Yeah...no

#

I use a 780ti and can't even play valorant

fossil cedar
#

Dear god no

little osprey
#

Cap

#

Alright bruh

#

Cya

#

@runic sandal delete, format, new

muted patio
#

You need to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to make the USB and choose GPT as partition type when you format the disk

runic sandal
#

I have no way to format it as far as I know

muted patio
#

During the windows install you can choose the partition type if it's a fresh install

#

Needs to be GPT

little osprey
#

There should be option called format

runic sandal
#

I will look

little osprey
#

Alright

#

How about I buy a i3 10100 pre built from acer, and put a gpu into that later

#

When the market stabilizes

#

@fossil cedar

fossil cedar
#

Meh not for 600$

little osprey
#

No no, not for 600

fossil cedar
#

And most likely no support for gpu

runic sandal
#

Ayyy it’s installing the os now

little osprey
#

Nice

runic sandal
#

Side question where can I get a cheap activation key?

muted patio
#

Ebay

little osprey
#

I've used it many times, no issues

muted patio
#

Mmmmmm

little osprey
#

Windows 10 pro for $3-$5

muted patio
#

Non-authorized key sources are a no no here :/

little osprey
#

It's a bit slow on delivery, but I always got it

fossil cedar
little osprey
#

I can send the model

#

Of the prebuilt

#

Welp back to final week of math

#

Thank god

fossil cedar
#

Btw you ain't gonna have a good time on integrated graphics

little osprey
#

I'm just tryna play csgo with my friends like I used to

fossil cedar
#

It will work just not great

coarse mesa
#

Rate?

south jewel
coarse mesa
#

Probably with a gtx 1070 used

muted patio
#

B560 instead of 460

coarse mesa
#

Its in aud

muted patio
#

Corsair CX instead of CXM

#

Otherwise it looks fine

coarse mesa
#

Hmmm

muted patio
#

The B460 MB can't handle 3200 mhz ram

#

2666 is the max with I5 processors

#

CX is higher quality than the CXM

coarse mesa
#

Ok

earnest olive
#

worth adding that 11th gen and b460 are not compatible to begin with despite the same socket

#

@muted patio @coarse mesa

#

11th gen cpus are only compatible with H470, W480, Z490, H510, B560, H570, and Z590

coarse mesa
#

Hmm

Processor
AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon RX Vega 11 Graphics

Motherboard
Gigabyte B450M DS3H V2 (AM4) Motherboard

RAM
Kingston HyperX Fury RGB 16GB (dual) DDR4 3200 CL16 HX432C16FB3AK2/16

PSU
Enermax RevoBron 750W

quick question, is this good?

earnest olive
#

psu kinda bad

#

a higher quality 500w unit would be better than that low quality 750w unit

#

don't need much wattage for a 3400g build

little osprey
placid hawk
glass elm
#

in terms of PSU, would a thermaltake smart bx1 550w work? or should i got for a CV550 or EVGA 600BR instead? I think they're all around the same price range (50-60) and all 80+ bronze but i'm not sure which one would be most reliable/least likely to accidentally kill parts

looking at something like an r5 3600/rx 580 build so yeah

muted patio
#

What parts are you running with it? I wouldn't recommend any of those TBH

#

Definitely not the BX1

#

let's see what's in your price range

glass elm
#

i'm trying to get around 550-600watts around like $50-$60

muted patio
#

Ya

glass elm
#

i think there was a corsair one around 75 but i'm not really sure if i can spend that much on the psu

muted patio
glass elm
#

out of curiosity, why do you recommend that one over the others?

muted patio
#

Quality and testing

#

We have spent a good amount of time reading reviews and tests

#

XD

glass elm
#

ah nice lol

muted patio
#

Ya

glass elm
#

thank you!

muted patio
#

Power supplies are very confusing

#

ALL of the brands have good and bad models :/

#

Can't just pick a brand and be good in the PSU world

glass elm
#

yeah sadly

#

that'd be nice though

muted patio
#

It would indeed

#

Save us all a lot of time

little osprey
#

But then everyone would buy only one psu lol

#

That's why I didn't jump on the phanteks/Lian LI case and the noctura fan band wagon

pine tinsel
#

Doing my first build and my monitor which I know works and the cables too won't detect the display can someone vc with me to help troubleshoot

little osprey
#

It's official, I hate Corsair

lyric thistle
little osprey
#

Can't get the fans RGB to turn on

#

And can't get icue to download

#

It's downloading to a non-existent drive

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

I am aware

#

Corsair has proprietary RGB headers

#

They only plug in one way

frank stirrup
#

not proprietary

#

also yeah maybe try the rgb hub

little osprey
#

What you think I'm doing?

#

And yes, proprietary, they don't use 3 pins

frank stirrup
little osprey
#

I'they don't connect to motherboard

#

Or else there wouldn't be any need for a hub

#

Of which I tried both of

#

And both sides

frank stirrup
#

did you connect the rgb hub to the psu lol?

little osprey
#

I even tried odds only and evens only for the hubs

#

Yeah

#

First thing I did

#

Might just sell em and get 3 more of the Antec fans and use the built in Antec hub

languid sundial
#

Is this bad for my build??

earnest olive
#

it's fine for a 3400g

#

a little low tier for upgrades though

#

i just hope you didn't overpay for it because it's 750w

wicked saffron
#

I’ve been saving up for a build for a while, I’ve got about a 2k budget including accessories and monitors, not looking for anything super beefy but something that’ll run games like apex, valorant, ark, etc. smoothly without needing to turn down the settings. Anybody got any recs for graphic cards and motherboard?

potent portal
#

3070/3070 ti (when it launches next month)
Most AMD B550 boards can handle a 5600X, which is more than capable for gaming.

#

Oh wait that's 2k including peripherals

#

How many monitors are you looking to get? A decent main monitor will be around $300-350 alone

slow nimbus
#

Hey guys I'm looking to get an m.2 drive for my high end build, I'm having trouble choosing a brand and model, any recommendations based on personal experience?

little osprey
#

budget?

earnest olive
#

how high end is high end

potent portal
slow nimbus
earnest olive
#

okay so good but not meme tier high end

#

1tb mushkin pilot-e

slow nimbus
#

Thanks

earnest olive
#

enjoy

potent portal
#

Just get the cheapest out of the category that says "for gamers" in the list tbh

slow nimbus
earnest olive
#

ehh he's got money

#

depending on whether or not he paid street price or retail for that 3080

#

might be a lot of money

slow nimbus
#

Retail

#

Got lucky on Newegg ahuffle

#

Shuffle*

earnest olive
#

still got the money to drop $15 on a better ssd

slow nimbus
#

Yeh, I might

potent portal
#

Fair, but that's mostly wasted potential. I guess you could look at it as future proofing for when we're streaming assets directly to gpu from storage.

slow nimbus
#

This is my first build and I got it all figured out except drives

#

I don't really understand what makes some better than others

potent portal
#

The different controllers are each better at different types of tasks

earnest olive
#

man you got a 3080 just drop the extra $15 on the better drive not like i'm recommending a 980 pro lol

potent portal
#

Some are better at sequential reads, while others are great at mixed IO

earnest olive
#

$115 is not expensive

slow nimbus
#

You know I don't really like Amazon cause they always charge taxes and im all about taxation is theft

potent portal
#

But yeah a few extra bucks is worth calling it future proofing to me

slow nimbus
#

I'm not even from the US

potent portal
#

They charge local taxes according to where you live

#

If you lived in Oregon, there's no sales tax

slow nimbus
#

I have an address in Miami where I get shipped all my stuff and it always gets taxed on amazon

#

Not on Newegg tho

tight sorrel

earnest olive
#

yeah not bad at all then

shell bobcat
#

will DDR3 Ram work with B560M-A?

lyric thistle
#

no lmfao

frank stirrup
shell bobcat
#

ram is still on the way 😩

frank stirrup
#

It wont even fit the slot lmao

shell bobcat
#

lel okay ty

little osprey
#

@tight sorrel yeah

little osprey
lyric thistle
#

rip

shell bobcat
#

i got a B560M With I5-11400

#

But still waiting for the ram

tight sorrel
# little osprey <@404674655463538688> yeah

I have the same set. The cabling is PITA.

  1. Each fan has 2 cables, 1 to the power module, 1 to the RGB module
  2. 2 modules, each with SATA power
  3. Connection between modules
  4. USB connection from 1 module to your motherboard USB 2 header
#

make sure all of that is connected

little osprey
#

I have

#

Fans are plugged into motherboard for fan power, and the RGB hub for the RGB power
The hub is plugged into the PSU sata port and the other box which is also plugged into a PSU sata port and the motherboard USB port

#

I'm going to try swapping them with my sp120s

#

If that doesn't work, I'll bring em to a shop ik and sell/trade em

#

Should I get another one of the PSU sata cable lengths just for the RGB?

#

Too much power draw for rgb and then a Sata SSD?

tight sorrel
#

I dont think you need to worry about oo much power draw. RGB and fans dont pull much, comparatively

little osprey
#

Or well....SSD and then the rgb

tight sorrel
#

are the fans not spinning at all? or are the light just not working?

#

its actually a great build however some things you can change

wheat coral
#

Looks pretty nice actually

muted patio
#

Ya, it does

wheat coral
#

I’d get more storage though

#

2tb gonna run out fast if you’re editing

summer wing
#

hm

#

4tb?

static ravine
#

maybe get a 4tb hard drive instead

summer wing
#

84$ pretty nice

#

i found the i9-10850k for 330$ which was awesome

static ravine
#

330 is the average microcenter price but for that processor its pretty great

summer wing
#

the ram isnt exactly what im gonna get since ram prices are all over the place

static ravine
#

ballistix is good ram tho

summer wing
#

im hoping at 150$ or below for 3200 speed cl16

static ravine
#

you might have to wait a bit for that to happen

summer wing
#

newegg be looking good though with their mail in rebates im doing

#

I got a total of 150$ off from 3 products for my pc

muted patio
#

Ya, just don't forget to do them XD

summer wing
#

I sent them in and they sent back saying My receit wanst good and now im tryna fix it

lyric thistle
#

I couldn't do my evga rebate because they didn't send me the form peepoSadSip

summer wing
#

u get the form from the website

#

print it

lyric thistle
#

nope

summer wing
#

i got nr600 for 50$, 3 enermax fans for 30$, and the 360m aio for 100$

#

im just exicted mostly about the 1tb ssd

#

Im on a 500gb now and ran out of space

#

also i think my hard drive is broken

#

its really loud.

Been slowly acquiring parts for my first build in 20 years. Flip-flopping between this build (I just noticed I changed the RX 6800 to a 5700 XT), or downgrading to something more budget friendly like a Ryzen 5 5600X/RX 5700XT combo. Storage can be tweaked, though I'd love to ditch platter drives. Fan setup would have the AIO run top slot exhaust, 120 rear exhaust, and either triple 120s or dual 140s in front. So, if it's not too much trouble, could I get drive recommendations? (500GB-1TB boot, 1TB M2 game drive, 2TB+ SATA for games/archive/etc.) Also, when it comes to the fan setup, which would work best with my case constraints? (There's an option to mount a bottom intake, but I've already had people convince me that's a bad idea.) Feel free to bash while I go fetch more coffee.

# severe relic Been slowly acquiring parts for my first build in 20 years. Flip-flopping betwee...

What do you need 64 GB of ram for? If you're not rendering or doing anything like that, 32 GB more than sufficient.
Gen 4 drives aren't needed, you won't notice between gen 3 or 4 so save some money there. Mushkin Pilot E 1TB is a good Gen 3 drive, SK Hynix P31 Gold if you want something that will outperform Gen 4 drives in Random IO (day to day stuff)
Could also save a bit more on the PSU with an Enermax Revolution DF 850W. 5700XT is a last gen GPU and not made anymore, near as I can tell. Shoot for a newer one.
EK 240MM RGB AIO will also save you $30
Toshiba X300 4 TB for large storage platter drive.

severe relic
#

64 was slapped in because I've got a prospective seller for 4*16 at $300. Chances are if that doesn't pan out, I'll be happy with 32. (Forgot I'd spec'd that in as well.) As for the GPU, I'm chomping at the bit to grab a 6800 from AMD directly.

sn750 sucks

mental steeple
#

until its off sale

#

and it goes back to being priced like garbage

fossil cedar
lyric thistle
#

Probably fine

#

I wouldn't want one but it's still probably fine

fossil cedar
#

Yeah doesn't it only have a certain amount of read and write before it goes to 💩

mental steeple
mental steeple
#

the 670P is fairly strong at sustained sequential for a QLC drive

#

it's almost pilot-E level performance

#

let me re-iterate that to

fossil cedar
#

Ohh fair enough

mental steeple
#

its sustained sequential performance resembles something more like a burst optimized SM2262EN TLC drive (while being slightly worse)

#

and it's fairly strong in random mixed IO at light que depth

#

also lol

#

ssd endurance doesnt matter, it's going to outlast its TBW, and the average user isn't going to reach that TBW "limit" unless they are farming that dumb new crypto

fossil cedar
#

Okay i see thanks windshields

mental steeple
#

no problem my gamer

summer wing
#

what is the smallest case thats reasonable to build in. no gpu. using igpu with a i5-11600k for my dads pc he uses adobe

fossil cedar
#

For video editing you'd want a dgpu

#

Also smaller cases are usually more expensive if you're talking about itx

rich helm
fossil cedar
#

Raspberry pi isn't even a case tho lol it's a whole kit

summer wing
#

video editing

fossil cedar
summer wing
#

is there any small gpus that can improve the quality?

#

like having a gpu would be nice but i wanna make sure it fits in a smaller matx case

fossil cedar
#

get a 10700/10900 and a b560 instead or a 10700k/10850k and a z490/z590

#

You can fit gpus in matx cases just fine

#

But the thing is getting a gpu

rich helm
#

What is the budget

summer wing
#

around 1000$ budget

fossil cedar
#

What that should have a 3060 in there

summer wing
#

expect gpu to be msrp okey?

#

pretend

fossil cedar
#

You can add the 3060 in when you get but you should budget 400 for a 3060 imo

#

Or if not gpu then will you be overclocking cpu?

summer wing
#

NO OVERCLOCKING

#

No rgb

fossil cedar
#

Then don't get a 11600k

summer wing
#

the only thing that needs to look good is the outside case

#

11600

fossil cedar
#

No 11600 non k

#

Just 11400

#

Or 11500

summer wing
#

i found a 11600k for 239$

fossil cedar
summer wing
#

microcenter

fossil cedar
#

Ahh

summer wing
#

then i can get any motherboard they got for 20$ less

fossil cedar
#

If you're adding a GPU that's okay

fossil cedar
summer wing
#

they got 3 b560 mobos

#

all about 190$ with the coupon

fossil cedar
#

Will you be adding the gpu or no btw?

summer wing
#

i dunno

fossil cedar
#

Not good deal

summer wing
#

they got 1 b560 mobo

#

nvm

fossil cedar
#

K cpus and z boards are only needed for overclocking

summer wing
#

Gigabyte B560 AORUS PRO AX Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard

fossil cedar
#

It's not matx tho

summer wing
#

well the k cpu is cheaper than the non k i

rich helm
#

But 300 over budget

fossil cedar
#

Why not 10700

rich helm
#

The igpu in 11th gen has something that helps with encoding

summer wing
#

10700k is 269.99

#

usd

dense oriole
#

so for those that were helping me out yesterday, the cheap psu arrived about an hour ago... ive had to downgrade to my 1050ti because it didnt have enough connections for my 1080ti 😦 but atleast my pc is now working and also trying to contact evga via the phone is impossible, ive been on hold all afternoon to the different departments... still waiting on an email back

rich helm
#

So if you don’t have gpu

fossil cedar
summer wing
#

brb

fossil cedar
#

Mb try 3200cl16 ram

fossil cedar
#

No point in calling if you get through it might create confusion cuz you would have called and emailed but sure

rich helm
#

Hmm Idk I think this is the lowest I would recommend for any decent video editing

#

If just 1080p light editing maybe less

fossil cedar
#

You can knock 50 off cpu price since mc sells for like 230

rich helm
#

Rip 60 of mail in rebates

fossil cedar
rich helm
#

Yeah and case

fossil cedar
#

Oof

#

I was like why not go msi mpg but it dont accept atx psu ahh

fossil cedar
#

Save 5$ on cooler cus they don't care bout looks

rich helm
#

True

fossil cedar
#

More storage would be more useful cuz editing

rich helm
#

Hmm maybe throw in p12

fossil cedar
#

P12?

#

Fan?

rich helm
#

Actually nvm

#

It probably doesn’t matter

fossil cedar
#

It should be fine

rich helm
#

I think you can really only have one intake one exhaust

fossil cedar
#

Actually is there any matx cases might be able to save a bit?

#

Probs not

#

At that price

rich helm
#

Going to be large

#

Yeah

fossil cedar
#

Yeah

#

Damm cuz i was like 50$ segotep 600w would save like 40$

rich helm
#

I think the cheapest decent one I know is versa h18 is like 50 or something

fossil cedar
#

Hmm

#

Might be worth the swap

rich helm
#

But it’s close to mid atx size

fossil cedar
#

Oh

#

They might not mind that too much lets see

rich helm
#

I’ve used that case, I’ve also used mb311l

fossil cedar
#

@summer wing do you mind matx? Might help us bring down the price a bit

rich helm
#

Hmm there’s that cheap cooler master case that’s absolutely horrid to work in

#

It is smaller tho

I am still of the opinion that you can't go wrong with 512gb ssd and a 2TB hdd

fossil cedar

3600cl16 ballistix

#

I'd go pilot e ssd

#

Enermax revolution df 750w psu

rich helm
viral ore
#

that's why you get an HDD as well

stuck sonnet
#

For storage I can always add later no?

rich helm

Yeah I need to move hdd from old pc

viral ore

my 512gb has loads of free space

viral ore
#

easier to get the best option now

stuck sonnet
#

True

viral ore
#

I'm not too familiar with ram prices atm, I heard they going up tho, but generally, Corsair ram bad

how about the case tho, 140 is kinda pricy for a basic looking phanteks case

fossil cedar
#

P500a is pretty good

viral ore
#

also I'm not sure if that's the mesh front or not

fossil cedar
#

I'd do td500 mesh tho

viral ore

I know the p400a had a mesh option

#

yeah, everyone loves the td500 lol

stuck sonnet
#

Cool master right?

#

Yea I was actually up in the air between this one and the td500 mesh

fossil cedar

Think it's cooler master that make td 500 mesh yeah

#

Td500 mesh is Chef_Kiss

#

You can top mount a 360 in it

Ohhh

summer wing

Haven't heard much of anything about them

fossil cedar

It's on the same platform as corsair rmx iirc

Is very epic

Going to do my second h18 build sometime soon

#

Have the case sitting in my living room

lyric thistle
#

Nice

#

It's probably gonna be a while before I get around to building ssadge

summer wing
#

so about the matx video editing pc

#

what case should me use?

lyric thistle
#

option 1 I save money all around and transfer everything I can from Lenovo computer and my 970, option 2 I buy new mobo cpu ram and drive

fossil cedar
#

That

viral ore
#

this

#

am curious on board choice tho

fossil cedar
#

They wanted small WiFi board

viral ore
#

I assume he needs wifi,

fossil cedar
#

Ye

viral ore
#

yeah

fossil cedar
#

Would have went matx board if not

viral ore
#

could opt for a cheap matx plus pcie wifi card

fossil cedar
#

Not really

#

Hdv is like 80 or 90

#

So not saving much

summer wing
#

11600k is the same price as a 10700k what would be better

#

11th gen has better igpu

viral ore
#

depends on the number of cores you need

summer wing
#

its a hobby not a job

viral ore
#

is 6/12 enough, or would you benefit from 8/16

summer wing
#

not me

#

my father

#

just his old apple desktop right now its very slow

#

loading pages

#

opening imovie

#

everything slow

viral ore
#

11600k would be fine

fossil cedar
viral ore
#

don't think the extra 2 cores would make a difference

fossil cedar
#

Well i think they'll be using with no dgpu for a while so?

summer wing
#

11th gen igpu would come in handy

fossil cedar
#

But 2 more cores would come in handier no?

summer wing
#

not really

amber basin
#

for gaming nah

summer wing
#

look at the apple desktops from like 2014

#

thats what he has

#

we just need it to load faster and perform fine at 1080p-1440p video editing

#

monitor will probably be a 1440p one

fossil cedar
viral ore
#

I think the 11600k would be alright for that

summer wing
#

its for mostly work and some hobby video editing

#

eyy im a regular

lyric thistle

#

I would go 10700 but up to you i suppose

#

Nah

#

3600 gets beat by 10400

#

And no igpu on Ryzen

summer wing
#

or a 3700x for 279$

#

then we will get a gpu upon building

fossil cedar
#

Nah

#

Intel beats

summer wing
#

included cooler so save another 40ish$

fossil cedar
#

230 for 10700

#

Nah you'd need a better cooler

summer wing
#

really?

#

wraith prisms not enough?

#

mobo would also be higher quality for less cost

fossil cedar
#

It would do in a pinch but would not let the cpu boost properly

#

And looses to 10700 in perf

summer wing
#

from microcenter i can get the 3700x and Gigabyte B550M Aorus Pro-P for 400$ total

fossil cedar
viral ore
#

that's terrible

fossil cedar
#

Yesh

summer wing
#

really? a 3700x at 279$?

fossil cedar
#

Bad

viral ore
#

11600k is like 260

fossil cedar
#

3700x is worse than 10700

summer wing
#

ok fine

fossil cedar
#

And 10700 cheaper

#

And worse in single core than 11600k

#

And that's a also cheaper lol

#

Also that board doesn't have WiFi

summer wing
#

10700 at 250$

#

is the ASUS H570-PLUS prime mobo for 119$ good?

fossil cedar
#

No

#

10700 by itself at 230 better

summer wing
#

where do u find it for 230$?

fossil cedar
#

And mobo is bleh and no wiif

#

Isn't it 230 at mc?

summer wing
#

250$

fossil cedar
#

250?

#

Ohh

#

That mobo is meh tbh and no wifi

summer wing
#

they do the deal too where its 20$ off when u buy a mobo

fossil cedar
#

Lemme see if they have any decent mobo

summer wing
#

barely any wifi ones

#

B560M-PLUS TUF Gaming Wifi for 139.99

fossil cedar
#

Yeah but the one b560m tuf is 150 on their site?

#

But that's a good mobo yeah

#

Not much extra over the b560 mini itx tho

#

But i guess you're getting for 130 so ntb

#

The other one is 20$ cheaper even with the 20$ discount

also btw at a 2000$ budget what are a couple of cpu gpu combos? USD

So 2k is for gaming pc?

ye

What do you already have?

summer wing
#

i7-9700k RTX 2060

fossil cedar
#

What are you keeping anyway

#

I would recommend keeping gpu

summer wing
#

well the gpus going to my brother

#

im selling him my pc

#

the plan is if i dont find a gpu ill just borrow the 2060 until i can find one

rose jackal
#

already late to sell the gpu

summer wing
#

wdym

fossil cedar
summer wing
#

just whatsa good gpu cpu combo for 2000$

fossil cedar
#

5900x

summer wing
#

i already have a 360m aio

fossil cedar
#

What 360?

summer wing
#

Enermax

#

Aquafusion

fossil cedar
#

Should be okay

summer wing
#

i guess the aorus elite mobo would be a good combo when its 144$

#

i dont need wifi

#

if u think of any better for a price like that lmk

#

also an ssd. im thinking of using the Mushkin Pilot-E 1 TB

modest vortex

ram & gpu are not included since their prices are wonky

fossil cedar

i bought it already

fossil cedar
#

Ahh okay

summer wing
#

bought

fossil cedar
#

How much ram you want?

summer wing
#

since ram can be upgraded easily i think ill do 16 (2x8)

#

im on 16 now and dont have problems

#

some times i even play r6 siege and photoshop at the same time

#

non rbg

#

since ill be diying the case

#

itll look better and youll barely see inside

fossil cedar
#

What speed is your ram?

#

Because 3600cl16 is really what you want with ryzen 5000

summer wing
#

well ill buy new ram

#

everything is gonna be newly bought

#

soo dont worry about what i got now

#

do the timings on ram really effect your performance?

cheapest 3600 ram and really good timings and overclock ability

stark yacht
#

anyone want to help me spend $6000 to build a Solidworks machine?

urban trellis
#

Maybe a 32 core threadripper and a Quadro 4000

stark yacht
#

No worries! I have a couple days to finish the proposals

urban trellis
#

And like 128 gb ram

stark yacht
#

I was thinking the i9 11900k with 64gb ram. backed by a 1200w psu and a quadro rtx5000 video card

#

and a pair of Samsung 870 QVO's @ 4tb each in raid...

urban trellis
stark yacht
#

The setup is a stand alone SolidWorks unit

urban trellis
#

Oh

stark yacht
#

Everything is going to be done on that one machine so I need to pack as much "future proofing" into it as I can.

urban trellis
#

If the work station is going to be used for cpu intensive tasks then u might wanna get a better cpu

urban trellis
#

Then don't go i9 cuz its 14 nm

stark yacht
#

?

#

esplain?

urban trellis
#

Idk that much about work stations but I'm pretty sure 16 core or 24 core processors will be good

fossil cedar
stark yacht
#

PugetSystems has a break down of recomended hardware for SolidWorks. However, I am not familure with the application... so I come to yall to get answers...

rich helm
#

Yes it’s very cpu intensive

fossil cedar
#

you could go threadripper actually

#

but 5950x imo

#

because 16 cores should be okay

rich helm
rich helm
summer wing
#

did u just set everything to most expensive

Since the stuff I saw showed that cpu is the heaviest limiter

Is there a tool to simulate a benchmark test using specific software?

@little osprey you might be able to land a 3070 prebuilt but would be hard pressed

It's easier to get a prebuilt with a better card because they are actually in stock

System is for gaming?

#

If so what res?

meager saffron

Yes for gaming, Idk what res, I currently have a laptop, never had anything more

neon condor
#

Ok

#

Well if you have a choice I recommend 1440P resolution.

meager saffron
#

Do I need to change anytrhing to get that?

neon condor
#

Not really

meager saffron
#

I am new to PC building, the most frames on average I get is 8 frames.

#

But is it an ok build?

neon condor
#

Swap the CPU with something like 10600K.

#

Maybe a 10400 if you want to save money and you don't want to overclock.

#

You could also go 11th gen and go with 11400.

meager saffron
#

would i overclock with the 10600k?

neon condor
#

If you wanted.

meager saffron
#

i wouldnt want to overclock anything

ripe wedge
#

ill make a list hold on

#

whats your budget

meager saffron
#

i have a list rn, just seeing if it was okay

neon condor
#

Yeah 10400 or 11400 is good to save money if you're not overclocking.

ripe wedge
#

its not

#

its horrible

neon condor
#

It's not at all.

#

It's bad.

meager saffron
#

oh

#

$1500 MAX, around $1100-$1200

ripe wedge
#

I think a prebuilt would be best for you

meager saffron
#

no RGB, only requirement

ripe wedge
#

gpus are super hard to get rn

meager saffron
#

i dont want the RGB tho

ripe wedge
#

just turn it off?

neon condor

Yes prebuilt is fine.

meager saffron
#

any good prebuilts?

ez

ripe wedge
meager saffron

bc it'd be a few months before i got it

#

ah

meager saffron
#

why i was looking at building my own bc i could buy part by part

#

but if its bad

neon condor
#

Prebuilt is a good option for beginners you can learn from how the prebuilt is built.
And in the future they are usually upgradable when you're ready to start getting in to PC building more as you learn.

p_yzr#9999 has been warned

its pretty decent and gives you some room in budget to get a nice monitor

If my graphics card I'm getting requires 1 6 pin and 1 8 pin, and my power supply only had 2 6+2 pin cables, then I can't use that psu right?

#

How?

ripe wedge
#

just use the 6 pin part on one and the 6+2 on the other slot

#

and it works fine

we are serious here

or most people are

#

I dont recommend seagate too much but

#

they have a cheap drive so its fine for a mass storage/game drive but dont count on it for long term reliability

#

lemme see if I can find the WD blue 2TB 7200rpm

#

id recommend this over that @meager saffron

neon condor
#

WD much better than Seagate.

#

I've seen many Seagate drives die.

#

WD drives in my experience last longer.

ripe wedge
#

^

#

seagate unreliable basically

meager saffron
#

ty

neon condor
#

Back at my old job I used to take apart hundreds of Dell rebuilt optiplex desktops and it was always Seagate failing.

#

Well it has a 3060.

#

That's more or less what you're paying a little extra for.

meager saffron
#

this second one says it has 5gb wifi capabilities

#

i cant spell today

neon condor
#

Speel

ripe wedge
#

unless u need more cores

#

if ur just gaming just get the one with the 10400

meager saffron
#

may i ask what cores do/or for

ripe wedge
#

I mean more cores help with like video editing or streaming

#

but like 6 core cpu like that 10400 can handle it fine but if you are doing more professionally it would be better to have more cores

meager saffron
#

i mean in time it would be my work and personal pc

#

ok ty a lot, i very much appreciate it

ripe wedge
#

lemme look at this other website real quick and see if its better value

#

and no problem

meager saffron
#

now i just have to tell my friend the build he made is bad Laugh

ripe wedge
#

id recommend getting a high refresh monitor if you dont already have one

meager saffron
#

i dont have a monitor

#

any reccomendations?

ripe wedge
#

ah then maybe you could go with the 10400 /3060 one and put that $200 towards a monitor

#

as of right now I think the best value is this one. (one sec grabbing link)

meager saffron
#

I just got my first job so all this stuff is awaze out

ripe wedge
#

aa im looking for it but the one I found was open box so thats no good

#

open box can be fine sometimes but I wouldnt personally

meager saffron
#

i dont trust them and usually warranty isnt effective

ripe wedge
neon condor
#

Sale right now.

#

$300

ripe wedge
#

either of those

#

I dont like that that one is 32 inch

#

27 inch is sweet spot imo

neon condor
#

32 best more immersion.

ripe wedge
#

eh

neon condor
#

And it's curved.

ripe wedge
#

also curve

neon condor
ripe wedge
#

curve is meh

meager saffron
#

i know you guys are being really helpful, but are there thats any cheaper? or is that about what they run for

neon condor
#

There's hundreds of monitors.

ripe wedge
#

I mean those are just the best value right now to pair with your system

neon condor
#

Yes

ripe wedge
#

I have another thats like $160 rn I think but its 1080p

neon condor
#

🤢

meager saffron
#

im not a heavy heavy gamer

ripe wedge
#

its a lot smaller

#

yeah true but a 1440p monitor is a lot better imo

#

to pair with that system

meager saffron
#

i currently have 15" laptop so anythings better than this

ripe wedge
#

24 inch is too small imo

fossil cedar
#

I think 24 is nice size
