General: ALWAYS LOOK AT PRODUCT REVIEWS! Always consider an SSD. Try buying a large SSD for what you'd pay for your SSD+HDD combined, and add a HDD later NVMe SSDs aren't for a faster OS boot, they're for productivity/scratch disk/VMs. NVMe and M.2 are not the same thing, M.2 is a form factor. The Ryzen lineup comes with surprisingly good stock coolers. consider using them over any
how do I add more ports(like 2 or 4) that go the full sata III speed(not raid)
Nicholas Harris
Nigger, I just answered your fucking question last thread. Cheap LSI or Marvell HBA card. 1 or 2 SAS ports. PCIe Gen 2.0 x8 minimum. Now fuck off cunt

do I just fucking get one of those sas cables that have four sata cables at the end and link up my drives on them and put the sas end in some pcie fucker??
Make sure you use more acronyms to make it even more confusing

i'm sorry,I dont really use Sup Forums alot nowadays.

Wew, no 7700k, so you do still try after all? I'll come back next thread as always
and so I plug that card in my comp, put the SAS cable in, and with the four dangling SATA cables on the other end. I can just hook up drives and SSDs and shit like any other drive and that's it? Those four SATA cables are my new fuckin new full-speed SATA cables that I can use for whatever i want HDD/SSD/fucking CD drive even? Any driver bullshit?(arch linux)

At worst, you can dualboot into linux.
Look up the specs, check some benchmarks/uses, and go to town.

Thinking about adding this m.newegg.com/products/N82E16816132035 To my Corsair 200r as an easy way to get another intake fan on the front and some expansion room. I'd probably change the fan. Is this a terrible idea?
Owen Wright
rate my memey shit. Idk shit about good air coolers. Is this good for a gaming/image editing setup?
Nolan Scott
Also could I downgrade to the 1700 to save some cash? Idk if the 1080 ti is bottlenecked or not
Levi Cooper
Any suggestions on a GPU or a different meme case? Plan on picking up an 850 evo for boot+ a few programs/games and another 2TB i have laying around.
Also if I go with a 1050TI should I just drop the 1600 to a 1400 so save some more bucks or is it that much better?
Suggestions on non meme ram would be nice as well, i'm open to 4x4x2 as this mobo has 4 slots as well.
I basically just want solid frames at 1080P and hitting high or above in games like Squad.
I have a mouse and keyboard already but am open to suggestions on a decent monitor as well in the $100 range.
Ryan King
i don't think any CPU released on current sockets can bottleneck a consumer GPU
Matthew Turner
Good case, I have one. You'll struggle getting that cooler anywhere other than the front panel though, I have a single radiator cooler on mine and the only place I can fit it is at the front.

Yea this is fucked up. r/AMD shilling is real I mean calling CPUs that require 3200mhz DDR4 sticks 'best value'? That's just wrong
Jose Evans
Not technically /pcbg/ but I need a good VDSL/fibre for when I get it in October. Doesn't need to be amazing wirelessly (as I have the modem in my room and connect via Ethernet) unless a wireless card will net me better connections (doubtful).
Preferably something on the cheaper side, with the most focus on speeds via wired connection but still a wireless router also

I've seen some mini-ATX with integrated CPU recently, but they usually don't come with RAM so unless you got some RAM modules lying around, maybe you could try running your NAS from a cheap Android tablet, or a Raspberry Pi if you have the time and will to configure one. Personally I wanted to try both, I got an unused tablet and an Orange Pi but I never find the time to tinker with them.
Oliver Cox
I have a 970 and want to upgrade my processor. I was looking at the i5-7500 since it's only $200, kabylake, and seems to rank well on various websites. I'm not interested in over clocking. Does this seem like a good choice?
Looks good. I'm (un)patiently waiting for my parts to arrive.

Hi. Is the geforce gtx1050 ti a good card? Also, i have a amd fx6300, should i upgrade and if so what to? Is 8 gig of ram enough? Cheers
Leo Martinez
Nice.
Nolan Carter
Yes it is a good card. Everything between 1050ti and 1080 is overpriced right now. Read sticky for proc. Yes 8gb is good. Upgrade only if you have the budget.

Hi, I'm need a PC for rendering my architecture projects. My budget is around $1k, I made a list: pcpartpicker.com/list/ps6dQV
Also, I have an option to buy used i5 2500k (3.3Ghz), Ram- 8gb, V\c r9 270 2gb, HDD - 1Tb for ~$400 Help me out, Sup Forums
Benjamin Anderson
Agreed
Ryder White
God people doing budget builds gets my dick so hard. There's no fun in being l like "Oh wow yup those are all the highest end components so it can do all the things", there's fun in being like "Oh cool, a Pentium and a 1050Ti? What games is that able to run and at what settings? How much did you pay for that? What kind of case are you keeping such a cute little machine inside?
Adrian Watson
What's the best performing CPU for single threaded applications? 2 or 4 cores would be fine more than that is pointless as 90% of the computational work done by my FEA package is sequential and therefore single threaded. It will probably be paired to a mid range Maxwel based Quadro and I'm looking to keep the buget under £750 for CPU/MB&RAM.
Jaxon Jones
The first and most immediate issue I see with buying a 2500k is unless you have a motherboard already buying a motheboard by itself is usually expensive as fuck given that it's an older CPU.
How remarkably helpful you are, you mother must be very proud of you.
Nolan Barnes
what's the best way to check a drive for bad hdd blocks in windows. I had one of my 2TB(internal) drives have a mechanical read error so I formatted it but I think I might have bumped it or something how can I make sure it's okay
Logan Rogers
Either a overclocked i3-7350K or stock 7700k would provide the best of the best single threaded performance Other than that and you're getting lower frequency locked CPU which won't perform as well. Try to search for sales for the 7350k, maybe there's some left around. You could also go for used or older hardware but it's a pain in the ass to get something good so it's up to you.

That CPU uses a different socket from your motherboard, dumbass
Aaron James
send help Sup Forums. I was planning to make a budget build with a G4560 but this one country keeps kicking my ass. It's now up to $80. Should I buy right now while some stores still sell it at $35 (I'm completing the build around 2017 Q4 when we finally move out of the city) or should I wait Ryzen 3 (Which will probably sell at around $110).
Cameron Richardson
You fucked up

this is a troll, right?
Brandon Perez
Only Intel, so AMD aren't worth looking it?
Kevin Bell
your cpu doesn't go into your mobo, not the same socket
Sebastian Wilson
Imagine you had to fix that, imagine the fate of the entire human race somehow depended on you being able to fix that socket up and make it work.
Juan Walker
protip: userbenchmark is garbage better check real-world application that you're actually going to use also >more than double multicore speed >not impressive
Carter Morgan
Are the HGST or Hitachi refurbs solid drives? Some say they're loud.
Caleb Davis
No, i Am not a troll, I just got in to pc gaming and I wanted to build a pc.. I bought them in a package (mobo and cpu) on the website it said 4560 but on the box it says 3258... it kinda made a snap noise when putting it in... i bought it of a komplett... a big tech website in Sweden
Aaron Harris
AMD doesn't have the best single core performance. They're 9% worse than intel at it.But they have the best multi-core performance for the price, so it is worth a look. The best CPU value at the moment is the AMD Ryzen 5 1600, which competes with the Intel Core i5 7600 on price despite having more cores than the i5 and 3 times as many threads. performance-wise, the R5 1600 is closer to the Intel Core i7 7700k than it is to the Core i5 line up. keep in mine that i7 is $100 more expensive than the 1600. If performance per dollar matters to you, AMD is king.
Levi Torres
HGST make the best hard drives around. Only a retard would buy refurbished storage though. Better make backups, boy.

It's currently cheaper to buy a pre-built PC, than it is to make it myself. Every GPU that hasn't been nailed down is overpriced as fuck.

Liam Davis

Juan Cook
Show picture of cpu in the mobo or you are just trolling.
Cameron Gray
Ryzen 3 are rumoured to be quad cores. If you can wait, wait for it. You might get an insane deal on R5 1400. I paired G4560 with a 8gig RX470. Can't run Hitman or BF1 without massive stutters. :( If gaymen is not your objective then get it when it's $40~. There's rumours that Intel might cut its production tho because it's shafting i3s. G4560 is a good CPU for emulators.
