| Is a 1660 super and a 3600x a good combination? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 04:58 AM PDT If I look online for this question people are saying the CPU will be bottlenecked for gaming. I don't plan on doing high end gaming so would this be okay? I would be using the pc for other things as well as gaming which is why I've chosen this cpu. Does this makes sense or am I not understanding something? Edit: Thanks for all the comment, they've really helped me decide. I'll most likely be getting the 1660 super with the standard Ryzen 3600 and a cooler if needed.

| Finally ordered my PC parts!!! Posted: 27 Oct 2020 11:03 AM PDT I've wanted to build a pc since I was 15 (I'm 24 now) and I've been in a cycle of homelessness and never having enough money. I've finally got a place with enough room for a setup and after saving the past few months and researching the latest parts I've ordered my first ever gaming pc to be built by myself. I could not be more excited this feels like a childhood dream come true. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice along the way and reviewed my build. Everything should be coming Thursday I could not be more excited. Pc master race here I come!!!

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 11:28 AM PDT I've been building computers since the late 90's when I was a wee boy. But last night... I really think I have outdone myself: Nothing like troubleshooting abnormally high load temps on your fresh new 240mm AIO, spending hours researching message boards only to find some off-hand comment that sends you reeling from your desk in disbelief and shame, desperately searching for the discarded plastic layer somewhere on the floor... you surely were not so stupid to leave it on the heatsink... But no... you fool... this is who you are now. Ironically, my shame is replaced with joy after removing the defiled plastic, since I now can stop entertaining the idea of having to RMA myself into a depression. So I re-seat the cooler, a bit more evenly this time as well. Boot up windows... 90C?! 95C?! 100C?! FML. Oh. Forgot to plug in PWM header... This is who you are now... Happy ending: under 70C during prime95 torture at ~50% fan speed [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Could you check my build (3070 + 5600x) Posted: 27 Oct 2020 04:56 AM PDT Hi. Could you check my build and give your thoughts? I'll use it for gaming, recording, streaming, and video editing. I'm trying to only spend $2000 ($1500USD) after tax. Here is the build, the cpu will be the Ryzen 5 5600x with stock cooler (it's not on pcpartpicker so I'm saying it here): [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 04:58 AM PDT I'm currently planning on upgrading my last piece of my new build and I could use some suggestions. Currently my new build consists of: Ryzen 3 3100 AsRock B450M Pro4 Gigabyte 550W 80+ Bronze Masterbox Q300L (bad decision here I was tight on budget) GTX 950 (to be replaced) Because of my stupid decision to rush the case, I picked the Q300L and learned that oh boy the airflow is not too great but I'm stuck with it for the long haul. So I'm wanting to replace my GTX 950 with something a bit more future proof with a tight $300 budget if possible and of course the new GPU has to have great thermals with it being in an oven. Any recommendations? I prefer Nvidia as I've used it all my life but I'm not opposed to Radeon as long as it doesn't heat up my oven even more. I plan to play the latest CoD, and have my system ready for Diablo 4, Halo Infinite, the new CoD, and WoW Shadowlands right around the corner. 1080p only though.

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 10:11 AM PDT Back in 2015 I built my PC with a R9 390 that I'm still running today. It cost the regional equivalent 350 of USD and that card along with the GTX 970 were tied for "the top end card for normal people" You had new cards all the way from the sub 250 dollar range to the 500+ USD. The 550 USD GTX 980 was what people considered the beginning of the enthusiast tier GPUs. Now I haven't kept a close eye on the GPU market since building my PC way back when, and I've only now thought of upgrading since new consoles means AAA games are no longer tier to the trash PS4/XB1 hardware from 2022 onwards and I'm a bit stunned by what I see. Now it seems like everything is at least 100-150 dollars more expensive across the board and new entry level and mid range GPUs are nowhere to be found. Am I wrong in thinking the 300 - 350 dollar GPUs available today do not offer the same value proposition they did in 2015, especially for those upgrading from cards like the GTX 970/R9 390 or GTX 1060/RX 480? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills entering a world where 500-700 USD is the new normal price for a "decent, should last you at least 5 years" kinda card? I thought I would upgrade my GPU this year but I think I won't be doing that until I see a card better than the Series X GPU at <350 USD [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My brother was hyped about buying a prebuild PC for 300€. I told him that ain't happening. Posted: 27 Oct 2020 06:56 AM PDT Okay, hear me out. I built my PC last year with a R9 3900X and a 2080S (all in all 2100€), he got my old PC (2015, 600€). My brother is 8 years younger than me. I'm 21, he's 13. It should be obvious that he doesn't have a lot of money just to throw out of the window. So when he told me he wants to buy a PC so he can play all that fancy games that I play (pegi 18 btw but my father doesn care) I had to grin and told him that I will support him as good as I can. Which I am definitely going to do, we don't buy prebuild we build it ourself! Since I know PC parts quite good I know that playing on an APU.. Is not your dream. But here comes the problem. He said he only wants to spend 300€ on a whole PC with GPU and everything. I told him that ain't gonna happen, he won't get all parts for that price. If he just wants to game high end I would help him out and give him money to buy a new console, easily big money worth of parts. He now claims I know nothing of PC's and sends me different 300€ PC's with claimed HIGH END PERFORMANCE on an almost daily basis. The sellers must know better right??? I told him if he really wants to build a budget PC he should at least have around 600€, sweet spot would be 1000€ - 1300€. He thinks I'm just dumb and he knows better. That infused real doubt into my head... Can he be right? Is it possible to build a (1080p 60- 120fps) PC for 300 bucks? I thought Linus, Steve and DerB8uer said something else. Which vid. can I link him to proof my point? He's beginning to be really good in English and is keen to learn the language by watching english vids (so double plus if I had any) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Anyone with a 3080/3090 that didn't get a Watch Dog Legions code? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:22 PM PDT Hey guys, this sub helped me out a lot so I wanna give out two Watch Dog Legion codes I have. I'm under the impression only those with a card can redeem it right? If you don't have a code but have the card, post here and I'll randomly select 2 to get 'em. Edit: You must have the card in your build to work, please don't try to take this opportunity away from others. I will be asking for pics for proof.

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:46 PM PDT So I have been wanting a graphics card for my system and was wondering if I should go with the rx 580 or the rx 570 that is $30 less and is a strix card that has rgb and better aesthetics. Both cards have 8gb of vram. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081N2V1KJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IEhMFbJ8T14VD) [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Building a budget rig for my brother for Christmas Posted: 27 Oct 2020 09:34 AM PDT Hi there! For this Christmas, I wanted to surprise my brother (15) by building him a gaming pc. I felt that this was overdue given that earlier in the year I built my own rig and I built a new family computer since the old one was almost 8 years old, which my sister (12) now uses for gaming. While I had built these 2 rigs, my friend was the one that actually provided the parts for me, he gave the parts list, and then I built it. However this time I wanted to do it fully on my own so down below is the parts list I plan on using for his rig, let me know what yall think! I asked him what kind of games he would want to run and he mentioned that he wasnt interested in playing AAA titles so I gave him a lower end GPU to cut costs. Really hes only interested in playing lower end games like Minecraft and Among Us. CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 Motherboard: ASRock A520M Micro ATX RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 3.5" 5400RPM GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 TI Case: Darkflash DLM 21 MicroATX PSU: EVGA 400W OS: Windows 10 Home [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Whats better max resolution on max settings 1080p or slightly lower settings but on 1440p? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 01:13 PM PDT Was just curious to hear your guys take, I would assume 1440p is better cos of the sharpness and more pixels but would it be the case if I lower some settings in order to hit high fps??

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 09:02 AM PDT Have all the parts coming in tomorrow and the GPU is the last thing I need to buy. Was considering the 1660/1660TI. My monitor is 1080P and 144 mhz. Power Supply is 550pw. Does anyone reccomend the 580? Worried about bottlenecking since it's a couple years old. Main games I play are PS2-PS3 Emulators, Rogue Company, Nier Automata, FPS games.. JRPGs.. Waifu simulators etc. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Computer not turning on anymore Posted: 27 Oct 2020 03:10 AM PDT Hey guys. So I'm at a total loss here after trying to problem solve this myself and I'm struggling to figure things out through other threads. A couple days ago my computer randomly turned off while I was playing Monster Hunter and will no longer turn on. After talking to my friend we came to the assumption that this was a PSU problem, so I replaced my EVGA 500 PSU with a EVGA 750 PSU and when I attempted to turn it on I got power to fans and a little bit to the mobo. Great, I thought, until I hooked up everything else and it wouldn't turn on again. And I was getting just flashes of light to the mobo so, then, I thought it might be the MOBO having an issue. So, probably stupid of me to not ask here first, but I just decided to upgrade from a basic Tomahawk to the Tomahawk Max and just now I got everything hooked up. I tried to turn it on and my power button flashed for a second and then turned off again. Another attempt to turn it on resulted in nothing. No light flashes, no fans, NOTHING. Now, I don't know what the heck the problem is.... https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T7BdDx This is my basic pc part list, but as I've mentioned I've changed the PSU and the Mobo. Any tips for what the problem is? This was my first build so I have no idea what could be affecting the power like this. idk if the cpu could be the issue or the gpu or what... Could it be dust? Or did I hook something up wrong? AM I JUST AN IDIOT?? probably. but idk, I would appreciate some help. :( Picture of the Inside Please excuse the wire mess... Cable management has been in the back of my mind until I figure this out.

| Which 2060/S to buy in late Oct 2020? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 06:54 AM PDT Which 2060/S to buy in late Oct 2020? Pls dont mention - "3070 or new Radeon is coming out in few days" I dont have to patience and money to buy it. Therefore, I just sold my used 1660S at close to original price and need better GPU. Currently, I play on 25" 1080p 165hz ASUS but in the next 2 years will upgrade to 27" 1440p 144hz something. So, I need a GPU (2060 or 2060S) that has these priority checked (in order of importance)
Please list and advice. Thank you my good dudes. [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hoping to get a AMD Ryzen 5900x on release day, Motherboard suggestions? Posted: 26 Oct 2020 11:41 PM PDT Pretty much what the title says, I'm hopefully going to be able to get the 5900x on launch (if I haven't used all my luck up getting my 3080) and I'll need to pick up a motherboard to accompany it. Is there a certain board which is considered "the best", or that will complement the CPU best?

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 05:38 AM PDT I got an intel core i5 661 and my pc is pretty old and the CPU is overheating. Now I have like no knowledge in this field so I got zero clue as to which cooler to get. my max budget is about 75 euros. I hope someone can recommend a decent cooler that will help me!

| Looking for 3x120mm fans for intake with the CM TD500 Mesh. Posted: 27 Oct 2020 12:14 PM PDT I finally built my PC and everything is perfect except for the 3x120mm ARGB fans in the front of the TD500 Mesh that make a continuous clicking noise even at low speeds... I tried searching this issue on Google and, as I expected, I'm not the only one having this issue. I don't want to return the case, too much hassle putting everything back in order again. It's a shame that this case has this problem because I mainly bought it for the three preinstalled fans and 100€ total seemed a good deal. Now I'm looking for 3x120mm airflow fans replacement. What are the best alternatives? I would like to spend no more than 40 MAX 50€ (half the case price), but less is better, so I think Noctua is out of the picture. I also would like them silent enough. Thanks in advance. EDIT: RGB is not required.

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 02:25 PM PDT YO. So I am planning to build a PC really soon. And I was wondering if the B550 motherboards ( Specifically b550-e by asus) are good for ryzen 5000. Because I am thinking of either getting the 5600x or a 3700x. As well as a rtx 3080 when they come back in stock. I wanted to know if the b550-e would be good enough because there is an ongoing cashback campaign and was thinking of buying it but wanted to check before I regret anything.

| How are you guys getting 3000 gen cards? Posted: 27 Oct 2020 06:53 AM PDT I check various stores online every (except eBay) and they are ALWAYS out of stock. For the guys who had 3000 gen cards, how are you guys even getting them? I'm getting a little impatient and grumpy with not being able to buy one...

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 05:39 AM PDT I built this PC 3 years ago with my brother, yesterday the monitor randomly started looking like this. Is it a problem with the video card or something? Thank you for any help you can give.

| Posted: 27 Oct 2020 06:51 AM PDT This is probably a stupid question but does every graphics card have the same connection beacuse I currently have a gtx 1660 and I want to upgrade to a rtx 3070 so do all graphics card have the same connection to the motherboard [link] [comments] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need a bit of advice, been out the game too long. Posted: 27 Oct 2020 02:19 PM PDT Hi guys, I've had the same rig for about 4-5 years now.
Now I've just bought a 3440 x 1440 Monitor at 144hz, I can only get to 100hz and I think its my GPU that won't allow any further Refresh Rate. So I went and bought a AMD Radeon 5700 XT off the bounce hoping it would solve the problem (In the post haven't recieved it yet) I'm not sure if this will even solve the problem yet, I'm hoping it will but we'll see. Now, whilst i'm on an upgrade streak I used to hear the word Bottleneck quite alot when I was an avid PC Enthusiast but since I've had a family and work is none stop at the moment I rarely get much time to myself. I've found that not going to the pub anymore, or going out and about half as much as I used to I've realised I'm spending more and more time in front of the computer and constantly playing games. So my question is, I know that I'd have to upgrade my motherboard if I was to upgrade any of the CPU and RAM, with my new GPU coming would my entire PC with these specs be holding me back significantly? Or should I be okay for a few months? Thank you all for reading. [link] [comments] |
