My ram is two months old and I get blue screens every now and then. The ram is 3000mhz gskill with XMP on and it fails both memtest and Windows memory diagnostics in either pair of slots
What do I do?
It was $67 when I bought it, buying the same ram again at prices now would be cuckery

1070 is not a viable card anymore and this thread is shit

I don't per se have a budget but I don't want to WASTE money, if that makes sense. I want to play games at 1440p 144Hz. Should I just wait a bit for Zen and all that before pulling the trigger?

If it's 2 months old, I'm assuming it was likely purchased sometime in December? If it was Newegg, you could potentially check to see if it's covered under their extended Holiday warranty shit, unsure about Amazon.
Failing that, disable XMP and rerun memtest. If it's still failing, try undervolting it. Rerun memtest, if it's still fucked, try calling or contact G.Skill support.

After all of that, if everything failed, your only option is to RMA it; or simply buy new ram.

Building an i7-7700k system with AIO cooler and GTX 1080 Hybrid. Corsair Air 540 Case.

Should I put the CPU cooler on the top of the case and the GPU cooler on the front? Or vise-versa? Suggestions?

>>58759875

depends. are you comfortable with going into the BIOS to overclock the RAM? if you are, you should see a minute difference between that and 2400hz. realistically.....3000mhz is a bit of a trend....

>>58759897

with the 7700k you should get at least a 240mm or 280mm cooler. put that on the top and the GTC cooler on the back. have have both pulling air out of the case with some heavy-duty 140mm on the front pushing air into the case.

>>58759908
actually I don't even know how to overclock, that's the reason why I buy a processor non K, but a MoBo for larger RAM... but if you say that, I'll chose to buy an H270 MoBo

Drop down to a 550w psu, everything else is fine.

Few quick questions:
1. Is it necessary to have an i7 if I just play games with high/ultra detail at 1080p@≥60fps?
2. Is it necessary to have a Noctua 9cm CPU cooler or even an Alphacool AIO cooler if I don't overclock the CPU, but have my PC enclosed in a Corsair Carbide 100R?
3. I will have an NVMe SSD as OS disk, and will have only one VGA card. Should I go for Kabylake+Z270 or Skylake+Z170?

If you guys want me to elaborate more I soon will. Until then I appreciate any answer.

Where are all you triple-monitor G27-owning motherfuckers when /ovg/ is racing? Did you buy those wheels just for decoration?

And why the fuck aren't you playing Whiplash?

I already have a personal computer, but I'm thinking of building a super cheap computer for fun both on the hardware and software level. I want to be able to buy multiple cheap parts for it, for example multiple cheap gpu's and be able to switch it out really easily. I also want to be able to connect it to a rasbery pi, arduino ETC. So it can't be too ancient like an atari or something. Software wise, I'm not thinking about playing games on it or anything so thats not a big deal. I just want to be able to install an OS, text editors, connect to servers ETC.

How low can I go in terms of CPU/GPU/motherboard ETC to be able to achieve this?

>>58760589
1. you can do 60fps even with an i3, it MOSTLY depends on your GPU, but try try not to bottleneck your pc
2. CPU coolers are greatfor expanding the lifespawn of a cpu, so consider it
3. it depends... which processor do you have?

Should I go for GA-Z170-D3H, or maybe Z170-K is a better choice?
Also, it worth getting skylake motherboard with PCI slots at all? I mean, hooking up PCI network adapter (in case something went wrong with on board one) or decent sound card is nice and stuff, but will all that work with Win10?

Thanks for the tips. I have had an AMD phenom II x6 based PC for six years and I plan to build a new PC a week later. Just being not sure which Lake to choose.

>>58760865
Thanks. Dude. Pretty satisfied with this shit. Hope the Ssd will be my endgame.
For now.

are there any portable "desktop" chassis for sale?
basically the idea is someone that, first and foremost, uses regular desktop computer components, where you can choose which ones parts you want without being incredibly limited, that you can freely replace as certain ones become obsolete.

by portable, i mostly mean being able to take it with you without having to detach and pack the screen and keyboard wherever you bring your computer, instead having they attached with no wires to tangle

obviously I'm accepting reasonable setbacks from a laptop, i would be okay with it being 50-75 pounds, and not having an internal battery, but i would expect it to not be so unreasonably sized (volume wise) that i would be have great difficulty moving it myself.

>>58760934
Yes, there are plenty of ITX and mATX cases on the market.

Hello. In this build, I won't be pushing the i7 too much, mainly focusing on pushing the 1070, but nothing insane. Which is why I didn't get an MSI Gaming X. Will the H7 suffice for cooling the i7?

>>58760934
I think having the screen and keyboard built-in to a desktop computer is something that died off back in the late 80s.

>>58760945
did you just read the first line of my post?
i had already tried looking for smaller chassis, but i really don't want to have to use a power drill or welding equipment to assemble a screen and keyboard to it, with folding mechanisms.

The only thing like that, that i know of is military computers, there's a few different types, and they're prohibitively expensive. I've never used or been near one and have no clue if they're upgradeable.

Another thing is "rack mounted lcd" or "terminal", which is basically a keyboard and screen in laptop format and to be fold away in a server rack. never used one of those neither.

>>58760934
I would encourage you to build something like this yourself, as it honestly doesn't exist, unless you want this fucking behemoth.

>>58761001
So just get a bag that can fit a keyboard and a lcd screen in addition to your sandwich sized computer

>>58761001
If that's a strict requirement, get a laptop. You'll never find it in a desktop form factor.

Though, if I recall correctly, you can get a barebones machine that has a "case" stuck to the back of a 34" ultrawide monitor. I remember seeing it somewhere, don't remember what it's called though.

>>58760981
but why?
i was originally briefly looking up how to build a new laptop, (as my current one was just picked off a Walmart shelf)
and pretty much the first thing i learned was that all laptops are pretty much prebuilt or incredibly limited to what parts can be used with other ones.
not to mention that they cost more and preform worse in general compared to desktop components.
and if any part of them gets damaged, even just the casing, you have to just buy a new thing because the shells consist of only like 3 or four parts that don't get sold sold separately and the components likely wouldn't fit into another laptop shell, if anyone even sold empty laptop shells.

You can build a small itx (or smaller, say, STX or NUC if you don't need a GPU and are okay with soldered CPUs) and carry a portable USB monitor around with a small wireless + mouse combo.

Especially if you don't need a GPU you can even look into adding a battery for it as the power usage will be very low.

Something that might interest you is the new micro-STX form factor introduced by ASRock a few days ago, which is basically a laptop motherboard for desktop PCs. It allow you to use laptop MXM GPUs (which aren't available for sale unless stripped off a system, at least for now). I'd say a project like that on one of these boards would be feasible

>>58761021

wish there more plain, squared design laptops with no model or company branding.
everything is too fucking curved and gimmicky.

when i tried looking for laptops almost all of them were advertising being able to swivel in some retarded fashion, having a touchscreen, and coming with the horrific new windows versions and heaps of shovelware.
the had they audacity to mention being a half assed tablet as as a selling point

If they didn't look like that, they were tryhard gamer meme computers.

I can understand overclocking and longevity, but I think those still fit into the 450w I've given it. As for upgrading, I have almost no intention of doing so with this build in particular. I may upgrade my ATX tower down the line, but this one is going to be a bit more transient.

Hello /pcbg/, first time poster. I'm wondering what kind of cpu cooler and fans I should get for my build. It's kinda old and hot at idle so I figured a new case and fans would be the best purchase. It would be cool to get a good cpu cooler and overclock to get some more out of this thing. Any recs would be great.

Also, I was wondering what kind of 2nd monitor I should get. 1080p 144hz or 1440p 60hz.

>>58760967

Stick with an i5 for that build.

Whenever I plug in my 1060 and boot, the fans run, but I get a black screen

>>58758618
look dude, i know you think the slim design is cool and the handle is convenient, but you're paying a premium for something that only matters for the 1 minute walk to the car and the 1 minute walk to the house. try this. blower style cooler on the vidya card is intentional. No SSD because your build didn't have an SSD. The motherboard has built-in wifi. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FKYrWX

>>58761624

Okay I'll do that.

My fans hook up to a cable which is attached to what seems to be a Molex plug. It can plug into stuff in the front and accept a plug from the back.
My peripheral/molex PSU plug won't fit into it though. Is it meant for something else or is it just shit quality? I'm currently only running one fan connected directly into the Motherboard.

Budget / location? For secondary monitors 24" 1080p 60Hz are the best choice.

hey guys, first time i get to build a REAL gaming rig, so please bear with me, and thank you in advance.

im a bit worried about picking parts, that either dont fit well in my case, or don't run well together, so i went to look at some other peoples builds.

my budget: under $1400 (i've saved up for a bit)

location: denmark, can ship from germany if that helps.

I was hoping to get 2x 24" 1080p 144Hz monitors, using just 1 for gaming.

after a bit of research, it seems to me like the gtx 1070 seems like great bang-for-your-buck, and something about the asus dual being overclocked out of the box? i obviously dont have experience with doing that myself, though on the same note, the i5-7600K looks like a great start and easily worth also overclocking.


Here's a newish build that seems like a good start to me.

https://pcpartpicker.com/b/RypG3C

its obviously biased since the guy works at Asus, but his reasonings seem very solid.

is the auto tuning suite legit?
does the Asus/color theme compromise the builds value? is the out the box gpu overclock a meme? should i wait for ryzen + Vega?

sorry for my clumsy post.

This will be my main pc. i can purchase the standard one and ill only have to add £44.00 or i can add £300 for 16gb ram and 512ssd (next pic)

what do you think /g/ ?

1070 is a trash 1440p/144Hz Gsync card and if you can't admit that, you have problems.

Enjoy dropping below 60 if you play on high or mod any texture/ENB at all.

>>58763698
What do you study? If it's CS or something you may want 16GB RAM or at least a laptop that's serviceable by the user, such as a thinkpad.
256GB of storage is enough, use cloud for non relevant shit and Extrnal 1TB for the rest.

thats my first ever post btw, sorry if its too long and rambly, really just looking to get a rig that:

1. Can play everything for at least the next year.
2. is good bang for my buck
3. Beginner friendly build/maintanence-wise

What do you think? Or better go the OC road with an 6400 and z170 mobo? Could I get it cold and quiet? Does it also require a bigger psu?
I'll use it 4 gaming and DAW. Nothing special.

I'm building a mini-itx server. all the ATX power supplies available seem like overkill, if a J1900 board consumes around 35W in typical use, and the smallest available unit is 350W. won't the efficiency at such a low load be shit?

>>58764141
It's not that bad, but there are lower wattage PSUs

>>58764070
Stick with the Pentium
Make sure the mobo has wifi if you want it

>>58763872
1. You'll be able to play everything for the next five years unless you're at 1440
2. If you're at 1080p 60Hz it's horrible bang for buck
3. Yes

>>58763766
It's the perfect 1440p card for the average user. Most people don't run ENB

I know this is a bait post, but it's not like you'd notice on a Gsync monitor unless you're an autist with the FPS counter running

>>58761555
Really depends on how much money you want to spend. If you want something as tall as your ultrawide, probably 1440p. If you don't mind a small monitor get 1080p 60Hz

>>58761457
Yeah, probably

>>58763766
How do you go below 60fps?
At 1440p it's literally impossible for me

1070 for 1080p maxed out.

>>58764387
1070 gets 60+ fps maxed out 1440p any game.
The 1080 is for 1440p and very high fps on new games maxed out

6+ years until 4K becomes viable for the average enthusiast.

Go back to manletville with your wrong opinions.

when zen lands I'm going to be moving my current piledriver build to my htpc.

problem is my current silverstone case is too small for standard ATX and, to be honest, I don't like it's very much. it's loud as fuck and terribly inefficient space wise.

so I need a case for 100$ that is quiet as fuck, looks decent sideways and can fit a pretty long GPU

any suggestions?

Is 60C at load(while gaming) normal on a new card? RX 480 if that matters

>>58766376
>Why the actual fuck would you buy a 60Hz?
Because some people only want bigger monitors with bigger resolution for work, movies and some casual gameplay.
Personally i have 3x 1080p 60Hz and i don't plan on upgrading anytime soon. This setup is perfect for work and some casual gaming.
Mostly single player anyways, shit games like LoL don't profit from this anyways and CS:GO.. we played counter strike on 15" CRT monitors, i don't need more, for now.

How worth is it to get Kaby Lake for my first gaymen pc build? Does it really matter all that much or can I just get an i5 (especially if I don't plan to overclock my first PC)

>>58766452
You're missing out, man.
1440p 144Hz is the meme gamers have been waiting for.

This is the sweetspot. Memelords can have thier 4k early adopter bullshit.

Gaming right now is the best on a 1440p144hz setup and it's attainable.

If you feel like you need to shell our for a i7 + 1080 + 1440p 144Hz for every new AAA title, be my guest.
What you're missing is the fact that 1440p 60Hz and people who don't need 144Hz exist, for them 1070 is ideal, or for those who want to max out 1080p for some time.
Saying the 1070 is "useless" is simply stupid.

This is a gaming build, please critique. Also, why are DDR4 prices so fucked right now?

>>58766451
60c is fine. Try not to pass 80 for extended periods of time.

I've got an (relatively) old rig that's over 5 years old. Thinking of finally upgrading because I'm an old man now and I'm sick of maintaining a water loop and I've been out of the tech scene since then so I have no idea if I can get away with just replacing the GPU and being OK

Mobo: MSI Z77A-G45
CPU: Intel i7 2600k OC'd to 4.5Ghz (Watercooled)
GPU: ASUS GTX 480 (Watercooled)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X 16GB (4 x 4 GB) DDR3 2133
Power Supply: OCZ ZX 1000W
Data:
2x OCZ Vertex 3 120GB Solid State Drives (Raid 0)
1x 2 TB HDD
1x 1 TB HDD

Will I be alright just ditching the H2O loop and replacing my beloved 480 house burner, lowering the OC on my CPU and going air cooled? Or am I asking for a bad time running the newest card on this older gen cpu?

>>58767174
Nonsense, mine has run at 90 for two years now. I will never upgrade from the 670.

Buy RAM and SSD now, buy RX480 8GB, i5 6600K or equivalent ryzen (>implying) with mobo and rest of the build after ryzen premiere, change RX480 for GTX1070 or equivalent GTX11x0 / Vega when they both come out in couple of months.

Yay or nay?

>>58767176
Sandy Bridge is still not bad, but it's starting to show its age. 2600k should still be good enough for most games. I'd be more worried about your motherboard or PSU giving up the ghost.

What's the deal of OCing? Is it really that useful? Like do you actually get better performance?

>>58767260

What's the average life for a Power Supply? I thought that it would be something I would be able to carry over for years to come.

I'm starting to feel like if I try too hard to salvage this, I'm going to regret it when I find out that I'm getting bottlenecked down the road because I was trying to be cheap.

>>58767303
Yes? You are clocking the CPU at a higher clock speed, which leads to higher performance. That being said, you do have to deal with maintaince for your CPU and make sure it doesn't overheat and break. For vidya though a lot of games now rely on GPU more than CPU so as long as your CPU can support your GPU you should be fine. The higher FPS is something to keep in mind though if you want to OC.

>>58767303
Unless you're just going for the highest possible clocks and disregarding everything else, higher clocks increase performance nearly linearly. If you OC a CPU 30%, that you get 30% better performance assuming the CPU was and still is the bottleneck on whatever it is you're doing. Whether it's strictly the best performance per dollar on a given task is questionable(especially with CPUs, since you need to spend extra on the CPU itself, the motherboard, cooling and possibly even the PSU whereas with GPUs you mostly only need to worry about the card itself), but if you run the numbers, it holds up pretty well in value.

Have a $1000 budget build ($1200 with a monitor and keyboard since this is my first build) in the works. How does it look? Still don't know if I should get an overclockable CPU in order to save a bit of money (might push the price down to $1000 all together as well)

Is this motherboard worth it for $79? (It's in today's frys promo code + mail in rebate)?

Hi, but the reviews on this particular psu are very good, see:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-sf450-power-supply,4512-10.html

What's the most you've ever spent on a PC?

Should I upgrade RX 480 drivers to 17.1.2 ? It's marked as optional while 16.12.2 is currently installed
As I understand optional means it's beta version or some shit so I don't want to brick my GPU if the drivers are fucked like they're known to happen to both AMD and nVidia

>>58767615
Well.. almost everything, see: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Z2k6m8
I know it's almost $100 over budget and it is possible to cut some corners without losing much, but with this you get a good setup for your money.

>>58767439
Not that anon but I have an i7-6800k. How much should I overclock it? I'm probably going to try for 4.0Ghz if I can keep temps under 65C under heavy use.

>>58767706
About 1300€ in 2008 or so, too much money for upgrades and replacements and i plan on investing another 1600€ for a new PC, if AMD delivers that is, a new mechanical keyboard and speakers, which i already bought.

>>58767747
Thanks for the advice. I was able to cut it down to $1175 (which is a bit under a $50 decrease). Not gonna get an AMD GPU but other than that that build looks solid. I think the big thing that is pushing up the price is overclocking my CPU so I'll have to figure out if I want to OC my computer.

>>58758738
I use a GTX 1060, i play all games at 1050p ~120hz so unless 1080p is that much more intensive, i'd say the 1060 is all you need for 100+hz on 1080p.

>I think the big thing that is pushing up the price is overclocking my CPU
Yes it is, you can save a lot by getting a 7500, B250 mobo, smaller HSF and cheaper PSU, this is your decision.

I have a i5 4590, how much time have I left out of it for mainly gaming?

>>58768255
isnt it just dx12? which isnt used now, and it wont necessarily be in the future

Is there a site like pcpartpicker but with more general price alerts?

It'll be a standard midrange 6600k/1060 build but I literally dgaf about certain parts. Like, pretty much any Z170/Z270 mobo would do, any RAM would do, etc. Not fussed about matching my components because I don't have a window case.

At the moment it's legit looking like I'm just gonna end up buying whatever is good value on the day that I sit down and actually put my money where my mouth is.

>>58768276
its dx12 and all 7th gen+ CPUs
and maybe soon all new GPUs as well. fuck win10 garbage, i have never seen something so cancer infested than windows 10. vista looks like a 10/10 OS compared to win10

>>58768214
Nvidia cards are cheaper where I am than AMD ones. It's just an availability thing. As for OCing though, I still need to do more research on how big of an increase I would get if I were to OC my machine. If I can run my vidya at 60+ FPS that should be fine with me and I wouldn't really need to get a K series CPU.

>>58768316
Linux exists, anon. Use it instead. For games you have one of the following:
>seperate HDD/SSD for Windows
>WINE and PlayOnLinux
>Virtual machine and passthrough

>>58768362
>Nvidia cards
What? Aren't AMD cards usually cheaper in US? Anyways, for GTX1060 PNY, Gigabyte and EVGA are usually cheap in US. If you ask me, get either the cheap PNY or EVGA SSC.

>If I can run my vidya at 60+ FPS
If we're talking about 1080p you shouldn't have a problem with a locked CPU and you should have enough power for quiet some time.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MB7TNN

>How does this new build look?
Bad. You basically discarded everything. Your general approach is good, but the build itself isn't worth it.
Also, why no mATX? You can save some more money and space too if you go mATX.

>>58768700
All I changed was the GPU model, the size of the HDD and SSD, and the mobo (which I now changed to a mATX form factor). Everything else is the same so I don't understand your criticism that I discarded everything.

>>58768774
GPU is good, HDD also, but P300 is better for the same price, SSD is bad and 120 has bad value, hence the 240GB PNY CS1311.
Your mobo is good, but it's price is higher than other B250 mobos only because it is ATX. 600W is not needed, 500 is more than enough.
The RAM, while being good, is more expensive than for example G.Skill NT and you may want to add a cooler, Intel stock sucks ass.
Your case is good, but personally i prefer mATX cases for mATX since it safes some space.
The monitor is probably ok, i had a 24" Asus VH in the past and it had horrible ghosting, now i have a BenQ which is better.
The keyboard is ok, but Corsair keycaps are absolute shit and other boards are just better.

Drop down the HDD to 1tb and get a fucking SSD. SK hynix is pretty cheap and solid.

>>58769420

Either turn down a setting or wait for 1080ti

Trying to install my GPU in my mini-itx case, and it doesn't seem to fit into the slot on the motherboard. I had trouble getting it in before, and decided to tidy my cables and install a new CPU cooler... and now I can't get my GPU back into the slot. Should I just push harder? On my old build I never had to force it.

>>58769700
Have you forgotten to unlock that plastic hinge on the PCIe slot?

>>58758522
But your minimum wage is about $11.00/hour where here in the US it is $7.25/hour. So your prices reflect the difference in currency. You can always move here to the US for those cheap parts prices.

Oh cool I didn't know that about the H7.

What's wrong with Corsair's case, fans, or ram? I swear the only place I see people shit on Corsair is /g/. Literally nowhere else.

You deserve whatever overglorified robot job you have

>>58769857
Their fans are overpriced and underwhelming and their ram is just overpriced. /g/ doesn't like them because they like to cater to the masses of gaymers, when in reality the market doesn't matter and there's only a handful of legit reasons to hate corsair
They're not exactly a quality company, but they definitely don't deserve all the hate it gets

>>58769857
Corsair poducts are generally overpriced because all the typical vtard kids buy their shit since they massively shit it in esports and through streamers.
See if you can get Be Quiet! Pure Wings 2, they are cheaper and better, for the case, no idea about straya but see if you can find some Fractal, should be cheaper.
The RAM is the only thing that's actually worth it, although it can have XMP OC problems since it's officially not for Z170/270 but X99 boards, so manual OC may be necessary.

>>58769857

He's just a meme'ing retard. The only bad thing Corsair has are their low-tier PSUs, One could argue their fans being overpriced, but I can understand you want a theme going.

>watching PC build video
>guy says to have to exhaust fans and two intakes for perfection

RX 480 Crossfire

>>58769892
>>58769898

ahh okay - well this case is overpriced but I feel it's worth it - it's pretty solid and I like how it looks

I'll look for cheaper fans though, although the price difference seems to be 2-3 dollars with a lot of them.

>>58769921
It's 3 fans or more, with at least one being a different direction
It really doesn't matter after that besides a degree or two

-That cooler is for small form factor builds. A same price larger cooler will perform much better. My personal recommendation is Cryorig H7.
-Swap to z270 and 7600k for better performance at the same price.
*I recommend using a cheaper 2tb hard drive and a smal SSD instead.
*I recommend getting a Corsair af quiet red led 120mm fan to use as exhaust, and take the two included nzxt fans and mounting them in the front.
*there's nothing wrong with that power supply per say but it has ugly cables that you will see through your window. The EVGA BQ has all black cables. The GQ 650w is $72 and also has black cables.
My first two points you /really/ should follow. The other points with a * are all optional.
This is my similar build in the white version of that case.

>>58769921

It depends on your CPU cooling too. Generally it doesn't really matter. Just have 3-4 fans.

>>58769898
>Corsair poducts are generally overpriced

they have the best budget cases around - and the only parts they have that are overpriced are their shitty keyboards and mice

Are you drunk? Best budget cases are Deepcool Tesseract for ATX which costs like $34-39 and Cooler Master N200 or Thermaltake Versa H15/25, should be similarily priced.

>>58769999

No they don't. 200R isn't a budget case, and it's extremely overrated.

>>58769968
Is 2x 140mm front intake and 1x 120mm top back exhaust overkill for overclocking an i5 7600k?

>>58760536
Yeah digging the syncmasters. I have a 2333 HD,but I am due for an upgrade. I am just waiting for 1440p to get a little cheaper.

>>58769857
>I swear the only place I see people shit on Corsair is /g/

hipsters gonna hipster

>>58770012
480 if you play demanding games and maybe want to upgrade to a 1440p monitor in the future while hanging on to your GPU for a bit while waiting for the next generation of cards.
470 if most of your games are not super demanding and you think you will be happy with 1080p for the foreseeable future.

>>58770232
470 and 480 are too close to matter, i.e. their uses are identical

>>58770244
I agree. I tried to seperate it into two different user cases, but really IMO the price difference is so small, you might as well just get the 480 for moar power. I'm running a 480 RN and pretty happy.

Im kinda poor, what gpu can I obtain with $110? Idc what I get really since I play old mmos.

I'm using this gpu on top of lunix using pci-passthru, idc if the gpu is from amd or nvidia desu

>>58770296
For $110.. only RX460, GTX1050 or some older GPU.

>>58770296
Gtx 960 maybe?

Then check again. Also, is it only me or does the mobo seem a little "off", imho the PCIe slot and the slot off the case don't alight, maybe you fucked up something there or it's just the viewing angle.

>>58770407
You don't need Z270 for a locked CPU and BCLK OC isn't possible on Kelvin Lake anymore.

Am I able to play any kewl vidya on this?
Is the processor good enough to at least run emulators?

>>58770512
You need a B250 or H270. Z270 is the more expensive board meant for overclocking.

>>58770571
If it fits into the case slot and there is no visual damage to the card and PCI slot on the mobo, it has to be either the hinge being locked or you have to push harder.
Can't think of another reason.

isnt b250 amd supported?

also whats the benefit of OC?
wont my cpu die faster?

yo, plebian looking to join the PC master race, never built a rig before, im limited to parts from German Amazon, think you guys could save my miserable build? money isn't really the issue, but i wanna celebrate finally getting a desktop by going for the full experience! i dont care for aestetics.

here's what i got so far: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/xzb8XH

i've done some research, but am just getting into this, so please do hook a brother up.

March GTX 1080 TI?

I posted my own thread for this which I realize is dumb because this general exists:

Am I trying to buy into the ''1440p/156+Hz' Gsynch/Freesynch'' meme lifestyle too early?

I was struggling to decide between the 1070 and the 1080, but with Vega and 1080Ti coming (probably) in Q2, am I buying at the worst time?

MY MAIN CONCERN BASED ON A FEW THINGS I'VE READ:
A 1070 today won't allow me to utilize the full potential of a 144Hz Monitor (60-90 fps Ultra) and I could fall below 60 FPS with heavy graphics mods or near future AAA titles. And that a 1080 might not be worth it if the Vega is actually good.

Does it really even matter that much? Everything I read makes me more paralyzed with indecision.

Can someone who games like a king at 1440p share their experience and insight?

>>58770645
>wont my cpu die faster?
not much and its not like youll keep a cpu for more than 4-5 years

>>58770681
1070 gets 60fps MINIMUM at 1440p.
Gsync will make 61-164fps look just fine for you.
I already told you this
A 1080 would do better but a 1070 will still get more than 60fps

>>58770604
No, Intel only.

>>58770645
>also whats the benefit of OC?
Higher clock speeds, better performance. Can overcome bottlenecks.

>wont my cpu die faster?
Technically, yes, but your CPU will long outlive its usefulness. If you keep your temps under control you won't have a problem. Heat is the enemy.

>>58770683
and what do i gain?
will i use the extra mhz?
what should i expect?

>>58770604
>>58770645
>>58770697
Please let this be a shitty troll or satire..

>>58770696
>No, Intel only.
i mean gpu
i will buy a shillvidya card

>Can overcome bottlenecks.
like? gpu related?

>Heat is the enemy.
so a good cooler will solve the problem right?

>>58770681
Ultra is unnecessary. Play at High and gain 50% FPS. Gsync will double your framerate (by interpolation) if it happens to go below a certain value

>>58770652
>limited to parts from German Amazon
Why? Just buy at Mindfactory, parts are cheaper anyways, get the rest from Amazon or Caseking.
Anyways, your build is in general shitty balanced

>money isn't really the issue
Do you have a target budget or do you want to go full pants on head good goy?

>>58770717
>i mean gpu
Yes, AMD GPU works on Intel mobo.

>like? gpu related?
Overclocking your CPU if it is bottlenecking your GPU can help.

>so a good cooler will solve the problem right?
Correct, as long as you're not feeding it voltage above what the CPU is rated for.

>>58770786
this is still hight for me (OC) but i will look in it

thx guys

>>58770681

I wouldn't bother with Gsync yet. It's too early on, and expensive.

Freesync might be cheaper, but not even the RX480 will take you above 100 FPS.

>>58770771
i live in Denmark, where there is literally no market, but via Amazon i can order from Germany or UK, and yeah, i had to go for second or third picks on a lot of stuff for shipping...

i'd probably prefer to stay under €2700.

>>58770803
If you're looking to future-proof, an unlocked CPU is as good as it gets, if you can pony up the money to pay for a decent cooler and Intel's ransom.

I don't know much about computer hardware.
i was looking for a processor to start with,
and here i was, under the impression that the quality of the processor was measured in GHz (with higher numbers being better)
and that the i7 processor was newer, better, and more expensive than the i5, and the i5 was that to the i3.
yet on amazon i find a quad core i3 with 3.7 GHz cheaper than a quad core i5 with 3.5
why is this?

>>58770890
> for a decent cooler

>>58770909
Depends on how aggressively you want to overclock and what CPU you are overclocking. I prefer to stick to air cooling. H7 Cryorig or 212 EVO are decent for moderate OC, but if you want to aggressively overclock every last bit out of your CPU or it runs exceptionally hot you'll need to pop for a $100 cooler, like a Noctua.

>>58770977
And by $100, i'm talking in canuck bucks, so more like $70USD.

>>58770977
>212 EVO
looks nice

>>58770771
>>58770652
firstly, thank you for responding. If you got advise on how to balance out my attempt at a build, i'd appreciate it a lot, and am deffinetly willing to go through and seek out parts that are trickier to obtain.

this isnt actually meant to be an epeen build, i just wanna try this fancy 1440p ultra quality gaming i've been missing out on my entire life, saved up a good amount of money to finally get there, but if im overdoing some parts of it, feel free to suggest a downgrade.

just wanna be on top for the next few years :)

>>58770977
also will the 212 EVO fit on a z270-a?

>>58771024
Get a 212 EVO and call it a day. It can be a tricky install, though, so make sure to watch some videos.

>>58771035
It's compatible if that's what you're asking. Check your case/RAM clearance, though.

>>58771073

RAM clearance?

New Thread
>>58771114
>>58771114
>>58771114

>>58771091
Can't find the exact max cooler height on that case, but it should be fine since they are both from the same manufacturer. The 212 EVO max height is 159mm, so if you can find the case max cooler height double check.

RAM clearance, meaning the cooler doesn't block RAM slots. 212 EVO shouldn't, but double check.

>>58771173
support up to 160 mm cpu cooler

>>58771223
Then go ham. Enjoy.
