Hey /b/ros, Can I have some advice on what I should change about

>>725001894
better PSU trust me

gtx 1080ti

get the gtx1080 since its lower price now

Save money and pirate windows 7 from a free recovery disk online. You can get them directly from windows website. Windows 7 is way better than 10. Windows 10 corrupted it's own system files on my computer at one point.

Use an activator to get it for free and there you go. Google "Daz activator" but be careful cause there are too many fake links.

>>725001894
is it one stick of ram or 2x4GB? I guarantee you'll want more pretty soon.

>>725002017
>>725002076
thanks
>>725002194
I'm gonna add linux when I get it

>>725001894
Change HDD, use SSD, it will startup way faster

>>725002271
that's one of the main things I was wondering was about the ram. What's the most to get without it being pointless?

>>725002385
another good point, but do they make SSD drives over 250gb? I couldn't find a nice size one

>>725002420
It depends on what you do, check the system monitor to see if you actually need more, keep monitoring while using it as you usually do.

Look into seagate firecuda hybrid drive. Has SSD cache and a hdd. Very fast and holds a ton of storage without paying for a large SSD.

>>725002487
you can find up to 960 GB on amazon

I dont do much because I never really had a top of the line PC but I want to be able to play the best games at the highest res and best fps. Is 32gb of ram too much though?

>>725002789
DDR4 16 would be enoug,h, but don-t forget the frequency, try to get the highest possible

>>725002923
frequency of what?

>>725003120
of the ram memory

>>725002701
never been an AMD fan at all. Has it come a long way in the passed 8 years or so?

>>725003322
google ryzen and do some research, check youtube reviews, you may save some serious cash

>>725002701
straight from pcworld
>Intel is currently better than AMD. The general performance of a 3.6GHz AMD Ryzen 1800X CPU compared to a 7th Generation 4.2GHz Intel Kaby Lake Core i 7 7700K CPU is slightly weaker, and yet the AMD processor costs hundreds of dollars more than the Intel equivalent.

>>725003441

>>725003497

I saw an ncix vid showing how ram frequency is moot in gaming no improvement whatsoever

>>725002420
assuming you play new-ish videogames, 16 should last you a couple years at least

>>725003927
thanks

Does anyone else have an opinion of if Ryzen is better or not? Should I get it instead of intel?

>>725003497
By the metrics they used to test the 7700, it comes out on top of the 6900k, which is $1000+.
You don't know what you're talking about.

>>725004187
Ryzen will age much better. Also, because AMD reuse CPU sockets, you have a better upgrade path.

>>725004251
>You don't know what you're talking about.
obviously, because I pasted a direct quote from pcworld...so you're saying they dont know what theyre talking about?

>>725001894
I still need to throw together Kaby Lake and Ryzen builds.

Bits of advice.

Instead of 8GB go for a single stick of 16GB.
It will be a better long term investment and allow for easier upgrading in the future if you so chose.

If that means you go from an i7 to an i5, unless you feel you're going to need hyperthreaded cores, I wouldn't be crying.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wq2HQV

Here is the last Kabylake build I threw together (still no i7 variant) keep in mind this contains some things you will not need, you can ignore them or remove them all together.

its not a mac you should probably just kill yourself faggot.

>>725004963
and there you are, i knew it would only be a matter of time. kill yourself macfag

>>725004916
Another bit of advice

SSD > HDD

All day every day.Even if it means you get a smaller 128GB SSD for a while. Just run all of your common programs there and run a few common games on it. Then buy a good 1-3TB HDD for games and other shit.

It's easier to add storage than it is to copy everything you want over to an SSD.

(I'll throw in more to keep the thread alive)

>>725004963
lol here is your (you)

>>725004475
I'm saying they're purposefully only showing benchmarks where the 7700k shines.
It's like saying that the Tesla is the fastest car in the world because it has a fast 0-100. As soon as it hits the track it's a slow POS.

Also, Windows task scheduler needs to be updated to take advantage of SMT, and BIOS optimisations etc.
It's early days. Ryzen will only become better over the next month or so.

You guys do realize your computers share a name with the biggest bunch of autistic faggots in the world, right?

>>725004916
>>725005226
all good advice, thanks man. I wish I could tweak that part list a little and just have someone take what i selected and build it for me

>>725005226
Also make sure it's an M.2 SSD if your motherboard supports it.

Samsung SM951 128 GB sounds like a good deal going a bit over 100 USD though.

>>725005642
I could probably do that honestly.

>>725005600
ok

>>725005600
implying anyone who knows anything about computers get viruses, haven't had a virus in 20 years. pleb

>>725005706
I've never had a virus, My hole life i've been on macs

dude 16gb. everytime, also if you pirate I suggest a larger HDD. I got mine a few months ago and already almost filled it.

>>725005706
that you know of.

also, stop feeding.

16 gigs is considered the sweet spot for gaming

>>725005844
I have a 1tb HDD on this pc im on now that is pretty much full with movies and tv shows. I'm gonna keep them on this one. Then when I get the new one I'm gonna get an external to put more movies on that

>>725002487
They do I bought a couple 240 drives on sale for less than a hundred dollars

>>725006115
are they external?

>>725004187
Only get Ryzen if you plan to do multiple things at once like streaming, video editing and rendering otherwise intel is the tits for gaming

>>725006088
but externals are fucking slow. idk if it 3.1 on that external, it'll still be slower than the sata in your comp.

Your motherboard is shit

>>725006267

>>725006062
It actually isn't 8GB is still the 99.9% will be enough for gaming.

The REAL reason he should get 16GB is due to the fact most 170 and 270 boards have support up to 64GB of ram with four slots.

That happens to be 16GB per slot. 4x16

You don't have to fill all slots to make 64GB, the computer will not explode if you put in 4x8 to make 32 or 4x4 to make 16. It's just generally better practice to leave room for upgrades rather than have to completely swap out your ram.

>>725006401

>>725001894
Buy a SSD smaller and install just the os to boot fast, then hhd for actual programs and storage

LEDs are fucking retarded. Put that in a fuckin milk crate you uncultured pleb :/

>>725007103
for all the shit you have in there your PSU is way to low, you're liable for the power on your comp to trip. up it to like 700.

>>725007276
ty

>>725002487
at this point id go with am4, maybe wait though for 1600X, also you can get a small ssd like 120gb ish for os and then put the games on another regular hdd then later add a bigger ssd for the games and then use the regular drive for movie, music pix etc dump

>>725007276

>>725007941
The more you pay the better it is.
until next month.

>>725008029
what happens next month

>>725008029
yeah. in a couple of months i would have suggested ryzen, it's an absolute beast, but kinda unstable rn.

>>725007941
a setup above 1500 is honestly just wasted money, better save that extra for all the keyboards youre gonna spill water on and garbage mics, perhaps get a big ass tv/monitor and a rocking soundsystem too

>>725001894
Maybe get a SSD, for them quick boot

>>725008124
You get diagnosed with a terminal form of cancer and suddenly material objects have to value in your life.

>>725008276
mice* not mics, although headsets break and go scuffed as well

>>725008276
i use a 65" tv as my monitor

don't cheap out, get a 480GB SSD and run your OS and apps on it

>>725008309
material objects are all you have at that point

>>725008496
>don't cheap out
i got a 960gb ssd...

>>725008496
I think you missed the 960 SSD.

>>725008530
Retarded logic is retarded

>>725008370
if youre gonna play in the livingroom then get a gaming floorchair and a small table for the keyboard and mouse, beats ruining your back bent over in the sofa

>>725008496
or just get two, a smaller one for os and a bigger one for games.

>>725008615
i use my pc in my bed, laying down

>>725008577
well then I would say you got a SSD that's larger than you need, how many fuckin games and apps do you need to have installed at the same time you autist? 480GB is about 100GB more than an average gamer needs

>>725008693
I'm not an average gamer. I don't even play games yet. But I have almost a TB in movies and shows

>>725001894
Get win7 lel.
If u want more power for less get another GTX, either the same or a new and better one.

But why do you even want to make it better, what's not pleasent right now?

>>725008899
see
>>725007103

>>725008693
bf1+dlcs is like 70gb+ alone same with bf4, fallout 4 texture pack is 60gb, 480 is barely enough for ANY normal pc gamer

>SSD > HDD
>All day every day.Even if it means you get a smaller 128GB SSD for a while. Just run all of your common programs there and run a few common games on it. Then buy a good 1-3TB HDD for games and other shit.

Get 2 ssd of same size and raid 0. Use for os and programs.
Buy 3tb hdd for storage, hgst makes good reliable hdds

This. 7700k is only good for gaming where it leads in half of the benchmarks from the reviews I've seen. Plus the R7 1700 is the real bang for buck deal.

>>725004916
>Instead of 8GB go for a single stick of 16GB.

Why.

>>725003120
you wont be able to afford much higher than 2666 if you're budget building. it's advisable to get a ssd for boot disk even if it only leaves you limited funds for storage. also, consider that your CPU will be doing a shit ton of work, where you video device may only be picking up slack on some games.

dual channel is over hyped and overrated.

I fell for the dual channel meme when I did 2x4 to make 8. Then did another 2x4 to make 16 and now see a future of maybe wanting 32.

Whatever performance you think you're going to get with dual channel, you can probably get more by overclocking ram and lowering its latency.
