Talk me out of upgrading from de.pcpartpicker.com/list/t8Ngr7 with de.pcpartpicker.com/list/6vJmNN Might aswell throw out the non-modular PSU while I'm at it and get some nice cables. Also might not do all in one go, but wait for later paychecks. I'll probably hold out on the CPU and GPU hoping the release of Zen, Vega and the 1080ti will give me better deals.
Camden Gray
is mini itx a meme? I'm building a new pc and hate how heavy and how much space my current PC takes, but it's also already hard enough to build as it is with a full tower. How hard it is to build a mini atx pc? I imagine everything is cramped as fuck, and the case cables to the mobo are a fucking nightmare to plug in.
Landon Gray
Help Sup Forums, I'm "upgrading" (really building a new pc and rehashing some of the parts that aren't outdated from my current pc), I got a gtx 1060 and I have an FX 8350, want to switch to intel.
Will an i7 be overkill? What can I get that performs better than the FX 8350 and will go nice with the gtx 1060?

want a €30 - €50 cpu 1155 quiet fan. thinking about: > Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH Edition > Be quiet! Pure Rock > Noctua (idk, some below €50)
For case fans I'm thinking of: > be quiet! Pure Wings 2, 140mm > Noctua NF-A14 PWM, 140mm
probably going for the 'Be quiet!' meme, also because the the total price of 2 case fans plus cpu fans will be about 50 €.
Is this a good choice?
Daniel Jenkins
>want a €30 - €50 cpu 1155 quiet fan Coolermaster T4 or 212 Evo, you're not gonna find a Noctua worth owning in that pricerange.
Are you aware of the fact that you don't have a dedicated GPU in your build?
Sebastian Edwards
Only get a new SSD now. They're a little price inflated because of memory demand, but it's not much in real terms.
The 1070 will likely drop in price with the release of the a Vega GPU and the price of Haswell i7 will fall like crazy once the 4c / 8t Zen is released. Look at the prices again in 6months
Depends on whether you get a modular PSU etc
Definitely wait for 6mo to upgrade your CPU
Looks good. You'll probably want a graphics upgrade after you see what it's like to play games at 60FPS
FUCK, my bad
Xavier Jackson
I don't play gay men, it's fine.

Anything else to improve it?
Blake Long
Looks rock solid if you don't need storage space, don't play games or use applications that require more than 8GB of RAM.

Michael Turner
Good cooler, similar to the 212 Evo. If you're german, which i guess because of the PCGH cooler, take at look at their reviews.
Dylan Thomas
Close, I'm a dutchy. Thx, I will.
Josiah Williams
Current onboard GPU should be fine for watching 4k. Photoshop doesn't require a GPU, but it helps a lot with many features. I suggest getting an i3 and invest the saved money into a RX 460 or something.
Isaac Butler
I really want an amd cpu and gpu combo to troll my m8s. Which ones should I take for a $700 build?
While we are on the topic I'll post the pc I'm building, I have no knowledge of this stuff as it's the first time I'm building a pc.I mainly want to know if I need to get additional parts like fans or something.
And yes, I have money, otherwise I wouldn't have chosen the parts
Isaac James
>Browsing, 4k youtube, music, photoshop, occasionally play old games, web design, some audio editing. I don't know what old games you play, but most should be fine without a dedicated GPU. You also probably won't need a 6600K for this. This i5 build should do it: pcpartpicker.com/list/B26pQV
Connor Martin
Have you considered a large air cooler instead of that AIO? They can be quite noisy with their stock fans, which is why a lot of people still end up replacing the fans on a >$100 part.
>Noise Level 37.7 dbA >that rating is 24.6 dbA for a Noctua NH-D15
David Powell
A 2TB HDD is cheaper than two 1TB HDDs. Do you really need that MB and memecooler if you don't know what you're doing? You can probably save a hundred bucks going for an aircooler and an ASUS Z170-A and still get the same performance.
Cameron Reed
>$3k build >no titan x autism. Get a better keyboard, and teach yourself how to make a custom loop. If you're set on a 1080, go with Zotac or PNY.

>>$3k build >>no titan x No shit, it includes an overpriced gayming monitor, keyboard and speakers.
Colton Rodriguez
someone on here told me 2 terabyte drives have a higher failure rate so he suggested I got 2 one terabyte drives
Dominic Lopez
That guy is an idiot, don't do it.
Evan Sanders
and I have no idea what an aio is but I assume you are talking about my cooler and trying to suggest water cooling like this user. I don't want to get into water cooling so that's not an option for me if you guys could suggest me a better keyboard that's a better or similar price please let me know, also if you can find me a 144hz 1440p monitor better than this one let me know, like I said I am new to this
Xavier James
Your cooler IS a water cooler. How could you NOT have known this?
Tyler Ross
I wouldn't know because I know nothing about this stuff, why do you think I'm asking you. guys?
so if I have a water cooler what's the issue? I've heard good things about my cooler
Jose Richardson
>MAXIMUS AUTISM VIII - Special Chromosome Edition >I have no knowledge of this stuff This is a true statement and your build proves it. People like you should get prebuilt systems before they throw $3k at the jews and afterwards complain about how shit the parts are because they broke something. Pic highly related
Eli Stewart
Alright thanks for the constructive feedback, it really helped me out
Jackson Foster
It has a pump that makes noise and could break, rendering the entire thing useless. The fans that are on the radiator by default are bad and loud. It might have a little better cooling than most air coolers, but you won't ever need or notice that.
On the other hand, a normal heatsink with a fan has nothing that could go wrong, no liquid that could leak, no pump to fail. The only thing that can possibly break is the fan, which is easy and cheap to replace. Air coolers are usually a lot quieter and cheaper at the same performance.
Jackson Gomez
All In One water coolers like that Corsair usually have smaller (relatively speaking, 120 instead of 140 or 150mm) fans at high RPM. An air cooler with a big tower or split tower heatsink and several fans will give you the same cooling performance at a lower price and with less fan noise. Unless you're going for a small case like Mini ITX and can't fit a large cooler, you'd best reserve water cooling for entirely custom loops.
The Masterliquid Pro 240 in this image has two 120mm fans, just like the model in your build.
Anthony Nelson
Do you mind linking me a good air cooler?
David Harris
He's right, you know? You should just get a prebuilt system and use it to educate yourself. The information you need is on google and youtube. We're not gonna waste out time researching for you.
>People like you should get prebuilt systems It actually is constructive feedback. Because that's what's going to happen if you buy parts worth $3k and have no idea what to do with them. Hell, you don't even know what AIO is. Prebuilt systems exist for a reason and it's no shame to buy one if you have no clue, which is the case for you.
Nathan Green
Ok but I'm choosing to make my own pc and it seems I have a fairly good build minus the cooler, so it's not a waste of parts, you guys said my keyboard, speakers, monitor, hard drives are shit but never said why, so I assume it's because they aren't dirt cheap, most people on this board are poorfag neets anyways
Levi Ortiz
>most people on this board are poorfag neets anyways At least we know how to assemble computers and which parts to pick.
Asher Ramirez
still didn't tell me while my parts are shit other than grasping at buzzwords and calling me tech illiterate
I already stated numerous times I am not a computer genius so you don't need to state that irrelevant shit over and over
Juan Mitchell
>didn't even know that his cooler was a water cooler
I'd be curious to see what that build would look like without the help of the compatibility filter.
Asher Lewis
pls help
Joseph Nelson
What makes you think you're in any way, shape or form entitled to get our advice on what to buy with your mom's credit card? Insulting the people you're expecting help from isn't gonna help you all that much either.
And stop using words you don't know the meaning of.
Adrian Perez
>hurr spoon-feed me durr Literally nigger/children mentality.
>no idea about computers whatsoever >calls others poorfag neets Yep. Go Mac. People like you are probably even too retarded for a basic Windows office PC. You autist didn't even manage to read the OP. This alone tells stories about your mental capacity. Anyways.. do whatever you want with your dads money since it seems he agreed on your precious (((GAMING RIG))) present for christmas.
Leo Young
I didn't insult anyone, man up baby. And if you didn't read the thread, it clearly states for people to get advice on their pc so I am entitled. Name one misuse of a word because I guarantee you are 5 years younger than me at least, that's why you all have no money and get mad whenever someone with a job buys expensive parts
Nicholas Powell
Just fuck off already and buy something already assembled for your rich highness' convenience instead of shitting up this thread with whining about nobody wanting to spoonfeed you.
Sebastian Gutierrez
Alright I'll ignore the flaming autists and just try to have a civil discussion like my original intent, anyways I changed my horrific build and improved on it so here it is
The Noctua NH-D14/15, Cryorig H7 or be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 are good options if you want to spend a little more than 'budget' tier for good acoustics.
Christopher Rodriguez
You can get a 3TB HDD for the price of two 1TB HDDs. Are you sure you need 32GB of RAM? People who need that much usually know what they're doing. You can always buy more and add it afterwards if you notice it's not enough.
That case looks like something my 15 year old son would want.
Camden Fisher
thanks I will check out the noctua, and yeah about the hard drive some misinformed idiot told me that 2tb cards and 3tb cards have a high failure rate, it could be true but he was probably exaggerating quite a bit
Christian Miller
I don't really feel like building a pc and want to just buy a refurbed desktop and upgrade it. wut do
Is it worth picking up a Fury now, or should I just get a 1070/wait for Vega? I'd like to get a 1440p monitor soon too, and Freesync looks pretty nice.
Brody Rodriguez
Entirely depends on how cheap a deal you get on it. It's an old card and the only one I can find is 350 bucks, for which you can get better alternatives.
So my first PC build fried because I had a bad PSU. I got a new PSU via RMA and I have decided to take another whack at building a PC.
This PC will be a slow rebuilding process. I am going to start this build with a new mobo and case, and use old parts as temporary. Overtime I will add all of the new parts listed on this list.
Opinions? Im only kind of worried about the case. It looks god tier with its filters and routing chamber, but im kind of worried it will be too wide.
>im kind of worried it will be too wide Too wide for what? Shove it up your butt? Likely.
You could go with a micro ATX MB instead and shove everything in the similar but smaller Air 240, considering you're opting for that short GPU anyway.
Ryder Fisher
Yeah I have considered the Air 240. As for why it would be too wide, this may sound kind of autistic but I have to transport this PC to a friend's place to download stuff because my internet is shit, and I live far out in the country.
Jose Cooper
Nothing right now. Have to wait for Zen + 570
Need 3000MHz RAM while you're spending your mom's money
Vega, Furys are old and hot. Having said that they are tempting at their current price point
Seems like a weird case.. you might look into a bench case if you're already going that wide
Sebastian Harris
Heh, I sometimes go to a friend's place with my laptop and external drive to download stuff becaues his internet is literally 50 times faster than mine. He lives just 2 blocks away.
If you really carry it around alot, how about you go miniITX and a 380t?
I myself have a Corsair Vengeance C70 and the handles come in handy when moving back and forth between two places every once in a while.
Austin Jenkins
I have definitely considered the micro build, I in fact have an exact copy of the build I posted in micro form:
USA, Web browsing, Downloading, 15khz 240P gaming. pcpartpicker.com/list/KGKKsJ Just looking for something small and quiet to hook up to an old trinitron. Onboard video will run to a hdtv for couch pc for youtube and shitposting, 6670 will be reflashed for 15khz and I will use crt_emudriver for proper res.. Already have a main rig and a laptop.
This will only be emulating up to and including 5th gen so it is a bit overpowered but I didn't want to build on a legacy socket.
Rating and suggestions appreciated.
>inb4 neets bitching about cost and xXxG4M3RLYF3xXx telling me to get an unlocked quad core and a better gpu
Eli Nguyen
I'd get a G4400 instead, it's just a couple bucks more. I'm not up to date on the Intel HD graphic 510, but it should make the 6670 obsolete.
Tyler Gutierrez
Anyone have a preference for M.2 SSDs?
Christian Jones
the dgpu is only to output 240p rgb transcoded to ypbpr and fed to an old sd tube tv so I can play old games in original resolution with the highest possible color fidelity.
I was going to use the pentium over the celeron but it's just not needed.I started with a 4400, better chipset, SSD, 8gb ram and started chopping everything it didn't absolutely need. I forgot to mark it but I already have the cpu cooler.
crucial mx300 is what I have, seems fine and has an extra 24-45gb over the other guys.
Connor Thomas
What sort of M.2? The fast ones, or the cheap ones?
Oliver Carter
Just one that is good. I am kind of biased towards samsung but I just wanted to know if there are any better ones out there
Eli Allen
Samsung's the best right now. There isn't a contest because Samsung has a monopoly on good SSD components which lets them sell powerful SSDs cheaper than their competitors.
Leo Allen
Samsung is indeed the best all-around (Intel is the best if we're not considering pricing).
However, Crucial makes good SSDs and Sandisk is hit-or-miss.
Everything else you can disregard.
Kevin Barnes
that's a great build
are you planning on going multi-gpu or something tho? because 850w seems like overkill. it seems like that'd take up 650w at most
Why would you get 2 980tis at this point in time? If it's the hybrid cooling you're a retard.
Zachary Powell
I said "Should I upgrade?" As in "I already have these parts, is it worth ditching a dead platform right now?" This is what I want to upgrade to before Kaby Lake drops. I might skip that gen and wait for Cannon Lake to upgrade again. pcpartpicker.com/list/HxsV2R I'll probably throw out the older AIO for a newer one.
Owen Lewis
Yeah, that plus the Android Pay stuff makes it like 225, which is pretty tempting.
What's the ETA on Vega? I'd heard Q1, but that might have just been for Zen.
Colton Thomas
Vega was Q2-Q3, most likely Q3 last I heard.
Q1 is Ryzen.
Liam Gonzalez
Just say what you want to put in it and that will decide if mini ITX can work for you.
Chances are if you only need to put in a regular size GPU, a single water cooler or tower air cooler, 16gb RAM, one or two HDD, two SSD, then there are many mini ITX options that can work for you including ones with carrying handles + great airflow.
The only restriction is that you get one PCIE slot for one card (you probably are doing that), and that you also are limited to maybe four storage drives. Some cases even allow for dual CPU water coolers.
