im still rocking a i7-2600k with 16gb of ddr3 ram
and a 1050ti. should i get a 1070 or should i just give up and buy a new pc ?

Attached: pic.jpg (2048x995, 352K)

try to make an effort and fix that shit.

the 2600k is overclocked to 4.5 Ghz btw

Rust on my r7 1700(@3.9) and 1080ti gets sub 60 fps on my dual 1440p 144hz monitor on max settings. getting 70 on low.

Out of the following processors which one is the best suitable just for video games: 2700X, 8700K, 9600K or 9700(none K)?

If you can can wait for 3nm and DDR5 in 2022 or 2023 then get a 1060 or 580 and an SSD otherwise wait for CES and then decide on a new PC.

8700k

no... no one is that retarded

Pls respond!

just check that they don't block your ram or anything and choose whatever. both are great.

Why?

Is it true that you cannot get memory to run at high frequencies (2400+) when you use 4 RAM sticks with Ryzen?

OK, sounds good. I'll probably go with the nh c14s since the clearance is really generous and it'll match my other fans.

i want to upgrade my old i5 2500 sistem, when is it going to be the right time?

>iGPU benchmark
lmao

so is there any reason my keyboard and mouse work in my pc’s boot menus but not when windows starts?

If my graphics card supports 3 monitors can I use those 3 and the one on the motherboard for 4 screens?

Have you tried a different port?

yes. obviously needs an igpu

all of them.

Want to upgrade my brother's pc and with a budget of 100 dollars. He mostly is into emulation and playing randomizers after watching users play on twitch. Any suggestions?

Attached: specs_0.png (786x556, 36K)

tried to plug it in after you booted into windows?

Honestly I can't see much of an upgrade path without jumping to a new cpu and mobo which will cost obviously more than your budget.

do ryzen3, 5, and 7 processors all use the same kind of motherboard?

Wait for 7nmemes war at this point

That has to be the ugliest PC I've ever seen. Seriously, who puts fur on a PC chassis?

yeah. still didn’t work.

Not if he buys used though, I'd check Craigslist or ebay for parts

Which parts to be on the lookout for?

I know EVGA and ASUS stand behind their video cards, how is Zotac as a brand?

what is that?

a gpu which is integrated into the cpu

Because 9600k is only 6 threads 9700 is locked and 2700x can't clock over 4.3-4.4GHz

ebay.co.uk/itm/Rx-580-Sapphire-Pulse-BEST-PRICE-UK-4GB-GDDR5-TESTED/183588741675

what do you lads think?

Same socket yes

Go for it dude.

motherboard and cpu. if you want to jump to ddr4 (which you should because ddr3 is dead as fuck) also ram

I originally used the motherboard one instead of the graphics card ports for like a month when I first built it. Its a Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 CPU. Should that be fine?

>Should that be fine?
yes

What does this mean?

>It works perfect trust me!

I'm guessing either your cpu or gpu doesn't support cmos. Try running the usb with legacy boot.

Delete whats inside the drive

never pick ryzen for 144hz gaming you dumbass

60hz 1080p is good enough for me and i'd say probably for the rest of my life.

60hz looks so sluggish and nauseating once you try 144hz, i never knew ho09w good it was untill i tried it

based.

How does one boot into legacy?
Already did.

>buying shit i don't think i need
no

>9700(none K)?
>9700 is locked
9700 doesn't exist, only the 9700k exists.

Hey frends. Just got an nvidia 1030 ddr5, and it wouldn't fit into my sff dell inspirion so I cut a hole in it. It looks janky, but now this poorfag can play ps3 games.

by chance are you installing windows via usb ? if so remove the usb stick as i had this same issue

>your cpu or gpu doesn't support cmos
what the fuck did i just read

why the fuck didn't you use the smaller bracket? if it is a low profile card that shit is bound to be included

delete both partitions on disk 0, then highlight disk 0 and just press "next". alternatively, ditch windblows and install linux.

yes; all use AM4

If ryzen 3000 isn't good Imma buy Incel I swear

I mean any specific kind of cpu?

Huh, looks like that worked. Thanks.

Yay, that price is good.

whats the point of 1440p 144hz freesync if an amd card will never hit 144hz at 1440p unless its on low

I did use the low profile bracket, that's why I didn't cut the right side of the case. The gpu still wouldn't fit, it was the neighborhood of 3mm or so; that's why I cut open the top of the case.

Buy used. Less monay more soul = good for music.

>speccy says my CPU is running at 79C
>Hw info has it at 29C
>Motherboard BIOS has it at 30C
So which is it?

I'm tired. Forgot the exact term, but I meant to say a gpu that doesn't support uefi.

>he doesn't play competitive shooters like csgo
These are the games where having higher framerates makes an actual difference and any mid range card can hit 144 FPS in them. Whether you have 80 or 120 FPS in the new Assassins Creed game is much less important for the gaming experience, especially when an adaptive sync monitor is making the game run smoothly either way.

Speccy sucks. Don't use it

hwinfo and your bios both are right. difference of 1C is not meaningful. speccy is a lying piece of shit

>144Hz

The XPS 8500's are nice. I have a room full of them. They're quiet and they have a PSU that can handle any mid-range gaming card.

What's a better alternative for Windows then?

You gooched it, install gentoo.

Why the fuck ppl use speccy holy shit, it's even on the motherfucking OP

I just installed a new graphics card in my PC for testing purposes. This card will ultimately go into a new build but I just wanted to test it out before I get the other one up and running. It’s a cheap ASRock RX560. When I booted up the system, everything looked fine until the resolution changed when my desktop loaded. My entire system locked up, mouse cursor and everything as soon as that change happened. This computer only has a 300w power supply that came with the case. Could the GPU have exceeded the power supply’s capabilities and locked up the system? Or did I do something else wrong?

I wanna touch it

Depends on what you play. AAA modern games then no but older or indie games then yes I.e., Trine

A cheap mobo + cpu for ≈150? Upgrade from

if you're the same guy who's been asking the same thing for the past 3 threads stop asking. if you're not just know it's a common question and my patience is low so don't ask again.

How's this?

2200G + B350 mobo.

Ryzen better than Intel?

rate my luxury setup

Should i sell my i7 8700 (Non K) and buy an i5 9600K? I bought the i7 because it was cheap and I thought I didn't want to overclock but then I realized how retarded that was. I just want to game, I don't really need the 12 threads, and kf i sell the i7 I can afford the i5... Should I go for it /pcbg/?? I really want to overclock

>FedEx lost my new case 4 weeks ago
>reported as fucking still in transit

IF YOU LOST THE FUCKING CASE FOUR WEEKS AGO THEN TELL ME YOU FUCKING LOST IT YOU STUPID FUCKING FUCKS

DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS STUPID SHIT, GIVE ME A REFUND AND MORE FOR THE TIME OF MINE YOU WASTED

I WANT TO OFFER MY NEWBORN CHILD TO JEFF BEZOS. I WANT AMAZON TO BECOME A CTHONIAN DEITY MORE POWERFUL THAN GOD HIMSELF SO THAT WEAK AND UNWORTHY SERVICES LIKE YOURS ARE DEVOURED. I WANT YOU ALL TO SUFFER AND I DON'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS AFTER AMAZON BECOMES THE MOST POWERFUL CYBERPUNK MEGACORPORATION TO EXIST. DIE DIE DIE FOR BEING SO SHITTY AT THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE. PERISH UNCEREMONIOUSLY AND GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

Of course not, intel has a higher IPC and none of those CCX latency issues. But buying consumer grade 14nm skylake near the end of its cycle? Only people who don't have budget issues would buy into z370/z390.

Buying into AM4 allows an upgrade path through 2020, and is simply the cheaper alternative.

bait/10

and this is coming from someone with a 9700k

Is this case any good? Any recommendations for a similar price point? The free RGB keyboard+mouse thrown in looks nice.
