Could be cheaper/better if you did not want RGB, but for an RGB build you cant really go lower, overally pretty good, just change drives/power supply and search for another 5700xt, best are PowerColor 5700xt Red Dragon or Sapphire 5700xt Pulse. 3 fan Gigabyte card is fine too.

Go with 1440p, you are NOT on a budget and 5700xt is perfectly capable for it =) Well, it IS hard to find a decend 1440p 144hz non TN Freesync panel, acer 271+ models have issues, otherwise 270 series is great(https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-27-inch-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=Acer+NITRO+VG270U&qid=1568102625&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmr0

Case is good, but if you want RGB - front panel is closed, so there is not much place to put it into =)Corsair fans are great if you want fans and a ring, but otherwise they are not great fans and cost a lot, so added another option. And yeah, if you still want to buy corsair fans - just get h510 Elite, would be the same price as h510+corsair fans, looks great and everything is pre-installed.. Otherwise just h510+30$ for fans(option in the list).

for Drives - Ditch HDD, they are slow, noisy and and this build deserve better. Here is your main drive, list does not seem to find it, it's great and reviewed by Tom's Hardware recentlyhttps://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Gen3x4-000MB-SU001TBP34A80M28AB/dp/B07L6GF81L/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=SU001TBP34A80M28AB&qid=1568101817&s=gateway&sr=8-1 $114.99 for 1TB nvme goodness
Second drive can be anything, tho b450 board only have one m.2 so any sata ssd for 1-2 tb is great, added a great option, it seems on sale right now.

Also added another memory option, same just 3600, if you want.

Why are you looking at those particular monitors? Personally, I'm not sure either is a really good choice. First of all, 1080P at 27 inches has fairly low pixel density. It's not unusable, and I've had a 1080P monitor in that size before, but overall 1440P is generally recommended for that size. Text will be much sharper on a 24 inch 1080P monitor, or a 27inch 1440P monitor.

But even if you're looking at 1080P. I'd suggest something like an AOC C24G1 (or AOC C27G1 if you really want 27 inches). Those monitors cost less than the 144 Hz Asus, are both still 144 Hz/Freesync compatible, and they are VA panels so their contrast ratio is significantly better than those Asus panels. Higher contrast results in significantly better image quality, which is worth the trade-offs, in my opinion. VA does means somewhat slower response time, but they are still pretty good, and I'd gladly give up a small amount of response time for deeper blacks.

AOC C24G1/C27G1: https://www.amazon.ca/AOC-C24G1-Frameless-DisplayPort-Adjustable/dp/B07GD7H18F/

You're welcome to get whatever you want, but I think the AOC C24G1 is basically one of the best bang/buck monitors on the market right now, and by being only 24 inches you get better pixel density for a 1080P display. I'd certainly also take the C27G1 over either of those Asus monitors.

Here's a review of the C24G1: https://pcmonitors.info/reviews/aoc-c24g1/

The PCmonitors.info site offers some pretty thorough reviews, in case you want to consider any of the other models that they've reviewed.

Regarding 144 Hz. I would pay up for 144 Hz. Either that or go up to 1440P. Don't get a 1080P 75 Hz monitor in 2019, IMO. A lot of people saying 75 Hz is OK probably haven't actually experienced the smoothness of 144 Hz. Plus, with adaptive sync, you can still run at less than the full panel refresh rate without issue. Assuming you're planning on keeping this monitor for 5-10 years, you're better off either getting more resolution or higher refresh rate.

Anyway, those are my two cents. Take them for what you will.

> Sorry I haven't conducted any surveys?

Steam hardware survey is a bit 'finicky'. Some people are/were reporting that they also haven't seen anything related to it on their PC. It looks like this pop-up window. There were also rumors that it picks people randomly and even that it mainly pops-up once a person mounts a new Nvidia GPU in their system and starts steam. It's all faint rumors though. There were also those shenanigans not so long ago with PUBG being popular in chinese cyber cafes and for some reason it was overcounting a lot of different users who were logging on the same (mostly nvidia/intel based) systems: Link. AFAIK valve did a roll back with some fixes and everything went back to normal.

> I was simply saying that the popularity of these cards is because they're gpus that folks don't have to mess around with and upgrade anything else.

I understand that and agree, but here's what i meant - let's take a look at that steam hardware survey again - 'GPU share' tab:

• On the 2nd place we have 1050 Ti with a share of 9.70%
  
  
• On the 3rd place we have 1050 with a share of 5.13%
  
  
• On the 6th place we have 750 Ti with a share of 3.84%
  
  All those cards can be powered only from a PCI-E slot. Where i'm going with this? As we know - AMD also offers a low-end Polaris single slot/PCI-E only powered card - RX 460/560 class. It's around ~35% faster than 750ti and is basically in the territory of (similarly priced) ~1050's performance - as we can see here on the 'Relative Performance' graph. 1050Ti is obviously above all of them. Since RX 460/560 offers similar to 1050 performance then it should be around or at least not that far off 1050 in 'gpu share' at steam hardware survey right?
  
  Quick check and it shows that RX 460 has a share of 0.43% while RX 560 is at 0.25%. Since with those PCI-E powered cards it's as you said "they're gpus that folks don't have to mess around with and upgrade anything else" - if those RX 460/560 cards were known by that group of budget gamers which are using or simply prefer PCI-E powered GPUs then those cards should have a lot higher share right? (provided that there's no brand bias) Especially when they can be paired with some cheap freesync monitor which as we know actually makes the biggest difference in budget tier since it's not uncommon for people with those low-end cards to fiddle around with graphical settings in games to get a good balance between decent FPS values and visuals. So generally RX 460/560 + freesync monitor (not even talking about hardware lvl DX12/Vulkan) is a lot more beneficial for an average gamer on a budget than having a 1050 alone (since G-Sync monitors are expensive), because freesync causes that gameplay still feels smooth even when fps are dropping noticeably below that 60fps mark (which is to be expected on low-end cards - those fps drops).
  
  That share of RX 460/560 simply indicates that majority of budget gamers have no idea about those decent low-end RX cards and freesync. This is an interesting showcase of how big Nvidia's mindshare is in the "average gamer that just follows a brand name" community. That's the thing me, user i originally replied to - /u/pls_halp_cri and the majority of users in this 'branch' of comments are pointing out.
  
  Again, the main reason i highlighted in my previous post those few responses from user /u/luapzurc is, because they're disregarding the power of mindshare (and you sir /u/Microsoft_Gerald - agreed with them ;). People going with 1050Ti over rx 470/570 is not only, because of "no additional power from the PSU needed". (I'm not counting here the group with (going for) cheap prebuilds with 1050's and 1050Ti's.)
  
  After following various PC-related subs and other parts of the internet dedicated to PC gaming for quite some time now - it isn't really that hard to notice a lot of misinformed/overconfident (ala "i'm always right") people going for 1050Ti over rx470 (with a focus on raw gaming performance) as their upgrade (especially as it was during the first several months after the release of those 2 cards) - mainly, because "it's Nvidia bro, AMD drivers suck", or "Nvidia is always faster and cooler".
  
  I mean, this whole brand loyalty in 'uninformed mainstream gamer' community is quite often on a such high levels that there are literally people saying that Ryzen is so behind intel that it's basically another FX series, claiming that there's 25% IPC difference between them, people saying "why should i even bother with an AMD card when i want to game?", fanboys literally wanting intel's and nvidia's monopoly and "AMD should just go bankrupt finally, who needs them" and people still buying 750Ti's over similarly priced RX 460/560's for budget (and older core 2 quad, 1st-3rd gen i5 based) PC's without even knowing that those RX's are ~35% faster (there's no excuse other than Nvidia's mindshare when all those cards are only PCI-E powered). Those examples i listed are what i personally noticed.
  
  Regards and peace :)

At first glance, the MSI is better. If the 1ms response time is true grey-to-grey, then the VA panel will look better then the TN. TN is generally faster, but they're both rated at 1ms, so assuming that's true, the VA will give the better contrast and viewing angles. However, it's not as bright as the AOC and it's also not VESA-mountable, so mounting it to an arm or wall-mounting it isn't possible. The prices are close enough that it comes down to preference on specific convenience items. Even with curved vs flat is subjective and something only you can decide.

Personally, if it were my budget, I would split the price difference and get the AOC C24G1. It essentially combines the best features of both monitors you listed and falls right in between their budget. It has nearly identical panel specs to the MSI, but is $10 cheaper and is VESA mountable, allowing more flexibility if you ever want to go multi-monitor. It also has a good record of being G-Sync compatible on the majority of games and applications. It's been a crowd favorite for a long time for a reason- it's an amazing price-to-performance option.

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1700X: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700x-3.80ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39w-am.html

1700: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-7-eight-core-1700-3.70ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-39x-am.html

--> OCUK "'X' Version with automatic XFR overclocking"

Freesync is marginally more expensive than standard panels, it's just up to the manufacturer to set up Freesync into the monitor. Here's a $122, 22', 1080p, 75Hz monitor that has freesync (48hz-75hz range):

https://www.amazon.com/AOC-G2260VWQ6-Gaming-Monitor-Black/dp/B0158L13M4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480820821&sr=8-1&keywords=AOC+G2260VWQ6

At this moment it is out of stock, but you can probably find it on other sites too. Another one is this $149, 24', 1080p, 75Hz monitor that also has freesync (48hz-75hz range), and this one is in stock on amazon with a used one going for $100:

https://www.amazon.com/ViewSonic-VX2457-MHD-DisplayPort-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B018MYTH9U

(Edit: both are TN panels, in case you're wondering)

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a sub-$100 monitor. My guess is it's usually not worth it to the manufacturers to implement Freesync in anything less than 1080p/75hz. Also, these monitors don't have a very big Freesync range to work with, so my theoretical 40hz situation would only work on more expensive monitors, which in their case has Low-Frequency compensation to alleviate this problem, which isn't a big issue because they usually have extremely high refresh rates already. I heard you can overclock the monitor to increase freesync range to 40 Hz, but I don't know how to do that.

Good luck with your purchases! I'm afraid the best monitor deals have come and gone with Black Friday, where I'm pretty sure we could have bought a $60 1080p monitor.

I installed my TRUE120 Rev C on ASUS PRIME X370-PRO that I put together for my cousin a while ago. Early production Ryzen 7 1700 chips needed a lot more vcore to go above 3.8GHz. I got the 1700 up to 3.9GHz. Clearance around the PRIME X370-PRO was ok but I did have to take a double look. I still have my original TRUE120 installed on my Sabertooth 990FX but don't have the new universal bracket so I can't see how it fits on my X570 AORUS Master or my X370 Professional Gaming (same as Taichi). Which motherboard are you considering ?

Amazon has the universal bracket for $12
https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-100700553-Optional-Mounting-Installation/dp/B00UN05Q6A/

Amazon also has the TRUE Spirit 140 Power for $50
https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-True-Spirit-140-Power/dp/B00IYEEOMO/

TRUE Spirit 140 Power has near identical cooling and noise levels to the NH-D14 (the mounting bracket looks to be the same).

Very detail discussion on OCN also Amazon custom feedback.

It would not make a difference as long as the converter does not support your monitors resolution. Only plausible solution could be an active adapter (converter) as it supports higher resolutions but the real active adapters cost 80-100$. You can buy a new monitor for that amount. And you can tell if it is real active adapter or not, is if it has an USB cable attached to it. The ones that are labled as active adapters but don't have a USB cable are actually passive adapters and you already own 2 of them, clearly they don't work.
Here is what an real active adapter looks alike: https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1467454662&sr=8-3&keywords=DisplayPort+to+DVI-D+Dual-Link+Adapter
NOTE: I can't promise that even this would work.

The MX500 is a great SSD (I have two), but you'll want to go with an NVMe M.2 drive for your primary boot device.

Amazon has the Sabrent Rocket 1TB for $110. It's one of the best bang for the buck PCI Express 3.0 x4 M.2 drives. Similar Phison E12 controller based drives include the $105 Inland Premium 1TB or Corsair's $125 Force MP510 1TB. These are essentially "template" drives using a common firmware, and will generally perform about the same.

Cost is identical, you gain much higher linear read/write rates, higher IOPS and (marginally) lower access latency. It's also a cleaner installation since it mounts directly to the motherboard.

Edit: Some newer drives utilize PCI Express 4.0 x4 connections to enable higher read/write transfer rates on your X570 platform. Very useful for some tasks (eg, linear video editing), but for most tasks don't offer a massive upgrade from current PCI Express 3.0 x4 drives. Add in the extra expensive (1TB starts at ~$175) and it's tough to recommend for most non power-users at this time.

You should check the prices at launch though, some of the better coolers are quite inexpensive.

I don't OC, but my wife's FX 6300 would overheat playing some games (stock settings), so I bought a new cooler for ~$35 that significantly cut core temps and also had a quieter fan (much larger than stock) and moved so much air I actually took another fan out of the case.

If the spread between OEM and retail versions of the same chip is fairly close to a quality aftermarket cooler, I recommend getting the aftermarket cooler even if you're not planning to OC. My computer is still on a stock cooler (Phenom II x4) and it's fairly loud, but I haven't had a crash so I haven't bothered upgrading. I'll likely buy the OEM chip with a better aftermarket cooler OOTB this time around though.

This is what I have for my 1600 (non x) and I can say for a cheapish cooler I couldn't be happier.
https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Freezer-eSports-DUO-Configuration/dp/B07MC8CRVZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=artic%2Bfreezer%2B34&qid=1562195615&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1

I used the wraith spire on my overclocked (3.9 GHz 1.375v) 1600 for about a year and a half before upgrading to this. That said there is something to be said about free and the prism is better than the spire. I'd give it 6 months. If you wish your temps were cooler or just want to upgrade ( as was my case) then do it! It's fun to play every so often.

I'm more on the "70 bucks is not worth it, the 2200g is just too good " side of the fence, and i'm glad that the prices here in germany are reflecting that. I think 50% more for SMT is totally justified.

2200g 96€

2400g 149€

Those chips are amazing.

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

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

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

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

Throwing a $30 cooler seems like it'd kill the deal right? Like for OCing don't you want a better cooler? I'd say a $90 Noctua, but then it looks like absolute shit and covers your RAM, so probably a water cooler or something? I really dunno.

My Ryzen build is a $200 cpu, $100 mobo (after discount), and free cooler.

Edit: I found this cooler is super popular and $50 - https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-True-Spirit-140-Power/dp/B00IYEEOMO#customerReviews

I've had very good luck with these kits on my two ryzen builds (3900x/x570 meg ace, 3700x/x570 pro-prime):

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N43CYMS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I purchased three of the 3733Mhz kits (2x8), one was samsung b-die the other two were hynix cjr (I think, they are c-die). I am able to run all three kits at 3600Mhz without any issues. Before settling on these kits I tried two different kits of 3000Mhz 2x16GB samsung b-die, neither of them would run at stock speed let alone had any overclocking room. So my experience has been to use 4x8GB sticks if you want 32GB, 16GB DIMMs simply didn't want to work. That may change as they sort things with new bios revisions. Good luck!

The real solution here - Best monitor for $300. Cheap IPS panels cannot compete with the best TN panel I've ever seen.

https://www.amazon.com/Dell-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor-S2719DGF/dp/B00N2L5CXO

If you want to save some cash I highly recommend this Nixeus EDG27S v2. Only $400 for a solid 1440p, 144Hz, 27", FreeSync (also Gsync compatible), IPS panel, 109% sRGB. You won't find better for the price. I shopped around for weeks for a 1440p 144Hz FreeSync monitor and this is absolutely it for me. Here's a very thorough review that really goes into detail about everything you could possibly want to know, and here's another one that's in a more summarized format.

I've had this monitor for over a month and it is amazing to game on. I think the only downsides are the speakers and the stand. Depending on your setup though both of these negatives can be completely mitigated with external speakers and a vesa mount (it's 100x100 vesa compatible). It's very new and from a not-as-well-known company so it flies under most people's radar, but imo for $400 it's the perfect monitor.

Funnily enough, I bought the cheapest 3733MHz RAM possible. I believed it was going to be Hynix memory until I started using it. Surprisingly turned out to be B-Die. YMMV


https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N43CYMS


Also I'm sure the 1.49V I'm pushing through the memory is helping a lot with the timings. :)

I didn’t actually it came with it so I just left it there haha.

AAB Cooling RAM Heatsink 2 - a set of 8 copper heatsinks for RAM and GPU memory https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075QBGRWB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jrWYDbK4GMVF5

These were the ones i bought packaging was a bit crap but that was all. They fit perfectly.

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RR-212E-20PK-R2-Direct-Contact/dp/B005O65JXI something like that on a budget. Noctua's are good for more $.

XFR and PBO are ryzen 2 features that auto-overclock your cpu based on thermal sensors.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/12625/amd-second-generation-ryzen-7-2700x-2700-ryzen-5-2600x-2600/5 is a good write up on the tech.

From posts here, dialing in manual overclocks and voltages will rarely offer much higher performance than turning those on with a good cooler.

Cool, thanks for the info. Looking into the options there are many B450 MATX boards. Following from your price range there are many available also, I would consider the ASUS TUF b450

ASUS TUF B450M-PLUS GAMING AM4/B450/DDR4/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX Socket Motherboard - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F6XBJVG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rIxJBb76406TD

Or the MSI Mortar b450m

MSI B450M MORTAR Socket AM4 MicroATX Motherboard for AMD Ryzen Processors https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FNMLCTM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_aCxJBbPB1EC5W

Both look good, however both for the boards have different ports such as Display port on the MSI or DVI on the Asus.

Hopefully that helps...

Out of the options you have given, the Sapphire RX Vega 56 Pulse is your best option.

And as u/Ovlovian has pointed out (Happy Cake Day!), the Vega 56 Pulse is only $320 right now on Amazon.

• • -
    

    Also, I don't know how big your budget is, but the best air-cooled Vega 64, the Sapphire Nitro+, is $420 on Newegg right now.

I had my old 8320 at 4.5 ghz on a Hyper 212 evo and it was certainly worth it over the stock clocks, but definitely get a better cooler, the stock one cannot handle overclocking.

The 3700X at stock is a pretty cooling running chip. This means pretty much any decent cooler will do the job for you. I have used the ARCTIC Freezer 34 eSports DUO and the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 on a 3800X and they do a good job, should be great on a 3700X and both are around the $40 price point. No need to spend a lot of money to get quiet cooling. Also consider the Noctua NH-U12S SE-AM4 a little more expensive but it is after all Noctua :-)

That's pretty sweet!

On a related note, has anyone tried a graphite pad with 7nm Ryzen yet?

https://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Cooling-Graphite-Thermal-Pad/dp/B07CKVW18G

Just curious as to what the results were. The reviews of this graphite pad speak highly of the product.

Edit: Ahhh, we DO have a reddit thread for that!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/cdslyf/testing_graphite_thermal_pads_with_a_3700x/

Nothing to see here. Move along!

Sorry, just seen this.

No backplate involved unless you mod your own.
Can be installed on regular XT as well, not sure about these new reference ones but they should work too!

AAB Cooling RAM Heatsink 2 - a... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B075QBGRWB?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Black Aluminum Heatsink Cooler... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LXWK626?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Please note, the copper heatsinks will only fit the left and right sides of the vrams. The top two you will need to use the black aluminium ones or sand the copper ones down so the pump will make perfect contact with the GPU die.

i would choose the 3600 with a better cooler. But none of those. The freezer 34 esports duo is great for 30€. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ARCTIC-Freezer-eSports-DUO-Configuration/dp/B07MC8CRVZ/ref=sr_1_7?crid=J3GQ8UXH3K93&keywords=arctic+freezer+34+esports+duo&qid=1562780599&s=gateway&sprefix=freezer+34%2Caps%2C143&sr=8-7

​

If you want to spend ~50€ the Scythe Fuma. For 70+ the dark rock pro 4 or Noctua D15.

Edit: Not sure if these support 144hz properly, but works for 60hz. If anyone knows, please chime in.

Edit2: After some research, you need an active adapter, which are very pricey for proper 144hz output.

I recommend an Asus B350f mobo. I have put a couple systems together with this mobo and have had fantastic luck with ram and cpu compatibility. https://www.amazon.com/ROG-B350-F-GAMING-DisplayPort-Motherboard/dp/B071SGQP1Q

Also, I would recommend getting Samsung B Die memory, it is more expensive but worth every penny if you're looking to squeeze every bit of performance out of your ryzen setup.

​

What kind of power supply are you running? It would probably be worth upgrading to a new one if your budget allows.

I did a lot of research on Carbonaut and IC Graphite, and almost all the (professional) reviews put the IC Graphite a tad ahead of Carbonaut. But I believe this stems from mounting pressure, or lack thereof. The performance of the Carbonaut scales with mounting pressure, and my suspicion from reading reviews, is that in most cases, and with most types of cooling solutions, the average Joe like myself, won't achieve the mounting pressure needed to make the Carbonaut shine and outperform the IC Graphite.

Another thing to consider, is that, although Carbonaut has excellent thermal conductivity in the Z axis (from the IHS towards the heat sink), it doesn't have as good thermal conductivity in the two other axis as the IC Graphite does. This is because the Carbonaut has fibers, and these fibers are aligned in the Z axis specifically to make it most efficient in that axis. So it seems the IC Graphite is better at dealing with small hot-spots. If you look at images of the 3900X without the IHS, the two CCX dies are tiny in area compared to the total area of the IHS. The CCX dies are two hot-spots.

As for the customer reviews, I found that the IC Graphite not only has a lot more reviews (e.g. larger sample size), but it has much better customer reviews as well:

• https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Carbonaut-Pad-0-2/dp/B07PHN2ZNY#customerReviews
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Carbonaut-Pad-0-2/dp/B07PGLL1YX#customerReviews
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Thermal-Grizzly-Carbonaut-51-0-2/dp/B07PGK47L9#customerReviews
  
  vs
  
  
• https://www.amazon.com/Innovation-Cooling-Graphite-Thermal-Pad/dp/B07CKVW18G#customerReviews
  
  ​
  
  All things considered, I opted for IC Graphite.

I have mixed feelings about the turbo boost. By reading on wikipedia about turbo on the previous amd iterations, it's simply a frequency boost that happens for short periods of time on 1 core. It's really useful for single thread applications. However, it becomes confusing when on Amazon, for example, the 1800x is sold as having a frequency of 4ghz while in reality has 3.6ghz. At this point it just becomes a marketing thing.

Edit:

Here is the link to amazon

Interesting. So what If I went with b350? Like this: (Asus ROG STRIX- Amazon, CA)?

Am I just missing SLI Support?

Spain (all prices include 21% VAT)

Part | Amazon | PCComponentes
---|---|----
1800X | 446€ | 529€
1700X | 363€ | 419€
1700 | 316€ | 316€
1600X | 250€ | 279€
1600 | 218€ | 225€
1500X | 203€ | 209€
1400 | 170€ | 179€
I only welected the one sold directly by amazon or managed by them, if you're willing to go with Amazon marketplace there's a 1800X for 432€ and a 1600X for 236€.

They seem to be pretty close to most of the european prices.

My question regarding the X version is what to pick when I already have a Corsair 280mm AIO.

OC is easy, just get a nice board and the 1600, i would recommend a B350 Strix board or the prime you mentioned:

https://www.amazon.com/ROG-B350-F-GAMING-DisplayPort-Motherboard/dp/B071SGQP1Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1505485721&sr=8-1&keywords=b350+strix

[This] (http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS) should be what you're looking for. Granted, it's twice the price. It's a pretty good monitor, though; I have one.

Oh wow good call.

The Sponsored listing I looked at for 480gb is apparently grossly overpriced

CORSAIR FORCE Series MP500 480GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD Solid State Storage, Up to 3,000MB/s https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N7GDWE2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_YhXNDb4CRW707

Especially considering I clicked "View Newer Model"

And for 5 bucks less you get 960gb, and supposedly 3480mb/s instead of 3000.

CORSAIR FORCE Series MP510 960GB NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2 SSD Solid State Storage, Up to 3,480MB/s https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HR78FQ5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_BiXNDbBPN6Y4G

That being said, I'd still choose the Sabrent Rocket over the MP510 since it's almost identical in specifications for $15 less. (At 1tb)

I would suggest a tower style air cooler in the $30-$40 range. They are the most reliable and simplest solution, and offers the most value for your money. There's quite a lot of options:

bq! Pure Rock Slim $30 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KVNCEIG/

​

CM Hyper 212 EVO $35 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005O65JXI/

​

CM Hyper 212 Black $37 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H25DYM3/

​

Arctic Freezer 34 $34 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MQ9MQ5M/

​

Enermax ETS-TF40F $36 https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835214064

​

There's like a half dozen more options, these are some highlights looking at the current cooler prices on pcpartpicker.

2200g+mATX Motherboard+ 16gb 2400mhz ~$210

The motherboard is not the best but has the video connections you require. It will allow for mild overclocking but you may want higher clocked RAM 3000mhz+, it’s about $5 difference. $20 more on a motherboard will provide a heatsink on the VRMs to further improve overclocking.

$80: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Radeon-Graphics/dp/B079D3DBNM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=2200g&qid=1563839862&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Edit: more context

You need an active adapter that supports 144Hz.

One like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1481752156&sr=8-6&keywords=144hz+dvi+displayport

The Thermalright True Spirit Power 140 will save you $40+ and perform about on par with a D15.

If you can add some money, buy this monitor instead which has FreeSync and is 144Hz.

Otherwise, if you can't spend 50$ more, check out this and this.

Don't buy a non-freesync monitor.

As for the 480, no it won't overheat, the node202 has a big grill right where the fan is, so it can take as much air as it wants. MOreover, since it's a blower style card, the volume of the case doesn't affect the cooling (cold air is taken by the fan and hot air is spit right out of the case through the rear. Hot air doesn't remain in the case)

Good for the rest ;)

so it automatically activated free sync when it goes into that region?

would you also recommend this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ViewSonic-VX2457-mhd-24-Inch-FreeSync-DisplayPort/dp/B018MYTH9U/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1482707410&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+freesync

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N43CYMS/ref=dp_cerb_3?th=1

​

out of stock though. people are starting to get their orders in so parts are in hand and ready for 7/7.

Sigh.... once again these are passive adapters and an active adapter is needed for 144Hz.

Like this one-
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U

Nothing popping up on Amazon US either, if it makes you feel any better :)

Ninja edit: I was wrong, looks like the 3600X just popped up stateside

For that budget, Vega 56 definitely. RX 580's can be fit into a 600 dollar budget, and the 590 isn't a great buy.

If you live in the US, I'd recommend either of these two:

https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131740

Whatever you do, don't get the gigabyte version, because it's absolute garbage.

This sale!

Now on the performance side. AMD promised they will keep the AM4 platform for 4 years, so there should be an upgrade path in the future. The CPU is soldered so you don't have to worry about thermal paste degradation, and it performs pretty much the same as Skylake-X which just came out, costs the double, is more power hungry, and overheats easily.

Linus made a video on the pad, also here's an amazon link https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07CKVW18G/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525495018&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=graphite%2Bthermal%2Bpad&dpPl=1&dpID=51A7jyUMceL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1
The high end pastes should only be slightly better, but the pad has enough advantages to outweigh a difference of 1-2 degrees

Got myself https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Freezer-eSports-DUO-Configuration/dp/B07MC8CRVZ for my 3700x, very quiet, temp dropped by like 15 degrees under load. Seems good so far. The hardest part was taking the wraith prism off and cleaning everything.

This is going to be a much better solution https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-RR-212E-20PK-R2-120mm/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1493346642&sr=1-3&keywords=cpu+cooler

Seconded.

Probably the two best panels for 1440p 144hz gaming are the the Viotek gn27db if you prefer a curved panel or the Dell S2719DGF if you prefer flat panel.

Nixeus EDG27s v2 . Best 1440p FreeSync IPS monitor for the price ($400). Also one of the biggest FreeSync ranges on the market (30Hz-144Hz) and a 4ms response time.

Why not both 1440p and 144hz? You can sometimes find great deals on Acer re-certified monitors for $200-$300. This is what I used with my 390x: https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS

Link was just for quick reference.

It's $399.99 on Amazon with free shipping, which isn't bad. 2~3 week delivery time, though.

If you read the reviews for that too many people are saying it only works as a single link adapter and/or can only display up to 1920x1080. Monitors like mine require dual link dvi.

I would need the powered adapters, like this one, which is about $150 Canadian:
https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_sims?ie=UTF8

Have seen this one go as low as 120.


Another great deal if you want ultra-wide.

If you want 4k.

Look out Black Friday also.

It looks to be a TN panel so the colors probably won't be the greatest. Personally I have a Nixeus EDG 27 it's an IPS 1440p 144hz monitor. I dig it, compared to my other monitor ( AOC G2460PF) it's far and beyond better. I don't really like curved monitors but I would recommend if you want one to find one with an IPS panel.

Save you a click - $300 @ Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-11276-02-40G-Radeon-Pulse-Graphics/dp/B07BGZNTQJ

$130 1080p FreeSync Monitor: http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B018MYTH9U/ref=twister_B019JCCKBQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

You could invest in a 2nd monitor if you don't have one already xD

I was personally originally looking at Acer XG27 b/c less $$ than BenQ. But, then switched back to looking at 1080 monitors b/c honestly didn't think consistent 60 fps was achievable in AAA games on an r9 390 (p.s. sorry again, I know I'm not helping with your problem)

I'm having an issue with my monitors when Freesync is turned on. I have 3 monitors. My main one is a 144/155Hz Dell (Link) and the secondaries are Acer 75Hz (Link). I have tried the Dell at both 144 and 155. My GPU is a 5700 XT on 19.8.1 drivers.

My issue is when I am playing a game on the main screen (I've noticed it with Overwatch and Fortnite in Windowed Borderless) that my other 2 monitors FPS drops to almost nothing. If I have Discord or TS or something up, I can't see it light up when I talk or someone else does. If I have a video running on Youtube, it is running at less than 1 FPS. It's like the monitor doesn't want to update what's on the screen.

I turned off Freesync on the monitor and in the Radeon settings and it seemed fix the issue, so I'm pretty sure it's Freesync. When I google this issue, it seems like most people have the opposite problem where the performance hit is on their main monitor. Also, most answers seem to be play in Fullscreen mode (defeats the purpose of multi monitors, no?) or buy all Freesync monitors at the same refresh rate. Not really an option. Some people say it's actually a Windows issue. I'm not finding much good info, so I'm hoping someone here knows about this.

Does anyone know of any fix or anything to try? What am I losing by not using Freesync? I guess I don't fully understand that technology either.

Edit - Probably not relevant, but here's my full build that I finished a week or two ago. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mJt6cY

Also, I did not have this issue prior to my new build. I had a 144Hz main screen and 2 60Hz screens at that time, but was using an Nvidia card but not G-sync or freesync.

It's going for $479 on Amazon right now (listed price is $579), plus amazon doesn't give you the 3 Game pack if you're interested in those titles.

I'd pay $20 more for the Sapphire version on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BGZNTQJ/

It looks better and Sapphire is the gold standard for Radeon hardware.

Buy this one if you can find a deal you want on it, it is one of the better Vega 56 cards.

Since I'm not sure where you're at, my alternative recommendations are the Thermalright ARO-M14G (https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/10/02/thermalright_arom14g_ryzen_am4_cpu_air_cooler_review/4) or the True Spirit 140 Power (https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-True-Spirit-140-Power/dp/B00IYEEOMO/). Those should be in the $45 to $50 range (at least in the US).

ryzen 3 2200g is also on stock :)

Ryzen 7 1700 379,90€
Ryzen 7 1700X 459,90€
Ryzen 7 1800 X 574,90€

Go cheap on a $25 Rosewill case and upgrade to a $78 2200G, and get likely better graphics and CPU performance, while still staying right at that ~$250 price point.

Other than that for the rgb for the fans where do they go usually ?

Cheapest one I could find. Maybe the 1440p Freesync market needs to mature a little.

If you are going to go at the low end PC "low budget" take advantage of low price on sale that are going to start, example:

- Check CPU price on amazon for a reference:

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Computer-CPU-Processors/zgbs/pc/229189

Do you see the Ryzen 3 2200G APU (CPU+GPU) at this time is at ~89$?

Or the Athlon 200GE ~59$?

- Check MoBo price:

Do you see the GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H MoBo at this time for ~50$

As you can see you can get all from ~110$ to ~140$ ( CPU + GPU + MoBo )!? :)

That monoprice adapter will not work for 1080p144hz

You need a powered displayport to dual link dvi adapter. These are pretty expensive.

https://www.amazon.com/Accell-B087B-002B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Dual-Link/dp/B002ISVI3U?ie=UTF8&keywords=bizlink%20active%20displayport%20adaptor&qid=1435597922&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2

Beware adapters that are listed as 'active' adapters, but do not actually have an external power input.

Well you could get a Freesync 1080 or 1440P 144hz monitor for relatively cheap

1440P $403

1080P $235

He doesn't go through the whole list at all. Probably because that would go against his claim. Many of them have Freesync listed on amazon page and/or manufacturers product page.

just buy standard gpu ram heatsinks instead of the raspberry pi ones (they are the same or better but cheaper as you pay extra to get standard heatsinks cut in half to fit the smaller raspberry pi parts)

and you get different sizes if needed

It's possible to order the 2200G using the same trick, as well:

I pre-ordered one myself. Planning to do a little HTPC for around $300.

Think Amazon would post-conversion price match?

Overwatch, Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Skyrim and doom to name a few. I have vsync on as every guide told me to do I have the game in fullscreen mode my video card is an R9 290x Oced to 1200/1500 the games are at 1440p. Fallout 4 limits me to 30FPS and no difference. I am connected using display port no adapters just display port to display port. My monitor is this one

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS

The monitor said it supports freesync I tried every setting I have freesync enabled on my Radeon Control Center for that monitor and nothing. So far the investment hasn't been worth it I was already on a 1080p 27in monitor I moved to this one for Freesync and so far I have been incredibly disappointed since I have yet to see a difference.

If I am doing something wrong please tell me because I feel REALLY ripped off by AMD for falling for the marketing BS and buying a crazy expensive monitor. Don't get me wrong 1440p is nice but I paid extra to get a higher end one that had Free Sync support :(

   You can put any m.2 in there. It doesn't need to be NVME.
   
   This is my first build with no sata drives. I'm using 2 of the 3 m.2 connectors. One for OS, one for porn documents just like you. This is my documents drive. It's awesome.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 bought. tested on vega 64. works. My 120hz montitor only has dvi-d so no hdmi option for me.

I'm using the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo.

That would work but for a couple dosh more, I would go with the 212 EVO instead. Unless, for some reason, you NEED the T2.

If you paid around 500 for that, I would return it if possible and get this for 350 instead while you can:

Says buy new 249

I may go with the 3600X due to the availability issues of the 3600 if I order in the next day or two. The money I would be saving by buying the B450 mobo instead makes it come out to the same total price.

​

By the way, here is what I am looking at currently:
