just upgraded my old pc with a new mobo, cpu and ram but wi dows wont go to desktop. I've got the options of startup repair and start windows normally but ive done the repair 3 times and it didn't help and neither did start windows normally. im guessing this is because of the new mobo drivers. is there any way i can delete the old drivers and install the new ones without installing new windows?

>>56571415
>Personally assume
I never said that this was gaming exclusive, just any builds that ask for help, I will modify to be not utter shit

My new ram isn't staying in the RAM slot, do I just need to push harder?

http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/CG6v3F

Someone please help me. I am too sick at the moment and my brain does not work.
I have a few questions:
1 is cpu cooler ok or should i got with cooler master 22 or something (same price)
2 RAM is a place holder idk which ram I need please advise
3 Is the mother board ok for overclocking and is it reliable in general. Do i need to shell out more sheckels or something?
4 This phantecs case or cooler master 5?

Use for this build will be streaming. Any and all feed back is appreciated
Also I have already got 500gb ssd so ignore it in the build

I have a Corsair 300R, and I'm wondering about how to best set it up for airflow.

I've got two fan slots on the front, one on the side, two on the top and one on the back.

Would I be right in using two in the front and one in the side as intake, and two in the top and one in the top-back as exhaust?

how can two cards of the exact same model and architecture, but one from MSI and one from ASUS, leapfrog eachother depending on the test?

I realize in the examples I provided, the FPS difference is within the margin of error, but when they tested Battlefront, the ASUS had a full 2.5fps more

2 top exhaust

you don't really need more fans unless your system is dumping a lot of heat.

>>56572200
Go for it m8. I presume you weighed the cons/pros between the i5 6500 and 6600k already and decided you'd rather go for an overclocker.

Yeah I had the 65 in there for a long time and hiked it up last night after I got some more money.
And besides it was like 30 dollars more for the over clock so I said what the hell, why not?

How do I get Daz loader for Windows 7? MDL forums aren't sending me a verification email so I can't even read the posts with the download.

Also, my new PC is doing something wonky with audio. My GPU (Sapphire Nitro 480) isn't outputting audio at all and when plugged into the mobo connections, my headphones only output through one speaker. I'm guessing I may have a wiring issue, or is it just drivers?

Why's that?

>>56571388
What a shit OP

>>56573012
Don't need a cooler, the i5 comes with one
Don't need a Z170 mobo for a locked CPU
Get a 250GB SSD
Get a 2TB HDD
As the other anon said, either get the Fury or a new card like a 480. That 390 is a housefire.

Are there any reliable guides for building a laptop?

>>56571669
its in the wrong way.

>>56571673
your SSD is too small it will full up too fast
this is pure gaming so invest in a really big HDD

your PSU is too powerfull your'll never use it
even with OC your'll only ever use 600w if OC GPU and CPU.

>>56571950
CPU is not strong enough for a 1080 , get a 1070 instead.

>>56573529
Not the same anon, but I recently saw a video comparing a 6500,6600k and a 6700K paired with a 1080, I only saw a difference of 10 fps between the i7 and the 6500
Let me search for the video and will post

>>56572714

>>56574017
You are right, i5 6600K or fuck it an go 6700?

>>56574098
Well a 6600k is great, but if you want to overclock it you'll need a Z170 motherboard and the CPU cooler (which you don't need with a 6500 or 6600 non-k)
you don't need a 6700 or 6700k.

Just get a non-swag air cooler for $30 that'll probably last several years longer than that watercooler

>>56572736
You don't need a $300 512GB hard drive that's for sure. Even in the heaviest high res video editing, a really good sata SSD should be enough. I mean sata 6Gb/s max is still fucking beefy.
I doubt you need a 1080 but I don't know if your programs can make any use of it, if not, then I doubt you even need a GPU.
I know 2011-v3 can take on pretty hardcore CPUs and *might* be necessary, but I don't know much about the products
At this point it's better to look at what your software can take advantage of, not only what your hardware can supply

>>56574449
Lol yes, especially with a 1080 tacked onto it
What was your last CPU? You sound like you've had problems with it, or maybe problems with the integrated graphics on it?

Should I buy a GTX 1060 or wait until I can upgrade the whole PC?

What I have:
Core 2 Duo E8400 3GHz
Gigabyte G31M-S2L mobo
4GB DDR800
AMD HD 6850
Corsair VX450 PSU
The rest doesn't matter.

This link is relevant, but I still can't decide: http://www.pcgamer.com/will-your-cpu-bottleneck-your-graphics-card/2/

>>56574523
It's a 1070, not a 1080, just a heads up.
Well this is my first ever build, so I'm coming from a pretty general use laptop, with all the implications that has.

>>56572736
Or if you really do want a Meme2 SSD, the Intel 600p ones are about as good as the Samsung 950 pros for $100 less

How durable are fan cables usually? I've been wresting with my CPU fan cable all morning trying to get it to fit cleanly and I think I've plugged/unplugged that thing at least twenty times, and I've bent it around even more. It's a Noctua fan if that means anything.

>>56574449
If that 1080p thing will actually be your monitors then yeah, you could probably run half a dozen screens while playing 3 games at the same time

>>56574647
Just kidding you could probably only play 2 1080p games at the same time with a 1070, and only have 5 screens because not enough outputs

>>56573012
The 390 isn't worth $300 any more. You could get a fury for that much.

>>56574813
Extra screens without extra games running shouldn't really add much load on your GPU at all
Like a desktop screen and YouTube is not GPU-intensive

An i5 6500 costs $115 dollarydoos (Australian dollars) more than an i3 6100 (what I planned to get). But the retailer I plan to buy my build from is offering free shipping if I choose the i5. That would save me $41 dollarydoos. So I could get the i5 for just $75 more, so long as I don't change anything else in the build. Is it worth it?. I'm not even much of gamer or anything, though I want to try out civ 6. Or should I say fuck it and get the cheap g4400. I'm at work right now so I'll post my budget build later.

They're refurbished drives that were sent back to the factory for an RMA and tested for the usual hardware failures. If they pass, they get a uncolored label to show that they're used drives, but passed testing. Some may have a one year limited warranty depending on who did the retesting.

>>56574319
I'm not sure what you mean by this, but I'm using the same motherboard, RAM, CPU, PSU, and hard drive from 2011. I don't plan on changing any of those parts any time soon.

I upgraded from a 560 Ti to a GTX 960. I added 4 hard drives and 2 SSDs. And I bought a new case because it's easier to work with.

Buy yourself a nice case and motherboard so that you don't have to make major changes in the future.

>>56574859
It's worth $100 more burgerbucks (American Dollars) to most people, it'd be worth $75 more to me. The i3 6100 isn't bad, but there's already been a few non-specific situations where it's not overkill. And for a modern CPU that's just unacceptable, I think
What's your GPU? Are you just gonna be playing games or editing/encoding/exporting humongous media files where an extra minute matters?

>>56574535
You can get a Q9550 on ebay for like $35. It'll add more life to your system and you won't have to spend much money.

Hey everyone I plan on streaming from my pc while playing at the same time. Should I buy 6700k or 6600k?

Like a lot of people here I'm new to building. I tried to put together with a helping hand of a couple lads a build for video and photo editing, animation, arguably fast compiling for programming and responsive file management. I don't do much gaming but it'd be nice to get some good performance for when I do play.

If it was up to me, I'd want my build to be as small as possible so I can keep the thing on my desk (cleaning ladies are savages when brooming and my roomies aren't exactly respectful) but I'm not sure if a Mini-iTX build will get hot easily and/or be easy for a newcomer to put together, let alone that I don't know if it will all fit.

Otherwise, I have this MidTower build. I'm not confident if it will work/fit fine, also I can't decide on the cases. My budget 1,600 (including peripherals). Opinions?

Never thought about that option. What would be a good cheap cooler for it?
If I buy that and the GTX 1060, my main "bottleneck" will be the 4GB RAM. But my mobo only has 2 slots, so there's nothing I can do about it.

>>56575866
you have more space for your hands when its outside

so you don't put everything in your case only to find out they sent you a DOA mobo. Always prebuild outside the case for checking before you install to save your self the headache.

My ASIS mobo has this thing on it. I believe that this is the Intel USB3 controller chip (it probably has many other functions).

How do change thermal compound under it? I tried pressing these two black pins but they're under a spring tension. When you press them, they just dip and come back up. How do I remove them + heat sink and expose the chip under it?

>>56575966

Best place to build it is on the mobo box itself. Word of warning DO NOT BUILD IT ON THE STATIC BAG which is conductive on the outside.

>>56575977

Unless you have spare thermal pads it not worth it. Rarely do heatsinks like these use thermal compound, and if you use thermal compound it probably will not work properly for keeping it solidly attached/span the gap.

>>56576015
Interesting. Fuck! I've noticed that this chip gets fucking warm. I think it has something to do with iGPU as well. I was hoping I could replace the grease and maybe add a new heatsink on top of it.

Don't trust Amazon, or Ebay for that matter, when it comes to product ratings/reviews. Shit isn't there to inform you, it's there to sell the product. (ie it is fraudulent; top sellers can get low ratings/bad reviews removed under certain circumstances: buyer did not contact seller for refund, buyer did not respond after rating/review to sellers inquiries, etc.)

Any advice on shipping, anyone?
If I choose my parts on Amazon I am able to get the handling and shipping of my parts by what appears no name Chinese brands.
The thing is that I can get ridiculously low prices with this guys. For example, a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO would either cost me about $14 + $8 shipped from a brand called "Tan FroM China" or fucking $37 + $0 shipped from Amazon.
It's a big price difference, but is getting the shipping done from a trustworthy name like Amazon worth the extra buck?

On Amazon for example, Silverstone's consistently pull 4 star reviews, while Corsair's are roughly 1/2 a star more. I don't trust retards to review shit most of the time, but the trends are usually pretty reliable. I'd say buying that PSU is a pretty safe bet.

>>56576986
Take a look at Corsairs Carbide 88R or Spec-M2.
Coolermaster has the N200 as well.

Should I continue upgrading my computer? I barely play any games anymore and have little enjoyment out of them. But I'm bored, want something to buy and build. I don't make a lot of money

>>56577044
True. Maybe he was talking about RAM, but there's only 1 other choice for RAM and it has a slower speed. The rest are gskill garbage with huge ass head spreaders.

As for the PSU, I think that is my only choice. Nothings wrong with Silverstone exactly, but their SFX power supplies rank among the highest in noise during high load.

>>56577083
Just wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Amazon Prime day then. Only upgrade when it's completely necessary.

>>56577083
>I don't make a lot of money
Don't. The joy for you is stemming from the process, not the product it seems. Spending all that dosh on parts is just a money pit. Take up a hobby that requires lots of rewarding work, but isn't very expensive.

>>56577093
He explicitly specified it was for the PSU in his post though. On a personal build, I'd opt for Corsair myself as well, but that's just me

>>56577111
Cyber Monday is a meme just buy everything friday

>>56577111
>Only upgrade when it's completely necessary

True, that way you get the full benefits of spending the extra hundreds of dollars for a gaming rig rather then console

>>56577145
It's worth scouting. I've gotten drives for decent prices.

That amazon prime day though was great. Snagged a near 1TB (960GB) SSD for $176

>>56577083
>I barely play any games anymore and have little enjoyment out of them
I'm worried that if I drop lots of cash on my next pc the same thing will happen to me.

I'm thinking on getting the following:
1.- asus ROG Z170i PRO
2.- intel 6700k
3.- asus GTX 1080 STRIX OC
4.- 16GB(4X4) VENGEANCE LPX @3000mhz
I want a cool case to put it all in (I was thinking of a kinda sleeper looking case), what are your suggestions guys?
Also idkwtf to get for a cpu heatsink and or cooler, PSU, and maybe drives?

>>56577083
>I don't make a lot of money

Some thing is wrong here but i am in no position to judge others.

>>56577230
Obsidian series?

Also, look at coolermaster coolers, definitely the most popular around here. We had a discussion about PSUs up above, see if one of those brands works for you, and then just use PC Partpicker to find out what wattage is right for you.

>>56577295
thanks man, Ilooked thorugh pc part picker but I heard that some part come up as compatible when they weren't, any way you know of any sleeper looking cases? I kinda like those beige ones from the yesteryears but am too lazy to actually diy a case myself.

>>56577230
Curious, are you doing something non gaming related?

>>56577335
video editing my friend, i wanted to make this my only pc but i got a thinkpad last week and am.loving it for coding.

>>56577349
forgot to say i want to start a youtube channel, but not for gaming, something more of a news thing.

>>56577325
If you're going for the retro beige look, I'd see if you can get access to an ewaste thing in your area and ask if you can scrounge a case. I knew a dude who used one of them for his workstation. Had 2 gtx titans in an old as fuck case so no one would think to steal it. Idk how easy of a time he had getting everything to fit well with decent airflow for modern technology's power/heat output though. That would be my biggest worry. A 4ghz i7 is sure to put out more heat than a 512mhz pentium.

Again, my favorite case design right now is Corsair's Obsidian series, but those are definitely less beige.

>>56577349
>video editing
You might be able to save money by not buying ROG stuff then.

what's a good & affordable CPU cooler?

>>56577515
Define affordable? I always invest in good quiet coolers since they protect very expensive components.

>>56577544
<$40.
if that's too low, which one would you recommend?

>>56577589
Cryorig H7

>>56577403
Assuming you want to stick to Mini ITX, which, I was surprised how few options there were, take a look at this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?CompareItemList=280|13-157-651^13-157-651%2C13-132-641^13-132-641

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157651
AsRock's Mini ITX lga1151 z170 board is ~$40 cheaper, and given the spec comparison, it seems to actually beat out the Asus one in a few areas. Might be worth looking into.

As for a graphics card, if you're doing video editing, finding the highest clock speeds isn't the most important thing, so don't worry about getting the most expensive fastest one. Some people even recommend getting the cheapest one you can find, since the differences are mostly brand related. Again, up to you.

I see most of your build have 7200rpm drive, but I've heard they get pretty noisy when compared to 5400rpm. Are they worth it ?

>>56577681
I have 2 7200 drives running in a case right next to me right now and all i can hear is cpu's fan.

>>56577681
I'd say yes, I know some are definitely noisier than others, and the speed difference isn't one of those things where people claim they can tell, it's actually noticeable. There are also noiser parts in a PC. If you're really focused on noise though, I'd get, say, a 500gb ssd and a 5400rpm hdd for supplemental storage.

>>56577515
evo 212 is incredible value, very effective cooling and best of all very quiet

>>56577639
thanks anon!

>>56577743
thanks anon! will check them both out.

Is it wise to buy from alternate parties on Amazon to avoid tax?

>>56577760
Look at their ratings, if they have a shitton of positive reviews, go for it. That's usually what I do to save a few bucks.

>>56577772
For me a few bucks is going to be about $80

My friend needs a good poorfag Photoshop/ video / animation machine, with strong multi-core performance. There's an Amazon combo deal, FX8350 +hyper 212 evo for like $180. Thoughts? He said he's willing to OC a bit.

Also gtx 1060 3gb for some low demand 1080p gaming a good idea? Overwatch, Dark Souls, medium settings GTAV, ect.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/kRLqRG

Two things here...
First, I need recommendations for best XP Northwood compatible Mobo that doesn't use RDRAM (Eff that stuff) and a couple GB of ram for it at budget. Going to be replacing current RDRAM using klunker but keep the ok Pentium 4 @2GBl*2 (Yea, a threaded 32 bit Pentium 4, who knew?). Will be using it only to stream three data connections over USB and one over DB9 Serial. (No, I have to use an actual XP computer, emulation will not work, I've already tried with virtualbox and VMware). Ohh and developing games of 2006 quality for use on the device that is connected by those connections.

2nd. With the remainder after buying ^ of the just over 2K USD I anticipate receiving into my PayPal, I need a work horse of a stream/transcode/gaming/normal stuff/not normal stuff PC. At that price though, I need to still be able to use my XVGA LCDs. I have ok KB/M to use with, so just the PC.

Any help is appreciated.

I'd look for better PSU desu. The EVGA you got there does have gold rating and meme modular cabling, but the voltage rippling (while within ATX spec) is quite bad especially on the 12V line and the fan in it is cheap ball bearing one (it'll be good for year or two but then starts becoming progressively more louder)

>>56583013
Do you have any recommendations for another PSU?

>>56578331
Put your pc in a cardboard box for all that the case matters, unless you need serious cooling

The PSU on the other hand is worth investing in

>>56583294
Seasonics are generaly considered godlike (quite a few names are actually their units just rebranded).

SeaSonic M12II 520 for example would likely suit you if you want full modular PSU. It's only a 80+ Bronze (4% less efficient than Gold), but has better bearing on the fan and voltage rippling is measly 25mV (makes a difference when OCing). Also cheaper. The other series they offer bump up the efficiency rating with warrying cabling options

Gonna wait till the end of the year/black friday for sales to drop, shit's a bit expensive right now.

Am I good BTW?

I'm looking for a decent cooler for my FX 6350. I haven't OC'd it, although I might OC like 200MHz if I decide to bother.

Requirements:
>AM4 or LGA1151/successor socket compatibility
>Pretty quiet
>Under $20 (or give me a good reason to spend more)

Clearly new most new AMD or Intel CPUs have TDPs much less than 125W even when OC'd, so the cooler doesn't have to be amazing

>>56578180
Im more concerned with the cpu really. It's more important for his use case than the graphics card.

Has anyone here managed to fit a Cryorig C1 fan with a pair of Corsair Dominator Platinums by any chance?

At this point you're best off looking for a used CPU and Motherboard.


A used Ivy Bridge i5 is <$100 and a decent used Motherboard for that is like $40 - $50.

>>56585236
Thank you! Bought my computer back in 2011 when I didn't know a lot and it's getting pretty slow now so I'm pumped to have an actually good rig.

>>56585243
What do you define as mid-range?

>>56584713
Regardless, there's still the concern if orienting the fan as such will interfere with a case's rear fan(s) such as on a Corsair 450D or 750D.

And don't forget the clearance below the fan for the white casing of that particular motherboard.

>>56584862
Logical increments has good part recommendations, but you don't need to have every part at the same level on their chart.

Also, you can find good deals that sway it. GTX970s are going cheap rn and the 3gb GTX1060 has just been released.

All of the parts on their list are good, so if you stick to those, make sure your PSU is powerful enough, have at least 8gb ram, have an SSD, you can't really go wrong.

The balance between CPU/GPU performance is going to depend on your preferences.

>>56585320

I have a budget of about $800. I want to be able to rub NieR Automata at sixty frames per second, 1080p on decent settings. Since yesterday I swapped out the HDD for WD Blue 1TB SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch Desktop Hard Drive (WD10EZEX). I also don't have an SSD, which I need but may be able to do without until I get more dosh. I have also been told to get a non-micro motherboard, any suggestions for around the same price? I also don't intend on overclocking. I asked /v/ for advice, and they were somewhat helpful but kept trying to get me to go for parts way out of my budget, ignoring what I said about it. Anything I can do to reduce costs or get better parts for the same cost? I should also add this is my first time.

If it helps I plan on ordering from Amazon because of prime.

>>56586810
The RX 460 isn't even within 80% of the performance of the GTX 950 and is barely ahead of the GTX 750 Ti. The GTX 560 is about 90% of the performance of the GTX 750, therefore the RX460 is not even 10% better than the GTX 560 at the best of times. There are titles where the RX 460 falls significantly behind the GTX 750 Ti.

Drop to i5-6500
Drop cooler (stock will be fine)
Mobo is fine; if you have an unlocked ( "K" ) CPU, you need to use a Z170 instead of an H110

>>56586922
The 1GB VRAM limitation of the 560 relegates it to worthless status for AAA games

>>56586890
Too many of you niggers are doing this.
If it has a "K" at the end, that's a sign that you're being Jewed like the good goy that you are. Smart people buy non-K CPUs with H_1/H_10 chipset motherboards. Goyim buy K-SKU CPUs with Z_7/Z_70 motherboards. Good goyim buy K-SKU CPUs with non-Z motherboards.

>>56581822
With a rig like that should i expect to run most modern/heavy games (like fo4, elite, ark, the witcher) on 60 fps at 1440? Or am i better off with a 1080 monitor instead?

>>56571388
>Drop to i5-6500
Don't most modern releases have 3.5Ghz as the recommended? I'm worried I won't be able to run them well, or games above 3.2Ghz.
>Drop cooler (stock will be fine)
Forgive my ignorance but it comes with one?
>Mobo is fine; if you have an unlocked ( "K" ) CPU, you need to use a Z170 instead of an H110
Noted. Same price?


>>56586991
It was the same price as the non K version

>>56586991
non-retards buy non-k with z170 and revert the bios

Also, I neglected to include a case in the screenshot, anything not expensive that will serve me well?

>>56586851
Both

>>56586995
TW3 will be 50 - 60 with Hairworks off
FO4 will be 50 but unless you have a good CPU and fast RAM you'll get drops in areas with lots of shadows (you can use a dynamic shadow mod)
Not sure about ARK

>>56587063
The *non-k* CPUs come with a stock cooler that's ugly as fuck and 100% good enough

>>56587201
So should I go with an i5-6660 then?

What about thermal paste?

>>56587063
>Don't most modern releases have 3.5Ghz as the recommended?
It's a scam

>Same price?
More expensive. You really don't need a K CPU. You'd probably fail miserably at overclocking it anyway

>>56586995
From what I hear the 1060 should just barely hold up 1440p 60hz
It smashes 1080p, so a 1080p 144hz monitor is a legit option too

>>56587232
A 6600 CPU will have zero CPU problems with any video game, GHz means jack shit nowadays with multiple cores, threads, and dozens of super-specific optimizations tacked onto the basic CPU design
What's your GPU btw

>>56587244
And of course, absolute maximum game detail settings is implied, so you could turn down a few settings and play anything

>>56587286
But at the same time, in 5 or 10 years (CPUs last longer than anything if you don't fuck it up), it'll be nice to be able to overclock it for free extra power

>>56586952
Lastly, what should I do for a case, and why did some say that having a micro mobo was bad? Is it more difficult to out together?

Hey /g/, I think my GPU is toast but Im not certain and dont want to go buy another one if it's not the problem.

Ive noticed a bit of stuttering in not so amazing graphics games like CS:GO, my driver started "not responding" and then would recover, and now after a random lock up in a game with no recovery, it seems the monitor just turns off randomly as if its not getting any input.

Is it safe to say this is almost certainly a GPU issue?

>>56587319

Use Display Driver Uninstall (google it) and then reinstall the latest drivers

You dun goofed.
I'm not commenting on your OS like everyone else might because it's to Windows 8 that Windows 7 was to Vista, except with reduced user control and built-in ads.

>>56587641
Not even close comparison senpai
You have no idea what is wrong with Windows 10 do you?

>>56586890
drop h110 for b150 or h170

>>56587669
I do, but I also know that it does fix some of the main issues that Windows 8 had (like not having a start menu) or made changes to new features that were well received on Windows 8. If you're a normie, then you shouldn't care about the increasing lack of control over security features in the operating system, or how you can no longer prevent "the botnet" from "collecting information on your activities" (i.e crash reports, error logs, etc). Windows 10 isn't bad if you don't know a goddamn thing about computers or how operating systems work.

>>56587641
Windows 10 is fucking horrible as an actual OS, as a "user experience" yeah I'd say it's like Vista to Windows 7 because vista was garbage and 8 was garbage, but aside from the actual functionality, lack of support, heavy-ass OS and toddler UI, Microsoft is collecting data as hard as a mobile OS at this point. And considering Windows tablet OS's are gone in favor of 10, Windows 10 is a mobile OS now
10 is already ubiquitous, that doesn't mean you should pretend your doomed fate is any good

>>56587717
Thanks

>>56587731
Windows 8 and 10 are the exact same in my eyes, except for the datamining.
The basic system data you're talking about that's been sent to Microsoft ever since XP is still there, but Windows 10 introduced much much more datamining
Your browser, your network activity, passwords, bookmarks, even your files are at risk of becoming your "normal MS account stuff" and it cannot be fully turned off
You can block it through tediously whitelisted firewalls (severely reducing functionality), or buy enterprise from a company that bought Windows 10 (good luck finding any business that dumb).
The optional datamining processes that is now in 7 cannot be removed from 10

>>56587568
Just use DDU, also /g/ isn't your personal tech support board. Google how to completely uninstall and reinstall display drivers.

>>56587583
What are we cooking for dinner?

>>56587731
>crash reports, error logs
That's been around this whole millennium and everyone's known about it. Windows 10 goes further than that, it's no longer system and running program data anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if a MS account with your real info was soon mandatory for using windows
I wouldn't give a single fuck about my privacy is Windows 10 was good. But unfortunately, even with all the collection shit aside, Windows 10 is still a horrible OS thats only merit is compatibility in 2016

>I asked /v/ for advice, and they were somewhat helpful but kept trying to get me to go for parts way out of my budget
Your first mistake.
>I'll listen to advice from /v/ermin lurking on /g/
Your second mistake.
There is nothing wrong with having a microATX motherboard if you're not overclocking, you don't need to use so many PCIe slots, or don't need to have 8+ hard drives in your build. An ATX motherboard is overkill for almost all /v/ermin who end up buying $120+ H170 motherboards littered with useless LEDs.

Drop the i5-6600K to an i5-6500 or i5-6600. Maybe even an i5-6408P if you can find one at a good price.
You don't need a Hyper 212 EVO if you're not overclocking. You can make do with a stock cooler and buy a $15-20 CPU cooler with a smaller fan+heatsink for the same performance within the same thermal headroom (which isn't that much).
Stick with that motherboard. It's the right size with the right amount of features for the right price. Everyone telling you to buy a B150 or H170, or even a Z170 is talking out their ass. You aren't a power user, you're just using your computer for games. An H110 is perfect for you.
Your memory is a bit on the wee-size, but it's perfectly usable. Consider upgrading to a pair of 16GB RAM if you never want to upgrade them in the next four years.
Your hard drive is adequate, but definitely consider purchasing a 240-256GB one in the near future for around $60-80 (look out on black Friday, a decent 480-512GB SSD might even fall under $100, which makes them a steal).
You video card is fine.
Your power supply is not. EVGA's vendor of choice for their Bronze units don't have the best of reputation with cheapo non-modular units.
And why do you need an internal DVD drive in 2016? You can always buy an external USB DVD player if you need to use it.

Also, where the hell is your case? A micro ATX case (4-5 PCI brackets in the back) are much cheaper than most of their ATX counterparts.

Get a micro case (specific suggestions?)

I don't care about privacy, I'm browsing Facebook in another tab while posting from my iPhone, I just want an OS that's a fucking OS

There's like four or five major titles that scale well with memory. All the other titles this year aren't. Your problem pham, you listened to the same hype that led you to buy Skylake new rather than Haswell on sale.
>>56587951
I can't recommend any power supply unless I know which specific manufacturer they came from (EVGA does not make their own power supplies, they just put their names on it for branding). Most of the PSUs I'd recommend are either no longer on sale or have a much higher price tag than you should be spending it on.
Johnny Guru has a nice set-up for PSU reviews. I'd use that site as a start.

>>56587961
You're in a shrinking minority of users who want access to that kind of information. Windows is moving away from the technical aspects of the OS in order to appeal to the dumbass Millennials who can't think for themselves, can't solve problems by themselves, and probably can't breathe for themselves without having mommy pushing on their diaphragm.
Microsoft is moving in the right direction for the shekels. You're just not in their path to expanding growth.

>>56588009
>access to that kind of information
I browse YouTube and steam, I'm not a power user, I'm an idiot that wants my OS to not be an idiot.

>>56588119
I haven't used something like Linux since I tried to computerize my PS3
I'd rather have that at this point, Windows 10 is blue screening several times a day, one update makes it less frequent then the next update makes it 5x worse. And I can't use it on my desktop because Windows 10 doesn't support my hardware

>>56587911
>tfw you spent another $80 on 3000Mhz RAM

Why would you do this when you could have just gotten a better video card?

Has anyone done the PC assembly service provided by NCIX?

A warranty and not having to deal with possible RMA's sounds worth 50 bucks to me desu.

>>56588962
LinusDickTips worked for NCIX
Really makes you think

>>56588962
I wouldn't spend $50 on that. Sending bad parts back is free. I'll keep my money.

>>56588983
What does this mean?

>>56587911
Except if you fell for the APU meme

What could you pick up a 970 for nowadays?

>>56589312
Around $170. Might as well pay a little more and get a new card.

>>56589548
You seem you know a thing or 2. How long do you think it would take for 1060 prices to start dropping a bit?

>>56588962
I haven't done it, but I'd definitely consider it if I was a first time builder and/or just nervous

do they include cable management? I remember I looked into it ~6 years ago, but I can't remember the specifics

>>56589562
Not until black Friday at least
Probably not until next March

>>56589562
You'll definitely see price drops during the holiday season.

If you want a card now, you can go on jet.com and use the TRIPLE15 code to get 15% off.

>>56588962
>>56589568
just checked the page, and they do cable management as well as drivers, software, etc

if we assume it's an hour to build the pc, an hour for drivers plus cable management, and maybe another 30 minutes for windows, then it's only $20/hour. factor in their expertise and/or your lack thereof, it's not a terrible deal, especially if you've never built one before but don't want a prebuilt

Given that everything works would this be a decent pickup for $200? I'm not really looking for something to rampage through any game I throw at it but, I figure it shouldn't be too bad as a starting point for future upgrades. Plus I am a poorfag.
