newbie here, is this built good? if it is, should I just buy the components and start building? i feel like an idiot just buying them and not knowing more about computer parts in general.

John Barnes
Seems pretty good. But at that price point, it's better to just buy a rx580/vega56 or just a 1080 instead of a 1070. Also, should probably get a better ram for 15/20 bucks more. Not entirely sure about the ssd.

About to upgrade from a 55w TDP GPU to a 250w TDP GPU, is my PC going to be come a housefire? I'm concerned.
Carson Green
I have a taichi str4 motherboard that needs an extra atx 4pin connector to work. My psu has two extra 4 pin connectors but they are linked to the cpu connectors do the cable can't reach the extra atx 4 pin if I plug the cpu cables. Can I just buy an extension or something?
Are you sure you put in the right 4 pin? That looks like the 4 pin addition for the 20+4 pin ATX power and you should actually plug in one of the 4pin cables you're dangling in the picture. Or is that already what you meant? In any case, yes they make extensions for all this shit, Cablemod is a huge producer, they can give you any color you want.
Christian Ward
>Can I just buy an extension or something? Yes, as long as it's a CPU pin. Converters, on the other hand, can be sketchy.
Very mediocre. 1070 is massively, massively overpriced. SSD is not 3D NAND and thus also overpriced and likely crap. de.pcpartpicker.com/list/vjzrtg Cheaper yet significantly better.
>not 280mm Most cringe part of this, unironically
Carter Howard
>de.pcpartpicker.com/list/vjzrtg If you can't get that SSD in goosestepland, just get whatever cheapest 480Gb+ 3D NAND SSD is
Chase Evans
360 is better
Ryder Allen
It's a cable with 2*8pins(2*4 pins) not the 20+4
Cameron Sullivan
>Yes, as long as it's a CPU pin. Converters, on the other hand, can be sketchy. Alright thank you!

Buy the 2400G just to piss these two off. Shitposting aside I have one as an HTPC and it's pretty great. Will play just about anything for you as long as you're willing to go 720/768 for newer stuff and if you need more GPU power just drop a proper video card in later.
Justin Kelly
280mm is the optimal size where the radiator has a large surface area but doesn't need a hueg case. Ignoring thickness, the rough size of typical radiators is: 240 mm -> 280 cm2 280 mm -> 392 cm2 360 mm -> 432 cm2
A big jump from 240mm but 360 isn't really worth the hassle.
Juan Ward
These two even holy shit this is why I never post anything.
the Silverstone FT03 looks better imo, does it have to be an RGB build?
Christopher Ortiz
samefag, and how will he become CEO if was voted chief enginnering officer just today lmao. you also wouldn't make that kike keller a CEO because he designs CPU architectures. Absolute state of Rakesh Goldstein.
Jonathan White
I have no problem with him getting the 2400g, it's that damn 150w psu that's gonna limit him when you can build a micro atx system with 500w psu that will at least let you run a mid range GPU.
David Morales
Seriously though the APU sucks ass especially in Linux and you could get a cheap last gen i3+1050 to blow that build out of the water.
Michael Mitchell
>150W PSU oh shit I missed that what the fuck. Yeah you could do FAR better there, maybe drop to a 2200G or get a cheaper case to make room for a nice SFX PSU if budget is an issue.
Hes been chief engineering officer for a long time, now you are just making shit up
Mason Gonzalez
i like that case a lot but honestly fuck rgb. i don't see the point of housing a gay parade inside your rig nor the appeal of having your rig constantly lit up like the fucking skynet gonna pop out of there at any second
Samuel Jones
Retarded. If you want a 2400G shitbox get a HTPC
Brody Perez
>but doesn't need a hueg case. Most standard atx cases have space for at least 1 360 rad if not more, what are you talking about?
Josiah Lewis
2 large 140mm fans is quieter than 3 faster spinning 120mm fans. And the surface area is nearly the same. There is also the thickness. A 10% thicker 280mm rad is going to have the same fin area and at that point is straight up better in every way given the above.
280mm also tends to fit in more good cases. 360 is very limiting. Even if 360 fits your current case, you may wind up changing cases in a future upgrade and it would limit what you can change to.
That does look super nice for a class panel case.
The point of RGB is that you can change it to the color you want. Like there it's all red tone.
About to do a build with an X470 Taichi. There are people online complaining that the board doesnt read temperatures right. However, EVERY x470 board seems to have this issue and more if you Google.
The Taichi also had a problem with PBO but this was fixed in the latest UEFI that I got by emailing them.
Should I do a return for a different board or give it a shot?
>Each of these three new divisions will have their own leader, but they will all answer to Venkata "Murthy" Renduchintala, whom Intel poached from Qualcomm in 2015. Renduchintala is now also the company’s Chief Engineering Officer. Kys shill. Cope with the fact that 9th gen Intel outsold Zen+ already and stop talking shit
Dominic Scott
There's more to computers than specs, and intel dudes just don't get it, they see an 8400 getting close to an R5 2600 on benchmarks and say it's better, when for that money you're getting an Asus hero board than cna overclock better than that B360 that is locked and couldn't even OC if it had shit for VRMs, which it doesn't, 3600mhz ram on the AMD machine.
If the testers cheaped out on the board and ram to make it similar to the budget garbage system someone choosing the i5-8400 would make, the i5-8400 is basically a pointless chip to get in comparison.
Brandon Gonzalez
2600 is pointless since you get garbage performance unless you overpay for other stuff
Christian Fisher
Ringbus isn't for gaming, show us the 8700K benchmark to make it fair >32 cores vs 18 while AMD autoclocks to 4.2 Ghz
Compare a high end Z370 chipset board with a good vrm or whatever outrageous number they're on now, get fast ram, and the intel rig get's fucking destroyed on price to perf.
>Premium VRM Useless if youre not extreme overclocker
>Fast RAM Again useless if you cant use all that bandwidth
AMDrones buy computer parts just to show off big numbers and look at benchmark all days or something?
Colton Jones
>28 core on water cooling vs a 32 core on LN2, only clocking 100Mhz more Lmao, only 274 points more
Jayden Roberts
I know there's not much more gain by upping the speeds to high ehavens, but I don't get why intel dudes will compare a ryzen machine with a $250 board with an intel machine that has a $100 board and say the ryzen rig is not giving good price to perf, when you can get a b350 board for cheap with 2666 ram and be way cheaper overall.
Robert Harris
>NVMe are not for gaming; See "More" What about NVMe (with nvme speeds) with dram over dramless SATA for an extra ~$15. Does it worth?
The only "bad" thing is the Phison controller I guess, most SSDs I saw had SiliconMotion.
I'm ordering a Ryzen 3 2200G and a Asrock B450M Pro4.
Should I go for 2x8GB or 1x16GB?
I'll be upgrading the Ryzen within 6 months to a dedicated GPU setup. Is a 550W PSU good enough for a standard flagship Ryzen 5 and dedicated GPU? I won't be overclocking anything besides the memory to get it set at 3000Mhz
Carson Garcia
2x8GB for sure, that APU basically NEEDS that dual-channel RAM bandwidth.
