aye

sage zinc
#

Ayeeee

magic smelt
#

i made a thread since this'll take a while, PCPartPicker kinda sucks for belgium

sage zinc
#

Yeah it does lol

magic smelt
sage zinc
#

I'll let you go ham

#

Never use those sites really

#

I just go on the website i wanna buy itself

sage zinc
#

Isn't that a Belgian/Dutch country only?

magic smelt
sage zinc
#

Aha*

magic smelt
#

which is where i heard of it

sage zinc
magic smelt
#

Smofkey The Bear

sage zinc
#

The fuck

#

Since when am I a bear

magic smelt
#

it's a reference

sage zinc
#

Ah

#

Smokey

magic smelt
#

looks like high end air cooler market is a bit disappointing

#

no AK620 :C

#

oh wait, i'm blind

#

white version too

sage zinc
#

no aio?

magic smelt
#

i tend to go air cooling since top mount AIO in a lot of cases is sus

#

but i'll see AIO options too

sage zinc
#

wdym?

magic smelt
# sage zinc wdym?

a lot of cases can't fit a 360mm aio on the top, and fitting 240 or 280 on the top can sometimes not clear with the motherboard or RAM

sage zinc
sage zinc
magic smelt
#

i can probably fit an AIO tho

sage zinc
#

but i forgot about it

#

and was pretty expensive

sage zinc
#

Everything going ok? @magic smelt

magic smelt
#

looking for case

sage zinc
#

Alright coolcool

magic smelt
#

alright i put a case, now for SSD

sage zinc
#

1tb ssd maybe

#

and big hdd

#

or 2 ssds idk

magic smelt
#

how about a 2TB SSD

sage zinc
#

i don't know if having games on the same drive as my windows is a problem?

sage zinc
#

I don't know if it differs from 2 1tb ssds?

magic smelt
magic smelt
sage zinc
#

I guess

#

I'll just work with lots of folders then

#

you don't want to see my E drive right now

magic smelt
#

sometimes 2x1 can be cheaper tho

sage zinc
#

You'll need bleach

magic smelt
#

lol

sage zinc
#

folders all around

#

Now I want stuff like

#

let's just make it for myself now so i already know

#

Personal
Work
Games>Steam>
Ubisoft>
Xbox>
..........

#

ezpz

magic smelt
#

what are you current peripherals

sage zinc
#

27 inch 240 hertz monitor

#

some random ass tv/monitor

#

and also a big tv

#

when i want to lay in bed and i just play stuff on the screen

#

razer mouse

#

random ass keyboard that came with the prebuilt pc

#

but im fine with using it for now

#

ill upgrade later

magic smelt
#

what about audio setup

sage zinc
#

shitty cam which i use as mic since my current headsets mic is broken

#

and a wireless logitech headset

#

g533 or something

magic smelt
#

kek

#

tbh i would at least upgrade those

sage zinc
#

Maybe gonna get a hyperx headset

sage zinc
magic smelt
#

headset and mic

sage zinc
#

yeah

#

maybe just a hyperx headset?

#

and im good?

magic smelt
#

you have the budget for really nice headphones + dedicated mic

#

to be fair

sage zinc
#

smexy

#

recommend me

#

dunno if ill like a dedicated mic

#

and how that works

#

like how do i place it down on my pc etc

#

just give me recommendations ill check

magic smelt
#

i'll put it in the pc list

sage zinc
#

okay smexy man

#

I don't know how good wireless headsets are atm

#

but I kinda like it

magic smelt
#

you want a wireless headset?

sage zinc
#

maybe do a wireless and non one

#

so i can compare

#

/choose

#

if you dont mind

magic smelt
#

fair enough

sage zinc
#

i was gonna ask something else

#

but i forgor

magic smelt
#

skull

sage zinc
#

7x skull emoji

#

ah yes

#

what do you recommend for the gpu?

#

get one now

#

or wait for the 40 series?

magic smelt
#

tbh i would probably get one now + 1440p monitor

sage zinc
#

i dont know

#

im doubting a lot

#

and that would be awaste of the 240 hertz monitor

#

idk why i would need a 1440 rn

magic smelt
#

27" 1080p kinda has bad ppi compared to 25" and smaller 1080p

#

1440p would look quite a bit sharper

sage zinc
#

i don't have any issues with it

#

maybe if i switch i wont be able to switch back

#

but im fine with 1080 p

#

its just like

magic smelt
#

well, how about having both monitors

sage zinc
#

will i be able to get a 40 series for a decent price or not

magic smelt
#

the 1080p240 and 1440p144

sage zinc
#

i dont knwo

#

eh

#

ill wait

#

i can always get the 1440p monitor later

#

its mostly about gpu

magic smelt
#

alright

sage zinc
#

idk

#

30 might eb nice

#

but 40 will be so much nicer i think

magic smelt
#

they'll also use different PSU connectors too

sage zinc
#

wdym?

#

will i need a new psu once i get the 40 series?

magic smelt
#

they'll use this thing

unknown.png
#

which isn't on any current gen PSUs, it could probably be converted but that's sus

sage zinc
#

bru

#

nvidia fucking me over

#

i just dont know man

#

maybe its like way better price performance

#

once they relase

magic smelt
sage zinc
#

alright

#

does the 3200 matter

#

in ram?

magic smelt
#

ballistix is very overclockable, so you can easily increase it by 400mhz

#

or more

sage zinc
#

Alright ry

#

Ill check once im home

#

cause my phones battery is likz 9 percent

#

one quick more thing

#

why is top.mounting aio sus?

#

And why 240mm

#

also will those 240 mm fans work like regular case fans too?

magic smelt
#

for GPU thermals anyway

#

it's just that clearance issues can happen sometimes

#

although, that's mainly with a thicc rad

#

like the arctic liquid freezer 2

magic smelt
sage zinc
#

ait ty

rigid fossil
sage zinc
#

oh fr?

#

thats nice

#

@magic smelt

#

mind if oyu leave it open for a bit

#

i wanna take my time in this yk?

magic smelt
magic smelt
#

it'll auto archive after a week but talking in it will unarchive it

sage zinc
sage zinc
#

same price

#

is there a diff between the V2 and the V1?

#

like the one which the full rgb fans and the one without

#

Like the SL edition or sum

#

also assuming the air flow on that case is aight

#

and hope the rgb is customisable?

#

is there any diff between these 2?

#

the second one is only available in 64 days so otherwise i just go for the first one

magic smelt
# sage zinc

the top one should have included usb-c and be cheaper

magic smelt
magic smelt
sage zinc
#

ait ty

sage zinc
#

other one's panel glass is just see trough or usm

#

or more

#

just checked

#

gonna look further soon

magic smelt
# sage zinc

you see how the bottom one has a black interior while the top is all white?

sage zinc
magic smelt
#

that is one of the differences

#

the all white version should have usb-c on it

sage zinc
#

ait ty

#

i go for all white

magic smelt
#

np

sage zinc
#

cause i need usb c

#

for my vr headset

#

currently i have like an adapter but that sucks

magic smelt
#

mobo has it on the back too

sage zinc
#

cool

sage zinc
#

@magic smelt what is the difference?

#

between top and bot

#

like 50 euros difference

magic smelt
#

bottom one is DDR4

magic smelt
#

usually it's like a 10 or so euro difference, i'm surprised it's that much for the board lol

sage zinc
#

ait ty

#

and would the 360mm lian li galahad fit on the top of the case?

#

and how will I use this?

#

is this just like to tune how loud i sound etc?

sage zinc
#

Well I wanted to get the 360 mm one but it's only available in 63 workdays

#

or the white one is atleast

#

so either I go 240 mm or 360 black

#

nvm im gonna get it from another site

sage zinc
#

We start here

last nebula
#

what the fuck

sage zinc
#

Alright you made it

last nebula
#

since when is this a thing

sage zinc
#

Couple of months

last nebula
#

Holy shit I had no idea

sage zinc
#

kek

#

Okay

last nebula
#

wow this is convenient

sage zinc
#

it defo is

#

okay

#

cpu

#

12700 or 12700K

#

you guys said that core speed doesn't matter

#

so for now we stick with the 12700

#

I just don't know

#

know what

#

we wait

#

i need some time to wait

#

and think

last nebula
#

M8 I'ma sleep on this

#

it's 5 am for me

sage zinc
#

yeah

#

go to bed man

last nebula
#

Good luck and don't rush

sage zinc
#

I won't

sage zinc
#

I can get 2x 1tb sn 850 for the same price as the sn 750 SE

#

cuz of a sale

#

idk how long it will last though

#

cuz ill probably only buy in like 2 weeks when I'm back from camp so it'll probably be over sadlyt

oak hamlet
sage zinc
#

into a K version with an msi pro ....

#

i got the budget

sage zinc
oak hamlet
oak hamlet
sage zinc
#

im just gonna copy everything

#

to belgium etc

#

gonna switch up the storage too

#

and probs gonna go for the non sl edition

#

for the rest its perfect ty

#

just dont know about the gpu

#

actually seems good

#

for the rest

#

ty jotaro

oak hamlet
#

Np AscJotaroWalk

sage zinc
#

Where will i mount the AIO fans?

#

@oak hamlet

#

side or top?

#

wait but will the aio be good enough

#

cause you said my cpu would run hot

oak hamlet
#

Your choice and u can run it with slight overclock for gaming sure

sage zinc
#

ill see

#

otherwise i jsut switch case and aio

#

dont think the air mini can fit a 360mm aio?

oak hamlet
#

It can fit 280mm which is a big jump in performance compared to 240mm

#

Generally there's a bigger gap of performance between 240mm to 280mm than 280mm to 360mm

sage zinc
#

I'll see

#

ty

sage zinc
#

@last nebula

#

thats what i came up with

#

and @magic smelt

#

^^

last nebula
#

I like it

#

This is the fan config you're going with?

#

Rad on top, 2 on the front, 3 on the bottom, and 1 in the back?

#

Only thing I wanna check is the PSU

#

Yep it's a tier

#

Personally, I'd get a 360 mm rad just for the looks but airflow wise, you're more than fine

#

The SSDs and RAM are overkill for gaming but for video editing, its understandable

#

Also, I'm under the impression that you have a 1060 rn and are waiting for rtx 4000 to upgrade it but you're upgrading the rest of the rig now?

sage zinc
#

850 is cheaper than 750se

#

believe it or not

#

its a sale or.smth

#

I'll be buying in likz 15 days since im out of the country foe a while so the sale is probs gonna be over and ima be sad but you never know

sage zinc
#

cant run discord smoothly while gaming

sage zinc
#

if it is then yza

sage zinc
#

Gonna switcj aios to a 280mm

magic smelt
#

tbf the galahad 240 would perform similarly to a generic 280/360

#

which is why I picked it

#

premium 280 is only rgb ek aio and lf2

magic smelt
last nebula
#

Ah okay

#

Then you're fine

#

I just like it for the looks

magic smelt
#

you can kinda shove in a 360mm on the top of the o11 air mini, but it's kinda sus

#

dunno why they decided to make it 2mm shorter

oak hamlet
#

I would top mount 240 Galahad if u like that aio

#

It does compete with 280 asetek aios ya just kinda pricey

magic smelt
#

i just picked the gaming x as a place holder because it was a popular one

magic smelt
#

headphones too

#

also allows you to easily adjust volume of both

sage zinc
magic smelt
sage zinc
#

someone told me it wont

#

and that my 12700k will get overheated

sage zinc
magic smelt
sage zinc
#

i never opened up my pc before kek

magic smelt
sage zinc
#

it's gotta be dusty af

magic smelt
#

which one

sage zinc
#

predator G3

#

nvm

magic smelt
#

wow the inside looks like a pc from 2004

sage zinc
#

not correct

#

it says 970

sage zinc
#

green fucking mobo

#

It was honestly a good pc

#

except for temps

#

idk why but i feel like teh extra 40 mm space on top would be so awkward

#

but I'll be fine

magic smelt
#

just put it in the center of the rad mount

sage zinc
#

alright

#

damn this one is hella clean

#

wait do i need a support for my gpu?

magic smelt
#

without the support, it'll droop a little

sage zinc
magic smelt
sage zinc
#

Alright

#

I'm gonna need to watch some more vids

#

Caus eI have no clue what I'm gonna be doing

#

idek what cables go where

magic smelt
#

and frankly you can solve gpu sag with a piece of string lol

sage zinc
#

alr

#

I worry that ill fuck shit up

#

but ill be fine

#

just think and take my time

#

megekko has a sicks ale too

#

SN 850 for the same price as SN750 SE

#

but it'll probably be over once im back home to buy the pc

oak hamlet
#

@sage zinc 240 Galahad, liquid freezer ii, and ek aio all compete with other 280 aios so that's fine

sage zinc
#

ive been told

#

for ocing

#

so id go liquid freezer II

magic smelt
#

LF2 280 is better since you don't care that much about the aesthetics

#

so yeah

sage zinc
#

I mean

#

LF2 looks fine imo

#

just not white

magic smelt
#

it would be cool if they made a white one

#

they already make white fans

#

arctic, make it happen already smh

oak hamlet
#

U can go deep cool castle ex

magic smelt
sage zinc
sage zinc
#

not gonna pay 500 euros for a white mobo

magic smelt
#

kek, true

magic smelt
#

@glass sandal @timid elm @sage zinc

timid elm
#

Necro lul

glass sandal
#

I didn’t know there was a thread

sage zinc
#

Yeah

timid elm
#

And a very old one at that

sage zinc
#

It's something I've been looking at for quite a while

magic smelt
#

the thread was probably forgotten because it was archived

sage zinc
#

I finally accepted not getting a 12700k

#

cuz it would probably be way too much overkill

#

I was also settled on the 40 series

#

But I'm probably gonna see when 30 series prices drop now

#

Cuz the 40 series is a gamble

#

Either it's worth and im gonna be happy waiting

#

or it wont be

#

or i wont be able to get a 40 series card

glass sandal
#

Don’t wait please

#

Waiting leads to disappointment in the PC industry

timid elm
#

Waiting is like preordering but with your time.

sage zinc
#

Okay I wont wait then

#

But isnt the 3070 for 1440?

magic smelt
#

the 3070 and above are capable of 1440p or 4K

sage zinc
#

Yeah but im on 1080p

magic smelt
#

you have the budget to buy a 1440p monitor along with a PC upgrade

sage zinc
#

What do I do with the 240 hertz one then :(

magic smelt
#

secondary monitor

sage zinc
#

thats so useless tho

#

it just sits thzre

#

no real use of the 240 hertz

magic smelt
#

i have 2 monitors, it's extremely handy

#

i wish i had 3 lmao

sage zinc
#

I have 3 rn

#

But only use 2 tbf

#

Whqts the max amount of monitors I can get running on a pc?

magic smelt
#

usually it's 4 on one GPU, but can be expanded with your integrated graphics (usually 2-4) or buying another GPU

sage zinc
#

Im gonna try 4

#

seems fun

#

I just dunno

#

I wanna go overkill so bad

#

but its not worth it rly

sage zinc
#

Crypto dead

#

and other stuffs

glass sandal
#

Right now is basically the best time to buy shit

#

June-August is the golden period of every year

sage zinc
#

GPU prices arent dropping for me tho

#

If the websites I want to get my stuff on get a 40 series I can easily be tje first to get one too

#

Company priority

#

Ill just get a 30 series then tho

#

but its the same price as like 4 months before which suxks

#

and im not planning on buying shit on ebay

#

Anyways

#

@glass sandal Is there any reason to get a 12700k?

#

I'm guessing not?

glass sandal
#

12600K will suffice
