amd has much better upgradeability than intel
but I have no idea if and when I'll upgrade
amd also has backwards mobo compatibility
If you buy the right processor for what youโre doing you should never have to OC
Eh don't worry about the upgrade potential, it's a nice to have if you think you're gonna want an upgrade soon. But if your intention is to keep it for a while and then upgrade to the latest platform that option is kind of moot then
@glacial umbra Intel 11 gens are supposed to fit in current boards
hey real quick any motherboard suggetions other than this one? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VMHyK3
you could get 32 gbs of memory for like less than double
also thats not a lot of ssd
i already have a 500gb harddrive
ah
ita just extra
It ensures Zen 2 will work, it's not much more
80$
so switch one B550m hdv or por-m2?
this is my first build so im kinda confused tbh xD
Basically, dram in ssd = great, HMB = decent, dramless = avoid at all costs imo
hmmm
I'll get an SSD with dram brb
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4mkj4D/crucial-mx500-250gb-25-solid-state-drive-ct250mx500ssd1 that's always been a pretty good alternative to Samsung's sata drives
Btw @obsidian dove you sure you only want 250gb?
I'm looking through and I'd get a 500gb ssd
i already have a 500gb harddrive
And yeah there's plenty of good boards in that price range for Ryzen 9s
is the ADATA Swordfish any good?
i own
@glacial umbra it's basically a crucial P2 afaik
Well question, do you think you're gonna want multiple Gen 4 NVME drives?
i already have one I own the 250 was extra
a 500gb
Yes I'd get a 500gb ssd on top of that
ok
I personally have my 1tb drive filled up to ~650gb and my videos are offloaded to my HDD
So 250gb ssd seems pretty small to me
@marsh fulcrum if that was for me. i only need 1-2
@noble night I'd try B550 aorus elite ax
Do you need Gen 4 speeds you think?
160$ on Newegg last I checked
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mwrYcf/seagate-barracuda-computer-2-tb-35-7200rpm-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm008 what about this its tb and around same price
idrc about the super technical stuff i just want a good mobo
@obsidian dove it's a hard drive
ik
Hard drives are slow asf compared to SSDs.
Sure, the Aorus Elite is a good pick then https://pcpartpicker.com/product/7HjNnQ/gigabyte-b550-aorus-elite-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-aorus-elite
What I gave you is a SSD.
thx so much
Especially for the money
Yea aorus elite is a b550 board with some of the fancy stuff, including bios flashback and a good sound chip
And ofc wifi if you need it
i see
ok coolo
so hows this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Xkn6Bc
i fixed some things
I still cant figure out the motherboard im on a strict budget
if i can't find the rx580, what's the next best gpu around that price?
@south ermine how do you set individual LL120 colors? I canโt figure it out for the life of me
@blazing aurora 1650s
thanks
np
Yes the 5500XT is just as good
@blazing aurora try 1650 super or 1660 super if you stretch the budget
1650 super is about the same price as 5500xt rn @stoic island
both are good
usually 1650 super is a good bit cheaper
so usually 1650 super easy choice
I'm so unbelievably excited to get the rest of my parts and build
^same
ofc
it's a bit stressful though
@stoic island the ASRock B450M-HDV R4.0 should come with an updated bios so it can support 3rd gen ryzen cpu's right
i mean like most motherboards come with updated bios
right?
Dm me if you have questions Iโll respond to them later
is there any budget b550?
is this a good build for the price? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KwWtCz
idk about that one chief
b550m hdv
b550 is at least 80 dollars
I'm getting me the b450 aorus elite
not bad list
me?
ye
oh okay thanks
it is what it is
...is that bad
pricing is screwed up rn and that's about as good as you can do
okay, do i need anything else like a fan or something
for example, cheap 1650 super used to be ~150$, cheap 500w PSU like a BR 500 usually is 50$
hm lemme see
pricing is pretty messy rn i can't lie
oh wait
that case doesn't come with fans
@blazing aurora get like a mx330-g air
55$ and gets you 3 fans included
okay i'll check it out
it's hard to get a nice lookin case under $100
are there any other cases w/ fans around that price to look into
I'm disappointed in my case choice
I didn't research it properly and just bought it because oooo shiny
which one did you choose
that looks pretty decent
get b550?
it's nice looking i'll give you that
is the Corsair 4000D Airflow Tempered Glass Mid-Tower ATX PC Case - White a good case?
4000d airflow is a decently good case
for the price it's good
@deep igloo just might want like another fan or two depends on you, only comes 2 fans stock.
hows the airflow on that one?
*the cougar one
mx410 mesh-g is also good, $60 for front mesh and 4 argb fans
Thanks! @stoic island what is a good case you would recommend?
@deep igloo TD500 mesh, a bit expensive, but great airflow and compatibility.
4000d is still a good case for the price
Alright thank you
like stock cooler?
when i say this i havent built a computer yet but I think it would be ok
yea i have heard good things about the amd stock paste
It wouldn't be like low temps like a noctua cooler would have but I think it would be ok
I found out what the problem with the ARGB was
oh
what is a good ryzen based pc that is aircooled for an $850-$900 budget?
fr
do u need a thick gpu
or a thick cpu
like what u gonna use it for
and tax or no tax
Thx Naed and Suko and Windeus for all da help :D
is this the best $700-$850 build i can get? the most intensive games im going to play are fortnite and war thunder. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/39Jn2V
oooooooooooof
@fossil halo mostly minecraft with heavy sharders or modpacks
um
aight i gotcha
wait
actually
mr fox
is that including tax or no
no
aight
fortnite im looking for 100+ on medium and war thunder i want to run at high or very hgih
well thats the minimum, so anythign higher than that would be cool
I would prob do a 3600 ryzen 5 tbh
unless you plan to only have a game and nothing else open
arent you not able to distinguish past 30 fps
can you build one or show me a better build
there can easily be a better build
yeah...
show me plz
If it were me I would do a ryzen 5 3600 and a 1660 ti or 2060
budget is roughly $800ish without monitor
periferals?
i have mouse keyboard and haeadsetwr
monitor is separate from pc budget
also what is the difference between ti, super, and normal
how good they are
ti is top
super is mid for the product and standard is standard
does the 3600x need a cooler or is stockgood enough
yee
is rgb a priority
not really but you can add if you want
ladies and gents is the rx580 at ~100 better than 5500 or 1650 super both priced at 180?
fans dont have to ve rgb
no they dont
aight
@vital oracle The stock cooler is prob good enough unless you plan to overclock
fox
this is what i have
however it is not the best i think
im in class rn lmfao
oh sorry
ima get dismissed in a couple mins
nah
dw
so ill send a better one
feel free to modify that one btw
fox i think this one is ok
its pretty good r7 2700x rx 5700
16 gb ram
um
one thing i can say
the ssd is a bit small
but u can throw in a hard drive later
aight lemme see urs hels
mhm
wow um i mean
that is a pretty big budget
im not that good with big budgets
i mean it looks good
thanks
idk if the case is good but it looks fine
Would the 5600x at all work for the 6800xt?
eh
Reason: Bad word usage
@little osprey I would get a b550 motherboard
hells
yes
u need fans
no
does the case come with fans?
yea
I'll get two p12 fans
@little osprey I would get a 1tb ssd
sure?
not in budget
i mean a boot drive should be ssd
and I don't need all I'm running on the ssd is windows
hdd is for games and other thing things
how much frames would a 3 3100 and a 1650 run on mw
cod mw
like 50 60
yea, we're not to the point where SSDs with large storage like 2TB are cheap enough (they're good deals, just not dirt cheap like HDD
yea
bet
send the pcpp
620 without gpu
so like 1k$?
guessint
budget?
@pearl blade https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LkHW9N this good
b550 board is better
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2Vfdqp what u think about my build ( Im not paying 220 for the mobo dont worry )
yea, i think you could do a b550 tomahawk for cheap now?
i want as much rgb as possible hence the name
tbh @deep igloo its all bad
๐
yea um
@fossil halo if youre on a budget build the 3700x is a little too much tbh
I'll remake it for you
it fits tho
like right in
whats your budget?
and i dont think i cheaped out on anything
600?
but you have no gpu so how are you going to display anything?
gpu is not part of the list
im getting gpu separately
prob a rx 570 or smth
cheap
the parts are cool, but i'm confused on the monitor, since you have the 3070, why just stay on a 1080p monitor? also curious if getting a 500gb m.2nvme would be better for the long run?
dont worry about gpu
@deep igloo https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rkb2kX
ok 1660super for about the same price rn
and its better
gpu is separate
than 570
k
ik but just giving recommendations
but gpu is not part of the build its weird
so it was just the mobo/ram?
RGB lit AF
no it wouldn't i need the moniter bc im running on a 60hz moniter and I'm going to run 1080p anyways
np
white
^
lmao
go with the corsair 4000d
midatk
interesting
mid tower*
BRO IF I CAN RUN 145FPS ON COD FOR 1200 BUT RUN 78FPS WITH M PC LOOKING LIKE A LGBTQ CONCERT IM HAPPY
LMAO
lol
brooski
๐ณ๏ธโ๐
also upgrade your board @fossil halo

out of the 3 motherboards which one is the best
atom i need wifi
are micro atx boards good?
PLEse
Oh my god
if you want wifi then get the pro vdh but other than that asrock
Please stop spamming
This is how you get banned lol
does it fit in budget tho
like send me a 620 list
i think someone said it before, when choosing a mobo, wifi shouldn't be a concern, since adding a wifi card is only $15-25
Theyre all good
im talking to the dude spamming
Get one with features you want
for your budget the b550 ds3h is good. its matx too
but i still got the boards with wifi because i don't feel like messing around with wifi cards
^
Wifi cards
ew
If you can't handle wifi cards, pc building might be a lil difficult
I've used them in my old pc
, i also have a crap load of wifi usbs
unreliable
but also if you dont want wifi card just use ethernet
If you have the option...
yea, boomer built houses don't have luxuries like that
can i get any ssd recomendations?
k
now would be a really good time to buy ssd, they're all on sale
Compare prices first
Usually don't bother to lol
same
Crucial P1

eh
Decent overall
?
I could have 4tb of hdd for a 500gb ssd?
Love mp34
yes @kindred iris its good
doesnt fit tho
goes over budget
i have a hard cutoff at 620
1
bc of tax
basically
Geez
ill lay it out here
At that budget I'd just save up
[Warranty Change] TEAMGROUP M.2 PCIe SSDs which purchased on or after January 1, 2019, have a 5-Year extended warranty. this means it has a 5 year warranty after purchase right?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DhZckX Are theere any price cuts i can make anywhere?
It's near impossible for a good gaming pc new
@jagged ember thats his budget with everything except the gpu
Used market would be great benefit to you
without sacrifising preformence
i got 650 with tax
so that makes up for 596 of parts
but then i have a 25$ amazon giftcard so that becomes 621
my parents dont want me buying used
Pfft
like i said 3700x is too much for your budget build
but isnt the b450m bazooka good
Oh no
b450 boards dont support new cpus
at least i have heard that its good
yo should i get 1650 or 1660
b550 is recommended
Also, 3700x in a 650 dollar build
^
bruh
Get an actual gpu like a 1660S or something
im on budget
is this good?
then which one should i get the 3600 is stupidly inflated costs 300$ smh the 3600x costs like 240
i want a better cpu than a gpu
Why
bc i dont play many games
no way the 3600 is at 300
Then get the 3100 or 3300
It's a super solid cpu
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DhZckX Are there any price cuts I could make without sacrificing preformence? I assume the Power Supply cause I used to have a 3080 in there lol.
Trust
You dont need a 3700x
any case reccomendations for budget but still good airflow
Doesn't buy rgb strips
if you really want rgb save money on cpu and waste it on an aftermarket cooler
rbg bad
๐
wait
rbg is not bad
just get the 3 3100
its kinda old now
I'm out lol
please
PLEASE
any?
then i have a frick ton of money left
Mx300 cougar?
2700 and 3100 are pretty much the same cpu but if you can get the 3100
and have nothing to spend it on
k ty
Okay cya
Someone help me out with this pls
bruh
looks good to me
should I get a cheaper Power Supply?
are you still planning on getting a 3070?
dont cheap out on a psu
hopefully they will be back in stock by then
ok then keep psu
bad psu can destroy a system
ok
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/HFnpht can i make it cheaper without that much preformance lost?
thats already a good build to me
yay
how much frames u think it would run
on what games
what do you play?
it would run up over 100 on not very demanding games like valorant or cs
same for cod if you lower down some settings
dont actually buy that 3100 for $145
if i put low settings on cod
how much would it run
i honestly dont know
you can probably look up some benchmarks with your cpu and gpu paired together. maybe some gameplay too
yea
ill do that
ty
๐
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DhZckX this pc should be able to do well on every game right
why not?
u can get a 3100 for less
ofc its a 3070 @fading grail
amd prices are high asf rn
LMAO
building a killer pc is so cheap compared to before
not really
2080ti used to be 1200$ now same preformence is 400$
gpus are hella overpriced rn
and AMD is better for the CPUS and they are cheaper aswell
I mean compared to last year
i dont think so
is the founders 3070 good? or is there a better one for same price
dont worry about stock im not buying till April
is the msi gaming x 1650 super a good gpu?
its november
i mean its coming straight from the people that made it
idk much about brands. im still learning myself about pcs
alright
same
Aeqtra
u need to buy more fans for the phanteks case btw
u only get one with it
as an fyi
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mashupmixpro/saved
which build is the best?
@little osprey are you buying the 2060 used?
case bad airflow. overpriced ram. get 3600 cl16, dont buy windows full price, mp34 ssd
@glacial umbra yes off my cousin
yeah 200 for that is good
@little osprey iโm not gonna buy windows. i just wanted a ram with rgb lmaoo
@little osprey delta RGB is cheaper and has rgb
you can get same priced ram faster speed
but seriously rgb is overpriced ram wise
you could get an rgb cooler to try and compensate
some decent budget rgb cpu coolers
yeah get non rgb ram and rgb cooler
i have enough money to water cool the cpu. idk if i should do that ppl whwre telling me if iโm not gonna OC thereโs no point
yeah also not needed for your build tbh
unless you mean an aio
so the nzxt case is bad airflow?
even if i buy the fans on all sides
well yes aio the nzxt kraken m22
yeah
what is your budget anyways?
uhh take away 200$ for the gpu... like $600-700 in parts
parts as in not the gpu bc i already have the gpu.
yeah
i wouldโve bought the gpu new it wouldโve been 450$ on new egg so i was saved lmaoo
4000d good case
if**
damn the nzxt case that i put was my dream caee lol
And these dudes
What do you guys think about the H500 case? What about the H500M which is almost double the price?
@still ingot let's take the convo here
How do you feel about 1060 3gb mining cards?
I hear you can flash a gaming bios on them and use 'em normally
But theyre mining cards
So they're probably far gone y'know
like
its a good idea
but id have to buy it from a chinese site i think
theyre sketch, ive looked at them
Yeah after they die they probably try to resell them
if you guys are talking about a card just to get bios then maybe one of the low end nvidia cards will do
He needs a good, cheap card for rendering
budget?
Hmmmmm
Idk how tesla compute gpus will fair in rendering tbh
Tesla K40 is cheap, but its meant to be in servers
bruhh
Its for his buillddddd
you do realize that tesla K40 isn't a gpu
it's an accelarator
no video out
it would work, but u need separate gpu
with video out
and vram is decent speed, not too fast
K40 with some cheap-o display adapter?
Like a separate gpu
it doesn't have any cores
Wdym?
and k40 probably wouldn't help with a rendering task, unless ur doing funky old software... no personal softwares support accelarators any more
I guess
the 580 is a little over budget in UK ebay tho
Not too much tho I dont think
1050ti is well within his budget if its uk price
I forgot about that card
Samsung (MZ-V7E500BW) 970 EVO SSD 500GB - M.2 NVMe Interface Internal Solid State Drive with V-NAND Technology, Black/Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BN4NJ2J/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_dlC_.XbVFbHQGMNBD
Ye the 1050ti would be a good idea
about 120-150
if youre asking if its a good ssd. i would recommend sn750 or mp34
i mean if they just plan on using software then its alright
Samsung ssds are great ssds
yes but still a lot of people recommend those two
Still pretty gud
yeah
Iโm making a gaming pc build from scratch and have most of the stuff picked out except for peripherals
Any recommendations on such things
Can someone send me a link to a cheap 2070 or 2070S UK or EU link please ๐
Hey guys what pc build does Trish herschberger have ?
is there an issue in mounting a 140mm aio rad sideways?
neato thanks
yeah no 1050ti's just gonna be a waste
i have money but i dont rlly need to spend that much on just rendering
not gonna spend that much for 3x as fast rendering, kinda a waste
(compared to a 980, which is 5x as fast
actually techinically 600 percent
but thanks for the help guys
Man idk
MSI b550 tomahawk
Ultimate RTX 3090 Custom Water Cooled Gaming PC Build + Benchmarks. Today we built the ultimate water cooled gaming pc build with the msi rtx 3090 gaming trio x.

yo question peeps..So if my old pc has windows 10 on its ssd and I put the ssd in my new pc build will it have windows activated on the new pc?
for a 5800x and a 3080 its good ? btw CAD$
^^
overpriced ram tbh
for 100us $ its good no ?
What motherboard is compatible with amd, includes PCIe Gen 4 (for RTX 3080 or RX 6800XT), and white?
yea just rgb ram is always overpriced
just look for a b550 board. you can filter on pcpp
alright let me take a look
so beside this its good ?
yeah its good
you can save money on non rgb ram oh yeah psu might want to go a little higher
^
i've never built a pc from individual pieces
is there anything i need to get other than my build
Maybe
hit me
A anti static bracelet
Theyโre only like 8 bucks
you really dont need it but if youre that worried about static and messing up your parts then go for it
well this is my most expensive build yet so why not
i saw linus
๐ฟ
plug in psu and hook the static cord to the psu
i'm a layman when it comes to electricity and current
ngl
Attach it to your ankle or wrist then clip it on the psu with it plugged into the wall but off
mk
nothing compared to the ppl in this server
Ill send mine
Mine is decent
Im gonna get a hard drive 2 weeks after i start using the pc
mk
also
im not a build master or anything by far
but
my i5-10400 is better in every field compared to your 3100
and its $10 more
idk if you care to consider
mk
are you new to using pcs?
death
chip to chip 10400 beats 3100 10/10 times
but mobo pricing, and Intel non-z boards limiting max ram freq makes it iffy
side note
I dont like intel mostly cause i have to use $50-60 more on a cpu fan
10400 is 180$, 3100 is usually 115$..?
maybe you meant to say 10100?
Either way, if you think about it, a B550m vdh is as cheap as 80$, the cheapest z490 board you're gonna find is ~140$
also @stoic island do you really need to worry about static when building a pc?
You do
Im pretty sure you can kill a pc part if you pass the static onto it
Im not sure tho
intel stock fans 
Lmao
:(
@little osprey ground against psu ez
yes a lot of people also say touching the case before installing or touching a component is just as safe but idk
Thats why im getting a anti static bracelet
๐ฟ
The safest way
Also
Test your parts before you put them into the case
Yes
why the 
touch
Reason: Bad word usage
it's not good
they all have the same stock fan
how expensive is an upgrade
arent you getting a dark rock?
no
not you
dark rock?
that is a cpu cooler
mk
im talking to you about your 3080 build
When i get my stock cooler im unscrewing the fan and turning it
So the amd logo can be on top
๐ฟ
smart

@stoic island https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hJbJnL if i get one more fan for my case will i need a fan splitter?
yes
yeah 2 -3 intake is enough
How do u guys feel about this build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MgHGkX
for just gaming I'd get a 3600/3600x, whichever is cheaper
also h510 not a good case for airflow
h510 bad
also yeah thats a bad case for gaming
is there a better case at that price?
either 4000d or cougar mx330
or mx410 mesh-g
oh and the 3700x is about the same price as the r5 3600 so i was like r7 better?
h550
@woven arch also try to get a 80+ gold psu
p300a mesh
If you cant then stick with bronze
what is a good psu
yeah a lot of things are overpriced rn
yea im not gonna get the money till like next year lol
most things will change next year
Just get a 80+ bronze or 80+ gold and youll be fine
too bad i'm building my most expensive build yet oh boy
so I'd not worry about it
im just tryna educate myself rn to get a broad idea
when do u guys think prices will go down?
hmm i might wait a little then
๐ณ so christmas sale is no go?
I mean
All they did was raise prices on the parts then gave you a discount making you think youโre paying less
๐ณ truuuu
pretty much
so even after christmas what do u think is the best gaming build
Idk
for around 1000
if 1k is your limit go for 3600x or non x
that's an entirely different conversation
My budget is 800 so i wouldnt know
i can go with 800 budget
i just want something that will go 144fps+ on games like valorant and apex legends
i did say both because prices are always changing
valorant is fine with 3600 even a 3100
same
@wanton wagon i didnt even realize I misspelled that๐ณ
np
Auto correct be like
and yeah 240hz is just 144hz
yeup totally
yeup
no
:(
I played on a intel core i 3 laptop
