What /b thinks about my new build?
good i guess if you're playing minecraft or cs:go
Dont buy a WD Blue drive. If you're buying a HDD and not an SSD buy a WD Black.
You're never gonna upgrade with that socket, get a LGA1511 instead.
because more expensive, noisier, uses more power, seek time not necessarily faster
Which is why I've just installed a 2TB blue. Do some research - I was all up for a black, then I did
op-poorfag here, i want it to be a low budget pc that can be upgraded in time
>that can be upgraded
And u baught an 6300 -.-
Get a 250 or 500gig SSD for longer load games and OS.
Better GPU, (no idea why you'd buy the one you did) since the 1080 came out you can pick up 970s and 980s for cheap, gogo ebay.
Also, not super important, but i'd go for 16gig of ram, especially if you're running DDR3, with 8 you'll be fine mostly, but for newer games you're going to want to upgrade.
I've replaced 4 WD Blue drives in builds in the last 5 years. My 1tb Black has been in use for 10 years without issue. Thats why. Learn about Enterprise class drives retard.
Get a 1151 socket mobo/CPU and a better PSU. 500w is fine but get an 80+ rated from a decent brand.
And yeah, you kinda fucked yourself for upgrading by buying that mobo.
I'm still running DDR3 but with a nice cheap 1151.
i havent bought anything, im still thinking about it
You must have some bad luck - or maybe you mistreat them? The blues have a 3 year guarantee, so you should be golden. Also, I run backups.
Nice ad hominem, by the way. Always helps give a winning impression of your opinion. I could also be wrong, but I don't think WD had introduced their colour system 10 years ago
If you've got enough cash, go for a DDR4 compatible mobo. (provided the CPU n shit is compatible)
But honestly, buying a better GPU will have a much bigger effect for the price.
also about the case dude, i got a spec-03.
It's cool and shit, but I'm starting to regret it. Don't really like the way it looks
if i go for 1151, which one u suggest?
no ssd. get out.
Go for the mobo priced around $60
>Western Digital Caviar Blue
That your system drive? The Blue series wasn't made with that in mind. Go for a Black or possibly Red.
Mine (not actually home so this may not be 100% accurate):
Corsair Carbide Spec-02 Limited Edition Redshift
Corsair CX-750M PSU
ASUS Z170-A Pro Gaming MoBo
Intel i7 4.0Ghz
MSI GeForce 1070 Gaming X
Corsair Hydro Series CPU cooling
Samsung EVO 250-some GB SSD for OS
3TB Seagate something-or-other HDD for storage
16GB Ballistik Sport DDR4 RAM
Passable D-Link(?) Wireless Card of some sort - I bring my PC to friends' for couch co-op and not all of them have Ethernet ports nearby.
Red is specifically designed for RAID and large rack installations.
Something like
amazon.co.uk
DDR4, quite cheap. Has a 1151 socket and enough room to SLI if you felt like it.
Some Z170s have had problems, but most are pretty legit.
Do shit-loads of research before you buy anything, that's the best piece of advice I can give.
Yeah, but it won't exactly suffer from the extra idle time of being a system drive. It'll just consume more power. It'd just be overkill.
Can thoroughly recommend the Z170A. Nice BIOS, loads of USB ports, 1151 compatibility. Would also recommend going Intel over AMD on the CPU.
Seconded, fuck AMD.
Error - mine isn't a Z170A - rather, it's just an ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming. Still, highly recommended. Great mobo for the price.
