Horribly overpriced. For just $20 more you can get a quad-core i5-7500. If you're not gonna overclock you make up the price difference by the fact the 7500 comes with a stock cooler while the 7350K does not. If you're running something single-threaded (which nowadays pretty much no programs are) the 7500 will run at 3.8GHz which is only a 5% difference to 4.2. Meanwhile, in anything multi-threaded it'll crush the 7350K. If you do overclock you can get the i5-6500 and a Z170 board and do a BCLK OC. Even then, an i5-7500 will be faster in 95% of games and all multi-threaded applications vs a 5GHz 7350K.

EDIT:

Also, he mentions the i5-7400 in the video. Unless you really need to save $10 the i5-7500 seems better as it comes at a base clock of 3.4GHz vs 3.0.

Ever heard of saving your money? $40 is quite a bit and adds up quickly if it's a recurring amount.

For $40 though, it's more of being able to upgrade parts that you might get. an i5-7500 vs an i5-7600k is a $40 difference.

Upgrading from a regular cpu fan to watercooling is <$40.

Although mining has ruined the prices, upgrading from a gtx 1050 to a 1050ti is <$40

8GB of ram is just over $40.

u/DeadUncle · 3 pointsr/Gamingcirclejerk

TL;DR: Currently have i3-6100. Looking at i5-6500 and i5-7500. Would like an upgrade recommendation so I can run games like Tarkov and PubG.

I'm very sad to say, I built this rig in late 2016, and I still feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I got by with a lot of help from redditors and Youtube videos so I have no idea what's good and what isn't.

Currently, I have an i3-6100. I skimped on some parts due to being on a budget. In addition to upgrading my RAM by 8GB (Currently have 8GB) I'm hoping to upgrade my CPU. I also have an EVGA GTX 950 in there.

If it matters This is my motherboard

So what I'm looking for is an LGA 1151 slot, right?

Here is the first option

Here is the second option

What confuses me, is the second one is one generation newer than the first one, right? Why are they the same price? I'm also told if I go above a certain gen I'd have to upgrade my BIOS? I'd like to avoid that if possible. I've also read that in reality, an i5 is plenty sufficient for games, and i7 isn't worth the extra money unless you're video editing/rendering, etc. Lastly, the stock cooler that comes with the cpu should suffice, yes? I don't care about overclocking.

I'm looking to smoothly run Tarkov, Hunt Showdown, PubG, things like that. I don't care about 4k or 1440p or anything really. Ideally I'd like to at least keep it to 60fps though. Smooth gameplay is primarily what I'm after.

I'm also open to AMD and such if there's a comparable option that's more cost-effective, the intel i-series was just a bit easier for me to tell the difference between the different tiers (3, 5, 7)

I know it's a bit verbose, so thank you for reading.

u/weakarmspaghetti · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Since this build is on such a strict budget, I would do one thing. I would use unactivated windows but use the money saved to get a better processor such as i5 7500. This would add about 40 dollars to the price, but would be worth it.

update to i5-7500

u/decgtec · 2 pointsr/buildapc

If you don't want to overclock and still want a solid quad core and motherboard, you could probably save some money and scale down a bit.

I would recommend at slightly cheaper 7500: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493079388&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=intel+i5+cpu+7th+gen&dpPl=1&dpID=51XrkNI7q%2BL&ref=plSrch

It's a very similar CPU for 30 less and comes with the only CPU cooler you'd need and will also allow your 1070 to stretch its legs.

I'd also change the motherboard to a cheaper:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N4LCX2D/ref=pd_aw_sim_147_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9AKNKZ6TPFCK4CAMX5G1&dpPl=1&dpID=81TTTSvch5L

No need to spend twice as much on the one you picked that has the same features and only looks a little better.

u/NuclearShadow · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace


Well, my issue is that he's taking Amazon links which may not always be the lowest price. When actually putting effort to save money by looking at other retailers

Furthermore some of the choices make no logical sense if you were to only shop from Amazon and were deciding what hardware to get.

For example the 7400 makes no logical sense as a 7500 can be had for slightly cheaper.

7400
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1491782463&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=7400

7500
https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491783332&sr=8-1&keywords=7500+cpu

Now just imagine how much we could potentially get superior hardware for cheaper if we actually used other retailers.

Also in my mind that mouse and keyboard gives absolutely no value to me. You couldn't pay me to use them. So likely most people who would buy this and are serious about gaming or simply quality products would likely have to buy a mouse and keyboard all over again.

Lastly unless Thermaltake has made progress I was unaware of with their PSUs (feel free to chime in if anyone here is willing to correct me) I wouldn't ever use them for a PSU option.

edit changed the links from me directly going to Amazon and not through his links as I have the feeling he is hiding referals in all of them without informing of such. Anyone with that forehead is not trustworthy.

edit 2 Seems like he also advertises G2A and another similar site so clearly I was right about my judgement about him. I don't even trust him that this wasn't a advertised video at this point.

Can I use 2666MHz DDR4 RAM ( https://www.amazon.de/HyperX-HX426C15FBK2-16-2666MHz-288-pin/dp/B013H7QYEI )with following setup?

thank you!

u/Austyx · 2 pointsr/buildapc
I'd like the opinion of my peers here:

I'm upgrading the CPU cooler from the stock cooler so I can take advantage of my i5-7500K (I can't find the K anywhere, but I'm 99% sure it is) and actually overclock the thing so I can actually get 60fps on Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I only get about 45-60fps in that game. I've never overclocked before, so that will be a journey in it of itself.

It's between the Hyper 212 Evo and the be quiet! Dark Rock 4. I have them both up in tabs and am trying to decide. I imagine they run comparably, but the Dark Rock 4 matches my mostly black with some white build better. The Dark Rock 4 is also the recommended cooler by Tom's Hardware, which I like to use as a resource.

I also looked at the Cooler Master MasterAir MA410M but that might be too much RGB for me. Only RGB thing in my build is on my motherboard and it's just like a pulsating red light.

A true first world problem deciding if an all-black cooler is worth an extra $50. But what do you think?

Also, here's the build otherwise:

S340 Elite Matte Black is my case. I wanted to do H440 because it matches my green look, (my favorite colour) but it was sold out. Might have been discontinued.

I am using a MSI Z170A board with 8gb Ram (will get more, didn't feel like spending so much yet)

Using my old evo 212 cooler until I get that cooler you have for your build.

Your blueprint blows my computer out of the water but mine does the job.

and two 1 TB drive I had from my old build (I don't normally store so much stuff. I uninstall games I stop playing)

u/Arrhythmix · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace
700watt PSU is completely overkill. 550 400-450 will do the trick, and maybe find a Gold 80+ instead of bronze. Why not go with a 7500 intead? It's exactly the same [price after conversion of 201 USD = 263 CAD] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80677I57500-Core-Desktop-Processors/dp/B01MZZJ1P0/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1484579607&sr=1-1&keywords=i5+7500)

Just finished assembling my first build with the help of a friend and my MB is giving me some beep codes that don't seem to correspond to any that are listed on the website (for some reason, the manual doesn't have them listed).

Whenever I turn the computer on, it will proceed to emitt 5 LONG beeps then shut off and boot up again just to beep 5 more times. I am 99% sure it is long beeps because they last just over a second or so each. There is just no way those are short beeps. I have already tried booting without ram and with only 1 of the 2 sticks of ram each. I made sure they were seated properly also. I am just completely out of ideas and the internet seems to have no help.

Here are some of my specs:

You're using a local shop, not an agregator. That's not fair.

Now, Amazon.de

7500-185 eur.
1600 is 200 eur.
7600k is 215 eur.

Mate, look, your shop is expensive, you should be able to find a cheaper one.

And you can do just fine with a non-OC 7600k, because the K version has higher clocks by default.iirc its 3.8 ghz

u/buckeyegam3r · 1 pointr/buildapc

I didn't realize this at first but I think I need uATX. My current board is 9.6x9.6. This is on Amazon for $79. The 1060 is pretty big with 2 fans, will it fit??
B250
And you're right it's only $5 to upgrade to the i5-7500

u/rainhunter007 · 1 pointr/Twitch

I looked through all the comments and didn't find this suggestion, perhaps because it involves spending more money? However, I have done some research on this and find that the most successful streamers use this method.

First, League of Legends is a CPU intensive game. Graphics are surprisingly a small part of running League.

Second, Twitch streaming is a HUGE load on your CPU.

Because of how rendering engines work, there is going to be some inherit lag between your CPU processing the game, giving the graphical output to OBS, OBS rendering the video with your overlays, then placing it on the network to the Twitch ingest servers.

Depending on configuration, some systems may be fast enough to overcome this processing lag in the background so that you never see it. However, most professional streamers have a separate computer specifically for running OBS and sending the output to Twitch. This is likely where your problem is.

My suggestion: build a secondary computer specifically for OBS rendering and network communication with Twitch ingest servers.

I would recommend you pay attention to 3 specific parts to your PC (perhaps building a custom pc?):

u/FlatTextOnAScreen · 1 pointr/gamingpc

If you're not looking into over-clocking you can save like $60 by going down to a i5-7500, H270 mobo instead of a Z270, EVGA 500w is almost $10 cheaper than the Corsair you picked, and lower DDR4 memory for another $10 or so.

Here are the cheaper parts from Amazon:

HyperX RAM 16GB

MSI Pro H270

EVGA 500 B1

i5 7500.

Other than that, solid build.

i5-7500 for $200 if you can find good deals on it. Motherboards: Cheapest you can find.

You can go i5-6500 and an h110 mobo too actually. That will save a good chunk of change.

In the future you might kick yourself for going less than an i5 though. More and more games demand 4 real cores...

Truthfully, a skylake i3-6100 and h110 mobo would be plenty, for overwatch and KSP and 1080p. That would be well below your budget. Consider that option too.

u/edmonto · 0 pointsr/buildapc

You don't need an i7-7700K if you're just going to be using this for gaming. An i5-7600 would be sufficient for your use-case. In this case you also wouldn't need a separate CPU cooler, since one is included. This depends on what you intend on using the computer for though.

Also, you should be able to run Overwatch and CS:GO at high-ultra settings and still get >144 FPS with that graphics card at 1080p. I was getting ~100 FPS at 1440p with a GTX 1070 at ultra settings in OW, so there's no need to run on lowest settings if you don't want to.
