So I have a GTX970 right now and it's fine now. However, I might soon upgrade to 4K since my current monitor has low dpi (1080p@27") and as I usually play at less than an arm's length most games look like crap.
My budget is around €300 which is around $250 in the US. I need 120+fps at 4K in CSGO and 60+fps at at least 1440p in other games like BeamNG.
Some of my options: >Sell 970 and get used 980/980Ti >Sell 970 and get new 1070 >Get another used 970
I need some help finding a monitor to compliment this setup.

That 212X is going to cook your 7600K, especially in hot straya. The case is overpriced and not worth it imho and replace the NEX with a SeaSonic G or EVGA G2/3. Your keyword is also overpriced meme trash and looks like rubber dome, there should be better options available, even where you live. >monitor What kind of monitor you emunigger, otherwise i will recommend you a 30 year old 15" CRT monitor.
Elijah Barnes
Budgets exist. 120 GB SSD isn't even worth it. What's the point on gaming on a fast computer, with only 3 games on it? Also not a meme keyboard, you're poor. Some of us don't live in one story crack dens, we like being connected to wifis a mile away.

I still have an R9 280 (rebranded 7950). I can get 40-50 FPS on mid-high on most games still. Is it worth upgrading to a 1060/1070 or should I stick with what I have until the next round of cards come out?

So what about the mobo? You should always get the cheapest one that meets your needs.
Easton Cox
>3000MHz+ RAM will give you a huge FPS boost. No, it's not
Grayson Diaz
See from last thread.
Gavin Myers
>That 212X is going to cook your 7600K
well shit that's annoying - I just happened to have one lying around and hoped it would suffice
I'm waiting for the H7 to become available but I fear it will never happen
know any good replacements? I don't really go nuts overclocking CPU, I mainly fuck with the video card the most
>The case is overpriced and not worth it imho
I was actually starting to think I should just get a normal mid tower. Any suggestions?
>replace the NEX with a SeaSonic G or EVGA G2/3
I'll see what I can find. Fully and semi-modular PSUs are a pain in the dick to hunt for in Aus.
>Your keyword is also overpriced meme trash
I'll try looking outside of pcpartpicker, it's pretty limited there.
Alright well these threads are mainly dirty weeaboos who live off welfare, it was my mistake coming here. goodbye, cuckboys
William Watson
>hoped it would suffice It will, but don't hope for reasonable OC with this, especially not during hot summer days. Would be enough on Skylake though, but Kaby Lake runs hotter due to Intel being jews.
>know any good replacements? I don't really go nuts overclocking CPU Anything from Noctua, Be Quiet Dark Rocks, Cryorig H/R series, etc. but if you don't plan on high OC you should be fine. Maybe consider 6500/7500 instead.
>a normal mid tower Fractal Design Define, Be Quiet Silent Base, Nanoxia Deep Silence, Deepcool Tesseract, Thermaltake Versa, Cooler Master N.
Monitor is fine, we use the 1080p version at work, but no idea how it's for gaymen.
good semi-fully modular PSUs are pretty much non-existent here anymore
Austin Reed
The NH-D14 is good, but see if you can get a NH-D15 or NH-U14S. XFX TS is good, although not top tier. Seasonic G or EVGA G2/3 or Super Flower Leadex are not available? Imho you should get a mechanical keyword, but that's subjective i guess. Your R4 case is ok, but the R5 is updated and better, see if you can get it. Also think about adding 1-2 fans to the case. 2 intake 1 exhaust is usually the sweet spot.
Ayden Torres
run at 3840x2160
There are two main 4K resolution standards: The DCI 4K resolution standard, which has a resolution of 4096 × 2160 pixels (256:135, approximately a 1.9:1 aspect ratio). This standard is widely respected by the film and video production industry.[5] The DCI 4K standard has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of DCI 2K. UHD-1, or ultra-high-definition television (UHDTV), is the 4K standard for television and computer monitors. UHD-1 is also called 2160p[6][7] since it has twice the horizontal and vertical resolution of 1080p.[6] It has a resolution of 3840 × 2160 (16:9, or approximately a 1.78:1 aspect ratio). UHD-1 is used in consumer television and other media, e.g. video games.
I could get an i7-7000 and replace the stock cooler with the Cooler Master I already have, and it will cost a little less than getting an NH-D15 for the i5-7600k
Joshua Brooks
also those PSUs are unavailable
Isaiah Reed
Do you need the HT? If not it's wasted money.
Bentley Martinez
>i7-7000
i7-7700 even
HT?
Kevin Moore

Asher Clark
Hyperthreading. It's usually not something games profit from.
Daniel Hill
nah that's absolutely pointless just get an i5-7600 and use your current hsf
Aiden Reed
>3000MHz+ RAM will give you a huge FPS boost. post benchmarks
Does anyone here have the Strix Z270E motherboard from Asus?
If so, would you happen to know if that light can be turned off, at least when the pc is turned off?
I sleep in the same room as my pc, and that light is far too bright.
> first world problems
Jack Morales
RX 470 4 gb or 1060 3 gb? I know the 1060 performs better now but which one is more future proof? It's for 720p.
Christian Jenkins
>SSDs are a necessity. No, they're a luxury you fucking retard.
>3000MHz+ RAM will give you a huge FPS boost. Only like 3-7fps increase if your GPU is garbage. If you have a good GPU then the benefit of faster RAM is that you can alt+tab more smoothly and have nice benchmarks but faster RAM doesn't really add more to a game or other programs.
You should learn about the shit you post rather then give other anons shit for your stupidity.
Charles Wright
forgot picture
Caleb Watson
They do improve, but if it's just for storage of meme webms and shit it's not worth imho.
>SSDs are a luxury >better get some meme keyboard tho
Michael Reyes
The RX will do better in DX12 gaming, so that's your future proof. But I would spring for a 8GB RX if I could. Although I'm not too sure how long it'll take for DX12 games to become more prevalent since there's only a handful of DX12 games I can think of, like BF1, Hitman and Forza.
David Barnes
I am excited for Zen but I cannot wait for everything and am just going to build my new system with an 8350, am I truly stupid? (P.S. I want to install win7 and not shitty win8 or spyware10)
Andrew Sanders
The memeboard was just stupid and another user already explained that, no one explained why the faster RAM and SSD were something anons on a budget don't need. Also >You need a B150 for an i5-6500 to work at full speed. I mean come on, that's just autism.
Adam Ward
nice kb/mouse choice
Oliver Collins
>Intel i-5
lol intel. anyway, this might be too much if you are on a budget. Maybe a i3 instead?
>dat mobo
don't. Please do not cheap out on your mobo. Buy something good, at least 150 dollary-doos from a good manufaturer like gigabyte, asus, or msi.
>1x ram get 2x4. I don't know much about DDR4 after that.
>mechanical drive
if you are on a budget, i understand this, but if you can, try to also get a 120 gb SSD for your OS to boot off of.
Or instead, get a large capacity SSD, remember, nowadays you can keep most of your PC games on the cloud and don't need to install anything you are not activly playing.
>RX 480 you could save money if you got a 470, or even a 1050 ti
>Wireless adapter just connect with a lan connection. why do people do this? do you live with people that think wires are ugly? re-route it. Wi-Fi is for dumb normies and libraries.
case and PSU are fine and that is a nice keyboard but I would just cheap out on that and put that money toward a better case.
Camden Mitchell
>improper link >those shitty parts
this is quality bait
Jaxson Baker
Just posting here to say that the user saying a hyper 212 isn't good enough for a 7600k is a retard. I overclocked my old Phenom 2 by 1ghz on the same 212 I use now. If you already have a 212, you should never buy another cooler so long as you can still use it, or you really want to get the maximum overclocked possible, which really isn't necessary for everyday use anyway.
Easton King
The one I have is brand new too. I got it as a secret Santa last year. Thought I may as well make use of it. Also no, I won't be pushing the CPU that much.
Brayden Perez
I want to get a H110 instead of a 212 because I'm tired of having a giant metal thing in my computer but...that price difference. I can't do it, I'll feel like an asshole, especially since I don't OC.
Cooper Adams
I think that's fine, but you should keep in mind that it's an aesthetic decision. That other user is saying a 212 doesn't perform well, but it does. As long as you actually know why you're doing it, I think it's ok.
Jonathan Barnes
Got all my stuff on a nearly 7 years old 2TB hdd from Western Digital.
Are my stuff living on borrowed time, or am I ok? I used some tool to check how it was doing, and it said it was healthy, but I also heard these tools don't help much, unless it's right before it dies.
Tyler Butler
That was the only reason. Just be aware that that Pentium might bottleneck that 1060.
Benjamin Long
If you're considering rgb ram, just fucking do it. trust me.
Jeremiah Butler
back it up sempai, get another 2tb drive and back it up.
Christian Ward
looks cool.
Noah Young
You have no idea man. I wish I had a professional camera to share this shit.
This is my first build and its amazing.
Sebastian Peterson
>the eternal Juden that is Intel
Where does this meme come from, because Intel is neither owned nor managed by Jews?
It's pretty much mostly owned and managed by Americans, last time I've checked.
They have a factory in Israel, but they have factories in many other countries (most factories are in the USA, one in China, one in Ireland and one in Israel).
So it's far from being an Israeli or Jewish business, unless you mean that in a figurative way.
Ryan Carter
Get rid of meme KB and buy a 8gb 480 instead. It's like 40 bucks more.
Jordan Cooper
How new are you?
Caleb Mitchell

How did I do?
Justin Bell
>its not jewish if everything it does is jewish but it doesnt do this at the behest of israel
Aiden Edwards
Get an 8GB RX480.
Hudson Young
If I'm overclocking why would I want to incrementally increase the core voltage when the clock speed gets to high rather than just maxing the voltage straight away, and then pushing the clock as much as it can go.
Anthony Ramirez
>4gb gpu
stop
David Peterson
Why would I pay another $50+ for an extra 2 - 3 frames at best?
Jace Edwards
pcpartpicker.com/list/pFKtr7 Ayyyy Sup Forumsooks, I live in USA, going for a gaming build that's capable of 144Hz at 1440p. Any tips on optimizations? Budget of $2,275, planning on keeping build for a few years, with a later upgrade to SSD.
Brody Rogers
>not going for the most cost effective option
stop
Tyler Parker
You're right. You should downgrade your ram and cpu too.
Fuck it. Build for the past, not the future!
Nathaniel Gomez
>4gb GPU >650w PSU >16gb ram for no reason
Noah Brown
I built this with the intention of upgrading the GPU in the future
Thomas Wright
Because voltage equals high temps, clocks don't necessarily equal high temps but voltage does And severe overvoltage can damage your cpu
Jack Hall
Really think you should go with 8gb my man, but eh. do what you feel is best.
I think it will be a lot more than 3 fps you miss out on.
Noah Allen
Even at 4K most games barely pass the 4GB VRAM mark, I've never seen anything past 6GB even at 4K
Easton Anderson
depends on resolution
gtav goes over 5 for me
Elijah Roberts
didn't mean to say resolution
meant to say game and even mods
gtav with mods for me goes just over 5
Adrian Rogers
Ah, so it's not just me being paranoid. Thanks for the heads up

Cooler and thermal compound are shit for OC, mainboard is meme trash, too expensive RAM, no 8GB RX480 and the Arc Midi is obsolete. You did shit.

Can someone help me out? this is my first build.
I need to know what to do after I install my os (win 10).
Like, should I check for motherboard drivers, etc. or is that done automatically these days?
Wyatt Phillips
>motherboard drivers >any year
Eli Jenkins
meaningless
ignore it
Caleb Carter
bios updates or something
Evan Gray
Your motherboard should have came with a dvd/cd with divers on it, for wifi, lan, intel chipset, etc. It depends what you want to work, lan would be useful atleast.
Brayden Gray
Windows 10 gets drivers automatically, but the BIOS can't be automatically updated, you'll need to download a program to swap the BIOS out or do it yourself. Usually BIOS updates don't do much except for maybe hardware compatibility (certain ram, Kaby lake on Z170, etc) And GPU drivers have to be downloaded yourself Windows 10 will do everything else though
Jordan Peterson
Thanks!.
Isaiah Ward
I'm looking at a QX9650 processor for 75$ and I was wondering if it'll work at full speed with my Asus P5B-Plus motherboard and 550w power source.

Can someone help me with my PC. Maybe some missed compatibilities, though I'm pretty sure everything is compatible. My PC is bootlooping.
- i5 7500 - Gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI - G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2133C15D-16GVR
Is the RAM not compatible because it says Z170 instead of H170?
