>Assemble your parts list
https://pcpartpicker.com/
>How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

If you want help:
>State the budget for your build (and country if not the USA).
>List games/software you use often, as well as your monitor resolution + refresh rate.
>Clarify your goal for build improvements: lower price or improved specs?

CPUs:
>G4560 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - if you can't afford better or specifically need 8 threads but not a very powerful CPU
>R5 1500x - All you really need for 60fps with power to spare; Don’t get an i5.
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; Get a 1600x if you don't OC

>R7/Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/mixed use; Not required for just gaming.

GPUs:
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>RX 560 and GTX 1050Ti - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games
>RX570 - 1080p@60hz at high, running most maxed older games at 144+hz.
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@60hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; Go for the RX580 if you can.
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@144hz /1440p@60hz at high
>GTX 1080 - 1080p@144hz / 1440p@60hz maxed, 4k@60hz in a few games; Probably the highest end card you need for 1080p/1440p.
>GTX 1080 Ti - 1440p@144 hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games; You're kind of going overboard with this one.
>AMD GPUs are suffering a lack of stock and Nvidia a rise in price thanks to e-currency miners

RAM
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM

General:
>ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
>Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
>NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor.
>The Ryzen lineup comes with exceptionally good stock coolers. (with the exception of the 1600X) consider using them over any sub 35USD cooler.

Anyone have a motherboard recommendation or just changes to make? I want to keep this below $1300 CAD, and don't need a case, keyboard, mouse, fans, or monitor. It's my first desktop build after using laptops for a decade

If/when the mining bubble bursts, would there be any reason to buy one of those poor cards that toiled in the mines?

Wouldnt it be cheaper to import this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Graphics-Cards/Palit-GeForce-JetStream-Express-Graphics/B01GVN4LFO/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1498446906&sr=1-6&keywords=1070 ?
Also for a mobo I would recommend the Asus PRIME B350-PLUS if you go ATX or the ASRock AB350M Pro4 for mATX. All the B350 ATX mobos are good (except for maybe the Gigabyte ones) so choose whichever you like the most.

I'm planning on buying an ASRock X370 Taichi motherboard and Samsung 960 Evo M.2 SSD (item no. MZ-V6E500BW). On ASRock's website where it shows a list of the motherboard's supported storage modules, it shows that MZ-V6E250 is supported. Does this mean it can support the 500GB version as well?
>>
>>61084324
>>61084501
But why, the R5-1600X and R7-1700X both beat the i7-7700k now in game performance thanks to the latest updates + pairing with good RAM.

No reason for it to be up there anymore.

Remember to buy used, got a 980ti hybrid for $330.

>>61084914
Source?

>>61084915
is it better than the 1070 at this point?

Currency conversion alone puts the price higher. I'm Canadian, so that $539 isn't as bad as $539 US

Thanks for the motherboard info though

I'm not buying AMD shit. I'm gonna be gayming and video editing. Yes, I have a delid kit.

>>61084854
Seems like you should just be able to install the driver and everything should be fine.

I personally have no experience with them though.
>>
>>61084892
Yes. The supported hardware list is just a marketing gimmic and manufacturers have to pay to get their products on it. Samsung didnt bother to get all versions of their SSDs approved.

>>61084854
The ASUS webpage has a win10 driver in their downloads section even though it doesnt officially support that OS.

>>61084934
Slightly better, yes. But Nvidia no longer officially supports 980 so 1070 might overtake it in future due to better drivers.
>>

I hope all the miners who jacked up the prices of all the GPUs die of cancer, and their girlfriends raped.
>>
>>61085095
1600 is overkill for such a puny GPU.
>>
>>61085194
Not him, but isn't it probably a good idea to have a powerful CPU so it allows for a better GPU later, so that the CPU itself doesn't become the bottleneck?
>>
>>61085224
Yes it is
>>
>>61085117
>>61085194
1600 isn't that much more than the 1400 though, only ~$50

maybe i'll go with the 1050Ti and pick up a mid-range gpu in a couple of years

>>61085224
that's what i was thinking
>>
>>61085232
Well, that seems like a sound plan in my opinion.
A powerful CPU is a wise investment.

Pretty much my plan. Picked up a 760 for $50 while I wait for Vega.

A 1600 bottleneck a GTX 660? No, the other way around. I'd recommend you keep it until gpu prices come down unless you're impatient and/or money isn't an issue

Go with amd and with the money you saved by going with amd, get a 2x8gb kit right away. Higher frequency ram will also help with performance. Also 650w is more then you need unless you plan on upgrading/sli.

Sup Darksider dude. Still haven't figured out the issue? Did you call the exorcist like I told you too the last time?

If every piece of hardware has been changed and I assume wiped as well with a fresh install OS. It might be an issue with dirty power and your wall socket/surge protector.

>>61086268
Try a different wall socket?
Do you have friends? Maybe bring your PC over to their house and try it. Or just try another PC at your house.

Yes a 650 PSU should be more than enough for any single GPU build although the recommended PSU for a 290x is 750.

Can you run furmark and a CPU stress test at the same time?

When I was having PSU issues, only certain games would cause a shutdown, and often only more than 40 minutes in to playing.
I hadn't tried Heaven, but my computer could run furmark or prime95 on their own indefinitely, but as soon as I ran them concurrently, the pc would just shut off.

Fixed when I got a highly rated seasonic PSU (not to shill seasonic or anything).

Also, is there a downside for only having one 500 GB partition instead of two?

I should make it take the whole 500 GB, no ?
>>
>>61087609
Running both for 90 minutes had the CPU temp up to 99. I don't think I want to leave it on any longer for obvious reasons but I think it's fair to say it's not a PSU problem if running GPU and CPU to the extreme didn't do shit to the PC.

>The 1500x seems more then capable of running most games on high settings.
It is, but the 1600 offers much more headroom for only $20~ more

Thinking of getting a R5 1600X and GTX 1080 (was planning on getting a 1070 but with these prices I may as well get a 1080 instead). I don't plan on overclocking anything because I'm paranoid about that stuff. I'm planning to use the PC mainly for gaming.

Will the middle-class CPU bottleneck the high-class GPU or is R5 1600X + GTX1080 fine?
>>
>>61087742
Yeah, I've got nothing then man, sorry. Did you use standoffs when you put your motherboard in?
>>
>>61087996
The only bottleneck will be the 1080 provided you are gaming at a resolution befitting of your specs aka not 1080p and at least at 144hz.

Cause if I remember correctly that RAM isn't on the QVL of the mobo so I wonder what speed it is running at. Might be 2133mhz.
>>
>>61088646
Pardon my ignorance, are you saying the mobo is bottlenecking the RAM?
>>
>>61088661
I am saying Asrock never tested your RAM kit on their mobo so they cannot guarantee anything about that RAM like speed, stability etc when you use it on their mobo.
>>
>>61088672
Ahh yeah I think I remember reading something like that actually. Well stability has never been a problem so far: admittedly I'm mostly running older games but never had an issue. If anything it's just the noise that's a problem, and I'm not sure if it's the GPU, or PSU, or what
>>
>>61088661
If you haven't even looked in the BIOS at the RAM, then it's most likely 2133 because you have to change it yourself to get faster speeds.

You basically spent extra money for nothing if you don't change it.
>>
>>61088325
Yes. Having more than you need is something really good in the PC world, because it means the moment you need anything heavier than you usually would, your computer will take it. PSU, GPU, CPU, RAM capacity, storage capacity, etc etc. More headroom is always better, and the 1500x doesn't have that much left while gaming, although still much more than it's competitor.
>>
>>61088706
Your speed might be the lowest possible DDR4 speed as well. You should get that checked.

i just glued heatsinks together then into thermal pads i previously had placed together because it didn't want to stick in there even with thermal paste and kept falling onto my GPU after some minutes

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bhdF6X
>>
>>61088957
You could get a 1600 without cooler insteand and your games would perform pretty much the same for $80 less
Also that motherboard isn't really ideal for overclocking either because of the lack of VRM heatsinks, better motherboards like the prime b350 plus aren't that much more expensive

Good for you. I suggest you do your research on what hardware those games require and in general read some reviews before so that you have a general idea before you come here.

If you're too busy playing CoD i suggest you make a purchase there: https://gear2game.ch/gaming-systeme/gamer-pc.html

Speaking of the g4560, what mobo would u pair it with?

In that case it might make sense bc u bring a capable setup home for 110-120$

Pairing it with a z270 board makes it barely less expensive than a ryzen tho?

Why is ram so much many right now? Whats up with the price hike?

if you can afford it then r5 1600 has currently the best value (6 cores 12 threads for ~200 is crazy).

Ok so I'm looking at a 170-180$ g4560 build (cpu-mobo-ram) vs a 350$ r5 1600 equivalent.

I also thought about buying a used 2500k setup (which costs around the same moneis as a g4560 new) bc I saw in the GN review that it beats it when OC'ed by a relatively large margin, plus could save some money and reuse by 8gb ddr3 1600 ram and try to oc it

g4560 is on par with stock 2500k.
by buying used 2500k you're locking yourself to a dead platform from 2011. the only upgrade would be 2600k which isn't a lot better. also for overclocking you'd need a good ~30$+ cpu cooler.

i wouldn't go for sandy bridge. just sell your old ram and either get g4560 or save some money for ryzen r5 1400/1500x/1600. AM4 platform is going to be supported till 2020, so you'll have a better upgrade path.

>>61089391

For a pure gaming PC - would the R5-1600X still make more sense than the i5-7600K?

While the R5 wins out in pretty much all other situations, the higher clock speed per core seems to give the i5-7600K an edge when it comes to gaming, since most games don't make good use of the higher amount of threads on the R5.
However, if game devs finally get their shit together in the next few years then the 1600X might actually be better for games too because it outperforms the 7600K in applications that make use of the additional threads.

I'm trying to build a PC that can run pretty much all current titles at 1440p max settings and upcoming titles at least at 1080p, will the R5 1600X be enough for that?
>>
>>61089654
Yes, it's more than enough for that. Unless you're trying to drive 144Hz, the Intel chips have zero advantages. Your GPU is going to be the limiting factor in 99.9% of modern gaymes at 1440p.
>>
>>61089592
>by buying used 2500k you're locking yourself to a dead platform from 2011.
Yea but the z270 mobos are twice as pricey.
And what upgrade path anyway if last gen is anything to go buy a 7700k is gonna cost 200-240$ on the used market still in 3years time because of retarded intelfags
>Literally saw a 4790k sold used for 290$ today
>>
>>61089654
Don't get any i5, any clock speed difference is marginal. If you go intel, just get a 7700k.
>>
I cannot close my case because the PSU cables to my GPU are too stiff, I cannot bend them thus they're in the way. What should I do?

I might be able to bend them but I'm pretty scared of messing them up. Are there things out there I could use to do the intermediary? Surely this is something that happens a lot, especially to people with a tiny case, right?
>>
>>61089654
>However, if game devs finally get their shit together in the next few years
Not until PS5 or Xbone 2, console CPU limitation means that games will by large still be single threaded. Unless we are talking PC exclusives.
>>
>>61088331
>get SSDs & stack them wherever.
SSDs are too expensive for my data consumption.
>>
>>61089708
>Yea but the z270 mobos are twice as pricey

Z170 ones are dirt cheap used. Buy one of those instead. Grab a Celeron G1820 from Amazon to update the BIOS for Kaby Lake support if necessary and then return it.
>>
>>61089724
Bend them. It is the insulation that is stiff not the wiring, don't be afraid to bend it till it fits. Unless there is a break in the insulation, it shouldn't be an issue.
>>
>>61089727
This is a complete lie though. Almost all games released in the past couple of years make good use of at least four threads, often more. You're apparently living in 2012, playing Unreal Engine 3 ports.
>>
>>61089727
games already use more than 4 cores. and with intel releasing 6 and 8 core cpus they will keep coming
>>
>>61089744
Yeah. Make good use of 4 thread but their performance is still largely dictated by single thread speed.

If upgrade path is out of the question then the i5 2500k is much better choice at a similar if not inferior price
>>
>>61089749
Well yeah, of course performance is going to be better on 7600K than a fucking Core 2 Quad. That doesn't change the fact that most modern games love extra threads to work with, which is why i5s are dropping off a cliff compared to i7s in most newer titles, especially in terms of 0.1% and 1% lows.

>>61089781
Of course.
>>
>>61089795
you can still upgrade to i5 7600/i7 7700 on b250 mobo
>>
>>61089816
What games? You can literally count those games with hands. Every game loves extra power regardless of CPU or GPU but how many games has a substantial increase in performance from an i7/1700 over i5/1600 if they are not pushing 144hz at a low resolution.

Just finished my GF's light gaming pc. Picked up parts as they went on sale for the past year while I transitioned her from my old FX8150 Radeon 5770 pc. I'm pretty happy with it. Small, light, and when you take into account the prices I paid at the time the grand total was around $350. She's still on the old psu so the one in the list is just a stand in. It's only two years old so I'm not going to replace it anytime soon.

GF is mostly just happy it doesn't sound like a jet engine taking off anymore when she feels like playing Dragon Age inquisition and is happy with the pretty new case after having to look at my old cheap full ATX monstrosity. Playing with the idea of getting a heat sink quieter than the stock one. Anyone have any recommendations?

I7 2600 is fucking meh, titan is also meh, and a lot of stuff would need to be replaced in there if you want to upgrade (because what's the point of a new GPU if your CPU can't handle it? what's the point of a new CPU if you don't buy the motherboard and RAM that comes with it which will cost a fuckton total? etc etc)

Maybe brand new several years ago. The only value the original Titan has now is as a workstation card, which is why its price remains relatively high. For gaming it's fairly shit. A locked 2600 is worth maybe a hundred bucks. The motherboard is low end trash. The RAM is bare minimum. The PSU is decent. The case is mediocre. The rest has minimal value.

In no way is 128 the bare minimum. 60 is more than enough just to host the OS, Steam, Origin, and a few school assignments. The board has an m.2 slot so why not use it with the cheapest ssd on partpicker? It's still sata, but it's still way better than using a mechanical.

You are. If you can post multiple benchmarks that directly contradict the given one you can prove it's fake.
Instead of doing so you have to call names. Doesn't change the fact that you're the laughing stock of this thread anyways.

GN has officially decreed:

I would agree with you if already existing top multithreaded gayms hadn't shown the i7 7700k to outperform the 1700 anyways.

So, it's on a scale so large as to make the argument irrelevant anyway, bc by the time that's common enough, you're looking at ANOTHER upgrade (3-4 years).

We're talking CPUs not retirement plans guys.

You being too retarded to read a graph only serves to confirm that you're the retard here, my friend. A 7600K literally can't even push a locked 30fps in a four year old game. What a joke CPU.

Hurrrrrrrr durrrrrrr. Let me buy an i7 so that my 0.1% low doesn't drop below 60.

>>61090790
Oh, so the argument's changed now, has it? It's not that games don't use more than four threads, it's that you don't care about stuttering or turning down settings, so it doesn't matter.

>retarded shit like SMAA on

SMAA is a post-process anti-aliasing solution, you fucking retard. Did you mean SSAA? Because that would have zero effect on CPU usage either, you tech-illiterate filth.

>Pushing 144hz at low resolution

You cannot push a locked 30Hz at any resolution in a four year old game using an i5. This is a fact. Wildly flailing away, changing the subject and claiming it doesn't matter will not change that fact.

>>61090884

>>61090884
Oh look a R7 1700X OC can't even push a locked 60Hz at any resolution in a four year old game. And yet morons here in this thread constantly shill the 1600 and 1700.

If you own a graphics card that can push more than 25.7fps in a four year old game, your i5 is officially the bottleneck.
>>
>>61090931
>>61090917
Here.
>>61090711
Not saying 1700 is bad but I am making a point that this moron is taking information out of context like 0.1% of an i5-7600k being below 30 FPS so that means it can't push a locked 30 FPS. Which means 1700x can't push a locked 60 FPS as well.
>>
>>61090941
Guess my 1600 is a bottleneck as well. What should I buy intel shill? An i7-7700k?

>>61086064
Just got my Gigabyte Gaming G1 1070 today. It works fine, fans aren't too loud, temps seem fine. There's a decent amount of coil whine when gaming with a 144 Hz monitor, however. Fortunately it's not audible from under the table.

Too lazy to mess with RMA, wouldn't necessarily buy this specific model again, depending on the price. Overall kind of satisfied. Use that info as you wish.
>>
>>61090995
Coil whine is almost always lottery and almost all brands suffer from it. Just type your model + coil whine and you will see people complaining about every single brand.
>>
>>61090952
You're not making any point, you're just making yourself look retarded. Anybody who wasn't a tech-illiterate piece of garbage would look at that graph and notice that the game has a problem with AMD's SMT implementation. The 1700 and 1800X with SMT disabled on there both have lows well above 60fps.

Any Ryzen user can go into their BIOS and turn off SMT to fix performance in that game. How does an i5 user fix their sub-30fps, stuttering mess, other than Amazon to replace their deprecated chip?

>>61090966
You seem to have missed the point of what the argument was about, my dear retard. The original point made was that games use four threads and often more, only for some i5-owning poorfag to become outraged at the thought. I'm the one arguing in favour of CPUs with more threads. My advice to you would be to turn off SMT if you plan Metro: Last Light.

It's obvious that one single result is due to something on the reviewer's end as the 1800X at stock and 1700@4ghz get 60+ 0.1% fps minimums

Is 1.380vcore for a Ryzen 5 1600 normal or is it too much? It's stock.

I haven't touched anything and it seems this is what the mobo is sending to my chip (not at all time though since it seems to be set on adaptive). I'm wondering because my 7700k on stock only asks for 1.164 vcore max.
