dang
when i first started out I was gaming on a laptop and I got myself a monitor from bestbuy
it was half worth it
since its still serving me for a long time and its length and width is the best for me
its just that the price was a bit iffy
i have a 1650x1050 monitor i got for free
150 bucks :/
my dad had some monitors that he wasn't using and I was gonna use one of em but their all busted after not being used for years
which is sucky
O.o
0.o
thats actually rlly good xd
XD
from good will right?
pretty cool idea with monitors
I made a LCD side panel for my computer, for only $5!

Monitor:...
welp looks like I'm goin there later in the weel
Then wait for colored sale days, and get a huge discount on it
if u find a super cheap monitor
nice
Its 50% off on color days, so from its usual 30-45$ price, it goes down to like 15-20$
or sometimes they just price them straight up at 15$ lol
thats a huge discount xd
thats a good deal
basically everything at goodwill is color tagged, and each day of the week, a new color is chosen, and whatever is tagged with that color is 50% off
bruh how does goodwill stay in business their just losing money putting it that low xd
That
oh yea
yes now you will have 450 dollars left over
mhm
mhm
now do note: some goodwills are different, but usually you can tell quickly
true
but all the ones around me (NY) have been like that
Just checked their website, their online auctions have 21.5 inch 1080p60 montiors for 26.5$ roughly each auctions ending, gotta keep looking for more, but definitely checkout the IRL shops
so far I dont regret joining this discord group xd
this is great for me and my friends
thanks for all the help guys
👍

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/pdvqrr would go amd but no 5600x are available
rip
aio
wha
THEY ADDED A NEW SECTION
seriously? xd
lmfo

bruuhhhhhhhhh
You just discovered GoodWIll lol
20h left in the auction
yea..
Confirmed working and tested
overprices
including overclocking
I was dumb when I first got into pcs
its a different generation @mossy plaza
Other than the AIO I don't see anything badd there
and wasted 700 bucks :<
...
20h left in auction
I mean they are good as gifts for people who don’t know about pcs they’re not too bad, but if it is for yourself it might be better to invest more time and build it yourself
I guess I'm gonna buy my parts from goodwill now
Plus you get a great feeling when the build is finished
yea xd
uhhhh
A lot more sentimental value
15 CPUs for 30$
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/110684098
Not bad
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/110778842 heres a working i7-8700k for 165$
They selling any gpus?
rest are being turned into keychains lmao
LOL
Uhh
wow
A lil old but can’t argue with the prices
pretty cool pc with a GTX 660
YO OMG
RYZEN 7 1700X for 67$
...
Ay not bad
wokjpljhkrbvkhwsvbkh .bs; havkjrsdf
THATS A CURRENTLY PRODUCED CPU WORTH LIKE 350$
send me that
nah
BRO I NEED TO GO TO GOODWILL NOW
35-
closer to 150$
yeah
1st gen ryzen $350? That’s cap
how do you know if its a working part tho?
cap
Only buy tested parts @mossy plaza
@little osprey Was going off their MSRP and like altex pages
does it say its tested or somethin?
neat
check to make sure they work
K
yeah only buy tested ones
dosent rgb boost performance like 300%
of course
lol
Reason: Bad word usage
THEY'RE SELLING A 2080
wut
I absolutely hate rgb now and everything I have is rgb xd
yall want uhhhhh
How much is that 2080
I NEED TO GO TO GOOD WILL
a huge bidding war
oh wait
thats not bad
450?
yeah but multiple days left
thats a bit over priced mabe
and people bidding it to hell
thats good
its msrp is 700$
I'll bid by adding 1 more dollar
I mean can’t find a 2080 under $700 so that will probably go up to $600-$500
ouch
https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/110711842 heres a working i7-8700k for 165$
..
is the i5 10400f a good upgrade from a i3 9100f?
duh
B)
Yeah, but if you’re gonna upgrade, you might as well go the AMD route
yea
i3 still pushing tho
Yeah that's good ram
neato
what is a good amd option over a 150 dollar i5 10400f?
throwback to when I got a working Canon DSLR with all accessories for 30$ at goodwill
does that mean it wont go onsale till after February??????
In Stock February 21st
MMMMMMMMMM
Won't ship until Feb
well I am buying the combo on newegg tho
i dont use amazon
2600x...but that is zen+ so it is not as a good as zen 2 and zen 3
The RAM
so it shouldn't be backordered right?
Not the Newegg link
ik but the ram is on newegg too
mmm
@little osprey so .......
not sure if they ship at the same time or not
why
what does that mean
Oh FFS
people have ordered it when it goes on sale
oh
-_-
-_-
lol xd
64 GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 MHz memory for 100$
lol
lol
fun fact: goodwill sells cars too
goodwill got everything
who just gives away their car for free tho???
Tax writeoff
HUGE tax writeoff
people tryna get it off their property
yeesh
All of the above
so yeah
i would go 10400f and 11th gen might drop the price on 10600k or 10700k later on
aotb
if I wanted it off my house I'd just bring it to the scrap yard
oh wait
that'd cost money
@little osprey yeah
maybe?
Like sometimes if you can't sell it or get it to sell, donate it and get the tax writeoff
what games yall play?
I play minecraft B)
-_-
i used to play halo 5
I've been playing the collection on pc with my best friend for a while now xd
XD
we finished halo reach, halo ce, and now were in halo 2 anniversary
we did reach and ce in legendary mode
i wish i could play halo but no space for it
I uh eeeee
i only got a 240gb ssd
halo 2 is tooooooooo hard to play on legendary
did i get a good deal a cooler master 240r for 50 dollars new,nib
nice
alexx wowowowoow
its easiest to just go with minecraft
I got them when humble bundle was actually good
i have like 20 or less
this doesnt come with a cooler right?
when you used to get like 500$ of triple A games for like 30$
sadly they got bought and ruined

ripppp

I only have free games or games me and my friends play
i have no free games
it does
very
5800x? not so much


same but then i realized that the i5 10400f was a better option for me
cheaper new than used 
same price as 10700k
yes
nice
nice
now hope for intel to support 11th gen on b460 or z490
dude intel 11th gen will prob be so bad

linda
not really.
will a MSI Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard work with a Sabrent 1TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD Maximum Performance Solid State Drive (SB-ROCKET-NVMe4-1TB) and is there a better ssd i could be getting?
since its a combo and it has some pretty good ram
The Sabrent Rocket is the fastest SSD for commercial/consumer user iirc
@little osprey it had the same performance as the i9 10900k
It's a Z390 MB though
is it compatable with that motherboard?
and yes that ssd fits a z390
can you link a source?
It's compatible
But it won't run at PCI-E 4 speeds
That mobo is PCI-E 3.0
So just get the regular Sabrent
hold on
alright
plus i9 11900k is 2 cores less than 10900k
because intel is experimenting on new stuff i believe
and it's only scale to 8 cores on the perf boost
I'm sad.
multiple times
im in canada it doesnt ship to me could u send a different one?
They'll catch up soon enough
AMD has been clawing market share away from Intel for years iirc
intel didn't prepare for amd at all so..
Nope, they didn't
They got confident resting on their laurels
Thinking AMD was in a shambles. They weren't wrong for a while
Ryzen has joined the chat
AMD pulled a rabbit out of a hat
9th gen in the distance
also yeah, it's incredible how amd quickly catch up to intel
Intel blew a 76% lead in market share
Last time AMD was on top was the 64 bit CPU's
I bought one of the first ones
Dual core 64 bit CPU
ah yes
FX
the cpu series that nearly killed AMD
it was because of her lisa su
In terms of Desktop market share, in 2006, Intel pulled massively ahead, growing to a 76.5% to 23.4% lead by 2017, then in just 3 years fell to be almost exactly even with AMD
I'm thinkin a 3060 ti or maybe a radeon 5700xt
Intel only has 51.4% market share as of the last quarter
3060 ti is better
hmmm
2009 lol
ik but its not always in stock :/
hmmmmmmmmm
for 1440, 3060TI as well as long as its not cyberpunk LMAO
That too
I mean a 3070 would probably better suit anyway but a 3060ti will get the job done
nah I wanna try playing some good ol vr games and some other stuff
I always wanted to check out some vr horror games
btw, would be really nice if VR games implemented DLSS
those are pretty cool
oh yeah
forgotten about that
oh
ew
adorama
a 3060 ti over dere
have at it busters
well if you want it
I'm probably gonna down grade my pc I have now to work with the pc I'm tryna build
so I'll probably buy a cheap power supply and a smaller case for it
sold out
cheap psus are a no no
if you buy a cheap cpu you might as well light a candle in your pc
don't do that.
What Jake said
a cheap psu could kill your parts
I mean, that's really extreme
sorry
I'm gonna downgrade the pc I have now and use the parts that I want to keep for my pc im tryna build xd
also cheaping out on PSU should never be a option
Most likely it'll just quit
yeah
id recommend a rm650x for those parts
but it happens
corsair
EVGA PSUs are also good

by cheap psu I mean like a 450 watt one
what psu do you have rn?
PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.6 Last Update: 29-11-2020 Gray - EoL / obsolete. Generally not recommended for purchase since its going to be pre-owned, refurbished or old stock. Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs) Gold - best units in the tier (...
would this have any prob running cyberpunk / future games of that caliber?
which is one I could use in my new build ima make
id get 3600mhz ram
For sure
I want to pretty much move all my bad parts into a new case so then I can give it to my dad and he can give me some cash for it
amd likes 3600mhz
that's a great PC build
3600 CL16
Don't hamstring the 5950x
workstation?
yeah but which 500w
what cpu cooler ya looking at for it
a bad 500w is more dangerous than a good/reputable 1000w
gotchaa, yeah its for gaming / graphic design
and vice versa
^
TRUE
whats that psu btw
That seems like a prebuilt spec
this is the full config
inquire into the PSU
im not rlly sure about this but this is like a rough draft xd
brand/model/etc
@broken umbra could u send one from newegg pls?
@cunning delta yeah sure
thanks
Ye
for Canada
yeah it should be fine
Only the Rocket Q which is like 300-400$
thats the only good one?
yeah it is ; I have a build on the side but alot of parts are sold out
aio and psu only sketch things
external drive on a desktop? 🤔
on that list
shuck the drive LOL
that case is good tho
slam it in there
but you also have to do something with the connector
like cover a pin or something
yeah, you have to electric tape 2 pins
cant remember
I noticed though when I get a higher DDR4 speed the latency usually goes up; so in the end it seems like its similar
does this Western Digital WD BLACK SN750 NVMe M.2 2280 1TB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 64-layer 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS100T3X0C work with a z390 mobo
since I want to downgrade the pc I have now when I get the parts I want to use so then I can turn it into separate pcs since the case I have rn and the psu is something I can use in my pc I'm tryna make
it should as long as you have an m.2 slot
I recommend the sn750
its good
Price vs the Sabrent?
like this looks good but it has the highest latency of the cards, not sure if that matters or if 3600 would just be a better option
every ssd and hdd should work aslong you have the right connectors(sata, M2)
they make a 3600C16 variant of that
or you could get 2 sets of 2x32gb
The SN750 is roughly the same price as the sabrent rocket
if u need 64gb
ok now brb for shower
cya
Fair enough
yeah im going full send 128 gb 4x 32 gb
WiFI?
https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-64gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820374061? @brittle ore holy heck its expensive but here it is
ATX/ITX/MATX
3600C16
wha
What motherboard format?
wdym?
oh ATX
good god lol just found those too... is that review bs or you think it will hold up nice?
how much are the 3600c18 set
Well, I'm an X570 guy so....ASUS TUF WiFI X570. $189 for a good mobo
Do you have a current Ryzen CPU?
nope but I'm building a ryzen build
Cuz that's gonna be hard to do, most boards require a BIOS update for 5000 series and boards in that price range don't have BIOS flashback
:/
Won't be an issue in a couple months
because the boards will have the new BIOS. Exisiting stock does not
well whats the cheapest you've found?
You gotta remember
hm?
I'm suprised I was able to understand the build I was making with ur help and everyone else
THAT WILL DO
you scared me when you were talking about how everything was expensive
I thought I was gonna have to pay alot more then this
thanks
:>
YW
I didn't say it was expensive. I said you didn't give me a budget number
So I went with what I use and like
I'll ask next time 😉
Comparable to $250 or more expensive boards feature wise
...
Overclocks well too
im gonna be broke after making this pc
thats nice
I mean, you just built your buddy a $500 gaming pc so
yup...
Pick a number and build it
and mines gonna be more expensive...
number = price
Don't remember exactly
I upgrade in pieces though
CPU/MB one year
GPU another year
oh
Looks/airflow/water cooling
ohhh
ok
I always kinda wanted to try out water cooling but it costs more and you have to maintain it more
oh
Last 6-7 years
hmm
DIY stuff you should change coolant at least once a year.
They aren't completely sealed
aios have little maintenance
only maintenance prolly is actually cleaning the rad
for dust
well uh for my build the part that gets kinda confusing is that I kinda want to try and buy a smaller case and maybe a lower watt psu for the pc I have rn
Fairly affordable compared to a full custom loop
but thats when I actually start building my full on pc
thats why i want to switch out all the parts into a tinier case
id recommend the coolermaster mb311L
its pretty nice for a Matx case
and cheaper and comes with fans
hmmm ok
Well
I'll keep that in mind
seriously?
yep
Of course
small boards work just as fine
They may not have as many USB or SATA ports but yeah
well the motherboard I have rn is a intel B75 so im not so sure xd but maybe
Little bit
mhm
but you can use the new case you buy
hmm yea
alright yea I guess I'll do that
I was just thinking I should use my ATX case since I kinda want a 3060 ti or something similar
and idk if it will fit in a smaller case
You can put a 3060TI in an MATX case
huh
Just size it properly
weird
With decent airflow
JayZ just had a video of an Origin PC Giveaway with a 3080 in an MATX case lol
Thermals were horrible but it works
and a 5950X I think
On a 120mm AIO which got a bit warm
hm
Yours would be fine in an M-ATX case with decent airflow
just ask here about it when you're ready
Or cases and PSU channel
yea hmm
TOo many options
oh wait ur talking about having the parts I have rn into a tinier case yea yea
wait are you?
fack my life
then putting my new parts into the case I have rn
mhm
That works too
well i thought I'd need a bigger mobo for the ryzen 5
I could always do a tinier one
Yes, you could
I was mostly just thinking of using the big ATX case since the gpu would be big
and I wanted to keep thermals good
3060 TI isn't that big
r/sffpc
Well, it's 10 inches long but can fit in an MATX case
Food for thought
I feel like I'm having a cramp in my brain xd
also computer recycling plants and landfills
wha?
ohhhh
$60
really easy to build in
It ain't bad
oh yea thats pretty much as big as the case I have rn
it looks nice too
It does
And good airflow, mesh front
Even has room for radiators if you want to step up to water
yep and has room for thicc gpus
I think I blew the poor kids brain
What I'm saying is, the parts you want can come in a small package, that's all
uhh yea
ok so what I'll probably do is just egt all my parts together then
oh god
wait
now i'm thinking of my storage
watch a lot of youtube videos on computers before doing anything
and if I can move that to
thats my biggest tech tip
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
nice...
TRUE LOL
lemme just come up with a list of parts i'll need first...
and also thats locking you onto a dead platform lg1151
brb
The case I posted has room for 4 drives, 2 3.5" and 2 2.5"
on the nose actually
it's a auction so meh...
oh yea so all i'd need is a new case and a new psu and then I can just come up with parts after that
8700k for 155
at that point id just get a i5 10400
True
tbh I'm tempted to jump ship to AMD
Prices tho
if you can get an amd chip tho
amd is hurtin my brain rn..

intel.has kinda of good value chips rn
10700k, 10400, 10100
Lol when Intel becomes budget
Right?
10600k is still kinda meh for the price
Last time I saw that happen was 2009
same for 10300 & 10600
however 5600x, 10700k, 10400f is absolute poggers rn
literally the best value CPUs
so with my other stuff I added this on since I already have a psu and a case so this stuff will be there to let me switch out stuff or something
whats the wattage I should have for it tho ;/
600W or more
lol
No
Here's a reference list
PSU Tier List 4.0 rev. 14.6 Last Update: 29-11-2020 Gray - EoL / obsolete. Generally not recommended for purchase since its going to be pre-owned, refurbished or old stock. Green - small form-factor (gold and blue colors are disregarded due to scarcity of SFX PSUs) Gold - best units in the tier (...
That PSU is rated Tier E - Potentially Dangerous
..
Try Tier C or better
ah
:/
right as I thought I found a good one
ITS A 450 WATT
OHHHH
I THINK I FOUND ONE
lemme seeeee
Got an RMx 850w from corsair
Don’t see it in the list
Or maybe I don’t know how to read it

my brain is just breaking as I'm reading this
well
this is what I have so far
the case is for transfering the other pc stuff into it
the uh psu is for the gpu
agh
my brain hurts
and I have to wake up at 10am
yea im out gn everyone
imo that case kinda sucks ass
Hmmmmmmm looks like ill be changing it tomorrow
my usbs and monitor etc isn't getting any power but the fans are spinning and the rgb are on for everything can anyone help?
Show a pic
Of the cables in the mobo
And by usbs do you mean the case io or the rear mobo io?
that case does suck
sucks ass, even
15% of the front is holes
rosewill case time
rest is just metal
@little osprey both
if u were looking for rgb fans this case is literally $5 more than a fan pack
Rmx 850w is good and on the list
my usbs and monitor etc isn't getting any power but the fans are spinning and the rgb are on for everything can anyone help?
Motherboard/cpu ?
@glossy bay me?
The monitor should be powered by a separate cord and not through the computer
Yeah the name of the motherboard and cpu
Did you flash the bios
how do i do that
So the b550 didn't naturally work with the 5000 series CPUs. A recent bios version allows them to work together, but you have no real way of knowing if you got a super recently made board or not
But first let's go over the other troubleshooting steps
The monitor, do you have both a power cable in it and a video cable that is running to your gpu
yes
Can you turn the monitor on even if it isn't getting signal
yes
And is it on the right input
yes
it's not only for monitor
it's for keyboard and mouse etc
i tried cheating my phone on it and it didn't work
Yeah just doing it separate because it could be different issues or the same
alr
You have the power supply on, seen by the lights
Do you have the 24pin mobo connector firmly seater on the psu side and the motherboard aide
yes
Do you have as many of the cpu power connectors in the motherboard as it has
8 pin connectors
That doesn't ways mean you have everything you need if it didn't come with enough
Filling the mobo connectors is more important than using all cables
o alr
its so funny when ppl get modular psus and then just use all the cables
Did you connect power to the gpu (if it has 2 power slots, using 2 different cables, not one two ended cable)
o that's why
Maybe
is there a difference?
What gpu
3070 asus dual
Yeah two cables let's it carry twice the power before it trips
May or may not be the issue but is recommended best practice
we're helping you today so try today maybe
it's 3 am
Other things to do : fully remove the front panel connections and replace them paying careful attention to what pins and polarity are where
Make sure you actually press power on on the case
^^
the front panel connections are the little ones right
See if when it powers up it lights up an 8 segment display or an error led with a code from your mobo manual
alr
i don't see my hdd
Your manual will tell you what is where
how would i know if it's 2 pins
The manual
which way to face it
The manual says what has a positive and negative polarity
alr
If it doesn't have a polarity it doesn't matter
ok
Honestly leave everything but the power switch 2 pin off for the easiest test
Just that one 2 pin plug on the connector will be enough to start up
yea
Then press the cases startup
Look at whatever your manual has for error reporting (8 segment or an led or maybe it beeps, in which case you need to make sure your speaker pins are plugged in)
i don't think i have speaker pins
Other options can be remove all but one piece of ram in whatever your mobo says is the first slot to put stuff (usually 2nd slot from.left in a 4 slot kotherboard
You have the b550 pro.from tuf?
o mb it's plus
