>what AMD shills don't want you to know 9900K is still by far the best choice if you're making a highend gaming rig, especially a binned one. "Price-to-performance" is for poorfags.

any indian user here? Want to buy a graphic card where should I buy it from?
Was this imagine taken in California and is that a Subaru? Because I knew someone in school with a similar car. Him and his friend had anime wraps on their Japanese cars. It was the most pathetic thing ever.
They were always weird, but were hated due to their personality. They were the type of people who would run to class Naruto style and would read manga sitting down in the corner during lunch.
So sad... Imagine how bad their parents feel.

I prefer the clean looks of the Fractal Design Define R6 to the Meshify & variants. Would the thermal difference be noticeable?
Post Xeon vs 9900K benchmarks of modern games then, i'd love to see. Multiple benchmarks please, not the one game that happens to scale well with 28 cores.
My brother bought his first ssd for his gaming pc. I told him to do a fresh install from the iso from the microsoft website. I just did this in january did those kikes actually remove the iso and force you to use the media creation tool now? Should we just use that? I just want to format a usb to be bootable with winshit
It can work out, usually you will lose some performance from a mining card, will more than likely be degraded in performance to a 570. But if he can get a 570 new for the same price its better to get one of those instead
Jeremiah Wilson
again stephano is a incompetent dev, take this form somebody who has had to deal with him in his Assetto corasa autism. Don't know why you are using a shitty indie tier dev as your example.
Carson Scott
You can still do that with the media creation tool. Why do you think it's named that way
thats not what I said. I said he is incompoenent and what a 1 man show more or less? It's no surprise that he who has neither the skill or resources is dropping a more complex task that he hans't done before.

As an update to these, for a Photoshop/Image workstation (with a windows 2000 VM controlling a photo laboratory machine, but it barely pulls any resources) This is what I came up with, RAM already exists. The 2x6TB drives are for a RAID-1 NAS and will be used as a backup, the 2x4TB will be running in RAID-1 in the system for storage/archive and the SSD for the system and current year work load.
Thoughts? Not sure about the PSU. There's so many available and the 750W was cheaper than the 600W ones. Since it's an ITX I thought fully modular will make it a lot easier to handle. Maybe a 1TB Evo Plus would do fine too? But the TBW are a lot better, and I want the system to last quite a while.
Which is exactly my point. Thanks for pointing that out
Nathan Wright
Why RAID1 in the system when you already have a NAS? I'd rather use that extra drive to offl-site backup the NAS
Mason Bell
Get the Cooler Master H500 if you want a performance case.
Thomas Allen
To keep the system running even if a disk breaks down. My mom has no idea how to recover from a backup and it might take a few days until I can get a day off and help.

What 27" monitor for around $250 should I get in combination with a rtx2070 super?

I got pretty lucky with mine. It boosts to 4.45GHz and manually OCs up to 4.375GHz.

Camden Lopez
What's the problem with gigabyte gpu's? Looking for 2070's to buy but from reviews it seems the evga ones have loud fans, the cheapest from msi and zotac are just that and I was told they have poor built quality and don't last long. How about an asus rog strix? Though that one is kind of too expensive.

It's been 3 and a half years since I built my PC and it's finally starting to crap out, besides another RAM stick what upgrades should be made? I don't do any gaming that's particularly stressful

Already got an aorus ad27qd. Want it to last 5+ years and probably wont OC. Dont know if I should split my HDD in two. What about SSD, maybe take a second one. Finally the case and venti, something better ? Thanks for the help. Already got some advice from anons in the last thread about getting a 3600x instead of 3700x, dont know if I should go for it.
Well thanks for the advice fucktard this tool is garbage. Back to looking for an iso
Anthony Watson
then you get none of those, tard.
Austin Hernandez
P: gaming B: depends also the heatsink! this model doesnt come with one
Xavier Evans
So even if I have money to spare there's no point getting one of the smaller Noctua?
Why is it recommended on logical increment?
Jace Butler
That is total system draw. It is really close to twice the power draw. Like 150W vs 80W. Or maybe the 3700X draws more than I think on blender. Most of the time it's in the 60-80W range for the package itself but I guess it could go higher.
The windows OpenGL driver sucks. It's fine in Linux, better than Nvidia's, even. It's fine for emulators which don't use opengl. It's fine for older emulators which require piss all to run.
>faster in older titles. Not true. Ryzen is the fastest in the really old games, games that fit most everything in the cache like CSGO does but even more extreme for even older games.
If you think it's too loud after getting it, yes.
Get a better board Get a better or cheaper ssd instead of overpriced yet slow garbage HDDs belong in server/NAS, not desktop. PSU is way oversized. 500W would be fine, 650W max.
Whatever you're trying to say, probably yes.
By the time it's matured, 2080Ti will be obsolete.
Chase Fisher
for gaming, just buy the fastest 3200mhz cl14 ram you can get
Cooper Rivera
Thinking about going for the 3600 and a 2080 super instead of the 9700k and 2070 super. I want the best possible gayman experience for older games at 4k60 if possible and 1440p60 for newer stuff.
Lincoln Garcia
you get what you pay for. their customer service and RMA process is shit
Colton Evans
>The windows OpenGL driver sucks. Because AMD is incompetent. >It's fine in Linux, better than Nvidia's, even. Because it's open software and people, not AMD fix it themselves.
So essentially the only time amd drivers a good is when they aren't responsible for making them and instead the free people are.
Elijah Price
I don't really care, as long as non of those are totally bad I need two of those monitors for working and maybe some occasional gaming also want to record a video with a game engine, buy I am not 100% sure if that actually records the screen output or is rendered into a video format directly
alsois not me, who has actually asked the question
Colton Perez
even the 9600k is better for gaming than any ryzen the real advantage of ryzen is having more cores for work tasks
Xavier Mitchell
>I don't really care, as long as non of those are totally bad then you don't have any options that fit that. Well maybe you do but they are usually a shit ton more expensive.
So choose which ones you care about.
Ryder Lopez
Is this a good 1440p 144hz monitor? I heard there were some possible flickering issues, but I'd like to take a chance anyway. It's on sale where I live and it's really cheap
How long would a 9600k last? Since the only upgrade I could make would be an i7 or i9 because current z390 boards probably won't support 10th gen intel chips.
Josiah Miller
Intel is significantly stronger for gaming, but you'll still get better gains from a better GPU in most games. Get the 2080S for sure, but maybe consider saving up a month longer to get the 9700K as well (or 9900K if you can find a good price for it).
Jaxson Green
looks pretty good to me just from reading the spec sheet
