CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p
>GTX 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed RAM

General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.

Studied math in undergrad want to learn more CS. Currently working through the /g/ meme C book (Ritche). When should I start reading pic related?

I'm finally upgrading to a real memestation and am stuck on what I should do for graphics.
Is 4k worth it?
Will I be able to find a decent monitor at a reasonable price? I want at least 2 and want them to be quality enough that I don't mind buying a third of the same type later on.
These are the two I'm looking at:
>Samsung U28E590D
>LG 27UD58-B

It's hard when I could get 3 normal screens at a fraction of the price.

I also don't play vidya, should I be concerned about:
>ips vs tn
>response times
>refresh rate
>linux

Basically I'm worried that I'll max out just the 4k spec and end up with something that's complete garbage in every other regard.
...and having trouble finding non-affiliate non-prole recommendations

Technology Story:

I made a video for the local Seattle band "Step Dads." The video was shot on a Cannon 70D and eventually, after many setbacks, recorded to VHS and back to digital. I had no digital to analog, analog to digital converter of any kind. At first I thought I would burn the digital version to DVD then record a VHS from a DVD player playing my DVD. That worked as planned except now I had to get that VHS recording back to digital. Yes i could have used a converter but those are upwards 80 bucks. I went to a 2nd hand computer part store to find a VHS/ DVD Combo recorder deck but came up short. I did however find some 3 dollar PCI-E cable TV tuners with S-video in. I bought a couple of those, hooked it into my PC and realized my VCR has no fucking S-video out. Also, I had to find the out what card I actually had and find windows drivers to even use it which led me to a guy in India that had a google drive with a ton of random drivers and he hooked me up. I could make this go on forever but what I ended up doing was designing my own composite video to S-Video adapter cable by soldering the data and grounds together. This allowed me to see the S-Video input in on a program called "VirtualDub" which let me access my TV Tuner card. The signal was weak and unstable, cutting in and out. I guessed it was because composite isnt supposed to go to S-Video at all because S-video is basically composite but instead of the entire signal going down one wire, its spit into two for brightness and color. I figured the signal was being split or some shit. I soldered a 1000 nf capacitor through the data, plugged it in and to my surprise, worked perfectly. Never thought I'd have to use a god damn soldering Iron to make a music video.
The final product can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9JEvxLzH00

With new CPUs and GPUs being insane housefires
i9 7800x-350w
Vega-400w
will we see a resurgence in custom water cooling loops?

In the past, the only way to get the full performance was a custom loop. (He 5970,6990, gtx 690) Power usage dropped and better coolers were designed so water was not necessary anymore.
But now, air cooling is reaching it's limits once again.

Literally found this laying on a dumpster behind a pawn shop.
No charger.
What are the odds that it will work if I get a charger?

Is there anywhere that I can take it that would let me test a charger without buying it?
