Anyone have a motherboard recommendation or just changes to make? I want to keep this below $1300 CAD, and don't need a case, keyboard, mouse, fans, or monitor. It's my first desktop build after using laptops for a decade
Make a new post. Do it over again. And right this time.
Andrew Butler
If/when the mining bubble bursts, would there be any reason to buy one of those poor cards that toiled in the mines?
Wouldn't mind a super cheap rx580 as backup to my 1060.
Carter Gonzalez
My miners falls to like 40c at night. I bet that's cooler than your idle temps.
Colton Barnes
Need new graphics card for occasional gaming with a 2560x1080 60Hz monitor. I want to get at least 3 years of life out of it. 1060-6Gb the best option?
Luke James
Wait for Vega :^)
Tyler Long
If I would by parts by interval, should I buy case first and gpu/cpu/mobos last?
You might need to replace the fans but there should be no issue with the chip itself since they run it at temperatures lower than normal people.
Benjamin Rodriguez
I'm planning on buying an ASRock X370 Taichi motherboard and Samsung 960 Evo M.2 SSD (item no. MZ-V6E500BW). On ASRock's website where it shows a list of the motherboard's supported storage modules, it shows that MZ-V6E250 is supported. Does this mean it can support the 500GB version as well?
Kevin Evans
But why, the R5-1600X and R7-1700X both beat the i7-7700k now in game performance thanks to the latest updates + pairing with good RAM.
No reason for it to be up there anymore.
Xavier Roberts
Remember to buy used, got a 980ti hybrid for $330.
Colton Hernandez
Source?
Jose Gonzalez
is it better than the 1070 at this point?
Andrew Green
Currency conversion alone puts the price higher. I'm Canadian, so that $539 isn't as bad as $539 US
Thanks for the motherboard info though
Henry Ortiz
Slightly
Cooper Richardson
pcpartpicker.com/list/s9PfLD I'm not buying AMD shit. I'm gonna be gayming and video editing. Yes, I have a delid kit.
Jacob Allen
Seems like you should just be able to install the driver and everything should be fine.
I personally have no experience with them though.
Brandon Green
Yes. The supported hardware list is just a marketing gimmic and manufacturers have to pay to get their products on it. Samsung didnt bother to get all versions of their SSDs approved.
The ASUS webpage has a win10 driver in their downloads section even though it doesnt officially support that OS.
Slightly better, yes. But Nvidia no longer officially supports 980 so 1070 might overtake it in future due to better drivers.
Ian Collins
What a shitty build. You have more money than sense. Enjoy your new furnace.
Josiah Jenkins
Great build, It will keep you warm during winter, you can cook and do some blacksmithing in the summer.
Ian Gomez
EBYC comment pro xD
Jace Ross
>i7 instead of i9 Trash.
Zachary Bailey
i'm not paying 500 dollars+ for a gpu, do an R5 1600 and 1050Ti have any issues with each other?
Easton Jackson
Shitposting is not allowed.
Benjamin Powell
Many thank my fellow poster. I strive to bring the highest quality comments to this imageboard. You can also do your part to cultivate this healthy environment by familiarizing yourself with the countless memes at your disposal.
Adrian Sanders
Bottleneck, get a R5 1400
Blake Price
I hope all the miners who jacked up the prices of all the GPUs die of cancer, and their girlfriends raped.
Noah Torres
1600 is overkill for such a puny GPU.
Lincoln Taylor
Not him, but isn't it probably a good idea to have a powerful CPU so it allows for a better GPU later, so that the CPU itself doesn't become the bottleneck?
Camden Martinez
Yes it is
Adam Lee
1600 isn't that much more than the 1400 though, only ~$50
maybe i'll go with the 1050Ti and pick up a mid-range gpu in a couple of years
that's what i was thinking
Liam Campbell
Well, that seems like a sound plan in my opinion. A powerful CPU is a wise investment.
Andrew Lee
Pretty much my plan. Picked up a 760 for $50 while I wait for Vega.
Joshua Martinez
What should I look out for when buying used GPUs? I found two craiglist ads of the GT 980 Ti EVGA Classified for $300 and $360.
Nathan Scott
false
60fps is shit get out console user
Justin Taylor
I need a video card pci express x16 for under 500 dollars. i wanna run pretty modern games at decent settings. any suggestions?
Julian Bailey
redpill me on x370 boards is ASUS prime the best value here or is there some other sweetspot I'm not seeing?
Jose Wright
best cheap 144hz monitor? ASUS VG248QE?
Ayden Thomas
Upgrading my old cpu with motherboard, want to buy Ryzen 1600, but will it bottleneck my gtx660?
Ayden Young
Don't fall for 144hz meme, if you want to get 144hz monitor then your going to need a 1080ti.
Kayden White
>but will it bottleneck my gtx660? A 1600 bottleneck a GTX 660? No, the other way around. I'd recommend you keep it until gpu prices come down unless you're impatient and/or money isn't an issue
Joseph Murphy
Found the miner that abosulutely wrecked his cards at 80c+ all day every day fucking the vrms and everything else in the process
Austin Edwards
Oops, my bad. So will they be fine together?
Adam Martin
>dont fall for the smooth motion meme
gtfo console shill, 120hz+ or get the fuck out.
Juan Morgan
Sure, the CPU will just not run at it's full potential
Bentley Anderson
All you need is a game being able to run in 144fps, and people mostly pick 144hz for games like CSGO and Overwatch
I'll be using it for 1080p gaming, AutoCAD and Revit modelling.
Lucas Murphy
144hz is nice for everything, even scrolling up and down on webpages.
Leo Mitchell
i plan on playing on medium settings, fps >>> graphics desu
Isaac Allen
Go with amd and with the money you saved by going with amd, get a 2x8gb kit right away. Higher frequency ram will also help with performance. Also 650w is more then you need unless you plan on upgrading/sli.
Camden Williams
I need upgrade for running new games and 3d modelling, but my budget is around 400$. I definitely have to swap my lga775 socket
Jose Murphy
>3d modeling
Well then, itll wreck even a 7700k, so go with that.
Charles Gray
is it worth it to pay hundreds of dollars more for the upgrade from gtx1060 to 1070 or 1070 to 1080
Adam Sanders
...
Jason Martinez
Are Gigabyte GPUs decent? I mean for quietness, cooling, performance, longevity, etc. I know they look like shit.
Jackson Harris
>1060
Carter Baker
Brother got a 1070 on special, seems to work fine and stay cool. Said he had a few graphical glitchs at first 4 months ago but it's been fine since
Dominic Moore
>gigabyte
Carson Richardson
>Nvidia
Bentley Carter
I have old PC with 700w psu, gtx 660 and old motherboard with lga775 socket. I definitely want buy new motherboard, with new cpu and new ddr4 ram. Goal is 3d modelling and running new games as good as possible with streaming. Budget around 400$. Wanted to go with ryzen 1600, but I'm afraid about bottlenecking
Levi Lee
Any ideas what to do from here guys
>Build new PC >It crashes when playing games and furmark >Send it to a repair shop >They update the motherboard bios and it no longer crashes under furmark >Continues to crash under games after 60-90 minutes >Switch out every piece of hardware except the case >Problem persists >Discover Darksiders will crash it within 30 seconds of the game starting
Where the fuck do I go from here? I feel like I'm cursed as absolutely nothing makes sense and I don't know who the fuck I can ask for help.
Cooper Price
My ASUS board killed itself because they're shit at regulating voltage. I'm luck it didn't take the graphics card and cpu with it.
Isaac Roberts
What case should I get for a £1k build?
Joseph Rodriguez
you probably have shitty powerlines on your house
Oliver Wood
Sup Darksider dude. Still haven't figured out the issue? Did you call the exorcist like I told you too the last time?
If every piece of hardware has been changed and I assume wiped as well with a fresh install OS. It might be an issue with dirty power and your wall socket/surge protector.
David Morales
I just bought a ryzen 1600. now How do I install the anti NSA spyware?
Owen Butler
How would I solve that? I tried a different extension cord.
I'm wondering if a 650 PSU is the problem. Is it enough to run a Ryzen build or would I need something stronger?
An exorcist would be nice right now. I swear someone has a voodoo doll fucking with me with how bad my luck is.
Aaron Roberts
I'd prefer to go AMD, but there are quite literally 0 RX 570/580s in stock in my country, at least for anywhere near the price of a 1060.
Joseph Gomez
Wait for Vega :^)
Ethan Lopez
ETHEREUM CRASHING AHAHAHAH GET FUCKED CRYPTOFAGGOTS
Isaac Ross
UPS would tell you, if it does not crash asap with that
650w is overkill for anything not SLi/Crossfire if its not a shit brand.
Jonathan Nguyen
Try a different wall socket? Do you have friends? Maybe bring your PC over to their house and try it. Or just try another PC at your house.
Yes a 650 PSU should be more than enough for any single GPU build although the recommended PSU for a 290x is 750.
Jace Green
>brand x is shit for x reason Does anyone have sources around here or is it just constant shill v shill?
Alexander Davis
Oh shit, does this still mean some schmuck will buy my RX 470 for $100 more than I bought it for?
Landon Martin
So 2018?
Brandon Butler
Welcome to the watchlist. There's no getting off this ride.
Chase James
SOP
Jonathan Williams
UPS?
I've run 4 different PCs off this socket. It seems unlikely it would be the socket.
It's a ASUS prime 250B mother board.
Luke Brooks
Uninterruptable Power Supply
Basicly a big battery that has reliable, smooth power.
Parker Martin
You have 4 different PCs and this is the only one with this issue?
James Evans
What are you referring to?
Jaxson King
I've run 4 different ones over the years. This is the only one with this issue yes.
Nathan Martin
When you said you've switched out every piece of hardware, I'm assuming you switched out the PSU as well? I had a similar issue happen to me, turned out to be the 750w cheapo corsair PSU I was using.
Dominic Smith
Is /biz/ literally just people panicking or trying to get other people to panic? Fucking cryptoniggers.
Levi Bell
yes
Thomas Foster
I bought a new PSU for this machine that was 600w and recommended on parts picker. I switched it out for a 650w one from my old machine and still had the problem.
Jonathan Baker
You did change the PSU out right? I literally have no solutions that I didn't already offer the last time. Sorry bro.
Gabriel James
Yea I changed it out. Only the case is original at this point and tomorrow I'm going to take everything out of the case and see if it does it then.
Thanks for trying to help. I've been at this for several months now. Starting to regret not buying a prebuilt machine
Jack Rivera
Can you run furmark and a CPU stress test at the same time?
Oliver Thomas
I've not tried that, I can do so in a bit. I believe Heaven tests both CPU and GPU and I've run that a few times.
Do you have the number for that exorcist please? My loyal mp3 player's on/off button just died on me. Fucking curses man.
Isaiah Peterson
Trying to OC a Ryzen CPU to 4ghz is like trying to get a 4.0 GPA
Jackson Campbell
just oc it to 3.95 instead itll probably take way less voltage
