We need more specs for your system, but I'm gonna make a few assumptions and make a few reasonably cheap suggestions. INB4 some dude comes in and like "oh you need dual GTX 1080 and 3-4k monitors and blah blah blah". I'm giving advice assuming he's not a Saudi Prince with millions of dollars to spare.

The 6870 isn't a TERRIBLE card. You could make it run OKAY with medium settings and you're probably going to run into a bottleneck with that CPU if you upgrade GPU first anyways.

You honestly should start saving for new Motherboard + CPU combo. the BEST processor you can possibly get for your motherboard is Core 2 Extreme QX9650. This motherboard socket is so old, I would go as far to say that it would be very difficult to even find this CPU. The BEST CPU for your socket came out November 14, 2007. So basically, you need to start from the ground up.

Please note that all of my "is more powerful than" numbers come from passmark CPU benchmark scores, and that I'm using Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00GHz Score: 2,172 for your CPU

If you wanna go cheap as possible, but still an upgrade, and upgradable in the future , this is about your best bet. This CPU is only about 1.4X stronger (passmark score 2,976), and I highly reccomend you upgrade it to something better than this, but this is the CHEAPEST upgrade option that would allow you to upgrade better in the future.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q9f223

CPU

Intel Celeron G1840 2.8GHz Dual-Core Processor $38.99 SuperBiiz

Motherboard

MSI H81M-E34 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard $50.88 OutletPC



A little bit better CPU option on that same motherboard would be Intel Core i3-4170, which has roughly 2.5x the power of your current one (passmark CPU score of 5,129)
Intel Core i3-4170 cost about $120 at outletpc


Stepping it up a bit, http://pcpartpicker.com/list/LJQLr7

Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard - $50

Core i5-6500 ~$200

Rosewill HIVE 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - $30-50

This CPU is quite powerful, approx 3.5X more powerful than your current CPU, and probably one of the more popular gaming CPUs. People may say you need more, but for like 98% of people, this is way plenty for power. With this CPU, you pretty much won't have a bottleneck for at least the next 3-4 years-ish (guessing obviously, I'm not psychic), but it might last longer. Also in that link is a PSU, which is often overlooked, but you will probably definitely need. If you want a more powerful computer, it's going to require more power (duh).

Then you're going to want to think about GPUs. GPUs always cost the most out of anything in your system, and there's a lot of fanboying going on between Nvidia and AMD. Basically, it's like this. AMD has older hardware, but it's still pretty decent and they sell it for much cheaper. NVidia has newer hardware, but you pay the premium of having the best. Some games run better on AMD, some run better on Nvidia.

My Picks -

AMD =

  • RX 460 ~$120-$140 4GB GDDR5
  • RX 480 ~$200-$250, 4-8GB GDDR5 (you can get ones with more fans and ram for more, but honestly, that's up to you)

    Nvidia =

  • GTX 750 Ti for ~$130-140
  • GeForce GTX 1060 ~$200-230, 3-6GB

Our mutual friend asked me to help you out. Sorry its kinda long but hope it helps.

General Thoughts about building your own computer:
IMO buying computer hardware is all about future proofing. If your not a hardcore enthusiast you want to buy what you are not going to need to upgrade for a long long time. For example my friend JUST upgraded his gtx8800+ to the new 780. His 8800 lasted him like 10 years. However, doing this usually means purchasing the top of the line hardware at the time which ofc is not always possible to do this with your budget. IMO If you are going to spend the money, spend a little more so that you are super happy and wont have any regrets. This is why if your budget doesnt fit a lot of people upgrade piece by piece. usually the video card is the last bit to be upgraded because they are the largest cost white being the quickest to go out of date. For example the same friend who recently upgraded to a 780 upgraded his case, cpu, motherboard, and ram 2 years ago to a decent i52500k & held off upgrading the video card till now. Also it is worth mentioning that the reason he opted for the 780 over anything else is because not only is it (arguably) the best video card it has improvements over the last generation chips. for example the 770 is just a beefier 680. The 780 runs the gk110 chip and also has larger bandwith etcetc (these things have been discussed to death on countless forums and i am just stating my opinion on it). I think that the 780 provides better future proofing and value retention.

Build Recommendations:
Now that my own general mindset has been given here are some recommendations to your build.

  1. Instead of the 670 get a 770 for only a little more $ (link below)

  2. You will need a larger watt power supply! i also recommend future proofing yourself with this. I personally purchased a 1200 watt corsair 4 years ago and it has lasted me through 2 builds and will last me quite a few more. Computer Cases follow this principle as well - they will last you numerous builds so get one that can scale with you. But i would recommend at least a 700w power supply. I believe the 670 requires around a 600w anyways. and you always want to have more than less.

  3. Please also do not get home premium get at least Pro. Also you can probably download a cracked version of ultimate for free and can save some money this way. (cough ask someone for a copy cough).

  4. A common thing first time builders forget is also a cpu heatsink. Do not use the stock one that comes with your cpu. i would recommend the Corsair h60 an all in one easy watercooling solution which i myself use. Easily allows you to overclock without all the hard work and money for conventional watercooling - and not a whole lot more expensive than the better aircooling solutions that i would recommend you get (2nd link below. its newer version than the one i have)

  5. Last and least important. I would recommend getting a larger SSD. It is a pain in the ass not having enough storage for typical daily use, but maybe thats just me because i set all my default download locations to the desktop and i often find myself running out of space on my 256gb ssd. You can double the capacity of the crucial m4 for only another $20. Remember that windows will be about 30gb. and your ssd will only really be 59 gb.

    Company Opinions
    I hate Newegg and have had nothing but crappy experiences with them. I only purchase from them if absolutely necessary and cross my fingers. I almost buy exclusively from Amazon now as i have amazon prime and amazons customer service is unparalleled. I also usually get bad cases of buyer remorse and amazons no quibbles 30 day return with no restocking fee is awesome. + free shipping with prime.

    As for choice of mouse and keyboard im a razer fan =P.

    Final Remark:
    This is probably going to have you go over budget. I would recommend doing a piece by piece upgrade as you get the funds instead of compromising. At the end of the day do what you personally will be happy with and that wont give you regrets. A good friend of mine thinks way different from me about choosing of hardware and that is why i want to give you background on my thinking. If you have any questions feel free =].

> Personally, I'm not one to drool over all the 4k whatever stuff that the PS4 Pro allows.

The only native 4k you will ever get on a PS4 Pro is perhaps 4k video playback, if you wish to use it as a media center. It does not have the capability to run games in native 4k, even by a long shot.

What you're going to read online, that you will play games in 4k on it are pure marketing lies, just the way they always write them to deceive less tech-savvy customers. The only thing it does, is artificially upscale the resolution from 1080p to 4k, which doesn't even come close to outputting the game at true, native 4k. You could call it fake 4k, if you like.

> If I'm building a PC, I want it to be better than a console. I want it to run faster and look better than a console, and not need to be upgraded after a year or two.

And it will. PC parts don't deteriorate over time. If you build a PC that outperforms a PS4 Pro right now, which isn't really hard to do for $600, it's going to outperform it one year from now, two years from now and for the rest of the life of the PS4 Pro.

> You are right about the online and cheaper games, but you're not mentioning that you will need to upgrade that $400-600 build in a year or two, while that's not really an issue with consoles, unless you consider the PS4 Pro as a huge upgrade.

You won't necessarily need to upgrade your PC. You have the option to, but not an obligation. Like I said before, if you begin with a PC that outperforms the latest consoles, you're good to go for at least as long as that console's lifecycle is still running (e.g. games are developed for it).

Which brings me to another benefit of playing on the PC - options. Graphical, to be specific. You can always play around with a dozen different settings to optimize your gaming experience the way you want it. Feel like fps is getting a bit low in some parts? Lower some setting. Don't forget that the graphical settings used on console are almost always equivalent to the Low - Low/Medium preset on the PC. And on the PC, you're always in control of the graphical fidelity triangle.

Of course, everything depends on your budget. If you wish to go above $600, that's up to you. So let's take a look at the part list you've sent. For the GPU, I'd definitely advise you to go for the 10 series GPUs. The 1050 is about 50% better than the 950 for the same price. EDIT: actually, no! Scratch that. If you wish to go for the ~$170 range, your absolute best bet is the RX 470. It has a great price/performance ratio and in some benchmarks even comes close the the 1060 performance.

And lastly, if your budget allows you, you could even go for the 1060, which is even better than my 970, and would be an absolute beast for 1080p gaming. This would be particularly useful in case you'd want VR, as the 1060 supports it, unlike the RX 470.

I'll leave that decision to you, just know that the RX 470 will already decimate any console out there.

The rest of your build is well picked out, nothing to change there. If you currently own a console, don't forget you can use its HDD in your PC as well, if you wish. Oh and if you're going to play on your TV at first, make sure to use your PS4 controller on your PC. It will work with it just fine.

GTX 970 right now is decent value for money if you plan on mostly playing DX11 titles in 1080p. You can get one for 200 pounds, slightly more if you want a premium quality custom model with factory overclock, such as this GALAX Black Edition. But I would not recommend it. 970 had a good run, can personally confirm that it works great - I have MSI 970 4G Gaming edition, bought it 1 month after launch, served me exceptionally well. But its a 2 year old GPU - it was primarily designed for DX11 games, it runs them exceptionally well - it even outruns RX 480 and 1060 in some titles! - although it does have full DX12 support. Even async compute - despite what some AMD fanboys say, 970 supports, it just doesn't benefit much from enabling it. And drivers for it are about as good as they will ever get, there is not much more performance to gain from driver optimization, aside from fixing some game-specific bugs (there is a good side to it tho - its very stable and reliable, never had a driver crash when gaming for over a year when I play on stock clocks, even when playing indie/beta games)

I am right now playing most games on mixture of high/ultra settings and getting 60fps average. But I can already see the card starting to struggle with more recent titles - The Divison it wont reach 60 unless I give up on ultra settings. Its a Ubisoft game, but still. I am managing, because I don't mind not having everything on ultra, and I also got my 970 to reach 1560MHz core clock - thats 300MHz over reference stock clocks (50 MHz from factory overclock, and another 250 from Afterburner), I am running it on 1460 MHz by default right now, because at 1560 I do get an odd glitch or texture artefact on less stable/optimized games. I am gonna replace it next year probably, 2018 at the latest - but thats only if Vega disappoints me as much as Pascal did.

My point is - the 970 has great reputation, its a good cad, and those who bought it on launch got a great value from it - maxing out games for 2 years, and then 1-2 more years of relative comfort playing at OK settings that don't make eyes bleed. But buying one right now - its just not something I would recommend to anyone who wants good GPU that will last for a while.

If you really want nVidia - just get a 1060. Its a good performer, it runs DX12/Vulkan better - although RX 480 is still better for those new APIs - and its only gonna get better as drivers mature.

This Zotac 1060 is tiny and easy to install, will run cool, and costs 233 pounts, which is just 20 pounds more than 970. Additional 2GB of VRAM alone worth the extra 20.

Yeah, the bulk of the money is going for that fast 8 core CPU. You said that you wanted to use this for gaming, that's the reason for a FAST CPU. Most games out there today are still single thread so if you don't have a fast CPU it would affect game play. You could easily buy a slower 8 core CPU for your number crunching tasks and save a ton of money. You need to be concerned about the number of cores a CPU has and not necessarily the speed of the CPU. I think that after the new consoles launch, this aspect of game play will change anyway. Both the Xbox One and the PS4 will have 8 core processors so it only seems logical that most games from here on out will be multi-threaded.

Here is an 8 core CPU for $1,140 that would work great for your application:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117266

You could also downsize the GPU to a GTX 780. The GTX 780 is just a cut down Titan. You would see a performance hit and it would be determined by exactly how your software uses hardware acceleration. The GTX 780 has 2,304 CUDA cores and 3GB of VRAM, the Titan has 2,688 CUDA cores and 6GB of VRAM. If your software is using CUDA cores the performance hit wouldn't be too bad but if it was using VRAM it would be by half. (It wouldn't be half as fast it would just be significantly slower because you have half as much VRAM.) I would strongly suggest that you not buy a GPU below the GTX 780. The GTX 770s, 660Tis and 660s have different architecture that will not perform nearly as well.

Here is a GTX 780 for $660 that would work great for your application: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CUIVSNS/?tag=pcpapi-20

Making those changes would still leave you with a very fast computer but will save you $1070 to bring your costs down to $3811. Hey, that's under your budget!

If you decide to move forward with this build I would suggest going to the Supermicro website and downloading the motherboard manual. Read all about what happens when you run one CPU on this motherboard. (Some of the PCI-E slots are turned off.) Make sure that all the components you buy are compatible with this motherboard. I'm pretty sure they are, but it is for you to double check me. This is a very common workstation motherboard that is used in many applications from CAD, Video Editing and Number Crunching applications. Here's the link: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DAE.cfm

You can absolutely get a better deal on compatible RAM than buying it from Newegg, look around. Just make sure you use ECC Registered RAM.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

And hey, thanks for the gold!

I didn't check the qvl list of the mobo because I just picked one that should work fine without a bios update at a price point another could match.

This is obviously under budget and you could improve things you wanted... but I would say clarify your changes if you thought going prebuilt was a better option.

This is the 80 dollar graphics card in the other commentators suggestion... getting it still has you under budget from his "cheap" prebuilt which I assume doesn't include tax? (which isn't needed for this build because the processor is an APU that has fantastic integrated graphics)

I will assume someone will say get a bigger power supply... but you don't need it. Minimum for a 1060 6gb is still 400 so this should be good to just upgrade to a decent gpu when your friend has money.

Also someone might say the dell has windows, but this is at least 60 or likely more dollars cheaper (even if you do add a 1030 and sub in a 1600) that you can put toward windows later if you want it... or just not. I have made 4 pcs that use the unactivated (not illegal!) win 10 pro.


random comparison video GT 1030 (G4560) vs Vega 11 (Ryzen 5 2400G) Comparison in 12 Games GPU vs APU Or google... there are tons. It is important to note the RAM speed. I parted out 3000mhz, which should be good to go. Also there are fps discrepancies due to the resolution differences in some videos. FPS is increased extremely when on 900p or similar which works on some games.

Building this gets you a could good CPU that acts as a playable GPU, saves money from the total build budget, and allows the computer to be used NOW and then save for a real GPU in a much shorter time.

The CPU is good enough for the game you will be playing, the motherboard is good enough and more expensive ones sell you feature you don't need. The RAM will do you fine and is enough for any game you want and the GPU will be perfect for 1080p with 3GB of VRAM. For storage, go with a cheap 500GB HDD but I would certainly recommend an SSD for the future. The power supply will do you fine no matter what anyone else says, trust me (powers my R9 280X which is a LOT more power hungry).
I would recommend looking round Ebay, Facebook selling sites etc etc for any used components or 'starting points' with Ebay being the best bet in my opinion due to the massive amounts of sellers. If you see a 6600 or a 6600k for the same or less than on Amazon, snag it up and make sure to have a CPU cooler with it (stock will do you again, I have experience with 6600/6500 running on stock coolers and it's perfectly fine)

Sorry if the response looks rushed, I had a better one but I clicked something and it deleted :'(
Would love to hear about how the build goes, may your frames be high and temperatures at a low enough level!

EDIT BEFORE POSTING : 'Bomba' recommended an 8GB RX 470 - that's pointless for 1080p in my opinion and having a Pentium Dual core isn't something anyone would crave. I also have bad experience with Corsair PSUs but I haven't tried the 450W.

For $2,000, you can score a pretty excellent VR dev rig.

If you're already using UE4, and you've got got your DK1, you're probably relatively familiar with the basic demands— The faster your CPU, the faster everything compiles, and more ability you have to get things done simultaneously outside your IDE. RAM is a similar story, as well letting you play with more polys and textures in whatever modeling program you use. For the GPU, various Oculus people have dropped the hint that you pretty much want a GTX 770 as a baseline for advanced apps [source]. That's consistent with what benchmarks have had to say about what it'll take to drive the (probably) 1440p CV1.

With regards to the OS, there are very few reasons to use Windows 7. You can read some reddit discussions about that here or here, but the moral of the story is that everything works better on 8 except maybe the layout, which you can change.

$2,000 is a good spot— it's pretty much where the bang-for-buck curve becomes a cliff. Here's about how that build looks:

This leaves you with wiggle-room, to make a couple decisions based on your uses and preferences. You could bump one of the monitors up to 27" 1440p, you could bump the very capable GTX 780 up to a 780 Ti, you could move up to 32GB of RAM, increase the size of the SSD, or just pocket the change. It really depends on what apps you're trying to produce, and what your workflow looks like— if it were me, I'd lean towards the 1440p screen, just for workflow reasons.

If you have any questions (or anything to teach me), let me know!

So basically, The MB and CPU I have are bottom line and to upgrade would to swap everything and start fresh? I cant keep this MOBO at all?
If thats the case, What parts can I look into that are comparable to high end that wont completely break me?(even if I have to buy in pieces) Im sure that Ryzen 5 is great, but there is better for a decent price, no?

And tell me about it. I started to figure that out when I asked for help. The kid is smart and has a killer rig, but apparently he likes to give me the run around. He recommended [this] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-04G-P4-6253-KR/dp/B01MF7EQJZ), going on to say that he runs a [GTX 1060] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-03G-P4-6160-KR/dp/B01KUADE3O/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1536664980&sr=1-2&refinements=p_89%3AEVGA%2Cp_36%3A1253506011) in his and that I should spring for that if I have the extra cash.
I dont know any more. Those are both in my price range, but I cant help but feeling like there is better for the same price, like [this one for example] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KMVHB6M/ref=psdc_284822_t1_B01KUADE3O). What would you personally recommend on this? I just dont know much about building yet, and I cant trust me self to make a good decision when it comes to these things, which is why I posted in the first place. I feel so cheated.

I appreciate all the advice and info. I get the feeling you arent going to give the run around so any personal recommendation are great. You have been awesome. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply!

I read some threads comparing the 1600 to the 7600k and I think I agree on the 1600 being a good choice. Looks like the Ryzen platform will be strong for the future and the 6 cores may prove to be a bonus as games start being designed to use more of them.

If you're able to, can you ELI5 the difference between those two motherboards? The one you suggested has better reviews and is 40% cheaper. Mobos are like black boxes to me so I'm just trying to gain a better understanding here.

That GPU looks pretty good but it seems some people have had issues with it. What are your thoughts on something like this? My current GPU is an EVGA 750 ti which has served me well -- starting to show its age, but I bought it a few years ago as a value card anyway.

Side note: I didn't realize until just now that for being 7 years old, the CPU in my current PC is pretty darn good -- i7-860 @ 3.2 GHz. I guess it figures, since my sysadmin brother configured it for me. Could probably sell it and the 750 ti for a decent return.

u/xDreamzZx · 1 pointr/buildapc

The link to card 3 is broken, it's the same as card 1...

Card 3.5 is the same as card 2 (look at the serial number: 01G-P4-2757-KR).

  1. Card 1 should be the "worst". Its base clock is 1020 MHz and boost is 1085 MHz against card 2's 1229 MHz and 1320 MHz for boost. The $10 is justified. Also card 1 is a small card while card 2 is full size.

  2. If everything is the same you might consider the 1 GB unless 2 GB is needed. Which I have no idea about, but your old card is 1 GB, so it might be enough. So, if you don't think you need 2 GB you can get either Card 2 or 3.5 as they are the same :)

  3. For a little more money you might consider the GTX 750Ti instead. This one is from Asus (the cheapest on Amazon atm) which is a fine brand for GPUs. Or the R9 270 which is $7 over the 750Ti. See the comparison. The R9 270 outperforms the 750Ti in almost every aspect. If you can go a bit higher ($180) there's a great sale on the R9 270X right now. That's even better, but a lot more expensive though great discount. The 270X is probably not the best idea, as it performs only slightly better than the 270.

    Feel free to ask more questions:)

tl;dr: is the premium price of the GTX 1060 6gb worth it over the GTX 1060 3gb?


edited for clarity

i built a pc last march on a z170 motherboard and an i5 6600k, but i recycled my video card from my previous build. it is a 2gb radeon 7870 that i bought back in april of 2013, so... pretty ready for an upgrade? the primary reason that i'm looking to upgrade is that i'm finally pulling the trigger in water cooling and i want a card that i can find a water block for. EKWB offered one for my current card but they no longer do.

i think i have decided on the GTX 1060 either in the 3gb version (currently $200) or the 6gb version (currently $260). I'd like to keep it under $250 but if i'm really going to see a big enough performance benefit with 6gb over 3gb i'll adjust the 'budget' upwards by $10.

these days i am primarily concerned with pushing multiple monitors, and i play both WoW and FFXIV. the card is still doing me pretty good, so if there's a good reason to hold off for awhile, i could just shelf the idea.

u/RelativelyCoolBeans · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Okay, it's not in bad shape.
The CPU should be fine with ample cooling. Whatever you have now will probably still be fine.
An Rx580 will work well with that CPU, [here's] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeFkTfif56c) a video of someone playing lowest settings in BF1 at 1080p and getting 120+fps.
Also, another thing to consider is getting a GTX 1060. For the most part, the Rx580 and the GTX 1060 are pretty similar spec-wise, but the 1060 is pretty significantly cheaper. [Here's] (https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ref=sr_1_15?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1510621572&sr=1-15&keywords=rx+580) a good one to consider.
But, you have to consider your PSU. You have to look at the side of the unit itself and look for a 3 digit number with a 'W' at the end. That will be the wattage it can handle, and will help you tell if you need a beefier one.
If you believe your HDD is about to go, you might as well pick up a new one. Look for a 1tb (if that's big enough for you) 7200rpm 3.5in. Those only run for about $50. Now, altogether you'd be looking at about $275 for more storage and a brand new card compared to what your friend was offering.
One last thing to ask of you. Do you have any idea how much RAM there is? If not, look inside the case and look on the side of the RAM for a number with MB at the end. That will tell you how much you have.
That's all you need to know, then plug all your parts into a pcpartpicker.com list and it will give you and estimated wattage.
Sorry this is really long, hope it helps though!

u/kratering · 2 pointsr/Kubuntu

Reason I ask is that I looked at the comparisons and the 1080 seemed comparable but the 1080 has just a little better performance.

BTW - I always like to buy my Video Cards on Amazon with Prime Shipping. If there is a problem with compatibility, it's an easy return. New Egg charges restocking fees and you have to pay freight back.


This one is $500.00
MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1080-GAMING-8G/dp/B01GLYD7MG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1536212774&sr=8-1&keywords=msi%2Bgtx%2B1080%2Bduke&dpID=51Avu5iodlL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

​

If you paid around $450.00 then you did good. At same price I'd go with the Nvidia over the AMD.

I Have a MSI Gtx 1080 Duke and am very happy with it. MSI has a 3 year from date of manufacture warranty too.

I do wish you the best of luck with the AMD. Just my experience with Linux is that you never want to buy the newest technology, it takes awhile for the right drivers to filter down to Linux.

u/BenderRodriguez14 · 2 pointsr/buildmeapc

HOLD ON!!! I missed the GTX 970, you prob don't need to upgrade anything at all bar maybe the RAM. As is you should be able to just about clear 100fps on highest settings in Overwatch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6s41VuUbio

---

Pop a 1060 6GB in that (Amazon have one from Zotac at £239 which is an excellent price right now, it's due for release August 7th so best to pre-order now because it'll be snapped up very quick in my opinion) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01IA9FEOO/?tag=pcp0f-21

You could also get a 1070 though they're all £400+ with a lot of websites saying 'due for release soon' (August where specified). A bit overkill possibly but it allows you to stagger the upgrades which is always nice (e.g. when you need to upgrade the CPU, Ram and mobo in 2-3 years the 1070 will still be a beast at 1080p and won't need it, allowing you to get something more high end). Unless you see one closer to the £350 mark though I think that 1060 6GB is the best value for you. EDIT: Actually, found one at £369, well worth considering - https://www.unatechnology.co.uk/shop/components-storage/components-storage-graphics-multimedia-io/components-storage-graphics-multimedia-io-graphics-cards/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1070-mini-itx-oc/

Also I'm not too knowledgable on RAM but that seems really low frequency - you might be as well to dump it or see if you can get a few quid selling and picking up this, 16GB of 1600mhz will do well and £80 is a really good price (will take a few weeks, but what you have will probably suffice in the meantime) - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B010FUN5AQ/?tag=pcp0f-21

Everything else is good for now, even on the 1060 6GB you'll be clearing 120fps+ on ultra or 100+ on 'epic' settings - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jqBtshCx8E

u/some_random_kaluna · 0 pointsr/lowendgaming

I recommend the EVGA-brand 750 TI GTX card.

You've already upgraded your power supply a bit, but that particular card will run on a minimum 300-watt power supply, and it's a pretty good plug and play option. Also it's $110 or so on Amazon.

Or spend thirty bucks more and get the GTX 950, which has been doing everyone well for years.

But it's your call. Either way will do you very well. Congrats. :)

u/fleetfonzies · 1 pointr/buildapc

So I think I've settled on a GTX 950 for my PC. I still want to measure the inside of the machine and double check compatibility to be sure but I think it's going to work out.

I've got a couple more questions:

  • I'm thinking about buying this one as it's pretty inexpensive and looks compact. I noticed there are other versions that have two fans, like this. What's the difference between the two models? Would it be worth it to spend the extra cash on the second GPU instead?

  • I'm also considering the MSI GTX 950 because it comes the Afterburner software--not something I need, but I would definitely use it if I had it. Would anyone recommend this card over the EVGA, or are they comparable in performance?

  • Most importantly, I know the new 1070 should be coming out soon. If I wait until after that's released to buy a new GPU, could I expect the price of the GTX 950 to drop?

    Thanks for your help everyone!
u/ReachTheSky · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

I don't think this is possible. Half of your $400 budget will be consumed by the monitor and copy of Windows and it's not possible to build a gaming system for just $200. If we were to leave out the OS (Windows 10 can be used without being activated, but it's annoying as hell), it's still not feasible to build something for $300.

There is a better alternative that I suggest to people who are on a strict budget. Start looking around for used Dell Optiplex machines with Core i5/i7 processors. Companies are regularly throwing these out. You can usually find them on eBay, Craigslist or local computer recycling centers/parts stores for super cheap. Something like this, for example. If you're buying locally, then you can easily get it for $50-70 or maybe even less. It's easy to negotiate for these since peeps want them gone ASAP. Once you've got one, put a gaming GPU in it, like the GTX 1050 Ti and there you have it - an awesome gaming system.

u/dofboke · 1 pointr/hardwareswap

you do realize that's not a half height card, and the OP specifically requested a half-height card, right?

There's a reason why I paid $200 for this card used and there's a reason why you had to link to a non-half-height card to find one new. So please. Find me a half-height 1050ti for $180 new. Please. I'm begging you.

EDIT: I'll even save you the usual google-fu.

Maybe better luck with gigabyte?

Newegg, behind door #3!

ok I'll actually give you that much since this link is $200 new... but a crappier card

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, EVEN ALIEXPRESS LET YOU DOWN?!

So what have we learned today class? Well prices are definitely coming down from two weeks ago when I bought my card, but u/uke1959 needs to learn how to price police correctly. Carry on...

u/Marrow14 · 2 pointsr/buildapc
  1. Cooling is never a bad thing to include in a build, your CPU will not fry without one, but I would recommend purchasing one. The cooler you listed is compatible with AM3+ sockets.


  2. PSUs aren't too expensive. If you wish to upgrade in the future you could just get a new PSU with the upgrade. Your electric bill won't go up because of the amount of wattage your PSU supports (only what your computer draws for wattage).


  3. The difference between companies is how the GPU is manufactured (could be the amount of fans, clock speeds, dimensions of the card, etc.). The big difference is performance, the EVGA card has a faster core clock at 1152 Mhz and the Zotac has a core clock of 1089 Mhz. I'd recommend this model of the 950, though (more fans and a higher clock speed) https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Cooling-Graphics-02G-P4-2951-KR/dp/B013WQCC8Q.

    Note: if your budget is tight, don't be afraid to lose a little bit of performance by purchasing the Zotac brand GPU. I would recommend the higher quality card, but at the end of the day they are both GTX 950s.


  4. Here's a nice mid tower case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146189&cm_re=nzxt-_-11-146-189-_-Product.

    Also, another recommendation for a monitor https://www.amazon.com/AOC-I2267FW-22-Inch-Frameless-Brightness/dp/B00CLZ047Q/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465717255&sr=1-8&keywords=monitors (I personally enjoy monitors with a thin bezel).


    Note: Sorry if I left any needed info, feel free to ask if you need more in-depth answers.
u/martindm03 · 3 pointsr/buildapc

This is a Pentium 4 running @ 2.8 GHz, which is a single core CPU on the lga 775 socket. You could get a core 2 quad q6600, they are usually anywhere from $8-$15, which is a quad core cpu on the lga 775 socket @ 2.4 GHz, and with the 4 cores vs 1, it will signinficantly increase performance. Another upgrade of course would be more RAM, most likely with the older platform it will be DDR2 memory, possibly even DDR. A cheap graphics card as well, will really give you some better peformance as it appears this computer doesn't even have one. I recommend a GT 1030 which is a great little card for only $70, and will be perfect for streaming video, and will even play some games as well. Lastly, reformat and get a fresh install of windows on there after the upgrades, as since your little brother has been using it (I'm assuming he's a pretty young kid) there will probably be a ton of malware on there from general internet use, which will always effect your performance.

fuck - I typed out a good long reply to you and hit my browser back button and lost it. here we go typing it up again..


As far as the cases, I am looking to keep it relatively cheap. I found this but I also like this. I like them as they'll 'show off' the white finish on that motherboard I'm eyeing. Do you have any other suggestions in that price range?

I'll take your suggestion and leave out the audio card. This is a high(er) quality MOBO if I do go for it so it should be sufficient.

As far as the GPU - am I missing something with this product? This is a great price for a 950 (isn't it!?) and would totally go for this as opposed to the cheaper cards my coworker is offering. This would operate better than those, right?

I am really hoping for some good suggestions here. Money isn't an unlimited factor - and this is absolutely a want over a need, but I definitely want to do this, but do it right and not put hard worked money to waste.

The GPU and CPU pairing seems fine to me for now. Make sure to overclock your ryzen, its very easy and definitely worth looking into. Upgrade to at least a 1060 3gb. The 760 seems to be OK for 1080p, but I honestly can't recommend it or anything lower than a 1050Ti 4gb for 1080p 60hz. I would say your upgrade path could go as follows in order of first to last purchase:

1080P

u/similar_observation · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

GTX 1060, 6GB is in your budget. This GPU is already almost twice the capacity if your GTX 970(3.5GB)

Though GTX 1070 (8GB)'s can periodically be found on sale for low $400's. You don't need a GTX 1080+ to enjoy AAA title games (or even VR) nowadays.

I have many friends enjoying big games on their GTX 1060 comfortably.

Edited!

More 1060's here, sorted by clock speed. All of them under $300. EVGA is a very reputable brand, and almost unanimously praised for good products and excellent customer support.

u/Mr_Calvy · 1 pointr/Twitch

CPU & GPU are the most important when it comes to games/streaming.

When you open a game, windows allocates it a fixed percentage of the RAM and it doesn't move much, as long as you're not at 80% memory usage while streaming you should be fine.

Some games are heavier on CPU than GPU, H1z1 being one of them. An i7 is obviously one of the best chips out there and will easily handle 720p/60fps broadcasting, a better graphics card will allow higher graphics settings while maintaining the frame-rate.
I'd say a minimum of 8GB of RAM, also a 960 OC is a great entry-level card however I'd recommend going for a 780 which matches your CPU performance better.

besides anti-aliasing, distance scaling etc as these interact with the CPU more

u/Jawadd12 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Just bought a 4K TV, GTX 970 can't handle all games in 4K. Decided to return it for refund (is the deal still on the table?) and upgrade to a GTX 1080.

Anyway, when is the perfect time to return so that I can have money by Cyber Monday or Black Friday? Also, do I have to adjust my PC to a certain setting to use the integrated Intel graphic card?

Also, what is the difference between the gajillion types of GTX 1080s? eg this¹, this², and this³.

Finally, is Zotac good? Or is it better to spend a bit more for the more popular brands? Good?. What about this?

  1. When's the best time to return so that I'd have the money by Cyber Monday?
  2. How can I switch to Intel graphics so that I can use the PC without any graphic card?
  3. What's the difference between the aforementioned types of GPUs?
  4. Can you recommend Zotac?

    Edit: Here's my build. Is there any particular GPU you can recommend based on it? Any notes on the upgrade?

u/Armageddonx911 · 3 pointsr/blackdesertonline

Yes definitely , also to give you a heads up you will probably need a new motherboard as well. When you decide to purchase the CPU, as your CPU is a LGA 1150 socket while you're looking to upgrade to a 1151 socket which requires a new motherboard, as well as DDR4 ram instead of DDR3.

Good luck with the purchase, and have a look at my thread to help you maximize your FPS once you get your new GPU.

u/RecalcitrantBeagle · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Actually pretty doable, people do it pretty frequently - what you need is a low-profile graphics card that only uses PCIe power, as the PSUs that the optiplex comes with don't support external power connections. So, you're probably going to be looking for a 1050Ti (or a 1650, but it's harder to find low-profile versions) specifically a model that doesn't need external power, like this one. Add that in, and you're good to go.

It won't be amazing, but it should suffice for playing most modern titles - if you turn down settings, you should be able to squeeze out 60fps. - this is actually a common build for basic VR setups for people who want to play simple games like Beat Saber as well.


Also, this is all predicated on you having the more common SFF Optiplex, which are the flat and narrow versions - if you have a mini-tower Optiplex, your options open up quite a bit, as you can replace the power supply to accommodate something like an RX570, which is cheaper but much stronger than a 1050Ti.

Yeah. That MIR would be an issue. You could always do this: ZOTAC GeForce 1060 6GB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IA9FEOO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cqKnybZEZGSEP

It doesn't have has good of a boost clock but it still would be a great card for games. I'm rocking the EVGA 3GB 1060. Loving it but REALLY want the 6GB one :)

u/RageMuffin69 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thank you! So I'm not good with understanding requirements for PC components but I'm assuming for a GPU the only thing that I would need is for it to be PCIE x16 compatible and whatever recommended PSU wattage. Is that correct? I've been looking around for any video card that matches those 2 criteria and there's actually a ton of options ranging from 50$ to 200$ even when looking at the ones under 100$.

​

For example there's this Gigabyte GT 1030 and this ASUS GT 710. The major difference I see in the Gigabyte card is that it supports overclocking and has a bit higher memory speed. So if I don't care about overclocking then the ASUS card would be better for me correct? Also would a 4gb DDR3 card be better than a 2gb DDR5? I'm not sure how much better DDR3/4/5 are compared to the amount of memory in the card being 1, 2, or 4 gb.

​

Should I keep my focus more on the card being a DDR5 and having good memory speed? Apologies for so many questions.

Ok, I went almost $30 over the maximum, but IMO this is the best you can get at this range. I included the 6600K since it's such a good value when comparing it to all the other models and the features they come with while addressing your uncertainty on whether or not to overclock; I'm giving you the option.

The motherboard supports up to 2-way Crossfire for adding a second one later on but no SLI support I'm afraid, for some reason it comes with a hefty price premium, same goes for G-Sync panels.

You can remove the CD drive if you already have another one or search for another Windows 10 installation in USB 3.0 form, though it ends up being more expensive.

The monitor has DisplayPort input for 1080p144Hz and FreeSync (which is basically G-Sync but for AMD GPUs), which eliminates tearing in games.

One more thing: I can't recommend any Nvidia GPU at the moment, they are way out of this build's budget and the prices are ridiculously inflated for both the GTX 1080/1070 and any version (example1, example2, the customer reviews also reflect the current situation), I can't say why but maybe it's because of very high demand/little supply or basically no competition at that price point.

Besides, the RX 480 will come out on June 29th, bringing near-GTX 980 performance and by then the prices will hopefully be on par with what I put here for the 8GB model (to eliminate any future issues that the 4GB version might have).

I really like my Asus Strix OC but I've heard good things about the Gigabyte and Gigabyte xtreme gaming

Performance won't be that much different, just go with what has good reviews, good cooling and a good warranty. Also considering your preference in looks and price.

Edit: Getting and SSD is definitely worth it for boot times alone. You can get a 120gb which is more than enough for your OS for cheap. There was a 32gb on Newegg for $20 last week, which I believe is big enough for windows but I'm not 100% sure.

u/CaptainDboeJames · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm looking to upgrade my monitor. I have an EVGA GTX 780 SC. My main question is does this card support G-sync? I see the gtx 780 on the list of cards that do support g-sync, does that mean ALL 780s? I purchased my card on Amazon in early July 2013, and there is no reference to G-sync on the box, like there was on my girlfriends gtx 970. I just wanted to make sure that Nvidia didn't start releasing G-sync versions after I bought my card.

Additionally, will this card even run a 1440p g-sync monitor very well by itself? just planning on a single monitor with games like Rome 2, Elder Scrolls Online, and soon GTAV.

If anyone has any suggestions on a 27 inch monitor that could run well with my card, I'd appreciate some help choosing a monitor as well.

Thank you

u/NewToTheRedClub · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yes it will fit! But why not go for the 2gb version and save some cash like this? Or you could spend an extra 30 bucks and get a gtx 770 for higher performance boost!

Edit: Unless you have a 1440p monitor or higher, or you're gaming on multiple monitors, get the 4 gb version, otherwise just save the cash and get the 2 gb version. Hope I helped! Also this thread talks about the gtx 760 4gb version!

u/dariusz2k · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

The 750TI is a lower power card so you should be okay with most PSU's at about 300W. It doesn't need a 6 pin connector either and can run off the PCI slot power. It actually is a pretty decent card. I have it and can run CS:GO at 60+FPS at full high settings with AA on. It also runs LoL, HoTS and Rocket League at full settings 60FPS. I've heard it can run Fallout 4 on high at about 45 fps as well. Give me a second to look up your power supply and see your wattage.



So your PSU is 300W, but you should be okay I'll check your estimated voltage.


Yeah you've got more than enough wiggle room to support a 750TI. You have a 65W Processor which is great for your low end PSU. At full usage you'll be sitting at about 241W. Just be careful not to buy an 750TI that requires a 6 pin connector.



So for example,


This doesn't need a 6 pin connector.


This does need a 6 pin connector.


Granted if you buy one that does need a 6 pin you'll just need to get a converter cable to change your 4 pins into 6 pins.

What I've done is mainly chosen a cheaper and bigger ssd, an rx480 that is on sale right now, and a freesync monitor to go with the rx480. The monitor is from jet.com with promo code triple15 to get to the price on $110. This is the deal on the rx480 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KIZUF7Y/ref=cm_sw_su_dp . Amazing price, but what's even more amazing? This $20 rebate! https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/00/01/04/68/30/01/10468300130._CB527083017_.pdf

I'd like to petition for a new GPU. This GTX 1080 should do nicely. $644.99 with free shipping if you have Amazon Prime ;) Thanks and good luck with your future stock purchases!

u/Cryxus92 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If I were you, I'd get a gtx 1050ti. Nice thing about this card is they only use 75w of power, and can be ran on low end power supplies like the one in the prebuilt HP you own. Make sure you get one that doesn't need an external 6pin pcie power supply cable to run. That graphics card will be able to play most games at medium-high settings at 1080p/60fps. You already have a very good cpu and 16gb of ram, so this gpu will be an easy upgrade and be able to play any modern game you'd like for $140.

I'd recommend this card. It will plug right in to your motherboard, doesn't require any additional power cables, and is $135 on Amazon.com right now.

Two choices for fan types, blower style like this:


https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Founders-Graphics-08G-P4-6180-KR/dp/B01FWI6F08



and double/triple fan designs like this:


https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GAMING-Support-08G-P4-5173-KR/dp/B01KVZBNY0/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=RGJTQJW5GJ7CARMZ911Q



Blower style is "reference" / factory, they run hotter and louder compared to their open air / "aftermarket" (the double fan) design. The aftermarkets are made by Add In Board partners like EVGA, MSI, etc.



OC is just the clock speed that the card is promised to hit. It's the same for CPUs, no one knows how far a component can go. There's also thermals to consider, but generally, all components can OC a little.



Other considerations would be fan bearings / warranty / return process / customer support / build quality. EVGA and Sapphire are the best.


And cost :D

u/LoneKrafayis · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

I think that when you get under $500, you are best off buying a used PC and adding a graphics card. You can buy a $0-300 refurbished quad core i5 or i7. Then add a mid range graphics card. It is also nice to add a solid-state disk (SSD), and re-install the operating system to the SSD.

If the power supply can move the additional 150 Watts, the RX470 with a blower-style cooler would be the best choice. The Sapphire Radeon RX 470 4GB is a well-built example of a RX470 with a blower-style cooler. If only 75 Watts is available, and/or space is limited, It would be best to get the MSI GTX 1050 Ti LP.

This was selling for 7,900 two days back.

If you decide to go for 1070, then I highly recommend you get at least a 3000MHz RAM. Ryzen with VC higher than 1060 loves faster RAM and gives slightly more FPS. If you prefer to go along with 1060, then 2666 will be fine. I didn't check the compatibility with the mobo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4k_ErEg-FU

Prices will be somewhat cheaper in Nehru Place.

Another piece of advice: Don't spend a lot on Case. It is just for looks. You can buy Deepcool Tesseract SW or other good cases for around 3-5K. You can also buy a decent CPU Cooler with the balance. As for the monitor, my previous comment will suffice, I guess. :)

Good Luck, and keep notifying.

If you feel confused, do ask.

u/lesziii · 0 pointsr/graphicscard

Personally I'd say you could do a bit to really improve your overall performance.Don't go with a GT 1030, you've got better options in that SFF category, this being the one I'd suggest.https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-1050-TI-4GT/dp/B01N2W8MJ9

You could go with the GT 1030 if you'd like, the only downside I can really see is that there isn't much in the way of upgrading the CPU so do what feels right.


Edit: As to if it will fit, yes. Both GPUs, the one I recommended and the 1030 should fit in without problem.

u/polezo · 1 pointr/Vive

I have a very tiny case (Elite 110) for my main gaming PC that can only take in a card 8 inches or less. Currently rocking the adorable little mini 970 from Gigabyte. I'm super interested to see if anyone makes small versions of the 1080 given it's low power draw. I'm sure it will happen to the 1070 but I'd be more interested in a bigger upgrade. Then I'd move my 970 down to my dev box. Come on OEM's! Give some SFF love to us.

Wooooo, that looks pretty much like my PC. You'll be able to play pretty much any current game on very high/max settings, its kind of overkill to get the most out of Overwatch(it's not a super-demanding game) You can definitely get the monitor keyboard and mouse for cheaper, ZOTAC has a good 1070 for cheaper on amazon

u/PM_me_ur_surf_rack · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Ayyy, puns always make everything better!

Well the 2x16 is only thirty bucks more expensive, are there any pros to getting this instead of 4x8?

Awesome, I'm glad to hear that! I found the GTX 1080 card on amazon. Everything seems legit about, I just wanted to get a second opinion about if I should trust buying this, even if it is off amazon. I don't want to get duped.

u/looncraz · 1 pointr/Amd

I'm missing nothing. Actual measured from the wall consumption is HIGHER than TDP for AMD. The video showed 455W for the delta over idle. Some of that could be CPU - maybe 50~65W or so, but most would be the GPU.

To be a valid product it needs to be competitive in its market. Vega FE, against Titan Xp, has a niche where it is competitive - even at $1,000. That same level of performance, however, as a gaming card, can be had for $540 on Amazon with a consumption of ~200W or less.

RX Vega needs a 20% boost in performance or better WITHOUT using more power to be viable at the same price. Otherwise it will need to be considerably cheaper than the GTX 1080.

u/Year2525 · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

The Tomahawk costs $100 (after rebate) in micro center, but the bundle price with CPU lowers the price by $50. But, the bundle iself with this specific motherboard and CPU is not listed on the site (this mobo + Ryzen 7 1700 is, or Ryzen 5 1600 with other B350 mobos)
So it may be safer to go with the Asus PRIME B350-PLUS AM4 ATX, Gygabite GA-AB350-Gaming AM4 ATX or GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AM4 ATX which all have $250 bundle prices listed on microcenter webiste.

For the video card, that's true, the GTX 1060 3GB can be had for $228 new and is a bit better than the 970 (I had to go look at benchmarks again, I thought the 970 did better, but I was wrong).

u/ImBetterAtLifeThanU · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks! So you'd recommend this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KUADE3O/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_TwWxybPJN98BZ

Is that $50 better than the Gtx 1050 Ti I mentioned in the OP? Also any insight on the port question I had in the OP too?

Thanks for your help!

u/digisax · 2 pointsr/buildapc

An 8600k is a great choice and it'd save you $110 so you could upgrade to a 1070ti (link) or 1080 (link) to get better gaming performance.

The k chips don't come with stock coolers anymore, and the stock coolers wouldn't be adequate anyway. Since you don't plan to OC, a Cryorig H7 (link) would fit the bill too keep it cool and quiet while still fitting in the same budget.

For the CPU, this is IN STORE ONLY at Micro Center. They seem to be out of stock at a lot of micro centers, in Marietta, GA they only have one in stock, the only one in GA which has it in stock. When you plan on going down there, definitely call the micro center to see if they can hold it for you or whatever. (Side story, my family lives down in GA and went there to build my grand dad's PC, and it's a nice microcenter with some nice staff). If you end up not being able to get it at microcenter, get it over at B&H, for $64. Heres the Micro Center Link: http://www.microcenter.com/product/477030/G4560_350GHz_Kaby_Lake

For the HDD, this looks like a micro center sale, but it is purchaseable online if you want to get it now. Other than that, most 1TB drives only cost $5 more, so I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to wait. Heres the link: http://www.microcenter.com/product/469983/Barracuda_1TB_35_Hard_Drive_-_OEM

Using this image as reference, the first two cases will require a half width GPU. Any low profile GPU will work (the best LP GPU is the MSI GTX 1050Ti. As for the last case, you can fit any width GPU.

The issue is the best CPU the Dell Optiplex 390 comes with is an i5-2400 and 4GB of RAM. DDR3 is not really worth sinking money into unless you can get it for free.

u/DarthRagnarok · 5 pointsr/pcgaming

I don't really advocate SLI setups due to some games having problems with dual cards. I don't think it's worth the hassle and i'd recommend getting a single card in most cases. This one isn't $100 exactly but it's a really good deal: https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-1050-Graphic-GV-N105TD5-4GD/dp/B01M4KGTNI/ref=zg_bs_284822_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=A56TD5HK2P0ABN1PB3JX

u/DoctorWSG · 5 pointsr/buildapc
Definitely! Personally, I wouldn't bother buying a cooler. The i3-6100 is a very cool chip unless you are planning on overclocking it using BCLK, which I wouldn't recommend to be honest. It's a lot of work for not a lot of gain, and you would be better off putting the money towards the i5-6400 by dropping the Z170 motherboard. In addition to that, you could also get an RX480, and follow-up with the $20 rebate and the build below would be about as much as the build you have listed.

Replaced the monitor below with one that has an IPS for much less money, a PSU that has a better rep than Rosewill, an SSD for your operating system because an HDD and extra storage can always be added later, and I recommend one day making that ram dual channel, because it does help a little bit in games, but I'm trying to stay in budget.

Overall, you should see some massive improvements in performance if you pick up the i5-6400/RX480 combo over the i3-6100/1050ti combo.

One could argue that your GPU is a little overboard for the monitor, as a 1070 should do pretty good at 1080p, even at 144hz, but if a 1080 is in the budget, then that's what you should get. I would however, avoid the "Founders edition" card in favor of a partner board with better cooling. That price is also not great. Check out this one, or this one and save yourself a little money and get a better card in the process.

Yes, G-Sync requires a Nvidia card. If you can't find 1080s on Amazon try using pcpartpicker.com. If you want to buy specifically from Amazon you can use the Merchants/Pricing filter to limit it to Amazon. It looks like the cheapest good 1080 (reputable manufacturer, good cooler) on amazon at this time is this Gigabyte one.

u/The_Real_Abhorash · 1 pointr/computers

So here's what I would recommend ditch your motherboard and CPU buy a Ryzen 5 2600x. For the motherboard get a ASRock Atx Motherboard B450 Pro4 its out of stock on amazon at the moment but it will be in stock again on the 24th you could also order it from newegg. Your current CPU cooler should have come with a AMD AM4 mount but if you don't have it the CPU does come with a decent cooler and you won't really need to overclock it so it should work fine, You could also buy a mounting kit for AMD CPU's from Corsair. Next on the list would be a video card otherwise the new CPU would be bottle necked so I think you should get a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1060 AMP Edition, New it costs $279.99 but you can buy a used one off amazon for $206.24 either way you should have some money left $606.59 if you go with new and $532.84 if you go with used. After that you'll want some new ram so I would recommend the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB(2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz, If you went with the new video card that will put you at $716.58 if you went with the used video card that will put you at $642.83. Just in case you don't know this your old ram won't work in a ddr4 slot so don't try and force it in. In any case if you went with the used video card or you don't mind spending a little over budget I would next get a ssd my recommendation would be the Intel SSD 760P Series 256GB M.2 80MM PCIe 3.0 X4 That with the used video card will bring the total up to $715.82 with the new video card it would be $789.57. Anyways I hope that helps a little bit.

Zotac sold most of their stock on Amazon for their 1050 ti mini. Gigabyte makes a similar one and they're still in good stock so the price is lower. Zotac's one was the price of the Gigabyte one last night when I posted. Check out this alternate if you want to save some moneys. Zotac and Gigabyte make really similar quality items, so just buy the better priced one.

I suggested two single fan 1050 ti cards because prebuilt cases have very spotty support for dual fan cards. You could measure the space in your case and buy one that is the right length, but going with a shorter one is the quick and easy way. 1050 ti is a really cool running card that doesn't require a dual fan cooler so it's not a big deal to just buy a highly compatible one.

Are you in the US?

If you are, that is not a good price.

GTX 980s go for ~$210-230 used IMO.

It's a decent performance increase (32%)

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-980-vs-AMD-RX-470/2576vs3640

However, for that cost you could get this:

Which gets you a 71% performance increase:

Either your friend is ignorant on component pricing or he's trying to take advantage of you. I bought a 1060 for ~$230 and sold it to my roommate for $160 after I got a great deal on a 980 ti (The upgraded version of the gpu he's selling you, which I got for $250), because I wanted to give my friend a deal.

u/David367th · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

I did manual searching through amazon and found a $640 EVGA GTX 1080 new but, I would still recommend a 2070 super or 2080 since they are roughly the same price for better performance.

I wanna get a 1070 and I'm thinking about getting the ASUS ROG STRIX

Do you know the answer to this question?

should just go ahead and get this ASUS 1070 IS THIS THE BEST ASUS one?

Yes, and the prices are higher than in the US..

For example, these very same GTX 750 Ti OC are at the local store a bit over $190 while on Amazon they are $150 and pretty much all the prices for the GTX series start at $170.

This is our best and biggest e-store, so i don't really have many options right now.

GTX 770 is a great GPU that can max out games at 1080p and get 60FPS+. However, this GPU is aimed for gamers that want to play at a higher resolution than 1080p. But If that is the highest resolution you'll be playing, save some money and get a GTX 760. It sill retains a high fps and plays very smoothly at 1080p. EVGA GTX 770 is only $347.99 but is on sale as it was originally $419.99. You would save $73 or 17% off the original price.

u/JonzieK · 1 pointr/buildapc

Your list pulls 286W, you don't even need 500W really, but go for this SeaSonic G 550W Gold instead, after the rebate its $3 more for better quality.

You can save some cash on the GPU by going for an RX 480 4GB at the moment there's a rebate available on amazon bringing the cost down to $180 if you're worried about the difference in performance here's a benchmark showing there's not much at all.

Rest looks good, but you can get the WiFi built into the motherboard to save yourself having the extra card on your board blocking your GPU's fans.

Edit: PCPP List with my suggestions.

u/kht120 · 2 pointsr/DIY

Post Fermi* NVIDIA cards. Starting with 6XX series, NVIDIA is really good efficiency wise. In fact, they make short GTX 970s because of how efficient and cool Maxwell is.

u/eternaforest · 1 pointr/Alienware

Personally, I prefer EVGA cards (PNY is a good brand too), but neither of those will work due to having the wrong fans on them. You want reference fans. Those open air fans will push the air into your case (reference will push it out) making your components hot.

IIRC the 1050/TI doesn't have a reference version, but this should work better in the x51's compact case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MEFABEL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yYLxzb3D55HYN

Technically that's the wrong fan too, but according to users here it works fine. I'd still monitor temps while playing intense games.

I'd actually recommend a 1060 (I'm personally looking to upgrade in the next year or so) but they're still stupidly expensive thanks to mining. Ugh.

Edit: I see your links are at Best Buy, see if they'll price match Amazon if you buy in-store. I've only ever price matched video games so idk how PC parts will work. Worth a shot though.

u/yaosio · 1 pointr/nvidia

I bought a 1060 on Tuesday and got it on Thursday from Amazon. I used the free prime trial to get free shipping. This is the one I bought. https://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-GeForce-Compact-Graphics-ZT-P10600A-10L/dp/B01IA9FEOO/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1478308491 The AMP version is factory overclocked.

Despite being half the size it's a full 1060. At first I thought it was a cut down version, but benchmarks show it gets the same performance as the stock version. http://www.computershopper.com/components/reviews/zotac-geforce-gtx-1060-mini-6gb

I thought maybe it has high heat. I had Skyrim Special Edition maxed out at 1920x1080 getting 60 FPS (locked framerate by the game) and MSI Afterburner showed it sitting between 40 C and 50 C. At idle it's currently 32 C, or 89 degrees in freedom units.

There is clicking at very particular RPMs, but only at low speeds, not sure what's up with that. I used MSI Afterburner's fan curve setter thingy so it won't go lower than 50% and there' no clicking but it's still very quiet. My case fans are louder than it, probably means I need quieter case fans. My old 280X was a vacuum cleaner in comparison!

u/rhiehn · 1 pointr/buildapc

A refurbished 970 is probably the cheapest reasonable choice.

For the gtx 980 ti, which will have the best performance of any of the suggestions(at least within your budget), you'll have to dig around on ebay or /r/hardwareswap to see if you can find one in your budget. Of course, if you can find a used 1070 or 1060 for a fair price while you look, those are also fine.

A 1050 ti would be the cheap option that could tide you over until a better one is affordable.

A 1060 6gb is about the only new card that can give you a reasonable level of performance within your budget, but I'd note that it normally costs under $250 and is currently inflated because of the ethereum mining craze, which will hopefully be temporary. It is only a slight improvement over the refurbished 970 that I linked earlier.

A 1080 is really outside of your budget, but if you're willing to go over your budget it outperforms all of the other cards by quite a lot, for maybe $100-150 more than a 980 ti.

Those are about all of the reasonable options within your budget as far as I know.

u/njayhuang · 10 pointsr/Unexpected

The 1080 is an expensive graphics card, like $700 expensive. The premise of the video is that he is somehow stuck inside some vertical silo while holding the card. Like a monkey who gets his hand trapped because he refuses to let go of the prize, the man is trapped and unable to climb out because he refuses to let go. He foolishly values the material object more than his own life. Then his friend says that he has just received a better graphics card, at which point he agrees to let go and walks up the wall thanks to sideways gravity. Turns out the camera is just turned sideways and he's lying down in a drain pipe. He's not actually stuck in a silo with a computer part, it's just a cool forced perspective optical illusion with a storyline that's a modern twist on an old tale. That's the joke.

u/Defender2142 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Well bear in mind I'm coming from a 770 2gb, and I quite like the 400$ asus turbo price point, but if you're saying that I could yield more frames then I definitely consider a better card.

It's either this:https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-STRIX-Graphic-STRIX-GTX1070-O8G-GAMING/dp/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469275612&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+1070

or this when they get back in stock: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814126112

Do you think the added performance is worth 100$ in your opinion?

u/Jeezor · 1 pointr/buildapc

that card should be fine, i just wanted to make sure it would fit cause some of those cards can get pretty big, the one i just bought is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IA9FEOO/?tag=pcpapi-20 but I have a miniATX build. if you enter your current build on pcpartpicker it should show you compatible power supplies, the best advice i have for those is make sure you get a big enough one and dont skimp out cause you can screw yourself

u/Kronos_Selai · 1 pointr/Amd

Don't bother crossfiring that thing, that'd be a waste of money. My suggestion would be to comb through the used GPU market first, but if nothing good shows up I found these two options in your price range.

http://www.amazon.in/STRIX-Radeon-Gaming-Graphics-STRIX-RX460-O4G-GAMING/dp/B01K1JVQI4/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1487944392&sr=1-4

I'd take the rx460 personally, but I also use Freesync. Both are great options, and will handle 1080p gaming better than your 7790. However, the leap would be much more profound if you got the rx470. If you can squeeze that into your budget, you'll be astounded by how fast it is for that price tag.

A good price for a premade should make you give up on trying to build your own once you look up the price for the card and CPU. You shouldn't be able to beat a premade by building your own much less by multiple hundreds of dollars. Only way buying this is worth it is if they give like a 10 year warranty.

u/ajc1239 · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme

Hello again! I'm home now so I can get you a bit more information.

[Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Geforce-Phoenix-Graphics-PH-GTX1050TI-4G-Graphic/dp/B01M360WG6/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483856782&sr=1-11&keywords=gtx+1050+ti) has the ASUS 1050 ti for $150, while the 1050 ti is slightly better in [just about every regard] (http://hwbench.com/vgas/geforce-gtx-1050-ti-vs-geforce-gtx-960) over the 960.

Or if you wanna meet your budget, go for a [1060] (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-03G-P4-6160-KR/dp/B01KUADE3O/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1483857004&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+1060) for $200, and [embarrass] (http://hwbench.com/vgas/geforce-gtx-1060-vs-geforce-gtx-960) the 960 in performance.

If you're concerned about reliability keep in mind that the reported issues with the 10 series cards has been no higher than with the previous generations. Spending the money on the right card today will pay off in the future as new software comes out that can utilize the newer hardware in your machine.

If you have any more questions feel free to ask, good luck with your purchase!

edit: To note, a higher end graphics card will more than likely be bottlenecked by the CPU you have depending on the software you're running. So you may not see the maximum performance until you upgrade that. Still a valid decision in my mind, as one day when you decide to upgrade your CPU you'll have a GPU that's ready for it. It's the right way to go if you're upgrading one part at a time as they age.

u/LunarD3ATH · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I mostly ask because for my budget build I was recommended an i3 and a GTX 950 SC. No knowing when I'll actually be able to buy parts, but I try to keep it updated for the best possible deal at the time.

With Christmas coming up, my grandmother is apparently going to be giving me cash to put towards my computer. I'm done pretending that it's all going to come together soon, but if it does, I want to be on top of things.

u/psimwork · 2 pointsr/buildapc

A GTX 750 Ti should do the job, but you might actually find a Low-profile 1050 Ti cheaper (unless you go used).

For reference, The Sims 4 recommends a GTX 650 for good performance. As you can see in this graph a GT 710 won't hold a candle to a GTX 650.

That said, a GT 1030 will do the job and is cheaper than either the 1050 Ti or a 750 Ti. Just make sure you get the GDDR5 version and not the DDR4 version (I linked the GDDR5 version).

u/mizor3 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Did you build your PC yourself or what? Top Tier graphic cards are around ~300€ and those are running all games on pretty much the highest settings. If you're talking about the Nvidia Titan X then yeah that costs over $900 but that's like the most powerful card we have around which you definitely won't need to play your games. Here for example the Nvidia Geforce 1060 a very decent card for only ~$200.
What build did you get ? I can't imagine spending more than $1000 and not have a top tier rig.

u/crazydave33 · 1 pointr/Doom

That's your problem. GTX 750 isn't powerful enough and doesn't meet the requirements. Here's a comparison

>DOOM System Requirements

>MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 7/8.1/10 (64-bit versions)
Processor: Intel Core i5-2400/AMD FX-8320 or better
Memory: 8 GB RAM

>Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 670 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or better

>Storage: 55 GB available space
Additional Notes: Requires Steam activation and broadband internet connection for Multiplayer and SnapMap

You have a 1GB VRAM graphics card. DOOM requires 2GB VRAM at a minimum. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but your card just can't run the game. You will have to look into getting an upgrade. Fortunately the new AMD RX 480 will be coming out soon and that will only cost $199 for the 4GB version which will be great. And it has low power requirements.

Alternatively if you want to get a card right now, I say the minimum should be a GTX 950. $140 on Amazon right now is a pretty good deal.

u/SamSafari · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

The 770 has pretty good performance for its price. I've been able to play Skyrim pretty well heavily modded on it.

u/morepandas · 1 pointr/buildapc

I think for you, the GTX 750ti is a good bet, or for a bit more the more modern GTX 950 will work too.

If you spend less than $100 on a gfx card your CPU's integrated graphics will likely be better.

If you aren't afraid of used graphics cards, a GTX 660ti is also fantastic and a better choice than the above.

u/Shitty_Paint_Artist · 1 pointr/computers

MMO's and Valve games tend to rely on the CPU so the 750 Ti would be a great choice. It's also super efficient so your power supply isn't even a problem there.

A lot of people are suggesting you build a pc, and I suggest you to build one too! My previous PC Build was good enough to run iRacing and, Including a BenQ monitor, cost around the £600 mark. I'll post my specs however some of the parts may be discontinued so I'll try and source similar components if they are.

Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P

AMD (Piledriver) FX-6300 3.50GHz

ASUS GTX 750Ti

Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB)

500W EVGA 80+ White Rated PSU

DVD Re-Writable(For Installing Windows)

1TB Seagate Barracuda Hard Drive

BitFenix Comrade Midi Tower


BenQ 22inch Monitor

Let me know if want any of the peripherals(Keyboard/Mouse etc) aswell

Total Cost = ~£543

You might be able to find components cheaper on different websites, especially American based ones(NewEgg).

As for assembly, I followed a tutorial from popular Battlefield YouTuber, JackFrags. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQxr59KRto He uses old components but the build is more or less the same than the specs above.

You also may want to upgrade the Graphics Card, RAM or CPU. I recently upgraded the 750Ti to a 1060 3GB, FX 6300 to a FX 8350 and RAM by an extra 8GB. Remember, if you do upgrade anything like this, you will most likely need a bigger PSU.

Have fun building :P

You definitely shouldn't get that specific video card. Here is a Zotac 1070 mini for over a $100 less. Another one.

Also, if you decide to build a PC with a 1070, I recommend a Ryzen 1600. It's a $180 cheaper than the 7700 and can be overclocked with its stock cooler. If you changed that build to have a Ryzen 1600, B350 motherboard, and the first 1070 I linked, it would cost less than $1300, which is a way better value than the prebuilt PCs you linked.

This isn't a laptop but I'm pretty sure my setup would be more then enough for all of the games you just listed. My PC, GPU, and Monitor all add up to about $500, and I just use an old keyboard and mouse I found at a garage sale. I know you asked for a laptop but if you want a $500 gaming setup to play those games then this is it.

Hey guys I currently have a GT 630 and am considering to upgrade the 1050 ti. I'm in Ecuador so my options are limited. I'm specifically looking at this card.

According to this comparison thing they don't seem to be that different? For gaming at least.

This are my specs using speccy.

What I'd mostly be playing:

  • Total War rome, shogun, and napoleon.
  • The witcher 1, 2, and 3.
  • CK2, and EU4.
  • Homeworld remastered.
  • Mount and Blade.

    Main question:

    My GT 630 I just plug it into my mobo and it works. Would this card be like that too? I've read that some cards require special connectors that I don't have and wouldn't know at all how to get in Ecuador. Help please! I really want to upgrade!

    In my budget (maybe) I'm also considering a Zotac GTX 1060 3GB version. It's $350 which is almost too painful for me but still doable. I'd rather stick with the 1050 ti I think. It only seems to run at 30 fps on the witcher 3 though. But I guess I'll have to settle? The asus strix 1050 ti 4GB retails at $275 if you're curious.

    Would the 1060 work if I just plug it into my mobo or would it require special cables?

    Buying online wouldn't really help. For instance the 1050 ti on Amazon here retails at $134 (oh my fuck!) but I have to pay almost $150 for shipping and custom taxes so it's not worth it at all. I know there are cheaper cards in other sites but I really wouldn't buy unless it Amazon.

    About power comsuption:

    I'm using an ITTEK psu. It's local I think? Pic here (bonus pic of my bb).

Ok, so all from Amazon, shipping to Australia. There are a few things that are more expensive, I will get those locally. I upgraded to an i5 6600k.

Type|Item|Price
----|:----|:----
CPU | Intel Core i5 6600K 3.50 GHz | $298.00
CPU Cooler|Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO |$38.88
Motherboard | ASRock Motherboard Micro ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 H110M-HDS | $64.00
Memory | Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory | $64.00
Storage | Sandisk SSD PLUS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive | $98.00
Storage | WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM | $68.00
Video Card | MSI GAMING Radeon RX 480 GDDR5 4GB | $272.00 (-$27 rebate)
Case | DeepCool TX Mid Tower TESSERACT SW | $61.00
Power Supply | EVGA 500 B1, 80+ BRONZE 500W | $66.72
|
| Total | $1029


Now, I have a few questions.

How will I know if the cooler is going to fit and not be in the way of anything?

I can't seem to find any small cases that have the features of the larger ones (vents, top and side fans). Should I just stay with a larger case?

I need an s/pdif optical for my speakers. Should I get a pcie card or external usb?

How will I know if the video card hangs over the spare pcie slot?

* WiFi - USB vs Pcie?
u/ThatUndeadLegacy · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

A vive with a 660? a 660 can barely run Witcher 3 on minimum. my vote goes to the msi one, never buy founders edition. i can recommend you spend a little extra and get https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1080-AERO/dp/B01GLYD7MG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474404998&sr=8-1&keywords=GTX%2B1080%2BAERO&th=1
As it's the card i have it's really the only thing i can actually recommend, yes i love it.

u/Popeychops · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you want a GTX 770, I would advise you to buy one from a manufacturer who includes a great air-cooler of their own design. I suspect you aren't going to need to water-cool yours, since you haven't planned how you'll do it. My personal recommendation is the EVGA SuperClocked which provides an incredible factory overclock (so you don't have to) along with an amazing air-cooler. Their warranty is the best in the business, too.

Here is a post on TechInferno about eGPUs. These guys are super helpful and have loads of tutorials. Still not a project for the faint of heart!

u/kronkifer · 2 pointsr/buildapc

If your budget allows it I'd say an rx 480. That monitor has freesync so ideally you'd want an AMD video card to take advantage of that. Amazon has the MSI Gaming X 480 4gb for $200 right now. The 8gb version would be nice but for the price that's pretty good.

Also you can check out /r/buildapcsales.

u/Lokky · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks, I think that's the way I am going to go!

Looking at 1080s and I narrowed it down to this card but I am having some trouble making sure it is really the best option, any suggestion for resources to easily compare cards? Kinda getting confused with all the models available...

Also about the screen you recommended, is there any reason to go for it over comparatively priced 4k options?

Thanks~

u/ironfixxxer · 3 pointsr/buildapc

No judgement here. I played WoW from beta until 2009 pretty much non stop. Had well over a year playtime across my characters.

Then the two cards I suggested might be good, they are around $100 and are short.

Alternately you could go with a GTX 950 as it is small as well.

u/blackthunder365 · 2 pointsr/helpmebuildapc

You probably want something more along the lines of this. I'm not entirely sure about it being able to fit, so make sure you measure how much space you have and compare it to how big the card is. Depending on your power supply, that might also have to be upgraded as well, as the ones that come in prebuilts are often barebones and unable to handle an extra graphics card.

Also, you might find some more help in /r/buildapc. It's more active, and this sub is for live help with builds, not part picking.

u/Delmar_Inc · 1 pointr/buildapc

Memory usually isn't the priority since 8 Gb is enough to get you by with most things unless you plan on heavy production stuff like video editing or having more than one chrome tab open. A new graphics card will help you a ton. 1060s for if youre willing to squeeze in the extra money for performance, or stick to a 480 for a budget build. Something like this ---> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KIZUF7Y/?tag=pcpapi-20 will give you 60 fps on most if not all games at 1080p on high settings. It all depends on what you need it for. 1050s are good cards if you're a more casual gamer. Whats your budget? What games do you plan on playing? Also, whats the wattage of your power supply? (might not be relevant but good to know just in case)

u/jungjai153 · 1 pointr/buildmeapc

The CPU Cooler is optional because the R5 1600 comes with a pretty decent heat sink that is RGB and you could try picking up a different variant of 1070 to save some money. Lastly you could try looking for faster ram which helps Ryzen performance a bit but all this is down to personal preference.
Brand: Zotac

Both brands are great

u/Kyundere · 1 pointr/buildapc

i would say get a new motherboard, because yours does not have a heatsink on your VRM's. Unless your motherboard isn't causing any instablity in your system, then in that case, i would get a new heatsink for your cpu, and have it blow over the vrm's. something like this would suffice. Also if you can save a little bit more cash, i would get a 1050 TI because you get a pretty hefty boost in performace, for not much more.

u/Unrelaible · 1 pointr/HardwareSwapUK

I have a EVGA SC GTX 770, runs at bit hot at full load, 86c at 65% fan speed (still quite quiet, there is no case fans in my case right now either) and like to be at between 50-65% fan speed rather than 41-65% to be as quiet as possible but runs great, i was looking for £70 with 1st class postage included in the price.

this one, not the blower one https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SuperClocked-Graphics-02G-P4-2774-KR/dp/B00CZIQXBA

No original box, but will be well packaged.

u/ravenouscraving · 0 pointsr/buildapc

Brace yourself, OP: I got my 7970 3GB for around $400. The prices of AMD cards have skyrocketed since the altcoin mining craze kicked in.

You may get more bang for your buck out of a card from NVidia. Consider the GeForce GTX 770. It is a bit better than the 7970 and less expensive.

I would like to note that this is coming from the owner of a 7970. It's a good card for sure, but my plans for Xfire went straight out the window when the price went way up.

/edit: Would any downvoters care to refute my statements?

u/Questionpersoni · 1 pointr/EliteDangerous

Ok thank you for helping me, how do you feel about this graphics card:

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX780-SuperClocked-03G-P4-2784-KR/dp/B00CUIVSNS

And this processor:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113284

Here is my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

Do you think that the graphics card and processor I linked you would be compatible with that stuff, and be able to run elite? Will i still need to upgrade the memory?

And the only thing I plan to use this pc for is games, and I am kinda ignorant about pc parts so I would like to run this stuff by you first before I buy anything.

Also, I understand that the 880 card is coming out this year, should I wait for that? Would it be better than the 780? Or could it coming out reduce the cost of the 780? Thanks so much for reading

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get feedback on which GPU I should get. Reason why I’m buying it on Amazon is because I have a gift card that I’ve been wanting to use, also this will be my first build. I’m looking into to grab one of the following options.

  1. EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 Ti FTW2 GAMING, 8GB GDDR5, iCX Technology - 9 Thermal Sensors & RGB LED G/P/M, Asynch Fan, Optimized Airflow Graphics Card 08G-P4-6775-KR https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076RT2ZVV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fwkUBb1VMDTDF

u/GameStunts · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Well you're kind of as cheap as it gets in terms of what you've picked, unless he's willing to lower the specifications, I doubt you're going to get cheaper than that.

He's wanting an intel, but is he set on getting a 970? That would really be the only area to save some money, but the only way would be dropping down in cards to a Radeon 290 or an Nvidia 770.

Wouldn't recommend less than 8GB for gaming.

You also asked about making it better, the i3 may be a bit underpowered to get the full benefit out of the card, if there was money to move up to an i5 (for about $100 more) he would get more out of the 970.

u/destinistos · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

An RX 470 for $135? Are you sure you're not looking at an RX 460?
But anyways, GPU prices are weird right now, so it's hard to say. I honestly wouldn't get a 1050ti if you're gonna use it for more than a couple of years. I would recommend the RX 470, but right now the cheapest RX 470 is $195, and there's an RX 480 for literally $5 more on Amazon
A $200 RX 480 I'd say is a better value than a $240~ 1060.

u/tmalik616 · 1 pointr/buildapc
  1. You could consider an air cooler like the NH-D14 or NH-D15 which has the same or better cooling capabilities as the h100i, but is cheaper and much quieter.

  2. That case is nice, but a tad expensive. You could look at the Fractal Design Define R5 or the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M

  3. You should spend an extra 10$ and get the EVGA 650W G2 Gold Certified Fully Modular PSU. Your build doesn't need more watts than 650. Also with fully modular PSU, it will help a lot during cable management.

  4. The MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X is cheaper and runs cooler.
u/Moxil · 1 pointr/EvolveGame

If you are short on ram it could hinder the experience, yes. So can a slow processor. Just look at the system requirements on evolves steam page for a general idea. This looks cheap and would definitely run Evolve pretty well provided you don't have any bottlenecks: low processor/low ram. In the future if you need graphics related help, post your CPU, ram, AND GPU in your first post.

For GPU I'm leaning toward a GTX 950 or GTX 1050. There's also a superclocked one, but would that make my computer catch on fire? lol

I wish the Nintendo Switch was out because I really want one.

As for things that are out, I would love to have either:

or some sort of GTX 1080 like this which is about $630.

A lot of people are going all out here, which I can't blame them as this opportunity really doesn't come along very often.

Would it be cool if I win if I could get an extra $1,000 donated to a charity? I'll have to do some research into which charity, but let's keep this love spreading.

u/PurelyFire · 1 pointr/buildapc

If I could make a recommendation, id recommend an aftermarket card instead of the founders edition for your 1080. For example, this card is about 40-50$ cheaper, will run quieter, cooler, and have improved performance compared to the founders edition cards! Founders edition tends to run quite hot compared to 3rd party cards, I think it'd slightly improve your build.

u/Ibuildempcs · 15 pointsr/buildapc

Truth is none of these have binned chips, therefore, as far as performance goes, it will all come down to sillicon lottery.

If you plan on overclocking manually, which I usually recommend you do, performance will not vary from one model to another.

However where it varies is in the noise and cooling department.

The gtx1060, being a rather efficient card to begin with, I would probably look at the cheapest solution to feature a decent dual fans cooler, such as the Windforce OC, or the zotac amp

I really do not believe spending the extra money to go for the brands you mentionned would be worth it.

u/inahga · 1 pointr/thinkpad

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. A steal in fact.

The limiting factor for dual slot, low profile in these SFF systems is just the availability of PCI-E slots. The newest Optiplex SFF's can't take these because their one PCI-E x16 slot is too close to the power supply. Looking at ThinkCentres right now, I think you'll be fine.

The 1050TI low profile, such as one here, is about the best low profile video card on the market today. Note that I got mine for $150 mid-2017, before the whole bitcoin mining fiasco. I'd recommend waiting for the price to come back down again. $150 is a pretty damn good value for this kind of piece.

This could be what you're looking for. It's the smallest 970 I believe. There's an Asus one of the exact same length, but it's about $30 more ($354, however there's a Newegg MIR making it $20 less, at $334 total).

edit: I just realised, you stated that your case supports 16.7" GPUs. You should be able to get any GTX 970 and it should fit in your case. The largest 970 is the G1 Gaming from Gigabyte (it's the one that I use, AMA) and that's 312mm long (12.2835").

Will this card be a good upgrade? I'm currently using a Radeon RX 460, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to a Ryzen 7 2700x as well. The CPU is probably overkill, but I'd like to future proof with that and make a gradual upgrade on my GPU.

Amazon Prime has an EVGA 1080 for just about $500 (a few dollars less) it's used - "Like New" condition.

Here's the link: EVGA 1080

You may be able to find one cheaper here on HWS but if you can't then here you go. Good luck.

Raijintek metis plus, with a smaller power supply you can fit up to a 267 mm GPU. How does this one look, I just found on Amazon on sale and it's more than small enough!

PSVR is still going to run in the $400-500 range, considering this is just a peripheral it seems like something I would hardly consider something for a large audience.

Plus, a lot of midrange PC's can already run VR, you can get VR ready GPU's in the 250 dollar range. Here's the RX480 for one example, and barely even on sale.

If you want something at an even lower entry level than PSVR, there are some bits out there allow you to use a phone as a VR headset. However theres a reason that headsets are super expensive, and that's because all of the sensors and the high resolution screen and such are very important. It's very important to trick the brain as much as possible with these systems, otherwise it causes disorientation and nausea, not fun.

Basically what I was saying last night, for like $80 you could get like a GTX 1030 that would be 30 times more powerful and that’s the bottom of the line today haha

edit: you know, playable
edit 2: I remembered this video which is pretty funny, your graphics card is two generations newer than this one but probably still like 9 behind current

u/Timer5 · 3 pointsr/nvidia

To be honest I that CPU will hold you back and the PSU in it will probably hold you back also. I say save your money buy a GTX 1050ti and with the money you save put it towards a whole new build.

So get that one

u/Internity · 2 pointsr/Vive

Nice. Maybe drill a handle to the top.

Also you have "mini itx or other" next to the graphics card instead of the motherboard. :)

edit: nevermind i see video cards now come in "mini itx" form factor. Learned something new. :) http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Overclocked-GDDR5-GV-N970IXOC-4GD/dp/B00OQUMGM0

I would say use the GeForce GT 1030 2gb, because I just recently got it, and it plays games very very good. Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=pd_ybh_a_86?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N57ANQEY27PFN5YMFABS

u/Hunter_behindthelens · 5 pointsr/AskBattlestations

Alright man, here's my recommendation if your wanting to go prebuilt on the cheap.

 

Score you a cheap Dell Optiplex tower from eBay for $250ish. These Dell Optiplexes in both i5, and i7 varieties come up a lot from cheap due to corporate surplus. They are built really well, and I personally think they look damn great for OEM. I use a Dell Optiplex 9020 as a home server currently. You may have to get a cheap hard drive, or some more ram, but that is just trivial stuff at that point.

 

Then to get you the sweet frames everyone wants, get you a new nVidia 1060 for $225ish, or be on the lookout on /r/hardwareswap for a used graphics card.

 

In the end, total cost should be well below $500 with some patience.

u/NotWeebAsShit · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Hello there,

I'm currently looking to upgrade my motherboard from a stock motherboard of a Dell Optiplex 3010 (front, do not currently have a back-facing image) without having to purchase a new case. Is there anything that will fit that you guys know about?

As per other hardware, I currently have a 3rd Generation Intel Core i5-3470, an EVGA 500W Power Supply, and a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti GPU.

I understand that my CPU is an older model, and that some modern motherboards won't be compatible with it, so if you're trying to help me out with this and can't find a board that will support my old CPU, feel free to suggest something other than that. My current end-goal is to have a fully-upgraded rig inside of this Optiplex 3010 case (by almost any means necessary), and having a newer CPU to go with a shiny new motherboard doesn't seem all too bad.

My budget for this hypothetical motherboard would probably cap at $130. Would probably be looking at a budget cap of $300 for both the Board and CPU.

Thank you very much!

u/Dave-C · 1 pointr/skyrimmods

Here will get you a 2gb 750ti with a 20 dollar mail in rebate so it ends up being 130usd. In some situations the 260x is more powerful so here is a pretty good comparison of the two.

u/KCONS · 2 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Wow that is a pretty good deal. Ive been looking at the Gigabyte card as it does look a bit cheaper. Amazon has the windforce for $676 (https://www.amazon.ca/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-GV-N1080WF3OC-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01IR6LMLO/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501738353&sr=8-3&keywords=gtx%2B1080&th=1). Ive heard EVGA is a bit better, but im hearing the other way as well.

u/Combatchase · 2 pointsr/gaming

It looks like a full size one will fit but if you save some space they have a shortened version of it with the same power. It just has 1 less fan. Look up the Zotac 1060 Mini 6 GB. I see it on Amazon for $260 right now.

u/randomstranger454 · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I don't know about the best, the only differences between cards I can think of are thermals, overclockability, quality and aesthetics.

My MSI 1080 Gaming X after being watercooled doesn't drop from 2025MHz in games and I can overclock it to 2114MHz and 11286MHz memory. It hits its power limit at 2012MHz in furmark and currently sits at 43C(in furmark if that wasn't clear enough, idle is 22C) with an ambient of 20C. The factory dual fan cooling should be good enough and it comes with LED lights. Goes for $619.90 in Amazon and has an extra $20 off after rebate.

You might want to get Z270 as well since you are going 7700K. Usually the 100 series motherboards require a bios update to work with kabylake CPUs

Well, I was playing TF2 on my Geforce 210, but at the lowest settings possible. I just pulled the trigger on an Asus GTX 750ti for $135 since its got all the specs I need for my multi-monitor setup and is pretty energy efficient, supposedly.

There is a Used - Like New one {Item is in original packaging, but packaging has damage} available for 527.24 prime. (Not Sure how much with regular shipping). It might not come with Destiny 2 though. Good deal during these dark times imo. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01GLYD7MG/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

I would have gotten a 750ti if I were you. Cheaper and more powerful. :)

Could have saved yourself around $150

u/mediumdeviation · 2 pointsr/singapore

When searching, check the 'Ship to Singapore' box, and on the product page look for

> Price: $199.99 + No Import Fees Deposit & FREE Shipping to Singapore

For example, this GTX1060 graphics card is eligible - https://smile.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Support-Graphics-03G-P4-6160-KR/dp/B01KUADE3O/

You get free shipping if your order is over US$125, and the price can be a lot better than Sim Lim Sq. The downside is that shipping can be a bit slow, up to 2-3 weeks, but if you're not in a hurry it's well worth it.

u/poochyenarulez · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

the cheapest, honestly https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-Windforce-Graphics-GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ looks good

They are about the same, only main difference is size. You generally want a bigger one with better cooling rather than a tiny one unless you don't have the room in your case.

u/Cplumber4 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I found this card that is going for $220

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KQUDE2Y/ref=twister_B01M0681S0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I know that basically every 1060 has very similar performance, so is there any reason not to go with this card because it is super cheap and I personally love the look.

u/Khaotic_Kernel · 1 pointr/Ubuntu

Hi, u/NEVERxxEVER there are some fixes for your issues but they maybe temporary. I would say to save you future trouble and time definitely consider investing in the GT 1030. https://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GV-N1030D5-2GL-Computer-Graphics/dp/B071DY2VJR/ref=sr_1_1

At some point we need to have a discussion as a community about what price we use when we talk about graphics cards and equivalence & power/$.

AMD RX 480 MSRP Pricing

The AMD RX 480 reference card is MSRP'ed to retailers at

  • Any brand reference - 4GB: $199 MSRP
  • Any brand reference - 8GB: $240 New
  • XFX Overclocked- 8GB: $270 New

    (Sources: NewEggBusiness.com)

    Now these MSRP selling points are not the "price" of the card, only the MSRP used for retailers. The market rate price on amazon, etc, which is controlled by supply and demand and free market pricing, is a much different story. Cards sold at MSRP are purchased and resold on the free market unless this 'arbitrage' is controlled. Currently AMD does not enforce any MAP or other price controls on stores.

    AMD RX 480 Market Pricing:


  • Any brand reference - 4GB: $? Note: Impossible to find this card for sale!
  • XFX reference - 8GB: $375 Amazon
    Amazon
  • Any brand reference, not XFX - 8GB: $325 New Amazon $375 'Used' Amazon marketplace
  • XFX OC - 8GB: $370 Amazon -


    Note how the OC XFX has elevated the cost of the stock XFX card even though it is functionally the same as the Sapphire/MSI etc stock reference cards. Demand and pricing don't follow logical feature comparisons.

    Let's pull in the Nvidia cards share we?

    GTX 1080


  • Any brand founders reference - GTX 1080: $699 MSRP NVIDIA
  • PNY Founders reference - GTX 1080: MSRP $699 New Amazon
  • EVGA Founders reference - GTX 1080: $830 New Amazon
  • MSI Founders reference - GTX 1080: $850 New Amazon
  • MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING - OC: $775 New Amazon

    GTX 1070:


  • ASUS Founders reference - GTX 1070: $525 New Amazon
  • ASUS overclock - GTX 1070: $449 New Amazon

    GTX 1060:

  • Any brand reference - GTX 1060: $299 MSRP NVIDIA


    Conclusion:

    *edit:
    If the price vs MSRP for other cards is any indication, it is reasonable to expect the 1060 to retail significantly over the $299 asking price post launch, maybe $350 or higher. Then it becomes a question of value and how the 1060 will effect the market demand for the RX 480. If the OC versions of the RX 480 are on the market and maintain the same or lower prices as currently($325-$375) then the value/$ of the RX 480 is still higher than the 1060's likely real world results.

u/bman3k · 1 pointr/buildapc

What do you think the chances of the prices for the GTX 1070 dropping by more than $50 within the next 3 months?

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this stuff now, but I don't really know the best "season" to be shopping for computer parts.


Edit:

Also are these two the same product? They look like they are the same but Amazon Canada is crappy about product descriptions sometimes...

I guess it all depends on your definition of the best build. But here is a solid build that you could build that includes a i7, 8GB ram, 1050 ti, 128GB SSD, monitor/kb/mouse.

u/iNeedAValidUserName · 1 pointr/sffpc

It would help to know what exactly your current setup is.

Given you don't have an HDMI out currently, I'm assuming you don't have a dGPU at all? actually read your post. What chipset do you have, and what's your [current] budget?

You can, of course, order a USB 3.0 to HDMI solution, but they aren't really reasonably priced if you plan on upgrading other parts in the future anyways.

It may make sense to just outright replace your MoBo with one that has an HDMI out if you don't ever want to have a DGPU - especially if you don't plan on updating chipsets since older chipset MoBos will be hard to find as time goes on.

If you DO plan on getting a dgpu at some point, a low profile 1050Ti may be a good solution without limiting your case options later on. Realistically, though, if this is just for displaying media the 1050ti is likely way more than you need - and you could get a cheaper 1030, I just dont' recommend the 1030 since it's a terrible performance/dollar. At $150 for the 1050ti though, outright replacing the MoBo may be your most reasonable solution.


IDK if there is a low profile, single slot 1050TI out there, that would be ideal for future case options if there is.

u/chaselye · 1 pointr/buildapc

jesus fcking christ that's some extreme small build, it looks amazing. Can I ask why didn't you go for the mini ITX GTX 970 since you can't fit a blower type in there anyway?

In my case this is my first build so, think I'll go with a case a bit more spacious and easier to manage like the fractal node 804 for example.

Rx 480 works Great and it is pretty cheap if you want around 80-100 fps.

If you want consistent 120+ fps go for a GTX 1070 or higher

You sure this one won't work? This is what I have in my optiplex 790 and it works like a charm. Even if the slot is slightly closer to the PSU I would expect it to be fine as most of the hardware sits above the card, away from the PSU and it's quite flat on the bottom.

Why would you recommend this over the GTX 760? It has only 2GB of VRAM and the GTX 760 I listed has 4GB of VRAM. I'll only be gaming on a single 1680x1050 monitor with the intention of adding a 1080p monitor down the road. Wouldn't the higher VRAM benefit me more for games like heavily modded skyrim and shadow of mordor?
