https://wiki.installgentoo.com/index.php?title=Build_a_PC

CPUs:
No i5 unless discounted
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>R5 1400 - Cheapest quad core you can get (Ryzen 3 soon)
>R5 1500x - Good but up to 1600 if you can
>R5 1600 - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage; 1600x if you want higher stock clocks
>i7 7700k - Only for 144hz
>R7/Used Xeon/Threadripper - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming

GPUs:
Coin miners have driven price up and stock down, waiting to buy a GPU might be wiser
>Integrated CPU Graphics - Desktop stuff and very light games
>GTX 1050(Ti) - Lower end budget cards, drop settings on newer games, RX560 beaten by both
>RX570 - 1080p@60~hz maxed, running most maxed older games at 100~Hz
>RX580 and GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings; RX580 better in newer games
>GTX 1070 - 1080p@130hz /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 1080Ti - 1440p@144hz and 4k@60hz maxed/high in many games

RAM:
>Check your Mobo QVL before buying any RAM
>Ryzen CPUs benefits a lot from high speed 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 surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any <$30 cooler.
Buying used is perfectly fine for budgets (PSU excluded)

I bought a 570 on preorder for close to MSRP just to sell it for 150€ more to minerfags when I get it in a month or so (amazon didn't specify a date).
It's the same one I want for my build so if prices drop I'll just keep it.

Did I do good?

>one month from now

Mining craze was ONLY crazy because ETH required the use of a graphics cards. Now that things are stabilizing, the second hand market for used graphics cards are going to boom at much *lower* costs than your jacked up *150* costs.

Unlikely you'll get what you want in a month from now.

Also, you're basically enabling miners. You just as bad as they are.

Be Quiet says "no" and Deepcool says they'll have coolers at launch.
>>
>>61370983
If that's the case you should consider a 6 or 8 core CPU, quad core cpu are bit old now.

If you can't afford it, consider 16 gb ram instead of 32 because it's useless, or cheaper m.2 and hdd disk's.

Notice how literally no one went to your thread except me to tell people to come back here instead, as absolutely no one is agreeing with you on removing the 7700k from the OP
You're the only one wanting this change, so fuck off. Everyone disagree with you so everyone will always go to the thread that has it instead. Fuck off to reddit if you don't like it.

>>61371097
What? Did you even read my post
>>
>>61371226
6800k not only has lower clockspeed but also older architecture than Skylake-X. It's also on a dead platform, so you'd be better off going for an R5 1600(x), but considering he RE & programmation stuff an R7 1700 would again be the vastly superior choice.
>>
>>61371257
>also older architecture than Skylake-X. I
Than Skylake*
>>
>>61371226
No.
Depending on whether the applications you may use could use more than 8 threads, you should consider looking at a Ryzen 1700, though the gaming performance is less than the 7700K on balance. It's workload dependent, and only you know your use case.
>>
>>61371177

I can't answer that surely but i can tell you the difference between those two CPU will be 0, they really are the same. 100mhz on two cores does nothing at all, it's marginal at best.
>>
>>61371272
Browsing and photos wouldn't be an issue for any Pentium.
I don't use Plex myself but if encoding is involved, every MHz counts, so it would be a reason to buy higher.

There is a limit of characters and the current OP is very close to it. Adding a detailed explanation is impossible or would require removing other important lines. Current line says it should only be picked for 144hz which is the conclusion of the detailed explanation

W10 uses quite a lot, about 40GB~, so 120GB minimum. But i'm fairly sure there's not much if any model that are below 120GB.
Now if you're gonna have stuff other than Windows10 on there, then it completely depends on what.

/pcbg/ isn't divided by any mean, but some two weeks ago a guy started to come and became angry about the presence of the 7700k. Around the same time another guy came in and started calling anything positive toward AMD "shilling". It's just two guys but two guys is enough to make a thread look like shit. The rest of /pcbg/ has the same views and doesn't shitpost.

>>
>>61371478
That's a fair point. More cores will matter more in 2-4 years.
However, if we are projecting into the future, also worth remembering that APIs are moving the work to the GPU, so CPU performance is becoming irrelevant. Better to purchase a CPU that can push the frames now, when in the end, all CPU performance becomes a wash anyway.
>>
>>61371489
>No, the 1700x @3.9GHz with 3466MHz ram is above a 4.7GHz 7600k.

>>61371505
I have the same problem on a Dual-X 7950 (r9 280), at some very specific fan speed the fan rattles against the card's plastic or whatever material it is that is "protecting" the heatsink. This is probably because of the plastic bending because of the GPU sag.
Simply raising the card up fixes this (which supports the plastic bending theory). I'd recommend you buy a GPU riser that way you will never get GPU sag again and it would also fix that problem of yours.

>>61371226
Yes, They are pretty much identical, the 7700k is faster if you OC it but we are talking around 5% faster or 10% in SOME games, meanwhile the 6800k will always have better multicore performance and it's a "colder" chip. Games in the future are going to be multicore dependent.

People here are memeing the Ryzen chips which are cheaper and offer almost the same performance, the 8-core ryzen 1800x is only about 15% slower than than the 7700k OC but it has a far greater multi core performance so it's not a bad choice at all.

However if you have a best GPU like that then the CPU probably wont matter much, all your games will fly regardless. Having more cores is just better for future proofing and multi tasking (for now).

No, it's not "heck of a lot more expensive" as you yourself said it's priced the same as a 6700k (it's in fact cheaper). The motherboards for it also quite a lot cheaper too so it compensate for the more expensive RAM. And no my friend, 107FPS instead of 110 is everything but "trash it". That's not even taking into account the massively better multi-threaded performance / extra room of the 1700, and the very fresh platform.

Get a cheaper 550w PSU and if you can find much cheaper memory (that will as a result be lower clocked) then do so. For the GPU minimum GTX 1050 ti but try to find an RX 470/570 around $170 if you can.

You probably won't need 750W of power, and if you did, you wouldn't want a CXM supplying it. Drop the PSU to 450 (550W if you plan to upgrade GPU in future)
Get a 1050ti.

They sag because of their weight + only the PCIe & a screw to the left holds them, so the right side ends up sagging. Just try holding your GPU up (without touching the fans of course) while it's doing the rattling noise.

Again, no, the screen and GPU will be the bottleneck long before the CPU matters. 144hz gaming (so adequate screen and GPU): yes, get a 7700k (and nothing else so no "get intel" as others intel CPU are not adequate for it exception being the 6700k that is the exact same CPU)

Which is just wrong

The 7700k produces higher mins and averages at lower fps counts aswell, the delta is just smaller

If you're really tight on a budget, get Ryzen, else the 7700k is worth it.

Nothing much has changed in that regard, AMD is still the budget oriented brand while Intel offers the fastest at a hefty price premium

Yeah, on test benches with only the game running. The average user has a tendency to like not closing the software he uses and he likes having a sizeable amount of stuff running in the background during his gaming so the more cores will benefit him in that regard.

Maybe not now and it does depend on lot on what is running, what tabs and all. Regardless, in a few years the 7700k won't have much room left for background tasks the same way the i5 do (and didn't a few years ago). There's a reason why Intel is moving mainstream to 6 cores.

It matters because developers don't have a big incentive to optimize for 6 core cpus or higher as it is a very small niche of their target market.

The guy's point was about heat output during overclock & stress test. Yes, it runs hotter / as hot, but the reason for that is because it has twice the fucking core
During gaming i could set my R7 1700 to 4GHz on stock cooler and not care about temps because it wasn't at full load the same way it would be during a stress test

>It matters because developers don't have a big incentive to optimize for 6 core cpus or higher as it is a very small niche of their target market.
That's a very stupid claim. Game developpers do not have any choice in this regard as their game become more intensive, they can't keep relying on 4 cores being enough because their games is too heavy for said 4 cores. That's why i5s get big frame drop in GTA V, Witcher 3, BF1, Watch Dogs 2: it's simply not enough. And no, Intel can't keep increasing the clock speed as they did the past years. No, they can't magically increase IPC either.
Once your game becomes too heavy you have no other choice than to optimise for the highest possible core count or it will run like shit on recent hardware and pin the threads to their maximum
It's not a "choice" AAA devs are making to optimise their stuff for more cores, they're forced to.

>If you think they are going to output games that run like shit on quad core cpu's you are fucking retarded, they would only hurt their own sales
Except it already happened, try any old i5 in the game i listed at the top of this post and enjoy your shit frametimes, enormously shit framedrops and shit average FPS. The shit frametimes & framedrops also happens on recent i5s.
Crysis sure as hell didn't get shit sales when it released, neither did GTA V that required an i5 minimum to run well.

Thinking of going with this while I wait for TR on Zen2/Zen3. I will migrate just about every drive and the 970 to these new parts, don't think I'm grabbing Vega and will wait for midrange Navi instead. Anything you can tell about the parts? Any suggestions? RAM is unholy expensive, but that will probably stay that way for a while. I compile some software every day, so the extra cores will be a godsend. I could also get more into encoding since it takes forever on a 3570k.
I've been out of the loop when it comes to cases. Which ones have nice ventilation, decent acoustics, and can hold many drives? I'm currently on one SSD and four drives at the moment, but am looking into putting two more drives and leave it at that. Also, what do you do with your previous hardware? I'm thinking of just storing it since a 3570k pulls too much juice for a custom router and I would really like ECC for setting up a NAS with ZFS.

The GPU is the most important part for games, then the CPU. The bechmarks you saw are probably using mid settings.

i7s currently sit around 70 - 80% usage in current and few years old games. They'll hit higher usage in the future and as such running software in the background will start to impact performance noticeably.

>ESPECIALLY since gaming resolutions will increase, further decreasing the load on the cpu to the GPU, faggit
That's the most stupid thing i've ever read. Why does resolution matter in CPU performance? An i5 will hit 100% at around 100 - 110FPS in BF1 regardless of GPU and resolution. You could do it in 4K with a 3080ti all you want, it'll still hit 100% and get horrible framedrops.

Do you think people are gonna play at 8k at 30 FPS in the future you massive idiot? People don't move up their resolution without moving up their GPU accordingly. The load on the CPU stays the same or becomes heavier because of high refresh-rate screens, and game become more intensive making the load become heavier regardless
>>
>>61372244
>No they don't stfu already
Yes they do. In fact, in many games they hit 100% utilisation. Denying this would expose you as a brainless shill.

>No they won't as people move to higher resolutions and the load decreases
That isn't how it works, retard. Do you seriously think that increasing resolution actually lowers CPU load at any given framerate? The only reason it lowers CPU load is through lowering the framerate. As GPUs continue to get more and more powerful, the framerate increases again and so does the CPU load. A 1080 Ti can already produce the kind of framerates at 1440p that a 1080 manages at 1080p.

First part is true, I was orginally going to go with ryzen, but what I use it for and what I needed didn't make sense. 7700k setup cost the same and had more what I needed.

z270i has better OC and higher memory clocks compared to its other version. Also it looks better, less empty ports and runs cooler. For a gaming setup there is no reason to get a big board with 75% open realestate.

An 240GB SSD would be very useful for you, the benefits are that you can boot anything 5 times faster, also you can install/compress/decompress 2 or 3 times faster. You will be surprised by how much time you can save. For example a very heavy stalker mod used to take 8 fucking minutes to load, now it takes 1 minute in my ssd, game also load screen faster.

By the way I only have a 120gb ssd and it was totally worth it, but I can't install many games on it so I need to rotate the games I'm currently playing.

depends what you're doing, for a gaming machine 4 physical cores are fine, otherwise if you're into video editing you might need more, for example consider that encoding anime can take half the time if you got a couple extra cores to use.

Video editing includes many things, if you make youtube gameplays and need to respect a schedule for example, encoding time can be fatal.

No, more than 2c/4t isn't necessary. You can do anything on that, including playing most games in 60fps.

But yes, more cores is better. Better minimum framerates in games, and better performance in pretty much everything outside of games.

i5 is still better for emulation than the R5, that's a reason. Sure, R5 will run native windows pc games better.

The i7 6850k renders only 5% less fps in general games but it has 20% better multi core performance, it will be better with future games than the 7700k.

It's only wide for EPYC.
We don't know the die locations for Threadripper yet, but it's fairly obvious we aren't going to have 4 dies with 2 disabled - so it's likely TR has a different package with 2 dies closer to the center.

Still overpriced and you don't even know whether the card was used for mining, which means 24h/day utilization.

The situation won't get better until next year the earliest.

And then new crypto currencies will occur once ETH dries up.

>>61373571
I mean the socket itself is only wide for the purpose of supporting Epyc (it's just as wide for TR obviously, but it doesn't actually need to have the dies spread out since it's unlikely to be 4 dies)
As I also stated, it's unlikely that Threadripper will actually have 4 dies with 2 disabled (it will very likely be a 2 die part)
See pic related.

If TR is laid out like 1 or 2 (just reusing EPYC packaging but with less dies) then it's unlikely that Noctua and co could just make a socket adapter.
But if it's laid out like 3 (which is more likely, considering the different packaging costs are minimal) then Noctua and co should be A-OK.

>>61373806
Elaborate?

Also I know it's a weird justification but coming from a GT 630, anything will be an improvement.

This explanation might be confusing. I'm not "intentionally" picking a performance gap at a potentially worse value.

I do not plan on upgrading from the 1050 soon, and I do want rocket league. I'd be satisfied with the performance of a 1050 over a GT 630 any day, and I believe it would increase the value of an upgrade to a 1060 or higher later if/when I need it.

How much of a difference does RAM speed even make anyways? I want to buy an entry level workstation rig but I'm tight on cash right now so I'm thinking about just buying 8 GB RAM now and adding 8 more later, but most of the RAM I find that's 3000 or 3200 mHz only comes in 2x8 configuration and not 1x8. The highest I can find in 1x8 is 2666 mHz.

$155 (shipping incl.) after rebate, vs $95 after rebate?

I asked a similar question last night (I had a 1050ti back ordered on amazon for $142) and it boiled down to "what games do I play?" Coming from a 1GB GT 630, I think the regular 1050 will be sufficient.

Just make sure your board supports it by checking the manufacturers site and downloading BIOS updates.

Depending on how quickly ETH difficulty ramps up, I want to say a couple of months; maybe until the end of the year. Restocks are already in the process, but I have a feeling that GPU manufacturers and board partners are enjoying this income spike.

are ultra-wide monitors a meme? In particular, is LG 25UM58-P any good? Couldn't find any better IPS monitor for it's price though.

how much should it be really worth? I can try a counter-offer maybe, even though when I talked with him didn't feel like he would go any lower.

Did you get the OC version or the non OC version?

>>61375294
200 was the original MSRP for a new one. I'd say less than 125.

I found a 980 Ti online for that price, maybe I should get that instead. I seriously doubt he'll let it go for 125.

It's just a 200USD card , it's not the same GTX 1060 6GB that cost 300 USD and performance varies http://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2604-gtx-1060-3gb-vs-6gb-benchmark-review?showall=1

Ask $130

What a sneaky Jew.

Thanks for buying my mining cards :^)

Can your PSU handle that power hog? If yes, go for it, the 980 Ti is better than the 1060 6GB.

But with Ryzen 3...
No price
No specific release date
No onboard graphics(?) =extra cash

Will Ryzen 3s offer anything more than g4560 at the budget price point aside from 2 extra physical cores?

I got a gtx titan x with a shitty preassembled that I bought as backup machine some time ago, how is that worth now? it's pretty much new, used only for a week when my main machine wasn't working.

new thread pls

I guess this is /pcbg/ material?

I already have a Ryzen desktop build for personal use, but I've been studying for multiple certs such as the RHCSA and want to continue learning about [Red Hat] Linux and also about, say, CD/CI or virtualization. I figured it'd help me study if I made a dedicated 'lab' for this purpose, perhaps as a hypervisor to fire up VMs.

I have one friend who is selling an i5 3570k/I think H77 motherboard/misc hardware for it from an old build; I also know a coworker who has I believe a 1055t processor and an incomplete FX-9590 build. I also still have my old build - AM2+ (DDR2) with a Phenom II x4 - that... I think could use that Thuban my coworker has. There's also the option of starting with another Ryzen build (maybe using r3) so I can update to a future r7 release if my 'needs' scale accordingly (although DDR4 is stupidly priced currently) or just deciding to go all out and buy old servers.

No matter what the choice is, I'll have to buy extra parts like HDD/SDD and possibly more non-DDR2 memory anyways, so it's just a matter of finding out what kind of cheap base to use. What's worth investing into? Any suggestions/ideas/price estimates?
