This is my current build, I want to upgrade my monitor and maybe use my current one as a second monitor for browsing and stuff. I am sick of getting screen tears and fps drops in games, what monitor should I get?

Nicholas Adams
Sorry forgot to say, it's for gaming. Budget >1600
Jason Smith
And again 1609
USD*
Evan Gomez
used 2700X with no cooler, no warranty and no invoice, won on the GamesCom last year for 245€ y/n?
Isaiah Cox
Depends on how abused it was
Luke Watson
>no warranty >no cooler Hell no.
Lincoln Harris
>AMD shill OP >has pic showing AMD getting btfo by intel What did he mean by this?
Hudson Wright
I was wondering that myself. Because its not accurate? So ironic? Is that irony?
I dunno
Adam Rogers
>1440p >a good CPU test Pick one
Alexander Wright
according to the guy it was used 5 days on gamescom for a show case, no overclocking and has been collecting dust ever since.
I would replace the cooler anyway since I plan to overclock it and did you ever have a CPU fail on you? even my longest running cpu had the mobo, gpu and hdd die and survived them all.
the current market price for a complete 2700X with warranty of ~2 years and cooler is 270-290€
Jack Myers
If that's the price for a new one, grab a new one. Fuck that noise.
Ayden Howard
Anyone?
Ian Moore
Around what modern(ish) CPU is the equivalent to a 2500k @ 4.6ghz? Just curious.
thats the price for a used one. new one with 3 years of warranty and division 2 costs 315€ + shipping
Christopher Bailey
should i upgrade? my rig is about 6-7 years old now. rocking an i3 with 7000 series radeon gpu. i just play r6s and now apex at 1080p60 with low-medium settings. thinking of streaming for fun too.
was thinking of r5 2600x with rx 580 8gb vram and 16 gb ddr4-3200 ram.
Nathan Young
This, we need 480p benchmarks to compare 365 fps vs 355 fps
Not that amazing when you consider the CPUs in current gen consoles are barely faster than last gen. Though it is pretty amazing most titles aren't completely garbage ports.
How do you calibrate a monitor? I want to change the Brightness 50,80,100,120,200cd/m2 levels but I cant find them on the monitor menu. I have a dell s2417dg btw
Samuel Parker
RAM amount is directly proportional to your usage. If you hit the pagefile then get more RAM
Owen White
Enable manual fan control in the setting menu
Julian Ramirez
I'm too lazy and retarded to build a PC, I'm gona buy this build, is it a good deal?
Would an asus vivobook with a ryzen 5 2500u be a good laptop ? Theirs one for 650 cad
Owen Gomez
If you must buy a prebuilt, at least get it from iBuyPower. They show the full specs and you can customize what you want. Store prebuilts are so damn trash, they don't even tell you the ram speed, Mobo, PSU, or even what cooler it has. For all we know they cheaped out a fuck ton those and you end up with a PC that performs worse due to throttling and crappy components.
Ethan Edwards
Now that's a shit deal if I've ever sen one. I hope you don't actually think you should buy this, where is this even from? media markt?
David Barnes
r5 will be good for streaming, 16gb 3200mhz is also pretty damn good. 580 is going to be enough for 1080p 60hz, but you can also check for used cards, some pretty good deals too
Robert Brooks
You can build a 40% more powerful pc for the same price
David Rivera
Looks good but I don't know about that ssd. Why not a 970?
Julian Young
I can't find it. There's nothing in the other menus either
FPS drops have hardly anything to do with your monitor. Screen tearing can be get rid of with a nice monitor with adaptive sync though.
Adrian Sanders
pcpartpicker.com/list/GjgZmq I have a gtx 1060 3gb, and a hdd and 2 ssds. What should I add or change? I plan on getting a gtx 2060 in a month or two so my 1060 will stay for now.
Grayson Reyes
Quite a bit actually. I'm not saying the crucial is bad, it's just their first NVME drive and I haven't heard much about it yet.
>That is just a personal choice. Personally, I'd recommend the opposite. >a 1.5k graphics card will last longer than 3 years usually I specifically recommended the strategy based on predictions about the market in the future, not the past. Gains in ray/path tracing are going to be rapid compared to recent rasterisation improvements and market conditions are shaping up for prices to fall far more quickly than they have during the shortages of the last few years.
I have that exact ram in cl14. Good shit, and can be tuned with ryzen dram calculator for even more gains. Also bear in mind the stock cooler is fine for stock clocks, but any serious OC will need a better cooler. Pbo/xfr is better than manual oc anyway
Parker Ward
When is the 3700x most likely to come out? Let's put our brains together and think about this.
You can get better PSUs for cheaper. If you don't need wifi you can get a cheaper board too but if you do then not much choice. 8/10 similar to mine
Lincoln Campbell
Congrats on wasting $700 because you care about brands.
Cooper Powell
Are there any reliable rumors/leaks about Navi?
I've wanted to do a build with a CPU and CPU of the same brand for so long. I just need AMD to get their fucking GPU shit together, and make something like a GTX 1080 for an amazing price or something that's better than a 1080 Ti, for me to be able to justify buying a GPU from them.
I'd like to be able to push 100-120FPS on a 3440x1440p monitor, while also going with the same brand for CPU and GPU for AESTHETIC.
Brody Hughes
I voted for May because I'm trying to be optimistic and really want to do a new (hopefully full) AMD build for my birthday. Although, I doubt Navi will be out around the same time or before Zen 2, and Radeon VII looks like a bad purchase for only video games.
Charles Jones
Seems like a nice meme to me
Robert James
I'm holding my finger on the trigger on a 9900k system and I'm also considering waiting for either the 3700x or the 3850x.
How likely is it that the 3700x will outperform the 9900k in gaming?
Nolan Flores
Is Ryzen 5 2600 good enough for streaming or will I need to shell out for Ryzen 7 2700?
Jason Torres
Sony's funding and working with AMD on Navi for the PS5. It's going to be 4k 60fps plus ray tracing and it will be relatively cheap.
Blake Miller
I have a 1600x. Is it shit now 2 years later?
Noah Myers
>How likely is it that the 3700x will outperform the 9900k in gaming? Considering AMD showed a CPU at CES that isn't even fully finished our perform the i9-9900K, it's guaranteed.
The best part about that is, there's a lot of credible leaks that indicate the CPU that AMD used to barely beat the i9-9900K is not only slightly better, while requiring slightly less watts, BUT it's also likely a Ryzen 5 3600 or 3600X that they managed to do that with.
Fuck, stop giving me realistic information that drastically increases my hype. I want to believe so fucking bad that you're right, but AMD's graphics division keeps disappointing.
If I can get a Navi GPU that's more powerful than a 1080 Ti for less than $700, I'll fucking cry tears of show.
Aiden Jackson
That was a synthetic benchmark utilizing all the cores though. How many cores did the AMD CPU at CES have?
Gaming will benefit more from high clocks on fewer cores.
Ian Thompson
>buying Nvidia
Driver hell is real on linux, gaymur pleb
Justin Davis
Even if the Ryzen 5 3600X is slightly worse than the i9-9900K for video games, it's going to cost $250 at the most. That's a slightly worse performing CPU in video games for half the price. Only a man child Incel shill would act like that isn't a big deal.
tears of joy.* Jesus I can't type for shit.
Nolan Hall
check if it has the proper brackets for am4, otherwise it's gonna mount sideways. it's not the absolute best but still pretty good, slap a 2nd fan on it for better results
Aaron Wright
>How many cores did the AMD CPU at CES have? 8-cores, 16-threads. Which is what the Risen 5 line is supposed to move to. Ryzen 7 is supposed to be 12-cores, 24-threads.
So the Ryzen 5 3600X will likely be the best or second best (second to i9-9900K) CPU for video games, at only $200-$250.
Hunter Watson
They only disappointed with the VII because they are so confident about their future stuff and they're happy to lower expectations now and blow everyone away at the end of the year. VII is literally a canceled project that they decided to release anyway to give more time to perfect Navi.
Ryan Clark
That's what I've heard from the rumors, but AMD also fucked up with Vega, and they never managed to release a high-end RX 500 series GPU. They haven't been able to release a decent high-end GPU at decent price for, what, over 4 years? That's extremely concerning.
Wyatt Ortiz
No sense releasing uncompetitive stuff when you can go all out focus for something 5 years down the road that can dominate. Zen's just coming together now, hopefully Navi is the same.
Do you think you'd be able to stream Apex Legends with this at 1080p with a 60Hz monitor? I already have a case, PSU, storage. Would you say these brands and parts are of good quality? Any bottlenecks or imbalances in the parts chosed?
Liam Allen
The drone cope here is hilarious. They still think amd will deliver something good after 5 years of disappointment. You say the same shit every year, just stop.
