It's not worth it. Your system is still very good, maybe change the GPU if you feel like you need it but other than that wait 1-2 more years.

Guys

I'm building my first PC after ten years. I'm not gaming, I just want to have a PC at home that I can use as a server and to run scripts. It should be cheap, like <500 EUR.

So I was thinking to buy an i3-7320. Would it have any benefits to buy an i5-7400 instead? I figure not because shitty single thread performance. Anyone got experience?

H60 AIO is trash, mobo is overpriced gaming trash, why not Toshiba P300 and Corsair keyboards are mediocore at best.
>>
>>58806023
>I won't get much of a performance boost

There's a good chance you'll actually get worse performance unless your plan is to wait for games that can utilize 16 threads (good luck with that).
Replacing a 4790k in a gaming machine right now is basically throwing money down the drain. If you desperately want to spend money on memes, then buy a better GPU; it's still a retarded way to spend money but you'll actually see a noticeable performance boost there.
>>
I'm looking for an either mid-tower or mATX case for the new mobo/processor. Gonna be either 7600K or 7700K, likely not gonna bother with overclocking, needs to fit 28cm x 14cm GTX 1070 in it. Priority on silence though with fair airflow for gaming. White or metallic color preferred over black. What are my options?

You both forget that OC requires Z270 which costs twice as much as B250 therefore renders K CPUs completely cost in effective if not OCd.
Also requires better PSU and HSF.

Bulldozer never ever had pre-release benchmarks showing that it was on par with Intel (same core/thread amount).

Also if you're looking for gayming performance, frequency has pretty much no impact nowadays.

Also what >>58806979 said, if you want to have that "option", you will have to spend a lot more money than just the CPU.
>>
>>58806979
Fair enough. I like the option for OCing to be there especially if the chassis has enough room for proper airflow, but I guess it's worth looking at how much money you could save by going, say, i5 7600 and B250 instead of the K version and Z270.

>>58805838
I'm generally a person who likes small and minimalism, but next pc I want to build will be something like that.

Big huge case, but zero sata storage drives or disc drives, strictly M.2 storage, and I'll buy a modular PSU so that I can unplug all of the unused SATA power cables that I will not be using. The machine will be huge and empty on the inside, just things directly connected to the motherboard.

Why? I like having all that free open space. The first computer I ever built was a fucking mess of cables. This was during an era where we used those wide IDE cables and everything was a fucking mess. Upgrading the ram was a huge hassle, you had to weave your way through cables like it was an amazon jungle.

>Falling for the Titan meme.

Two GPU's in one card is always considered SLI.
Most clocking programs or games support SLI properly.
Card is most likely to burn out if the fan is not set manually to maximum on full load.
SLI has worse frame timing due to having two GPU's try to weave though frames for your monitor.
Did I meantion Titan series was one card two GPU SLI?

1080 runs cooler and has better no load.

You are going to not use your WD than go for the SSD replacement. Don't go for the SATA 2tb HDD as the boot drive, or it would just take almost 3 times as long to run. WD external drives work the same or perhaps better because of USB 3.0.
>>
>>58807546
>I've been a bunch of days looking to upgrade my pc with a really tight budget

The best option is to wait. I bought a Titan Z (700 series and current best) before the 1080 came out, and Titans were just two GPU's in one card for almost twice as much but less overall performance in FPS timing.

Taking a 6700/7700k from stock clocks to 4.6-4.8 GHz will grant you an extra 1-2 FPS at best in the vast majority of modern games.
Face it, CPU overclocking for gaming is a meme if you have one less than 5 years old.

for the AIO, Corsair H100i v2 or Corsair H60 as corsair has a pretty good track record in reliable aio's. Fractal design is a really good company to go to for watercooling support in cases, so Define R5 or Define C depending on your needs and how crazy you're going.

>>58807999
Yes. There are two kinds of switches. multiple inputs and multiple outputs.

>>58808176

>>
>>58807999
>I only want to use screen at a time.
One screen at a time or both screens at a time?
There are certain switches that have one input and two output, but depending on the model they are either in mirrored display mode or selective display mode (one output only). If you want two different outputs to two displays, you're going to need to use multiple VGA/DVI/HDMi/DP ports, since your computer will only recognize a single display output with a switch.
>>
>>58806023
I had similar feelings, but instead of wasting money I built a dedicated Lubuntu Samba server. It is essentially a NAS, but with a few more features. It has 5TB, 2x HGST 2TB Ultra star and a 1 TB WD green, low power processor and 8gb RAM.
It is nice because now my main machine has only SSDs in it, the cable routing, airflow and autism aesthetics are all better.

The only thing you need upgrading is maybe the GPU, and PSU sleeves can be nice.
>>
>>58808413
no, I literally mean one display at a time.
long story short, I have a tv and a wacom cintiq, both use hdmi, and I have access to only one hdmi port on my gpu. I don't want to switch the cable constantly from tv to cintiq, I'd rather just press a button to switch the display from tv to cintiq.

>>58808201

>>58810142
Keep fans below 1000 rpm for as long as possible. Only ramp them up once the CPU temperature hits 50, and do so with ~10% increments every 5 degrees so you can audibly tell how hot your CPU is getting after 50 degrees.
>>
>>58810493
why <1000rpm ?
>>
>>58810142
Now if you're going for low temperatures at high overclocks, you'll want to ramp the fans up a lot sooner before you hit 50 degrees. Maybe hit 65% rpm by 50 degrees and exponentially increase fan speeds until you reach 90-100% for temperatures beyond 65 degrees.
>>
>>58810586
>>58810493
Is this fine ? I don't plan on manual OC, anythings that stock will stay like that, I'm just pissed that with stock fan control after a while fans start blowing up like jets
>>
>>58810577
Most fans stay quiet below that speed because the pressure at the end of the fan blades are just low enough to prevent wind noise (or that whirring sound you hear fans make, which is all caused by pressure differences in the air caused by fan blades). Depending on the fan design (and spacing between the blades), you can hear this wind noise slowly develop at around 900 rpm before it gets noticeable by 1100 rpm.
>>
>>58810629
Fan speed is too low for beyond 40 degrees in my experience. What cooler are you using?
>>
>>58810659
MSI RX 480 gaming X
>>58810659
Stock cooling doesn't even start before 50C, literally the fans are 0%, I don't think this should be too low

>>58810678
Oh, I thought you were talking about a CPU cooler.
In that case, ignore most of what I said and keep fans off up to 50 degrees and start the fans at 40% RPM.
In my experience with the older MSI TwinFrozer R9 380X at it's factory OC:
>below 50 degrees
40% maximum
>55 degrees
47%
>60 degrees
56%
>~63 degrees
65%
>65 degrees
75%
>beyond 70 degrees
80% or more
Change at your own discretion.

Hey guys, i'm looking to finish up my build and am hoping to get some help with balancing and final touches.

This is my current build (all the parts are available in the same, local store):

it is based on the build i had help make:

anyways, to the questions:

Am i overpaying for the Mobo?

Am i cheaping out too hard on the PSU?

Is the 750 EVO a bad call?

Okay, roast me. New to overclocking, do I need a better cooler? Don't think I'll be doing anything insane though.
>>
>>58812962
Get a TV the same size and resolution for $100
Set vsync and play until you forget about the slight lag
I mean it's not ideal but if you're waiting for "the good monitor" to be possible this is a great super-cheap option to hold you over
$400 could get you a top of the line 27" 1080 monitor, if you can't get 1440p i assume you can't get 144hz, so why spend more on a monitor with TV specs and a little lag, where the whole point is that there's better features and specs on a monitor than a TV
>>
>>58812985

DX12 is going to make all those cores finally matter
>>
>>58813024
This will allow you for some basic/decent OC, the build itself is solid, just swap the GS for a G2 or preferably a G3, either way 550W is more than enough.
Also think about getting a RX480 8G instead the 1060 and maybe a smaller case, full towers consume much space and if you don't utilize the drive bays etc. then why get one?
>>
>>58813063
I'd recommend upgrading your gpu to be able to use any monitor you buy to run at it's specifications
OR get a 1080@60 monitor that is flicker free, bezelless and other gimmicks that will look premium and use that, maybe even a 16:10, that should run you like 250 or so
I personally have BL2420PT, it's 1440p, flicker free 100%sRGB, costs like 200+, IPS, works for me
>>
>>58813070
7700k doesn't need a $60 cooler at normal overclocks
And not everybody just uses their PC as a nice video game console, maybe he runs solidworks for his homework or is interested in Inventor for 3D printing shit, and just happens to want to play 1080p fallout as well?
$1k is not a bad price for a 7700k and 1060 build, same price range you'd expect for skylake
>>
>>58813047
I'm used to playing /vr/ shit on a sony bvm d24. I need some thing that will match the butter smooth crt. I thought the benq would be better for that.

i mean, you're not wrong, i just went by the assumption he wanted to use it for vidya and general use, since nothing was specified, in which case i think he might be better off with a i5-7600k to better match the GPU, or upping to a 1070, and full tower is a very large amount of empty space desu

If you're at 144hz but only getting 100fps you'll get screen tearing, the "jaggies" that appear for split seconds
Gsync or freesync would fix that and make 60-144fps all feel fine, but that can get expensive and I feel like you're not trying to lock yourself into your GPU brand of you want to upgrade the GPU eventually

MSI is always a solid choice, someone will probably write more informatively but you should just google, there are numerous comparisons done, and even then it will go down for personal preference on what the cards offer, for example on my RX 480 MSI featured 0% fans while not gaming and ASUS featured case fan headers
>>
>>58813398
I'd say the cheapest. Cooling isn't the limiting factor on Pascal (watercooled 1070s don't really clock higher than a budget 1070), and money is always useful to save
I got a $380 Gigabyte Windforce OC 1070 and clocked it to 2100MHz on stock voltage with zero issues at all, never goes past the 70°'s

Warranty is longer from the retailer than from the manufacturer
It was quiet, fans were and still are off half the time, and even with the extra heat and the maxed fan curve it's fairly quiet (because it was actually so quiet stock, I was completely fine with using "turbo fans" when I relly don't need to)
Under 75° during benchmarks seems good to me
Any more points to make?
>>
>>58813493
What 4:3 gaming monitor exists?
Or is the point that pros don't actually use 4:3 when better 16:9 monitors exist?
I don't play games to be better than other people playing games in out of the loop
>>
>>58813398
Get EVGA's hybrid. Their coldplate attaches to the VRM and it gets better performance running through and through on benchmarks insofar as frame-dropping than either Corsair's (MSI) or Gigabyte's solutions. Acoustically it is in the middle, but because the cold-plate is on the VRM in addition to the blower it is by far the most stable option. What's best is it's actually the cheapest, and with that said easily the best, especially if you want OC overhead.

There's not reason to use 4:3 for cs, there are TONS of 16:9 gaming monitors, like the anon above stated that pros use xl2411 or some other gaming monitor
4:3 is the easiest pleb filter on steam when fags write on their profile that they use this "pro setup of 4:3 and lowest settings" for that 600fps on their 60hz shitty monitors

I have never, ever broken a USB or micro USB port or cable and I use them every day, but all I can hear on /g/ is "oh em gee what flimsy garbage, I broke the sixth microUSB this month!"

Fucking troglodytes.

final bump, nobody? shit, at this point i'd be happy with a "nah, looks good, dawg".

i feel like its pretty solid, just really not sure on the PSU and Mobo
>>
>>58814793
Yeah new PSU for sure, 80+ bronze at least, 500w is low but enough for that build
Do you really need 32GB of ram? 2x8 will save you $100

>>58814839
wops, mb, fucked up adding the parts to pcpartpicker, im deffinetly getting 16gb ram, must have fat fingered.

on PSU's, i'd be happy to pay a little extra to make sure it doesnt die in a month, and doesnt make more noise than my d15, do you have any reccomendations from this site?
(presorted, price ascending)

>>
>>58814793
>just really not sure on the PSU and Mobo
Mobo is fine but PSU is guaranteed housefire. Be Quiet makes good PSUs but this one is no better than the Corsair CX/builder trash.
Since you're from the US just get the EVGA G3, it's the best PSU under 100 bucks with excellent performance and value.
The NH-D15 is excellent, but if you want to safe a few bucks you can get the NH-U14S. No idea on what kind of OC you want, though.
Samsung 750 Evo is decent but why no 850 Evo? I'd upgrade it. Also, what do you need 32GB RAM for? It's total overkill.
The GPU is okay i guess, but that PCB review guy on YouTube found some.. weird stuff with it, so no idea. Could swap for a Zotac AMP! Extreme or Asus STRIX.
>>
>>58814719

In 2017, yes. More and more games are incorporating hyperthreading, and the whole "i5 is fine for gaming" thing is not so accurate anymore.

Just bought a 480 a few hours ago for $229 with $30 MIR
>>
>>58815103
thanks for going through the full list, im sadly from Denmark, which explains a few alternative picks.

PSU: i read very mixed reviews, so not sure, ill upgrade it and am deffinetly willing to spare some extra dollaridoos to avoid an exploding vacum cleaner.

Memory: dont need 32gb, just missclicked that instead of the 16gb version when i converted it from the site im buying from. (>>58814926)

SSD: 750 Evo, was told theres hardly any difference, but the price difference is 35$, you think i should upgrade?

GPU: really? thats deffinetly the first i've heard of it, picked this one based on its praised performance, temperature, and easy overclock(havent done that before on a gpu). AMP! and STRIX cost the same, you think i should switch? if so, which would you pick?

again, thanks a lot for the help, really appreciated since its my first ever build

See if you can find a EVGA G2/G3, Super Flower Leadex II, SeaSonic G, Corsair RMx or Be Quiet Dark Power Pro.
>you think i should upgrade?
What's our budget? If you have the money do it, the 850 is the best price/performance SSD in the "premium" range of normal SSDs.
>GPU
Honestly? Idk. The Xtreme has no glaring issue like the Gigabyte RX480 G1 has, but imho Gigabyte doesn't make the best or most trustworthy GPUs.
They skimped on the RX cards and the 1060 Xtreme (1070 shouldn't be that much of a difference) has some weirdness to it, you better watch the vid and then decide:

Corsair RMx Series RM550x ($113)

EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 ($120)

keep in mind electronics just cost a bit more here in general, either of those sound good?

The RX 480 is like 200 bucks, what's the point of getting anything below that?
>>
I don't know what to look for when buying a motherboard.

It doesn't directly affect performance because all the components that slot into it are what do that.
I don't know which are the good brands, and there's a fuckton of models for each that apparently have very similar slots (or quantity of slots).

How do I become a smart mobo buyer?
>>
what games even use hyperhtreading
>>
>>58816043
Start with price. If you aren't overclocking any chipset is good. Look at reviews. Check if it has all the features you need. Does it have all the SATA, USB, PCIe, etc ports/slots you need? As for brands, the big ones are ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte. Again, check reviews. A lot of the cheaper ones will usually have complaints of boards arriving dead or breaking within a few months.
>>

>>58806063
>I don't get how since Ryzen has been shown to perform on par with Skylake and Kaby Lake

no it hasn't. ryzen performed on par with has/broadwell in a canned benchmark in an AMD marketing presentation. real world performance will most likely be worse than that.

>and the RX 480 outperforms the GTX 780

the 480 is a midrange card and will fall off in relevance in 1-2 years, you're better off buying a 1080ti or whatever AMD's equivalent ends up being when they launch in ~6 weeks.

Problem with these is the proprietary PSU. Only way to get a non proprietary workstation GPU like a 1060 in there is to run a second power supply.

This one also looks like a proprietary case setup that would require some work to even get a 1060 in there before you can tackle the power issues.

t. My last build was a ghetto rigged HP Z400

anyone regret getting a 1440p monitor as a second monitor? I tried out a 30" 2560x1600 display in anticipation of purchasing a 27" 1440p display and I really didn't see the hype. I feel like having two 24" 1080p monitors would be better than one of each.

Surely that'll decrease the 400 series' price, right?
I might wait until then because I'm stingy like that and I'm in no rush to go past 1080p anyway.
>>
Is the Dell S2716DG still a solid pick for 1440p 144hz gsync?

My screen is just a generic VGA AOC thing, not particularly good even.
I wanted to get a 480, but I wasn't sure which adapter would have the least lossy results in terms of quality when converting to VGA, and preferrably not catch fire or melt.
Just to be sure, the DVI on those cards takes an adapter with a full row of pins and a flat one on the end with nothing around it, right? That's what I got from it being DVI-D.

I plan on offsetting the cost of this by selling what I currently have to my brother. Is this fine for light 1080p? I don't plan on going up in resolution nor do I care about the newest games, really the hardest thing it's going to do is over watch (probably)

Waiting for Ryzen is stupid, because technology will just keep progressing. Next thing /g/ will tell you to wait for Coffeelake by 3rd quarter 2017 then Cannonlake in 2018. Then who knows what AMD will come out with next.

>>58817753
going with a Hyper 212 EVO or H7 is overkill for stock clocks(not that it's a bad thing), and stock coolers are loud, especially under load with the small heat sink and small fan. you are looking for something to get your computer to STFU, so you go with small cooler, with big fan.

Not exactly build related but somebody might know. The fans on my MSI 970 are starting to run down so I'm just looking to replace them myself. It's a 4-pin connector but I can't find the exact same model number anywhere for a decent price (or non-shady website). The Twin Frozr blades from the 200 line AMD/700 line GTX look like they'd fit (Same dimensions, 4-pin connector).

Should be fine, right?

>>58816012
If they are upgrading the GPU in an older system in an effort to keep it going for another year or two then a 480 is probably overkill.
