How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
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.

I am looking for a KDE distro. Have you ever heard about KaOS? Is it a decent distro. Should I give it a try?
gentoo
>>61375884
KaOS seemed like a nice distro a year or two back. However, to minimize the number of KDE bugs you should obviously go fo The KDE distro.
Or gentoo.

1050 Ti

Probably rx 570- oh wait miners got rid of that. 1050ti is best value for 1080p for most games.
Do you have something to hide /g/?

>>61375830
yes i do.
so ive got an old pocket tv with an external antenna connector (3.5mm jack) and ive got a composite to 3.5mm adapter (same one shown)
I connect my console to the adapter and plug it in, but im not getting it to work, any ideas /g/?
>im not getting it to work
What exactly? If you're trying to watch TV on it, there are no more analogue signals so it won't work.
Double check that theres no celery interrupting the picture.

Shit i want to have one linux monitor and one windows monitor so bad, but i just can't justify buying a new pc just for the uefi support when this one handles all the programming i do and the one game i play perfectly fine plus 80% of things i do require windows anyway..

anyone use KDE? it's still miles better than all other desktop enviorments, but after just a short time using it I found many really crap bugs
latest KDE plasma issues and bugs:
every time you change wallpaper the entire session crashes and restarts
have to hit "Log out" / "Reboot" multiple times to actually take effect from start menu
Various steam games will randomly break Kwin and have no boarders.
Various steam games open on wrong monitor with graphical glitches
Various steam games black screen and crash the whole system.
Audio will randomly crackle and distort terribly. Fix on arch wiki?
whats up with this? why is linux software so buggy? when will linux software finally be usable?
works on my machine
what version are you using?
>>61375337
>why is linux software so buggy?
It's KDE that is to blame in this instance. They can't seem to focus on getting rid of bugs, instead they continue to pile more shit on top of them.
>>61375396
Look. Why is it so shitty for me?
Also, another one

Why can't Windows laptops have a similar build quality to MacBooks?

TIL macbooks have build quality. (please do not upvote.)
Alright /g/ what the hell
I run a PC building/review channel on YouTube. My first build video (this guy: https://youtu.be/rrzp_fS1GRY) has gotten almost a quarter million views. I got featured on the front page for a few days which exploded my stats - literally thousands of times more views than I had been receiving previously.
Following the same format for my second build (similar title, tags, description, content) I made this video: https://youtu.be/W_QboP9A9UU.
Two weeks later, it still has less than 2,000 views. It never showed up on the front page, and in fact it isn't even being listed in suggested videos - a grand total of less than 200 views from suggested videos.
That budget build is still getting over 500 views PER DAY, almost 5 months after it was uploaded. The new build? Under 50, less than 2 weeks later.
What the fuck?
Introduce celery into your non-budget build videos, as the resulting hoomhatha will bring more views.
As someone who owned a cancer vine channel, I can tell you that consistency is key. As long as you constantly upload and it's not complete dogshit. You will grow. Stick to your current style of making videos. People seem to enjoy it.
