| I built my first Micro ITX PC as a birthday gift for my brother. Posted: 13 Nov 2019 05:55 AM PST More pics and build list here: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/6bmqqs Benchmarks:
Details: The goal was to create a clean modern looking mITX build for my brother, who has a career in Industrial Design, as a birthday surprise! I know he is obsessed with design and aesthetics while also achieving performant functionality. He really liked the design of the black & white NZXT H210 so I ran with that as the build inspiration. This budget mindful PC is an upgrade replacing his old dying cyberpower pre-built.
Overall I'm ecstatic how well this build turned out! It performs really well and looks even better than I had hoped! Also a shout out to MicroCenter for having great deals like the 2700X for only $159 and the CPU & Mobo $30 bundle discount that brought the Mobo down to only $89! Edit: This is not my first build, just my first Mini ITX build. Here is my personal build: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/QknH99 [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is the trade-off of losing FPS for better visuals when going from 1080p to 1440p worth it? Posted: 13 Nov 2019 04:44 AM PST So I want to ask if any of you have experience with this. I'm mostly talking about losing FPS when you're trying to hit high refresh rates such as 144hz. In my scenario, I mostly play competitive games such as CS:GO, LoL, R6: Siege and the new CoD: MW. I'm planning to build a new PC using 5700 XT and Ryzen 3700 with 16GB RAM (3600 MHz CL 16). [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is (i7 4790K Used) still good for Modern titles today ? Posted: 13 Nov 2019 06:10 AM PST I have a z97 motherboard with 12 GiGs of RAM with GTX 1070. The only problem i am having is the processor selection for this old motherboard. I did find an (i7 4790K Used) here worth around ($205 USD). Just wanted to ask if it is really worth that price .. or should i just go for cheap i5s and i3s. (assuming the performance difference is not too much) ?? Any suggestions will be appreciated .. thanks .. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Just wanted to Thank this community Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:29 PM PST You guys are awesome in every way. I was fairly new into PC gaming and building but I have learned so much from everyone here. Even when I asked the dumbest and most obvious questions, I would still get a positive answer and i appreciate that. I had trouble deciding my parts but with the community's help here, I was guided in the right direction and ill be putting together my first build within the next couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone here for being awesome! [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Probable release of RTX 3000 series in June 2020 : Should we wait for it or go for black Friday ? Posted: 13 Nov 2019 01:12 PM PST Recently a few articles popped on the internet about a possible announcement in march 2020 and a release of RTX 3000 series card in june (here is an example: https://wccftech.com/nvidia-introducing-ampere-in-march-2020-releasing-rtx-3080-in-june-analyst-indicates/ ) TL;DR : The essential question of this thread is the following : If one would like to buy a high end GPU (say RTX 2080 Ti) is it worth to look for a good deal at the black Friday, or is it better to wait for the RTX 3000 ? Although the question is quite generic (and generic discussion are more than welcome on this thread) here is my specific situation : I am a PhD student in deep learning. At the lab I'm working at, there are GPU clusters to run our experiments on. However it happens from time to time that that all the GPUs are busy. Therefore I'd like to buy my own RTX 2080 Ti to be kind of independent just in case. Of couse, I would use it as well to game on it when it won't be used to train my models. I can afford a RTX 2080 Ti, and moreover, with the black Friday coming, I was hopping for a nice deal in order to get a RTX 2080 Ti for around 1000/1100€. However since this is quite a big expense I wonder if it would be better to wait for the next gen, especially because the RTX 2080 Ti is already more than a one year old (launched in September 2018). EDIT: The purpose of waiting is to buy a RTX 3080 (Ti), not waiting for the new generation while hoping that the current generation prices decreases [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 12 Nov 2019 04:07 PM PST I notice so many people posting, "help with build for my cousin." or "help with build for my dad." And can I just say, it is so cool to see our generous community trying to bring others in even when its 500+ dollars. I was inspired and am working on building a new PC with my neighbor. maybe it's just because we want a new steam friend to go on looting trips with, but I'm happy to be apart of it. <3 [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Nov 2019 01:05 PM PST I have a GSkill 16GB (2x8GB) DR4 3000 MHz C16 and I have a Ryzen 2600x and was wondering if there is really any benefit on overclocking my RAM. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Upgrading from 2015. Doublecheck my new build? ($1200-1350) Posted: 13 Nov 2019 10:59 AM PST I was planning on simply swapping out the CPU and GPU, but I got the "if you give a mouse a cookie" bug. If I wanted to upgrade my CPU, I'd need a newer mobo to do it. If I'm upgrading my mobo, I'd need to speed up the RAM. Now, I have a new build I'm almost ready with, but would love to have y'all double check it and make sure that I have everything right before I pull the trigger.

| I have 2 screens. Which one should I use? Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:10 PM PST I'm currently saving up for a good 144hz monitor, but until then I have to make a choice between the ones I currently have. Should I use a 13in 144hz screen that came with my laptop, or a 24in 60hz monitor. I'm going to be playing competititve games such as overwatch and csgo, so the 13in might be too small, but the larger monitor has lower hz. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| PC wont boot. CPU light is blinking Posted: 13 Nov 2019 01:15 PM PST Hello, Just got all my components together (except GPU) and after putting them all together I've got light on the power button on my MoBo but when I got to boot the PC the red CPU light blinks and it seems to constantly try to startup. Parts are: I9-9900K Z390 Aorus Master 16GB (2x8) 3600 corsair vengeance rgb Corsair RM650 psu I've tried re setting the cpu and made sure there weren't any bent pins. Tried various RAM configs and double checked everything is plugged in. I'm not sure what else could be causing it except a DOA CPU but I wanna make sure that I've tried everything else.

| My PC won't boot after cleaning it. Posted: 13 Nov 2019 07:57 AM PST I already posted something but i deleted it thinking it was fixed. I cleaned my pc and put it back together but now it doesn't post. Thr fans are working so there is power. The PC turns on for 10 seconds and then turns off, and turns back on for 10 seconds and repeats. On my previous post someone told me to reseat the RAM, i unplugged them both and plugged one back in and it worked. Then i plugged both of them in and it didn't work, and just tried out different things and some gave me a post and some didn't. Now i can't get a post no matter which RAM stick goes into which dimm slot. Ive tried all the possibilities but it doesn't seem to work now. Did me plugging it in and taking it out alot break something or is there a different problem.Thanks for any help [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should I upgrade to 5700 from rx580? Posted: 13 Nov 2019 10:32 AM PST As the title says, I'm planning on getting a new gpu soon. I have an r5 1600 cpu (might upgrade that soon as well but i haven't felt a need to yet) and an XFX rx580 8gb. I use a 144hz 1080p monitor and the only gpu intensive task I do is gaming. So is the 5700 a worth upgrade ? I don't struggle to run anything on the rx580 but now is the best time for me to upgrade financially. If not the 5700 then what is a worthy upgrade for around 300$ ? Let me know what you guys think. Obviously it will perform better then the 580, but is it the best upgrade for the price ? [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Been out of the PC game for 5 years, new work pc for gf new job at home. Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:39 PM PST Girlfriend is pregnant and just got a promotion luckily to work at home for half the week, I want to surprise her with a decent pc, she will just be using it for work but she wants dual monitors because I've heard her talk about how she wishes her laptop had two monitors. I can build it myself but I've only built gaming PCs and I don't want to buy parts she won't need because I am on somewhat of a budget. [link] [comments] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:26 PM PST my build is quite new and im having this kind of problem a few times. it happens randomly. No specific program retated (but mostly wen i play games).

| Posted: 13 Nov 2019 12:26 PM PST So I'm planning on getting a few upgrades for my new pc this Black Friday. I'll be adding 16 gb of ram to my current 8 gb and I'm looking for a new processor. I currently have a Ryzen 3 2200G and I can't decide whether or not to get the Ryzen 5 2600 or the 3600. Would the 2600 be alright for modern titles or should I just go big or go home with the 3600?
