CPU
>CPUs less threads usually suffer lower 0.1% minimums
>X3430 - Bare minimal desktop/gaming
>X3440 - Light gaming(dGPU optional)
>X5675 - Good gaming & multithreaded work use CPUs
>E5 1680v2 - If you have a $2000+ and can find a good X79 motherboard
>E3 1231 v3 - Best value high-end CPU on a non-HEDT platform
>E5 2680v2 - best value multi-core HEDT
RAM
>Always choose at least a 2 stick kit
>8GB - Bare minimum/Light desktop use.
>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; cheap models usually low yield processor. Aim for factory OC versions for best performance
>use your due diligence with cheap MODELS ie MSI Armor (Mk2 is ok), Gigabyte G1/Wf, ASUS dual, and others w/ small heatsinks and low quality fans. They may be cheap, but won't get high boost clocks like better models
1080p
>RX 570/580/1060 6GB - standard 1080p 60fps+ options
1080p@144hz
>Vega 56/1070ti best value, Free/G-sync monitor highly recommended
1440p@60-75hz
>Vega/1070ti/1080/2070
1440p@100+hz
>1080ti/2080
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
>Always consider FreeSync w/ AMD cards
>START YOUR BUILD WITH A MONITOR FIRST, then make a build to drive it appropriately

wew ips shill really are worse than amd. Imagine being here 24/7 just to post that same image lmao

??? That's a really good deal. I wish I could have gotten that in the US.

Why no 4000 series Xeons?

>get a new vga
>suddenly headphones start picking noise when I move the mouse
Eh, wha... Is it the increased wattage? Still it doesn't go through the mb. Should I start lurking hpg for a dac?

It's a good deal for Europe.
I don't know for the US, 360€ is about $410.
3 games though

Fell for the vega 56 meme. Thanks fuckers.

Meanwhile my friend plays with a gtx 1050 and has no issues (besides obviously lower FPS). What the fuck? This is a strix and I’m fairly sure these are supposed to be some of the best coolers.

Ayy lmao
