got the gpu and motherboard as a package deal 10% off. I mostly do some image editing, some games every now and then. Wanted the option to play newer games that my old pc couldn't handle on anything other than low res. Also didnt want my computer to freeze up when I try to zoome out on a picture I am editing.

good enough?

It's good enough, but you may want to wait two weeks. A new card is releasing that should drop prices on 1070-80's.
You also have a Z type board for a CPU that you can't overclock.
>>

Oh, and you can get a smaller PSU, and get more RAM.
12-16GiB will do you fine.
Aim for higher frequency RAM as well. As per what your mobo can handle.

because the ryzen 5 is out. go for either the ryzen 1600 or 1500x
>>
>>60373764
Because the i5 gets 100% cpu usage in most games because of its low core and thread count and that causes stuttering and hiccups all over.

With Ryzen, that doesn't happen because the cpu usage is usally around 50-67% in most games and that also leaves you plenty of room to do other stuff, like shitpost on 4chan while you game.

I've got a pair of G.Skill ripjaws V series 8 GB DDR4-3200, and a MSI Tomahawk B350.

Whenever I try to put the two ram sticks together, the mobo fails to POST. It turns on, flashes the CPU debug light, and turns on, all in instants. It works fine with only one stick though, albeit only at most at 2667MHz.

My mobo is still with its default BIOS. Did this problem get fixed with any BIOS updates? Or will I be still stuck with only one 8GB stick after the update?

I heard that glasses-free 3D is coming.
Glasses, especially dark tinted ones, killed 3D.

>>60374727
Though that board has decent BIOS, and dual BIOS is a nice feature, its VRMs are super shit. Like, literally the worst.
And the GPU is overkill for 1080p 60hz. Just get an RX570 4GB. Preferably a good one like the Red Devil.
And I'd get the MX300 or SU800 over that SSD. I'm not sure why you chose that one. That price for 240GB isn't exactly great.
>>
>>60374974
Aww.
>>
>>60374833

> using best rated components for my price range.

Which is exactly what it is. That is the current go-to cookie cutter high performance but not wallet raping build. Nothing stands out as amazing and nothing is a bad choice.

My only advice is to make sure your ram is on your mobos QVL if you want it to run at anything over 2666mhz unless you want to gamble on the may AGESA providing compatability.

>>60375168
Consoles are more optimized than PCs when it comes to gaming. Also jaguar cpus have more cores than an i5.
>>
this dilemma is still tearing me apart (because of tight budget of course)
i thought i will by ryzen 5 1600 but it can't work without gpu and now i think to buy locked i7 7700 and use igpu for a while (i want to buy gtx 1060 later). why i7? because i think it will last longer also i might utilize it
guys, is i7 with an igpu for a couple of months is a bad idea? maybe ryzen is so must have that i should not even consider it. hoping for the replies..
>>
>>60375235
but aren't the cores in an i5 way faster than a jaguar?

but thats way too much

>>60373754
For software dev i'd go with R5 1600(x) which compils noticeably faster (as expected of a 2 cores cpu)

Consoles run most games at 30fps. An i5 will certainly give you more than that, but it doesn't quite manage consistent 60fps in many games - especially if you're not running in benchmark conditions, with everything other than the game closed.

Get an R7 1700. Costs $325, offers 8 cores 16 threads, outperforms your shit at anything you quoted.
The liquid cooling isn't really needed, though you can keep it if you want.
$780 motherboard what the fuck
That PSU is also way overkill

>>60375239
No, a 4 cores CPU that hits 75+% usage in game isn't going to last longer than a 6 cores ones that hits 50% in same games
And if we're talking outside gaming, there is not even a doubt any more. 6 cores > 4 core all days

X79 Motherboard with a 3930K is dying. (Not my computer, it's a custom build from a shop a relative got bullied into in 2012)
What can I replace it with? X99 seems to be incompatible and not a single shop sells X79 boards anymore. The only one I found was from the UK for 600 euros.

Thinking about putting in an AMD 1600, but re-buying DDR4 RAM (32GB) doubles the price of CPU+Motherboard and it feels rather bad throwing out an intel 6-core.

It's a work computer mostly used for photoshop and other batch image viewing/editing shenanigans.

What do I do? Would the 1600 be an okayish choice?
Or should I get some older i5/7 that still works with DDR3?
I'd rather get a cheaper CPU/Motherboard now and upgrade more often (with DDR4 in 2-3 years still being a thing hopefully) than buying some 2000 euro CPU now which is obsolete in 3 years.

Realistically though outside of a few niche cases anything other than the 6900k is a waste of time. If you NEED the extra I/O x99 provides then sure, but otherwise zen invalidates it. I wonder how AMD will price naples - having 16c/32t for 1000 dorra would be a kick in the balls Intel would struggle to respond to.

Why would you re-buy ram?

Anyway, do update to second latest bios. Latest one contains agesa update which removed some of the workaround that had been added to improve RAM overclock, so you'll get less luck with it.

This has a i5 7400, 8GB RAM and a 2TB HDD for only $430. The i5 7400 would cost like $180 alone. Is it possible to build something this good for less than this? I think buying this and slapping a $50 SSD in there is the way to go.

For just 60fps? 1500X is ideal. It consistently stays over 60fps except in the few things that will also drop a 7700 down like FO4 and Arma3.
But most people will recommend just getting a 1600 and overclocking even though it's more than you need, since it's only like $40 more for 50% better performance.

It's $30 more or something for 10% better performance.
The whole point in getting a 1600 is better value IF you overclock. If you don't overclock, you should get a 1500X or 1600X.
But you can often find the 1600X on sale as well. 1600s almost never go on sale. They sell so well.

for 20€ more i'd recommend Samsung S24E370DL. it's bigger (23.6") and has much better display, though also a smaller freesync range but imo it's worth it

Help make this build cheaper? I'm not really going to game that much, just ocasionally Overwatch or CS:GO, maybe the highest graphics consuming game I'd play would be bf4 in medium. Btw, I know the case is expansive but I know a dude who's selling it to me with a discount so I'm not going to change that.

Is Pentium G4560/GTX 1050Ti fine for a friend of mine who comes from a crappy PC and wants to play Star Wars Battlefront with decent graphics and then discover some new games with Steam? I saw a video in which that combo ran Battlefront at Ultra with an overclocked 1050 Ti but I'm suggesting her the OC version so it may run like that even without tweaking.
The real question is: will such a combo last decently in time if she doesn't care about maxing everything out?

>>60377204
That is far too much to spend of a G4560 build.
Get cheaper RAM, obviously. G-Skill has 2400MHz RAM for $60.
Drop the cooler.
Get an RX570 4GB, or a RX560/1050Ti even.
Get a cheaper case, like the $20 Rosewill SRM-01, unless you're really attached to that $80 one.

>>60377242
If you don't care about gaming much and just need a good shitposting machine, get the 1400 or 1500X with an RX560, 2x8GB of RAM and a SSD.

People seem to often super underrate the GPU performance of the 1060 and 580. They aren't "midrange". GPU performance needed in games for 1080p has largely plateaued. They play 99.9% of games maxed at 1080p 60+fps. An RX560 is around 7970 performance despite being a <75watt card. It games perfectly fine, just not maxed out.

>>60377409
I'm pretty sure battlefront maxed isn't going to stay at 60fps+ on a 1050Ti and G4560. Pretty sure you'll dip under 45fps at times, especially if there's anything running in the background.

But the 1050Ti certainly isn't weak. Just generally overpriced. If you find one under $115, that's a decent price for one. It can play 1080p 60fps on most games on medium-high, but the G4560 can be a bottleneck in lots of newer games.
Might want to consider a 1500X+RX560 instead. The RX560 tends to be better in newer games for the price.
Or G4560+RX560, and using the savings to get a 40-75Hz freesync monitor (can get them around $110). That way dipping under 60fps won't be a big deal.

With the 400 or 1500x, a RX560, 2x8GB of Ram and a SSD I would end up with a more expansive build. I just wanted to lower the price by caring less about game performance :/

I found the 1050 ti for around 115 € so I guess it's fine. I'd rather get the 1050X but it's 200 € vs G4560's 50 € and we're already on the edge of my friend's budget lol

Anyway I saw in that video that Battlefront had even 70 fps on that combo in most situations, and I think my friend will be fine if she can get 30 fps in everything since she comes from nothing. If you have some ~100 € alternative to the G4560 which could be significantly less of a bottleneck though, it will be nice.

And the Raven Ridge iGPU should be about twice as good, while having a far better CPU along with it.

How so? Any r5 hold their own very nicely / outperforms i5s, and disabling SMT doesn't decrease performance that much so the R3 (being 4 cores without SMT) should still perform very well. Slap either a good old iGPU in it, or a new improved one (polaris / vega?) and you got yourself a budget beast

My older PC has a latch type SATA connector for an extra harddrive, and Molex power. I have a WD caviar that has the non latch SATA with the little L on it, as well as a longer SATA power L type connector, and an 8 pin. How can I connect this HD to my PC, which adapters? SATA to ESATA and Molex to SATA power?

The MSI you linked is good but again, overpriced. The gigabyte you linked cost $160 less and performs the same.
For AMD cards, MSI, ASUS and XFX are generally the best in term of cooling & performance. Gigabyte & Sapphire come seconds. But they all are within 2% performance difference of the others so it doesn't really matter, picking the cheapest is usually the wiser option (unless it's a reference card)
>>
>>60380007
Uhhh no the cheap MSI Armor ones are garbage. It's just the Gaming X that are decent.
Similarly, PowerColor Red Dragon are garbage, but their Red Devil cards are the best or close to it.

Because it was was 2013, and they were $250, which mean I had GTX Titan power for half of the price. Also a 7970 is AM, so I'd have to deal with driver roulette, and god knows if it'll work under Linux.

I will disagree, the H115 has no issues compared to the old H100i that had leaking problems.

But I see what you're saying. I do like the aesthetic though, so I guess it's worth it.

You can put away that fire extinguisher that I know you have sitting next to your desk.

The liquid inside the AIO turns to glue after a few months/years which gums up the heatsink and stops it from transferring heat.
I guess it'd be replaced under warranty, but it's really shit.

A good air cooler is 95% as good, cheaper, reliable, and even if the fan fails the heatsink is generally sufficient for passive cooling. The same is not true when a pump or fan fails on an AIO, or the above mentioned problem happens on an AIO.

WHAT THE FUCK? You paid $250 for them? I assumed they were like $100 new. They're such a garbage card.

CPU wise, the 1600 is about 15 times more powerful. And I'm not exaggerating.
It's got 3x more threads, and about 5 times the performance per thread if you overclock it to 4GHz.
And that GPU is, idk, 1000 times more powerful? Hard to quantify.

Source is picture related, obviously?

>Most common anti corrosion/anti bacterial additives for custom loops contain PEG as the main ingredient. PEG is polyethylene glycol, which many of you may know of from antifreeze. The substance has a low toxicity, is water soluble, has excellent heat transfer capabilities, prevents corrosion, and bacteria doesn't take too kindly to it.
>Makes sense as a great additive for liquid cooling, right? Well, if you add enough energy to PEG, it will break down into PE. Polyethylene. Your loop is constantly forcing your coolant through a hot plate pulling heat (energy) away from your CPU.
>This isn't enough for a rapid reaction, but give it several years... Polyethylene, by the way, is a plastic.

If graphics card is used for passthrough it's inaccessible for main OS, so it should work, right /g/uys?

The overheating issues are a meme.

4.8GHz - top 100%

5.2GHz - top 4%
