Wdym barely

#

They don't support ryzen 5000 series lol

#

At all

hoary lichen
#

Lmao

#

Then i got my facts right for once

#

๐Ÿ˜ณ

little osprey
#

yeah i just suck with explaining

hoary lichen
#

@little osprey quick question

#

Can i overclock the ryzen 3 3100

#

?

little osprey
#

yeah

earnest olive
#

you can but it won't do much

#

PBO better for gaming

little osprey
#

^ only goes up like .3

hoary lichen
#

@earnest olive im kinda uncomfortable with overclocking anyways thx for the answer tho

earnest olive
#

@hoary lichen PBO is AMD's auto overclocking function

#

it's safe

elfin hemlock
#

does anyone know if the 1650 pairs well with a 2600

little osprey
#

it should but im not sure

granite barn
#

is 2666 mhz ram

#

alright

little osprey
#

cpu?

granite barn
#

ryzen 3 3100

little osprey
#

higher would be better

vital warren
#

atleast get 3000

little osprey
#

^

granite barn
#

ok

little osprey
#

since it is zen 3

reef cape
#

asus tuff gaming b550 plus or asrock steel legend b550 ??

little osprey
#

they both are good boards

#

but it seems the asus one is better

reef cape
#

ive always been a fan of asus

little osprey
reef cape
#

thx

vital oracle
little osprey
#

looks good to me but get input from more people

midnight jasper
#

among us anyone?

little osprey
versed rock
#

Atom, for that image on those 2 motherboards and why one is better than the other. The ports and USB stuff is correct, but I'd call the OC'ing stuff bogus.

#

4800Mhz RAM vs 4733Mhz is virtually no difference.

#

And they literally say nothing about how it is "easier to OC" on the TUF B550-Plus

soft solstice
#

The TUF and MSI Gaming Edge will be $50 off on Newegg btw

little osprey
#

it probably did i just didnt read it all through

soft solstice
#

A number of X570 and B550 boards will be on sale this Black Friday based on their ad

little osprey
#

now that i look it seems the steel legend supports higher ram frequencies?

soft solstice
#

I don't see anyone getting over 3600mhz for RAM unless it's certain circumstances in which a majority of people don't need

pseudo forge
#

When buying a PSU what should you avoid

soft solstice
#

The main two are 3200mhz and 3600mhz so those should be the only thing looked at for the motherboard when it comes to RAM speeds supported

#

@pseudo forge Gold+ are usually recommended and some can be trash. EVGA and Corsair ik a lot of people recommend, but some can still suck

#

Always play it somewhat safe by getting a decent amount more wattage than say pc part picker might show

pseudo forge
#

Okay appreciate it

soft solstice
#

a 3080 with a 5900x for example would probably need an 850w, but a 3070 with a 5600x could run with a 750w or possibly even a 650w although I personally wouldn't going that low

#

what are your specs?

pseudo forge
#

Iโ€™ve got a 3080/5600x

soft solstice
#

same!

pseudo forge
#

9 ll120

soft solstice
#

which 3080?

pseudo forge
#

Asus tuf

soft solstice
#

ah

#

I got the Gaming X Trio from MSI

pseudo forge
#

I havenโ€™t used it yet

#

Gonna build my pc soon

soft solstice
#

mine hasn't arrived yet

pseudo forge
#

What psu do you have?

soft solstice
#

I buy my parts this Friday and then I plan to build it in mid December

#

I'm getting an 850w Corsair RMx

pseudo forge
#

Black Friday ๐Ÿ˜Ž

soft solstice
#

yeah ๐Ÿ˜Ž

#

the Asus TUF and MSI Gaming Edge are going to be on sale so I'm deciding between those two

pseudo forge
#

Iโ€™ve got my ram motherboard m.2 really cheap

#

Also snagged 3 ql120 for cheap

near nacelle
#

I should probably get parts for a build on black Friday/Cyber Monday

versed apex

near nacelle
#

yeah

little osprey
versed apex
#

Thanks

near nacelle
#

The 'Build Prescription' I got at the beginning of the year has definitely increased in price. My original/current goal is a PC with an $850 budget that can be VR comp., and be used for Streaming with my HD60S

#

I would send a link to the old list, but I'm not high enough lvl to post links or something

little osprey
#

you should be

near nacelle
#

oh

#

i guess it works

#

What new stuff do you consider compared to the stuff I have on that list?

#

or are there similar alternatives to some parts, I mean

vital oracle
#

is t force better than crucial for ram?

covert glade
#

uh

#

mig 500$ for a 1660 super?

#

oh wait its just because its out of stock nvm

stoic island
#

@vital oracle wrong way around

#

Crucial is better than Team's T Force ram

little osprey
#

yeah 500 for a 1660s is a lot

stoic island
#

Dark pros are the only exception, since they use b die

little osprey
#

his ram is 3000mhz

stoic island
#

because @vital oracle Crucial is owned by Micron, the people that actually makes a good amount of the ram

little osprey
#

msi 1660ti or gigabyte 1660s?

stoic island
#

1660 super usually better value

covert glade
#

@near nacelle I'm no expert but that list looks pretty good to me

little osprey
#

ok just wondering cause this guy had the 1660s for 500 and i found a 1660ti for 320

#

i found a super for the same price nvm

#

@near nacelle

carmine marten
#

Can get a 2060 for 320 but it's out of stock for a bit

low star
#

I canโ€™t find a place with a Rtx 2060 for rog

#

They are all overpriced

little osprey
#

true

low star
#

They literally cost $600

carmine marten
#

Yeah that's bc the well priced ones are out of stock

little osprey
#

and yes @near nacelle there is a 2060 for about 360 right now

carmine marten
#

That's why I said it would be out of stock for a bit

low star
#

However on adorma the rog Rtx 2060 is $370

little osprey
#

nvm its out of stock :/

near nacelle
#

Thanks, @little osprey and @covert glade . My tech lingo is a bit fuzzy since January

#

so you changed the storage, CPU, and GTX/video card on the list

little osprey
#

oh yea you originally had a 2700 right?

near nacelle
#

It was a 2600 6 core

little osprey
#

oh well yeah it was the same price for a zen 3 cpu

#

you can also get a b550 mobo for future upgrade but thats your choice

near nacelle
#

ye

#

again, thanks for the help

#

I might just use LED strips and whatnot for the color

little osprey
#

yeah thats fine

near nacelle
#

OKEI

#

again thanks a bunch!

little osprey

primal belfry
#

how long is rtx 30 series gonna be?

stoic island
#

The length of the cards..?

little osprey
#

or how long will they last?

jagged ember
#

Or both?

solemn rampart
#

Wide

#

They will be wide

little osprey
#

are*

solemn rampart
#

Sorry yes are

primal belfry
stoic island
#

@primal belfry which card do you want to know about?

little osprey
#

its probably a quick search to know the length but we can help

stoic island
#

3090/3080/3070 and each version have different lengths

#

@primal belfry To start off, 3090 Founder's edition length is 336mm
3080 Founder's edition is 285mm
3070 Founder's edition is 242mm
Aftermarket cards have different lengths

little osprey
#

^

weak field
#

l o n g

primal belfry
stoic island
#

There's different aftermarket cards

little osprey
#

i dont think it gets smaller than 240mm

stoic island
#

for example, something like a kinpin would be huge

#

while something like a zotac 2x would be pretty small

#

MSI Ventus 2x 3070 is 232mm for example

#

while the 3070 FTW3 is 300mm

jaunty nacelle
#

would a 3060 ti and a i5-10400 be a good combo

little osprey
#

maybe a i7-10700k would be a better pair. because as of rn we have no performance data on the 3060ti

primal belfry
broken spire
#

alright, so i'm having some weird clicking noise coming from my pc anybody have any ideas?

stoic island
#

@broken spire figure out which component is making the sound

#

First suspicion is HDD dying

obsidian wolf
stoic island
#

or something getting caught in the fans

broken spire
#

its a new hdd and i think its the psu

#

cant exactly isolate the sound

obsidian wolf
#

Opinions on that build above please ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

broken spire
stoic island
#

holy

#

wtf is that psu

#

please don't get that psu

broken spire
#

yep

stoic island
#

I didn't even know smart had x30 series

#

either way

#

really bad

little osprey
#

wow i didnt even notice that psu was so low haha

stoic island
#

@obsidian wolf that 5700xt is really overpriced

#

should be 400usd

little osprey
#

^

stoic island
#

SSD Wise I'd much rather get a MP34 1tb for 2$ more

little osprey
#

^

stoic island
#

PSU Wise... At least get an EVGA BA 500w

#

TT Smart is not a good PSU

obsidian wolf
#

I change it to that one

obsidian wolf
little osprey
#

yes

stoic island
#

@obsidian wolf I'd change the ram to be 3600mhz cl16

#

and change SSD

obsidian wolf
#

;v

stoic island
#

PLEASE do not get a M.2 WD blue

#

there's

little osprey
stoic island
#

no reason to

#

@little osprey meh, depends on the model

little osprey
#

ok cause i would recommend the msi mech oc which is going for 350 rn

stoic island
#
#

here's the thing

#

MSI Radeon cards are p bad thermally

#

So I'd rather not recommend them

broken spire
#

honestly i would go with nvidia on this

stoic island
#

at 400$ nah

obsidian wolf
#

Price

#

Wise

#

3070

#

Is just overcost compare to that one

stoic island
#

what

obsidian wolf
#

500$

little osprey
#

3070 would be 500+

obsidian wolf
#

Thats why I went Radeon

stoic island
#

3070 at 500$ would beat the crap out of that 5700xt in your list for 480$

viral ore
#

^

obsidian wolf
#

:v

viral ore
#

beat the pants off it

little osprey
#

true

viral ore
#

knock its socks off

#

throw it in the fricking garbage disposal

little osprey
#

we get it ๐Ÿ™‚

viral ore
#

wipe the bathroom floor with it

obsidian wolf
#

Question

viral ore
glacial umbra
#

clean the toilet bowl with it

obsidian wolf
#

Which one is better

viral ore
#

hell yeah

glacial umbra
#

clean off a dusty 2000s PC with it

obsidian wolf
#

Latest Radeon or lates nvidia?

glacial umbra
#

whichever one you can find in stock

stoic island
#

5700xt isn't latest generation btw

viral ore
#

6800xt is p good for 650, but might be too much

stoic island
#

6800 is the latest generation

little osprey
#

nvidia to me seems better

stoic island
#

5700xt vs 3070 is comparing last gen Radeon to current gen Nvidia

viral ore
#

3060ti coming soon, of course

little osprey
#

yeah but he said latest for both which would be 3090 and 6800xt as of now since 6900 isnt out

viral ore
#

lastest as in generation, not best

little osprey
#

^ but which is better from latest?

viral ore
#

6800xt

#

because its significantly cheaper

#

and is actually justifiable for gaming

#

unlike the 3090

#

which is just a waste, unless youre actually playing 4k 144hz+

obsidian wolf
#

Quite interesting

#

Thx

From seasonics official website

#

Idk if it means much but 3070ti and 3080ti is listedd

broken spire
#

@stoic island im pretty sure its my powersupply should i contact their costumer support since it has a 5 year warranty or go about it another way?

stoic island
#

Look at it

#

because clicking a good amount of time means something is getting caught in a fan

formal cosmos
#

Should I get a 5700xt?

broken spire
#

no

#

nvidia is better for last gen

formal cosmos
#

I would get it but people say a lot of bad reviews

stoic island
#

eh

#

5700xt at 400$ is about as good a value you can get from last gen rn

#

everything else be out of stock and all

little osprey
#

@stoic island do driver problems exist for 5700xt as much as they say

stoic island
#

A lot less than how it's portrayed.

formal cosmos
#

Do you have a 5700xt? @little osprey

stoic island
#

It's still a bit of a problem, but the constant black screening on launch is gone

little osprey
#

@formal cosmos its in my name ๐Ÿ™‚

formal cosmos
#

Do you have problems with it?

little osprey
#

i just got it thats why i asked about the driver issues

formal cosmos
#

Oh

stoic island
#

@little osprey basically, no major issues now

little osprey
#

alr thanks

stoic island
#

There's still occasional stuff

#

but it's not a problem anymore

little osprey
#

its still a good card from what ive heard

stoic island
#

mhm

#

at launch the drivers were absolute crap

formal cosmos
stoic island
#

but they slowly refined it

#

...

#

@formal cosmos a 5700xt can't compare with current gen

#

if current gen is an option, choose it over 5700xt.

#

a 3070 will wipe the floor with a 5700xt

little osprey
#

^

formal cosmos
#

Ok

little osprey
#

if you can get the 3070 go for it

#

i honestly couldnt wait so i got the 5700xt

stoic island
#

5700xt is decent compared against other last gen parts

#

but can't really compete with current gen

arctic jungle
#

@stoic island right now 5700xt is 350$, making it a good higher midrange option

stoic island
#

antago

#

you know my answer to msi radeon cards

arctic jungle
#

Ikik

#

But like

stoic island
#

:P

#

that xfx triple thing is nice at 410$ tho

little osprey
#

yeah i just got it cause its still a good card. i can upgrade later down the line when the hype for the new cards go down

arctic jungle
#

350$ for 5700xt is pretty decent, seeing it stacked up against 560xt and 2060 and a couple 2060s

stoic island
#

I wish it was a better model tho

#

like say the asrock one

#

and I'd love it

arctic jungle
#

3060 ti tho may or may not be in the 300-400$ price range soon tho so ๐Ÿ‘€

stoic island
#

we'll have to watch for it

little osprey
#

^

stoic island
#

stock situation

little osprey
#

yeup

#

pretty much will be the same as the other cards

arctic jungle
#

Ofc but lack of stock is almost never a reason to settle for something worse

low star
#

Just bought a Ryzen 7 3700x today

arctic jungle
#

I'm still dreaming of them restocking lian li uni sl

stoic island
#

@arctic jungle I mean we have to wait for specs and perf and all, then we have to consider stock situation

arctic jungle
#

Mhm

#

Ok gn

stoic island
#

Gamers Nexus to you too

little osprey
#

werent performance charts leaked for 3060

stoic island

you know what else was leaked

amd whooping Nvidia

3060? That doesnโ€™t exist

stoic island

:P

We've got official box art/designs from multiple sources so I'd say it exists

#

as in boxes for dif models

stoic island
#

glaring problems @random galleon case and PSU

#

TT Smart likes blowing up, and that's only being half sarcastic

#

H510 has bad airflow

little osprey
#

could get better mobo and samsung bad ssd from what ive heard

stoic island
#

Next, for upwards of 1000$ for a build, Rx580 is a joke no offense

#

Ram wise, usually people won't need more than 16gb, but if you have a need for 32gb, oh well.

little osprey
#

pretty sure you can get a 5600xt for like 40 dollars more than that 580

stoic island
#

mhm, it's just not a good idea for a rx580 nowadays

#

1660 super is like 30$ more

#

Motherboard wise I'd get B550, any B550 board

random galleon
#

Honestly, I know jack all about what a good mobo is

stoic island
#

nice upgradability

little osprey
#

stoic island

@little osprey yes it does, or are you talking about the bracelet

formal cosmos

My cousin used one for his build

grand cradle

@severe axle True, i cant do much about it in my current case, unless i downgrade to a smaller rad and mount it on the side. But i will take that into consideration if i build a new PC or replace the case

#

It works pretty well for me though

is a buzzing noise coming from a psu that is out on a table while playing a game a cause for concern?

this is only a problem with aios because the pump is on top

yeah whatever

#

Ryzen 2700 OC's at 4Ghz. Tops out around 45-50 c Heavy load. been treating me good for about a year now mounted on bottom

but orientation shouldnt be a problem

severe axle
#

welp it is

little osprey
#

how?

grand cradle
#

The pump is still quite too

severe axle
#

if you look at the video, liquid just sits at the bottom when orientated like that

hoary lichen
#

Instead of getting a anti static bracelet i might build the pc with underwear on๐Ÿ˜ณ

severe axle
#

they replace some metal on aio with clear glass

hoary lichen
#

Jk

and you can see the difference in how the liquid flow changes when they move the radiator to above

someone else quoted this video @earnest olive was it you?

earnest olive
#

huh

#

yesterday someone was misquoting it at me

grand cradle
#

@hoary lichen Just do it in your kitchen (non carpet floors) with your socks off. Touch the case to ground lol

earnest olive
#

to claim my aio placement was wrong

hoary lichen
#

I have tiles is that good?

#

Or concrete

earnest olive
#

why?

grand cradle
#

Perfect

earnest olive
#

did someone do a bad mount

severe axle
#

yes, lol

little osprey
#

this guy says bottom mount is bad

formal cosmos
#

@sharp tundra you almost done?

grand cradle
#

I'd assume tile's are best

sharp tundra
#

Almost

earnest olive
#

yeah bottom mount is terrible

#

bottom mount will perform badly and damage the pump more quickly

#

you never want the pump to be the highest point in the loop

severe axle
#

going to have to rma it when it wouldnโ€™t of needed a rma in the first place

little osprey
#

ok i know that

earnest olive
#

the TLDW of that video is
top mount (perfect) > front mount tubes down (still good) > front mount tubes up (not significant performance loss but may be noisier) > bottom mount (will murder your temps and aio)

grand cradle
#

@earnest olive I did the bad mount lol my case only fits a 360mm rad on the bottom though

#

My whole set up is pretty bad though

earnest olive
#

what case? never seen one like that

#

Some pink and white Inwin

get b550 board for future upgrades

jaunty nacelle
#

h510 is bad

#

get a 4000d

#

around the same price

formal cosmos
#

I just wanted to see another build that was around the same price but just black themed instead of white

little osprey
#

also mp34 ssd better

ripe wedge
#

the sn750 500gb is only a tad more expensive than the mp34 500gb

#

but the sn750 is better

#

its only by a few dollars

vital warren
#

that build is solid but remeber the psu price isnt listed

#

fyi

little osprey
broken spire
#

should i be concerned if my aio makes some uhh sloshy water noises after my pc was on its side for a second?

sharp tundra
bitter flint
#

Quick question about psus, does bronze vs gold really matter much?

sharp tundra
#

Its the efficiency rating, gold is better than bronze

bitter flint
#

Right, but that's all it affects, correct? Not like how it performs/reliability?

sharp tundra
#

Reliability, and available wattage before it saves itself from too much power draw

hoary lichen
#

My parts are coming in like 2 days

sharp tundra
#

Typically the higher the wattage you go, the higher you want the rating to be

jaunty nacelle
#

lucky you

hoary lichen

Havent ordered the gpu yet

ive been wanting to build a pc since 2017, sucks saving up

We dont talk about it

๐Ÿ˜ญ

bitter flint
#

And thank you Nomad

hoary lichen
#

@bitter flint

#

I heard that

#

You should multiply the wattage by 1.5

#

And get just a little above or less of what it equals to

#

To pick the psu

#

Im not sure tho

#

reminder im dumb

little osprey
#

you can probably get a better case tbh

formal cosmos
#

Ye

hoary lichen
#

Try to get cl16 not cl18

#

Rgb doesnt matter that much

broken spire
hoary lichen
#

I bought a 600 dollar dirt bike at some point too

little osprey
#

man i keep overseeing the cl18

#

but yeah cl16 is better

bitter flint
#

@hoary lichen thank you!

hoary lichen
#

I would also get

#

A 80+gold @bitter flint

#

Since its more efficient

little osprey
#

in your pcpp is should say estimated wattage

hoary lichen
#

Multiply that by 1.5

#

๐Ÿง€

#

Say its like

little osprey
#

if about 430 get like 600w

hoary lichen
#

266

#

X 1.5

#

400 would be good

#

But get

#

500

bitter flint
#

My current total wattage is 319, so I could go pretty low. I wouldn't want less than 600 tbh though

hoary lichen
#

Same

#

Im getting a 600 w 80+ gold

little osprey
#

you can probably get away with 550

bitter flint
hoary lichen

I only chose 600 cause im going to be upgrading later on

every extra LED is an extra 5 frames smh

thatโ€™s why I have 10 RGB AFANS

hoary lichen

Im only gonna have led strips and rgb fans in my build

jaunty nacelle

waste of money

shouldve put that money towards cable management stuff!!

Iโ€™m spending more on RGB cause I feel like it lol

#

And itโ€™s not too much of a price increase

hoary lichen

@formal cosmos can you send your build again?

little osprey

yeah rgb is a preference ofc it is sometimes overpriced

formal cosmos
hoary lichen
#

Alr thx

eager flower
#

I mean I donโ€™t understand bashing RGB

formal cosmos
#

Iโ€™m changing the mobo back to the asrock b550

eager flower

Like if people want to pay more for it to look nicer in their opinion, let them lmao

hoary lichen

Here let me show you some good ram thats cheaper

#

Brb

eager flower

Like obviously the people buying RGB parts know theyโ€™re paying more

hoary lichen
#

@formal cosmos

little osprey
eager flower
#

In my case I just believe if Iโ€™m going to have my PC until it dies, I might as well spend extra on RGB and make it nice to look at

eager flower
#

It just depends on budget

#

Donโ€™t buy RGB on a 1k setup or less lmao

little osprey
#

oh yea fs if youre willing to spend more on it then go for it

eager flower
#

Even still it depends

#

Yeah obviously, it all depends on whoโ€™s buying it

little osprey
#

yeah i really dont care much for rgb. the only thing rgb in my build would be the case fans lol

eager flower

Yeah itโ€™s all preference lol

formal cosmos
hoary lichen

@formal cosmos try getting a 600 w power supply or 700 if youโ€™re gonna upgrade

formal cosmos
#

Itโ€™s 750w

hoary lichen
#

I mean you can choose

#

I did 399 x 1.5

#

You need like 600-700 w

little osprey
#

he has a 750w. hes fine

hoary lichen
#

Alr

formal cosmos
#

Iโ€™m confused why you used 1.5

hoary lichen
#

Its recommended by a lot of people

#

๐Ÿ—ฟ

#

And why would you need 2x the wattage you need

little osprey
#

also 750 is fine if hes getting a 3070

deep echo
#

my build is about the same estimated power draw and im using a 550W psu with zero issues

#

generally that's what I've seen recommended from the research I've done

#

but I'm not sure if an rtx 3070 requires more oomph, that might be the case

little osprey
#

yes it does haha

hoary lichen
#

I was gonna put the pc where my piano is

#

But i forgot that

#

The heater is right next to it

#

๐Ÿ—ฟ

#

And my room is hot all the time

Its time to buy a fan

deep echo

how accurate is pcpartpickers wattage estimation though? cause mine is right at 394W and I have a 550W psu

hoary lichen

Its good

Linus and bitwit depend on it

You can use alternatives if you want

It just depends on your usage and if you OC

Heres my build

any good budget Monitors for a 3600/5700XT Build?

deep echo

I've trusted it before with my own builds, just have heard that 700/750W is generally overkill for a psu unless you're running multiple gpus

karmic bobcat

@mortal void you prefer high 1080P or around 60FPS 1440p?

I wouldโ€™ve been able to put it in the case already

@cloud gyro what monitor do you have

can prob do a 3080 for that budget

Im only getting one monitor for now

but you would have to wait

yeah, you would have to wait

fervent jay

like I check all american stores IDK about my country

hoary lichen

Its prob going back in stock in like 1-2 weeks

#

Idk

zinc marsh
#

prob be in stock around January if we're lucky

hoary lichen
#

Just keep checking

fervent jay
#

yup

cloud gyro
zinc marsh
#

they probably stock a few on each site everyday, the issue is that people have bots running that are buying em immediately

fervent jay
#

like in my country many stores have got stock and they are not many people are not buying but like I wanna buy everything online cos idk wanna be exposed to the rona

hoary lichen
#

Does anyone have any cheap 144hz monitor they found?

zinc marsh

you looking for 1440p or 1080?

hoary lichen

Prob

#

1440

๐Ÿ—ฟ

1440 you can prob do around 350

Thatโ€™s wish

for your build you want 1440?

Actually nvm

#

1080p

karmic bobcat
#

What is your build?

hoary lichen
#

Here

little osprey
#

3100

hoary lichen
#

Im gonna upgrade later on

zinc marsh
#

what would you be upgrading?

karmic bobcat
#

Yeah 1080p

hoary lichen
#

I already bought the cpu when it was at $119

karmic bobcat
#

And I would imagine first comes the cpu upgrade

hoary lichen
#

Yep

karmic bobcat
#

Because 4C/8T isnโ€™t going to age well

#

Then GPU or SSD. Depends on which need comes first

hoary lichen
#

Yea

zinc marsh
#

because I would honestly say a 1080p monitor is kind of a waste if you're going to be buying any of the new gen gpus

karmic bobcat
#

I disagree

#

If these 3060 rumors are to be true

hoary lichen
#

I wont be buying it until like 1 year from now

karmic bobcat
#

๐Ÿ˜

zinc marsh
#

well I'm talking about the ones we know about right now

karmic bobcat
#

Because 20XX-30XX GPUs are just ridiculously price gauged

hoary lichen
#

Theyve been raising the prices

fervent jay
#

thoughts on R5 5600x combined with RTX 3080 FE?

karmic bobcat
#

Right now itโ€™s just a crap time to buy a โ€˜modernโ€™ GPU that wonโ€™t age like crap

zinc marsh
#

raising prices to what?

karmic bobcat
#

A 2070 Super for like 800 LMAO

hoary lichen
#

Before the build was like

#

780

#

Now its like

#

830

zinc marsh
#

really? I feel like buying a 3000 gpu isnt a bad idea

fervent jay
zinc marsh
#

especially a 3080

karmic bobcat
#

It isnโ€™t a bad idea

hoary lichen
#

Im getting a 5600 xt

#

๐Ÿ—ฟ

karmic bobcat
#

But. You wonโ€™t get it at the MSRP

zinc marsh
#

well I mean I wouldnt buy it for any of the garbage scalp prices

#

I'd wait till they are actually in stock

karmic bobcat
#

PC building should be the best itโ€™s ever been. But because of gauging. All prices are going up

#

Like the 1600AF is 234 atm, 2600 is out of stock, and 3600 is unstable in terms of stock and actual price

#

GPUs are even worse

#

Only thing thatโ€™s going down is storage prices

hoary lichen
#

I bought the parts before they went up

hoary cloak
#

whats a good gpu for a 3600xt

hoary lichen

Man

wait 1600af is actually in stock? heard its pretty rare to find that cpu

Intel lacks PCI-4 support but. However; we see PCI-4 has marginal improvement over PCI-3. As most benchmarks prior to 50XX series CPUs were on X490 boards

hoary lichen

Thats good

#

Might wanna wait until prices go down a bit

fallen harbor

but thing is i need it to be able to stream and record which is not good

jaunty nacelle

ill probably get a 10400 then upgrade to a AMD chip when their AM5 socket gets released with DDR5

and edit cuase i need to be able to edit my own videos
