Post your component list, rate other anons', and ask questions in general.

Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA.
If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Assemble your parts list; built-in price comparisons by vendor and a compatibility filter.

>>59177667
Also, imo you could save money on the case and get an i5 instead of an i3. The case you picked out has a psu included and I see you're buying a seperate one. Get the 500w psu and find a 40-50 dollar case. Check out pcpartpicker.com you can check compatibility as you pick parts.

Yeah, make sure they are connected properly and refer to the psu manual to make sure that you connected the right ones.

Another possibility is that your psu is DOA, but this can be tested if there is a test light on the back of it (just plug it in)

Hello,
im browsing this thread:
http://www.overclock.net/t/1623768/will-you-be-building-a-new-ryzen-rig-what-have-you-decided-on
And im looking at the Ryzen-Builds in that thread.

Im a bit confused, because there a many builds with 3000/3200MHz RAM with mainboards that only support 2666 RAM speed like the
ASUS X370 PRIME PRO
Asrock X370 Taichi

Is this a mistake?

This is my build:

>>
>>59178397
Yeah some psu come with a tiny green light bulb that lights up when plugged in. I guess the one you bought doesn't have it.

Have you looked to see if there are any lights on your mobo that turn on?
>>
>>59178374
The uefi will underclock the ram to a lower frequency if there are limitations
>>
>>59178510
I don't know what a mobo is, but no lights turn on anywhere.
>>
>>59178548
It's just short for motherboard.

Try to redo the system panel header wiring. A lot of people make mistakes with that.

If that fails I would advise you to bring the pc to a tech so they can look at it in person, but if the rewire fails I would just say either the psu or mobo are DOA

Get an R9 fury. They're $235 for 85-95% the performance of a 1070 for almost half the price.

Or if you don't care about the performance/cost, you should be buying a 1080Ti.

>>59178772
Same to you, unless R9 fury are $500+ in dollarydoos.

>>59177822
Why is that RX480 so expensive? Is that XFX especially good? I'm used to XFX making shit products.
You can get a Fury for that, or get a RX480 for around $160-$185 by buying one that's on a flash sale.

So, I built my current PC back in late September.

6700k, MSI 1070 are the 'main' parts.

Honestly, are they worth selling at this point in time?

It's just that I kept my last PC for 4+ years, and of course the parts are worth nothing now. But this time around, I want to swap n' change my parts, making sure that they have good resale value. I just don't really know when I should go about doing it.

For reference, I paid £230 for the i7 (boxed new from a friend), and £350 for the 1070 (used for a few days for benchmarks)

Thanks!

So my friend is utterly convinced that the GTX 1060 is better than the RX 480. How do I prove him wrong?
>>
>>59182736
>How do I prove him wrong?
Show him benchmarks.
>>
>>59179222
this is probably the best RX 480. It has the best overclocking capability, great cooler with swapable fans, and 8gb VRAM.

The Fury is a good card still, but I think you have it mistaken with the Fury X. The Fury and the 480 are about on par, but the 480 has more VRAM.
>>
>>59180351
If you think it does, just overclock.
>>
>>59177604
Is it a good time to buy? I have enough money for the system I want to buy. Is waiting for Ryzen 5 and Vega worth it?
>>
I will personally be waiting until R5 since the current Intel chipset is on the way out. AMD is cheaper and if the benchmarks are correct has been outperforming the Intel CPUs. Might as well just go Ryzen and wait a couple months.

I was wondering if my build justifies me getting a 144hz monitor. I would really like another monitor (current one is a joke) so that I may dual-monitor, hopefully triple one day, and I remember a year ago lots of people saying that you shouldn't get anything under 144hz.
>>
>>59184805
Well if you want to cut costs, getting a small m.2 for your OS and using a regular hdd for storage wouldn't hurt. The 1080ti comes out next week, so the non-ti version is going to drop in price with it. Like I said before, getting a mid tower would probably be better for you, in addition to a lower price tag.
>>
>>59184814

980ti because my r9 290 wasn't enough for 144hz

i'm looking to build a super cheap workstation that i can upgrade as i get more work. I currently just need something to run Photoshop/Ilustrator, a basic IDE, and other misc. tasks.

I think i'm on the right path with this build, but i'm wondering if i should upgrade to a better mobo to get faster I/O and usb c/3.1

i work for a digital marketing company doing design and light web dev and my girlfriend needs a box she can do her graphic design work on.

Should i build this, or should i save a bit and get a better mobo? I want to add a graphics card, and eventually add more memory and get a better processor, but for now i just need something that boots and will let me get my work done.

>>59187635
Yeah that's weird that it's quiet then. My ATH M50x's are loud as fuck in the center channel. If the impedance is high on yours though then you're going to need something to drive it for sure. I'd check out hpg, they'll be able to help on amp vs soundcard as I honestly have no clue.
>>
>>59187667
well this might have something to do with it:
>m50x listed impedance: 38 ohms
>mdr-v6 listed impedance: 63 ohms

sounds like i definitely need a soundcard then.

For like 20 euros more you could get the Sapphire Nitro RX480 my dude. You could get the g4560 pentium instead of the i3-6100 and spend the 50-60 ish dollars you save on a SSD or 8 more gigs of ram.

You could get Ryzen and then another upgrade in 2 years would be a lot cheaper since you won't have to change the motherboard.

ffs the reference r9 fury is 35%+ better than the reference RX480.

It doesn't matter how good of an RX480 that is. It's not as good as an R9 Fury.

In the $180-$350 range, the r9 fury is the only graphics card you should get it. Nothing has been in that price range for months that competes.

RX480 and 1060 only becomes worth it under $180 and 1070s haven't dropped under like $320 when they need to be well under $300 to compete.

$590 for a 1080 lol

Why don't you get a 1080Ti?

And I don't think that board will run 4200 RAM reliably.

Get some 3200-3600 that's low cas latency.

No, AIO coolers suck. Get a Noctua or Be Quiet! Make sure your rAM heatsinks have clearance. I prefer getting RAM without heatsinks and putting my own heatsinks on.

I'd do this plus get an RX470 for $110.75 https://jet.com/product/ASUS-ROG-STRIX-Radeon-RX-470-4GB-OC-Edition-AMD-Gaming-Graphics-Card-with-DP-14-/b5a0eed5f59e4460965bb264e3d46c24

Then upgrade to Ryzen (and Vega) later. Only waste like $120 to have an okay gaming PC as you wait. Plus you'll be able to resell that G4560 and motherboard for probably 75% what you paid for them 3 months later because Ryzen 5 isn't going to tank the value of Pentiums like it will the i3, i5, and i7s.

Guys I think I fucked up big time.

I recently bought an i5 7600k with a Z170 mobo without putting much thought into it. Apparently, Z1Z0 mobos need a BIOS update in order to work with Kaby Lake CPU's.

Does this mean that I just need to put the BIOS (which I found online) on a flashdrive and boot it accordingly to update? I read somewhere that I might need to use a Sky Lake CPU to boot it at all, in which case I'm fucked since I don't have one and will have to return the mobo for a Z270. But another source said it might work without it so I'm not sure.

Pls help.
>>
>>59191892
You're fucked.

There are boards that can update without a CPU. They are rare and I think only ASUS did it, but I can't remember.

Just return it and buy a 270 unless you know someone with a skylake chip and they are cool enough to let you use it.

I just installed my acx 1070ftw after reading up about it, and freaking out thinking I needed to crack it open and lay $30 worth of fujipoly. I looked down the edges and there are shitloads of thermal pads all over the place. Some early ones had a problem with too thin pads not touching the vRAM all over or at all, and of course the mosfet/choke circuit was left out too, but mine has good thick pads everywhere I can see. It'll be fine. Although if I had the chance I'd order a different one, to be fair, I just hate returning things. Evga's response to the issue - advance rma for anyone who wants it - is pretty good. They'll send you free pads so you can fix it, or put the pads in for you, or just send you a new one. The big goof was turning down the fan speed to make them quieter, it just combined with the lack of TIM to make a housefire of an issue. Any card made after november I think will be fine.

>>59192511
It's at least 35% better.
It's roughly equal at 1440p as the RX480 is at 1080p.

If you can get an RX480 at like $150-$160, that's better for the money. Or even $180, if you're just doing 1080p 60hz.

It's 85-95% as good as the 1070, depending on the game, and you know the 1070 is significantly better than the RX480.
I believe it actually handedly beats the 1070 with Doom Vulkan at 4K. So yeah, it's a really great card and amazing value.

The 1070 won't either.

The Fury will at least do 60fps in Doom Vulkan.
You need a 1080Ti or Titan XP for a consistent 60fps across a variety of games.
Or, Vega, obviously. That's why the R9 Fury is a nice holdover until Vega/Volta drop.

This is awful advice.

1. With a Pentium, you're bottlenecked not only in games, but normal tasks.
2. You will be stuck on the Intel platform of CPUs unless you decide you're okay with also buying a new motherboard.
3. If you do as this anon says, then you'll be on the hook for selling a Pentium and possibly a motherboard. Selling a 6600k used on the other hand, or any unlocked i5 really, is pretty easy because they are popular CPUs.

What's good about the 6600k is it's cheap, it's good, it's easily overclocked, and the supported motherboards are abundant and cheap. It still benchmarks as one of the best CPUs on the market.

Alright, guys. I've got a pretty interesting problem at hand and I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. I already tried doing a lot of research on my own and multiple other sites seem to be filled with faggots. According to them unless you drop $1000 on a PC you're just wasting money, but I digress.
My situation is this: I have an old i7-960 CPU, and I just got an RX 480 GPU for gaming.
Can anyone help me out to find the cheapest CPU that won't bottleneck my new card? The reason I need it to be cheap is because I need to upgrade my motherboard as well as RAM, which I have calculated will cost $260 without the CPU. So which CPU should I buy?

>>59192921
The G4560 is not going to bottleneck you past 60fps in the vast majority of games.

And it's cheap, replaceable, good resale value to upgrade to Ryzen or Coffelake.

It's amazing advice, you're just too stupid to understand it.

>What's good about the 6600k is it's cheap, it's good,
4 threads for $200 plus an overpriced motherboard with no upgrade path. That CPU+Motherboard alone is almost as much as the entire computer for what I listed. Fuck off, retard.

Ryzen 3 when they come out would be the cheapest that won't bottleneck your card.
Go with an 8thread to be safe if you can afford the extra $40 or whatever it ends up being, too.

poorfag coming through with a question, a bit of a noob too. I got an older rig with an i5 2500 3.3ghz CPU.

Looking to get a XFX RX 480 GTR 8gb. Is there even a point with my current CPU? or will I be running into a massive bottleneck?

Also I'd be upgrading from a GTX570. Anyone know the power difference between these two? I've Googled it but see different answers for the power consumption.

Thanks.

Hello, /pcbg/

I need help building my first PC. Looking for a budget limit of $1,000 plus preifierals for a first build (monitor, keyboard, ect). Would anyone be able to help me out? Will mostly be using this for gaming and some work/writing. Furthermore, I don't want to be overclocking it either so a build without that would be good.

Thanks!

If the only thing you want to upgrade is the CPU, then no.

take a look at a xeon x5650 or x5675, they are 40usd and 80usd each and are compatible with your mobo i think. They are 6 cores 12 threads cpus and when oced they perform like a 3770

The RX480 has virtually identical performance to the 390X.
Everyone knows that except for morons like you.

Go look up other benchmarks. They'll show the same thing. I'm not here to tutor retards that can't use google.
>>
>>59193110
Buy a Ryzen 7 now instead. The cheapest one is $329 and there are motherboards under $100.

Otherwise wait. i3, i5, and i7 are all horribly overpriced.

The fuck are you talking about?

The R9 Fury is only $235

Good job being unable to read. You're as stupid as the other guy, assuming you're not the same person.
>>
>>59193252
Um... it roughly matches a $1050 CPU in workstation and rendering tasks, and is 97% the same performance in gaming as the $330 i7-7700k, so what do you think?

Are you being serious, or what?
>>
>>59193271
So i should get the 7700k?
>>
>>59193253
I'm not, you're just fucking retarded. The R9 Fury can range anywhere from $260 to $400. On the other hand, RX 480s go from $200 to $250. They are not the same price. A simple google search can tell you this. You are a fucking moron.

i have this g4560 + rx470 build i'm considering, but some friends are suggesting an AMD build, arguing that pentium is shit and blah blah blah.

i have no idea about which is better or not. should i stick to the 4560 build?

>>59193640
Serious question?
They cost a bit more to produce. It's related to density, layers, and die area.
But intel, for example, makes somewhere around 7-13 processors which are binned down into the many dozens of SKUs.
The..
i7: 7700k, 7700, 7700T
i5: 7600k, 7600, 7600T, 7500, 7500T, 7400, 7400T
i3: 7350k, 7230, 7300, 7300T, 7100, 7100T, 7101E, and 7101TE
are all the exact same processor IIRC.
The only difference is the GPU clock is turned down a bit, clocks are turn down, 2 cores are disabled on the i3s. And for the i5s, HT is arbitrarily disabled just so Intel can charge more money for its inclusion.

The i7-7700k costs well under $100 to manufacture/box/ship, but it is the best binned of them. Its MSRP is $330.

The Ryzen surely costs well under $100 to manufacture/box/ship as well.

>>59193677
AMD builds are okay if you need an ultra-budget APU PC. An A10-7870k is going to be better than a G4560 and a RX460, for example.
Also if you go with a Bristol Ridge build, you can have an AM4 motherboard ready to upgrade to Ryzen which saves money in the long run.

>>59193767
Yeah the G4560 is pretty much as good as a i5-7400 or i5-7500 90% of the time. It's the same number of threads, just less cores.

At this point I would only recommend a G4560, i7-7700k, A10-7870k, A12-9800, Ryzen 7, or to wait for Ryzen3/5. Every other option is trash, and while the 7700k is overpriced but if money doesn't matter it's still okay.

That's it, /g/. I'm going with Ryzen 5 (1500 or 1400X) with a XFX GTR RX 480. How badly am I going to be fucked when R5 lands?
>>
>>59194305
I swear to god, what's wrong with you? I didn't say better. They're different options. Where do you get that I said they're equal?
Granted, for $175 you can currently get a G4560+RX470 which is pretty nice given how GPU prices are dropping much harder than APUs.
But the A10-7870k is only $120. And you can get a mobo for about $10 less. And the A10-7870k is a superior CPU to that G4560. Even if it's bulldozer, it's still 4 real cores and about 10% better in most cases. I'd much further recommend trying to get ahold of an A12-9800 though. It works on AM4 motherboards, and is about 20-25% better both CPU and GPU wise.

It depends on your needs. If you want just a temporary PC that can play 99% of games at 1080p low/medium while waiting for something else, and want to use your budget to get a good PSU, SSD, etc for now, it makes perfect sense.

ebay for:

intel box cooler
CT4G4DFS8213 (fast and cheap RAM)
antec earthwatts psu

Craigslist for GPU's
RX 470 - lowball for 120-160
R9 290 - same range perhaps even lower

Get periphs off of ebay as well, I reccomend the following
Mouse - logitech g100s
Keyboard - logitech k120
Mouse pad - Evga for hardmat, kingston for soft (inb4 meme pads)
Monitor you can go with getting used vsonics, aoc, LG or sammys

Lastly, never underestimate the role a good chair and a good desk play. Be very mindful of the relation between the two as well.

happy hunting

The G4560 kicks the shit out of the A10, and same with the RX460. You can get the Pentium and RX for $40 more, which is nothing compared to the increased performance you get.
>>
>>59194493
userbenchmark.com is the worst dogshit. I thought everyone knew that, but apparently this board doesn't.
And again, I said it's an option, not that the A10-7870k is better. They'll both play roughly any game at medium-low settings.
I would typically recommend the G4560 as I have repeatedly in this thread, yes.

You'll get less than a 5% less FPS difference in virtually every game.

Intel's lineup is a joke. It's full of terrible shit just to make you waste money and to make things like the 7700k seem like a decent value when it's not.
The i3-6100 is just there to drive sales of the G4560 and to get rid of junked 7700k silicon.

>>59194822
Either get a G4560, 7700k, or a used 4770k. 6600k is waste of money.
Replace the $260 1060 with a $150-$185 RX480. It's 2% better performance on average for less money.
Corsair low end power supplies are shit now days. They change the supplier. A Seasonic M12II 620W is only $48 and will be more reliable.
Drop the cooler for a Noctua or Be Quiet high end air unless you're a sperg just doing AIO for the memes or you're positive you'll have memory clearance issues.
Mem looks good. MB is fine if you're sticking with LGA1151.
>>
The missing part no. 8 is an i5-6500, I don't know why it's not showing. I apologize for indonesian mudcoin currency, it translates to roughly $1400.

I picked a watercooling for less noise and i'm not sure if it's an error in their pricing but it's like 40$ for an AIO 240mm radiator so why not.

Preorders for the 1080Ti start tomorrow for only a few dollars more.

And why not get a motherboard with build in wifi instead of getting an adaptor? Would probably cost less.
And don't forget you'll need to update that board's BIOS to use a Kabylake CPU like that.

Other than that, looks good. You could also save $75 getting Windows10 key off Kinguin or something, too.
