My Blk Fri Comp Build.png

Here's my build. Is it worth the buying? I want to run games flawlessly and do video editing
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mFD8GX
other questions are:
what monitors?
should I really a do gtx980ti?
>>
>>52706169
Looks decent. Maybe consider a higher rated PSU? Also, if you're planning on overclocking (which I assume you are) it wouldn't hurt to spend a little more on the cooler.

If you don't care about going over 60fps, then get a nice IPS 60hz monitor.
>>
>>52706169
bad PSU, get a gold please
>>52706823
Get a K CPU or go back down to a 4460, not worth the price, also 970 or 980ti for same reasons
>>52706866
That monitor has really bad viewing angles and a headset? and if you're getting a 380, please get the 4GB version
>>
>>52706964
I already have the CPU from a previous build.
Is the 980 really not worth it? You can get one used for like $400 now.

>>52706990
No, the 980 is not worth it. You either go 980 ti for 144Hz 1080p or 1440p/4k 60Hz or 970/390 for 1080p 60Hz or 1080p 144Hz in competitive games.

help /g/ please, i have to buy a new gpu because i went full of fag and broke a blade on december as you can see here http://4archive.org/board/g/thread/51822552

the gpu is making so much noise and i even cant see videos.

Processor: AMD Athlon X2 250 3000 MHz
Psu: 650 watts
Ram: 4GB.
Motherboard i dont know, but it supports Pci express 2.0

what gpu can i buy? i have like $140.
i was thinking in a nvidia 730 but i read that the processor is not to powerful and will bottleneck.
>>
>>52707230
my 4gb ddr5 970 runs games on ultra at 2k resolution easily, I dont have a 4k monitor but I'm sure it could play most every game on at least medium

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LBwmYJ

You guys approved this build a few weeks ago when I first posted it, but now I'm ready to order it and I'd appreciate any last minute advice

Anon in another thread pointed out I accidentally clicked a micro atx motherboard

So here's the real build
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dvHqcf
>>
>>52707970
Why the cpu cooler when you're not going to overclock anyway?
>>
>>52708031
Because it gets hot as fuck in my apartment in the summer.

I've seen some GPUs that list a system capable of 450 watts as a requirement. Do GPUs really use that much energy? Do they only use this much when under a full load?

>>52708456
It wasn't that bad actually, but you can save quite alot of money by changing things like the ram, motherboard, power supply, etc.
>>
>>52708660
Well the RAM i already have. Just wanted to list that for people to tell me it's shit and I should get a new set
>>
>>52708679
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yr62Hx

Could make it cheaper if you don't need a fully modular power supply and the hyper 212.
>>
>>52708679
No need to get a new set. They're just a bit expensive.
>>
>>52708947
Wow that is definitely cheaper. I'd never considered a micro case, I guess because I have no experience with them. Are they harder to work with in any way? Is it not going to be hotter/louder? Only concerned because my apartment in the summer is a heat trap
>>
>>52708584
>Skymeme

Yes. You can make that build alot better.
>>
>>52709075
Yes, it might be a bit harder. But since you went with a fully modular PSU, there shouldn't be too many cables everywhere. Choosing a case is very subjective. Some cheap cases are the Cooler Master N200 and the Corsair Carbide 200R
>>
>>52709075
I don't think it's going to be too hot or too loud. I added two case fans. I think you'd be fine even with just the stock cpu cooler.
>>
>>52709075
go for a carbide 200r or a deepcool tesseract if you want an atx case for around the same price
>>
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vTCCjX

I have a case with a PSU in it, but it isn't listed on the site. Should this build be good enough for rendering 3d animations?
>>
>>52708584
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/t89ncf

If you really need hyperthreading and 16gb ram. You can choose any case you want but this one is a pretty good deal.

For real?

It's what I have for my budget.

It would be over my budget if I had to import the good parts from overseas.

I feel bad for people that have a Micro Center near them. Overpaying for your processor must suck.

Don't buy skymeme. It's not worth it the extra cost. What are you going to do with the PC? If it's just for gaming, you won't need hyperthreading or overclocking. You won't need 16GB ram either and DDR4 barely does any difference at all when gaming.
>>
>>52709833
Pretty good.
>>
>>52709833
i personally hate the case, but everything else is solid. the hyper 212 evo is a meme cooler, though.
>>
>>52709833
Skylake is not worth the money at all. Neither is DDR4 ram since it doesn't make any difference when gaming. Overclocking the cpu barely makes little to no difference when gaming.
>>
>>52709907
$120 6600k is worth it to me senpai

Though you're right, I probably won't bother OC'ing but I want the option later on desu
>>
>>52709890
Thanks. Any other case that's not huge? s340 is the smallest mid tower I could find.
>>
>>52709938
Didn't see the price. Sorry.

>>
>>52709833
Youre throwing money with skylake and ddr4, but if you're going to keep it as it is without upgrading it may be worth it, maybe a better power supply so you don't have to worry about it when you change the graphics card in a couple years.
>>
>>52710104
>better power supply
won't power consumption of a single 2018 card be similar if I want to play 2018 games at 1080p/2k/4k?

how is a microATX tower smaller than a full ATX? am i reading this right?
>pic related
>>
>>52710176
Maybe, but you never know, i had my pc untouched for 3 years, and everything held up great, except for the damn 500w power supply.
But it's a pretty good build just to leave it unchanged for a couple years.

>>
>>52707470
that processor is old as fuck. it can barely play new games. i had an athlon 260 from a build from like 2010. upgrade to FX-6300 AT LEAST. or pay twice as much for the slightly better intel equivalent
GPU: GTX 750, GTX 950 and AMD R7 360 are the best value GPUs right now. if you are going to spend less than 100€ on some shitty outdated graphics card you might aswell look for second hand stuff. (got my HD 7850 that way for just 60€)
also check benchmarks online to see the value of what you buy! cpubenchmark and videocardbenchmark.com are excellent sites for this.
>>
>>52710296
microATX fits on microATX cases. most cheap motherboards are microATX.
they fit on normal ATX cases too ofc
>>
>>52710466
i fucked up my question. define mini only supports matx boards but it is bigger than s340 which supports up to atx. what gives?

Buddy gave this to me a couple years ago because he decided to build some fucking fancy Koenigsegg PC.

Anyway, I know all of the stuff is at least a few years old, but I really need a new case, everything on this one is wearing out, and it's dented and shit from him being a slob.

What are good cases for around 75 bucks? I don't need windows or LEDs or anything, just something with cable management and good fan placement because the one I have now has NONE and it's hot as fuck 24/7.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LYwDBm

This one has a 980 Ti and is also a bit cheaper.
The Xeon is basically a cheaper i7. It has hyperthreading and everything. Overclocking cpu is very overrated.

You could make it even cheaper by switching to a cheaper case.
>>
>>52710855
Get a 980 Ti instead or downgrade to a 970/390. The 980 really isn't worth the money,
>>
Have we gotten to the point of not even fucking with hdds unless it's for important documents?

Your processor is old as fuck. Upgrade to an AMD FX 6300 or Intel i3-4170. For GPU, either go used or R7 360, 370/ GTX 950
>>
>>52706169
I got that same CPU Cooler and the same CPU. I OCed my CPU to 4.5ghz and it only got to 50° C. That cooler and CPU are fucking amazing and the cooler is simple to set up. Otherwise list looks good. Hope you have fun!

Pic related is my current PC, I want to shrink it down to ITX but at the moment decent ITX boards with wireless built in are like gold dust. Should I wait until Summit Ridge drops? Or just stick to what I have and get Polaris to replace my buyers remorse 780?
>>
>>52712436
One thing Skylake did well was Overclocking. Also gust general improvements as per usual.
>>
>>52712985
I love my pc, but after spending all the cash on fans, the high end mobo, etc. it was disappointing.

With that kind of OC I could have had some rinky $70 board and a stock cooler. The shit doesn't even heat up, it just won't go.a
>>
>>52713058
Yeah, luckily I made sure to research every single part and what it would do, I knew the fan cooler was 3000+ RPM, so it would have no trouble keeping things cool, and my GPU has 3 fans on it from Powercolor and it's stays under 70 under max load.
