#Valkyria Build Help
quasi sierra
i see
I'm just annoyed every chat is dog-pilling me and attacking me for my choices. Its very hard to get any help.
wind crown
CPU: Overkill to several levels of extreme for gaming
Motherboard: Straight up missing
RAM: 2x16 is cheaper
Storage: Straight up missing
GPU: Fine
Case: Overpriced and not that good
PSU: Overpriced for what it is
quasi sierra
I know they are missing I left them blank on purpose.
minor torrent
The build is interesting for sure, what are you planning on doing?
quasi sierra
I want it to be overkill. As for ram I want 4 sticks cause it'll be more RGB. The case is for the corsair RGB software, I want to have it all linked and controllable.
wind crown
have you thought about using different RGB syncing
also your GPU won't sync with the rest of the PC
quasi sierra
I couldn't find one as advanced or wide spread as corsair's.
craggy pasture
yeah i wouldnt get corsair just for rgb
quasi sierra
The whole ICUE thing interest me.
wind crown
A lot of RGB devices support several different software
quasi sierra
Its that and I've had their cooler and ram for ages and its never failed me.
So I trust in them I guess.
wind crown
Corsair is quite a closed system for RGB
quasi sierra
As for the PSU it had the touch screen and I want a Platinum rated PSU. Bad experience with a gold rated and I guess I refuse to do lesser now.
I guess its all a bit silly I just kinda like that stuff.
craggy pasture
rating doesnt really mean anything as they can be faked

Thermaltake
craggy pasture
model?
quasi sierra
Came faulty and used to make my pc restart if i was playing certain games.
Lemme look
wind crown
do you need WIFI
quasi sierra
750 Watts - Thermaltake Toughpower - 80 PLUS Gold, Semi Modular Power Supply
brisk sage
Just sending a message to pin this thread, don’t mind me
quasi sierra
I have a Wi-Fi Card already.
I'm stressed as Prime Day ends in a day and I'm stuck In-between wondering if I should keep waiting till I've learned more and newer stuff is released.
marble oriole
750 Watts - Thermaltake Toughpower - 80 PLUS Gold, Semi Modular Power Supply
Which model is that?
GF1?
quasi sierra
No idea I got it in 2014 with my pre-built.
That's all the info it had on the sheet.
wind crown
@quasi sierra https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Y7JTzf all controllable by MSI Mystic Light
marble oriole
I see
wind crown
every single piece of RGB in there
craggy pasture
theres also still space for a better gpu
quasi sierra
Interesting list.
craggy pasture
unless a msi one is overpriced
quasi sierra
Does amazon do sales like prime day often or just sales on parts in general?
wind crown
I went with a more expensive GPU so it synced with the rest of the PC
quasi sierra
I feel very pressured to act now I guess.
wind crown
prime day is once a year
quasi sierra
so the deals are never as good?
wind crown
depends
but since you wanted RGB sync I made a list where it is all controlled by 1 software
quasi sierra
Also if anyone wouldn't mind I could use a friend to add. As I don't know anyone with much pc expertise and this is likely something I won't decide on today.
As for your list it looks nice in terms of appearance and I've heard of the brands. Just not familiar with them and that makes me nervous.
I'm unsure if I should wait for the 4000 series of gpus.
wind crown
Corsair locks you into their line for RGB. A lot of RGB devices usually support 4 or 5 different software
quasi sierra
As the games I'd be playing in 4k already suggest a 3080. And I bet the new releases won't handle well on it if they suggested it 2 years ago.
wind crown
get more options for RGB when not using Corsair
quasi sierra
Like what?
wind crown
all of that
That AIO is compatible with 5 different RGB software
Most RGB AIOs will support MSI mystic light
quasi sierra
And you say its superior to corsair's?
brisk sage
And literally everything in between
wind crown
you get more options
wind crown
instead of being limited to just Corsair AIOs for RGB sync. You can usually pretty much 90% of AIOs on the market and still get sync
brisk sage
Best performance is gonna be EK or Arctic
wind crown
galahad is up there as well
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/svkgXL/ek-ek-aio-240-d-rgb-6604-cfm-liquid-cpu-cooler-ek-aio-240-d-rgb 1 dollar more
quasi sierra
So all the RGB can link despite them being separate brands?
wind crown
yes
brisk sage
Well, if you buy a asus motherboard but an msi gpu or something
They aren’t gonna sync
wind crown
motherboard and GPU RGB is usually locked to 1 software
that is why I matched them up
quasi sierra
Do you think now is a good time to buy or like is new everything on the horizon?
wind crown
A lot of RGB devices don't even have their own software. They just support others
quasi sierra
DDR5 Ram still isn't purchasable?
brisk sage
If you can wait a couple of months the 4000 series will be out
Ddr5 is out, but is quite expensive and not a lot of performance benefit
quasi sierra
I was waiting but I fear I'll not get deals like this again.
brisk sage
You probably won’t
wind crown
@quasi sierra This AIO doesn't actually have any RGB software made by that company
brisk sage
In fact, I doubt you’ll get a 4000 series at msrp until like
A year later
There’s always a gpu price spike at release
wind crown
you need another companies' RGB software to use that
quasi sierra
It sucks I can't just upgrade my PC but everything on it is so out of date.
brisk sage
They just piggy back off of aura sync (asus) or mystic light (msi) or something else
craggy pasture
my i3 2100
quasi sierra
Thanks for being friendly and helping me out also. The other Discord I asked in was extremely hostile. As for Prime Day. Like GPU's are on huge discount and it makes me wonder if I should try now.
Ouch that's old
craggy pasture
multitasking is not an option
only maybe discord and a game
and even i struggle to run roblox lol
quasi sierra
My one fear in all of this.
Is have 2200 dollars in my Amazon Wallet.
And I'm always worried they will delete it or something.
So that pressures me to buy something asap.
The amount of info on parts is overwhelming, especially with these Intel GPUs coming out.
brisk sage
Intel gpus aren’t gonna be for gaming
I personally would recommend buy now, the deals are pretty fantastic (as I found out in the chat with that 70 dollar 360 lol) and I doubt 4000 series will be cost effective anytime soon
quasi sierra
What about newer CPU's and other stuff? Are they also right around the corner?
brisk sage
Sorta
wet cipher
Probably around September
brisk sage
4000 series gpus and intel 13th gen and amd 7000 are all coming like Q3 this year
But again, early adopter tax is one hell of a thing, probably going to be expensive as hell
wet cipher
Were in a tough "wait a few months or get a good system now" situation for all parts basically
brisk sage
I personally got a system now and will probably skip 13th gen and 4000
But that’s because I sold my gaming laptop and needed a system that wasn’t my mac now
quasi sierra
Do any of you mind if I add you by the way? It be nice to have friends who know stuff and can talk to if I ever have questions. Hard to find friendly people in the pc community.
As for buying now Its stressful I hate being on a timer and I gotta look at all these parts now lol.
minor torrent
PC community is scary
quasi sierra
How so
wind crown
opinions and misinformation galore
minor torrent
A lot of assholes and elitists, hard to find people who can look at things in a perspective other than theirs
wind crown
there is tons of brand loyalty as well
minor torrent
It’s a constant fight between people who think they’re smarter than everyone else
brisk sage
Don’t mind, but I probably wont respond much lmao
wet cipher
Always just ask in the public chat instead of dm, 4 minds is heater than 1.
wet cipher
I've seen way too many people start dming people who don't exactly know what they're talking about
quasi sierra
I'll just add and if you wanna decline or accept its cool.
wind crown
while everyone obviously has some level of loyalty. You need to stay objective
quasi sierra
And I don't mean for like DM bias or stuff about parts.
Just never have the chance to meet others who like this stuff.
wind crown
I don't care who's name is on the label
quasi sierra
Normally the chats are toxic lol.
I just hope the current GPUs are enough for 4k gaming.
wind crown
sorry if I originally came off rude
minor torrent
People suck
minor torrent
I have a friend who does 4K144 on his 3080ti, we’re there already
Next Gen will be better but we’re there already
quasi sierra
Ti is a big leap?
minor torrent
From the standard 3080 12GB? Not by a whole ton
quasi sierra
the 3080s I saw are 10gb.
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/M6zhP6/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-xc3-ultra-hybrid-gaming-video-card-12g-p5-4868-kl I wanted to suggest this card as it is faster than the gaming X trio I suggested, but it wouldn't sync with MSI
craggy pasture
there are many variants
quasi sierra
I know if I wanna play far cry 6 it uses more than 10gb vram.
minor torrent
Still not a huge jump from the 10GB variant
brisk sage
I have a friend who does 4K144 on his 3080ti, we’re there already
Yeah, that was my my thinking when I bought my system
quasi sierra
So that's one reason why I feel the current gpus aren't good enough.
brisk sage
12700kf and 3080ti are gonna do me just fine
wind crown
@quasi sierra how does that 3080 I linked look to you
brisk sage
I play at 2k anyway
brisk sage
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/M6zhP6/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-xc3...
Don’t think that has much rgb anyway
wind crown
I am a slight hybrid GPU fanboy I am warning you
minor torrent
So that's one reason why I feel the current gpus aren't good enough.
Oh nah, FC6 is just insanely unoptimized
quasi sierra
Is that a watercooled gpu?
wind crown
yes
brisk sage
I am a slight hybrid GPU fanboy I am warning you
I totally would have gotten hybrid if I didn’t go sff
minor torrent
And that’s only if you’re using the extremely high res texture pack
brisk sage
I’m considering doing a custom loop in my SFF rn
quasi sierra
Pricey lol
brisk sage
It’s soooo tempting
wind crown
Pricey lol
cheaper than the MSI GPU I linked
brisk sage
But probably not great for travel
quasi sierra
wtf lol o.o
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wQNxFT/evga-geforce-rtx-3080-12gb-lhr-12-gb-ftw3-ultra-gaming-video-card-12g-p5-4877-kl there is also this as well
minor torrent
3080 XC3U Hybrid based
brisk sage
The hybrid card you linked has like
A line of text that’s rgb
Just set it to rainbow
Literally doesn’t matter lol
wind crown
AIO fanboy here
minor torrent
FTW3 for $800 god damn
quasi sierra
My other concern is I'll be moving soon and worried as I've never moved a gaming pc. So if I buy now i fear it'll difficult to move. But I bet I worry too much and they can handle it.
wind crown
My other concern is I'll be moving soon and worried as I've never moved a gaming...
remove GPU and RAM first before moving
minor torrent
GPU and Cooler is what I remove
brisk sage
Since the card doesn’t have a heavy cooler on it
wind crown
Honestly hybrid is probably easier to move
still a massive weight on the PCIe slot
quasi sierra
I've heard to remove GPU but never the ram.
minor torrent
I’ve never removed RAM
wind crown
GPU and Cooler is what I remove
I suggested AIO so probably fine there
quasi sierra
I dropped my ram when Installing it once so I'm a bit spooked by the idea of damaging stuff.
minor torrent
I suggested AIO so probably fine there
Fair
brisk sage
still a massive weight on the PCIe slot
I’m just throwing my SFF in a pelican case and doing carry on lol
Advantage of SFF
minor torrent
As someone who often moves his PC way too much, I always make sure to remove GPU and cooler
Except obv when it’s an AIO
AIO isn’t gonna get damaged in a move
quasi sierra
Makes me feel better.
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qnfDk9 join the dual AIO gang
quasi sierra
i really like that motherboard
minor torrent
If you’re really worried, you could also get some of that self inflating packing foam
quasi sierra
I gotta look at cases and such. Also, I take it buying half a pc in terms of parts and storing it is a bad idea.
If something was faulty I'd be passed warranty etc.
wet cipher
Buy all at once always
wind crown
@quasi sierra you mentioned 2200 on amazon. I assume the system has to fully be from Amazon?
quasi sierra
My current was a pre-built that I replaced everything except the motherboard and cpu.
Yes as I've no other funds at the moment.
I've been saving gift cards basically.
wind crown
one moment I have a list to fix
quasi sierra
My luck they'd think I'm a scammer or thief based on my gift balance.
Legit been saving all my gifts for like 4 years.
I wonder how much tax will be on 2000 dollars.
that's the one thing that likely kill me on this.
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2mw84s well GPU went up
quasi sierra
I could maybe use my Amazon funds to buy everything but GPU and keep using my current or maybe try that AFFIRM to get the GPU.
I've been wondering how that works. Pay monthly for gpu.
minor torrent
It’s just financing
wet cipher
What gpu do you have?
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/qFvNgb dropped 100
quasi sierra
gtx 1080 ftw.
wet cipher
It might not be able to handle 4k gaming
quasi sierra
It can't.
wet cipher
Yea idk how 4k gaming would go on that
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/WnrRsY/xfx-radeon-rx-6900-xt-16-gb-speedster-swft-319-video-card-rx-69xtaqfd9 how do you feel about AMD
@minor torrent check main chat
quasi sierra
Seeing how it has more VRAM I likely better off.
minor torrent
Why Z690 Edge goddamn that’s pricey
quasi sierra
Also, is there any good anti-dust cases?
That's a huge issue with my current build.
I get a ton of dust in my AIO fans and gpu.
wind crown
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4p7yqm most cases now have dust filters
wet cipher
Most cases now come with dust filters but the best way to avoid it is by cleaning your room. Most cases targeted at low distance have no airflow
quasi sierra
I see.
minor torrent
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4p7yqm most cases now have dust filters
Why G6 1000 if you don’t mind me asking
minor torrent
Could do with a C750 2022 or G6 850
brisk sage
Or i can look at it and use it later?
quasi sierra
neat
wet cipher
Will this thread vanish by the way?
24 hours vanish this one is I think
wind crown
could someone fix the list please
wet cipher
24 hours without activity that is
brisk sage
24 hours without activity that is
doesnt it archive and u can still see it?
Worst case just copy and paste the whole thing
quasi sierra
Any good 4k monitor deals?
minor torrent
<@345353135826534400> amazon only make sure
What about this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ynbcRv
C750 should still be more than enough for the 3080 and 12600K
If you want an SSD better than A60, P31 also exists for around same price as the SN570
wind crown
What about this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ynbcRv
@quasi sierra
minor torrent
This also works if you want a better SSD for whatever reason
And 850W just in case
quasi sierra
thanks
