I seen it run like a avg of like 80 fps on high images on gta 5

Whatever

zinc grotto Nov 27, 2020, 7:49 AM

I had one, but didn't use it for gaming. It should be fine

odd crypt Nov 27, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

You still have it?

zinc grotto Nov 27, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

Had some 570s as well. Much better value

#

I sold it a few weeks ago

#

along with the 5 570s I had

#

Used 1070s sell for around that price

is a QLC ssd worth it?

like a 960GB one for 15 bucks

it's black friday deal

nice that's decent

I might save an extra 50 bucks to get the 5600xt tho

cursive haven Nov 27, 2020, 8:07 AM

a 5600xt is 280-300+

Don't you need a GPU?

i have an ancient 550 ti i am gonna throw in there

#

this is an xmas gift and i cant afford a nore gpu on top

#

so i figured use that and she can save up for a card on her own if she wants

#

it hurts my soul to put a 550ti in here but money lol

Anyone want to give an opinion on my final build (the prices are not what I'm paying bc I'm not in america)

System Builder

karmic bobcat Nov 27, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

@fervent quail hold on chief. That build has some serious issues. Mainly the SSD and PSU. If you’re putting in a 550TI? No need for 650 watts. Maybe we could downgrade that PSU to like, 550W and save 40 bucks. Same goes for the storage. It’s DRAMless and that’s ew. Let’s see if we can make this build cheaper

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:43 AM

#

i would personally go with a evga psu and your gpu temps may run a little high with that case since the front doesnt have a lot of airflow but it doesnt look bad

#

one thing to keep in mind is you will need different software to controll the gpu and mobo rgb since they are different brand

karmic bobcat Nov 27, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

Why is there literally no price for anything on that build waitwhat

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

i always try to keep my mobo and gpu the same to prevent that issue

karmic bobcat Nov 27, 2020, 8:45 AM

#

Poor case choice

#

Limited airflow from the front

#

And with a 3080 and 5900X? Airflow is key

#

thinksmart

#

A TD500 could work

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:47 AM

#

@karmic bobcat I will be getting a different ssd, i just forgot to change that out. I am also scoring a free 128gb m.2 to stick the OS on

#

as for the psu its on sale and I am hoping to get a 1660 super or ti in there within the year and figured better to overvolt and future proof

karmic bobcat Nov 27, 2020, 8:48 AM

#

Gotcha

#

Well hope all goes well

drifting topaz Nov 27, 2020, 8:48 AM

Anyone know why the ETA for dark hero got removed. Cuz I got alerted then the sec I checked it was still out of stock

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:49 AM

#

yeah i would like to do more with the build but im hitting the edge of my budget for a gift and im already merging xmas, bday, and graduation lol

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

karmic bobcat A TD500 could work

The Td500 had a difference of like 2 degrees in temps. Also, is the 5900x even that hot?

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:50 AM

#

its got a lot of cores

karmic bobcat Nov 27, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

Do you not see that mesh 😏

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:51 AM

#

i have a similar style case atm and it works ok bit i have a 1070 and a 7700k with a 360 aio keeping the cpu cool lol

#

you will be makin a lot more heat with that gpu alone

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

The TUF OC holds good temps tho. It's one of the coolest 3080s

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

if you are going to have restricted airflow, then i would try to get a large case, since it will have better circulation

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

Also the td500 apparently doesn't support a 280mm AIO on top

fervent quail Nov 27, 2020, 8:53 AM

#

not sure your budget but i would look into lian li

#

my next case is gonna be from them

#

if you are on a budget look for a case that has a mesh front

#

or side fans instead of front ones if you want the front open

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

So other than the case do you think the build is ok

#

@terse harbor dont get the thermaltake one its bad

#

@rancid pasture the ssd is meh kinda garbage can get a m.2 ssd way better 500gb for $10 more, gpu is meh because single fan, and im pretty sure iirc that power supply is bad also

#

case isnt good either because not great airflow

#

id recommend a coolermaster mb311L

the one that costs $216?

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 10:53 AM

i beileve so

would this be a big difference

comparing it to the pny one i had originally

for this price is this a good build?

ahh i see ok, and is this entirely everything i need

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

only thing odd about it is the gpu from dell lol

#

no

#

wifi you will need adapter

#

id suggest ethernet tho if u can

#

better latency with wifi

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

i would, but my coux outlet in my room doesnt work not sure why

#

the modem is in a different room 😦

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

oof

#

hold up ill look on newegg and see whats on sale

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

for the cooling part, would i need to buy more fans or is that okay

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 10:59 AM

#

the 2 pre included fans should be enough

#

but you will want to move the top front fan to rear exhaust back

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

ahh i see

#

okay, please tell me if you see anything else good in newegg cuz i been waitting for black friday but it seems like nothing really dropped lol

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 11:00 AM

#

it works well. I have a secondary system with same case but different variant and it cools it very well

#

the ram price dropped tho for that ram

which I was like ooga im buying that for my brothers pc for christmas

it works fine after driver updates

and ur in luck because it would fit fine in ur mobo

well

#

the only thing I really see halfway decent that fits budget is the ryzen 3 3200G

#

$97

#

it still can game well paired with a 1650 super

#

but ill refresh the page and look again

#

are you set on going amd? @rancid pasture

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

yeah, is there a better alternative?

#

id say i am

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

we could look at intel 10th gen i3 possibly

#

eh nvm it isnt worth it

#

what do you think?

#

2600 price might go back down lower later

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 11:13 AM

#

at this point, i dont mind buying my parts now, even if it went up

#

so to my understanding, everything is set apart from the wifi adapter

is there a way to get wifi instead of buying an adapter?

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 11:18 AM

#

oh and btw you can buy windows 10 for cheap on like G2A or ebay

#

and what do u mean?

#

its a wifi card that slots into the motherboard

#

not a usb one

#

it also has bluetooth so if u wanna use controller or something

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 11:19 AM

#

ohhhh

#

@ripe wedge I see what you meant about the Dell part, unfortunately its the cheapest to buy from, unless theres an alternative im missing..

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 11:29 AM

I think it will be fine ordering from dell

#

for this build, what monitor hz should i get?

#

or is it unnecasary

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

Not hopefully lol it will all fit. I have a ryzen 3 1300x and GTX 970 build with a similar micro atx mobo in the same case

#

144hz 1080p is probably what you should look for

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 11:59 AM

#

ahhhh i see, the prices for the 144hz is crazy.. i didnt know they even go for those prices

#

is it overkill for 144 or is like a 75 okay

ripe wedge Nov 27, 2020, 12:00 PM

#

I think there are some on sale

#

144hz is a huge step up from 75

#

What’s your price range for a monitor

#

And 144hz is worth it imo

rancid pasture Nov 27, 2020, 12:00 PM

@ripe wedge Do you think the pcie4 slot will have room for the adapter? Like it won’t be blocked by anything when being put together?

#

@orchid idol i'd like to point out that if you'd rather wait for stock of new video cards to stabilize before splurging on a new upgrade, replacement coolers do exist

#

up to you if you think it's worth the hassle, if it helps you avoid overspending on a new last-gen card it might be worth it

#

https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Xtreme-III-CrossFire/dp/B007YLUCKQ/ this is $59 and fits on reference gtx 970 but i don't know what specific model you have

if you're willing to play the refresh game for a new gen card then you can just do that

Why new ram?

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 3:03 PM

your cpu uses ddr3 ram

modern cpus use ddr4 ram

#

different standard

#

your current ram will not even fit in the slots on a modern board

#

ddr5 approaching in 1-2 years

#

so yeah you can keep same cooler if you're upgrading to another intel chip

#

if you're upgrading to an AMD chip you'll be able to keep the same cooler if you have AM4 mounting hardware for it

#

but board and ram need upgrade

#

intel 1st-10th gen all have the same mounting holes

if she is complaining about it being slow it is more likely to be lack of RAM or pc is running off of a hard drive

i5-10400F with 2060 will average about 300 FPS at competitive settings

while R7 3700X with 2060 will average more like 240

@earnest olive i dont think thatll happen in comp games

earnest olive <@456226577798135808> at this point in time you'd be best off with an i5-10400F

I agree ty

whole harbor Nov 27, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

if ur pro pro youll get around 120 fps with a 2080 ti and 10900k

#

in a comp@game

#

Low settinngs

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:05 PM

#

you can pair it with a lower end Z490 board to unlock 3600mhz ram

#

@little osprey https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mWjCwz something like this would work well

System Builder

#

though if you have a 360hz monitor you can probably afford the 10600K

#

if you're looking for 240hz the 10400F will do fine

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:06 PM

240hz is fine

But nah I was wondering one thing

Why the heck are all those parts so expensive

#

I understand the GPU. But that monitor and RAM?

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:16 PM

That monitor is 65 inch

And that ram is one of the best

And the cpu is so bad

Don’t get that cpu

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:19 PM

if you're going for a 3950X don't see why you are skimping on ram and ssd

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

And gpu

#

Like what’s that brand

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

presumably not a gaming build if going for 3950X

#

powercolor is one of the best radeon AIBs...

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:19 PM

#

Oh oop

#

Well get zen 3

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:20 PM

#

only sapphire has a better reputation

#

3950X is a fine chip if it's not a gaming build

#

no need for an x570 board with just 1 gen 3 ssd

#

@mortal rampart what is the use case here

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

what is a good mobo for the i5 10600k

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

depends on your budget

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

around 120

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

yeah that's just not gonna be enough for a 10600K tbh

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:24 PM

#

just say a good mobo for it

#

is the MSI Z490-A PRO good?

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

depends on your definition of good

#

it is passable

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:25 PM

#

what is a good one

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

like i said, depends on your definition of good

#

Z490-A PRO will overclock a 10600K

#

won't max out a 10900K

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

I wont overclock btw

#

and I just want something generally GOOD

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

then Z490-A PRO is more than fine if you won't overclock

toxic widget Nov 27, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

Is this good? 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600 (PC4-28800) C18 AMD Optimized Memory – Black (I’m asking about the C18) I’m not to sure about memory..

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

though if you won't overclock then the price premium of the 10600K is not worth it over the 10400F tbh

#

@toxic widget you want cas latency to be as low as possible

#

3600C16 is a good price/perf balance

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:28 PM

if you're gonna spend an extra $100 you might as well use the overclocking feature you paid for

Yea

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

you'll be able to do a decent overclock on the Z490-A PRO anyways

not like you're pushing a 10900K on it

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:29 PM

Yeah

ok

Could anyone help me with a build for my budget?

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:30 PM

probably can push at least 4.9 on that board

little osprey Nov 27, 2020, 5:30 PM

900-1000

@mortal rampart anyways besides the 3950x he really does not need an x570 board

just wasting money

put that money into better ram and ssd than this budget stuff

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:40 PM

He doesn't need anymore than that

C16 ram instead of C18, and a faster 1tb ssd

not all 16gb ram and not all 1tb ssds are created equal

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:41 PM

I'm aware

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:42 PM

#

1tb gen4 ssds are like $240

#

not really worth it

#

would up gpu to at least a 6800xt before even considering upgrading to a gen4 ssd tbh

#

6800xt/3080

#

he can afford to do that it he resells the 3950X

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

He's not in for the waiting game

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

fair enough

still not worth getting a gen4 ssd

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

So current gen is what he's settling with

#

He's not lmao

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:43 PM

#

in that case might as well get an intel cpu

#

ain't nobody in their right mind paying $300 for a 3600 right now

#

(yes, that's how much they cost right now)

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

So he getting a 3950x for 400

#

Ya I'm aware

#

I have one but when it was like $175

#

And I don't think he'll resell it

#

He just won't

earnest olive Nov 27, 2020, 5:45 PM

#

buy 3950x for 400, sell for 600+, buy a 10400F or 10600K instead

mortal rampart Nov 27, 2020, 5:45 PM
