would it be fine with 750 power
He needs a pc list for under $1000
drop the nzxt kraken, switch to an air cooler
but its a decent build for sure
if its on a budget id ditch the aio, change out the ram for some 3600mhzcl16 or if thats too much 3600cl18
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4FvqHz here this is a lil over 1k
@little osprey just keep this
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/
Bookmarked
^no
^over 1k and you have no case fans
ik
you do realize you can't control all ur rgb software together?
those fans aren't icue
I suggest making the rest of ur build aurasync
lemme switch it up
its almost like the case i put comes with fans
but you put a 5500xt in a 1k build...
When building a gaming pc, do you need to add an HDD to it, or can it just use an SSD?
it can use just an ssd
With the 3080 and 6800xt being neck and neck would yall say get whatever you can
Yep only difference is the speed
Because of how bad stock is
Referring to the precious question
I would say get whatever you can, unless you plan on playing RTX games a lot
The few that support it
Bc ray tracing on AMD is eh
Even streaming wise the nvenc is nice but not the biggest deal when stock is non existent
Idk about yall but in uk amd launch was worse than nvidia
is ryzen 7 2700x rx 580 decent?
Quick question
Any good alternatives to Corsair LL120 fans?
Yeah rgb needed 😂
Got a pc o11 case so it’s kinda made for RGB
Also need a good aio cooler
That's gonna need a lot of fan
I’m going for 6-9
For the cooler about $180
Ryzen 5 5600x
Looks good
Ima wait till Black Friday see what deals I can get
when's black friday ?
After I got all the parts so far I’ve got the ram cpu nvme motherboard
people keep talking bout it i would say in a week or two
Whenever I can pick up a new gpu ima start building
27th is Black Friday
3080/6800xt
One of them if I can’t get them ima just wait
This is my first ever build
Switching from console
How was the building process
I’m kinda nervous
you shouldn't be worried about your first build
all these youtube videos are super good and to be honest it's a pretty straight forward job
and if you're confused there are numerous discord servers 🙂
i built my first system on my own only using the internet and discord
and it's been like a year and haven't got a single issue
that's for sure 🙂
I’m just nervous about installing 9 fans into my system
aha
Cable management looks like that he hardest part
fans can be kinda annoying
but if you have the right splitters and all that stuff it isn't too hard 🙂
i've got 6 fans in my system
I’m getting a commander pro hopefully that’ll make the job easier
is the i5 10400 good for streaming?
The 10400 is a good deal for streaming if paired with a 2000-3000 series
The ryzen 5 is super expensive in some areas of the world compared to the 10400
Doesn't matter, even if it's 50% more expensive, you are still getting a 100% better CPU.
That’s just false
Because A. You aren't supporting Intel's anti-consumer business practices and B. You are buying a product that you can then upgrade later on down the line.
If you can get it for 40$ or more off than a 3600 I wholeheartedly reccomend it
As a 3600 user
And I strongly suggest anyone to NOT heed that word due to the fact that Intel is a bunch of scumbags who can't make a good CPU if the designs for a new architecture slapped them in the face.
idk i just want a build that get over 150 fps in warzone
Reason: Bad word usage
i hope they fix the season 6 fps issue
in general or optimization?
Both.
lol
CoD is just a repeat cycle game. Every game since Black Ops 2 is just the same game over again with a new coat of paint.
If you want a good Battle Royale, play Apex Legends or PUBG
If you want a solid shooter in general, play Destiny 2, Rainbow 6 Siege, or CS:GO
Or Titanfall 2
I play and like warzone but i used to get 70 fps on my laptop and now i get 40 fps
Destiny 2 became pay to win, I wouldn’t play that either
Wat
which sucks as you would imagine
Pay to Win? Are you off your rocker?
You have to purchase the dlc and the battle passes, yes
And? That isn't Pay To Win.
Free to lose then? Lmao
The definition of Pay To Win is getting a strict numerical advantage over someone who isn't paying for the game.
You are not forced to buy the Season Pass or DLC.
is ryzen 5 3600x better then ryzen 7 2700x?
A Free to Play player is 100% capable of absolutely destroying a person who has all of the DLC and the current Season Pass.
I wouldn't buy a 3600X
y
If you are on a budget, get the 3600
In most games modes, yes
can anoyne link me a pc build for 150 fps+ warzone?
Nameless, you would have to spend an exorbiant amount of money for that to work.
...
Like, 5800X, 16GB of super fast RAM, and a RTX 3080
1080p competitive settings
Depends on his resolution
Even at 1080p
1280x1024
Ew 4:3
That's not a resolution that any respectable human being would use.
i play cs go and many other use such res
Why tf do you play CS:GO in 4:3
give you a advantage
No it doesn't...
idk about looks i care about gampley
If anything you lose an advantage.
yeah it does more fps and wider player models
🤦
I don’t think you need a 3080 to play war zone at 1080p
One: CS:GO already is so optimized, framerate basically doesn't matter.
Or a 5800x
even pros use 4;3 res
Two: Wider player models doesn't change the actual hitbox of the player model
umm yeah?
Three: Pros are starting to shift away from 4:3 due to the loss of peripheral vision
16:9 is a superior option since your vision actually processes things in your peripheral vision FASTER than in your main vision.
idk everybody uses what they like
And, plenty of my friends have played in 4:3, and they have died from shots that I was able to re-frag because I was playing 16:9 and could actually see the enemy that killed them.
... idk mate you do you
I'm just providing factual data for your objectively inferior decision to use 4:3
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe in the eyes of every sensible human being who realizes how monitor resolutions work.
The only reason why 4:3 vs 16:9 is an argument is because people think that the wider player models on 4:3 actually shifts the hitbox. It doesn't, it just makes things harder to see in your peripheral vision.
whatever
what is a logic price for rtx 3070?
500
....cant find
well wait
Yeah, you won't find a 3070 for 500 dollars right now.
They all got scalped by botters and only like, 10 legitimate people got them.
lmao not even 300 hrs in cs go and you're telling me that 4;3 sucks
You think that hours in a single game with this debate actually matters?
somewhat
The debate of 16:9 vs 4:3 is in literally every competitive shooter EXCEPT Overwatch
Because Blizzard said "Yeah, nah we gonna nip this in the bud and make 16:9 the only aspect ratio"
msi ventus 2x oc is it in a good price right?
No.
sometimes 
why @versed rock
ow on 4:3 is weird tho
yeah i started using in 1 year ago
i'm fine with people playing with which res they want
I have nearly 500 hours in Siege, and 16:9 has been proven to be the best aspect ratio due to how the human peripheral vision works.
the only game i sometimes play 4:3 is osu
osu?
Same holds true for CS:GO because of the same fact.
ok skip
Not for that price.
but i have 2700 hrs in cs go and playing since 2016
@grim raptor It is a great cpu, but depends on what you use it for
okey guys
If all you are doing is gaming, wait for the 5600X to get back in stock.
no programming edit and gamming
yeah 5600x rocks from what i've seen
and 3 screens on play
Programming you could do on literally anything.
You could program on a Raspberry Pi for god's sake...
Well, if you want to do AI shiz, then you will want an RTX card.
I would go with a 5600X and a RTX 3080 TBH
There will be no Titan for this generation
Would a msi b550 tomahawk work with a 5600x?
3090 titan
The RTX 3090 is the "titan" of this generation
@pseudo forge yeah
Just need to do a bios update right? @grim raptor
I don't even think you need a BIOS update, but you might.
depends what you doing nameless
@versed rock true
for gaming yeah rx 6900 xt
How would I know if I need a update or not
idk otherwise
If you are doing AI based programming, AMD has literally no Tensor Cores.
@pseudo forge i dont think you will need bios update
3090 I’d go for if u want top end and ray tracing
Unless Radeon get their crap together
So, Nvidia is currently the best solution for enhanced AI programming and training.
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xB92xc any changes?
the motherboard is way expensive
do you know when the 3070 will be back?
It's a whole lot of weird nonsense things slapped together.
rude 
@real flicker How much money are you going to spend on this PC?
Rather than a 3400g
lots of thing out of stock atm
As you have a dedicated gpu
1000
aint that bad is it ahah
but ye i wouldnt get a ryzen g chip if you are getting a dgpu as well. also the m.2 should be changed
the storage yeah ill give you isnt ideal
I just got my windows boot thing on my flash drive now
@surreal rain too much for 3070
i did it on a different laptop
550 pardon
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/YyRYdD @real flicker
fricking scalpers i hope they grow ball on their feet and can only be allowed to drive flintstone type cars
That’s a solid build @versed rock
I think the SSD can be a bit cheaper
I can't remember which SSD is cheaper than the MP34 in Europe
Might wanna try waiting till Black Friday @real flicker
and if you only want to play games go for a rx 5700 xt
same performance as a 2070 super
100 $ for 10 fps ?
black friday deals aren’t deal breaking most of the time in the pc space, maybe if you went in store it would be a bit better
Yeah, you might get a deal on an SSD or something
ye
Likely no.
what's with so much stuff being sold out it's pitiful
@crude pivot yeah
it's like going to a candy store and all they have is the half price suckers
Does anyone know when the 3070 will be on market?
Why are PSU’s so expensive rn?
guys im trying to buy GTX 1060 super
which one is better?
@surreal rain how about geizhals?
your cooler and PSU should be goood so maybe expensive mate its very important (my opinion)
geizhals?
does it ship only in Germany?
same
as i understand it, its an aggregator of sites
just look, it will make sense :)
what the
it aggregates the vendors
i found on pcgarage.ro for 300 euro 5600x
as in, its collects the prices and you can look
not saying its perfect or anything
i just know that it exist as a site
@hoary cloak mainboard manual :)
You look at it?
It's super simple.
There's only 1 place the 24pin can go.
Start there.
@surreal rain https://geizhals.eu/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-100-100000065box-a2392524.html?hloc=at&hloc=de&hloc=eu&hloc=pl&hloc=uk
There's only 1 place the CPU 8 Pin can go also (Or 4 pin depending on your motherboard)
Ok
Also don't get a CPU 8-pin confused with a PCIe 8 pin
that bit matters for the result you get @surreal rain
Honestly, I'm kinda surprised that the PCIe standard adopted 8 pin connectors like the CPU 5v line.
It's a tiny bit confusing.
Maybe that's why Nvidia made the 12 pin connector?
cheapest 3070 rn is 600 euro not bad
the EPS has different pin shapes @versed rock
It does, but if you have enough brute force, you can force an EPS 8 pin into a PCIe 8 pin or vise versa.
yes, but that is true for everything in a pc
I wish I had the money for my upgrade...
I can’t find this cable on the manual
That's EPS it's in the top corner of your motherboard.
It's for the CPU
Some motherboards only have a 4 Pin EPS connector, that connector should split into 2 4 Pin connections.
Too many left right
that one does split
Top left *
Yeah, should be Top Left
check your manual @hoary cloak
it IS in there
and you are going to need the manual later for other connectors
i mean its pretty trivial once you have the basics down
true
but even then its all relatively the same
True.
except for radiators and stuff
i have never touched one of those things and i dont feel like trying
yo does ikea have dark mode?
yo whats a good mobo thats am4, microatx and supports 3200+ mhz ram under 90
im pretty sure the mortar motherboards support that
correct me if im wrong though
or b450m gigabyte s2h
@ruby ledge https://pcpartpicker.com/product/LKLwrH/asrock-b550m-hdv-micro-atx-am4-motherboard-b550m-hdv
This is pretty good
is budget friendly one
i was kind of thinking the same thing tbh
there's nothing wrong with using m-atx
it just doesn't look too hot in mid tower and full tower cases.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BCXJnL God bless, my build is gonna be expensive AF...
Oh, I forgot the monitors...
:))
would an atx motherboard fit in my mtx case?
Why?
it's so much better
X570 is literally pointless my dude.
@ruby ledge probably not
yeah not worth arguing with skip
Because it's white.
racist
Also, it has a USB-C port on the back
jk
u do realize u can paint a mobo white right
F that noise
Also, it has a USB-C port on the back
@versed rock so does every other highish end mobo
I ain't potentially bricking my board just to paint it.
it doesn't ruin a board
It could though.
not really
And I ain't plasti-dipping it either, that's a thermal nightmare.
if ur really stupid and splash the cpu dye, yeah, it'll break
im not gonna waste my time trying to convince u lol
u do u
I mean, I already beat your argument. A. You don't NEED active VRM cooling in a case like the P400A. B. The VRM is already overbuilt for a 5600X C. It's cheaper than the board I wanted, the Gigabyte Vision D.
180 $ for a b550m is ......
Yeah I did.
I'm the one who already has the bigger brain.
u do u
i mean you can't win a argument against a stupid person
Your the one who recommended X570
XD
For a 5600X of all things.
Skip just chill ffs
For features I will literally never use.
Hell, this thing doesn't even have USB-C!
Tell me, where is there a USB-C port on that IO
Because that's the I/O for the X570 Gaming X
should i enable amd virtual super resolution
Hey i'm looking to uprade and this is my current pc
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XCw99N
I'm looking to upgrade to this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qdvsZZ
Any thoughts?
No, you shouldn't.
Also Krypt, that's a terrible upgrade path.
What should i do?
just buy a new pc
I only have $600
for a pc you could do better
Yes, but how much are you willing to save up and spend?
im willing to spend $600
A 450w Bronze unit ain't gonna power an RTX 2060
do note @versed rock, that IO labeling is all kinds of wrong :)
all the blue/white ports are usb 3.2 ports
so what if it's from GIGABYTE
USB 3.2 is a standard that merged with USB 3.0 and USB 3.1
calm down Skip, i am not disagreeing with you
They didn't update the labelling because it would confuse the fork out of people.
@versed rock j curious, what r u using usb-c for on a desktop?
VR
?? which headset
vr and chargers
Quest 1
I have a question about my build but its kinda a lot to type, does anyone have any free time I could eat up?
I'm not touching Nvidia with a 100 foot pole anymore.
??
The 6800XT is a better 3080
not really
Do I not like losing DLSS? Yeah... DLSS would be really nice.
I mean... it depends on what ur doing
amd ray tracing is terrible
their version of dlss is nonexistant
Idk where this goes but. I am starting to use both my PC and laptop at the same time a lot more frequently. My laptop doesn't have ethernet port. Can I connect USB C to Ethernet adapter or should I stick to 5G wifi
Only because Nvidia has DLSS to bolster it's Raytracing performance.
?
Only because Nvidia has DLSS to bolster it's Raytracing performance.
@versed rock so?
in practical, dlss increase your framerate.
That's like saying my car can go 150mph because I have Nitrous on it.
DLSS is a crutch is what I am saying.
so might as well use it :P
if dlss gives you an edge, why wouldn't you use it?
Can a 3080 run with a i7
@olive kraken you can use a adapter if you want :)
but it isnt 0
In practice, yes DLSS + Raytracing is higher performance and looks nearly the same.
it looks exactly the same
thank u :3
I can't tell the difference and I daily drive 4k lol
No, there are differences between DLSS and Native, they are small and slight, but there is a difference.
I accadently bought a i7 instead of the i9, can I run a 3080TI with a i7?
Uhh...
3080 ti isn't a thing
There is no 3080Ti...
70
yeah
Jerids, an i7 isn't even the king anymore.
3070****
wait wait
You already lost when Ryzen 5000 came out.
AMD FTW
Ryzen 5000 slapped Intel senseless
And now Intel is panik trying to release Rocket Lake
Yes, have u seen the new amd O-O
yeah i know
I mean
really unfortunate
Intel
Ik
it will run though
I’m returning it
to answer your question
AMD really destroyed the competition
Will most likely regain the crown
But ok gonna use it for now
Does anyone have a second to help me in General Voice Chat?
whenever they release new generation
With what @snow vale
by a bit
I'm trying to upgrade my PC and I have questions about parts/what to get
Budget?
but it begs the question. AMD will still be cheaper while instead of losing 10% performance u will lose 5%
I mean the 6800xt trades blows with 3080. and 5900x beats 10900k
@snow vale budget?
Now it's a matter of pricing and offers
Unless u r doing professional tasks in which case u go AMD nvidia
AMD AMD seems completely viable
give me 2-3 minutes @snow vale
"i7" is just a marketing term, the model that comes after it matters a lot more
^
give me 2-3 minutes @snow vale
@foggy hazel I would appreciate your time!
say an i7 4790 vs i7 10700k is a HUGE difference
one is a decade out of date, one is current gen
@versed rock fyi, let me sum it up... the 6800xt beats the 3080 in a lot of games at 1080p, low settings. it's good for you if ur into esports. However, the 3080 has features like dlss and reflex tech (increases frames by 25-40% in those titles), and it has superior performance in higher resolutions and imagine qualities
Alongside professional tasks
surprisingly it gets better lows in some titles
dunno
why tf does the 3060 ti have 6 gb and the 3060 has 12 gb
too deep in the development progress or something?
from reliable sources...
Also, Nvidia Reflex is a bunch of bogus garbage that they shouldn't have to enable on a game to game basis.
Also 6gb of vram
And I can't even enable it on a game that just got support for it.
ok skip we get it you love AMD
Even though I have a GPU that is capable of using Reflex.
we do too
I don't "love" AMD. I just hate Nvidia's anti-consumer practices.
im not trying to alter the conversation but should i get an rtx 2060 or wait for the rtx 3070s to restock?
Nvidia Reflex isn't for u
wait for the 3070 to restock
UNless u r getting paid thousands of dollars a month to play games
like i'm doing
Nvidia Reflex isn't for u
@olive kraken reflex is AMAZING
It's a nice to have
Well, Reflex does have tangible benefits, if it can even be enabled.
lol reflex is nice though
at most
I can't even seem to enable it on Destiny 2 even though it literally just got support for Reflex.
i've seen a slight improvement in my performance in game
It's nowhere in the options menu for the game.
It isn't.
probably
The setting just doesn't exist.
idk i don't play destiny 2
Do I absolutely NEED a 30 series card?
Because Nvidia themselves showed 10 series cards in their press work
lol that's a question you should ask yourself honestly
no
no but if they go down to their original prices it's a hard deal to pass
And the Reflex site says 900 series and newer.
I mean don't go 900 right now
oh you mean for nvida reflex
nvidia*
I meant to say when people start selling for cheaper xd
bungo why
Prices go down in my mind
hopefully they do in the future
you can give it to me if you don't want it 🙂
@surreal rain you can have my used rx 570
deal
hey rx570 is good just ask floppa
rx 570 is still solid for 1080p
i once played vr at a party
i can run hl alyx at constant 60 fps with 570
cod infinity warfare...
I am not a vr fan
But
2080s runs vr fine from what I have seen
Don't know if its worth selling and then buy like a 2060 or 1080 for my sister
All she going to do is play Minecraft, Among us and roblox
jk that would be a bad choice
i would too ngl
is she young or something? my cousin plays those games as well at 13
12
eh close enough
That's why. Imagine getting a 2080s at 12yo
insane
Could never ;-;
imagine getting a pc at 14
at least she'd never have to upgrade for her lifetime, i guess
1080i MONITOR TOO
CAPS TIME BABY
ew, did i really say 1080i
xd
terrible, terrible
1080 TI?
Buy the latest RTX3080/RTX2080Ti through my Amazon Affiliate link :P thanks! https://amzn.to/2MEaPHu

She asked Santa for a PS5
It’s funny because my wii u (a 8 year old console) supports 1080i quality
I am like, I am about to give u a 2700x and 2080s
whAT? 40%??
good i love that video
that's actually hilarious
god*
Classic
perspective
i had to repair my brother's wifi antenna for his ps4 just the other day
the video is as real as you believe it is
luckily i dont have to buy him a ps5 now
just read the top comments
nah

Why would you give her a PS4?
At age 12 I was playing on my Nintendo 64 smh
The only reason to purchase a PS4 is for Persona 5 Royal.
To watch movies
🤔
My old ps4
true
Just slap a Blu-Ray drive in her PC
nah
Or get a USB 3.0 one
I did
good
fun game
Why play Bloodborne when you have Persona 5 Royal?
raging fun
best game ever
i have 600 hrs in that game
and god
the dlc
Maria Ludwig
omfg
funny how you become a god after eating a couple of umbilical cords
Isn't that the norm
xd Alright peace out I gtg
you too good hunter
Delicious I like them deep fried
xdd
wassup
i need a hand with a build if anyone can give me a hand
ill post the link in #links-and-selfpromotion
Buddy it’s not showing
@uncut pelican I don't know shrugs
Put it together on pcpartpicker.com @marsh gorge
okay
Might want to use uk.pcpartpicker.com/list @marsh gorge
Depending on where u live u can change the region
okay, bear with
@uncut pelican no one told before it was a bad choice. My last build was 10 years ago a phenom ii with I think 1333 ddr3 ram set
is the 1660 super still relivant in 202
@marsh gorge looks good to me man
why is there no cooler
not looking to overclock, gonna use stock
oh
Stock cooler
unless a good deal on an aio pops up
there was an aio 50 bucks a couple days ago
@snow vale before you run, could you verify that we had a "interesting" visitor in voice chat?
Me? @foggy hazel
not you @violet harness
Cause I visited the vc
just after they left yes :)
i was only going to look at another cooler if i ever felt the need to overclock
dont want to push the stock cooler too far and risk damaging the cpu
ah nice
I was gonna talk but I had mic issues
true
the only reason i was asking about the build is because i want something thats good to upgrade from and will last a few years
dont want to run down the life of my laptop
msi leopard gp73 8re
Why would you put a 240 rad on a 3700X? Just slap a DRP4 or NH-D15 Black Edition on it.
Will a 3700x work for a 6800xt?
Yeah, but you'll see a little more performance overall if you get a 5600X
Yeah just the whole I waant it now thing
Smart Access Memory isn't entirely bogus, but it does only net you between 3 to 5 FPS
It's called "If you wait, you will get better things"
what does cas latency affect?
how much fps difference is there between cl18 and cl16 (3600mhz) bc i think i accidentally put cl18 on my cousins pcpartpicker list and he already mightve bought it
It's a fair difference.
CL18 3600Mhz is, basically the same as 3200Mhz CL16
But 3600Mhz CL16 is fest
Like, real fest
yeah but how much FPS loss?
Probably 2 to 3 depending on the CPU
It's nothing earthshattering, but for the price differential, you might as well get 3600Mhz CL16.
Ok, Nvidia Reflex + Boost in Destiny 2 is... really good...
I may get a 3080 over the 6800XT...
would a 750 watt psu be enough for a build using a 5600x and a 3080?
Maybe
I would recommend a 5600X instead
It'd have to be a good one though.
probably, just make sure its a good 750w
With good OCP
Reason: Bad word usage
good to know, i think ima just get an 850w
Dang, I might cop one of those when I get my 3080.
Friggin Nvidia Reflex in Destiny 2 makes it feel so much smoother.
I wish AMD had something like Reflex, but I don't think they could realistically make something like that.
@versed rock how much is a 3080 in the us?
I want a CPU and GPU launch that has no online presence for the first 6 months.
That way Scalpers can't exist.
Covid is sad
So when u think 3080 will be back in stock
in a few months at worst
i have a $700 budget can someone make me a part list.\
Used Dell Optiplex + GPU and PSU
That's your realistic best option under 1000 USD
At least right now.
just don't make him buy a overpriced motherboard
I'll help you out
k thank you
Hey I need some help on a pc I recently built
Its a 9900k with no gpu yet
a phantomgaming 4 ac
budget?
16 gigs of trident z 3200 cl16
and the ssd is a Adata sx6000pnp
@foggy hazel whats happening is I installed windows a few days ago and today I booted to a screen of reinsert proper boot device, but when I opened bios nothing was there
besides the ssd
I tried to reinstall windows but the ssd doesn't pop up as an option
Did your re-seat the SSD?
yes
Can someone help me pick parts?
what's your budget?
for gaming,streaming,editing?
Gaming mainly with some college stuff
kk
Is 10100f just the 10100 without integrated graphics or is there more too it
I want to start with something then upgrade it in 2 or 3 months
Idk

16 gigs of trident z 3200 cl16
and the ssd is a Adata sx6000pnp
whats happening is I installed windows a few days ago and today I booted to a screen of reinsert proper boot device, but when I opened bios nothing was there
besides the ssd
I tried to reinstall windows but the ssd doesn't pop up as an option
@little leaf you tried to reset the bios?
not yet
please do
would that wipe the drive?
no
ok I'll do that in a sec
resetting the cmos/bios has no bearing on the drive itself
Oh I thought you meant something else
whats the play Lian Li Unifans or Corsair iQue QL120 for a lian li 011 dynamic
i'd probably spend 10 dollars on that pc
It’s listed for $75 😬
not worth it at all
joined facebook in 2009
built computer in 2009
there's no way it's like new either
it's been playing minecraft since minecraft came out
Lmaooo
The first gen i7 is still a great value CPU though
Would it be good for like a home workstation tho?
@mighty wadi hell no
Throw an SSD in it and it would be good for word processing and web browsing
I would still try to get it lowered to around $50
Oh I see, it’s probably not any better than my family’s current dinosaur that’s still running windows vista
windows vista is not a secure operating system
Just on the basis of getting a new OS with security updates I would get it then
Yeah that’s true but we don’t really use the pc anymore
I got all of our pictures off of it that we wanted to keep it’s just sitting there rn
I’m trying to figure out what to do with it
install ubuntu and use it as a server pc
retro gaming machine is an option
i'd recycle it because i'm not 5head 
you could use it as a small table!
^
use the disc drive as a cup holder
I mean if all you're going to do is run chrome then it might work
otherwise I'd say it's a waste of cash
Would would I have to do to make it for like schoolwork and maybe a little gaming stuff?
the worst part of that pc when it comes to gaming is probably the 270 tbh
you would want to get an ssd in there
anyone know a good psu for a r5 3600 and 5600xt?
I mean I feel like even modern minecraft would run like garbage on that thing
probably, but the 860 can still get near playable framerates on low settings
maybe vanilla but idk about huge servers
that is with a 2070 tho
So what ssd would you recommend for it then?
I would say an m.2 but the mobo isnt even listed so I dont know if itd be supported
I threw a 1070 in a pc with a first gen i7 and was getting like 80fps in rust
just slap a cheap sata ssd in there
Reason: Bad word usage
@zinc marsh m.2 wasn't really a thing then
Yeah I figured
it's probably only sata 3
It has an AMD gpu if that helps
Oh cool I just got regular
@mighty wadi like i said, thats probably one of the weakest links
Can someone please explain the differenc between kraken z73 and x73, i can put a video on the coolers screen on both of them right?
I'd say it isnt worth the 75$, especially because itd be a pain upgrading with all the old components
@little osprey main difference is radiator thickness from what i found
nvm im dumb
@little osprey only the z has the screen
yeah looking here the x only has rgb
Okay, what about this listing? It’s priced at $250 but price is negotiable
once again, hell no
better value, but still over priced
for 250$ HELLLLL NO
you can find a 1080 for that much
Ayo what price would y’all go for then?
for that machine? I'd maybe be willing to spend a 20 on it
apparently im not stingy
For sure, but I’m so new to the pc scene and just want something affordable and probably prebuilt because I have no idea what’s good or not
I mean youd probably be better off just doing school work on a phone than spending money on those pcs imo
If you're just looking to do some school work and gaming I'd say around 400-600$ is a good price range
true
Thanks for the input yall
I'm on a 600$ pc rn
Now that I think about it you can run most games with a 600$ pc, just have to mess with setting and such pretty often
if you were just looking for gaming I'd honestly say just go one of the new consoles, prob gonna be the best experience youll get for the price
disagree
their the best price to performance option but you still have to pay for online and other things
@foggy hazel it did nothing
hmm
any suggestions for my first build
no cap that builds kinda bad for the price
what wud u change lol
id go for a 5500xt instead of a 5600 xt
its like a 10 fps drop for 300$ less
and more vram
this is cad
yeah lmaoo
yeahh
i was bouta say 1.4k too much for that
yeah its like 1000 usd
don't get rgb ram
i want rgb tho 😦
Lian li is doing a giveaway
Do you need a stand-off in every designated zone? What if I don’t have anymore
you could prob squeeze in a 3070 in that list
Looking to build my first custom pc. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jjLFZZ - I want to use the Noctua NH-D15 with an Aorus Master (rev 1.2 that has the Q Flash BIOS) and I am unsure whether the memory I have chosen would have enough clearance with the heat spreaders on the RAM sticks with that cooler. I don't want liquid cooling since I have a pet for fear it would don't want it lap up coolant! Can someone advise?
what mobo shud i get tho lol
well it's an r5 3600 you don't need anything major
asrock b550 pg4 is what i have for mine
ur thinking of the wrong board
@zenith sentinel purpose?
@zenith sentinel uhh i wouldnt buy a windows key for 189 btw
Gaming + development
yeah honestly just hop on ebay and get one for like 25
no cap get a 3080 if your buying a saphire
their both out of stock and both 700$
- green gang 😎
Yeah, if you're looking for raytracing and such you're going to want to go with a 3080
Then it means paying a ton more for a G-Sync monitor... I use a Macbook Pro - and that monitor will work with it as well.
So Freesync for me.
...
you dont NEED a gsync monitor
you can use freesync on n-vidia
it would still work fine
gsync is just slightly better
freesync works fine
that psu seems like a bit much
it uses a usb type c connector. Does RTX 3080 have that?
Maybe - but can use it in other builds if ever I upgrade - will have some headroom.
why would you spend that much on a graphics card and then use usb c for your video output
^
Because of the bandwidth.
@small osprey thats still video..
but 3080 doesnt have usb c
for like a quest maybe
if u want usb c u need a 6800/6800xt
Is charging 45 to building a PC too much?
that what I went for ... 😉
@robust birch i would probably charge more ngl
Welp i missed my chance ffs
Though I did say the person that if waited 1 more day the pc would cost 1000+
I just feel like if you're going to spend that much on a graphics card youd want to use it to its full potential, which is using a display cable on a nice monitor
