nice
can't return the case but I can return the mobo
also this setup is so scuffed rn
like i cant alt f4 it to power down
I was too lazy to unscrew the old cooler
and its not running
you what to power down
that doesn't look too scuffed, looks like my work
that aio on the top is not connected to anything
shutdown through windows
ahh I'm so happy
not even
where do i open admin cmd
windows search - CMD - right click run as admin
I'm about to buy these parts, does everything look good? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JkgCRT
It's for gaming/ video editing
Are you buying full price windows key.....?
Yeah... Should i not?
no...
either resold key, or just don't activate it, and you can get rid of watermark and such through other methods
I'd get a bigger SSD at the least
I would personally just go 11500, saves a buck for later for a GPU later, don't need overclocking capability with a b560 board
What SSD would you suggest?
I would also personally grab a b560m-a instead of ds3h, ds3h is a bit weird
500gb sn550 works, 512gb mp33, 512gb helix l, 500gb p31, 500gb pilot e, etc
just any decent 500gb drive, 250gb ssd is too little nowadays imo
there's lots of things we like putting on ssd, and it's not that expensive
if it fits in the budget, you might want to get like a 1tb pilot e
but 500gb will work
Do you have any links for these? I can't find some things on partpicker like the 11500
Is it really better to get an i5 than an i7?
it saves you half the money, and it's just 6 cores vs 8 cores
without a GPU, I'd save up money for a GPU if you want to game (I'd prioritize that over a bit more CPU power at the moment)
Can I still game without a GPU with these parts?
get an 11500/11600/11600K if you want to game on igpu
11500 out of stock atm, at price of 11600k on amazon atm, and I feel like the slight drop down from uhd750 to uhd730 isn't that bad for saving 70$ (190$ 11400 against 260$ 11600/k/11500)
So what would be the best to get?
@hardy elbowdo you happen to live near a microcenter
MC would be great if you live near one
Unfortunately i do not :/
ideally 11500 at msrp is what you'll want
but price is just not nice at the moment
so 11400 is what I say is good RIGHT NOW.
p sure those just don't exist right now
yea
4650g was 300$ for a bit but
that's still 300$
there's also always our favorite 300$ 3400g
8 core is fine for video editing
11500 price wack atm unfortunately
I would save the ~200$ and grab a GPU rather than a bit more editing power
10700k may be an option tho, but iGP weaker
i mean presumably he can't find a gpu rn
(dats why I say save up)
if he needs a functioning pc right now 11700 not a bad choice for 8 cores + strong igpu
oh hey 11700 price is actually lower than 11700k
unlike 11600 price being above 11600k lol
but you're comparing garbage to garbage value
i think 11700 is a good option
11700 may work
good igpu for him to do light gaming + 8 cores for video editing
340$ for it still hurts tho
but 11500 with like a 200$ msrp
but he can benefit from more than 6 cores
Sippy after careful consideration I have decided that your new board will be good
and msrp doesn't matter if the product doesn't exist at msrp
perhaps
it's like saying he should buy a $700 3080
people probably found out how good it is and bought it all out
people who cant get gpu
sadly
but anyways since he can benefit from 8 cores i say 11700 best option
My question is the importance of video editting vs gaming
Would 11700 be a better buy than the 11700k?
modern chips don't benefit much from overclocking
as long as you get a board and cooler that are good enough to unlock power limits on the 11700
11600k vs 11700 is fair tbh
@hardy elbow The question is, how important is video editting and gaming to you?
What's more important, and how much do you do of each?
especially if you buy said modern chips
why you gotta bully me man
Both are important, however i game more, but i would still like to be able to video edit
Like, 6 cores is by no means bad at video editting
Its just very easy ngl
hm
but it's +2 cores AND the better igpu
@hardy elbow In how long do you see yourself having enough to get a new GPU?
i think it's worth it
(I'm taking 11600k as option still now)
Tbh, i think it's gonna be a while
could be the difference between 40 fps and 60 fps
but yee is just joke sippy dont take seriously. you still have better hwbot scores than most users.
it's more 60fps vs 55fps from what I've seen, but ye
hm
Is it a financial concern or just time limitation?
(I would rather save you money to get a GPU sooner if possible, but if it's other limitations, spending more now might work better)
It's kinda of both
11700 then
Okayyy, thank you!, also what were you saying about the DS3H being weird?
Okay did I fix everything/ is there anything else I should fix? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nnp4LP
seems rawr
Pirate windows for like 12 dollars
I'd go 3600cl16 ram if you wanna use the igpu
hi
what? the ram they have is slow
So I upgraded my cpu,amd 5600x to a new 5900x. Not it freezes on windows startup
i wanted to run a idea by you
what other specs
sure
Motherboard - Asus x570-I. Ram-Corsair 18gb 3600mhz. Gpu-Rtx 3080 fe. Psu Corsair 750
what storage and cooler
@kindred knot Have you tried to repair your Windows OS?
which ones
would it be a good idea to buy a new ssd nvme that's slower and fits my pc specs and then store my 980 pro till i get a better cpu and motherboard?
I have not yet
Do an OS repair and see what happens.
What does that mean
because currently the max i get from my 980 is 3500 read and 3300 write with my current setup
Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 chromax.black, Low-Profile CPU Cooler for AMD
How do I do an is repair?
Sorry im new at building a pc
ye
nah
its probably throttleing with a low profile cooler
You likely don't need any faster than that.
Throttling shouldn't freeze
Ohh i thought they said slow
My brain no worky today
Thank
Yes it freezes at windows startup. The wheel thing freezes
Lemme go find the sfc guide
Can anyone give me their opinion on what they think of an i5 10400f and rtx 2060 pair
My bios should be updated since I updated when I was on the 5600x
i bought a 980 pro but my current motherboard and cpu can't use the full power of the ssd, so i was wondering if i showed buy a slower ssd and put away my 980 pro till i have a better cpu and motherboard
General fix for random windows problems
From an admin command prompt or powershell, run:
sfc /scannow
If that doesn't work, try:
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then, try running sfc again.
Repeat as necessary
Oh. Yeah
@trim drum what do you even need the speed for? Think about what actually needs that sequential performance, it shouldn't matter basically at all for most people
So I can get in to bios and safe mode easily. Once I got into safe mode I uninstall my gpu driver and it boots up fine. Then it tries to force install the gpu driver and when it does that it goes black and comes back ever time I get a force install notification
Once installed it freezes again on boot
Oh fun, DDU?
well to at least to kinda get my moneys worth of it
(it's not worth it really)
And it likely won't make a difference
I wouldn't worry about it
It's just something you have
i made the mistake to buy it in the first place because i didn't know any better
With safe mode and drivers uninstalled, try to see if sfc or dism catches anything, and then see if it'll work with you with drivers.
how long do nvme ssd last for?
Can you go wrong with Gigabyte Aorus Master x570?
I uninstalled the gpu driver and ran sfc. It says it didn’t find any integrity violations
@kindred knot your windows freeze sounds just like the problem I had a couple weeks ago :( I ended up sending all my items back to supplier now on the hunt for a new build :(
I ain’t gonna do all that lol all I did was swap CPU’s
Which mobo you got?
I got the asus x570-I
What about dism?
Tuf Gaming?
swapped cpu from what to what
I had a Tuf Gaming x570. Mine did the same when I added a second monitor l. Went into automatic repair and never came back to me.
5600x to 5900x I believe
weird, shouldn't have windows problems
Strix. And a 5600x to a 5900x
Going to try dism now
Dism came out fine
No corruption
Hm
I still have my 5600x. Either I reseat that or I reset my windows and lose all my save
I have an sff case so I rather not swap cpu again lol
Hey @earnest olive I'm struggling to find mobos online in Spain. You may recall a couple days ago I want to game and stream to YouTube on the same PC with a RTX 2060. I'm going for a 5800x and can buy a Gigabyte Aorus Master x570. What do you think? I'll also be doing a fair amount of editing.
Ohh. I didn't know that. Will check it now cheers.
also im pretty sure amazon.de ships to all of EU
@little osprey this is the link to spain pcpartpicker
it will search retailers available in spain
oh wait
Wow wonderful thank you. I sent all my items back so now need full rig
I am left with 2 monitors that's it.
even the rtx 2060?
Btw v2 doesn't change much, although vrm is on paper weaker, in practice same.
No I kept that ;)
Gpu hard days
in the corner of my eye
the flag of spain is looking like a pcpartpicker notification
so every time i look between monitors i think i got a mail
Pcpp has notification system?
yeah when people DM you or comment on your build
Ah
@little osprey i7-11700 is 100 euros cheaper than r7 5800x
i would recommend doing that or i7-11700F
i7-11700F is 295 euro, i7-11700 is 320 euro, i7-11700K is 369 euro
I have to buy a 5800x as the money was given to me to use that so the build has to be based on that haha
huh
someone gave you money on the condition that you must get 5800x?
well i suppose if someone else is paying for it it's fine
it's a good processor just not a great value for its normal price
Well. Someone said what CPU you need. I said I need 8 cores They said here's 500 bucks go buy a 5800x
11700 is also 8 cores 16 threads
I'll look into that too. I just need something reliable at this stage that isn't gonna die after 5 weeks again :(
pretty similar performance but the 11700 is much cheaper
https://es.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZNxQHz quick example list
Thank you for you help as always.
could be changed if you prefer air cooling or a different cooler, more or less storage, rgb, etc
but thats a viable baseline
even though it's a locked cpu if you are going to be doing heavy rendering/video encoding loads on it with unlocked power limits you will need decent cooling
same applies for the 5800x although 5800x is unlocked
Wow under 1k.. nice.
my 5600x gets shockingly hot considering the 360mm cooler and 8 fans i have, so i say liquid cooling is not overkill
well i put the 2060 as $0 because you already have it
but they do run hot
but yes rest of the system is well under 1k
Ye all the Amazons do
oh neat
Afaik
Cheers guys. Super helpful
To the main countries anyway idk bout like Ukraine r sum
guess its the same concept as US amazon shipping to all the states
Basically lol
US is pretty big
hmm
time to order parts from amazon.de to do a build in siberia

not all eu
think about how good the temps will be with siberia ambient temps
Most
romania bulgaria greece etc

they don't get amazon
move to siberia for overclocking
I don't think hungry gets amazon either
They got newegg tho
Only neweggs in eu is uk and turkey grrrrr
comically sized heatsink on the left
Chonk
why they got this kind of vrm cooling for b460 tho

looks more overbuilt than some z590 atx boards
@earnest olivehave you seen the itx tr board tho
that's beautiful
tryna check if real or not
TR limited to dual channel is kinda ouchie though
oh not real
LOL
Wasn’t there that Xeon itx board
Ram looks so long lol
or a 7" panel that is less than 118mm wide with housing
but where do you find them
amazon
¯_(ツ)_/¯
don't think you can just walk into your local bb
was just wondering if anyone had a recommendation
i have a 7" monitor but doesn't fit in my case
not a big deal cause i have other uses for it
I’ve seen some monitors people put on fan mounts but idk what they are
i have a specific idea of where i'm putting mine
i tested putting my 7" monitor in there and it doesn't fit
that's the only place i can put it in this case
What case
o11 dynamic
Ahh I’ve seen people put it on that back fan mount but not other places
the thing is
the back is not a fan mount
lol
i am putting it there
but my 7" monitor with housing is 124mm wide
It isn’t lol?
doesn't fit
yeah it doesn't have enough room to mount a fan
i will have triple top exhaust
so it's fine
lol
Could you make a pc hover with 3 fans going 19,000 rpm tho?
I think it's possible
maybe you could
Ok I’m back. So I reinstalled my old cpu and it boots. But now there’s something wrong with my gpu lmfao
It keeps trying to force installs and blacks out the screen when I get a notification saying force install then the screen comes back on so it pretty much blips
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FmhJ3Z
What y'all think
For a friend to play rust
The GPU is a place holder
Go b560
He might actually be getting a custom looped EVGA 2080 FTW3 hydrocopper
Can't go above 2666 with an i5 on b460
I'd go 11400/11500 and b560
He could just get igpu for awhile then get gpu when he can
And I wouldn't advise a 2080 rn, it'll be overpriced
Ik someone local with the FTW3 Hydro
I'd get a 3060ti
$780 for GPU, pump/reservoir, and 360mm radiator
Meh
Local
Thing is we can't get 3060TIs around here
In terms of performance
W/o paying scalpers
That's why I'd stick with igpu for awhile then snag one at some point
Can he use iGPU to run rust?
*run it WELL
Exactly lol
Yeah
Should be able to snag a 3060ti then
Ive been trying try Newegg shuffle for 3onths with no luck
I've been able to buy one, I didn't need one but I easily couldve
I have 3 best buys and when the 3070ti released all 3 sold out instantly
I check daily and it always says sold out
I'd join a stockdrops server and go with it
Yeah, well when he'd rather get it tomorrow vs 10 months down the road....
Good for you
399.99
Not everyone is lucky enough
Trust me, I've been trying EVERYDAY since the first release
Nothing but scalpers and bots
I check one a day and I've had multiple opportunities to get one... Problem with 780 2080 is that it's just bad value with the new cards
Well when you can't get new cards 😒
Especially when outperformed by 3060ti for way less
I paid $700 for my 2070S
Bit high imo
Had a 780ti prior
Yeah, but it was over heating badly
Oh yeah
Like my games would crash kind of bad
It was an xfx card right?
Yep
Typical
Xfx raw 2
I ordered a ASRock taichi+ 5700xt, received the xfx after 2 weeks of backorder and didn't feel like returning
Total for friend is like $1900
Taichi looks pretty nice
Including 2080 and other custom loop hardware
I almost got it
For 1900 you could easily easily buy a scalped 3060ti and do a build for cheaper
Not really?
Especially since he wants a custom loop
So...besides the GPU, what do you think about it
Oh if he really wants a custom loop then maybe
Ig if it comes with all that it's alright
One minute ago I will do my wise financial planning
Right Now I WILL BLOW ALL MY MONEY INTO PC BUILDING
TRUTH
gets paycheck and puts it into savings account
Sees nice headphones
Empties savings into checking to buy headphones
I've been struggling not to go for the build
Convincing myself that the old hardware is obsolete and no need to buy, the new hardware will on its way to obsolete when both AMD and Intel release new product in the near future so no need to buy too
My various pandemic stimulus checks were set aside and were what I used to finally snag a GPU in a Shuffle Wednesday, since I'm "essential" and have been working 48+ hrs/wk through the whole thing as a convenience store manager.
Yep I also saved my stimulus money and was able to snag a graphics card in the shuffle on the 11th.
I'm surprised my card shipped so quick. I got selected Wednesday and got my card today.
My took a little longer since I missed the delivery twice since it needed signed for and I was at work
I lucked out and today was one of my days off from work this week.
I ended up picking it up at ups instead
@lyric thistle Australian, eh?
Welp another Newegg shuffle that I got nothing from
Sup peeps
@stoic island Corsair website
Stage 2 is a 360mm rad in front stage 3 is a 360mm in front and a 240mm up top
Sorry, 280mm rad
...
welp
just corsair things
they really gotta charge like 180$ just for another rad
Yeah
for 300$ after shipping you can get a full soft tube kit :P
Tbh, I could probably get all that for cheaper thru Amazon and newegg
I just did this too see what's compatible and get a shopping list
Smarter Shopping, Better Living! Aliexpress.com
Also turns out my HP 2070S(the board is a reference board of the msi aero 2070S) uses the 2080S FE revB water block
also, that listing is not a joke, pretty sure hei bought like 5 kits
Not a 2070S water block
Sounds russian
Sus 🤔🤔🤔
they're US lol
https://www.bykski.us/
It was a joke
Turns out it's $180 more for two more fans and the radiator
Just Corsair things
Lol
Well I don't need to get those exact parts lol
I can go thru ek or something
get bykski
thoughts on this? ik i ask a lot but i like to get different people's opinions
also someone gonna have to run me through on BIOS updating eventually
anyways talk to yall in the mornin
good
for flashback, basically just this, the only difference is in the bios file renaming, asus has a renaming tool and you don't have to manually rename, but the rest is basically the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTkXunUAriE
In this demonstration, we’ll show you how to use Flash BIOS Button with MSI motherboard.
Most of those parts lists are no longer valid due to the GPU shortage
They still list things like 5700XT for a $1000 build. GPU alone now is 500-600 used
For $1000 I'd recommend a prebuilt with a 1660 super
If you can swing $1100 you can get one with an RTX2060 https://www.newegg.com/abs-ali524/p/N82E16883360129
That's a really, really good buy right now
1250$ and you might get the 3060 prebuilt
Never get into debt even it's interest-free tho
if you lease you better have a job that's an excuse to it
like say, workstation stuff or smth
It’s quadpay not lease
like you need the hardware to make cash, and that cash can easily pay off while having some left
ik, but the process is kinda the same
pay by installments
Is Windows 11 out yet?
I just installed a Corsair H115i AIO. The first few boots, the pump lit up no problem. Now for some reason it's not lighting up and not pumping. I changed the SATA power connector to a different rail, still no change. What are the chances my pump is dead? It lasted about 3 boots.
Im building a pc and i need everthing but the cpu and gpu the cpu is a ryzen 5 1600 budget about 300-400
nice
RX570 GANG!
I would upgrade but nope
did he include stock cooler
a motherbored that can support like a ryzen 5 3600x
need wifi?
can improve some things if you want to max out $400 budget
like more storage capacity or better psu
but that psu should be good up to like a 3070 if you stay with ryzen 5 3600x
or 5600x
just gonna get a little more questionable if you get higher wattage ones
Thats a pretty good board
yeah looks solid for budget
gotta stick to b450 to guarantee compatibility with the 1600
x570 works as well
surprisingly it lacks an ARGB header
hmm
that might be a problem with the vetroo then
the case includes a controller
but i don't remember if the controller supports 2 or 3 fans
if it's 2 then vetroo would need a separate controller
i don't know why asus hates ARGB headers
and loves RGB headers
even on their high end boards only 1 ARGB header
but 2 RGB headers
pc part picker says 337 but amazon says 391
whats that
you pay a higher price first and mail in proof of purchase and they will mail you a card with some cash value
you can use them at grocery store
How do you do that
or wherever accepts prepaid cards
there will be instructions if you buy an item with a rebate
2 items in this list have rebates
if you would rather not deal with rebates i can change it
is it worth it?
hmm
uhh what do you think
i mean i recommended it that should imply i think it's good
but some people don't like rebates
personally i don't care
is they one way you could do one that there isnt any rebates?
yeah thats what i was asking lol
here you go, no rebates
this case also has a white version
can't speak for how good this case is though, have not used it before
it looks quite interesting for the price though, might try it for an i7-4770K budget build i have planned
fan speed can't be controlled but people are saying they're not noisy
dunno i'd have to look into it more
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/JmWdht probably a better option
case not for sale on amazon
everything has to be on amazon?
send the link
several things yes
open to suggestions
overpriced motherboard (even if you want that specific model i've seen them sold for as low as $115 on r/hardwareswap)
corsair ram is trash
ssd very pricey for 500gb
glass front case means you're choking your components of airflow
and corsair rgb fans are overpriced memes
Nah the p31 is worth it
1tb sure but im not convinced paying $75 for a 500gb ssd is a good idea
one sec im creating acc lol
might as well take the savings on some of the meme stuff and get a midrange or premium 1tb ssd
you don't need an account to send link
just copy the lick top left
just above your parts
lick?
mb new to this
craipop are you licking your pcpp lists
this is for my sis lol
yes obviouslt
Neither confirm nor deny
where you getting a 5600x for 206?
anyways i already typed out all the problems with the list
im using it rn and im giving her for that price
someone else can make the edits im gaming 
and our cousin got a 1080 and hes looking to upgrade
so 1080 for 200
hows that pricing
no hes selling it to my sis xD
yea cuz i wanna get a 5800x or 5900x but idk if my NZXT Z53 can hold a 5900x
z53 is 120mm?
It cant
240
Its pretty bad aio tho
will be sweating hard if you hit it with heavy all core loads though
@earnest olive i changed the case to a case that i like is it good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zt4kQD
lol
probably getting a 5800x then
my cousin has it and i thought it looks cool
since its widely available too
ill see
if not ill sell her my aio and buy a new one lmao
Lol
yea i personally would go this route but
kids
want rgb
and shes willing to pay for it...
buy a 5$ rgb strip and slap it in there
nice move xD
rgb cases with good airflow exist
the case you chose has rgb sure
but no airflow
I replaced it for the case I simp
4000d airflow
yea 4000d easy asf to build in
everyone simps 4000d airflow when it's on sale for $70
it is
ight thanks for the advice guys
Y’all would say a 650w power supply should be enough
ima ask her tmr morning lol
4000x has decent airflow and you can always remove the front panel
The one I pinged is sippy
ahh
arctic p12 argb looks promising
cuz it was only sippy before lol
out of stock
sad
they are? sadge
i dunno, ever since i bought those id-cooling argb fans in bulk while they had a pricing error
i haven't had a reason to look at rgb fans
let me look now
these look good
27db, pwm, standard argb connector

also since we got 6 fans
if im going with corsair fans i would go with commander pro but what other fan hubs are out there
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sRZzK8/enermax-hf120-120-mm-fans-3-pack-uchf12pargb-bp3 decent looking budget 3-pack that includes splitter and controller
you could go with a cheaper psu than rm650
Commender pro is a rip off
yea i found out that rm750 is only like 4 bucks more
xD
You can just use spliters or a 10$ hub
i dont think its good to buy 4000d airflow for full price
oof I did
i feel like if you are gonna get it for $95 and add 3 rgb fans
It isnt full rn
Nah
oh I got it for like $80
it goes up to 130
It was there like 3 days ago
oh wait
i just realized my pricing is set to amazon only cause that previous guy wanted amazon only
i was wondering why you were paying $160 for 16gb ram
That would be dumb
anyways ballistix rgb is cheaper
I personally love how trident looks
$20 more but yeah it's subjective if you think it's worth that much more
itll look real nice in that 4000d as well
i like how ballistix looks
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZpWdht is this case good it just looked pretty cool
yeah p360a is good
where you even gonna put all those fans
you could put the freezer 280 at the top then you have 4 fan mounts left for the rgb
probably replace those with the rgb fans lmao
yeah no
that would not be a good idea
you can't just swap any old case fan onto a radiator
radiator fans tend to have higher static pressure to push or pull air through the fin stack
the P14s on the freezer 280 have significantly higher static pressure than these rgb fans
the rgb fans are suitable for case fans but you'd be losing cooling performance if you put them on the radiator... and also
you'd be putting 2 120mm fans on a radiator designed for 2 140mm fans
so a very large portion of your radiator would just not be getting active cooling at all
Someone help me i am not able to control my ARGB fans
He said he wanted 6
my bad
Pls help
gonna need some details
you are going to have to describe the problem...
motherboard, what software, what fans
and models
that is not rgb connector lol
Asus mobo antec df600 flux cabinet
that is the pwm fan power connector
Its written argb header
see how I said models
are they even spinning?
Yes

look at the holes on the connector
at the top
huh
it is an rgb connector
They r spinning
i guess it is just a weird nonstandard argb cable then
Oh yes
...with a label that says PWM
I'm dumb
There was a cable it had a tag called only for gigabyte motherboards

Didn't do it
Then?

rawr i would like to ask... if a psu is 500Watt, it has 80Plus Gold certification, does that mean it can output 500*0.8=440 Watt of power steadily?
Pretty sure it does all 500w
just draws a little more power from the wall iirc
I could be wrong tho
There we go!
lessgo, thank you!
I still can't change the colours
🥲
Its fine
My one fan is very slow now
Rawr
Pls help
My pc is producing a beep sound
set it up in the asus mobo app
what sound and when
it means it outputs 500W but may take up to 500 / 0.8 from the wall
so 625
Yep thats what i thought
thanks!
being gold rated it usually should be better than 80% efficiency
more like 88-92%
so 543-568W from the wall
you would expect closer to 625W from 80+ white
that's at full load though
and you usually don't run psu at full load
Finally I selected Silverstone's SX650 PSU, it's 80Plus Gold rated
and it's for SFX
i dont know what to do now...
having overkill psu is good for efficiency but only if you get a good price
in the future if the gpu price drop down i might go get a 3060Ti
i5-11400 + 3060 will draw like 350W peak under max synthetic load
more like 300W in gaming
if you can find a high quality 500-550W for cheap it will be ok even with a 3070
your cpu doesn't need that much power
not enough for 3080 though'
well technically it would be enough for a 3080 but i would be uncomfortable
if i eventually replace with a 3080 i will replace the psu also
is there high quality 500-550W for cheaper
how much is the 650W
108 USD
yes, really expensive
i live in a rented place, so i think a sff pc would help if i move in or move out
will do! but just need time to figure out whats the best for the budget for now
holy coe
cow
found a Seasonic Focus SGX 500W PSU, it's SFX-L and 80Plus Gold rated
and it's 95 usd
I'd rather get the 650W for 105
what do you mean
Like how do I pick it up?
@frank stirrup I just noticed that my mobo does not have ARGB
lol
does anyone run a 6700 xt gpu? if so, what is your experience with it?? pros/cons?
With your hands
Picking it up with the feet can be problematic
I don't have one but it's pros are: zoomy gpu, cons: price usually more than 3070 and doesn't get 3070 perf and doesn't have nvenc or dlss or rtx voice
I gave up, I placed the order
CPU: i5 11400F
FAN: ID COOLING SE-40
MB: ROG B560i ITX Motherboard (CPU and MB are bundled)
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM
HDD: 500GB HDD from old build
GPU: R9 270 from old build
CASE: CoolerMaster NR200 Black
PSU: Seasonic SGX500 500 Watt SFX-L PSU
ooh!!! ITX!!! Nice! dont see many of those! Please post pics when you build it
This is the best I can get, really tight budget
I’ve been slowly building/upgrading my pc over the years. I just got my new graphics card yesterday and I still have to put it in sometime this weekend
Total cost is 600 dollars
No ssd mate
just FYI, you will find that ITX builds cost more than equivalent mATX/ATX builds
already found out
i just went full dumb
maybe the day i receive the parts i got instant regret
Nah dude, I think you got a nice little system there. I am aiming to build and ITX machine for my lounge, so that I can Steam remote play. Gona use that same case.
Why'd you get the se 40? No ssd and slow ram?
Fyi some itx cases don't take hdds
enjoy regret tbh
for not listening to anyone
