guessing this guy has been mining and is selling stuff back to get back on some of the initital costs
no cpu, no gpu, im also guessing these get fucked the most by mining so it might be fine
the ram alone is almost incentive enough to buy this
am i a retard or should i buy it
Angel Hughes
if you can find one with remaining warranty i'd say go for it
Michael Morales
Do you think there will be any black friday deals on a 1060 6gb?
Colton Reed
Newegg has one for $239.99 in their ad.
Camden Bennett
>>A8 9600
Oliver Morgan
remember when you could buy 8gb of ddr3 ram for $35
now it's like $100 for 8gb of ddr4 wtf
Hudson Myers
Is there any indication of when the new Coffee Lake processors are going to be real instead of paper?
Ethan Rodriguez
Where do you see that? It's probably worth noting that I live in Canada. They're around $385 here

How to obtain this kind of adapter? I need to fix a standard ATX PSU on an proprietary HP wokstation case. I can't, the screw holes are different!
See, this questions seems stupid, but isn't. I don't live in USA. I don't know if I CAN obtain one. I tried online and physical shops of my country, and could get none.

>A8 9600 for non-gaming (light tasks) or bare minimum gaming builds with a dedicated graphics card Don't be this retarded. This is truly literal stupidity, not the "stupid" that gets thrown around lightly as an insult Any Athlons or A series APUs are still a no buy at this point.
Carson Sullivan
>R3 1200 - Budget builds (best with OC + fast RAM) How exactly does fast RAM fit into a budget build? The prices are fucked
Tyler Bennett
Can't you just drill a small sheet of stainless steel?
if I want to have 32GB of ram is two 16GB kits from my mobo's QVL okay?
Benjamin Barnes
1060 3GB is not really worth buying. 3GB of vram is really not good and borderline obsolete. Save some money and get a 1050 Ti or pay a little more for a 6GB 1060
Benjamin Sanders
>A8 9600 for non-gaming NOOOOO DELETE THIS
Ian Wilson
do it desu
Leo Sanchez
Was recommended getting a silverstone branded PSU for my build by a few friends. Are these PSU's any good?
Brody Morales
you can get some of them on b&h within the week honestly shouldn't be too hard to get them if you set up alerts for amazon, newegg, b&h etc
Asher Butler
>not getting Seasonic, Superflower, EVGA
Liam Butler
they're pretty decent, but nothing too amazing
Joshua King
As long as they're not pure crap then I'll be ok with them. I'm on a pretty tight budget and considering I'm basing this build off a second hand motherboard and CPU I ideally don't want to go over the top with spending on certain parts.
Michael Cruz
yeah they're not the best, but it's hard to find something better for the same price and they are good enough
Liam Green
Sounds perfect for my needs then! Thanks user!
Hunter James
The brand doesn't matter, only the fucking OEM. Who originally made the PSU you are looking at? If you can't find that out, then it's automatically shit and you should just get something from seasonic.
Logan Parker
a good resource for PSUs is jonnyguru's reviews
Dylan Williams
What's the best used parts bang-buck for 1080p 144hz gaming? I'm thinking Used 3770k or MAYBE a 4690k if I can find one under $200, and some sort of 980ti.
Henry Campbell
Just sent Asus a firm email enquiring about the release date of custom VEGAs. Surely they will give me a solid date now
Ian Rogers
Obviously you're buying used, so questionable warranty. Ebay/paypal will refund you if you get something that's DOA and the owner refuses to work with you. The 980Ti should definitely be cheaper than the 1070
Not for gaming. Maybe if you're doing some kind of VM or server type work.. that's all you'd need 32Gb of RAM for
>too much of a brainlet to understand the the G4560 has an uprgrade path >enough of a brainlet to recommend a Bristol Ridge APU (A8 9600 to you, brainlet)

Ethan Adams
this card is shit right
it's a 6GB model at a reasonable price $220, but its one of those mini-cards
Cooper Sanchez
i regularly use VMs or a lot of ram in general because im a cs-fag
would it be a viable gayman computer+vmbox with an i7 6800k and like an rx56 or something when the aftermarket coolers come and prices go down?
Aiden Hall
hmmm yes mmm
Andrew Perez
>Broadwell-e just get ryzen instead of eol discontinued shit
Oliver Cruz
Last time we were told early October and see where we are.
Xavier Baker
What's with all the beef against people buying second hand motherboards?
Henry Ward
why does mini make it shit?
Ryan Walker
Just because it's the mini design doesn't mean it's shit.
I got a 960 from gigabyte and it was the mini design, shit can even handle overclocking while keeping temps similarly to the reference models which were bigger although I only overclocked it to test since the maximum I do of gayman is some civilization or checking my old friends on a shitty mmo.
thats not relevant to my questions, im not thinking of buying a ryzen, im thinking of buying older but still more relevant hardware than the i5 2500k im sitting on right now
Andrew Richardson
whats the point, amd already builds up the vrms on their references to a ridiculous degree, just get vega and some aftermarket cooling from arctic or something instead of waitfagging like some dumb coffee lake nigger
Jeremiah Butler
why bother, ryzen is cheaper even when its new then overpriced broadwell shit on its dead platform
Alexander Cox
Ryzen 5 is auctioning way above the asking price of 4690k's, and I'll end up having to fork out premium for ddr4. Hawaii is good to look for, but I hope I don't get burned on a miner's card.
Luis Hall
Are there any unique watercooling cases released lately?
My mobo took a shit and now I have to rebuild. Also the shitty ek cpu block started flaking so I have to more less start from the ground up. I don't want to keep the pic related case anymore because to be honest I only bought it because it supported a special snowflake 4x120mm square radiator (and the fact that it's super tiny for an eatx build) but the rest of the case is cheap shit considering it only costs $70.
All the cases I've looked at are so.... pedestrian. I mean I'm not saying I want a ebin specshul case but I want to actually have fun building it and I can't do that with a generic layout.
Easton Powell
>720 dollarydoos
Lad that's a GTX 1080Ti in the first world
David Harris
1080 ti here in Aus is ~$1150
Jose Evans
1080 ti in huestan is 1117 dollars in the cheapest store.
Ryan Reed
the cheapest mobo, cpu and ram i could find for a ryzen setup would set me back 538 dollars
thats a 1600, asus b350 and 16gigs of ram
Hunter Peterson
yeah but that's because of your insane taxes. Here we don't even have a legitimate reason for the price, its just retailers shafting us for profit.
Mason Taylor
>Floating-point performance -12,665 GFLOPS >Memory bus - 2,048 bit >Texture rate - 395.8 GTexel/s >More shading units - 4,096 >Texture mapping units - 256 Why does VEGA 64 perform so badly when on paper its significantly better than the 1080 ti?
Jaxon Flores
Time to glass those cunts m8.
>tfw been thinking of upgrading my machine to a threadripper but just the cpu, mobo and ram will cost me around 5k dollars.
Working in the tech field in brazil is pure suffering, should have done like my dad and become a geologist instead.
Cooper Harris
Couldn't you literally fly to the US, buy the parts, fly back and save money? In some cases I could do that Aus - HK
Oliver Taylor
ripjaws vs trident z? timings/speed are the same
Jacob Jackson
Airplane ticket would be around 900 dollars to 1.6k depending on which state you would go in the US and then I would have to pay import taxes on all the parts anyways because their current allowance is 500 dollars in products that you can bring without being taxed.
In short it's easier to literally buy everything here and pay the stupid prices or try to buy from some guy who managed to get it from some country close to us like chile or argentina and dodged the IRS gov fellas.
Carter Jenkins
I think the trident z was made specifically for good Ryzen compatibility so I'd base my decision on whichever CPU is in the system.
David Morris
okay, thanks both sets are on the QVL but I might go with the trident Z because it looks less retarded
Aiden Rivera
Fuck mate that's grim. Its currently $1000 threshold here but I guarantee its going to drop again in the next couple years. When Amazon fully sets up shop our retailers will be clawing at the government for "protectionist" policies that will only remove options for consumers here.
Kayden Roberts
That's the Flare X you're thinking of, but the CL14 Trident Z is great for Ryzen too.
Jayden Green
Oh yeah that might be it
Dominic Thompson
if you're talking about the 3200MHz rams I think you're talking about, you're seriously going to pay $20 more because it looks 'less retarded'?
Carter Morales
>our retailers will be clawing at the government for "protectionist" policies that will only remove options for consumers here.
This is pretty much how we got this bad, user. Decades of the same big 3 retail stores crying about muh international competition destroying the local market. Never let commies and sellouts get in power else you guys are fucked like us.
Nolan Evans
I don't know about your average retard on the street but at least here most people I've spoken to about it have called bullshit. Everyone knows Harvey Norman got as big as it is now by crushing and price gouging local retailers in the 20th century - now they're whining that the same thing is going to happen to them.
Isaac Carter
no, not really but I am going to have to check to see how tall they are to see if they fit under the cooler I'm planning on getting
Anyone mind taking a look at my build? First one I've done in a few years, tried to keep it as close to $1000 as possible. This would be a simple gaming/streaming rig.
Ryan Thomas
Guess it will depend on how strong their lobbying for a protectionist policy will be then. Anyways if amazon sets shop out there you guys will be saved from this faggotry so there's at least hope out there.
Isaiah Hernandez
Kinda, not really. OP has been updated a lot recently, obviously in the timeframe since the release of Coffee Lake
Prices aren't really that different between 2133 and 3000MHz
Dumb advice.. the 3GB 1060 is just fine. Having 4GB of RAM certainly does not mean the 1050Ti is as close to as powerful as the 3GB 1060. You adjust texture settings to fit your card if need be.
Ah, it's like a memorial to me.
Two of my posts, from such different times (check the post number), got included in the screencap? I must really get to you
Personally I'd say the R5 1400 is a better alternative to the i7 3770K if you're buying RAM too.
If you're streaming I would consider the R5 1600. I haven't done enough research on that to tell you which is better
worth holding off upgrades until black friday? Are there online sales on black friday or is that cyber monday? I wanted to pick up an SSD, some speakers and headphones
Austin Gutierrez
In every single way unless you give us a budget you mong
Alexander Bennett
Yes, especially for headphones. You might get lucky and find some deals for SSDs too.
Noah Cruz
>tfw recently impulse bought $500 headphones I was a fool but I still really like them
switch ssd for a samsung 850 evo switch GPU for a dual fan unless you want to roleplay as an airplane pilot switch your case for the blue led version, red LEDs only increase the speed of overclockable CPUs, whereas blue LEDs will cool down all systems
no but it does something, and every bit helps plus team delta ram isn't exactly top of the line
Christian Sullivan
Yes it does. The advantage with Ryzen is bigger, up to 30%.
Jonathan Price
Did I make a mistake by buying a EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING, ACX 2.0 (Single Fan) instead of the double?
Josiah Myers
yes, enjoy your house fire
Blake Flores
Should I cancel it for the double fan? They didn't take the money out yet.
Dylan Clark
First time builder. Should I get i5 8600k and a gtx 1070 or a i7 8700k and a gtx 1060. Going to be gaemen and mild content cretio n / videos
