[wraith quiver]

OMG

[little osprey]

Shiiiii

T

[wraith quiver]

Help it’s my first build

It won’t turn on

[leaden dust]

The 2 TB SeaGate Compute Drive runs on SMR, which essentially means itll get slower and degrade once you fill it up @left glacier

[narrow rose]

did it ever turn on?

[little osprey]

Specs

[wraith quiver]

I’m literally about to cry

No

[little osprey]

Don’t

[leaden dust]

Brb

[little osprey]

It’s prolly the 24 pin is not all the way in

[left glacier]

@leaden dust k makes scense

[little osprey]

Or power cable is not in it

[narrow rose]

ok is the large power connector and the small power connector from the power supply both plugged into the motherboard 24 pin and 8 pin

[leaden dust]

Alr bacc

[little osprey]

Wow

I just wanna know specs

[wraith quiver]

It’s a AMD Ryzen 5 3400g CPU and a Tuf b450m plus motherboard

[leaden dust]

Mhm, that's why it's so not expensive too

[little osprey]

Gpu?

[wraith quiver]

I think the motherboard might not be compatible with my cpu

Do I need to buy a new one

[little osprey]

It’s compatible

Chill

[wraith quiver]

Are you sure?

Lol

[little osprey]

It’s a cable

Yes

[wraith quiver]

A lot of people told me the motherboard isn’t compatible with the cpu

[narrow rose]

the motherboard may need to be flashed to use a 3400g

[wraith quiver]

Because I need to do some stupid update thing

[narrow rose]

but we should still get some sort of sign of power

[wraith quiver]

That I can’t do because I don’t have 2 pc

yes the power supply turns on

And the light on the motherboard turns on

But when I click on for the pc nothing happens

[narrow rose]

oh well yeah you just need to flash the motherboard bios

[wraith quiver]

What’s flash motherboard bios

Like how do I do that if my@pc won’t turn on

[narrow rose]

so you need another amd cpu to do this

[little osprey]

Bios

Bring it to the source

[wraith quiver]

I don’t have one

FRICK

[little osprey]

Or like a computer store

[narrow rose]

most likely the best option will be to take it to a computer repair place many will do it for free

[little osprey]

Any computer store

[wraith quiver]

Really?

[little osprey]

Ya

[wraith quiver]

Thanks guys so much

[little osprey]

Are u getting a gpu

[wraith quiver]

Now I may cry out of relief

[narrow rose]

last couple people on here I had take it to a shop it was done for free for them. however if they do charge it shouldnt be very much dont pay more than $30

[wraith quiver]

I have a gpu

[leaden dust]

Just flash the bios

[little osprey]

What gpu

[wraith quiver]

Best Buy said it could cost 150$

So I was like heck naw

[narrow rose]

DO NOT TAKE IT BEST BUY

[little osprey]

That’s to buy a new cpu

I think

What gpu are you getting

[narrow rose]

best buy people are usually idiots

[wraith quiver]

Ok

I’ll look it@up now

[little osprey]

What gpu

[wraith quiver]

I’m checking, I already have it installed

I don’t remember what it’s called

It’s my first build and I’m 13 so I’m freakin put

Out

[little osprey]

Stop trolling

No

[narrow rose]

thats a rasberry pi4 budget 😉

[wraith quiver]

I saved for like 3 years for this

[little osprey]

U can’t build for 100

What’s the gpu

I wanna know

Cause 100 dollars is impossible

Sorry to break it to u

Ya well u need more

Good luck m8

That’s mean

[narrow rose]

https://www.amazon.ca/CanaKit-Raspberry-Starter-Kit-4GB/dp/B07WRMR2CX/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=raspberry+pi+4&qid=1606360458&s=pc&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&smid=A34IVHW5OUAV7P&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFVRVhMSFA4UlNERjQmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3ODA5OTYxWjc4VFpNR1FHOE5BJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5NDM1MTYxVzg3QUxZSkU2MTRWJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== best I can do with $100 budget and its over by $30

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey please dont laugh at people.

[little osprey]

Yeah

No

[narrow rose]

thats not really mean it would be a fun project

[wraith quiver]

MSI Radeon RX 5700 DirectX 12 RX 5700 MECH GP OC 8GB 256-

That’s my GPU

[little osprey]

If you find some used pc

[narrow rose]

you could also check the used market

[little osprey]

That’s a good gpu holy

You'd be better off remy

Work for like 200 more

[wraith quiver]

Yeah

I’ve been saving up for a long time

Like 3 years

[little osprey]

Wow

The cpu could be better

But it’s fine

[wraith quiver]

So I would appreciate any help

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey If you believe the following or not, is up to you. But we cannot bend reality for you. There is no way to build a pc from new parts. With that budget.

[wraith quiver]

Yes that’s what I’m upgrading next

[little osprey]

Are you in the USA

[wraith quiver]

Yessir

[little osprey]

Do u have a micro centre near u

[wraith quiver]

@little osprey either you are underage and need to be banned for a troll and need to be banned, so either way ban him.

Let me check @little osprey

[little osprey]

Stop

[wraith quiver]

troll

I’m 13 and I’m not this dumb

So he must be underage

Or trolling

Simple just ban him

[foggy hazel]

@wraith quiver please just focus on your own problem :)

[wraith quiver]

I’m trying to get actual help here due

[leaden dust]

Do u mean ordering from your phone ?

Guys please stop

[wraith quiver]

No take parts from his phone, what a idiot

[leaden dust]

He might not be a native english speaker

[little osprey]

@wraith quiver cut it out

[wraith quiver]

No he is

[little osprey]

Stop

[leaden dust]

Yeah he is a troll

[foggy hazel]

@wraith quiver stop insulting other users.

[narrow rose]

lets not call anyone an idiot unless its a best buy geek squad member

[wraith quiver]

He is trolling!

[little osprey]

If he is leave it alone. Doesn't give you the right to call him names

[foggy hazel]

@wraith quiver and it does not matter if he is or not. Stop insulting other users please.

[leaden dust]

Your disrupting the flow of the chat

[little osprey]

We are not bullying you we are telling you taht 100 bucks is not possible

[wraith quiver]

Sorry sheesh

@little osprey yes there is micro center near me, why and what is that

[vital warren]

don't think so remy

[little osprey]

It's a computer store

[wraith quiver]

They will help me for free,

?

[little osprey]

Bring it there micro centre is the best for pc stuff

[wraith quiver]

Will they charge me over 20$?

[little osprey]

Maybe

Probably not

[narrow rose]

they can for sure help flash bios I would just tell them $20 is all you have and see what they do

[wraith quiver]

Oh ok

Let’s go

Thanks guys

I’m really having hope now

😭

[whole harbor]

@narrow rose $1000 pc

[leaden dust]

Want advice on parts ?

What's the question

[narrow rose]

@wraith quiver tell them you got the 3400g and that motherboard and all you need is to flash bios to the latest version so it supports the cpu

[whole harbor]

indont need advicr

[leaden dust]

Ok

[little osprey]

It’s not a big problem

[wraith quiver]

@little osprey you need at least 400$ to build a pc, and even then it will be trash, and only can be used for roblox, and that is prolly all you play at your age

Nothing still

[leaden dust]

A slap

[vital warren]

mmateo, chill lol

toxic for no reason

[wraith quiver]

Save up buddy, like me. I saved up for 3 years. Have some patience.

[foggy hazel]

@leaden dust no need to act like that.

[wraith quiver]

I’m just trying to help

Stop minimodding

[leaden dust]

ok

[vital warren]

i'm not mini modding

[wraith quiver]

He is probably trolling

[leaden dust]

He is

[vital warren]

if i was mini modding i'd be tagging mods

[wraith quiver]

And if not he is underage

[foggy hazel]

does not matter if he is.

[vital warren]

be a little mature and don't immediately resort to being toxic

[left glacier]

could get u a motherboard if ya getting each piece overtime 😄

[whole harbor]

minimun psu for 3070?

[wraith quiver]

I’m 13, sorry my maturity levels aren’t up to your standards

[vital warren]

my standards are common decency

have a little of that

[wraith quiver]

Plus the 100 your mom gave you, and maybe you’ll have a roblox worthy pc

[vital warren]

now lets move on

[narrow rose]

@little osprey $300 is a good start and while still in the used market at that price there is nothing wrong with that

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey for general rule of thumb. IF you have all the peripherals, you could start with a 300 usd budget for the rest.

[whole harbor]

@foggy hazel minimun psu for 3070?

[vital warren]

remy it is probably just best to save over time from birthdays/christmas and maybe oddjobs like yard work for others around the neighborhood

that worked for me

[leaden dust]

I'd go 850w to Be safe

[foggy hazel]

@whole harbor 650w according to recommendations

[whole harbor]

ill go 750w?

[leaden dust]

Seems fine to me

[foggy hazel]

you can just go with something that is not a budget model and 650w is plenty @whole harbor

[whole harbor]

Nvm found a good 8502

[left glacier]

any suggesting's an a case? or fans?

[whole harbor]

cosair

[vital warren]

you don't need 850w for a 3070

[leaden dust]

Budget ?

[left glacier]

ye

[whole harbor]

Is corsair rm good?

youll be good

[vital warren]

rm is pretty good

[leaden dust]

P300a mesh, lancool 2 mesh, meshify c

[whole harbor]

Yeah

[leaden dust]

These are the cases

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey come back at the time you have the money :)

[wraith quiver]

in your dreams

[vital warren]

fortnite is easy to run

shouldn't take too much money

[wraith quiver]

He is trolling my gif

Selling your dresser

He is a clown

[vital warren]

mateo trolling or not we still like to give help

so please

just chill

[wraith quiver]

@lime forge can you please ban this troll

No it’s 100%

He is definitely trolling

No doubt about it

[foggy hazel]

@wraith quiver please stop calling other users names!

[vital warren]

zach if you're banning anyone ban mateo, toxicity that is not needed

[wraith quiver]

He is trolling

[lime forge]

whats going on

[vital warren]

you're on track to being banned anyway mateo

[wraith quiver]

It’s crazy how you don’t see that

This guy is trolling

[vital warren]

scroll up a bit zach

[wraith quiver]

He is asking about selling his dresser and building a 100$ pc

[leaden dust]

You know the problem is that even if he isnt, he is being disruptive to the chat and asking dum questions.

[foggy hazel]

@lime forge please read a bit upwards, its a mess of "he said, she said" etc

[wraith quiver]

he is trolling and apparently I’m being toxic

[lime forge]

how about we all take a chill pill?

[left glacier]

@leaden dust thx u

[leaden dust]

^

[leaden dust]

np anythim

[wraith quiver]

He is asking about selling his dresser and building a 100$ pc @lime forge all you need to know.

so basically he is underage or he is trolling

[vital warren]

trolling or not we still offer advice here

[lime forge]

yeah, we are all super rich

like crazy rich

9/10 people here have at least 3 mansions

[leaden dust]

Lets just all shut

[lime forge]

i would say this but thats not professional 😩

[narrow rose]

6. Just be cool, we are all here to have fun and share our love for games and hardware. Don't be a jerk, jerks suck.

[leaden dust]

ik, but this is getting out of out. We dont want a warzone here

[foggy hazel]

yes yes zach, we know you hang out in #general-chat a lot, does not mean you have to bring the humour from there to here :P

[lime forge]

wat

[cloud oasis]

@little osprey theres many videos on how to build one, such as a livestream of someone building

i dont think anyone here wants to write a step by step guide on how to build one

[leaden dust]

Yes

it is

[cloud oasis]

yes its enough

[lime forge]

if you buy used parts yes

[wraith quiver]

https://youtu.be/DGTeRoPlYGA @little osprey

[cloud oasis]

theres 500$ build lists

[wraith quiver]

TROLL

[lime forge]

ok bye

[wraith quiver]

TROLL

[cloud oasis]

[wraith quiver]

See guys

I told you

[lime forge]

hes banned

[foggy hazel]

and?

[lime forge]

lets move on now

[wraith quiver]

Thanks

[narrow rose]

I'm telling you that rasberry pi4 4gb would be sweet and it could play fortnite although not at 100fps... it could play it though

[wraith quiver]

annoying mod thx

[leaden dust]

You can get a 1650/1660S ( itll get cheaper ) and a zen 2 AMD processor with a corsair CX psu and a p300a mesh case

[wraith quiver]

@little osprey there are actually no micro centers in my state I was wrong

What should I do

😔

[lime forge]

did you just call me annoying 😐

[narrow rose]

local shop

[little osprey]

Any pc store

[wraith quiver]

You don’t remember our conversation?

About how the mods here were so annoying?

We agreed that @lime forge was the most annoying.

[lime forge]

oh that was you

[narrow rose]

not best buy or a store a repair place

[wraith quiver]

Yes that was me

😂😂

[fair condor]

anyone a bit knowledgable on laptops?

[lime forge]

see everything i hear in this server goes in one ear out the other

soo

[leaden dust]

Me

I'll help

[fair condor]

okay ill dm u

[leaden dust]

sure

[wraith quiver]

What’s a store a repair place

[sinful hornet]

what the hell happened here

[wraith quiver]

A troll

[little osprey]

Search pc repair places near me

[wraith quiver]

Happened

[left glacier]

@leaden dust https://secure.newegg.ca/wishlist/sd/XE1OQN7gyQRgBAePYVqxuw== would this work?

[wraith quiver]

And I just pick a random one? @little osprey

[little osprey]

One that is trusted

[little osprey]

If you some how got extra money go for a r5 3600 but other then taht it’s good

[left glacier]

@little osprey good to knpw thx ^^

[little osprey]

Np

[leaden dust]

Why is the Ryzen so exlensive

Opposed to part picker

[little osprey]

But ask some other people

[narrow rose]

@wraith quiver I would call all of them until I found one that would do it for free or very cheaply 😉

[little osprey]

Cause I’m not the best

[wraith quiver]

Wdym by one that is trusted

Oh ok @narrow rose b

Thanks

[drifting garnet]

Hello.

[left glacier]

@leaden dust tbh thats the best i could find : D

[little osprey]

Ask some other people cause I’m not the best

[wraith quiver]

I’ll probably ask my dad to help since I’m 13 and stuffy

[leaden dust]

Oof

[left glacier]

@little osprey k

[wraith quiver]

Thanks for all the help guys

I really appreciate it

[little osprey]

Np

What store are u gunna go to

[narrow rose]

@wraith quiver yeah your dad can help just make sure he knows what to ask for a bios flash to make the motherboard compatible with the cpu any good repair place will know exactly what he's talking about

[leaden dust]

Anyways, who recommended a Tuf A15 to a member here

Lmfao

[wraith quiver]

Ok thanks

This is the build I did it just doesn’t turn on I think because of the bios

[little osprey]

What place are u going to

[wraith quiver]

Do you think too

I’m not sure I’ll call tmrw

[narrow rose]

I dont recommend laptops period waste of money that should only be done when one absolutely needs it to be portable

[leaden dust]

Wrong.

[wraith quiver]

Not wrong

[leaden dust]

Absolutely not

[wraith quiver]

I disagree

I agree with him

[leaden dust]

Wrong

[wraith quiver]

I agree with @narrow rose

I disagree with @leaden dust

[leaden dust]

You do realise that some people dont have the luxury of being at home all day long right ?

[little osprey]

What ram is that

[left glacier]

did anyone know that newegg shipped my item quicker then amazon : o

[leaden dust]

And laptops were meant to be portable

[wraith quiver]

Why

[leaden dust]

You dknt need to rec a PC

Everytime

That's like so weird

[wraith quiver]

2x 8gig ddr4 ram

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust my statement said unless you absolutely need it to be portable

[little osprey]

And legion 5 is a deal

[wraith quiver]

3400 mhz or something

Or 3000

[leaden dust]

yes ik, but even if you dont, a PC isnt always THE best option.

Everyone has to travel

[little osprey]

Cause is that snag nice lpx

[wraith quiver]

If you are gonna travel jsut bring your stupid pc

[leaden dust]

How

[little osprey]

That’s hard to do

[wraith quiver]

He is saying that pc’s are better quality

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust for the money price to performance a pc is always better unless it has to be portable

[leaden dust]

Is there a Bag ?

[wraith quiver]

Put it in your trunk??

[leaden dust]

Uh

What ?

[little osprey]

@narrow rose the legion 5 is 1.3k cad

[wraith quiver]

He means it runs better it’s better quality

Better price

[leaden dust]

:/

[little osprey]

Desktops break easier

[wraith quiver]

Not more convinient

[narrow rose]

desktops do not break easier....

[wraith quiver]

Don’t act like a toddler and be careful basically

Laptops break easier actually

[leaden dust]

That's actually so stupid.

[wraith quiver]

My brother broke 2

By dropping the stupid laptops

[leaden dust]

Which did he have

[little osprey]

Ya also I need a laptop cause I have ass internet 75gb at 5mbps

[wraith quiver]

Laptops break easier

[leaden dust]

I have an 11 year old Compaq heading into its 12th year

[blazing karma]

lol the reply feature sucks

[leaden dust]

Which feel many times

[little osprey]

So I need laptops for homeowrk

[leaden dust]

And still works

[wraith quiver]

Ok

My dad said he has a friend who builds pc’s for professionals gamers or something LOL

[narrow rose]

I mean I also have a laptop that I paid way to much for to travel with but I wouldnt recommend it as someones sole PC unless they had to because they travel a lot or something like that

[leaden dust]

Laptops are PCs are directed towards different comsumers

[wraith quiver]

and he will ask to see if he can fix it?

BRUh

[leaden dust]

Which laptop

[little osprey]

@wraith quiver the reason I’m getting a laptop is for light gaming and homework so I have to go to a library

[little osprey]

Bet

[wraith quiver]

Why not homework for home

At home

[little osprey]

Cause my internet

[fair condor]

ah f

[drifting garnet]

Personally, I would get a laptop cause I wouldn't bring around a whole ass desktop.

For traveling.

[little osprey]

And u need to download my games at my friends

[leaden dust]

Same. PCs are practical only when at home

[little osprey]

Facts

[leaden dust]

They are both directed at different consumers

[little osprey]

Sure

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, I have a laptop rn and I am getting a desktop for at home and games now.

[wraith quiver]

But as a 13 yo boy I am at home basically 24/7

[leaden dust]

Ye

[leaden dust]

So that's you

[wraith quiver]

With virtual school and all

yeah

[drifting garnet]

24/8

[wraith quiver]

So that’s me

[little osprey]

I’m 13 but I have school a lot

[leaden dust]

Yes

[drifting garnet]

I saw that

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust razer blade 15

[wraith quiver]

Ok cool

typo

[leaden dust]

Oof

Yeah

[drifting garnet]

Ik

[leaden dust]

That suxks

[wraith quiver]

25/8

[leaden dust]

Razer laptops suck

[narrow rose]

its getting old too

[leaden dust]

Why da hell did you get razer

[narrow rose]

and it cost a fortune

[little osprey]

I love the astetic of the razer blade 15 sorry for typo

[leaden dust]

See now that's the problem, people dont know stuff here about laptops, so your concept is right, not your info yho

[narrow rose]

I like the laptops feel and look its really light and has a great screen

[leaden dust]

Razer sucks

It's like worse than apple

[little osprey]

Apples m1 chips are good

[drifting garnet]

What's so bad about them? More companies need to make light gaming lapotps.

[fair condor]

@leaden dust those pcs that u sent

wait nvm

lmao mybad

[leaden dust]

LIGHT Gaming ? Well, they cap the TDP to avoid thermal throttling, their QC suxks too

[little osprey]

What’s qc

[narrow rose]

well the bad part in my opinion is that it cost $3500 and it doesnt have a 3090 in but thats just me lol

[leaden dust]

tongfang makes light gaming laptops

[leaden dust]

Quality Control

[little osprey]

Oh

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, I heard about Razer stuff breaking.

[narrow rose]

mine has held up well as far as not breaking

[leaden dust]

Yep, and here is a link

https://www.eluktronics.com/MAG-15

[drifting garnet]

I feel like their laptops are overpriced too.

[leaden dust]

^^^ this is a tongfang

Weighs 1.85kg

Has a 115w GTX 1660Ti

^^^ what tongfang is

[drifting garnet]

Overpriced, never heard of the brand either.

But looks cool.

[leaden dust]

Check what tongfang is. That's not overpriced

[narrow rose]

did it exist in september of 2019 when I bought the razor?

[leaden dust]

Yep

[little osprey]

What’s the specs

[drifting garnet]

I think it is a tad overpriced IMO. Not to bad, especially not as bad as apple prices for computers.

[narrow rose]

think its a 1650maxQ 16gb ram i7 10th gen

[leaden dust]

Ok tell me another example of a laptop like this

Cuz

[little osprey]

Not bad

[leaden dust]

The 1660Ti at this price is the bet you can get

115w one too

[leaden dust]

Hows it overpriced btw

[little osprey]

Apple is overpriced

[leaden dust]

Razer too

Alienware too

[little osprey]

Ya

But r3 m15 is good on sale

[leaden dust]

Lmao

G14 suxks

Wanna see the issues ?

[narrow rose]

I fully admit I got the razor mostly because of looks... Im a desktop guy and everything was just so expensive in the laptop world

[drifting garnet]

Sure

[leaden dust]

Welp, some lappys arent

[leaden dust]

Asus G14 issues so far (updated 6/11/2020):

1. Bad screen response time, >20ms gray-to-gray average
2. Ergohinge design that blows hot air onto the LCD, longevity of the screen will possibly be affected
3. Buggy Asus software: Armoury Crate
4. 2060 with 65w TDP performs worse than 1660Ti in most cases
5. Plugging in a PD-enabled monitor, dock or charger to the 65w USB-C port while having the 180W adapter plugged in simultaneously will kill the laptop because the laptop will receive over 200w of power, and will die
6. Keycap font smears off
7. Invisible keycaps on the Silver G14
8. 1 slot of RAM soldered, meaning you have to stay at or under 16gb for dual channel memory mode
9. Very loud fan noise under load and in addition is always on
10. 4900HS performs worse than 4800H
11. Extremely hot thermals require disabling turboboost to tame

Oh, and its ASUS

[drifting garnet]

Ok, I was wrong.

[left glacier]

oof

[narrow rose]

isnt the 2060 of the Q design technically and therefore should perform although not as well as a real 2060 better than a 1660ti? I could be wrong but I thought I saw something about this.

[little osprey]

Jeez

[narrow rose]

I dont hate asus but yeah it is asus lol

[little osprey]

Lol

Gn

[narrow rose]

of course if you wait long enough you will hate all of them lol

[little osprey]

I have school and it’s 11pm

[narrow rose]

later

[little osprey]

Gn

[leaden dust]

Stay Away from MaxQ, they have worse perf than normal graphic chispets

[thorny bronze]

Can anyone help me for a second?

[narrow rose]

sure

[thorny bronze]

Need help putting together a $1100 pc build

I am terrible at cheaper pc builds

[little osprey]

Ez

3070

Anyways Gn

[drifting garnet]

Is this one any good. I watched a review of Nitro 5 and they said it was good.

[narrow rose]

start with the mother board seat the ram seat the cpu and install the air cooler if its an air cooler if its an aio skip this step and move straight to the case set it on its side so you can lower in the mother board make sure the correct standoffs for the motherboard are installed

[leaden dust]

Yeh

But change 2060

Not worth it

Get the AMD one too

[little osprey]

This is pog stock for r5 5600 in Canada

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, i prefer AMD but is the 2060 just not that much better or?

[narrow rose]

in a desktop it sure would be

[leaden dust]

Definitely not

The 2060 is a 1660Ti with raytracing

[little osprey]

Why isn’t 2060 good

Gn

[leaden dust]

Raytracing is a joke on it

DLSS is meh

[narrow rose]

perhaps in a laptop the 2060 is about 20% better performance than a 1660ti in a desktop situation

[little osprey]

That’s a lot

[narrow rose]

but mind I am talking desktop performance I dont know about laptops

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, I heard the 2060 was better. For desktops at least not sure about laptops

[little osprey]

Oh well

Gn

[narrow rose]

and a 2060Super is even better

[leaden dust]

Nope

[little osprey]

Good night

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust you can show me evidence of how this is not true but otherwise I disagree

[leaden dust]

The 1660Ti is the laptop pushes out just 4 less fps on average than the 2060

[leaden dust]

Come to d2d

I'll send inv

[little osprey]

Good night

[narrow rose]

I did say I was speaking only desktop if it is only laptop numbers I wont dispute it

[leaden dust]

idk about desktop, since then that means that the desktop 1660Ti is worse

And that's not possibel

Laptop 1660Ti is basically a 2060

[drifting garnet]

Ok good to know.

[leaden dust]

Mhm

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/3445-evga-gtx-1660-ti-xc-review-benchmark

that is for the 1660ti xc and he uses a 2060 in all of the benchmarks

and gamers nexus runs good tests

[leaden dust]

Yes ik

But

This idk then

[dim holly]

My 5800X I ordered from Newegg on the 19th was delivered today, but when I opened the package the AMD box had been ripped open and the cpu insert was taken, probably the UPS driver. I was delivered a ripped empty Ryzen7 box. On the shipping label under description Newegg typed out exactly what was inside the box, why would they do that? This happened hours ago, but I'm still pissed. Have to wait for their claims department but since it's a holiday it's going to take longer. Now I can't build my system like I had planned this week.

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust but in a laptop they are missing voltage so as I said you could be right in a laptop situation

[drifting garnet]

This is the gud gaming laptop.

[leaden dust]

Wait.. does that mean the laptop and desktop 1660Ti is worse than a Laptop 2060 ?

Cuz 1660Ti in lappy is still 2060

So..

Yeah I'm confused

[narrow rose]

@dim holly thats terrible I hope UPS/Newegg gets that rectified swiftly for you

[desert elbow]

Ur

Ye

[narrow rose]

@leaden dust it could be true if it needs the voltage to perform and its way undervolted

[leaden dust]

Hm

[narrow rose]

I wont pretend to be a laptop expert

[drifting garnet]

Typical UPS things

[dim holly]

Especially this time of year when they bring on a bunch of seasonal workers who don't give af.

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, I hope you get this all sorted out.

[dim holly]

If it comes to it, I'll lawyer up. Hope it doesn't come to that.

[leaden dust]

No no, I'm just really confused..

I'll have to dig more

Wait

Brb

[narrow rose]

@dim holly it wont they will replace it

[dim holly]

They couldn't, out of stock. Said I have to wait for the investigation for them to issue a refund.

[pliant ocean]

so maybe a strange question. I read on some support page that newegg will not ship to a po box when it is payed for by paypal, is this true? it seems to have accepted the adress, but i don't want to order something i have to argue with support to get it to me

[narrow rose]

well that's unfortunate I would complain about that too once the investigation is done and try to get more

@pliant ocean why not just not use paypal 😉

[pliant ocean]

i am

[foggy hazel]

ask support before you order @pliant ocean

[dark marsh]

Hey guys, I’m pretty new to this PC gaming thing. I was wondering what’s a good PC build around the price range $1300? LMK Thank you!

[drifting garnet]

Lemme make a list. Do you stream, video edit or just game?

[dark marsh]

@drifting garnet well I do some coding here and there but mostly gaming right now

[drifting garnet]

Ok.

[ruby ledge]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DX8V4d
Thoughts?
I'm upgrading from my 1050 ti, i5 3470, 8gb ram,
I'm going to be upgrading the gpu, cpu, ram, mobo, and storage.
My budget for those 5 items is $600.

[drifting garnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QJKjGq
Here is a good list. If you need more storage, you can upgrade in the future or get 256gb ssd instead and get a 2tb hdd. You can also change the cpu and gpu if you need to build it soon and can't find any available]. Just lmk

[little osprey]

@ruby ledge that is super similar to the build i am planning to upgrade to lol. i got this ram instead though: https://www.amazon.com/XPG-3200MHz-288-Pin-CL16-20-20-AX4U320038G16A-DSZ1/dp/B084Q4N364/

[ruby ledge]

hmm

[dark marsh]

@drifting garnet Thanks a lot!

[ruby ledge]

I'm just getting Corsair vengeance because it's a well known ram brand

[drifting garnet]

Not bad but I heard the Team MP34 SSD is better. I would get that instead but the rest looks good.

[drifting garnet]

Yw

[narrow rose]

isnt there some 3600 cl16 ram for the same price or less

like from @drifting garnet s list

[drifting garnet]

I don't think lemme double check

[little osprey]

i got that ram because supposedly it is good for overclocking. (i guess i will find out)

[narrow rose]

no not your list @drifting garnet for @ruby ledge he should get the ram in your list

[drifting garnet]

No, the ones for cheaper or same are cl18.

[drifting garnet]

Oh ok

Sorry bout that.

[narrow rose]

no problem lol

[ruby ledge]

Would https://pcpartpicker.com/product/z3VD4D/team-t-force-vulcan-z-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-tlzgd416g3200hc16cdc01 be fine?

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, same ram I am getting for my first build here soon.

[narrow rose]

why not this https://pcpartpicker.com/product/4JBhP6/crucial-ballistix-rgb-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-bl2k8g36c16u4bl

[ruby ledge]

I mean its ram right

[drifting garnet]

For the price the T-Force is good tho.

[ruby ledge]

I might aswell go for the cheaper option

[drifting garnet]

But the Crucial is good as well.

[ruby ledge]

they're both the same speeds, and same size

[narrow rose]

that is cheaper at least for the tforce

[ruby ledge]

but one is cheaper

[narrow rose]

the list was $70 for 3200 cl6

[rare sundial]

can any help me to built a intel based 75k in indian rupees

[narrow rose]

but $54.99 for 3200 cl16 is a much better price

[drifting garnet]

Yes

[rare sundial]

ok

[ruby ledge]

75k rupees is roughly $1k usd

[rare sundial]

yes

[drifting garnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rzBK7X

I went 5600xt over 2060 because better value and better performing.

[rare sundial]

ok

[ornate solstice]

Anyone know of a good case for $55 to at comes with 3 fans

[drifting garnet]

Cooler Master MB320L or MB311L

Make sure mobo is matx tho. It is a good case for the price.

[stoic island]

@ornate solstice mx330-g air

55$ 3 fans

Mb311l only comes with 2 fans afaik

[ornate solstice]

Yeah I like it but like I want to see if there were other options

[drifting garnet]

Oh shoot my bad.

[violet harness]

@stoic island I built an ikea chair without using the manual

[stoic island]

How dare you

Jk

[drifting garnet]

Listen to him. I forgot it was 2 not 3.

[little osprey]

Mx 330g one of the best value cases

[violet harness]

Lulw

[ornate solstice]

Ig I’ll get that one

[violet harness]

Nice

[tepid shoal]

Optane or nvme as boot drive?

I have the Sabrent rocket 1tb m.2 2280 nvme ssd and i am building a 4K gaming rig in December. I would like to know if it makes sense getting an optane as the boot drive and using my nvme for gaming storage. Or what is better?

[viral ore]

doesnt matter

just stick with the sabrent drive for os and programs

and a few games

[tepid shoal]

Will it be possible to overheat with os and games on 4k?

[viral ore]

not how that works

so no

[stoic island]

Unless your room is 90c, no, it's not going to

[drifting garnet]

Like if your house burning or something. .

[tepid shoal]

I mean, i have a sauna in that room, but it will not reach 90°C

[stoic island]

It was a joke :p

[drifting garnet]

The sauna may catch fire.

[tepid shoal]

Thats fine, i am just gonna sweat it out i guess

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, you may experience some thermal throttling on the PC tho.

Just to keep in mind.

[tepid shoal]

So here is what i was thinking of doing
Ryzen 9 5900X
RX 6800XT or RX6900XT
Some Nice Ram (No idea which one yet)(Ballistix?)
With an optane boot drive
The Sabrent Rocket 1TB for gaming drive
Motherboard (No idea which one yet)
Case (No idea which one yet), Full tower maybe?
850 PSU

Any Ideas or suggestions?

[drifting garnet]

That sounds pretty good. Just make sure the sauna will not cause any thermal throttling

Lol

[open peak]

Would a 1660ti + ryzen 5 2600 handle ultrawide 3440x1440 gaming

[tepid shoal]

It wont...i hope
Any ideas for the missing parts?
Not sure what motherboard to go with
X570 chipset but any more specific ideas and whats a decent fulltower case?
The MOre RGB the Better the performance i have heard the professionals say....jk

[drifting garnet]

No, you will have to up your budget a significant amount for that.

[drifting garnet]

Do u have a budget for those missing parts?

[tepid shoal]

I am planning 2500 to 3000

[drifting garnet]

Ok

[idle hawk]

@foggy hazel I need your wisdom

Or @narrow rose I need your wisdom

[drifting garnet]

Not sure what the parts your currently have picked costs, but I think this would be a good motherboard if it adds up to within your budget.

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vFhmP6/asus-rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-wi-fi-atx-am4-motherboard-rog-strix-b550-f-gaming-wi-fi

[idle hawk]

I need some help with custom water cooling

[viral ore]

dont bother, its a lot of work for little gain

[idle hawk]

No I understand that

I bought this way

[viral ore]

if you want the clean look of liquid cooling go for an aio

[idle hawk]

I just need an alternative for this pump that failed

I'm not sure what I'm looking at

[viral ore]

oh

[stoic island]

Aio pump or

[idle hawk]

I needed a 2nd or third brain to look at it

[stoic island]

@idle hawk what loop do you have

[idle hawk]

Its not for me

[stoic island]

So a pump res

[idle hawk]

Yep

[stoic island]

Just get another pump res

[drifting garnet]

If u need something cheaper this is a good option https://pcpartpicker.com/product/FMxbt6/gigabyte-b550-aorus-pro-ac-atx-am4-motherboard-b550-aorus-pro-ac

[stoic island]

Ek should have some, as a simple place to look

[idle hawk]

Lol I'm not sure of the tube sizing

[stoic island]

Ask em

[idle hawk]

Idk if this is 3/8 or 1/2

[viral ore]

measure it

with a ruler

[drifting garnet]

Also do you stream or video edit?

[stoic island]

It's not something you can just glance and tell

[idle hawk]

Wish I had one running around tbh

[tepid shoal]

@drifting garnet it looks good so far still checking it out. I am okay with spending a little more on a quality motherboard now, since i wanna build my first real gaming rig. I have had value builds so far

[drifting garnet]

That asus board would probably be good then.

[stoic island]

B550 aorus elite ax imo

[tepid shoal]

@drifting garnet I thought about streaming... but since my KDR is only 1.43 i am not sure if it even would make sense 😄

[drifting garnet]

Oh ok lemme find you some good ram.

[tepid shoal]

@drifting garnet Awesome Thanks. I am thinking 32 gb with minimum 3600 mhz

[drifting garnet]

Ok if you want to possibly stream, 32gb would be nice lemme see what good ram kits I can find.

[tepid shoal]

@drifting garnet and for the monitor i was thinking the eve Spectrum https://euro.evedevices.com//pages/spectrum/#redir

[drifting garnet]

Don't know a lot about monitors too much, just check reviews and see what people say.

Nevermind

That is cl18

Not good

One sec do u want rgb?

[tepid shoal]

@drifting garnet The reason i wanna go with AMD for GPU in connection with the Ryzen 9 5900 is to be able to use the SAM concept they are starting this generation and because its 500$ cheaper than Rtx 3090

[open peak]

@drifting garnet Sorry just back to the 1660ti + ultrawide question, I'm not going to be gaming with it a whole heap, and when I do it'll probably only be smaller games like rocket league etc

[tepid shoal]

I mean. for the Ram i dont care

[stoic island]

Tbh the eve monitors still seem too good for the price so I'd still wait for reviews for them

[drifting garnet]

Well if you aren't gaming, I dont see why not.

[drifting garnet]

So no preference for rgb or not?

[tepid shoal]

No, not really

If it is a 10$ difference, fine, but i will focus my rgb for the sauna...

[drifting garnet]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zcH8TW/gskill-ripjaws-v-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gvkc

Lemme see what rgb ram there is and how much more.

WAIT

[tepid shoal]

Cl18

Saw that

[drifting garnet]

Yeah mee too

I keep seeing it in the URL

One sec

[tepid shoal]

I heard that the new ryzen benefit from higher clock on ram, should i go with something higher?

[drifting garnet]

Yeah rgb is quite a bit more for cl16 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/jxH8TW/gskill-trident-z-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr4-3600-memory-f4-3600c16d-32gtzrc.

[stoic island]

I'd get the Crucial kit if possible

[drifting garnet]

3600 probably.

[stoic island]

@tepid shoal it's all diminishing returns above 3600mhz

[drifting garnet]

The 16gb kit?

[tepid shoal]

So the best value is 3600?

[stoic island]

@drifting garnet Crucial ballistix 2x16gb

Micron rev e die is pretty nice for OCing if they ever OC

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, great deal right now.

I can't type ob this damn phone

[stoic island]

Is ok

I'm on mobile too

[drifting garnet]

Yeah, I'm supposed go be sleeping so I can't get on my xomputer

[stoic island]

Same

[drifting garnet]

Spelling corrext ruins things more sometimes

[tepid shoal]

I can only find 3200mhz on Newegg

[drifting garnet]

For what

What ram

[tepid shoal]

Ballistix

But i do like the Tridents

[drifting garnet]

Trident Ram looks pretty cool.

[stoic island]

Ah the 2x16gb is out of stock on Newegg for now

[drifting garnet]

Everyone probably bought it cause of the good deal.

Oh well.

[stoic island]

Maybe

Might be in stock elsewhere

[drifting garnet]

Yeah

[stoic island]

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1548846-REG/crucial_bl2k16g36c16u4b_ballistix_32gb_16x2_3600_mhz.html

[tepid shoal]

The tridntz have the same specs and rgb

I guess i am gonna go with those for now

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yXxbt6/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6800-xt-16-gb-video-card-gv-r68xt-16gc-b

[drifting garnet]

Ok 👍

[stoic island]

Fair

[tepid shoal]

since i need RGB fusion from gigabyte for the tridents i might aswell go with the gigabyte card?

[stoic island]

Lmao I read that as 5700xt 16gb video card and I was about to flip some things

@tepid shoal no need

[little osprey]

could someone look at this pc build, it would be my first time building one and i have a budget around $1000, am looking for any suggestions on my parts https://newegg.io/7c07043

wat wip mean

[stoic island]

Work in progress

[whole harbor]

One sec

[stoic island]

It's in a weird spot, I don't particularly like the spec and prices atm

[whole harbor]

$100 added to that

and it would be pretty good

[stoic island]

But it gets you a 3070 and a decent cpu so

Can't really complain about the price to perf at ~1000$

[whole harbor]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pcrK7X

@stoic island

[drifting garnet]

Ok I should go now, its getting late.

[stoic island]

[ornate solstice]

Yes but like which one are they

The normal vortex or the vortex spb or fcb

Cause I want 2 exaust and 2 intake so I want to be able to buy 1 more of the same fan

[inner mortar]

[ornate solstice]

Yes but I want to buy one more so I can have 2 exaust

Or 3 intake

You see what I’m getting at

[inner mortar]

sorry im not much help but im pretty sure its that one

[fallen pendant]

Could someone have a look at my build for me? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PhcrGq

Can someone rate my build? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PFYkDc

should I add a cpu cooler? or the stock amd cooler is fine?

[ornate solstice]

The 5700xt says it recommends a 750w psu will I be good with a 650w or should I upgrade?

[fallow flame]

RoyM - the usual stock cooler that comes with AMD is great, I am using it on my build and I have had no thermal issues at all

[little osprey]

lolll

i like how price of my build went up 100$ on black friday

looks like im switchin my power supply

mesh case went up 5 bucks so ima order as price drops, black friday is a scam

[tawny iron]

thats good to hear, what cpu are you using?

[fallow flame]

currently using the Ryzen 5-3600, nice little chip, but I want to upgrade to the Ryzen 9 5950x (when I can afford it lol)

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/sharki9876/saved/srKzf7
hi, this is my final build before I order (probably tomorrow)

[scarlet badge]

looks good other then the psu

why the hell is it $240

@little osprey

[little osprey]

yeah where i'm buying it it's not that expensive. disregard the prices bc i'm not even in america

[scarlet badge]

ah

then it looks pretty good

[little osprey]

thanks.

[scarlet badge]

i would go for an air cooler but if you like how an aio looks then go for it

[little osprey]

lmfao idk why my psu is 150 bucks but im going to switch

thoughts on which is better psu on deal

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yw7cxc

[scarlet badge]

@tawny iron why a $900 2070

[little osprey]

yeah. i guess it comes down to personal preference. Also i'm worried that a big air cooler will obstruct my ram so im going with a top mounted rad

[scarlet badge]

and go 3600 not 3500x

[little osprey]

im doing 3700x

[scarlet badge]

how much is it

[little osprey]

i want my cpu be the last thing i think abt

[scarlet badge]

ok

[little osprey]

has anyone been scammed on newegg buys?

like buying from newegg, r u protected by newegg?

[scarlet badge]

the 3700x is $280 @tawny iron

[little osprey]

my 3700x costs 280

and they act like 297 is a deal xd

[fallen escarp]

what NVME ssd is as fast or faster than the samsung 970 evo and cheaper (1 tb ploz)

[fallen escarp]

fanks

[lethal drift]

any thoughts on whether I'd benefit more from a x570 over a b550 board? Would I be bottlenecked on a b550? planning to run a pcie3.0x16 raid controller (for plex), nvme m.2 3.0, and have the mobo run a separate raid array for pc only storage.. with a 6k series gpu hopefully

[dense basalt]

should i get a rx 5500 xt 8gb or a gtx 1660

i think i should get the rx bc its cheaper and kinda the same

[foggy hazel]

@lethal drift not a problem on b550

[little osprey]

what is a good white mobo for amd 5000 series cpu?

[ebon wing]

gigabyte b550 vision board

[hoary lichen]

Exactly what i have

Lmao

[lethal drift]

k so, running a 3.0x16 controller on the 2nd "pcie 4.0x16_2" slot wont reduce the performance of the gpu on the first 4.0x16 slot? reading the specs on boards always confuses me.. because sometimes it says using both 4.0 slots would reduce each to 8x lanes on some boards, and its unclear to me if the gpu slot would be reduced to 8x, even if the controller card isnt on 4.0 speeds

[foggy hazel]

no

top one should be doing its own pci-e 4.0 circuit @lethal drift

[hoary lichen]

Naed i need some help with grounding

[lethal drift]

ahh kk, thanks for the clarification

[foggy hazel]

you are very welcome @lethal drift :)

[hoary lichen]

Do i just need to plug the power supply in and touch it when its off?

@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

thats one way

that ofc requires the plug in the wall to have proper ground

[hoary lichen]

How do i check

🗿

[foggy hazel]

ask the ones that own the house

[hoary lichen]

Bruh

[foggy hazel]

im not joking on that

[hoary lichen]

Can i just use a screw driver and open up the plugs

Im lazy rn

🗿

[foggy hazel]

it wont tell you anything useful

[hoary lichen]

😔

[foggy hazel]

also, i would NEVER recommend that a layman opens up a wall plug/socket.

[hoary lichen]

Watch them not know what grounded plugs are

[little osprey]

debating to buy corsair psu from newegg or corsair lol

[obsidian dove]

Do you guys know of any ram that is good under $50

[little osprey]

honey saved me 5 bucks by using corsair site instead of newegg

@obsidian dove look at cl16 3600

[obsidian dove]

@little osprey anyone specific?

[little osprey]

i just got the cl16 3600 16gb

with how intense games are going to be getting, may as well just get it now than later

[obsidian dove]

@little osprey NICE! how much? i found this..... https://www.amazon.com/TEAMGROUP-T-Force-Vulcan-3200MHz-Desktop/dp/B08HLYSHJC/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=ram%2Bcl16%2B3600&qid=1606401473&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSE5XMjFKOTBQU1AwJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjY2NzYxM0pNWVpKMzhDR0RVWiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDExMDk3MlQxNDI2RUc5TEJYUSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU&th=1

[hoary lichen]

Someone join vc im putting my cooler on

🗿

[obsidian dove]

I cant find cheap ram!

[little osprey]

u cant find good cheap ram

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/denys4172/saved/v3r4sY

[foggy hazel]

@obsidian dove keep in mind, you want 2 identical sticks

[little osprey]

mine is a bit crazy with 32gb

but u want to get 16gb

[foggy hazel]

there is a big performance penalty if you only use a single stick.

[little osprey]

and ye dual channeling same stick from same manufacturer

dont get one from one manufacturer and then another from someone else

@foggy hazel u think i can get any better deal on 2tb hard drive i have?

im not buying it today wil lwait for black friday and cyber monday to see if they go any lower

[foggy hazel]

the barracuda 2tb has been fairly stable at that price for a long time

and its a solid drive IF you absolutely want a hdd

[drifting garnet]

Hello

[obsidian dove]

im looking for some under $50 im on a rly tight budget @foggy hazel @little osprey

[foggy hazel]

@obsidian dove for a amd or intel system?

[obsidian dove]

amd i have the ryzen 3 3100

(first build) xD

[drifting garnet]

I was gonna get the 3100 or 3300x but now I am getting 3600.

[little osprey]

@foggy hazel tbh i wanted to go all out just nvme's lol

but then i was like eh it serves no real purpose but storage

[obsidian dove]

thats how i feel that why i need something cheaper

[foggy hazel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zBTzK8/silicon-power-xpower-turbine-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-sp016gxlzu320bda <- that is the first actually serious set of ram that i would suggest

[obsidian dove]

ok! I wish it was black xD

[foggy hazel]

question: The 1650 Super you have on your list

[little osprey]

i love my keyboard option

[obsidian dove]

yeah?

[little osprey]

was 27 before now 24.99 hehe

[foggy hazel]

any particular reason for that model?

because that one is fairly expensive for the chip it brings

[obsidian dove]

Idk thats what was recomended its was either that or the gigabyte rx 580

[foggy hazel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/rN7p99/pny-geforce-gtx-1650-super-4-gb-video-card-vcg16504ssfppb <- same performance, (or very very close to it) and a heck of a lot cheaper

[drifting garnet]

The 1650 super is better than RX 580 I'm pretty sure.

[obsidian dove]

thats what ive heard

[obsidian dove]

but everyone said to wait becasue rn its exspensive but normal price is 160ish

169 from newegg just out of stock @foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

@obsidian dove as long as you are willing to wait :)

[drifting garnet]

All of the somewhat decently priced ones go outta stock.

[obsidian dove]

lol you think it will be a long wait?

[foggy hazel]

dont know

[grim pagoda]

Is £400 good for a I9-9900K?

[foggy hazel]

stock in the US is moving .. oddly at the moment

[obsidian dove]

yeah so anything on my list that should be changed

[foggy hazel]

its not remotely as odd in the EU right now

personally, i would invest in something like a mp34 m.2 ssd

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/fsqhP6/team-mp34-512-gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-tm8fp4512g0c101

for the following reason

its a solid drive that you can build around

unlike the one you have on the list right now

[drifting garnet]

I am getting the MP34 because so many people have been recommending it.

[foggy hazel]

the one you have now, will work fine

[obsidian dove]

Ok but literally everyone told me that harddrives a way to slow

[hoary lichen]

@foggy hazel

[foggy hazel]

it just goes on the list as "update when you have money"

[hoary lichen]

The ram sticks wont go in the slots

[obsidian dove]

lol oops is it a ssd

[foggy hazel]

mp34 is a m.2 ssd :)

[hoary lichen]

Anything i might be doing wrong

[obsidian dove]

ok but isnt it only like $10 more should i just do it?

[foggy hazel]

@hoary lichen the list of things that a user can potentially be doing wrong is way too long

[hoary lichen]

Vc?

[foggy hazel]

i would strongly recommend that you go with something like the mp34 @obsidian dove

its a solid investment that will last a long time for you

[obsidian dove]

something like or that specififcally

[foggy hazel]

mp34 or sn750

whichever is cheapest

they sometimes change places :)

[obsidian dove]

ok awesome any other ram suggetions around $50

[foggy hazel]

you want black right?

[obsidian dove]

yeah black or white preferably

[foggy hazel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/z3VD4D/team-t-force-vulcan-z-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-tlzgd416g3200hc16cdc01

that is an option

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/V8848d/oloy-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-md4u0836180bhkda

same

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MGLwrH/geil-evo-potenza-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3200-memory-gpb416gb3200c16adc <- same

the one in the middle is the most expensive of the 3

its 57usd

others are 55

[obsidian dove]

Awesome any you think is the better of the 3?

[foggy hazel]

technically, in the long run? yes

right this second,with that particular cpu? it does not matter

[obsidian dove]

Ok which is better for the long run>

[foggy hazel]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/V8848d/oloy-16-gb-2-x-8-gb-ddr4-3600-cl18-memory-md4u0836180bhkda

that one

[obsidian dove]

ok so it def worth the extra like $3 lol

[foggy hazel]

imo, yes

[obsidian dove]

ok cool so if do that ram is everthing else on the build good?

[blazing aurora]

Is there a major advantage in buying gpus with original packaging

[foggy hazel]

@obsidian dove everything looks okay otherwise

[blazing aurora]

I found a good graphics card for a good price but it's without the original box

[foggy hazel]

@blazing aurora you mean: Oem/bulk vs original?

[blazing aurora]

no

[obsidian dove]

Thanks for the help naed! 🙂

[blazing aurora]

I don't think so, at least

[foggy hazel]

you are very welcome @obsidian dove
