Posting my nice video game console I assembled with help from this thread

It runs runescape so fast
James Jenkins
Ok we need some replies asap Zen or Kaby Lake for gaymen? For rendering/editing? Expected prices? Will Vega blow away any nvidia cards at the same price point? Or will the 1080ti reign supreme and the battle of $400 GPUS begin?
Ian Taylor
Win 10 or 8.1 for gaming?
Not sure if I want to get Win 10 when there's a lot of mixed reviews here, what do you guys recommend?
Ryan Carter
10 for gaymen now or in the future, that's basically fact Dual boot if the botnet scares you
Caleb Ward
I got a NVIDIA 750 (non TI), I would like to change it. Keep in mind everything is overpriced here, what's a good GPU for 1080p gaming?
Thomas Peterson
Should i replace my i5 2500 for Intel Xeon W3690 ?
Ethan Robinson
Does it give you an edge 1 ticking noobs in the wildy?
Liam Anderson
RX 480 4GB GTX 1060 6GB Dude I can pick flax so fast is nuts
Joshua Price
1050ti is also a cheap 1080p card if you're cool with lowering settings 470 is a great budget 1080p card 460 doesn't quite have the power to hold up high 1080p settings at 60fps

Dude AMD hasn't been in top anything for a long long time, possibly never. The chances of this actually being worth a shit is pretty low.
Even if it is on par, you can get the intel equivalent right now. AMD is always playing catch up. I doubt anything will ever change , even this.
Jackson Nelson
I always thought they had the affordable multicore department on lock (Intels multicore options are relatively new and crazy overpriced), and going by *AMDs personal* benchmarks it looks like they'll still have the multicore area to themselves, seperated from Intel by price, not by performance It's the single core performance people keep arguing over, I personally don't think it'll match the Intel core series (and the one single-threaded benchmark I've seen *with lower than promised zen clocks* agrees) I have my Intel CPU and I know I won't need to upgrade for 10 years, but it's just nice to see where the market shifts happen I do think the hype is just completely fucking uncalled for though, without any objective data yet
Landon Scott
What are requirements for crossfire, when it comes to motherboard? Just the two PCI Express x16 slots?
Is a B150 motherboard a good choice for crossfire with two RX480 graphics cards ?
Connor Morales
Can't crossfire on a B150. Need H170 or Z170 for mGPU. Look up differences in chipsets
If you don't have a 6 or 8-pin PCIe power connector, you're stuck with a 1050Ti
Win10, but it sucks for anything else
Benjamin Morris
It's just slot specs, all he needs is two x8 slots or above, or even get away with one in a x4 slot
Oliver Phillips
Are you retarded or trolling?
Henry Reed
on mobile at the moment so too lazy >FX8350 >XFX RX 480 4gb >8GB 1600 >970A-D3SP mobo
Justin Ortiz
This isn't a specs thread. If you're planning to buy that shit new you are stupid. Used is fine
will they make a high end chipset m-itx motherboard with lots of usb ports and m.2 and shit like absolute MADMEN
what's the current king of mitx friendly GPUs?
Leo Smith
what case fans should I buy. I only have the two that came with my case
Anthony Garcia
I have the same card, is yours hot and loud as fuck?
Jayden Clark
Not really but I haven't gamed all day with it yet
Jonathan Parker
>all he needs is two x8 slots or above, or even get away with one in a x4 slot
Owen Williams
Regarding gfx card, the king is GTX1070 (a 1440p card), but any RX4X0 or GTX10X0 is fine for mini-ITX. None consume much more than 150W
Who knows what AMD's board partners will do, but the specs for the AM4 chipsets have already been released.
I could understand if you bought an AM4 socket APU as a hold over until Zen, but really you have a retarded build. The CPU portion is about equivalent to an FX4350, so you're going to bottleneck the fuck out of that 390.
TL;DR you are fucking retarded and got memed. Pic related
>No sign if galax will release their single slot 1070 outside of chinkland
fuck
Mason Rogers
Keep current card for a bit or wait for vega and hope the 1070 or 1080 go down in price? I regret buying the 1060 3gb version.
Zachary Green
You need to fucking read the post above yours. Why are all these retards coming in here suggesting wasting money on a gfx card that will be hamstrung?
Regarding your temperature question, yes, the lack of case fans is a big problem. It's likely that the card would throttle.
Alexander Harris
>16GB system memory >3GB GPU memory
Are you into self-memeing this hard?
Jackson Russell
Why regret? It's fine for 1080p, like you've got. There aren't even any great 4K cards out right now. You're really looking at the 1080Ti or possibly Vega.
Of course, you can get away with a lesser card, but if you're already forking over money for 4K, may as well spend the extra few hundred for a good card.
Robert Torres
I would like to understand more about what he did wrong
Eli Mitchell
It was originally a single 8gb stick of ram, a Gigabyte H110m-A mb, and a I5-6400 for a budget build around $600, then I started to upgrade. >Are you into self-memeing this hard? It just kind of happened lol.
Aaron Perry
Good point i'll wait it out, ya 1080p is basically flawless on this build.
Cameron Gray
Study the attached graphic and the one in the previous post.
Basically you want a CPU that can properly feed the gfx card (i.e., does not bottleneck the gfx card). You really need to see whether you can upgrade your APU to a better four thread APU and then get a used r9 380, because that's about the most power the better APU will be able to handle
Angel Perry
What think?
John Turner
not bad, I hope your EVGA 1080 isn't a house fire.
Justin Wood
X99/100
Gavin Brooks
Everything I checked says it'll run around 510W. 1080 and DDR4 use a lot less power.
Eli Miller
Fair enough.
If it plays your games at >60fps (because lol it's another meme alert - 60hz) then just sit tight.

I like it. Another person who isn't falling for the tiny case meme
Lincoln Nelson
I think he's talking about how EVGA ACX 3.0 cards don't have VRM thermal pads / a direct connection to the heat sink fin array and some cards were overheating the VRM's. EVGA did a recall / offered to send out thermal pads to owners for free.
AG's can build better PC's than MN's believe it or not.
Brayden Thomas
ah, forgot to switch in a smaller one and sdd
yeah, buyin windows :/
Michael Richardson
Lie. You only need a chromebook to check google weather.
Jaxon Long
No SSD / 10 Probably overpaying for your needs
Cameron Hill
>no m2 ssd >paying full-price for windowsd
Wyatt Brown
see >overpaying for what i need, nah son
Mason Taylor
Sata ssd, pcie ssd or m2 ssd?
William Cooper
you can literally build a G3900 PC for $150
why do the general public not know this?
why do moms have fucking i5 PC's that cost almost $1000?
why do they say things like "my computer is old and i need a new one"
why do prebuilt manufacturers tell people they need a new computer when their HDD dies because they didnt have a UPS rather than tell them they can get a $19 250 gig WD which is more than they'll ever need and a $50 APC UPS?
Noah Ortiz
Anyone know where I might be able to buy a replacement m2 ssd standoff?
how's my build? particularly interested in the following points:
- is the HDD decent quality? don't want to cheap out on it - will it all fit in the case? - need extra thermal compund or wires? - need more fans? - should I get a power supply closer to 500W?
Isaac Price
another point of interest:
- how's the GPU? should I go with a different brand?

Carter Cox
By like 8 bucks, shipping may factor in.
Carter Torres
don't care about the price that much since I'll be paying for this with scholarship bux
Aiden Edwards
That just means you can buy more shit :). It's $350 if you buy directly from newegg and free shipping.
Jose Howard
Odd question but
Can video be fed into a GTX 970 at all? Is there any function on the card that allows that at all? Video in through any of the ports on it.

Free shipping to australia? Read his link in his first post. Those prices are all AUD SENPAI.
Eli Morgan
Hahaha what
Eli Clark
yeah like said, australia is shit when it comes to pc parts
Henry Foster
Can anyone recommend a good small PSU for an ITX build? 300w will be enough.
Gavin James
Would help if you could explain why. Aren't the reds technically 'better' than the blues? If my budget allows me to spend more shouldn't I spend more?
Adam Thomas
Hey I'm also a first time builder in australia going for a very similar set up What's your build's purpose? You may want to go for a 2TB HDD or get an external for storage
Brody Williams
just all-round use i guess, i start uni in two months, BaAdvSci(Hons), so i'll probably be using some computational software like mathematica or matlab. also tv shows and movies. probably a lot of games too (hence the 1070). i've just used the same old laptop and pc all my life so i want a nice high end pc that i can use reliably and upgrade for 5-10 years. i already have a 1TB external HDD so I think I'll only need another 1TB for now, at least until you can buy 5TB SSDs for $100.
Adam Thompson
>Running a Dell Opti MT 790 >Factory MOBO with i5 2400 >Threw an $80 EVGA GT 740 in it last summer >Use the machine for shitposting and playing vidya >Actually considering upgrading the PSU to some 500W or 650W and getting a Zotac GTX 1060
I'm poor and stupid, would the upgrades work? Or would they toast my mobo?
Christian Cooper
Yeah you seem to be all set then. Sorry I can't really comment on your current build Good luck for your first year of Uni
Julian Peterson
Depends on whether the connection between the PSU and the mobo is proprietary.
Blake Torres
Make sure the power supply can fit in that case. Dell cases sometimes have some proprietary bullshit going on that doesn't fit with normal ATX stuff. I'd just play it safe and stick to a 1050ti and keep your current power supply.
Ethan Allen
Hey /pcbg/,
I'm looking for a high FPS 1080p build. I've been working on this for a bit, but I wanted to know general opinions on it, or things to streamline a bit.
I keep jumping back and forth between the graphics card, the case (Which supposedly does fit the EVO and has front USB 3.0 ports despite what partpicker says), and whether to use 8 or 16gb ram.
Budget should keep it around this same area, $700-800 USD. Any suggestions or help to offer? Thanks in advance, guys.
Just like to point out that you have a non-k, non-overclockable intel CPU in your setup. 6600K is what you're looking for.
Daniel Cruz
I'd like to thank this thread and the anons who browse it for helping me find the right parts and build a capable computer. My last machine had a GTX 645, so this definitely feels like an upgrade.
James Hill
where's a good place to buy an OS? no gnu pls, I have to do solidworks, Autocad, Cam programs too. I'd also like to game.
I looked at Kinguin and their 25$ keys, but I'm unsure if they're legit.
Cooper Carter
Thanks for the help. I did some research and the mobo's power through the PCIe x16 slot is "designed for a 35 watt draw" or something like that. I'm probably better off building a whole new machine for anything nicer..
Andrew Nguyen
>Dat monitor.
Wew.
Colton Cooper
Just buy em with a visa gift card or something. If it goes bad, the kinguin insurance policy should cover you.
