Is the an ITX board with more than two fan headers and a non-retarded layout?
Benjamin Jenkins
Muh build so far. Been saving up for my dream rig for some time now.......so close now
Anything I should change? It's just going to be my gaming/browsing machine, maybe some video editing later on. Trying to "future proof" as much as possible and trying to stay sub 4k dollarydoos
Just get fan splitters and control multiple fans with 1 fan header.
Kevin Baker
Pardon me if I'm retarded. But does the link at the bottom of my post not work?
James Sullivan

which cooler outperforms the thermalright? the case comes with two fans which I thought would be enough. am i wrong?
James Perry
Arguably the D15, but it's mostly a matter of preference.
Personally I always replace case fans since they're rarely high quality, but I cannot speak for the Fractal Designs as I've never had one.
John Green
How much money should I be expecting to spend if I want a decent PC that can run games smoothly? The most intense game I'm running is Overwatch really. I'm looking to build something I can upgrade later. I'm just looking to get an estimate for a cheap decent PC.
Christian Brown
Logical increments is a good reference.
Personally:
650 - Any more than this is usually for longevity, or the luxury of running almost every game at max/60fps for a while.
Julian Adams
Should I wait for a cyber Monday rx 480 sale? You fellow friends and neighbors think there even will be discounts on those GPU's? If so which one(s) would you recommend?
Eli Flores
Thanks for the numbers, maybe I can build a decentish PC sooner than I had hoped
Nolan Bailey
I do recomend digging for more opinions other then mine, as should be for most of what we do in life.

What's the best refresh rate for gaming in general?
Wyatt Allen
fuck
Jack Stewart
>because build quality (aluminum) and pretty lights (I have a fetish for LEDs)
Entirely reasonable, but I still consider it a jarring price. There are other mechanical keyboards out there that are cheaper, but I am not sure about the build quality. (Albiet, they should last long either way)
>Same thing as keyboard Logitech makes reliable mice as well. But otherwise a good choice for a mouse.
>I like it because 27", IPS, and I thought the higher the refresh rate the better/smoother things get?
Yes, but at 1440p/144 Hz monitor, you can get one cheaper, that 800 dollar wallet killer seems over priced to me (by a lot)
>What's the best refresh rate for gaming in general?
60 is the standard, 120 is luxury, and 144 would be great for you.
(Take a note here, all of my complaints are of budget, Im assuming you have a disposable income, in which case, all that you bought was pretty good, but the prices are jarring.
Hunter Ward
Looking for R9 290 replacement, current one is kill due to bent PCI-E slot. I want to be able to comfortably game at over 100+ fps on 1080p.
Of course. I have some buddies that know plenty and are gonna help me put it together, I just wanted an idea of when I should think about starting to put one together.
Aiden Hill
Should save up a little to get that 6600k, you'll regret the lack of OC support
Nicholas Hill
Shit nigga what are you doing. If you buy a non k cpu a H170 mobo will save you money and don't buy that gaymur hardware. They take a standard mobo, slap "lol muh gaymur so 1337" sticker on it and sell it for 20% more. Just curious, but what will you do with one 140mm case fan? Does Fractal Design jew on you with too few fans in the Define S?
Easton Campbell
I'm interested in OCing my RAM. Seems to be the only reason for my getting the z170. It might be negligible but whatever.
The Define S comes with 2 140mm fans. That's just a third to install.
Asher Ortiz
Question: I have one of those Asetek Water Cooling things for my CPU. (It's also one of those that come with the pump, resivoir built in. Unfortunately, I also took the fan from it and put it to good use)
How much could I sell it for?
I was thinking 50 bucks
Cameron Myers
>i want to OC the RAM >but not the CPU Listen. If you want to OC, then get a decent non-gamer shit Z170 mobo, good RAM and a 6600k. Otherwise get the non k 6600, 2133 RAM and a H170. Buying a Z170 mobo solely for the RAM is not worth it.
Anthony Brooks
Google it or look at newegg, this is not your personal Ebay support page you lazy fuck.
Adrian Young
Thanks for the advice.
>good RAM
That's not good RAM? From what I've read the Viper Elites are fine.
Joseph Russell
Your RAM is fine, but i'd get probably 3000, you can OC that, too.
Ethan Cooper
Thanks for the feedback senpai. yeah I took a look at some other keyboard alternatives but the K70 RGB seems to be the best for what I'm looking for. also, I still need to track down the best prices. Example. PCPartpicker had a k70 RGB listed on Amazon for like $230 but Corsair themselves had it listed for $159. So yeah i need to keep searching for best prices. Also, it looks like the Asus MG279Q would be a nice alternative to the previous wallet killer monitor
Ryan Cooper
I have nearly the exact same build, only difference is the storage. That and the case, though I previously had the same case you are considering. Ended up switching from it since while it's fairly good feature wise at the price point it has issues with noise. It has a tendency to pick up vibrations and amplify them, which was driving me crazy. Overall build quality is rather poor, consider paying a little extra for a better case.
Aiden Moore

Benjamin Scott
You guys desktoponlyfags or can we talk laptop parts too? I'm trying to find a 1080p 12.5" panel with decent gamut. seems like there's few laptops at that size these days.
Jose Ortiz
I haven't heard of any laptops that small with a resolution that large. You building your own laptop or something?
Benjamin Cook
the X260 has that resolution, but with crap gamut. there are also macbooks, and a jap-only panasonic thing, but those are both at under 12".
Leo Ward
cyber monday deals are shit. black friday and around christmas are when you should buy things.
Colton Young
Be cautious of some "sales" though. Monintor the price before the sale times to see if they increase them and then put them "on sale" for the original price.
Huh. My only other thought would be a tablet screen you could somehow cannibalize, assuming you really are assembling something yourself.
Elijah Richardson
there are sites like camelcamelcamel.com that keeps track of prices.
Jonathan Mitchell
I'm just thinking I'm buying an X260 and replacing the screen. it's as good as you can get for everything I want.
Jace Thomas
anything new/worthwhile coming out in the next 6-8 months in the gpu/cpu arena?

Nicholas Bailey
There's Zen and KabyLake, neither of which I care about because AMD will never be as good as Intel and I don't want Windows 10.
Gavin Sanchez
looking good get high memory gpu though, i think theres a 6 or and 8 gb 1060 you should probably consider if you have a little extra dough
Wyatt Young
Since you have the wiggle room in your budget, I'd add another 8GB stick of RAM and opt for a 1070 instead of a 1060.
Jack Barnes
why will amd never be as good as intel? i'm asking because i don't know
Charles Smith
Anyone saved any good 1080+6700k builds?
Christopher Perry
they split their focus it means they make good deals with console manufacturers, and they're good for budget, but perf per watt competition is too much.
Don't fall for the low RAM cards. Get a 6G 1060 or 1070 or maybe a RX480 8G. Get 16GB of RAM if you want to edit/render/whatever. Get a better SSD, idk about Corsair SSDs.. And.. you have a case, right?
Elijah Gutierrez
> wait for 490? or get 480
Jack Nguyen
get a 1060
Hudson Hughes
It's actually /pcag/ - PC Assembly General
Nathaniel Powell
Yea Ill probably be adding ram to 16 eventually, if not now depending on what the final price is
Case is also the last thing im considering once everything else is picked.
Either is fine. If you can afford it, go for the 1070. Regarding the case, don't be a cheapskate. 50$ cases are trash, get at least something like a Corsair R200, preferrebly a R5 or Enthroo Pro, depending on what you need.
>those cards The difference in performance between them is likely so minimal you won't even notice it, so get the one that's $50 cheaper if you can't find anything else. MSI dressed up that card to look "gaymer"-y hence the pricetag.
Also, you can probably find some 2x8 stick combos for relatively cheap.
Seconding this, get a 1070.
Wyatt Rogers
I was too interested in oc'ing the ram so thanks for the serious reply. But one more question: is overclocking even worth it? In my case i'm not interested im modern games absolutely but can be in the mood to re-run some old stuff and emulate ps2. I'm using DAWs with many vst instruments too. Will i regret in losing performance with h170 chipset?
>is overclocking even worth it? Yes it is. Especially if you want to keep your hardware for longer than 4 years. I don't know about the requirements for emulating PS2 games, so no idea. Will you lose performance with a H170 chipset? Yes you will, you won't be able to OC . Will it matter much? That i don't know, for raw computing power, yes of course, but for your purposed, no idea. H110/H170/B150 are options for budget or non-k builds. If you want to OC or purchase a k CPU, get a Z170 mobo, there is no way around it.
get ssd get another 8gb stick of ram swap the i3 for a 6600 later sell the 470 and buy a 490

Adam Thompson
I gave a video card on newegg a bad review a few month ago and it's been removed. I'm guessing either newegg or the manufacturer had it removed to help with sales.
Jason Gutierrez
If you're looking to futureproof why not get a 1080? That'd probably last you well over 3 years.
Isaiah Ramirez
5% performance increase isn't going to keep your hardware relevant. o/c is useless. gaymers just do it because they are autstic enough to think 3fps matters
Joshua Clark
because it's absurdly overpriced and no matter what, you can't futureproof a gpu in today's world, so why not save a lot of money by going for a slightly worse model? also this is the max amount of money I can spend on this computer
Matthew Gonzalez
I wanted to get your opinion on my next purchase. I'm an American but live in Europe, and taxes here are high on everything. Electronics are much more expensive. I travel a lot and have never needed anything more than a 10-year-old thinkpad. However, now I need a computer that's capable of handling video editing programs and engineering programs (autocad + solidworks). I'm coming back to America for Christmas. Do I 1) build a fixed computer and lug it around when traveling or 2) buy an xbox hueg laptop that can handle my needs?

Grayson Adams
please respond
Dylan Barnes
it's only $20, I don't want the oem jet turbine they come with. Might end up replacing the 200mm fan in the case, it will be a desktop unit. I could ditch it and perform the same though, I just hope it's quieter
Logan Williams
Fair enough. I imagine it'll go down with the release of the ti, but yeah, I can understand your reasoning.
If you're only gonna move it once (US to EU) then a desktop doesn't seem like too much of a hassle, but if you're traveling around a lot, a laptop's probably more convenient.
He'd have to dissassemble it and likely ship the parts there.
Depending on how the rest of this month goes I might get it then, other wise should I just wait for BlackFriday and hope to fit in a 1070
Oliver Wilson
I've never had any complaints about the stock fans that come with Intel or AMD CPUs. If I were you, I'd buy a SSD instead of a CPU cooler and case fans.
Nathan Ross
Looks good, should serve you well as is, but yeah, if you can snag a 1070, you'd probably be better off.

pcpartpicker.com/list/HRkxHN Did I do ok? Selling my old rig to a friend so I'll save 500$ in that regard, figured I'd go nuts this time around. God damn red ram ruined the white black and brass colors though.

>people on the internet care about capitalization >arguing over semantics Autism levels off the charts.
Justin Taylor
What's the proper limit you should go for with an i5-6600K when it comes to RAM tact? Is 3200 overdoing it or is 2800 enough?
Cameron Gomez
>only 500GB storage >212 EVO >750W overkill PSU Dude..
Angel Lewis
You can get different RAM. It's just a lame cover. Also, get a 1 or 2TB spinny disk. 500 is gonna run out fast.
IIRC the max for it stock was 2166/2366 or something like that, but you can OC up to your mobo's max. Might be remembering wrong though.
Samuel Ramirez
What's wrong with the 212 EVO? Not expensive enough for you?
Nicholas Turner
Why are you buying the 6700K with a budged cooler? You have a proper overclocking board and a damn 1080. At least buy the Noctua NH-D15 or the H100i v2 in combination with two Noctua NF-F12-PWM. Go for black or white RAM then. A 550W PSU is more than enough. And since you're going overkill, grab that 950 Pro and a maybe a slightly better board.
Juan Hughes
It's an ok cooler, but i'd go for something better on a 1.5k$ i7k build.
Blake Martin
Yeah, I know about the stock max. It's simply that the price difference between 2800 and 3200 is hardly noticeable and I'm never seeing anyone pick the 3200.
Gavin Bell
>only 500GB storage
you're acting like he can't buy a hdd later
Carter Kelly
Maybe he didn't think of it? He asked, i responded. Why are you acting so autistic over a simple reply some user asked for?

Oh. Yeah get the lower clock stuff and OC it yourself and save some cash.
Calm down man, I'm sure he meant no offense.
Liam Wright
>Maybe he didn't think of it?
sure that's possible. and then he can buy it later.
Adam Miller
I've got all my parts settled for my next setup. Rolling with an 1080 for a 1440p monitor. How noticeable would the frame drop be if I use two 1440p monitors on that one 1080?
Isaiah Jackson
Ah I should have mentioned, I do have a 2tb red sitting in a server machine that I hardly use so I'll rob that from it. >Why are you buying the 6700K with a budged cooler? I'm not sure, I haven't built a rig in a while so I didn't know if a 212evo would be good enough or not, but everyone blows their load for it so I thought maybe it would be. As for the psu, drop it down to a 650 then? I'm not going for overkill so much as 'don't have to worry about it for a long time'.
3.5-4.5ghz is around 28% increase in clock speed but in most applications and games 5-10% will be the performance increase.
By the time you buy a mobo and cooler capable of supporting a healthy o/c, you would be that much closer to a better cpu or you could spend the money on better gpu or ram.
Hunter Bailey
The 212 EVO is popular is because it's better than a stock cooler and it's cheap. I don't think the more expensive coolers out there are worth the price difference.
Blake Barnes
>he measures CPU performance increase in muh gaymes only
Christian Mitchell
Pretty significant, probably in 4K territory, but I can't see why you'd want that bezel gap right in the fucking middle for anything where you'd get frame drops
Just get the fastest RAM there is without a significant price increase. Can't hurt, for DDR4 it's like 3000MHz I think
Evan Bailey
Computers were able to depict "4k" fifteen years ago. >acting as if it's something new
Charles Thomas
The one I could get and is also supported by the board (also listed on the website in the supported list) is 3200. That's where my question came from it's only a difference from 10 EUR.
Eli Moore
If you don't plan to ever get a second graphics card in that system, your consumption should never increase above 450W. I, personally, wouldn't get a 650W and probably go for a silent 550W with single rail.
Jordan Wood
Yeah, I knew that you (he) had the Z170 chipset. Even so, the RAM will just be downclocked to 2133 by a cheaper chipset like H110
Ryan Powell
Not necessarily. There are likely to be affordable 300W cards by the end of the 14/16nm gen.. not that I'd buy one. I bet AMD's VEGA is already going to be up there at 250W, and we're only on the first lineup after the process shrink
Benjamin Myers
Would it be worth getting a true spirit 140? It seems to be considered better then the 212 and it's only like 20$ more.
Jaxson Carter
how did I do?
Leo White
Don't need cooler (stock will be fine) Don't need Z170 mobo if you have a locked CPU and aren't going to SLI (1060 has no official SLI capability) Get a 250GB SSD Unless you've got an old HDD get one
Brandon Evans
>Don't need Z170 mobo Follow up is that a H110 or H170 mobo is what you want
Carson Thompson
ah ok traded the mobo to the Asus H170-PRO and yeah I have a couple of spare HDDs I can use but wanted some faster speeds
what about the psu is that ok? the estimated wattage is only 260W
Zachary Cooper
PSU is fine
I meant definitely get a 250GB SSD, add a HDD unless you've got some
Gabriel Bell
Any not too loud fan cooler recommendations for the i5-6600K which would allow me to clock it to 4 GHz ?
William Richardson
ok, thanks bro
Isaac Hernandez
Is this fine?
I went with the 3gb 1060 instead of the 6gb to save a little money since I'm willing to turn down settings to get a good framerate (also there's virtually no difference between ultra and high/medium in like 99% of console ports)
I already have a 1tb hdd that i'm going to throw in it so storage isn't a concern.
Nicholas Flores
Add 250GB SSD
Eli Morgan
Saw a video earlier claiming the Intel microcode preventing the OCing of non-K chips was just a rumor and showed that they can still be OC'd. Is it worth it to save a couple hundred bucks? Benchmark performance put an i3-6100 at 4.6ghz performing near an i7 6700k at stock speeds, which sounds pretty good for literally half the price.
Luke Collins
I'm considering that strategy if Zen disappoints and doesn't start a price war with Intel. I'd think a cheap locked i5 would be a better OC target, but I haven't really looked into it
Carter Evans
I'm gonna keep looking into it tonight when I get back to a computer. Supposedly ASRock released non-z170 boards that can OC non-k chips without using an outdated BIOS update, but I don't know how reliable they are. But $60 for a b150 mATX mobo and $120 for an i3 6100 isn't bad at all if it can OC to 4.6ghz or higher.
Brayden Reyes
Just get the 6GB
Hunter Wood

Wyatt Jenkins
hi Cred Forums.
my desktop croaked and I'm planning on building a desktop instead. I'm not really up to date on what's the current specs now since I really don't pay attention much to pc world but I'd like to build a desktop that can support VMs since my line of work is concentrated on firewalls routers and load balancers. My last laptop that died couldn't handle 5 checkpoint vms (it was basically an i3 lel) but it can handle router IOUs.
tldr. What specs or build would you recommend for a desktop that has to handle VMs? I really don't care much about the vc since I don't do pc gaming much (only games that I play on pc are civ 5 and most likely civ 6) so i can splurge more on the memory and processor. Budget is about $1000. preferably intel though
thanks.
Henry Foster
Why are refurbished hard drives frowned upon? If the manufacturer fixed and tested it, then what's the issue?

I've seen people use large amounts of RAM in VM builds. RAM is cheap anyway, so get 32GB
Brandon Campbell
Anyone in here know if you can make it so your monitors turn off and on with your PC?
Jordan Cooper
-Buy the cheapest optical drive.
-Is ddr3 RAM really that high? ddr4 is cheaper for higher speeds.
-If its worth the price, get the i7, or the overclockable i5
Ian Martinez
I think I'm thinking way too hard about this.
What type of fans, airflow or static pressure, do I get for a front intake with a solid front like the Define S? What type of fan should go in the back? Are these propeller-style fans actually pieces of crap that can't even penetrate dust filters? Do I get 120mm or 140mm for better airflow/static pressure?
I don't even know right now.
Grayson Lee
Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 8GB Video Card
Why are Radeon GPU's so cheap ? Apart from their high temps and watt usage, they offer more memory for less price
do they perform worse? 3gb NVIDIA cost more than a $230 8gb radeon gpu and im second guessing my build
Joseph Rogers
Look up ASRock Hyper boards. Out of stock in most places, but the h170 and b150 have external clock generators and cost around $100.
Ethan Butler
8GB of VRAM is only going to be useful if you're playing games at very high resolutions. You can play 4K games on a RX 480, but it won't run well. Most people are fine with a 4GB card. Don't worry about how much VRAM a card has, just look at benchmarks.
They gave the HD 5450 1GB of VRAM, but that doesn't mean you can play any game that requires that much VRAM smoothly. Giving a card lots of VRAM is just a way of confusing ignorant consumers and tricking them into buying low end cards.
Ethan Cox
If you're gaming at 1080p then an 8GB card is essentially a waste.
a 3GB card however is equally a waste because 1080p gaming at higher settings can go beyond 3GB on modern titles.
4-6GB is the ideal positioning at the moment.
Chase Johnson
Anyone here have a build in the MasterCase 5? How good is it?

The case is otherwise pretty good. I could try it and return it if it doesnt fit but that is such a hassle.
At the moment, true. But in future the requirements will climb up and thus 8gb might be able to last a year or two longer. I bought a 2gb version over 1gb back in the day and I'm not regretting it at all.
Jason Martinez
the amd fx coolers are loud as hell, the wraith and near silent 125w are the only decent ones, intel coolers still suck but amd is picking up their game.
. i don't think you understood him. I don't mess with oc either seems like a hassle and fiddly to get minor increases
Id cut the itx and everything down to the point that i could get an i5 and run it until it was no longer relevant or just save and wait for amd

It's worth a shot I guess, I would order a backup as well because having your components touch the side panel is no bueno. If it fits, return the backup.
Benjamin Parker
I'll just use my current one if it doesnt fit. It still works but it looks like a mess and has an integrated PSU that is about ten years old now.

>G.Skill Ripjaws V or Corsair Vengeance LPX
Had to choose between these two moments ago. I chose Ripjaws V since they were a little cheaper, but otherwise identical spec-wise. Although I think the Ripjaws V has one timing that's a little smaller, so I guess it has a negligible performance boost over LPX. I'd choose whichever looks better to you.
Liam Peterson
Don't you have a 4+4 or 4+2 pin? My old Thermaltake had those. If no, then yes, you'll need a new PSU with 6/8 pin. >Thinking about a 1070/fury x Dunno about the fury x, but 1070 flies.
Jacob Flores
Z170 mobos.
Andrew Young
I'd get a ~500W PSU just to be on the safe side.

$2K AU budget. It's a reward after getting a bonus. I never spend money on myself really.
There are obviously some choices based on aesthetics.
Jaxson Flores
What do you guys think of part picker's "Modest Build"? I know very little, but I've been looking at a lot of other builds and I don't see anyone else using the GPU recommended here, so it seems suspicious. I'm just looking for a decent machine that will last for a few years before I need to upgrade.
Seems good. eBay has a 15% off coupon valid for the next 2 days. If you buy your parts on there you may save hundreds, could use the savings to upgrade to the GTX 1080.
Hudson White
>LED Memory You should buy some LED fans and stripes, too. Oh, and change the case to pic related, this rig will look like a blast!
Liam Young
Sounds reasonable hoped to be able to dodge the extra costs but well. What's the worst thing that could happen with using a too weak psu? Could I fry parts? Fury x has basically the same performance with a little bit better boost on dx12/vulkan while the 1070 ocs better.
Noah Watson
what is the cheapest cpu that won't bottleneck a 1060 6gb? would an i3 be ok?
Grayson Scott
skylake i3 should be alright, might be kinda cpu bound in a game like ps2 or arma 3
Aaron Scott
alrighty
Hunter Fisher
Noob/first-time builder here. Are the ports on the motherboard supposed to clip into the I/O shield? I'm asking because although the motherboard is screwed in, the ports are closer to the shield on the left-hand side (pic related) than on the right hand side. Also, what are the thin metal "legs" on the I/O shield that touch the ports for?
Logan Taylor
Ahahahah Go ahead, enjoy your same-priced fury X, much better than this generation of cards without the added harm of driving prices down
Asher Hall
If you draw too much then the PSU will shut itself down as safety measure. This means that your PC will suddendly turn off or reboot in the middle of your gayming session.
Brody Lopez
The pins are there for grounding I think, they're supposed to touch the metallic parts of the ports. Just push it deeper in, if the pins are giving you trouble then try bending them to the correct shape.
Jose Long
It's impressive you managed to earn so much money at the age of 14 cause that how old your build let's me believe you are. A shame really, cause if you were older and mature, you would get either stuff that is exceptional for the same money, or save close to a 1000 dollars on just about the same thing. Instead, you chose to be a dank memer, and i respect that. There need to be people that post in the "memes i fell for" threads.
Adam Cooper
Hi guys, i wanted to build a gaming pc with the money i earned this summer. Anyway i have 850€ and i'm from France so i chose this parts:
Seasonic G-550 Alimentation HyperX FURY - 8Go Kit (2x 4Go) 2133MHz DDR4 MSI B150M Mortar Micro ATX Socket Seagate ST1000DM003 Barracuda 3,5" SATA III 7200/min 1 To Intel Core i5-4590 3.7 GHz 6Mo Cache Socket 1150 TP-Link TL-WDN4800 450 Mbps MSI GTX970 1114 MHz 4096 Mo PCI-Express Samsung EVO SSD 250 Go SATA Fractal Design Case.
Did i make the right choice for this budget ? I mostly play games like Overwatch, Rocket League and LoL but i also play lots of solo games like Witcher, Dishonored, GTAV, Skyrim (with mods) and so on...
Thanks for your time.
Cooper Barnes
Which Fractal Design case?
For the price of that i5 get instead an i5 6600/6500
If you can pick a 1060 (the Zotac one has a fair price here in EU instead of the MSI and Asus Strix ones) instead of the 970
You'll be fine with Overwatch (you have smooth 60+ fps in ultra settings with a 970) and f2p games, but don't expect outstanding results with games like TW3
Ryan Ortiz
Your choice of cpu is incompatible with the motherboard. What you need a socket 1151 cpu i.e skylake, a 6500 would be a good choice.
DO NOT buy a gtx 970 unless you see it brand new for $199 or less. Otherwise buy a gtx 1060. Rx 470 from AMD is a good choice also.
Jayden Cox
sorry for the day late reply, but why would the GPU be the first to go? the 780 still plays everything just fine
Gavin Watson
Oh ok guys, thank you for your replies ! I didn't know that the cpu wasn't compatible haha... But isn't the 1060 more expensive ? And if i get to play the witcher on med-high settings at 60fps, it will be fine. Anyway thank you again for your replies!
Juan Baker
Why pay attention to /pcbg/? it's the most reddit thread on Cred Forums.
The 780 is pretty much the same as a 970, a capable GPU.
Don't want to upgrade for at least 2.5 years. Don't think I will overclock. Want to be able to run BF1 at a minimum of 144 fps 1080p (high settings). Average fps and max fps don't care.
Can I drop to a gtx 1060 if I will use a 120hz 1680x1050 monitor, high settings bf1, absolute minimum 120fps?
Building a budget pc, with an eye on the future. I need to replace my laptop sooner than later, and I want to go with a new desktop. I can afford to get a graphics card, but it's not necessary right now. Planning on upgrading to i5 in the future as well.
Any tips? Should I just bite the bullet and pick some better parts? Budget is under 800$ canadian,
Jacob Peterson
I have a very similar build to that (i5 6500 & gtx 1070). During the BF1 beta, I was able to run it at 1440p low settings at around 50-60fps, so at 1080p you'll be able to run it somewhere between 60 and 144fps. Also it was a beta, idk how much more optimized the game will get before release.
Brody Bell
What are you planning to do with he PC you're building? If it's gaming, I'd wait until Zen is out to do anything.
Connor Foster
Dunno how far canuck dollaros will take you, but that build is not ideal for any upgrades whatsoever.
Hudson Peterson
Near future just need for browsing, movies and excel. Gaming in future but no time for fun right now.
They don't go very far. The path is gtx1060 (it fits), then an i5-6500. Potentially I can skip the ssd and get a better mobo. I will be harvesting my hdd from my laptop
Ryan Foster
The 970 is only cheaper if you buy refurbished. Id argue the 1060 3gb is a better purchase, because the 970 only has 500mb more usable VRAM (proven in court)
David Jenkins
>upgrading your CPU >ever >actually making a plan to upgrade it Get a medium-tier, overclockable CPU now and then you won't have to worry about it ever again until non-silicon wafers for consumers is realistic. The upper limit of silicon CPUs was reached years ago, now Intel is just tacking features on while they work on non-silicon, giving AMD has plenty of time to catch up (maybe zen will have somewhat acceptable power at crazy low prices)((I wouldn't hold your breath personally))
My brother's a cutting-edge cuck so I'm getting some parts to play around with. I want to build a compact and quiet Linux box with good multi-monitor capabilities and storage opportunities. I like the case, but I wish the top filter didn't look as ugly. Could I replace that with a solid panel and turn the PSU around so the fan is facing down or is that ill-advised?

Ian Brooks
Personally I'd say the 60euro ASRock, more usb3 and nvme boot support. But I'd say if the asrock warranty is 1yr and the Gigabyte is 3yr then get the gigabyte
Looks good but get the 3000MHz RAM for kicks. It's like 5 bucks more
Spend 75 canadabux more for an i3 6100
Get a 250GB SSD, 120 is cramped Don't need a Z170 mobo with a locked CPU and no SLI
Get the new platform, an Intel 6000 series with DDR4. If you're getting a 970, just buy used.
Do you really want that cpu cooler? After all I doubt you will be pushing that i5 to its limit that often and the stock cooler gets the job done. Intel's locked chips really don't suck all that much juice this day and age so skimping on the cooler can save more money.
Cameron Perry
Don't listen to this guy, overclocking is the least cost effective way to improve your pc. If cost is an object get the i5 6500 (non overclocking) and an H motherboard, and save the ~$100 you save on a better graphics card later on.
Jordan Brown
You can drop to 2133 ram if it's cheaper. Mobo doesn't support higher than that (2400 will work but mobo will downclock it)
looks good but i sure hope it looks good because i'm

Ditch the AIO for a good air cooler - it'll cool the chip better and won't be as loud as those shitty 120mm units are (hint: never, ever use anything less than a 240mm rad when watercooling in an ATX case).
Also: that case is pig disgusting - Cred Forums only approves the fractal design R5 and its chibi versions.

Fractal really needs to make a metal front panel. The Define R5 is 10/10 but that plastic front panel is the cheapest fucking thing. Corsair doesn't seem interested in making any more Obsidian cases so there's an opportunity there.
Aaron Evans

also buying case fans and adding HDD soon after Noctua NF-F12 PWM 120mm
Hudson Kelly
thanks mang
Robert Watson
Noctua coolers are good, but their fans are overpriced. Fractal Venturis are very good fans, as well as Cougar Vortexes. What are you looking for out of your motherboard by the way?
Thomas Price
i got a 120mm noctua hsf for $20 shipped on ebay...
How's this look for a media / home theater build? Will probably include some very light gaming as well (emulators mostly). I'd like the case to be as compact as reasonably possible.
Looking to keep it under $300, don't need to worry about monitor, peripherals, etc. I have an extra HDD as well for storage.
The only thing I'm really iffy on is the case, I've never dealt with an HTPC/small form factor case before. I'm finding a lot that also come with PSUs installed, but I think it'd be smarter to get my own PSU.
Any tips?
Jonathan Long
Look at the post above you.
Carson Torres
Eh kay? Im not the kind of person who thinks newest is best especially knowing that Sandy bridge Xeons can still handle everything I do without breaking a sweat On the other side Nvidia doomed 9x0 cards with legacy while amd cards get more and more optimised.

Grayson Ortiz
>Sandy Bridge >decade old Kay
Oliver Taylor
Technology is still growing at a less than exponential rate nowadays, it's still safe to assume that the newest technology/architecture/manufacturing is better unless you hit a plateau years ago (like the CPU you're relating to any other legacy hardware) or the company pulls some money grabbing shit (like Microsoft, but OS's just can't really get better at all if they're already good, just future compatible) The fury X vs 1070 is still a valid argument and a valid rivalry, but the new mini-mini pascal tech shits all over the fury's performance per watt At max it's a nearly 250w card vs a 150w card with the biggest advantages being specific optimization

Asher Harris
Bad, if you're getting a 470, get an i3. The 470 will be held back by that Athlon X4. You want a modern DDR4 platform.
Also you might consider the 4GB 470 and x2 4GB RAM to save a little money
Tyler White
If you're looking at actual raw performance, perf/watt isn't a totally bad comparison, but perf/dollar is WAY more important How much cheaper is the fury X? I'm curious now as I remember seeing it very close to the 1070 in a lot of benchmark
I know, it's a good deal, just not significant to most people buying whatever meme PC parts then adding a mild overclock, if they even do that >eBay Oh god for your sake lets hope it is, make sure they ain't no gooks selling that

I dont reall play that many demanding games, and I only play at 1080p I think the fury should be fine, and honestly with the rest of my system being old (8350 until zen) it doesnt matter to me to have a top notch gpu wat do
Joshua Martin
Looks solid overall. are you sure you benefit from the Quadro? Motherboard?
Eli Diaz
quadro is the modeling/cad workstation card. vidya cards are useless. Haven't decided on a mobo yet, need to figure it out/
Matthew Russell
What 650w'ish PSU would you recommend to power a 6700k, gtx 1070, 1-2 ssds and hdds each, and 2-3 USB devices and fans?
I know that 650w is more than enough and then some, but I usually upgrade my GPU some time down the road.
I'd prefer it to be as silent as possible, which includes not having high-frequency noise coming from it under load.
Justin Watson
>New GPU with HARDCORE xXMODEL1NGXx TECHNOLOGY
Carter Thomas
The i7 6950x is the modeling/cad workstation CPU, xeons are useless.
Jonathan Nguyen
Depends what you're trying to spend. My build is very similar to yours, using an EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS.
Also, in general I'd rather spend some extra bucks and make sure I'm not pestered by noise in the next 5 years.
Benjamin Baker
Can you recommend a low profile cooler for a Xeon E5-162-v3?
Ayden Barnes
Power is 50-350Watts, with headroom to crossfire another GPU when the time comes, total cost $950
What do you think? suggestions? concerns? I appreciate any input
Angel Martinez
vidya cards use directx, modeling cards use opengl. the methods for rendering is way different. I think the quadro k620 is equivalent to a gtx 730 or something
Mason Russell
>$1600 for cpu >Budget max of $1500 Also, if you weren't aware, CAD programs like SolidWorks can't actually use 10 cores. Literally no benefit to getting it if you don't do a lot of post-production rendering
Jonathan Watson
Could you get something better for that price with extra vram? The newer quadro cards are nuts prices though
Owen Thompson
I wish workstation cards were as cheap as vidya cards. I heard someone say that you need something like 16gb vidya card to do anything decent for modeling because of how different the architecture is

Is a 1080 a good enough upgrade from a 390 for the price to be worth it? I could run witcher 3 at high/ulta with a stable 70+ with screen tearing, but as soon as I put vsync on it hovered around 50-55. I just want to play with vsync on and have a stable 60 fps.

According to jonnyguru, the 650w versions of the EVGA G2 and Corsair RMi did not need to turn on their fans until loads got into the mid-300 watt range.
Given how nice your system is, it's worth it to pay a little more for a G2 or RMi. Don't settle for an EVGA GS (not terrible, but the fan on the first 550 GS I bought was so noisy I RMA'd it).

I found out that by buying the CPU, GPU, and motherboard at my local Microcenter, I could save a considerable amount of money (~$50). I now have roughly $100 extra in my $1000 budget (~$45 of sales taxes). Should I expand on anything in my build, or call it a day? I was thinking of a 2TB HDD for mass storage, but I don't know which models are considered "safe." People bash Seagate and WD drives, but they seem to have better review ratios on Amazon, where I'll be buying the drive unless Microcenter has it at a better price; whereas the Hitachi/HGST drives have remarkably lower ratings.
Just get a 3tb seagate barracuda and don't look back
Nathan Scott
HDDs are almost always the first component expected to break. It's true that a single HDD has the potential to run perfectly fine for 20 years, but at the same time that is only a potential. It's a gamble.

that case wont accept an atx psu
use itx, for $300 you could use an a8-7600, 3.3-3.8 ghz in 65w mode, great igpu that can be clocked to 1000+ mhz in bios, can xfire a 250 for gayman. basicially a locked 7650k.
here's the smallest build I could do with an atx psu if that's what you wanted. right at your budget. The ram is lame looking but it was the cheapest 2400 and the case has no window. You really want the fastest ram you can get for apu builds.
clock the gpu as high as you can and it will be great little media and emulation rig.
If you're hardcore into retro gaming is the only reason to get an a6 as the 6400k can xfire a 6450 and the hd 6450 can be flashed with atom 15 and use crt_emudriver for pixel perfect 15khz 240p RGB output.

I have upgraded my GPU roughly every two to three years for the last two upgrades. Do you think that the rx480's DX12/Vulkan performance will be relevant before then? Or will it not matter until I already want to replace it for the next upper-mid tier card in a couple years?
Aiden Taylor
Solid build overall. Like the Noctua cooler, worthwhile upgrade over an Evo if you have the cash. Attractive and popular case.
I went ahead and got that one since I liked the look more, should I replace the fans in the case or stick with the included ones? pcpartpicker.com/list/jcywgL
Blake Scott
I'd stick with included ones and that cooler and see how it goes. If you need more/better ones you can always do that later on as needed, right?
Justin Rivera
Which one, Cred Forums?
I think I have an issue with making decisions.
Elijah Roberts
Definitely either the 8GB 480 or the 6GB 1060, don't buy into the lower RAM cards. I'd personally go for the 1060, but for the price you might get better performance out of the 480. I'm not up to date with my benchmarks.
Aiden Ortiz
A Fury could beat both (assuming you have a good enough PSU). It's on sale for less than those two cards once you add the usual Jet coupons.
