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How to assemble a PC, select components & more (kind of outdated)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

CPUs:
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>7400 - Cheapest quad core you can get
>7500 - Good but up to 7600k if you can
>7600k - Best value for higher fps gaming / mixed usage
>7700k - Only for 144hz
>i9/Used Xeon - 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 (lol)
>GTX1060 6GB - 1080p@80hz maxed, 1440p@60hz at lower settings
>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 are shit and don't work (LOW FPS)

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.

I've had good luck with TP-Link products. They tend to get the job done.

It's finally all working!

Except my second monitor

Which only works for bios for some reason

I might as well ask this here. My GPU is roughly 4 years old and I need to change the thermal paste. It is a Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB, but I don't think they let you get access to the heatsink. I've tried to unscrew the screws on the back, but to no avail; the screws are very tight, and nearly impossible to get out. Please help!

>>61425418
Why not just get a new one?

>>61425432
Not really a need, it still works fine, it just runs a little hot

There's nothing worth seeing. The case is the same Fractal R4 I've had for years.

CPUs:
>G4560/G4600 - Budget builds (<$500)
>7400 / r5 1500x - same price, but r5 is 4 cores / 8 threads. 7400 is about 5% faster in single threaded, but slower in everything else.
>7500 / r5 1600 - both are priced similar. 7500 5% faster single threaded but slower in everything else. 7500 is quad core only while 1600 is 6 core / 12 threads.
>7600k / r5 1600x - 7600k is unlocked quad core only and again, 10-15% faster in single threaded depending on clock rate. 1600x is 6 cores, 12 threads. 1600x is faster in everything else and even in decently threaded games. which is pretty much every single game for the last two years.
>7700k / r7 1700 - 7700k is 4 cores / 8 threads. also unlocked. identical to 7600 i single threaded performance. intel reconmends to not overclock. uses tim between its heatspreader. 7700k will be about 10-15% faster in single threaded peformance at 4.5ghz and above and loses in everything else. 1700 is 8 cores and 16 threads. can be ovclocked to 3.6 - 3.9ghz easy.
>xeon, i9, threadripper, 1800x - Compute/Multitask/VM/mixed use; Not for just gaming
only butthurt intel fags backed by fake news from toms hardware whos an offical paid, and endorses intel sponsor rebut those claims.

>>61426030
You must be trying to View it with an Intel® build

What fans should I use to replace standard GPU fans with? I'm looking for a used 570 (580 if I can get one) and I know they have been used for mining, meaning the fans are probably shit.

Should I pull the trigger on this?

I'm uncertain about the TN panel, but I guess this is the more affordable option as opposed to IPS @ 144.

>afraid of dumbing myself down with a large screen
>afraid of becoming unable to work on a small laptop screen
I did some of my best work on a 1024x768 CRT.
Why do people think they need three 4k monitors?
