For just 1920x1080 gaming probably not unless you can get a deal on one. Or you know you want to play some game that needs a 1070 to play on maximum quality. All the prices are still a bit fucked up due to crypto mining.

>mobo has dual channel support

Is it still worth the extra $30 or so to get 4x8gb of ram rather than 2x16?

>>61600455
Almost everything about this is stupid

>>61600553
What specifically is wrong with it?

>>61600542
No

>>61600542
2x16 wiil provide plenty enough bandwidth, better to max out slots and not have to rebuy ram if you decide to max out your system

Is this the "I have more money than knowledge about PC building" build?

I have 2×4Gb 3000mhz lpx vengeance ram dual channel and i want to upgrade. If i add 2×8Gb 3000mhz lpx vengeance ram dual channel?
Looking at the mobo (pic related) the 4 ram slots are in 2 colors which means i can only run dual channel can these two dual channels have different kits?

If you're in to the LED craze, the Maximus boards also have Aura which can control the LEDs right off of the board, just another plus.

Given their history of forcing consumers to buy worse performing but more expensive chips, anti-competition behaviour/practices, and known bribery. How the fuck can anyone support Intel?

>>61601231

1. you're using a bunch of parts that aren't completely justified in their cost.

2. that motherboard is too big. ATX at most

3. change the M.2 to a 500gb. 1tb is actually unnecessary because the SSD is best for running boot and programs. Media should run off of an HDD

4. you only need a 750w power supply

5. Intel chips don't benefit from stupid high end RAM like the

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wy4cnn

I changed the motherboard, the RAM, the PSU, and the SSD and you save a lot of cash.

Also /pcbg/ doesn't take too well to flashy builds with LEDs and RGB whatever. So keep that in mind.

what you need for best gaming performance is

3. a 1440p 144hz or 1080p 240hz monitor

What would be the ideal amount of RAM for a media server? I've heard that FreeNAS/zfs would require at least a gig per TB. I plan for now having at least 32TB. But, I also see Synology prebuilts using 8GB with max caps of 150TB. Does it just depend on the software I use? Again it'd just be a box streaming shit via ethernet to a Kodi box.

WHY THE FUCK DOESNT RYZEN 3 HAVE A GPU?
twll me, is it actually good? better than i3, pentium etc?

>>61601430
what games? Ryzen can meet 144 Hz on a number of games.

>>61601313
Im pretty sure that ill need 1tb of storage for games, but thanks for the advice. So if I get faster ram above ddr4 3000 it wont make a difference with an i7 7700k?

>>61601402
more like CS:FAGOS

>>61601435
>WHY THE FUCK DOESNT RYZEN 3 HAVE A GPU?
Because that's the territory of the upcoming Zen-based Raven Ridge APUs.
>tell me, is it actually good? better than i3, pentium etc?
stock, it puts up a good fight. But unlike the i3 and Pentium competition, the R3 can be overclocked. And when overclocked, performance is closer to an i5 than an i3.

>>61600122

>playing video game
>decide I want an upgrade in preformance
>upgrade video card
>cpu is now bottlenecking

I still have ddr3 ram so I'm kinda fucked for upgrading. I can afford a cpu+mobo but getting new ram pushes me over budget. Not to mention my gpu upgrade did squat so it was essentially money wasted. It helped with older games but turns out my main game is mostly cpu intensive. Glad I refunded that order though

>>61601450
>So if I get faster ram above ddr4 3000 it wont make a difference with an i7 7700k?
correct. It makes a HUGE difference on AMD Ryzen CPUs, but not on Intel CPUs. Different architectures

>bought mobo and cpu that can't overclock
>bought 3.5gb 970 card
>bought 1080 60Hz monitor
heh... I, uh... well...

>>61601462
sell your old GPU and put the money towards new DDR4 ram.

>>61601457
i dont get it though, i need cpu power, not gpu which means if i wanted ryzen id need another investment (so the price ends up being more). and raven ridge is looking to be shit tier hyper budget stuff.

>>61601493
Raven Ridge hasn't released yet anon. They haven't even announced a release date.
Just grab a GTX 1030 or an RX 550 2GB on the cheap them.

>>61601477

Is there really a market for a radeon hd7870? Where am I supposed to sell it even, ebay?

>>61601438
Well DOOM and Prey,probably other new releases too

>>61601531
sell it on Craigslist or ebay. There's always a market for used parts. current ebay prices show it goes for $50 to $100, depending on which one, so you should be able to get new DDR4 ram for that price.

>>61601548
A Ryzen 5 1600 can peg the 200 FPS limiter in Doom. I'll assume similar for Prey. They'revery well optimized titles

is ryzen 3 worth it in Australia? the 1200 is $150 aud

>>61601614

>>61601557
I live in a rural area so craiglist is out of the question, I guess I might try ebay. My original plan was to use my old parts to build my gf a computer so I can get her into gaming, but I'd rather have a good rig for myself.

I guess my next question if anyone cares, is there a worthwhile budget upgrade from an overclocked i5 3570k? Or should I just shell out the ~$300+ for a decent cpu/mobo combo. I don't care about anything above 1080p and 60fps currently, so I don't think I need top of the line products

Any suggestions will be helpful

>>61601678
Bad power supply.
Don't need to buy windows. Pirate it, faggot. The chinese do.

>>61601678

1) You don't need that Hyper 212. Stock cooler runs fine
2) 8GB RAM is enough

>>61601695
I am going to pirate it, i just put it there to complete the build

>>61601678
A few questions.
1: Do you plan to upgrade later on?
2: If so, does upgrading while keeping the same motherboard and memory matter to you?
3: What games do you plan to play?
4: Do you want the best bang for the buck, or the cheapest usable for gaming?

>>61601705
Yeah, there's that too. 212 is also a bitch to install, almost as bad as stock intel cooler with its stupid plastic pin inserts.
Use the money saved to splurge on the PSU.

>>61601678

does that cpu come with a cooler? aftermarket are way overkill.
also just pirate windows you can get genuine with a google search

>>61601718
You can get the 212 LED which while it has a worse HS, is a 100 times easier to install.

>>61601718

have they changed the 212 evo? mines from 2012 and is easy to install, I even replaced my thermal compound recently and it took no time

Should I just buy whatever 3200mhz ram I like now and hope that it will eventually be compatible? Or am I better off only going for Samsung B Die based memory? These prices are killing me and I just want to buy a nice pair of sticks before they increase again.

>>61601678

Well currently, the best value build is an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor, with a good B350 chipset motherboard (Asrock AB350M Pro 4 is a great choice here), 8 GB of ram (the faster, the better), a good PSU, and a ~$50 case (I'd look at a Corsair Carbide series case or a Fractal Design Focus G)

As to Windows, don't buy it. microsoft will give you windows 10 for free from their own website.

>>61601820
You are supposed to tighten the center screw after screwing in the four mounting parts. This is the part people bitch about the most.

>>61601830

>>61601783
And is 750w really gonna be enough when im overclocking it?

Best manufacturers for 1050ti?

>>61601800
Thanks for the suggestions, i just put the parts whatever i found cheap but now I will make changes according to your suggestions thanks again

Whats the best i can get for around $300?

>>61601857
Also, Ryzen processors NEED a graphics card. GPU prices are currently fucked over thanks to miners. The best GPU you can get right now that isn't ridiculously overpriced is the 1050Ti

>>61601843
More than enough

>>61601759
>>61601780
Alrighty then, looks like I might just play it safe and stick with the Flare X or Dominator Platinum sticks. rip my wallet

>>61601840
I've been running my pc without the center screw tightened for 5 years :v I thought it was just the pivot point for the adjustable bracket.

also I'd like to point out that you can move a heat sink around on the cpu, people act like these components are extremely delicate but once the cpu is seated its difficult to break it and lightly scratching the lid isn't going to hurt your temps

>>61601859
a handjob from a black hooker

Going for a R5 1600 build for gaming and vegas video editing. Which B350 MoBo is the best? I'm looking at the AsRock AB350 Pro 4 since it has 3 chassis fan headers unlike the mATX. I want mATX tho but the MSI Mortar Arctic (it has enough case fan headers unlike the AB350M mATX) had "bad vrm" so I'm not sure about it. Keep it under $120 so the tomahawk is not considered. (Hopefully neutral colors since the build is B&W)

>>61601871
What's the difference in oc edition it only costs a bit more in my country

>>61601844
Probably go for Zotac. The Dual Fan OC one. Check comparisons on the net also :D

>>61601880
No. What it is gonna do if you move it around is introduce air bubbles into contact point (the main reason why you always reapply the paste if you remove the heat sink) and not tighten it just means that the paste has to do a bigger job compared to metal on metal on contact.

>>61601890
Its factory overclocked for some better performance. Here. I made you a build based on USA prices.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4QKvyf

>>61601890
are you talking about the 1050ti? the oc edition has a slightly faster stock clock/mem speed, without you having to mess around with overclocking it yourself

>>61601888
Just daisy chain your fans or use a molex adapter to run your fans directly off your psu.

>>61601912
if I do connect it directly to my PSU then it will always run at full speed? The case has 2 intake and 1 exhaust so the exhaust should be the one directly connected amirite?

>>61601905
Thanks i will check the prices in my country and i found this build better than a lot of other builds i looked, this is the build that i am going to make
>>61601906
Well if oc edition is better then i will purchase it because it costs only little more than 1050ti

>>61601947
>if I do connect it directly to my PSU then it will always run at full speed?
Yes. Regardless, you always want your fans to be running at a constant speed. A constant slightly louder noise is better than listening to the wind up and wind down of a case fan. Unless you buy quiet fans.

>>61601903
>air bubbles
If you were de-lidding a cpu then MAYBE you should be worried about air bubbles, but for heat sink installation this is a non issue. People really make pc building out to be harder than it is, as long as you don't put too little paste on, or WAY too much it will be fine.

>>61601957
Yes, if you don't know about overclocking just get the OC edition. Saves you the hassle and you don't have to void your warranty on the off chance something goes wrong

>>61601996
>but for heat sink installation this is a non issue.
It is an non issue but if you wiggle and move your HS around after you have installed it especially if it is not tighten down it becomes an issue. It is just a cautionary tale.

Don't put too little paste.
Don't put too much paste.
Method really doesn't matter.
Put your HS down and hold it with one hand while you tighten the sides.
Make sure it is secure

Done.

>>61601996
>if you don't know about overclocking just get the OC edition. Saves you the hassle and you don't have to void your warranty on the off chance something goes wrong
That is bullshit. The only time where something can go wrong with GPU overclocking is when you push your GPU voltage too high but pascal is so retard friendly it absolutely prevents you from doing that.

Nvidia bios all have voltage limitation below the hard specs and the only way you can exceed them is by hardware modding the card.
GPU boost 3.0 makes all the cards run within 5% of each other.
GPU overclocking if you want to do it manually is easy as fuck.

I don't know why people sprout memes like void warranty on the off chance something goes wrong when it comes to the GPU.

>>61602040
>memes
I don't think you know what that word means.

If someone doesn't know anything about pc parts or what oc edition is, they should get the factory oc version. the price difference is so negligible, and from what I see they come with generally better cooling configurations.

$10 extra for a ready out of the box part is completely acceptable.

And so is the performance difference. 100 or so mhz is actually only 3-5 FPS gain in real world games.

>and from what I see they come with generally better cooling configurations.
No they don't you moron. The only difference is the binning of the chip.

When you pay for the OC edition you are just paying for a better chip and with boost 3.0, that translate to a 100 or so difference in mhz at max load. Everything else is the same.

If that you don't mind that 3-5 FPS for 30 or so dollars be my guest.

>>61602390

At that point you might as well grab an AMD Ryzen 3 1200 with a Gigabyte/Asrock B350 ITX motherboard.

And yea, GPUs are overpriced at the moment because of miners. The 1060 3GB should be around $170. Just get a 1050Ti until prices return to normal

Here I saved you 30 dollars. Don't pick a Z board if you are not going to overclock. You don't put a CPU cooler so I assumed you are not going to.

>>61602444
The Ryzen 3 competes with the i3 not with the pentiums. At the sub 100 dollar price range, you are still better off with Intel.

>r3 1200
at least add that if you want gaming the g4560 is cheaper and faster in games

>>61602472
Huh I didn't even notice that the G4560/G4600 got removed. Seriously who the fuck edited the OP. The R3 1200 is over a hundred dollars while the G4560/4600 are both sub 100.

Gaming & just general use, nothing else.
1500$ budget, not including peripherals.

I'm gonna be putting the two HDD's into Raid 0, and use the SSD for boot.

>At the sub 100 dollar price range, you are still better off with Intel.
with that cooler he chose, He may as well have bought a Ryzen 5

>>61602517
The G4560/G4600 have had production slashed by Intel because they were eating i3 sales. Intel is trying to force people to buy i3's. At the i3 price point though, the R3 is a better buy unless you're building a Dolphin emulator

>>61602547
He didn't choose any cooler retard.
Did you even read list or are you ready to fire off your shill salvo the moment you open a pcp list and see the words intel?

>>61602566
Yes at the i3 price point, the R3 is better unless of course you are in a unique situation where you don't require a GPU. Regardless, that is not the point of my post, my post is about some AMD shill altering the OP to suit his narrative again. I guess removing the 7700k was too obvious so changing the G4560/4600 is more subtle

>>61602586
Again. G4560 and G4600 prices aren't what they should be They're sold out virtually everywhere, and the only places that have them have G4560s at $82 and G4600s at $90. At that point, just grab an R3

i want to play dota on ubuntu and watch some hi-def movies

did i screw anything up? i got a mobo with wifi and the correct socket for the cpu. i got ram that's on the mobo qvl and a video card that is temporarily overpriced but a good value to begin with. i got a modest ssd with a large external and a power supply that i have no idea whether to gauge if it is sufficient. minimal case, keyboard (cherry mx red), and mouse, and a fairly large monitor

did i forget something or miss some fundamental compatibility issue? thanks

>>61602607

Is my build ok for gaming and CAD? Budget is 800-1000$
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4Tc8gL

With GPUs being a bust at the moment i'm considering something a little crazy and a little pointless. With AMD announcing Bristol Ridge being available to buy, and my hunger for a new project, i'm seriously thinking about getting a Streacom F1C chassis and building myself a new HTPC. With the added bonus of being able to just drop a raven ridge APU when they are released.

I do currently have a Gigabyte Brix i3, but it's fairly anaemic for anything besides video and has limited options for storage.

I may regret my decision in the future, but I pulled the trigger today on a new system.

CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
MOBO: MSI B350m Pro Gaming
RAM: 16gb (2x8) Corsair LED DDR4 3000mhz
SSD: Samsung 960 EVO 250gb
PSU: EVGA 650 G3
CASE: MasterBox Lite 3.1

Already picked up a Gigabyte RX 580 4gb locally for $250. Now I can use my i5 4570/RX 460 as an HTPC.

Did I fuck up anywhere in particular?

Anyone use optane with their hdd? Is it good?

>>61604708
>MOBO: MSI B350m Pro Gaming
That one kind of sucks

>>61604708
I can't see your RAM in the QVL? Why not the Gaming Pro Carbon for some delicious Intel NIC and Realtek ALC1220?

>>61604708
>Did I fuck up anywhere in particular?
I'd have gotten a better motherboard, and a better case, but otherwise, it's fine. Hell, even then it's fine.

>>61604712
>optane
don't bother with that meme.

>>61604755
It hit that budget spot that I was trying to find. Motherboard probably wasn't the best place to cut corners, but the reviews seemed okay and I doubt I'll be overclocking any time soon.

>>61604761
Didn't consult the QVL. And I wanted to stick to mATX form factor as far as size goes. As for the NIC, I'm using an AC1200 adapter for wireless (I know wireless is garbage, but running ethernet isn't doable and I've had bad experiences with powerline adapters in the past) and for the Realtek ALC1220, I use an audio interface, so I don't know if that matters.

>>61604772
Fine is what I was aiming for. Mostly wanting a faster SSD, decent gaming experience, and a multi-core/multi-thread system for content creation.

>>61604834
The B350M PRO-VDH, B350M Bazooka or B350M Mortar all have a superior VRM setup and are around the same price. For whatever reason, the B350M Pro Gaming only has a 3+2 phase VRM setup, compared to the 4+2 phase design that MSI used on all their other B350 boards. It's really not ideal for an eight core chip, though you'll probably get away with a 1700 at stock. I wouldn't try overclocking it on that board though.

>>61600122
What case should I buy? I currently have an InWin Mana 136, a MSI B150 PC MATE motherboard and a MSI ARMOR GTX 1080 OC (pretty long card).

I like minimal looking cases, particularly would like a silver/metal or gunmetal finish, but really just want a classy looking case more than anything.

>>61604926
This is why I knew I should've come here first, but I kept putting off buying a new rig over and over again for the past few months and felt like pulling the trigger tonight and didn't want to risk talking myself out of it again.

Depending on the performance, I may resell the mobo and get a nicer one eventually. I'm only out ~$70 minus the resell if I do.

>>61604708
Also, I lied I got a 500gb 960 EVO, not 250gb.

>>61603979
they are both the cheapest 24" 1080p adaptive sync displays. It's apples to jew apples.

I'm looking at reviews for all kinds of shit because I have some money coming in a few months. The thing that caught my interest the most is optane. I'm already on kaby/z270 so that's not a problem.
When paired with an HDD it loads WoW faster than an 850 evo and a 960 evo(960 is on another graph).
Is something like two 2tb HDDs in raid0+optane a good game library solution? I'd really like to get my games of my 500gb SSD outside of my most played one. It's TLC and I'm chewing through it's life span way too fast.

>>61605724
Optanes aren't worth their price mark

>>61605817
$70 optane and a $100 hdd appears to give you 4tb of SSD game load times for the price of a 500gb ssd though?

>>61605670
There was probably an update to fix this but on the current version and latest BIOS it's showing an the wrong temp. My biggest concern is if this is a software issue or hardware issue.

>is it safe to connect two led strips to an rgb header via a y-splitter?
I don't see why it would be an issue. If you can daisy chain them together I don't see why you couldn't put them in parallel.

>>61605833
Saw the optane + HDD thing. I did some googling and not quite sure how it works (didn't look too hard) but if it works that's good.

I was thinking more of optane on it's own (where it's 32GB for almost $80).

>>61605874
I double checked and it was indeed updated. Considering it's a ryzen master update I would have to say it is almost most definitely a software issue.

>I don't see why it would be an issue
I don't either but electricity is still magic to me. I really should learn more about how amps and voltage work.

Am I better off going 2x4GB RAM, or 1x8GB?

>>61605896
Oh yeah that's of course not worth it. If you were around during the early SSD days there a bunch of caching solutions, this is a modern take on that.
My understanding is that software uses logic to manage which 32gb of files would be best kept on the low latency/high speed optane for you.
It's like having a qt trap under your desk on adderall constantly shuffling files around your dicks for you.
I was hoping someone else bit and could give some feedback.
I may just buy a bunch of 2tb drives and make a big raid. Modern HDDs can get past 200 read speeds, a bunch in raid would be nice for a game library where the data is trivial to redownload I think.

>>61604671
So what would you propose I use?
A Ryzen processor that I'm pretty much wasting, since I'm not doing editing or rendering of any sorts? Or, an i7 that's way out of budget?

>>61600122
I need to know what monitor I should buy if I was wanting a 34 inch curved wide-screen.
Didn't have to be curved but it is preferable.
Also I am on a budget so whats the best colour wise and sharpness wise ? I'm not buying the ridiculously over priced Acer predator or Asus Rog one. Fuck that noise.

>>61606025
If you want a 34 inch curved wide-screen, the cheapest you can get is somewhere is 600$. Mind you, most of that price is due to the curve.

If you're willing to dish out 600$, the LG 34UC79G-B is the probably the way to go. 21:9, curved, 2560 x 1080, 144hz, & 34 inches.

I can't speak for the colors or sharpness myself, but it's an IPS monitor so it's probably gonna have good colors.


If it doesn't have to be curved, then you're looking at something in the 300-400 range.

If you wanna go that route, one of the LG 34UM's is probably the way to go.

>>61605944
Optane is a high-speed (higher than NVME SSD speed - well, at least in single queue depth) cache. In order for data to be cached, it has to be read into the cache, from the slow HDD. This concept has been used for ages. XP had ReadyBoost, Seagate integrated flash memory into their 'SSHD' drives, budget performance TLC SSDs added a small amount of SLC as buffer/cache to increase performance, etc. The idea is you take all the frequent reads that cause the drive to thrash slowly and throw them into the cache, so the drive can do large sequential reads (which would otherwise exhaust the cache) with less interruption. You also buffer small frequent writes and write them as larger ones sequentially.

It won't make your whole storage array as fast as an SSD. A single modern game can dwarf the whole 16/32GB cache. The question is, in your use case scenario (games) is it better to have super fast 32GB cache (optane) 120GB very fast cache (120/128GB NVMe) or a fast 240GB (SATA SSD) cache. Those three options are roughly the same price.

The listed benchmark shows that with WoW, the difference between SATA SSD and pure optane is 2%. Optane costs roughly 800% more per GB.

You can set up SSD caching with something like PrimoCache, or since you get a ton more space you can just manually move games you actually want to play over to a dedicated game SSD and not fuck with caching at all. Or you could buy an NVMe drive to use for your OS+Apps and dedicate the old 500GB to gaming while it lasts.

>>61606998
Yep, and not just any AMD board. FX processors use AM3 socket motherboards.

Also, FX processors are garbage. Just because new AMD is good, doesn't mean old AMD is.

>>61607030
Virtually all are accurate (except when it comes from Intel, All you need to do is look at their history of this to find why)
It comes down to what you do with the computer and what monitor you're using.
144 hz monitor for 144 fps gaming? 7700k.
Anything else, including streaming while gaming? Ryzen 7 1700

The 7700K is a one trick pony
The 1700 is like that gorgeous girl with heterochroma who's a world class cook, and a yoga instructor, while also holding a medical degree

>>61606811
Looks good, you dont even need a graphics processor cpu anymore because the maincard has VR support

>>61606960
Considering your budget, I'd suggest a nicer cooler like a large bequiet! or Cryorig (especially if you're going to overclock that space heater).

Also, I'd suggest an m.2 NVMe SSD.

careful there last time i told someone that the OP is correct and that the 7700k is better for 144hz with sources 20 people spammed "shill"

>>61607212
meh. If you aren't anal about FPS (and no one but Intel shills truly are), the 1700 is a better buy. hell, even if aiming for a 144 hz machine, I'd grab a Ryzen, simply because I refuse to support an anti-competitive company like Intel

>>61607135
Money is not an issue, thanks for the tip. Quality is important to me and I don't want stuff that brakes easily. Not interested in overclocking (atm) becuase this performance is a huge step for me anyway. Missed out on gaming in the last 4 years or so.

I accidentally smudged a tiny bit of the pre-applied thermal paste on my CPU cooler with my thumb because I'm retarded, should I wipe it off and apply Arctic Silver?

>>61607486
depends on how bad it is

>arctic silver
If you have a better thermal paste you should just wipe it and use it.

I wouldn't really care, it's mostly for old-school gaming

I have an i7 and an RX480 in my actual rig, this is just a project for funsies

Rate my build /g/. I'm just going to play AAA games with at least 60fps/1080 on high and be able to render occasional Vegas projects.

The build costs exactly $800
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mQ2vyf
+ $40 mATX case + $5 fan hub

Is a UPS a meme or is a surge protector + voltage regulator combo good enough?

Have GPU prices started to come down yet?

I don't know how strict your budget is, but Ryzen 3 is essentially just a cheaper i5. I'd suggest Ryzen 5 4c/8t or 6c/12t if you're going to be rendering with any sort of regularity.

I'd also suggest at least a 1060 or RX 480/580 if you can find one cheap unless you're fine with medium settings 60fps/1080p. Ultra settings on a 1050Ti will probably keep you at a steady 40-50fps.

And 16gb is not a meme. I have 8gb on my laptop and my current desktop and it's frustrating.

>>61604708
I fucked up several things I posted, so pic related is exactly what I ordered and I have a Gigabyte RX 580 Gaming 4G already.

>>61608246
get 2x4gb ram for dual channel.
get monitor with an ips panel. you may go a little over you budget but it's worth paying extra for something you'll be looking at few hours a day.
also
>play AAA games with at least 60fps/1080 on high
that's not going to happen with this build

>>61608548
Going to back up what this guy said. 1060 over the 1050, and R5 1600 over the R3.

You could also look into getting an m.2 SSD over that 2.5" since your board supports it.

>>61608548
>>61608602
>>61608689
Great points guys. My budget can actually allow me a spare $200. I'm probably going to up it to a R5 1600 and GSkill Trident Z 8x2 3200 (but there are no 3200mhz in the QVL which is weird). Unfortunately, even a 570/1060 is $300 dollars so the 1050Ti is more of a placeholder (half the price). Also, I might up the monitor to a LG 23MP68VQ which is an IPS with freesync (planning to buy an RX 580 when prices lower) unless you can suggest a better <$120 monitor. The SSD is fine I guess since M.2s are rare finds in computer shops here in the PH.

What's the difference between Nvidia OC and GT OC?

Can someone tell me what the point of the Bristol Ridge APUs is?

The A12-9800 costs 115€ here (which is even discounted from 144€).
http://www.arlt.com/Hardware/PC-Komponenten/Prozessoren-arlt/AMD/Sockel-AM4/AMD-A12-9800-Prozessor-Box.html

Why would't anyone just buy a G4560 (60€) and GT 1030 (60€) instead to get twice as much performance?

I'm looking for a dual monitor arm anons. We don't have much options here in maple syrup land and the popular one seems to be this Vivo brand.

Anyone got experience with it or have any better suggestions?

Any recommendations to upgrade from a Intel dual core and a shit mb?

>>61609104
>Bristol Ridge

A cheap way to get into the AM4 platform. A placeholder if you like. I'd get an Athlon X4 950 (supposedly $59) with a GT 1030 on a B350 mobo, OC it a bit, then upgrade to Zen 2 in 2019. You can't do that with a G4560

Initial steps of conceptualizing a Threadripper build. Very rough outline - thoughts?

>Threadripper 1950x
>(use the included default AIO cooler?? is this how I burn my house down?)
>1080 TI (leaning towards MSI Lightning Z)
>2x 16gb RAM - the X399 mobos seem to all support 8 slots however, so maybe 4x8gb is better?
>Asrock Taichi, but all the X399 mobos look fairly similar in terms of specs right now based on available info

>>61609641
we don't know if it really comes with an AIO, but I expect it to be enough cooling for TR is it comes
siggraph is 2 days away, doesn't hurt to wait and see if Vega actually does a miracle, but yes, a 1080ti will last you some good time - what resolution/refresh rate screen are you planning to get?
get 4x8GB, ram in quad channel is bretty good
I think everyone should wait and see proper reviews of the motherboards, power delivery is an important thing for a processor that has high tdp

>>61609641
More recent rumours suggest you only get an Asetek bracket, not an AIO. I'd get 4x8GB because >muh bandwith. The X370 Taichi is probably the best AM4 board now, hopefully the X399 version continues to be so. I'd have a lot of fun doing a Threadripper build - the RAM, the cooling, the BIOS, all that shit

Even though I researched parts for months back then, I fell way out of the loop and now recoil at the thought of diving back in. I can't wait any longer, but I'm a miserly fuck. I'm guessing I should finally OC at this point, but how far can I actually push this build without buying anything new, in order to meet the standards of games today?

Wifi adapter is TL-WDN4800. It worked straight out of the box, so I'm assuming it's not a driver issue. Or is it?
>>61610298
It's perfect. No scaling needed.

>>61610191
those got ridiculously expensive too.

Currently using a dusty 8800GT because i sold my R9 290 after more than 3 years for almost the price i got it for, so i can't really say i hate miners. Got to use a really nice card for 3 years for about 50 bucks, probably the best deal i ever made.

3.5ghz for easy mode and good temps on stock cooler.

3.7-3.9 if you have an aftermarket cooler.

>>61610191
Powerline adapters heavily depend on the wiring inside your house, if the router and your PC are on separate circuits/breakers or are far apart they don't work worth a shit

yea obviously waiting for more detailed info on mobos. i hope the NDAs allow sites to do some reviews a couple days before 8/10 instead of having to wait till release.

>you only get an Asetek bracket
maybe ill just do air cooling then.

>>61610255

Thanks, and I suppose I'll spring for a larger SSD too. Also, could you tell me if I have much to worry about with bottlenecking with a newer card?

>>61610343
Should have gone with 2x8GB for dual channel. You can probably load an XMP profile in the BIOS. Ryzen loves speedy RAM and tight timings.

Definitely update the driver.

>>61610471
should 3000 ram be oc'd to 3200?

Is a 1060 3GB still not worth getting considering it's the only graphics card available for normal price?
1050tis are currently ~ € 170 - 200, 1060 3GB start at 200. 6GB version is € 100 more.

>>61610518
different versions of the 1060 6gb dont seem to be more than ~30$ more than the 3gb, shop around more

>>61610496
Your RAM is currently running at 2133 CL15, which is absolutely slow. It's the default speed unless you change it in the BIOS. Download this QVL list

https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/PRIME-B350-PLUS/HelpDesk_QVL/

and if your RAM (check the model number) is in there at 2933/3000, means you can now OC the RAM. It's as simple as changing a setting in the BIOS

If you can manage it, sure.

I'm running 2667mhz/15CL rated RAM at 3066/14CL.

>>61610608
most mainboards only come with two SATA cables, so if you intend to use more than two SATA devices and don't have any cables flying around in your chaotic cable box you need to buy some extra. You don't need anything else, unless you got a retardedly big case and a PSU with short power cables, then you might need an extension.
