Anything you see wrong here /pcbg/? (first Ryzen budget build)
honestly getting the 2200G because the 1200 is actually 10$ more funny enough and i thought getting an extra APU just in case the 1050ti fucks up would be a pretty good fallback plan, will prob look at different motherboards though (or get them to do it in store for me so i can just go home and put it together) not like i cant do it myself, just would be better to do it there and not have to come back if i fucked it up myself

Trying to make a build for a few weeks now, and I keep flip flopping on parts, and leddit isn't helping.
I have a 1060 6GB from a friend, and my budget is ~800-900 for the rest of the parts. Why the fuck does everyone on leddit shill for AMD Ryzen CPUs? I've always had problems with AMD GPU's, as have my friends; with overheating, crashing only after a year; fan issues, compatibility issues, etc. Why the fuck would anyone get an AMD CPU when their track record fucking sucks?
Justin Long
these new apu's seem to actually be worth the price when compared to the fx ones. But if your looking for less amd shilling, then you've come to the worst place. If you already have a 1060 then lets see if i can help you out, looking for intel, or amd?
Christian Reyes
i need to find a place to get 64gb of ddr3 for under $200 i have the place for ddr2, but ddr3 is preferred.
Carter Torres
kek nigga now thats bait
Gavin Lewis
>mfw I didn't fall for the raisin/coffin lake meme
>mfw the ice lake chips will have a consumer 8c/16t cpu with god-tier 5ghz oc
Over budget just because I included monitor / keyboard / OS
The one main stipulation with the build is that it needs to be wifi, since I don't have physical access to the router. /r/buildapc freaked the fuck out with the original miniatx build, but I don't give a fuck about overclocking and have no interest in ryzen memes.
Chase Long
>looking for 64 gb ram (ddr3) under $200 Then you'll be looking for a really long time friend.
Brandon Watson
For virtualization the 1600X still wrecks the 8700K. Thanks Meltdown!
Grayson Wood
AMD has always done the minimalistic value thing to appeal to budget minded people, and people always cheap out on their parts as well which results in more trash performance.
Its fine for enthusiasts who can maintain their own systems but its bad for people who cant. They also excel at certain tasks due to their structure but they lag behind intel at some other points.
Id say pair that 1060 with a intel i5-8400 / i5-8600k. Its within budget and the performance is undeniable.
Nicholas Johnson
uh no nigga
Jaxon Anderson
AMD (Ryzen) CPUs and GPUs are not comparable. Leddit actually has been bitching about AMD GPUs since that fiasco with Founder's Edition. /r/AMD regularly recommends nvidia for GPUs while juggling a nostalgia for the HD 8700, FreeSync etc. Hell that subreddit probably came up with "Advanced Mining Devices".
Besides, Intel is for gaming these days because it is now the inferior option for virtualization. Check out articles about EPYC if you don't believe me.
Owen Harris
gonna buy this tomorrow, any objections?
Luis Rogers
If you don't care about overclocking, get the 8400, 6 intel cores make it leagues better than kaby lake i5 while being more or less the same price. I went for 8600k, bc I cared about overclocking, total beast btw, but whatever I digress. I personally have never seen many complaints from corsair psu's Also just buy a $15 windows 10 product key and your set pcpartpicker.com/list/HLbhMZ
timestamp with post # with 1080ti right now or gtfo
Luke Williams
It would be cheaper to fly to the US, stay in a motel, order the parts and ship to the motel, and then put the parts on your carry-on and return home then it would be to buy them from AUS retailers.
Get faster RAM m8. Consider getting Gskill or Corsair too, they're usually cheaper than Kingston with no noticeable difference. At least 3000MHz, I say. Don't be afraid to downgrade to CL16, Ryzen thrives on high frequencies. Also, consider not getting a GPU at all, to begin with. The integrated Vega is actually quite good and should run everything on Low at good framerates (1080p). You can always grab a GPU later if you need more power. I'd also get an SSD from maybe Crutial or some better brand, Kingstons have had problems in the past, would avoid.
Finally, don't forget that your board will need to be updated to boot that CPU, so ask your shop if they'll do it for you, odds are you probably don't have another AM4 chip lying around. Good luck.
Ryder White
It's going to cost $500 or more and probably draw 1kW from the wall at 5GHz.
David Brown
top fucking kek
Caleb Gomez
Yeah but time is money nigger. And I can get my work to pay for it all. So as long as I don't go stupid, money isn't a big factor.
Nicholas Flores
Does this build look appropriate and what might you change? Looking to drive an ASUS pg279q (already owned). 1440p 144hz, in Witcher 3 for example (maybe not 144 fps but you get the idea). Also maybe mining crypto in downtime? Not sure on the PSU, only used Corsair in the past, which worked great. Also heard that Noctua D15 is surpassed by the Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT (literally who?), but not when overclocking? Is this accurate or should I stick with Noctua (currently using a NH-U12P, it's always been quiet and I like it). I'm not necessarily looking to "future-proof" but I would like to get as much life out of these parts as I can. Thanks
Matthew Rogers
>"dont go stupid"
>lives in the shithole that is aus.
try again chucklefuck
Easton Gray
Don't 4TB drives have higher failure rates? I'd look that up. Might want to get 2x2TB if that's the case.
Jace Thomas
stick with noctua go for the ryzen 1700/1700x
Liam Cooper
Actually I underestimated the price, the 7820X costs $600, so an 8 core consumer chip will probably be $575.
Brandon Nguyen
i would skip but honestly every time if save up and have enough money for a whole build, the money would get taken away by a random car part being needed or somthing needing my money in general, its like badluck, so ill get this for now and sell it to a friend down the line for MSRP or cheaper, because those prices are terrible, and ill look more into ram thanks a bunch gonna look at faster ram friend thanks aswell, gonna switch out the SSD too, i was ify on getting Kingston but didnt know if i was just paranoid or not, and yeah i planned on asking them to update it for me or if i could somehow borrow a used cpu and update it in the store with them
Christopher Perez
I already bought the mobo 2x2TB is a bit more expensive but I'll check out failure rates, thanks
Juan Williams
Dude, this is totally future proof. The noctua is fine all things considered.
Joseph Evans
Can't decide Sup Forums.
Thinking of getting ASUS VN248H-P or Asus VC239H. Any one have either of these 2 monitors?
Which one is newer tech? Is 1" really a big difference with screen real estate (programming/reading/light gaming)?
Halp.
Thomas Ross
Who the fucks buy be quiet or noctua stuff? Their logo and product design are just horrible.
Why is every youtuber shilling for them so hard?
Dylan James
oh yeah, totally forgot to ask: which edition of W10 is the least cancer? I read one person's post about forced updates even though they disabled them through the registry. I guess I could purchase another copy of W7 but they'll stop supporting it soon, right?
Thank you!
Blake Hill
What size monitor are you using right now? Don't know which one is newer, but looks like an extra $10 gets you another inch. When you're programming how do you organize your windows? 1" probably isn't a big difference but it might be to you, especially if you use a whole bunch of windows at once.
Noah Rivera
You can get a Pro key off of Kinguin for like $30.
Josiah Howard
>PC as I currently have it set up is over $6000 >still need to upgrade my 2 monitors
I feel like getting dual 1440p144hz IPS G-Sync would be stupid since I'll never put a game on the secondary monitor. Might just get a tilty monitor and an ultrawide or some shit.

ebay you stingy jew
"miniatx" the first one because it appears to cost a bit less and the case is from a better company. when it comes to cases the sketch brands are more often than not shit to work with.
btw why not pirate windows and use it till it breaks? could potentially save you some money there. not sure is true but i heard some win 7/8 keys worked at one point. if you have an old cd key you should try that with an installer from a legit source.
cooler seems a bit overkill and pricey but i am biased towards big block coolers because they are more reliable and failsafe and i dont have to yank out fans pre installed in the case to mount it.
where do you get a legit key for 15$?
why do you need a 1tb M2 drive? and why do you need 2 M2 drives? why not replace the big fucker with a 2.5 SSD with the same capacity for almost half that cost?
i think it looks good
plug the usb into a 2.0 port if you havent already and if that doesnt work its probably cause you need to install the chipset drivers before the other shit works in windows.
download all the board and NIC drivers and/or installers to another (functioning) computer and then plug in your boot SSD and copy the drivers to a random folder in the boot SSD. transfer the boot SSD back and run windows and just navigate to that folder and launch the installers or whatever.
alternately there are some winPE and linux live cds that will work with generic drivers and you can copy the drivers from your usb to your main SSD without swapping the SSD into another machine to do a file copy and then you can boot windows and run the driver installers from the same drive it just booted from.

Intel CPUs use thermal paste, their CPUs run hot and are currently vulnerable to Meltdown
Ryzen CPUs are soldered and will last a much longer time since it can handle heat much more efficiently
If you enjoy getting jewed go with Intel, if you want a processor built with quality in mind, go with AMD
Tyler Cooper
Can you really blame them? 580s for $400+, Vega for over $1000
Nobody in their right mind would recommend an AMD GPU at this point since miners gobble them up and drive the prices to absolutelt insane levels

Eli Morgan
Pi and HTPC fanatics are awful too. Whenever someone buys some nice brushed aluminum AV receiver or other media equipment you get legions of people screaming how they should just use a Raspberry Pi instead. Sure, you can put your Pi in a box of cardboard and call it a day, it would be cheaper, but that's missing the point.

Thought I could get some performance out of this, but it performs the same as a piped heatsink. Should've got a DH15 for half the price

Yes it will work. As for the mobo ask your retailer if they are already updated, if not ask if they can update the bios for you.
