Drop cooler, use stock Get a ~24" monitor. Used they're $50
Jacob Sullivan
I've heard the stock cooler is loud and overall pretty shitty, is that not true? As for the monitor, any particular model you would reccomend?
Carter Lopez
If you're at 1080p 60Hz model doesn't matter. I'm using an AOC 2330V I got for $50. Current Intel stock coolers are fine
Angel Adams
Get Cryorig M9i as cooler replacement. Cheaper, quieter, smaller and slightly cooler than the meme 212.
James Morris
>cheaper Don't od on memes there son
Leo Diaz
A smaller CPU cooler is literally a bad thing

Anyone know if the m2 slot on the GIGABYTE GA-Z270M-D3H (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z270 is on the front or back of the board?

How well would an i5-6600K at 4.4Ghz + RX 470 8GB be able to run todays titles at high/ultra settings?
I just wanna know if I should wait for something better, since the GTX 960 isn't completely outdated yet.
Brody Clark
Why would you post that disgusting picture?
Nicholas Ramirez
what about an i5-7500 + GTX 1060?
Jose Perry
pretty well
Jordan Lewis
Very likely the same. You said "Todays titles" but there aren't very many todays titles. 1060 is better than 470 but the fps change is only marginal. 480 8GB would be your best choice as it's cheaper than 1060 and better than 470.
Daniel Butler
Wait until the RX 500 series comes out in a few months. You'll get the Vega architecture, which is "new" as far as I understand it. Polaris (RX 400 series) seems to be the end of the GCN line.
Colton Clark
Overclocking does make a significant difference even in games, if money isn't a huge huge issue i would get the K The 470 will probably handle 1080p high 60fps, you'd probably need a 480/1060 for 1080p ultra 60fps People are saying the 480 is marginally better than the 1060 now with updates, where it was marginally worse when they were released
Juan Brooks
Don't really have the money for a K series CPU and Z series mobo plus cooler, so I'm sticking with a non-overclockable mobo and CPU. As for the GPU, I am looking more towards upgrading to a 1070 down the line so I'll most likely be sticking with Nvidia for my GPU.

Guys this is my first build and I'm getting really caught up over motherboards. Could really use some advice for a tech novice.
I going to be using wifi to connect to the internet due to living arrangements. So I've been looking at mobos with built in wifi.
How does this work? If I get a mobo with built in wifi presumably I don't need a usb wifi adapter? or a wireless network card?
If I get a mobo without built in wifi can I a novice easily just fit a network card? In which case is it just a cost thing whether it is cheaper to buy each separately or one mobo with it built in?
>buying from ayyymd You are just as stupid as those people expecting anything but trash from ryzen
Robert Clark
"Built in wifi" is just a wifi mPCIe card
Jayden Torres
Sup /pcbg/, I have a haslel i5 and a B85 board, but a friend is offering me a skylel i7 and a Z170 board for cheap. Can Windows 7 survive this move without being reinstalled?
Benjamin Brown
How worth is it to get 16GB of ram instead of 8GB and upgrading to 16GB later?
Daniel Morris
this, just get a dongle or a wired connection
Cameron Hill
You probably don't need the optical drive. Also you forgot a case
Just get a PCIe wireless card. Less shit to die on the mobo itself
You're pretty stupid if you can't follow leaks t b q h f a m a d i n g d o n g
Ryan Moore
Are these meme processors or a legit way to make 10 year old duo2cuo computers somewhat usable?
Brayden Parker
Just get what you need now. Although 16GB is the best price/GB
Matthew Walker
480 performs better in most benchmarks than 1060. Like I said it's a fucking insignificant difference either way, that why I suggest "480/1060" when I recommend these because of fanboy dipshits like you, but if you're gonna bitch about "better" get ready to believe that AMDs top-end GPU is a better deal than nvidias lowest-end GPU. But that's not relevant, tell me why you think buying a 1070 in the future (which is a fantastic card with no competition) means you need an nvidia card right now (the nvidia card that is more expensive and arguably worse than a 480, by the way)? I'm basing my advice off of benchmarks and data, I don't give a shit if my pixel coloring hardware was designed by team a or team b as long as it performs People only become fanboys because they hate other fanboys, don't be a part of the problem.
Adam Barnes
>Less shit to die on the mobo itself
You can just replace the "built-in" wi-fi with any mPCIe/NGFF laptop wi-fi card from ebay if it dies.
Brayden Green
if your motherboard doesn't have built-in WiFi just use a pcie wireless card, you plug them in the same way as your graphics card, just make sure your motherboard has 2 pcie slots
Gavin James
If your motherboard doesn't have mPCIe*
Nathan Lewis
I have case and a copy of win 7
Daniel Thomas
unless you can find a really good deal or need a lot of ram just get 8 gigs. DDR4 will only get cheaper from this point on.
Jayden Parker
If that's an OEM disc the key is probably locked to your old mobo
Eli Price
not really
Jonathan Edwards
I agree, the difference is negligible. I completely understand people who like the AMD cards and don't dislike them for it. The 1060 just fits my aesthetic for my build better. AMD definitely is a better deal, but I'm just autistic about colors and design so I prefer the GPU I picked in this case.
Ryan Perry
Which card brand are you going with that is both aesthetic and cross-brand? I can't think of any really, all the AMD-specific cards look dumb and all the nvidia-specific cards look dumb too The cards that look good are generally cross-brand, unless you prefer a black (or silver) plastic box with shit cooling blower card
Grayson Wood
What do you mean "not really?" There's no in between with whether a copy is OEM or not.
Angel Butler
This is not an appropriate use of the word "aesthetic" Please use it to describe a something like a sensation, see: >Which card brand are you going with that has both aesthetic appeal and is cross-brand.
Thanks!
Jaxon Perry
I have used this on my laptop that had win 8
Samuel Lee
I don't quite understand your question. If you are asking what manufacturer I am buying my 1060 from, I am getting the MSI-produced one. Yes I have seen their RX 480 one but I prefer the design of that or the Gigabyte one better. The MSI version of the 480 is also only marginally cheaper than their version of the 1060 (at least according to pcpartpicker)
Angel Lewis
Sorry I meant to say which card is A E S T H E T I C *Windows XP ding* It's a term popularized and bastardized by insecure hipsters like yourself Also aesthetic: (noun, adjective)
Daniel Murphy
But it performs better And it's cheaper And MSI uses the exact same coolers for both AMD and nvidia (this actually used to cause huge problems) It's still edgy red
Bentley Reyes
>750w
For what purpose?
Josiah Robinson
>bastardized by insecure hipsters like yourself I literally just told you to stop using the term in the way that you're implying I use it you god damn troglodyte
Adrian Myers
>i don't know what OEM means phew
Asher Fisher
And I literally told you what card is cheaper, better and looks the same as MSI edgy gaymen red
Xavier James
Technically most modern laptops "are aesthetic" as they do focus on visual appearance, good or not, it's not incorrect
Zachary Hernandez
The difference in price is only marginal though.
Carter Scott
No you didn't, all you told me was some stupid shit about how to use the word aesthetic the wrong way
Hudson Powell
No they fucking aren't god dammit, aesthetic cannot be used as an independent adjective like a color can be.
Brayden Ramirez
Merriam-Webster says you're wrong, look it up
Samuel Wilson
Would you pay more to be 6% worse?
Elijah Wright
Would you poo in the loo just once, to be 2% better in the games that matter?
Evan Thomas
original equipment manufacturer
Luke Evans
Do you tell lies on the internet for fun? None of these are independent adjectives. The sentence "This computer is aesthetic" would be incorrect as the word aesthetic does not modify a noun that comes afterwards, such as "improvement" or "appeal."
Andrew Hall
>1060 used to be 12% better in old games >1060 is now 2% better in old games >2% Aging like milk confirmed
Hudson Hughes
Thanks good advice
Logan Sanders
Sorry I wasn't aware you were an English language learner All-Salami alley cum, brother
Blake Watson
>he can't tell the difference between a noun and an adjective you are literally retarded since your so thick, here's an example: a painting HAS an aesthetic, but a painting IS aesthetically pleasing
Benjamin Anderson
another example: a palette of different shades of blue is not a palette of the adjective blue, but the color
Cameron Scott
You know what's not aesthetic? Paying extra and getting worse performance
Brandon Hernandez
Well of course not, paying extra and getting worse performance can't possibly be a poorly worded use of a word that implies its noun form
Jeremiah Roberts
It's "aesthetical" you fucking retards You guys can't even scroll down a little further after finding a counterargument online
Jeremiah Martinez
It's technically Aisthetic, properly abbreviated to Aib. Linux can do this.
Jayden Cruz
Pissed of "aesthetic can't be used that way" user here, never seen it used this way but it actually makes sense. Not that anyone will actually stop using the incorrect form.
Alexander Howard
Proof that the more and more you focus on lingual accuracy, the more and more retarded you sound Personally I just call it "looks" and never have a problem
Alexander Scott
I'm going to co opt your post to make another example of my point
"I bought this computer because it is look" is just as grammatically incorrect as using aesthetic in place of look.
Eli Walker
I've been wanting to upgrade for a while now. I want to play muh gayms at max settings on 1080p. I currently have an i5-4670k. Can I get away with just upgrading my GPU? I'm not sure if my CPU is going to be a problem or not.
Austin Reed
>technology posting in my grammar thread disgusting
Ian Jones
>because of its looks Like I said, strict conformance to an archaic language makes you sound retarded, even the Webster dictionary realizes that (like how "literally" literally doesn't mean literally)
Luis Wood
Yes easily assuming 60hz screen Get a 480
Connor Price
Some stuff does. I'm sure you would have used looks in a different sentence than the one I made, I was just making a point about how looks and aesthetic should play the same role in a sentence, as a qualitative feature.
Liam Garcia
sorry
What should I look for if I have a 144Hz monitor?
Kayden Thompson
>perfect adherence to lingual rules >can't actually get his point across through language This is the world we have to look forward to Kill me
Josiah Clark
No I wouldn't, I'd call it looks whether or not it's correct because 100% of people will understand me Feels good being a brainlet that can communicate
Samuel Price
I sincerely hope you wouldn't say "I don't like that because it is looks" because if so you have a mental disorder
Carson Scott
You already got the (you)s explaining this. I would say 1070 if you're wanting high Hz on new games, a 4670k may have issues reaching that fps often but try it out first, I mean you know you'll need a new GPU anyways, you might not need a new cpu
Brandon Scott
awesome, thanks my dude

Alright guys give it to me straight, for what reason should I not buy a Ryzen CPU? Because it's sounding pretty enticing.
Jeremiah Nguyen
It will be late and more expensive than you thought
Adrian Powell
Those are fairly good reasons
Logan Walker
Because AMD always disappoints. >wait for [whatever the fuck the followup to ryzen is called] it's gonna be great! This will be all you see in build threads 2-3 months from now.
Luke Ortiz
I'm building a PC on a smallish budget (950CAD) and I'm wondering if it is worth it to go for 2400Mhz ram.
