my cousin becomes 10 in a couple weeks
she wants a switch but ill try to convince her to get a pc ill help make a budget one
id be pro the switch if zelda didnt dip to fukin 20 fps
anyway hows this?

the store im buying from has a be quiet pure power 9 for the same price which is semi modular and silver but its 400w
should i get that or is 400w too low?

Dude the increase from 470 to 480 4GB is twice as much as the increase from 480 4GB to 480 8GB

>>59275687
That means if a future game is 6 fps it would actually suck frames of life from your eyeballs with the 470

If you don't delid, it shouldn't be a huge problem if you don't overclock your CPU all that much. The Kraken x62 will keep temps stable enough.

And why aren't you getting a better CPU in the Ryzen R7 1700 by getting a sata 240GB SSD for $70, and Fury for around $250 ? Because a good CPU will last you longer than a better GPU

It's literally impossible for an unlocked i5 to bottleneck a GPU.

>>59276950
Well sure, but for 60hz gaming a cheaper locked i5 and motherboard will do fine

or even a G4560 will be fine for the most part for 60hz gaming

Is this hard drive large enough? Will mostly be playing video games, watching anime, and doing light writing on it. How is the monitor as well? Will most likely be switching out the 480 for a newer model when the RX 500s come out in April. Any help would be recommended.

>>59276981
It looks fine, but you could drop the SSD and jump to the R7 1700 with one of the $99 B350 boards

Best CPU for LGA775 Socket?

>>59277019
>drop the SSD

No one should build a PC in 2017 without an SSD. It's the single biggest boost to performance you can get.

>>59277019
Aren't SSDs more or less necessary in this day and age though? I mean, I would love to get on the Ryzen train but I feel like an SSD is pretty important.

>>59277023
The core 2 quad extreme? Just get a Q6600, why are you running 775?

>>59277038
>>59277030
You can just add an SSD later? Upgrading the CPU later is much harder.

just split your hard drive with a 150gb partion for the OS, clone it when you get your SSD, and you're all set

>>59277019
Why do you think he would benefit from the cpu ?

>>59276821
Get the XFX GTR RX 480. That or the Sapphire Nitro+.

>>59277055
Mor.

Helps with minimum frame rates at times, is easily worth living on a hard drive for a month or so

>>59277051
but i have the q6600 ;_;
cant afford a new system for a while, i've had this one for a few years now
lot's of sata and an ide port, q6600, just added a usb3 pcie card
need ram, and figured there may be a better cpu

i'm seeing xeon x5460 modded for the 775 a lot on ebay, how's that? or is there a better one?

>>59277051
Moving info from an HHD to an SSD is much harder than moving info from an SSD to an HDD.

>>59277077
Don't waste your money on 775, just save up for Ryzen R3&R5, should be a 4c/4t overclockable CPU for $129 USD

Realistically no one should be getting an i5 build now. Wait a couple of months for the R5 and then make the decision.

i5 prices are almost guaranteed to go down by then.

>>59277086
How so?

>>59277088
>i can spend ~$80 now and get a couple more years if not more out of this PC which works for what I need
>or I can spend "$129" (plus mobo plus ram plus other things I may need) = $300+
hmmm

>>59277086
How so?

>>59277106
Hell if I know, I just tried it in the past and it was a pain to do (had to do a full restart, save my previous memory to an external, then re-input it in the SSD on a factory reset). What information do you have to support that it is as simple as you say it is?

>>59277136
just create an image and install it to the new drive?

>>59276906
A plain fury will not hold up at 1440p and even a fury X barely does

>>59276950
It's not. Most games just don't suffer much from CPU bottlenecks at current resolutions. It's conceivable that his 7600k will be a bottleneck in some future title where the 1700 would not, but at the moment it comes down to the fact that a Kaby Lake core is a little bit faster than a Ryzen core, and tends to overclock better to the order of 800MHz on air. The Ryzen chip would still be around 40% faster at most workloads, and potentially much faster than that in certain special cases, but it's just not a good value proposition for his games. To get a decent OC, he'd also need to have one of the high-end Ryzen boards, which are rather expensive right now due to limited supply and high demand. So, basically, a Ryzen build would cost him almost $200 more for benefits that he might never experience. If he honestly wants to spend another $200, a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM would serve him better.

>>59277125
except ya know, you won't get a couple of years because that $80 CPU will hardly be faster than what you have now

>>59277136
Because a hard drive and SSD aren't any different to the PC when you're doing partitions

Depends what plans you have for your build. If you're the type that upgrades every 2-3 years then just get Intel cause it's faster now.

If you plan on using your CPU for 5+ years then Ryzen 1700 is the only choice. This guy explains everything you need to know:

2.4Ghz vs 3.xGhz plus ram going from 6GB to 16GB (and switching to ssd for OS drive) will make a slight difference, I reckon
it's not just CPU i'll be upgrading

>>59277348
Well if you're going to upgrade more, why not upgrade to a modern platform? If nothing else Ryzen should also have a $199 4c/8t chip that'll be hitting 4ghz

>>59277329
1050 doesn't come in 4gb variants, and the cards are generally even, not to mention there are no 1050s with 6 pin headers, and DX12/Vulkan seem to scale better for AMD

>>59277348
You'll be fine. I still have a pentium e5300 in my office with 4gb ram and a 240gb hdd. It gets the job done

>>59277370

$80 will cover the ram and cpu upgrade from sources i've seen

So I herd that GPUs with blowers that exhaust hot air might be better in ITX cases with low air flow. I realize that I may have to underclock, but I can't find a GTX 1080 with a backplate. Does a backplate really matter if my air flow is crappy to begin with?
I am dead set on a 1080, as the Ti will likely just produce more heat than that which is acceptable. Is this assumption incorrect?
I am using a Fractal Design Node 202.

I'm getting two 1080 Ti's already pre-ordered. How do I connect both of them to the motherboard for best quality/speed? I'll be gaming with my wife using Aster, and running machine learning on it.

Never built pc before, not sure the best way to set up 2 gpu's.

Rampage v edition 10 mobo, 6850k CPU.

I don't know where to start with a build and I could use help.
1. I want to build a server in a tower case with really good hot-swappable storage.
2. I have a NAS that I would like to sync from it too, so it should have some storage.
3. I'd also like it to be a VM server. I won't need many VM's up at once, just store 4-5 and play.

I guess I'm looking for a good motherboard, CPU and maybe case suggestion to get started, and I can figure out the rest. Bonus points if the motherboard has console access over ethernet or serial port

>>59277627
Then get the 1080ti for sure, blower vs dual fan really won't matter, your case should have some vent holes for air flow

Hello fellow ML practitioner

Why are you buying an overpriced TN display? Newegg has a 1080p IPS display with VESA for $75 right now, otherwise they're about $100

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160221&ignorebbr=1

>>59277647
How did you connect them all together?

That's a nice number of cores. What are your training times?

>>59277626
did you actually buy the RAM?

>>59277566
its a 290. Whens Vega? Julyish?

>>59277575
Better than I thought, I guess that's mostly due to the GPU being older?

>>59277633
Why are you getting a 6850k instead of an R7 1700?

>>59277647
What is machine learning even good for?

>>59277664
I was looking for a 24" monitor with low response time. That has neither. If you want low response times, you have to pay for it. At least, that's what I've found.
>>59277673
Yes...? Why?

>>59277690
Better multi core speeds, got it new for 400 on CL

>>59277690
It's good for machine learning. Prediction. Automation. Optimizations. Classifying, labeling, new GAN developments are cool as shit. You can generate images just by typing what you want to see. Sentiment analysis is great too.

I'm more into nlg/nlp myself.

>>59277711
Um no, about all TN displays will have 1ms reponse times, and IPS is generally better than TN for daily use

as for 1ms vs 5ms it won't matter, what matters more for that kind of stuff is refresh rates

buy this 75hz free-sync display instead at least

Just fyi. I'm not >>59277858

>>59277920
>It's hardly different, it's sharper even.
That's not how resolution and display works.
>how a 1080p 60hz display worse than a 1080p 75hz free-sync display for gaming?
Because of the size of the screen you dipshit.

>>59277939
>That's not how resolution and display works.
Yes it is, it's a direct fucking correlation

1080p at 22" is sharper than a 24" 1080p display, it's why a 40" 1080p display looks like shit close up, because the pixels are physically bigger

>Because of the size of the screen you dipshit.
literally makes no real difference given the 2 inch difference, the real difference is in getting a better refresh rate and having free-sync since he's getting a 480 anyways

>>59277970
>literally makes no real difference given the 2 inch difference
There is a big difference between a 22" monitor and a 24" one though. I've had both and a 24" one makes a huge difference.
>the real difference is in getting a better refresh rate
15hz is barely a big leap.

>>59278193
What are your plans for the build? If only gaming / general use then both CPUs are overkill.

You're better off saving CPU & Mobo money and getting a 1070 for gaming.

This is what I would go with in that budget

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vBDvYr

Make no mistake this CPU will last you for 5 years easily. The fact of the matter is that for general use you simply do not need anything more than a $200 CPU.

Just in case. It could have done damage and still be functional, and you just havent noticed, and you dont want to be in a situation months or years later where it finally fails

>>59278426
Don't they test everything that comes in?

>>59278412
I was more so asking about that anon's questioning that I had already bought that RAM, but thanks for that too.

>>59278426
That makes sense. Does that include storage media or just PSU, CPU, GPU, and motherboard, or other expansion cards I don't have.

>>59278444
I only sent my PSU and motherboard in, therefore my GPU and CPU could technically still be broken and I wouldn't know until I can test them with my new motherboard

Currently running a 4GB 770 with an i5 6600K and 16GB RAM. I have a good deal on an R9 290 ($120 USD) and plan on maybe moving my current GPU to a build for my sister. Should I pull the trigger on this? I might end up buying Vega as well when it launches (after the reviews come out) but don't mind having other GPUs laying around.

If I were to get a 1700 for overclocking, X370 Taichi, and RX 480, would I be fine with a 550W PSU or would I have to buy a new one with higher wattage? I don't want to spend more on a new PSU.

Anyone here using XFX GTR 480 ?
Do you have the black edition ? What clock speeds do you get with it ?

>>59278601
You'll be totally fine but just know that CPU is way way way way overkill compared to the GPU.

>>59278601
See >>59278625
Just wait for fucking VEGA. Might as well wait for 1600x as well

>>59278601
Meant see >>59278629

>>59278629
How so?

>>59278629
I'm aware. I plan on keeping the CPU for the lifespan of AM4.

>>59278633
Is Vega gonna have a GPU in the $200-$250 price range? I'm not feeling the RX580 rebrand.

>>59278648
The 550W PSU will be fine for the entire lifespan as long as you keep to midrange GPUs

>>59278657
Cool. I can save those 70-80 bucks then. I'd like a modular PSU but I don't want to pay extra for one if I don't already need it.

>>59278648
Doubt it. I think the lowest price range will be around $450

>>59278648
>>59278648
>Vega gonna have a GPU in the $200-$250 price range?
Lol it will most likely be the rx 580. Or are you referring to the architecture/series?

>>59278672
RX 580 is just a rebrand of the 480

Vega is a totally new architecture and it will most likely only be high end.

>>59278475
Storage media I have no idea. If it has a warrany, ans you havent installed anything important that you can't get off, i would RMA it

>>59278671
>>59278677
Then I'm not waiting for 580. I'm considering waiting for the 1600/X if it launches in April or early May, but I'm not buying any card higher than the 4/580 when I'm still playing games at 1080p and not looking to go higher.

>>59278736
The rx 480 will probably be good until 2019 desu

reposting, budget is 700 but i want to spend less, build is for gaming

>>59279079
gaming?
Just watch some 1440p benchmarks, this monitor has 33% less pixels, so it will do couple FPS more.

>>59279124
For gaming, yeah. I'll check them out, thanks

So here's a question. I'm going to be gaming in 1080 now and maybe 1440 in the future. I'll probably want to max every game, and possibly super sample. Should I hang on to hope for Vega? Or just go with a 8gb 480? I'll also give Nvidia a shot GPU wise but I really don't like their mid tier priced cards- it feels like the 480 is just strictly better value.

Also upgrading from an r9 290.

>>59279033
>MSI 1070 for better cooling

Retard.

>>59279112
desu if I were to build a gaming rig at that budget I'd rather go FX8300.

The Pentium is way faster in single threads but there are games like BF1 where a dual core simply can't keep up anymore.

Especially going forward into 2017 I'm pretty confident the 8300 is the smarter choice.

At the end of the day both will give you perfectly playable 60FPS at 1080p but the 8300 will give you some backup for games that are more multithreaded

Hey /g/,

I've built my PCs primarily for gaming. After being team red for so long I decided to jump ship and take advantage of Intel's sale on its 6600k (copped it for $269 CAD)

In terms of a mobo and after a lot of research I'm kind of set on either the MSI z170 Krait or the Asus z170-a. I've been a really loyal Asus customer, and I've always gone out of my way to pick their shit wherever I could granted the price was decent.

Because of this I'm leaning to the z170a, but I'm now hearing they have surge protection issues with Corsair PSUs (I own a CS650m). Is this something to be concerned about and instead buy the MSI board? Or am I being paranoid?

Man, I am fucking lost when it comes to Ryzen vs i7 7700k. I've heard that streaming is better with Ryzen, then I heard it doesn't matter. I heard gaming is better with an i7, then I heard Ryzen is smoother. Also I heard Ryzen is good at over 1080p gaming

I mean, Seasonic doesn't make any bad PSUs that I'm aware of so it's not like that's a bad choice, but surely with a budget like that you could spend the extra 20 or 30 bucks to get a high-quality 80+ gold PSU instead.

>>59285600
those ratings mean a few percent in energy effeciency and have nothing to do with the quality of the parts

>>59285742
It's 1% of what you're spending in exchange for less heat in the case and longer lifetime for the PSU. Like I said, the seasonic PSU you have right now is no doubt good, but there doesn't seem to be any reason NOT to get a higher efficiency unit with a budget like that.

How much headroom will the 1080ti have @ 4k60Hz? Its a painful amount of money, and it makes even less sense if its going to immediately fall behind in 4k with the next round of new games.

Wait till the 1080 ti releases and the regular 1080 will go down in price to $500 also don't buy the EVGA 1080 its a literal house fire.

Would it be stupid to pair a i7-7700k with a z170 board?

>>59287433
you might need to update the bios before you can use it, and depending on the board, you may need a skylake cpu inside there to do that

>>59287411
Ah thanks. I meant to add that I'm not getting the 1080 Hybrid but a TI. Just put that as a placeholder.

I didn't realize evga cards were that bad. I'll have to read up on it.

>>59287339
If you want to do streaming, the extra cores on ryzen 1700 will definitely come handy, yes.

>>59287449
If the bios is already updated is there any huge disadvantages using a z170 board instead of a z270?

>freesync 2 screens when?

To be fair the upcoming LG32UD99 might qualify but I doubt. All I demand is a 4k HDR freesync screen to go with my upcoming all AMD build. I've got zen on order and vega is the next big unknown but damnit 4K here I come by any means neccessary.

>>59287461
Its just the old EVGA 1070 and 1080 that used the ACX cooling the new ICX ones are fine.

>>59287382
Msi 1070. Was gunna go evga till i found all the crap it has been going through. I know 1070 is overkill for 1080p, but i do eventually want a 1440p monitor, so i figure its worth it.

>>59287571

What is a good monitor for the 1080ti? My budget is about $600 and I've been looking at a refurbished Predator XB271HU or the XF270HUA. Is Gsync that big of a difference? Without it I save 100 bucks and I get a brand new monitor too.

Does Ryzen run PCSX2 / Dolphin / Citra games well? It certainly seems like you're better off buying an i7 for emulation because they use so few cores.

I'm on a budget build with an FX-6300 and I'm wondering if it isn't better to just buy a custom fan and overclock my CPU for better performance than it is to buy a new am4 MOBO.

>>59288129
pretty much any recent CPU will blow Bulldozer the fuck out, including Ryzen
it'll be a major improvement regardless, whether or not you want to upgrade mainly comes down to price/performance
if you're set on AMD and you can live with the 6300 for a while longer I'd hold out for the R5s

The processor is probably overkill for what it actually is going to need to do but what can you really do when you need a motherboard with RAID? That's pretty much as cheap as it gets.

Considering pre-built NAS units are like $700 in the States I'd say this is a pretty good deal. The only thing they have over a homebuilt NAS is cases specifically designed for hotswapping drives.

I heard about some issues regarding kabylake and win7, but not that it doesnt work at all...
I know, not your tech Support. But it happened while finishing the build.

As for me, NF-F12 hasn't enought static pressure too, but I had overclocked my 6700K.
Set a double fan and added mx4, now it takes 60-70C in burn, also NB overheated, still think it's not normal.

It's probably an attempt to recoup the development costs of Vega

Rate please : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YK6tsJ

Anything wrong I should change? Any suggestions?

I heard Nvidia GPU were better than the RX 480 but they're also more expensive. With that said there's still a possibility for me to push the budget and get one instead, but I'm not sure, I feel like the RX should do me well enough for the next couple years.

>>59291844
>I feel like the RX should do me well enough for the next couple years.

It will, but many of the nividia's 1000 series are dropping in price with announcements of the 1080ti/vega. If you're willing to wait just a week longer, I recommend keeping an eye on the 1000 series.

The 1080 has already begun dropping to around 500 dollars, and the 1070 is going under 400.

Hope this cooler cuts it. Couldn't be fucked installing a water cooler.

Thinking of this for my next build. Don't need storage or a power supply. Gonna throw an AIB 1080ti in as well. Thoughts or changes?

>make build on pcpartpicker

>"985 Euro equals 1041.23 US Dollar"

Why is this allowed?

I know it has been asked a million times but:

Gsync worth it or not and for that matter is a 4k monitor even worth it if even 1080s are struggling to keep 60fps on some games.

Or should I just find a 1440p monitor and be happy?

I should mention I don't play competitive shooters, or if I do I play them for fun rather than to climb ranks. Most of what I play is RPGs and casual shooters. But I do love to see the color 'pop' in games.

Can anyone explain PCIE lanes to me?

If I get a motherboard with only 12 PCIE lanes, will it work fine with a 16x graphics card and a 4x m.2 ssd?

SSD are quite expensive. Is it OK to get a SSHD instead?

Can someone tell me whether I should get an RX 480 or a GTX 1060?

I'm gaming on a 1080p monitor, 60Hz
8GB of RAM, i5-6600 3.30Ghz

I can afford either a 1060 (3GB or 6GB) or an RX 480, either a 4GB or 8GB.

All I can find when I google is redditor opinions and I want intelligent opinions so here I am.

Someone please help?

I've had this for 3 yrs Just replaced the H100 with an air cooler.
Should I even bother upgrading everything

>>59293565
You shouldn't even be considering the 1060 3gb desu

>>59293509
>Why is this allowed?

>>59293577
30 hz monitor?

>>59293580
I assume that's because it's not a good idea to have a card below 4GB VRAM? I'm fine with that, but I've read that gaming at 1080p would see very little difference on an 8GB VRAM card.

Alright /g/ I need your advice and please tell me if I'm a total retard or not. I ordered parts to construct a new rig, but I was piss drunk and I dunno if everything jives. So let me know if this rig will be any good for the next few years.

mobo - MSI Computer ATX DDR4 Motherboard B150 GAMING M3 MSI
graphics - NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1070 GRAPHICS CARD 8GB 1070 8GB
cpu - Intel Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz BX80662I76700K Processor
ram - PNY 8GB RAM a piece (old hardware didn't see the need for more ram)
psu - 550 Watt (old hardware as well)
tower - Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 Mid Tower Computer ATX Case Gaming Window Storage
OS - win 10

So, what do you all think? will this be a good rig? Do I need a better PSU? only thing I could really think of as lacking.

I've never really gamed at 60fps, which is what I'm aiming for here, but I couldn't bring myself to drop ~$550 on a 1080.

How'll this do me?

Enjoy being spied on by CIA

>>59293633
Right. 4gb is currently the unspoken "minimum" you should consider for a new card for gaming. As for the vram, it really depends on the settings that you're trying to play on and what textures you want to load (e.g. Nightmare settings in Doom) but usually you only play the game like that if you want to take screenshots anyways

Any last comments before I buy everything?

>>59293683
I should have known. Nice PC, I have the same cpu. What speed are you running at on air?

>>59293561
SSDs are a luxury item. You can use a HDD just fine and not worry about it. I have no experience in SSHD but I assume it falls under the same category.

If you can't/dont want to blow money on a SSD then dont. Once you go SSD you dont go back

>>59293669
What kind of ram is it?

>>59293711
Can you redpill me on Nvidia vs. AMD? I have an AMD card now but the drivers for it lately have been not so good. I'd really like an Nvidia card but their prices are a lot higher and I'd like to save money.

>>59293715
Not enough LEDs, it wont run that fast.

On a serious note it looks fine to me

>>59293764
I'm sort of annoyed at how expensive my build is getting and the SSD isn't helping at all. 128GB SDD just seems too small to me, 256 seems like the best compromise, but they cost at least €100.

But like you're saying, I wonder if I really need one. I think my only worry is having lag problems in games like BF1 or whatever I may happen to play if I don't have a SDD. Other than that I don't mind my computer being "slow". Hell I've had a fridge as a computer for so many years now I'm pretty sure my new build will be fast enough on a HDD to make me happy anyway.

according to speccy:

8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 668MHz (9-9-9-24)

but, that being said - think I should go with a new PSU as well? this is the most expensive graphics card Ive bought to date, and I kind of want to know if I'll be needing a new PSU to make it not die on me. Also, what kind of PSU and whatnot. Any reccomendations?

Also, should I update the RAM? since you asked about it

>>59293781
Not him but I'd just look at performance graphs of games you are interested in or from genres you like to play.
Make a choice based around that. If all you play is LoL or something light then no need to spend 400/500$ on an Nvidia card

I play Battlefield 1, Elder Scrolls Online (which has FPS issues regardless so I don't even know why I'm listing it) I'm going to be playing the new Mass Effect, stuff like that.

>>59293669
I'm sorry to say this man but B150 is like piss poor mobo and as far as I know it won't handle the i7 Kaby Lake. Unless

B150 & H170 & Z170 = Skylake
B250 & H270 & Z270 = Kaby Lake

I think.

>>59293821
128 will be fine as long as you mind what you put on it.
Throw your OS on it and whatever game or 2 of the month you are playing. I haven't played BF1 but I don't think a SSD will help (unless load times are crazy). Someone can correct me if I am wrong here.

>>59293715
Get xfx instead of Asus for the RX 480.

>>59293726
stock 4.2GHz i havent bothered to OC it yet

>>59293881
I read about graphical stuff getting loaded on the stop in newer games and that's why SSD were a must?

I'm not really a gaymer anymore so I'm not that knowledgeable.

>>59293894
reviewers say the xfx gtr is loud

>>59293875
You will probably want to go Nvidia then unless you want to wait for the 500 series AMD chips.

Mass effect will be pretty GPU heavy so depending on what settings/resoultion you want to play at you will need a hefty card like the 1070/1080.

>>59293822
PSU should be fine for now as long as it isn't over 5 years old and was running under 50% load for most of its life. And yeah buy DDR4 ram

>>59293879

Damn, is this true? I mean the mobo only cost 128 so I can say fuck it and buy a new one but it puts me out a hundred some-odd dollars... but I absolutely will get a better mobo if it will brick the CPU, which I care much more about. Can anyone else confirm? I mean I trust this anon but sucks seeing 128 go down the drain like that. Yeah, its a skylake btw. i7 6700k etc etc.

>>59293916
I haven't personally heard that so I can't comment on that.
But like I said just get a 128GB one and swap games onto it as you play them.

When I got my first 128GB SSD I just had my OS and whatever game I was heavy into at that time. I ran BF4 off my normal HDD and it was perfectly fine. Maybe I didn't load into the game as fast as if it was on a SSD but once I was in I couldn't tell if I was having any loading issues.

>>59293991
>I mean I trust this anon
I said "I think" so you shouldn't. Wait for others and look into it.

>>59293975

Ok I'll order that new RAM stat, dunno much about it which is why I'm asking you guys, you guys have been a great help btw I'm just a drunk idiot with enough computer experience to build a rig and a decent paycheck. Whats the difference with DDR3 v 4? I mean I have no probs buying the new RAM but I'm kinda curious.

Also my PSU is old as fuck. Looks like its time to get another.

>>59293991
Ok I looked into it and I'm dumb the i7-6700k is Skylake so it should work.

Just you won't be able to overlock, the b150 can't do that.

>>59294013

ok, that issue's on standby. Looks like I need at least a new PSU and new RAM according to anons.

>>59294053

ok sweet yeah I figured as much I read a little about it and saw I wouldn't be able to overclock but with the ridiculously expensive rig I'm building anyway it wouldn't really matter to me, I just want to experience 60fps for once in my life lol...

>>59293999
>and swap games onto it as you play them.
Wouldn't I need to uninstall and reinstall files though? Or do you mean I can literally just copy paste games from my SSD and HDD like that. Aren't folders linked to registry entries?

Either way you're right in that 128GB should be enough if it's just for games. I'm not even forced to put all games on it, I suppose multiplayer ones should but anything solo is good enough on the HDD.

>>59293975

ok so I'm looking at

Quiet 750 Watt 750W for Intel AMD PC ATX Power Supply Unit SATA PCI-E 6 Pin

for my new PSU, any recommendations for RAM? price really isnt too much of an issue desu.

I'm not rich or anything I just have no life therefore spend little to no money.

>>59293991
B150 is simply referring to the "features" your motherboard will have, Skylake and Kaby Lake both use LGA 1151 socket so the parts are compatible. You may want to consider buying a non-K cpu btw since you can't overclock on B150

looking for a new hdd. what's good? i can wait for sales too.

>>59294121
Yeah uninstall/reinstall. Its a pain but if you stick to games like I do, for months at a time, then its not a huge issue.

The only games I really put on there are games with huge load times like a heavily modded Skyrim.

I'd recommend putting your OS on there for sure to make boot times crazy fast.

>>59294143
Consider a modular PSU from either corsair or evga, they are top tier quality and the cable management will be a lot easier. As for RAM you can't really go wrong with any particular brand Hyper and G.skill I've had good experience's with

>>59294161

is overclocking really worth it?

I mean I would do it and its still an option I'll explore if I decide to get a new mobo in the future, I just really don't know what the advantages are to it. Seems to put a lot of strain on the PC as far as temperature from what I've heard.

Also, what about the PSU and RAM?

I'm looking at

Quiet 750 Watt 750W for Intel AMD PC ATX Power Supply Unit SATA PCI-E 6 Pin

right now for a PSU but it says AMD so will it work with my nvidia card? I know, retarded question answer is probably yes but I gotta ask.

Also for RAM how about a couple of these


G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4 22400) Intel Z170

? thx guys

>>59294260
Yeah that's what I had planned to do. Cheers.

>>59294274
I got told to get a "EVGA PSU" for myself as they were among the best. Make sure to get at least Bronze or Gold certification.

PSU work for everything regardless of brands.

Fortron PSU yes or no?

>>59294309

ok cool, will look into EVGA.

Also, pcpartpicker is telling me my CPU doesnt come with a "stock cooler", what does this mean? I know I gotta keep that shit cooled but what does this entail in terms of hardware?

>>59294274
Make sure its modular so you don't have to deal with 100% of the cables it comes with if you only need 50%

>>59294274
>is overclocking really worth it?
Not really, it's more like a hobby for enthusiasts. PC technicians and benchmarkers like to push their hardware for comparing to others, it's pointless for gaming really.

>>59294368
It doesn't come with a cooler and your CPU will fry without one. The used to come with base coolers that would work OK but just OK.

For cheap coolers look at Hyper 212. Water cooling with closed systems are good if you plan on overclocking.

>>59294382

ok so updates, Im still drunk and retarded and you guys are guiding me so I opted for

EVGA SuperNOVA 650W G1 80Plus Gold Power Supply Unit (120-G1-0650-XR)

as my PSU...

now looking into DDR4 RAM and shit its kind of expensive, but hell with it. cheaper option is

G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 8GB 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800 (PC4 22400) Intel Z170

what do you think? also will be updating with what I find for a CPU cooler. Thanks again guys.

The recommended specs for it, (which are usually always blown a bit out of proportion) it only recommends a 1060 or an 480, so I think a 1070 or a 1080 would be a bit over kill.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a 1070 but I can't afford a new monitor and I'm told that gaming at 1080p with a 1070 and 8GB of VRAM is overkill.

Can you give me an opinion on that?

Plus I think my CPU (Skylake i5-6600 3.30 Ghz) would bottleneck a 1070 anyway. Would it?
