/pcbg/ - PC Building General

What are the good PC hardware recommended for someone who want to start programming.
want to build a machine dedicated to programming and NOT gayming at all (programming, web browsing and virtualization are the only things that i want to use it for), and i want it to last for 5 years at least.
Also do i need more than one monitor or is it just a meme?!

I'm going to be upgrading my CPU soon. Will be mainly gaming with some light streaming on a 1440p 144Hz monitor paired with an UV/OC Vega 56.

I'm planning on doing some modest OC but if I'm not going to delid or use a $50+ cooler is the 8700K worth it or should I just go with a 2700X?.

pcpartpicker.com/list/fTLndX

I wanted to stay below 1100 € but a bit more is fine.
uses are multi purpose, games, video editing and illustration (both professional and not).
I already have a monitor so the one there is to match the one i have
I did this quickly without any research first, I just went with what seems powerful because I've been using the same laptop for so many years now and I'm going crazy I just want a really good pc, I chose the non K CPU because I know I won't overclock it and the 1080 because why the fuck not I'll prob get a 1440p monitor in the future

>streaming and gaming 1440p 144Hz
>don't want to OC or buy expensive cooler
2700X + X470 + 3200 CL14 is what you want. For modest OC the stock cooler is perfectly fine.

i can replace the proc to a higher clock and core count as they are more affordable in ebay.

>locked CPU
>on Z board
>shit PSU

More than one monitor is a meme. It can be useful for reading if you flip the screen on the side but everything else can also be done with the "Desktops" program from Sysinternals.
EXCEPT for game programming. I guess a second monitor would be really nice for that.

please explain to me what's wrong, as I said I didn't do any research so it's very possible I made bad choices

It's almost like you get what you pay for....whoa

Point me to a good 120GB SSD that doesn't cost more than the same company's same model's bigger version (looking at you, shitsung).

Get 600-650w psu. Rest is fine

How's this for "Just wait for 7nm+ everything" build?
Will add B450 mobo when they become available.
Last of my three B100s shat the bed so i want to try gaymen mouse meme for once.
Will also add case and SSD later since order can't go above 1000 euro and no one other than CU delivers to my shithole.

Which $30 mouse should I get?

G203 or Corsair Harpoon?

You are free to use google.
All budget Corsair PSUs are shit, avoid them.

>120GB SSD
There's your problem, smaller SSDs perform worse and if you want a fast SSD for sequential R/W get NVMe anyways.

I've been looking for a compact mATX case that can hold at least 2 (3+ is preferred) 3.5" HDDs.

Lian Li's V320X looks pretty good, but the price is a bit steep at 230 CAD (American Newegg has a 30% coupon right now, which I'm honestly jealous of).

Other options I've been looking at are the following.

Bitfenix Prodigy M
I've had the mini ITX version before, which was okay, except for the worthless handles and stands that makes it large.

Bitfenix Phenom
Has identical internal layout to the Prodigy M, except that it doesn't have a fucking external cutout for the 5.25" bay which is really dumb.

Jonsbo makes some compact mATX cases too, but most of them are limited on 3.5" bays.

Any experience with any of the above cases?

Yes but really, do google it.

Where's your SSD?

If you don't know enough to help then don't reply to me or my wife's posts ever again.

oh, sorry didn't understand right; that's the kind of error that happens when not doing researches, but I'll do them before actually buying the parts, that mobo just seemed good and not too expensive

Thanks, I'll look into that. Already have some leftover 3000 CL16 ram though, good enough or would going 3200 CL14 be worth it?

Help

>good enough or would going 3200 CL14 be worth it?
If you can sell the other RAM you wouldn't pay much, imo worth it.

I'm building my first pc with a 1070ti as the gpu. Which monitor would be better?

Alright, thank you for the replies. I'll do some more research with this as a base.

Read the fucking manual.

no

purpose of the build?

Your loss, next time buy locked Intel if you refuse to read.

I don't want to spend too much for a facebook craptop drive and the 'best' brands either don't have 120GB drives or the drives are priced the same as their 250GB drives.
I would accept paying similar $/GB as Sasmung's 240GB for half the performance, but I'm only getting like 1/5 of Samsung's performance and that is not OK.
Seriously, is there no 120GB SSD with sustained seq writes at least comparable to a HDD (~200MB/s) which doesn't cost more than Samsung's 250GB SSD?

I just built my computer and when i booted the mobo gave me a warning that said i put the ram in the wrong slots (1 and 3 instead of 2 and 4) I ignored the warnings, boosted my memory clocks to 3000 mhz and checked cpu-z. It says the ram is running in dual channel mode so i assume its fine. i obviously could just swap out the ram but i would have to dismount my noctua cooler because the fan blocks the RAM

is this a decent monitor?
I currently have
support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03618424
this I think, its says HP pavilion 22 bw in the bottom right at least. Would this other monitor be a significant upgrade? will my rx 580 8gb going to be able to keep up with it as 144hz?

realizing i can just hook everything up with zip ties instead of having to deal with a non-magnetic screwdriver is a life saver

2600x with PBO + box cooler

for same price? which one

First time delidding, how'd I do?

Attached: mdASK5S.jpg (1196x2125, 555K)

The 2600X is better binned, has better memory compatibility and the stock cooler should be enough for 4.2GHz or more with PBO

that's not what i'm reading. it's loud, temps are in the high 80s and it doesn't go past 4ghz on multiple cores with pbo

Don't make the same mistake that I did Anonymeese. Just buy Intel/Nvidia, it just works.

yes mr shekelberg, right away !

best matx on the market is the corsair 280x rgb.

I have this issue every time I get new ram: I have 16GB DDR4 installed (2x8GB) but Windows shows 8GB is hardware reserved. I have tried different RAM slots and it either doesnt post because they're in the wrong slots or the result is the same. Both ram sticks tested individually work. Any ideas on how to fix?

Good or bad?

Swap the mobo for a PC Mate, in the last thread someone reported the Pro4 dying so they're still avoidable, the kit could be cheaper and a modular PSU like the 620 EVO would be better

if you're gonna be shitposting on it than I guess it's ok. All the other specs are laughable.

>1030 4GB

Did you update the BIOS?

Check this. While they're not enabled by default they do MAX out to your current specs.
Back when I had upgraded from an Athlon X2 to a Phenom X4 for some reason it was enabled for only 2 cores.

The full atx or the micro one?
Too bad i can't find the PC mate in retail stores next to me any alternatives?

>gtx 1080
>1080p 60hz
I bet you have poozen too

Yup, updated to the newest version.

I checked there and the checkbox is unchecked.

The mATX one, check the last thread. Any B350 with a heatsink over the SoC that's not the Gaming Pro, Pro4 or Biostar should be fine

>See reviews on every B350 board
>All of them have severe problems
WTF is wrong with b350 line?
Not only the ram prices are ridiculous
But no peace of mind in buying mobos either ffs.

Meh, my current PC is even more laughable (Sempron 140, 1GB ram, on-board video HD 4200), but it's enough for my needs like watching 720p, running PS, and browsing net. All I need is ability to play some games on high in that resolution. I tested few for a start and it seems to be running them fine.

Any reason I shouldn't use regular screws as a replacement for my broken spring screws on a GPU heatsink?

If you are paying that much for a b360 might aswell get a z370+3200 ram for $30 more which will give you about 5-10% more fps and better 1% lows. This or get a cheaper b360.
Also this psu model is trash. Go for a 550 txm or supernova whichever is cheaper.

CL 15 or CL 16?
Is team vulkan and patrol viper ddr4 3000 good for ryzen?
Not going to be using a 1080 ti so I don't care about b-die overclocking and any of that as the only difference with overclocked RAM shows with a 1080 ti.

Thank you.

Don't mind the thread derailing shill
It's not terrible but there's no 4GB 1030 and you could get an Optiplex with more RAM and storage, if possible save up $150 more and get 2200G+B350+2x4GB

Decent build for the budget. Don't change the mobo, you want that 3+3 phase with VRM cooling when overclocking the APU.
Also read about MSI removing APU OC from BIOS lol.

Should I clean the thermal paste which comes with CPU fan's heatsink, or is it okay to keep that paste, apply another paste to the cpu and then install the fan?

>only difference with overclockes RAM shows with a 1080ti
Not true at all. It's a must to get a bdie with ryzen pretty much or intel shits on it.

you should clean it, otherwise it will perform worse than if you never released the tension in the first place

Not really. Just be sure to buy some not too big plastic/rubber washers and don't screw too hard or too loose, else you break everything.

I already have the GPU. (I would buy a GTX 1060, but don't really have money for that.)
And please, don't recommend a SSD, it's cool, but I don't need it. Thank you.

Thank you for the advice. Life can be difficult when you lack common sense.
