ATTENTION: Graphics card prices are excessive by historical standards; therefore, consumers should delay or completely forgo any midrange to high end graphics card purchases. The gouging has two root causes: lack of market competition and shortage/"new normal" pricing during the mining hayday.

Kevin King
Any good but cheap (
Brandon Cruz
in the used market, never on the new market, about 3 years ago
run memtest and see if memory is stable to 400%
Kevin Rogers
RX 570 is faster than the 1650 and cheaper, retard
Angel Ross
The peak of the race last decade.
Luke Anderson
Does it matter which slots I put my RAM in? Assembling my first pc right now.
Joseph Wood
don't do this you will live with that heap of metal for 5~12 years get a good looking case with sufficient ventilation
Nicholas Diaz
Sigh amd.. Never again
Juan Hall

Luke Young
Depends on the mobo.
Dominic Gutierrez
yes, look into your mobo manual for which slots to put 2 sticks
Jackson Foster
amd gpus are at last good amd cpu are even more price perf better just wait for b550 mobos
Andrew Martin
Hi, poorfag here, what's a good cheap cpu to run a small minecraft server with 10-20 players max? Maybe a r3 1200? Anything better?
Check mobo manual, most of the time with 4 slots it's 1 and 3.
Liam Sanders
Yes sir I will do the needful
Easton Walker
jesus your credit card is only a $1500 limit?
Anyway considering this is CAD, it seems like you got really good deals. But maybe you should just use an RX580 for now? It can do 1440p at console-quality settings (generally low-medium, with maxed textures, but depends on game) Case is completely subjective. I wouldn't get an oversized one is all.
Raytracing will be worth it when cards come out which are powerful enough to run it without artifacts in 4-5 years. It also took 10 years for ambient occlusion to be done in a way that looks natural and good instead of simply putting drop shadows behind everything in screen space.
Do they really have the same model name or did newegg mislabel?
>has heating issues. No it doesn't. It just measures a point that's 20%+ hotter than what Nvidia measures and reports from, you tech illiterate retard. That's why the max temp is 110C instead of 95C, since where it measures is hotter and more accurate. Silicon can go to 125C fine, but previous measurements weren't close enough to the hottest spots to tell whether or not it's close to 125C or not so it's typically played safe at 95C.
Wyatt Butler
Thought it was MicroATX only, I was wrong. Will probably go for that one. I saw a Silverstone Raven RVX01 for that price but that seems like a gimmicky and dated case.
Nathan Miller
So.... new 5700xt models are out..... and with them a really higher price than for a blower. Are they really that bad?
Zachary Thomas
Should I get the aorus elite or the tuf x570? The main difference I see between them is the intel lan on the aorus one

Is there any good online european shop to buy computer parts that ships to all Europe? (the page must have an english translation, spanish or portuguese would be fine)

Ok thanks
Jack Perez
Its a joke about the correlation causation fallacy autist
Oliver Miller
Depends where you are. In the US it's only $10 more for a Sapphire Pulse, and $30 more than that for a Red Devil.
Benjamin Evans
No, the same people who insist on organic food also think infecting their children with heavy metals and letting them cut on their genitals is perfectly healthy.
Gabriel Gomez
memecraft is heavy, no? you should Google, this sounds like something someone plotted for already
I'd go for most threads, a old xeon or a 1700 would do better
Ryan White
I have two 120mm be Quiet silent wings 2. Dunno what to do with the other one.

it's a obvious link that autism creates organic foods
Tyler Foster
somebody?
Thomas Gonzalez
go to geizhals.eu and look for stores that are willing to ship to you, I had a similar problem that's why I'm ordering everything to Austria to pick it up, but there are shops that offer to ship for a bigger shipping fee or at least should exist.
Owen Harris
For example, the 5700xt that came out a month ago is now for 380, pulse is 420.
Ryan Williams

I gonna do some light programming and some light gaming on it possible gpu upgrade later for the case i thought something like CHIEFTEC CI-01B-OP anybody care to critique?
Easton Green
Well I wanted to go for a xeon 4730 (or similair name) but after some research it turns out a minecraft server really needs single core performance. Running on 6 virtualized 1600 cores works as should be (with normal gameplay about 20% usage) with like 4 people already, so I don't think 1200 would do that much worse. Might go for a 1600 or 1700 because they're getting cheaper secondhand though. But I was wondering if there might be an intel low power cpu specifically for the single core performance, because cheap for older gens.
William Williams
intlel don't really do cheap single core perf
celeron and i3 are all cheap and do something like 2ghz at best, honestly not worth it over the price perf of a 1600
Josiah Nelson

So this type of case. Anybody have it? Are they good, can they stuff in a classic atx board and long gpu? Also i need some case to transfer easily, is this a good one or does anybody knows some that come with a handle?
they should have those numbers listed on their website, and I'm sure pcpp has it
afaik they run hot because getting airflow inside them is hard, but not impossible
also you cant really rgb them
Kevin Clark
>celeron and i3 are all cheap and do something like 2ghz at best What are you talking about, 9100f has a base frequency of 3.6ghz and a celeron G4900 has a base frequency of 3.1ghz
Brody Ross
>replying to own post AMDrones are getting desperate
William Murphy
Is 32 gigs of ram overkill for just gaming? I don't play a ton of recent AAA games but most of them recommend 16 gigs at least and firefox is usually eating up like 4 gigs because it's shit. I don't mind paying more for it but is it stupid to go for 32?
Bentley Mitchell
I want to be able to play most games at 1080p at high fps for a few years, could this build do that? Am I fucking up or wasting money anywhere here? I haven't built a PC before.
i'd say it's future proof With games and nothing else we could see usage up to 16gb since developers are getting lazier, also if you want to stream/have tabs opened and watch something, 16 gb is already borderline on newer AA titles.
Aiden Thomas
I don't get the impression browsers are going to get any more efficient so I'd get more anyways.
Robert Rivera
Yeston (also HIS, Asrock) reviews fucking when? Doubt they could approach Red Devil but if it's as good as Strix or Pulse I might get a pink gpu
not the old ones and compared to their bigger versions that's nothing. they could have a dedicated market for single thread performance if we could have a i3 that can boost to 5ghz just like a i9, even if only with 4c4t
Ryan Martinez
Should you use the motherboard chipset drivers, or the latest AMD/Intel ones?
Kayden King
>intlel 600p no, trash this. get any other ssd that isnt a400, intlel or wd green >OEM w10 no, get the key off a site like scdkey, they resell in bulk and you can get it for like 30usd at most >2060s for 1080p144 do you believe in raytrace? this GPU won't do. get a 5700 or the xt, you could update to the 2070s if you want but I'd wait for the next series or amd ray trace gpu
Jason Wright
2070 super founders edition or 5700 xt aib, I'll buy whichever one gets more votes
Grayson Myers
>pcpartpicker.com/list/2v3j8Y Get the cheaper SU800 or MX500 instead. Also can't you get the 2400G for only like $20 more? Well worth it for the extra threads.
theres legit zero point in paying for a 2070S with how close the new 5700 XT AIBs are at a fraction of the price unless you're brand loyal. So really you should choose between the 2080s or the 5700XT, if money is no option get the 2080 and if you are on a budget then the obvious choice is the 5700XT.
Zachary Phillips
Im pulling the trigger on a 9700k, and i want a z390 mobo that has 6+ usb ports. What’s the best i can get thats
Cope, Radeon temps are dogshit, green team all the way
Justin Mitchell
>So really you should choose between the 2080s or the 5700XT, Yeah except paying $700 for a card with 8GB of VRAM holding it back at that level of performance and destroying its potential longevity is retarded.
Only cards worth considering is the 570, 580, SOMETIMES the 590/1660/1660ti depending on sales as their MSRP are too high, 5700, 5700xt, and 2080ti.
you can ignore this moron its his first time here after discovering LTT on youtube and probably coming from /v/ or Jow Forums.
Logan Green
Why blower 5700
Hunter Turner
Why not? It's just as quiet as the 2060 Super and it's cheap.
It's just the XT you don't want to use the blower with since it uses about 27% higher power without having a better cooler. I think the Pulse is $10 more if you can find it. Or hell, for the price of that overpriced 2060 you could get the Red Devil, even, and have something completely silent. I don't care, any of those 3 options are fine.
Just the one on my Wraith Prism because I haven't bothered to connect the USB cable to disable it, but it's going to be replaced in a couple weeks anyway so it doesn't bother me too much.
I have a Thinkpad T420 and I hate all the Lenovo bloatware. I'm reinstalling 7 when I get my new M2 tomorrow, and I was wondering if I needed to reinstall their software or if Windows could manage everything on its own.
Owen Allen
What about decently priced used 1080 Ti? I've been seeing a few EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 for $380-450 and I was leaning towards snagging one of those to hold me over till 5900/5950 XT release or 2080 Ti price comes down.
Asher Perry
Everything but the monitor.
Brody Brooks
Good luck finding a 1080Ti for under $350. >$450 You can get a new RX 5700 XT Red Devil for less. You'd have to be a retarded Nvidia fanboy to do that.

Monitor: -Waiting for review of LG 27gl850
PC parts: -CPU: RYZEN 7 3700X -GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 2070 Advanced -MB: X570 Aorus Elite -Storage1: 970 Evo (250GB) -Storage2: 860 Evo ( 1TB) 2.5" SATA -RAM: Not sure which brand as want CPU might benefit from specific manufacturers but up to 32GB, maybe 16GB -Cooling: NH-D15 Dual Radiator -Case: Corsair OBSIDIAN 500D
Price: -Plan to fit in ~1800-2300£ range
Mostly I have figured out which parts to pick, however there are a few that I am unsure and would love to hear what others think. So -GPU and MB custom versions. There are so many versions of 2070Super and x570 that I am just not sure what would be the best option performance/cost wise -RAM. I haven't done any research on this part yet, but have heard that certain RAM manufacturers work better with 3700x CPU -Monitor. Would like to have 2K 144Ghz monitor, not sure which one to pick though. Got hyped by LG as they are releasing this nice "1ms" response IPS monitor, however I do feel that it will be a flop and I need some back up. Would be great to hear any suggestions.
Please let me know if this build has some parts that don't realy make sence together!

when will all those mighty aftermarket 5700 XT become fucking available? why is it taking so long?
Hudson Kelly
Pristine 1080Ti Strix with warranty or wait for a 5700XT Nitro+?
Christopher Williams
Partners gave up upon seeing the 5700 sales flop so they're just goofing around because there's 0 demand.
Benjamin Morales
What does pic related mean? I'm going to buy two 3200 ram sticks but the pic says 3200 is over clock. Does that mean that if I turn on the PC the ram will run at a lower speed? And do I have to select the correct one on the motherboard and is it safe and recommended?
