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

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

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

Kaby Lake has been released! Skylake is depreciated if corresponding chips are similarly priced (e.g., i5 7600K vs i5 6600K)!
>Some motherboards will have a one-click, 5GHz on air OC button that works for 80% of i5 7600Ks
>Z series chipsets have an "Enhanced Turbo", which allows all cores to run at the highest single core boost clockspeed (works for Skylake CPUs as well)
>Pentiums now have hyperthreading, and are thus the new default budget / entry level gaming CPUs
>Pentium G4560 is the best price / perf four thread CPU on a modern platform
>All Kaby Lake CPUs work natively with 2400MHz DDR4 memory

How is this?
Any suggestions to this low end workstation?

>>58607373
i3-6100 still has AVX and AVX2 instructions enabled, making them far better for heavy application and workload. Much to my dismay, I've discovered how crap the Pentium G4600 is as a headless VM server over the i3-7100T.

First of all, OpenCL is shit.

Second of all, you're using an outdated processor with DDR3.

Get a Quadro K620 and an i5 skylake, or wait to see if Intel brings out something better in Kaby Lake.
>>
>>58607266
Sorry m8, I tried to warn people to hold off for the hyperthreaded Kaby Lake Pentiums, but I fell off for a bit and retards took over the thread

Flash your mobo with the Kaby Lake update so that you can use the Enhanced Turbo on your CPU

>>58607330
>Kaby Lake i5-i7 lineup is dogshit.
It's slightly better than Skylake, retard.

>>58607399

>>
>>58607521
Look up your motherboard manufacturer driver website, often times they have a program to help you slipstream drivers in your win7 install.
>>
>>58607581
Well the Kaby Lake lineup is rather underwhelming, I was expecting significant improvements in the i5-i7 range, like what intel did with the Xeon.
>>
>>58607595
You can't install without some serious hassle. Even Skylake was a bitch with Win7. At this point there aren't any guides for Kaby that I've seen.

Anyway GNU/Linux with a Win7 VM is the way to go if you want Win7

You and literally no one else. Everyone knew that the i5 and i7s were just a refresh. Your unrealistic expectation doesn't make the CPUs are shit
>>
>>58607606
When installing Win7 through USB on Z170 boards, there's issues with the USB 3.0 ports that can only be addressed after the installation
>>
>>58607609
>And which mass market ATX boards come with two or more Ethernet ports
Look for $160+ motherboards, particularly B150, Q170, H170, Z170, C232, and C236 motherboards. There are quite a few of them that offer an additional i219 or i210 NIC for port teaming and failovers.
Like I said, my Xeon D-1518 motherboard has two i210AT NICs, which are additional individual controllers on the motherboard's PCB, but it is a server chipset that does away with large aftermarket-style heatsinks everywhere for space efficiency.
>that's saying Kaby lake has better audio
There are no audio controllers on the CPU itself, moron.
>8 phases and 6 VRMs is totally using up the extra 2 inches that ATX has while even ITX boards have had 10+2 for 5 years
Name more than one ITX motherboard with that many powerphases and doesn't use a daughterboard. Space is still at a premium on mATX motherboards, which is why many Z-chipset mATX boards have less than 6 power phases.
>I'm sorry you buy shit boards and complain when they're shit
I don't pay for them, my clients do. And I haven't had a shitty board that didn't come from MSI or Biostar in ages.
>>58607663
I've had little to no problem with ASRock boards, which is great because their customer service and tech support is fucking atrocious to deal with. I'd rate it the same as Gigabyte in quality, but with redeeming quirks.

>>58607683
It is a size restriction as well. To fit that NIC, they had to either remove or place components to make it fit. The problem with NICs is that they need to be within close proximity to the port itself.

literally nothing unless you already have sky lake, he's just saying to not go with kaby lake because it's not compatible with that mobo out of the factory
>>
>>58608042
Cost more for insignificant performance increase. Not compatible with Windows 7/8, forcing you to use Botnet 10. Not worth it
>>
>>58608061
Also this. You have to go through more trouble to use it with 100 series motherboards, which are cheaper than 200 series.

>>58608063
>>58608061
So would a skylake i7 be compatible with the mobo?

it costs the same and it's better
so unless people are autistic like you and complain about "muh botnet", there is no reason not to choose a kaby lake on a new build

Looking for a ~550Euros build without the case and PSU. Need to have a good upgrade path, but I wanna see if it is possible to overclock non-K Kaby Lake. Don't know which motherboard to chose tho, just picked cheapest Z270 with ASRock Hyper BCLK Engine II to have some idea what I can spend. The CPU is basically a placeholder for an upgrade when I earn/save for it and find a good deal.

My approach to this non-K OC thing is:
If it works - GREAT!;
if it doesn't - at least I have got a good board for a future upgrade


I am learning programming, photo and video editing - In that order, already know some basics about some of those, just want to step up my game. My laptop died so I had to switch to my old computer (C2D E8500, 4GB DDR3, GTX 550Ti) wich does hinder my progress.

>not wanting your info to be sold out to advertisers

>>58608049
Not out of the box, retard. You have to flash the BIOS, which you can't do without a Skylake CPU installed in the socket, unless you have a gigabyte board.

Don't talk about shit you don't know

>>58608162
Apparently you don't, because it's a 1.5% price increase for 5% stock performance increase with a chance for a higher OC.

>>58608178
If you're getting a Z270, get 3000MHz RAM

>>58608215
Holy shit, use a 200 series chipset. Just because the socket is the same does not mean that it will work out of the box.
>>
>>58608245
>just turn it off
the extra work just to use kaby lake on a 100 series mobo without getting spied upon is really worth that performance increase that is only noticeable in benchmarks?

As in, what components are good, how do I set it up, past just assembling it?
>>
>>58608215

obviously if it's on a 100 series mobo you're better off getting a skylake, that's not what I was talking about. If it's a new build with a new 200 mobo you wouldn't pay the same amount for something inferior

I mean you would but normal non-autistic people wouldn't and have no reason to either

>>58608234

If I am going to listen to the advice above and go with 3000MHz RAM, dropping down to 1050Ti will make a room in the budget for it.

But, besides that, mind telling me why to go with nvidia? RX470 is just 20 more euros expensive and offers more than enough performance to justify those extra monies. I haven't owned an AMD card since HD3850.

Currently on a budget right now and I pretty much have an outdated build, hoping to upgrade my gaming pc by the time I finish the semester.

>CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 960T Black Edition
>Mobo: ASRock 970 Extreme4
>Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 612 v2
>Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws (4x2gb) 1600 Mhz
>GPU: Zotax GTX 1050 Ti
>PSU: Corsair TX850W
>Case: Cooler Master Haf 932

So I hope to have a $200-$350 budget by the end of the semester and I pretty much want to upgrade everything except the GPU and the PSU.

I'm from the Philippines though so I won't be able to get ones from newegg or amazon due to shipping costs.

Hey guys.

I think my mobo is going to the shit so I need a new one. I'm in the UK. I mainly use it for vidya but I'm not massively into modern games so I just need something that is going to get the job done. My current one is an msi z87-G45, can I get a recommendation on a replacement.

Also might as well also ask this. I have a 770 and I'd like some more power but I can't justify upgrading. Would it be worth picking up another 770 used for a boost or should I just ditch the card. Would I need to get the EXACT same card or does it just need to be a 770?

Thoughts on this one? trying to get a budget gaming pc under 1000AUD. My standards aren't high because I've been using an Aspire 5750 for gaming for 6 years now. It's that low.

When you guys buy your computers, do you buy everything all at once or do you buy it piece by piece?

I bought a case to house some components given to me, and I'd like to start buying new components to replace them. but I just keep putting together list after list on PCPP and changing my mind.

Right now my build is sitting at about 1800, and while I can afford to buy it outright, I'd rather wait while prices rise and drop. But it's so hard to just think of how nice it will be to put it all together.

What are you going to play at 1080p without a discrete GPU, fucking minesweeper?

Ditch the retarded mobo for something cheap but reliable (your non-k i5 doesn't care), ditch the fulltower for a S340 and use the money to get a cheap discrete GPU (or get a cheaper CPU and a better discrete GPU, today's vidya is almost always GPU bound).
Get either 2x4 or 2x8 GB DDR4.

I mean I can tell that rig is going to do me a good time plenty, thats for sure. But for instance if i want to get a i7-6700/k plus cooler and something like GTX 1080, then idk maybe I want a mid or full case. Maybe new mobo too.

There's also aesthetics to keep in mind, though. I'm halfway through my build, and decided to switch from ITX to ATX simply because the S340 Elite came out. Hands down, best looking case on the market in my humble, entirely subjective opinion.

That case doesn't look like it has room for a big cooler especially with the PSU over the CPU socket. With ITX builds, you really have to know what you want to put in it beforehand because it's costlier to upgrade things.

If you're concerned about upgradability but still want compactness, there's always microATX.

If you still want to go for an ITX build, you could try looking at cases like the Core 500 or the Node 304, or go even larger with the NZXT Manta and Enthoo Evolv ITX. I have a Node 304 with an ASUS Z170I PRO GAMING motherboard and it can fit an okay size GPU and an NH-U14S along with 4 hard drives comfortably.

Are there any CPU-offloading features their programs can take advantage of? CUDA accelerated? OpenGL? etc
I can tell you that something like the Xeon D-1518 fits the bill for those workstation (an 8-core Xeon D-1541 is probably a bit better for the task and gives you room to add more virtual machines in the future without worrying about CPU wait times). Those two workstations will need more power than that, probably a six-core or greater machine each.

http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-8C_-LN2F.cfm
(same as above, but without the 2 10GbE ports)
and a six-core option
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-6C_-TLN4F.cfm
Which is hard as balls to find stocked anywhere, so you're much better off with the 8-core variants

They all only have one 16 lane PCIe slot, so you're kind of limited with what you can add onto these boards, but there are other options from Supermicro that include a built-in LSI HBA adapter for up to four additional HD-SAS ports.

>>
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jRZFHN

Sfter a lot of hate in these threads I think I've just about gotten down my perfect build.

Some of my reasoning behind the parts
7700k/1080 - Why not? Go big or go home
Asus Z270 TUF - It's one of the cheaper 270 boards that isn't black and red. Plus it has reinforced connections for big GPUs and 6 SATA slots for multiple hard drives
Seagate HDD - not only cheaper than the comparable WD 2TB 7200rpm drives, but has better performance
Cooler Master case - easy to remove and add drive space when necessary, and plenty of room to add in anything. Also, I already own it.
Blue fans - because I'm an adult and that's what adults can do
Fan controller - the motherboard doesn't give the option to turn the fans off completely, which I wanted to have

yes
basically same performance as the processor you chose but for 1/3 the price
a z270 mobo will cost a little more but you might end up saving money. And it'll give you room to a future CPU upgrade if you want, plus getting all the features of the z270 over the z170 (which aren't many but newer is always better than older)

the first option is probably the cheapest and the best, but availability on the g4560 might be a problem. If you found a store that has it then go for it.

well with me personally, im been using a duo core i5 2.4ghz for a long time, and honestly, anything that is skylake/kabylake thats over 3.0ghz under 100-200$ takes the cake for me.

Maybe duo core holds me back a little, but still. If i had more money, i go for an i5

it really can't do -that- much. you're still gonna struggle for 60fps even in 720p, and it will be a big bottleneck. but you can use it in the meantime until you save up cash for something like a 7600K, which is a champ.

Would an i3 be better? I really can't fork over 200$ for a cpu right now.

Also would this be a good set up? I already have a rx470 so it's only going to be about 500$ to build this.

>>58611335
I probably won't OC anytime soon. the current set up(that I'm buying) can play mostly everything at 1080p just fine for now. And in the future I can settle on 720p.

But christ OC is expensive as a whole. You have to get a PSU that can handle it, you have to get a Motherboard that can even do it and you need a after market cooler or liquid cooler to keep it going.

Almost seems like you are better off just buying better parts than spending a bunch of money maxing them out.

The sweet spot for value is usually around 700-900 USD or 800-1000 EUR, at least imo.
Most people will be fine with something like a 6500 + B150 + 8/16GB RAM + 240GB SSD (+ 1TB HDD) + RX480 or GTX1060 + 500/550W PSU.

Whats a good pre-filled liquid CPU cooler?
>>
A friend's mother board/CPU died, so another friend choiced the part for him, and ended buying an H210 and an i5-7600K becuase for some reason the 7600K is 259€ at one online store instead of 286€, and the non K one is literally 10€ more at the same store.

they both say shit about overclock and that it will just kill the CPU and that it's not noticeable. I'm trying to convice them to return the mobo and to get a z270, the problem is that he paid 70€ for a micro ATX H210 mobo, and the cheapest micro/mini z270 are 125€.

What do? Is there a really super cheap micro/mini z270 or maybe a full ATX?

are kaby lakes worth having to use this shit?
>>
>>58612482

don't be so condescending, you idiots need to explain to these guys why it's not that beneficial.

>>58612545

liquid CPU coolers are typically used for aesthetics or where air flow is tough.

NZXT and Noctua build good liquid coolers, just depends on your needs and how much you can fit. There are square 120mm and 140mm, and rectangular 240mm and 280mm. Depending on how much you want to overlock and what sort of case you're building in will determine the size of your radiator.

But really if you're doing an overclock on a fairly efficient chip, a metal heatsink will do just as good of a job if you're willing to pump air through the case. be quiet! and Noctua have good metal heatsinks. Again, these come in different sizes and arrangements depending on your needs and constrictions.
>>
>>58612731

Once you get rid of the bloat and turn off all the monitoring stuff, W10 isn't that bad.

I do dislike the notifications, and how it constantly tries to sell you on windows products like Edge and Cortana. But I invested a good 30 minutes when I first opened my new laptop and now it's not intrustive at all.

Also, you can get a free W10 download through .iso that will leave a watermark and track everything, but it's free and usable while you're saving up for a key.

Anything you would change to save some $ but at the same time get around the same performance? He will be doing music production and some gaming.
>>
>>58612857
How old is your cousin and how good is he in computers? Is he really going to use an over clocked system at it's fullest potential? Is he an enthusiasts? My guess is that he isn't otherwise he'd build it himself. Why are you going all out on the cpu but getting a gtx 1060?

If you're going to go with this at least get a z270 mobo, a gtx 1070 at minimum and drop down to a 650w psu. You don't really need a liquid cpu cooler.
>>
>>58612920
>z270
Pretty decent with computers, just has never built one, looking to build him one that lasts 5+ years. He doesn't need amazing graphics right now, will upgrade in the future. Why do you suggest the z270 vs what I have selected? I selected the 650w psu as you suggested. He is 18.

You do realize there is only one gfx card in the world that better than a 1070?

>>58612731
Use GNU/Linux with a Win7 VM w/ GPU passthrough

>>58612556
Either, basically whichever is cheaper

>>58612408
Depends on your router, if it has 5GHz then something that supports that.

>>58611822
Get 240GB SSDs. RAID is usually for redundancy, so if you have a drive fail, your data is safe.

>>58613634
>You do realize there is only one gfx card in the world that better than a 1070?
What I meant is if he's going to pay out the ass for the rest, he should at least get a GPU to match, most people at that point would get a 1080. No need to be a cunt about it.
