pcpartpicker.com/list/bYtmFd What ya think Sup Forums? Good enough for gaming at 1440p 60hz and some overclocking?
Connor Brooks
there is crucial sport 16 gigs kit in sale now, but its 6 year old ram. is it still worth using for years to come? also a bit pricer but still 4 year old crucial vengeance kit
William Hill
does cloning OS works everytime or only for some brands of ssds? read some review comments that said it didnt worked for them
Thoughts on this? Is this as cheap as I can get it for playing games on high settings at 1080p? I have to keep changing the RAM because the prices keep going back up but as long I as get 2x8GB DDR4-3000, it's all good.
Also, I was thinking of buying some of these on ebay particularly the HDDs. I see that there are some pretty good ones on ebay that go for cheaper than what is shown on Pcpartpicker. Some are used, but as I check they were only used for a brief moment to see if it's working I think.
Jayden Jackson
bump up your power supply to like 750 that way you could put another card in later if you wanted, it would be about $20 more.
Brandon Evans
I guess I could bump it up but isnt 750 overkill? Wouldnt 650 be more than enough?
Jayden Anderson
Thoughts on this poorfag gaymen rig? It's my first build.
pcpartpicker.com/list/QLz84C The SSD is $25 off w/visa checkout, and the i3 and 1050 are both 25% off at jet.com so it brings the price down to just under $400. I know the 1050 is a very low end card, but I don't plan on playing any games from the past few years so I think it should handle my needs. My other option is a RX 470 4gb, but that pushes up the price by $60 and cuts into my budget for a monitor. I'm not sure the performance increase for the games I'm playing is worth it considering that I am on a pretty tight budget.
Caleb Gonzalez
You know what is really spooky?? For maybe 300€ I can now build a PC stronger than the one I have built 7 years ago for 1000+€. Fuck technology. If I buy a 1000€ PC now will it be beaten by 300€ PCs in 7 years???
Joshua Fisher
Prove it, show us what you got and the 300 build that will beat it.
Nathaniel Sanders
I was thinking of replacing the core i5-6600k with the i5-6500 and the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB with the 1060 instead.
I want to play overwatch on ultra/epic settings at 1080p. Will downgrading effect this goal enormously? I'll probably upgrade months after the fact.
Noah King
No
Parker Williams
This cost around 1000€ back in the days.
Matthew Allen
So it's all good? Very well. I just saved 200 bucks.
Should I drop the RAM from 16GB to 8GB or just leave it alone? Maybe change the MOBO just to accommodate with the downgrade?
Having a Z170 board is useless if you dont have a K series CPU so yes.
Brody Martin
I'm pretty sure I can't afford my goal PC today, but I was recommended to at least purchase the most expensive components I can while they're on the best deals they'll be for quite some time.
With that said, I have no build prepared save for a few items: >i5 6600k >RX 480 >some sort of BD drive >at least 8GB RAM
I'd like to keep the entire build around or under $800.
The purpose is to be able to edit/render videos, record instruments/DAW, play vidya with my friends at High settings or better in 1080p, and possibly stream as well.
I'm a complete novice, but I did read in a guide that it is generally better to purchase and build at the same time in the event that you have to return something or get a defective component.
Jonathan Lopez
is there any point in future-proofing anymore
James Murphy
Building my first pc, would like to get some advice/get shitted on for my current build. Mostly going to use it for gaymes and graphic design softwares.
This is my first time on this board so please let me know of I'm being a colossal faggot.
I wanted to ask a few people who have gotten SSDs recently what have their experiences have been with different brands? My story is I built a PC for gaming about... 3 years ago, back when SSDs were just starting to get off the ground and I got a small Samsung EVO 120GB SSD for the OS and your usual WD Black for games, my documents and other shit. Now this thing is filled and giving me low space messages (Probably thanks to fucking windows) and I am looking to have it replaced by something bigger, my aim is 480-500 gigs.
And while I am skilled enough to know how to put a PC together, I really don't care to keep up with the numbers game every 6 months when something new comes out, so I wanna know your stories with other brands. Is Samsung still the top dog? or have cheaper brands caught up to them? what about migration software? are some brands better or more shit at it than others? If you could provide me with some of your experiences it would be greatly appreciated.
It has everything I was looking for in a case: >tons of drive slots >room for 280 mm radiator on the top >full tower
Seems like it has everything, and is on sale for cyber monday. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a notorious POS or something.
Never hurts to ask the board that loves the shit after all.
Jaxon King
Is there a 24/25 reliable gayman monitor in existence for poorfags like me?
Getting trough a mountain of shit is really irritating.
Xavier Morris
>tfw no good cyber Monday deals
Lincoln Sanders
What is the difference between 6500k and 6600k, which one is better for just gaymin and codin? Is there a big difference?
Nicholas Brown
if you buy a great system right now it will remain a great system in the future. Better technology will always keep popping up so there is no future proofing. Just buy the best you can afford and use that until it breaks/ something significantly better comes out. And keeping in mind new cpus mean new motherboard and possibly new rams so yeah, no future proofing
Tyler Perez
I'm looking for a monitor to go with my i7 integrated graphics card PC. As you have guessed, i don't play games. I mostly browse da net, use office and watch movies. I have enough m@ney to buy good shit.
Suggest me a good model faggots!
Jayden Hernandez
Forgot picture.
Aaron Gutierrez
Yes, if you dont live in the US, mostly, because the prices are usually higher.
Ayden Nelson
Looks ok. You can hardly go wrong with a case as long as your shit fits on it.
Christopher Gutierrez
Pretty much the only two SSD brands that are even worth considering are Samsung and Crucial. Samsung is still top dog yes and also has the best migration software but it only works with their SSDs Crucial also makes good SSDs, they aren't as good as Samsung SSDs but they have a very good price/performance ratio. I'd say either get a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB or a Crucial MX300 525GB. The Samsung is slightly better and comes with neat migration software but the Crucial is cheaper and has 25GB more space.
Jayden Gonzalez
Fuck you, what resolution and size do you want? Be a bit more specific fag.
Lucas Jackson
What would you say about sandisk ssd?
William Cook
Is this still worth upgrading GPU/CPU or should I get a new rig?
James Peterson
if you're really cheap you can get a second hand i7 & 16 gb of ram
if you want to build a pc to enter the future, get a i5 6600k,z170 mobo,& some 2x8Gb ddr4 ram
or if you're cheap and want to enter the future get a i5 6500, H series mobo, and some 2x4Gb ddr4 ram
Adrian Barnes
That 1060 is way overpriced.
Angel Collins
Ah, that makes a lot of sense actually. Thanks for the tip man. I'll be browsing the guides, too.
Cameron Lopez
What do I buy looking for deals on 1070 or 1080
Ryan Evans
>Resolution At least FullHD
>Size 20-27"
Jacob Mitchell
bump
Landon Lee
1060 should be
Christopher Campbell
Anyone else hates their third world country where any hardware has 60%+ markups?
Julian Carter
Why does DDR4 ram has such high timings? I was used with ddr3 being 9-9-9-24, DDR4 is 15~17 and 35~40
Robert Hernandez
Thanks man.
I don't know too much about manufactures of most parts but I was just thinking that cases were one of those prime situations where a company could produce something based entirely on ascetics with zero consideration for something basic like airflow.
Brayden Harris
Bump
Nathaniel Nguyen
da
Robert Barnes
I can't find a 1060 below 200 dollars on Pcpartpicker. The most I see here is 239.99.
Jaxon Powell
Blame your currency + import taxes
Get a new graphics card and hold off on the CPU. You'll be able to pick up an i7 3770K for cheap near the middle of next year
Pretty much any SSD is fine at this point
No such thing as i5 6500K fagtron
Ugly, look at the Fractal Design cases
When Zen and Coffee Lake come out, yes. Even now an unlocked i7 will last a long fucking time.
Looks ok, check reviews for Freesync ghosting
Not entirely true. He could upgrade to an unlocked CPU and use fast RAM in the meantime
Don't buy now, wait for another year then buy. And yes, that's how tech works
650W is fine. You don't want to mGPU 300W cards anyway. Talk about housefire
Looks good, consider an HGST HDD
Eli Brooks
I have a prebuilt cyberpower pc and plan on adding a 250GB 850 Evo as well as upgrading my GPU.
I'm thinking about getting the EVGA FTW 1070 (only $2 more than the SC edition on Amazon).
I've heard of the EVGA cards having overheating issues, but are they really as bad as I've heard some people say they are? If that's the case, what other cards would you recommend?
I plan on gaming in 1080p but want to future-proof my GPU.
I'm also concerned that the card might be too big for my case (Black X-Trooper). I'm currently running a Radeon HD7870 w/ an i7-3770K.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Matthew Harris
Can check case dimensions. It's probably fine. At least upgrade to a nice monitor if you get a 1070
Mason Bell
I can't really wait for another year. I might be able to wait for Zen but no longer probably.
Oliver Williams
If you have to buy now just get a Z170 mobo + i3 6100 + 3000MHz RAM and upgrade to an unlocked i7 (either Skylake or Kaby Lake) when need be
Chase Myers
Never built a pc before, want a good enough pc to get 1080/60+fps on max. I really don't know shit about specific parts and how they compare, nor do I have any idea how to tell if they fit together. Mainly I want to leave plenty of room for upgrades later on, and I want to avoid the mobo being the biggest bottleneck if/when I upgrade years down the road.
Tell me how shit I am then please tell me how to fix it.
Kayden Martinez
So instead of paying 350€ for i7 right away you are telling me to pay 120€ for i3 and then additional 350 for i7 later. For what purpose? What is the point of buying an inferior CPU and not being able to use the PC for what am I supposed to be using it instead of buying the CPU that would be good right away?
I downgraded my CPU and GPU which saved me almost 200 dollars which is cool. I couldn't find a cheaper GPU 1060 on pcpartpicker though.
I think I'm going to keep the MOBO even though it's a z170 because the h170 mini ITX MOBOs are almost the same price as this so it's no big deal price wise and I'm planning on upgrading the cpu anyways.
I'm probably going to buy the HDDs on ebay since they're cheaper.
My goal is the play most games (particularly Overwatch) on high/max settings at 1080p. Also download lots of JAV. Any suggestions would be great.
Gavin Hernandez
Can't use the i7 6700K with an x99 mobo. Need a Z170. No point in spending a lot of money on it as long as it has the features / ports you want.
If you clearly have money to burn get a 1440p, >100Hz Gsync monitor, GTX1070, m.2 SSD
Lincoln Moore
He said 2009 you scrub, and 1000 eurocbucks could absolutely get you a little more
Mason Campbell
You already got the expensive parts, now you just need "the rest of the PC" which really shouldn't change in price nor be over $100-200 Get a 600w 80+ bronze psu, a case, a $25 CPU cooler a drive or two (id recommend HDD+SSD but don't know your budget)
Kayden Young
The i7 won't be 350 later. Zen's 6 core / 12 thread CPU (which will compete with Intel's 4c / 8t i7s) is rumored to cost 250USD. Intel is rolling out a 6c / 12t consumer part to compete with AMD's 8c / 16t part. CPU prices are about to plummet
So you can get a used i7 K series for cheap later on, probably around 200 if not 150USD. The i3 will last you a long fucking time anyway, easily 3 - 5 years depending on your standards
Tyler Scott
>I don't care about the numbers game >is Samsung still top dog? Samsung is still top top in terms of numbers only. Their Evos aren't exceptionally reliable and their 950s boil water, but they're are fast Intel has the best SATA SSDs imo, they're overbuilt and have plenty of failsafes and capacitors. And then you have the cheap end of SSDs (which are still fine, I'd say for you to get one of these or an 850 evo on sale), OCZ (now toshiba and better than before), Sandisk, crucial, all reasonably priced and fairly decent. SSD are much more reliable overall than they used to be, so the cheap ones are great options
Levi Martin
1060s are normally $250, it's the 3gb version that's $200, and they aren't normally below 200
Landon Robinson
That is just the thing. I don't live in murrica. The i7 will be 350€ till it gets discontinued. Nothing here will get any cheaper under any circumstances. It simply won't. They could release a 20 core for 50€ and the i7 would still stay 350€. I need it for streaming stuff and perhaps soem video editing later down the road so I don't think the i3 will be enough.
Caleb Price
Latency goes up with clock speeds, and DDR4 kicks ass in clock speed, so higher latency is just a byproduct Higher frequencies are more important though, and 15CAS for 3200mhz is way better than the 10CAS for 1600mhz for ddr3
Parker Lewis
If you have needs now, like streaming and editing, of course get what you need, the i7.
But you're wrong about CPU prices not falling in your country. They will.
Caleb Lewis
You say "he". That is me who posted those things. That is my PC. Things are expensive here. + back then it were my relatives that built it so they probably didn't find the best places to shop. Not that there are any here.
Brayden Butler
Don't get an X99 platform And you don't need a 6700k. Get a Z170 board (still the latest and greatest, just can't do 6 gpus like X99), a 6600k, a 1080 if you really want it (a 1070 will be exactly as good at 1080p, a rx480 would be fine at 1080p really)
Noah Watson
>toshiba ssd
hmm now thats interesting
Wyatt Ward
really doubtful for intel. god knows what will be the course of action for amds with Zen
Xavier Russell
Well they got ripped off, just saying Old tech is old tech, but what you posted is not high end old tech
Gavin Harris
All other AMD CPUs will drop since they're literally killing fm3 and older Intel CPUs won't drop as zen isn't really competition to high end Intel even with zen
Caleb Lee
t. retard
Or do you think market forces are a meme?
Gavin Young
I have a budget of 600€ or hopefully less, checked around using the OP's links and ended up with this list. Is it decent? I'd rather not go lower than i5. Also I was hoping to find better deals today but nothing.
Jose Nguyen
What are you trying to get out of your pc?
Jaxon Lopez
i7 6700k - 332€ i7 4790K - 350€
Lincoln Phillips
Well people have been saying Intel prices will drop every new Intel or AMD shrink, and I've been waiting since ivy bridge...
Landon Thompson
No, get the i3 6100 or the i5 6500 Get an aftermarket card
Zachary Ortiz
I need a cool white pc chassis in m-Atx. Anyone know some cool ones?
Ryder Morris
The market is holding its breath for zen, there's enough hype for zen to kill all other AMD sockets, even if zen isn't that good there's simply that much hype
Benjamin Lopez
Something everage overall, both for work and games but nothing minmaxed.
Nolan Anderson
AMD hasn't been competitive for years, so of course those prices haven't dropped. Even if AMD's new 4c / 8t part is only on par with the i7 3770K it will significantly depreciate Intel's parts if the launch price is 150USD.
Look at it this way: Intel's 6c / 12t CONSUMER (not prosumer) parts will be approximately the same price as current consumer i7s. All current CPUs including will be depreciated after Zen (AMD) and Coffee Lake (Intel) get released.
AM4 will basically be AMD's only socket, with even the low end APUs being release on the socket next to the high end CPUs. Amazing in you want to get in at a low price and upgrade later.
Landon Hall
Is that a 480 gpu? Looks good for a basic system, you can't overclock it but the 6500 is still a good CPU, I don't know if H110 motherboards can run 2400mhz ram (you might need stock 2133mhz) It looks balanced though
Thomas Foster
The RAM will be automatically downclocked
Isaac Brown
>might buy a i5-3570k and LGA 1155 motherboard
It's still better than any AMD stuff, and it's cheaper or the same price, should I go for it? Because the cpu will only cost $85 and the motherboard is $50
James Gonzalez
pcpartpicker.com/list/LHpfFd Is this good enough for 1440p? Thinking about pairing this with an ROG Swift or Acer Predator.
Juan Murphy
Look mate. You clearly don't understand how things work outside america. The prices simply won't drop. I mean why would they? People here will either buy Intel or AMD. Regardless of how cheap or expensive they will be. They won't care and they won't have a choice.
Blake Scott
Intels 6c non-meme-buyer market is the dime-a-dozen xeons, maybe zen could have a hand in that but it's almost entirely a used market already For the regular consumers wanting "do-everything" CPUs, I don't think zen will push prices away from intels core line, as Intels core line doesn't highlight cheap multithreaded power, but mid-price multipurpose power
Kevin Murphy
fuck so no dirt cheap fx? also seems zen will come here in Q2 late Q3 of 2017
Adrian Hall
He still doesn't need it if he can find stock ddr4 cheaper
James Nguyen
Nope. In murrica there are shitloads of people, a big market so ofc they will try to gain as many buyers as possible for all their products. But in smaller countries they will just set and keep the prices high because why the fuck would they lower it?
Cameron Kelly
Yes.
Cameron Robinson
Gigabyte Gaming 1070 or EVGA SC 1070? Also, what are the size differences, and is the EVGA FTW card worth it if I'm not into overclocking?
Chase Price
>The prices simply won't drop. I mean why would they? MARKET. FORCES. I'm done replying to you
Again, I'm not talking about Xeons. I'm talking about CONSUMER i7s.

more like salesmen will pocket all those cheaper prices like eurojews they are I remember when they priced the new amds gpu even higher than those rised up prices in america
Hudson Fisher
Sometimes the 2400 is cheaper than 2133
Anthony Flores
fxs are at the limits of price, they also brand games and stuff with it and released them with wraith cooler
Wyatt Jenkins
Thoughts on buying the parts individually?
Leo Walker
You mean the quad cores with absolutely unrivaled IPC? Yeah, a couple octacore bulldozer CPUs will change that
