pcpartpicker.com/list/TskpD2 This is more or less what I plan to buy, I have to do some researches on mobos and PSUs, the GPU won't be that one but I plan on buying a 1080 or 1070ti, whichever I can find at a good price

Want to make a PC for my parents to update their +10 year old prebuilt. What's the cheapest CPU I should buy that will still be fast for general office use? I don't mind spending money, I just don't want too much power for a PC that will only be used to browse the internet and do office work.
I realize the percentage of people that were like me a month or so ago is small. I had never built my own computer before and to a certain extent I questioned whether the $1700 I spent would really be worth it. I overspent on some parts that I knew I didn't "really" need but the cool thing is that I knew what I was buying when I bought it.
It's 100% worth it. I legitimately love my computer and I feel pride and affection for it every time I pass by it. I think the most important part of that feeling is selecting the parts yourself, doing your own research, and then assembling it yourself. Don't skimp on those parts of building.

I think the thing I spent the least on proportionally, or at least in how you would expect PC building to go normally, was the GPU. I could easily swap the GPU whenever I need to but I'd need to replace my screen as well. pcpartpicker.com/list/rMMCD2

>ram isnt bdie haven't done much research on ram just picked the one that wasn't too expensive, is bdie really important?
>500w psu How is that a bad thing?
>only 500gb storage I know I only need that, I also already have another 450GB SSD and a 500GB HDD
>case cheaper than the box it's shipped in so what?
Levi Smith
its more important for a ryzen build. b-die, that is.
Joshua Hill
does it makes much difference? shit is starting to become expensive
Juan Brown
man I wish there was something between 1060 and 1070
Brandon Lee
I think my 390X is dying. What's a good replacement for that GPU? Sympoms: GPU-Z can't see the temp sensors, the clock or the bandwidht, I'm getting random black screens with sound still on and the integrated graphics keep on trucking. Furmark won't launch on the 390, but it will on the igpu, same with steam big picture
Camden Ramirez
I just bought the 1070ti for 380 bucks to upgrade from my R9 290. And I bought Noctua fans for my case, how much did I fuck up?
Lincoln Sanders
Any compatbility issues running Ryzen 2700X with a R9 390?
I know the R9 390 is kinda weak for the CPU, but it's just that my current CPU+MB is having issues and I'd like to replace it so I can still work and save up money buying another GPU (thinking about the 1070ti and buying a 1440p 75hz monitor)
Luke Scott
>1070ti for 380 bucks >did I fuck up That's a great fuckin deal, where'd you buy it

It's the zotac mini version I talked about in the last thread, local store here in Germany.

You're posting outdated shit when 8400 was cheaper, dumb intel shill

Finally, an OP that doesn't just shill AMD. This board supposedly advocates for free as in freedom but wants to censor Intel and Nvidia
Jaxon James
how much of a discount can I expect for a 1080 ti on black friday? It was $650 a few weeks ago and now it is back up to $720, will it atleast go back down as far as $650?
Yeah but if it's not best overall it's garbage, deal with it.

Remember when AMD shills spammed a 9700k benchmark where a 6700k beat out Ryzen 2s and backpedalled hard when exposed?
Then they tried to slide the leaked 9900k benchmark thread when it showed that at stock settings its still way faster than an overlocked 2700X

>>RTX 2000 cards are worse performance per $ than current GPUs. Just a marketing gimmick to rip off idiots That has been the case for every single generation of, not just NVidia GPU, not even just GPU in general, but pretty much every consumer electronics
Andrew Wood
>8100 >avoid Vega which has sales right now retard shill op. Surprised he didn't put logicalincrements in the OP, too.
>That has been the case for every single generation of, not just NVidia GPU, not even just GPU in general, but pretty much every consumer electronics No it hasn't been. The 380X gave the performance of the $600 290X for $420 instead. That's not a massive leap, and it was simply a refresh with prices dropped, but it's still about 25% better performance per dollar. RTX is LOWER performance for your dollar. Then the RX480 gave 380 to 380X performance, really better now days with more driver optimizations, for $250. And the 1060 was 980 performance for $300 then dropped to $250.
No, I actually never saw that when I'm here pretty often.
Jace Rogers
vega is good if you dont factor in power consumption and heat
a fucking rx580 consumes more power than a 1080

Am I being dimm? I'm building my first desktop and ordered my RAM and this arrived. It looks like laptop RAM to me. My mobo is a mini itx so I'm unsure.
Are there any decent clean aesthetic ram modules? Closest I've found are dominators and hyperx fury. I'm not keen on the plain silver of the dominators and the hyperx is too angular and gamery.
Colton Bell
It's clearly meant for laptops or motherboards that use laptop ram. Post your system here but it's very obvious if it's the wrong ram or not. Unless you have the Asrock X299 board it's 100% the wrong one.
send it back and get normal DDR4 sticks. Protip: afair H310 can't go higher then 2133 mhz so you can save a lot of money by not buying fast modules.
Blake Turner

boyos I'd love to have a threadripper system because manycore. but I have no idea what I would do with it. i'm not even into gaymen so what would I do with 32cores/64threads? I'd love to build it and have it in my room but all that power would be essentially wasted on ripping tranny porn from the internet and browsing Jow Forums. is threadripper the sports car for the dentists of the internet?
I recently inherited an old gaming pc built in 2013. It runs fine except the motherboard stopped working, which is why the pc was being replaced. The motherboard was an MSI p67a-c43 (b3). Ideally i would just buy a new one since it worked fine for what i want the pc to do. I can't find any new ones for sale online, so i was wondering what motherboard i could buy that would be comparable
it's OK. it hasn't the same quality finish as the mini c (for example there's no velcro strips in the cable compartment [only plastic cable binders] - while the mini c is all velcro). and the motherboard standoffs are of pretty low quality. very easy to break them. but overall it's one of the better cases. it's very very quiet and the screwless side panels are great. I'd recommend it.

pcpartpicker.com/list/PTQbyX How does this look? Should I go with an Asus X470 Pro instead of the B? Just used the B450 to save some about 40 bucks.
you should have bought the 1080. the 1070ti is literally a 1080 with slower RAM. they introduced the model because there was RAM shortage for the top ram they used in the 1080.

>intel shills >amd shills you fucking poor teenagers. I have both a 8700k system and a TR workstation. I don't fanboy either of the two companies. their CPUs are better for different use cases. it's like getting worked up over hammers vs screw drivers because you can afford only one lol poor people should be banned from the internet
