Any recommendations for a decent, not overly expensive mATX case? Doing a 6700k + R9 Fury build.
Parker Collins
Building an audio production/general purpose PC, will run Ubuntu and KXStudio. So far I plan to run a i7 6700 and at 16 gigs of RAM. Any advice on other components? I'm particularly indecisive about motherboards and don't know what features I should look for.
Ayden Carter
When the fuck should I do this? Now or cyber monday?
Andrew Nelson
Since you're not getting a K cpu, I guess you don't plan on overclocking so go for an h170 and decide whether you want sli/crossfire support.
Will you even have a GPU? If not make sure the board supports integrated graphics
Landon Lewis
Coolermaster n200, I love mine and it's $25-50 depending on rebates and deals this weekend at latest, cyber Monday actually isn't real, do NOT wait Or if you do, wait 3 months, everything will start going on regular sales again That's literally all you need for DAWs, CPU and ram. Get a good external audio interface and some monitors (get good monitors before good headphones). And while you're at it, you're missing the most important part of any modern DAW worth using: windows
Blake King
what i want for muh gaems

I am planning to buy the parts in around late december/early january. or should I buy them now? When will they be the cheapest?
Adrian Diaz
First for NCASE M1
Liam Ward
I ain't waiting 3 months, but how is cyber monday not a real thing exactly? There was a 30% off jet code earlier but that shit expired earlier than i thought it would, maybe something similar will come around tomorrow or sunday
Nathaniel Martinez
Why not just get the node 202+ psu?
Jaxon Phillips
what exactly are you expecting to go on sale? i bought my build two weeks ago and the only parts that were cheaper today were a HDD and my 6600k. and that was maybe $40 total
Bentley Rodriguez
Nah, I see no need to overclock for what I'm doing. I'll consider getting the K because maybe in a few years it'll be worthwhile to do it, but not soon. The 6700 is powerful as it is and hyperthreading will already give it a boost. I may or may not get a GPU, I don't game so I'm not confident it'll be worthwhile, but if I do it'll be a cheap one.
DESU if I had money to burn and wanted the best audio interface I'd buy a Mac because Logic is amazing, and cheap. I can live without Windows. Worst case scenario I can always run WINE, right?
Gabriel Peterson
Any good 4k monitors worth buying?
Tyler Nelson
anyone here been though the rma process with evga?
i have a gtx 980 ftw evga i bought off some guy a year back and apparently there were some issues with it on release and many people were sending their 980 ftw's back for replacement/repair. i checked my warranty status on their website and i have like 3 years left and i also put in an rma request and they accepted it because they obviously know about the problem.
it says on their website that they will replace any faulty cards with something of equal performance/value. does this mean i can possibly get a 1060/1070 out of them because the 980 is out of production? the 980 is around 1060 performance but the value of the 980 was about £430 back then which is gtx 1070 pricing.
what can i expect? i hope they just don't return my 980 with a new bios or something.
Jace Evans
i5 6600k or i7 6700k?
Is i7 fucking worth it yet? I've heard no over the years but always something like "IT'LL BE WORTH IT MORE IN THE FUTURE" is it the fucking future yet?
Alexander Sullivan
its not so much specific parts, more like general discounts on jet/newegg for whatever the order is like codes etc.
I think as soon as I see something that doesn't look like it would ever go lower, I'm pulling the trigger
>tfw constantly refreshing buildapcsales
Adam Williams
Get the 6600k
Nolan Thompson
idk never considered it I love my M1 though
Oliver Peterson
check amazon for used parts that are like new and sold by amazon warehouse deals or whatever they call it. I got my gigabyte z170n for around $85 when it retails new for $160. It was impossible to tell it wasn't "new." Also, they'll let you return it for 30 days no questions asked
Jayden Thomas
So I've got this 16gb ddr4 2133mhz RAM for really cheap where I live, is it good? It's Crucial branded CL15 model CT16G4DFD8213. It has no fancy heatsinks but is really cheap. Did I fuck up? I have not received it yet
Christian Walker
>Did I fuck up nah ram is ram how much did you get it for?
Bentley Perez
I'm looking for a decent wireless, tenkeyless, non-mechanical keyboard that isn't chink shit. Does anyone here know where to get one? I haven't found any from reputable manufacturers.
Cooper Ramirez
hows it looking so far?
Should I get 16gb of ram or is 8gb still fine? Should I pay like twice the price for some supra fast ram or does it even really matter?
James Torres
>nah ram is ram This You're fine
I always give a memtest 1 pass with new sticks.
Liam Watson
Anything wrong with this as a starting point?
>i7-6700k >MSI Z170A Gaming M7 >MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X >G.Skill Ripjaws V 32GB DDR4 3200
Mason Nelson
any idiot proof laptops for my girlfriend that are touch-screen and competitive with MacBook Pro in battery life, portability, features but cheaper?
trying to convince her to go PC
Benjamin Jones
Logic is just like any other daw, and audio interfaces are hardwaare
Kevin Brown
Got it for $75 but I'm not in USA, I'm in a 3rd world shithole so thats really cheap..
Bentley Phillips
>about to cut my bank account in half in one fell swoop, also I have no income right now
Just bought this shit for Christmas (sans-ram, but only because it sold out between adding it to my cart and checking out), how'd I do? I already have a good psu and a decent hdd that I'm gonna scavenge from my current tower.

Benjamin Rivera
Hey guys,
Which motherboard for a 6700K and single GTX 1080?
How is this? This is just a list of the parts that are needing to be upgraded the most in my system. For some reason the ram shows that price but it is $45 on Newegg.
I already have the cpu cooler, I was just checking if it had incompatibility issues.
Hey guys, do you think this will be able to handle BF1? If it does I think it will be able to handle pretty much everything I intend on playing. And yes it's cheap I know, I don't have money. pcpartpicker.com/list/2QLZzM Any recomendations?
Sebastian Cruz
Already have 1000W PSU and storage. What do you think guys?
Jackson Perez
At minimum settings with 30 fps, yea.
Julian Green
>$700 for a 1070 Newegg has them for $340-400
And that ram Holy shit
Carter Gutierrez
I've got $250 to spend on a monitor or monitors.
wat do
Luke Hughes
Cpu is also $100 cheaper on newegg
Christian Hernandez
Already have a 1000W PSU and Storage Basically I'm looking to play something like dishonored 2 at max settings on 1440p @60FPS. I don't know how realistic that is with a 1070.
Straya mate
Liam Martinez
I'm just fucking my shit up all over the place today
I'm no expert, but the fact that you're paying $160 for a motherboard that doesn't support PCI-E 3.0 or DDR4 RAM throws up some red flags. That may be an AMD processor thing, though, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Oliver Howard
Anyone care to look this over and r8 my build?
Ignore the lack of a cooler, PCPP doesn't have liquid cooling components but I'm going full loop.
Isaac Lee
What's the best socket 1150 processor you can possibly get?
Dominic Allen
This is my first build. Gonna be doing gaming and editing. I'm pretty clueless about motherboards (and everything else really). If there's any parts I can replace for something that's cheaper and equivalent or better, please let me know. I want to stay around $1.2k or lower.
Owen Cruz
I've managed to buy everything but my case Sup Forums. Can anyone provide input on which of these two cases I should buy?
From a purely aesthetic standpoint I'm leaning towards the Dukase. I also have heard that the Dukase has slightly better build quality than the Carbide. The only issue is that I'm very limited on space, and I don't know if the Dukase will fit in the space I have, but I know for a fact the Carbide will. I'll need to get the monitor set up to know for sure, but as it stands I may need to offset the monitor for the Dukase to fit on the desk I have. Both cases are cheap/within my budget, are structured such that the placement of drives or the gpu won't be an issue and have (relatively) good airflow.
Is there any meaningful difference between a Vengeance LPX 2x8 3000MHZ and a Vengeance LED 2x8 3000MHZ except the faggy leds?
Noah Hall
Dumb question, but since I'm only going to be using one monitor for games, will getting a secondary monitor with same dispay size but different refresh rate affect anything?
Wyatt Rodriguez
i7 4770K
You better have a nice monitor
It's shit, get an i3 6100 and either a B150 or (if you want to buy an unlocked CPU later) a Z170 mobo
OC and get the 1060. It'll be fine with no OC but OC will be way better
That will run Grim Dawn on Ultra 1080p 60FPS
Either is fine, but if you're not using a graphics card consider an ITX build
Unless the patch really fixed the game you're not doing 1440p 60FPS Ultra. Lots of areas where the game struggles, particularly when you look out over the city
Bentley Anderson
Get a Hyper 212 EVO and Asus Z170 Pro Gaming instead. And do you really need a 750w PSU?
Owen Morgan
Going for a slightly more budget build r8
Caleb Johnson
Is the good ol' i5 2500k still good enough for running new games on ultra at 1080 when matched with a gtx 1070 and some good ram?
Ian Butler
Solid advice.
William Price
>Liquid cooler Unless you're going for some really high OC, a 212 EVO will be more than enough.
>RX 480 1060 6GB is, at the moment, objectively better.
Adrian Johnson
How good is this list? I'm building my first PC and I used the links in the OP, but I wanna get some advice before I really commit. Pic Related
Shit build, get an i3 6100 and save your pennies for an RX470, they're only $160 right now.
AM3+ is a dead platform. You'll WAY better perf from an i3 6100 and have a nice upgrade path, which means that you save money in the long run
If you're looking to upgrade, get a Z170 mobo and 3000MHz RAM. Pick up a Kaby Lake i7 after they're cheap
Grayson Cooper
You should get a cooler. Planning on eventually getting an unlocked CPU? Otherwise you could see if you can find a cheaper, non-Z170 motherboard.
See
Charles Bennett
is a ssd worth it or just meme premium?
Joseph Adams
worth it. HDD writes at like 3mbs per second, SSDs, even like a-data spit out 7-8 times as much
Also, windows/whatever OS you have boots in less than 30 seconds.
Kevin Robinson
What brand RX480 should I get?
Also should I wait for cyber monday?
Camden Baker
It's only worth it if you have cash laying around. It's not a necessary part your computer.
Jordan Moore
I'm building it for 4k and second gen VR when it comes out in 2-3 years.
Noah Moore
Worth it for your OS and anything that runs on startup. Games will be hit or miss, but open worlds and games with lots of loading screens tend to benefit a lot.
Alexander Powell
alright then what are some good ssd brands, i see samsung and sandisk but i stumbled upon crucial today, never heard of them, any good?
Logan Price
I've had a sandisk 120gb ssd since 2012 and it's never given me a single problem.
Connor Wright
Samsung is top tier. Crucial is also good, with better GB/$ value.
Christopher Gomez
Should I just kick it off with an i5-6600K in that case?
Jeremiah Walker
A 6600k should only be around 30 bucks more, but the 1050Ti will be the bottleneck in video games, not the CPU.
Elijah Thomas
What video card do you recommend that's $200 or less?
Wyatt Adams
>E5-2670 $60 >Alienware motherboard $150 >Adata SP550 480gb ssd $120 >RX 480 $200 How can I improve from here? Is there a next level of godhood which I can achieve?
Ryan Bennett
Is 750w way more than enough for what I'm building? Should I gets something cheaper? And the motherboard is basically the same as the one I had on there just a bit cheaper, or is there something I'm missing?
Jace Rodriguez
No one?
Alexander Wright
>Get a Hyper 212 EVO and Asus Z170 Pro Gaming instead Why?
It's way more then you're using, but if you plan on upgrading down the road, it wouldn't be a bad idea
Landon Cooper
RX480 4GB, GTX1060 3GB, RX470, ordered from best to worst.
Matthew Rivera
I was thinking of getting Star Citizen when the multiplayer fully drops and I was gonna upgrade around then too. Should I just keep it then?
Jordan Allen
What is the lowest gpu I can get if I want to run 3 2560x1440 monitors and the only gaming I do is osu?
Blake Wilson
Actually, scratch that about the Asus Z170. But the 212 EVO is better value, and it's gonna be more than enough. I always recommend either the 212 EVO or NH-D15, otherwise you might as well just get a proper liquid set up.
Any better now? Does it matter if the voltage for the RAM is higher than the max recomended voltage of the CPU? This is my first build I don't want to fuck it up.
Jaxson Martin
212 EVO is no longer budget perf king
Justin Scott
i7 boys where we at?!?!?
WW@ BOYS?
Where the fuck we at?
Jackson Jenkins
What GPU brand should i consider buying? (talking about evga, msi, and so on)
Liam Wood
Depends on nvidia vs amd
For nvidia cards I believe zotac pny are the best.
For amd I believe Sapphire is the best.
For both, you can't go wrong with Asus, MSI or gigabyte.
Benjamin Kelly
Is evga that bad?
Matthew Martin
Hey, new to pc building, would like some opinions on the build I made, mostly for playing gaymes and using photoshop/3d softwares.
