Buy Noctua products, sirs

Jaxon Hernandez
It's fine for 1080p as long as you aren't playing crappy AAA games.
Andrew Ross
pcpartpicker.com/list/HxR7xG Rate my shitty shit, this is all the budget I have for unpleasant reasons The GPU and PSU are left overs from my old broken rig, so they are subject to change when I can stop being a fucking poor ass man SSD is already taken into account
Chase Howard
the psu might be insufficient? this is ok for 1080p60 gaming, should max a lot of shit
James Gutierrez
remove the cooler unironically also wait for zen 2
Camden Gray
Yeah, I should buy a cosair or cool master of 550W but as said before, I'm current a poor man
Zachary Gomez
Pajeet can't afford noctua
Jace Morris
Just a reminder that Ryzen is utter trash in single thread (both the 4670K and 4790K literally obliterate it in any game or single perf task). Feel free to prove me wrong (you can't).
Ian Rodriguez
oi any monitor recommendations for 1080p 144hz under 200 more or less?
comboPI 1.0.0.0 is due in a few weeks. Regressions in the beta aren't that surprising.
Jace Johnson
>HDD prices went up while I was spending an eon trying to find a case Fuck cases and fuck my stupid requirements.
Josiah Moore
you already got a case right? cant you just wait a month to get the 500w power supply? that would even allow you to switch eventually to a better GPU wich is frankly not needed unless you also do a monitor upgrade
Asher Phillips
Intel still king.
Nolan Hernandez
>R5 2600/X - Great gaming or multithreaded use CPUs i5-8400 is cheaper and seems comparable. Why the AMD chip?
Looking to upgrade my 6yr old shit-heap so I'm just building a whole new mid-range machine.
Robert Moore
Mostly for the upgrade path. But if you don't plan on updating to zen 2, then the 9400f+ram+mobo combo is cheaper and performs better.
Eli Gonzalez
>Hdd obsolete, go full ssd
t. man without forskin
more bang for bucko and better platform and more threads and future proof/more usecases
Dominic Martin
>i5-8400 is cheaper and seems comparable. i5 is actually better with the same memory speeds and the K version wont have issues with low memory speed asides being overclockable to higher speeds and already capable of providing endgame 144fps on most high end cards
but you need a z board and a K processor asides possible water cooling solution so AMD shills just force everyone to ignore it.
Cameron Cook
I think I'm just being stingy, I can definitely buy the PSU along with the others, no plans in upgrading the monitor for now. Thanks for the suggestion
Ryder Sullivan
>obsolete, go full ssd Right, perfect for my NAS. Dickass.
Mason Scott
I don't know what I want to slap into this gaming/video editing on the side rig, all gpu's either won't be enough for 1440p 144Hz or they're overpriced to all heck, christ almighty building a somewhat higher end pc is disgusting nowadays.
just to be on the annoying side consider having a fan as intake and exaust, really helps prevent overheating on your pc
Camden Bennett
>he doesnt run full ssd in his nas
>building a somewhat higher end pc is disgusting nowadays. true not worth it at all
Wyatt Brown
Yeah, definitely already taking that to an account since that's exactly how my old rig got fucked
Anthony Wilson
>speciellt i sverige
Ayden Clark
I wasn't aware of the 9400f - that's cheaper again. Thanks!
I went 'big' on my last build (SLI GTX780) because I thought having ultra settings and a decent framerate was something I valued. Turns out, not so much. I don't really notice lower graphics settings. I won't be bothering with incremental upgrades - will probably do another whole new build in 3-5 years depending on how things progress!
Mason Lewis
Eh, not literally nothing wrong but all manufacturers are guilty
you dont need 144fps if you dont want a 2080, wait for navy memery or the rumors of 2070ti, wich should be more of your liking at 1440p a 2070 should provide something like 80~100fps
Evan Jones
Wait for navi, sirs

Matthew Ward
is a 100hz screen enough?
Carson Reed
enough for what? 100fps? then yes.
Thomas Hall
You will never get those numbers in your image in a real world setting. Again, Ryzen is awful in single thread preformance when compared to Intel. This isn't even debatable.
Josiah Gutierrez
what's wrong with extra cooler?
Zachary Thompson
are those even made? no go for 144+
Benjamin Lewis
if you're investing $30 into a low end cooler, might as well invest the extra $30-50 into a high end cooler that actually lets you OC decently.
Josiah Stewart
well i guess what im actually asking is is the difference between 100 and 144fps actually noticeable? moving up from 60.
Chase Fisher
If it's so obvious, post your proof.
Jayden Young
60hz is one frame per 16.6ms 144hz is one frame per 6.9ms
it's about a 10ms per frame difference, very noticeable for fast paced gaming.
Hell, if you know what to look for, it's even pretty noticeable just on the desktop moving your mouse cursor around.
Matthew Bailey
lol you first. I'm not debating anything, it's you AMD shills that scream when anyone says anything you disagree with.
Zachary Bailey
i probobly won't OC since i want for this build to last as long as possible (8-10 years) so i included cooler for extra cpu safety. Am i retarded for doing this?
Dylan Nguyen
>Ryzen is awful in single thread preformance when compared to Intel. This isn't even debatable. Modern 8th or 9th gen intel sure.
But 4th gen intel? Ryzen is near tied.
According to user bench, the 4790k is only ~5% faster single core than 2600x, and the 4670k is ~5% slower.
The denial is strong in this one You've been unequivocally proven wrong
Asher Collins
>Still posting the same garbage video from Nvidia Unboxed to make your point AHAHAHAHAHA
Evan Richardson
Yes, if you're not OCing, just use the stock cooler.
Colton Nguyen
I know it's called PC Building General... but can anyone recommend a pre-built Mini ITX small and kawaii system I can buy in the UK for gaming, for about £1000~? Or a list of components that will work?
Prebuilt? Not really, they mostly suck. Lenovo had one with a built in reciever for the xbox controller but it was overpriced. Overclockers UK claims they sell preconfigured ones but I don't see any mITX ones. Alternate.de sends to the UK afaik and you can custom order a PC and they build it for you but why bother with the extra cost for something this simple? I'd just order something like this and build it myself. It's a nice afternoon task. uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZLKvMZ You could also go with AMD which would be more practical especially in the long run but somehow cpus and motherboards are a bit overpriced over there.
Grayson Murphy
how small do you want to go? Small enough to warrant a short GPU? Small enough to not fit a real GPU at all?
Mason Wood
wow it bets a 7 year old intel cpu, truly ryzen 2600x is amazing!
Rate? This is my current build that I've had for about a year and a half (got some new ram). I'm thinking about switching to Intel because I primarily play games but I'm a poorfag, So Ryzen is good for me. Should I wait until computex before making a decision?
Adam Lopez
Also looking for some advice on potential upgrades.
Ethan Torres
your rig is shat upon by the 1700 get a 2700 and you should be able to do 1440p144 with little issue
Adam Wright
Computex is like 5 weeks away. Just wait until then.
Ryan Green
Yeah I started noticing recently with some of the games I've been playing recently.
Brody Cox
yea but which models are good like picture quality colors brightness etc
Isaiah Cooper
Your build is pretty much great as is. You might be able to a few more frames with Intel or a Ryzen 3000, but not many
Could be something else at play
Since I assume you're not going to be overclocking, either get the locked i5 or go Ryzen
It's just mediocre. Nothing really good about it
Why would you even bother posting that garbage?
Ayden Rogers
>Why would you even bother posting that garbage? to piss you off.
Now post benchmarks that aren't sponsored by Nvidia.
Josiah Watson
that's actually for someone else, I got the 2600x with a x470 the day it came out. I swallowed the nvidia jew though and bought the 1070ti because the 1080 was 800%+ and the 1080ti was 1200$+ at the time.
Is the radeon 7 worth it or should I just hold my nut for when they launch new cards later this year? I want freesync for this chink monitor I bought
>buy the louder and hotter 2600x for 1% gains lol no
Mason Campbell
>doesn't realize tha 1% makes all the difference
based retard, I'll frag you into oblivion. Nigger.
Matthew Parker
Pascal and Turing cards can all use Freesync now; Nvidia has given in. RVII isn't really worth it unless you want to play the undervolt lottery and you can find one for a decent price. Navi is coming out later this year, so if you've already got a 1070Ti, I'd just wait.
Jaxon Jones
I like the silverstone any other suggestions? I've never done a itx build but it's an old enough pc that I only use for gaming so turning it into a super console might be fun.
