X570
uh i found x570 tuf gaming pro
I want rgb
B550 also has PCIe 4.0 for GPU and M.2_1 as a side note
And I suggest a B550 Aorus elite ax to look at.
then go with an rog \
@little osprey don't think x570 pro has bios flashback, can you check?
Or rig strix
Ah it's plus that doesn't have it, pro does.
yeah the one i linked has it
Was thinking about mobo sheet
So which one
um rog x570-e seems like it has what you want
What about Meg ace
Ok
yes it does
Ok is that better then the rog
So do I just insert the usb
ive never had to do flash bios so idk
Ok
@wicked frigate if you are flashing msi bios through usb
make sure to name the bios file "MSI.ROM"
otherwise it might not be recognized
i'm taking some time off to chill today so feel free to ping me with questions

the one day this chat is slow is when you take a day off 
ah ok lmao
Good list for the most part, does the motherboard need wifi tho? And also I would add a 1tb Seagate barracuda
omg lol'
That case only has 2 fans so you may want to buy and extra fan
i don't have ethernet im my room
yeah
i have case fans lying around
arctic p12
Ok so then motherboard is good
I have used the gtx 1660 super from asus and it's a great card
If this us the list you want I would wait till February when price drop
ok
i actually already have the pc just parts were getting old
just was thinking either swap part for some stuff or change pc altogether
so i guess everything's fine
Well it's a 3070 so good luck
To get my 3060 ti I waited 24hrs outside of microcenter
Oof
Whats a good rtx gpu?
2060
Like in the 500 dollar range
its not too hard
Did you bot the checkout
no
I got mine on launch tho
You could've gotten on pretty easily online
Yeah but then shipping
also Idk why you got a 10700k
Wait the pny just said in stock
Those lyers
I'm a intel guy
Im a ryzen guy
lol
Also Intel better for just gaming
that is false
Aw hell no
What
Your the person who just looks at branding and not the actual product
I did my research
lmao
Then you would of picked ryzen
Ryzen is overpriced right now anyway
not really
Not really
Everything is
a 5600x can match a 10900k in some cases
Yes, really
and its 300 dollars
Well i kind of agree with you
You can’t buy. 5600x
I already have
That’s great
UT how much was the entire build?
The reason i want a new pc is i have a all in one and a gtx 950m
And a i5
What the pcpartpicker for
Good for you
its not that hard
You don’t have a 3080
I'm using the 3070s as an example
What. Is the best 20 series?
Like price wise
None
just wait for the 3070
I'll joy rum dMali um raw
5700xt is closest thing
what
5700xt is expensive
Agreed
the entire 20 series is terrible price/performance right now
Oh
lul
honestly
I actually almost bought a 3080
I was trying to get a 3070 for a friend
and I thought it was 3070 notif
Could you uh... mail me down one of those uh.. 370? Uh... please?
9 not really thats whe whole point of notifs
You’re missing the point
Honestly
but most people don't really care about the model that much
they just want a card
At MSRP? Where tho lol
I just want founders edition
nothing else?
@final meadow Microcenter
I'm talking online
Idk ive never tried anything else
And I said easier, not easy
Well get any 3070 you can
Unless it scalp
i would strongly prefer a 3080 aorus master
second choice is 3080 vision
i managed to get to checkout with a 3080 vision then i got the "hey wanna buy masks" popup and lost my chance lol
I was considering a 3080 but it would raise my build from 1.1k to 1.3
Im thinking i may just wait untill the hardware price gwnerally goes down
i was committed to buy a 3090 until the benchmarks came out
I would’ve bought a 3080

With the demand of 3070
pathetic
3070 is good enough
not for everyone
honestly not even 3090 is hitting the performance level i want
so no, 3070 is not good enough for everyone
i have a 1440p165 monitor
Depends on the game
3090 doesn't hit 1440p165 in everything
Right
i don't care about ray tracing i just want frames
I don't think it can reach it in any game
thats actually mildly intensive
not like fortnite
or minecraftr
minecraft is intensive now xd
lol rtx mc is
It’s intensive too depending on your draw distance
3090 only gets 110 fps in cyberpunk with DLSS on ultra performance mode, rtx OFF, 1440p
😭
Yeah cyberpunk performance is bull
Should i just get the bare minium for vr gaming
You have to run dlss
i'm planning on buying the 3080 even though i set aside enough money for the 3090
the slightly higher perf is nowhere near worth the more than double cost
Hi
Heyo
Hey so I got a i5-9600k clocked at 4.3Mhz but I keep seeing that cyberpunk is hitting the 100% CPU usage at 1440p144hz any suggestions on how to avoid the 100% usage?
I built myself home server for around €255 with these specs:
Xeon E5 2620 v3
128gb DDR4 ECC REG
Supermicro X10SRL-F
What do you guys think?
What gpu?
2070 super
Its a CPU bottleneck. Try increasing the settings so its GPU bottlenecked.
Or the best option upgrade your cpu if possible
Ah! I have everything on ultra but RTX on kills my frames so I have that off is it a lack of threads that be the problem?
Yes.
I9-9900 here I come I guess 😭
0.0
how do you make games more cpu/gpu demanding
Increase your res & settings
Higher res is more gpu demanding
ah ty
I would suggest you change platforms.
If you can find any 5th gen cpus tho
whenever i alt tab my game, and come back to it, everything loads a lot slower (getting in games) any reason why
and yes i have a ssd
In all games or?
certain games
like before i alt tab my game loads fine
but when i alt tab back in it takes like and extra 30seconds to load
i know corsair and nzxt make decent ones
and it doesn’t seem like price is that important
ARCTIC LIQUID FREEZER II 360 is an option too
they sold out everywhere 😢
When you start up your system in bois in a cold room just to see how cold you can get it
Nice
The pairing of R5 3600XT + RX5600XT good?
can someone make me a 800-1000$ pc list im bad at pcs
@languid nimbus will a 1660 work with thios
why would you want a 1660
1660 gpu? It’ll work, but 3070 is much, much better
no graphics card
wat
800-1000 isnt a budget
wdym
if you want it to be a bit cheaper then get a 3060t
i am confusion
I’d personally save up a bit more and go for the 3070 if you can find one. However the 1660 will work, just not nearly as well. You could consider getting the 3060ti too, it’s $100 cheaper, but also hard to find
so 3060 ti is better?
than what?
than 1660
much
3060ti -> 3070 -> 3080 -> 3090
why do you want a 1660 so bad?
3060ti ~= 2080s, 3070 ~= 2080ti
sry to act like im stupid lol
Nah dude you’re good
im just ass at this type of thing
we've all been there at sum point
The 3060ti has beat the 2080 in some things too
This is the 3060ti
Problem is stock
3000 series hard to find
3060ti is more like a better 2080 super
I should have 3 if my stuff auto logged in and I lived on the east coast
2 3070 and 1 3080
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Fx3K2V oh and here's the intel's version of the list lhsanta sent if you were to want it
Hey uh I'm trying to get a new gpu, and I'm sorta new to building and pcs, but does PCI-Express work with PCI-Express 4.0?
I might buy this gpu today if it fully works with my pc, but I just needed to know if it's compatible first
oh dang seriously?
thank you
yeah you can use a pcie3.0 on a 4.0 slot and vice versa
I've been trying to figure it out online for a while now and it only says that its backwards compatible
yea online it just says that its backwards like that but i didnt know if it would go all the way back to my PCIe
pretty much I bought a prebuilt pc and wasted my own money
I just wanted to make sure if it'd work
also do you think this gpu is good?
I was thinking of getting it since the Nvidia RTX 2060 was always above my price limit and out of stock
if you're planning on just gaming, yeah it's pretty good, it even outperforms the 2060 in some titles
if you're planning on streaming and want the features the 2060 has to offer like nvenc, rtx voice, etc, get the 2060
yea I'm not gonna stream I'm gonna save up for vr and probably get cyberpunk and some other games I couldnt run with my very outdated GTX 650
well im gonna try and the gpu now
thanks for the help
have a good night or day
you too man
im planning on upgrading to a 10700k and a 3080 if i can ever get my hands on one. I currently have a cx650m, should I upgrade my PSU as well if I want to oc
why 10700k? 5600x has better performance u know
unless u alr have a lga1200 mobo
already have a z490
mm
I tried to get the newegg drop just now but the web site just does not load, im on a trashtop what do I do?
yeah that's what happens when bots overload the website server
or it's just not loading
really beginner question: do you need a sata cable to install an hdd?
oh alright, thanks
Anyone got a good recommendation for a home pc for an elderly person? Like a pc solely for searching things up on google and watching YouTube?
No gaming or anything like that
Okay I have a old VGA monitor if I buy a VGA to display port cable will it work with my PC
it should
ok but like
3200 ram for a $1k ryzen build ._.
Yup
could do 3600 for a bit more $
I didn’t make list, but it’s still a solid build
whats wrong with that?
Ram prices have dropped a lot recently
you can also just oc your ram to 3600 but it increases latency
nice
Nice, best of luck
if you can try to get a post on your system before putting in your case just so you know everything works 🙂
literally anything with an i3 and a ssd and over 4gb ram lol
modern i3 ofc
like 256gb nvme, i3 10100, and 8gb ram
yeah id go with any non hp prebuilt tbh
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-OptiPlex-9020-SFF-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B07CTSFCRR/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=dell+optiplex+8gb+ram+10100&qid=1607736318&sr=8-6 dang, this one has 16gb ram
Amazon.com: Dell OptiPlex 9020-SFF, Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHZ, 16GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, DVDRW, Windows 10 Pro 64bit (Renewed): Computers & Accessories
4570 tho
this one is probably the cheapest
with 8gb ram to be exact
why are u saying optiplex
you know optiplex isnt their like
desktop name right
i know u hear ppl saying "get a used optiplex" and its cause theyre dells business machines
companies buy them, when they upgrade theyre given to recyclers and sold on ebay/amazon/newegg
plus thats a 9100
didn’t know that actually, I’ll keep that in mind, figured it’d be alright bc Amazon has ez return policy
whats wrong with buying an optiplex?
here u go
nothing used
but its a business machine
oh oops i didnt see the ram on that one
upgrade it to the ssd in the configurator
and atom optiplexes are great but the reason why theyre so cheap used is because enterprise customers buy hundreds of them
when they upgrade they take them to recyclers who destroy the company data and then resell the computers
it doesnt make much sense to buy them new unless you need the specific enterprise bios features
or unless u want dell's business support
Someone give me a 3 3100 and 1650 super pls, ping me if u can
lmao
pay for one yourself, you actual low-life
hope i helped :)))))))
i was asking for a park picker list lmao
park picker
oh lol

Then it sounded wrong, my bad then lol
just tape them together
Umm... yes?
lol
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7p4Rgt @little osprey
i think he means like a pcpartpicker list with a 3060 ti instead of a 3070 y'know
No idea
even though they are basically all sold out
why not go with an rx 580?
didnt he want a 3100?
yea...
no point getting one tbh
but fine if you have your heart set on it for whatever reason
here good luck finding one tho
"here i dont want this equivalent part let me spend a bunch of time finding this other one that isnt in stock cause reddit says intel bad amd good"
yes but also 3100 never goes for msrp
nothing going for msrp right now
10100 goes for msrp all day long
"All individual products in below combo must be returned in their entirety" does this mean i cant return one of the item in the combo?
actually
it goes for 107 rn
and msrp is 122
so
10100 goes for below msrp
and performs around the same as the 3100
but intel bad amd good waaaaah
Hey guys question what is a good build/set up for a streaming/recording, gaming and editing pc? I would like to start planning out a set up/build to make better quality YouTube videos/streams and twitch as well. I'm not sure for a budget price but I was thinking maybe a $2000 but I sadly don't have it right now but it would be for the future when I save up enough.
dont ask till you have the money
Ok got it
whatever i tell you to get will be outdated when u have enough
bruh can someone help me rq
whats up
and focus on your budget and getting the $ needed to make that happen
i set my ram to the XMP so its 3k megahertz, but it doesnt post up to windows
it just sits at a black screen
then im happy to talk to you abt builds
Ok will do thanks
clear cmos, try again then
Defines CMOS technology and how to clear CMOS using the jumper or battery methods.
and before u say "i amd" method is the same
Rx6800xt or 3070?
@hollow grail thanks
id choose evga tbh
thats just plain outs stupid
thats like buying the new iphone from the bums in the dark alley
I got questions
yes
how does the B550 gaming edge work ?
idk
im new to pc stuff lol
Das okay
man waiting for these cpu prices to go back down is painful
performs as a B550 motherboard should
I shall spend years and years two find these cpus to go down
well call it...
The journey of normally priced cpus
the grand adventure of MSRP
is this the best place for build questions?
it is called build-chat, so yes
figured i'd ask before posting a novel
so here's the deal- i bought a GTX 970 STRIX a while ago to drop into my machine and it turned out my PSU didn't have the correct plugs, so the new gpu has been sitting in the box for over a year now... i'm looking for a super quiet power supply and to also replace my other existing fans, also upgrade my ram..
ultimate goal, super quiet machine, with new gpu, more ram, in order to run dual universe and able to stream other games as well
so your psu doesnt have a 6 pin power connector?
i am attempting to figure out a power supply with the new egg calculator, but my current gpu, GTX 560 Ti is not listed
no, just 4's
honestly you can just choose to get an overkill psu
so that you wont upgrade for a while
true
nvidia geforce gtx 560ti is what is in my machine right now
how much should i spend on a 2060
Should I go with the meshify c or the phantek p400a?
both are good cases so your choice
2060's are overpriced rn
if you can wait you can get a 3060ti for better price
3060ti gonna be very hard to get though
how do i see which brand of ram i have without ripping my case open?
also the p400a digital comes with 3 case fans while the meshify comes with one
bios maybe
can i get to my bios without a system restart?
no, you cant
^
there are some features in the BIOS that you can do with admin CMD, though
what would be a good price for a 2060 though
Thats kinda uh...hard
since the new gpus about to come out.
But above 320$ a 2060 is kinda eh...
kk
3060ti
3060 ti
K
Rn
20xx series aren't worth buying unless you get a super good deal on a used 20xx
Ok
wait for 3060 ti
2060s price for 2080s preformance
did i spell that right? idk'
im not that smart
2080s perf for the price of uh...5700xt?
Can i set my ram to 3600mhz with a ryzen 3 3100 cpu?
I just dont want any blue screens
🗿
I think I’m await for the 5600
idk is cpus have ram speed caps but if it do it will just not use 3600mhz and will just go down to whatever it does support
like a mobo
but i think, im not for sure
My windows boot manager has left
thats cool
i only have my case but ive saved up 500 and i might be getting another 50 for grades
im going to buy almost all my pc parts at the end of the year
lmao
only parts ill have left is gpu, cpu, and mobo
but them the most expensive
so it will take like 2 years to get
but this is going faster than i thought
im getting fan hubs, darnit fan spliters whould have been cheaper but prob more messy
🗿
hubs? how many fans do you have? lol
Yo @little osprey
?
yeah i got a lian li lancool ii and it can have 8 fans im ima fill them all
yeah
Really?
holyy
My mobo can only support 6 fans
you mean pair 3600 ram with a 3100 or oc your ram?
Yea
buying 6rgb fans and using 2 out fo 3 stock fans for the bottom for the gpu
Pair it
yeah
U sure?
It has finally came
Its set at like 2100 rn or something
what was your ram advertised at?
then yeah you can
I’m waiting on my cpu now
Nice
Next week im gonna buy another fan
The front just looks so empty without 2 fans
🗿
🗿
im trying to get my little brother to save up for a pc so i can build him it
How old is he
Nice
hes 11 i think
Alr
he doesnt need one but like
ive tried to get him to save uo 300
I use to play on Xbox
he plays on xbox
I was going to get the series s but out of nowhere I decided to get a pc and got money out of nowhere
lmao
I’m 13
my 6 year old brother is getting and s i think
I bought my own phone aswell
Because I used to sell chips at school and made bank
Is a Msi gtx 1050 good for a first pc?
with my 210 ib
1050 ti?
Yeah
How much?
I got it for like 149
darn
Bruh
150$ for a 1050?
it looks really nice tho
rx570
rx 570
yeah
lol
i mean the 1050 toi can get 54 fps 1080p high
@meager canyon you already brought the 1050?
ok- i built my machine on pcpartpicker
i think a 1050 ti would be ok for 1080p mid-low
It's starting to struggle on new games tho.
i couldnt get my ram on there, but its kingston 4gb
Is that your pc?
yeah thats true
is this an old build?
haha true
lmao
oh no- ancient.. i've had the same case since i was 16
What’s a good gpu so that I can upgrade my gpu later on
It's still a capable pc
Well...do not try play 2020 aaa games on it tho.
for what price are you willing to pay
dude, minecraft lags sometimes...
what??
Thats odd...java or bedrock?
Idk maybe up to 300 depends
java
Ah...java isn't the best optimized tho.
2060 is 300
Later on in like..6/8 months later or?
2060 msrp is 400
Idk maybe when an upgrade is necessary
Depends
There is about to be a bunch of card release next year along with cards going down in price.
yeah once 30 series cards arent in a shortage prices for 20 series will go down
2060 for 190$ when
so i'm trying to get a geforce gtx 970 strix 4gb, super quiet power supply and 8+gb ram onto my machine
Gtx 970? Nice.
Though depends on the price you getting it for
i bought it like 2 years ago
Also i would recommend upgrade from a i5 2400 to a xeon e3 1230 v2
But my gpu will be good for a beginner like me right?
@river bobcat mind sending some more pics of that strix 3080 vertically mounted? Deciding whether I wanna keep it or my ftw3!
it's been sitting in a box because my psu didn't have the correct hookups and i was too lazy/didn't know who to ask how to upgrade it
Yeah...it should do fine for now but likely to struggles on 2021 titles i gurss.
Can someone help me build my pc
I play more FPS games like r6
Budget?
the shop i had my machine built at went out of business.. so this is really my first time building/adding to a machine
Should do fine on r6
Reason: Bad word usage
f
Oh
Will it run fine on FPS games bcs I don’t really like rpg games like fallout etc
I try building my self but I think I messed up can someone help me for free
Depends on the game itself.
what do you mean, messed up?
Is a big mess idk where wires and other part go
I never build pc before and idk anything abt pc
Yeah but they have different part
it doesnt matter the installation is the same
Parts don’t matter, it’s like putting legos together
It's still the same format to biuld it
ye
Idk there so may part and the wires are so confusing
Just read the manual lol
My gpu cams with a comic
that too
Nah, we’re here to help. Give it a shot. Just don’t turn it on until you’re sure
Came
sometimes they different but its like y=mx+b vs y=mx small difference
i would go into vc and try to help but im not suppost to be on discord rn
its gonna be hard to help him just through text. watching an amd build guide would be best
someone should go into vc and have him turn cam on to walk them step by step
i cant rn sorry man. like i said just watch a build guide.
my new gpu isn't on pcpartpicker.. how do i add it?
unless someone can actually help you in vc. a video would be best
Ok 😭
Someone @ me and help me make a pc for 1000$
what is the difference between DDR3 & 4?
i have DDR3 now, should i buy 4?
well ddr4 is faster
and yes get ddr4 ram
Well if your system is DDR3 only, you can only use ddr3
^^^^
if new parts no need for ddr3
If you stay with the platform, use that platform's memory
Thoughts on selling babies on the dark web
what determines if i'm limited to ddr3's?
your mobo
ASUS P8Z68-M PRO Motherboard
Every DDR system also have a small space beetwen them
Beetwen the pins
Are you a furry
everyone knows the best IT ppl are furries
No.
keli is a huge furry

dont let them lie
Keli fury
OwO
Beeg fury
xd
@steep stratus
I got stung by a bee on my but
Also that.mobo uses ddr3
Ye
That is lga 1155 mobo...well
Let me double check
its a pretty old board so yeah ddr3
gotta be lvl 3 to post links lol
Is a ryzen 5 1600 AF good for a beginner
someone power level me to act5 baal runs then
150
Who?
You
this is what i'm trying to get to..

Just asking because you can get like
A 10400 for nearly the same price
And it might peform better
Oh ok
what is am4?
Am4 is a socket
Socket is where you put the cpu on top
And it connects with the motherboard
what mobo do you plan on buying? @steep stratus
i was planning on just using the one that's in it now
@meager canyon planning to buy a new motherboard or already have it?
ASUS P8Z68-M PRO
Btw, cursa
I still haven’t ordered it
am4 is for amd
as far as i know my psu can't plug into the gtx 970 i have in a box and my ram needs to be at 16gb
Upgrade your i5 2400 to i7 3rd en or xeon 1230 v2 or e3 1270
If you upgrading rn, i would go for intel 10th gen due to begin in stock and not so much overpriced than amd
That’s the motherboard I am getting
he already has the 1600af remember
He said that he didn't ordered yet.
Wait uh
like this one?
Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.5GHz
it was the first link on newegg
@meager canyon do you already have the r5 1600af
Ordered*
Ah
Ye that one
But depends on the price you getting it for
is $180 normal?
For the 3770k?
yeah
Hell no.
You should look at ebay for a i7 or xeon
But i would upgrade it to a xeon e3 1230 v2 tho
Since they are cheap
Than save up for a new system
why not just save up for a new system?
first i need to get this gpu into my machine
Yeah but atleast those xeons have give some breathing room tho.
And they are like 30-50 bucks
Most of the time going for 40
i want a no noise psu in 550w range
my machine is super loud and i'm over it.. just looking for suggestions
mine is 500w right now
lol
yeah for some reason i forgot about be quiet
their air coolers are on sale today
Pure Power 11?
I try to boot and it black screen and freezes
Bryce Bryce

have you tried a fresh install?
Who doesn't know what image it means?
I was wondering how I could add boot manager to a different ssd
Ik
But i have windows on both
However it didnt install the boot manager on my main ssd
I've borked a few Windows copy's during my overclocking.
It's p easy to do it seems.
Even the installer broke
Don't make things complicated
Get a USB flash drive. Put Windows Media creation installer and run it on the flash drive.
Plug it in, click install. Done. Easy clap.
I try to reinstall but I bork

It just freezes
User error.
I cant
yes you can
in bios
I tried
not in bios lmfao
plug mouse into usb2 port
if u have any
if not use keyboard controls
lol
whats your question?
what is a good option for 16gb ram ddr3? i have 4 slots
any kind lol
Trying to get windows boot manager without reinstalling
just go into the boot menu
wth is this
lmao thats so cute

i had an uhhhhh
holy
Hey guys what’s the name of this wire?
Sata
sata
Sata
Thank you!
I could afford to go higher, but I don't see the value in spending any more than that.
anything above what you have is just luxury man
i forgot what cpu i had
and as you can see, im sitting on a 5930k and 1080ti, so I keep my hardware a long time.
That lineart...twokinds?
yeah
the ram is 3600 because of the 1x limitation on zen3
it actually makes more sense to keep 3600 than go 4000
yeah i mean amd likes 3600
I have always been high resolution > High refresh rate, so my 5930k isn't really hurting me... except I also play alot of world building games/4x/base building... so it kind of is...
It’s not fitting into my sata port, do I need adapter or something?
that's not the... right one. . .
your mobo should come with a smaller one
it's sata power, your doing sata data in the picture
i thinks its mobo
So I plug into power supply?
that end plugs into power on CD/DVD/BlueRay/Hard Drive
pair it with that for data to the mobo
^
I see
Oh ya I remember my motherboard having some wires included
but yeah, the small one is data... the big one is power.
the very big one is both XD
plug it into the sata header on your psu
Ohhh
alot of times power supplies will have a cable like this:
with a multi-pin usually 6pin on one end
and multiple sata power connectors
Where's the 24pin
hot damn
we talking about sata connectors lol
thats what it should look like on the drive
Ohhh
