shit tier edition

>shit tier

I contribute!

Ikr? I reinstalled W7 yesterday. I missed this. Like everything is alright again.

>Socket A Sempron
well, that's something I haven't seen in a while

Celeron, GT 430, but why

Bought used parts (new CPUs are expensive as hell) and assembled this beast 2 days ago. I love him

...

...

Your PC is my spirit animal. Also built out of scrap, slightly higher caliber of scrap though.

What do I win?

Posting my main (desktop) PC
Laptop maybe later if requested

Bro you didn't even follow instructions

Who here /Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me/ tier?

>tfw no raisin 1800x

Medium shittyness, I rate this a could be worse/10

Here you go

pls dont hate

Probably one of the more sane newer builds I've seen on here :)

Just add another ram stick if you need it down the line.
I too got the 1060 6gb, more than enough for games on 2560x1080, probably for years.

...

I need a new cpu/mobo soon. Could only get 3.8 OC with stock cooler.

Hate me all you want, this beast still does everything I need from it

...

Would appreciate harshest sincere criticism available.
Note:
>rig built in mid-2014
>made for gaming
>Planetside 2 STILL bottlenecked by CPU and not GPU
>Upgraded from 8 to 32gb RAM for multiboxing last month

Nothing to hate really, you could get a used fx-8xxx and overclock it if you need more cpu power. Same with ram.

Get a gtx 1060 6gb if you can find a cheap one, and you'll be set for years probably.

My near exact set up, except i have a gtx 950 SC

...

>Bottlenecked by CPU
>Didn't change MOBO/CPU, instead bought 24GB of ram

This machine actually has 128GB of RAM in it and better displays.

I'm not booted into my Windows partition right now. Haven't been in a couple days. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying an X370/1700 setup. I'm losing even this argument. And it's with myself for fuck's sake!

Does that mean I win or lose the argument?

>alienware
>4g 1080
gud goy!

display included

Gotta get myself one of them 1080Tis.

A lil' bit cold today.

That's just speccy being a piece of trash program, it's got 8 GB memory like every other 1080.

Really don't understand why speccy is the main choice of these autistic threads when it's objectively bad at what it does.

Getting a 1080p monitor next.

1080p is miserable in 2017. Do yourself a favor and get at least 1440p

Meme resolution.
Let me guess, you fell for the >60hz meme too.

Retard

Mine is 144 Hz yeah but 60 is fine for desktop usage, his 1050ti wouldn't push 144 fps at 1080p or 1440p so 1440p@60 would bw ok for him and he'd probably still play games at 1080p which is fine too.

Just not enough pixels for day to day computering

Is ok for gaming.

Though I wish I went for fast 8gigs instead of budget 16gigs. I've never used more than 8 let alone 16. And CS likes dat ram speed.

did I seriously forget the fucking speccy

..

time to identify more store fronts

>mfw

brrrrr
toasty
x1600 ;)
solid upgrade.

find a p67 or z68 mobo and you can do 4.2/4.0 on that cpu. Get a z75 or z77 with MCE and it will do 4.2 all cores unless its junk. running mine at 4.0 all cores with 102.6 bclk. got the mobo for $60.

A 1050Ti isn't going to do much more than 60fps @ 1080p max.

fuck me too :/
>falling for the 19 megabyte meme.

the temps on speccy are fucked up, it's closer to 40°C than 90°C, I've replaced the thermal paste barely 1 month ago, before that screenshot

But it can drive a desktop at non manlet res at least

What should I upgrade first?

...

Guess my late-last-year desktop setup based on my laptop

I need a new video card, PSU, and probably a larger SSD.

can't wait for the ryzen speccys to show up

I'll probably upgrade to an i7 soon

...

upgraded to 4gb ram like 4 months ago
feelsgoodman.jpg

What vidya you play on that?

games up to 2011 run pretty good on high/mid settings, modern stuff usualy just strait says that my pc is shit and don't run at all
unreal engine 3 of any year tend to run great guilty gear Xrd revalator goes high with almost no drops, just makes temperature go up too much
modern things made on unity tend to do well, if dev doesn't have arms from an ass, or vidya is to graphicaly intence

In general, each games behaves unpredictibly
For example TF2 used to work above 80 FPS on mid, after sertain update it went to shit, with horibble framedrops etc.


Mobas work on low/mid smoothly depending on title, i dont play them tho

atm mostly play fighting games and tinker with random games to make them work at all/ok.

...

Built it in 2013 when my last rig died. Looking to upgrade to 1440p with a 1080 in the next 6 months or so. Does anyone have any experience making the jump from 1080p to 1440p while playing competitive games? FPS, Dota, Starcraft, etc. I'd like to for single player games, but I'm not sure if it's going to feel like shit playing any of the above after over a decade on 1080p.

Please advise.

...

...

rx480 or 1060 ? i can wait a little longer for rx580 but the rumour is that it's going to be a rebrand of 480.

1060 on the other hand will receive a memory boost

want to upgrade my gpu soon, pretty happy otherwise

>upgrading from a gtx 1080 to a gtx 1080ti

Good little goy

...

...

should I overclock?

Nah buy an unlocked chip and just sit on free performance.... fucking retard.

isnt running hot bad for your cpu?

what if it doesnt live as long?

>buy 4670K
>runs really hot on torture loops and CPU heavy gaming
>remove heatsink, clean off old paste, reapply
>runs just as hot

I'd overclock mine, but I'm afraid of setting it on fire

Delid.

Considering an upgrade to GTX1070 / 7700k

Will i see a difference ?

2scary4me
I'm basically a pleb and even dusting out my computer for the first time made me afraid to fuck something up.

what cooler?

what paste?

how did you apply it? (amount, shape, etc)

...

My overclock @ 1.23V

ill bite rate my shit laptop

...

prolly not m8

Phanteks PH-TC12DX_BK
Arctic Silver 5, probably
I think both times were the dot method

nah, cpu, ram, video cards are all a meme and make no difference honestly.

you've got a solid hard drive so thats fine.

the only thing that matters is load times and a good hard drive means no load time.

Oh, and amount, I don't know. Enough? I didn't slather it on, but I think there was enough that I wasn't skimping both times. Slightly less than a pea?

its just your shitty cooler, thats as good as it gets.

Why do you have Daemon Tools installed if Windows 10 can open ISO ootb?

cause im a pleb also for vidya

What's a quality cooler? I thought this was fairly quality when I bought it, but maybe not.

I thought AIO's were memes

I can't believe 2600k are still worth ~200$

Well yeah, since it performs just as good as a 6700k or 7700k..

100 dollar hybrid cooler.

thats as good as air cooled gets honestly.

not even worth overclocking a 4670k with a hybrid cooler.

I don't want to make a new thread just for this so i'll just ask here. I want to throw a GTX 1080 in this rig. I know i only have a 1080p monitor, i'm also buying a new one. My question is, an user in another thread told me i'd probably get bottlenecked with this setup. What would be causing the said bottleneck?

>not even worth overclocking a 4670k with a hybrid cooler.
Did you mean with an air cooler?
I'm an idiot when it comes to this, is AIO the same as hybrid coolers? Can you recommend one?

Thanks for all the answers

AIO = hybrid cooler.

its honestly not worth buying another cooler for it.

they're all about the same price, 100 dollars for 240mm hybrid cooler of your choice.

thanks user
How easy are they to install? Was looking at building a new computer with a 7700K installed, would it be worthwhile then? I like the aesthetic of the AIO, i just thought they weren't worth the additional price
