| I know this is a little off topic, but does anyone know where I can buy a webcam (US)? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 11:04 AM PDT Seems hard to believe that every single site I can think to check is sold out. I found one or two on NewEgg that are shipping from China.... but that doesn't seem very plausible. I know this isn't exactly the right sub, but I couldn't think where else to ask. Need one for my child's school, and I ordered one two weeks ago from Logitech (that said it was in-stock) but have gotten no updates response to any inquires. I suppose they are completely shut down. Thought I'd do better ordering directly from a big company... guess not! At any rate, if you've got any ideas, I'd love to hear it. Thank you.

| I have built a PC in the most drawn-out way possible, and it's now finished! Posted: 28 Mar 2020 11:44 AM PDT I started out in PC gaming back in 2015, when I moved in with a friend of mine, who let me use his old PC. When it wasn't up to snuff for the games I wanted to play, I went and bought one from iBuyPower at my local Fry's in 2016. Its specs were as follows: Intel i5-6400 w/ stock Intel cooler MSI B150m PRO-VD motherboard 8GB (2x4GB) 2133Mhz AData XPG DDR4 RAM 450w PSU (don't remember the brand) GTX 950 GPU 1TB WD Blue HDD 1 DVD R/W drive Some proprietary case that time forgot Now, after four years of upgrades, I have, in order of what I replaced, GTX 1070 EVGA 600B PSU 32GB (2x16GB) 3000Mhz Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM 1TB WD Blue SSD 500GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD Corsair iCue 465x case Corsair Commander Pro (fan hub) ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Ryzen 5 3600 Arctic Freezer 34 eSports DUO 1TB Sabrent Rocket Q M.2 It's like that thought exercise of "if you replace every piece of a ship... is it still the same ship?" Except these parts are significantly better than the previous parts, and this PC is definitely not even remotely the same PC as before. And in all I spent about the same amount of money building that one (a little more than $1000, partly due to the GPU being pre-owned, and the rest in getting almost everything else on sale) as the one from iBuyPower cost me. And I've been very happy with it! I'm hoping it will last me a good long while, and since I'm gaming at 1080p, I think it will. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 Mar 2020 11:23 AM PDT She has a budget of 700$ but has told me that i'd be nice if it could be a bit cheaper. Purely for gaming and wants to atleast play at 1080p with consistent 60fps. PCPartPicker Part List

| RTX 2060 shows 3% GPU usage while playing warzone. Posted: 28 Mar 2020 12:36 PM PDT Basically since this Morning my 2060 has been only using 3-6% of my Gpu while in game. I used to get around 120-160 fps and now i get around 90. Not sure what happened over night. any tips? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hows my 1440p 144hz gaming build? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 01:47 PM PDT Any advice before I buy the parts for my first build? My budget is 1900 euros. The monitor has already been bought. Also the GPU is 547 euros. PcPartPicker can't seem to find it.

| First time using a 1440p monitor, a little confused. Posted: 28 Mar 2020 06:53 AM PDT Hey, so I recently bought a BenQ EX2780Q. I'm a little confused with the resolutions, I have the options to run it at 2560x1440 144hz or 3840x2160 60hz. From my understandings, this monitor is 1440p. Why would I have the option to run it in 4K? Sorry if this is a dumb question. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 28 Mar 2020 03:01 AM PDT Sorry if this is the wrong sub, but I don't know where else to post it. I want to build this monitor setup on a single monitor arm (vesa 100), but i can't fnd the right one, as they all need a different height. Wall mounting isn't an option, as the walls can't handle it. Do you know a monitor stand which is suitable for this setup? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Looking for a CPU and SSD for my PC Posted: 28 Mar 2020 07:21 AM PDT My budget is 150€ for both of them (maybe a bit or more), my mobo is a Gigabyte H110M-S2H (the socket is LGA 1151) and I'd like a CPU to play videogames on mid-high quality that aren't very demanding e.g. RB6, League of Legends... and an SSD for the OS and some low-size programs, my CPU right now is an I3-6100 and I'm looking for an upgrade, I was thinking on buying for 44€ a Kingston SSD 240GB and for the CPU and I3-9100F for 77€. Don't know if there are better options, some feedback will be welcome :) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What’s the difference between a 2070S and a 2080? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 08:29 AM PDT Very frequently I see comments about a high end 2070 S is more worth it to buy vs a 2080. Also a 2080 is more expensive than a 2070 S. Im just curious as to what you'd actually see different performance wise. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| First time building a PC. Is my build OK? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:51 AM PDT I will use it mainly for programming (java, R, js, maybe python and machine learning). I have 4 monitors so that should work too. Even though I haven't play for a long time, I guess I would play occasionally. An would really love to connect it to my TV + play controllers. Is it even a thing with PC? How can it be done? Price doesn't really matter, but I am looking for value (paying some premium is OK though). What's also important to me is that PC should be as quiet as possible. Here is what I got so far (I am in Europe so prices are different for me): Case: Fractal Design Define 7 CPU: Ryzen-3900x RAM: G.SKILL Trident Z Neo 64GB PSU: Seasonic PRIME PX-750 Platinum CPU cooler: Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 SSD: CORSAIR Force MP600 GPU: Used 1080Ti from local alternative of craiglist for now, hopefully 3080Ti when it comes out. What do you think? I am a bit afraid that something goes wrong when I try assemble it, did I miss something? Edit I forgot one important detail - I will be running Linux. Are there any parts to avoid from my list? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Can I install Windows 10 Education on its own? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 11:05 AM PDT I'm trying to build myself a new PC and my college provides "Microsoft Windows 10 Education (Multilanguage) - Download" for free. I was wondering if this is a way I can get Windows 10 on my new PC without having to pay for it? Does that work and are there any differences in downloading I should know about? Also I don't have a lot of knowledge of PCs so sorry if I need to ask for a lot of clarification. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| SSD compatibility with z400 workstation Posted: 28 Mar 2020 10:49 AM PDT First off, apologies if this isn't the best place to ask. I have an HP z400 workstation that I'd like to install an ssd in as my boot drive. As the board doesn't support SATA 3 natively I understand I'd need to use PCIe. A person in this thread appears to have had success using a PCIe SATA control board. I have found what I assume to be the same thing here - am I correct in thinking this will work? Assuming it would work (and I have the mounting screws and a 2.5-3.5 adapter for the drive bay) is there anything I need to look for/avoid specifically when selecting the ssd itself or will any 2.5" ssd work? Finally, I'm looking for a ~500Gb drive, any recommendations? Thank you in advance [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| is a 450W psu enough for R5 1600X & RX570 8GB? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 09:49 AM PDT So i've got a corsair cx 2017 450w psu and I was wondering if it would be compatible with a ryzen 5 1600X & the RX 570 8GB. It shows that the estimated wattage of my entire build on PCPartPicker is 435W. I know for normally tasks my PC will run fine but if I play a game like COD Warzone, will I run into some issues?

| Posted: 28 Mar 2020 12:50 PM PDT LG 27GN750: 27 inch (1920x1080) IPS display 240Hz refresh rate 1ms response time* MSRP: $400 LG 27GL850: 27 inch (2560x1440) nano-IPS display 144Hz refresh rate 1ms response time* MSRP: $500 *This is an advertised response time. I saw a test for the 27GL850 that measured a consistent average response time at around 4.08 seconds on the "Fast" option (there's a faster option too). 1.) Based on the specs, and all other factors being the same, would the 27GN750 yield a faster response time on average, due to, say, the lower resolution and higher refresh rate? I plan on using this monitor for competitive gaming. I'll be playing first person shooter games that are capped at 120 frames per second. 2.) Would the 240Hz refresh rate be unnecessary or would it still make for a better experience than the 144Hz option? I'd prefer the higher resolution option, but not at the cost of a competitive edge. 3.) Is a 4ms response time fine? Or will it put me at a signficant/noticeable disadvantage to people with a 1, 2, or 3ms response time? [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My colleagues say that Intel is better suited for a workstation than AMD - is this true? Posted: 28 Mar 2020 12:49 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Music production. I'll be using the following software: *Ableton Live 10 *Omnisphere *Kontakt My goal is to have many different tracks, plugins etc. without having the PC slowing down. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? €1000 In what country are you purchasing your parts? The Netherlands. Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please).
Provide any additional details you wish below. I'm having some minor succes in the music industry and I'm putting the extra money I've earned into better equipment. Most of my connections / colleagues that I've asked for help say that Intel is the way to go and that AMD won't do well for music production since it has a "lower clockspeed". I only know my stuff when it comes to music software, not so much when it comes to hardware. I've been doing some research and this build seems good for my purpose, but my colleagues keep bashing AMD. I have no prior experience with AMD, so it's hard for me to tell. Could you guys please push me in the right direction? Extra information: Since this PC is purely intended for music production I won't be needing a beefy graphics card (I think?). I have an old one lying around that I'll be able to use. I've got an SSD and HDD lying around aswell. I also want it to be as quiet as possible since I'm planning on recording audio in my studio. Thank you so much! [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
