If you want help: >State the budget & currency for your build >List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work >For monitors, try to include information like response time, refresh rate, resolution, and size
CPUs: Intel still uses shitty TIM on its new CPU if you are overclocking consider delidding. Only Z370 boards are available right now so non-k 8th gen cpus are rather expensive to build with right now. >Athlon X4 950: The only viable poverty-tier chip right now, it's usable for low-tier 1080p gaymen with like a 1050Ti, and basic functionality. >i3 8100/R3 1200 - Good budget CPUs. >R5 1600 /i5 8400 - The sweet spot for gaming or multithreaded use CPUs >R7 1700 - Best value for multithread performance right now. 1700X and 1800X are a waste of money if you're not afraid of overclocking. >Used Xeon/Threadripper: Workstation-tier CPUs, don't go for the i9 because they only beat TR when you get to the 7940X and above, and really need delidding. Cards:
Graphics cards (particularly Radeon) are still priced high because they were eaten up by miners a while back. >GT1030/RX550: Poverty-tier, medium-high 1080p. >1050Ti: Good budget GPU for 1080p. >Used 980Ti/1070/1060 6GB: For entry level 1440p/low settings 4K, these are the cards to go for. 1070's still pretty damn expensive, so a used 980Ti would ultimately be the better choice. >Vega 56/1070Ti: The best for 1440p 144hz, Vega 56 with a flashed BIOS and OCd beats the 1070Ti and Vega 64 >1080Ti: Ultra 3440x1440 gaming at over 100fps, the only 4K card.
If that pic makes me horny does that mean I'm gay?
James Flores
i7-7700k is still a great choice since the Coffee Lake CPUs are impossible to find and inflated with price.
Luke Sullivan
hello user you are on Sup Forums people here think that traps are good because someone memed them into programming virtual reality will end up in t2o neckbeards making up or gaylords pretending that they suck cook in public so yes you are gay
think about it like begin in ZONE when you are there you are a STALKER if you spend too much time there it will sick yo you so just don't spend too much time there
my budget workstation bulid help me finding a GPU i need one that will support most drivers but won't be too powerful (cause i am not playing AAA games) pcpartpicker.com/list/ZHgZ6X
but why 3 display port? can any gpu handle 3 144hz monitors?
Leo Gomez
what's with ddr4 prices? when will it stabilized?
Robert Phillips
Depends on the application I supposed.
Daniel Nelson
I am close to pulling the trigger on a Vega 64 since prices are MSRP now, but looking for some thoughts from those who have one.
>Freesync 4k >Game at 4k (no, not everything has to be ultra + 16xAA)
I am debating over the liquid for an extra $200 trump bux. GPU user bench suggests I get +7% boost for $200. At 4k, the extra frames would be beneficial although freesync is there to help out.
I prefer cooler temps over higher and less sound over more. I am also wondering to what extent will undervolting the liquid give me any other gains that the air 64 could not offer.
Thanks :)

Is it possable to build a ryzen system running win 8.1? Also how bad is the snooping on the LTSB version of 10?
What is the best possable setup to run mainstream AAA games day one and still have privacy useing a modern system/OS.
Jonathan Richardson
Right now I've a rig with a i7 7700 and a RX 470, pretty alright to play at 1080.
What would be a great upgrade? GTX 1060? Wait for the next nvidia gen?
Jordan Rodriguez
If you're going with 8 you might as well go 10.
>What is the best possable setup to run mainstream AAA games day one and still have privacy useing a modern system/OS. Linux + IOMMU setup to run Windows in a vbox with GPU passthrough
Jayden Lewis
Wait for next gen, then move to something that can reliably do 1440 if you can afford it.
>Linux + IOMMU setup to run Windows in a vbox with GPU passthrough
Thoughts what I thought. what is the % of native performance lost doing this? is it just the CPU performace you lose out on?
>If you're going with 8 you might as well go 10. Is 8 that bad then? I thought it could have it's temetry removed? the only reason I mention 8 was because it's support is going to last longer but i'm happy to use 7 as well.
Nathan Hernandez
Don't buy that CPU or that mobo
Zachary Morales
For performance penalties, see the reddit link. Unfortunately you'll need a second GPU for linux to use (either Intel's integrated or a burner card).
The passthrough GPU is dedicated to the VM while configured properly and the only way to reclaim it for linux use is to reboot with it not configured for passthrough.
If you're going to botnet it up in a VM I wouldn't really care since Windows won't be your daily driver. Hell, you could use multiple Windows if you want.
Ryan Hughes
Anyone use ULMB? When is it appropriate over G Sync?
Andrew Morris
Good god that's a lot of shit I don't fully understand. Is this even viabale to do for someone who has never used Linux? will this get easier in the future?
Nicholas Nelson
Vega shit
Liam Martinez
suggestions pls theres too much potential 'do not buy' things out there
Adam Barnes
U mean like excel spreedsheet office work? Yes, its good
Charles Foster
$200 for a liquid cooler? WTF
Mason Jenkins
8400 is you can find one, otherwise ryzen 1600 or coffeelake i3s like the 8350k
Nicholas Davis
If you're good at following instructions, yes. Friend of mine recently ditched windows as his daily, first time on linux went straight to Arch and got passthrough working. You can also always ask questions if you have trouble. However, I don't think it's unique to Arch. I've seen a Ryzen+Fedora setup on youtube. Quick googling shows that Ubuntu (the babby's first linux) can also get it working fine. I don't have much knowledge on it other than the surface level, so my help ends there. If you want to commit to it, it'll be 99% research and 1% following the instructions/what you're told.
And I'm not a fortune teller.

msrp is 500 and msrp liquid is 700
Jaxon Jones
What socket type should i be going for? LGA2011-3?
Carson Foster
Ahahaha. Why? It's like a $50 premium at most on Nvidia cards.
Nathan Jackson
ok ill get the 8350 i3 that looks good to my amateur eyes. also what mobo would you recommend for that?
checkd Need a cooler and have no idea what to pick and wondering what i can shave to put down costs the only thing i want is that 1080 Ill also need good cooling coz i live in australia Are the parts i picked even good?
Juan Miller
Nvidia is a cuck?
Sebastian Morales
I'm a complete brainlet for motherboards. I want ryzen 1600, so I should get a AM4 And I only care about 2 ram slots, so it should be micro ATX But what else should I be looking for?
There are a few mATX with 4 slots if you really care.
Chase Cook
We don't do multi-monitor anymore. We have one big one.
Jose Allen
White or black?
Matthew Brooks
I'm from Mexico. What are some good sites to buy parts from besides Amazon and Newegg?
Anthony Stewart
Black
interesting. what are the advantages of one big monitor? I've seen pictures of the ultrawides.
Asher Campbell
fuck outta here
Josiah Myers
No bezels of course.

idk if this is correct to ask in /pcbg/ but its hardware related so...
I have a Samson c03u condenser mic, which it doesn't have power off/on button. Is it correct to use an external usb switch or it will destroy my mic?
Adam Hernandez
The fx 6300 is fucking terrible and the athelon is worse. Thats the point
Isaac Gray
Anyone have some recommendations on good external hard drives? Seagate's got some high ratings but I remember them having pretty high failure rates as well.
Still on the pricey side not planning to buy until January though so hopefully stuff will drop
Andrew Hill
Oh and what flavour pop tart for a new buyer
Isaiah Morris
I am gonna be using this second hand Sandy Bridge build until Ryzen+ releases and maybe then I will upgrade. For now I decided to OC the hell out of it, but...
I got it stable at 4,5GHz 1,345V then at 4,6GHz 1,370V now I am running Prime95 at 4,7GHz 1,400V
Cooling it easily with an NH-D15 but I guess I have lost the silicon lottery, right? According to various sites, vcores should be way lower for these clocks. Or am I missing some important bit?
here this build is far better than yours and like $100 cheaper
Aaron Carter
the i9 is shit and you seem a little brazillian thinking otherwise
Isaac Rogers
much difference between AMD and Intel? i was told dont bother going AMD for just gaming unless youre gonna be overclocking and something about linux crap
Joshua Rogers
kek

Not a 7980XE
Not a 798XE and holy cherry pick
Joseph Garcia
What's a good option for the Raspberry Pi 3 for cooling/case?
