I'd been without a gpu for a while and got this gtx 950 as an open box deal for 60 bucks. have 30 days to take it back to microcenter. prolly will do so, end up getting beefier.


love those open box deals.

You'd be fine ordering it as-is but if I can make a few minor tweaks:

Can you do anything about the SSD size? 60gb is not a lot for your OS drive. It'd be an ok game drive though if you want to have the 2TB as your OS drive.

Look for 2x8gb ram, so you can get that dual-channel speed.

Make sure you have a copy of windows factored in too. If you know any college kids they can get you a cheap copy.

Like I said though, you're good to go either way.

>>380560260
Rough, I was lucky enough to order one off the compatibility list. Hopefully your bracket shows up soon.

I really have no idea what im doing, a friend made that build for me.

I plan on using the SSD for the OS, don't know how much space it requires. If it were for me i'd put it all in the 2TB disk.

That's an old list that i found, i did change the RAM to 1x16gb because it's cheaper than 2x8gb on my local store.

My friend told me that it's possible to clone my shitty Intel Celeron laptop's HDD to a new one for that CPU. I thought Windows licenses get copied too.

I'd post on /g/ but they'd eat me alive.

Fortunately you're talking to someone who frequents /g/ but isn't an asshole :)

Yeah if the 1x16 is cheaper just do that. No problem.

60gb is just super cramped for the OS which is my only concern for your build. Just keep an eye out for deals. Looking for used ones might be worth it too. No shame in getting a used part if it improves the quality as much as an SSD would.

For windows license just make sure you get the key. It should be on a sticker on the laptop, or available through software like magical jelly bean or produkey:

>>380562690
Your current CPU would probably bottleneck the 1060 badly. I have a newer and better i5 combined with a 970 in this computer, and that's bad already in CPU-intensive games. But then, to get a more up-to-date CPU you might need to get a new motherboard, and if you have your eye on CPUs that go into a 1151 socket you'll probably need to replace your RAM as well.

Also, get an SSD. That will really smoothen your experience. Booting in a matter of seconds, and loading screens mostly eliminated. Keep your old hard drive for documents/music/movies/whatever, and use your SSD for vidya. 500GB or 1TB if you can afford it should be enough for now.

970's are deceptively powerful.

Two of them are more than enough to game at 4K

CPU bottlenecking is becoming more of an issue due to poor optimization in modern vidya.

It's a complicated issue and I'm not a computer engineer and I would probably need one to explain this shit.

But if I was gonna boil all this down to one sentence it would be this.

Wait and watch. AMD never lives up to hype and Intel will fuck you over in the long run.

If you want to upgrade, skip the 9000 series. They're the same as the 8000 with boosted clock speeds.

First, clean your PC. What's with those temps? That better not be during idle with nothing cpu or gpu heavy running.
Second, get a better SSD when prices start to stabilize again. And pray that Seagate doesn't die on you a year from now. Better yet, check the disk for errors. No, I don't mean defragmenting.

>>380570843

You will need a new Mobo if you want to upgrade to Ryzen.

Your mobo has an AM3 socket which is compatible with all 8000 series AMD CPUs.

9000 series run hot and faster but overall are not worth the extra money.

Ryzen uses the AM4 socket which is unique to the Ryzen CPU series.

Make no mistake Upgrading your CPU to Ryzen will help massively with gaming to a certain extent. Anything running Unreal Engine will still chug frames because it's just not optimized for AMD's computing systems.

The AM4 socketed motherboards will also require DDR4 memory in dual channel and your DDR3 memory is going to cause issues.

>>380572048

No. You will never cool your computer down below the temperature of the air around it.


If it's 90 degrees fahrenheit in your room. You could dump 1000 dollars into a custom liquid cooling loop and it will never go below 90 degrees because of how cooling works. You need to lower the ambient temperature around your rig.

That won't help. Room temperature is the most important variable.
Winter/fall/spring temperatures I see 20-25C, summer I see 30-35C in my room for example.

>>380572537
Well, that's not entirely true. You can cool it below room temperature with an LN2, DICE or phase change setup.

>>380572856

None of those systems are realistic beyond those who have experimental rigs specifically for testing those things out.

Maybe a bong cooler if that anon REALLY wanted to try something to drop temps. but that requires quite intensive setup by normie standards and might not be worth the 10-15 degree difference.

want to upgrade, don't know where to begin

Built this thing three years ago, need some advice and what upgrades I should make to be able to play some of the newer games coming out. I use it mostly for gaming/emulation (Dota 2 and Overwatch most of the time but I'm playing these two games less and less)

Doesn't need to be 4K

thats what i have to do if I want a better processor, even though LGA 2011 sockets are FORWARD compatible, they dont sell the ones that are compatible on any store in my country anymore.

So basically if I dont wanna bottleneck the GPU i wanted to just have originally, I have to buy a whole new motherboard thats LGA-2011v3 or whatever, with a new processor, new RAM because the mobo is DDR4 not 3 and probably a new PSU since ive had my current one for like 5 years and the fans starting to go.

My upgrade has gone from 1K or so to almost fucking 3K AUD because its gotta basically be a whole new system aside from HDDs, case, peripherals etc.

Oh and I want a 4K monitor so Im looking at like 500 fucking bucks just for a decent one for work.

>>380576256

other than building a new system....


your cpu is fine for now, get a decent cooler on it and overclock it as much as you can

the ram should be fine, if you're going to buy any ram it might as well be ddr 4, but if u can find a great deal on 16 gigs DDR 3 at higher speed like 2133, then go for it

gtx 770 is still a solid card, for example a gtx 1070 or RX 580 would be like twice that things performance

i would also consider getting better monitors, 144hz at 1080p is awesome

>tfw all GPU prices increased by half due to miners

>>380576548

a skylake or kaby lake i7 overclocked would be just fine with the 1080ti, you dont HAVE to go lga2011

i would also get a m.2 nvme SSD, sata 6 is so slow now

i would also get a better psu, seasonic or evga atleast gold rated

>>380576783
yeah i just roughed that build out like an hour ago really quickly. If a different socket like a 1155 or whatever is cheaper Ill go with that.

As for the HDDs they're pretty much what I have now, I dont need another one. Maybe a new SSD to just dedicate OS on and no programs because Ive almost been out of space on this current one for ages because of programs taking up space.

Definitely a new PSU though. Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately Im not in the position to piss 3 grand away atm.

Good enough for me

>>380577743
Since GTA V.

>>380577712
gotcha, so my original instinct of just getting a new GPU & PSU was the correct choice?

Its not like my CPU has issues anyway, it runs really well considering having it for like a few years now. Its just the GPU that really needs the upgrade.

>>380577743
it's future proof, but you are right you can always upgrade its the most simple thing to upgrade in a pc if the heatsink isn't in the way.

>>380576256
Do you actually need an upgrade? That'd still play modern games well enough if you're willing to cut some settings. Maybe the small GPU ram is a limiting factor, though
OC that cpu if you haven't already, though

>>380577865
Fermi generation is deprecated garbage now.

>>380577865

im worried that ur cpu and ram would bottle neck a 1080ti at 4k resolution, even up to 60hz

this is mainly because of the ram, if u could find some faster ddr 3 that will work with ur motherboard, then that should solve it. cheaper than building new whole system.

if u want a cpu upgrade now, a rx 580 or a gtx 1070 are solid choices right now

>>380577865
Why PSU? WHich one do you currently have?

>>380578443

>>380578225
Held up pretty well with this specific card I got, but the last few years in games its absolutely fell off the cliff. It just can't do it anymore. Im lucky if I can manage 60 FPS on high settings on any given game.

>>380578485

I also had GTX680 until the last year. As you said, most of the recent games perform like shit. It made me appreciate the devs who put the effort into optimizing their games. Being able to run DOOM maxed out at 1080p60 was a nice surprise.

Fans are replaceable, but just wanting a new one so it doesn't blow up your shit is understandable

Its been going for a solid like I think more than 5 years. Its gone through 2 builds without needing a new one. Im guessing thats a pretty good run.

In my second rig I have a 450w psu from some reputable brand that has been chugging along for like 6 years now, it had to suffer through overclocked amd CPUS and mutliple harddrives and shit and it's still going strong. At this point it's some kind of morbid fascination to see when it's gonna blow, and how well the protection mechanisms are going to work. If they fail then I won't lose much either way
