my friend game me a case and graphics card for free, and monitor for free. So I have an extra 550$ to spend on the rest of the PC. Here's what I got: pcpartpicker.com/list/VsDXVY What would you change?
Asher Thompson
As the other user said, get 3000MHz RAM
Luke Hernandez
Is that all I should change?
Dylan Nelson
That's it. Once you save up $1K get a 1440p HDR adaptive sync >100Hz IPS monitor and 1070 or 1080Ti tier graphics card
Lucas Parker
I'm going to slowly upgrade my computer piece by piece. What should be my priority?
I'm thinking double the ram, upgrade to an i7 then get a new GPU.
Cooper Perez
You're fine for now. OC if need be. Next upgrade is here
Ryder Howard
Just noticed that you don't have an SSD. Grab a 240GB for $60
James Phillips
Sorry to tell you this but your CPU is good already
Wyatt Murphy
guts of revival
Oliver Campbell
Born out of /pcbg/
Jackson Butler
16gb of ram is all I would change. Unless you want to go with Nvidia.
Henry Green
I have a question I am going to replace my graphics card tomorrow and I was wondering if there would be any BIOS or something I would need to look out for. Is it like RAM where it is plug and play basically?
Blake Phillips
>What's a good modular power supply, 500-700w? NOT CORSAIR.
Fuck Corsair, I've had it a year and it just dies for days/weeks at a time.
Brayden Ward
If it's compatible then it's plug, install drivers, and play.
Jose Collins
I agree ram needs to be at 16gb to be on the safe side to be future proof especially being fast on video games and video editing tasks. I would say 8gb would be good if you do not plan to do anything much but even then the new Steam games are starting to upgrade to the 8gb minimum and 16gb max.
Justin Morgan
How bad would a 2500k/RX480 combo be?
John Brooks
Is coolermaster any good? I've only used their fans/heatsinks
Not actually sure how much power this will draw, It'll be pic related plus 1 SSD and 3+ HDD
Logan Price
Seasonic x-series
Carson Garcia
EVGA Supernova G3
Luke Reyes
Scratch modular, I don't need it. Also don't need the 0 RPM fan mode either.
I thought I'd just buy a really nice PSU and I'd never have to worry about anything again.
Grayson Hernandez
>pcpartpicker.com/user/pcbg/saved Jesus Christ. Those builds are retarded. Neck yourself OP.
Oliver Morgan
You better get a Nvidia card if you have an old CPU because driver overhead.
Sebastian Sanders
> >Is coolermaster any good? >I've only used their fans/heatsinks > >Not actually sure how much power this will draw, It'll be pic related plus 1 SSD and 3+ HDD Why 3 HDD? Just get one 4tb one.
Eli Carter
I have one 4tb one. And a 2tb one, and a 1tb one. kek
Jonathan Mitchell
A lot of I3 in the beginning really were cringe. Either go I5 or I7 or nothing at all.
Jace Evans
Is this overhead difference really that significant? I can get a 1060 if it is but I'm too sick and tired of Nvidia's bullshit so I'd rather stay away from them if it's possible.
Jose Edwards
The build there are all together complete shit and cringe. This list should not be any further included in the current state.
Jonathan Brooks
I didn't read the sticky, my mistake. Looks like that coolermaster in: is about right. I just measured my current system and it's drawing 180w max, 90 idle. (i5 750, 8gb ddr3, HIS 6770). I put the new build through a caculator and it said it'll be about 270w, are power supplies a meme? They're all 500+
Out of stock
$200AUD, looking for low $100

Brody Morris
no need. you roasted yourself
Ian Powell
>being polish My toliet's clogged again, gonna need you to pick up my shit again
Eli Rivera
I fell for the cx600 meme and a year in the fan started rattling occasionally, should I return it and get sent another and not be able to use my PC til then or should I get something else?
Brandon Thomas
NT-H1, PK-2/3 nano, Kryonaut, MX3.
Tyler Flores
Cooler Master V series 650W vs SeaSonic G-650 650W?
SeaSonic G-650 would cost 20 € less
Dominic Smith
Corsair RM650x
Nolan Gutierrez
But aren't Corsair PSUs the meme that lead me to this situation of needing a new one if the first place?
I can get their Platinum King 80+ for the same price, should I go for that one instead?
Colton Stewart
Oh for sure it's obviously an later released upgrade of the green.
Julian Ross
Asked this in a thread before, but it'd like to get a few more opinions on this since i'm not sure myself.
I'm currently making a new build since i'll have some time arround christmas/new year to assemble and install everything i need. Also Asus has some nice cash back deals and Mindfactory has always good sales. Purpose is mostly university, work, webdev, light programming, PhpStorm / IntelliJ, VMware, shitposting, watching chinese cartoons and some occasional light gaming (old shit like swkotor). I'd like to play other games, but no time and i can always buy a GPU. I doubt i'll need a dedicated GPU for my usage and the B150 mobo comes with 1x HDMI and 1x VGA and the Z170 with even more, which is enough for me. I currently have no space for a third monitor anyways. Depending on local deals/sales and so on i might change one or two items. I will also get 1-4 Be Quiet! SilentWings 2, which are cheap if the case fans are shit. Location is obviously Germany, budget doesn't really matter, but i do not want to overpay, my inner jew is too strong. On the other hand, the system is build to last about 4-6 years until i'm done with education. I've made a budget 6500 and a better 6700K (alternatively 6600K) version. The third option would be Zen, but i don't really want to wait until Q3/4 2017 when the 4/6C 8/12T processors come out, the 8C/16T will be to expensive since they compared it to the 6900K.
Please give me your opinion on this, what you'd do in my position and why.
Gavin Wilson
I would just get a 5820k if you were going to buy a 6700k. 6 cores ain't no joke. I have a 6600k, its nice but sometimes limited with regards to vm's and encoding and stuff.
Xavier Gray
So I'm selling my old rig to a friend, what would you value this at Sup Forums? When I got it a few years ago it cost like 550 to make. pcpartpicker.com/list/wNrfxY
Jordan Scott
Thanks, but 2011-3 platform is overall too expensive for me. I set myself the limit of 1000 € for a high-end build without a GPU.
Justin Brooks
The Z97-A only has 2 PCI-E 2.0 lanes available for the M.2 slot. Would using a drive with that even be any faster than using a regular SATA SSD?
Ryan Thomas
>de.pcpartpicker.com/list/vrj7sJ You are a perfect candidate for Ryzen. Just wait until January and buy the lower-tier 8 core Zen with a B350 motherboard. And tell me how Achmed's dick tastes in your manwhore German mouth.
Is this good for entry level gaming? I need to hover at around 550.
Easton Thompson
>the lower-tier 8 core Zen There will be more than one version initially? I only read about the 8C/16T @3.4GHz Ryzen CPU. This one is probably going to cost 400+ which is definitely too much. The versions with less cores won't come until later in 2017 and i kinda don't want to spend 300+ € on a ~2.8GHz lower version of Ryzen.
>how Achmed's dick tastes in your manwhore German mouth Idk, but i could ask some degenerate #refugeeswelcome bitches at my college. Also, see pic related.
Henry Wilson
The lower-end 8 core is rumored to start at $350. And it's only 0.4GHz slower than the top-end Zen. All Zens will release at the same time.
Jayden Kelly
>it's only 0.4GHz slower That would be totally fine, but i doubt the price will be. $350 translates into roughly 390€ because of the fucking taxes we have to pay. Fuck the EU, fuck this government, taxation is theft.
>All Zens will release at the same time. I've read that initially only the 8C CPU will be available in Q1, might be that i'm not up-to-date anymore. If that's the case it makes it even harder to decide. The 6C CPU for hopefully 250-350 at hopefully 3.6GHz looks like the sweet spot for me. Jesus AMD don't tease me desu~
Wyatt Ramirez
Trying to replace my shitty 10 year old desktop, dunno much about building my own though. Wondering if I should attempt it or if I should just buy something like pic related. I also don't use Sup Forums much so if I'm posting in the wrong spot I'm sorry, just hoping for advice.
Adrian Cooper
I wouldn't buy a pre-built AMD FX system unless they were practically giving them away. Intel's a better bet there since OEMs actually gave a damn about making their Intel systems not crap and not unreliable since those are their bread and butter.
Carter Ortiz
Is it possible to swap out the AMD for an intel at a later time? I'm on a short budget and don't do anything higher end than LoL and Overwatch so I'm not too focused on it being fantastic.
Adam Williams
I need help finding a good HDD that is quiet to go with my SSD. Recs appreciated.
Can I just torrent Windows and install it via usb to save money? Or do I need to buy it to get a key?
First pc build, Going to be mostly used for gaming.
John Stewart
Oh, and the graphics card is placeholder for an MSI 1060.
Chase Ramirez
That's horrible for that price, you can get something a lot better if you build your own. pcpartpicker.com/list/vcT7sJ This, for example. It's extremely easy to build a PC, just use guides on the internet.
Matthew Ramirez
Hi guys, just a quick question. I have an ATI Radeon 5850 and I want to improve to a 1060 6gb. It is a good choice for 260€?Should I wait for the new upcoming GPUs? Note that I would be playing 1080p
Cooper Ward
Nope. Not at all. You'd need to buy a whole new motherboard, RAM, and CPU. There are no further upgrade paths for AM3+ anymore, so find a cheap Celeron G3900 prebuilt for $300 or so. That way you can at least upgrade to an i7-6700 later on when you have more money.
Kayden King
You don't need 16GiB of RAM for gaming. I would just get 12GiB. With the money that saves, I would get a 2TB hard drive. Something like this: pcpartpicker.com/list/JfvFm8 You don't need a key, you can just use an activator such as Daz Loader. As to how well it works, I have no idea. Get a RX 480 8GB instead. It is on par with the 1060 for DX11 games, and better than the 1060 for DX12 and Vulcan, on both the 3GB 1060 and the 6GB 1060.
Daniel Wood
Thank you sir. No more waiting then

Charles Lewis
What's the purpose, gaming, shitposting, etc? If it's for some work and shitposting only, get a prebuilt Intel i3-6100 PC without a dedicated GPU.
I'm running ubuntu, and randomly, recently, I have been having trouble booting. The first time I simply reformatted, but now I get low-graphics mode, login loops, random disconnect from the internet, and goddamn i am reduced to the terminal and every command takes forever.
It's a asus z87-a , seems like many people have had it die after the same time frame as me (2 years). I'm not sure whether to buy a LGA1151 mobo or get another LGA1150.
Ahh okay I see. Darn, I thought I'd found a good one too. But the build you posted looks pretty good, cheaper too. Thank you for your help friends, I think I might get those parts you listed instead.
Logan Watson
uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/Zdf4Z8 Now it is. WD Black is overrated and overpriced. 850 Evo is just... just get it. Toshiba P300 is an excellent HDD for a good price, idk why it isn't more popular. Enthoo Pro seems overkill, at least get the Enthoo Pro M. I swapped it for the much smaller Define C, if you need more bays get the Define S, if you want a 5" bay, get the Enthoo Pro M or Define R5. Since you're from EU you have the luxury to buy Palit GPUs. The SuperJetstream is a very fast, cool and quiet card, it's also cheaper. Also rethink if you're fine with 8GB RAM, 16GB is recommended. Other than that, good build.
Jaxson Phillips
What is the fastest path to getting all windows 7 updates installed on a fresh system? Do I get SP1 and then the latest convenience rollup?
Robert Gonzalez

Levi Green
Is DDR4 3000MHz worth the premium over 2400MHz? There's 16gb gskill on sale for $75.
Daniel Price
>tfw you found a cheap X79 dual CPU motherboard Feels good man >tfw you still don't have all money to buy it. And I still need the E5's the graphics card, the PSU, the coolers and all shit.
Robert Rodriguez
Don't use eBay Israel, user.
Jack White
If it's a z97 good luck. They're basically non existent now. I have a 4790k that's just sitting here. Fucking bullshit.
Landon Nelson
No, just go 2400 if it's on sale. If you're just gaming the difference is negligible
Wyatt Howard
Yeah, they totally don't exist anymore, send me your processor goyim.
Isn't for gaming, mostly a general linux box/server/seedbox, with playing some old games occasionally on the igpu. Thanks for the advice.
Michael Hughes
Hmm, let's see.
>ECS >L337 >ASRock
>Killer Ethernet
That eliminates like 90% of those. The others I don't like.
Nathan Gutierrez
>I don't like >don't exist Pick one dipshit
Angel Gonzalez
Sure if it's on sale Most 16Gb ram ends up being $70-80 from 2133-3000 at least
Parker Clark
Yeah, a bit on the high end there and with ugly "heatsinks" too. Kinda bummed about the DDR4 price hike since I have no choice since it's my first build with it.
Christopher Garcia
What should I upgrade from this? Thinking about 8gb more ram and a larger SSD.
accidentally bought the wrong psu lmao
Connor Rivera

Good? Bad? What do i change
John Clark
Post criticism or shut up. Or perhaps you think I give a shit about your anonymous opinion?
It's ok, probably want an aftermarket cooler to make sure that the CPU keeps its max boost clocks Otherwise drop down to the i5 6500 Consider a HGST HDD
The SSD if you want it What's your res? If 1080p the rest is fine Otherwise save up for a really nice monitor and the gfx power to drive it
Considering you probably won't even use all that RAM, faster RAM is worth the small difference in cost even if you have to buy less of it. Can always add more down the road when it will be cheaper and actually useful
Some pirate versions have all the updates rolled into them
Hard to know what the problem is. What's your CPU? If you are using an i3 or a slow i5 just upgrade and sell your current CPU on ebay
CPU? Might need to upgrade both at the same time
Zachary Rogers
i'm and i have a 1080p IPS I like a lot. Not gonna upgrade until 4k IPS is cheap enough and I can afford a quality GPU
2160p will pretty much be an end all res unless you have amazing eyesight. Definitely wait to get all the bells and whistles you want (>100Hz, HDR, adaptive sync) and a model known for reliability
