How big of a deal breaker is 60hz? EV2750-WT looks ridiculously aesthetic but is more expensive than the supposedly beefier PG279Q that honestly looks like ricer trash.
Julian Morris
the more I look into monitors the more trash EVERY option seems. Imo 60hz is not a deal breaker.

Meshify has better airflow. The rest have dumb choking front panels. But as the other user said, pick based on aesthetics
Just make sure you put in an additional fan if your choice only has two

Asrock B350 Pro4 unless you want heavy overclocking.

I'm probably just going to do a moderate over clock on it. Like I'm running my 4690k at 4ghz right now.

anyone having issues with ryzen on win10 ltsb? ran fine the first day, now it crashes after 10 minutes. tried reinstalling os, reflash bios, clear cmos, lowering ram down to 2133, i'm currently in the process of just rebuilding it for fun to see if i did a fuckup. I read online that the creators update fixed it, but aren't the patches from mainstream updates included in ltsb?
Lmao well you'll be able to run some pixel-shit on full settings at least with that trash
David Edwards
1440p IPS for $390 or 1080p TN 144Hz for $350? I have a ryzen 5 1600 and a gtx 1070, which monitor would I benefit from more in gayming? I currently use a 1080p TN @ 60Hz
Leo Morris

what games are you playing?
Joshua Robinson
>1080p TN >350$ Never in the world will this ever be a good deal. Go for the 1440p IPS without a doubt.

my friend has all the parts in this list except the mobo and cooler. which ones should he buy to finish this build? I added these ones as placeholders but now the mobo price has increased substantially

>[4 GB x2] DDR4-2400 i seriously hope you dont do this
James Martin
Uhh I don't even know I just built this, I kinda wanted to look for games on Sup Forums or /vg/ tomorrow. I used to play league a few years ago when my old pc was still able to run it at 30 fps, it got worse and worse with every new patch so I stopped but I might get back into it, evil within 1 and the crysis games look fun, maybe just cause 3 and I'll probably try new cod, mirror's edge catalyst idk. I'd like to play triple A shit, but also some lower graphics multiplayers that easily go above a hundred fps The cheapest 144hz IPS display I can get is 730 cangaroo bucks. I really wanted to get more than 60 fps out of this setup and only realized IPS and high refresh rate don't really mix today. Is it really not worth it over the IPS?

what's the absolute cheapest build that'll allow me to do day to day tasks(programming/internet/youtube/no gaming)? can i build something that'll cost $300 and will be upgradable down the line when i get more money?
James Watson
I do [spoiler]but I haven't used it since high school and it has all my former edgy usernames on it as well as my real name
Ayden Jackson
Sell the 6600K and buy an i5 8400 or R5 1600 if you don't have a mobo
Both are probably dumb options Get yourself a nice VA panel
>R7 1700 >1050Ti You dun goofed.
Unless there's something in particular you're doing don't bother
i7 3770/K or keep your i5 7970 = 1050Ti so a 1060 3GB is probably your best bet
1070 is only worth about $350
Dominic Scott
When you build your PCs, how much electrical contact grease do you put between your CPU and the sockets, /pcbg/?
Jayden Allen
Damn you're worse than I thought, there is literally no saving you until you catch up on everything you missed in the last 5 years. Right now you're a lifeless husk.
Easton Harris
Whats wrong with build besides low ram? I have another 8gb from old pc.
I use a plastic knife to spread it on the socket like butter on bread.
Brandon Perez
Please shill me a good 144Hz VA monitor under 400 us bucks How do I catch up? I refuse to play anything even remotely connected to anime
Lincoln Martin
>contact grease >not mayo ygsiu
Elijah Wilson
Mayo will do it if you don't have any grease, but electrical contact grease gives you better insertion pressure and less corrosion, user.
Levi Stewart
>I refuse to play anything even remotely connected to anime That's where the problem lies, the year is 2018 where gays and other shit are rampant. Anime is the last humanity's bastion protecting you from filthy scum that your fucking country started you stupid fatass. You catch up by not sucking dick, playing vidya, having a proper steam account and watching anime. Anything else and you'll probably grow up to be a murderer or something.
What GPU would go well with an old intel DZ68ZV, I sold the card that I had several years ago and I'm setting it back up for my gf.

>good goy just stay inside smoke weed watch anime and play video games No thanks, I'd rather be a murderer and ki CIA niggers with my car

How bad of an idea is it to mix RAM speeds? I have 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 RAM and I want to get 8GB more but I can only find 1600 Mhz RAM
Carson Davis

Benjamin Johnson
I fell for the artic jew. In the pic there was a chart stating it was superior to Cooler Master's in some arbitrary percentage, which was like half the price. There was also adhesive tape, but you are not using that for chipsets, r..rright Sup Forums?
Jace Evans
>implying I went to (((college))) You might as well be using them though if you're being a good indoors goy who passively consumes (((entertainment))) instead of bettering himself for the upcoming race war. Nippon media is created by (((them))) as well, it just occupies a different niche.
Daniel Rivera
All of your ram will run at 1333 MHz or less and have shit latency
Grayson Powell
You are getting worse with every post.
Elijah Gomez
Nice argument faggot, go back to watching anime and transition into a "qt" trap catboy so you can be like the "kawai" characters in your chinese cartoons
What's the CPU? Probably RX 560 or GTX 1050 if it doesn't have a PCIe connectors from the PSU

Hey everyone, I'm still new to all this, and need some help if anyone wants to. I have a few questions, and need some recommendations for compatible parts that I own already.

i3-8100 some
Jayden Reed
what should I get, and why? a 1440p monitor, or a 1080p monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate? This is for gaming. I cann't afford 1440p and 144Hz
Zachary Evans
Buy something with any sandy bridge or newer i5 and add a GT 1030 You should be able to find a system for 80$~ USD and the GPU is 80$~ The standard PSU is enough to power it as it does not need a 6 pin. Try and find something with 8gb of ram and i5 maybe even i7 or xeon based
>Got some DDR3 ram from brother for my old build >2x8GB G.Skill Sniper RAM to compliment my 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaw RAM >Windows is only detecting 20GB of RAM What the fuck? Its detecting that all 4 slots on my motherboard M5A97 R2.0 are filled.

I need a new modern case that's big enough to fit an Evo Hyper 212 heat sink. I like shiny LEDs (yes Im a fag) in my case. Any suggestions for a $50-$100 case?

They seem to only do headsets. And come on, those speakers from what I've looked all around seem really solid. I'm just unsure if the 5.1 setup can all be plugged on my motherboard. (Asrock AB350m Pro4)

Not really, at leadt not where I live. Its really fucking hard to find deals :/
Elijah Fisher
When are the next major Intel CPU and GPU lines coming out? I know waiting is a meme because something new is always just around the corner but the prices right now are fucking ridiculous.
Sebastian Perry
Look above Find a dell or HP shitty system with a i5 i7 or i3 of any generation newer than sandy bridge.
Add in a GT 1030 and you are set for cheap setup
Nicholas Campbell
Post your speccy
Seems fine. Don't worry about the security flaw in the Intel arch; it doesn't affect you
1080p 144Hz If you're too poor for 1440 144Hz you're also to poor to keep buying graphics cards to keep up with 1440p requirements
Wait until mid Feb for the new Ryzen APUs. You won't need a graphics card and you'll be able to play Overwatch with a 99USD chip Mobo+chip+RAM will cost you about 250USD. I'm assuming you'll be able to scavenge other components like case, PSU, storage, etc
Brandon Howard
I have a chance to get a 2nd hand 7700 for cheap. Will it bottleneck a 1080ti? I plan to play on 1440p144hz.
Reason being that I can get a somewhat modern CPU that will last me 2-3 years before all the meltdown/spectre fixed CPU are released.
