Post your component list, rate other anons', ask questions in general.
Always state the purpose of your PC, your budget, AND YOUR COUNTRY if outside the USA. If you are asking for improvements, clarify whether you want to lower price or to improve specs or build quality.

Whose shit should I be buying for a new full loop? Already have a water block, but need everything else. Pump, fittings, radiators, reservoir, etc. Should I be mixing components from each? First time I've done this.
Once again what do you think of this for my SSD will the higher read and write speeds be worth it or would I be better off with something slower with higher capacity?
Jaxson Martinez
Is it the size of the mouse that you don't like? There are some pretty huge mice out there like the g600.
Luis Diaz
someone build a 6gb gpu build for someone just wanting to complete his backlog - now over $1000
Luke White
Whatever you buy, wait until Zen is out. Prices will drop.
Noah Ross
You guys got any keyboard recs?
Nathan Harris
EK just seems like they have the largest selection of stuff so without knowing more specifics I would stick to their line of stuff.
You're the dude with the velociraptor right? Just go with the m.2 if you're still thinking about it. 256 is plenty for your OS and a few key programs.
Kevin Harris
Can we add a line in the Op about not buying Corsair CX power supplies? It pops up like 8 times per thread.
Caleb Ward
This is probably a good idea. Noted. There should be a like an AVOID section. (EVGA ACX 3.0/Corsair CX line)
Aiden Thompson
Build a PC with 6700K now OR wait for Zen OR wait for Kaby Lake? What the fuck is one supposed to do now?
Julian Rodriguez
But that would be easily confused with the much better CXM line.
Eli Smith
This is why future-proofing nowadays is so fucking pointless. Just build whatever the fuck you want. It won't matter. Shit just flies out way too fast nowadays. 5k is also on the way too. It's not like many PC games are that well optimized anyway.
Jacob Gonzalez
SOOO. Someone posted earlier about transferring their key. I googled and found the run command to figure out what version I have. I have a laptop fyi and the run command says I have retail.
That means I can transfer right? it has activation id/link/licensce link
r-r-r-right guys?

Just build with a 6700K you won't regret it.
Same thing goes for a 1070 or 1080. All the people going "just wait, wait for the 1080ti!" are in the same stuck loop.
That loop is what kept me from actually building any rig at all for like 10 years. Every time I tried to put a parts list together there was either another generation of Intel or another generation of nVidia just over the horizon that was worth waiting for ad infinitum.
Ethan Davis
ZEN SR3 CPUs were already confirmed to be $150 with the same performance as the i7-6700K so you should wait.
Brody King
Hey guys, I'm still a novice when it comes to custom PC building and I would like some advice:
1. First and foremost, do you think it's worth it for me to upgrade? I won't be running 4k res games, I will be sticking with 1080p. I would still however, like to run my games on high performance smoothly: (Dishonored 2, Titanfall 2, WoW, Overwatch, etc). I have noticed a few issues recently; with Titanfall I'll experience crashes and when I switch from games (Completely closing out and then loading up the next game), like from WoW to Titanfall or vice versa, my PC will lag and freeze up.
In regards to the new build:
2. This will be my first time using an SSD. I understand its functionality, I just want to ask if it's really worth it. I know people put their OS on it and a few games for faster boot-up/load times. Is it worth the $85? or are there much cheaper alternatives.
3. I looked into different parts to see if I was making the most out of my money. As far as I know it seems that the build is worth it, but I would feel more confident if I ran it with you guys, since you have the experience and knowledge I lack. If there are alternatives that are more cost-efficient I would love to hear it.
Note: This was added after I wrote all this up. As of right now, my games run graphically the way I want them to. The issue is the lag, crashes and slow boot up. Thinking about it now; would it be better for me just to purchase an SSD and throw things like Titanfall, and my OS on it? Thank guys, you are the best.
Adam Young
Not in my shithole of a country they won't.
Chase Flores
Don't buy that. Get a different SSD and wait for Zen/Vega before upgrading CPU/GPU.
Easton Murphy
Different manufacturer or just a different one from Kingston okay.
And if I may get clarification. Would the wait be for a price drop for my build? Or is the Zen/Vega just the way to go for when they're released.
Dominic Richardson
You can't transfer it because the motherboard is registered to Microsoft with that key. It's been hardware based since at least 7.
Henry Sanchez
Zen is expected to have 2x the performance/dollar of Intel's current CPUs.
Oh that is very promising. So I just looked up everything you mentioned. So the Vega is expected to come out end of this year. I've never picked up a GPU/CPU/MOBO on release date. In this case, would it be worth purchasing the Vega on release if I've got the cash, or wait until the Zen and the MOBO is released in Jan/Feb and just purchase all together. I'm unfamiliar how prices fluctuate post-release.

How important is the memory on a video card? I haven't seen any Nvidia cards inside my range with 8 gigs and some have 3 gigs but good reviews.
Carson Peterson
>Samsung Galaxy Note 7 in the prohibited items list for a courier service.
Juan Parker
Very important. Too low VRAM causes spikes in the frametimes which make the experience much worse than you would expect from looking at the average FPS.
Lincoln Allen
Fuck you I want an optical drive
Luke Reyes
Does single vs. dual fan make a difference in regards to graphics cards? I'm doing a couple builds and going with 1060s.
Chase Martinez
I've finally narrowed it down to 2 GPU choices.
Which should I buy, a RX 460 or a GTX 750Ti?
I can get the RX 460 for £100 new, or the GTX 750Ti for £70 pre-owned.
Pic related is my current build, planning on upgrading the GPU and RAM for about £130ish
John Jenkins
So theres some pretty good deals on the RX 470 at the moment, and it'd be a significant upgrade over my R9 270. And with the expenses that Christmas brings, it's probably my best option in the short term.
Just debating between getting it now, and maybe upgrade later next year to something better. Or just wait until Vega comes out and choose between that and a 1070.
James James
What's your CPU?
I'm in the same boat actually. Do you know if you'll have the cash for Vega release?
Source? I know that the SR7 SKU is at or above the 6900K, but I'd been sinfully ignoring the other two
Asher Rogers
How does this look for a nice portable PC? I don't want to spend too much on it since I already have a gaming PC at home, but since my job requires me to travel around a lot I want to have a PC for the road. I'm not going to play the most intense games (obviously), and I want the budget to be at around $600. pcpartpicker.com/list/Gcm4BP
Isaiah Miller
They are both really weak senpai. Not sure what to tell you. Check the 1050 out. The 750 Ti is really old. What do you plan on doing with it?
could I replace the cooler master hyper 212 evo with something more cheaper
Charles Rivera
sli is a meme unless you're doing sli with high end cards such as 1080 and the upcoming 1080ti
just get the 1070
Sebastian Bailey
Yes Also >1060s You can't SLI 1060s and its fucking stupid to want to anyways
Blake Foster
Is the Carbide 88R only available with the window?
It's not a big issue, but I'd rather have it without for that slight bit of extra quiet. Currently deciding between the carbide and the fractal design core 1000/1100.
Consider purchasing a few aftermarket fans and clipping them to the 212 with the included mounts
Blake Thompson
>are they as bad as people say.
People meme about how bad they are. They do an ok job and unlike el cheapo PSUs can actually handle the advertised wattage/amperage. They don't provide very clean power, exceptionally efficient power, or great build quality though.
They're what I would consider minimally acceptable. I wouldn't use a CX psu with a $1500 rig, but I wouldn't think twice of using one in a $500 rig.
Would I have to worry about whether my copy of Windows 10 is genuine or not when I install it on a new PC build? It was mentioned briefly in the pastebin but I haven't seen talk of it anywhere else.
Michael Gray
Get a better case, GPU and PSU
Robert Nguyen
>EVGA overheating meme. >Only affects the twin-fan ATX cooler models
Why are people so retarded?
What's wrong with any of those things.
Easton Sanchez
i3-4400, H81 motherboard. But i'll probably do GPU > CPU(maybe generation upgrade to Kaby) > superior GPU throughout the year.
Thomas Brown
Shit taste in cases. Get a Zotac AMP! Extreme or MSI Gaming X/Z 1080. Get a Seasonic PSU. Also, your RAM is overpriced.
Xavier Taylor
HELP! This site jonnyguru.com Does not have a review of the PSU I'm looking for. Where should I look now?
I'm mostly certain this will be the part, but feel anxious without someone looking over my shoulder.
Isaiah Flores
Need monitor deals.
Prefer 1440p for my 1070 + 6700k, 4k would be too much to handle. Ultrawide 1080p could be nice too. Also 144hz.
Really just trying to figure out what combination of Hz and dimensions are good + if you goys know of any particularly titillating monitor deals for this weekend/monday.
Paying $300 would be nice too.
Aaron Ross
it means you should look for a new psu
Matthew Morris
So, is this an old PSU?
Michael Russell
bumping this
Gabriel Turner
Yes. Now look for a new one.
Preferably Seasonic.
Colton Barnes
Is there really a difference between the cx and the cxm lines?
I thought that the only difference was that one is modular.
