1500$ pc build

[sour fossil]

So this is my build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/sd7QN6 the things in it are optimized to my liking but there’s just one problem my budget is 1500$ and since i have that budget for a high end pc that will be upgraded later on with an aio a 3 fan 3060 and an i9 12900k but i’m split on if i should take 3 fans or just wait till i get the aio so i don’t just have extra fans laying around

[void niche]

No

1500$ can get you better stuff or you could get the same for cheaper

I got basically the same thing for 100 dollars cheaper

But it was amd gpu

And amd cpu

[dire creek]

Amd CPUs and GPUs are slower that intel cpus and GPUs

[void niche]

thats just wrong

[dire creek]

They are just cheaper and less powerful

[void niche]

dont remember dont care if amd 8000 gen is here and idc if intel 14th gen is here

but ryzen 9 7950x 3d is the same price as the intel core i9 13th gen but its more powerful

[dire creek]

What?

[dire creek]

IG idk a lot Abt the amd CPUs

But I know smt ant Intel

Anyways @void niche wanna hop on mc?

[void niche]

and rx 6700/7600 is cheaper than the rtx 3060 but the same performance

[dire creek]

Or Opposer?

[dire creek]

Alr

[void niche]

opposer

[dire creek]

Alr on call?

[void niche]

sure its its gonna be discord call

[dire creek]

Whate idk what my quest is at

[void niche]

check

[dire creek]

70% that's ok

[void niche]

ye

[dire creek]

Alr

Dms

[tacit bramble]

Lmao ryzen 7 7800x3d is miles better than core i9 14900k what r u on

Intel is lacking rn

[tacit bramble]

I can get u something for the same price but 1000x better

@sour fossil

[sour fossil]

Ok let’s see it

Also mb i responded so late i was asleep @tacit bramble

[sour fossil]

Ik tho i’m sticking with intel and nvidia cus i found an insane monitor and it has g-sync also i js don’t like amd maybe their cpus but not gpus

Also @void niche i’m going for intel bc my brother is going to give me his pc in like a year bc he’s gonna build a new one and since that’s gonna happen i’m gonna have an i9 12900k and an nzxt aio and a 3 fan 3060 also i went for 2 fan 3060 cus it was basically the same price as a 1660 super

[tacit bramble]

Amd gpu is miles ahead of nvidia, the price for performance is too good to pass up on

[sour fossil]

Yeah but i mean like i’m not only focused on fps per dollar i’m more focused on raytracing

[tacit bramble]

Ok

[void niche]

You could get the same for cheaper even if it’s NVIDIA and intel

[sour fossil]

so can u help?

also i'm sticking with the mobo since i want it and don't want to go through the hassle of changing it later on

[void niche]

Prebuilt?

[sour fossil]

Nah i’m building it myself

[void niche]

Ight

4060 is 300-450 or smth

[void niche]

Dollars

So

I would go rtx 4060
Intel i7 12th gen
Whatever Mobo you use
16-32 gb ram

Intel i9 with a rtx 3060/4060 isn’t really that good

Go with a i7 12/13th gen

If you need more help ask @proper flame

He’s better than me

Since I am not that good

[proper flame]

$1500 can get you a 7900xt

I built this for someone else earlier! https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dominicshortbow/saved/#view=PvTPzy

[proper flame]

your list is messed up af. NO ONE NEEDS TO PAY NEAR $400 FOR A MOBO! 3060 should be much cheaper. The case needs front airflow, meaning front mesh not glass.

[sour fossil]

So can i change the case later on?

[proper flame]

look at my list. much better for gaming.

[sour fossil]

Ok

[proper flame]

plus 7900xt is double and a half faster than a 3060

[sour fossil]

It’s good but

[sour fossil]

.

[sour fossil]

Well what do i do with my brother’s 3060 then? Do i just leave it in the rig and maybe use it as a secondary pc maybe for streaming or smthn

[proper flame]

Id recommend amd for long platform support. Plus 7600 has faster single core than 12600

[sour fossil]

Yeah but i mean like i’m gonna get a 12900k from my brother’s pc so i would have to change the mobo

[proper flame]

oh so your buying his 12900 from him?

[sour fossil]

No he’s building a new pc and js giving me his current one

Like the old pre-built i have

It has an i9 12900k and a 12gb triple fan 3060 with 32 gb of ddr4 ram @3200mhz

And an nzxt kraken z73

[proper flame]

and you need a build for this pc right?

[sour fossil]

Yes

[proper flame]

so what do I need to mark that you have and just picks parts you need?

[sour fossil]

I need a build that will perform good for about like 6 months before i upgrade it with his parts

[sour fossil]

I didn’t quite understand what u said

[proper flame]

ok so the i5 is temporary right?

[sour fossil]

Yes

Same with the dual 4060

3060*

And air cooler

[proper flame]

ok, lets downscale that to a 12100 sense you will only have it for 6 months

[sour fossil]

I’m js trynna build a pc that will perform better than my laptop so i can js upgrade it later on with my brother’s parts

[sour fossil]

Well that’s estimated since he gets his money back from his investment acc in a year from now and say i build it in 3-5 months from now i will have it for around 7-9 months

[proper flame]

and your getting his ram?

[void niche]

Go with Radeon gpu I was like you thinking NVIDIA was best but I now use amd gpus

[sour fossil]

Yeah but again i found an insane monitor with g-sync and don wanna change it

[void niche]

G-sync is overrated lols

[sour fossil]

No i’m getting 32gb of ddr5 ram @6000mhz

[hearty lily]

GG @sour fossil, you just advanced to level 12!

[sour fossil]

But still the monitor is insane and tbh i js don wanna change from nvidia

[proper flame]

all this is confusing. if you have $1500, just build a new pc that wont limit you to 12th gen and a 3060

[void niche]

@proper flame is this good ping?

[sour fossil]

That’s the monitor btw https://www.newegg.com/global/sa-en/black-asus-rog-swift-oled-pg34wcdm-34/p/N82E16824281295

[proper flame]

7600 sometimes matches or beats a 12900k in gaming anyways

[void niche]

Dude

[proper flame]

and take his old parts for a spare pc

[void niche]

Over priced monitor

[void niche]

I have a ryzen 5 7600 it’s good

[sour fossil]

Ok wait lemme make this simpler i want a pc that will out perform my i7 11th gen laptop with a 3050 ti that also will allow me to upgrade it with his parts

[void niche]

Better than my 8th gen intel

[proper flame]

Id say forget his parts and start new

[void niche]

True

[proper flame]

7600 gives you long platform support

[hearty lily]

GG @proper flame, you just advanced to level 32!

[void niche]

You can maybe get a rtx 3070 for that price

But

[proper flame]

7900xt is good

matches 3090ti

[void niche]

Rx 7900xt is better choice

[sour fossil]

But still i’m not paying FOR the cpu so it wouldn’t really make sense to take a better cpu if i can js use this cpu which is pretty good

[void niche]

Ok

Keep the intel cpu ig

[proper flame]

ok, so your just taking his 12900k then?

[void niche]

But get a rx 7900xt

[sour fossil]

Ok well if i’m starting new then what parts do i take?

[sour fossil]

Yes

[proper flame]

ok that's more simple

[sour fossil]

How much is that?

[void niche]

Ask sim

Dom*

I hate autocorrect

[proper flame]

we can easily fit that in your budget. it's like $700

and matches rtx 3090ti

[sour fossil]

OK!

[void niche]

Wait what

[sour fossil]

We getting somewhere

[void niche]

Cheap ass gpu

I could have fit that into my budget for my oc

Pc

Welp

Idc

[sour fossil]

But wait g-sync compatible js means that it’s g-sync but works with other gpus right?

[void niche]

Ask @proper flame

[sour fossil]

So it would have the same performance as if i was using a 3090 ti

[proper flame]

you would just use a free sync monitor

g sync is just a rip off to take your money

[sour fossil]

Ok well can u help me find a 1440p 34”in 240hz oled monitor with free-sync premium or sum shit?

[proper flame]

just find one that you trust or look at yt with Monitors Unboxed

[sour fossil]

Ok

[void niche]

165 is good enough dude

[sour fossil]

This is basically the same price as the other monitor 💀 https://amzn.eu/d/71Tcov1

[void niche]

1440p 32” in 165hz is good enough

[sour fossil]

Ik but i want a monitor that will match that monitor

Js with free-sync

Might go for apc

[void niche]

And my monitor cost me 300 dollars

[sour fossil]

Aoc*

[void niche]

WITH G SYNC

[sour fossil]

Weren’t u js saying that g-sync is a scam?

@void niche

[void niche]

But

It’s 300 dollars

[sour fossil]

Ok?

[void niche]

G sync is a scam if it’s like 1k for a monitor that’s decent

[proper flame]

@sour fossil https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Dominicshortbow/saved/#view=rzzkwP

normally I am against ROG products due to how expensive they are, but thats a decent price on that mobo

[sour fossil]

Ok it’s good i js have one problem with the 4000d is that the front fans don’t have rgb

[proper flame]

just buy separate fans

[sour fossil]

Ok well if that’s so imma buy the lian li sl-infinity fans

[proper flame]

oh wait

theres a 4000d with rgb

[sour fossil]

They look so good and 2 3 packs cost 200

[proper flame]

look at the list again. I updated case for rgb fans

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/mGXV3C/corsair-icue-4000d-rgb-airflow-atx-mid-tower-case-cc-9011240-ww

[sour fossil]

Nah i think imma just get the normal case with lian li fans

Cus i have one problem with this right ik it will sound stupid but the problem is that it has white fans

They will get dirty really fast and it will show

Well not really fast but u get what i mean

[proper flame]

the corsair fans?

[sour fossil]

Yea

[proper flame]

you wouldnt notice

Id stick to these fans

[sour fossil]

So since i’m gonna change them into lian li fans imma js change it from the beginning

[proper flame]

all fans gets dirty fast. but white fans help glow more

[sour fossil]

Yea but

[proper flame]

just $200 for fans is way too much

[sour fossil]

So i can change them later if i want to?

[proper flame]

yeah, just get the corsair fans in the case

[sour fossil]

Ok

[proper flame]

you wont regret it.

[sour fossil]

Ok but now can u help me find a monitor that’s 34”in curved oled panel 240hz 3440x1440 with free sync?

[proper flame]

I am not good with monitors. let me bring you to another server

[sour fossil]

Ok

Also @proper flame is noticed that u put the aio and cpu rn so idk what u did but what cpu and cooler do i go for until he gives me his pc?

[proper flame]

oh

you needed a temporary cpu, just get a 12100f rn and use the stock cooler

[sour fossil]

Why don’t i js get smthn from deepcool?

@proper flame

Also @proper flame couldn’t find the 12100f so imma go with the 12400f

@proper flame why did u go for the rm850e when the wattage is around 570

Ohhhh wait nvm

But is the rm750e good?

[proper flame]

you want more room than what the pc draws for like usb and all

and 12900 can draw quite some bit

[sour fossil]

Ohhh ok

Ight

[proper flame]

and 7900xt is a bit of power too

[sour fossil]

Ok so the build with the 12400f is 1600$ without a cpu cooler

So should i put the thermalight that’s for 35$ or stay with the stock cooler

[proper flame]

use the stock cooler for now sense it's temporary

[sour fossil]

Ok

[sour fossil]

@proper flame i have a question if i change to the h7 elite is that gonna cost me a shit ton of performance or just a little bit

Also should i change the case into the h7 elite or js stay with it for a while and change to the hyte y60

[proper flame]

for cases, you know where the front is right?

[sour fossil]

Yes?

[proper flame]

like where even the front fans are

you want that to be mesh not glass

[sour fossil]

So does the h7 flow work?

[proper flame]

you need open airflow on the front, top, back, and maybe bottom

both side panels can be closed

flow works

[sour fossil]

Cus i mean the h7 flow can fit 140mm fans meanwhile the 4000d can only fit 120mm fans and they’re both flow js one costs a bit more than the other

[proper flame]

ok

case is your choice. just get one that has decent air flow

[sour fossil]

Also my reasoning behind why i wanted to go for the h7 elite is bc it shows the fan and looks pretty good but i might buy it and transfer the old cpu and transfer the parts into an h7 elite and use it as a secondary pc for streaming

[proper flame]

I wouldn't, I seen people with parts overheating because not good air flow

my cousin had overheating in his case because half the top was covered and all the front was like covered

[sour fossil]

I mean it’s just a streaming pc i prob won’t use for anything other than content creation so i’m fine right?

[proper flame]

that's why I hard recommend a mesh front

[proper flame]

Id still not limit yourself. you may be stuck having to take the side panel off

[sour fossil]

Ok

[proper flame]

one thing people easily overlook is airflow. you don't need crazy amounts of fans. but you do want your case to have lots of mesh

[sour fossil]

I mean my brother has the same type of case except the front is acrylic and he doesn’t have any overheating issues

[proper flame]

and he only has a 3060 probably doing alright

7900xt we recommend is going to heat up much more

[sour fossil]

Yeah and did u not hear what i said?

Or well yk

[proper flame]

I heard

I am saying 3060 aint mich power

the 7900xt is

[sour fossil]

Anyway i said that i can transfer over his parts into an h7 elite it won’t overheat but it i’ll look good

[sour fossil]

Ik and i’m ok with the flow version of the case i’m js talkin about his 3060 rn tho

Anyway brb

I’m back

@proper flame would the hyte y60 work or will it have bad airflow?

[proper flame]

I am done helping. I try to help when you ask but then you don't listen and strongly want certain things

[sour fossil]

Ok i’m sorry

[proper flame]

all I will say is look for front mesh is my advise

[sour fossil]

Anyway thanks for all the help

[sour fossil]

Ok

[tacit bramble]

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Quest.Shay/saved/yDsVBm

[proper flame]

oh yeah prices dropped sense last time. though I recommend a 7800x3d over 7900x. not only 7800x3d is faster, you dont need 12 full cores for gaming and 2 6 core ccd's aint that fun in gaming

[strong dune]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/VGftyg

[proper flame]

That's acually a really good list!

[strong dune]

better than a 3060 1500$ build two fold

🤢

[proper flame]

3060 builds should land no more than $900 today

[sour fossil]

3060 build for 600-700$ is it good?

This is basically the build

https://sa.pcpartpicker.com/list/NNsGYN

[nova tree]

not too bad (atleast in my opinion)

the 3060 is still a solid card

plus it has nvenc

and dlss

[sour fossil]

I mean at least it’s 500$ cheaper from my main build and still does what i want it to do

[nova tree]

yeah

you doing video editing or something?

[sour fossil]

Might start again

And also js want a pc that will play fn and vr and most story games at solid 60-144fps

[nova tree]

I get that

[sour fossil]

Oh also it will be upgraded to either a 13700kf,12900k that i will get from my brother if he does get a new pc or a 13900k

And a 4070 ti super

[nova tree]

nice

I'd personally get a better processor and more ram because I do video editing and it takes alot of shit

like the one in the link

I mean like a better processor than the one in the link

[sour fossil]

Ehhh i mean 16gb already does the job for me, tho i want it bc my 16gb is being mostly used by windows meaning i can’t play vr games like bonelab

[nova tree]

32gb is definitely worth it

[sour fossil]

Also i got a 12600kf bc after that I’ll refurbish it and make a holiday home pc

[nova tree]

it will run much better

yeah

[sour fossil]

The cpu and gpu will be refurbished for that

[nova tree]

nice

[sour fossil]

Yea

[nova tree]

anyways school is starting, gtg
