CPUs based on current pricing: >Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing, bare minimum gaming >R3 2200G - Light 30-60fps gaming (dGPU optional). >R5 2600 - Good 60fps+ gaming CPU; great value especially used >R5 3600 - midrange; good for all but the absolute highest end GPUs >R7 3700X - High end, higher FPS. 3900X/9900k is better in some games, but generally only with a 2080Ti @ 1080p. >R9 3900X - Gaming+Streaming/Extreme Productivity
RAM: >Do not use a single DIMM. 2 sticks ONLY for a typical dual channel CPU >CPUs benefit from fast RAM; 3200CL16 minimum >AMD B & X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP
Graphics cards based on current pricing: 1080p >RX 570/580 8GB - Can be found on sale for cheap. Look for 570s which are >1240MHz boost >GTX 1660 - higher fps or for more demanding games >RX 5700 - high FPS (requires complementary CPU and monitor) 1440p >RX 5700 - 75-100fps+ in most games >RTX 2080ti - Highest possible frames, but poor value 2160p (4K) >RTX 2070 Super OC - budget option. Turing performance scales better into 4K than Navi does. >2080Ti - best for 4K but expensive
>Navi launch drivers have issues, particularly with OCing. Wait for non-blowers if considering the XT. 5700 blower is fine, due to low power.

had these parts sitting around for a while now and i'm finally bored enough to actually build it. recommend me a board for overclocking the 8700k.
Angel White
>nobody discussing
Samuel Edwards
I don't wanna buy right now, do I have to fear the shops running out of 3700x in the coming weeks?
Anthony Scott
fuck jannies, fuck Jow Forums and fuck amd
Nathaniel Rogers
>recommend me a board for overclocking the 8700k Z390 Gigabyte Aorus. Depends how much you want to spend, but if you want to spend a lot, it's all Gigabyte.
>Is it safe to run both xmp and game boost? Game boost(whatever that is) Has nothing to do with ram. I hope Sounds like some stupid shit your mobo manufacturers made up and threw in. Just ignore it. It's not something AMD came up with and is probably full of shit just to trick boobs in nto thinking they're getting more than they are
Jason Cox
Proper coolers for RX5000 better be early august
Christian Wright
do not get the tomahawk
Evan Smith
no goy NO! please buy AMD, they give you very good deal, cut every corner possible to make profit too!
>o no guise, my chip can only write 25gb/s to ram it has absolutely 0 effect on benchmarks, this is peak shitposting.
Jordan Williams
literally a non-issue.
Isaiah Morris
wait for the navi high end and the 2080S. if that doesn't bring down prices nothing will.
Nicholas Rodriguez
Why not? It's supported
Daniel Martin
I'd say if you truly love her you'll get her 16gb ram. Though you can get a 2400g or 2200g instead. You don't need a 2600 for her but get it if you want. Though 16gb is a better investment
Jayden Garcia
I'm using a msi b450 tomahawk and it says it clocks my cpu from 3.6 to 3.85. but thanks I'll activate the xmp
Josiah Reed
i have 8gb with a 4690k and i never use all 8 so i think she'll be fine, besides there will be 2 open ram slots for future upgrades
Juan Ortiz
Why are they testing shit ram? Where are the lower cas
He's a shill with. O reasoning. It's fine >I'm using a msi b450 tomahawk and it says it clocks my cpu from 3.6 to 3.85. Snake oil. Ryzen does that by default. >i have 8gb with a 4690k and i never use all 8 so i think she'll be fine, besides there will be 2 open ram slots for future upgrades Go ahead then m8. Don't need the 2600 them though.
Will we see half slot GT 1650's running at x4 PCIE 4.0?
Justin Rogers
>dont need the 2600 what then?
Ryder Johnson
2080 super will reduce 2080 prices, 2070 super already costs as 2070 so it's just a matter of time unless stores keep the same price
Oliver Wright
How is Windows 7 support with X570 and 3000 series CPUs? Mobo websites seems to only be providing Win 10 drivers now when B450 and X470 had Win 7 drivers available. Does that mean a an older AM4 board would be fine with a 3000 series CPU and Windows 7?
Leo Ward
For Fractual Design guys, I've got a question for you. I've had a Define R4 series case, I know they have since released a R5 and R6 one, but looking at their website it looks like they also have a Define S2, which appears to be the newest model? Is this just a continuation of the R6? If not, what's different about it compared to the R-series? It's still a Define series case, I'm so confused. It's like they have a series within a series now...
Anthony Hill
Literally only 3 tech reviewers.
Nicholas Bell
3 reviews shilling AMD is not enough, we need more! Fucking shillers nexus and shills unboxed needs to shill amd as well! Otherwise everybody is a nvidia shill!
Brayden Allen
It's really powerful what are you currently using? Maybe swap with her. And get a 2400g or 2200. It's all she'll need. I doubt she's monitoring FPS all these months and those two will hit 100fps on 1080 easy
Adam Harris
this has gone "Zeon/The EFF have nothing wrong" tier.
Both sides have shills. This is the reality.
Evan Young
Why are people so adamant on holding onto that aging os? Wtf is wrong with your current case? Lol
Jayden Kelly
Both gave the 3600 tons of praise and recommend it over any i5.
Oliver Sullivan
It's still under MS support and is perfectly usable for browsing the web, gaming, productivity and many other things?
Cameron Morgan
>Wtf is wrong with your current case? I don't have a current case, I sold my last PC.
Henry White
Looking for a new monitor, 1440p IPS but I'm not sure if I should go for 144hz? I got a 1070 so obviously I won't hit near those frames in newer games. Worth it just to have 144hz in Windows and occasionally when playing older games or should I just stick to 60hz?
Gabriel Brown
144Hz are great even if you do not come close in terms of FPS in the games you usually play Also you usually keep monitors far longer than GPUs. 24 or 27"? Definetly make sure to get an adaptive sync one
Kevin Martinez
>It's still under MS support Isn't that suppose to be ending this year or the next? Anyways your begging for driver issues with newer things. I remember with the initial ryzen 1000 you had to jump through hoops to get it running right.
Aaron Nguyen
A monitor is going to outlast any other part of your setup, maybe even your headphones and case.
im on a 4690k/1070. also im not paying for it, she is. 2400g is only $10 cheaper and i feel like the 2200g is too cheap but ill see what she says.
i have a 970 i was going to give her but will it be bottle necked by the 2200g?
Alexander Cox
27"+ of course. However is 144hz great if I can only get 70-80 fps in games?
Asher Baker
People who watch the big bang theory should fucking kill themselves
Leo Bailey
Nah. 970 should be perfect for it. Since the 2600 is only $10 get that or go for the 2200g. Atleast with the 2200g she'll still be able to play Minecraft and sims4 if the GPU bombs for whatever reason
Joshua Hernandez
we got an extra gpu so that shouldnt matter. ill see what she says about the extra cost for the better computer
>Both gave the 3600 tons of praise and recommend it over any i5. That's not good enough, they are just doing that to throw off suspicion, mark my word they are 100% nvidia shills, because they didn't say navi is perfect and you should buy now
Nolan Ward
>GT 1650 >PCIE 4.0 no
Camden Hill
Stop recommending blower cards dumbass
Nicholas Rivera
why the 3700x with the xt, the 3600 is plenty for 1440p 144hz gaming
Brandon Barnes
How do I update x470 firmware to support zen2 without an older ryzen cpu?
Kayden Russell
you can't unless it has the bios flashback feature apparently AMD will send you a cpu to use though
Austin Peterson
Blower is fine on the 5700. Notes on the builds say to choose cards with aftermarket coolers. Of course none are currently released
It's already an expensive build. The 3600 is fine though. I'll add that in a note under the build
Isaiah Butler
hello sirs, can someone here do the needful and test Kingdom Come Deliverance on a 3900X 1440p? no one on youtube is doing it. thank you sirs and god bless.
>NOOOOO THE BLOWER MAKES IT RUN 5 TO 7'C HOTTER oof I guess I better pony up an extra £100 huh
Jeremiah Cooper
RTX 2060 owner day 1 purchaser here, help me cope, lads. Will I be able to maintain 1080p 60FPS on low/medium for the next 3 years even as the RX 5700 stays on ultra 1080p 100FPS?
Mason Johnson
model names are not translated, there is no better search engine for hardware around
Mason Brooks
not with 6gb of ram, peasant
Jaxon Hill
Depends if you want to play the latest multiplat with all bells and whistles on.
John Mitchell
>RTX 2060 owner day 1 purchaser here >things that didn't happen The 2060 will be fine at 1080p for a few years, well into the next console gen
Will I need to take out the power supply if I'm replacing the motherboard?
Asher Lopez
oof, you drank all the jew koolaid
Kevin Peterson
the 27+" IPS range has been pretty dead since a long time, yeah. There is still nothing better than the MG279Q and FS2735 and those are like 3 years old at this point. There have been tons of cheapter TN 1440p 144+Hz monitors, and some VA ones though.
Is there any benefit to getting an x570 over an x470?
Hunter Walker
>doesn't know how decibels work or do you just hope other bots don't know either so you can laugh in ignorance?
Grayson Phillips
>louder >and hotter I guess it's not memes and they really are that, thanks for providing proof.
Juan Ortiz
>AMD Ryzen 9 3900X (3.8 GHz) >MSI MPG X570 GAMING EDGE WIFI >RAM 16 Go 3000 MHz >NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 Go >SSD NVMe 480 Go >MSI MPG GUNGNIR 100 How is it ? its for gaming and maybe streaming, will also use a no-name 750W 120 mm 80PLUS Gold PSU. thanks for the help
Dominic Carter
AAAHHH MY EARS SAVE ME NVIDIA THIS GPU IS 5DB LOUDER I'M GOING DEAF
FS2735 is like €1k and MG279Q is a dead product here in Scandinavia After going through so many PG279Q and XB271HU I've lost all hope on 27" IPS 144/1440. My last hope is the LG 27GL850
Eli Perez
I need three 120mm fans for my Lian-Li PC-O11 Dynamic case
I'm fine with having leftovers, but is there no better option?
Lucas Morgan
>bought a 2600 cpu because it was 10 bucks cheaper than usual >returning it to germany costs too much Would it still work well with the newer cards such as the 5700, 2060S etc?
