CPUs:
No i5's unless cheap. Consider waiting for Coffee Lake (1 month). 8700K is certain to be the fastest gaming CPU, will be competitive in productivity tasks vs 8-core Ryzen.

General:
LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS
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

Honestly probably not. Unless you're super into Counter Strike or something like that it isn't that big a deal. You ask will you 'miss' it? Do you mean you've already got a 144Hz monitor? If so just set a custom resolution of 100Hz and find out.

t. own a 144Hz and 110Hz monitor, don't find there to be much of a difference worth losing sleep over

I want to build a gaming PC that can play most games at high-ultra specs. My favorite games are Civilization type games and big open world ones like Skyrim. I want to play the new Star Wars Battlefront 2, the new Total War War-hammer coming out and the 2016 Doom game. I also want it to be able to run smoothly with a lot of Mods.

I also want it to run fast while doing general stuff like surfing the web, photo editing and downloading torrent files while running games at the same time.

I want to have duel screens as well. Maybe not included in the budget if that can make the PC better. If it's possible to have a build that doesn't have to have parts upgraded for a long time that would be nice.

Does any one have any suggestions?

This isn't really much of a multi-threaded scenario tbqh.

I'd wait for 8700K in that case.

Bet you a hundred bucks that no CPU that comes out in 2019 will work on a motherboard that's compatible with the 8700k.
>>
>>62031112
You're dumb if you think the 8700K isn't going to last, it's a Sandy Bridge-tier jump in performance, we're not going to get anything better for a good while.

Someone who is planning to keep their CPU for a 'long time' doesn't care that Intel changes their sockets and chipsets every other week.

Not. Even. Fucking. Close. The only real difference is two extra cores on i3/i5/i7.

>Someone who is planning to keep their CPU for a 'long time' doesn't care that Intel changes their sockets and chipsets every other week.
He didn't say that he wants to keep his CPU for a long time, he said he wants to be able to upgrade for a long time. Intel does not offer that, AMD does.

And if he DID want to keep the CPU for a long time, 1700 would still be better.

I built this bad boy back in 2011 (only changed the GPU) but I fear it might die one day or another, so I was considering getting, or at least taking a look at the possible new mobo, CPU and RAM I could get if that happens.

I'm currently using a Thinkpad X230 as a desktop because the battery is so shitty so I might as well replace it with a desktop. I already have the GPU and PSU because I'm running an eGPU setup on the Thinkpad and I'm going to reuse the SSD I put in it.

I'm on a pretty tight budget though so I'm mainly wondering what CPU and RAM I should get. Right now I'm mostly concered with just getting better performance than what I have on my Thinkpad, so is there any point in getting the 1400 over the 1200 if you're going to overclock anyways? Or should I just get this and upgrade it later?

https://www.caseking.de/en/amd-athlon-x4-950-3-5-ghz-bristol-ridge-sockel-am4-boxed-hpam-139.html

And what RAM speeds should I be looking at? I want at least 16GB and I'm thinking about just getting 8GB now and 8GB later but I can't find any 1x8GB RAM at 2888 or 3000Mhz speeds. Will I really notice any difference in performance if I get something like 2400Mhz RAM now?

So the primary purpose is a workstation for myself, mainly dealing with DAWS and photo manipulation programs. However im also thinking of having a home server where ill probably be running a vm for other users (2 others, 3 including me) so that they dont have to have a computer there and only a monitor. Is such a think possible? apart from that im thinking of also having a file server run off it for everyone connected to my network. Also if latency isnt an issue ill probably keep it else away from my office and have it run remotely. Apart from that it will always be running an android emulator that any user can bring up (because i need certain things that are only available on android to be accessable to everyone, maybe if possible make it so when someone connects to my net theyre taken to a page hosted locally that allows them to see the android emulator and use it.)

>>62032525
why do you have it?

>>62032184
Anyone? Is the 1400 worth getting over the 1200 for productivity use if you're going to overclock anyways? And is 2400Mhz RAM worth getting on Ryzen?

>>62032570
Yes it's a good cooler. The days of the past where high performance cpus came with tiny propellers that idle them at 100c are over.
>>
>>62032570
Ryzen doesn't really run very hot. The stock cooler isn't great, but it's sufficient even if you plan to OC.

>>62032570

and yes faster ram is better. if you really can't find it (which is hard to believe) 2400 will do, but faster is better with ryzen.
>>
>>62032654
I can't find RAM faster than 2400Mhz when buying 1x8GB, only when buying 2x8. I want 16GB RAM but I'm planning on buying 8GB first and add 8 more later to save some cash.

Eh... RAM prices are pretty high right now. So they'll probably come down sometime soon-ish. Probably.

>>62032680
Doesn't the motherboard you've chosen have 4 RAM slots? 2x4GB and then a second identical set should work fine, assuming 16GB will be enough for the foreseeable future.

>>62032837
Man I miss when RAM was dirt cheap, I remember buying 64 fucking GB of RAM in 2011 because 'why not?' it was like a hundred bucks more expensive than getting 16.

I think they have come down a little bit already
at least I see 3200mhz ripjaws go for a pretty good price

>>62032837
>So they'll probably come down sometime soon-ish. Probably.
Wouldn't count on it
>>
>>62032803
Oh yeah, that seems like the best choice. Is there any difference between that and the 1200 aside from clock speed and automatic overclocking?

I've had a chonshit IPS screen for a few years and it's pretty good but don't expect the best quality picture. Like, backlight bleed will be slightly worse than normal, there will be dead pixels even if they promise you there won't, and on my screen very light colors (almost white) are always yellow even if they're meant to be blue or something. All aren't super noticeable but they are certainly there. And honestly I think the value proposition has been quickly diminishing lately with the emergence of affordable IPS from decent brands. Overclocking is pretty cool though.

>>62033337
Because 4c/4t is trash and you'll get shitty minimum FPS. Even gaming isn't all about single-threaded performance anymore. Meanwhile, the r5 1600 is within 10% of 7700k in pretty much all benchmarks despite significantly lower clocks.
>>
>>62033337
You have it the wrong way around. Ryzen kills intel and rapes its corpse in the real world. Intel can do only one specific thing well. If you want your FPS to reach a higher number at spastic intervals then you have to buy an i7 7700k, crack it open like a lobster and wipe the shit off of the inside, apply a higher quality of shit and stick the lid back on, then buy a large cooler and overclock it to 5ghz. If you're not comfortable with that then get either a r5 1600 or r7 1700, both of which cost less than the i7 before you even do all of that other shit, and settle for like 120fps instead of 140, and only in games that specifically manage to run that high on your GPU in the first place.

I know this is a really easy install for almost everyone here, but I finally swapped out my graphics card without blowing anything up after a month of letting it sit in my closet. Felt certain I was going to break the PCI-E slot, but the clip was really easy to detach once I found it. I really need to get over the feeling that every component is made out of brittle glass.

>>62035066
If you just want the stock speeds of the 1600X, the 1600 should easily be able to overclock to match it

If you want to push for maximum overclocking, you'll probably want the 1600X instead for the possible extra headroom, and you'll need a better cooler anyhow
>>
>>62035066
Get the 1600x only if you absolutely want 4ghz+ frequencies.

>>62035088
It's a neurotic level of quality. If it breaks we will all be very impressed.

ATTN: Fellow 144hz fags

I firmly believe that it's vital to get the fastest ddr4 you can afford on Intel platforms for 144hz. If you really want 144hz it's almost always obtained by overpowering the engine with your GPU and pushing it back to your CPU. A CPU bottleneck is usually a drawcall bottleneck and memory frequency seriously impacts this.

Pic related is on Skylake and is my own data and like I said it's not perfect. This link is skylake-x and shows what I'm talking about very well:
https://imgur.com/a/XU6na#wnroaYm

Once the 8700k is launched and back in the OP for 144hz builds(I think the 7700k should still be there) I would like to see a blurb on RAM speed as well. If you seriously want to push as many games as close to 144hz on 1080p or 1440p(we really need next gen gpu for this) then you want the best ram you can afford.
>>
>>62035216
Most reviews are probably from within the first month or so, I doubt most people update their reviews later on. And sure, maybe I just got a bad batch and usually they work fine, but it's not going to make me recommend Rosewill any time soon. It's just bias.
>>
>>62035291
>Most reviews are probably from within the first month or so
Most good reviews include taking the unit apart to see if there's anything that might cause it to blow up.
>>
>>62035360
Wait, what reviews are we talking about now? Because I doubt your average user on Amazon/Newegg tests their tech beyond plugging it in and checking it works.

Looking to pick up a new 1080p 144hz monitor and can't decide if G-Sync is worth the absurd premium. Down to three choices -

ViewSonic XG2401 at $260
PG248q Refurbished at $300
Acer Predator XB241H at $400

It's paired with a GTX 1080, so I understand it's overkill, but I'd rather stay at 1080p due to the FPS games that I play. Is G-Sync worth it at these settings, considering I play some other AAA titles occasionally? I'm not really worried about spending the extra $140 if it's a worthwhile performance gain.
>>
>>62035662
With a 1080 at 1080p, you don't really need g sync. It only does something if you dip below 144fps, which shouldn't really happen.

if you spot a screen tear at over 120hz you are probably super human

27" might be too small to get the most benefit from it. There are some 43" options that are surprisingly cheap but still quite a lot of money. That's pretty much what you need if you want to display things at their native scale. You can get a 4K TV at that size for even less money and they even us IPS but they can have poor mainboards that cause input lag. Some are fine though. It's a gamble. If you're in the US I suggest looking up samsung 4K TVs on amazon. For some reason people in the US get a great deal on those.

I just add that this build I said costs around 860-930 $ and I want to spend max around 1100-1200$

It's pretty damn solid really. I think I even played crysis on it (just barely). Was great for source engine games. I overclocked it out of frustration with oblivion performance and got yellow dots all over the screen.

To avoid excessive dust build-up with a single rear fan set it up for negative pressure, i.e. having it as an "exhaust". Honestly though, you should be aiming for two fans minimum, front intake and rear exhaust.

For PSU, 80+ bronze(or better), probably EVGA or Seasonic, around 500W range. Case is up to preference, mostly. You should also consider getting 16GB of RAM, 8GB is just barely sufficient.

Like I said, 80+ bronze or better. Also, getting a Corsair PSU is generally speaking not a great idea unless you find one on sale. They tend to be rather bad value.

(UK, 1000GBP, 1080 60hz (might go to 144))

I want to jump to the new AM4 socket but I'm obviously going to have to shed a lot along the way.

pic is the 'important' stuff on my current build. I want to drop the current case and go for a less edgy one that still lets me use a 280mm radiator effectively.

What can I hold onto and what kind of build should I look for?
>>
>Kingwin
>>
>>62030945

what is this stupid QVL bullshit

and why does this general not state that unless you're fucking overclocking just buy the cheapest part for what you need on pcpartpicker

except for PSU, which you make sure its atleast a bronze and its most likely going to be one of the EVGA's under $50

and to also point out that the wattage it shows is never going to be reached, Jayz2cents did a video with his autistic overclocked build with 12 fans and the total wattage when he ran both a GPU focused and CPU focused benchmark at the same time was barely over 300 watts

round down to the nearest hundreth or whatever the lowest wattage pcpartpicker shows with compatability and choose from that

I figured it would be like that.

Seems like all of the Ryzen CPUs are a signifcant upgrade over my current one so I chose the 1600x.

I don't know much about Mobos so I dunno what to look for beyond rear ports.

I've been told DDR4 is a necesscity for ryzen however, it's another case of me having no idea what to choose.
>>
>>62038113
I don't know a lot about mobos either but a lot of people here meme asrock as being bad, so avoid that if you take /g/ memes seriously. As for RAM, Ryzen scales really well with higher clock speed RAM so get the highest you can afford.

Go for the 1600. It's basically the same chip as the 1600x but cheaper and it comes with a pretty good stock cooler.

As for RAM, the higher the speed the better. 3200mhz is generally within the realm of reasonable as far as price is concerned. Otherwise 3000mhz should be fine aswell.

The only difference is that I'll be using the B350 Strix board instead since there's a Combo Deal in Newegg and it is only a few dollars more than the Prime (but the Strix board is "out of stock" and they are basically forcing the combo on you), I am also curious to know why Corsair PSUs are considered to be memes

>>62038293

If budget is a concern just get a decent B350 board, DDR4 ram and a Ryzen 3 1200 and upgrade later, staying in a soon to be EOL platform means you will have to move on later anyway

explain to me the fucking issue with picking your fucking mobo and then choosing the fucking cheapest ram for the gig size you want is going to fucking not work

theres only 3-4 fucking ram makers, and they're all quality

this isnt the early 2000's when you had to worry about shitty caps blowing up or shitty memory

its simple, if you're not a gamer or an autist, buy a 4560, the cheapest mobo with on board HDMI or displayport, the cheapest 8 or 16 gig ram, the cheapest SSD at the size they want, cheapest EVGA bronze PSU and the cheapest case done

if you're a gamer and not an OC autist

you buy a i5-7600k the cheapest mobo, cheapest ram, cheapest 7200rpm HDD if they need alot of storage, or a decent sized ssd cheapest at the storage they need, cheapest EVGA PSU and cheapest case that fits what ever GPU you need based on the games you're gonna play


theres literally no fucking general needed, you have logical incriments and pcpartpicker, thats all you need

just make a fucking sticky pointing to those sites and leave this shit out

people who want to fucking overpay for bullshit parts can do so rather than asking for our input as you push this bullshit narrative of "only buy ryzen b-because you may need to decryped and transcode at the same time as you game AND U WOULDNT WANNA BE WITHOUT THOSE THREADS!!!"

the 7600k and 7700k are still faster than all the ryzen bullshit

and the 1200 has no on board graphics and you wont find a NEW boxed GPU that can display 4k at 60fps which the 510/530/610/630 graphics on intel CPUs can for just 50 dollars

My 3570k is still going strong too, though I do think I need to clean out my case a little because airflow is basically blocked by a giant carpet of dust behind my front panel.

>>62030945
Alright so I'm a first timer, and I want to keep it under $1k unless you can convince me I will be severely disappointed. I play Overwatch and league type games, and I'm a CS major (although I assume thats not relevant). Mostly just want something that will last a long time and won't be heavily outdated anytime soon. The modest gaming build on pcpartpicker seems good to me, but I want some confirmation that it is sufficient. I know this is probably a bit off topic but also I would like to know your suggestions for similarly cost effective peripherals.

>>62038842
I got this whole set up for free, MASSIVE up grade from my last one which was an atrocity to man, this processor is a monster for what it is!

bierz Gladiusa M35W. O wiele lepiej jakosciowy od jakiekolwiek zalmana.
zasilacz zmień na Corsair TX550M, tez jakosciowo o wiele lepszy, seria CX nie jest dla zestawow gejmningowych.
co do RAMu to szanse sa, ze ci nie odpali na 3000MHz. moze przyszle aktualizacje AGESA to naprawia, ale jesli nie chcesz sie meczyc to wybierasz z listy przetestowanych modeli na twojej plycie glownej (QVL), tyle ze wtedy zaplacisz z 100zl wiecej.

>>62039387
it costs less because it's slower (2800mhz vs 3000mhz). also the cheapest 2x4gb 3000mhz is only 6$ more than 1x8gb in the modest build. i picked specifically Patriot (PV48G300C6K) because it's already on motherboard's QVL, therefore it's guaranteed to work at full speed.

>>62039524
at least 1060 3gb isn't fucking overpriced. it still performs better than 1050ti (about on par with gtx 970) and 3gb of vram isn't a huge problem on 1080p anyway.
you could also get 1050ti and ryzen 5 1600 (comes out $610), but it still would get less fps than a build with 1060 3gb.

I have a computer running plex media server, I've noticed that, when in use (multiple users transcoding remotely) CPU usage spikes (97% for a second, every 2 - 5 seconds) - which I understand to be normal, given the way transcoding works on it.

It works reasonably well, but when I use it (as the server is in my lounge, hooked up to the tv) to watch something high bitrate, cpu stays maxed and slightly stutters video.

I am using the on board graphics card on my motherboard for the TV, and I'm wondering if the best component to upgrade would be adding a Gpu, to take strain off the CPU, or just a better CPU.

I realize that both would be Ideal, but this is it's primary purpose and I'd rather not waste any more money than I have to.

Cheers for responses in advance.
