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

Why is the 7700k missing from the OP?
Levi Morgan
because OP is either a shitposter or a shill. Such a shame that he needs to shit up one of the most helpful threads on this board.
Jaxon Morris
will reviewers get vega before release to do benchmarks?
Xavier Mitchell
Why don't you post the next thread, then? They're always made too late anyway.
Nicholas James
120mm AIO or thicc tower cooler for 1700? I am looking to OC but haven't yet because I'm using the stock cooler
Dominic Green
NH-D15 It competes with TOTL 240mm AIOs while remaining much quieter
Joshua Gomez
If I'm around when this thread reaches the bump limit I'll make the next one with the proper OP.
Robert Foster
bq dark rock 3 or a 240-360mm aio are my considerations.
Jordan King
Anons, I've finally got the money to build my first PC, but the motherboard I was gonna order went out of stock, can you recommend a roughly equal replacement for this build?
Also, some anons quite a few threads back told me to get a cheap graphics card at first and wait for the prices to lower before I buy a good one, have they lowered yet?
Is there one I could get that'd allow this build to run stuff like Arma III or Squad at at least 30 FPS without going over $900?
Is there anything else I need to get get along with this list besides a keyboard and mouse? I'm just gonna use a TV as a monitor.
how fast do you expect the limited edition vegas to be bought up?

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.

I don't care about >muh internal looks. I have windowless define R5 (thing weighs a fucking tonne) that sits on the floor. so thicc tower cooler it is. Guess I'll just have to decide on the Dark Rock 3 or the NH-D15. Is the NH-D15 worth $10 more than the Dark Rock 3? Anyways thanks lads

seems like asrock splurged with that power design. I'd go with the step down from the one you chose newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813157763 Make sure the one you want is actually sold out everywhere though (i.e. check your local stores and whatnot)

Ian Collins
it goes missing and comes back because Intel fans get butthurt. The Ryzen 7 1700 can effectively replace the 7700K. MASSIVE improvements have been made to the gaming performance of Ryzen in a matter of months and it's only going to get better from here on out. >fucking corefuckers That's not it. Whether a processor is futureproof has nothing to do with how many cores it has, but rather how many threads it has and how good the multi-thread performance is. The fact of the matter is that Ryzen can now hit over 144 FPS in most games, as newer games are becoming incredibly multi-threaded. >They said this 5 years ago with Bulldozer! Yes they did. And it happened. Go look up modern benchmarks. The FX 8350 outperforms the 2500K in most games nowadays. youtube.com/watch?v=ylvdSnEbL50
Jace Roberts
Yes. The real bottleneck is usually the CPU. For that use, R5 1600 or R7 1700 is recommended.

Any recommendations on a case/cooler? I hear the stock cooler is actually pretty decent?
I have a 970 which I was going to take from old rig, at least until I can afford something better.
Dominic Brown
Wow, an actual productive comment to my question. Thank you. I'm trying to build my first ever pc
Dominic Thomas
I have a mini build with all these parts at the moment:
I also have a PNY GTX 660 I believe so I was looking to update the card. What card could I get without having to upgrade my PSU? Also I notice with the 660 I have I can play games on my larger tower on ultra pretty fine but if I try the same on this mini build I get a few lag spikes. Is it the CPU or mobo holding me back? The larger tower I have with no lag is a bulldozer CPU with the same ram and using the same card.

piece of shit motherboard, i'm returning mine tomorrow

few other choices for matx boards
Colton Edwards
Pc part picker is only recommending me Intel cpus as compatible. Is it because my mobo? MSI z270 mobile. Want a mock that will allow me to overclock in the future but want an r7 1700
Bentley Hughes
>paying for FM2 in these days Get an AM4 B350 motherboard, and a Ryzen 5 processor. Then use you 660 until the GPU market finally stabilizes and you can properly upgrade it.
Lucas Butler
>z270 intel chipset
Jaxson Rogers
Yes. Deselect that mobo and when you go to pick a new one, use the AM4 socket filter if you want a Ryzen CPU.
Jose Davis
For an AMD CPU, you want an A320, B350, or X370 motherboard. Z270 is only compatible with Intel CPUs because of the socket.
Andrew Perry

Get fucking faster RAM for fuck fuck sake. Make it atleast 3200.
Sebastian Garcia
With the influx of gpu prices, what's a good reliable gpu? I was looking at the gtx 1080 and would buy it but wondering how much less expensive it was before. Should I wait it out? If so, what other gpu. Also, Ryzen or Intel?
Kevin Lee
Set the RAM manually you dumb fuck. It's not even hard, look online you lazy fucker.
Jonathan Perez
Just fuck off, you shat up the thread pajeet

Fuck I didn't realize I could get a mini with Ryzen. This mini is like 2 years old so That's why I went FM2 at the time.

>Paying over $4000 on useless computer parts you will never take full advantage of.
It seems nearly identical to the one I was going to buy, does the company that makes it have a good reputation? is it a piece of shit that'll randomly stop working?
I'd prefer to spend a bit extra to get something more fitting for future upgrades.
Hudson Young
This. I prefer Ryzen for multiple reasons, but i think the i7 7700 could be a better choice for some people.
Noah Powell
>being a workflowlet Pathetic. Those parts are only $2000 in the first world, by the way.

any recommandation for a cheap cpu + mobo combo

the build won't have gpu and will be mainly used for torrenting and vlc (full hd video)
Nathaniel Ross
so do you already have a GPU or do you need integrated bullshit?
Grayson Jenkins
Just but an OptiPlex tower and throw a 1030 in it
Joshua Cox
>1030 integrated graphics is fine for video i suppose
I was going to buy this card but it went out of stock, I had started wanting to get something a bit more powerful anyways, pls recommend something better for under 300$
I'm stupid and don't know how to tell how powerful different video cards are, this my first time building a computer.
Christian Jones
Spend the surplus on upgrading the RAM
Caleb Robinson
> was going to buy this card
you srs ? 1050 TI is better than RX 560 I'm not even Nvidia fag, fuck Nvidia
How much should I worry if things I order come dinged up in the mail like this because of poor packaging and mailman stuffing it in a mailbox? What's the chance of damage?
Caleb Flores
why do people like to hide their power supply?
Kayden Brown
They're really all built to the same spec. I'm sure that one will be fine and the VRM cooler means that your could do some overclocking. I've never owned a Gigabyte mainboard so I can't tell you if it's shit or not. If you really want to get something that will last forever consider a cheap X370.
Jack Jones

What is the closet you should get to your powersupply's max wattage with a build? I am about 50 away from the max on a smaller powersupply I have and the powersupply is 80+ rated.
Cameron Perry
I'm having trouble believing these temps. I'm currently compressing ~200GiB of video with 7zip using 12/16 cores and the temps are barely above idle. Is something fucked or is this normal? I'm only using the stock cooler at stock settings. HWmonitor has the temps at 26c while Aida34 has them at 30c.
Connor Gonzalez

I have an Asus X552C laptop, with a Mediatek MTE730E WiFi+Bluetooth Combo that's giving me problems since forever (before with Windows, now with Ubuntu). My machine is double boot (Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 16.04, I need both OS), so a Sup Forumsentooman at /fglt/ told me that to replace it with a linux-compatible one I should get something Atheros. So, guys, what would be the best model for it? Something that's available on Amazon (so I'm sure I can get it in Italy), is compatible with the rest and doesn't cost too much, if possible.
So, I'm building a rig, something I haven't done in a while. I have no intentions of swapping my GPU, case and display for the time being. This are the other parts I'm looking into: pcpartpicker.com/list/CKZZbj What do you think?ยด I intend to get into 3D modelling eventually, something I have been wanting to do for a while after getting to toy around with Zbrush at a friend's house. Other than that, simple webm making, gaming and random shit people do with their computers are some of the uses I intend to give to this build. My main doubt is with the motherboard and RAM combo. I also wonder what kind of PSU would be ok, hard to tell without knowing what GPU I'll end up putting on it (I'm waiting for Vega, maybe it won't be shit).
