upgrading my Q6600 system on a budget, does this look ok?

Asking again from last thread.

>So the RAM I got isn't listed under my mobo manufacturer's supported RAM. Am I fucked?

>>59481725
Anyone have a list of pc cases that will fit an H212 EVO cooler in them? This is starting to become a pain in the ass. I thought the H212 EVO was popular, but barely any midtower cases fit it, and even then they come so close to rubbing the end of the case. Then you get mixed information from forums and shit, some saying they fit, others saying they don't fit, or sometimes barely if you're ok with the ends touching, and all of these guys have the same case and cooler, are you shitting me. There's gotta be a better way to do this than buying both the case and the cooler and finding out yourself. It's ridiculous.

These companies can't just put the supported cooler measurements on their store pages? They're the ones with all the information. The overall case dimensions don't help with anything, they just tell us whether the case can fit on our desk. No one gives a shit about that, we need to know whether or not our components fit in there.

I absolutely cannot lower the price on one or the other. Those parts are seemingly the best parts and compromises I could make.
Price difference is 130€ for non-noticeable immediate gains. I might only notice the impact of the K in the future since it'll age better than the non-K. With that said, if Intel's stock cooler is really that bad I'd have to buy a new one for the 7700 anyway which makes the overall price difference to only be around 100€ give or take.

tl;dr is K worth it for 100€ more.

I have to order today I cannot wait any longer (current PC dying, need PC to work).

3rd option would be going for purple but picking up a Pentium G4560 instead of the i7-7700K (and thus saving 300€). The idea would be to then pick up a Coffee Lake down the road rather than having to pick among current i7s, the problem is we still have no idea whether Z270 boards will be compatible or not with Coffee Lake and considering it's Intel we're talking about it might not. Besides Coffee Lake are just Kaby Lake all over again so it doesn't matter I think.

Please give me your insight.

alright, see you next month

>>59481994
The liquid cooler is your choice but an air cooler is just as fine. Liquid is only worth it if you are willing to spend the extra money. I would personally suggest going ATX while you're at it but if you like mATX better then you should be fine.

>>59481824

The Fractal Design Define R5 will fit that Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cooler, and it is arguably the best ATX mid tower case on the market.

Or, you could see if the Cryorig H7 will fit your case. This cooler is about a half-inch shorter than the H212 EVO. Or, as another anon told you, you could go with the flat Cryorig C7. Or you could go with liquid cooling. Try one of the Krakens or the Corsair H100i. I recommend putting the radiator on the top of the inside of your case, pushing air out, with two fans on the inside front of your case pulling cool air in.

>>59481994
>$200 mobo
if you cant mention a specific feature u need then it's no different than a $110 mobo, just make sure it's z270 chipset
and just get a bigger SSD and you dont need a fucking HDD

and your case is full meme-tier.

Well... to be honest, it still does everything fine. I just never got to upgrading the system, be it lack of money, time or I just didn't feel like it (busy times the last months in job and family).

I just want to get my system a little more up to date, a 65W quad core sounds nice, and it's way faster. I want to stay with Win7 for now so that's why the newer Intel CPUs and Ryzen are out of the game.

Let's see what the next week will show, if there's a workaround for the Windows Update problem.

Or I will just ditch these plans and throw in a big SSD instead.

>>59482862
it would be good for that but the CPU cooler is overkill unless you want to OC

titanium psu is overkill.

yes lots of people seem to have. plenty of results on google.

Coolermaster's MasterCase 5/ MasterBox 5 will fit it as well. The MasterBox 5 is about $59

>>59483198
but what if I plan on going with a crossfire build
and is a noctua for 90€ really so much better. kind of hate the brown and beige fans

>>59483256
the 80+ rating (bronze/gold/titanium) has nothing to do with how much power the unit can deliver to the graphics cards.

>>59483256
there's more options than noctua (and they have black fans now). at least check out the cryorig H5 as an alternative to the Macho cooler, it should be about the same price range

so why is the 1050ti not a "worthwhile" card, especially for those outside the US where it might be significantly less than the rx 470? plus i've heard that the g4560 bottlenecks amd cards more than nvidia cards in demanding games

also should i get an aftermarket cooler for a cpu that isn't unlocked. i don't want a loud stock cooler or for my fans to collect dust

>>59483232
If you want evga gpus, get the icx line. They didnt fix any thing else, just created a new product line. Its a lot more expensive though

>>59483335
1050 ti is worthwhile, dont listen to amdicklets.

>also should i get an aftermarket cooler for a cpu that isn't unlocked. i don't want a loud stock cooler or for my fans to collect dust
no

>>59483299
>the 80+ rating (bronze/gold/titanium) has nothing to do with how much power the unit can deliver to the graphics cards.
I already know that.
but is the macho a bad cooler? I probably buy an rgb fan for it anyway so. more interested in quality of the cooler itself than the fan.

>>59483240
>Pg278Q

You'd spend easily $750 on the ASUS PG278Q, and it isn't even an IPS monitor. You could have the ASUS MG279Q for $200 less. The MG279Q has all the specs of the PG278Q only with 4ms response time instead of 1ms. Most importantly, the MG279Q is an IPS monitor and one of the most gorgeous pictures on the market.

Disregarding the fact that the PG278q and PG279q have the exact same color accuracy when professionally tested (with the IPS losing in contrast ratio and FAILING miserably in contrast with uniformity), I thought color accuracy didn't matter to you?
And you wanted OVER 60fps

Some other guy is saying that might be possible since "they are made to endure higher voltages".

>>59485608
Well actually it's because I'm about to order and posted my final build on some forum in my native language and these guys just popped up. I'm >>59481939, so they're giving me advice.

I do have a feeling that they don't have any concrete proof for this and they just see a B250 board as some shit board or something. Same way someone would say a Bronze PSU would die earlier than a Gold one. It's a psychological thing I feel.

>>59485664
it's completely unsubstantiated. I work at a company that makes motherboards and I can tell you that MY friend says otherwise. And he gets paid to get this stuff right.

>>59485664
If a circuit isn't overbuilt for higher voltages (remember this is only northbridge-socket connection or northbridge-RAM connection), the worst you're gonna get is slight extra motherboard heat in the PCB, which hasn't been an issue in full size desktops for decades
I guarantee all of the VRMs and hardware on a B250 will function properly whether it's 1.2v (stock CPU voltages) or 1.5v (considerably extreme CPU voltages)

>Platinum PSU
Read good things about the PSU and threw it on there. Not like I came to /g/ with a final draft. Generally, the angry/butthurt responses provide decent feedback with minimal effort on the poster's part. Silver/Gold is more realistic considering that the electricity savings likely won't be enough to justify the difference in price.

Would you agree with my choice of going with Gigabyte for my mobo? PC I'm typing with has a Gigabyte mobo and it's 10y old, still working well. I've heard a lot of shits about the other 3 usual mobo makers but never heard such things about Gigabyte. Their service client sounds alright too.

Unless you're planning on SLI you could get a lower wattage PSU. And while I recognize that aesthetics are important to most people, realize that you're paying $225 for a big metal box meant for water cooling when you aren't water cooling.

Been thinking about putting together a mini-itx Steam box for my living room and not sure where to start.

My current TV is a flat plasma from 2008 that's probably approaching EOL, but when I replace it I'll prolly stay with 1080 with maybe a faster refresh rate for muh gaymes. Ideally I'd like to be able to go with max graphics for the next two or three years. Would an i5-7500 and a 1070 be overkill? Any recommended cases?

Is AMD planning on releasing new GPUs? If so, what levels are we talking?

RX 480 = 1060
??? = 1070
??? = 1080

Enlighten me. I'm planning on buying a new GPU in the next few months but I'm undecided. I'm fine waiting if it means getting a good deal out of it.

Alright, this is my ~$1500 build. First time.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WGhNZ8

>any improvements?

All thats left are an keyboard, an optical drive, and a case. I like what I see from Fractal Design. But i'm new to this.

>any keyboard guides/charts?
>good case?

I literally only need an optical drive to install Windows 7 from these fucking disks I bought. The OP says "Win7 and 8.1 cannot be installed on a 200 series chipset" and i'm a little alarmed.
>Do I need a different mobo?

>>59486186
Thanks anon. What I'm thinking of putting together is something like https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kvy9vV

One of my objectives is to keep the unit relatively quiet hence the 65w TDP CPU. I guess overclocking is an option but then I'd prolly hafta use an aftermarket cooling solution

>>59486223
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hsFLHN
Add your own monitor.
>windows 7/8 on 200 chipset
Not incompatible, just unsupported. No updates, no drivers

>>59486304
But if you use the stock Intel cooler it's not gonna be quiet either way

>>59486318
Well windows doesn't have drivers anyway so you're covered there.

>>59485871
I bought a 980 used, asian guy that sold it to me was very nice, clean ass car, had a 1080 box that he put it in to give it to me.

>>59486323
Okay. Is there a recommended quiet cooler for a mini-itx build?

>>59486460
Full WC loop with dual 480mm radiators and 32 noctua fans set up in push-pull.

>>59486460
What case
The bigger the better with air coolers or even radiators as long as it fits

>>59486223
I would strongly consider going with 16gb ram in 2x8 sticks. Corsair is fine. So is G.Skill. You went with Corsair so here's my suggestion -
https://pcpartpicker.com/product/MYH48d/corsair-memory-cmk16gx4m2b3000c15

The Fractal Design Define R5 is the case you want. Best case in the ATX mid tower form factor. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/sjX2FT/fractal-design-case-fdcadefr5bk

You need not worry about those Windows 7 DVD's you own. Ditch the optical drives in your build. Convert your Windows 7 installation DVD's to Thumb Drive.

Here's my $1500 design. Going for gaming and cost effectiveness.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xQNFqk

Two notes:

The HDD is temporary for this case. My current pc will be converted to a home server for storage. I will eventually move the HDD from the new build into the server and replace the HDD with a large SSD.

The case comes with two fans. I am adding two fans. I will have both Noctua fans pulling air from the front. I will slide the case fan down in front to blow air across the HDD. When I swap out the HDD for the SSD, I will place that fan to pull from the bottom of the case.

Rate my build. I enthusiastically welcome any and all criticism, advice, warnings, and so on.

Are you honestly shocked? AMD has been rebrandeon for a decade now.

If I have a 1440P 144Hz monitor, would it be worthwhile to splurge on a 1080Ti, or would a lesser card suffice?

What about for 1080P 75 Hz?

>>59487253
>would a lesser card suffice

No. No it will not. The 1080 Ti isn't even enough to maintain 144hz at 1440p in most games by itself and its the most powerful in the word.

I'm in this boat as well. R7 was a shitshow, I'm thinking it's better to just get an i5 7500 now.

>>59487334
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't want to fuck around with oc'ing and I think the 7500 is a fair price. I'm also going to pair it with a 480 8gb

Sapphire rx 470 or msi rx 470, which one runs quieter and which one runs faster?

>>59487317
In terms of pure performance? Probably not. AMD is still behind in terms of single threaded performance. In terms of value? Maybe.

>>59487162
>switched to 1 gig 8 stick for upgrades later.

That's a common thing to do, and it seems economically sensible to do. However, if in the future you intend to do any overclocking you will probably regret not buying your ram in pairs. For what is perhaps just another $40 you will have a far superior ram in your rig.

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231892

>>59487317
There will be no reason to buy locked intel chips after ryzen 5 launches. What we have seen with R7 and some 6 core R5 leaks is that they all pretty much clock to 4.0GHz. Also the cheapest 6 core Ryzen goes for 220$ and the 4 core variants are much cheaper and offer SMT. Yes, waiting for ryzen is better than getting locked i5

>>59487369
So buying a i5 7500 now wouldn't be retarded?

>>59487390
It's not like it's a bad CPU or anything, but waiting is the safest bet.

>>59487356
Was thinking about this as well but the 1500X is cheaper, has a better cooler, and is overclockable. Will wait for it to come out though before I get a 7500 though. Only worry I have is if the RAM I got will work with a Ryzen CPU because I don't know if they have fixed the incomparability issues.

I want to support AMD because they seem to be genuinely good guys but it seems Intel is more suited to my needs right now. I'm also paranoid things only end up half-working if I got Ryzen.

>>59487377
Original poster of the build here. I going to get a motherboard with 4 RAM slots so I don't see any reason to go with 8GB single channel as I don't see the board living until 32gb is common. Also unfortunately I'm in beaverland and 16gb is $70-100 more than 8gb.

CPU: Intel Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Maximus IX Apex
Memory: G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-4133 Memory

Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Founders Edition Video Card
Case: NZXT S340 (Black/Blue) ATX Mid Tower Case ($66.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Power Supply: Corsair 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Case Fan: NZXT Aer RGB140 (3-pack) 71.6 CFM 140mm Fans
Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG258Q 24.5" 1080p 240Hz Gsync Monitor
Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire TK Wired Gaming Keyboard
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Chroma Wired Optical Mouse
External Storage: Seagate Backup Plus 1TB External Hard Drive


I just wanted to ask for any advice as I am admittedly largely an enthusiast and my knowledge is somewhat limited.

Also should I got SLI 1080Ti?

Budget isn't a huge deal so long as things are not unnecessary and its not well over 5 grand

Thank you in advance for your time

>>59488217
>I am going to be building a new rig with the sole purpose of competitive gaming,
what game?

>>59488358
Overwatch and Lawbreakers

>>59488397
Competitive gaming rigs are easy

7700k, geforce 1080Ti, 16GB RAM.

ROG is a meme, shove it all on a mini-itx board, stock clocks because you'll be playing at minimum settings like every other competitive gamer, 144Hz 27" IPS monitor, Gsync optional. No SLI because it isn't reliable.

>>59488148
>X

no. cheapest ryzen chip, always. they all OC the same.

>>59488397

>lawbreakers

>>59488548
Yeah but the 1500X has a better cooler and more cores.

>>59488217

the fuck is the difference between a competitive and non competitive gaming coming?

>>59488532
I do not wish to be playing with 50 or 75% render scales, and would rather not have 144hz IPS with 4ms input lag if I can avoid it. I want to comfortably and reliably hit 240 fps.

>>59488560
do you have a point?

>>59488586
the difference is that I don't particularly care about running "The Division" on ultra on a 4K screen. What I want is decent graphics on a 1080p with maximal frame/refresh rates. Hence why the guy above advises against SLI configs, as it causes microstutter which is terrible for fps.

here but some of the things I wanted I couldn't find so I have substituted them for other (like the monitor or the motherboard)

I keep watching benchmark videos of the i7-7700k with a Cryorig H7 since this is what I plan on getting and it keeps being at 70-75°C.

Is it normal? It's kind of scary.

>>59486613
Fake as fuck nigga

Will a single 1080ti bottleneck my I7 6700 4ghz?

>>59489107
yes

>>59489126
So it would probably be worth the upgrade to a 7700?

>>59489131
Yes.


Well I was actually just messing, but the 7700K does overclock higher. I doubt 6700 would be a bottleneck though. I don't really know though.

>>59489164
Yeah I wasn't thinking it would. I mean wasn't 6700 absolutely top of the line last year? All my research has pointed to the fact that they would actually pair quite nicely

>>59489131
That would be incredibly dumb. Wait at the very least until Coffee Lake before even thinking of upgrading, and even then Coffee Lake might be too early.

I really want to pull the trigger and buy my build now, especially after the whole r7 fuckup. But I feel I'm gonna regret getting an i5 7500 when R5 is released. Should I wait?

>>59489636
Unless you absolutely need a new computer now I would wait if i5 range is your goal.

i5 vs. r5 benchmarks will probably be interesting no matter the results.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tPLLGN

This my first build, some feedback would be much appreciated.

Is the mobo any good? I just choose it based on price and reviews. Yea I'm new at this.

>>59489676

>>59489676

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tPLLHN

>>59489703
Unless you are planning on overclocking, you don't need a z170, and if you are planning on doing so, get a k series cpu. If you go with a cheaper mobo get 2133/2400 mhz ram. Also some mobos come with integrated wifi. The aftermarket cpu cooler is optional if you aren't OCing.

>can't use paypal to buy on amazon
FUCK I DIDN'T KNOW.

Can't confirm R5 but I have R2 XL which I believe is same width. I used H212 Evo for years and now run a Cryorig R1U. Claims that Cryorig is better are likely true, and, they have printable guides online to help figure out if it'll fit BEFORE buying.

1080 should be fine. If you can afford, 1080ti would be more futureproof, or waiting for Vega if you feel like it.

I've always had Gigabyte mobo on my mains for years and never had any real problems. First one BIOS corrupt (why??) but dual BIOS restored itself and it was fine to this day (board was bought in 08 runs fine today.)
Current board has been running since 2013 no problems. Planning a Gigabyte for my RyZen.

You have many nice components but only 8GB RAM? 8 is "ok" but 16 is nicer in 2017. More than that only for special use cases IMO.
As above, I recommend Fractal cases. Another similar to Fractal I have not used is Nanoxia. If I upgraded my case, that's probably what I'd go with. Also if you only need optical drive for install, why not just rough in, use a USB, or make a USB image from the CD on another PC if you have access to one.

For SSD swap, are you using that one? I wouldn't consider that a "large" SSD. 512 is good, but even beyond that you may need more depending on your games - I would maybe get a bigger SSD if those are your plans.

And actually anons, I'd like to ask about custom liquid cooling - I plan on doing a custom liquid loop later this year (maybe end of summer once I have my Vega card) - and want advice:
1) How to account for maintenance? How do I make it easy to maintain?
2) Are there other brands other than EKWB who make parts I should look at?
3) How do the pumps factor in based on your loop (more radiators = need more pumps? - help me understand how flowrate and temps all work together - I've only ever done air cooling)
4) Recommend cooling other parts of the mobo? (power delivery, chipset, RAM)
5) hard vs soft tubing?

Please reccomend me a good budget windowless case. I need one for my new build.

>>59484896
Depends. Frostbite maybe

>>59489839
In layman terms it's boosting your cpu, you can get some extra performance out of it, however it requires more expensive hardware to get the most out of it. The z170 and z270 are enthusiast grade chipsets used in enthusiast grade mobos, it's main function is overclocking plus extra doohickeys and features. You can overclock any cpu with these mobos however usually you'd go for the k series since they have an unlocked features that gives you more leeway and control. If you're only going to do basic computing, any mobo should do, go for something cheaper from common brands and read reviews on newegg and such. Just make sure to check the specifications and makes sure it has every feature you need, like how many sata/usb/pciex16/m.2/etc slots it has and as i mentioned earlier, integrated wifi.

This anon >>59489769 has me worried now. Did I fuck up my build?

Is the mobo not good enough, or over kill?

Can any one that knows what tf they're doing edit my list?

>For SSD swap

I'm going to leave the 256GB SSD as my boot drive and swap the HDD for a 1TB SSD. When I started this build, I thought long and hard about what exactly I need from a pc. I've been building my own pc's for 25 years. I've always bought mid or full towers believing that I would someday add components. Rarely in 25 years have I added components. I simply build a new pc. When it came to decide on storage for this build, I examined just how much storage I use now and how much I have typically used in recent years. I've had roughly 1TB of space allocated for games and I've never come close to filling that space. I decided to build a tight little MicroATX with just the components I need, and future considerations be damned. I'm leaning towards the 1TB Samsung 850 EVO.

>>59490072
Which one?

>>59490070

What exactly do you plan to use your pc for? Will this be a gaming pc? Are you doing mostly video editing?

>>59490086
look it up on pc part picker i dont know how much u want to spend on it.

I have the define S windowless.

>>59490099
No video editing, will do some photo editing, gaming, basic web dev...

>>59490001

If you like to keep it tight, go with a MicroATX mid tower. Think for a moment. If you are going to expand your pc with multiple video cards, perhaps a video capture card, perhaps a sound card, perhaps an array of storage drives, perhaps more than four ram sticks, then you probably need space and you would want an ATX mid tower. However, if you are going to go with one or two video cards, two or four ram sticks, two or three storage drives, then you don't need more than a MicroATX mid tower.

Either way, do not cheap out on your case. A solid and highly modular case is very important. I recommend Fractal Design. For the ATX mid tower, I recommend the R5. For the MicroATX mid tower, I recommend the Mini C.

>>59490061
I suppose I won't be over clocking my cpu, so I should choose a different mobo. Can you recommend me any. Thanks.

Has anyone gotten RAM to hit 3200MHz on the Asus Prime B350 Plus yet?

>>59490173
I like the size of the ATX boards. Personally I find mATX boards to be too small, even if they have all the features I want. I will most likely get the Define S windowless with an ATX board.

>>59490134

I made some changes to your build. Price remained the same. This is a MicroATX build. I bumped up your cpu and motherboard, giving you a Kaby Lake cpu and a Z270 motherboard. I changed your SSD to one less expensive but solid nonetheless. And I changed your case to a MicroATX mid tower that is arguably the best MicroATX mid tower on the market. I believe this is a far better build.

what's the difference between a GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E x16 and a GeForce GTX 1070 Mini ITX OC GV-N1070IXOC-8GD?

I don't want to get the wrong one

>>59490423
The second one will be overclocked and small

>>59490101
>>59490173
Should I get the Enthoo Pro M or the Define S? Which one has better quality?

>>59490275
Thanks for the build edit, anon.

Does the cpu upgrade really make that much of a difference?

Also, is the stock cpu cooler good enough or should I buy a better one?

One last thing, I kinda liked my Phanteks ATX case, there won't be any issues if I keep that one?

Thanks again, anon.

Looking to get more space for my desktop. I have lots of space as is but I'm going from a midtower to a full (Phanteks 400>Silent Base 900 Pro) and I figure that I might as well make use of the lovely amount of cages.
What I have now: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mnvGNN
Drives I'm looking at:
1 WD Black 512GB - 8Gb/s M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe, to replace my 1TB SSD as windows drive (getting this for sure)
----
Toss up of these to replace current lesser spaced drives along with adding to my build. I was told that my current drives aren't quality and to get WD. As long as they're high grade and have 4TB or more of space, I'll consider them. Looking to get all the same drives, thinking of just getting the Blues since I'm willing to buy 5 of them.
2 WD Black 6TB WD6001FZWX
5 WD Blue 6TB WD60EZRZ
2 Seagate 8TB ST8000AS0002
3 Seagate 6TB ST6000NM0034
Thanks in advance to any anon willing to bother with answering.

>>59490649 #
For the boot drive do not get the wd black since for a similar price you can get the Samsung 960 evo which has about double the speed and is from a much more reputable ssd brand since wd is good at hard drives but sucks at ssd while samsung is the other way around. as for the hard drives if you want more storage i would not get the 5 wd blue 6tb drives since plus seagates you chose are outdated and are sas not sata. i would instead get 8tb or 10tb seagate barracuda pro drives. btw why do. you need so. much storage

Hey, so I have a relatively stupid question.
Here's my current setup

- AMD FX 8350 with 212 evo cooler
- MSI 970 Gaming
- EVGA Supernova G2 650W PSU
- Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290
- 2x 8GB Memory
- SSD for OS
- SSD for Steam games
- HDD for everything else
- Corsair 500r case

I plan on upgrading my GPU and my CPU. GPU is dead easy but what about CPU while still keeping my other data and shit? Would all I need is the CPU, matching motherboard, matching RAM sticks and just reformat the OS SSD?

>>59490649 #
wd drives are good for small storage capacities at a low cost while seagates are better for high capacity storage such as there 8tb or 10tb barracuda pro drives which are great all rounder high capacity drives trust me all the ones on thkse list are crap. for. your needs

thoughts?

Should I buy something from amazon that is SENT by amazon but not SOLD by them? They say in that case they deal with customer services but can't replace the item if there's a problem.

What should I do? If I try to buy from amazon themselves it says 1-2 months wait.

Don't want to start a new thread for this question.

Does it ever get better than a 25% off coupon at Monoprice? How rare are 25% off coupons?

>>59490926
Get an SSD and gold PSU. other than that it looks good.

>>59490937
Then you return it, and then you buy it again, this time from Amazon when it's in stock.

>>59490780 you could also get the new enterprise capacity 10tb drives which are the best in terms of reliability but if you want higher performance get the barracuda pro. stay away from skyhawks since they are only for surveillance systems and ironwolfs have a nonstandard mounting system made. for a nas plus they are a compromise to have a slightly higher performance but a lower reliability

why shouldn't i buy a 1080ti?

>>59490955
because shit's expensive and vega is right around the corner

>>59490955
Because evidently you have no money since you have to ask

>>59490926 wait for ryzen 5 to come out so you can get much more performance for the same price and get an ssd with a better power supply. other than that the rest is good. alos try getting 16gb of ram since that is more standard for in 2017. ryzen 5 will get you i76800k performance for i5 7500 price

Alright, just ordered purple build from >>59481939.
Ended up being 15€ cheaper overall too. So 915€ for everything within the rectangle.

Is it normal to feel anxious? Are you guys also anxious when ordering a whole build like this? I'm scared things come in broken or something and having to send the thing back and deal with customer services...
