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.

This is more than I wanted to spend but I think it follows the suggestions I've seen in this general and the "more" link. I can't afford the more high-end components but don't want to pay almost as much as this to get a subpar quality product. Am I fucking up somewhere?
You could go cheaper on the mobo and processor. It's like you're building to overclock but I know you aren't.
Anthony Butler
nice white lie you veneer faggot
Jason Sullivan
What monitor? You need at least 1440p 144Hz (or a Valve Index) to go with that build. If you're at 1080p, get a 2060S 8GB at most
Noah Rogers
Finally got my 3900X.

capitalism is capitalism if it were a problem then why is the internet allowing you to buy them? guarantee you cloudflare or some other google-infiltrated DNS server hosts that webpage. if it was an REALLY issue, microsoft would force google to blacklist all those pages. who cares.
Carter Garcia
Boys need help. Case fan is spinning till bios icon comes up and then it just stops. I know it is motherboard issue because if I change the fan to other fan connector it works flawlessly. Does anyone know a fix?
Henry Wright
he didn't say anything how MS actually does ban these keys all the time.
Brody Gray
dont bully tech deals he just wants to help
Thomas Ross
Fans only spin if they need to
Anthony Diaz
probably a fan profile setting on bios, like setting it to not turn on until a certain threshold
Luke Reyes
You're right, should I move to a 9700 and cheaper Z390 mobo?
I'm getting a LG 27GL850-B, pre-ordered one from bhphotovideo
Oh my god its not a joke lol. Evga themselves say they put a super sticker on the card that you should pull off. Sigh i ordered an xc ultra too i wish it wasnt so lazy
help Intels bottom line maybe. never seen such an open shill
Elijah Smith
Just stop bro. Youre making a fool of yourself insulting chad deals
Jeremiah Miller
youtube.com/watch?v=TK7eOrgOISc&t=29m45s on his "what intel processor should you buy" video he literally recommends 3 amd processors instead of intel and says only one intel processor is worth buying, but it's not his top recommendation
Asher Brooks
Does that work if it has 3 pin, not 4 pin connection? It turned off after I set my ram to run at its normal speed. Tried lowering it but still doesn't work
Henry Foster
Cheers mate

wtf is this cucked op ? fucking kill yourself. GPU prices are fine poorfag

of course cause he knows no one will care about second recommendation

>vsync holy fuck how do you stand that shit? vsync feels like shit, especially at only 144fps/hz. 240hz with unlocked fps is the only qay to play. its a shame 480hz is only available on shit resolution crts
I'm going to go for it and buy this list this November-December. I could buy it all now but I'm in not in a rush.
What do you think about this build for 1080p 60HZ 60FPS+ AAA gaming on high to ultra settings? When my monitor dies I'll get a 1440p 144hz probably. I'll also do some recording and streaming probably.
I have everything else(case, PSU, HDD). I don't care for LEL traycing, but prefer nVidia GPUs over AMD's.
I've never paid so much for CPU and GPU before. It's like double my usual costs, but I hope that this system will last me for at least 5 years.

Make sure you up your voltage on your DRAM to 1.45 and try that
Evan Long
isn't that the limit? wouldn't 1.35(current) to 1.4 be a better idea?
Eli Wilson
try updating your bios and starting from defaults again
Ethan Rodriguez
See if it works at maximum DRAM voltage first. and set your SOC voltage to like 1.18.
Ethan Jackson
really fast ram takes 1.5V but yea could step it up slow
Brayden Hughes
thanks ill try it out. voltage might be it.
Benjamin Johnson
So is a 5700xt top end?
Camden Lewis
I thought my system couldn't run with XMP profiles but it just had to like train itself by restarting a few times and then it worked fine. 3600 and b350 board

>consumers should delay or completely forgo any midrange to high end graphics card purchases What the fuck should I buy then?

Does anyone have a Corsair Spec-Omega or Spec-06 case?
I'm curious how well it works. If it does okay for CPU water cooling and how well it does for cooling in general. Its really popular in cases these days to not have an open or mesh front, but some seem to work okay this way and others less so.
Original plan was the NZXT H500 case, but so many of my parts are Corsair as is my keyboard I wouldn't mind keeping with a theme. I've always made boring boxes for some practical purpose and once I would like to make something that looks nice and fits an area its going in.
Hudson Butler
rx 580 is more than enough
Colton Butler
no a 2080 ti is low high end and titan RTX is top high end
Hunter Mitchell
>tfw not sure if I should get the 9900k or the 3900x for maximum frames at 1440p
The 9900k will give you the most frames in games, if you're not streaming. 3900x is better at everything else.
Nathan Miller
You shouldn't have to stay at 1.45 but if it is still having issues it might be your RAM or Motherboard.

I currently run two 1920x1200 Dell monitors, and want to replace them with a single windscreen without loosing retail space, and with the ability to emulate dual screen, and center my games. Is there such a monitor? Preferably 1440 in height
The choice is really between the 3700X and the 9900K. Absolute max frames would be 9900K, but personally I'd say it's not worth it unless you have a 2080Ti
Depends on what you're using a graphics card for
Probably not exactly what you want. Closest would probably be 3840x1080p 32:9. Notice that monitor is just half a conventional 4K display. For 1440p vertical, you'd need ~5000 horizontal pixels to keep a 32:9. Your monitors are 16:10, but they'd still need more than 3840 horizontal pixels. Short answer is probably not because of the awkwardness

Can I ask about printers here? I didn't want to make a thread just for this. What's a good cheap ass printer for printing out college papers? Should I just go to Goodwill and grab the first one I see? I see plenty of $35-$50 ones on Amazon. USB only, none of those gay retard ones that are wifi only.
Xavier Cruz
Its retarded lurk more
Cameron Hall
you should try to kys
Jacob Fisher
That's bs, 9700K is a very viable choice as well and costs less than a 3700X with an X570 motherboard. If you're making a pure gaming rig, 9700K is the second best possible choice right now, only surpassed by the 9900K.
I already put together a ryzen + rx 580 + 16gb RAM build for less than $600, come on now. I was just wondering what others would come up with.
Joseph Rivera
>gee I wonder why they have this feature, lets turn on the fans and see >the fans have his constant annoying whine >silent mode is literally nessary not to kill myself from the acustic torture Replaced them with some artic fans that constantly spin but never made annoying sound.
Connor Davis
Unused fans is wasted fans
Liam Collins
Something like this, feel free to replace the PSU with whatever as long as it's at least 80+ Bronze and from a reputable brand.
You dont get it. My point is better fans would both provide no noise and better constant cooling, that avoids heat spikes and build up. I am agreeing with you. I think manufactures using SHITTY FANS and using zero spin mode to compensate is fucking atrocious.
Xavier Jenkins
I am drunk and trolling and not really trying i am sorry
Evan Walker
Any quality 4k 27' monitors for $500? I missed out on the LG850 unfortunately.
Kayden Hall
when are we getting fucking better or fuck at least stable drivers on AMD?
Alexander Harris
It's AMD, never.
Brandon Martin
how hard is it to pay the pjaeets to actually put in some effort and time to fix their drivers? How fucking greedy is AMD, why can't they pay their employees to do their job?!
Julian Mitchell
Their house pajeets are busy shilling in this thread, please understand.
David Morris
I DONT CARE I WANT WORKING DIVERS FUCK! HOW THE FUCK CAN THEY NOT GET THIS SHIT STABLE
Dylan Gutierrez
b-but muh threads
Jaxson Gutierrez
You do know AMD has a way smaller employee count than Intel or Nvidia, right? Then you have to factor in the fact that the employees are also split further into CPU and GPU divisions.
Adam Butler
>if I leave my undervolt/OC profile on when I turn off my PC >the the next time I turn on my PC, the VRM temp sensors read 0 and the PC crashes under any graphical load, even opening radeon settings does this If the system goes into safe mode and the default Radeon profile loads in, then these issues go away and you can turn a pc normally on. Keep in mind this is a highly stable OC/undervolt that survives 12 hour stress tests with no problem.
How these abortion of a driver are made by AMD is beyond me.
Like I imagine the hardware is okay, but the drivers are ABYSMAL, literally a step away from broken garbage.
Jason Edwards
that's what gamers get for supporting the nvidia monopoly
