How's Gigabytes cooling?Got a choice between a asus 1070 for 470 gigabyte 1070 ti 510 and a msi 1080 ti for 800 euros

I need to choose between these three mobos: Asrock B350 Gaming K4 Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 MSI B350 Tomahawk (not Arctic)
Which one out of those is the best?
Levi Young
Bout to pull the trigger on the MSI Gaming 1080 from Newegg for 510 bucks.
Convince me not to fuccbois
Christopher Evans
Do Cyber Monday sales start right as the clock hits 00:00 or do I have to wait until the morning?
Levi Peterson
where are the gpu sales i need a 1060 or something similar
Ryder Morgan
MSI has the best VRM, but a shit tier BIOS with no voltage offset or p-state overclocking. Gigabyte VRM is the worst of the three. ASCock strikes a decent balance.
Angel Mitchell
1TB Samsung SSD SATA3 46% off so about 288$. Buy it or what.
Brayden Garcia
Newegg already started theirs
Dominic Garcia
>ASRock AB350 Pro4 AM4 AMD Promontory B350 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard I can get a decent price on this, is it a good buy to go with ryzen 5 1600 and 1060 6GB? Does it have decent RAM support?
Thomas Turner
So should I go with the Asrock then?
Luke Rivera
Depends on if you're gonna overclock it hard
Jack Smith
I'm going with a R5 1600. I only plan to do some light OC (3.7 or 3.8 GHz) since I'll be on stock cooling. Heard the Wraith is decent enough for those clock speeds.
Liam Ortiz
pls respond
Dylan Wilson
What resolution are you playing at...
Alexander Watson
Anyone here into emulators?
Think I'd be able to run BOTW with a 1600 (stock clock), 1060 6GB, 16 GB RAM @ 3000 MHz at a decent framerate (25-30 fps)?
No point in buying a 1080ti if you're gonna play at 1080p...might as well just buy a 1060.
As for the coolers, just google it
Noah Rivera
the only cooling you should be concerned with is VRM cooling. unless you are buying evga you shouldnt be worried. everything is very similar
buy whatever is cheapest
James Hill
>tfw canadian
Benjamin Rodriguez
I'll buy all your parts at US prices and ship them to you for the low price of $300
Jose Cook
>unless you are buying evga you shouldnt be worried
The FTW3 objectively has the best VRM cooling of any 1080 Ti.
Wyatt Smith
tfw bought my first part and the build is officially under way!
Gabriel Gonzalez
Is the 8400 the best bang for buck for gatman?
Hudson Ward
Should I really not buy an i7-7700k or is that just memes?
Anthony Price
Maybe at MSRP but right now it's selling for about $60 above that
If you have to buy right now, r5 1600 is objectively the better deal. If you can wait until 8400 is at MSRP then it's a whole different story
Jason Johnson
Is r7 1700 + 1060 6gb okay?
Owen Reyes
wtf is msrp
Nathaniel Garcia
Manufacturer's suggested retail price
Dominic Morgan
Hey cucks what is a good cooler? 1151 socket
Hudson Price
Liquid nitrogen.
Joseph Garcia
>Vega 56 LMAO
Jackson Hill
8600k + 1070 decent for 1080 gaymen?
Nolan White

Jose Nguyen
And yet you'd still have a much better experience with it and a FreeSync monitor, versus one of those cards and no adaptive sync. Which is what the OP says. Try reading the words, brainlet.
Carter Diaz
more than enough
Aiden Flores
Does anyone know if this monitor is any good. Looks decent for the price but I can't find a single review for this model
That said, Cemu benefits more from higher clock speeds, so you should definitely overclock if you want better framerates, although the dude in the video is running it at 3.6ghz and it seems fine.
Sebastian Martinez
The Palit Super Jetstream is £649.99 at OcUK, has a much better cooler and comes with a free copy of Destiny 2.
on the other hand it depends on your monitor as to whether the TI is overkill
Cameron Myers
Because it's shit that requires the ocean to cool and is louder than blacks when KFC is out of chicken.
Jason Campbell
You'd want to overclock. I have my 1600 at 4GHz and BotW runs pretty well. A solid 30fps out in the field and in shrines. You won't get a locked 30fps in towns though.
Zachary Ramirez
It has nothing to do with that. AMD partners are used to dealing with cards with housefire TDPs. The problem is GPU supply. Some partners have even complained about it anonymously.
Brayden Baker
>mfw you realize the most fun part about a new computer is researching what parts to get and waiting it for come, so you keep delaying the order
Brody Foster
For me the most fun part is building it.
Zachary Phillips
That's what I did earlier this year, and then the bitcoin mining craze started.
I only just this week ordered the video card that goes with the build I designed at that time.
Mason Evans
and they're still expensive, fugg
Thomas Rogers
Its Auspost so I need not worry. It'll probably arrive in July next year
Jordan James

Caleb Price
Is that $40 WD 1TB HDD that everyone buys still the go to HDD or is there a better alternative?
Nolan Cooper
Thanks that is a much better deal. I just want to get a 1080ti by the end of cyber monday since I'm paranoid cryptominers will fuck the price as they need better and better cards... not sure if the top 1080ti cards are worth the 150-200$ more
Nicholas White
Is there a hidden gem of 1440p 144hz IPS gsync monitors?
Connor Adams
The prices are erratic right now. They go up and down from day to day. This card was $265 a few days ago, which is about what you'd actually want to pay for it.
You just gotta keep a constant eye on them and get them when the price is reasonable.
Ayden White
Thoughts on Seagate ST4000DM004? Got it for 100 bucks (including tax).
Jaxon Bailey
Yo what the fuck, this costs about as much as other brackets on the market but comes with a bunch of cables and screws and even a screwdriver.
Is this a normal price, or am I going to get utter chinkshit? I don't strictly need to use the SATA cables because I have a fuckton of spares, and the bracket is just a hunk of metal, but the power cables would make fitting things easier.
Leo Carter
is it worth it to go from a HD 6670 to a gt 1030? will I get a noticeable performance increase on 720p?
Isaiah Wright
How is this build compared to a Ryzen 1800x build? Also, would you make any changes?
>relative performance that's probably like 2 frames difference. get your jew charts out of here
Brody Cook
Just get a 1050 at that point.
Landon Brooks
Anything you guys would change? How is this compared to a similar Ryzen 1800x build?
Jack Garcia
It would really help if you said what resolution you're aiming for and if you're emulating.
Tyler Smith
If you can deal with non IPS, you can get the Dell S2716DG for like $380 right now which is a great gaming monitor at half the price.
Otherwise, chinkshit or pay out the ass for the ASUS or predator
Benjamin Turner
What would be the ideal gfx card upgrade from a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 960 2G, ZT-90301-10M? I think it's dying on me cause games are not running nearly as well as they should be and everything else seems fine. I was looking at 1080ti models but it seems like a waste considering the monitor im getting (1080p 144Hz monitor). My current case is a NZXT - Source 530 ATX, so nothing too large pls. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
Tyler Myers
>if you're emulating
You mean if he's using Cemu. There's literally no difference in any other emulator.
Aaron Flores
I have a 1080p 144hz monitor, but I am going to get a 1440p soon.
Angel Bennett
Also I am using VMware.
Gavin Rogers
almost twice the price of a 1030 where I live, can't pay for it soon enough is the price difference worth it though? what about a RX 460/560 if I can find for a similar price of a 1050?
>Budget Can add a few hundred more >Uses Triple monitor gaming, VR, entry level 3D modeling, racing with wheel+pedal >Monitors They're cheap, curved, freesync, with good color, 75hz, mounted they're almost seamless 6ft 5760 x 1080. >Worries I hope 580 is strong enough to handle this. Could buy a second 580 after two months to offset imbalances.
Benjamin Hughes
PSU is overkill for a single card, can save some money there
Don't really need a 1080ti for 1440p, the 1080 is great for it, but it's still obviously a great card just at a price premium of course
Angel Green
If you're running lots of VMs, that's a scenario where extra cores are better than muh 5GHz.
Chase Kelly
I know you are just gonna bully me and tell me they both suck and I should make my own but could you please just answer my question? Which one of these is better(I didn't say good, just better) and why? Left or right?
Samuel Taylor
Well if it's double, then no. You'll be happy with the 1030.
I have the 27" and while it's not IPS, it's a great gaming monitor in all other aspects. You do have to fiddle with the colors a bit but it takes 10mins
For a $400 difference from the ASUS/predator I figured I could live without IPS on this screen
Lucas Moore
explain as if I was really really dumb
Isaiah Sanders
Those PCs are both equally trash. Just forget about them, pretend they don't exist. Now go watch some generic tech yters or give us your budget and say what you're using your computer for.
Ayden Lee
CANNOT decide between an 8400 and 1600x. >8400 marginally better gaming performance at 1440p >1600x 16 threads, better mobo, will probably run cooler/quieter even OC'd to 4/4.1
Anthony Powell
fuck this im just gonna buy a prebuilt desu
Nathan Long
build your own you stupid cunt.
Juan Wilson
Bruh buy the parts and let someone assemble them for you if you don't want to do it yourself, but don't buy that shit
Hunter Watson
they're both garbage and both are fucking ugly
Jackson Nelson
thanks for the information user, just one last question though: would I need to reinstall windows from scratch when I change the gpu?
Isaac Rogers
>1600x >16 threads what?
Jack Jones
I believe not but some other user should confirm that information.
