Is this any good?
what should I change?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Dq2yCy

Had to restart picking my parts after realising that the build before was way off. Not sure if this is good or if it can be improved. Any recommendations?

I really don't want to go over £450, but if I had to, my ultimate limit would be £500

>>62001940
Get at least 3000mhz ram
>>62001964
a 650watt PSU would be fine.
no issues for me

overclocking will probably be limited to 3.8 GHz at best for both of you

>>62001964
SSD breh

>>62001828
So why get 1300x if you can easily OC 1200 to 4.0 ghz?

>>62002086
if you don't want to overclock and feel uncomfortable doing it. no other reason

>>62002046
Would a cheap one like this work? I probably won't be putting a lot of programs on it, since I'm too scared to mess something up.

dont fall for the AYYYmd meme /g/

what case should i get? considering either a source 340 elite or a define r5 right now but i find it hard to choose. atx, 3 hard drive 1 ssd is really all the requirements i have. minimal look, quality and silence are 3 bonuses

>>62002233
You dont need more than 4 cores goy

>>62002233
I just bought the R5 1600. Feels good.

>>62002187
The included CPU cooler isn't that good at higher temps. you probably will need a better one to get more performance

Bruhs, I'm overwhelmed with the variety of B350 and X370 boards out there.

I basically want a high quality build board with OC capabilities and atleast 1 M.2 slot.

Reminder to report shitposters.

what's the upper gpu bottleneck limit on ryzen 5 1600 at 1080p?

1070? 1080?

>>62002413
neither, they wont be bottlenecked

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wXjF2R

7700k and z270 are placeholders for now until we see how coffee lake is

tell me about the state of ssds. are the kingston uv and av ones any good? really im looking at the samsung 850 and 850 pros. im looking for longlivety really

>>62002432
also I know Vega isn't really all that great but should I consider getting one with a freesync monitor or even getting the gtx 1080ti anyways with a freesync monitor?

>>62002431
omg, I meant cpu bottleneck -.-

>>62002489
even then neither is bottlenecked. the way "bottlenecks" work means even a 1060 wouldn't bottleneck a 8350

>>62002534
yeah I'm kind of worried that my r5 1600 wont be able to keep up with the gtx1080 at 1080p

PC building advice: Don't. Just go buy a PS4. PC gaming is doomed. Let the entire industry crash and let them suspend production of desktop cards.

Do you think best buy will have 8tb hdds on sale again later this year or should I bite the bullet and buy it now? I'd rather wait, but maybe there's more savings to be had now. It's 160usd with a 15usd card included for use in September.

Upgrading my pc soon for more extensive gaming (aiming at 60 fps maxed out at 1440p)

Currently running a 970gtx with i5 6600k, 16gb ram 650w psu and the h110m-a mobo. Also want to up my screen resolution from 1920x1080 to 1440p 2560x1440 and was thinking of getting a 1070 from EVGA. Not sure about what exact monitor to get (would prefer if it was under 300 usd though not sure if there are any with gsync or freesync). Another question i had is why dont you recommend i5 as CPU? I got it august last year and it still seems to serve me well

>>62003497

Q: Why shouldn't I clamp an externally powered fan to the side of my computer case and just pump in tremendous amounts of air instead of relying on pussy case fans?

>>62003766
Just take the PC case side panel off.

>>62003766
Because that looks jank as hell

>>62003662
>Why aren't you recommending i5?
Not OP, but since most people don't only play games or use programs that get more out of having higher clock speeds than thread/core count.
Also probably the same reason why it's recommended to get 16gb ram now, since if you want to do anything while playing a game (like having a browser open, or playing music) it won't have as much of an impact on fps as when you have an i5.

Though if you do only play games and consume media, an i5 could be a better option.

The first ryzen to pop up is at around 4200

>>62003766
You can, but you could also buy a case like that if you look hard enough.
But this would also mean that you will have to clean it more often.

monitors, i know the dell ultrasharp tend to look better but can i get a run down between these three? theyre all similar in price

Dell UltraSharp U2715H
BenQ PD2700Q
BenQ GW2765HT

and then compared to something like this

ViewSonic VA2719-2K

whi h is half the price but still ips and 2k. i dont see how the price difference can be so large. also for background in in Australia and doing digital art. id go 4k but i cant see any around the $600 mark that are ips and at least 27'

My local Microcenter has an open box 1080 Ti Gaming X in stock for $675. Should I buy it? Will a 2600k running at 4.5 bottleneck it?

$30 for a 450W power supply, if you're making a very no-frills build

>>62003841
I'm not really into 1440p gaming so I don't know much about monitors.
But your cpu will deffinetly not be a bottleneck, I'd say look at some 1440p benchmarks of the 1070 since they generally try to push their system as hard as possible.

If you don't have time for that though, a 1070 is usually said to be the current sweet spot for 1440p.
So you might not hit 60 fps at highest settings all the time, if that's what you're going for or higher than 60fps (like 100hz or 144hz which should be possible I think with your i5) I would recommend the 1080.

>>62001828
If you're so dumb to consider each and every other processor as a good CPU, you should prolly kys.

>>62003740
its okay if you still have it , but an upgrade is reccomended , if you buy it , dont spend more than like 70$~100$ on it , 200$ gets you an R5 1600 wich is pretty much the best chip perf/$ wise to date

I have an 240GB SSD for OS and programs and it's the only drive I have
what's the cheapest HDD I can get that's not shit so I can actually store stuff and install video games?

>>62004089
If you want to run programs off it, I would get one that runs at at least 7200 RPM
If you just need mass storage for movies and television or whatnot, you should get 5400

>>62004089
A 1TB WD blue for ~$50 is just about the best you can do.

>>62004061
Not the guy, but I saw one lately for 70~90 with a scythe cooler, so yeah they are pretty cheap if you can wait.

>>62003841
I took some time to look at 1440p monitors, this one seems to be a good 60hz option, with great colours and since it's an ips monitor the viewing angles should also be really good.

What do you need the soundcard and 2 mice for? Also you can pirate Windows, or look for some key site that sells them for a couple bucks.

>>62004485
Prebuilts will always skimp somewhere. It might seem like you're getting a good deal on the CPU + GPU but what you'll miss is the garbage low speed RAM, unrated fire hazard PSUs, and bad mobos. Plus they can pretty much just throw refurb parts in there and not tell you.

Do they make self-contained cooler/fan hybrids so you can have fans blowing refrigerated air?

>>62004990

>>62005110
for pure gayming hyperthreading with 6+ cores brings basically no performance increase. add better IPC and higher clocks and it will outperform r5 1600 in every game.

oh ok Wish me luck guys

>>62004660
If you just want to run at stock speeds, the Wraith coolers (if included with your particular CPU) are just fine

The ever-popular Hyper 212 EVO is a little bit better, but you'll need to get a mounting adapter from Cooler Master's website; ditto for for a lot of other coolers in that range

Noctua makes an AM4-compatible version of their 120mm single-fan/tower cooler, but then you'll have to pay Noctua prices

What am I missing guys. What's the magic trick.

Convince me not to cut up a case and fit one of these inside.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvY0dvHSZnE

>>62006149
The only difference between them will be cooling (usually just the number of fans) and clock speeds (either the base speed or a common OC'd speed). Any major brand will generally be alright, just check reviews as usual.

>>62006195
guaranteed tinnitus

>>62006149
if you have to ask this, the extra juice the different OCs get are probably irrelevant to you, so the only considerations you need to worry about are:
Do you want two fans or three, and will it fit in my case?
Do you like the design?

this is of course assuming you filter out all the shitty literally who brands

>>62006149
the differences are
>cooling (temperature and noise)
>performance (clock speeds)
>overclocking
>warranty

basically pick 2-3 of the cheapest one that have at least 2 fans and just read reviews.

1050 and 1050ti are the only cards worth it if you have 200 bucks or less to spend. 570/580 are impossible to find and if you do they are vastly overpriced. 1060s can be found for 220 but desu if I was spending that much I'd pay another 40 to get the 6gb version.

Then you got the 560 which is worse than the 1050 and then meme cards like the 1030 and 550.

The used market? Maybe. But at least locally, prices are fucked there too for me. I'd rather buy new at that point.

I think the only question is if the ~15% increase in performance from the 1050 2GB to the 1050ti 4GB is worth the $35-40 price increase.

I'm gonna pickup one soon if the 570 prices don't correct themselves by next month. I prefer AMD GPUs but I can't stand using my integrated graphics anymore.

Hello, friends.

I recently became lucky enough to finally have free time for this hobby of mine. Last time I built my own PC was in 2010; a lot has changed since then, and I need some help from people who are more knowledgable.

I'm from Bulgaria, with a budget of 4000 Euros. I want to build a PC that can run all the games I throw at it at 1440p. If possible, I'd like it to make as little noise as possible. Any tips?

Thanks!

If you're looking to upgrade later, a 1600 is a nice choice.

You should get a used R9 290/390 and a beefier PSU, shit's so cash bro, 480/580 perfomance for cheaps, only downside is the slightly higher power draw.
Also, congratulations on not giving in to the SSD meme.

First, there's this neat little website called pcpartpicker.com that let's you mix and match parts according to your budget. So you can get whatever you want! It also shows you if your selected parts are compatible or not, so you know if you're making a mistake. Once you've got everything in the build, use the url above and post it here!


Until then, don't ask us for help, faggot.

should i replace the fan on my 212 evo or get a new cooker all together? the fans getting loud as hell

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GBz3TH

I posted yesterday already and made some changes. The PSU is from my old PC.
Are the HDD and SSD a good choice?
I looked at Radeon GPUs and they were really expensive. Is there a comparable Nvidia card or a well priced upgrade that would be worth it?
For RAM I don't think I need 16GB. Is there a better choice for 8GB?
My budget is basically at its limit.

>>62008426
Do you need the H7? Won't stock do just fine? You could use the money you save to buy faster RAM. Make sure it is on the QVL.

>>62008400

UPS brokerage fees only applies if you buy things outside of Canada, so you shouldn't have to worry about getting your ass reamed by it.

>>62008451
Fans get loud for a reason. The fans one the evo are clip on. Unclip them and then clean them and see if they are quieter.

>>62008462
Get the 1060 6GB or just downgrade to the 1050 ti. Getting a 1060 3GB one will just bottleneck your card.

>>62008470
i tried it before, also with the 212 is the bracket transferable to a new fan or is it riveted on?

>>62008451
Slap a Noctua fan on that heat sink and witness the magic

>>62008495
Transferable. In fact if you will have the stuff the 212 came with, it should have another fan bracket in there because the 212 has the option to mount 2 fans (one back and one front).

>>62008481
What is bottlenecking?

>>62008481
Thanks for your advice but a 6GB would be around 80 Euro more. How much worse does the 1050 ti perform?

>>62008590
Thanks alot, i know this probably is unusual but can you answer this for me please?
Also do you think this will get bottlenecked? >>62007703

>>62008656
What games do you play?
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/73737-nvidia-gtx-1060-3gb-review-4.html

Anyway here is a good site that has benchmarks for the 1060 3GB and one of the cards they compare it to is 1050ti. So look for the games you normally play and compare.

Why do the Ryzen lines have so little PCIE express lanes?
I was thinking of getting the 1600x but it only has 16. I looked at the 1700x and saw 24. I plan to get a 1080ti along with other PCIE cards like a wireless/bluetooth card but with the 1600x i couldn't use the 1080ti to it's full potential.
Should i go with the 1700x or 7700K?
Mainly gonna be used for gaming but i plan on streaming and doing video editing later on

Waiting™
No seriously, GPUs are retarded right now and RAM prices are vastly inflated. So the plan is build what I can right now and upgrade it to my perfect rig in a second pass.

>>62007703
No. It won't. As for the GPU, go look up some benchmarks. They are easily found online.

>>62008443
i do plan to overclock
what is QVL? (First time builder here)
im looking at mid towers now

>>62008731
QVL = Qualified Vendor List. It should be found under support on your motherboard webpage. Ryzen is iffy in RAM selection so some models might not perform as well. It is written in the OP.

>>62008731
"Qualified Vendor List"
basically, it's a list of RAM that AMD guarantees will work with Ryzen because they tested it
This has mostly been a formality with previous processors and architectures (both AMD and Intel), but Ryzen is very particular about what kinds or RAM it works well with for......reasons
It's gotten better since launch with BIOS updates, but you're still best sticking to something on the list

>>62008802
>Ryzen is very particular about what kinds or RAM it works well with for......reasons
Because of infinity fabric which is RAM dependent.

>>62008802
>AMD GURANTEESE

there are instances it does not work I have seen

>>62008749
>>62008802
>>62008826
>>62008838
My ram is compatible

>>62008838
If it is on the QVL, it will work.

>>62008724
Alright thanks alot

So what's the plan? Please don't laugh at or mock me, I genuinely want to learn more about computers and how to build stuff. To be honest, I don't care about running the latest games on Super Maximum Ultra Supreme GX Turbo Plus™ levels of graphics, I just want an upgrade to help me run the games I play a little better, and also something that'll ensure I can play Fortnite decently. I'm okay with medium settings, sometimes medium low depending on the game as long as I can get a decent framerate. 60FPS is ideal but I'm okay with 30, I've been playing on toasters for most of my life so I have low standards. At any rate, could you give me the information I need or at the very least steer me in the right direction so I can get what I need?

>>62008942
Download speecy. Screenshot it and post it.

>>62007900
Thanks for the advice!

>>62008942
If you wanted to learn you would have read the OP.

There's a lengthy wiki article covering the selection of parts and then combining them for the final product.
There's also a website where you can mix and match parts until you bang something together and it catches most incompatibility issues.

When you do all that you can post the part list you came up with here and receive feedback.

>>62008868
not always at its advertised speeds. There are post about it

>>62008981
It will work at the speed listed on the QVL otherwise that is just on the mobo manufacturer to fix.

>>62008981
I got 3000MHz sticks not explicitly on the QVL (2x4GB, QVL only listed higher capacities).

Works on my machine, after a BIOS update.

Hi guys, I'm going to be building a new pc in September, mainly using it for programming, Plex server and gaming (PUBG and CS:GO) I have 3 monitors and for csgo I use a 144hz monitor. All 1080p. I'm in the UK and here's my list. Any thing I should change? https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/zkZmsJ

Anything marked as purchased is carried over from my current build (fx8320 hd7950 hyper 212 evo)

>>62008953
Am I gonna get bullied?

>>62008971
I'll get on it right away. But the thing is, could I keep my APU and install a GPU to take the GPU load off of my APU? Or will I have to buy a new CPU and GPU entirely (or simply a new APU)

>>62009033
>70C
wew

have you considered cleaning it out?

>>62008714
The money you'll be spending to upgrade everything will be far more than just paying the current inflated prices

>>62009033
>70 degrees
tell me that's not at idle

>>62009033
Can you afford a new build?
Otherwise the best you can do is throw in a GPU and hope it works.

>>62009054
It is clearly at load. See the green bar next to it. Speecy shows usage as well

About to commit and order right now.

Something I'm overlooking?

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/fJGQJV

Is it normal to not hit 3200 mhz OC on memory for Ryzen? My memory is 3200

>>62009070
the green bars on the summary page track up and down with temperature, not the usage

Could someone with a windows 10 pro keygen generate some keys for me please? I can't afford a $200 OS right now.

My cpu doesnt come with a cooler
I'm buying my case and GPU off of Amazon

>>62009043
>>62009054
Haven't cleaned it out in a while but It's a prebuilt meme computer that didn't cost much and apparently came overclocked. It seems to always be at that temperature, even when I'm not playing any games. Oddly enough the temperature goes down when I'm not connected to the internet (I use a wireless adapter because I don't wanna deal with wires stretching all over the house to my room, when I remove the thing my pc gets cooler)

>>62009059
Well, how much would it cost? I'm probably gonna get Fortnite and see if it's playable, if not I'll invest in new parts.

>>62009118
no, and also never

install gentoo

i5 4460 + r9 270 gigabyte 2gb

what gpu would i buy to play pubg at higher settings, im thinking 1060 3gb or rx480? or something else? when is the mining craze gonna die and how much are prices expected to drop? i only play dota2 and pubg

1080p@60Hz

>>62009094
are you carrying your vidya over from your current/previous build?
Ryzen doesn't have integrated graphics

also
>ASRock

>>62009122
A decent build now would cost you 1k USD if you are in the USD provided you already own a monitor and such.

>>62009126
falling for the Gentoo meme

>>62009136
>Not ass rock
Also all boards fail, I've seen gigabytes fucking up.

>>62009127
Look up benchmarks but PUBG is such a garbage unoptimized game I won't know.
