How to assemble a PC, select components & more (outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC
CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560 - poverty-tier builds
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R3 1300x - Good stop-gap between the 1500x and the 1200, only get a 1400 if you absolutely need multithreading
>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
>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 or Vega 56 - 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
>Good fucking luck even getting a VEGA right now
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
Sup /pcbg/, got the design I posted a few backs made into stickers, they're going to go up on my site on the 7th at 6pm est if anyone is interested.
Anons, anyway to make this build better?

At least the monitor.
From dead thread:
Currently using an i5 2500k and gtx 970, can't decide on either a 1080 or a 1700x mainly for having discord/Firefox on one monitor, guild wars 2 in the other.

>emojis in the documentation
A picture is worth a thousand words, and emojis tend to be 3-4 bytes large, so really you're saying space. For example:
>when you type "emojis" but it autocorrects to the name of your first girlfriend (I'm a girl btw)
See? It adds the emotional context without needing to add words to explain
>>62234024
Something, something, compression.
>>62234024
Wtf I put emojis there, it's supposed to read
>when you type "emojis" but it autocorrects to the name of your first girlfriend

Daily reminder that all you need for perfect audio experience is $3 earbuds and EqualizerAPO + PeaceGUI.
Anything more is for retarded audiophools who love falling for snake's oil scams.
Post your headphones anon!
Yes! You!
>ywn get a new PC with a driver CD holder built into the case.
what?
>>62232816
The door on the front opened up and could store CDs. I sold these at Office Depot around 1999.
>>62232801
My dad still has one of these. Windows ME, he runs quicken on it once a week.
What's a better processor than this
>>62232311
For heating your apartment, there is no better processor.
>>62232311
Literally everything.
You have to be retarded to think the FX processors were anything but overheating fucking garbage.
The reason why AMD was able to get an over 40% IPC improvement from Bulldozer to Zen is not so much how good Zen is, but how fucking trash Bulldozer was.
Now fuck off and kill yourself.
