both look similar to me

cold jewel
#

Any reason for coolermaster? @crisp bolt To match the case I assume?

mighty zenith
#

Quick question, if I'm getting an i9 processor should I be getting more ram

#

Or just the standard is good

cold jewel
#

More than the 32GB? @mighty zenith

mighty zenith
#

I mean, more power right

#

processing power

cold jewel
#

Oh you mean higher clock on the memory?

mighty zenith
#

hmm

crisp bolt
#

Any reason for coolermaster? @crisp bolt To match the case I assume?
@cold jewel yes to match the case, and also local availibilty. But I'm ok to hear any more recommendations

mighty zenith
#

Wondering if I should make my computer into a jet engine

cold jewel
#

The way the build is looks fine to me. The only thing better you can do is probably getting better memory but you don't get as much of a gain from going from 3200 to 3600 (with a Intel CPU). With an AMD CPU it is a much different story.

mighty zenith
#

Yeah I was actually gonna say like should I get a large hard drive compared to the SSD?

cold jewel
#

@crisp bolt Personally I wouldn't go with a coolermaster AIO. I've never really heard anything good about them.

mighty zenith
#

AllI know is that the ssd is faster then the HD

cold jewel
#

Oh gotcha

crisp bolt
#

@crisp bolt Personally I wouldn't go with a coolermaster AIO. I've never really heard anything good about them.
@cold jewel What other options would you recommend?

severe galleon
#

im trying to get into streaming and video recording, would this be a good list?

It works with both intel / amd

cyan saffron
#

in stock but 50$ higher than msrp

#

should i pull the trigger?

crisp bolt
cold jewel
#

@mighty zenith If you need more than 1TB on your SSD you can always buy a HDD later on and use it as additional storage.

mighty zenith
#

I think you could price match even after purchasing Freud

#

Like if microcenter had something

cyan saffron
#

price match aero malls with the newegg pricing?

#

theyll tell me its out of stock on newegg

mighty zenith
#

ah my bad

severe galleon
#

i just added it to cart

cold jewel
#

Yes, @crisp bolt They are both pretty similar

crisp bolt
#

Yes, @crisp bolt They are both pretty similar
@cold jewel Ok thanks. But 2 fans are enough or 3 ?

mighty zenith
#

3 for the looks

#

That's what I did

cold jewel
#

2 fans are plenty but you can go with 3.

#

Not much of a difference between 2 and 3 with the aio.

mighty zenith
#

Yeah for my corsair it was extra 40 dollars, I would just get that

cold jewel
#

If your case is large enough for a larger AIO I'd buy the larger.

#

Just because more surface area for cooling.

#

If not it isn't a biggie

cyan saffron
#

not that true

#

240 and 360 perform very closely

crisp bolt
#

Perfect. I guess Cooler Master TD 500 is on the bigger side of cases

cold jewel
#

Yep

cyan saffron
#

there is a linus techtips where they compare aio and air cooling and the 360 is the worst

cold jewel
#

Yeah that is what I was saying @cyan saffron they aren't much different.

cyan saffron
#

and the nh-d15 is the one that performs the best

#

but that thing is always out of stock

cursive magnet
#

280 usually beats 360

cold jewel
#

I personally like AIOs myself. Waterblocks of course I enjoy even more. Air coolers are good though if you don't care as much about looks.

#

Well 280 has more surface area than the 360

cyan saffron
#

the nh-d15 looks better than a lot of aios

#

the chromax edition

cold jewel
#

Well to be fair anything noctua is amazing aha

hoary cloak
#

Is the b450 f gaming and 3600xt compatible

crisp bolt
#

Noctua NH-D15S 140mm SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler, NF-A15 PWM Fans
will this do the job?

cyan saffron
#

yes

cold jewel
#

The be quiet dark rock pro 4 is a nice alternative to a nh-d15

mighty zenith
#

Hey Joe I was just wondering but how come it's not a good idea to buy used electric equipment. Just wondering?

cyan saffron
#

@hoary cloak

hoary cloak
#

Ight you have to do a bios update right?

cold jewel
#

You never know what could be wrong with them. @mighty zenith

cyan saffron
mighty zenith
#

Even if it has warranty

cyan saffron
#

scroll down and there is a table of the chipsets and the processors

mighty zenith
#

Just curious cause I'll see open box

cold jewel
#

I mean if it has warranty than you have to make sure you read through the terms of it and make sure you have a 30 day return. I like being able to buy everything new and only have to worry about the 5% chance that something will be faulty.

mighty zenith
#

Can you test electrical equipment?

cold jewel
#

Yes

mighty zenith
#

Like lets say I want to get something used or open box. Can I verify the integrity?

#

Microcenter do it for free?

#

:/

cursive magnet
#

Depends on what piece of equipment

cold jewel
#

Oh like that

hoary cloak
#

Ah ok so the bios updates for 5 thousand series

cold jewel
#

Yeah, it does depend. I'm not sure who would really test it.

mighty zenith
#

Like I was saying cause yesterday I spent half my day deciding not to get a open box asus 2 cause of those x-processors

crisp bolt
#

Noctua NH-D15S 140mm SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler, NF-A15 PWM Fans
will this do the job?
@crisp bolt Can I get this and forget the 240/280 AIO cooler. I'm planning to get the Ryzen 5950x

mighty zenith
#

So I was wondering if you could test something like that

cold jewel
#

Yes @crisp bolt

@mighty zenith I think you’re just asking for trouble. You don’t know why it was open box. Used would be horrible. OC’d poorly, overheated, over voltage. It may work fine at first. But bricks in a month

@mighty zenith I mean you can test it by plugging it all in if it has one beep that means it passed through the POST.

#

Yeah.. exactly

Everything with stock is going weird right now.

@crisp bolt If you would've said yes I would say definitely the two fan. Even without overclocking though the 5950x does get pretty toasty so it would be nice to get the 2 fan. It probably wouldn't be an issue going with the single fan though.
