nice video game consoles

Im about to build my first ever gaming pc for the price of 600$ in about a month. Because this is going to my first built I would like someone to rate my pc parts. Do I need anything more except Windows? Is there any better new parts for that price that I should use? Going to play Csgo and a few other single games like Dark Souls on it. (from germany/german website)

I recently threw out my pc because I wanted to quit games

Right now I am craving games and considering building a whole new one.

I wish I'd never played video games growing up

what is the best brand for a 480 8gb version

>>58274956
Sapphire or MSI.

>>58274861
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/N63CCy
I'm pretty poor, and I'd like to see if you guys could recommend a better CPU, for roughly the same price

Don't worry boys I whipped up a little script in visual basic and decoded my product key from the registry.

>>58274915
Get a SSD, different RX480 preferred Asus, Sapphire or XFX and either i3-6100 or i5-6500, the 6400 is a bad CPU.
Your case doesn't have any case fans, so add 2x120mm for about 15 bucks to it.

>>58274956
Best PCB: Asus
Best cooling: MSI
Best price/performance: Sapphire and XFX
To avoid: Gigabyte and PowerColor

>>58274993
If this is meant as a gaymen build, the i3-6100 is the way to go.
Also, get a SSD Windows 7 or 10, 8/8.1 is pure cancer.

Is it worth upgrading the motherboard and CPU if I'm running an i5-4670K? The only complaint I really have right now is the heat and subsequent noise it puts out (even with aftermarket big air cooler), but I've been out of the game for nearly two years.

Looking to build a 1080p gaming pc for ~1000€. This is what I got so far, but I feel like I can get cheaper options. Any recs?

I dont live in the US so some parts might be hard to get/find.

This is will be my first build ever. I just want to be able to run Overwatch at decent settings with constant 60fps

>>58275070
>The only complaint I really have right now is the heat and subsequent noise it puts out
Nah. Don't upgrade, wait for Zen, if it's shit, wait for Intel Coffee Lake in 2018 or whenever they release it, CPU market is stagnant.
If heat/noise is an issue then get better HSF and case fans. What's your current setup?

>>58274947
Just restrict yourself to Linux games.
I'm tired of Civilization 5 after 1000 hours or so, and there's nothing left that I enjoy and works on Linux

>>58274947
>I wish I'd never played video games growing up

Could have been drugs. It's not like you'd automatically gravitate towards nuclear physics because you never got into games.

>>58275121
What's your monitor? The 1060 is a very powerful card and it's almost wasted on 1080p.

>>58275121
Disgusting setup, research more, see logicalincrements and then come back with something that isn't as retarded.

>>58275147
Not going to happen m8, that build won't run shit at 60fps, well.. maybe Minesweeper.
See logicalincrements for minimum builds.

Can i use a cheap sound card to add a SPDIF output port into my pc? My old man handed me down some pretty neat speakers along with an digital audio processor to make them work properly, but this thing can pretty much only get the audio signal via optical (SPDIF) only. Also suggestion for said cheap sound card are appreciated.

Do you guys build computers for anything other than gaming?

>>58275264
Running poorly coded scripts.

>>58275264
No

>>58275113
Don't bother.
Using win 7 here, 10 is cancer IMO.

and i f you have 736 bucks to spare, that's not poor.

Poor is 500 and under.

This is how you do it.

I run a minecraft server and it's getting pretty serious. Do you think I could run a RAID config with a bunch of usb storage devices?

Waiting to build a HTPC and light gaming minirig for living room, basically a console but with far more options.

I want:
mITX mobo with USB-C
Some APU, I think I'll stick to 65W or less
m.2 SSD for software other content already on NAS

No cables apart from PSU, probably only 1 fan depending on case, hook up some gamepads and chill on couch.

Will have to wait for new APUs though, current ones have shitty TDPs so I guess 2H 2017 is possible.

Thanks, I figured I didn't need to. The issue is I have an aftermarket r9 290, which also runs disgustingly hot, so I don't know that swapping out more fans will make the difference, though I'd be up to try.

I'm currently using this HSF - http://www.phanteks.com/PH-TC12DX.html

I'd considered upgrading the 290 to a 1080/1070, though I have yet to look into much into it/which version is best/if I even need it.

I think the R5 is a nice size but I've had that kind of case for a long time.
I'd prefer something a little more maymay.

>>58276496
HSF is not the best but shouldn't be the problem either, R9 290 is a thermal reactor, that's probably your problem.
Wait until after 1080ti release, other prices should drop. 1070 should be the most you'll need for 90% of the time.

While I have you here, how relevant is a 1440p display? I've been using the same 1080p monitor for the better part of 7 years, and I've never even seen a higher res one in person. Is it worth upgrading to?

I ask mostly because I was told the 290 was overkill for 1080p, but it didn't necessarily run every game at very high settings [sometimes not high, but I think that was optimization (looking at you, Arkham City]).

I imagine the 1070 is the same amount of overkill, and I'm certain the 1080 is, but I don't know. Thanks for answering plebby questions.

>>58277111
>Is it worth upgrading to?
Idk, i'm on 3x1080p and i don't plan on upgrading.

>I imagine the 1070 is the same amount of overkill, and I'm certain the 1080 is, but I don't know.
For 1080p the 1080 is absolute overkill. The 1070 is overkill, too, but it has good price/performance so it's a reasonable investment for the next few years.
If you don't mind upgrading your GPU in the next few years or when you upgrade to 1440p144Hz you can stick with a 1060 or RX480 for now.
Personally i'd get the 1070 is you have the money.

Intel i3-6100 or intel i5-6500?

i3 since it's higher clocked and won't profit from a quad core. Still a stupid question, m8.

Looking for an ATX mobo

My first build mostly for gaming, my budget is 580$. Should I change something? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q9rBFd

I should have gone for the i3 6100 and taken a rx 480 but I already bought those parts.

>>58275010
why 6400 is bad,serious question?
Source or something?

>>58277719
Bad value for money and bad gaming performance.
i3-6100 is much higher clocked and cheaper, i5-6500 is not much more expensive but higher clocked as well.
The 6400 is only viable if you want an Intel quad core for cheap money.

How long do you keep boxes/packaging?

Is everything in this build compatible and will the powercolor rx480 8gb red devil fit into the sharkoon t3-v case?

How much maintenance does water cooling take? I know it would be much more than air cooling, but assuming I get the parts and don't change anything in them, how much effort is it to keep it going aside from changing the water every 5 to 6 months? This is for CPU and GPU cooling.

I have multi monitors and never close any program unless I really need it to and all monitors are all full with programs open

im experiencing lags when I play overwatch and nox and alt tab to chrome for some web browsing

I'm thinking about switching to intel cause it's more worth it compared to upgrading to a 8350?

I'm don't want to swap my RAM to DDR4 cause I got these 16gb and it's working fine for me but do I really have to if I want to switch to intel?

Looking to build a PC over a couple months, my current one is 11 years old now and the only things I haven't replaced in it are the motherboard/processor, RAM is old DDR2 so no longer usable. I'm hoping to salvage the graphics card, power supply, HDD's and DVD drive. I only use this PC to watch videos in my living room and over the past 1-2 years its been struggling to stream 1080P videos.
Power supply-600W
GPU-Radeon 6450
HDD's- 1 TB and 320 GB
Case will not be re-usable since its a left side mount (when looking at front).

The HDD nest in my tower is pretty compact, there's not a lot of room for airflow and as a result the HDDS often climb up to 70C. Is there anything I can do other than buying adjustment brackets to put them in the expansion slots?

hey guys, i have an i5 4570t, and recently i've noticed that is way slower than a year ago... should I go for the sixth gen or buy a cooler and overclock it?
i use my pc for gaming, editing video and photography, programming, daily tasks such as browsing in the web, listening music, etc.

Thinking of purchasing a new build for gaming, I suppose it's going to be a bit budgeted (around £1000-£1100) but compared to my existing it's going to be a fair upgrade.

I'm not too clued up on all the latest motherboards and what CPU's should be used with them etc. but I think one thing I've at least learned is that you should only really use the Z1Z0 motherboards with a 'K' processor if you plan to overclock as these two components are the only ones that will allow a CPU overclock? (Judging by product comparison between Z1Z0, H170 and H110 motherboards and googling the meaning of 'K' processors).

Is someone able to confirm this to a newbie please? I suppose it comes down to cost, whether or not you get the value for your money from the additional base clock speeds?

So if I was looking to play mainly at 1080p 60fps, I'm thinking of getting a 1060 paired with a i5 6600k with the idea of maybe overclocking in the future, but if I wasn't going to overclock at all, it might be worth going for the i5 6500 instead?

I also see some people referring to the i3 6100 instead of the i5 6500 due to it's base clock speed being higher over the i5 6500. I'm assuming for gaming purposes this would be because most video games don't use all 4 cores and the i3 is considerably cheaper?

Thanks in advance for helping a newbie!

>>58278352
Switch the NEX for a 500B or G2 550 and get a H110 or B150 mobo.

>>58278110
You need alot more info then that broseph. Can download speccy and give us the screenshot of whats in your computer if it can even take any upgrades.

Also if you got money to buy a 1070, chances are you can skimp down to a 1060 or 480 and build a whole new computer instead.

>>58277998
That's the conclusion I came to.

>>58278446
If you buy second hand i'd say GTX780.

>>58278479
>if i favour multitasking more than single tasks, would it still be better to get intel instead of amd?
Only if you get something like a 6700K or 6800K, otherwise stick with your 8350. You are also a perfect candidate for a Zen upgrade, so i recommend you to wait.

>I play overwatch
If it's for gaming why do you care about more cores/threads than core speed? A 6500 will probably run circles around your 8350 for most games.

>do I really have to if I want to switch to intel?
There are DDR3 compatible mobos, on standard DDR4 mobos you can't, those only take DDR4 and DDR3L, standard DDR3 will blow the memory controller.

>>58278495
You realize a PC to only watch 1080p can be built for like 400 bucks or so? You build is just retarded.

>>58278774
Want OC? Get Z170 + K CPU + 3000 RAM.
Don't want OC? Get standard i3 or i5 and H110 or B150 mobo, get H170 only if you need SLI/XCF.
For 1080p60fps a GTX1060 or RX480 is more than enough. If you plan to OC, get Z170 + 6600K, otherwise 6500 + see above is fine as well.
Don't get the i3-6100 if you can afford the i5-6500, many games already utilize quad core CPUs.

>>58278988

Thanks mate appreciate the clarification.

You've basically summarised what I was hoping to conclude, either get a 1060 and a Z1Z70 + 6600K for potential overclocking or an RX480 and a H110 + 6500 if no overclocking, which is going to be much better for the budget if I'm just looking at 1080p gaming.

Thanks also for the additional info such as staying away from H170 unless SLI plus the i3 if the i5 is affordable, very helpful stuff!

You're just shitposting, I went to logicalincrements to find out my build is pretty much a "modest" build, according to their guide, it should be able to run modern games at high settings on 30fps.

I'm pretty sure the build can handle Overwatch on 60fps without trouble, even if I have to turn settings to medium or low, all I want is constant framerate!

Here's a revised version of the same build:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wCDdM

I am still not decided between Athlon 4x 845 and 860k

I am inclining on the 845 because of the lower voltage, better cooling and because according to game-debate, it performs about 10% better than 860k even though it has slightly slower clockspeed

>>58278774
ok, listen to this.
It will be maybe a little unortodox for "know-alls" here but truth is "futureproofing" is an flawed concept
as things are in last ~6-7 years.
I had an great run with i5 2500k(would still suggest it), but things are diff now.
First choose fps and resolution you would like to play your games,then inform yourself about your "mustplay" games(cpu/gpu demands).That will give you clear pic if you need i3,i5,i7 /rx470,rx480,gtx1060,gtx1070(4 or 8 gb ddr5)etc,take into acc that nvidia gpu does not depend on cpu as amd gpu, that amd cpu/gpu has higher tdp and are warmer(but also take into acc that intvidia charge dearly for that (cooler and lower tdp while "faster")privilege).
Take into acc that 4 solid(with nice clocks) cores are better than 8ht(to the point,its better to turn off ht in some cases).
Also take into acc that all this could(or not) change overnight when ryzen/ps4pro/xboscorp became relevant(devs will always take priority with consoles).
So.where does that leave you, buy 80+ psu(better one, it could last you couple of builds), mobo check upgrade path( you can easily buy i3 6100 and replace it with 6600k if need arises), buy decent air cooler(people praise evo212 but i found some much cheaper coolers to do better job). Main thing is
>never be an early adopter nor buy pc on crossroads of gens(real generations,totally different arhitectures,not some small upgrade)
>never buy flagship anything,never fall in love in your hw(sell cpu/gpu, buy another,buy used,dont cry if you lose 20% value,maybe next big thing will drop value of your xpnsive hw up to 90%,ask titan owners ;))

For movies, shitposting, etc.: none.

make more sense?

Should I wait for kabylake or buy a skylake i7 right now?

(Currently 4690k @4.4)

>>58279774
I just installed the board lol.

So, I just out my PC together after upgrading the mobo, CPU, and graphics card. However, I'm noticing that now it boots up, but there's no beep and I'm not getting a display. What could I be doing wrong?
Specs:
>ASRock Z170 Extreme4
>Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini
>2x4GB DDR4 RAM
>Intel i5 6600k with NH-L9i cooler
Part of me is suspecting that it's just my graphics card not having a PCIe cord plugged into it (since my last card didn't use one) but I just thought I'd ask just in case.

Okay, so I keep getting the BSOD with a "memory_management" error. What the fuck does that mean and how can I fix it? I built this PC this week, so everything can be returned:

(New parts)
>GA Z170 HD3
>i5 6600K
>GTX 1060 6GB
>Corsair Vengence LPX ( 2x 8gb ) @ 3000mhz

(Already had these)
>Samsung 840 EVO 256GB
>Corsair tx650W PSU
>CoolerMaster case

My rams are running at 2133mhz by default even though it's 3000mhz OC'able. Should I OC it to fix the issue? Not sure how to remedy the problem.

Fuck no. Kabylake is DOA. Also why upgrade? 4690K @4.4 is fine.

It's your GPUs way of telling you to feed it more power, yes.

>>58279855
Does anything look broken?
Is the RAM correctly seated in the correct slots?
Did you activate XMP?
Did you update your BIOS?

Okay good. I'm gonna buy an extra PCIe cable tomorrow and see if it works. Also, will past drivers fuck up the boot process with my new parts? I forgot to uninstall some of the drivers from my old mobo and 750 TI

>>58279906
Is there an i3 ddr4 motherboard on the market?

can a AMD radeon HD 7800 series support multiple monitors

>>58279906
>>58279855
Nothing is broken, I checked all the parts.
Ram is seated in the slots correctly
I haven't activated XMP
I updated my BIOS to the latest version ( F6 was the stock firmware when I bought it and it was giving me the the same issue then, less frequent on the new update though )

>>58279929
>I'm gonna buy an extra PCIe cable
What PSU do you have that doesn't have a 6 ping for your GPU?

>>58279954
If you have to ask this question is suggest you buy a prebuilt before you fuck up your parts.
Seriously... those builds, those questions, you're only going to hurt yourself.

>>58279971
Try to boot with only one stick (try with each stick), see your mobo manual for which slot to use.

>>58279992
It probably came with one but I may have fucked up a while back and tossed the box with it still in there

>>58279954

>>58280025
Bottom tier Skylake i5, a compatible motherboard, and an RX480 or above / equivalent. Want me to do a Newegg build for you?

Yes. Corsair LPX 3000 is good RAM, usually get the cheapest RAM with your desired speed.
Faulty RAM, while rare, can happen. If that's really your problem it's bad luck.

alright here is the challenge. I want a gaming rig but for $200. Can it be done?

>watch a review of the new Kaby Lake i3K

>>58279992
I suggest you come up with intelligent answers if you're going to as an xbox player if he plans to buy ddr3 in 2017 for a media PC. I'm not a computer snob, I don't waste my time and energy on this shit, i'm just trying to get decent advice just like I would give someone else in my line of work/hobbies. I'm shitpost from an 11 year old victorian era PC thats had more work done to it than kim kardashian's ass and it still works for most of my needs. I just need to update for better performance watching videos not trying to get the most FPS out of it on the latest and greatest shooter.

This goddamn site sometimes, it's no wonder people end up on /b/

>>58280106
Depends on the game and what you already have, even an antique Dell collecting dust could save money. Definite no if you need a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Otherwise? Maybe.

Also, if you're willing to use used parts, definitely. Look for something like a Q6600, an 8800GTX equivalent, and 4GB of RAM.

>>58280080
>>58280039
Just out of curiosity, when you build everything and install the OS, which drivers are necessary? On the Gigabyte website, there are a ton for 8.1 ( the OS im on right now )

I did the audio/chipset/nvidia drivers for now. Was there anything else I needed perhaps?

>>58280011
It seems overkill for what I need though, i'm not using it for any gaming at all. I'm only streaming videos and watching stuff in my living room

>>58280150
but the memes, anon, the memes

desu it's only actually a good idea if you get a z170 board on a killer sale (~$100)

if you do go that route, it lets you upgrade to Sky or Kaby Lake K-series chips down the road if you want; without paying much extra ($20-30 on sale)

How much longer do the 1151s have?

>>58280193
Kaby Lake will be 1151, and supposedly so will whatever comes after it (because Intel botched their higher end 10nm process and it will only be used in the mobile market, so Skylake is getting two refreshes instead of one)

So you're good into 2019.

>>58279971
Activate XMP

>>58280125
well I want to be able to play modern games even if I have to set things a bit low. I'm on a laptop that can't run diablo 3 with everything on low, that is where I am coming from.

http://www.microcenter.com/product/444303/GX755_Windows_7_Professional_Desktop_Computer_Refurbished

something like that and then add a graphics card?

>>58280114
And i suggest you either invest one hour, which is more than enough, or simply buy a prebuilt.
Why? Because you have ZERO idea about what you're talking.

>>58280126
>I did the audio/chipset/nvidia drivers for now
Apart from this some mobo specific features might require drivers, additional hardware, etc.
No idea about Windows 8.1/10, though. I'm on 7 and don't plan to switch any time soon.

>>58280222
If you can get that and something like a used radeon 7770, it should work. In theory. The Q6600 is still at least i3 tier. You're taking a risk buying used parts though, and you obviously have no upgrade path.

>>58280181
See that makes sense to me, I'll spend the money if I need to and in a few years when the i7 comes down i'll toss one of those in it, new GPU, and that should keep me running into 4K

>>58280254
and in the mean time, if you get the right z170 motherboard (I personally have a gigabyte HD3P) you can indulge the memes and overclock your i3

>>58280231
Sorry I don't have the time to deal with DDR3 vs 4 wizard talk. It's a waste of time when DDR2 can do what I want.

>>58280267
Thanks for the advice kind anon, That's probably the route I'll go down.

>>58278838
Retarded as hell, why don't you go to sleep or some shit.
The price difference between a 1060 and 1070 is roughly around $150-200, give me a product that he can get that's better than his current system with that amount? Don't worry, I'll wait.

Is skylake better than haswell? pls respond

>>58278556
you'll need longer cables if you do that
try getting some cooling mattes that get plugged into a liquid cooling system, some direct current cooling heatsinks(good for 5-8 degrees by themselves), or just get a cheap 80 dollar walmart fridge, a cheap n small dehumidifier with tubing attached.
Put the entire computer into the fridge, have hole for power and connection cables to your computer and the dehumidifier. Another smaller hole for the dehumidifiers water outlet.
Now the entire thing can be cooled to freezing temps without moisture problems.
Only con is the massive electrical costs.

>>58275303

"buh buh is upgradesable!"shut the fuck up. If you upgrade it, buy a cooler then.

If you cut out the "upgradeable" meme, you can afford an rx 480 8gb or gtx 1060 6gb WITH AFTERMARKET COOLERS, FFS. If you bought 2133mhz ram and a b150 mobo, you could still upgrade to an I7 6700.

1 card is always better than crossfire
theres a reason that you only see doubling up on graphics cards with 1070s or better

>>58281697
So having 1 GPU with twice the RAM is better than having 2 GPUs, even if both GPU's are the exact same brand?

>>58281682
I don't understand why you don't just build a server.

>>58281582
Literally no decent from AMD CPUs for gaming. If you're rendering, used 8350+mobo+RAM combo. Have to wait for Zen, which isn't too far out

Gfx get a 470

>>58280222

>>58281737
With only one video card the PSU fan doesn't even spin, but even with 2 300W video cards and overclocking the CPU the total power draw should stay under 1kW. What I like about the ax1500i is its efficiency.

In any case, it's powered through an APC UPS so it'll let me know if power consumption gets extreme.

My old desktop computer has recently crashed.
It's had moments in the past where it's just frozen, made a terrible sound and the only way I managed to make it work if that every time I did that I needed to re-seat the RAM.
Currently the following has happened:
> Run the machine as a NAS
> OS is frozen
> Does hard reboot
> Doesn't power back on
> Unplug the power and plug it back in
> It turned on for a second and then failed
> Unplugged it again and put it back in
> Now it won't start at all
I've pulled it apart and the power supply seems to be okay.
However when I plug in the huge white plug into the mother board and try starting it just with that the fan spins for 2 seconds and stops.
There isn't any beep code and I'm 99% sure it's the motherboard but I might get a new power supply while I'm at it.

Reseat the following:
The RAM. If you didn't hear it click in properly, you fucked up.
The GPU. If you didn't hear it click in properly, you fucked up.
Make sure the standoffs, those little bronze things, are installed in the case to support the mobo from not touching the case itself.

I mean come on, Intel has pretty much been stagnant because they have no competition. AMD has put serious money and time in their R&D.

With the walls we are hitting, its not at all surprising or unreasonable to think that AMD can catch up.

>the 480 can compete meme

Is there any reason why I should get a mid tower case (looking at Define R5) over an mATX case like the Corsair Air 240 if I'm doing a fairly standard gaming build? (air cooling, 1 GPU, nothing fancy)

Will I be paying much more for the smaller form factor parts?

The mid tower just seems a bit big for me, especially for moving it (going to my friends on occasion)

Was thinking of upgrading my very old computer to play in 4K so I will have to start fresh.
Should I wait some more time or it is time to upgrade?

>>58279761
something's wrong with your ram speed

>>58285275
4K is still a bit useless at the moment. New games don't run well in it and there isn't sufficient films that use it for it to be worth having.

>>58282288
thank you! Also, is there any advantage between the mouse being ps/2 over USB?

>>58285275
If you want to play new games at high settings in 4K and 60FPS you'll need GTX 1080 SLI at least right now. Not even a Titan XP is enough in terms of single-GPU. A single 1080 Ti won't be enough either more than likely, nor will 1 Vega card since going by the leaks it seems to compete around the 1080 level. If you want proper performance at 4K nowadays you're going for multi-GPU.

>>58285425
if you have a PS/2 port, it frees up a USB port.

...but your motherboard is unlikely to even have a PS/2 port these days. some USB keyboards used to not work in BIOS, but that was 10 years ago.

>>58285588
oh you're talking about a mouse. my bad.

I found a 4GB GTX 970 on Craigslist for $120 used. Would it be a good buy over a new RX480 4GB ($200)?

there isnt any good measuring other than benchmarks. GHZ is meaningless. What matters more is how much shit it gets done with those cycles

>>58286068
By making them equal I was hoping to get an answer about the architecture or what it does differently.

>>58286158
Clock speed is obviously one of the major factors that contributes to performance, although not the only one. /g/ has taken this to the retarded extreme of almost disregarding clock frequency, even when comparing CPUs which are very similar in terms of IPC.

People disregarding frequency are at about the same level as the "it's amps that kill, not volts" retards who do not understand how voltage is important in regards to the current reaching a lethal level.

Old toaster I pulled out of storage, want to set it up for a visitor pc for when the kids are over.

only needs BF1 1080p 45 fps stable/medium. I have a freesync monitor for it on the way.

I posted earlier that my buddy had an i5-3470 for $50, well he said he'd throw in a 4g 290 blower :( for another $100 and I talked him down to $120 and a fan controller. His parts are from a htpc he updated, haven't been overclocked and look clean.

flash the z68 to uefi bios to unlock ivy bridge turbo. Lock it at x40 for 4.0/3.8 and possibly bclk to 105mhz at x38 for 4.0 on all cores if this board doesnt support MCE like the z68 sniper.

could I find a used cooler on ebay and replace the blower setup? its a sapphire if it matters.

Open to suggestions or if anyone can piece together a better performer than the link.

Worried about 440w draw on an old 500w psu. I could undervolt the gpu as much as possible or should I just get a RX460 4g?

I agree on not buying AIO but CM meme is getting old. Either go for NH-D15 or Scythe Fuma/Mugen 5.

I'm running a (at the time) mid range PC for about 5 years now so it's basically ancient. I run GTAV at below minimal settings and have FPS issues in a lot of newer games. I want to get an assembled PC (mid range) for roughly 700 euros.

Just Cause 3, GTAV, high FPS on older games like ETS2, that's kinda what I'm aiming for. I also want to go dual screen but I get different signals from different people. I currently have a very old Samsung monitor which could perfectly work as a 2nd screen with a bigger, better main screen. Do I need anything specific hardware wise for that to work?

This post doesn't help your autism, m8. A doctor might, i suggest professional help.

Here's some math for you:
>Fractal Design Define R5 w/Window, 8x3.5" bay, fan controller, incl. 2x140mm silent fan -- $82.99
>additional fans: Fractal Design GP14-WT 68.4 CFM 140mm Fan <20dbA -- $10.99 each x 4 = $43.96
>RGB LED strips are pure autism, but for the sake of just including it...
>NZXT HUE RGB controller -- about $40
>cheap RGB LED strip -- about $6 each, make that 4 -- $24
>Total --- $190.95

Meaning you can get a custom setup for just 190 bucks. If you leave out the autistic LEDs you're done with $126.95.

>>58288933
They seem to be the lowest because the sellers systematically raise the prices in small steps to be able to provide those special sales. Do note that some good special offers exist.
Overall it's just a jewish trickery and people fall for it. Where i live prices are lowest around mid year. Considering that's when and after 1080ti, Kaby Lake, Zen and maybe Vega release, prices should drop significantly.

If you get a K (unlocked) CPU, get a Z170 motherboard. The point of the K is you can overclock it. You cannot overclock on a H170 motherboard, it has to be a Z170.

You are paying for features you cannot use. Also read the OP pastebins.

Guess i wont play the new RE at launch.

>>58289077
alright, I'll just drop down to the 6700. I don't intend to overclock.

>>58289138
That's a reasonable choice. Bear in mind the 6700 is locked at 3.4 GHz / 4.0GHz boost compared to the 6700K at 4.0GHz / 4.2GHz boost.

It would also be a reasonable choice to keep the 6700K, switch the mobo to a Z170, google how to overclock and apply a gentle overclock. There's only about a $30 difference and you should be able to hit 4.4 - 4.5GHz with very little difficulty.

>>58289228
I just looked at the prices and it would be like 10$ more to drop down to the 6700 so I'll probably just upgrade to the
ASUS Z170-E and breakeven.

I've overclocked my old AMD stuff and it died on me after a small overclock and the next died with no overclock. so I've decided not to overclock anymore and just run stock.

also why is the evo 212 bad? I mean I've looked into a nocturn but I can't justify the price (other than it being more quiet)
