General:
ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS!
Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later
NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor

First for my new computer didn't bring me happiness

So reposting my question for the new thread. I'll try to make it smaller.

Got some money coming my way, want to upgrade my computer. Goal is to be able to play at 1080p for the next good while at ultra. Found out I don't really need to upgrade my 3570k to do that so saved some money in a way.

This is making me consider splurging a little bit, I was going to go with the 6gb 1060 as it meets my goals fairly well, but considering I'll be saving in a way not having to buy the cpu/mobo I was planning on needing to buy I'm wondering if the 1070 might be ok to get. The 130 dollar or so price difference isn't nothing to me, but if it gets me even more longevity at 1080p and gives me the option to further upgrade later if I end up with more money I could try to go for 1440p eventually. It might be worth it, was hoping for some thoughts from those who know more than I.

no

~25% power increase for about 40% price increase, and both will be obsolete in a few years anyhow

is it safe to do my build on a cloth mousepad? specifically the Corsair MM300. it has a rubber base if that's important
>>
>>62454683

My stability isn't really all that bad now, only game I have issues with is pubg and I suspect that's mostly because of my gpu (I used to get pastel, unenterable buildings at the beginning of games, I also get big lag spikes and bad frame rates sometimes while driving).

I'm only going off what I was told here, which was basically that if I OC my cpu some (which hopefully ends up as easy as I was told when my new cooler gets here) then it should do me fine for quite a while longer.

>>62454687
So then I should just get the 1060 and save myself the 130 or so dollars.
>>
>>62454532
This happens when people are not realistic with what they use their computer for

Do you really need a Ryzen 5 1600 for more cores and threads when you only stream "sometimes" and edit videos "sometimes"?

Do you really need 32 or hell even 16gb of ram when you know you'll rarely see about 6gb usage in your case?

Do you really need a 1070 when you spend most of your time shitposting on /tv/?

Making smart decisions like buying into a AM4 socket knowing you have flexibility down the road is a good example of money being well spent

Most fags here would be fine with a r3 1200 and a 1050 desu
>>
>>62454789
Not him but I went with a 1600 and a 1050 for light gaming.

My primary goal was PS3 emulation, and it's... getting there.
I rarely utilize my CPU to its potential but I do feel I'm better prepared (not proofed) for future software which may actually require it.

Coming from an original Phenom I'd rather have the overkill now and let software catch up to me instead of the inverse, and the 1600 wasn't relatively more costly.
>>
>>62454780
Yes, save that money for a top of the line GPU next time you're in the market, or if it's burning a hole in your pocket, put it toward a fancy peripheral

Im wanting to build a computer to run cities skylines maxed out or almost maxed. My budget is very small tho. I bought an fx 6800 cpu months ago and im ready to buy a gfx card. My questions are as follows:
1. What video card will give me the best bang for my buck on this game?
2. Is 8gb ram enough?
>>
>>62455097
>fx 6800
Now who the fuck told you to do that?
>>
>>62455097
>FX CPU
I'm an AMD fan, but this was a stupid idea. You should've gotten an AMD Ryzen 5 1600.
>1. What video card will give me the best bang for my buck on this game?
At the moment, an nvidia GTX 1060 6GB is the best bang for the buck. If prices were normal, it'd be an 8GB AMD Radeon RX 580.
>2. Is 8gb ram enough?
barely. You want 16 GB
>>
>>62455060

So watched about half the video, interesting stuff, but I mean I never disagreed that they are better chips. My point is for my needs I've both heard and now believe that my cpu will do me ok. I mean those games are insane and yet it still was always above 60 fps (granted with the titan x, but that's just to have a control), which is enough for me.

Sure I'll eventually need to upgrade obviously, but I get the feeling that my current chip will last me a little while longer for what I'm looking to do.
>>
>>62454849
Your setup is great as it. If you still want an average of 60fps at 1440p you'll have to get a GTX 1070. Go with a 1080p 144hz if you don't plan on upgrading and if you play competitive games.
>>
Overclock a cheap r5 1400 with a $15 air cooler thats on sale. Upgrade in 2020. thats about $180~200 for a cpu+mobo combo.
If you dont have ram, get $110 of 16gb 2666. Check the ram compatibility.

graphics cards are 560/1050, for under $100
1050 under $150
1060 3gb for under $200,
1060 6gb under $300, !080 for $500, These are your only reasonable new purchases.

Go home everyone

Cities Skylines can't use more than 4gb of ram. Stop lying to the guy. Ram prices are inflated right now, so put that money into a new CPU instead (even a R3 1200 performs better) since it's it's a processor-heavy game.
>>
>>62455427
no, both are more than enough for 60hz, and if you plan on 144hz, an i7700k won't be enough anyway

>Will I regret getting Ryzen 7 1800x over I7 7700K to go with 1080Ti for 1440p? I know below 1440p Ryzen will be better bang for buck, but does it also hold up on 1440p?

Hogher res means GPU, not CPU bottleneck.
You could use a 1700x and there wouldn't be much of a difference.

Just went down the local store to ask for the x370 taichi.
They checked their stock, said they didn't have any, tried checking all of their other branches for stock, didn't have any.
Called Asrock asking for stock, says there weren't any.

Tells me Asrock might be refreshing the Taichi or something and wouldn't let them place an order.

Checked other places, also no stock, no stock online either. (This is in the Asia Pacific)

In the end I got the Prime X370 Pro over the Gaming K5 for the VRM, considered the ROG Strix X370-F Gaming, but it looked like all you get with the price premium is the RGB lighting.

Computer is dying and nobody can tel what it is. Its either psu or mobo or both. As such im building something new.

Going from 4770k to probably 1700 but maybe 1700x. Realize its a sidegrade but the cores should help with certain things I want to learn (namely blender).

My issue is with mobo and ram.
Asus has always treated me well. Is the ch6 worth the premium over the prime series? Never had a rog mobo before and im currently in a house share so wifi is a must.

Ram. As far as I can tell one of the best kits is the flare x as ryzen benefits from faster ram with diminishing returns after ~3200mhz. My issue is between 16 and 32gigs. Id prefer to have 32 but need help weighing the pros and cons and basically figuring out whats actually a reasonable expectation.

Gpu is a 7970 which I could upgrade but I only casually game lately and it seems to be holding up just fine.

Can anyone help me out?
>>
>>62456126
depends on the prices for the 1700 vs the 1700x. if the 1700x is only slightly more (read, 25 more or less) then go for it
the crosshair is one of the top x370 boards, but to be honest you really dont need x370 unless you HAVE to have more lanes or want sli. you'd be fine with a b350, msi b350 gaming carbon pro is a great option for that
ask yourself, do you know you need 32gb of ram? if you dont know, you dont need it. even for blender or video editing your gpu will be the bottleneck before your ram in this case
also, do yourself a favor and dont learn blender, learn premier or vegas or resolve or something actually usable

>>
>>62456154
Will look at 1700x prices. Basically jave to see about corsair sendig me a bracket for my h105. Otherwise the spire was insurance.

As far as the ram I still dont understand all the issues with ryzen. Im under the impression that 4 sticks results in slower apeeds than two so while im open to doing 16 and seeing if I need/want 32 later im javing difficulty understanding the implications planning something like that might have.

If the ch6 is a good board I kight just go with it. Im likely to upgrade this proc next gen or the one after that, especially if theres more of a difference between the new ryzen 7 models.
>>
>>62456126
Ask yourself,

Do you need more than 4 sata + NVME, SLI, beefy VRMs?
If yes go x370, if not go b350

Get the 1700x if the price difference is minimal.

If you're running blender then you should be getting 2*16gb to leave yourself an upgrade path to 64gb in the future, you might not need 64gb now, but 3 years down the line and Zen2/zen3 comes around and you might be itching for it then.

Ryzen will run 2666 without overclocking, and the difference between 2666 and 3200 isn't as great as people make it to be unless you're really hitting the memory.

If you got the money, sure go 1700x/1800x + C6H, if not, drop down a tier on the motherboard to keep the 1700x since you already have a cooler.

scrap the Intel processor.
and the cooler.
and the motherboard.
Get an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 instead.
Use the stock cooler. It can handle a moderate overclock.
Then use a B350 chipset motherboard. I like the MSI B350 Tomahawk, but that's me.
bump the SSD to 240 GB at minimum.
Scrap BOTH of the HDDs and grab 3TB Seagate Barracuda for the same price as both of them.
Scrap the Phantom case. It's hideously out of date. Current favorites are the NZXT S340, Phanteks Eclipse P400S, and the Silverstone RL05.
The Silverstone has a spot for the DVD drive so there's that.

Other than that, get a different version of the 1070. Reference cards are shit.

So g/
Considering a build for moderate 1080p60hz gaming and occasional shitposting, I'd like to upgrade GPU because that HD6970 is showing it's age now.
I'm thinking going RX570 but would I really need to change CPU with that? I feel like good old i7 950 is still a great chip, would the 570 be limited by it?
What do you think /g/ents?
>>
2 questions
Does dual channel vs single channel make a huge difference?

Does the motherboard/PSU/tower casing come with all the cables and wires needed for hooking up a PC? Or do these things usually come with the part? For example, does a 1080 come with cables?
>>
>>62457529
Motherboards usually only come with 2 SATA cables so if you have more than 2 drives than you need to buy more cables.

Cables for the 1080 will be on your PSU
Cases will have all the cables for switches, indicator lights and front panel IO.

If you have to ask, then no, dual channel ram will not matter for you, it makes 2~3 fps difference in games.

>>62457355
If you're playing games that does not leverage high clocks or high IPCs then it won't be limiting to the RX 570 which is a mid low end card. Hell RX 570 will not hit 60fps on some newer triple AAA titles unless you drop to medium or lower settings. It was made for Overwatch, Rocket League, CS:GO and other shit like that.

Why don't you connect the fan directly to the motherboard.

Or use Sata to Molex

Windows 10 will compress itself on a SSD resulting in smaller footprint, opening and closing anything related to the system will be faster, keeping the prefetch, pagefile and other stuff on the SSD will result in better overall system response times.

Thanks so much! Thought males female was a big deal here. There are two loose hanging 3pin labeled "front fan". I can connect one of them to cha-fan1 on the mobo with some effort. The second one is conjoined and won't possibly reach all the way to cha-fan2. Now the issue is, there are no front fans in the chassi, only rear and top that are already wired into the molex? So what about those two loose hanging ones?

Update from yesterday. I got my last piece yesterady and started installing, I got the wiring done and tried to boot, couldn't get POST.

On my mobo there are LED lights that diagonse errors, and I have mixture of these yesterday, randomly swapping the RAMs seemed to fix this somewhat.

I had times where I'd have no LED lights on (seemingly no errors) and I still couldn't get anything on the screen, even after waiting several minutes. And yes, the DVI is plugged into the GPU not the mobo.

Then I tried resetting the CMOS, using a screwdriver between and also taking out the battery for 10 seconds.

Still no POST.

Then I read that having extra stand offs in the case can cause bad things for your mobo, so I took everything out, and lo and behold there was an extra unused standoff under the mobo, I took that out. Tried to boot, and BAM, now I get CPU errors, and the systems shuts itself down after 10 seconds with power.

Im gonna order new thermal paste (i didnt imagine id need it, shit comes preinstalled) to check the CPU now.

It feels like every time I plug a hole in this sinking boat, a new problem comes up. Im too fucking stupid for this shit.

>>62459015
1440 60fps is possible with a 1070, g-sync is a good idea as well.
alternatively, get a ayyymd and use the 100$ the freesync frees up for a better gpu.

Like the Enermax case I ordered doesn't even support 240mm coolers unless I get to cutting shit out of it or mount them on the outside. via running the tubes out of a flipped side panel. But that's $40 for a 240mm cooler.

The fan was making a lot of noise and when I lubed it now files load slower when exploring windows and as such games get stuttering when a lot of particles in the screen, which didn't happen before

There's a reason the OP lists "No i5s unless discounted" and "R5 1600 - Best value".

The 1600, and Ryzen in general, are safer and smarter investments across the board. Very specific use cases would benefit from Intel, such as muh fps.
>>
>>62462141
How and why
I got a Pro L RGB for $100

Yes. Look up benchmarks. Look at the core counts. i5s are about equal or a bit worse in single core performance, and much worse in multicore compared to a similarly priced ryzen.

I hadn't seen this thread until today. I was basing off li and I had heard i5 was competent enough

Refund the CPU, mobo, cooler, and RAM.

Get a Ryzen equivalent (1600, by price), a B350 mobo, the 1600 comes with a cooler, and 2933/3000+ MHz RAM (preferably dual channel, two sticks).

I'm also a bit split, because I just got a nice sign on bonus and could splurge for a 1070.
>>
>>62462436
Did you put the front panel and HD audio connectors in correctly
>>
>>62462471
You shouldn't look at a 580 (right now) unless you have brand loyalties to AMD.
You don't need a 1070 for 60hz on 1440p. If your going for 144hz on 1440p, splurge for a 1070.

>>62463230
the ryzen 1200 OC'd has the performance as the 1300 OC'd

The stock cooler is good enough for overclocking

get at least 2666 ram. The performance boost is worth it on Ryzen. Check QVL

If you plan on upgrading your CPU to the 8 core and OC i'd prefer to get at least B350 ATX board for better VRM handling. B350 tomahawk is pretty good.

Not sure how good the case is.

you can use windows with it unactivated to save you money.

Get a seasonic or EVGA PSU. I have the seasonic focus plus series. G2 or G3 is pretty good from EVGA
>>
>>62463322
Your cooler wasn't marked as purchased.

You can keep your old cooler if it has an AM4 bracket. I wouldn't recommend buying an X version just because it /lacks/ a cooler.

Also your build lists a 1300X and an A320 mobo, but the A320 can't overclock just B350 and X370.

I just want to play the latest games at 4K/60FPS but it seems like while a 1080Ti can average 60FPS it will also dip below 60FPS and that makes me want to not even bother. Granted it's not like my consoles are doing any better but then again they're not $1500-$2000 investments.

I think it would be more efficient to just get one powerful graphics card than doubling up two weaker ones. AFAIK there are games that do not recognize two graphics cards and some even have worse performance with the two recognized.

the strix and aorus one are the best in low noise level and has good tempatures.

strix costs more because the materials used are more sturdy than the aorus one

seems fine. you could save a bit and get a SATA ssd as you won't see much of a difference in boot times.

Not sure on the quality of the monitor. And I am not sure if a 580 will drop in prices any time soon if you are wondering

What's the cheapest system if I need the most pcie lanes possible? Like on a budget, threadripper is out
>>
>>62464916
Intel doesn't cut the prices of their old CPUs, so unless you can find one used, you'd have to settle for an i5. And finding a decent motherboard can be kind of tricky, too, since intel changes sockets so often.
>>
>>62464969
What's your budget and how many lanes do you need?
You can probably find some used server or workstation for relatively cheap.
>>
>>62464974
ryzen it is then? unless i get something used for real cheap?
>>
>>62465004
As low as possible and as many as possible. Ideally I'd like not to spend more than 200 on cpu and motherboard, but I can stretch that a bit if needed
>>
>>62465023
Those are basically your only options.
>>
>>62465176
Yeah, for 200 you're probably not going to get more than 16 even if you're buying used.
>>
>>62464956
It probably wouldn't kill you to settle for less RAM speed
3200MHz is an ideal, not a standard.

Are 4k and 1440p@144hz comparable loads on a GPU? or is 4k definitely a heavier load?

kthx

I'm out of the loop, has the whole Ryzen 5 1600 Linux segfault thing fixed now?

>>62465397
1440p@144Hz is heavier, but you're more likely to hit some other bottleneck before being limited by the GPU.
>>
>>62465397
They are pretty comparable, but 4k is a constant heavy load while 1440p has the leeway of being able to drop fps and not chug
>>
>>62465474

What about 1440p @ 100hz?

What's the minimum for a good performance?

RGB fest with solid performance
>>
>>62465538
2133 for good. 2666 is where the biggest gain/clock happens, and from there you get diminishing returns. You'll likely be able to loosen timings on 2133 or 2400 rated RAM to get up to 2666. Look for the tight timings moreso than clockspeeds, as you can always loosen them to get higher clocks.
>>
>>62465496
4k is 2.25x the amount of pixels as 1440p. 144hz is 2.4x the amount of frames as 60hz.
Do the math and hitting 144 fps on 1440p is theoretically a heavier load than 60 fps on 4k.
100 is 1.666666666...x the amount of hz than 60 so it is a lesser load.
>>62465538
2400MHz can work fine.
>>
>>62465313
Including chipset? I just need 32 pcie 2.0 lanes to be good
>>
>>62465538
2666MHz seems to be the spot where you start getting diminishing returns, so I wouldn't go for less.

If I want to build 1600 based gaming pc for 1080p, should I go with 1060 or 1080? There is no sense going with 1070, as it costs almost the same as 1080.

Realistically speaking, will I be able to run games at ultra-high with 1060, or should I go with 1080 and be 100% set for upcoming years with my shitty resolution?
>>
>>62465713
Asking if I will be able to run games at ultra-high with 1060, I mean in next 2-3 years. I just wonder if it makes sense to buy 1080, or if 1060 is good enough for 2 years and I can get a new gpu then.

The linear bandwidth difference from 1080p to 1440p is an increase of 77% (read: 1.77x), from 1080 to 2160p is an increase of 300% (read: 4x) finally the move from 1440p to 2160p is a 125% increase (read: 2.25x). 135fps/hz would be 225% of 60, meaning it's 1440p@135hz is approximately as intensive as 2160p.
>>
>>62465902
Not him, but I'd argue 1440p 144hz is harder to achieve than 4k 60fps, because you have to have a cpu that can feed the GPU that fast as well
>>
Dear,
>>62465474, >>62465496 :

>>62465902
Which is to say it's approximately equivalent unlike, with only the slightest margin of difference. If you're choosing between 2160p60hz or 1440p144hz I suggest the latter unless you're going well beyond a 27" monitor which you sit unreasonably close to. Another note to be made is you can downclock monitors, though it may take some tweaking, to reduce the frequency in order to prevent screen tearing at a locked framerate.
>>
>>62466026
Or just use gsync/freesync
>>
>>62465966
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a CPU bottleneck in modern CPUs that would prevent 1440p144hz. Remember when Ryzen dropped and despite its lackluster launch performance it still failed to bottleneck higher resolutions. Obviously the same is true of Intel processors. With that said, I do agree a weaker CPU wouldn't be able to handle certain more intensive titles like BF1 in certain circumstances (100 tick 64 player servers) outside of that though competitive games are over-optimized and so framerates well in excess of 144 are easily obtainable with only marginal difficulty.
>>
>>62466099
I find committing to these to be a problem, Freesync is obviously free, but Gsync is technically superior, it's also significantly more expensive. Neither are cross compatible. Personally I find it to be anti-consumer and as such I will opt-out of purchasing anything offering either standard. Furthermore, while they are better than v-sync they both fail to cure the input latency they were designed to remedy so it becomes even harder to justify their use. I'd rather lock frames at some integer multiple of my refresh and let things play their course.
>>
>>62454507
Bought a Ryzen and a MSI Crosshair VI Hero board. Wrestle with it all week just to have it crap out. Either the mobo or the CPU is dead. Feels pretty bad.
>>
>>62466172
>Personally I find it to be anti-consumer and as such I will opt-out of purchasing anything offering either standard
G-sync is anti-consumer. Freesync is an open standard Nvidia is free to implement(but isn't going to, because being anti-consumer is what they're all about).

PS3 emu are limited on Ryzen to one CCX.
So 1600, 1800X, doesn't matter. You will end up with 1400-tier performance. If that is your goal, stick with 1500X for more clock + aftermarket cooler.
To the day where it finally be able to use both CCX, Ryzen 2 (aka 5Ghz) will be there for you. Or even Ryzen 3.
