u/ConqueefStador · 6 pointsr/buildapc

For someone just starting out I think the first, best thing you can do is head on over to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/.

It's a system builder that lists parts, allows you to search through products and price out a virtual build before you start buying.

One good thing is that is check for compatibility between the different parts you choose so you don't run into any trouble. Like if you start off by picking an AMD processor when you go to search for a motherboard it will only list AMD boards (instead of Intel boards) and only boards that work with that chip.

So it's a great resource for first time builders to start getting a better understanding of the parts they need.

As far as MicroCenter it's hands downs the best place to go to buy your CPU & motherboard because of the combo deal. Check their website for some of the other parts you need because they might also offer a discount with those, for things such as SSDs, GPUs, and ram.

But I would also look around (for parts other than your CPU & mobo) on sites like Amazon and Newegg to try and find the best price for your chosen parts.

WARNING: Never buy a monitor from Newegg. Their return policy is garbage, you need to have something like 8 dead pixels for them to do a return. For other items though you can sometimes find good deals.

Also start browsing around on /r/buildapcsales. You'll see some deals but also be sure to read the comments. You'll get on the ground insight from users as to what the good products and the good companies are. I knew nothing about building PCs when I started and I learned almost everything passively just by browsing that sub every day while I looked for deals on parts I needed.

Right now $1500-$2000 can get you a very beefy machine, but there are a lot of choices you're going to have to make as far as what type of machine you want to build.

And I think the first question needs to be do you want to prioritize performance or aesthetics. Now that might sound silly but building your first PC is going to open Pandora's box and once you join the community and start seeing other people's builds there's a good chance you'll find yourself dreaming of having your own glass box with pretty lights one day.

Check out /r/battlestations to see what I'm taking about. You'll see some gorgeous machines there.

Now building a nice looking machine doesn't mean you'll be running a piece of under powered crap, it just means that, staying within a budget, sometimes you'll shave a little off the top in terms of overall performance for something that might make you smile when you look at it. Like spending a bit extra on some 3200Mhz RGB ram modules over some 3600Mhz non RGB sticks. One is faster and cheaper, one is a bit slower and much prettier.

Aesthetics are very important to some people, so ask yourself if you care about that. If you don't that works too! You can put the extra money towards more performance and shove all your shit into a windowless black box that you never have to see.

After that you're going to need to figure out which type of CPU you want, Intel or AMD. The chasm of competition and fanboy-ism that separates these two is as wide as Mac vs PC. Here Intel is Mac and AMD is PC. Intel is the powerful, fancy, over priced company with very good products and some very shitty anti-consumer practices. AMD is the cheeky underdog upstart that does a lot of things better and for much cheaper but also can be plagued with issues.

For someone just starting out I would suggest buying the entry level CPU for the current generation of chips. For Intel I think that would be the i5 9600k (don't quote me on that, I know less about Intel than AMD) and for AMD I would suggest looking at the Ryzen 5 3600x. I'm suggesting the slightly more expensive version of their base model because it comes with a better stock cooler and it's slightly faster right out of the box without having to manually tune it which might be difficult for a beginner.

Now there are more powerful, more expensive CPUs you can buy that have more CPU cores, but mostly these don't really benefit gaming all that much. You're usually much better off spending extra money on on your GPU since that is what is going to power your games.

For GPUs it's a very similar story of competition, except here it's AMD (yes they make GPUs too) vs NVidia. Same story though with NVidia playing the part of Mac. These are a little harder to blindly recommend without knowing more about your build (like what type of monitor you want) but I'll give you three safe options.

  • The 1660 Ti ($250-300) An NVidia card, a pretty solid choice for playing games on Ultra settings at 1080p resolution. Frame rates vary by game but expect to see 75-95 FPS consistently. They can also run 1440p but it will be more work, your card will run hotter and louder (because they fans will spin up to keep cool) and average about 50-60 FPS.

  • The 2060 Super. ($400 - $480) Another NVidia card. A lot more card for a lot more money. Great for games at 1080p averaging over 100 FPS and also do well in 1440p around 80 FPS. NVidia cards also have a feature called Ray Tracing which models light and reflections much better than standard and makes everything look very pretty and natural. The problem is it's a BIG performance hit and not many games make use of it right now. It's the technology of tomorrow, not today, so decide if it's worth gettin' in on that early.

  • The 5700 Series. ($370 - $460) Our first AMD cards. This is the brand new line up from AMD, only about a month old. There's the 5700 and the 5700 XT models. 5700 XT is more powerful and typical $50-$60 bucks more, worth it if you ask me, but the 5700 will get you close if you need the savings. These cards will play the shit out of games at 1080p, hitting 130-150FPS easy. When we start talking about monitors you'll hear the magic number 144Hz/144FPS from a lot of enthusiast gamers/builders. This is apparently the Nirvana of frame rates where shit looks butter smooth and it's so orgasmic technically it counts as losing your virginity if you haven't done that yet. Personally I don't get the hype but I have kinda bad vision so I'm not the best person to talk to about that. From AMD you can also look in to the RX 580 and the RX 590 series, which are probably comparable to the 1660 Ti for maybe a little bit cheaper?

    Now comes the question of monitors. I did another right up all about monitors that breaks down the basics. It should give you a solid base of understanding a show you the relation between your monitor and you GPU, basically you don't want to spend a whole lot on a fancy monitor that can display a game at 144 FPS if you buy a less expensive GPU that can only run the game at 80 FPS. You also need to decide on size, smaller screens with lower resolution will need less powerful GPUs to get good FPS, larger screens and higher resolutions need something more powerful. Once you start to know more about what you want you can find the sweet spot balance between your monitor and you GPU.

    Gonna end there cause I'm sure that's a lot to take in.

    Feel to to PM with any questions and enjoy your first build!
u/NorthStarPC · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

Alright, after an hour of searching and compiling, I’ve come up with an AMD-based build with Full RGB aesthetics.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07SQBFN2D/ref=ox_sc_act_image_8?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

This Processor has an insane value for the money. This will handle moderate workstation, browsing, virtualization, and heavy gaming. I feel like you would benefit from a 3600X rather than a 3600 as it has better stock and OC speeds. The 3600X is only $40 more than the 3600 on Amazon.

GPU: MSI Mech OC Radeon RX 5700 XT

https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-5700-xt-rx-5700-xt-mech-oc/p/N82E16814137465?item=N82E16814137465

The 5700 XT will absolutely shred 1080p gaming and excel at 1440p gaming. You can easily achieve 144+FPS at 1080p resolution & max settings on Fortnite, Rust, Rainbow Six Siege, CS:GO, Dota, COD, and Minecraft (with heavy mods) and 100+FPS on many AAA titles. In addition to that, the 5700 XT can even handle 4K gaming in games such as Forza, eSport titles, GTA, etc.
I went with the Mech OC model as it is the best model that is still in stock. It’ll provide better thermals compared to blower-styled reference cards.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3600 16GB

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07TC4TPCN/ref=ox_sc_act_image_5?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

With Zen 2 natively supporting higher RAM frequencies, there’s no reason to not surpass the 3000MHz threshold. 3600MHz seems to be the “sweet spot” for Zen 2 as suggested by AMD and many other technical experts.


SSD: Sabrent Rocket 4 1TB NVMe SSD

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LGF54XR/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A29Y8OP2GPR7PE&psc=1

The Sabrent Rocket is among the top of the value for money list in the storage market. This is near equal to Intel’s popular 660p SSD, but it has nearly double the performance. Unlike the Intel 660P, the Rocket 4 uses the Toshiba TLC NAND, which has better quality and sustained speeds during read and write cycles.

MOBO: MSI MPG X570 Gaming Plus

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16813144262?item=N82E16813144262

This motherboard is a mid-range X570 board. It will enable you to have a very decent OC and RGB Sync experience. I would strongly recommend getting a X570 to get PCIe 4.0 support and bypassing the hassle of a BIOS update.

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 650W 80+ Gold Modular

https://www.newegg.com/evga-supernova-g3-series-220-g3-0650-y1-650w/p/N82E16817438094?item=N82E16817438094

The last thing you want to do in a build is to cheap out on the power supply. The EVGA SuperNOVA series is one of the best PSU series out there. The G3 650W is fully modular, as well as having a 80+ Gold rating. I also believe there is a 10 year warranty of this model. Also, there is currently a $20 rebate on Newegg for this power supply.

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master ML240L AIO Cooler

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075YPG52N/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=A1FEO2FBXOY7WI&psc=1

The ML240L is a perfect option for the 3600X. It is one of the best budget AIOs out there. It will provide better thermals compared to stock coolers and bring better RGB aesthetics to the build.

Case: Thermaltake Level 20 MT RGB Mid-Tower

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07LCMR3JC/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The Level 20 MT is perfect for this build. This is a case that is known to provide good airflow, which will definitely help with the thermals. It also features 3 TT RGB fans, which can be synced to the RAM, MOBO, GPU, and AIO CPU Cooler.

Monitor: Acer KG241Q 23.6” Full HD 144Hz Monitor

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MG85X1M/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The KG241Q is a 1ms, 144hz 1080p monitor with a TN-panel. While the colors are not as vibrant as IPS-Panel monitors, you will get better responsiveness with the TN panels. Also, the KG241Q features AMD FreeSync technology, which can be used to your advantage to reduce stuttering and tearing during gaming, since you have an AMD GPU.

So that’s it. I know this a $100-200 over $1400. But this is a build with no $$$ wasted. If you have any questions, fell free to reply or PM me.

So there's a few things with this.

Firstly, you're not going to be able to get a great gaming PC for $400. You'll be able to play stuff with it but don't come into this expecting super max graphics ;)

As far as your PC parts go, so long as you feel your HDD is OK, that's the only thing to keep for a new build. That being said, if you're currently using it as the main OS drive for your current PC, consider doing a clean OS install onto the drive when you build the new one, assuming you have any important things backed up etc. first.

CPU: Intel G4560 ($70)

GPU: RX 460 ($90)

Motherboard: ASRock B250M Pro4 ($74)

RAM: 8GB DDR4 ($55)

PSU: [Seasonic S12II 520W](https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-520-BRONZE-SS-520GB /dp/B00390P1NO/) ($45)

Case: HAF 912 ($60)

Total Cost: $394

Just using mostly Amazon and Newegg for you. Keep an eye on pricing, I've quoted full prices yet these parts do have rebates on from time to time, which could save you more money :)

So my main choices for the parts was based like this. Firstly, you're not going to get a better CPU without spending another $50 onto the i3 7100. Because of the choice in CPU, the RX 460 is the best performance for the price. You could spend more onto a more powerful GPU but you're not going to see the benefit with that CPU. Motherboard is a modern board for the current Intel chipset, so you should be comfortably able to get upgrades for this for a good number of years to come. As part of that, I've given you a single 8GB stick of DDR4, leaving you plenty of free slots on the board to upgrade your RAM in the future. DO NOT USE YOUR OLD RAM. The PSU is powerful enough to be able to handle bigger CPU and GPU's if you want to do bigger upgrades to those in the future and the HAF 912 case gives you plenty of flexibility for size and design internally to cover that too.

All told, that's about as good as you're going to be able to do for $400.

First suggested upgrades would be to spend around $50 on a SSD to use as an OS boot drive to make the system a little bit more snappy. Next upgrade would be for a more powerful CPU some point down the line, followed by GPU.

Honestly, I'm going to chime in and also say it's probably due to the CPU bottlenecking you. AMD unfortunately does have a slight higher CPU overhead (put simply, the actuality of the CPU usage on AMD vs Nvidia is more complex), and that might be why you are actually seeing a decrease in performance, and why the GPU doesn't seem to get up to / stay at 100% usage often: the CPU just isn't there to hand out the GPU instructions fast enough. AMD makes great cards though, and generally speaking, you get a better bang for your buck going with AMD because nVidia's mindshare is just so strong, and everyone thinks 'they're the best! nvidia or nothing!'. The Fury card you have is a great one and you definitely should be getting more frames out of it than with a 760.

Here is a 4670 new for about $200. That CPU will be your best bet if you are set on getting a new CPU. Otherwise, I'd browse eBay or craiglist or whatever for any used Haswell CPU that is a true 4core chip. Ironically, if trying to go cheaper than that buying a NEW cpu, on Amazon if you look for a 4430 (Intel's lowest-end 4core that will work with your motherboard), not only is it not available, but it's also more expensive than a 4670. On eBay though, it seems you can get a 4670 or even a 4670K (slightly higher clocks 4core than 4670, and you can overclock it) for less than a new 4670 on Amazon.

I bought a CPU off eBay a long time ago to upgrade from a duocore, and it went great. CPUs are very hardy, and don't really ever 'wear out' during their lifetime. I've had a second hand CPU off eBay (that I've given to my brother at this point) running 24/7 under 100% load for almost 6 years, and it's still going strong to this day!

Getting a new CPU should bring up your FPS quite a lot and help unleash the power of your Fury, which is by far the most powerful component in your current build. Browse around on eBay or see what you can get on Amazon/Newegg that's in your price range. Just save up if you have to and don't buy less than a 4core, preferably in the 4570 - 4770K range. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!

  1. If you must buy amd (I understand budget but believe me you will be paying more in terms of electricity usage than a fairly recent intel processor) you must check out microcenters motherboard+cpu bundles here

  2. If you don't mind switching to intel (can't see why not :) for about 150 (same price as you paid for motherboard+cpu) you can get the much better performing a-10 7860k and a better mobo than you have. Even for 130 you have the better cpu with a decent mobo. That being said I truly want you to explore intels lga 1151 socket cpus, a great one to start with is the g4400 [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662G4400-Pentium-Processor-FCLGA1151/dp/B015VPX05A/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469572148&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Intel+g4440). It is a lga 1151 compatible cpu that is very power efficient and can def run gta v on med low settings. It is only 61 bucks and you can later upgrade to a i5 that is the same socket for your mobo. A good budget mobo for that cpu is the Msi lga 1151 gaming here

    that cpu mobo combo is not only better in terms on power consumption, single threaded performance, and upgradeability, but it saves you around 30 bucks.

    Everything else is pretty much good although I would have tried to get the extra 100 for a 4gb 960, I understand if you were under a strict budget, I am too!

    Tl:dr Better deal on amd mobo+cpu or go intel g4400 cus lga 1151 is better long term and more efficient.
    Congrats

AMD processors are good for balance, Intel is good for gaming. (You can still stream very well with intel, I highly prefer intel because all their processors are amazing.

Nvidea or evga for GPU'S. (They're the best at making graphics cards)

MSI for the motherboard, Always MSI, MSI is the best at making motherboards. (There are a lot of brands that make motherboards but nothing will beat MSI in my opinion.

​

I built a good pc that's 916$ all together minus the RTX 2080 video card i got for it.

With this video card in total is 1772$ (I love this PC and I hope you will too)

At first, I was so worried that this PC wouldn't turn on. :P

This was my first PC build and so far I'm in love with this monster pc.

I recommend a 750 power supply just for a little more watt for the video card but I don't think that much is necessary for an RTX 2080, nvidea recommends a 650 watt for it.

On a plus side this case and motherboard+GPU has flashy lights, If you love flashy lights I would go for a good ATX RGB PSU and you need a new CPU cooler if you want RGB ram, That cooler is huge.

​

It plays everything ultra and always will give you 60 fps no matter what. (Besides BFV, You can't have 200% resolution in that game with ray tracing on)

I've been helping people pick computer parts a lot lately, and here's my go-to current build (as in, where I feel price/performance is optimized)--it's usually around $1000, NOT including monitors. I built two for my company (minus the video card), and they are wonderful. If you want to compare: CPUs, GPUs.

>Case: Corsair 200R, $73

>http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-200R-Compact-CC-9011023-WW/dp/B009GXZ8MM/

>Cases cheaper than this price point will become flimsy, break, literally cut you, and otherwise fall apart over time. I like the way the 200R is, too--no LEDs, no weird shapes, and 2.5" drive slots.

-

>Motherboard: Asus Z97-A, $145

>http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z97-A-DDR3-2600-Motherboards/dp/B00K2MAU5Q/

>This is a medium range motherboard with PWM case fan pins: an extremely quiet combo. It's more important than you think.

-

>CPU: i7-4790K, $336

>http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-4790K-Processor-Cache-BX80646I74790K/dp/B00KPRWAX8/

>While we're on CPUs: GHZ MEANS ALMOST NOTHING FOR PERFORMANCE. My 2Ghz i7 in my Mac outperforms my 4Ghz 2500K in my desktop. It's annoying that it's even mentioned in anything but overclocking guides.

-

>Memory: 16GB Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB), $130

>http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10/dp/B006EWUO22/

>I find myself always using >8GB. Task Manager tells me I'm at 9GB with lots apps but no actual games open.

>Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 960, $210

>http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-2966-KR/dp/B00SC6HAS4/

>The 960 was recently released, but the 750 and the 900 series are very powerful and power efficient, and EVGA makes great cards.

-

>PSU: Corsair CX 600W, $60

>http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX600/dp/B0092ML0OC/

>I skimped on a PSU once (it was "Diablotek"). It took my motherboard and a stick of RAM with it when it died.

-

>SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB, $135

>http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2-5-Inch-Internal-MZ-75E250B-AM/dp/B00OAJ412U/

-

>OS: Windows 8.1 Full Version (not OEM), $100:

>http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-8-1-Full-Version/dp/B00EDSI7QO/

Current total: $1189 + tax, way over budget, so...


>The PSU can be replaced with a 500W EVGA for $17 less:

>http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Certified-ATX12V-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU

-

>The SSD can be replaced by a 2TB 7200RPM drive, where you won't need a 2nd HDD but booting will be much slower, for $60 less:

>http://www.amazon.com/HGST-Deskstar-3-5-Inch-7200RPM-Internal/dp/B003GSLDRC/
(and get the sata3 monoprice cable)

-

>The GPU can be replaced by a GTX 750 Ti, for $65 less, but at a ~30% loss to graphics power (although it's still a great card):

>http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Superclock-Dual-Link-Graphics-02G-P4-3753-KR/dp/B00IDG3IDO

-

>The CPU can be a non-K version (at very little/no performance loss), for $36 less:

>http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-BX80646I74790/dp/B00J56YSLM

>The next step down in terms of CPU is an i5-4690, at ~30% less CPU power, for $80 less. I personally wouldn't go there.

This is at $1015 + tax--still over budget, but going much cheaper really starts to bite into your experiences (and if anyone here can recommend anything to save money, I welcome it).


As for monitors, if you're playing EVE, honestly I'd recommend a 2560x1440 monitor because spreadsheets. However, since those start around $300, my go-to cheaper monitors are the not-bad 22" 1080p ones that can be had for around $140.

Source: I've done IT for the past few years, and done dozens of computer purchases/builds.

Notes: I don't buy AMD or ATI unless it's an extreme budget build. I don't buy off-brand because I've had parts break and then not have an RMA available; I've had good experience and RMA support with Corsair and EVGA. You don't really need a CD/DVD drive; you can install Windows from a USB key, but if you're unsure, CD/DVD drives are like $15. If you go with Intel/nVidia Maxwell, you won't really need a >500W PSU.

I don't like to skimp on computers much because, economically, if you're spending even 5-10% of your time waiting for your computer and you earn $10-25/hr, $1000 is paid for in somewhere between 2000-250 hours of use, yet the computer will last at least 3-5 years.

Here you go! Those are the parts I picked. I had a hard time vagueing the components for the PC. If you are a german speak we can also talk in german if you prefer that more. You have mentioned Adobe therefore I have focused to get a much stronger multithreaded CPU.

  • CPU: I went with the cheapest AMD Ryzen 5 processor which is the R5 1400. Gaming performance is slightly behind all the other Ryzen processors however this PC is also overclockable so you can get more cpu gaming performance out of this CPU which evens it out again to the more expensive Ryzen R5 CPUs. If you do not mind spending about $50 more I can highly recommend getting the AMD Ryzen R5 1600. that costs around ~222€ the R5 1400, R5 1500X (~203€) are both 4cores8threads CPU like Intels i7 (~340€) CPUs. the R5 1600 is a 6cores12threads CPU. rendering in Adobe is much much faster if you have a cpu with more cores/threads. imagine 8 people shareing the workload and working together. this is much faster than only 4 people (Intel i5 are 4cores4threads that cost the same as Ryzen R5). even better are 12threads (R5 1600). however in order to stay within your 600€ i had to pick 1400

  • RAM I went with the cheapest 2x4GB Kit that was around 3000MHz. Adobe benefits a lot from Dual Channel Memory aswell as fast memory. Ryzen gaming performance also increases with higher RAM speeds.

  • Motherboard I went with the cheapest motherboard that supports overclocking (if you ever want to do that in the future) aswell as 4 RAM slots. So that you can always upgrade to 16GB of RAM by adding the same 2 sticks again.

  • CPU cooler you will not need. there is an amd stock cooler coming inside the CPU Box

  • Storage: I went with an 240GB SSD which is enough for windows 10, GTA V, Sims and all of her most frequently used software like Adobe. if she ever runs out of storage space you can upgrade with an additional HDD in the future. While an expensive and small 240GB SSD is totally optional i can highly recommend buying one. the PC will boot within seconds compared to minutes, software especially Adobe will load MUCH faster and the PC will just feel faster. it doesnt matter if you have a $1000 CPU, if your main storagedevice as a slow HDD the PC will always take forever to load something. for the future: 1TB costs around 50€, 3TB costs around 80€

  • GPU I went with an RX460. If this were a gaming rig I would have went with a much cheaper CPU and more powerful GPU however since you mentioned Sims and Adobe the RX460 is all you need. GTA V will run at 1080p90-100fps at medium settings. around 60 at high and around 40-60 at ultra. a GTX1050 would be around 10% faster however they cost 40€ more on amazon which is not worth it.

  • PSU I went with a beQuiet pure power 80+Silver 500W. very high quality PSU which actually is very quiet. 500W is definitly total overkill for this rig however if more GPU performance is ever needed you have the option to upgrade to an RX580 or GTX1070 without the need of buying a new PSU

    LINK TO AMAZON SCREENSHOT HERE

    this got me to a total of 583€. which leaves you with around 20€ for a computercase. I dont want to pick a PC case because you have to pick one yourself you know your sibling will like. You can save money by reusing an old computercase or buying second hand. You just need to make sure it is microATX or ATX formfactor so that the motherboard and PSU fit. You could definitly pick the cheapest case there is however they are cheap for a reason (no USB 3.0, very little space for any large GPU, cheap construction which "gets the job done" however have lots of sharp edges and are annoying to build with. When you found a case you like go to https://geizhals.de/ and check for the cheapest amazon listing. the amazon search filter is fucking shit.

    Here are some personal recommendations I can give you. Check out YouTube or on the bottom left side of the link I included with the cases for inspiration:

  • ~43€ Thermaltake Versa H15 cheap, basic case which has lets of space for any upgrades (support for long graphicscards and 3x 3.5" Bays for lots of HDDs and SSD) and very builderfriendly, microATX(medium)

  • ~60€ Fractal Design Core 1500 minimalstic, comes with Fancontroller, microATX(medium)

  • ~86€ Fractal Design Define Mini C reduced noise, similar to Core1500, slightly larger, microATX (medium)

  • ~80-110€ NZXT S340 and NZXT S340 Elite(tempered glass) in its various colours, expensive however very beautiful, ATX (big)

    If you have any questions regarding anything feel free to ask me in german or english. both is fine!
u/diamondshark · 1 pointr/buildapc

i7s perform MUCH higher than any AMD cpu. That PassMark result that you saw was probably the Performance for the Price measurement that they do. For the price, the Vishera 8 core is the best deal. i7s can get very expensive. However, a haswell i5 intel cpu should run you around that $200 mark. AMD will be a cheaper build, and will run pretty smooth, but if you want pure power, intel is the way to go.

Micro ATX motherboards are fine, but they aren't mean for overclocking/expanding. Most likely there will be 1 PCI-e slot, meaning you won't be able to crossfire/sli. Depending on what mobo you get, it may not handle voltages correctly, making overclocking not safe. mATX is cheap, but sometimes you can get a good ATX for around the same price, and it's just more stable. To answer your question, mATX would be fine.

Just because it's mATX doesn't mean it's more flimsy, or cheap. There are very expensive high quality mATX boards that outperform some ATX boards. Definitely make sure that it can support up to 16 gigs of RAM though, just in case you may want to upgrade in the future/it's probably a better board.

The three CPUs you have listed are some of the top rated chips on the market. Probably in the top 10. There's nothing wrong with them. Be cautious buying them used.

Don't take my word for it, but personally I'd go for the FX-8320. The AMD parts (mobo and CPU) are going to be cheaper than the intel parts (mobo and CPU). But if you want to splurge a few hundred dollars more, go intel.

Obviously, you can't put an intel chip on an AMD board. But the AMD processors you listed are compatible with that mobo. (Great mobo choice, btw)

The most you will ever need in such a design like you have, is 750W. More than likely 600W will be enough.

Intel and AMD are fine when it comes to drivers and junk. Just the chipset drivers will be different. (You can get those online)

AMD CPUs and intel CPUs will generally have the same life as long as you treat them well. If you need more info, there's a ton of stuff in the sidebar. Just make sure to double check with this sub before going buying a bunch of parts.



u/Gaming_Crusader · 1 pointr/consolemasterrace

Yes I have, I have the comment history to prove it. All I have to do is scroll down a lot. And you lost, bad. You kept trying, I kept debunking every thing you said. It got to the point where you were repeating points I had already proved false.

>I'm not here saying console is superior. But PC isnt superior either. It's all subjective idiot.

That's ironic, calling me an idiot immediately after writing a dumb ass comment. I found a $320 ps4 slim bundled with spider man for $320, and a 40 inch TV with speakers here to go with it. A total of $479.94. That plus $60-$120 a year (if you bought the ps4 slim on release that's $180-$360 extra onto the total, so 659.94-839.94 total). For that you get a device that cannot be upgraded, has a cpu from 2008, can play games at 1080p 30fps medium low settings, no graphics options, only one input device option, the option to pay money or play offline, is very limited in uses, and only 1800 ish games available 74 ish being exclusive.

Now, let's see what kind of PC we can get for $659.94, shall we? Theres a free version of windows 10 that just puts a water mark on windows products. A little annoying, but not as annoying as all the ads in sonys paid online service.

G4560 for $82.96

Gigabyte GA-H110M-S2PV for $69.99

V-Color Skywalker Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 2666MHz for $64.99

WD Blue 1TB PC Hard Drive - 7200 RPM for $43.81

XFX Radeon RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 1386MHz OC+, 8GB GDDR5 for $184.99

Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case for $34.99

Thermaltake Smart 500W 80+ White Certified PSU for $39.99

The PC itself is $521.72 and runs circles around the ps4 slim and the ps4 pro. It is more than capable of 1080p ultra settings at 70-80fps on most AAA games. Now for the kbm and monitor.

Logitech Desktop MK120 for $29.87

Sceptre E225W-19203R 22" Ultra Thin 75Hz 1080p LED Monitor for $79.84. Its smaller but you're going to be way closer so it wont matter.

For $28.51 less, you get a PC that runs circles around the ps4 and ps4 pro, is upgradable, can be a work station, is capable of a lot more, is cheaper in the long run, has hundreds of thousands of games available on it, objectively has more high quality exclusives, has a player base 12 times the size, free online play, an entirely free game every week from epic games store (no subscription needed), and much more options.

And since you always like to say "b-b-but can it p-play d-dvds?". I first would like to mention that pcs have the option to download the movies, netflix and other streaming services exist, and if you actually do want to play movies via disk, you can spend the $28 you save on a $20 DVD drive if you want. It's an optional accessory.

Now I think I've successfully proved that you

1, have no idea what you're talking about

And 2, are wrong about it being subjective. Yes, preferring a console is perfectly fine. But objectively a PC is better in almost every way.

u/Shikyoookami · 1 pointr/buildapc
I keep trying to post this but every time I do it it viewed by the rest of the reddit as deleted. So I have no idea what to do!

Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do)

Yes.

What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better.

I plan on starting up a YouTube channel for League of Legends and a few other online games like Starcraft II and Overwatch.

If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, FPS, game settings)

I want at the very least 720p with a very stable 60 fps for league at medium settings the least, but would prefer to have setting pumped to max.

What is your budget (ballpark is okay)?

My budget is $500-$525 (taxes and OS included)

In what country are you purchasing your parts?

United States

Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!).

Provide any additional details you wish below.

I really only want this build to be able to run League of Legends and also be able to record with no drop in FPS or in setting. My goal is to have it on high settings as well. I am a big newbie at computer building so this is a pre-build that I want to use because it is cheap. If you have any suggestions that I should change a part out or if I forgot something let me know, I'm only running 8gbs of ram but I might want to run 16 if it will help the recording while playing. Also another question, can I mix ram? Two different ram sticks of different brands? My guess is no but if someone could tell me that would be great. I already have a SSD that I'm going to have installed also but didn't put in the build.

Side note I do no know how to choose the OS. I want to go with Windows 7 but everywhere I look it's about $100, any solution to this would be great thanks.
u/zoicyte · 2 pointsr/buildapc

ABSOLUTELY.

The fact that it can even be done with stock parts (although granted it won't be aesthetically pleasing given the case restrictions), drives the point home, but that also limits profitability by the manufacturers, and like i said also makes them ugly, so it makes sense that companies like Valve are designing integrated-system boxes that can run smaller and trim the fat, thus making room for profit.

The other major sticking point is Windows, which is precisely why we have steamOS. I hope it catches on. Windows is a great general purpose OS, don't get me wrong, but it eats resources that could be used in gaming, and also would devourer $100 of your build unless you uh, have connections.

That being said, allow me to demonstrate:

PC Case & PSU: $50

CPU: i3-4150: $120

MOBO: MSI H81M-E33: $50

4GB Ram: Crucial: $36

WD Blue 1TB HDD: $60

MSI GT 640: $84

Grand total: $400

I'd bet that total it would smoke a ps4 or an xbone, too.

Edit: I can't math, I'm $16 over with the GT650. So here's a GT640 that makes it work. Still beats a console.

Edit 2: regarding lifespan, that's a silly restriction. First, I've gone through FOUR xboxes in 8 years. The last one has only lasted becuase i mainly switched to a PS3 in the last few (edit 3: Three PS3s, but IIRC only one was due to death, the first got sold). Having said that, I have every confidence the build above will last 8 years, provided it doesn't die in the first 3 months. PCs are like that. Either they croak right away because you did something wrong like not provide enough airflow or have a bad part, or they last forever, like the dell desktop I have sitting in my office with a Core 2 Duo from 2007, or the studio-pc my old band used to record our album that I'm SURE the singer never updated, and is running a Pentium 4 and Windows XP (he's of the if it ain't broke variety).

Besides, what someone else down the line said, if you're going to compare apples to apples, add xbox live/psn sub fees for 8 years in, that automatically adds another ~$400 to the cost of the machine. That's a HELL of a lot of headroom for upgrades. And this isn't even taking into account the general cheapness of games on PC vs. consoles. Games usually start $10 cheaper on PC and will tend to drop immediately after launch - if you can wait a day or a week, you can usually get most games for $35 or less, so figure an average of $25/game savings, lets say 4 games a year (hah), and we're talking ANOTHER $800 saved over the lifespan you are suggesting.

TLDR: PC is cheaper, but requires more commitment (duh). There is something to be said about the console's ease-of-use where even my 3-year-old son can figure out how to turn on the PS3 and watch a cartoon on Amazon or play Pacman, or turn on the Wii U and play NSMB or Pikmin 3.

I don't think that build is good enough for what you want. You said games like Fallout 4, take that as example. A i5-6600K with a GTX 980 Ti reached 72 FPS on this benchmark: http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/2182-fallout-4-cpu-benchmark-huge-performance-difference In another benchmark from the same site (http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/2177-fallout-4-pc-video-card-fps-benchmark-all-resolutions), a R9 285 reached 54 FPS. The R9 380X is a bit more powerful, but only a bit, expect a maximum of 65 FPS in that benchmark (since a R9 290X had 74). That means: To reach FPS clearly over 60FPS, you need a better gpu, and a better cpu would help as well (Fallout 4 profits a lot from an i7).

This would be my build for you:

u/BenderRodriguez14 · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

I took a check, and would say not to buy in Sweden - in Ireland it is the same due to high costs and not having a very big market, you will not get good value for money. However I checked in Germany and it seemed... ok-ish. But I made a dummy address in Stockholm on my Amazon UK account and came up with this for €580

(NOTE: pay in GBP, not EUR or SWK as Amazon inflate the exchange rate by a good 5c or so if you do). Delivery is only €10, so you're doing pretty great there (and the weak pound has been awesome for buying stuff on Amazon lately)!

u/twinCatalysts · 2 pointsr/supremecommander

You don't need a whole lot.

4 gb of ram would actually be enough but I'd generally recommend getting 8 as it's not expensive.

A GTX 670 is good enough as well, I ran the game just fine on a 555. So long as it keeps working, may as well run it down until you're set for a full on upgrade to a 1050ti or something.

Your main issue is your processor.

Supreme Commander is more processor heavy than most games (of it's time). You'd probably want something with a clockspeed of at least 3.0Ghz.

I'd recommend the Intel i5-7600k as it's a fairly cheap CPU you won't need to upgrade for a decent while, even if you want to run some better stuff on it.

Just make sure whichever motherboard you get is compatible with the CPU, there's one on the store page linked that you could use with it.

I also don't know what cooling solutions you have, but make sure they're sufficient as you wouldn't want to damage your system.

u/NazKer · 1 pointr/PcMasterRaceBuilds

How much were you planning to spend on that processor? Assuming it’s around the price PCPARTPICKER is showing, I’d maybe consider switching to AMD for that price.

If you’re okay with switching to AMD, you can get the new Ryzen 7 3700X for $329 MSRP and it is a very nice bang for your buck. 8 cores 16 threads for that price is amazing (your current CPU is 6 cores & 12 threads). You can also get an included CPU cooler (something intel does not typically include) which can save you even more $$.

More bang for your buck, better performance, an extra bonus cooler. Very nice deal.

If you do decide to go with that, you’ll need to swap your motherboard to a X470 or X570 board to support the AMD chip. I think you’ll get a much better bang for your buck this way.

Even a step down to the Ryzen 5 3600X for $234.99 is very nice value for your money. (6 cores 12 threads). Just depends on what you were willing to spend on that i7 8700. It out does that processor from what I’ve seen and is cheaper. Very nice deal as well.

u/ArakiOwO · 1 pointr/buildapc

Holy crap, thanks so much dude! I honestly mean it, It's nice to know that I can get help on this reddit when it comes to PC building, I wasn't sure because after attempting to build find the specs for building my own PC I was worried they wouldn't work etc, so I went to look at other peoples specs but they didn't include their full builds and stuff. So I'm happy that there are people who can help on here. Also, the money spent still fits nicely into my price range so that's also good :)

just to confirm, I'm going to buy most of this off amazon for the most part, with the CPU is this okay: CPU as long as I buy thermal paste separately?

Again thank you so much for the recommendations and information!

u/caddy123456 · 3 pointsr/MoneroMining

I think u need at least 8gb of ram for this.. to optimise the speed of h/s you can do.. then a decent cpu too and probably Windows 10 would be perfect! Can get windows 10 keys for little as 4 pounds on eBay! Legal too! Plenty of 2nd hand motherboards u can find on eBay too maybe can get on for 30 pounds and also would recommend 120gb ssd but u can boot windows through an usb these days so that’s up to you but important you get 8gb of ram though! CPU u can get this one amazon as little as £35 for a second hand one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Pentium-Dual-Core-G4400-Processor/dp/B015VPX05A Also can get a cheap tower can be cheap to buy on amazon and ebay! Hope this helps and get you the cheapest way to mine these beautiful cards! And u won’t need a very powerful psu too! Cards automatically runs at 250ish..

u/Queyh · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'd definitely advise going with a Pentium G3220 (~$57) or an i3 4150 (~$100), both dual core processors, the latter with hyperthreading that imitates a quad core and modestly stronger physical cores. Both have far stronger single-core performance than the 6 core FX-6300, and since the vast majority of games only utilize two cores (including TF2 and Minecraft), they'll give you significantly better performance while also being quieter and cooler. This especially matters in both TF2 and Minecraft, which are both far more CPU intensive than they are GPU intensive. Only the newest games utilize four cores, and due to how weak the individual cores of the FX-6300 are, both dual cores will still be faster, especially the hyperthreaded i3.

There are a few other things I'd also advise you do, such as increasing your amount of RAM (which will especially help in Minecraft).

If you have any other questions or would like any additional, more comprehensive help with your build, feel free to send me a PM or add me on Steam (probably the easier choice). I too play quite a bit of TF2 and also do a little Minecraft on the side.

Happy building!

Not sure where you are getting your information from, but that is the whole point of the X series SKUs. They are binned higher and feature XFR for auto-overclocking. The non-X SKUs are still unlocked multipliers but do NOT have the Extended Frequency Range auto-overclocking feature that the X SKUs DO.

Here's a few sources, including a couple that were in attendance at today's event.

https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/luke-hill/kitguru-amd-event-ryzen-7-cpus-set-to-hit-intel-pricing-hard/

"That ‘X’ prefix denotes support for eXtended Frequency Range (XFR) which allows a number of the CPU’s cores to operate at up to 1 multiplier bin higher if thermal and power threshold budgets are not saturated"

"Ryzen 7 1700 – 8 cores, 16 threads, 3.0GHz base speed, 3.7GHz boost speed, no XFR support, 65W TDP, $329 USD, £319.99 OCUK price."


Techreport, who was also in attendance at the event today and went home with review samples lists these specs as part of what was announced at the event.

https://techreport.com/news/31471/amd-eight-core-16-thread-chips-lead-the-ryzen-charge

Model | Cores | Threads | Base Clock | Boost Clock | XFR | TDP | Price
------|---|----|----|----|----|----|----
Ryzen 1800X | 8 | 16 | 3.6GHz | 4.0GHz | Yes | 95W | $499
Ryzen 1700X | 8 | 16 | 3.4GHz | 3.8GHz | Yes | 95W | $399
Ryzen 1700 | 8 | 16 | 3.0GHz | 3.7GHz | No | 65W | $329

"The X in the product name (in this and other models) denotes the presence of the XFR technology (eXtended Frequency Range), allowing you to reach even higher frequencies in the presence of adequate cooling. XFR is just one of the technologies SenseMI" -> translated from: https://www.tomshw.it/ryzen-7-1800x-1700x-e-1700-specifiche-e-prestazioni-83576 in regards to information released by AMD at today's event.

All of this is from those who attended and official AMD specs released today. There is no question about it, that is literally what the "X" in the SKU denotes. XFR. This is all just a matter of hours old information, not "last week". You mention you take what people who attended have to say as priority, which of course makes sense. Only problem is that it is the exact opposite of what you're saying.

Also, the pre-order listings on sites like Amazon make this clear. For instance,

1800X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9JXK4G, clearly lists XFR on the product page

1700X: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06X3W9NGG, clearly lists XFR on the product page

1700: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP5YCX6, does not list XFR on the product page

On OCUK's product pages as well, XFR is listed as a spec on only the 1800X and 1700X product pages:

1800X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1800x-4.00ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39v-am.html

I have no idea what does what really, but I am in the midst of building a PC as well!

The Processor you have chosen can be overclocked that is shown by the K after 4690, which is great. You just need to make sure you get a motherboard that is compatible, and you are also going to need a CPU cooler, because it can get hot!

If you are interested check out my most recent post, I am working on a build right now might be buying the parts tonight!

Edit
If you decide you do not want to overclock you should look in to this Intel Core i5-4670 It's a special deal going on right now and then you don't have to purchase the Cooler, or the special motherboard.

You could actually get a SSD to help your computer run faster!

For that price I'd change several things. In my opinion the Intel CPU's are better assuming you are gaming. You can pick up the i5-4670 for around the same price on amazon, http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-4670-Quad-Core-Processor-BX80646I54670/dp/B00CO8TBR4

The motherboard is fine and Gigabyte are a great brand.
Solid RAM can't really complain. Might be able to get a different brand for a better price with the same clock speed, etc.

The GPU, unless you are planning on dual screening you don't really need a 4Gb GPU. I believe this is a better deal, http://www.amazon.com/MSI-R9-280-GAMING-3G/dp/B00JJNQ99U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405169482&sr=8-3&keywords=R9+280

If you can fit in your build get an SSD. The boot time is amazing and for games with long load times, overall just great get one if you can. I recommend a 120Gb model but up to you.

You said you know you need a CPU fan, but in actual fact the CPU I've recommended is locked therefore you can't overclock it which means the stock cooler would be fine. If you do want to overclock I'd suggest the i5-4690K.

Those are just my suggestions but it's all up to you, enjoy building it! :D.

Was on my phone and didn't want to get too in depth.

So those AMD processors that are A4, A6, A8, and A10 are APU's which mean there is a built in GPU along with the CPU. It isn't as strong as a full blown video card by itself but it is certainly better than what is usually standard on a processor. Also those APU's have decent processor power. They're not the best by any stretch of the imagination, but they aren't the slowest. They generally are a good fit for people on a tight budget since they cut out the need to buy a video card.

Now with that being said, why would you sacrifice CPU power? Why not go with a fully dedicated processor and a fully dedicated video card rather than going with a processor that is built to handle video too and then throw in a video card that will be used INSTEAD of the video card power in the processor?

This is hard to explain in words I suppose. When you have that 7750 with that APU, you are using it instead of the APU power which means that APU power isn't being used to its full potential.

Besides the processor you have linked is not compatible with the motherboard you have linked in your original post.

Do something like this processor with your motherboard you have originally posted and pair it with that graphics card you originally posted.

Solid GPU, so you'll be able to run Fortnite fine and shaders in Minecraft fine.

​

With Minecraft, GPU doesn't really matter (unless you use shaders as I mentioned above). Minecraft is pretty much all CPU and RAM.

​

For your CPU, you have a good multicore score, but multicore doesn't mean anything if the game isn't coded for multicore, which Minecraft isn't. Without making you spend a ton more and making you change your motherboard, you could get a 2600X for a few more dollars, or you could get a Ryzen 7 2700X for a lot more. The i5-9600K is also an option, and has a better single core score than the 2700X, but you'll have to find a new motherboard that has an LGA1151 socket. But it has a better single and multicore score than the 2600X.

​

AMD vs Intel is pretty controversial in the community, as Intel is kinda playing catchup with their cores right now and their price-point can be a little higher. But if all you're doing is Minecraft you'll want to focus on singlecore more than multicore (don't totally disregard multicore though). Don't feel like you have to break the bank though.

​

For your RAM, maybe go with DDR4-3600, you don't have to go with RGBs like in the one I linked, but it's not much more and it'll be a lot better for your dollar.

I'd hit up /r/buildapc next time, but I'll help you out. This isn't a budget build, so I went with higher quality items than what is particularly necessary. You could save money on a cheaper PSU, mobo, memory, & regular quad core, but why not future proof with an i7 when you're talking about VR. From what I've read, VR is going to be pretty CPU intensive, and games are already commonly scaling past 4 threads. I figured you weren't into overclocking, so I went with a locked CPU. I also left out the case and peripherals, because they're up to preference. I'd suggest getting at least a 1440p monitor though. GPUs at half the price can max out games at 1080p. Lastly, going with a more expensive Skylake CPU over a Haswell chip isn't worth it since there is no performance advantage in gaming. Skylake is actually slower. Most likely due to changes in the PCIe bus. NVM, though, the 6700 over the 4790 still isn't worth the extra cost for such a small increase in performance imo.

The only thing is that new GPUs are coming out this summer, and they're going to bring big improvements. It's the first die shrink since 2012, and they'll be utilizing a new memory standard with massive boosts in performance. Buying a $600 980 Ti right now isn't the wisest investment. Nvidia Maxwell cards also suck at async compute (basically hyperthreading for GPUs), a pretty big part of DX12.

For some reason PCP wasn't picking up the mobo and CPU from Amazon. Here are the links.

"By name and by marketing (and original MSRP), the i5 CPU is most comparable to the R5 CPUs. The R5 2600’s current $160 price-point makes it a less direct comparison, and the 2600X, which would perform about where an overclocked 2600 performs, is about $220. This is also cheaper, but still closer to compare. Even closer is the R7 2700, which is $270 normally (or ~$250 during current sales). This is the closest comparison.

We would favor an i7-8700K if you must go Intel – like for systems with the highest refresh rate possible – while staying below the price of the i9-9900K. We would favor an R7 2700 in heavily-threaded applications or games which are more dependent upon threads than the mean (e.g. Far Cry 5). The 9600K is still often superior in raw framerate, but does suffer frametime consistency hits in games like Far Cry 5. In those instances, it would be a worse experience insofar as its consistency of frame delivery. In the other games we tested, the 9600K holds a lead in gaming performance. It also suffers in Blender, the side-effect of fewer cores, making the R7 a better choice for anyone legitimately using the heavy multithreading in tile-based rendering applications. If you’re just gaming, the 9600K is often better – but not always, and that inconsistency is the key to our inability to offer a firm recommendation. We’d favor an i7-8700K (if budget can stretch) for pure gaming workloads, but the i5-9600K and R7 2700 choice requires more nuance. For anyone working with Blender in addition to gaming, the R7 2700 is a better choice. For pure gaming, the 9600K is “better” in most the games we tested, but that frametime inconsistency in some games causes us to hesitate.

The i5 remains hard to justify, even with its two-core increase. Intel remains the best option for gaming-only builds in the i7 class, but struggles to prove consistent value in the i5 class. That’s a problem – if the value is inconsistent, it is sometimes better to opt for a more consistent (if sometimes weaker) alternative, if only because the experience is then predictable."

I don't know if this is necessarily a "Simple Question," but I'm always nervous to make posts, so hopefully this doesn't cross the rules, if so I'm sorry. Also if I need to add more info, please let me know, I'm new to this.

I think I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU.

My current setup:

GPU: XFX PCI-Express Video Card R7-360P-2SF5

CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K Black Edition CPU Quad Core FM2+ 3700Mhz 95W 4MB AD860KXBJABOX

I don't know if the rest of the stuff matters but here it is:

Case+PSU: ROSEWILL Micro ATX Mini Tower Computer Case with PSU, Steel Computer Case + 400w Power Supply, Front I/O: 2x USB 2.0 and Audio In/Out And 90mm Rear Case Fan (R363-M)

HDD: WD Blue 1TB Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD10EZEX

Motherboard: Gigabyte AMD FM2+ A68H SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 mATX ATX DDR3 2133 NA Motherboards GA-F2A68HM-H
Ram: Ballistix Sport 8GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) UDIMM 240-Pin Memory - BLS8G3D1609DS1S00


And I do want to say, that currently, it works great already. I just can hardly run the new Injustice 2 Beta, and a few other games, and now that I have the money, I'm looking to upgrade. I've been looking for hours, and I just want to make certain that these parts will work still, and that they are significantly worth it.

These are the parts I'm looking into:

GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 GAMING, 2GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC) Graphics Card 02G-P4-6150-KR

CPU:

Either:

AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1200BBAEBOX)

or

AMD Ryzen 5 1400 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler (YD1400BBAEBOX)

So please, help me out, let me know if you need more info. Either CPU is in my price range, but I don't know if the 5 is worth the extra money compared to the 3. I believe everything will work with my computer. I think I want the 5, just sorta want confirmation, y'know.

​

Its also 75hz, but it is $85 less. I would also recommend going with a dedicated GPU and no APU at all, because they cost slightly more. Just get a good CPU. I would recommend the ryzen 1500x, they have literally the same performance but this is $13 less and it is overclockable. I overclock to 4.0 GHz from 3.7.

The motherboard is also somewhat expensive, I would recommend this one. It is $45 less and does the exact same stuff. I am not sure why the other guy suggested the more pricy one, but if you like the style then go for it.

SSD makes a huge difference, but to stay on budget, if you can reuse the old hard drive, consider the following:

Look into the new $99, 3.5 GHz Pentium, it has hyperthreading and IMHO just as good as an I3 for quite a bit less. Since it has integrated video, you can build around this CPU with a B250 mobo, add a[ stick of RAM] (https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148856) and I'm sure you'll get close to on budget if you're re-using the case and power supply. Later it is very upgradeable to any skylake or Kaby Lake processor, another stick of ram, and can take a nice video card if desired too.
These three parts added up to 270, before tax, hopefully you could find them bundled with free shipping at least. You might be able to find a cheaper B150 motherboard, but that wouldn't run Optane in the future, and would need a BIOS update somehow with a Skylake processor installed before you could use the Kaby pentium.

I specifically mentioned about the low/midrange market that Intel has a problem in. Is it worth paying nearly double for the i5 over the 2600 when that money could go into the GPU, SSD, RAM, or better CPU cooler?

EDIT: For the 3600: https://www.techspot.com/review/1871-amd-ryzen-3600/

> Direct competition for the R5 3600 should come from Intel's Core i5-9600 which is listed at $213, but we don’t have that part on hand and it doesn’t appear to be on sale either, so the more expensive 9600K will have to do. It costs $255 and doesn’t include a box cooler, so it's not the exact match we were going for, but it will be interesting to see how they stack in terms of raw power.

> The Ryzen 5 3600 comes out significantly more affordable at just $1.53 per frame as it delivers a similar level of performance, but costs almost $100 less. This makes the R5 3600 better value than the 2600X at its current $195 asking price, though it is 18% more costly than the vanilla R5 2600. Even so given the efficiency improvement and the absolutely monstrous uplift in productivity performance, we feel it’s going to be easy to justify the small price premium.

> The Intel Core i5 was a little faster in a few of the games tested, but the R5 3600 was miles faster where you’ll notice it. So this one's pretty cut and dry unless Intel decides to cut pricing heavily.

11 days after the review, the price of the i5 9600 only dropped by $7:

Don't spend more than ~120 bucks on a CPU.


GPU: Radeon 6570, 6670 or 7750

The 6570 should be considered the bare minimum for a dedicated GPU. The 6670 is a great deal of bang for your buck. 7750 is as well. All of these should be able to handle modern games from at least the lowest rung of settings. My old computer with a 6670 runs WoW on high settings, and COD4 : 3 at all high settings, and can run Company of Heroes 2 from at least low settings smoothly.


All three cards should be bought for 100$ or less.



RAM: 4 gigs is adequate. If you want to splurge 8 gigs is more than affordable.

Don't spend more than 60 bucks on RAM.


HDD: 500 gigs can be bought for ~50 bucks. 1 TB can be bought at about 70. Either is probably excessive.

I'm going with an MSI Z390 Gaming Edge AC for my build I'm working on. I think they have one without the AC that's cheaper if you don't need wireless internet. I've heard that MSI has the best BIOS of any mobo manufacturer, so that's my logic. It also supports Wi-Fi 6, bluetooth, and any other bells and whistles you could want for gaming. And it's pretty reasonably priced as well!

  • Main difference I see is that the XF240 ($200 monitor) supports Freesync (which doesn't apply to you since that is an AMD exclusive feature). Even though that monitor has Freesync supported, you can still run your monitor will still run at 144hz without a problem. So essentially your paying less for the same thing. I guess the Asus is more expensive because of the branding. But the Acer monitor was popular over the holidays since it was on sale for $170. Unless you really like Asus then go with that but you could save money on this monitor.


  • Also take into consideration the new intel 7th generation CPU's (Kaby Lake).

Couldn't help doing some more checking -- you can get the i5-2500K from Amazon for [$204.99] (http://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80623I52500K-Core-i5-2500K-Processor/dp/B004EBUXHQ). Maybe the price dropped recently? The only other weak spots I see are the lack of an SSD for a boot drive and the slowish RAM. It looks like you can get [G.Skill Ripjaw 1600] (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=Ssj0XH52EeGctKLST36xpQ2e5b9&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16820231428) for $40 after using Newegg's "aprmem15" discount, but I'm not sure you'll see any major performance boost; still worth it if you have any desire to overclock. An SSD is definitely worth considering, but if it's outside your budget, I think you've put together a great machine.

I like the second list you have, the $518.89 one. I have a good monitor already, so that saves me a bit. I have a few quick questions because it's been so long since I've build a computer that I'm no longer really able to tell how this will work.

  1. I saw that the motherboard can support windows 10 x64 - so this computer will be able to run games that need to be running on 64-bit, right?

  2. is it powerful enough to play all 'current' games? For example, I looked at the steam page for The Witcher 3, and it says the system requirement is an Intel CPU Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz (see here ) - is this CPU comparable?

  3. basically, the majority of my usage is gaming, but I don't require maximum graphics, just excellent performance (and at least medium performance, at the lowest).

    This looks like a good buy to me but I'd be very grateful if you can give me a quick idea of how it will actually perform - this is "all greek to me," as the saying goes :(

u/KumieZ · 1 pointr/buildapc

Also understandable though I do have a pretty good understanding of certain concepts, maybe some simplifications but the results is my main concern, do you have any idea which would perform higher? Also what's the difference between the AMD chip you listed and this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X3W9NGG/ref=psdcmw_229189_t1_B06WP5YCX6
(It's the same exact series but slightly more for some reason)
Major question, do I have to be concerned for the 1080ti to have a mining issue and get sold out quick. Do you recommend that I buy it as soon as it releases or do you think I'll be safe until September comes around because the 1st-2nd week of September is when I intend to make these orders.
Probably my last major question, if I went over the budget (Definitely under 2000$) would there be any parts that are significantly better than the ones you listed for me? Like the AMD chip, I noticed there is apparently a 1800 chip or something like that but appears to be sold out everywhere.. :/

It's not a very good time to be buying GPU's, the prices are still going down and there are new nvidia's on the horizon, but since you asked...

  • Ausu b250 mining expert. $140 No brainer, best mining board out right now.
  • i3 Processor. $120 I'm a big fan of the g4400 for linux builds, but being able to run windows is required for some coins/cards right now.
  • 8 gig ram. $80. Split between 2 linux builds use both sticks for windows.
  • Your favorite PSU. I like the Corsair HXi series. $180. You can use 3 PSU's with the mobo, so expanding is possible, but not optimal obviously.
  • Risers $100
  • 13 used GTX750 1Gig. $555.62. Make sure you don't buy the fakeedoos.

    That leaves you about $125 for presents for Mrs. Vosk and Tails. You will be running about 3.3-3.5kh/s on cryptonight/V7 @ about 500+watts or about 1ksol/s (I think?) on equihash. About $6 worth of monero/day at this instant.

    When the new Nvidia cards come out, ebay the 750's or throw them away as you replace them with 1180's.

Lots of people have the right idea: Everything needs to be replaced. What you have is a mid-ranged computer--10 years ago. It is outperformed by even a cheap pre-built from Best Buy these days.

But completely building a computer from scratch is pricey, so you can do it partially piecemeal.

Unfortunately, you need to do all three in one go. If you replace any one part, you'll find incompatibility. New processor? Won't work with your motherboard. New motherboard? Won't work with your RAM. New RAM? Back to not working with your motherboard.

The current mid-range is the Intel i5-9600k. Surprisingly, because older ones are discontinued, it's actually cheaper to buy a 9th gen vs an 8th gen in most places.

You're going to need a fancy new motherboard to support the 9th gen chipset. I recommend something like the Prime Z390-P. The -P runs a little hotter due to more basic heatsink, and is missing some extra ports. Neither will present an issue. The cheaper Z370 will run 9th gen chips, but it requires jumping through a lot of hoops, and for the minuscule difference in price, just go with the one that works out of the box.

From that, you need a CPU fan, as the i5-9600k does not come with one. I won't bother recommending one, as there are dozens if not hundreds and they all do about the same thing for the same price. Note the price difference when adding a bunch of flashy LEDs.

The same goes for RAM. You want 16GB DDR4, as high speed as you can afford, but the exact options don't matter too much. It's all basically rebranding from the same few chip manufacturers anyway.

All told, this will run you about $600. Feel free to stop and give your wallet a break.

Power Supply

Your next step isn't actually your Video Card. It's your power supply.

Your current Power Supply will almost certainly be enough to run this new stuff; power requirements have actually gone down. I recommend this next because your current one is at least 9 years old, and that's pushing the limit it's lifespan. Chances are, if you never upgrade it, you'll be fine. But if something does go wrong, poof, all your fancy new parts.

Video Card

Last. Your card is
oooooollllllldddddd, but for GW2, upgrading it will provide the least difference. There will be a difference*, but not nearly as dramatic as replacing the 3 parts above. I "sprung" for a 1080, but the cheaper 1060 is fine.

PSU - $42 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_POl4CbC1QDRBZ

CPU - $67 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0741DN383/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_KPl4CbWWJH0CT

Mobo - $70 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FJ8V8FV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ARl4Cb1E4KQJP

These are definitely not the best options, but at the price limit you have I think it's probably the best you can do. I'd run it by someone else though just to make sure. Never trust just one stranger's suggestion on the internet!

Edit: I just realized you don't have a GPU. Is that why you were going for the 2200g? If so, then it's gonna be another $20 or so. But the budget you have is pretty limited for the best bang for the buck.

u/pcmoxie · 1 pointr/buildapc

Okay, so I looked everything over, and it seems like a very solid build. I have just a couple recommendations to improve your system a bit. I priced everything out for your build including taxes and combo deals and it appears you’ll be spending $922.75 and $867.55 after your mail in rebates. First you might as well upgrade to a full ATX board if your going to go with a full tower. I would go with the MSI Z68A-GD55 from newegg, its $154 and has a $20 MIR. Its pretty much the same board as the one you chose, just ATX instead of mATX. Second, purchase your processor from amazon.com to save some money on taxes. I would recommend the i5 2500K, you may not be interested in overclocking now, but you may want to do it at some point (just make sure you buy a better cooler). Last purchase the EVGA GTX 560 for $184.99 with a $10 MIR from amazon as well. So by just purchasing your parts from a different vendor you can essentially upgrade to a full ATX board and GTX 560 for just $2.63 more. Heres the breakdown.
From Newegg.com:
Motherboard: MSI Z68A-GD55 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel Z68 - $154.99 - $20MIR
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Low Voltage 8GB - $59.99
Power Supply: OCZ ModXStream 600W - $74.99 - $25MIR
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $59.99

Tax: $30.62
Total from Newegg: $380.58

From Amazon.com:
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500k - $219.99
Graphics Card: EVGA Geforce GTX 560 - $184.99 - $10MIR
Case: NZXT Phantom White - $139.82

Total from Amazon: $544.80

Combined Total: $925.38
Minus Mail in Rebates: -$20(Mobo) - $25(PSU) - $10(GPU) = $870.38

Just a tad over budget but you can easily bring it down to $1400 if you feel like it by going with an i5 for $200. And I have the optical drive needed to install windows, etc. With this GPU you should be more than good for now and the near future. glhf!
u/Daktush · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Rx 1500X is within same budget range, is a better CPU, comes with a better cooler (you can ditch your one if you go for this one) and the socket will be supported for longer (meaning you have easier upgrades in a future)

RX 580 is plain better in every regard than 1060 (if you can find them stocked anywhere)

Look into buying a windows key through a software swap subreddit, will save you some bucks

Use said saved bucks to get an SSD

Consider USB DVD writer instead of case built

Do you mean this one? As for £65 I could pick that up quite happily if it helps. To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to stick with. The motherboard and CPU are the things I know need an upgrade and that's the plan. In the perfect world I would then upgrade the CPU after Zen comes out. And yeah, I have a Noctua cooler ready to go so.

Is there a reason why you asked about the FM2+? Is there something to look out for?

u/AneleSenpai · 1 pointr/PcMasterRaceBuilds

I don't know what do you mean by brick and mortar, but yeah I have links and most of them are from PC Componentes. Mobo Video Card Processor Memory Storage Case Power Supply
I play mostly CSGO and other game that aren't recent, the only new game I'd play with this PC would be PUBG, but that's it. Despite that by buying the G4560 and the mobo compatible with it, I save around 140€, but with the mining with GPU's it may be even more expensive than 310€. Is this mining thing expected to be over soon or it'll take a while?
EDIT: about the PSU, you mean that I get one with more wattage or one with better quality?

u/etherealfocus · 3 pointsr/ryzen

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D

3600X for $200. Get it and be happy. Should play nice with existing mobo, though it would certainly appreciate some faster RAM (3200 min, 3600 preferred). Even with your current RAM it'll smoke that 1400 like a cheap cigar. 1400's barely faster than an i7-4770 from 6+ years ago.

Your GPU is a big limiting factor though, if money's limited upgrade that first. I'd swap it for a 1660 Super personally; sell it for $80 or so and you're in the same general price range as your CPU upgrade.

u/beenman500 · 2 pointsr/gamingpc

if your power supply can actually do 600w, then you will be fine on that front.

you will definetly want a GPU upgrade, that is indeed your systems weak point at the moment.

the 560 TI will perform magnificently compared to your current setup (think maybe 2-4 times better maybe)


CPU wise the 965 is a decent upgrade with 3.4 ghz vs your 2.6 (should be ~30% better)


you may not need the CPU upgrade at all though so I suggest getting the GPU first and trying it out. and if you want better performance then try the CPU upgrade

I personally don't think you will ever justifiably spend more than £160 on a GPU right now unless you replace your motherboard and processor completely (which will cost an aweful lot more!)

edit: If you want to spend less then this 6850 will give massive gains also, and is just over half the price of the 560 ti

u/whosdr · 1 pointr/buildapc

The AMD Phenom 2 x4 965 processor looks like it should be compatible (AM3 socket, supported by the 785G chipset). It's readily available on Amazon for around $50-60. Benchmarks look promising, and though it won't provide stellar performance, it should run smoothly for the most part.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-3-4Ghz-512KB-4000MHZ/dp/B002SRQ214

You will also need to find an AM3-compatible cooler to fit the case, if your existing cooler isn't adequate (It probably won't be).

The more expensive full box will have the original cooler.

I was recently given a new MOBO and CPU, but I need to buy a GPU...the CPU is here and the MOBO is here

I'm still learning, but I don't want to waste money on a GPU that will be bottlenecked. My main goal is to be able to play Steam games (Fallout 3, Fallout NV, Don't Starve, Bioshock 1, 2, Ultimate, Starcraft II, Maybe Skyrim and Civ V)
What GPU should I look at purchasing that will be a good value for the performance, but still movable to a future PC?

I'm not overclocking, not using Crossfire, unless it would bring a significant increase in fps

u/Jollyis15 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Here is a good motherboard for a phenom (I have it) and supports sli and crosefire and is pretty good for a Decently priced gaming motherboard although it might be to pricey for your budget though. Here is the CPU so if you are willing to spend up to 600 dollars you can get that and about 4 gigabytes of ddr3 ram and a Corsair 650HX PSU and have a pretty damn good rig.

Bruh cheapest 1080 in the US is $470 that too on Amazon without sale, going by the ₹65 for a dollar gives about 42% markup, the model you mentioned is about $510 which is about 32% markup. Also 43k is the absolute lowest the price goes here whereas they have sales dropping the prices very low.

Also Ryzen currently is at 25%-35%markup depending on the model(lowest was 1700x at 24%).
The Titan Xp is at about 67% markup (didn't check the year so correct me if I'm wrong)
And also the cheapest 1080 is the mini one, which has clock speed a few mghz higher than fe so if I want something better like more cooling or higher clock speeds and not just the bare minimum I have to shill out 60k to 70k for the Asus ones or even the fe whereas the same card is sold around $550 at newegg which comes with forhonor or ghost recall wildlands free (both worth $60) so while that guy was wrong about the 100% markup you were also being disingenuous with that 43k figure and 18% markup .

CPU- So the Pentium G4560 is a dual core however it has 4 threads so it acts like a 4 core. It should last you quite a while as it's good for even gaming. Here's the CPU on Amazon since it doesn't show up on PcPartPicker for some reason: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677G4560-Pentium-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01NCE8T92/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1496550581&sr=1-1&keywords=g4560

Motherboard- Sort of a barebones one, should have all the I/O you'd need including USB 3.1 and Type C. Here's more about the mobo: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B250M-PRO-VDH.html#productFeature-section.

Memory- 8 gigs should be more than enough, I doubt you will ever need more but there is always an option to upgrade to 16 gigs.

Storage- 240 gigs of SSD storage should be enough for any Office apps plus more and than a 1 TB HDD should cover any mass storage.

Case- Cheapest case on PcPartPicker, it's nothing fancy but it'll get the job done. Comes with one 120 mm fan and a 80 mm fan so that's nice.

PSU- 430w is more than enough for this build and should cover some upgrades.

Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse- All seem like decent ones from reviews. Just your standard 1080p monitor and then the keyboard and mouse should do it's job just fine.

Edit: Whoops forgot the monitor keyboard and mouse. Just redid the entire post, sorry about that if you read through it already.

Why are you creating so many threads on one topic. Just reply in one thread. It's getting hard to help you out and reply to you.

Here's my post for the previous thread and now reply to this and don't create another one.. thanks -

Don't buy the i7 4770.. buy the i7 4790. It will work with your mobo. I currently have the 4790k with the H115i GTX cooler. The 4790 is a locked version and better than 4770. Suggest you get a cooler too. 2000rs cooler master or something like that. The 4790 is 1k cheaper than 4770 on Amazon. Although these old processors should be around 15k officially if it were available.

Where are you from? If closer to Mumbai then PrimeABGB they handle all RMA nonsense/hassle free.

Btw what monitor you getting since your buying the 1080. And which make etc for monitor and GPU?

Nice, it seems like that R9 270X is quite commonly recommended around here. I think it would be nice to have 8GB RAM so I'll probably keep that. Is the i3-4130 a lot better than the G3258?

Edit: Also, would it be better to go with the i3-4150 or 4160 instead since they're only $5-10 more?

I play new games and want all the FPS and expect to use the pc probably for atleast 5 years.

Updated with Intel processor and motherboard, instead of 2700x. Likely going to go with these. Thoughts appreciated.

I had a Pentium D back when it came out, while it is 2 Cores, it was no Core 2 Duo (that thing was revolutionary lol)

Luckily for you, SWTOR is trying to capture a large part of the PC gaming market, and in order to do so, they must have very low system requirements... If you noticed, the graphics looks similar to if not a better than WoW. System requirements as well as a release date are not yet out though. So we'll have to wait and see.

If the requirements are too high... Try and recycle your Hard Drive, PSU, Case, CD/DVD Drive, Mouse, Monitor, and Keyboard... (I'm on the fence about your GPU, but I think it may be just good enough for SWTOR)

So, You're looking at a motherboard, CPU, and Memory... I reccommend these.

  • Motherboard: ASRock M3A770DE AM3 AMD 770 ATX - $60
  • CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 - $112
  • RAM: Mushkin 4GB 1333 - $25



    It will run you $230 $205 $197 Always consider a CPU fan, it protects your investment.

    Maybe a year down the road consider Windows 7 64 bit for $90... then consider a new GPU...

    EDIT I take this back... you are on Windows XP I assume... Get yourself 4GB of DDR3.. *GB doesnt work and is overkill.. even on W7 64bit.. i dont go over 2.5gb.
    EDIT 2 Lets knock off $8 more and use Amazon.com for the CPU

See, actually, that is not true. First off, towers are things that look cool, not actually enhance your performance. Also, 30fps is the same on all platforms - sickening.
And to actually answer OP's question, Yes, it is possible to get a rig that will run most games on high to ultra settings @ 1080p @ 60fps for ~500 USD.

Now, the following rig is direct copy and paste from /r/pcmasterrace, an entire subreddit dedicated to PC gaming and having fun. This is one of the best builds I have seen for $500, and if you want, PM me or post on /r/pcmasterrace and they can help customize it more. Enjoy!.

There’s a sale on Amazon right now that has the 3600x at literally $7 more than the 3600. It is a steal, should definitely add the 3600x to your list.

3600: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07STGGQ18

3600x: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D

Otherwise great build. Just any old 144hz low latency monitor should suit you good, I think the monitor you chose will probably do you fine.

And I’m pretty sure you don’t need any special thermal paste.

Cool. I'll go without a cooler for now so and might get one along the line.

May be easier for me to the one I have now as a lot of the places do not ship to Ireland.

Thanks for the suggestions and help! This is not available in 27", is it? Is TN your preference? If I was to get an IPS, would you have any recommendation on that?

Since I'm going with a 1070, should I be leaning towards 1440p?

Also, one last thing, Are these products the same? It'd be cheaper for me to get it from another region on Amazon.

Alright Ill give you two options an amd and an intel option. The intel will be better for most games in the current year and probably for some time, but it will also be more expensive.

INTEL CPU, MOBO, RAM, COOLER , €740.67AMD CPU, The tomahawk max ( I cant link it because It cant be bought in US yet), RAM, COOLER €559.88

The cooler is largely my preference and I would only highly recommend that you use it on 9700k, you could get away with something cheaper on the 3600. If you are planning doing anything like streaming/recording, or using editors that aren't PS you should probably go for an amd chip. The amd chip is obviously significantly cheaper, but I think that its also probably the better deal, that said.If you are purely gaming go with the 9700k to really get the performance that you want for now and the coming years.

The i3 8100 is newer, cheaper and faster overall.

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-8th-Core-i3-8100-Processor/dp/B0759FTRZL/

The i3 8350k is a good bit faster in every aspect and also cheaper.

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-8350K-Desktop-Processor-unlocked/dp/B0759FWJDK/

No point buying the 7320 honestly.

The i5 8500 has slower single core speed than the i3 8350k, honestly the i5 isn't really worth it if you don't rely on multithreading quite heavily and then only if you get the i5 9600K which is a good bit more expensive.

Your benchmarks are a bit outdated and don't include the latest CPUs, I personally like userbenchmark.com, usually reliable figures and easy to compare stuff.

This is a very pricey build for a casual PC. I suggest you to not go with this build unless you plan on upgrading later. here are some alternatives.

Remember to always make a build around the monitor and therefore decide the monitor first.

heres a cheap one, approx rs6300

https://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B0157V5TS4/

processor :- it s better to go with intel since motherboard for kaby lake s cheaper for cheaper processor.

heres a good combo

g4560, 2core 4 threads, rs4900

https://www.amazon.in/Intel-G4560-Genenration-Pentium-Processor/dp/B01NCE8T92/

mobo ,rs4300, max ram speed supported 2300mhz

https://www.amazon.in/Gigabyte-GA-H110M-S2-1151-Updated-Motherboard/dp/B06Y4SG6RY/

hdd is fine, ram is fine too

since build is light, u dont need aftermarket psu, get a zebronics cabinet psu combo for 2k

dvd drive not needed, m/kb goes for 500 locally, ups,fans not needed, speakers rs500

total cost :- 28000

save the rest for a 1050ti

sorry for the formatting.

u/ApproximateConifold · 1 pointr/bapcsalescanada

While I agree with the other commenters as to the actual asking price- if you really want to recoup some of your costs you could raise the price by a few hundred dollars provided you have the right buyer.

The idea is to stress the fact that it's a processor that runs at 4.0ghz (stress big numbers) and is a quadcore i5 (conflate this with modern i5/quadcore cpus), that's unlocked (doesn't matter that the 4.0ghz number basically refers to that). Talk about how it has 16gbs of RAM, I'd also try to overclock it so the frequency increases (same idea as 4.0 ghz). then show them a combination of the pcpartpicker page, this NCIX page, and either this amazon page or this pcpartpicker page. Hopefully you can demonstrate the value of the system doing this and raise the asking price (maybe 650-700). Stress the CAD:USD value if they might ask about the price.

I know that this stuff works on most people who aren't familiar with building their own PC/looking at components often. I'm ashamed to say I did something like this when I worked at Futureshop (it was a pretty toxic environment tbh, we got into stealing sales and effectively stalking customers... ugh)- and it seemed to work. I know from talking to friends who still buy prebuilt rigs from physical stores that it still works.

So yeah... if your desire to recoup your losses is stronger than your desire to not take advantage of people- then you could probably raise the asking price and reasonably expect to receive more.

u/oaktrees24 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Can't really help with your monitor situation, but since this is a budget build, you can just go with this cpu because the K series is an unlocked processor made for overclocking (which I don't see you plan on doing)

and this as your motherboard. mATX, low price, good budget MoBo based on reviews. You won't need to waste $$ on a Z board for the above reason. The MSI bios is much easier to understand compared to ASRock also.

Your graphics card is actually still pretty good. Entry level gaming, no need to prioritize on that immediately.

u/jackinab0x · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

A better build for the money -

13 4160 - 8425Rs.

Cheapest H81 Mobo - 3.5k

8GB DDR3 RAM - 2300Rs.

Storage - 1TB, 3.6k

GPU - 17k, gtx 960

Cabinet - Variable, could go upto 3k for decent Circle cabinets.

PSU - 2.5k Antec PSU, powers my R9 290

Totals upto about 40k give or take(You could get parts much cheaper in an actual store) and you get a system which kicks the PS4's ass.

I know Indian prices are fucked and console gaming looks more tempting but trust me, looking at our steam store prices i'd say its worth it.

If you live in Delhi visit Nehru place to purchase your parts, you'll get the best prices there.

u/puckbeaverton · 3 pointsr/AskMen

lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.

Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.

You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.

BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.

And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."

Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.

Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.

Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.

These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.

Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)

PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.

There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.

Why? As you said, he doesn't plan on overclocking and the i3 can't be overclocked. It performs, on average, better than the 6300 in games due to its superior single core performance.




u/ebrandsberg · 0 pointsr/Amd

AMD put online at least some 3700x's on Amazon, this triggered the notification that went out, but apparently the number they said could be fulfilled was fulfilled in minutes. 3900x's were on the AMD site itself, but you couldn't use the "shop" section to get to them, you had to find the 3900x product page, THEN click "add to cart". Those are sold out as well. Only the 3600x's that are on Amazon are the ones that still seem to be in stock: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D.

Newegg has 3600x's as well: https://www.newegg.com/amd-ryzen-5-3600x/p/N82E16819113568.

I haven't seen anywhere reporting 3600's, 3800, or 3800x as being available yet.

edit: /u/Morbis0688 was correct-I double checked the mail I got and it was a cpu sold by someone else. I had clicked through to AMD's storefront however, which is where my confusion was.

u/footcreamfin · 1 pointr/buildapc

The same exact CPU is $112 on Amazon. Get it there and same some money



You can easily get 8gb of ram for the price your paying for 4gb. Either get cheaper ram, or upgrade to 8gb.


Get PSU from a more reliable producer. Preferably this. Its cheaper, modular (helps ALOT with cable management) and more reliable.




The motherboard you chose is not very good. And leaves NO space for future upgrades (bulldozer CPU, or Crossfire GPU). If you REALLY want to save money, get this. But I would strongly suggest you get a better motherboard like this one.








u/Bryce_nSpam · 1 pointr/PcBuild

For CPU, I’d personally go for the Ryzen 5 3600 for $195. If you’re set on intel, get the i5 9600K at $200. It is superb for gaming. Note that if you plan to switch to Ryzen, you’ll have to get a different motherboard.

Yeah, my old Mobo was bottlenecking my ram quite a bit, speeds should go up over 1500 MHz with the new one.The ram I currently have already is DDR4 (bought it while keeping in mind I'd be upgrading mobo less than a year later).

I ended up getting a Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming motherboard with an Intel Core i7-9700k 3.6GHz 8-Core processor.

Since it didn't come with a cooler, I also got a Noctua NH-L12S CPU cooler.

Mobo is the same size as my old one (just to be doubly sure it will fit in my case), and the cooler is a smaller air cooler that will fit in my case.

I'm hoping to see noticable performance improvements after I install these next week.

u/turbopiki · 1 pointr/buildapc

This is the best i can do it a bit over budget, because Intel is so overpriced here in Europe you can actually get ryzen 5 2600+mobo for same amount as i3 8100+mobo.

Anyway Computeruniverse is to expensive don't know why their i3 price is so high also they charge you VAT for Sweden.

Here is Amazon.de total is around 374€ shipping not included since i don't know how much they charge and i don't want to make an account.

And here is Caseking.de they also charge you Sweden VAT, Total is 373.53€ + 15.65€ which comes up to 389.18€ (you can save 2€ if you pay with bank deposit, if you pay any other way like Paypal, credit card, Bitcoin prices stays the same)

Let me help you out buddy.
Amazon is selling the better i5 4670 for only 184.99. I used the link below and talked to staples and got their 110% price match and got it for 193.08 after taxes. Then if you check out with their visa checkout you get an additional 25 dollars off on this since its over 100 dollars. So better processor for cheaper! Also (im currently building a pc too so I been frantically trying to save money where i can) the EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze power supply is 39.99 on newegg plus if you use google wallet thats another 15 dollars off so its 24.99 More wattage for cheaper. Also if your trying to save as much as you can, you can get the kingston fury series 2 x4gig ddr3- 1600 for 75 dollars instead of the 90 you posted.

That looks like a great build. However, you would get far better gaming performance by putting something like a GTX 950 in there. You could buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0741DN383/ref=twister_B07QDLTW62?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 and use the savings to put towards a 950, they go for £40-£50 on ebay.

u/Eldereon · 2 pointsr/buildapc

The i5-7600K is currently $45 off, putting it at same price as the Ryzen 5 1600. However, factor in sales tax because Newegg may not charge it for your location while Amazon will (as it is for me). https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i5-7600K-Desktop-Processors-BX80677I57600K/dp/B01MRRPPQS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1510408494&sr=1-1&keywords=i5+7600k&dpID=411CaHHS7aL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

The i5-7600K has +20% effective speed. The only downside is 2 less cores and 1/3 the number of threads (4). Those specs only really matter when you do things like programming, graphical design, and video production, though. Or if you want to stream. In summary:

  • Ryzen 5 1600: Better for everything that requires a lot of data processing.
  • i5-7600K: Currently $45 off and considerably better gaming performance.
u/limegreenclown · 3 pointsr/techsupport

Yeah old thermal paste sometimes turns into glue, chizel that old CPU off and go pick up pretty much any AM3 or IIRC AM2+ CPU to replace it with. Make sure you get new, good thermal paste such as artic silver and clean all the old gunk off the heatsink before reinstalling.

u/CujiFuji · 22 pointsr/Paladins

So wait, you're using an 8 year old CPU combined with a modern architecture GPU and you're complaining about performance?

It's worth noting there's absolutely no way in hell your build is even utilizing all of your GPU's power - if you have the money I'd advise picking up a 1600x.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Desktop-CPU-AM4-3-5GHz-3-7GHz/dp/B06XKVNRSM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496850023&sr=8-1&keywords=amd+1500x

It's worth noting that yeah, it would appear Paladins performance has drastically decreased since the past few patches; I'm not entirely sure why this is because I can't view their code base, but drivers could potentially have an effect here. It might be worth checking if your drivers are up to date, here's a useful tool for AMD card users to auto-check their drivers:

My last critique with your final build would be the processor, Intel i series processors are known for being good with gaming in general while amd processors are better at work related topics. An i3 would serve you build best, but in the end it's your choice if you want it or not and the Athlon will serve you well.

u/penguinzrock · 1 pointr/buildapc

Looks great! Things you might want to consider though:

  • CPU can be downgraded to an i3, higher base clock speeds, not a big difference since you're not doing any real processing and you're using it for gaming too
  • Money saved on the CPU/spare cash can be used to get a cheap, fast SSD for your OS and core programs. Honestly, they're worth it, and cut your boot-times down to 8 - 20 seconds from >1 minute with a HDD.

R5. Pretty close to the i5 in gaming but smashes it in productivity.

Edit: Eh fuck it, full comparison.

i5 7600k - $210. Doesn't come with a stock cooler, can commonly reach overclocks of 4.7-4.8 GHz, 4 Cores / 4 Threads.

Here is a brief comparison between them while OC'd to 3.9 and 4.5

Here is another comparison, this time at 4.0 and 5.0 respectively

Here is a third comparison. 3.8 and 4.7

Draw your own conclusions.

Productivity is a no brainer. 6 Cores and 12 Threads for $210, triple the threads of the 7600k. I'm not sure where to get specific benchmarks for these types of applications, do your own research on that. Anything that takes advantage of lots of cores will do better on the 1600, as far as I'm aware.

At the lower price point - 1400 @ $160 vs i5-7400 @ $185 / i3-7100 @ $160

...No comparison. Intel loses the clock speed advantage while AMD retains the core advantage. There is absolutely no point getting an Intel CPU that isn't the i5-7600k or i7-7700k

The ASRock C236 WSI seems like a great option. Since you're not looking for a powerful system, why not drop a Pentium in there?

The Pentium G4400 is on the supported list, supports ECC RAM, and is pretty cheap too (£53 on Amazon), not really adding much to the overall cost of the system.

So, upgrading the CPU and GPU and all that is pretty much starting from scratch, just reusing case, powersupply, and harddrives. There is not much difference from doing that and truly starting from scratch. No real performance improvement, assuming you have an SSD.

I threw a CPU+MoBo+RAM combo together on amazon DE for less than 200 Euro that should be a solid upgrade. All together, with GPU, you are a bit over 300 Euro.

The AMD or the Intel chips?

Intel don't go on sale super often and tend to stick pretty close to msrp.

the numbers listed for the intel chips above are actually all lower than the average prices for the chips over the last while.
9600k, 9700k, 9900k - in the price of the i7 the price in the chart is actually lower than the lowest price on amazon

edit: based on a quick bpcsales seems like the prices may be reflections of the best sales prices over the last month or so, most in the last 4 days - whereas previously they'd not been on sale.

u/rationis · 4 pointsr/intel

Ah, I've been looking at power consumption based off of price/perf since Ryzen doesn't compete core for core, but rather price.

>Considering the 7820X is more power efficient than the 1800X, is considerably faster, and has a much higher overclocking headroom, the ~20% price premium isn't bad at all.

However this is still not true. According to the site you've been referencing, the 7820X used 20.4% more power to deliver 5.6% more performance than the 1800X in C15. So the 7820X used .134W per point and the 1800X used only .117W per point. So the 1800X is 14.5% more power efficient than the 7820X in that test.

The 1800X's official MSRP is $469, which makes the 7820K about 28% more expensive, not 20%. However, if you wanted to buy right now, the 1800X can be had for $420. You also cannot disregard the rather hefty premium X299 demands over the AM4 platform.

Yes i5s like the 3570k and the 2500k are better than the i3. Speaking of which the 2500k is only 199.99 at some places. The i3 is better than the 2310 though.

IMHO I believe PC Part Picker is NOT the place you want to buy from. Yes, they have a user friendly interface, but that's it. Their parts are overpriced and you pay for shipping. Check these links for the exact same products through Amazon, and for most of the parts you get free shipping.

u/Icantgetthistowork · 1 pointr/buildapc

Socket is important for the CPU an 4th Gen i7 for example uses LGA1150 Sockets, i7 7th Gen uses LGA 1151 Sockets, it's basically the part that holds the CPU in place and connects it with the mobo and defines what kind of CPU you can use. So most likely you'd have to also upgrade your mobo and RAM if you upgrade your CPU.

You could get an Asus Z170-P (100$), an i5-7600K (235$) and 8GB Balistix DDR4 2400mhz (60$) totaling to 395$ excluding shipping. As GPU you could get any GTX 1070 (~400$). I can't recommend you any AMD GPUs as I'm not up to date on them. Of course you could get a GTX 1060 and save ~200$ and invest them in an i7 or just save the 200$ if you don't need an 1070s performance. That all depends on your needs and you might want to ask again tomorrow as there might be some better options or maybe cheaper options that I'm not aware of.

Edit: moved two words. Oops.

u/Raimon86 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hey man. There's a lot wrong with this build. To start, if you're not overclocking, scrap the processor, it's an old one and go for this one...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0136JONG8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482787139&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=i7+6700+processor&dpPl=1&dpID=411v0MvpCaL&ref=plSrch

It's far superior and because it's not overclockable it's supplied with a stock cooler, so you can scrap the aftermarket cooler you've gone for.

I'm on mobile, but I'm sure 100% sure you can get a much better build for the same budget, someone else here not on mobile will be able to do that for you. If they don't remind me and I'll have a go when I'm back home.

u/theblueness · 1 pointr/buildapc

750 watts should be absolutely fine for that CPU. If you want to go 7 dollars over budget the absolute best CPU for LGA 1150 disregarding overclocking is the 4790 (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-BX80646I74790/dp/B00J56YSLM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487642057&sr=8-2&keywords=4970) although I think the 4690 makes more sense.

Are you sure those numbers are right?

Amazon India has the 9700K at about 35k.

If so, that's an incredibly good deal. I'd totally go for it.

I have an AM3 board that is currently running a Phenom II X6 1075t found here http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-Thuban-Six-Core-Processor/dp/B0041G50LI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416513353&sr=8-1&keywords=phenom+ii+1075t I bought the motherboard and processor used off of a friend, but after some problems, I ended up RMAing both of them. At the time, I had a Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition found here http://www.amazon.com/AMD-HDZ955FBGMBOX-Phenom-Edition-3-2GHz/dp/B002TQYUAE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416513737&sr=8-1&keywords=955+black+edition , and AMD sent me the 1075t as a replacement. Both of them are great CPUs from what I know of the 1075t and my friend's knowledge of the 955 BE. However, the non-Black-Edition CPUs do not have unlocked multipliers, therefore making their overclocking abilities somewhat limited and more complicated. However, if overclocking doesn't mean much to you, you can safely ignore this and just go by Core number, base clock speed, etc. If you really want something cheap and weak to get you by, you can get this http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Sempron-145-Processor-SDX145HBGMBOX/dp/B0040BPHJO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1416513613&sr=8-7&keywords=am3+processor it is labeled as a single core, but I believe it has an unlockable second core, if what I remember reading about it is correct. I've also found what seem to be really great AM3 overclocking guides on Google, but I have not found the time to mess with it much. Also note that, while you probably already know this, you cannot use AM3+ processors on AM3 boards. You can, however, use AM3 CPUs on AM3+ boards. AM3 CPUs have 941 pins, AM3+ have 942.

u/wasted1001 · 1 pointr/buildapc

So the American price doesnt include 2 things

  1. shipping
  2. import fees

    With shipping your amazon prime wont get you free shipping as amazon.com is a seperate entity from amazon.co.uk.

    with import tax, amazon will charge you import fees, so all in all if the american price is cheaper it wont be by much but in most cases it will work out more expensive.

    ​

    ive included a link as an example

    ​

    https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-9700K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B07HHN6KBZ/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9700k&qid=1566699542&s=gateway&sr=8-1

    ​

    as you can see, the price is discounted from $410 to $350, thats £285... then you have to play $80.07 (£71) so you are paying in total £356.

    on scan.co.uk

    https://www.scan.co.uk/products/intel-core-i7-9700-s-1151-coffee-lake-refresh-8-core-8-thread-30ghz-47ghz-turbo-12mb-1200mhz-gpu-65w?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwIPrBRCJARIsAFlVT8-6SeY5se4Vi6B5Zo4RORqKN6a6HYVYNXQZQmpMLfWKZl0FNs4029caAnbuEALw_wcB

    the price is £346. so its £10 cheaper to get it in the UK or

    https://www.ebuyer.com/859395-intel-core-i7-9700k-3-6-ghz-processor-bx80684i79700k?gclid=Cj0KCQjwwIPrBRCJARIsAFlVT89HB1J9NUBBt2Jm1inkYFS-GIAnlGHntADDLROiTzZhwaes6bzZmZQaAkfQEALw_wcB

    which is £375.00 which is £20 more expensive.

    ​

    also, keep in mind that with the Uk suppliers, if you need to send it back to get replaced, you are not paying international shipping

    ​

    anyway, i hope this helps

Well I don't really know how you can sensibly use that whole budget. He's my recommendation for a bit less

Ryzan 7 1800X

Corsair H100i v2

Asus B350-F

Corsair 16GB 3200MHz RAM

So that is the high end Ryzen CPU. With that Mobo you can over clock and the liquid CPU cooler will keep it all cool. The ram is high clock so you get the best out of Ryzen.

u/darkszluf · 1 pointr/linux_gaming

if you want to stay on your socket the best that you can get is the Athlon 860K and overclock it or even try that route with the APU you already have, with a proper OC it should handle the 1050ti decently but you will be set back in CPU heavy games .

the best way to get out of it is getting a standard GTX 1050 and a decent air cooling for your APU to OC it.

u/goodnames679 · 1 pointr/buildapc
I'd suggest switching cases and motherboards to a larger case with better cooling, and to regular ATX instead of Micro. It's possible to do so for roughly the same price, actually

Also, I wouldn't recommend using the 4440. The 4590 is $3 more than the link you provided, and I believe it performs better (I haven't looked into it in extreme detail).

Yeah, I've been only able to find cores with the 1155 socket on Amazon (although I could try r/hardwareswap too...)

According to Amazon, anyway, a 3770K would be around $350 used.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-3770K-Quad-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B007SZ0EOW

A 3570K is about $200 used (ignoring first offer)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007SZ0E1K/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

And a 2500K is about $170 used.

So, I guess, which is the best option?

Will take the opportunity to double check with you guys if my new rig setup will be safe power wise :D

GPUs: 5x Asus DUAL GTX1060 3GB 192-Bit GDDR5

PSU: EVGA 1000 GQ, 80+ GOLD 1000W

CPU: Intel Pentium Processor G4400 3.3 GHz

MotherBoard: MSI Pro Solution Intel Z170A LGA 1151 DDR4

RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY Black 4GB

thanks!

Hey thanks for the input, bit of a novice here; but way to late trying to piece this together. I wanted to get all the orders in soon so they arrive by the 26th.

Is this the CPU you would recommend?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JONG8/?tag=pcpapi-20

(I7-6700 FC-LAG14C 3.40 Ghz 8 M processor)

I do plan on rendering possibly a lot of videos for work in a month or so. I'm unfamiliar with the power required to do this.

Also I don't really need to overclock, but I guess it would be nice to have that option in case it's ever needed.

u/haswelp · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme
This should do nicely for you. There's room in the budget to swap the i5 6500 out for an i7 6700 if you feel like you'll get use out of it.

>equivalent computer

Here is a list of the 360's hardware.

Here is a quad core, 3.2ghz processor.
Here is 2gb DDR3 RAM, here is the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi, here is an external blu-ray drive. Here is a 2TB external HDD. This is a network card, and this is a motherboard. Along with the GTX 295.

Total estimate? £837. You were right, except for one minor detail; this isn't the equivalent. This is above and beyond in a great deal of ways, and will probably be a decent gaming setup for a good 6-8 years. Consoles are inferior in the terms of hardware, in the way of adaptability to said hardware, in the limitations that the manufacturer sets, and the control scheme. Carry on, peasant.

u/PrimePhoenix · 1 pointr/ifiwonthelottery

Well... I have been meaning to build a new desktop and an Intel i7 sounds pretty good right now :)

u/SMQRSKEET · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks for that utility. I am looking at it now. I have selected this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0136JONG8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE as I won't be overclocking and can spend the extra £50 on something else. Good to know about the cooler and paste.
I'm changing a few things around. Thanks again for your help.!

u/Ceraxus · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hey guys, asking here just to be sure. I'm about to upgrade my processor but in order to do that i need to upgrade my motherboard and my question simply is do these parts work with each other?

2nd question: Can i have only one stick of 8gb ram on it or do i need 2x8gb ? (Money's tight at the moment and i feel like i really don't need more ram than 8 gb since the only game i play is csgo)

Processor Intel i5 7600k

Motherboard MSI Z270

u/Thatonesillyfucker · 5 pointsr/intel

If the leaks are anything to go by (and the numbers were either surprisingly close or totally accurate for the top 3 CPUs in the stack), aren't the 4c/8t CPUs going to have even lower clocks and power draw? I don't remember seeing any rumour for them pushing even 4GHz, but it could all be complete garbage for all I know, since it makes sense to be able to have higher clocks with less cores like Intel does.

Edit: Oh yeah, check this description out: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-YD180XBCAEWOF-Ryzen-1800X-Processor/dp/B06W9JXK4G/ref=zg_bs_229189_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=02EPSEQGTTNHK09PX19Z "Push the envelope with 8 processor cores, 16 threads, and the highest clock rates you can get on the advanced Socket AM4 platform."

u/Valhalla_I_Am_Coming · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yeah the 860k is a solid little processor. Just pair it with an FM2+ motherboard like this one and you're good to go!

u/kenman884 · 1 pointr/Amd

I would get a cheaper Ryzen 3 1200 and perhaps look into a cheaper set of speakers such as these

Otherwise, looks great! Your experience will be vastly improved.

u/Phlat_Dog · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yes, that. Also, if you were planning on blowing over $300 on a processor you could get a substantially more powerful one like an i7-4790

u/jejuaaue · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks means a lot :) but I saw 2 of them a and Ryzen 3 1200
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Desktop-Processor-Stealth-YD1200BBAEBOX/dp/B0741DN383?keywords=amd+1200&qid=1536405116&sr=8-2&ref=mp_s_a_1_2

And a and Ryzen 3 2200 with Radeon g Vega 8 graphics.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D3DBNM?keywords=amd+1200&qid=1536405116&sr=8-3&ref=mp_s_a_1_3

Which one would be better since there just 5$ difference? And also when you mentioned the motherboard what should I change it to?

u/ColonialDagger · 1 pointr/buildapc

This is my current build, with a case picked out on Amazon that doesn't appear on Part Picker.

On the Amazon page for that proccesor, it says, and I quote:

>Compatible with Z87 and Z97 motherboards. Z87 motherboard users may need to apply a BIOS update for compatibility. Not compatible with Intel Motherboards.

Since this is the first time I build a PC, I just want to play it safe and make sure everything works fine according to their specifications.

BUY THIS CPU FROM AMAZON RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Screw microproxy. (unless youre getting the i7 4790k with the Black friday $250 deal) IM NOT GOING TO HESITATE TO BEAT YOU IF YOU DONT.
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i7-4790-Processor-BX80646I74790/dp/B00J56YSLM

Good choice on the krait.

This build eliminates the need for an aftermarket cooler. And is SIGNIFICANTLY better for all the editing/rendering and stuff.
Cheaper better parts ^~^

Last note: CONSIDER THIS CASE ITS SO FKIN PRETTY ;--; and 70$
