Is there a difference between these two drives besides the price?
Tyler Jones
noctua heatsink or h100i?
Tyler Evans
Essentially the same
Christian Lopez
Gonna take my time and wait until January to get the CPU/GPU as the prices will hopefully drop drastically. Really excited, as my current PC is ancient 2010 tech.
How well will this run GTA V?
James Howard
>How well will this run GTA V? Sorry, your build is too underpowered to run GTAV even at 480p.
Nicholas Lewis
All those parts aren't worth the money.
Hudson Wood
Can you get am4 boards yet?
Kayden Harris
Price for ram is the same for 3200mhz and the 3000mhz in amazon
I have an i7-3770 with a Raedon HD 7870 2GB and I'm looking to upgrade the GPU. Which one should I take that isn't too expansive (was thinking about the RX 480 since I'm not playing that many recent games) and should I think about upgrading the CPU as well?
Ryan Thomas
Hello Sup Forums i'm looking to build my very first gaming PC for under $1200. I'd assume an i5 and a 1060 will be sufficient for 1080p 60fps?
As this is my 1st time would you please kindly take a look at my build and please give suggestions?
CPU is still really strong. RX480 would be a solid upgrade.
James Bailey
thanks user
i'm gonna keep the original 144hz monitor i had though
Samuel Anderson
144hz is a fucking meme
Landon James
144hz is only a meme if you don't play first person shooters or you're poor.
Ryan Anderson
This.
Lincoln Price
even if it is a meme
the original one i had is cheaper than the one you gave me and it still has a higher refresh rate
i don't give a fuck about the three inches i'm losing in real estate
also i mainly play cs:go so the 144hz actually matters :^)
Ayden Rivera
Can anyone recomend a good computer monitor that would be easier on my eyes? My current one sucks and gives me headaches. Im not a gamer but would like it to be decently big.
James Williams
I have thousands of hours in CS yet it don't feel like I need a 144hz monitor, or a $150 mouse/keyboard.
2560x1440 vs 1920x1080 is much more important
Colton Lee
>playing games in 1440p meme either play in 1080p or 4k imo fuck 1440p
Josiah Watson
high refresh rate monitors are actually really nice to use on desktops considering you don't get nearly as much jitter on scrolling and moving windows
it's like going from a monitor that ghosts to one that doesn't, it doesn't seem like a huge change on paper but makes a huge impact in how nice it it feels to use
Daniel Gutierrez
I'd rather have a 24" 1080p monitor at 144hz than a 27" 1440p monitor at 60hz
Owen Richardson
>playing cs:go at 60 Hz How's that working out for you?
Your opinions are shit. Stop posting here.
Dominic Peterson
this desu
Cooper Morgan
>2560x1440 vs 1920x1080 is much more important No, user, it is not. In fact, many people will take 800x600 with a higher refresh rate over 4k resolution, which is pretty much pointless unless you're playing your games on giant screen.
Brayden Ortiz
My future build that I'll build in the next 6 or so months
CPU: Maybe Zen if the hype lives up, or i5 6600k, i7 6700k Storage: 512GB Samsung 960 Evo Graphics: Either GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 PSU: some 600W~ modular PSU, corsair or seasonic maybe Cooling: Some Noctua air cooler RAM: 16GB or 32GB DDR4 (2666+ MHz) Screen: Probably 24" 1080p 144hz
Should be good. I'd save a few bucks on a cheaper cooler or just use the stock cooler at first and see how it does and use that money to get a 1060 3GB instead of a 1050ti. Well worth the ~60 bucks or whatever.
That power supply is way fucking overkill for what you're putting in there too.
I own that same exact monitor and I really like it but if I were getting a GPU as high end as a 1070 I'd get a 1440p monitor. 1070 and above is kind of wasted on a 1080p monitor even if its 144 Hz. Most games these days can be downsampled from native resolution to a lower one to improve FPS or you could turn down a few settings.
Liam Bailey
Fine for general gaming. Price on that 850 Evo seems a little high for what you're getting.
Jordan Gonzalez
MSI GeForce GTX 1070 ARMOR or if got extra $50 MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G
Benjamin Hughes
try speaking like not a retard and we might know what you are asking
Luke Bailey
This. My current setup is ancient but still holds up to what i normally play but most modern games wont hit over 25fps on lowest settings.
Kevin Perry
Hard to say. 1070s have been riddled with controversy. Recently reliable brands like MSI and EVGA 1070s have both had VRM issues.
Go with whatever one has a good warranty and seems to have good recent reviews. They're basically all made by the same conglomerate of Taiwanese crooks anyway.
nigger stop right there link to sources saying there are issues with MSI you disgusting hook nose jew evga got shit as always, no one else was in articles I read
Gabriel Hill
Well it has the best warranty and samsung is highest rated from what ive found.
Adrian Myers
nope they got bad reputation when the shit out hdds when there were floods and shortage of reliable parts at least not if you go 3-4GB
Asher Howard
Win 8.1 or Win X for vidya?
Colton Wright
10 dx12 is a thing
Luis Myers
Windows 10 will have better game support long term with DX12 and more gamer have it so it will actually be developed for.
Bentley Butler
I built this PC in 2010, all I did was add 4 gigs of ram and replace the gpu when the old one died in 2013.
Surprised how well GTA V runs still, on normal anyway.
Upgrading next month as I'll be getting huge pay for working the holidays this year.
Disgusting spoonfeeding. Also, EVGA has not always been shit. They've been one of the more highly regarded brands for the past 5 years easily.
Alright man, that's cool.
Nice. That PSU would be totally fine. I like Seasonic so I'd probably spring for their 520W Bronze but that Corsair one will probably be ok. If you find that the stock cooler is too loud then you can always get aftermarket at that point, I just don't think you'll even need it.
Lincoln Anderson
>1060 6gb >240usd >1 fan >small >aesthetic
what's the catch?
Carter Harris
>This means that EVGA, Gainward, Palit, MSI, Gigabyte and Asus have fixed their Micron Memory issues for GTX 1070 buyers. So far, it looks like PNY, KFA2, Zotac and Inno3D still need to release updates
1. in your link theres like 8 manufactures named, why single out MSI 2. evga was always shit on the hardware side, they made up for it with customer service, but if you saw any regular card of theirs, its always lowest numbers of phases possible, worst passive cooling, fans...
Mason Smith
Maybe a lower binned GPU that doesn't overclock well but should be fine at stock speeds. Might be loud due to only having the single fan.
All I said was "recently reliable" brands like MSI and EVGA. I wouldn't consider the rest of those brands recently reliable, at least not on the same tier as MSI and EVGA. Fucking calm down. Obviously its a far reaching issue with 1070s in general, that's why I said check recent reviews and return policy/warranty.
Jack Thompson
Nice my setup is from an old gateway Cpu:Amd Phenom 9750 x4 2.4Ghz Ram: 8Gb ddr2 Psu: Shitty Thermaltake 450W Gpu: Msi GTX 470 1280Mb Hdd: Generic 1Tb Drive form toshiba i believe Windows 7 64bit
I bought the base system for 100 bucks with everything cept the GPU it included a minitor that was 1600x900 that i still use the 470 was a card I got in a box of random pc stuff i bought at a yardsale for like 30 dollars so all in all not a bad deal 3 years ago
Adrian Torres
would you purchase a refurbished z170 motherboard?
I want to try and upgrade this holiday season to either an i5 or i7, but I'll also need a new mobo for it.
What combos would you guys recommend?
Jose Jackson
>different sample sizes >no error bars That image triggers me every time
Dominic Flores
so black friday week deals are starting to pop up. should i buy a 6700k now? money isn't an issue but i do like to get the most for my buck. you think prices will get lower in spring? i'm just slowly picking up parts on sale currently.
Xavier Butler
I hear a lot of people saying 16gb is unnecessary, is it true?
Asher Baker
yes, for gamers and general use not for some other use as VMs
but go for single 8gb stick instead of 2x4
Dylan Lopez
asus z170 + crucial 8x2
Cooper Ross
I just want to be able to play WoW/Overwatch/League/Rocket League at 1080p.
Gabriel Johnson
oh i should note i have a hyper 212 and 450w psu from a friend ill be using
actually fuck it. I'll just use the old 500gb hdd i found. the 470 is so much better. will buy a cheapo SSD later.
Camden Myers
Buy a new 1050ti instead of that old piece of junk. Smaller, quieter, better performance.
SSD is like the single most noticeable thing for general use. Also 2GB RAM? niggggga
Carson Campbell
you play those games with friends?
Cooper James
Your build is outdated as fuck
Upgrade to pentium skylake
William Scott
I'm aware but the games I play do fine on the older architecture. WoW and overwatch in particular do great. also since a ssd is so cheap, even just a 64gb boot drive, but the video card is an investment this makes more sense to me. No i have a friend that plays on the computer but he's a casual kek
You can swap out the h110 with a z170 if you want to upgrade the CPU later
Add a 1050ti and you can play all the games you listed at 50+ fps
James Allen
He's serious about the pentium. The shit tier games you are playing would benefit more from a really strong dual core than an old-ass 2500k/mobo that has probably been to hell and back at this point.
Elijah Harris
Could add a 250GB SSD for your games and save the 120GB boot/other programs Also could side grade to RX480 if you want to decrease heat/power consumption
David Wilson
Thanks, man. It was also suggested to me a new mobo + i5-6500 would be a good replacement cpu?
I ran GTAV on a system I built in 2009, core i7 920. Upgraded the GFX from a GTX285 to a 970 and it still works. BF1 on good settings GTA V on good settings as well. Not ultra though. 1920x1200
so pcbg has come together and accepted that 480 > 1060 given their prices, right?
Michael Jackson
Nah that's fine, especially if you want to OC The CPU and the GPU.
I think it depends on the games you want to play right now and of course whether you're talking about the 3 GB 1060 or the full 1060. It also depends on how long you plan on owning it.
Over the next few years, if past history is any indication, the AMD card will show gains through software improvement while the Nvidia card only improves a minimal amount or just plateaus.
Kevin Perry
>Nah that's fine, especially if you want to OC The CPU and the GPU.
Ahh okay, cool thanks.
Any monitor recommendations for that build? I don't mind spending big. I currently have an okay monitor so I'm not in any rush.
Jacob Williams
Y'all Z170 and 6700k cucks should be hopping on this 6800k hotness for sale on Newegg right now.
Liam Foster
who even has the non-neetbux to justify replacing their 6700k prior to the next current year?
Gabriel Barnes
FFFFUCK.
No money, christmas, etc.
Shit sucks.
Oh well, I'm getting Zen anyway.
Hudson Anderson
i7 users are all cucks
Zachary Rogers
Definitely worthy of 1440p/144 Hz.
Heard good things about this one. Obviously it's not G-Sync so not sure how important that would be for you.
