Sick digits, my dude. Too bad you are not recommending Vega 56 despite the recent price cuts.
Christopher Jenkins
I'm thinking of getting a 1600, 570 8gb, with 16gb 3k ram (vengeance). My budgets 700 Brexit biscuits and that's for everything except a desk. My plan is to game and stream 1080 shit. Anyone got any recommendations or would it be a sensible build?
Asher Sanders
Would be an ok build, if it was 2017.

RX570 8GBs aren't goming down any further below the ~$140 mark, are they?
Camden Cooper
Seems alright, if you can try and squeeze 3200 RAM it would be a little better
Dominic Brooks
I'm not bothered when the parts came out.
Camden Price
Does anyone have first hand experience with an FX8350 paired with an ASUS M5A97 R2.0 board setup? Will the motherboard bottleneck the cpu at clock 4.0ghz speeds with the appropriate bios version (1006)?
Carter Clark
How poor are you?
Aaron Wright
I ran an fx 6300 on a dogshit 50 dollar mobo and oced it to 4.3ghz for 2 years and then it degraded badly

I don't know if this is a question for the stupid questions thread, but what the fuck is b-die ram?

Is it already time to buy a 2080/1080 ti? My 1070 is struggling at 1440p, so I'm guessing I can sell it for around 300€ and then get buy 2080. I'd also like to get a 144hz 1440p monitor some time later as well. Is a 2080 worth it? I'm not in favor paying 700€ for a GPU but I am very much in favor of owning a top-tier GPU that can handle everything that you can throw at it for years to come. I'm still seeing people that ask 600€ for 3 year old 1080 ti's. Would something like that be a better choice?
Do I buy a gsync Do I sell my 1070ti and split the cost difference of freesync into a radeon VII Do I not give a shit about meme tech and use a freesync on a nvidia card?

>1440p meme don't we all strive for something greater? Don't tell me you're playing on a 24" 1080p monitor. Are we in 2012? I do, actually. Playing at less that 80-100 fps feels a bit uncomfortable for me.
>same PPI >don't have to move neck to see parts of the screen >filles field of view perfectly >saves tonnes of money Yeah man 1080 is way worse goy, don't forget to buy the new 2080Ti for only $1299 so you can enjoy one year of playable frame rates :^)

Man my fucking hometown's postman was this really nice autistic guy that would show up at my house every fucking day at 12:35.
Leo Ward
I'm the guy asking about the monitor.
I am using a dell something 21.5 1080p I bought from staples as a clearance display for 90$ in early 2013.
I'm looking at new monitors and a lot of these 1440p 144-250hz 27-32" curve screens are catching my eye because I mostly play 4x and space / fighter sims.
They're all the same shit, it's just marketing memes. Just look at how many CFM of air they can push without being obnoxiously loud.
Ethan Parker
>local microcenter is selling RX580 8GB top tier models for $190 brand new with 2 free games Tempted to buy one and sit on it even if I don't need it. Already have a 2080Ti. Always good to have spare parts. Turn around and sell the games for $50 each.

That's dumb. You're dumb.

Posting again from last thread: Is an Asus x58 sabertooth too old to bother upgrading? It was a budget motherboard in 2010 from what's I can find albeit a good one. I want to upgrade my graphics card to a 1060 or 1070 maybe? Looking to play games. i7 8700 core and I've got 8 gb of ram.
David Fisher
Bought i5 9400F for a steal, is the thermal paste that comes with the stock cooler enough or should I apply mor?
John Fisher
WHY? How are you justifying 190 usd for two games
Kayden Miller
>be me >27" 4k screen >play modern games in 1440p, everything else in 4k
It's brilliant.

How does it feel to get btfo by old ass consoles LMAO
I wouldn't worry about it for non overclockable SKUs.
Owen Bennett
Got it, thanks friend.
Anthony Gomez
Nobody cares about Intel products really.
Nathaniel Nelson
you should play at 1080p. you guys don't buy parts when they hit rock bottom prices? I've built/sold PC's for $300 profit doing this just waiting for prices to go up a bit. Most recent build was >Core i3-8100 - $90 >B250 motherboard - $40 >16GB DDR4 2400MHz - $72 >GTX 1060 3GB - $95 >EVGA 500w 80+ white - $15 >Corsair 88r mATX case - $22 >Crucial MX500 500GB SSD - $45 >WD Blue 1TB - $29 >Windows 10 Pro OEM - $120
All brand new stuff on sale/bundle deals. Sold the PC as "plug & play fortnite/CS:GO gaming PC" for $1100
What should i get? Nzxt Noctis 450 or Aerocol P7-C1
I like the aesthethics of the noctis, plus has more drive bays, the aerocool doesn't but has 4x2.5 and 2x3.5 bays, both of the cases are near the same price
David Bennett
>tfw didn't put post spacers on friends pc and his house burned down
I usually make case picks depending on what mobo because things don't always reach, which is retarded. I would get the Noctis 450 if you plan on running a loop and the P7-C1 if you're running air or you're a AIO pussiboi.
Jordan Roberts
for your use case no. NVME is only good for heavy work loads that can actually use the bandwidth. Games and Windows booting doesn't take advantage of that. So you'd be paying a price premium for nothing.
James Wilson
It would be good if you got a rtx 2060. If that's your budget you could drop the AM cooler ( pointless ) and drop down a 650w ( plenty ) and you'd only be adding 20-30 more dollars.

As well as a good quality B450.

Back from your ban? I'd hoped you were signalling your suicide with your last OP image
Adam Hernandez
Not sure if you're the same guy as yesterday or whenever, but I'd get an m.2 SSD. Also your monitor sucks
Xavier Brooks
no different guy,what monitor do you recommend? Don’t think I have the money to shell out on 144hz.
Can downgrade mobo to a 450 since youre getting 2600, not 2600x.
Consider M.2 NVMe. Get a freesync monitor. Its only like $150 for a 24” 1080p freesync and it will make a huge difference in percieved(which is all that really matter) stability of games since it makes it so much harder to notice when framerate drops occur.
Benjamin Howard
this can't be real lmao
Jaxson Parker
BULLSHIT. NVMe sliced my between scenes loading screens in Fallout and Skyrim in half, if not shorter.
Juan Phillips
What does it mean when my new computer turns off a few moments after I try to turn it on and then turns back on and stays on a second later?
Looking to upgrade my full set up to using a thread ripper and was wondering if the 2950X is worth the extra $300 over the 1950X and why.
Hudson Hill
Does anyone have any experience MSI's Optix monitors, or high refresh rate VA panels? Looking at Optix MAG271CQR now which is 27", 1440p, 144hz, Curved VA panel with Freesync support.
Should I buy a new KFA2 RTX 2070 EX or a second hand GTX 1080 TI from ebay ?
Cooper Myers
KEK holy shit, you got buttfucked by Jow Forums
Zachary Murphy
That's the motherboard attempting to correct an issue during initialization. Since DDR4 motherboards can automatically adjust DRAM settings so it might be doing that, especially if you've been trying to overclock it. Otherwise the board could be detecting some other issue like noise from some equipment you've got connected to it that doesn't deal properly with standby power or some shit. Or it could be failing. If it happens frequently run the usual tests - memory, CPU and GPU stability, etc.
Noah Hall
He said new computer. Most probably it's just the card running some initialization program or whatever. I've watched enough video of PC being build to say that it's really common.
If you wanna know more, google is your friend frien.
Xavier Howard
Would a 1660Ti be able to handle gaming at 2k/60fps? This is also with an i7 8700k
I'm considering just returning the 1660ti for a 2060 anyways, but I currently only have a 1080p setup. I'm not even sure if I want to upgrade from 1080p since anything higher just seems like a meme. The larger res would be nice for keeping reference up when doing art though.
I would always go with the newer tech especially because I know there are people like me who overclock stuff and void warranties by switching to aftermarket coolers and then switching them back for sale
Leo Turner
You will need 8GB of ram, consider a 1070, 1080 or 2070.
Yea but miners don't OC anything. It's a tough choice, the 2070 is the same price as a used 1080 ti and the latter have 10-25 fps more on any game.
Thomas Harris
This is true, in that case I guess it comes down to what type of games you want to play and whether or not you think turing is just a meme that will never be used or will have actual have a benefit for dynamic scenes. If it is more implemented in the next few years you'll be kick yourself for buying a card that's not as good and will break faster.
Brandon White
>gt 1030 lying faggot nobody here would recommend that
Anthony Reed
>He said new computer. So? New hardware can't have defects? I have an X58 board that randomly double-boots and it's done so since the beginning, for ten years now. Some defects are non-critical shit like this, the age of the hardware doesn't necessarily enter into it. But he should still cover his bases and test just in case it's something worth RMA'ing.
Henry Ortiz
amd isn't really run by a girl, is it? what the fuck.
Evan Long
Just pointing out that with your post omits the most probable answer and talks about possible issues instead.
Matthew Price
>You will need 8GB of ram 6GB is fine for 1440p, retard
1660Ti is a little weak for 1440p, depends on the games you play
Brayden Bailey
How? I mentioned the DDR4 automatic adjustment, which is exactly the cause of what you mentioned. Some people call it memory "training", which I personally find idiotic.
Jeremiah Perez
>6GB is fine for 1440p, retard For now, retard. How about making that investment last at least 3 years ?
Angel Martinez
Wow, get owned. The good news is that you could just replace the CPU with an R5 2600 and get a better graphics card and you'd be good to go
Andrew Murphy
Heh, I didn't know that this was the reason, nvm me then
Evan Lee
R5 2600 doesn't work with DDR3, R5 1600X are dropping like crazy on Amazon (sold by AMD) in my country tho.
Jace Martinez
>investment >a graphics card >investment Anyway 6GB will be fine at 1440p for the next three years. New consoles don't even come out for a year and a half, and new games that fully utilize new hardware don't come out for a while after that. Additionally, the PS4 Pro and XB1X will still be getting games, and they're billed as "4K" consoles. Use your brain instead of yelling about the sky falling, dummy
Logan Bennett
>nvm me then I would, but you're too big to fit in an M.2 slot.
Christopher Perry
Just answer the question. How much can I get for it?
Carson Bell
He already has DDR4
