POST YOUR SPECS

ITS FUCKING NOT
I ONLY HAVE ONE GAME STORED ON MY PC AND ITS BATTLEFIELD 4

I WANT TO DIE

Semi cheap build

120gb is plenty for an OS and several programs

If you're going to put games on it though, you'll definitely want more space
I keep all my games on a normal hdd for now since ssds mainly only affect loading times, not so much in game performance

>Mfw I just cleaned the inside of my computer

Feels gud desu

>tfw I'm selling it tomorrow so my parents can pay their rent

I'll miss you PC-kun. ;_____;

'bout to load up some Zero Hour on this bad boy

...

You're a stronger person than I

>Laptop

r8 my new budget build

what should i upgrade next, i think my cpu

reeeeeeeeeeeeee

Needs an ssd, otherwise not bad

>Cred Forums os nothing but privileged white bois playing on pc their parents got them

try playing on a Ps3 STILL. none of you will ever know what is like to have to work for EVERYTHING you own. enjoy your extra frames, though.

...

If you're just gaming gpu would be better. Cpu is fine

please no bully

I'm in school

You think my parents would by me this shit? I didn't get into PC gaming until I moved out and could afford it myself

So yeah, I WORKED for it faggot

Brother got me a 1060 for my birthday. Much needed upgrade from my 7950.
Hope it runs gears 4 well.

forgot pic

honestly i don't know what to get if i upgrade my gpu because no one ever talks about the r7 370 so i don't know what to compare it to

yeah with a job from your degree your parents paid for...lucky you.

How did you manage to get 12gb of ram in single channel?

rate

...

>haswell

ayyymd lmao

>710

How are you even browsing this site?

black magic
i have a 4gb stick and a 8gb stick i dont know why it reads as that

You think my parents financed me through school? Fucking lol

I'm working and taking night classes you salty faggoty fuck. Stay poor and mad

bad

It's still an ok card. If you're not seeing any major slowdowns there's no pressing need to upgrade

Blame google

Make sure they're installed in the correct slots on the mobo

...

any comments?

What monitor is that?

It is, everything other that the speccy reading is fine, i went through and did a memory check, and it came up as being dual channel. Its just speccy being weird

this thread made me realize my CPU probably shouldnt be jumping from 76 to 86 every minute.

I'm in the same boat as this guy and i could go out and buy a couple Titan Xs if I wanted to.

fockin pish

What cpu and cooler you have? Is that at load or idle?

r8 pls

wait, shit i just read my mobo instruction book, i put the second stick 1 slot to the right, thanks for pointing that out bro, wouldve never found it for a while probably

BenQ ZOWIE 24-Inch 1080p LED Full HD 144Hz (XL2411)

The normal BenQ version can be found for a bit cheaper but Amazon was out of stock so paid a bit more for the Zowie version. Both are exactly the same minus a Zowie symbol on the back.

...

>144hz
For eSports? IPS looks better than TN.

>2016
>having a dedicated graphics card
wow... nerds...

I know my RAM and graphics card is shit. but I just blew all my remaining cash on a breakfast at Ihop, some new headphones, and a mic I'll never use.

definitely start saving and upgrade the card

sounds like a totes gnar gnar rig bro

Budget build done a few years ago.

I think it's 3 years old now? I'm due to upgrade but poorfaggius maximus at the moment. It works fine for basically every game I play at the moment, can't max a lot of new games but I can still have playable experiences.

Out of the way toaster coming through.

idk i bought this at a grocery store

>he doesn't have a quantum computer
get a load of this pleb

remember to decorate your speccy

At that resolution its a 8/10

Check your processes, make sure you check to see processes from all users.

Your heat is more than likely a system process hanging at 25% CPU usage all the time. It might be windows update service, I jsut had an issue where runnign wow would bring me up to 95 degrees because of that piece of shit service. Stopped it, down to 45 on idle and 70-80 on load, which is fine.

r8

Monitor sucks ass, it isn't even 20 inches and it doesn't have HDMI. I'm saving for a good monitor.

What would you recommend for it? I'm thinking of whatever I can pick up for 23ish inches and HDMI for 100ish bucks (dollar is sky high right now, sucks to be Mexican). Might wait for Black Friday, idk, I hate my shit monitor.

Just buy a 2nd hand TV. You'll get 1080p and 60hz from someone's old TV

could it be due to me running bittorrent right now?

...

I have a Toshiba TV that is pretty big (don't know exact size but it's over 30 methinks) but I have no way to set it up on my current room. I thought TVs weren't that good for PC gaming anyway? Isn't like 32 inches a bit too big? How should I put my shit? Guess I'll try it one of these days see how turns out...

Here's the model of my TV:

Should have gone with an H series mobo to save some cash, but otherwise not bad

Holy fuck I just understood why it's called speccy

>tfw I just got a new bottle of screen cleaner and cleaned my monitor, my phone, and my 3DS

did you get your $30?

Do you rike it?

Overkill for 1080p and you didn't even bother to get an ssd?

Cmon man

>don't know exact size
>search?q=toshiba+32

I have an SSD but I haven't gotten around to putting it in and my old GPU was a 660.

My rich ass uncle gifted me the 1070 for my birthday.

Could be a 144Hz monitor

r8

6300 going strong, but need an upgrade soon. I just want max graphics on Overwatch, but that shit stresses the CPU apparently.

you should invest in either a higher resolution or higher refresh rate monitor to take advantage of the 1070s abilities

>clearly says 60hz

Not yet.

Do you rike?

...

needs ssd

>taking a picture of your monitor
>not even using speccy

Here's the innards. Corsair 300R case.

Yes. One of these drives is literally nothing but direct rips of entire porn sites. I plan to get a 8TB drive or two before the end of the year.

I'm wondering whether I should get another 8GB of memory. Some people are telling me 8GB is just fine for the foreseeable future, while others are saying it's cheap enough to just dive in.

Negatory. Have you checked the little checkbox that says "see processes from all users"?

>in your area

user, use the internet to buy things from far away

>windows 8
>that cpu in that build

>TV 1280x720@60Hz

no hate on the 660 ti that is the little card that could but it's time to upgrade

user I just upgraded from a 660ti to a 1070. The 660ti is a great card but it is time to move on mate. Lay ol sixty to rest.

>16 gigs
I'm a 3d fag so It's not uncommon for me to use more than 8 gigs of ram.
Other than that yeah, I got this computer ~3 years ago and haven't upgraded it since.

Literally use Amazon or some shit like that. It's 2000+16, it's about time you did this,

Gaymen laptop from 2009 that can barely run modern games. I made the mistake because I was retarded know first hand how awful they really are so I get to laugh every time someone makes a thread defending gaymen laptops.

...

can screen cleaner get rid of food stains stuck to my monitor?

its a good build for 3 years ago thats basically what I had, I was just fucking with you anyway
although I'm sure you'd agree that you'd do yourself well to get a better monitor

How bad is it?

pls no bully

>work 12 hours a day writing mortgages and selling them
>only have time to play an hour a day and sleep

Fuck you kid. I'm gonna get my $500 monitor because I earned it. Enjoy that PS3

Not THAT bad, it's some small dots.

Then yeah, probably.

...

...

I'm sure I'm gonna have to upgrade my hardware eventually. I simply am not interested in any games that are too much for my computer as of yet.
>although I'm sure you'd agree that you'd do yourself well to get a better monitor

Cred Forums wasn't able to help, someone reccomend a high power laptop cooling pad, I dont give a fuck about noise or price, I just want raw power

I gave some dude a bunch of money and he got me this. I've been out of the PC game for about 10 years and don't know lefts from wests anymore.

...

>raw power
>laptop

hows that house fire going user

Jesus Christ user get a new CPU cooler.

nigga that shit is about to cast megaflare with that temp

>that CPU temp
AHHHHHHHHH

Jesus, man. That's past the boiling point where I'm at.

Eh, it's been this way for over a year. I've got it undervolted to help, but it's not so bad.

These GPUs are a waste of money and I don't recommend them.

ye, there's something called thermal paste

>processor at 93 degrees on what I assume is idle
>it's not so bad

user do you bathe in molten lava, by any chance?

>6 monitors

but why?

Because I can.

Actually that's a bug. I only have three

>Why's everyone freaking out, that's not hot
>Celsius

Temps that high are normal in a laptop but in a desktop that's pretty broken.

gotaste.wordpress.com/2012/01/28/200-degrees-fahrenheit-93-degrees-celsius/

cooked salmon anyone?

;0

>2 1080s

well yeah its a fuckin waste ya only needed 1 dingus

Not for 4k or 3x 1440 but yeah. Multi-gpu sucks and Nvidia seems to be extra shit with multi monitor support compared to AMD.

>my PC stutters and skips when it gets too hot
>had an issue once where it hit 90-95 celsius doing nothing but facebook and youtube while eating pizza
>lost my shit for the next couple of days trying to figure out WTF was going wrong, as I'd literally had the power supply explode inside the PC not a week earlier

Turns out windows was having a process hang after a certain time of running, causing it to leak memory and dedicate more and more CPU, heating my system up.

Fixed after the latest windows update but I always force stop on windows update service now.

I know I know. Im getting a better fan tonight. I was thinking Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO. Yay nay?
I thought blue LEDs meant better cooling ;-;

>Using Fahrenheit
The 212 Evo is good if you're a cheapass.

Whats a step above cheapass

No, but I guess it's worth mentioning that I don't have air conditioning. And it is a laptop, btw.

That said, it runs great. All I use it for is browsing, pulling up PDFs, and youtube.

>intel(r) hd graphics 4000
toaster gaming is best
that 1fps life

Nigga at least get a cooling pad. That shit is bad.

Not bad senpai. You should be good to go for a few years. If Vulkan and DX 12 continue to favor AMD then you'll probably be set for even longer.

NH-U12S / NH-U14S.
I think Cryorig make some decent ones.

Cool. At least Doom runs well

Hey sort of an on topic question about my budget build PC

I'm planning on getting a cooler master, but at the moment when I stream/record gameplay my cpu (Intel Core i5 4690k) gets in the mid 60s temps. Should I be worried or stop stressing over it? I'm still fresh to the PC master race thing.

gg

Who else /saved $40 not falling for the K meme/? On a lot of motherboards you can over clock non K Skylake CPUs. I haven't yet cuz I'm lazy, but still.

That's not bad at all

Is that an Acer V 15 Nitro? Got an MSI instead but that was a close second

...

...

t. Craigslist

is that you mr.freeze?

So how much did you get Jewed?

Even when using the stock fan that came with it? Regardless that's good to know. I'm really a huge worry-wart when it comes to PC related things running smoothly.

>mfw assembling a motherboard for the first time
>mfw installing the CPU

I don't remember. It was at least three years ago, and it was something like $500

Getting any aftermarket cooler will make temps better anyway

How are you holding up on those new AAA games? I have the same cpu but want to upgrade my gpu and get that mono to oc

r8

bretty gud

thanks bro

I have some chink cooling pad as well so it doesn't melt my desk.

...

FreeSync Monitor

r8 me

I am a retard

I have no intention of upgrading my CPU. Is it worth throw a 970 or 1060 in this thing. I could also probably OC the CPU a bit more to the 3.8-4.0 range.

:)

Your CPU would be a definite bottleneck and gimp your 980 even more than Nvidia would anyway. You're looking at a 1050, and even then some games won't run on your dual core

Nice, as long as you've had it for a while. It is inadvisable to build a new rig with any current FX CPUs

Good job, not even budget. As the other user said, get an SSD. Preferably 250GB

You may not need to upgrade anything if you're still getting the performance you want. Graphics card will be your next upgrade

Pretty sure I saw you in the build thread, but yeah that APU + 980Ti + 1080p 60Hz is embarrassing

You're good for now m8

RAM is installed in wrong slots probably

Why the fuck would you get that CPU

Undertail
FTL
Papers Please

How are your 720p framerates in new games? Actually curious

Make sure your motherboard can be flashed to AM3+ then get the 8350 and a 4GB 470. You'll have a good rig again.

Nice ultrawide

Yeah, not exactly a balanced gaming build but ok

same gpu as mine, do you use their software?

...

>everything here
fucking why

Good bang for buck build. I can play new games at close to max settings.

meant for That's a lot of effort for a shitpost

>32-bit

>vista

most of this computer was from 2007 or 2008. it originally had an AM2 DDR2 motherboard. I bought the GTX 550 Ti from some dude on ebay for $20 and he stuck 4x2GB ram in the box to get rid of it, apparently. then I bought that AM3 motherboard for $25 to make use of the DDR3 ram

it runs almost everything on low so I can't complain

:)

That's some ridiculous bottlenecking.

...

They make 1600x900 TVs? I need to get one for my Xbox One.

What should I upgrade next?

k, still just a month old.

Clearly GPU if you play any recent games

buddy of mine had a laptop that heated up to 90+ degrees as well

It would shut down eventually and not turn back on to avoid heat damage.

My last laptop overheated and melted the soldering in the motherboard, so being a retard I let the same problem happen again (didn't clean fans properly, didn't have a cooling pad) and it died again.

Don't take your hardware for granted senpai, unless it's literally a throwaway machine in your inhome office or something.

what can my shitter pc run? I've never even tried to run any games, even old ones, because I just assume I won't be able to.

What would you recommend?

...

please r8, h8, appreci8

meant laptop not pc

Probably nothing because it'll overheat.
Try Undertail, FTL, Duskers, Papers Please, AM2R. Basically you can try any indie pixel games

I admire your resourcefulness

I should probably upgrade my OS, because half of my RAM is literally just dick-waving right now.

If you want to take full advantage of your 144Hz monitor, a GTX1070. 470/480/1060 will do though

This is why I have a younger brother who knows what he's doing.

I paid my little brother $20 to assemble my PC after I bought the parts, because fuck doing that shit myself.

...

Oh no I know what I'm doing, it's just I got so stresed out over the idea of having no working PC for the next year I fucked up reassembling and missed a few bits.

I've put together like, 10 desktops over the last 2 years for people, if you gave me the parts, 20 bucks and a pizza I'd have the PC assembled and ready while we eat pizza and bro-op something, that's how second nature it is to me.

the noises shit makes when you put it together still unnerves me though. As easy as it is to assemble, it's also that easy for it to break,

building my own computer was fine. took it slow double checked everything and made certain i was doing everything correctly
building my friends computer however was nervewracking as shit because I didnt want to fuck his parts up
turned out fine

I know that feel my brother.

But I get consistently above 60 fps on overwatch on minimum graphics, without compromising resolution. So I'm not planning on buying anything any time soon.

Give me some feedback.

yeah figures.......

Grand Strategy games
Visual Novels
Emulated PSP/NDS/most PS2 games

You're kidding right? Half of the posts itt are 'budget' pc's

You got an overpriced gaymen laptop and it doesn't even have an SSD.

Bet you stole your PS3, nigger. Why don't you try not being a shithead so that you can afford a fucking $300 PS4 Slim?

I still use my PS3 to play TLoU multiplayer even though I have a good PC

>>(you)

The SSD is fine, but get a better monitor.

Recently upgraded to this from an i5 3500 gtx 560 ti build. I kinda wish I would of got a little bigger ssd but it's still plenty to store the games were it'd actually make a difference on.

...

Just finished the build. Gonna get another 32gb of ram in the future though.

What are you using the RAM for?

R8?

...

i fell for the laptop meme

...

CPU is OCed to 4.6GHz.
I think Im safe from upgrading for a while.

Hahahaha

might be too late to thread but here I go. Basically my first build, straight outta logical increments. The GPU is a placeholder till I get a 1060 next week. I feel like I massively fucked up on my processor and should've got a better one. Will it do fine for 1080p 60fps gaming?

hue

Fucking tragic

Debating if I should get a second monitor or a new CPU first.

I have an i5 3450. It has run literally every game I have thrown at it in the last 4 years.

CPU is not the issue senpai, your build is fine. With a 1060, you'll murder anything at 1080p. Enjoy your build man, it looks solid.

...

...

The 480 replaced a 7870 and now I don't feel like I have to upgrade my CPU, or anything else, at all.

>970
>Windows 10
>Optical drive
Looks pretty solid. The 144Hz monitor is the only thing preventing you from being a total normie. May I inquire about how your computer handles two monitors at 2 different refresh rates?

woohoo thanks user! I've had a toaster all my life until now.

Huge photoshop files and 3d Rendering.

dont bully pls

Use MSI Afterburner to turn up the fans sooner on the 970

I now usually buy new games on ps4 because 90% of the time it'd run like shit on my pc

>101C

That's just speccy fucking up, right?

i can only hope

I think it's time to clean the dust out of your CPU heatsink and reapply the thermal paste.

...

Its fine

im so sorry.
