You bought into the hyperthreading meme why wouldn't you buy into the 16GB meme? It's the cheaper meme ~Some guy using 9GB right now
Robert Lee
This
t. using 9 GB as well right now, and on i5
Benjamin Johnson
Was going to try to wait until cyber monday to upgrade things, but my laptop screen broke and no way on hell am I going a month without a computer (only have laptop right now).
Thinking about getting one of the ultrabook things, but I'm wary about them. Anyone have any opinions? Found one for about $800 with a a 500gb solid state (or 1T normal hardrive), and intel 520 or something. Don't know much about, what would you do for laptop primarily used to watch video and shitpost?

Can someone rate/advise my build? I litterally threw it together in the span of maybe 10 minutes by browsing what the best selling things were off Newegg that were within the budget/power I was looking for
Going to reuse my 1TB HDD from my current computer and also getting a Hyper212 heatsink again.
All in all it's about $1100. Probably don't plan on making any purchases until Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
Michael Watson
>970 stop
Ryan Gray
I can do that on my phone with one touch...
Henry Gutierrez
What's wrong with a 970? What would be better?
Austin Powell
How much do you actually save on computer parts on Black Friday/Cyber Monday?
Ian Sullivan
It's hit or miss depending on what actually gets put on sale. But the last time I built my PC back in '13 I saved quite a bit on various parts here and there. Definitely worth the wait rather than paying full retail price.
Brody Edwards
3.5 housefire Just get a 1070 or literally anything else.
Luis Price
Is a ASUS Z170-P an ok mobo, should I get something else instead?
Camden Flores
Have any of you tried buying cheap windows 10 OEM keys? I really want to avoid the expensive original retail prices.
Luke Howard
I bought mine from ebay. Just look for a seller with a lot of stars and good feedback. And read through the feedback.
My key cost like 20€
Brayden Gonzalez
Thanks babe
Sebastian Cox
rip a windows 7 key off an old laptop dont spend any money at all on windows
Josiah Reyes
(you) Seriously, this is awful. You can do about this good or better for the same price.
My updated build, im pretty new to all this so any recommendations are greatly appreciated, thank you pcpartpicker.com/list/s4X64C

Let me know if this is good. I take your criticism very seriously!
Jeremiah Harris
Does one really need an anti static wristbands for first time pc build?
James Murphy
no :/ are some of the parts overkill? im still iffy on this stuff
Sebastian Allen
just get one, theyre like 5 bucks and then you wont have to worry about static electricity fucking your shit up.
Hey guys im having trouble with getting my pc to run. Last night I had the cases power button lit up but today ive got no light after following the manual and making sure everything was in properly. Where do I go from here? If i plug in the 12V and 24-Pin will my cpu cooler/fan start up? So far everything has been dead.
Leo Cook
I'm a fucking dumbass.
I'll be doing the gayming and some light CAD work on NX 9.0.
Liam Williams
plug in the cord on the right [spoiler]:^)[/spoiler]
Adam Martin
my bad, not gonna do editing, just playing games and this is my 1st build, im pretty computer stupid
Cooper Price
Is it a good idea to base my build around the case?
I like the look of those small cases, I think fractal do them. I just need a medium spec for programming and to replace a couple of laptops that are getting old now. A decent GPU would be nice. Would a small case have enough room for a medium spec build?
Not so much the case, but the form factor + price is what you want to look for.
Andrew Rodriguez
I tried to scrap together a list, knowing very little about building computers, using one of the builds in the OP links as a starting point. I am a little uncomfortable with the idea of overclocking, as I've never done it before (let alone building a computer), and I'm not even sure how necessary I find it to be (when considering the higher heat trade-off), but I didn't see an option on the site to select a non-k model of that series.
I intend on using it for gaming (VR as well) and (potentially) things like 3D modelling and image editing.
I thank you for your time and advice.
Blake Brown
You don't need an i7 then. Switch to i5
Jose Moore
Are gaming mobos a meme?
Christian Cook
Newegg mostly. I bought my processor from a local Microcenter. Typically they're cheaper on CPUs.
I think I may have bought a HDD or SSD from Tiger Direct but the majority of my parts I ordered through Newegg
Jason Sullivan
>32gb ram
Really nigga?
Why do you need a full tower when mid towers efficient
Michael Mitchell
Like I said, I don't know shit. I guess I could do 16GB instead and drop down to a mid tower.
Ian Brown
Where's your hard drive? :O
Adam Torres
I picked out a solid state drive there. I already have two external hard drives.
Evan Turner
cool, ty :)
Josiah Brown
I dont understand whats going on. I just breadboarded this to make sure it was working, I shorted it with a screw driver and everything started working fine. Now that I've put the mobo back into the case its not working anymore???? The fuck
Nathaniel Martin
shit mobo
Ethan Cruz
have you tried plugging in the other cables too?
Henry Robinson
I done it with just the two before because i didnt want to overcomplicate it and it worked fine with both connectors. Now for some reason it wont respond at all. Elaborate? Why would it work before and not now?
Cooper Diaz
I also had it working with the power button via the Power SW
Colton Richardson
did you try turning it on and off again?
Robert Wright
Standoffs/shorting somewhere?
Zachary Reed
Im checking that now, how will I know for sure? Whay should I be looking for on particular?

What'd I fuck up?
Considering going up to a 3 or 4TB HDD, do they have significantly worse failure rates or anything? Also, is the extra .2GHZ of the 6600k worth the extra cash? I assume not but it can't hurt to confirm, I guess.
Alexander Nelson
Another question sorry, my IO Plate isnt touching my mobo, should it be?
Ethan King
Don't let the mobo come into contact with any metal on the case. Make sure there are supports/standoffs between mobo and case. Your mobo should come with them or the case may have them preinstalled
Charles Gomez
>IO Plate Don't think that matters, but they are annoying
Adam Bennett
I see no point in getting a GTX1070 and i5-6600, specially with that case.
Adam Davis
Why? I want a decent gaming PC, I'm just also interested in having something small. The airflow is perfectly fine with the way the case is laid out, the PSU, CPU and GPU fans are all pulling directly through the grills.
Mason Hill
You shouldn't get last gen parts without a good reason, and you ESPECIALLY shouldn't get last gen parts from Nvidia.
Joshua Scott
Let me say this. I have a silverstone raven rvz02 and same cooler as you have picked with i5 4670k and a gtx970, it runs pretty hot quickly. My friend has recently build a pc of his own with thermaltake core v1, which has a pretty small footprint plus he can add some nice cooling to keep everything cool. I suggest you look into alternatives. Just saying since I don't think you will be happy with the heat.
William Adams
Do you OC at all? Thanks for telling me this by the way, the first hand anecdote is useful.
Jaxson Cox
I cant fucking build a 2k PC, its like im autistic or something, is there hope for me Sup Forums?
Benjamin Jones
No I haven't but I will have to get a new case so I can get better airflow and cooling. If you're gonna go with this case or anything similar, I suggest getting i3 6100 and GTX 1050ti or GTX1060 but if you have time to wait. Wait for the kaby lake i3, seems like it will run cooler and on less power while delivering "14%" more "performance".
Noah Hall
Drop to an i5-6500 and switch the 3.5" Seagate for a 2.5" HGST Travelstar or get a bigger SSD.
Nolan Baker
Not the user, but also interested in a compact gaming pc. What if I only play somewhat older games and the only modern games I play are only Civ VI and Skyrim (I know, I suck casual dick)?
Luke Stewart
Why drop the 3.5? It does fit, the PC Part Picker thing just doesn't account for the extra mounting point you get when you use a short GPU.
Nolan Martin
Smaller drive = possibly better airflow You want a gaming PC in an extrem form factor, you have no luxury regarding space. I can only agree on what the other user said, you'll sooner or later run into temp probs.
James Russell
Sure just get an i3 6100 along with a gtx1050ti or gtx1060 since they're less power hungry and won't generate too much heat, thus won't reach any horrible temps and throttle.
Nathan Nelson
Are any of the console shaped cases actually good enough at cooling to handle high TDP components?
John Powell
The remastered skyrim or skyrim with mods can benefit from the 1060, if only because the game runs like shit anyway
Anthony Wood
Is your GPU blower style? That's pretty important I think, in such a cramped case.
Anthony Watson
Yeah it's hard to bring a gaming computer up to that price
Bentley Nguyen
Smaller drive = lower performance and MUCH lower lifespan Don't fall for the laptop hard drive meme, get a single good 3.5" and place it well and then toss some SSDs all over the case
Jaxon Stewart
3TB drives have significantly worse failure rates
Asher Baker
Is that the case, I can't see how you could fit a GPU on a normal ITX mobo and have it that thin?
Brody Diaz
Riser cards.
Camden Nguyen
That GPU isn't using a blower cooler, which might fuck you over considering the high TDP. Consider going Founders.
But that means you can't use a 3.5 drive, so yymv.
Jayden Thompson
Hahaha so I finally got the damn thing to work and now it wont connect to any monitor hahaha fuck
Brody Cook
trash it restart
Ryan Johnson
Good SFF cases with airflow worth a shit? Budget isn't an issue.
The manta looks nice.
Samuel Ross
I'm Poor, I'm thinking of grabbing a Gtx 1050 and a nice Dell Optiplex Desktop with maybe an Ivy Bridge or Sandy bridge i5. total would be around $250
Is this a good idea? I would just play Mobas and Overwatch
Tyler Hill
Whats a wifi adapter do? What does the k at the end of a CPU do? Is it easy to fuck up your CPU when putting it in? It seems fragile as fuck help pls D:
A WiFi adaptor lets your PC connect to WiFi. Useful if your motherboard has no WiFi built in.
Austin Harris
K means it can be overclocked. Don't get the k if you don't want to overclock. Fucking up a CPU install is easy but as long as you know what you're doing and don't have some kinda motor function disorder, you'll be fine.
Adam Myers
so a PC cant connect to wifi without one? D: i have no idea how to tell if a motherboard has wifi built in, but theyre pretty cheap so ill buy it, ty
Hunter Morgan
WiFi should be listed in the features of a motherboard. And it'll have antennas coming out the back usually.
Luis James
cool, idk what overclocking is or how to do it, but it sounds too complicated for me atm, im very new to all of this and am finally making the switch after playing on console forever, all the help is appreciated a ton
Dylan Barnes
mine has this on the pcpartpicker website ONBOARD ETHERNET 1 x 10/100/1000 Mbps so i guess thats good?
