CPU
>CPUs with less than 8 threads have trouble delivering a consistent 60fps+ in some games
>Athlon 200GE - Bare minimal desktop/gaming
>R3 2200G - Light gaming(dGPU optional)
>R5 2400G - Consider IF on sale
>R5 2600/X - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>i7-9700k/8700k/8700 - If you have a $2000+ budget
>R7 2700/X - Best value high-end CPU on a non-HEDT platform
>Threadripper/Used Xeon - HEDT

RAM
>8GB - Light desktop use / if you don't mind closing web browser to free up RAM for games
>16GB - Standard amount
>32GB - If you have to ask, you don't need this
>CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 2933MHz+ is ideal. Check "more" for true latency formula

Graphics cards
>RTX 2000 cards are worse performance per $ than previous gen
>Avoid cheap MODELS ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS dual, and others w/ small heatsinks and low quality fans
1080p
>RX 570/580/590 w/ Freesync or 1060 6GB - standard 1080p 60fps+ options
>1050 3Gb or RX560 4Gb - lower settings and/or older games
>Vega 56; 1070Ti if you already have Gsync - for higher FPS w/ a high hz monitor
1440p
>Vega; 1070Ti if you already have Gsync
>Waste money - for higher FPS w/ a high hz monitor
4K
>Upscale from 1620-1800p. Or 2080Ti, but awful value
OpenCL use
>Vega 64

Storage
>Backup before using StoreMi
>Consider a larger SSD (better GB/$) instead of small SSD & HDD
>2TB HDDs are barely more $ than 1TB
>M.2 is a form factor, NOT a performance standard

Display
>Consider 75hz minimum; 60hz are mostly old models
>Always consider FreeSync w/ AMD cards
>START YOUR BUILD WITH A MONITOR FIRST, then make a build to drive it appropriately

>Got suggestion for the monitor?
Vega + amazon.com/LG-32GK650F-B-Monitor-FreeSync-Technology/dp/B07FLGR2PN
Or if you really want the 1070Ti, then pay $200 more for the Gsync version of the same monitor. Or just get a 1440p@60 monitor.

how come mom lets you have 4 noctuas?

are the coolers that ship with Ryzen cpu's any good?

I'd rather keep the 1070ti and would prefer a 1440p monitor

is there hope for cyber monday or will christmas offer good sales too?

>pajeets are so cheap they can't be assed to get a 20 buck EVO 212

Decent for stock coolers but a better aftermarket cooler is recommended, especially if aiming for a silent rig.

So pay $600+ for a Gsync 1440p 144hz monitor that's not a TN or get 1440p@60, then. What's hard to get?

They are fine for stock. Or slightly above stock, depending on ambient temps and case airflow.

Because I have to cool this Skylake-X refresh.

Repost from last thread. As someone who it too much a brainlet to overclock something correctly is this an acceptable bundle to go with my 1070ti ?
