sup Sup Forums My motherboard died on my old computer Looking for a middle of the road build, and got this from Logical Increments
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 BOM ATX AM3+ Motherboard Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case It all comes out to around $494.24 on newegg. How's it look?
I should be able to reuse my Corsair HX650w series as the power supply for this build right? PCparts builder says that this build should come to around 384w and 650w should be plenty. Also, I forgot to get a wireless adapter on my previous build so I had to use a UBS wifi adapter. It seems to work pretty fine. Should I just stick with that or should I look into getting a more complex wifi adapter?
Parker Peterson
Is HIS a good brand?
Evan Baker
Hey nigs, need a hand. I'm taking apart my brothers old PC to try and figure out what I can use for my new one. Most of the parts arrive on Tuesday.
I got the GPU out no problem, but the PSU, HDD and CD Drive are being pains in the ass. They each have a single screw that's fucking me over. It's as tight as a nuns arse.
I just sprayed them with WD40 and waited ten minutes, but not much is budging. Help?
Aiden Gray
>FX-6300 There is no need to go for one of these CPUs any longer. An i3-6100 is slightly worse at multi-threaded performance and significantly better at single-threaded performance. An H110 motherboard can be had for less than the price of a 970X AM3+ motherboard these days, as well.

more or less noname shit but go for it if it's at least 33% cheaper I guess

Owen Roberts
Well what else can a nigga do?
Austin Smith
Not spray conductive fluids near electrical components?
Matthew Cooper
What are your current specs? The rest of your hardware might not be toast.
Zachary Harris
Use a non-conductive lubricant?
Cameron Wilson
Thanks for the advice. Any other tips then?

Well to be honest, my computer is 5 years old at this point, so I've been looking to upgrade anyway.
Ian Williams
Heat the metal around the screw and using more force to twist?
Blake Edwards
I AM ONE WEAK AS FUCK NIGGA
How to heat?
Christopher Nguyen
Normally I'd say that you lose a lot and pay more for an ITX board, but H81/H110 seems made to be for the form factor. However, why are you using a DDR3L board with a DDR3 RAM? Play it safe and choose the DDR4 variant of the same board and a DDR4-2133 RAM for the same price.

Jonathan Lopez
Take a heat gun or hair drier and start blowing air in a circular motion around the stuck screw. That way the metal heats up the steel chassis.
Kevin Mitchell
That's really handy and neat to know. Thank you, user.

is there a recent GPU that's midway between a 480/1060 and a 1070?
Connor Davis
GPU is from my old build. Getting a new one on black Friday.
Any other shit? The rest of the stuff I just bought.
Cameron Campbell
Whats your budget nig and put on pcpartpicker.com
Eli Allen
>ITX board >ATX case It'll fit, but why?
Did you strip the screws? Are the screws hex and phillips or just phillips?
Do you have a CPU heatsink? I assume you're going to upgrade the GPU once prices get closer to MSRP?
Jaxon Cook
I still think you're a fucking drooling retard for spraying WD40 inside a computer, but whatever makes you happy, you retard

CPU: Intel Core i3-6100 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor ($110.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: MSI H110M Gaming Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($69.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($38.88 @ OutletPC) Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($45.88 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Asus Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card ($147.99 @ Newegg) Case: Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case ($50.98 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair Professional 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply Total: $464.71
Also, it says under compatibility MSI H110M Gaming Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.
The Cooler Master HAF 912 ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 390mm long, but video cards over 270mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus Radeon R9 380 4GB Video Card is 271mm long, some drive bays may not be usable.
Should I be that concerned? >but why? Logical Increments
Justin Williams
>Do you have a CPU heatsink? I assume you're going to upgrade the GPU once prices get closer to MSRP? Oh yeah, I bought just a cheap one from Amazon.

everything else seems pretty good
SSD is the only thing that I'd consider subpar, but it'll be fine and you can always get a 2nd one later on (vs. a CPU, which is harder to replace)
Brandon Sanchez

I do not deny that I am clueless.

See if you can get a board with a mini pcie wifi card. Much more reliable than USB.
Logan Hernandez
The Sandisk SSD at that size is like $10 more and has great review over the "bait and switch" Kingston
Michael Perry
1070
Zachary Morris
Is this good now?
The PNY is because RX 480 and 1060s are the same price here. And this is the cheapest two fan 1060. Please tell me if I'm thinking wrong.
Lincoln Williams
1060 or 480, whichever you prefer. I'm assuming you don't use both monitors for gaming. Since you seem to like keeping parts as long as possible, go for the 480. This is assuming AMD keeps up their current trend of improved performance with driver updates.
Can you afford to bump it up to the 6500?
Joseph Butler
How's this look for a middle of the road PC? Also, if I were to take the storage from my previous computer and hook it up with my new one, would it have all my files still in it?
Matthew Baker
Ya but people where saying a 6400 wouldn't bottleneck a 1060.
Is that right?
Owen Richardson
looks like a ghetto case. might want to double czech.
unless there's some feature you need you can get a 10-20$ cheaper board.
PSU is a little overkill. 500W would be fine.
Sure you don't want AC wireless?
Colton Collins
Z170 fully decked out or just non-overclock for the price savings? I'm 100% sure I don't need to overclock, but it would be nice in a few years
Jeremiah Perry
>looks like a ghetto case. might want to double czech. I'm not sure what you mean >unless there's some feature you need you can get a 10-20$ cheaper board. Like what? >PSU is a little overkill. 500W would be fine. It's a recycled part from my previous tower, which I built when I was in high school >Sure you don't want AC wireless? That might be a good idea
James Martinez
too lazy to link but there are boards 10-20$ cheaper that would work with everything you have there (assuming you haven't picked that board for some additional feature not listed)
the case looks bad. check reviews.
Benjamin Bennett
in particular, why ATX? Do you need the extra space?
The mATX boards and cases are a little cheaper, plus your case will be less bulky
Ethan Flores
No point paying the Z170 overclock tax if you're not going to use it. However, buy an unlocked CPU for better stock speeds and way better resale value down the line, but only if you already have a cooler or you'll spend the profit on one.
I would invest in a SSD. So much time is saved when your OS and programs load instantly.
Robert Cooper
So instead of paying 200$ for Win 10 and dvd drive, does anyone have a torrent for win 7 or 10 that works so I can use a thumb drive instead. Want to put that money into a better GPU.
Caleb James
There's a decent performance bump. Bottlenecking is a meme.
Looks fine. Not sure about the keyboard and mouse, but I don't have any better suggestions.

Christopher Howard
What? I want to absolute best of the best and I'm not concerned at all about spending more than $20k if I have to. I've got nothing else to spend it on after taxes, rent, grocery, and the occasional trip to the bar.
Zachary Wilson
What's the best SSD with around 500gb of storage?
Wyatt Carter
at least get an i5. i3 will limit your 380
Thomas Reed
Is it really necessary? I was kinda hoping I could keep this under $500 Not that it's that big of a problem, but still
Brody Mitchell
The best is probably more than you need to pay for. At 500GB you're pretty safe with any budget-tier SSD since lifetime relates to size.
e.g. for the price of an M.2 Intel/Samsung "Pro" SSD you could buy 2 SATA Crucial SSDs and RAID them for piece of mind if you think one will just stop working one day.
>i7 6700k >$300 >eBay >new with 3yr warranty Or wait until black friday, I'm kind of anxious to hop on a deal, since most of my components just died recently.
Robert Thomas
So just spend it all on one computer with a dual CPU board. Using a separate computer to record and steam the video seems terribly inefficient.
Brayden Reed
>Using a separate computer to record and steam the video seems terribly inefficient Why though? I've heard Shadowplay and OBS has trouble capturing 4K streams even with an i7-5960X.
Xavier Morris
Samsung makes the best SSDs, but that comes at a premium.
If a bottleneck supposedly appears in a system with double the CPU power of another but still a single GPU, then it sounds like it would be a bottleneck on GPU bandwidth caused by trying to download 60 4K frames per second. Couldn't you just have the GPU feed back to a capture card on the same system?
I thought that the CPU was actually hitting a wall because both encoding 4K video on the fly and playing games on it at the same time pushed even eight core Intels to their limits and causes performance dips on both encoding speed and FPS.
Noah Butler
user back from earlier, made some changes.
Built in wifi on motherboard, different case, M2 SSD, different cooler, DDR4 RAM.
Same shit applies, items without prices are already owned, already spent £85 on the 7950, looking to keep it below £315 for other parts, looking to play recent games on medium-high and older ones on very-high to ultra.
Can this be improved in any other way now?
Luis Smith
So why not use two CPUs? I assume one can encode 4k in real-time?
Luis Rivera
32gb is too small for your boot drive.
Adam Stewart
I can't overclock CPUs on dual socket motherboard.
Samuel Hall
My ssd pooped itself apparently. I've been having awful issues with corrupt system files, freezing, bsod, even after reinstalling windows numerous times. I finally decided to install the OS on my 1tb hdd, and I'm not having any issues so far. The speed is noticeably slower though and would like to eventually install my OS on another ssd. What's a good ssd for under 100$?
M2 is the dankest of memes the Intel 600p m2s are cheaper tho
Lucas Price
Get the Fury Nitro if it's still $300, it kicks both their asses even though it runs hot. I got sick of holding my breath for a fucking worse but newer card for $280 (the 480)
It's the difference between driving a nice powerful mid-tier 6-cylinder car and then driving a gay little prius.
Fucking kicks DOOM and Farcry Primals asses in 1440p. Paid more for the monitor but don't regret anything.
Henry Scott
>512GB 600p is $200 cheaper than the 950 pro No shit, thanks m8.
Austin Collins
Wait nevermind, was looking at the murrican newegg site. Still cheaper by about $100 on the milkbagland site.
Kevin Smith
OCZ ARC-100
Nathan Turner
I jumped on my 6600k when it was on sale for $220, the 6700k can be found on sale for $315 sometimes so yeah it's a good deal.
Might be cheaper on black friday but hard to find.
>mfw I paid $350 for the Fury Nitro that I tout so much, then saw it for $300 a week later
