I want that sticker but the webshop sold out. Can anyone hook me up?
Hudson Price
can someone recommend me reliable PSUs that are better than my no-brand one that just died?
Aaron Phillips
I am looking in upgrading, but on a low budget so all i can really upgrade right now is my processor, i have AMD A10-6800K and was going to upgrade Ryzen 5 2400g 11 + A320 + 8gb Ram. Pairing that processor with a GTX 950 yay or nay, i don´t really care for ultra 4k ultra high graphics, only consistent FPS
Isaiah Turner
You should buy SeaSonic because that is your only way to get a good psu that isn't a rebrand. You don't want to support lame gaymur companies like Cockair or EVGAY right?
John Cook
seasonic focus plus gold or be quiet pure power 11
Landon Mitchell
I payed for mine when it was in stock. It never arrived. Sometimes I still imagine a thieving cunt of a postman opening it, thinking it's money. Then throwing it in a bin. Makes my blood boil.
I'm looking to spend perhaps 100 to 200 €uro on a GPU. I'd like to keep my build semi-passive and 100% AMD, so I'll get an RX something. Will a RX 580 be bottlenecked by the CPU?
Don’t worry about the brand unless it’s clearly some bullshit garbage brand. Make sure you get one that is certified. Bronze, silver, gold, platinum. If you get anything not certified, it’s a bad move. Spend as much as your peace of mind is worth. It’s unlikely that any of them will fuck up.
Adrian Nelson
>Will a RX 580 be bottlenecked by the CPU
I believe so. No way of knowing without testing.
Aaron Roberts
I ordered one of those toaster things and it never came
Adam Torres
Same. Scamming bastard.
Nolan Wilson
It's been over a year now so yeah
Christopher Morgan
can you get better mb/vrm temps if you remove the back of the case panel to let it breathe?
Lucas Williams
>pcpartpicker.com/list/hWz39J >amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2HH7G0 >1070 ti Anything wrong with this build? The filters are there because I don't really know what to look for in those parts. Also, any other display suggestions are appreciated.
If there's too much breathing you have no pressure for your fans to do their magic but if it's cluttered in your case that might be better
Aiden Flores
but it's the back of the case? Isn't there not much room anyway?
Leo Morris
Considering a 1070 ti; unsure if i should just get a 2070 or get a 580 for 200 and wait until next year when navi gets released. Then buy a beefy card.
Isaac Ward
Locked into Haswell since Venezuelan and poor. Is it better to get a G3258 or an i3? The former overclocks like hell but lacks threads and AVX/AES instructions. l'm mostly going to play old games, including PS2/GameCube emulators. Might convert a few videos, nothing too heavy.
Looking to upgrade from my Cooler Master N200 to a new case, should I get a Corsair Air 240 or a Fractal Design Define C Mini? I'm mostly looking for something that allows for easy cable management, and isn't flashy GAMER RGB TEMPERED GLASS bullshit.
Hi, I'm making a new build and unsure what gpu to get. Thinking of a 1070 ti; but I dont know if i should get a 1060/570 and wait until next year's gpu ? Any ideas.
Joshua Wilson
already? 980 is pretty old
Jayden Thompson
Only if you're at 1440p.
Eli King
I'm not even getting 60fps on a ton of games with a 980. Shit I'm lucky if I get 30 frames on Warhammer II when there is 4 armies in a battle.
Moar architectures = better, don't you want those 1% gainz?
Zachary Gutierrez
>tfw just got an open box RX 570 for $100 >tfw it works perfectly >tfw I don't even think the previous owner turned the fucking thing on, it's basically perfect except missing the peel-off plastic
Feels pretty good bros. Replaced my 970 with it since it bit the dust.
Liam Watson
Are Gigabyte Windforces bad?
David Lopez
yes, but ymmv
Cameron Foster
no
Nicholas Brown
what gpu to upgrade from a 970 for 1080p?
Evan Collins
CPU is kinda old, but the GPU is still nice. My previous build was fx6300 + 750ti, worked decent on 1080p gaming.
Grayson Fisher
Why is the 2070 cheaper than a 1080? Is it actually worse, raytracing aside?
Daniel Allen
Do you really need an upgrade for 1080p?
Asher Harris
Same performance, 1080 costs more because the supply runs dry.
Aaron Campbell
970 is still half-decent for 1080p. At least a 2070 if you really wanted all the AA and eye candy and more consistency. Anything less wouldn't be much of an upgrade imo.
Jacob Walker
>Why is the 2070 cheaper than a 1080? The 1080 is no longer being produced. >Is it actually worse, raytracing aside? It is actually better, raytracing aside.
Why would the 1080 cost more if its worse, even if the supply is getting low? If the 2070 is better and cheaper, that would just drive demand for the 1080 down because people would just get a 2070 instead.
i'm trying to build something for my parents. will be used for browsing, printing, scanning, picture/video viewing, basic stuff no gayming i have everything picked out, just need a power supply pcpartpicker is telling me my power draw is 69W but most PSUs i see are in the several hundreds do i need some sort of buffer or can i get away with say a 200W PSU?
Does anyone know if Zotac 2080 use the Nvidia quality board?
Anthony Young
You could consider getting a SATA SSD instead, if you use a google express code you can get a Samsung/Sandisk 500GB SSD for $60~.
Also, please don't buy Windows 10. Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with it, if they don't intend to hook up tons of hard drives you'd be fine with a very small PSU.
Thomas Long
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Joshua White
Because they are now a limited commodity.
Right now, you can purchase an ancient SSD at an insane cost per GB. Why? Because there's a grand total of 50 left in new condition in online retail. You want that crappy MLC with an jMicron controller that stutters like mad and has no SLC cache, you can have it for a premium. It works that way for old GPUs too.
Jose Long
i'll look for the deal. i don't and they don't plan on adding anything else to it so i'll look for a small one then. thank you
Lucas Phillips
Do you think ~ a year from now will finally be an actually good time to build a new PC?
Brayden Brown
pcpartpicker.com/list/VK4zRJ yer a lil dumbo but here you go, 50% more performance and a decent integrated gpu for 70% price
Asher Jenkins
>Because they are now a limited commodity.
But there's a superior alternative, and it's not like video cards are collectors items.
Cooper Gutierrez
>, and it's not like video cards are collectors items. They become so when there's so few in the channel.
Parker Wright
i was avoiding that processor because almost every combination of motherboard gave me that out of date bios compatibility issue which i didn't want to deal with thank you!!
Austin Ward
GPU seems expensive, but otherwise seems fine. A 2700 would be better for gaming, though, than the 1800X.
Don't get a CPU without AVX. It's required in some cases.
You don't need NVME SSDs, you can get by with a slower CPU as well.
This build omits Windows 10, and the DVD burner. With them included, the cost rises. The extra CPU and GPU capacity added would be wasted.
Asher Williams
>i'll look for the deal. It's pretty good, 20% off up to $20 max, I just grabbed a 860 evo 500GB for $63 the other day. M2 is easy to deal with, but if you don't want to put in another drive for a good while, double the space is always good.
Also, I was going to suggest the ryzen alternative like , just add the disk burner.
Lucas Martinez
seriously drop every part in your original list and swap over to the one i gave you, its a straight upgrade, but keep in mind this setup doesn't have a optical drive, its a waste of money unless your parents are still using discs
Chase Martinez
whats the point of buying windows for home use, ever
Brody Nguyen
I recently bought a 144hz and I love it. Problem is my CPU and GPU are both garbage for it. I was thinking about building a new PC. My question is, do I go 8700K + 2080, 9700K + 2080 or is there anything in the foreseeable future that will be worth waiting for?
It's a fair point. I've replicated your build with the omission of the DVD drive and Windows. pcpartpicker.com/list/CJyh8Y
You now have a computer that will perform, from the perspective of someone who is using it for word processing, identically. And you saved yourself $54.
>1600 >1060 6gb >garbage Wtf games are you playing
Andrew Morgan
yeah thats perfectly fair if you want to squeeze every penny, i tried squeezing performance with the same budget considering user was pretty set on spending that amount
Jason Wright
Ryzen won't run much 144hz at 1080p. It's single core performance is truly abysmal. Old School Runescape, a web based java game from early 00's, can't even hold a steady 50fps in fullscreen mode with Ryzen.
Jack Allen
You evidently didn't, since you offered him a cheaper machine than his option, and could have given him even more power for 100% of the price.
in any case, the builder lacks the expertise to judge what his budget ought to be for the usage case at hand. You, as someone who knows better, should explain that on an SSD, even a low-end, budget CPU, such as an Athlon 200GE (which would save you $34), or a Celeron 4900 is more than sufficient for basic tasks, rather than functionally upsell him on something he doesn't need.
Cameron Perez
my bad i guess eh
Nathaniel Morales
Going to upgrade my processor with a Ryzen 5 2600, i am in a low budget so the two Motherboards im looking at are a A320 and a B350, would i miss out on a lot if i go for the A320? i heard the B350 allows overcloaking but i don´t really do that anyways.
Jordan Gomez
pls respond
Easton Hall
Its fine.
Dominic Williams
Can you even PBO on an A320 board? I know it's a feature on the chip itself, but still.
>paying 1440p 144hz IPS prices for a 1080p non-sync TN. >unlisted 1070ti
pcpartpicker.com/list/fwyh8Y i guess this is the cheapest it can get while not dabbling into shitty part territory, save for case and lack of the meme know as ram radiators
Connor Gray
>imb4 there must be something wrong with your setup, mines works perfectly since no amdrone as reply to this yet.
Xavier Watson
Yeah, I don't currently have a great understanding of the distinction between different monitors aside from the obvious things like resolution and refresh rate, and I certainly don't have a good handle on what is a reasonable price to aim for atm. That's why I said any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
Also, the ti is the evga super silent edition or something. It was pretty cheap a couple weeks ago, so I grabbed it. I put a fair amount of research into it, so I feel decently comfortable with it.
Andrew Lee
If you're buying a R5 2600, get a B450 instead of a B350. With a 350 you'd need to use a 1st gen ryzen to upgrade the BIOS first in order to be able to use the R5 2600.
Jackson Powell
Huh look at that you are right, the fuckers i am looking at are selling a "combo to upgrade" and it includes a 2600 and a B350
Aaron Mitchell
You have to understand that less than 144fps on a 144hz monitor is going to have microstutters without adaptive sync. 60fps on a 60hz monitor looks far better (smoother) than 60fps on a 144hz monitor does.
With a 1070Ti, the best option to avoid paying the Gsync tax is to just go for 1440p @ 60-75hz.
Some b350 boards have the BIOS update from the factory.
Logan Richardson
it's true, not even half life 2 runs with 60fps
Luke King
I see however this place im checking actually has the B450 cheaper than the B350 for some reason so ill capitalize on that
