Consider a higher quality PSU Consider a 144-240hz monitor since it seems to be a gayman build
Andrew Phillips
did you pull those components out of a hat?
David Foster
So for threadripper, if I'm not planning on doing meme overclocking, would going with thermaltake's 360mm (quieter) over Enermax's 360mm (cooler) be alright? Or is it a housefire on full load?
Christian Garcia
You gonna oc to max? Is that cooler good for pushing 5ghz on a 8600k? That's the only point getting a 8600k for. Else you might just get a 8400 put it to 3.8ghz boost and save some cash
Julian Bailey
Noctua tr4 coolers can handle even oc threadripper let alone non oc. Why not just go air
Andrew Edwards
quieter and I've got the infection for things that can light up since getting a new keyboard last year.
Liam Bailey
Air cooling would be even less noise. No pump noise. But no RGB. Why not just get enermax and adjust fan curve ? I've heard it's the best tr4 cooler
Nolan Wright
Yeah I've read some more shit and it turns out the TT one can't sync its lights with the mobo. Just gonna get some separate lit up fans with the enermax later and call it day on that one.

February 12: Ryzen 2200G to replace R3 1200 at $99 Ryzen 2400G to replace R5 1400 at $169
Ryzen 2 (12nm Zen+) and X470 chipset in April. Probably 8-core Ryzen 7 first.
End of March?: H310, B360 and H370 motherboards for Intel so i3-8100 is finally relevant
William Roberts
If the 2200G clocks even 100MHz higher than the 1200 then the 8100 is worthless
What happens if I have a psu that has less voltage than required for my parts
Camden Moore
Why would you get an 8600K but only 8GB of memory and no SSD or video card
Dylan Walker
So we have to wait 'til April to get a mobo that works with 2400G right outta the box?
Brandon Phillips
Do you know what voltage is? Or do you mean wattage?
Jaxon Murphy
If the boards we have now come preloaded with the newest BIOS after February 12 then those would technically work out of the box
Ian Robinson
>8gigs of ram >No ssd
Aaron Flores
You mean wattage. Your parts don't use full power at all times, so your PC will basically shut down suddenly whenever it ramps up to a power draw that the PSU can't handle.
could toss all this on my credit card right now, already have everything else. any critiques?
Jackson Powell
Hmm hasn't happened to me yet. I have a 430 but I have a gtx 980ti and a coffee lake CPU. He only thing that has happened is the gpu runs alittle but slower in high computing
Charles Evans
Are you planning on buying an 8700K and not overclocking it at all? Seriously just get the 8700 and that way you can also get a cheaper board if you want. If you do keep the 8700K you should get an NH-D15 or NH-D15S. Also, your board is on the cheaper side and might not be able to overclock as well. Consider 3200MHz memory
Anthony Miller
i plan on messing with OC but the ultimate plan here is a silent build. which means i may overclock but nothing super serious, which is why i didn't opt for noctua on the cooler. asrock is something i've been using for years and they've never done me wrong, plus having enough sata ports is a must. understood about the ram though, price difference is negligible.
as far as motherboards go, any recommendations? 8 sata ports is my only real need. i have a fuck ton of data.
Ian Powell
I had planned to upgrade the ram to 16 gb at some point, but I will look into an ssd. I've never actually used a computer with one

I was like you user, had 1 HDD for system 1 for games n shit moving to SSD was amazing everything just happens faster keep in mind for huge sustained file transfers SSDs will hit a buffer wall and go down to slightly below maximum HDD tier speeds but this only matters for tens of GBs
Adam Allen
>Minecraft
Rong.
Daniel Butler
That won't be silent though With a $30 cooler you'll be stressing it quite a bit at stock voltage Noctua specializes in silence so I would very strongly consider budgeting that in. If you do not care very much about overclocking feel free to keep the board but I really don't see the point of paying more for an 8700K when you could wait for the 8700 to get in stock and save $70 on that
Landon Garcia
Why the fuck would you buy Skylake-X
Isaiah Thompson
Skyrim modding, obviously.
Lincoln Mitchell
it was more expensive so i figured its better, right?
nah, i bought it to do mods for ascii games
Jason Smith

why would i be joking? I take this laotian iguana tossing board very seriously

sold my z270k and i7 6700 along with 2133 ddr 4 ram 8gb and 4gb sticks.
That memory is slow Why did you sell your 6700, anyway?
Elijah Miller
Dumb as pile of bricks. The 6700 is fine. Why are you upgrading in 2 gens to a flawed CPU? What are you doing now that the 6700 can't do but the 8700k does well.
Gabriel Stewart
>What are you doing now that the 6700 can't do but the 8700k does well.
Overheat?
Liam Stewart
Heh. Cheeky.
Logan Moore
Wanted a 7700k but since the 8700 is out ill just get it.
Yeah looking over it, Idk why I picked that ram lol. Which of these are the best pick? pcpartpicker.com/list/xbxT4C
8100 even more worthless maybe, but those 2c/4t Celerons won't. We live in a timeline where Intel are the better choice for poverty-tier builds.
All existing boards will work with a BIOS update. Mine is already supported two weeks ago. Out of the box, yes, X470 in April (possibly before the chips launch), and B450 who knows when
Aiden Gonzalez
Get the most expensive one since clearly you have no common sense or a budget.
Jonathan Hill
You fucktard, it's not your money to spend. the 8700k is happening and so is the mobo, just not sure on which ram to go with.
Probably going to go with the Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Noah Perez
Why are you asking /pcbg/ for opinions if you are just going to buy the most expensive shit? >Hurr durr check out this humble brag on Sup Forums
Samuel Diaz
you should get the skylark 7900x pc, thats what i got
Brandon Price
It's definitely not the most expensive shit, they are all the same price. TO me it looks like they're all the same its just the looks and preference. Jesus fucking chris you neets are salty fucks.
if i was buying the most expensive shit i would have gotten the 32gb kit or 64gb. Happens to be I'm fine with a $200 budget
Landon Evans
get the skylark 7900 cpu its wikkid sikk man
Henry Hill
If you can afford expensive processors and motherboards why limit yourself to DDR-3200? Get some DDR4-4266
Ayden Lee
Look it is clear you have more money than sense so you don't need our opinions, it is not like you will even consider listening to us in the first place cause you are a moron. Piss off.
Isaiah Rivera
too eexpensive
Ethan Collins
Because like I said, i'm fine with $200 for ram. I don't want to upgrade that often, why's that so hard for you to understand? I had the 6700 for two years. Just refreshing the guts.
Christopher Smith
hey man nobody needs your toxic tude dude, the man is R.I.C.H. be happy for him
Josiah Morgan
>All existing boards will work with a BIOS update. Mine is already supported two weeks ago. Just asking myself if I should pre-buy a B350 while I have the money, or if I should just wait for B450 for less possible issues.
Asher Rodriguez
Even without OC, for silent you're gonna want to go with a beefier cooler. be quiet!'s dark rocks are bretty gud choices in the air category.
Matthew Rogers
if i'm gonna overclock the 8700k, should i get something different than the geminii m4 that I had on the 6700? i was thinking of the evo 212 but I didn't get it at the time because that shit is stupid big.
Blake Stewart
>I don't want to upgrade that often >I had the 6700 for two years
Connor Scott
The 6700 came out of a prebuilt, I never bought it boxed so this would be my first CPU purchase in a long time.
Kayden Clark
>Evo 212 stupid big >Overclocked 8700k on the Evo 212
Mason Kelly
can anyone recommend a used xeon? looking to trash this fx8300
Dylan Fisher
suggest something or go be a cunt by your own self. ignoring water cooled, what's the best bet for a cooler.
Juan Hughes
If the manufacturers release a 2.0 version with latest BIOS, sure. There's a host of B350 to choose from. You'd need another few months to wait, choose and pick for B450. Even if there's no B450, they will absolutely release new B350s with Raven Ridge support out of the box
Benjamin Kelly
How about you do some basic research about the stuff you are going to spend half a thousand dollars buying? If that is too daunting how about you go buy another prebuilt?
Dominic Stewart
got 5x 120mm and 1x 140mm noctuas from disassembling older build, what case should I get?
Christian Stewart
I had mismatched RAM 8 and 4GB from the same prebuilt because I needed a computer at the time so I took it out of it to build the current one. Also don't like the z270k prime anymore and wanted a 7700k before but since 8700k came out just recently I thought I'd do it all at once. I also just did my taxes and my refund is looking nice. So don't give me shit about how much a part costs, because you sound insecure and projecting at me for some reason.
What I spend my money should be none of your concern, you're just being a little cunt with something up your ass or you're just always like that since that's the shitty person you've always been.
Levi Edwards
Nah. You are a cunt with more money than common sense who clearly don't want to do basic research about the stuff he is buying. Sure you can buy a 8700k but is it wise to buy a 8700k in your situation? Probably not. Go ahead buy that 8700k with a huge hardware exploit built into it. I am sure that will help you do whatever the fuck you are doing that you can't apparently do on a 6700. Maybe you can be a good goyim and buy 9700 when it comes out as well.
Nicholas Stewart
If I was so loaded why aren't I purchasing the 7900 and 64gb of ultra memed 4000mhz ram? Listen to yourself, you're got some internal struggles going on and it's not healthy. There is a reason this community has gone to shit over time, because of people like you.
Sure I could use an m.2 drive as well, but I use an SSD to boot already so if I was so loaded like you said and had no common sense, why am I not buying those and two titans to boot?
Amazing.
Charles Cook
The community has gone to shit because of idiots like you who don't want to do basic research and come in here expecting to be spoonfed. Hey you want to go against common sense and buy an intel chip with a huge security baked into it and takes huge performance hits when the patch and BIOS are applied? Be my guest. You clearly don't want sound advice but instead want to listen to your own fart.
Jack Howard
Pretty sure I was just asking for recommendations for ram and you got your panties in a bunch. You sound like an AMD drone for fucks sake. muh exploits.
Owen Lee
You talk like you know about "this community" when it is clear to everyone here that this is your first time in this thread. Reddit might be better for you.
Cooper Hill
Yeah first time, you're so right. Get the fuck out of here, I've been here longer than you have - I promise you that.
Ethan Jenkins
>Opinions on these three >I was just "asking recommendations for RAM" >Get honest opinion >Cries >Exposes that he knows jackshit about the stuff he is buying You disgust me.
Ethan Perez

Camden Garcia
>community >Sup Forums Yeah, no, you're a cunt. Also only an insecure faggot gets concerned about how long they've been on a tibetan yodelling image board. And until Intel comes out with a chip that doesn't require software side patching or fucking BIOS updates to fix their massive, TWENTY FIVE YEAR OLD SECURITY HOLE, I wouldn't buy their shit unless it was on as big a discount, goy.
Jace Long
dont make fun of her she is a delicate lady (my wife)

Noah Lewis
come again? sounds like you caught some salty feelings and never had a use for liquidity
Aaron Ward
Look no one cares about how much money you have. Richer people have posted on these forums before. The fact that you have to bust out your bank account shows how childish you are.
Noah Clark
yes yes. i'll let you goyim get back to worrying about muh exploits and muh performance hits.
Sebastian Baker
be quiet pure rock slim is literally right beside noctua in terms of sound. doesn't cool nearly as efficiently, no, but it's just as silent under load. for a 30 dollar cooler that's pretty impressive.
Oliver Thompson
If you want to smell your own farts, don't post here. Don't ask for opinions and then get butthurt when you get exposed for an idiot. Do basic research on the stuff you are going to buy. And this is an anonymous forum where no one gives a shit about your identity. I could be Obama for all you know but busting out a bank account balance as if that proves a point is childish as fuck. You are anonymous, you got called out. Let it go and stop replying, is that so hard to do?
Hunter Parker
Your biggest argument against the 8700k was a 1% - 5% performance hit well within a margin of error, that's literally what you based your whole bashing of the 8700k on.
You are literally an AMD drone.
Cameron Mitchell
Tell me what is it you are going to do on the 8700k that you can't do a 6700. Not a lot considering you don't even know basic stuff like cooling an overclocked 8700k.
Eli Russell
I'm not worried about slightly higher temps, CPU are meant to run hot you kike.
It's none of your business what the 8700k will be used for and should have no relevance to the discussion at hand.
Parker Murphy
So you are spending money for the sake of spending money when your 6700 can probably do whatever the fuck you want it to do? Then you proceed to ask for opinions on what is basically a very expensive small upgrade which doesn't benefit your in practice and you got butthurt because people mentioned it stupid? Butthurt enough that you posted your checking account as if to say look at me having stupid amount of money to buy stupid amount of stuff.
Hilarious. Look, you clearly don't give a shit about "opinions" and want to buy whatever the fuck you want and yet wander into this this thread asking for "opinions". What the fuck were you expecting?
Parker Cooper
will you guys shut the fuck up and stop polluting the thread
Jackson Torres
No, I was running mismatching ram, that's one of the main reasons for purchasing these parts. 6700 was struggling to render scenes I was working on and I already have a 1080ti so the only other thing I could improve is a new CPU.
I was expecting to see if there is a preference between those ram kits, as they are identical to me. Same price range, so that's why I asked if anyone might have purchased any of the ones I listed.
Liam Wilson
>Replacing that with these three, opinions? Okay bud. Whatever you say. It is "ram kit" now huh. Buy whatever you want, Intel never had issues with RAM not being recognized unlike AMD. You would know this if you bothered doing basic research.
Easton Rogers
Since you all seem to be in a helpful mood. Is there anything I can improve with my build? pcpartpicker.com/list/6YQwtJ
Ignore the multiple keyboards and mice, I'm still in the process of picking them. The gpu I'll wait for a more reasonable price. Mostly I'm wondering about the psu. I'm a little worried it's not quite powerful enough. The case also comes with only one 200mm fan. I'll probably scavenge some more from my current system but if there's anything worthwhile out there that's cheap and quite I'm open for it.
Cooper Rivera
>Okay bud. Whatever you say. It is "ram kit" now huh. Buy whatever you want, Intel never had issues with RAM not being recognized unlike AMD. You would know this if you bothered doing basic research. It's a kit of two dimms, yes as in a pair. What are you raging on about?
