Leaks are only leaks, not real perf numbers, if that's what you're on about.
I'm not on about anything
Please clarify then.
I don't know much about the 3060 but I remember hearing it was better than 2080 super, but if those are leaks then I'll just get a 3070
Thank you trev and Mr1111
Nvidia hasn't even officially announced it, so all performance you hear about so far are only leaks.
And it looks like the 3060ti is the one that'll be released, we have box designs from multiple sources for the 3060ti
why h510?????
That build wise, I'd get 3600c16 ram if possible, like a kit of Ballistix 3600c16 is 75usd. I'd get a better case, anything from a MX330-g air if budget is tight, Meshify C on sale at a similar price right now, or TD500 mesh/P400a/P500a/Lancool ii mesh/etc
Because airflow doesn't matter for this
Already said I don't need overclocking
still...
And it won't run hot
It's still a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated.
I'd just change the case
yeah...
Half decent case + Stock cooler will work fine
Then I'll get meshify c
whywould u purposefully get a bad case
Alright.
u dont even need to go that extreme
TBH I don't like H510 for looks or for airflow or anything
meshify c do be nice tho
Meshify C is nice
im not a fan of it
h510 is... too clean...
it's just a box
nr600 is what you should get for airflow if you like the looks of the h510
I don't like it for airflow or looks
Just for looks
but the nr600 is better
so it's just a useless case for me
my man
holes
either way
]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]-\
nr600 looks the same if you like the "clean" look
yep
Otherwise it's fine
that works as long as the price stays around the same
RM 850 is usually more expensive, but decent rn
All the gpus out of stock
This'll be for later dulvn
@tepid roost what will you be doing on the computer? just wondering bc you might want to wait for a 5600x if you are gaming
Gaming
I thought about 5600x
I might see about that
Idk if the guy is wanting to wait tho
Yea
canadia boi by any chance?
No sir
rip
Lol
canada computers lets you reserve back ordered parts
i wish i had a microcenter in my city. i would love that store
microcenters do seem pretty pog
I would love to have one too
@stoic island 5600xt wont bottleneck right?
hey guys can someone build me a really goog 550 pc
yes
Do you guys think the 3060ti is coming out?
maybe
I can try I’m bad at budget builds
eventually
i am trying to get one
Most likely
Same
I want one
can anyonr make me a 550 budget build
Yes what are you using it for
Gaming
yes
Ok
550 is doable but quite tough i think
I can try
Lemme try
idk
550 is an interesting area
dwell can u help
cpu / gpu isn't good rn
uhhh thats a very vague question @little osprey
its right between dedicated gpu and integrated
ye
on pc part picker
i wouldn't buy new under 600
1650s and 3100 for sure
debatable
thats the perfect budget combo
theres a range of like, 490-570 ish thats kinda like a no mans land
nice list
right between integrated and dedicated
but is ti good
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tx9qdD this is meh and leaves 200 whatever for gpu
;-;
how much is that board
$500

but isnt it really good
which one
maximus, aorus master
i'm seeing it for like 300 and up
yah
what cpu are you using ?
is it a good mobo
taichi is nice too
5600x
bruh
why
you dont need a fukin ACE for that
BRO IM DED
THE WHOLE STOCK OF THE 3100 IS GONE
you can use like, a $100 mobo for that
BRUHHHH
ok chillllllllllllllllllll
jesus
NO IDEA
canadia still has it tho
if you want something that looks nice and is decent for a 5600x just get like a msi mpg b550 or whatever it is
the 150 one
i was going to get the B550 gaming edge
the b550 aorus pro is nice too
one
can u guys build me a 600 budget build
that look cool for gaming
and outside look
yeah do not focus on looks for that cheap of a build
Lemme add gpu
that will get you nowhere
something like this
but ignore the gpu
placeholder for better 1650s when prices r normal
and just get a used rx 570 for 100 or something
ok
ok
is the msi B550 gaming edge good
Not worth
also @vital warren
For budget build
cani get unbaned from my other acount
no reason for the apu when you have a dedicated gpu, too much on storage for the price and a bad ssd, i wouldn't buy rx 570 new
This is for @ember creek https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YBFW9N
ok what about this mobo https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MPG-B550-Motherboard-Processors/dp/B089CQFHHZ
no reason for the apu when you have a dedicated gpu, too much on storage for the price and a bad ssd, i wouldn't buy rx 570 new
Gimme sec
No point
why?
In x570 they are expensive
well arnt they better
And you will never get one in a 600 dollar budget
No
And yes
More expansion slots that’s all
if you are a rich oil prince then go ahead and get a $300 board
hey @stoic island cani get unbanned
ok
what a good gpu fit with the 5600x
3060ti?
can do a 3070 in a 1k budget and a 3080 for a lil more
hey @vital warrencan u add me on my other account
i can dm u my tag
@vital warren 3100 and 5600xt will run fine right?
should yeah
wat abt 3600
if you can get a good deal on a 3600 go for it but good luck with that these days
Yes
Thanks
No
Next Tuesday I'll have an actual desk to use😁
Yeah it’s not bad
What could be better
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Bad word usage
Reason: Too many infractions
hi
Hey can anyone help my build a pc , I have a prebuilt but it's pretty bad , I'm getting a and ryzen 7 3700 , already have a graphics card and and storage but need every thing else
@whole harbor i wouldnt do that
how much more are you spending
bruh
Like 700-800
make smarter decisions next time
wym?
@vital warren friend me i have to go cya
pce
dont keep on typing when it is already warning you
ok wtv
I DID IT WITH THE WORD twice
ok relax
Mmm ok
MSI gtx 1650 super or Asus gtx 1650 super? which is better?
check the clock speeds
base clock speeds
otherwise, the difference is very minimal
they are both 1650 super
ight bet, thanks
yep np
https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/cYtmLP @vital warren remember that 1k 3070 well this is slightly modified to different nvme cause cheaper and new hdd and case with monitor headset keeb and mouse
Hey can anyone help my build a pc , I have a prebuilt but it's pretty bad , I'm getting a and ryzen 7 3700 , already have a graphics card and and storage but need every thing else. And have a 700-750$ budget
What gpu
Radeon rx 580
Mainly need help with the mother board
@static plume is that with monitors and mouse and keyboard and headset
Yeah
Ok
I can try
What keyboard do you want
What hz monitor
And do you want headset with mic built in
potentially, tho I havent seen a g3 worth its price for a little while now cuz you can just buy a higher wattage PSU for the same price. Also depends on how far past the safe limits you're pushing it. Might just harm the PSU in the process
And what mouse
Oh my bad I already have that stuff , sorry I misunderstood
Nope
What do you mean by case fans ?
Oh , yeah
So do you need any
Yes
Yeah , but it's ok if they dont
Ok
I dont have thermal paste I heard tooth paste will work but for a short term
Is that tru?
@cursive wharf hm afaik ocp tripping from high transient response cards are just spikes, correct?
spikes can still be harmful to PSU/GPU. Like with some EVGA 3090 and 3080(?) cards spiking too high and blowing fuses on the cards themselves
XC3/FTW3, whatever was the highest end card for EVGA
@stoic island
Idk but don’t take risk use look if your cooler has pre applied
@little osprey ok , is that the best motherboard you recommend then?
@static plume and @stoic island is this good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TMtmLP
Interesting
Kinpin maybe?
Tho I would think kinpin power delievery would be just
overkill overall
@little osprey no need for extra fans, otherwise good
Yeah I uhh took off the heatsink and I dont have any thermalpaste ty bruv I’m just dum
@little osprey oh ok so I don't need the fans and is that the best motherboard?
Ya without spending too much and those fans will improve airflow
I could spend more like 200 on the mother board
Just don’t use tooth paste
It’s fine that mobo is great
And u will save a lot of money and that money could go to gpu
Oh ok cause I was recommended this one (ASUS AM4 TUF Gaming X570-Plus) which was what I was originally going to get , and is my gpu not that great then ?
Oh your gpu is great just I meant later on
Oh ok cool
Or you could use that saved money on new stuff like to make your setup cleaner
Or like just save it
Or upgrade later on
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XLznmg
Cause this is what going to get
@stoic island no kingpin is fine afaik, it was FTW3 tho that had the issues
apparently can be fixed via vBIOS update, but idk
was with their recent release of the "XOC" vBIOS update for 500w the issue started happening
huh
thought they were tuning down the boosting and power behavior over that whole 'caps being bad' thing
And is there a different mobo that is worth the price? Or should I just get the b550
Ok thank you 👌
Np
Has receipt, 1 month old, good deal?
Oh and I wanted to get liquid cooling is there any you recommend?
No problem
boosting was tuned down, but cuz of Strix being at 480w and theirs being at 450w they pushed to 500w. Allows for some more overhead, tho spikes are out of control now and it can spike to a lot more then 500w. I think I heard of 650w spikes? Cant remember now. Either way some FTW3 cards have been getting some blown fuses since then, might just be bad batch of fuses, bad vBIOS, or both. @stoic island
@little osprey 350.68 United States Dollar
Hope you dont mind me pinging you
Huh
god damn okay
God damn this would be overkill for my FX 6300
Bro
Thanks 👍
no
dont buy
nvm
its NZ currency
its an ok deal
turns out i was only able to buy the motherboard
cpu and case were only available for pickup
in ottawa
Anyone know of a good but cheap cpu cooler I don’t need one but just want one
do you want one thats good looking, or just works well?
theres the gammax gt BK
Stock coolers are adequate, and require no further investment than the price of the CPU
Ooo I like that one thanks
For CPUs which come with
Yeah it does
Wait does this Check this out on @Newegg: AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 65W 100-100000071BOX Desktop Processor https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-7-3700x/p/N82E16819113567?Item=N82E16819113567&Source=socialshare&cm_mmc=snc-social-_-sr-_-19-113-567-_-11262020
Does this come with the wraith cooler
@stoic island
3700x comes with wraith prism
No matter what?
Ok good thanks
:)
Prism and max are actually really flipping nice looking
It’s what I was planning on buying before I discovered the gammax GT lul
the prism looks SICK irl
trust me photos dont do it justice
also its talelr than u think
Is this a good buy?
is a seagate Barracuda Q1 SSD anygood?
Yeah it is USD
Can't say @glacial umbra
There's no info about it on the SSD spreadsheet
Beyond the fact that it's QLC
Should I wait after the holidays then? It will probably be less expensive then.
Where would I buy one at? eBay?
black friday deal from trusted seller
bruh WTF am i seeing a 5700 xt for $1200
Lmao go for it
that's a steal lol
I wouldn't use it as your boot drive, but as some extra storage it could see a bit of use
I could probably pick up a decent boot drive for cheap now though
Idk it has qlc in place of dram
If you really want it yeah, use it only as file storage
Not for games or nothin
Will slow down as it fills up
You can get a 500gb Skhynx gold for 45 usd on Amazon right now
yo guys i have question
What’s a decent price for a used 1070?
what type of moniter should i get for this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CyjPfP
@deft harbor can I get some drugs
sure
ok thx
VA is a decent option
Best buy has some good deals on monitors and peripherals right now
For a 1660 super, a 75 hz monitor will be just fine.
man I get it's not the best ssd or anything but 15 USD for a 960GB ssd is good
I think you could find a use for it
wait so can a 1660s use gsync
It's nice to have extra storage in any form
yeah for sure
Yes, but it is also freesync compatible
@deft harbor
oh ok bet
You have my blessing lmao
That same monitor is on Newegg for $150
👌
I love Best Buy. They always say $100 off, but in reality it is the same price as before Black Friday.
Sometimes
and should i use dual moniter for this or naw https://pcpartpicker.com/list/CyjPfP
Most of the time best buy ain't best buy
^
@deft harbor lemme fix
Oh dude
I love dual monitor setups. So yes
Yeah most of the time it's over msrp
Worst buy 😳 😎 😎 😎 😎 hahahah what a scathing review amirite
If you have the money
Are you using that P2 as a boot drive?
ok
p2 use hmb
It shouldn't cost that much more
dram be superior
180 for a 3100?
P2 should be the one with dram
3100 price is really volatile right now
it's sad
I would get the i3-10100 for $100 on Amazon
Not really a good time to buy pc parts rn
It's been on the climb and drop for a couple days
it was 130$ on BHP yesterday
What's it's msrp lol
100 probably
manufacturer suggested retail price
Jesus
basically, base price
80 dollars over
That's almost like 1x more
It ok mr1
@deft harbor the 3100 is at an all time high so wait for it to go to $99-$110 and gpu can go for $230 when in stock. Motherboard could have been cheaper. Ram was way to overpriced. Case was overkill. U can now upgrade ur parts and get better ones. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/m8LCwz
$100 for the i3-10100 on Amazon is a great deal, with comparable performance to the 3300x.
Thats
Is the 10100 a thing lol
ya
Idk intel
4c8t
@whole harbor thx but might chnge cases tho
The Ryzen counterparts have much better all core
Yeah, but for gaming it doesn’t really matter
3300X never existed, we should forget about it smh
@deft harbor the case u got was way to overkill
With ur budget
U might as well
Get a higher level gpu and cpu
Ill do it real quick
You could also get the 2600x for $150 if you want an AMD 6c cpu
Zen+ tho
I'd get a 5600xt but if you want nvenc and reliability go 1660 super
I'd rather get zen2 or above personally
@deft harbor https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cHYPfP
4c8t is still nice for basic users :)
Tbh, I think the i3-10100 is the best deal rn. Since nobody likes intel it is cheap 😂
4c8t is solid
Imagine 3 years ago. Everyone would think we are stupid for saying 4c8t is “ok”.
3100, 3300x, 3600xt
3700x
3300x
1650 Supers at 400 dollars 
I said x
they dont even make those anymore
😂
Lmao
@short parcelvin do u think the 3600 and the 5600 xt would drop prices
possible
5600xt
Oop you pinged rando
yea
@deft harbor asrock had a 5600xt for $290 rn
3600 should drop to norm price of
$200
lower is possible
3100 is hella overpriced rn
WHYYY
Don't buy a pc rn
Just get the i3-10100
too late
Terrible prices
Ic
TO LATE LUL
Oh, maybe a 2600x?
no
Zen + tho
Well the gpu and cpu are the worst rn lmao
I'd rather not
I migjt buy a 2600x lowkey
Name me another good sub $150 cpu lol
@whole harbor i might just stay with the sapphire since they r a better known amd gpu company i guess
@deft harbor u could say rhatt
dulvn just be mindful of return periods
Just wait till prices drop

@jagged ember to much work
LUL
But I guess, rma is a thing
how much do u think the 5700 xt would go down to
Lul
Good luck

I bought mine for 380
dang
You would probably need at least $100,000 to have a chance at winning an eBay auction of a 3090
Just go there to up the bid
Wow
i can get a 3090
Pog
Ez
good deal
Hello, I am considering to buy an i9 10850k + ASUS ROG Maximus VII Hero (WIFI) for $764
any thoughts on this?
why dont u get a 5000 series chip then get at least a b550
B550 + 5th gen Ryzen is the best for that price point
@gusty sinew I'd personally look into other mobos, 10850k on it's own is ~430usd
a good Z490 board would just be around 200usd
I got a Z490 for $110 brand new.
depends on the board really
some z490 boards are fairly bad and I'd rather not use em for a 10850k
I am going to put my i5-10400 in it 😂
i want a quality board
i would have waited for 5000 series, but there is none in stock
do u need the pc now
i am looking for black friday deals
Random example decent board
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086QSD3M4
Out of stock lol
That looks like a nice board
now thats a THICC boi
I alr bought pog
lol
or should i go for the i9 9900k
Nah, 9900k is a step back in core count and single core perf and all
^
If you were aiming for 10900k perf, might as well go 10850k+decent z490 board, or like 5900x+decent b550 board
thank you.. I actually am building my first cpu
i might be overkilling the build, since i only use it to play league of legends, excel, watch youtube, and stream
based on that knowledge, you think i am building well or should i downgrade?
Downgrade
a bit overkill wouldn't hurt, I'll make an overkill list :D
Get a cheaper motherboard
@lucid cloud https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XvfrcT
@gusty sinew Do you have a monitor already?
thank you guys for assisting, i appreciate the input
The kraken m22 is a toasty boi
This'll be overkill, but an outline to start off ig.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fz7YW3
no i don't have a monitor, i was looking for a 1440p, IPS, one
maybe higher than 165 hz
M27q is a great choice
frls?
(it doesn't go boom, but it's bad)
whats the recommended psu wattage for a 3070
Nice, but maybe add the SN 750 1 tb
MP34 is actually same quality as SN750 really
thanksfor the heads up
Oh I didn’t know that
:)
No need for heatsink on a PCIe 3.0 drive
The controller on my 970 evo plus gets really hot
@gusty sinew This is the M27q btw
https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16824012018
i was thinking of geting that? is it good?
Yeah its a great drive
@lyric thistle dunno man, it really shouldn't throttle unless it has like no airflow
@stoic island Thank you. what are your thoughts on the following: HP Omen IPS 27", Dell S2721 DGF,
¯_(ツ)_/¯
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shruggie chain shruggie chain
okay
do u guys know a good side moniter cuz im gonna do for a dual moniter setup
Dell S2721QS 27 Inch 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Ultra-Thin Bezel Monitor, AMD FreeSync (HDMI, DisplayPort), VESA Certified, Silver
what about this one?
is it not gaming, that is why it is cheaper?
lol there's a displays channel :)
It's 4k 60hz
(not to dissuade you from using this one for displays, channel discipline is lax here)
60hz makes it not so nice for gaming and all
@lyric thistle tbh build-chat is good foreverything
mainly because people don't really have questions about only one catagory
yes yes
@stoic island how do you think league of legends performs on a 60hz?
@gusty sinew well, performance completely depends on the PC, the only thing monitor does is display the frames the PC produces
60hz means it'll only be able to display 60 frames per second, without getting into the weird and confusing bits
It's just not a great time
right.. i was going with a high end build, but i guess i shouldn't now
144hz is preferred for gaming for a reason.
thank you
hm? 1440p144hz is the sweet spot for high end in my opinion lel @gusty sinew
Well, for gaming you don't need a lot of cores, just fast cores
i can't determine which one to get i9 10th gen, or ryzen 5000s
a 10600k with 6c12t will do you just fine
the only real difference between 10900k and 10600k is 4 more cores
Well at least the 10900k is in stock
I’d get 9900k over 10600k
Guys
mainly for z490 upgradability
Should I get this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-tuf-gaming-vg249q-144hz-23-8-ips-lcd-fhd-1ms-freesync-gaming-monitor-displayport-dvi-hdmi-black/6395359.p?skuId=6395359
Another paper launch
and slightly better single core perf
I agree, but most people don’t upgrade every gen
also, didn't they get rid of some of the security vulnerabilities of 9th gen with 10th gen? don't remembernow
@hazy rune Ofc not, the point is having another generation of upgradability, it's like today being able to upgrade like from say a 8700k to 9700k
it's a nice to have
Fair
but it's a nice-to-have thing
Is upgrading from a 9400f to a 9700f worth it?
I don't like being stuck at the 'top' for the platform with 9900k
@stoic island what about GPU's for my background?
@little osprey probably not
5700xt is about as good as you're going to get for good price to performance today
(in stock)
3070 3080 6800 6800xt all out of stock
Right now I'm cpu bound so I'm looking to upgrade
and likely will be for the next few months
No my name is a joke
You never can tell...
9400f and a 5700xt
thoughts on the 10900f?
it's 364 on amazon and idk how it stacks up against the 10850k which is 430 on newegg
i also have a question about how to determine what RAM is compatible with the motherboard. I see a lot of RAM on sale for black friday, not sure if it would work well for.. lets say ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO
B E A N S
You guys are all going to be jealous of my build
for compatibility you want to check your mobo memory slots. This will tell you how many ram sticks you can put in and more importantly the # of pins.
Ready for the link
big doubt
you have to be trolling
It would perform worse for my uses
Imagine actually buying it tho😂 I ain’t got that type of money to be wasting on a pc
lol
And who in the damn world would need 8 monitors
I had 4 at one time in a 2x2 setup, didn't like having to look up at the top two, but it was useful for monitoring systems
@ornate solstice I can't think of a single use
I had a 4 monitor setup before I moved and I gave them to my cousins
And bought 3 instead
I like 3 for gaming
Same
Gaming monitor in the middle, normal 2 on sides
I didn’t like looking up so I have my biggest one in the middle and then my second biggest on my left and my smallest on my right
All 3 were gaming monitors
Right the looking up is annoying
and no monitor in the center
I don't have the $$ to waste on 3 gaming monitors
But all 3 are 27"
Middle is 2k @ 144hz g-sync compatible
One was my brothers old one and the other 2 I bought because I originally had 2 rigs one in my room and the other in my office
ok
makes more sense
yeah the two side monitors on mine are what i was using previously, just swapped out the middle monitor for a gaming monitor
Makes sense
I use the one on my right to pull up my stream and the one on my left is usually discord
But I like really need to buy new headphones cause my beats aren’t good anymore
I use my beats mixr that’s the model bet you’ve never heard of them
Bruh if all that is true I can accept donations from your prior builds.
Me?
I would bet you guys are jealous of my build
I gave my rig that was in my office to my cousin for his bday cause he was saving up for a prebuilt pc and was about to buy some trash so I gave him my old one
What’s it look like @zinc grotto
Ok
I don’t know what’s in my pc i don’t remember what I bought
And it’s at the office so I don’t wanna drive all the way over there
It’s a 10min drive from my house
Optiplex 7010 you help? Sorry if wrong place just got pushed here from support. Thanks for patients
Sorry. Just found gpu part.
does the heatsink for top of the bored need to be water cooled or is it passive cooled
@ornate solstice https://pcpartpicker.com/list/prkcMv
btw i got the 9900ks basically as soon as it came out, so I didn't pay anywhere what it costs now
I have an amd build
oh
And I have the same case
lol
Like when I do go back ima have to clean my pc very good cause of all the dust
i9 was like 600
Why do u need a 3090
i wanted a 3080, but i saw the 3090 available and it was basically an impulse buy
will intel 400 series work with z370
don't think so
Ima say no
Unless ur making a AAA game (other exceptions) u do not need a 3090
dang because i cant find any good looking asus board
i haven't looked into the 400 series boards, but i loved the bios on my asus prime z270
gigabyte bios is no bueno
Yeah I mean I have a 2080ti
I had a 2070super before. Wanted to upgrade to the kingpin hybrid 2080ti for a long time, but prices never went down
I just wanted to say that I have the best gaming rig in the world
False
how
Fakse
they all look good
Someone spent 1mil on a complete water cooled pc
5900x better than i9 and double maybe quad 3090 would be the best
Ok I gtg gotta go deal hunting Black Friday is in a 40 mins
obviously there's plenty of room for improvement, but this is like a dream build
btw anyone who hates on or owns the g.skill royal look, just remove the light diffusers. they look damn good without them.
I’m not buying and PC stuff for Christmas but I am gonna try and get both the Xbox and ps5
good luck @ornate solstice
@timber swallow within reason
Have a good one
later
@timber swallow would like to have something full water-cooled. my case air flow isn't the best, zotac for 3090 is not the best, but you can up the clock speeds a lot with no issues
its overkill a little bit
is that motherbored fine because it has watercool inputs for the Vrms
you mean if you're not watercooling your system?
yeah
That's a good question
i like the board but not sure about the inputs there
it might be passive cooled i could be wrong
I'd think it would be fine. I've never had any heat issues with vrms, but if it was designed to only be cooled via watercooling, it might be an issue
yeah because this is my first build also so i wouldnt want anything to go wrong
Can u help me
Sure
I haven't used amd for a few generations, so I'm not sure. I'd change out the video card if you're gaming on it
Is that your price range for it?
