there are some issues with purple trailing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoqGHAK-U3U), apparently it's been fixed in newer revisions and it's not a problem if you buy it now.

Intel is cheaper and still dominates unless all you do is compress/decompress shit in 7zip and run cinebenches.

>>62315447
It seems like the 24 inch the best choice at my budget and the only monitor which isn't specialized in something

I have a laptop with a 500gb WD HDD (5400 rpm), not a lot of money, and I would like to upgrade it to at leats 1 tb. What would be the best choice for me? An SSHD with 5400 rpm for the HDD part or a simple 7200 rpm HHD? Apparently a 7200 rpm SSHD do not exist for laptops (2.5"). I have a double booting machine (Windows 8.1 + Ubuntu 16.04) and I use it mainly for gayming and programs like ArchiCad, Cinema 4D and Artlantis (and internet and shit, of course).

I'm having a go with a Mini ITX budget gaming build for mobility sakes, with potential to upgrade. I think my 120GB boot SSD and the DVD R/W (hence the 130 instead of 110 coolermaster case) from a previous build is salvagable, but the PSU was non-modular, so a bad idea.

not bad depending on your chip's max. Try bumping the soc voltage and seeing if that wont get you closer to 3.9-4.0. Dont go past 1.22-1.25 though, also make sure to use offset and not fixed values, that causes issues on almost all current agesa bios updates

I suppose there is barely any space left on that 120 GB SSD after the essentials. If I swapped the 1 TB HDD for a 240 GB SSD, what should I look for? there are so many models in the £70-80 price range.

What's the estimated difference in performance between Haswell and Kaby Lake series?
Something like +5% IPC per generation maybe?

Okay, I'm not going to bullshit you guys. I'm a total beginner with almost no idea what I'm doing who's apprehensive enough about building his own computer and screwing something up that he's considering just saying fuck it and buying something pre-built.

My budget is roughly £4,000 or $5,276

My goal is to just finally be able to play all those newer games I've been buying on Steam during the sales, knowing that my current computer couldn't handle them but telling myself that someday I'll have a computer that can. I don't do much in the way of video editing, if that makes much difference.

If any of you feel like helping, I've picked some components similar to those that are used by people into the same types of games as me.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/gDtnzM

The only part that I'm not willing to change is the monitor, as I already have that. I'd also prefer to stick to that case if possible. For the CPU I just picked something with a few good reviews and that sounded good to me. Like I said, I've never really looked into this kind of stuff before and don't have much of an idea what I'm doing.

Probably 32GB of RAM is more than required, but I'd like if this build was a least somewhat future proof for the next couple of years.

>>62316812
>>62316824
People seem to like the 850 Evo. WD blue I have heard good things about because of low price.
>>62316832
If you are going to get that high speed memory you need to check QVL on the motherboard. Also, a Ryzen 7 1700x is more than enough for just games so I would reccomend that. What's the point of 2 SSDs? Dpn't get OEM windows and opt for a full version because OEM is one use only. I reccomend considering a motherboard with wifi and not a cheap adapter.

And at that price range you might as well get 2 1080tis and an SLI bridge. And 32GB of RAM is unnecessary; 16 is enough if you only plan on gaming.
Basically, spend money on things that matter.

Is a 144Hz monitor worth it if I only have a 1060 6gb?

If you aren't trolling then seriously re-evaluate what the fuck you're doing with your money.

>>62316948
Even if the i5s yield a few more fps right now, it's often coming at the expense of running near full load across those 4 cores. It's just a shitty purchase for the money right now. The upgrade path being dead seals the deal.

>>62316975

No, if you do not.

What's Ryzen's equivalent to i7?

>>62316832
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/rBsLGf

32gb is too much for games. Only way you're getting close to needing more than 16 is when you exceed the vram on your gpu but that's not gonna happen with 1080 Ti.

Case was too expensive.

No need for M.2 when you have 1tb ssd.

Get Windows for free from Microsoft ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 ) and then buy the key from kinguin or something. If you don't activate you only lose access to changing themes and get a watermark.

>>62317034

Don't worry, once he actually bought the whole thing he can have his buyers remorse afterwards just like that guy who blew $5000 CAD on a top of the line rig

>Also, a Ryzen 7 1700x is more than enough for just games so I would reccomend that.

>What's the point of 2 SSDs?
My thinking was purely that perhaps keeping the OS installed completely separately from whatever else I chose to stick on there would be a good idea. I think one company was selling it as an option while I was looking into the pre-built route and I just took their word for it that it was a good idea.
>Dpn't get OEM windows and opt for a full version because OEM is one use only.
Honestly I only picked that because I wanted to have a placeholder item in that section. Thanks though.
>I reccomend considering a motherboard with wifi and not a cheap adapter.
I'm actually planning on having the thing use a wired connection. The adapter was just an afterthought, a kind of "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it" kind of deal.

Also, I've watched a fair few tutorials on how to assemble a PC now, but generally speaking they only show the end result if everything goes right and not how to fix it if stuff goes wrong. How hard is it to actually fuck up seriously? Installing the RAM, GPU and CPU seems no more complicated than assembling Lego, but it's more the cable management and initial boot up that worries me.

I know I'm being paranoid, but it's a lot of money to waste if I end up breaking something because I tightened a screw too much or knocked something accidentally and bent some pins.

Yes, I have read the wiki.

This is good, but get him a board with wifi like the x370 taichi, probably another video card, and also throw in a full version of 10 instead of OEM on Kinguin. Also a hard drive.
>>62317164
Read the post I quoted and the above of this post for a good idea of what to get. Installing things is really easy, maybe watch a tutorial. Cable management is not an issue so long as you consider it not to look ugly. You should know in your heart if it is a problem. Accidents can happen but really a small mistake doesn't mean much. Screws shouldn't matter that much so long as you aren't putting all the force you can get into them, CPU pins are important not to bend but it's easy not to.

Cobbling together some hand me down parts so I don't have the manual for this board, what goes here? My psu doesn't have a connector for that

Just looked at some videos is 1050ti really better than r9 380? I was thinking about selling my 380 to my friend since he really needs some gpu cheap, but now I will just feel bad scamming him if he can just buy 1050ti brand new.

Just to clarify, £4000 is my top budget. If I can get away with spending less then great, but all I'm saying is that if I must part with that much then I'm willing to do so.

>>62317034
>If you aren't trolling then seriously re-evaluate what the fuck you're doing with your money.
Not trolling, just never looked into this kind of thing before. As I mentioned, none of the parts I picked except the monitor are what I'll necessarily go for in the end. I just picked something that seemed reasonable in each category that had decent reviews and that were apparently compatible with one another.

>full tower
It's the highest rated case on the site.

I liked the idea of something large and roomy with easy access from both sides, as I have large hands. Like I said, I've never build a PC before and I'm trying to give myself as much margin for error as possible. I get frustrated with fiddly things and hoped more room to work with would mitigate this.

>X99

I heard from a guy on here that they were becoming obsolete as SSDs were becoming more reliable and capable of greater storage capacity.

Yeah, I agree with this. I just picked it because I thought that if I could afford more then I may as well get it. I mean I'm planning to use this eventual computer for games now, but who knows how my needs will change over time? My thinking was that if having more doesn't cause any harm, then the potential for long term benefit could be worth it.

Room is only gonna be a problem with small form factor and if you try to build the entire thing inside the case. Just put things together outside on the mobo box.

Nothing wrong with it, it is just old.

>HDD becoming obsolete
Not for a long time. It'll still take years before SSDs are affordable enough to be used as mass storage. In 2012 I paid 180e for my 120gb SSD (still works today) and now for that price I can get 500gb so it has gotten better but not enough to consider seriously.

>SLI
It's dead and buried even by Nvidia and the support for it has always been really spotty. You're always better off with one single powerful card which is something you picked.

>>62317751
Not him, but are you referring to the i7 vs R7 or i5 vs R5?
The R5s can hold better minimum frames than the i5s, but the R7s can't generally outdo an i7. Cross CCX latency takes a toll.

Should I buy a GTX 1070 over 580 8gb (both above MRSP by a good bit obviously but I can't be arsed waiting) for 100 euro more for future broofing?

>>62318079

What's the 1060 price in your area? If it's cheaper than the 580 of go with that.

>>62318079
depending on prices you might want to consider going to the 1080, it has a pretty significant lead over the 1070 in terms of performance
truth be told both are bad decisions at the current msrp. if you can save up for another little while and get the 1080ti, its a monster compared to the 1070 and will definitely remain relevant longer

>>62318109
isn't 1080 at 1080p pretty pointless? don't think I'd ever bother with 1440p anyway

>>62318143
well in that case, yeah, pretty pointless. but if it's only another 50 or so over the 1070 why not? then you'll be more future-proofed, specifically against devs that cant optimize for pc
anyone who fully believes that the 1070 will forever be good enough for 1080p is fooling themselves, yes it will be fine for many years, but in 5 years we're going to look back on it and it wont hold up to modern games, mark my words

>>62318079
Telling the future is hard, but I would advice against spending too much on a(n Nvidia) GPU for the sake of futureproofing. Just look at how the 7970/280x compared to 780 at release, and how they compare in games released after Maxwell became popular. Polaris might age well. Pascal might age terribly. Or it could go the other way around.

It's unlikely that anyone that destitute will be able to afford a GPU that will sufficiently bottleneck a G4560 unless it's a DX12 game. I mean, these are people that can't even afford an r5 1600. Better to have the single threaded performance if you're just gaymen than a 28nm shitpile AM4 CPU just so you can say you can upgrade later.

A 7700 would be a realistic upgrade.

>1080ti

A long time if this is your only expectation. The 1080ti is pretty overkill for your monitor, but that could essentially mean you could max out settings at that resolution for years.

Have you actually seen this monitor in real life though? It's pretty small for an ultrawide, I recommend bumping up to 29" for 2560x1080

no such thing

>>62319998
Well, the ps4(not pro) has GPU that's about 270x equivalent and a shitty CPU, so yes.

Note that I'm talking about raw power, in actual gaming use anything running on PS4 will be optimized for that specific hardware, so it won't necessarily run games any better.

QUICK QUESTION!

Ryzen threadripper vs Ryzen 7 for streaming/video encoding. Building a new rig, which do i buy?

Is reddit right in saying that it might be worth it to have a threadripper on the off chance that 4k streaming might be around the corner? Or is the massive price difference worth the performance?

What say you /g/eniuses?

>>62320658

It was okay for it's time, but 1080p monitors are really cheap nowdays. You can basically get any 1080p ips monitor these days and they'll all perform the same. I recommend just getting the one that looks best like a slim bezel version.

>>62320714

I'd just the R7, if you actually needed the Threadripper you would know.

What's everyone's thoughts on curved monitors? Do you notice a difference? Do you feel more immersed?

>>62320714

Unless it's all you do all day and you get paid for it, go R7.

Dual channel RAM doesn't matter in anything he will be doing. Get a single 8GB stick so you can theoretically go 32 down the line as your needs may change.

>>62320989
>https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vqGPCy

they all pretty much perform the same, probably evga though, for the warranty

>>62321024
Uh what?
If you're actually serious about getting a card, one 1080ti if you want to be smart, two if you want to be a badass.

>>62320936
If it's on the side, not really important to your future, I don't think the investment is worth it.
If you intend on continuing to do game streaming seriously, and do encoding all on the same machine, it may be worth it.

I'm not an expert on this subject, but I've read some setups like this entail using a separate capture box for encoding etc and don't put all the workload on the same machine.

>For professional streamers who absolutely must hold both tight frame latencies and quality stream output, we’d still recommend a dedicated capture box. The low-end frametimes drop with live encoding on the system, producing variable frametimes (0.1% lows, in our metrics) that can impact the experience for professionals concerned about framerate/frametimes in CSGO or DOTA2, for example. This is likely a non-issue for a lot of the more casual streamers or for people less concerned about high framerate consistency, but may matter for ultra-competitive players in an environment where money exchanges hands for shooting first. In those scenarios, a stream box fixes the latency challenge.

I have amd 8350 and gtx 1060. i use a 1080p screen and play a lot of games. thinking of upgrading the cpu to a ryzen or switching to intel. but both require a new motherboard and ram which drives up the price.

my question is;

will there be a significant improvement on performence if i switch to a newer cpu (i5-7600k for example)

>>62320878
>>62320939
Thanks for the input changed some things around
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4C34zM

>>62321180

Definitely noticeable

Get the R5 1600 with a b350 board so you can overclock. The only intel cpu worth a shit is the 7700k, but it's ~$100 more than the R5 1600, but intel makes you swap out your motherboard every generation while the AM4 socket will be supported for a few years.

>>62321044
So how's this?
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xP28Gf

>>62321310
And don't forget an SLI bridge. EVGA makes a really nice looking one I think.

As far as this fantasy build goes, what does the motherboard's QVL say about the RAM? Also, the CPU cooler clould probably be better and you could downgrade the PSU.

>>62321240
Thanks for the input. They are about the same price in my country for some reason, probably taxes or something (Mobo+CPU+RAM costs about 1,5 minimum monthly wage). So i might actually get a 7700k since I don't upgrade very often, once in 5-6 years.

Too expensive. Regular S340 works great, however.

I really dont see the purpose of an i7 for my needs.

>>62321842

$120 is a steal for a 4690k. I'd prob pay like $150 at most.

Am I missing out on something but what's the point in buying a PC new if you have less than like $800 to spend on it to get a 1600 when you can get something like this and put a 1070 in it for the same price? Only problem is limited upgradability but you can just sell it or turn it into a file server or something when you're going to upgrade.

>>62321842
you can get 3570ks and 2500ks for like 50 bucks a pop and they're only marginally slower than the 4690k. 10% at max, but they oc like a monster so you can make that performance back up. i have a 4690k and i regret it knowing that i probably could have bought a used 3570k back then for half the price and with minuscule performance difference on average.

If you want to go even lower than that then there's loads of machines with i5 3570's being sold around $150-200

>>62321989
is your mobo z97? if so then ok the 4690k is probably your better option. however if you don't have a z97 mobo then you won't be able to OC that 4690k/4670k and it will cost an arm and a leg to get a used one since the prices for them are all fucked up for some reason. you can get a used z77/z68 mobo + 3570k/2500k for probably the same price as the 4690k alone.

>>62321994

You're paying that for a 5 year old CPU that wasn't that good back then.

>>62321994
Get a 1700 if you are going to OC yourself.
Your HD is slow. Get a 7200 RPM so you don't go crazy. Also, get an SSD if you don't have.
You don't need 750W. Get a lower wattage PSU.

I've heard about the 'two pc' situation with streaming, but I have no idea how I would set something like that up. I've always just used a single pc that pulled the whole load, and honestly with my old girl... she barely could handle it.

Do you have any idea how beefy of a pc I would need for a dedicated capture box? Would something like this be enough?

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 5600+ 2.8ghz

RAM: 8gb

Video card: Nvidia Geforce 550Ti


It's a spare that i have as my main pc will probably be going to a family member when i buy my new one.

Not planning to OC at the moment.
Might use for some video editing on the future and some music production. I know a 1700x is overkill but i think i might not have the chance to update to a new computer on a few years.
My current build is pic related, also, this build has a thermaltake TR2 750W.

Shit guys, if you're seeing super high gpu temps replace that stock thermal paste. My EVGA 1080 SC is only 3 months old and went from running ~70c at load when I got it to over 80. I'm not sure if the thermal paste they're using has shitty quality control or what, but I decided to put some of pic related on before RMA'ing it and I'm now maxing out at 64C running Furmark. It also made a solid difference with my 7700k

>Probably some cheap chink shit housefire
>In a workstation that went for like $3000 new
You do know that you can just Google the product and look at the spec sheet yourself, right? They come with either a 600W or 400W gold rated PSU. OS costs a grand total of $0 dollars if you know what an ISO file is. It's better that you provide the SSD yourself and not get a used one, and HDD storage is cheap.

There are hundreds of listings of similar workstations on Ebay, if only having 8GB RAM and no HDD trigger your autism then get this with 64GB RAM and 4TB storage.

I know nothing about such a setup. Sorry.

>>62322201
If you get the 1700x I would reccomend buying a better graphics card as soon as you have the spare cash. Also just get a more powerful cooler or buy the 1700 and use the stock one. 212 evo isn't worth it for you.

>>62322230
If your cooler is all copper or nickel-plated you can use liquid metal on the GPU die. I've done that for my 1080 ti and it reduced temps by over 15C at load.

>>62322236
If the seller isn't providing necessary information then it is not my job to search and provide it. Retail price when it was new doesn't matter in the slightest.

>>62322230
I like that EVGA won't void your warranty for replacing it. Miles ahead of some other companies.

>>62322458
Ya I know their 10 series cards had the thermal pad issues, but they really have the best customer service in the biz

>>62322230
>>62322497
Also, I would like to point out that companies have to consider more than performance for thermal paste. Shelf life, costs, and other things need to be considered along with performance.
EVGA did it right by not caring what you use so long as you don't break it.

>>62322458
>break evga gtx 980

nice company

>>62322570
How did it break?

>>62322594
bought a 980 used. couldn't hold factory oc without black screening. found out it was still in warranty. rma'd it and got a 1070 back

Anyone know if mac RAM sticks like pic related will work on a gigabyte MOBO?

>>62322776

Those look like ECC ram, so most consumer boards don't support it

>>62322852

So macs use ECC RAM?

>>62322921
Their "workstation" systems do despite being slow and shitty

What kind of 1080ti Should I buy?
I was recommended the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Aorus Xtreme Edition, but I'm not exactly sure.

>newegg advertising gpus back in stock
>all $100+ mark ups.

>>62322852
If it's an AMD board it most likely will since most AMD cpu's with an IMC support ECC

>tfw all my parts for my very first build ever are here and I can't stop shaking out of fear of breaking something
The wiki wasn't lying, this is a nervewracking experience.

>>62323049
whats your exact question here ?

m.2 is for form factor of the drive
But just because it is M.2 doesn't mean it is fast, the WD blue drive is will still connect at SATA speeds.

Having a NVME drive myself, I can tell you that 99% of the time you won't notice any difference between some very fast NVME drive and some Sata based one.

What you should be getting is the largest sata drive for your budget, because 250GB is not a lot.

>>62323049
If this is for a boot drive then it doesn't matter. The NVMe drive is better but you won't notice it for anything besides a highly I/O bound workload

Is it worth getting the protection plan from newegg if I'm buying an $800 graphics card?

The 580 will do it's job, but yeah, we'll see.
>a more powerful cooler
Like the deepcool gammax 400, or the be quiet! pure rock?. The noctua might be nice, but is a little expensive, or at least here they sell it like for 170 usd. Hell, even the 212 is 58 usd.

>>62323210
Well done

>>62323135
>will i get anything out of it?
A PC.

>>62323237
At those cooler prices, buy the 1700 and use stock.

Is a Noctua NHU-12S decent enough cooling for a Ryzen 1600X and EVGA 1070?

I've been upgrading my pc ever since I built a mid-range one a year and a half ago. Right now I have a 7700k and gtx 1080, but I'm still using 2133mhz DDR4 ram (16gb) with it. Considering the rest of my components, do you think this low of a performance RAM is holding things back? What kind of improvements (gaming mostly) would I see upgrading to 3000mhz+ RAM?

>>62323341
depending on a game you could get from 3 to 10 more fps. try overclocking it first, you probably could get it to 2666mhz or higher by bumping up the voltage and loosening timings.

>>62323276
will i get any knowledge out of it?

>>62323285
is hilarious because i can even buy it from outside the country, pay it + shipment + taxes and is going to be between 60 and 70 usd less expensive than the price they want to sell it here.
Thanks anyways for the data, i will have your advice on mind.

>>62322028
Its been so long since I looked into mobos I forgot that was the case. Ill probably just put it off then until the i5 3570k plus z97 is at a decent price, or just upgrade all together to skylake.

For now Ill just try OCing my cpu higher.
Ive kept my oc at 4.2 on my g3258 qith stock cooler, just tried 4.4 and 1.2v and temp hit 72C under load which is apparently Tcase.
Im sure itll throttle before it gets too hot but Id dont want that.
What kind of aftermarket coolers do I buy for overclocking.

>>62323465
>i5 3570k plus z97

these aren't compatible.

>>62323388
That's speculative, but the safest bet is learning how to assemble the machine, possibly ranging to a deeper understanding of how the components interact, maybe a newfound appreciation for the complexity that underlies so much of the simplicity that drives our lives.
Maybe a wholeness of fulfillment (Zen and the Art of Motorcycle-Maintenance style) when the machine works. I know that's how I feel.

I am looking into wireless adapters, and I want to find one that works well through a floor and a wall ideally for around $20.
Any advice?

Is there any custom cooling out for vega yet? I want to remove amds leaf blower

>>62323574
A lot of the marketing in 802.11 is snake oil.
Just make sure it has good reviews and is AC.

>>62323594
I found this. Anybody know if it's good? $15 used or $20 new.
https://www.amazon.com/Linksys-Wireless-N-Adapter-Dual-Band-WMP600N/dp/B0028N6VN2

>>62323705
And then some crazy prices, which makes me unsure.

>>62323705

Can you read?
Also, it's PCI. Your PC better be old.

>>62323742
Sorry, I am a bit disoriented after looking at tons of them.
It's so hard to determine what will work and what won't based on user reviews.

>>62323396

>>62323801
Vastly overpriced GPU. Get a 1070 if you are spending that much.
You don't need 750W. You don't even need 650W.

>>62323843
>1070 for under $300
where?
>didn't notice the freesync monitor
opinion discarded.

Looking at more adapters, there is a USB (with AC this time)

And then some, a ryzen core at 4.1 will butcher any Intel core lower clocked than 4.5ghz, meaning every damn locked Intel part.

>>62324005
Most people who build PCs do it for gaming. That said smaller numbers of people do it for general purpose computers, HTPCs, and workstations.
Most people just order prebuilts though

>GPU prices still fucked
>STILL no Vega 56 3rd party cards available

So I'm upgrading, not building from scratch, so here's what I'm thinking on doing.

My current system is really old but:
i5 3570k
gtx 670
16gb ram (2x8gb, can't remember the specifics off the top of my head)

I'm thinking my ram is ok so I'm going to upgrade my gpu for sure and likely my cpu and motherboard too. I play pubg, far cry, skyrim se, and am trying to get more into fps on pc (siege most likely), I pretty much play anything except sports and racing games. My goal is to upgrade my pc to play any current and slightly into the future games on high/ultra at 1080p. I'm hoping to not spend more than 800 dollars, hopefully more like 600-700.

I was thinking of getting the 1070 but after reading the op sounds like the 1060 is perfect for me.

I was planning on getting the i5 7600k, but since the op says no i5, and in the thread I foolishly made before posting here, someone said I don't even need to upgrade? Not sure if that's true, hoping for a cpu that matches well with the 1060 and is able to do what I'm looking for.

For the motherboard, which I don't really understand well despite having built my current pc and now upgrading, I'm just looking for one that is compatible/can handle the parts I get/have and doesn't suffer in quality/build while being affordable.

Thanks in advance for any help.

>I'm thinking my ram is ok so I'm going to upgrade my gpu for sure and likely my cpu and motherboard too.
nope. New motherboards use DDR4 ram. DDR3 ram will not physically fit in a DDR4 slot.
If you plan a CPU and motherboard upgrade, prepare to buy new ram as well
