You aren't inclined to wait for Ryzen 3700x and 2060 Super?
Ryan Hughes
Hello guys, im currently upgrading from fx-6100 and gtx 650 ti. Yes I know it's sad. I just got a deal to buy 1070 ti for 210 euros but there is no warranty and I'm unsure if it was mined with. I most probably go meet the seller and test it out though. Is it worth it right now or should I wait for the other cards to come out?
Jacob Diaz

Is this a joke that got deleted or do people already have 5700s for review?
So the same one with a Ryzen 3700x will do? Are the benchmarks out yet?
Nathaniel Brown
>Is it worth it right now or should I wait for the other cards to come out? It's worth it but check thoroughly. Also, it's going to be bottlenecked by your CPU.
>Should I upgrade from a 7700K? No in 99% of cases. Unless your doing rendering and it running parallel VMs, you're not going to notice any difference.
William Murphy
Yea I know about the cpu. Im waiting for zen 2

Didn't Intel cuck me though?
Liam Bennett
Dude you can spend about the same money for a much better processor if you just chill for 2 weeks.
Brandon Wright
Is RAM speed important for gayming? I have a cheap ADATA dual channel 2400 mhz 16 gb DDR4/
Gavin Wilson
They always do
Benjamin Johnson
So, Logical Increments has gone from a Jow Forums info graphic, to a website, to a website that has been sold to advertisers.
So what’s the new Jow Forums approved alternative?
Camden Thomas
is this good for gamin? (2060 will be the super version)
If you aren't interested in bargain hunting for cheaper 2700x and 2060, and would prefer to have the most up to date model in that product price bracket, both are getting updated replacements in July. Most (?) 470 motherboards will be compatible with the Ryzen 3700X, but they are also launching the X570 boards with it. Other than that I don't see anything wrong with your build although 256GB of storage doesn't seem like much at all. And while I can't speak for American dollars and shopping, but Amazon.com lists 2x8GB of faster (3200mhz) RAM for the same price. I've also seen SSDs of the same size as yours sell for 30 eurobucks.
Benchmarks for 3700x aren't out yet but they promise to be quite impressive. 2060 super is probably going to be a mild improvement, but it's an improvement.

Julian Cox
Can anyone rate this build please? Perhaps recommend improvements/changes?
replace 2700 w/ 3600 (or 3700) AIO's are a meme, get a good air cooler instead
Jack Bailey
thnaks
Carter Carter
can you recommend any good air coolers than the one i have there please?
Jose King
Bequiet Dark Rock 4 or Pro 4 then the usual Noctua stuff
but if you are running a 3600/3700 and dont OC it to the limit even the more generic single tower coolers will do just fine

Since there is no room, I had the genius idea to use a riser cable and mount my capture card on the outer vertical slot. However the capture card may contact the HB bridge and/or the heat pipes. Is there something I can use to prevent contact?
Buy a streaming PC to make that capture card useful.
Dominic Torres
Wait ten days for Ryzen 3000 (and X570 if you're buying new/full price). There won't be a 2080 ti super so you're all clear there. Consider C14 Ram. I'm designing a similar system to you but can't judge the price value. Guy in the previous thread said C14 was an important improvement over C16, and that 16GB was enough for gaming with multitasking. Benchmarks I've glanced at since have suggested it is, but it's basically twice the cost per gigabyte, and might be particularly pointless for Ryzen 3, which is said to be better with RAM than its predecessors. I would wait for the release date and research more RAM.
Ian Price
I was wondering what and where to get those plastic cardstock they use on electric power sources so I can cut a back shield for the capture card was one idea. I don't know what those are called and where to find them.
This is my capture PC, not streaming PC.
Mason Morales
>intel >streaming kek
Jack Kelly
you can just use a piece of cardboard to cover the pins on the SLI bridge and you are good to go or use tape like said
Brandon Walker
That'a what I meant, why do you need SLI to capture? Are these 780?
Brandon Butler
kinda shit, overspending on led meme
Elijah Sanchez
Is it worth it getting cheapest used a320m board to be used with ryzen 3600? I just want a rendering pc (blender internal). Money is kinda tight, if I can save $50 I will. I think I will run it only on stock. Also what's the best (cheapest) gpu without external power?
No company is allowing this pairing to happen. Maybe Asrock, because they're crazy when it comes to this.
t. has a LGA775 board that has a daisychained PCI Slot to AGP.
Cooper Bailey
Not a pro with intel mobos but this seems overkill especially since you won't be overclocking and will need another mobo if you change generation.
Luis Butler
>blender Sure if you want the VRM to explode within 5 minutes that's a great way to do it.
Camden Parker
I want the best 1080p60 experience, need ShadowPlay/OBS, upscaling videos to 4K with madvr/mpv on some occasions, and original Vive VR games (mostly consists of small unity based games but I still deal with frame drops, also only really play once a month)
I've narrowed it down to RTX 2060, but then I learned about 2060 Super and its "leaked" specs, then also considering the RTX 2070 itself if it price drops.
Yes I'll wait til next week to actually see what I should do but right now based of expectations what would be the best?
Gabriel Jackson
You have a ultra high-end Motherboard on a budget build, scale that shit down or the rest of it up
Anthony Gomez
Forgot to mention previous card is GTX 970 3.5 meme card
Elijah Lee
I've used AMD since 286 to 64x2, but they've fallen out of favor for the last decade and a half.
It is not just the bridge, it is possibly the bottom heat pipes as well. I am not confident they tape would continually be adhesive with all the ambient heat and heat from the components. I am afraid it would fall off on the vertical mount position.
I went with 980 because they were the last with DVI-I.
Julian Peterson
I see, a320m might be too much gamble. I guess I will go with cheapest b450.
Landon Taylor
Could it be because I’m looking for a MOBO with wireless capabilities? What exactly is making the MOBO high-end compared to others?
Justin Cook
get a used B450 instead, no 320s do ryzen 3000
Tyler Evans
Why not one without and get a cheapo wireless PCIe card that could last you several mobos.
Ian Thompson
>$239 >ultra high end bruh though it is overkill for this cpu
Eli Nelson
If you purchase a X470 board, how can you update it to work with 3rd gen Ryzen before asembling the PC?
Aiden Phillips
Some manufacturers like Asus have solved this issue with having the ability to flash the bios straight from the bios screen itself.
Carter Phillips
Get someone to flash it or buy a 200ge from amazon then return for refund once you're done. Only way to use a fresh X470 board for the foreseeable future.
do you need to mount the heat sink + cooler as well just to update the mobo?
Dominic Cooper
Not him, but what is wrong with EVGA? From my understanding they have always had very good and reliable cards
Jackson Cooper
is 3200 ram fine for the 3700x?
Dominic Roberts
It's not optimal. 3733c17 can be had very cheap right now.
Grayson Morgan
its two main competitors have yet to release wait
Benjamin Morgan
>avoid AMD if gaming intel shills out in force
Adam Watson
They have good and reliable RMA service for their shitty overheating cards lmao.
Christian Mitchell
3200 is good enough, you gain only 2ns from 3733 ram.
Jace Harris
anyway old thread dead so im asking again, hoping some enthusiast will give me proper advice
im looking for a case that can hold 4 480mm rads, last thread user said i should take the thermaltake core wp200. is it good? or a rattlecage? how is the quality compared to a corsair case? i have the 900d currently its kinda poor made.
The picture is a meme, i e not meant to he taken serious, while th3 text is factual, i e meant to be taken seriously.
Asher Cox
Get a better PSU.
James Garcia
Well I can get C16 or I can get C14 for twice the price. Also what do you think about 32gb versus 16gb? And how will DDR4 cards stack up when DDR5 comes out? Lower latency DDR4 isn't worth its price tag given the fact it'll inevitably be knocked off its perch by DDR5, right?
Easton Scott
>tfw still have my 2500K >still see no reason for an upgrade
Brody Brooks
C14 is not worth it considering the price tag on it. Just stick of C16, you will be just fine. If you just play games 16gb is the sweet spot.
