What's a good motherboard for a 9600k? I've always been terrible with picking out mobo's. Preferably not over $200 but if it has good features I'd consider it.
Anthony Ramirez
Get the 8700 unless you intend to OC, in which case get the 9700k. Otherwise kys
Luis Rivera
ok, so needs to be stepped up to a better cpu then?
Jaxson King
>750W Do you really need that much?
Aaron Smith
For Z390, just go blindly with the Aorus boards. They are the best this gen and they were among the best in Z370 get the Aorus Elite but really you can go with Asrock or Asus too, get whatever you fancy.
Luke Russell
doubt it, how far should I step it down?
Ryder James
Friendly reminder to comment on which picture looks best to you from these four. If you can also mention which monitor panel type you were watching the pictures on. You can also mention the reason you think one of them looks best.
Andrew King
Looks fine but remember the 2070 is only about 15% more powerful than the 2060. Make sure you get a non-TN Freesync monitor
No, CPU is fine. You picked a fairly mid range graphics card, so the R5 is a good pairing. Just make sure to get a freesync monitor

Parker Sanders
Gold is all you need, above that is not efficient money wise.
Jeremiah Bailey
not him but who cares faggot, he's getting it for $93. It's not like a 650W 80+ PSU goes for $60 or 70.
Cooper Bailey
roger that, thank you!
Jeremiah Cooper
Can't mate. No reason to buy better than gold.
Ian Sullivan
he could get better brand than evga housefires
Parker Ortiz
for high refresh rate, 2600 is not enough, if you don't believe me go look up some benchmarks on 8700k in games and 2600 in games with a 1080ti. Then look at the 1% frametimes or 0.1% frametimes.
Ryan Ward
4 looks best, 3 looks good too. I'm using my laptop
Hunter Morales
>OEM keys for just a few bucks Sure you can, buddy.
>and the 580 smokes the 1060 Yeah. That 580 sure smokes 1060 FPS-wise. At least I'll be able to play Witcher 3!
>Waste your money, I don't give a shit. Is this what they call when somebody has absolutely no case and goes full damage control?
I've replaced Seagate with WD. Is this what you guys jerk to here usually, right?
Your 860 EVO costs much more, buddy. Not sure where you're pulling your numbers from. Must be your ass.
That's the cheapest quality DDR4-3000 RAM, you incel.
Bottom line, it's literally $50-60 savings in exchange for a major headache of your life.
>8700k in games and 2600 in games Hardly comparable price brackets are they? Now compare to the i5.
Adam Peterson
Here's a budget build my wife bought for light gaming, what do you guys think for the price? Video card was obtained on ebay, and I think some of the parts were obtained for less because of an expired discount. She'll only be using it for some older games and Sims 4, as well as internet browsing and other standard stuff. Tried to help her match her case choice colors-wise with the parts as well, so it's probably not the cheapest she could have gone.
the guy asked for "1440p 144hz" He didn't ask "shill me a fucking 2600 that can't possibly deliver on high refresh gaming.
Dylan Hughes
Are you fucking DENSE? The 500gb 860 evo goes for $78 on Amazon which is cheaper than your $95 250gb m2 drive. Jesus, it's not my fault you're shit at shopping.
Thomas Peterson
>Sure you can, buddy. hey anons, let's laugh at this witless faggot who thinks you can't get a Windows key for
Thomas Miller
is rtx 2080 enough for most games at 1440p 144hz? or should i try and get a 2080ti just to be safe?
youtube.com/watch?v=XgLvgwm7msw >better and cheaper than the 1060 sure buy your 1060, it's faster right? I wish I could saw your neck open you frothing retard.
Elijah Jenkins
1080ti, 2080 and 2080ti should all fulfill the job in majority of games. with 2080ti being the best in terms of performance but usually costs a fuck ton You should look at the prices and see which one fits your needs.
Bentley Rogers
No such thing as an upper ceiling for 1440p 144hz if you can afford the 2080ti without feeling the pinch, sure, get it. Otherwise the 2080 is perfectly serviceable.
Nathan Jones
Now tell me what is the best modular 750w gold rated PSU.
Yeah bruvh, it's totally okay to buy Windows keys off kinguin/g2a/cdkeys when Microsoft asks for $190 from their own damn store for it. Nothing could go wrong, at all!
Nobody is laughing with you, bud.
Oh no! I can't play RTTR movie on my 1060 as well as if I'd owned 580! Oh the woes!
>Make sure you get a non-TN Freesync monitor If you like glowing, smearing and ghosting, then by all means get a non-TN panel.
Leo Cooper
you have to overclock the 2600 to 4.2 Ghz to get comparable performance to a 9600k. that will require winning the solar lottery and a great cpu cooler. go for a higher end cpu cooler within the $80 dollar range. either a noctua or even the h100ipro for cooling. Good luck. also you don't need a 750watt system. you should go for a 650. if you're planning on doing sli, then you'll need a x imstead of a b board.
Kayden Jenkins
What is you guys' DREAM build? No money restraints, no limitations because of availability or country or any external factors, just your pure unadulterated PC porn.
Hudson Wood
>you have to overclock the 2600 to 4.2 Ghz to get comparable performance to a 9600k. No you need to overclock 2600 to 4.2 (which most can't even reach) and use premium B-die RAM and manually tighten the timings to get compareable performance to 9400F A 9600k will have better performance in games than a 2600.

William Gonzalez
no need for the 212 cooler since its equivilant to the one it comes with. you should get a 1080p screen for this build.
Caleb Taylor
Another guy who doesn't know shit about motherboards here. Any particular reason the Asus mobos are so much more expensive?
Clearly you value buying a prebuilt over spending time getting better components from different places, in that case get it. It's not like it's gonna break down on you, you just get terrible value for your money.
Stop talking as if you're actually going to spend 20k on all that crap. Nobody needs the best gear. Nobody. After 1 year it drops in value dramatically. Learn a lesson from goldilocks, not too expensive, not too cheap. Just right.
Angel Gonzalez
Are Noctua NF-F12 good for quiet CPU rad fans? I want to replace one that makes a noticeable hum that appears to be electrical related
Why don't you just address the question that was asked.... I have more money than you could possibly believe, and I would like to get opinions from all corners of competence. I won't tell you where I believe this forum lies on that spectrum.
Looks pretty solid to me m8, just wonder if you really need 32GB over 16? Rest is spot on.
Christopher Scott
It's gonna make a lot of noise just get regular fans man. gee why's such a richfag asking anons about PC parts when he could throw a bundle and get an overpriced prebuilt with top of the line specs?
Leo Bell
Fine just the mobo is junk, get asrock or msi mortar/bazooka.
Matthew Peterson
Because I am interested in the topic, you disgusting person.
Bentley Ramirez
>It's gonna make a lot of noise but it goes down to 300 rpm...
Jaxson Wood
nice to have though isn't it?
A few people have asked me the same. Tbh I don't really have a reason, I'll probably drop down to 16gb. Anywhere you think I should spend the extra money?
Josiah Smith
Almost identical to my build man. Just I have a noctua cooler, be quiet PSU and mortar mobo
Asher Hernandez
You can get a 550 psu if you aren't going to do mail in rebates for cheaper. Everything looks pretty good besides the case and the motherboard and the cooling. You should oc to 3.85 ghz with a 580 Here is what I would suggest
You wouldn't get those premium fans to run em at 300, would you?
Evan Howard
>terrible value for your money You don't know what that even means, buddy. I've adjusted the pricing for parts to come from well known stores, added a "better" motherboard as per other user's comment, and set Windows price to 10$ manually to calm And this "better value" computer is over 300$ more that than exactly the same pre-built this all started with. 1060 is $100 cheaper.
Buy 3200 ram, buy a better motherboard, buy a 550+ psu and buy a used 580. Oh, and buy a new monitor ffs. What's the point in even building a pc with such trash? your screen isn't even console tier. I'm assuming your whole motivation is pirating? because otherwise...what the fuck.
Jackson Miller
drop ssd. get 2600x. get windforce version of 580.
everything else checks out.
Kayden Jones
get 3200 memory if the price is close enough.
William Torres
Clearly not interested enough to do your own research and come to your own conclusions before posting ITT.
It's largely because I cant find a decently priced alternative that doesn't go up to 1500rpm which my current fan runs at and I'm mostly interested in just getting rid of that hum.
Christian Lopez
Do you have any idea how cheap this all was? Of course you wouldn't understand my build. It takes a high IQ to see my power level, certain people on Jow Forums will be able to spot it..you obviously weren't one of them
It's over $300 more because you're buying overpriced shit from shit websites Amazon has the 500gb 860 evo for $78 and the XFX 580 8gb for $220 but you meme about Amazon like it's a great nuisance to buy parts from there, please give me a reasonable response to this because it smells like trolling.
Robert Butler
Like I said, but you are clearly incapable of basic reading comprehension - I was interested in what different levels of competence would describe as their different dreams builds. www.Jow Forums.org/g/ is just as i predicted, incompetent, but not even just in response - in every possible feature of the conversation. I would get a better answer from a an intern at one of my stores.
Henry Foster
>at one of my stores. you have your own computer stores? Why not ring up the wagie there and ask him?
Andrew Perry
Well time for the reveal. All four pictures are the same monitor, with just different ICC profiles that were calibrated for the monitor. It's a TN panel.
Hudson Moore
>I was interested in what different levels of competence would describe as their different dreams builds. I think you might legitimately have learning difficulties. Seek help.
