Jestery posted:Two fold question. 1) It would be a 7600K if you were to buy one, not the older Skylake 2a) This is a two parter, so first, AMD's CPUs: Ryzen (AMD's new CPU) releases tomorrow, and the review NDA lifts. Literally wait until tomorrow (or most likely, two days) to see reviews on Ryzen. Bear in mind, they're only releasing their top-end 8-core products right now, which may not appeal to you anyway. For what it's worth, all the 'leaks' and other information indicate that the 8-core Ryzens will pretty much destroy Intel's high end gear in price/performance, but the quad core Kaby Lakes will most likely still take point in single thread performance. 2b) AMD's GPUs: Vega looks like it will be too little, too late. There was a conference yesterday from AMD, but they released exactly nothing. NVIDIA, on the other hand, have announced their 1080Ti will be $700, pushing their other cards down in price. NVIDIA seems to be unstoppable right now. AMD's GPU division is now in a worse position than the CPU one, kind of switch-around from the past few years. tl;dr: If you have a use for more than 4 cores, and your workload needs that raw power, AMD's Ryzen is almost certainly worth the wait. On the GPU side, unless you're buying low-mid range card like the Radeon 480 (which is down in price), NVIDIA's high end product stack is unbeatable, and AMD hasn't announced anything convincing enough to counter it.

I have a current system of : CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($456.50 @ shopRBC) Motherboard: MSI Z97 PC MATE ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($141.50 @ Vuugo) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card ($874.99 @ Amazon Canada) I'm going to upgrade to a 1080ti on release. I'd like to have a 2nd rig around the house for friends to use, I'll be putting the 980ti into that. I'd like the 2nd sytem to address my worries about being locked into a LGA1150 motherboard. What's the best bang for buck on opening up an LGA1151 upgrade path and throwing this 980ti into it? PS. I'm in mapleland.

Here is a quick build sans video card for the land of Rowsdower. I would normally go with a cryorig h7, but it doesn't seem to exist in the frozen north where you reside. The RAM is stupid looking, but the price is right. You could go with a cheaper case and power supply, but I hate going too cheap on those. Maybe this build for saving a money on those.

- What country are you in? US - What are you using the system for? Web and Office? Gaming? Video or photo editing? Professional creative or scientific computing? Mainly mid level gaming (streaming to a Steam Link for some local coop without studdering in the other room) - What's your budget? We usually specify for just the computer itself (plus Windows), but if you also need monitor/mouse/whatever, just say so. Preferably 600 max, minus Windows - If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution? How fancy do you want your graphics, from “it runs” to “Ultra preset as fast as possible”? I honestly don't know. Like I said, my plan is to stream from it to a Steam Link. Mid level graphics is fine. I won't necessarily play like DOOM on highest settings, but I wouldn't mind playing Rocket League without studdering. I showed a buddy of mine the builds in the OP, and his response was that they are outdated. Didn't really elaborate beyond that. He sent me this build. and I would like some feedback. CPU: Intel Core i5-7400 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($188.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H110M-A Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($57.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($54.99 @ B&H) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.98 @ SuperBiiz) Video Card: MSI Radeon RX 480 4GB ARMOR OC Video Card ($190.66 @ Jet) Case: Corsair 100R ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ B&H) Power Supply: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($33.99 @ SuperBiiz) Total: $626.59 "Now some info about this build. I got an i5 in there, but it's the smallest i5. Also that motherboard is poo poo and probably not a good idea to get a better one till you get a new CPU and it's not a great idea to get a new CPU till you upgrade it. So that's a complete replacement for both no real upgrade path. The memory is fine for what it is, but it's a bit slower than most would want 2400/2666. HDD is fine 1TB isn't too small and the read/ write is decent for price. The RX 480 is the defacto budget base GPU out there. The next tier would be the Nvidia 1070. Which is almost 2x the price. Also not sure if the 1070 would be at all limited by the CPU not sure. The case is honestly great. It'll be fine as long as you don't buy a cooler larger than 150mm like the hyper 212 Evo. The PSU is a decent brand and actually almost 100w more than you need ATM. It might even support a new Mobo and CPU if you're careful. However it'll need to be upgraded later. So all that to say this. This build is made within your budget not as an upgrade path. When you want to upgrade it's almost a complete teardown and replace. So keep that in mind. Theoretically you would drop down to an dual core i3 and get a better GPU maybe? In my opinion not worth it. More cored for better CPU tasks is what I'd want over a lightly better GPU. Also I quoted you the lesser GPU 4gb not the one you'd want at 8gb so add $20." Then he said some stuff about the new AMD chip coming out this week. I'm not at all versed in this (even after reading the thorough OP), so I guess my question is this: is my buddy's build better than anything in the OP with regards to my needs? Ideally, I would like to have an upgrade path so that once it's built I can just dump 1-200 in it per year and be fine. I don't know if that's possible, but it sounds like if it is, my buddy's build doesn't accommodate it.

He is right that the OP is a bit outdated. The main problem with that build is that the motherboard will need a bios update before the CPU will work. For most boards, that is a hard thing to do without a CPU. To avoid that you want a more recent chipset like h270. This is the cheapest one on pcpartpicker right now. It is mATX, but I don't see that as being a big problem for you. Maybe pair it with an mATX case too. http://pcpartpicker.com/product/93jWGX/asrock-h270m-pro4-micro-atx-lga1151-motherboard-h270m-pro4 $600 is a really tight budget though. Waiting to see how the Ryzen reviews look tomorrow is a good idea. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Mar 1, 2017 |

What country are you in? USA What are you using the system for? Gaming and media streaming What's your budget? $1000-$1200,but flexible for a major gain If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution? This may be what helps decide what parts to choose certainly for GPS, and is my main reason for posting here. I will be plugging this PC into a TV. I have two to choose from: 1. LG 55ec9300 - 55" 1080p at 120hz 2. Samsung un65js8500 - 65" 4k at 120hz I want to play games at 1080p and high settings, but I think most of the games I play will be indie titles and non AAA stuff, so I'm not sure if I should get a 1070 or 1080. I guess the Samsung would need a 1080 to really get good use, but yeah, I may just use the LG. Reddit has a build called "The end-all" that seems solid so I thought it maybe a good place to start.

Im getting into building a new computer, and one thing I don't get. Apparently Nvidia is destroying AMD right now, but how are they able to do so if one of their fanciest features, Gsync, is available in only a few either poo poo monitors, or huge expensive monitors? Freesync seems like such a better deal, and the market is so much larger. What is the monitor most people use for their Geforces? Im getting the impression that, if I want the best, I want at least 1440p, IPS, Gsync, and perhaps widescreen? Educate me goons.

Filthy Monkey posted:Sure. It might press all the prices down a bit though, to try to keep things competitive. At least, I can hope for that. Maybe it is just wishful thinking. Somebody who is looking at $50-150 Intel chips (like a $600 budget needs to) is not going to be comparing them to $330 AMD chips. Intel has no motivation to drop prices on the lower price chips where no AMD alternative is being introduced. But they have everything to gain by lowering prices on chips that are in vaguely the same price range as a new competing product.

Freesync seems like such a better deal, and the market is so much larger. As for adaptive sync technologies, my suspicion is that most people don't use either one. Freesync certainly has the price advantage though, as gsync monitors typically sell at a $100+ premium. As for good gsync monitors, yeah, you are typically looking at 1440p and IPS. The first real breakthrough monitor was the Acer XB270HU, as it combined all of those important features into one monitor. The updated version, the XB271HU, is similar. A super high end choice is the predator x34/PG348Q. Both use the same panel. You get ultrawide 3440 x 1440, gsync, IPS, and overclocking to 100 Hz. I am using one right now, and it is pretty sweet. That kind of monitor is out of reach for most people though. As for your average gamer, I would expect a lot of 1080p 60 Hz monitors, and cheaper korean overclockable 1440p IPS panels without adaptive sync.

I just bought a 1070 last night for $400 on newegg. Should I return it and wait for a price drop? I know the 1080 price drop is already announced, how long a wait do y'all expect for the 1070s new price to go into effect? Also where's a reputable place to get a windows 10 home USB for about $90? A key would be fine too, I can scrounge up a USB drive to put it on. Enderzero fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Importantly, it allows you to buy/use an overclockable CPU and faster RAM, both of which will really extend the life of your build. Edit: obvious improvements to your build are a better CPU, faster/more RAM, an SSD, and a better power supply.

Yeah, at the moment Kaby-X is looking a bit lovely, but I still remember seeing a details sheet that claimed that in exchange for it being a fancy IGP-less CPU that it'd have access to something insane like 44 PCIe lanes. Maybe in exchange for no IGP they're putting in a larger on-die PCIe controller to allow for twin 16x CF/SLI with 12 lanes left over for triple full-bandwidth Optane/NVMe drives.

Sorry to keep clogging up the thread with my posts. Just thinking more about my build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/6w2xNN) and have some questions. Mobo: I've got the msi z270 sli plus right now. I have no intention to use sli and while I know a lot of boards just have it, is this board more focused on that? Wondering if I should switch to the Asus prime or Asus Strix z270 board for a bit more? Any highly recommended boards? GPU : I've got the 1070 now, but I'm not sure if that's overkill. I checked and my LG TV can only do 1080 @ 60hz. I don't plan to buy a monitor, so should I just get a 1060 or rx-480? I want to be able to play AAA games at max settings. Last, I know you can't future proof, but I'd like to understand more about the typical hardware lifecycles with PCs. When I get this computer, how long will it be until games are requiring reduced settings more often than not to run at max settings smoothly? How will that be impacted by 1060 vs 1070? I know this question is broad, but I'm just curious what an upgrade schedule is like for a typical user. Can I expect 3-4 years out of this card? When I do replace, will it likely be just a GPU, or will I need a new mobo and processor to run the next generation of cards?

The only reason the board has SLI in the name is because it has two reinforced PCI-E slots. You don't actually need to SLI with it. The Asus prime A and AR do have a couple of upgrades. Mainly a better audio chipset. The strix boards are an upgrade over that, and are very nice, but cost even more. Asus does make some excellent boards, but they sell at a price premium. I do like their fan control software too. MSI/Gigabyte/Asrock typically compete more on price. For 1080p 60 hz, yeah, the 1070 is a bit overkill. There are some good rx480 sales going on right now, which would make it a good value for your situation. As for longevity, you can probably expect to need to do a GPU upgrade after two or three years to keep current. After another two or three years it will be time for a complete rebuild. Depends on how up to date you like to be. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Buy the 480, use it until you're playing games where there's slowdown at settings you want to have (2ish years perhaps) then sell it and buy [thread recommended 1080p card for 2019]. Honestly at this point you're likely to meet recommended CPU requirements, overclock included, for maybe 7 years. That's a guess, but unless there's a massive shift in games using multi-threaded processes (and this is largely hard in games and unlikely to happen much; you can't multithread many things) it will almost certainly be true. AAA games released today still recommend the 2500k.

You don't want to buy a z170 board, as it will require a bios update. If you want a comparable (actually slightly better) Asus board, look at the z270 prime a. You can get the same features for about $20 less with gigabyte/asrock/msi though. The only real reason to get a 212 evo right now is if you can't get a cryorig h7. It is pretty much the value successor. See https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/CRYORIG/H7_Universal/ The power supply you picked is a good unit, and would work totally fine. http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=446 You can save a little and get the evga G3, which is also a superflower design, and slightly newer. It has even better voltage stability, but slightly less efficiency what with only being gold rated. Also an excellent supply. Filthy Monkey fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Mar 2, 2017 |

Just to reiterate, I'm looking to play AAA games at max settings on a 1080p @ 60hz monitor. Basically I switched out the 1070 for an xfx rx480 gtr card. That variant seemed to have best reviews.

My brother wants a PC, and I recently build mine not too long ago. He mainly wants to game and does some music stuff. Not looking to OC or do more than 1080p gaming for now. Looking for feedback before settling.

whops totally put out my "dream" build instead of what I'm actually looking at: kind of just went off the list.. I dont know alot about pcs other than a long time gamer :p Trying to get it under 1200 but looking around price picker I'm not seeing much more I can change.

You want a z270 motherboard for the 7X00 processors. The 1080ti was also just announced at $700. Depending on your needs it might be worth considering given how deep you already are, or you could just enjoy the knock-on savings on the ordinary 1080.

Yeah, don't buy a video card until the new pricing gets pushed through in the next week or so. I preordered a reference 1080Ti  , and I'll wait a bit to offload my 970 in case the new card does something dumb. It's only a matter of time before I come back to this thread to refresh the rest of my build (i5 4690k)

Am I right in thinking I can't carry over my RAM (this kit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00N9PVXJK/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) from my current PC into a new Kaby Lake build? Something to do with the voltage being too high? That's really annoying if so...
