/pcbg/ - PC Building General

Crossfire is not supported by every games and the performance increase is not interesting enough to justify it.
Just get a 580 and you'll be fine.

MSI Gaming Plus/Pro is the cheapest that's actually decent.
But you really may as well get the Tomahawk or Mortar.

RAM compatibility is quite good for 400 series boards except for Gigabyte.

2 RX560s is a lot slower than 1 RX580.

brainlet who never owned a decent gaming PC before. I have an opportunity to buy this for ~850 dollars, give or take:

is it a good deal?

You can make better for cheaper. No. Used should cost considerably less. Like $700.

Thinking about getting this system soon, on the fence about the gpu though, not sure it I should go 1070ti titanium...

Oh god please avoid Biostar, with the might of Zeus please change that motherboard.

Where are you going to buy that 8600K for under $400? Massive Intel CPU shortage man.

It'll be about $400

Why not get a 2700X for that money? In fact you could even slot in an extra keyboard and mouse by saving that $80.

So is it worth it waiting for this coffee lake refresh?

The craziest part about that is that despite Sony talking up the tech and performance of the PS3, the Xbox 360 actually wound up being the vastly more capable machine with its unified shader architecture and the shared edram.

Yes. Considering that Intel's knockoff SMT is dogshit and full of security holes, but 6 threads also isn't enough, so if you're dumb enough to buy Intel then 8c/8t bingbus is the best Intel config to go with.

Is there any ryzen gen 2 Mobo that you CANT overclock G.skill RAM from 2400 to 2666 on?

Curious if I should wait for any possible RX 590 news and see if GTX 10 cards drop in price.

Hi guys, i have this:

It was bought in 2012 and now i have 2 000 $ for upgrade. What part(s) should i replace to gain maximum profit?

whats a good 750w power supply for a high end graphics card?

Help is Acer GN246HL any good? I want to upgrade from 60Hz to 144Hz and a local computer store has them for quite cheap.

Attached: acer.jpg (500x439, 37K)

all of them but the HDD

I was thinking the same. No real problem with waiting another month after all

Hey, this might be a noob question but when it comes to fps and screen tearing, could I just limit the number of frames to say 130 hz on a 144hz monitor instead of paying the extra 200 bucks for gsync?

anyone know a good build for $800? I want to use it mainly for illustration and animation. maybe some light 3d modeling if that's possible

Can not afford full upgrade at a time =/

I'm confused you said you had $2000, which is plenty for a full system upgrade

I checked only ssd prices and it was like 900$ for 4gb samsung. Thought all other parts will be just as expensive.

maybe don't buy a $900 SSD? I'm not recommending this build specifically but as an idea of what you can get for under $2k

pcpartpicker.com/guide/dDdnTW/gaming-streaming-and-editing-build

coz amd sux

I use XB271HU 144hz 1440p and it's fuckin amazing

Ssd now is my problem because 120Gb system drive is always out of space, so i thought updating to high size ssd and getting rid of hdd completely would be nice.
Also this does not look like real update, but thanks anyway, will check prices for other parts.

Which noctua fans are best to use as case fans? I was going to get 3 nf-s12a's (2 intake, 1 exhaust) but I read that nf-p12 might be better for intake since my case has a dust filter.

thanks for the input
someone already won the bid anyway, so I guess I really dodged a bullet

Is it ok to get a 4k as my second monitor if I'm just planning to use it for the internet and watching anime only?

the only good reason to buy a huge 4k screen is to watch anime

Why is gskill charging so much for this TZRX ram? Is it just because it's tuned for ryzen or some shit? I see other kits going for around $150

Would an i5 4590 and a 1060 3gb be enough for 60fps 1080p?

So is that a yes or no?

I don't know why user said you could do better for less, but here's a similar but nicer in some regards build for ~$850. Yeah it's only a 1060, but that'll be good for 60-120 frames per second gaming at 1080p resolution. I'm running the same gpu and play the Witcher 3 and Battlefield at between 60 and 80 frames per second.
pcpartpicker.com/list/wYwLbX

No. 4 threads does not reliably do 60fps minimums. It hasn't even in many 2013 games let alone new ones.

definitely, fonts on retina so much better
no 4k anime

What games would the cpu bottleneck. I was more concerned about the 3gb vram.

I just got a 1080 used for 4 months for mining for half the price as new with 19 month left waranty

Did I do good?

Don't get the Duke, get at least the gaming

>2700x for $400nz

I'm looking for a gaming pc. How much can a budget of $1000 get me?

Soundcards worth the little extra money or is the onboard audio enough?

It's usually more than enough. The main advantage of a sound card is not quality but the amplifier. only to consider if you have 50+ohms headphones.

Mainly for web occasionally some older game. current setup is 9 years old.

I don't get it.
Did you just want to tell everyone you were fantasizing about shitting and pissing yourself?
Was it meant to provide a sardonic cast to your pathetically ironic narcissistic projection?
Why do you even post? It isn't funny to anyone.

I bought a $10 windows 10 pro key off of ebay. It activated but is there anything I could later regret like it deactivating later?

A key can only be in use by one person at a time, so if they sell the same one again later yours will deactivate

But you could always complain to ebay and they'll almost certainly take the buyer's side anyway

Anyone have experience with these two monitors?
Theres not a whole lot of selection on 27inch 1440p gsync monitors out there and im cant decide between tn and ips

Attached: firefox_2018-09-26_05-22-32.png (969x122, 19K)

It's stated pretty clearly in the post, trip fag.

If I can get a 1060 6GB for a reasonable price, is it still worth buying in late 2018?

TN when only gaymen
IPS when also watching chinese slideshows

If your processor is also relatively dated, it's still good enough to handle 1080p 60fps in most games.

Is the slower response times with ips panels really noticeable?

For Laymen like us, not really, no.

Most of those response times stats are out of ass anyway, it's more on model by model basis.
The more expensive models of IPS for gaymen have such unnoticeable difference compared to TN that it's pointless to fight for each ms.
It reminds me of times where people actually thought that LCD is better than CTR for gaming when delay was over 30ms.

>It reminds me of times where people actually thought that LCD is better than CTR for gaming when delay was over 30ms.
No one ever thought that. CTR were always a king

I need help, anons. I sent my PSU to the shop because the fan was rattling and they said they'll replace it within 2-3 weeks. It was a Seasonic M12ll 750w bronze fully modular.
It started acting weird after I got my GTX 1080 Ti card.

I need a new power supply. Here are my specs
>Intel i7-8700 (will buy an 8086k in the future)
>ASUS z370 STRIX E motherboard
>Asus GTX 1080 Ti STRIX 11GB non-OC
>Noctua NH-D15
>Silverstone Primera 01 RGB case. It comes with an RGB controller and I plugged it to the motherboard

I saw a PSU tier list before but I lost the link. Thanks anons

Just like Apple is the "king" now.
People have been brainwashed by corporates desperately trying to push light form LCD's for extra $.
Today display at least do SOME things CTR did.

Is there a new APU coming soon from AMD ?
Or is the 2400g is all there is for now?
I can wait two months for a new refresh or a 7nm APU.

I'm getting a synology NAS and i'm picking drives for it. I was thinking if running 2 4TB WD reds in raid 1 but fir the same price i can get 2TB red pros, or shell out 200 bucks more for 4TB red pros. I'm nit sure how much storage I'll need, i think 2TB would be fine for a start, but 4 would kind of ensure I always have some space.

Anyone with some experience? WD Red vs Red Pro

Just so you understand, my card reaches 55-65max while heavy gaming, and the fan speed is 50% MAX, with a lot of the time it being down to idel at 33% fan speed and like 30deg idle.

Compare that to mining card running at
>Well this dude says it still has 1 year left on the warranty and "The cards were ran below 70C at 50-60% fan speed"
24/7.

Honestly buying a mining card is suck a cuck move. The people bought the cards, made it more expensive for you to buy any new cards. Mined money off it, ruined the card AND get to sell it back to you, at a high profit while the card has been abused to hell and back.

I really can't understand the amount of loss of perspective a person needs to help out the people who fucked him in the first place.

Any good mITX CPU cooler to recommend? Do any top flow does the trick?

>That feel when using a 144hz Freesync monitor with Enhanced Sync on with my Vega 64
Based AMD, this is so smooth. Like velvet.

I'm upgrading from my shitty 1050. Should I buy 1070 or 1080? Going by the benchmarks there isn't much difference but I'd have to pay $150 more for 1080.

There is a difference between 1070 and 1080, but not much between 1070ti and 1080.
If you have the money get 1070ti or 1080 depending on custom cards and price.

How low do you need to go?
What socket?

I wouldn't call them people.

150mm
AM4

Was thinking of the noctumeme NH-L12S (146mm) but i am afraid the flow will be obstructed.

That's quite a lot of space, if the stock cooler is too small for you, you could just get a Wraith Max (assuming yor not going with the 2700x already).
The Noctua L9x65 is pretty good and there's a Scythe Shurkien that should fit that. I don't like side blowing coolers in mITX builds so I'd go with top flow.
Post your build.

I want to build a PC for my girlfriend who mainly plays Fortnite, Overwatch, and other zoomer games.

I already have a 1060 for her to use, but I still need pretty much everything else.
What should I get, would a Ryzen 3 be enough in this situation? Ryzen Apu?

Is cryptomining still fucking up RAM/GPU prices? Should I just get a pre-build?
Any good pre-builds if I do?
