building-and-recc-chat

[sand kraken]

framerate is my want, not resolution

resolution is an afterthought

2k is fine

but

no kill like overkill

[balmy patio]

bruh then get your self a 3070

[tender fjord]

You're gonna buy a 3090 for a 2k monitor

You can't be serious

[balmy patio]

a 3070 is a 1440p baller

[sand kraken]

its alreadcy been ordered

[tender fjord]

Omg dude

[sand kraken]

odered the 24th

ordered*

[balmy patio]

bruh niiice one

[tender fjord]

You could've went to another country with the money you could've saved

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/972bwz
no idea where to put this but what do you think?

[sand kraken]

im an american, like any country would take me

[tender fjord]

I don't understand people

You're getting a 2tb hdd

[sand kraken]

dude i dont even want myself why would another country want me lol

[tender fjord]

And a 500gb ssd

[balmy patio]

@little osprey could use some revisions

[sand kraken]

using the ssd to just boot?

[balmy patio]

and 500gb + 2tb hdd is nice wym

[tender fjord]

Why do people get hdd

[balmy patio]

to cheaply expand storage?

[tender fjord]

This isn't 2010

[little osprey]

its super cheap storage

[sand kraken]

becasue theyre pretty reliable and not everyone is obsessed with speed, cheap too

[tender fjord]

He or she is spending 1.6k

[sand kraken]

im only gettinbg a 1tb hd

ssd

8tb hd

hard drive for video files and ssd for games and stuff

[little osprey]

i think i saw a 4tb for like 68.99

yea

[next kestrel]

nothings wrong with hard drives

[tender fjord]

4tb which will take 20minutes to boot up the computer

[gleaming quartz]

true

[tender fjord]

And then take another 5minutes to open up chrome

[next kestrel]

it just shouldnt be the only drive in your system

[little osprey]

you can use an ssd to boot

[sand kraken]

its literally 2 minutes compared to like 30 seconds yeah?

[next kestrel]

install smaller applications on the ssd

including game launchers

[gleaming quartz]

the OS should be your ssd and other things should be your hdd

[little osprey]

yea

[next kestrel]

hdds are kinda a pain when you're searching your entire system for a file

[tender fjord]

Get a 1tb ssd

[little osprey]

no

i dont want to

[sand kraken]

idk why i laughed at that response

[next kestrel]

like when im looking for a program i havent used in a WHILE

[tender fjord]

Get a 999gb ssd

[next kestrel]

it takes a while

[little osprey]

YEA GOOD IDEA

[next kestrel]

1tb ssds are good

i have one

[sand kraken]

he just wants the ssd to boot and have a few programs on

[next kestrel]

but i also have a 2tb hdd

[sand kraken]

nothing wrong with that

[little osprey]

yea

and i have another nvme slot on my motherboard

so i could upgrade

[sand kraken]

upgradablility

[little osprey]

yea

[sand kraken]

youll be fine

[little osprey]

ok ill do that

[balmy patio]

@little osprey so what do you want with the system

your budget and your goals to meet

[tender fjord]

His budget is 1.7k

[balmy patio]

big budget

[tender fjord]

Can I swear in this server

I need to swear to make some of my jokes

[balmy patio]

no

[sand kraken]

cannot say the f word

[balmy patio]

mods will cry and warn

[fleet pagoda]

Man...

[tender fjord]

Only the f word

[sand kraken]

my 3 warnings attest to that

[tender fjord]

Alright

[still roost]

BottleCapJim#4514 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tender fjord]

You said f word

[sand kraken]

thats the one i got warned for

idk what the list is

[little osprey]

mostly gaming and some video editing

[tender fjord]

Get 8 cored

Cores

He said video editing

[balmy patio]

i mean

a 5600x is still pretty good

[tender fjord]

It has 6 cores

[little osprey]

but its still good

[tender fjord]

I'm playing a game

Ok now I'm gonna edit some videos

Starts editing video

Oh no my computer blew up

Now I'm dead

[little osprey]

WHO EDITS A VIDEO WHILE GAMING

[tender fjord]

My neighbor's don't care about the explosion

[balmy patio]

bruh when you say, but it has 6 cores, is like saying a car with less horsepower is slower than another car with a higher output

[tender fjord]

My body decomposes

[balmy patio]

the horsepower doesn't matter

the architecture, the way it works, the way it handles, is what also matters

[rough escarp]

Should I upgrade gpu first or cpu first

[sand kraken]

depends on which you have

[tender fjord]

Depends

[little osprey]

depends on what you have

[balmy patio]

lmao

[tender fjord]

What are you doing

[balmy patio]

depends on what you've got

[sand kraken]

triple told

[rough escarp]

I have a 3 3100 and a 1650 super

[tender fjord]

He's a real gamer

[little osprey]

oh

[tender fjord]

Bro

[little osprey]

i think cpu first

[sand kraken]

i would say cpu first?

[tender fjord]

Upgrade the cpu

[little osprey]

yea

[rough escarp]

Ok I was thinking the 5 3600

[balmy patio]

actually

[tender fjord]

Get the 5 5600x

[balmy patio]

no you can upgrade the gpu to a 1660s or a 2060 or a 5600x

[little osprey]

2 much for the cpu

[next kestrel]

what

no it isnt

[little osprey]

i have autism

[next kestrel]

if you want fps, upgrade your gpu

[balmy patio]

it isnt

[little osprey]

im gonna go now

cya

[next kestrel]

3100 is fine until around 2070 super

[tender fjord]

Meep read my name

[rough escarp]

How much is the 5 3600x regularly

[tender fjord]

How does it make you feel

800

[balmy patio]

about 230 iirc

[rough escarp]

Ok

[tender fjord]

900

It's now 1000

Wdym it's 230

It's 250

[rough escarp]

How is it better then the 5 3600

[tender fjord]

Because

The number 3600 is lower than the number 5600

Its core clock speed is faster

[next kestrel]

cool beans

[rough escarp]

Ok

When will prices drop back down

[tender fjord]

That question

Has no answer

[rough escarp]

Ok

[balmy patio]

lmao

[little osprey]

3060 ti btw

Woops

Photo showed my state

[sand kraken]

i didnt realize the logitech streamcam was usb c only

i dont have any usb c ports on my computer

[rough escarp]

Will a 500w be enough for a 2060 and a 5 3600x

[little osprey]

More like 5600x

[balmy patio]

would rather have a 600w psu

[rough escarp]

How about a 1660 super

[sly minnow]

Uo

[vestal wraith]

@sly minnow wat is ur budget

[sly minnow]

$3000

[vestal wraith]

k hol up

[sly minnow]

k hol up
@vestal wraith what do u have

[warm axle]

can u guys rate my build?

[amber hamlet]

i want cpu and gpu for an 800 dollari doos build

pls help

[balmy patio]

ok

[vestal wraith]

@sly minnow i have a core i7-9700k, 500gb ssd, 1tb hdd, and waitin on 3060 ti

and 32gb ram

[sly minnow]

Ahh good

[atomic oasis]

that is similar to what I have Prof.

[sly minnow]

I want to build with a water cooler

[atomic oasis]

waiting for the card now

[sly minnow]

Not custom

[vestal wraith]

like a loop or an aio

[sly minnow]

Just processor

[vestal wraith]

cool

literally

[atomic oasis]

i use an AIO...

[sly minnow]

Aru sure i can build it with$3000

🤧🤧🤧🤧

[vestal wraith]

a loop for under 3000 and a system right?

[atomic oasis]

Prof. which MB did you go with?? I got a MSI tomahawk z390

[sly minnow]

Yeah

[vestal wraith]

@atomic oasis i went with a z390-a pro

[atomic oasis]

msi?

[sand kraken]

im so pissed

usb garbage

[vestal wraith]

@sly minnow do u want the ram water cooled or just the cpu

[sly minnow]

@atomic oasis i going to build with a ryzen pro

Just cpu

[vestal wraith]

k

rgb y/n?

[tender fjord]

Do I need a power supply

[vestal wraith]

i think lol

[sly minnow]

Yeah

[atomic oasis]

ahhhh nice... been faithful to intel... the last one that still works great, 2600k till I went to a 9700k with newer stuff

[tender fjord]

Like what would happen if I have a 300w power supply and my computer needs 400w

[vestal wraith]

soft or hard tubing @sly minnow

[sly minnow]

What

[vestal wraith]

for the loop

[sly minnow]

I don't know abut much

[tender fjord]

A for loop right

[vestal wraith]

soft is easy to work with and hard is more durable, but harder to work with

[sly minnow]

Ahhh

Can u made a list

[vestal wraith]

bc with soft tubing u can just holfd it up to the port and cut it

i did make a list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rjGbwz

[sly minnow]

Ok

Thanks

[vestal wraith]

ill add the cost of the watercooling parts in a sec, so wat tubing, soft or rigid

[sly minnow]

Ok i will do it

[vestal wraith]

im still making the list for the watercooling stuff, soft or hard tubing

[sly minnow]

Thnks i can't order now cause shipping stopped to our country

Soft

[vestal wraith]

thats aight

what color of coolant do u want

[sly minnow]

And i want a 1tb ssd

[vestal wraith]

ok

[sly minnow]

Anything

[vestal wraith]

aight

[atomic oasis]

i like AIO... and using a monitor system to keep an eye on temps...

[sly minnow]

Yeah thats cool

[little osprey]

where can i buy rbg

guys does anybody want to see my 320$ build

[vestal wraith]

@sly minnow do u want a distro plate, a pump/res combo that takes the space of fans, or a pump/res that mounts anywhere

[little osprey]

If you know what you are doing custom loops are fine

ask me for my build guy

[sly minnow]

Ok

[vestal wraith]

just a standard pump/res?

[little osprey]

my build amazing guy

[sly minnow]

Standard

[vestal wraith]

k

https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/shared/oW5fc7c5a6c1ad0 here is the list of water cooling stuff

[little osprey]

i make good build guy

[sly minnow]

Thanks

[vestal wraith]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PdGbwz

and the list again, but with the full(ish) pricing

[little osprey]

guy look at build guy

[sly minnow]

Can u name a good monitor

[vestal wraith]

the 3090 is unavailable rn so add that price to the price listed at the bottom of the page

i sure can

[little osprey]

why ignore guy

Only 3000 speed memory?

[sly minnow]

Crucial or wd

[vestal wraith]

are u looking for high fps or high res @sly minnow ?

[little osprey]

@little osprey guy

[vestal wraith]

ye its a crucial ssd

[little osprey]

what

guy

[vestal wraith]

do u want a wd hdd

[little osprey]

i have 300 dolares pc

[sly minnow]

I like wd

[little osprey]

You have a 300 dollar budget?

want see to

[vestal wraith]

k, do u want a hard rive?

[little osprey]

no

i show 300 dollare pc i mad

[sly minnow]

No a wd ssd

[little osprey]

Space heater

[vestal wraith]

k

[sly minnow]

What is the difference between the new one

[little osprey]

why is this chat so dumb

[sly minnow]

Gen 4o smthing

[vestal wraith]

the wd blue and wd sn750?

[little osprey]

Change ram and case case is Soo bad

[vestal wraith]

ay bro im tryyina keep this affordable

[modern pagoda]

get better ram and better mobo get x570 tuf-pro not plus

[sly minnow]

Ahh

[little osprey]

Affordable you have a 3090

[sly minnow]

I can spend more 700if want

[vestal wraith]

the wd blue uses pci-e gen 3 and the sn750 uses gen 4

i think

[sly minnow]

Ahh

[modern pagoda]

if the type c port on the H510 can be used on the pro not the plus

[sly minnow]

Amd or Nvidia 🥺

[vestal wraith]

nvidia

[modern pagoda]

nvidia is better for ray tracing if u like that

but amd if u only play AAA games

[vestal wraith]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B2zhK3 hows this

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGddxc

[sly minnow]

Okkk

[little osprey]

Worse

[modern pagoda]

worse

[little osprey]

Better

[vestal wraith]

not by much

[little osprey]

What do you mean it’s better by a lot

[vestal wraith]

a budget may be 3000 but save where u can, its less in taxes and such

[little osprey]

My list is so much better https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGddxc

[sly minnow]

What is the site u recommend

Newegg

[modern pagoda]

yea use his

[vestal wraith]

newegg

sometimes amazon

[sly minnow]

Is good

[modern pagoda]

yes

[sly minnow]

In our country $1000=$2000🥺😂😝

[little osprey]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGddxc

[vestal wraith]

stop spamming that bro

[little osprey]

Well

Personally I wouldn’t buy that cpu

[sly minnow]

If we gonna buy a $3000pc in here we have to spend$5000

Thats expensive

Thats why i like newegg

Srilanka

[vestal wraith]

so really the pc should cost me(if i were to buy it) around 1500

right?

[severe axle]

no, $3000

[modern pagoda]

get this ram instead: https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-Trident-PC4-28800-CL18-22-22-42-F4-3600C18D-32GTZR/dp/B08176KLZT/ref=sr_1_5?crid=SZZVIXZY9TUR&dchild=1&keywords=rgb+32gb+ddr4+3600&qid=1606928466&s=electronics&sprefix=rgb+32%2Celectronics%2C223&sr=1-5\

[severe axle]

gpu is not in stock

[vestal wraith]

oh i read that wrong

[little osprey]

oops

[modern pagoda]

it rgb

it cool

[vestal wraith]

rgb give 5% speed bost, per led

lol

[noble night]

what mobo do i need for ryzen 9 3900x

[sly minnow]

Do u guys like consoles

[vestal wraith]

b550, x570, thats all i know

they are nice

[severe axle]

x570 for ryzen 9

[sly minnow]

Ps5or xbox

[severe axle]

while you might be able to run it on b550, x570 is more high end

[little osprey]

^^

[noble night]

but like will any x570 do? or do i need a high end 500$ one

[little osprey]

no

[vestal wraith]

xbox is more practical, ps5 is for extreme(ish) concole gaming

[little osprey]

200$ - 300$

[severe axle]

somewhere around $200

[sly minnow]

Yeah i like it too

[noble night]

i was looking at aorus x570 elite

[sly minnow]

U know im the Mr.beast

👽

[noble night]

WOW THE MISTER BEAST!!?!?!?!?!?

[sly minnow]

👽

[severe axle]

wrong chat for that, but ps5 if you want better exclusives and still the ability for 8k 60

[noble night]

8k lmao

[sly minnow]

Mrbeast

[noble night]

idk anyone who has 8k monitor or tv

[little osprey]

Didn't know ps5s had 3090s

[formal cosmos]

When do you guys think the 3060ti will be back in stock??

[noble night]

thats not even a thing

[sly minnow]

In a month

Why tf is your pfp a furry

[formal cosmos]

Yes

[sly minnow]

Join forrrr mr.beast giveaway

[formal cosmos]

They sold out in 2 seconds

[severe axle]

bro it literally says on the box, again this is the wrong chat

[noble night]

furry pic cuz i lost a bet and i need it until 2021

but i can change my username

[formal cosmos]

Oof

I was gonna flame you @noble night

The 3060ti sold out so fast

[noble night]

ive been through alot of crap with this pic

[little osprey]

@noble night i can respecc you

[sly minnow]

Bye guys

[formal cosmos]

No

[sly minnow]

👋

[formal cosmos]

Furry are stupid

[noble night]

wait how much is 3060

[formal cosmos]

My b

[formal cosmos]

3060ti*

$400

[severe axle]

$400 @noble night

[noble night]

if the only one is TI i think it should be ok to shorten it to 3060

[formal cosmos]

Supposedly there’s gonna be a 3050ti

[vestal wraith]

ooooooof

[formal cosmos]

It is only 3060ti

What?

[noble night]

is 3060ti better than 2070?

[formal cosmos]

Yes

[vestal wraith]

its ever-so-slightly better than a 2080 super

[formal cosmos]

It’s almost better than a 2080 super

[noble night]

should i get 3060ti or 3070

[formal cosmos]

It shouldn’t

[vestal wraith]

it depends, how much can u spend

[noble night]

money isnt rlly an issue its just whats worth paying for

[vestal wraith]

3070 then

[formal cosmos]

If a 3060ti is slightly better than a 2080s a 3050ti should be as good as a 2070 or better who knows

[formal cosmos]

3060ti to save some money 3070 if you have the money

[vestal wraith]

yea

[noble night]

ok

3090 is a waste of money to me

[obsidian wigeon]

3090 is overkill tho

barely gains any perf from 3080

[formal cosmos]

NOOO

[obsidian wigeon]

yeah

[formal cosmos]

WHY A FOX PFP

[obsidian wigeon]

?

[formal cosmos]

That’s cringe

[obsidian wigeon]

lmao

ik

but still

you don't need it at all when 3080 is better buy

[noble night]

i didnt even know there was 8k monitors

[obsidian wigeon]

^

[noble night]

i thought 8k was just like "look at this insane gpu that can do insane stuff" not like youre actually gonna do 8k

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-65-class-q800t-series-led-8k-uhd-smart-tizen-tv/6401972.p?skuId=6401972 they do in fact exist

[noble night]

i saw one that was 90" for 100k CAD

and sony i think made a 16k one that was like 30 feet for 5 million

[obsidian wigeon]

wait 10 years and they'll drop in price

[noble night]

like 70k usd

[still roost]

F*ck it, trans time#1223 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[noble night]

oof

today i slept in and missed my first online class

[fleet pagoda]

Anyone know when the gigabyte cards will drop

[tender fjord]

you had your first online class

in december

that's some next level stuff

[fleet pagoda]

I havent had any online classes

[tender fjord]

that makes no sense

[glossy bay]

Maybe he meant he missed an online class for the first time

Not it was the first class and he literally missed it

Or the first class of the day

[versed rock]

I think i've finally found my ideal build for my next set of parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6TfndD

Yes, there is a reason why I have 32GB of RAM

[still roost]

Skiptrace#4386 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[severe axle]

also need to add fans

[versed rock]

I have fans.

I have a P400A right now.

[magic rivet]

Is the RTX 3060 TI whort to buy?

[versed rock]

It's a great cheap 1440p card.

And, the G7 has G-Sync Compatibility, so I can use G-Sync for games that don't hit 240 FPS

[severe axle]

you have 8 120mm fans?

[tender fjord]

don't the 3060 ti istg

[versed rock]

You don't need 8 fans.

[tender fjord]

istg

[severe axle]

well you wouldn't be using all the fan mounts

[versed rock]

You don't need to.

[tender fjord]

get a 3070

[severe axle]

less intake for you then

[tender fjord]

it's only 100 bucks more

[versed rock]

Don't need more intake.

[tender fjord]

and gives you like 40 fps more

[versed rock]

It isn't 40 FPS

It's more like 10 FPS

At best

[tender fjord]

it's 30

[versed rock]

No, it isn't...

[tender fjord]

20 minimum

have you seen a video on comparisons

[versed rock]

Yes, and it's at best 10 FPS gap

[tender fjord]

bro

I will link you a video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPye9dld1RA&t=3s&ab_channel=MarkPC

[narrow rose]

its usually about 10-15 fps in most games in most resolutions

[tender fjord]

watch

and then tell me

[versed rock]

Dude, that guy likely has no clue how to benchmakr.

I've literally NEVER heard of that channel before.

[tender fjord]

never have I

but does that matter

no

[narrow rose]

when you are over 300fps it really doesnt matter....

[versed rock]

Yes, it does.

[severe axle]

this is about not using all fan mounts

[versed rock]

No it isn't

Using all of your fan mounts is actually BAD

[tender fjord]

yeah but we're talking about 1440[

[versed rock]

Because More Fans does NOT equal more better.

[tender fjord]

1440p*

[narrow rose]

like in battlefield V seeing 10fps increase at all resolutions

[viral ore]

"bad" or ineffective?

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhlz9

Bad, as in a detriment to the system.

Most cases want an imbalance of pressure

[viral ore]

depends on how your fans are laid out

[versed rock]

Whether it be Negative, or Positive.

[tender fjord]

one game

[versed rock]

NZXT cases prefer Negative Pressure, and are ideally configured in a 2 Exhaust No Intake format.

https://prnt.sc/vuhmti

[tender fjord]

rx 6800 has 16gb

wth

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhn1z Not that this chart really matters. Any potato can play CS:GO at 100 FPS or more.

[narrow rose]

thats a good number imo the 16gb vram

[tender fjord]

24fps

[narrow rose]

hope thats what the 3080ti if it happens has

[versed rock]

Yeah, but at an excess of 400 FPS, you are never going to physically see the difference between 458 FPS and 482 FPS

https://prnt.sc/vuhnic

[tender fjord]

11fps

[versed rock]

The 3070 just isn't worth the 100 dollar price gap

[tender fjord]

20 fps

[narrow rose]

it usually scales so the more frames in the game the wider the gap

[versed rock]

You get the same VRAM, and comparable performance if you are willing to tier down your graphics settings a little bit.

[tender fjord]

I'm confused

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhowj

[tender fjord]

linus made it clear that the 6800 is worse than the 3070

so how is it performing so much better

[versed rock]

It isn't though.

He literally never said that.

He said it was BETTER than the 3070.

[narrow rose]

also make sure you are paying attention to average frames not just max

[tender fjord]

wait then should I get the 3070 or the 6800

[versed rock]

The highest point on the HWC charts is Average FPS

[viral ore]

6800 do be 80 dollars more, so the 3070 would be the better buy

[versed rock]

The lower part is 1% lows

[narrow rose]

6800 will probably fix those average frames quite a bit with future drivers tbh

[viral ore]

not like either is even available tho...

[versed rock]

Nilboggen, these charts only display Average FPS and 1% lows

[narrow rose]

ah I thought it was max and average

[viral ore]

i wanna see .1% lows tho

that graph isnt really giving enough data to be reliable

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhqqa This is a game I actually play, but at competitive settings so, my FPS would actually likely be a LOT higher at 1440p than these results.

Yes it is, you are just being pedantic.

0.1% lows are nigh meaningless.

[tender fjord]

the jump from 140 to 160 is seemless

[viral ore]

i wanna see what the game dips to

[tender fjord]

especially on a 144hz screen

maybe you're right

[versed rock]

See, I'm not buying a measely 144hz screen for my next upgrade.

[tender fjord]

bro

[versed rock]

I'm getting the Odyssey G7

[narrow rose]

depends if you are getting 400fps and the .01% low is like 30fps thats quite a stutter lol

[viral ore]

if the frametimes are spiking, the game plays like crap

[versed rock]

Which is a 27" or 32" 1440p 240Hz Monitor

[tender fjord]

how much is it

[versed rock]

And, with G-Sync I can also just be like "Game go brrrr at 144hz but still smooth"

[tender fjord]

650 dollars

for a monitor

[narrow rose]

g-sync is pretty awesome

[versed rock]

Because it's also the first monitor of it's kind

It's the first 240hz 1440p monitor with a 1000R curve

[tender fjord]

I doubt the colors are as good as the gl850

[versed rock]

Well, no shirt sherlock, it's a VA panel.

Contrast is gonna be better though.

[tender fjord]

eww

a va panel

[versed rock]

Eww? Have you seen a good VA panel?

[tender fjord]

I don't like bad color on the edges

the viewing angles

think about the viewing angles

[versed rock]

This monitor ain't made for good viewing angles.

It's a Curved Panel

For a reason

[narrow rose]

VA can be pretty good compromise

[viral ore]

the difference between my VA and IPS was hardly noticable,

[versed rock]

Monitors are made to be viewed head-on

[narrow rose]

I would say that depends on the size of the monitor and distance from it

[versed rock]

And, after tuning the G7 has a nigh flawless color accuracy.

Delta E of 0.75, and anything at or Below 1 is basically flawless.

[tender fjord]

I'm so used to good colors

and it's a curved screen

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhv8y

That's the color information for a Tuned G7

It's darn near flawless

[narrow rose]

I cant do the curve screens it bothers me

[tender fjord]

are you actually getting a 32inch monitor

[versed rock]

The monitor even can hit around 67% of the Rec.2020 color space

No, I'll probably roll 27"

[tender fjord]

what is a tuned g7

[versed rock]

It's been tuned for color accuracy.

Which you can do yourself.

[tender fjord]

so is it actually better than a gl850

head on

[narrow rose]

my samsung tv hits around 89% Rec.2020 lol

[tender fjord]

but you're paying 650 for a monitor

[versed rock]

Yeah? And?

I'm paying my money for a GOOD monitor.

[narrow rose]

I'd say a good monitor is worth it

[versed rock]

The GL850 also sucks balls in Black Uniformity compared to the G7

[tender fjord]

but it's more vibrant

[versed rock]

I wouldn't really say that.

Contrast adds more to vibrancy than anything else.

And the G7 has a better HDR picture than the GL850

[tender fjord]

so you're saying the colors on this samsung monitor has better colors than a gl850

[versed rock]

Not 100%

[viral ore]

the peripherals you use should be nearly equal to what you paid for the tower. imagine getting a 2k usd pc, but using a 100 dollar monitor and a garbage teir keyboard and mouse

[tender fjord]

this is equivalent to a macbook pro screen

[versed rock]

🤔

[vital warren]

for example- i'm paying 1k for a pc and over 500 for peripherals

[versed rock]

The Macbook pro screen is OLED as far as I remember.

[little osprey]

Amd Ryzen 3 3100
Rx 580
16gb 3200mhz ram
Cooler master mb311l
500w cooler master power supply
asrock b450m pro4

Is this good for an 320$ pc build?

[tender fjord]

how bright can this samsung get

[versed rock]

And, actually the color accuracy of the G7 IS a little better in DCI P3

About 100 nits brighter than the GL850 in HDR

[viral ore]

i spent 1250 on peripherals lmao

[tender fjord]

are you getting a 3090

[viral ore]

i think my tower was 1.5k

[versed rock]

https://prnt.sc/vuhzsd G7

https://prnt.sc/vuhzyt GL850

[little osprey]

Amd Ryzen 3 3100
Rx 580
16gb 3200mhz ram
Cooler master mb311l
500w cooler master power supply
asrock b450m pro4

Is this good for an 320$ pc build?

[viral ore]

sure

[tender fjord]

yes

[versed rock]

Seems decent to me.

[tender fjord]

why are you building a 320 dollar pc

[little osprey]

im not

my max budget is 600$

i just built an ideal pc list for 320$

so idk

[tender fjord]

too much free time

[narrow rose]

up that gpu with all the rest of the money 😉

[little osprey]

i might manage to get a rx 5500xt for

115$

[narrow rose]

I would try to push for a 5600xt or 1660S or 2060S

[tender fjord]

if you have a good gpu but a bad cpu then what's the point of the good gpu

[little osprey]

is this case good

[narrow rose]

the 3100 can keep up with those gpus I mean I wouldnt get a 3090 for it or anything....

[vital warren]

cable management will be bad

[viral ore]

3090 with a 3100 would be for like 8k60

[little osprey]

i mean it looks nice

[viral ore]

its a good cheap case

[tender fjord]

think of the cables

[stoic island]

rtings ftw

[little osprey]

what abt this

[versed rock]

That's an excellent case.

The other one is likely not great.

[viral ore]

MB311l pog

[little osprey]

its 50 dollars cad

[viral ore]

really cheap, comes with fans

[versed rock]

MB311L is a great case.

[little osprey]

ok

i think it looks nice

its mesh

[stoic island]

mb311l pog

[little osprey]

ok im getting it

is the asrock b450m pro4 a good mobo for 50 cad?

brand new

[versed rock]

Oh also on the guy who was going to buy the GL850, the GL850 only can go up to 100Hz when FreeSync/G-Sync is enabled.

Which is a big oof

[little osprey]

this card looks interesting

its 250 cad but im going to try and negotiate it to 200

its gtx 1650 super gaming x

[versed rock]

250 CAD?!?

[little osprey]

yeah

[ripe wedge]

That sounds like brand new pricing almost

[versed rock]

Jesus

[viral ore]

thats kinda meh

[versed rock]

That is dang near brand-new price

[little osprey]

@ripe wedge i think it is new / open box

or new (other)

[versed rock]

Well, New price for a Strix Gaming Advanced 1650 Super

The Gaming X new price in CAD is 319.99

[little osprey]

250 cad comes out to eh

193 usd

[raw mist]

bro dont pay 250 cad for a 1650 super

try to get it down to 215 at least

unless its brand new or sum

@little osprey

[little osprey]

im trying to get it down to 200

its used - like new

@raw mist what if its 150?

[raw mist]

150 is rly cheap but 200 cad should be ok

[little osprey]

Just get 1660 super

e

[hasty gyro]

is it a bad idea to go for a 2600 instead of a 3600 and a 3080, if im planning to do 1440p 144hz?

[little osprey]

Not bad right?

[hasty gyro]

yeah thats not bad

3060ti is good for its price

[little osprey]

Yup

https://i.imgur.com/CwpxSFC.png why is he so firm on 10 dollars

LMAO ITS JUST 10$ THIS GUY LMAOAOOA

[unreal kindle]

unpopular opinion: nzxt h510 is good in some circumstances

[little osprey]

finally someone said that

I agree

[viral ore]

bruh just take it for 210

[little osprey]

just get a 1660ti

[unreal kindle]

fr like its perfectly fine with a 9100f and a rx 580

[little osprey]

or 1660 super

[little osprey]

Yeah

prob

which is better

1650 super or 1660

[unreal kindle]

1660

[little osprey]

1660

or get a 1660 super if u have money for it

im going to smuggle an 1660 down to 200$

[unreal kindle]

the gpu market is so weird rn

[midnight ether]

i need help

[little osprey]

what u gonna use PC for? @little osprey

@little osprey gaming

what games

[midnight ether]

plz help

[little osprey]

gta v, battlefield, cod warzone, doom eternal

oh aight

mostly e-sports games with some triple a's

can I see your part list?

sure

[little osprey]

With what?

what about storage?

whats your budget?

i have storage already

400 - 500$

oh

right now its at 430

or 330 usd

get a better CPU

ok

try a ryzen 5

hmmm maybe a 2600X? @little osprey

lemme see the price of it

its around 150$

and try and get 1650 or 1660 for GPU

does that fit your budget in total?

no

wait how much is the CPU u put

75$

oh

im going to try and negotiate 135

hmmmmm

Yeah that would be so worth

[hasty gyro]

is it a bad idea to go for a 2600 instead of a 3600 and a 3080, if im planning to do 1440p 144hz?

[little osprey]

I dont think a 2600 would be good for 1440p and 144hz XD

[hasty gyro]

whys that?

[viral ore]

for 144hz, you want the single core performance advantages of the 3600

the 2600 would be fine for hitting 144hz in most games tho

also, how much you getting a 2600 for?

[hasty gyro]

im just wondering cuz ill likely only be able to afford a 3600 and a 3070 if i go for the 3600, and im just wondering if its worth going for a 2600 to be able to afford a 3080

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

one sec

[little osprey]

3600 maybe

[hasty gyro]

179.99

[little osprey]

is 8 gigs of ram good for 45 cad

[hasty gyro]

cad

[viral ore]

good luck getting one of those gpus, imo, focus on snagging a card first, then plan the rest of your system around it

[hasty gyro]

i can get a card, it wont be hard for me since the store i wanna buy from does in store back order's

[viral ore]

i think the 3060ti is a great card for 1440p 144hz

performs only slightly worse than the 3070, 100 dollars less

[little osprey]

Yup it is

I wanna get a 2060

I meant 3060

[hasty gyro]

yeah but if i go for the 3060 ti then ill have leftover budget for what, a 5600x?

or i could, just save money

[viral ore]

5600x good

[little osprey]

I hate when people see my message when I am offering but dont respnod

[viral ore]

3600 has stock issues

[hasty gyro]

wdym

[viral ore]

considering its pretty much eol

[hasty gyro]

like its hard to find?

[little osprey]

f

[hasty gyro]

it depends on the specs of the ram

[viral ore]

3600 used to sell for 170 USD

[agile folio]

is this psu good https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0797HL9Z4/?coliid=I1JL88ZOWEV3T4&colid=3ATS4G6H8DGRZ&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it ?

[viral ore]

it was that way for like a whole year

[little osprey]

@hasty gyro 3000mhz t-force delta rgb ram

i might get an gtx 1660 for 200$ cad

[hasty gyro]

not bad. cl 14, 16, 18, or other?

[little osprey]

16-18-18-38

[hasty gyro]

thats actually pretty good

[little osprey]

or this -

[hasty gyro]

im not sure what that is lol

like idk the brand and stuff

[little osprey]

its 16gb ram

for 75$

3200mhz

[hasty gyro]

thats not too bad

[little osprey]

or this -

75$, 3000mhz

or this -

[hasty gyro]

how much is the vengeance ram

[little osprey]

Would 500W be good enough for 3600X and 1660 Super?

@hasty gyro 80$

@little osprey get 650w

[hasty gyro]

thats probably your best bet then idk, corsiar is trustworthy @little osprey

[little osprey]

@little osprey 550w

[agile folio]

how are evga psu's?

compared to corsair

[hasty gyro]

good info

yes

[little osprey]

What would be a good CPU for 1660 super?

[hasty gyro]

depends

[agile folio]

750 would be a safe bet

[hasty gyro]

what resolution

what dizcord said, 750 would be the safe bet

[random wagon]

ok thanks

[little osprey]

is Intel Core i5-9600K good for a 1660 super?

[hasty gyro]

yes it would be

[little osprey]

3600X or
Intel Core i5-9600K?

for gaming

msi ventus gtx 1660 for 200$

[fallen escarp]

asking here cause i cant get a good answer from PCMR

will the i9 10850k be good paired with the rtx 2080 ti?

[ripe wedge]

ye

[fallen escarp]

poggers ok

[ripe wedge]

its a slightly more powerful cpu than the 10700k

but the main thing is it has 10 cores

[fallen escarp]

i know i checked the benchmarks

[ripe wedge]

iirc

if u just wanna game just get a 10700k

[fallen escarp]

too late already ordered :D

[ripe wedge]

how much was it

[fallen escarp]

like $100 less the original price

got everything on cyber monday

[ripe wedge]

what was the price tho

[fallen escarp]

i forgot ok

[midnight ether]

can someone hepl me out? I'm trying to decide whether or not it is worth purchasing an EVGA geforce gtx 1660

[agile folio]

price?

[fallen escarp]

which cpu are you using?

[ripe wedge]

$389?

[midnight ether]

lemme check

[ripe wedge]

for the 10850k?

[fallen escarp]

and which card do you have now?

@ripe wedge it should be iirc

@midnight ether you there?

[midnight ether]

one sec

[fallen escarp]

take your time no rush

[midnight ether]

ryzen 5 3600

[fallen escarp]

yep it'll pair fine

[midnight ether]

ok good

[agile folio]

^

[fallen escarp]

go for the 1660 super if it fits your budget

[midnight ether]

it doesnt

but thanks!

[fallen escarp]

no problem :)

[ebon herald]

Ayyy

[little osprey]

can gtx 1660 super run games at ultra

1080p

What is a good mobo for the i5-9600K

I have no time to explain bruh

I just need a mobo

for it

oh ok

[severe axle]

I'd probably go with a z390 board so that you can use the overclocking

with intel you pay for the K at the end(overclockable) and you can only overclock on z390 chipset mobos

[granite imp]

@wanton cliff

Is here

[little osprey]

I aint overclocking so what u reccomend?

[severe axle]

hmm

[little osprey]

i found an gtx 1660 for 200$

[severe axle]

you could go with a b365 one

[granite imp]

[fossil halo]

bruh

3060 launch was thick bruh

i mean i guess i didnt expect much

[little osprey]

Quite a few people got them

More than 3070 and 3080 I think

Least I did. Snagged a 3060ti

should I do rx 580 and amd ryzen 3 3200g build for 320$

or

gtx 1660 and amd ryzen 5 2600 for 470$

1660

2600

Imo

You'll be able to go longer without upgrading and can maintain 1080p 60fps on most titles

isnt rx 580 better then gtx 1660

[radiant hamlet]

It seems vendor supply chains have been impacted by COVID. Either that or the first 15 video cards I looked at that are compatible with my motherboard are out of stock for some other reason!

[slim escarp]

Can you plug a 4 pin fan into your psu

[radiant hamlet]

0 for 15 ...

[glacial umbra]

is a crucial bx500 SSD any good for the price?

[hasty gyro]

i dont understand what you would be trying to do. 4 ping fan connectors plug into your motherboard or a fan hub

[reef lynx]

What do these mean?

Besides the last one

[little osprey]

homogenous

[stoic island]

it means H510 sucks

[hasty gyro]

LMAO

agreed

[reef lynx]

Lol

[stoic island]

tomahawk max too

:P

[hasty gyro]

yerrrrrrrrr

[little osprey]

H510 looks pretty... HOT

[hasty gyro]

yes but

it sucks

[reef lynx]

What case do i get then? (Making a list for someone lol)

[stoic island]

very toasty

@reef lynx what's the overall budget

[little osprey]

Corsair airflow series is good

[stoic island]

Mx330-g air

[reef lynx]

800-900, but they can go over budget slightly

[dapper jasper]

H510 is average, it’s not terrible

[hasty gyro]

for space, go for the nzxt 210i

[stoic island]

mx330-g air

[reef lynx]

So like a 910-930 pc would suffic

hmm

[stoic island]

also, just don't go b450

[hasty gyro]

yes

[stoic island]

no reason to, especially not a tomahawk max

[hasty gyro]

b550

[reef lynx]

Ryzen 5 2600, what board do i put for it?

[stoic island]

do you already own it

[dapper jasper]

Decent Cases from lowest to highest (MFR= more fans recommended) A9(MFR), MX330/X1/G(MFR), MX331 MESH/-X1(MFR), N200(MFR), Focus G, P300A Mesh(MFR), Focus G Mini, Montech X1, Versa H18, MX330-G Air, DLM 21 Mesh(MFR), Shadow-H3-ARGB, MB311L, NR400, Neo Air ATX, NR600, P360A

[stoic island]

return it if you haven't had it yet

[hasty gyro]

mr1111 what do you think of the nzxt 210i

[stoic island]

@dapper jasper Mx330-g air comes with 3 fans

that's why I suggest it

[reef lynx]

R 5 2600 + RX 570 is what i plan to include in my list

this pair

[dapper jasper]

I know, I’m just suggesting a list of decent cases

[reef lynx]

Hmm, which one would work best?

[stoic island]

I'd say P300a likes more fans, single rear doesn't do it well

[reef lynx]

Given my scenario i mean

[stoic island]

neo air is good

nr600 decent

[reef lynx]

It cant go over 60$ btw

[hasty gyro]

@stoic island do you build pc's for people, cuz you know a lot

[dapper jasper]

Focus g mini, montech x1, neo air Mb311l

[stoic island]

@reef lynx 10100+B460+5600xt is what I'm thinking

I don't like montech x1, and I prefer others than focus g

focus g is just a cheapo average case, I have one

[reef lynx]

Hmmm, but they plan on streaming, how good is it for that?

[stoic island]

1660 super/2060 instead of 5600xt then, but pricing is weird

[hasty gyro]

2600 and 3080 or 3600 and 3070 for 1440p 144hz?

[reef lynx]

The CPU specifically

[stoic island]

@hasty gyro neither, 10100+3080 atm

[hasty gyro]

wait fr?

[stoic island]

or 10400

[hasty gyro]

what about overclocking?

[stoic island]

but 10100 is really good pricing

[little osprey]

which is better

gtx 1660 or rx 580

[stoic island]

overclocking doesn't get you far on Ryzen

[hasty gyro]

actually that doesnt rlly do much anyways

yeah

[stoic island]

1660 over 580 slightly

[reef lynx]

@stoic island how good is that cpu for streaming compared to ryzen 5 2600?

[stoic island]

nvenc is nice

[little osprey]

is it worth spending extra 50$ over 580 for 1660?

[stoic island]

hm? Streaming with NVENC doesn't really care about CPU

what currency

[little osprey]

cad

[stoic island]

meh

not really

[reef lynx]

So in that case i go for an NVIDIA gpu? Or is NVENC universal?

[little osprey]

ok

[stoic island]

NVENC stands for NVidia ENCoder soooo

[hasty gyro]

so you suggest a 10400 or a 10100 over the 3600 and 2600?

[reef lynx]

Ah i see

What GPU do i get then to match the 10100?

[stoic island]

At the moment, yes.

3070/3080, tho I'd try and get 10400+3080 if possible

4c8t doesn't take you too far nowadays

[hasty gyro]

okay ill look into it

wait i thought 3600 was 6 c 12 t

[stoic island]

Yes

10100 is 4c8t

10400 is 6c12t

[hasty gyro]

ohhhhhhhh i see

[reef lynx]

The PC must be 900-925 dollars i think

[stoic island]

10100 is ~100$, 10400 is like 160$..?

talking to other guy

[reef lynx]

Ooh

Alright

[stoic island]

I'll make a 900$ list

[reef lynx]

Are 3080’s in stock?

[little osprey]

whats wrong with b450

[violet crown]

I asked neweggs customer service a question and they said they don't know their product and to ask here.... im looking for a new monitor for my dual 1080ti rig... any input on a new one?
I trade crypto, type code and play games on the desktop... so I was considering 1 wide-screen that could fit 2 fully open displays.... or 3 cheaper monitors with bezel free kit... any imput

[idle hawk]

i managed to get 2 3060 ti's

[hasty gyro]

ill probably go with the 10400 then, plus mobo support shouldnt be too bad

[snow stump]

hi @stoic island i got this list from another user in general. I want to buy all parts from newegg. any reco for the missing parts? https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Mr1111/saved/2P8cbv

[stoic island]

heh, I'm actually kind of making a replacement right now, gimme a moment

[snow stump]

awesome!!!

[severe axle]

also dont get the 2060 in that list

overpriced

[little osprey]

Yeah foreal

For thirty dollars more you have a 3060ti

[stoic island]

trying to find a 2060 in stock anywhere atm

[idle hawk]

oof

[little osprey]

Probably better off with a 5600xt

More power

[idle hawk]

more driver issues

[little osprey]

Gonna be cheaper

On a 5600xt?

lolololol

[stoic island]

prob

5600xt is just slightly more problematic

[reef lynx]

2060’s seem to be overpriced in general in pcpartpicker

[idle hawk]

^^

[stoic island]

constant blackscreening on launch is fixed by now

[little osprey]

Never heard of anyone having problems with them

[stoic island]

Yea because they're all sold out

[little osprey]

5700 on the other hand

[reef lynx]

Wtf is this price

[stoic island]

All RDNA cards had driver issues on launch

[reef lynx]

“300$”

[stoic island]

it's mostly fixed by now

[idle hawk]

theres been a whole discussion about those gpus lol

[reef lynx]

The KO ones are supposed to be 300$ lmao

[little osprey]

Idk I'm selling mine because I got a 3060ti. Was using it as a backup till I found one

Yeah 2060's are way infalted

[idle hawk]

which 3060 you got

[little osprey]

FE and Evga

Bought 2

[idle hawk]

noice

[scarlet spear]

im migrating here for t he moment

[stoic island]

This isn't bad, let's start off with this @snow stump @flint rivet
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/M4Nsmk

[idle hawk]

i managed to get the msi ventus and FE

[hasty gyro]

msi mpg z490 gaming edge vs gaming plus
which should i go for?

[little osprey]

From Bestbuy?

[idle hawk]

yep

[little osprey]

Nice

I got my FE from BB and my EVGA from Newegg
