remove the gpu and that should be it really, unless you don't have your HDDs and SSDs secured with screws in which case remove those as well.

my advisor suggest i build my own pc for research (machine learning fuckery) never built before but this is what i've come up with for my budget of ~$1100:
How much memory do you need if you have like 30-50 chrome tabs? is 16 gb enough???
Hudson Kelly
I mean it depends on the game really. Wicher 3 on Ultra uses only 1.5gb of VRAM but it's a 4 year old game by now. Kingdom Come Deliverance with the optional HD Texture Pack installed eats about 3.5gb. Assassin Creed Odyssey needs 4gb, Shadow of the Tomb Raider 5gb and the newest Far Cry 5.5 gb when maxed out. All on 1080p that is. Vega is shit and I would never recommended anyone to buy that pille of trash but 6gb of VRAM can very well be not enough sooner than we expect because the devs don't give a single fuck about optimising their assets.
John Rodriguez
was looking into getting a super budget pc, I don't have too much money right now. I'm aware it will have lots of issues like not being able to upgrade most things and a power limit for GPUs
are there better options for a cheap prebuilt than the optiplex 990 or hp z400?
how bad of an idea is it to pick up an optiplex 990 or hp z400 for 90$~ and an rx 570 for 110$
for 180-200 USD depending on the deals I can find, I could have an 8GBram/i7/rx 570 PC, that seems like an insanely good deal. I have like a total of 250 I could spend on a pc right now, and I already have a monitor and a mouse and shit. is this the best deal possible for my budget?
Robert Lewis
depends on what tabs got. different web pages have different memory requirements. example: watching 5 twitch streams at once will use more ram than loading up 40 gelbooru tabs
Cameron Russell
Mostly Jow Forums threads, wikis and shit. I rarely stream. Also usually coupled with 2 Nox players, a photoshop, couple of paint windows and other stuff.
My system slows to crawl since it takes up my current 12 gb setup
Jaxon Kelly
Does it matter if the ram itself isn t triple channel configuration but I use 3 sticks of ram that are the same in a triple channel motherboards?
David Lewis
power supply is overkill. Take cheaper motherboard, power supply, case and use money for better videocard.
Michael Williams
>he ram itself isn t triple channel configuration Sorry, what?
Brody Bell
I have an x58 asus p6t deluxe mobo lying around and I wanna make use of it.
Robert Russell
If you're building it for gaming get more memory, at least a 1TB hard drive
Elijah Murphy
You know how that ram is marketed as dual Chanel, triple Chanel , quad Chanel and so on, I was wondering it that matters?
Blake Long
Which processor will do better with emulators for the next generation? Want to play some old wii/wiiU games in 4k.
Zachary Miller
>processor more expensive than GPU >HDD >no NVME >400 wat overkill >fancy case with shitty airflow
Samuel Powell
>Triple channel user don't do that, do either dual channel or quad channel. That means either 2 sticks or 4 sticks, if you do 1 stick or 3 sticks your RAM is going to be slower and it will affect performance
Well why is that, all the x58 fanboys say that the triple Chanel is what make the x58 mobos worth.
Blake Green
Now that 2080s are coming down in price, should i just bite the bullet and buy one or wait for Vega7? All the parts are here, just need a GPU.
Dominic Gray
anons
Charles Cook
good cpu + gpu combo shit case and failgate hdd psu is good w/ japanese caps and will give you headroom for more powerful components in the future. keep it.
Eli Bailey
no... it doesn't matter what the ram says. it's just ram
Nathaniel Jackson
dual channel is noticeably better than single channel, but the benefits of triple or even quad channel won't be seen unless you're using the machine as a server.
Aiden Harris
Recommendation from a xp gaming pc? I want something reliable with low tdp that can run xp and all the golden age games.
>The motherboard M.2 slot #1 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated with a PCIe-based M.2 drive, two SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports are disabled.
I dun get this...
Aiden Ramirez
>overwatch >that shit budget Yikes. Ok heres my tip for everyone instead of wasting money on shit games just save by pirating single player games and dont buy dead trash games like overwatch. This way you can afford much better pc that can run everything in 4k. I always cringe at you retards spending hundreds on games and then playing with your shitty 1050tis and locked i5s.
Jonathan Edwards
none of you faggots in the market for a 700 dollar gpu? you all buying 580s and used 1080s for 350 bucks?
Dominic Long
I'm only buying one game. planning on getting a better cpu cooler later where I can overclock it. supossedly all the rage is to overclock 2200Gs. I don't see anything wrong with my ram no u
Tyler Miller
Give me one reason to waste money on a piece of shit thats rtx or vega 7.
Because a PC needs a GPU. A really powerful one especially since that PC that is meant to run vidya at 1440p/60+/almost-ultra settings for the next 3 years.
I currently have a GTX 770, a 1080p monitor, couple of HDD and 620W power supply. I usually do heavy multitasking with chrome and a fuckton tabs + emulators. Also do some image editing, drawing and blender tasks. I rarely play real games nowadays. I only have a seanigger budget of 400~450 USD. Also I have a really old metal case.

>nvidia develops switch hardware >amd helps develop processors for sony and micro >??? JUST BUY RYZEN 3
Josiah Adams
What's a decent mouse? Every $30 mouse I've bought died after like 1-2 fucking years. It's always one small thing, like the mouse wheel fucking up or the sensor going haywire.
Nathaniel Taylor
please honestly. You really really shouldn't ever touch a pc if that's what your deciding to get. That's your budget limit and its the most atrocious thing i've ever seen. I would never wish it on my most grievous enemies. Please do us and yourself a favour and buy a ps5. No jokes and if your a troll good for you. I'm not communicating with you any further.
>here is me still using my budget $6 mouse 5 years later. You must be a retard with it's use.
Jeremiah Wood
Name one game worth playing that looks good enough to warrant playing in 1440p on ultra. If you want to play console ports just buy a console its much cheaper than any of those gpus.
Mason Diaz
the division 2
Jeremiah Brooks
It means unless you just want the form factor you're wasting your money on M2

Getting a new PSU
How should I test it so I know it works fine if I can't reach full load with my build?
Also that thing has a 10 year warranty but I'm fairly sure it can get dusty in that amount of time, how do you clean it without losing the warranty? I used to open these fuckers but now I bought a PSU that's worth something.
Jordan Ramirez
Can be run on 1070/1070ti which are 300$ at most I said worth playing
Aiden Martinez
Fuck me. Here's the build I did with that
What do you people recommend?
Benjamin Torres
See, this is where I would say "what's the point of it looking good if the game's gonna be shit anyways"
Nathan Gomez
metro exodus The Outer Worlds Minecraft 4k
Landon Morgan
Why would i build a rig, that is supposed to last me 3+ years(gpu) for games that are out right now? I want to play Cyberpunk too and all the other shit that is still years from release.
This, its 2019 and people are still dumb enough to play ubisoft games. No wonder they are also dumb enough to fall for rtx meme. I bet they also believe """""reviewers""""" which for some reason always get even up to 40fps less on their reviews than i do in games.
Cameron Gonzalez
stay below 60% max wattage under full load. so a 8700k/2080 build should go for at least 650-700w.
Easton Peterson
the division 2 will be great. it's the dark horse videogame of 2019. It will basically be borderlands 3
Camden James
Might as well then go for 2080ti because we have no idea when cyberpunk will be released or what kind of specs it will require. Shit argument.
Nathan Myers
I struggle to think of that many games worth a shit these days to warrant having to buy a nice GPU/CPU. I google benchmarks with the new hardware and from the same 15/20 titles, of which many run like absolute ass and aren't that good looking, there's maybe one worth playing
Landon Fisher
>metro exodus Yikes >the outer worlds Dunno about that but its nu-obsisian so 99% yikes >minecraft 4k Good game but lets be real minecraft in 4k lol.
Hudson Garcia
Aight. My build is not too good (I plan to upgrade to a Ryzen 3700X whenever that comes out). I have an i5 4460 and a RX570, I was told 650W was overkill but I went for that anyways, it was not much more expensive.
Nathan Collins
doom eternal Starfield Rage 2
Jacob Cruz
Yeah exactly my point. just dumb consumerist whores buying stuff thats literally 100% overpriced.
Easton Jones
1080Tis are 2.5 years old now, right? So can you think of a game that a 1080Ti barely gets 60fps at 1440p right now(with link to benchmark)? Because by the time the 20 series is 2.5 years old CP will be out easily and i don't think that a 2080, let alone a 2080Ti, will be too weak for solid 60fps at 1440p.
Juan Jackson
>That just means you don't do shit you idiot. Probably browse only browse Jow Forums and Facebook. I actually use my computer. true, I play with controllers. but it's the same with my work computer. The only time I had a mouse break was when i was purposely acting like a retard for a week and rolled the scroller up and down violently whilst waiting for pages to load.
Samuel Hall
>doom Vulkan ergo can be run in 4k on 580 >starfield Bethesda all i have to say >rage 2 Text book definition of mediocre.
It's good I didn't spend much for my GPU (125€ for a RX570 8GB), I don't have to care about this faggotry
Henry Miller
Alright then guy. You know what you can't do on a 580? Realistic virtual 4k pussy fucking realtime action. Get a scan of your favorite babe and gaze into the high def crevice with the power of mama sue's seven nanometer powerhouse vega 7
Julian Flores
that's a valid point and i'll give you that, but we were talking about games.
Gabriel Long
>pcpartpicker.com/list/qpBcLJ let me warn you that because that ram is so budget and obscure when you install it it may be running at a lower speed then what is rated on the box. like lets say 2400mhz. You'll have to go into bios and there should be pre-sets(I forgot what it's called). But you basically just select 2666mhz or 3000 or 3200 blah blah. if you want you could try overclocking the ram yourself and tightening timings provided you don't go over 1.5V like a retard.
Daniel Murphy
B350 won't work with that CPU, you need a B450. Don't know why that user suggested that.
Isaiah Morales
>high def crevice with the power of mama sue's I wanna dive into mommy sues higd def crevice if you know what I mean.
Wyatt Wright
>B350 won't work with that CPU, you need a B450. Sorry dude. This guys right. I havn't been around for awhile. B350's are for old ryzen 1XXX series sorry.
James Gutierrez
gottem based
Ethan Lopez
B350 boards will work with a 2xxx series Ryzen CPU. You just need to update the BIOS.
Jaxon Rivera
>B350 boards will work with a 2xxx series Ryzen CPU. You just need to update the BIOS. its more hassle than its worth.
Easton Collins
>You just need to update the BIOS Well yeah, obviously. The point is that isn't exactly practical when you could just get a board that's already compatible for the same price.
Daniel Walker
Soooooooo, you got nothing, huh? Thought so. Never post again.
Justin Diaz
Yeah, I'm just saying that they will work, not that it will be hassle free. If you can get a very good deal on a B350 board and a lower end Ryzen chip it's worth it, otherwise just get a B450 board.
