[fading kiln]

3d work mostly

and a lot of chrome

[wanton cliff]

if the kits havent been tested together there is a chance it might not work

[fading kiln]

wait what

they are the same kits

[wanton cliff]

yeah but they havent been tested together

just be prepared in case

[fading kiln]

is this a thing, damn

ok thanks

[still bay]

u should be fine'

but try to remember what sticks go with each other

[wanton cliff]

most of the time you will be fine

[still bay]

as a trouble shooting measure potentially

[wanton cliff]

this

2 separate packs?

daMN

doesnt matter

you should be fine but it has happened before

usually exhaust

how tf did you get a 3090?

[still bay]

fck it im water cooling my pc with arizona iced tea

[wanton cliff]

nah

vodka

[fading kiln]

arizona

[still roost]

peanut!#1907 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[still bay]

mf's be ghost pinging

[fading kiln]

thankfully 3000 cards are doing a bit better here in the EU in terms of stock

[wanton cliff]

good

good for you guys

did the peanut get kicked?

yo peanut got kicked

why?

[still bay]

lmao fcking normie

[modern pagoda]

@fallen escarp come back

[edgy wagon]

5900x or 5600x for gaming and streaming

yeah

its 550 vs 300 dollars

[shut dock]

thanks

[little osprey]

Should I wait for 3080 or 3070 or just get the 3060 tm?!

[toxic widget]

This is good right?

Capacity:16GB (2 x 8GB)
Speed:DDR4 3600 (PC4 28800)
CAS Latency:16 (I’m talking about the cas Rating)

[weak field]

um

[winged tinsel]

If I touched my m.2 ssd without being grounded did I ruin it?

[weak field]

couldve just sent a link to the rsm

did you shock it?

like zap

[winged tinsel]

Idk how do I know?

[weak field]

when you run around with socks on carpet and zap your friend or sum

[winged tinsel]

I also set it down on a metal desk

[inland parrot]

Hey what are the best computer benchmark to run on your pc

[winged tinsel]

And to my knowledge I didn’t shock it

[final flame]

Hi All, I need some help please - my son wants to build his own but I want to get him a prebuild that my son can customize. Any suggestions? Thank you!

[toxic widget]

NZXT BLD

[weak field]

nzxt bld

build reduc

redux

[midnight jasper]

digital storm but NZXT is much better

[rough escarp]

What's a good micro atx case

[weak field]

theres some in hours companies out there but thats um... sus

yes

[little osprey]

Lol no, those components have protection
Only very old hardware could be ruined if touched

[midnight jasper]

just updated my list cause im addicted and i have a problem
what you guys think. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BjH22V

[little leaf]

@midnight jasper bad

[midnight jasper]

why

[little leaf]

how are you sepnding 2.6k on a pc that doesn't have a 3090?

I mean I guess if you don't want more performance

also

whats the purpose?

[midnight jasper]

cause i aint going to be doing anything that needs a 3090

and its just to much overkill

with a 3090

[little leaf]

I mean I guess if you don't want more performance

so your just wasting money

so do what ever you want

[midnight jasper]

I am

[little osprey]

3090 perf increase is minimal

For it's price.

Also that ram is overpriced

[midnight jasper]

I just wont be doing anything that needs a 3090

[limpid cipher]

I planning my build for hopefully next year when things are back in stock, but I think unless we get some gpus that hit a lower price point I might go back a gen because I don't need 4k and could always just upgrade later when it is more standard. Problem being finding what card is best bang for the buck at $300 or less.

[weak field]

and you are asking?

[final flame]

So it sounds like you all are suggesting bld yourself. Any good prebuilds? Sorry if I missed it. Thanks!!

I don't live in a place that I can get things quick - a small island, takes forever!

[weak field]

island?

[old trail]

by then an rtx 2060 or 3060 (if its out) would be best, or a gtx 1660ti.

[weak field]

like a city island or like a stereotype hawaii island

[balmy patio]

no not a 1660ti

get a 5600x instead

[old trail]

NZXT BLD is the best prebuilt if you are on a realistic budget. If not, check out Digital Storm but otherwise NZXT BLD.

[old trail]

oh yea duh

[weak field]

@final flame, Nzxt bld has there own series of prebuilts that you can customize varying on your budget.

[severe axle]

or redux/xoticpc?

[final flame]

kermit - as in Bahamas which is actually 700 islands. ok I'll look at NZXT, thanks. Any thoughts on ASUS ? B&H suggested it but has less storage than what my son wanted

[balmy patio]

storage is easy to expand in the future

[weak field]

there pretty uhm.. money hungry delro

redux not as much

but i believe thats more for of the super budget or no budget type

hol up

700 islands

thats like 700 houses

[final flame]

haaa!

[balmy patio]

so how much storage does your son want?

[weak field]

would you cared if we helped you?

[final flame]

1TB

[weak field]

if you could tell us the budget and what games theres a mass of people that could give suggestions and help.

[balmy patio]

si

like kermit

good man he is

[weak field]

⏫

[final flame]

certainly! budget - around 1k-1500 with monitors etc. Need it for games but also school. And he wants the ability to add his own bits later if necessary.

[old trail]

In that case, I would recommend NZXT's Starter Pro from their Starter series.

[weak field]

usd?

[old trail]

It is around 1k dollars (maybe more because of your location) and will handle school and games fine.

[final flame]

yup

[weak field]

alright

[final flame]

nah - my location - i have to add taxes & duties, 1K is first price

[weak field]

that budget can get you very far in pc gaming if you place it right, just gotta know when the best time to buy is

[final flame]

exactly - I gotta get here before Christmas - running out of time

[little osprey]

hey guys im trying to build a powerful computer for 2d animation. Currently I'm using a Lenovo Legion y520 my parents got me for christmas but I am still experiencing crashes and definitely dont have much in the means of storage. Any suggestions? I'm looking at least 32gb of ram because i multitask while animating and definitely more processing power. Somewhere around an I9-9900k. I'm not sure what exactly i should build though, as articles I read suggest many different combinations of cases, cooling, power supplies, etc. Any insight would be great. If it's at all relevant, I animate on adobe animate 2019 but have very large animation files.

[old trail]

what budget?

[weak field]

hol up

[modern pagoda]

i can make one for u

[little osprey]

that's not relevant right now, just focused on what parts i should look for

[weak field]

2d animating

with a 9900k

[old trail]

lmao

[little osprey]

hey man im just crashing a lot right now and that's based off a couple articles i read

[balmy patio]

😳

[potent prairie]

Hmm. Tryna decide if I want to get a 3060 TI since it's in stock or wait for the 3070 for 1440p gaming

[weak field]

3060ti is still capable for 1440p

[little osprey]

i'd appreciate any insight you could give, that would be good to see.

[weak field]

even a rx580 for the 30-40fps range

[stoic island]

We can build one as in build you a list

[weak field]

hol up

[edgy wagon]

is the 5900x worth it over a 5600x for gaming? Looking at reviews I can see its better but not sure if its worth the price

[weak field]

who was first

[old trail]

bro the rtx 3060ti is out???? i just bought a 2060 for xmas thinking 3060 wont be out till march NOOOOO

[severe axle]

no not until tomorrow

[little osprey]

this doesnt exactly handle well on a gaming laptop man im not even jokin

[little osprey]

2d animations? You really don't need much.

i need more than a legion y520, at least.

i use the fill tool one time and my program either crashes or corrupts the file or takes 10 minutes to fill it in.

so yeah id like to upgrade

Ive lost dozens of hours of work and dont look forward to losing more

[stoic island]

So it's CPU bound?

[little osprey]

i'd assume so

[foggy hazel]

that sounds like a tool/program problem too

[stoic island]

Crashing is either instability, Windows being funky, or the program itself being funky

[little osprey]

my laptop has i7-7700

[foggy hazel]

that depends entirely on what you are doing.

[little osprey]

yeah

you see i like to do things excessively and methodically at times

so sure a stick figure walking doesnt make corrupt its file

but im not really doing that

[stoic island]

Anyways, if it's hardware bound, it might be worth looking into AMD's Zen 3 chips @little osprey

Like a 5900x

[little osprey]

i've been told a 2700 would be good but yeah a 5900 is more plausible

[foggy hazel]

@little osprey what tool are you using?

tool = program

[little osprey]

the bucket tool in adobe animate to fill in lines in a 1080p file

[foggy hazel]

at what dpi?

res alone is not telling me much :)

[stoic island]

By the way, I would not reccomend a R7 2700 at all at the moment, and Naed will help with the specifics of what you need.

[little osprey]

flash works with vectors i believe

er sorry adobe animate works with vectors

[foggy hazel]

okay, and yes, vectors dont care

hm

weird, it should not complain about something like that

how much ram do you have in that machine?

[little osprey]

16 GB DDR4 2400 MHz

[foggy hazel]

that should be plenty

oh well, might just be adobe being adobe

i am going to pass you back to @stoic island

[stoic island]

Alright

@little osprey So, when are you planning to be able to build it and how much are you willing to spend total?

And as a side note, do you do anything else on the machine?

[foggy hazel]

sorry for the side question @little osprey, it was just on the off chance that it was something that could be fixed easily to at least temporarily make things better for you :)

[little osprey]

nah its fine thank you for the assistance

greatly appreciated insight from others more experienced with pcs

[little osprey]

I'm not worried about my budget right now as it isnt urgent i build a pc but its something i would indeed like to work towards. I already have a bit of money set aside but not enough to make the transition from my laptop worthwhile.

[stoic island]

Alright, to start off, we can use what's currently available to get smth made then.

@little osprey by the way, anything else you will do on the machine?

[little osprey]

i play games sometimes. I might dip my toes in cyberpunk whenever that stops getting set back.

[stoic island]

Hm

@little osprey can you give me a rough, I guess preference on budget? Let's say 800$, 1000$, 1500$, or 2000$, as a ballpark?

[little osprey]

1500-2000 or just a little bit over I think.

even if i cant order all the parts right away id like to not have to upgrade for a while

[stoic island]

Fair

I'll get on with making a list

[little osprey]

many thanks

[foggy hazel]

a side question that is relevant, the animation work, that is your actual main use for the machine?

[summer gulch]

Can someone give me a good build for $1600?

[little osprey]

that is my main use, yes.

that and photoshop art

which is also pretty high resolution and intensive

[foggy hazel]

something for you to have a look at @little osprey

https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Adobe-Photoshop-AMD-Ryzen-5000-Series-CPU-performance-1956/

[little osprey]

the 5900x 12 core looks pretty good

[foggy hazel]

in general, have a poke/look around in their articles, they cover a bunch of production software

[little osprey]

if it runs photoshop well it probably can also handle animate

[blazing aurora]

i have to buy an aftermarket cooler for my cpu (i3-10100), will this work?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RWJGI6/ref=

[stoic island]

Alright, let's say this to start off, @little osprey this is made with the Intel alternative, since Ryzen chips are hard to get a hold of, and the GPU is placeholder depending on how much you want to game and such.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QFzfht

it's also fairly barebones, but it's fairly low cost relative to the budget, so you can keep slapping things on that.

[grim pagoda]

If you can’t fit your graphics card directly into your case it doesn’t mean it can’t fit right? 😂 😅

[stoic island]

I mean, there's moding the case XD

[grim pagoda]

No I mean I’m trying to fit my 5700xt into my case but it just doesn’t fit in

[little osprey]

is it wise to not use the stock cooler for the cpu?

[little osprey]

Not made for lga 1200

[gleaming quartz]

for ryzen 7 cpus, just use a different cooler if you can

[stoic island]

@little osprey 1200 is effectively the same mounting as 115x

As stated by Noctua

[little osprey]

Ah

[grim pagoda]

How reliable is partpicker for compatibility

[weak field]

reliable enuf

[stoic island]

It's worth a second look over

One of the things it never checks is Cooler ram clearance for example

but it does a decent job of automatically checking a good amount of things

[grim pagoda]

I have a RX 5700XT Gaming X and my case is a AreoCool area one Mini Eclipse, I haven’t properly tried to put it in the case yet I’m just nervous in case it doesn’t as it’s really big but I’m gonna continue building tomorrow as I’m really tired

[stoic island]

@grim pagoda Case supports up to 327mm, GPU is 297mm long

doesn't seem like an issue

[grim pagoda]

@stoic island ye but my case variant is micro atx maybe that’s why

[fleet pagoda]

Been on hold w someone at bestbuy for 20 mins i jus wanna know if it will be in stores

And not just online

[blazing aurora]

so am i good to go with that fan?

[stoic island]

I say a Gammaxx 400 still

[blazing aurora]

the thing is, i have a $15 promo credit from amazon bc my fan was missing from my package

is the fan i sent good for $15 @stoic island

[stoic island]

no

Gammaxx 400 is 20$

[blazing aurora]

oh ok

[idle compass]

best list with a 3060 ti

?

[blazing aurora]

gammax doesn't apply for the promo, is the thermaltake fan good in that case lol

[stoic island]

ick I wouldn't say so

looks iffy

it's your risk

[blazing aurora]

ok

[fleet pagoda]

Ridiculous on hold for that long

My boss wants a mobo ram and storage update

thoughts????

He has a crappy OEM

[fading kiln]

im still waiting on the CPU and PSU to arrive. I don't know if I could test them in my current build - mobo is an old intel based one

[olive kraken]

Also he's getting a new monitor so it is in

[fading kiln]

thx for asking tho, i'll let u know how it goes when i test it

[cloud oasis]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QxRKcT

If i were u i would not get msi mobo

Other than that its pretty pogU

[stoic island]

@little osprey got any other questions for clarification or anything?

[little osprey]

uh yeah are stock coolers not enough?

[cloud oasis]

Unless ur overclocking they are fine

[stoic island]

For anything above like a 10100 on Intel, not really.

[cloud oasis]

well to be fair they dont come with a cooler

[little osprey]

yeah if i were to get a ryzen or somethin

[stoic island]

And by the way, AMD doesn't come with a stock cooler for new gen of chip(other than 5600x), unlike last gen

[pearl blade]

kinda sheety if you say so

selling for more and don't come with coolers

[little osprey]

Well...amd has the advantage now

So it does make sense to price higher.

Like intel did

[foggy hazel]

@pearl blade they have the performance to back up their price so ..

[little osprey]

also sometimes stock coolers with newer gen cpus might not be the best option unlike aftermarket coolers

[severe axle]

if you are spending $400+ on cpu then you'd probably be putting a different cooler on it

[little osprey]

^

stock cooler on zen 3 cpu

hllo

hello*

why is this a dead chat

totally a dead chat

dead chat

What

Is this good?

not asking keli

wheres the storage

I already have storage

[modern pagoda]

what site is that on

[buoyant pilot]

any cheap af 360 rad?

[little osprey]

idk much about aios

Same

[modern pagoda]

its fine but a 1070 u can get for abt the same price rn

[little osprey]

^

[severe axle]

I'd spend more money on a better mobo instead of that case

then you can get one of those cougar cases with rgb fans

[little osprey]

yeah i was just about to comment on that mobo

@modern pagoda is it good?

@severe axle who

[modern pagoda]

yea

[severe axle]

if you're going for looks then I don't think that would work with those cables, which look like they are ketchup and mustard

[little osprey]

im not going for looks

that nzxt case and that ram were the only stuff avaliable

i mean you cant really go full mod or semi mod on a budget build

that wasnt like 500$ for no reason

[little osprey]

It's not the cables that is the issue...the issue is about that psu lol

[severe axle]

in that case add some fans

if it is for gaming

[modern pagoda]

its 49% faster

the 1070 i mean

[little osprey]

gtx 1070 is 150$

thats what you are gonna pay for that 580

[modern pagoda]

yea some places it is

also get a different mobo

that one is trash

try and find a b350 or b450

non m

[little osprey]

where u shopping for a 1070 for 150 bro

[still roost]

cent#9901 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[little osprey]

kek

finna cop b4 u do 👀

dead chat

brug

[modern pagoda]

no not dead chat

[little osprey]

:9

[modern pagoda]

did u take my advice

@chatrevival

[little osprey]

@severe axle yo is this good for 50$

[modern pagoda]

thats ok

[severe axle]

for $60 you can get one with full front mesh panel and 4 rgb fans

[modern pagoda]

the h510 was fine but u can buy a brand new case with more fans and stuff

ok cool

[little osprey]

wut?

[modern pagoda]

@little osprey u can also try and find a 1660, 1660 super, 1660 ti used for like 150

[little osprey]

whats wrong with rx 580

[modern pagoda]

its old and slow

and not worth it in the long run

[little osprey]

this for 80$ and its brand new

[little osprey]

580 can still run most games
Atleast 1080p low or med

[modern pagoda]

thats good

[little osprey]

no it runs them at ultra

[severe axle]

hmm that airflow

[little osprey]

But if he does have better options i would go for it.

[modern pagoda]

no not ultra

[modern pagoda]

hecks naw

[little osprey]

Ultra...
On a 580

A 2015/2016 game should be run on ultra

[modern pagoda]

[little osprey]

2020 AAA games...nah.

@little osprey whats an game that rx 580 cant run on?

Idk

[modern pagoda]

none but on ultra

[little osprey]

doom eternal?

Currently there is 0 games that a 580 won't run

rx 580 can run doom eternal at ultra

AT 1440P

at 70 fps

Lmao, you are joking right?

does it look like im ajoking man

no

[modern pagoda]

wtfff heck no

[little osprey]

yes it can run it at 1440p

I FOUND THIS FOR 90$

@severe axle Does this have the airflow?

[severe axle]

yes I wouldn't call that budget though

[little osprey]

its the same price as my nzxt one

but eh

[severe axle]

if its either nzxt one or that corsair one, corsair one anyday

[little osprey]

50 dollars

for 50 dollars

[severe axle]

thats not a bad one

[little osprey]

I've seen this case in alot of 500$ budget builds

I think its good, no?

[modern pagoda]

@little osprey an rx 580 cannot run doom at 75 pc CRITICS say 40 fps on 1440p ultra setting

plus that case is for a matx board

[little osprey]

I have asrock b450m pro4

[modern pagoda]

then ur fine

[little osprey]

Ok

its going in the cart

[modern pagoda]

pls don't buy that rx 580

buy a 1060 or an 1070 used

[little osprey]

oops

The rx 580 is 200$

now its an 510$ gaming pc setup

[modern pagoda]

well ok

where u buying this stuff from

[little osprey]

isn't gtx 1650 worse then rx 580

cant say

[severe axle]

rx580 is better

I still wouldn't get that rx580 though

[modern pagoda]

loook mane i can't help u unless u tell me i already have a pc

[little osprey]

marketplace

[modern pagoda]

u can private message me the link if u need me to

oh ok

well look for a 1070

[little osprey]

ok

[modern pagoda]

or a 1660

[little osprey]

should I buy an gtx 1650 for 125$

but it has a driver issue

[modern pagoda]

then don't buy it

1650 is pretty bad anyways

can u buy stuff of of ebay or offer up

[little osprey]

offerup isnt in canada

[modern pagoda]

well go to ebay

or smthn

[little osprey]

https://i.imgur.com/iSVBiZ8.png do i save my money for this

[little osprey]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184558441983

[violet harness]

doesn't seem expensive

[little osprey]

Found a 570 for 100$ cad

[modern pagoda]

@little osprey thats sum bull

[little osprey]

in canada you can buy 3 ps4s for the price of a ps5

[blazing aurora]

if i can't get an rx 580, is the 1650SUPER a good gpu at 100USD?

[little osprey]

[stoic island]

Yes

Very good

[blazing aurora]

oh nice

[little osprey]

can anybody find me a good alternative to the rx 580 in canadian prices?

[blazing aurora]

should i be patient and wait for the 580 or just nab the 100$ 1650S

[stoic island]

100$ 1650s is really good

[little osprey]

https://www.ebay.com/itm/184558441983 maybe this? Found out for 100$

hmm

[little osprey]

1650s is same perf as 580

You should totally get it.

is this good

[stoic island]

Nah

That's like MSRP

[blazing aurora]

thanks for the reassurance, i was scared i was missing out on the 580 lol

[stoic island]

1650s new used to be around the 200cad mark

[little osprey]

ok

I got a cheaper case thats also better

I just need a better gpu

and maybe cheaper ram

I belive 3200 mHz 2x8 GB is still $54 USD right now

non-rgb though

[little osprey]

@dim summit https://i.imgur.com/f5KJmud.png

[dim summit]

I know, thats only 8 GB isn't it?

[little osprey]

oh u got 16

[dim summit]

I honestly prefer paying $10 more for double the capacity and faster speeds, but I guess RGB is cool tho

makes up for less raw performance with aesthetics performance

[little osprey]

those prices are in canadian

lul

[dim summit]

ohh omegalul

[foggy hazel]

if you actually believe that @dim summit, then i foresee a LOT of sand buying in your future

[dim summit]

I was joking lol

I personally prioritize functionality over looks

idc if my build looks like Madea's right butt cheek, if it plays good, then its for me 🙂

well in that case in CAD thats a good deal ngl

[little osprey]

is amd ryzen 3 3200g, 8g of ram and rx 580 good to go?

[dim summit]

16 is preferred and needed in most cases, but 8 GB will get you started, albeit with more varied frametimes

[stoic island]

2 sticks

at least

[little osprey]

look at this

[dim summit]

oh yeah dual channel fs

[stoic island]

2x4gb over 1x8gb

[stoic island]

fun

[dim summit]

its all used?

respect

[modern pagoda]

2x8gb for 75

[little osprey]

16gb of ram, amd ryzen 3200g and rx 580 for 440$

[stoic island]

2x8gb for 75$ is crap btw

[dim summit]

its CAD tho

[modern pagoda]

exactly

[little osprey]

Canadian prices be like that

[modern pagoda]

oh yea

[dim summit]

not USD

[modern pagoda]

nvm

thats fine its rgb

[little osprey]

when its lower then 500$ budget you have to get used parts

but its still very good

[stoic island]

dunno man

they're like 75cad new

[dim summit]

the cheapest 2x8 GB set of Ram on the canadian PC part picker is $73.99 CAD, and its 3000 MHz CL16

[little osprey]

^^

[dim summit]

its Geil EVO potenza tho so idk if its reliable or not

[modern pagoda]

but is it rgb?

[little osprey]

this or rx 580 for $150

[sudden matrix]

anyone got any PSU recommendations? I'm looking for 750W, 80+ Gold and fully modular
i was originally going to get the Bitfenix Whisper but stock just ran out

[stoic island]

What country

[sudden matrix]

Australia

[stoic island]

lets see

Antec HCG maybe

https://www.umart.com.au/Antec-650w-High-Current-Gamer-80-Gold-Modular-Power-Supply-HCG650_53351G.html

[sudden matrix]

im guessing they have a 750W version yea?

[dim summit]

go for the rx 580, its more power hungry but they're about the same in perf

if its the 8 GB version

[stoic island]

just cheapest 650w good PSU I can see

[weak field]

[dim summit]

"High Current Gamer"

[stoic island]

I go off my list lel
https://au.pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/ry3RvK

[stoic island]

easiest way to tell good PSUs in any region at a glance

uhhh

[tired hamlet]

Is this Great to Play Atlas and Streaming ??

[stoic island]

700$ is too much for that

[sudden matrix]

is this antec one the same?

[dim summit]

it is a 3700x tho

[stoic island]

yea

Yes

even 3700x

new that would've costed less

like one sec

[tired hamlet]

So should I say $650 ?

[stoic island]

600$ if you can

ask for 600$, low 600s works

700$ too much imo

[little osprey]

my ram is white :l I need black ram of 16gb for 75$ or less canadian

[tired hamlet]

So how will it run to FB Stream ??

[stoic island]

hm

streaming maybe not be great

might want Nvidia GPU

[little osprey]

how good is a 500$ pc with new parts

[stoic island]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[weak field]

🤔

[little osprey]

Facebook has no ram 😿

[thorny tusk]

depends

[dim summit]

I can only imagine having money :/ https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rtnprr

[languid nimbus]

There’s someone selling ripjaw 3600mhz 16gb around here for $60

[thorny tusk]

to much on the case

[dim summit]

yeah ik its looks tho

[modern pagoda]

@little osprey https://www.amazon.ca/s?k=rgb+ram&rh=n%3A677244011%2Cp_36%3A-7500%2Cp_n_feature_five_browse-bin%3A7328155011&dc&qid=1606870756&rnid=7328153011&ref=sr_nr_p_n_feature_five_browse-bin_2

[dim summit]

and theoretical

[modern pagoda]

saved u 5 bucks

[languid nimbus]

Guess that’s pretty typical price tho

[dim summit]

5 whole CAD

[thorny tusk]

also cpu bottel neck

[dim summit]

3700x bottlenecks a 3080??

[thorny tusk]

most likly

[dim summit]

damn hol on

[stoic island]

uhhh

Don't do a400

[thorny tusk]

kind depnds on a game

[modern pagoda]

@dim summit no it doesn't

[stoic island]

O11 overpriced

bottlenecking is arbituary

I'd get a 5600x tho

performs better

[dim summit]

ik its literally theoretical im not actually gonna get it

[modern pagoda]

but a b450 for a 3080 is kinda sus

[stoic island]

5600x with 3080 performs better than 3700x in most games

that like 20% ipc gain is great

[thorny tusk]

seems like you need a more balnced meme

[modern pagoda]

ur not actually getting a pc

[dim summit]

honestly i just used a 3700x cuz there's no 5600x on pc part picker lul

I am, just not this one

[modern pagoda]

[thorny tusk]

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0842SCK5T?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 now this is a meme

[dim summit]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Jacobuilds/saved/#view=XHrBjX this is gonna be my actual build after Christmas, most of it is just being moved from my old build, like the psu, gpu, ssd, and cooler, but the rest like the cpu, mobo, ram, case, and drive are new

[stoic island]

[modern pagoda]

rx 560

bruhh

[dim summit]

$55 dont judge

[modern pagoda]

[thorny tusk]

bugget build

[dim summit]

got it on ebay as a placeholder

[modern pagoda]

aight

[stoic island]

cs900 also dramless

1500msrp

[dim summit]

also cheap

I just need it for booting tbh

[jagged ember]

That there is your problem

[stoic island]

that's the problem lmao

[jagged ember]

The drive will slow down as you use it

[stoic island]

I mean dramless drives might be fine as storage drives

[dim summit]

it does fine with booting, like a 20-25 second boot time but im on sata rev2

[stoic island]

the issue is when you actually use it

[jagged ember]

Filling it up slows it down

[modern pagoda]

yup

[jagged ember]

More slow the more data is on it

[dim summit]

wym I've been using it for the past 4 months and its been completely fine

[stoic island]

dunno man

[modern pagoda]

aight

[stoic island]

you gotta compare it with an actually good drive

[dim summit]

it was like $25 new im not complaining lmao

[jagged ember]

Using a 5400rpm drive is fine too...

[stoic island]

dunno man

[jagged ember]

Until you get an ssd

[stoic island]

it might be as fast as your hdd sooner or later

[weak field]

um

[modern pagoda]

why don't u go amd

[jagged ember]

Kermit, no

[modern pagoda]

it might be cheaper

[dim summit]

cuz 3300x basically doesn't exist

[stoic island]

haven't done CDM on the dramless drive I had yet

[jagged ember]

In this economy?

[stoic island]

but it's slow as hell

[lusty wedge]

Guys I made my first build and it has a r5 2600 and a 1660 super. it's very nice. I'm happy with it 😄

[modern pagoda]

u live in the us

[jagged ember]

Intel is basically the budget option lol

[stoic island]

:)

10100 good for now

until 3100/3300x come back in stock, or low end zen 3 options

[dim summit]

the 10100 was $99 so pretty good deal imo

[jagged ember]

See?

[modern pagoda]

good

[jagged ember]

How turn tables lmao

[stoic island]

[dim summit]

I had timespy and I was getting 25-40 fps in my current build LOL

overclocked balls to the wall

[modern pagoda]

thats a good pc

i got same thing just i have 3700x

and 3070

[dim summit]

I got that RX 560--

2 GB :/

good for youtube and BO2

[jagged ember]

Mostly the former

[hazy rune]

Has anyone used skype with a high res (2k or 4k) monitor?

Does it work ok?

[dim summit]

u mean does anyone use skype?

I completely forgot about it until now

[hazy rune]

No, I have to use it for work.

[jagged ember]

It'll blow up your monitor, like that skywalker dude

[dim summit]

ahh sorry

[jagged ember]

it's actually fine lmao

Skype will resize itself accordingly

[hazy rune]

Screen sharing works good?

It's a mess with my ultrawide

[jagged ember]

Yep

Aspect ratio is

Some other issue

[hazy rune]

Ok. So I should be good with replacing my 1080p with a 1440p

[jagged ember]

If you have 21:9 unlike most people

It's gonna be a bit weird

[hazy rune]

I just got a dead pixel today 😦

[dim summit]

I wonder if there's a way to only share a certain aspect ratio within a monitor

[jagged ember]

This, tbh

Probably in Nvidia ctrl panel

[dim summit]

like only sharing 16:9 within a 21:9

[obsidian wigeon]

oof

[hazy rune]

Yea idk. The problem is I also use a remote desktop

[obsidian wigeon]

ded pixel

[hazy rune]

It gets complicated

[dim summit]

ay quick question, how do we put our specs in our name?

ik this isn't related whatsoever but

[hazy rune]

Click the arrow at the top right next to Newegg

Top left*

[jagged ember]

Nickname

[severe axle]

or /nick (name)

[dim summit]

ayy there we go

now I can flex my potato specs lol

[foggy hazel]

that depends on the streaming software

[hazy rune]

Skype is the lowest tier of streaming software

So the answer for that is no 😛

[foggy hazel]

you can generally define whatever as the boundary for that

[dim summit]

zoom has better security features now, why not use that?

[hazy rune]

Because my work uses skype

Shrugs

[little osprey]

I changed the power supply

See

[little osprey]

Together

[dim summit]

[little osprey]

@agile folio 750w will do

[agile folio]

[little osprey]

I'd reccomend fully modular

@agile folio yes

[obsidian wigeon]

depends on which one lol

[agile folio]

650 fully modular is what i plan corsair

[stoic island]

550w will do

[obsidian wigeon]

[balmy patio]

[obsidian wigeon]

i mean, they can claim it to be 500w

[little osprey]

@obsidian wigeon your not wrong

[obsidian wigeon]

optiplex sounds good for such low budget

just sell it later once you wanna get to smth better

just make sure it has at least 2nd gen i5

lmao, amazon reviews

[balmy patio]

stop spamming

[next kestrel]

any mods around to ban him

[obsidian wigeon]

3200g is actually not a lot faster than i5 2400

[next kestrel]

or kick

[balmy patio]

lemme see if i can find a used optiplex for like 200 bucks and a 1650

[next kestrel]

some people spam

for levels

so that they can spam links

[obsidian wigeon]

seriously tho, imagine relying on amazon reviews

[next kestrel]

and images

why spam?

[obsidian wigeon]

i didn't bully?

[little osprey]

its joke

[obsidian wigeon]

30 bucks for 500w is still so low

[little osprey]

why do i need dell optiplex, whats wrong with 300 dollar system

this 300 dollar system can run doom eternal at ultra nightmare at 1440p at 70 fps

[balmy patio]

good point

[little osprey]

@little osprey i watched a yt video

[vital warren]

agent for 1400-1500 cad u can do better

[little osprey]

somebody used rx 580 in doom external at ultra nightmare at 1440p and got 70 fps

[vital warren]

heres a rough example

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HtYdxc

[balmy patio]

bruh the cost of the 1440p monitor is gonna be the cost of your whole system

[little osprey]

[balmy patio]

dont think about 1440p at that low of a budget

[little osprey]

I think this 320$ system is better than ps5

[balmy patio]

unless you're rich and willing to go balls to the walls

[obsidian wigeon]

the 300 dollar system you put together has a bomb

also lol no

ps5 is faster

just go optiplex for the love of god

[balmy patio]

bUt bUt paY fOr oNliNe eWWwwW

[obsidian wigeon]

and get rid of it once you wanna upgrade

[little osprey]

optiplex is bad this system can run games at 60fps ultra

[obsidian wigeon]

wut

optiplex will let you do the same with 300

you can upgrade psu if you want

[little osprey]

I found 400 watt power supply for 10$

ima add that to my cart

[obsidian wigeon]

bruh

[stoic island]

lol

it's gonna blow up on you

[obsidian wigeon]

does it even have 8 pin connector?

580 won't turn on

[little osprey]

@stoic island idk its used but it looks good

[stoic island]

lmao

check PSU tier list

[obsidian wigeon]

you won't be able to use it

[vital warren]

https://tenor.com/view/explosion-boom-explode-gif-17383346

[obsidian wigeon]

580 is hungry

[stoic island]

if it's not on there, that's one red flag

if it's in tier E, that's a huge red flag

[obsidian wigeon]

and I'm sure that 10 buck psu is not enough for 580

at all

[balmy patio]

it was prob used for mining or sum constant operation load if it's that low

[little osprey]

this is canadian exclusive psu

[obsidian wigeon]

still a bomb

so what

why you gotta hate on optiplex lmao

[little osprey]

its ugly

[obsidian wigeon]

it makes sense on such low budget

ugly but it won't blow up on you

optiplexes literally usually has fsp or delta 80+ gold units

those are rock solid

[little osprey]

if i build my pc it'll look like this

and it has rbg ram

@obsidian wigeon wait my old psu I had was fsp but i deleted it because it was a little bit expensive

[still roost]

Hxlved#8187 has been warned

Because it's stupid expensive

[obsidian wigeon]

[hazy rune]

Why would I pay $40 more for rgb ram

[balmy patio]

bruh jus buy sum rgb strips

[vital warren]

rgb ram ain't that much more expensive

[hazy rune]

Those also cost $40 lol

Crucial Ballistix was $90 for 32gb

[little osprey]

@vital warren yea its only 4 more dollars then non rgb ram

[hazy rune]

Trident Z RGB is $130 for the same set

Do you have another machine around?

[little osprey]

also canada, I just say usd because most people here are american

it can be 550 max cad

doesn't have to be high end with the cpu or gpu

[obsidian wigeon]

bruh, you didn't state that

But I gave up

[stoic star]

550CAD so $425

Amazon warehouse had a 20% off promo on used stuff

Dunno if they still do

[obsidian wigeon]

I don't like the idea of used PSUs

haswell optiplex with a 1650

mouse: Logitech Prodigy G206
keeb: (membrane) Logitech K120 // (mechanical) Kumara K552

You have to comprise when you only have 400usd

😛

[obsidian wigeon]

optiplex is the way

that's the compromise i would make

[stoic star]

bit of a shitpost, christmas lights = cheapest RGB ever

[hazy rune]

That's actually a good idea

[stoic star]

I know it is, I have 7 of em

Old dell workstations work too

Just add a gpu (assuming psu can take it)

[obsidian wigeon]

They're still speedy enough

[stoic star]

I have a workstation, the aliexpress Xeon + X99 mobo + RAM bundles are tempting af

[obsidian wigeon]

And ye they should take at least 1650 ok
