Josiah Bennett
you're starting high-end but will end up in medium territory in a few years
Daniel Bennett
Oh shit you're right
Dominic Nelson
don't all high end, end up in medium category in within 2 or 3 years.
Christian Hernandez
Why 750 watts and not just 400?
Sebastian Adams
no there are 3 markets and each one has a different cap >personal computers >workstations >servers
for example Workstations can have hundreds of cores Industrial graphics cards can have 10x the ram etc
Xavier Perez
What's wrong with that? If you start in Med territory you're going to be shit in 2-3 years.
John Smith
Why cheap out on the GPU? Surely a 1080 would have served you better
Andrew Sanders
Erm .....
Juan Rivera
So he can get a second 1070 in a few years
Daniel Mitchell
need it for the Monitor as well, just extra precaution, don't want the PSU shitting out on me.
Landon Morris
I don't think the benchmark percent difference is too different from what I have seen only, I was thinking of getting an i5-6600k since there's only a 12% from the i7-6700k
Evan Torres
if you're wise about price points then you can invest less and stay up for longer
confused? i7 v e7 gtx v quadro
let's not talk about servers then, it gets worse
Jacob Thomas
I want this build to be more of a entertainment/gaming system to go in the living room, instead of buying a 4k television.
Grayson Moore
it should be more than capable what's the cost user?
Jaxon Rodriguez
Why get the if but cheap out on the gpu? My specs: If 6700k Evga gtx 1080sc 2x8gb 3200hz 500gb Samsung ssd Asus z170 programing Evga 750w psu
Connor Sanchez
1500 total, maybe a little less, if I browse around, It'll probably be cheaper if I get an HDD instead of of the SSHD
Oliver Hill
>high end rig >1070 why? I have a 6600k @4.6Ghz and I have an EVGA GTX 1080 SC. That card is barely enough for me, I don't know how you can be satisfied with a 1070. If your goal is gaming it would've been better getting an i5 and a 1080 like I did.
Owen Powell
how heavily does the 1080 tax your 6700k though, not trying to tax the cpu for a couple of pixels
Jacob Ortiz
Looks solid to me.
Brody Collins
I just built something for an arcade stand
i7 3930k 6core 100$ dx79to motherboard 180$ other parts around the house
life is full of options
Charles Perry
Which one, have you guys had a better experience with?.. I'm wondering.
Gavin Reed
You guys are fucking nerds.
Why do you spend so much on all this bullshit when you can just get a console to play the games on? Plus you can watch Netflix off consoles now so what's the point?
Andrew Moore
gr8 b8 m8
Colton Morales
depends on the specific one some hdd's faster than slow ssd's
for bulk memory I get 'white lable' hdd's
OS gets it's own SSD Games/programs get their own SSD too
cooking vs eating fast food
Matthew Campbell
can you play 4k games though and whats the fps?
Lincoln Scott
LMAO LMAO THIS GUY IS SAD NEWFAG detected
Jackson Hill
Why not both?
Gavin Cox
HDD. SSD is quicker but not designed to be wrote and rewrote on. For a hard-drive HDD is best.
Christopher Torres
Consoles are for plebs
Charles James
SSD for the OS with the HDD for data storage.
Hybrid drive is the same concept. OS on the SSD part, data on the HDD part.
Hybrid drives are great for laptops and small form factor computers. They aren't too expensive, offer SSD performance for the OS, and have gobs of storage compared to a similarly priced SSD.
Ryder Kelly
I built a AMD Apu system a few years ago from the A8 series didn't skimp on the ram got good 1866 everyone laughed at me and I'm still playing games from 2014 and 2015 on high with no fucking lag fucking idiots bragging about how many frames their shit can reprocess
I do video editing and everything multiple gb files on SSD drives slice right through in vsdc
Daniel Gray
>implying CPU load increases with resolution No, I can't play 4k at max settings at 60fps, therefore I say that you can't play 4k with a 1080. I can play every game I tested so far at 2560*1440 max settings 60fps. I could do 4k but I'd have to drop some graphics quality settings, and considering I'm using DSR it's not worth it. A single 1080 is not enough for serious 4k.
Dominic Hernandez
amd A8 laptop here
200$ and I'm playing games on what should have been an emergency computer
Blake Williams
I like both and suck my dick.
Hudson Perry
APU's are great for budget machines, and outperform similarly priced CPU/GPU combos. Good choice user.
John Bailey
why with new cpus coming out in a few months
Jacob Campbell
i too often like 25fps and graphics that are from the 90's
Thomas Edwards
>pay 10x for a machine that's 1.2x better
William Fisher
Not amd
Kevin Sanchez
cause thats going to cost too much...
Alexander Turner
Oh boy.
Andrew Morris
Oh geeze, oh boy oh geeze
Gabriel Russell
how much are those cpus going to cost when they come out, $900
Christian Johnson
Yeah but you no doubt have shit ram tho too all store bought comps have shit ram, shit PSU and normally shit motherboard chipsets
Imagine that fucker rocking with 16gb 1866 g.skill ram
Liam King
I heard AMDs are faulty.
Aaron Mitchell
no matter the ram firefox would still eat it ALL
;-;
Nolan Gray
all processors come out different, are tested, and sorted into groups
AMD has lower technology ability than Intel.
But that shouldn't matter considering warrenty
Elijah Gray
Samefag here and I use Firefox and is lightning fast as fuck
Joshua Garcia
I used firefox for a while... but then google chrome came out
Isaac Butler
Ya cause intel cpu always going up 10x in cost right? zen is already a flop 100% right won't either be a good value or make intel maybe lower prices rite... like dafaq you retard.
David Gutierrez
It's my combination of addons I use for work They work fine individually, not much I can do about that
what I need is not available on other browsers
Jack Gutierrez
ya cause they always cost more right? Shits like the same price as 5 years ago... what + 30$ tops... lawl wut.
Zachary Allen
spotted the common-core fag
Jeremiah Moore
well we have a i3 coming out that shows it beating a i7... 6700k... for like sub 200? /btards...
Caleb King
>zen is already a flop sauce?
Justin Thomas
>k series proc >Not water cooling it and over clocking it >only a 1070 Dafuqk
Levi Torres
you are some kinda fucking idiot... like your statement is so stupid I cant not even start to try to understand where it came from.
Grayson Lopez
cost more than buying a used processor or AMD not from year-to-year that fact is the basis of the argument on why not to buy the newest
one bench is meaningless
Christian Rodriguez
Was sarcasm... idk if it is or not. No on does so we do not know what it will do to prices so anyone crying PRICE is retarded...
Adam Kelly
It's actually what they call math now, but I guess you didn't go to school.
Julian Wright
I love these threads, some of you guys got good builds, but it amazes me that you only know 1 fucking thing i7s and 1080s. I never see workstation builds or server builds.
Sure OP's rig is nice, clean can't bitch about it. I have built people some high end custom looped liquid cooled systems, even carbon fiber wraped cases, custom painted parts and insides.
Nothing compares to my hypervisor server running hyper-v dual xeon processor 128gb of ECC ram with 24tb of storage.
Robert Adams
AMD revamped their process when they started releasing APU's, and is being changed since the acquisition of Global Foundries.
The last of the AMD FX's were very consistantly made and were only sorted between variants.
Best AMD FX 8XXX become the 9XXX or the 8XXXE processors, the "lower" rated ones become the 8320, and the "average" ones become the 8350. From there they just start cutting cores. So the average 8XXX becomes a 6350, and the lower 8XXX becomes the 6300, same with the quads.
Quality control was only really a big problem when the Phenoms were new.
Grayson Scott
> anyone crying PRICE is retarded not everyone is an autistic rich princess..? idk what you're getting at user
Wyatt Peterson
you fucking retarded cuck OP posted a 6700k
THATS A NEW CPU WTF. PLEASE SHOW ME THE GREAT DEAL ON USED 6700k's
Robert Gray
ah bump me bro
Justin Cook
or im out of school and know common core = a fucking joke of wtf... yet my statement was 100% correct... an no wtf points to it...
Go kill yourself, 6600k ===== price LOL.. go get some friends...
Grayson James
so, based on your comment, what do you think about an SSHD as opposed to an HDD?
Camden Morales
you don't have to use CRUSE CONTROL people will respond to any point you make ONCE YOU MAKE ONE stop calling people retarded and contribute something useful
Ethan Powell
Funny thing is that PlayStation 4 is an AMD Apu based processor. But yeah for years everyone was like oh they're such shit
Oliver Thomas
Ya you really mine with that... a fucking $10 usb stick is 20X that machine now but... you mine... lawl.
Anthony Edwards
This board is 18+
Dylan Cruz
fucking little rich fags, with their daddies credit card money
Julian Jones
already made one, your just stupid please go kill yourself you low iq nigger.
Christopher James
I am not going to post my PC specs. I have a BIG DICK.
Jeremiah Jackson
and they are shit for gaming lol whats your point...
Jayden Phillips
Psu for the monitor? Bring your older brother who built this for you and we'll talk to him
Jayden Sanchez
Would of been a better choice.
Processor is way overkill for gaming, but you'll feel the limits of the 1070 as soon as you run a recent title.
I have a nicely overclocked 1080 and even that isn't as fast as I'd like it to be, waiting out for a ti version I guess.
Christian Taylor
user how can we help eachother if you just want to start fights
Caleb Hughes
>having games run without major game breaking bugs on release date is for plebs Kek. Whatever you say, user. I have a console for the shiny new games, and a PC for PC only and playing with friends.
Robert Thomas
lmao i wish i had a brother, or even a sister :\
Brayden James
Not a fan of SSHD to be honest, its a half ass way of saying..... i want alot of storage but make it fast.
Now days, i say any OS should be on a full SSD like my hyper-v is on a 1.5TB PCI-E SSD the rest are enterprise lvl HDD drives in a raid
When i build a client a system, normally i will go with an SSD for Main OS (samsung) 99 percent of the time. Then do an HDD data drive.
I am digging the new Seagate's But not a fan of their past lineup. The IronWolf looks great, but needs more testing time to see failure rates.
Josiah Price
you never had a i5 vs i7 before or don't use the machine I could use a i7 over my 3570k @ 4.5 ghz maxed out alot of the time between background stuff + 1 game...
Isaac Davis
You mad cuz I can mine crypto and play any game at 1440p 120HZ at the same time?
Brody Rivera
> 1440p 120HZ
not him, but is that the current best monitor specs? I was hoping for 120hz 4k but told it didn't exist
Gavin Garcia
by only posting if IQ > 80 and PC knowledge > I CAN PUSH POWA BUTTON.
Kayden Davis
Are you fucking kidding me? PlayStation 4 squashes any fucking bullshit you can build for under 3 Grand on a computer.
Xavier Diaz
um, unless you have other boxes lol wut... i was mining ltc like 4 years ago with a rig of 4x 7950s...
Jeremiah Ortiz
possible to be donated a war machine. prefer with wheels
Oliver King
should I get a 4k monitor for this spec or just a 1440p ... maybe the 1440p
Ethan Ortiz
No problem. AMD has really locked their stuff down under the new CEO. To cut costs, they only make one processor, sort them based on heat and power usage(less power=better, cooler=better) and instead of making a 6 core they cut two off from the 8 core. Which means they only need one manufacturing process/set of identical machines to make them. It lowers overhead, and allows for consistent quality between the variants.
I have a Phenom II 955 BE 3rd stepping running smooth at 3.8 ghz 1.5v. It's getting up there in age, any manufacturing defects would have been caused failure by now. I really believe that they have changed from the mid 2000's when they were blasting out shoddy Athlon dual cores and original Phenom quads that would die after a month or so of use.
Easton Cox
Best monitors are either: 165HZ 1440p with a IPS screen (ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q) Or 60HZ 4k with an IPS Panel
I use the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q. It's 144 Hz but with only a TN panel.
Expect 4k 120 HZ in about 1 to 2 years.
Jace Jones
...
Ryder White
wait for the i7 7000 to come out jan/ feb next year and get a 1080 instead
David Harris
Are you OP? 4k with a 1070? kek Like I said several posts ago, not even my 1080s SC is enough for serious 4k, let alone a 1070.
Jaxon Brown
get fucked BENQ makes the best monitors Google it fagget
Daniel Davis
I've only got an Antminer standalone. I just have a lot of computer parts lying around most of the time, and don't have to pay for my electricity. That's why I mine with my personal rig. Though when you could GPU mine BTC those were the days. Now I'm stuck mining Veracoin and trading it for BTC.
