idiotsavant posted:I've been gaming on console for the last bajillion years and mostly using a chromebook. I think I'd like to put together a decent gaming desktop - Escape From Tarkov looks pretty fun in particular. I'm not looking for a specific build right now, more just a realistic target budget to save towards for the next 1-3 months. I'd rather land on the slightly more future-proof side of things compared to the more budget/faster obsolescence side if possible. Given I need everything including a monitor, is something like $1500 a reasonable budget, or does the monitor push things up more? The big x factor there is the monitor, as it can affect the other requirements but they can also range from a decent 125 to a grand if you go nuts. 1500 is pretty good though. You can easily adjust or get upgrades later too. Things like a second monitor, larger SSD, and mechanical keyboard if you wanna go down some rabbit holes are easily put off till later.

Stock disappeared pretty quickly, but it looks like some marketplace sellers have it back up for $85 now.

Statutory Ape posted:2 things There's a Samsung 860 1TB SSD for $149. I'd probably be willing to pay that extra for it vs my planned setup but I do keep a lot of photo's/videos around. Most of the GPU options at that price range are pretty bad. Thread said high VRAM was good so I went with it since it was the cheapest 8GB VRAM I could find. The site's doing a sale for a RX590 8GB (Gigabyte Radeon RX590 8GB Graphics Card (Rev 2.0)) so I can grab that instead. It's been so long since I've played anything resembling modern games on my PC so I'm a little out of touch with sizes. I've got an portable hard drive I can move stuff to in the worst case though if I need to shuffle things around though.

Here's a bunch of good ones: Scruff McGruff posted:Most of the $70-$120 mid-tower cases will fill these requirements so take a look at some of these and see if any jump out at you.

Another cost effective option if you're satisfied with your current case other than the fan noise would be just replacing the fans. I recently replaced all the fans in a very elderly PC with Noctua NF-P12s and it made a massive difference.

My old computer's blue screening. And I figure rather than check piece by piece to figure out what isn't working, I have a job, I'll just replace it. I have seemingly-working RAM (2x8 sticks from 2016, I don't mind buying more if that turns out to be the issue but it's passed brief memtests and I'm running a longer one now) and I'm fine hanging onto my old GTX 970. I have two brand new SSDs and an old case that'll fit everything because it's a full form factor. So I figure I need a new mobo/cpu and a power supply and that's it. Am I missing anything obvious compatibility-wise here? PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA G1+ 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply Questions I have: 650 W going to be enough power? There's no reason I can't use my old RAM, right? It's DDR4 3200 so it doesn't seem to have obsolesced yet but I'm really awful at figuring things like this out. Realistically, I don't give a poo poo about overclocking or anything, I've never needed to eke out 10-20% more performance to actually run something. I'm happy to just turn graphics down if I really need to. Am I aiming too high on the specs given that? I'd love to be able to just not worry about anything until a part mechanically fails, that's basically my only aim to "futureproof".

Also, since you're going with a 2000 series Ryzen chip you don't have to go with a MAX board, you could see if anyone has a non-max Tomahawk for a discount and pick that up.

Fwiw you're basically building a machine I have myself (identical psu even, same Mobo except the matx non max version ) I don't use it a ton as an actual PC but it's been extremely reliable as a Plex etc server. I do game on it occasionally and it's been very good in that regard as well, not a ton of difference between an Intel i7 imo Also I feel like swapping your PSU in your current build has an 80% shot of fixing your problem , if you're gonna buy one anyway and keep .. basically the rest

Bit of a long shot but does anyone know if the Arctic Freezer 33 eSports edition with the double fans will fit on an ASRock B450 itx board with Crucial Ballistix ram? Is the double fan even worth getting to cool a 1600AF? It's going in a QB One so I'm worried the stock cooler might not be much use.

Anyone else run into random cold boot issues? I usually turn on my computer and go grab a drink or something and when I come back the computer basically crashes. Once in a while I'll see some graphics errors in the system event logs, and once last night it got stuck on the BIOS loading screen (this is a Tomahawk Max on the latest BIOS). I turned off the hibernation setting (not sure what it's called now) in Win10 and it hasn't happened since, but it looks like there are quite a few reports about this motherboard coming back from standby and crashing..

Doubling up the fans boosts static pressure. A tower like that, with a narrow stack of not particularly dense fins, really doesn't get much from the increased pressure. Air gets through pretty well with just 1 fan. Arctic tower heatsinks aren't awful, but their main virtue is cheapness. I had one when AM4 first came out and other companies were slow off the mark to get AM4 support, it was fine. Though I did put a different fan on it. Buying the esports edition with black paint and 2 meh fans that increase noise without much cooling improvement seems like a waste. Or if the epsorts edition is the exact same price as a 1 fan version, pull the 2nd fan off and keep it as a spare.

it’s been a while since the last time i’ve built a rig, so i’m just double-checking for any brands to avoid with any of the major components or brands to look out for? G.Skill has some solid memory as far as speed/price goes but i don’t know if any of these brands have had their reputations/quality change since building last. thanks for the case recommendations by the way! definitely like the look of the fractal and the cooler master. i realize it’s probably overkill but i like the peace of mind that comes from having some solid fans moving the air around, i have a coolermaster... sniper i believe is the name, and its got a 120mm top, and a 200mm on the front and bottom so it’s weird seeing cases without any fans(as far as i can tell) Bob NewSCART fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Jan 14, 2020 |

I see what you’re trying to do here and this varies from component to component to a degree. I personally like EVGA for PSU and GPU because they have really good warranty and service Even some of the same companies depending on product line should be avoided or praised, etc. Mostly, though, sticking with a name you know like asus, evga, msi, gigabyte, etc is a safe bet if the stuff has good reviews and fits your price tho. Feel free to ask about individual components here or in the component specific thread, ie gpu thread etc.

Does anyone here have any firsthand experience with putting an EATX board in a Fractal Design Define R6? According to Fractal Design’s website it should fit just fine, but the particular ASUS TRX40 motherboard I’m looking at apparently has a large active heat sink on the VRMs that interferes with the top mounted 140mm fans in the case. At least that’s what I’ve seen from one of like 3 reviews at Amazon and Newegg (which I’m guessing were written by the same person judging by the almost exact same wording of both reviews).

I was mostly asking because it seems the one fan version is end of life and the Arctic page no longer sells them but links to Amazon where they don't have them either, and most other places are now out of stock too or are selling them at crazy prices. The two fan is still in stock however. They seem to have been replaced by the 34 but that's too tall for the QB one. I might just grab an H7.

Zedd posted:Got all my parts and starting assembly tomorrow IMO no, there's really no reason to reinstall Windows 10 regularly like past editions of Windows, and as long as you stay up to date each major feature release (the twice yearly ones where the version number changes) are essentially a total refresh of the OS. Keeping data on separate partitions does nothing to prevent data loss in case of drive failure. Win10 also has a built in "reset" feature which keeps all of your data but nukes the OS and apps. If you really wanted to go down this route it's cheap enough that I'd just recommend buying a 256 or 512GB SSD for the boot disk.

Not entirely on topic but I have to send my whole tower back for a motherboard replacement and they sent me a box with a lot of empty space. I know the components are static sensitive but will I gently caress it up if i pack a load of plastic around the outside of the case for protection?

Hi thread, I'd like to mine the hivemind; sorry in advance for a long post. Looking to set up a Mid-high end rig for gaming, along with some video editing, potentially streaming, and generally being able to run a bunch of poo poo at once as needed. What country are you in? Live in Taiwan. Also go to Japan a lot and will be checking prices for parts there in case somethings notably cheaper. What are you using the system for? As noted gaming, video editing, etc. Also want to be able to run stuff at good speed and keep it quiet since the SO and myself share an office and don't want to inordinately disturb her. What's your budget? Looking at ~1500 USD equivalent for the rig (but can afford to go a bit higher as needed; not all that price sensitive because to hell with money aye), also need monitors (two, one real big one, or one bigger for games, etc. along with a smaller one perhaps? I like having two monitors for excel fuckery and the like). If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? How fancy do you want your graphics, from “it runs” to “Ultra preset as fast as possible”? Don't have monitors yet but need to consider these questions and open to suggestions. Would like to have some high refresh stuff for games. Basic parts I have are as below. Went checking local physical stores in Taiwan and the prices I see are reasonable. Storage, memory and case will be picked from whatever's reasonable in stores/online. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply These are all part of a package. CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition 42 CFM CPU Cooler Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X TRIO Video Card Chose this because it's apparently super quiet which sounds good. I chose the MB basically just because they have some package deals on CPU, MB, and power supply which I spot checked a few prices and the packages seemed cheaper than the combined prices online from PC part picker. Was looking at Ryzen 5 3600 before thinking to swing it for the 3700X so don't have the 3700X prices on hand but based on feedback going to go back and update with the prices I've got. Also in Taiwan you can haggle sometimes so might get a bit cheaper. Also, I get a compatibility alert on PC part picker: quote:The Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS (WI-FI) ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it. I searched a bit but see opinions on both sides: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1101768-x570-additional-4-pin-power-connector/ Should I get a new/diff motherboard and power supply? Stores here stock virtually only MSI, ASUS, and Gigabyte so if there's any recommended in their lines I'm all ears.

Hello everyone. My old computer is roughly five years old now and I flat out can't play new games on my rig. At least not anything AAA. I'm going to keep it for data storage or maybe give it to a kid. I thought about buying a new computer from one of the big box stores, but I'm interested in putting together a new one from scratch. Sounds like an adventure. What country are you in? US. What are you using the system for? Gaming rig for AAA games and uh...Audiobooks I guess. I want to be able to play Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes out at at least high quality graphics and my rig can't do that. Poor guy. If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? How fancy do you want your graphics, from “it runs” to “Ultra preset as fast as possible”? Don't have monitors yet but need to consider these questions and open to suggestions. Would like to have some high refresh stuff for games. My current monitor runs 1920x1080 with a 60 HZ refresh rate. Honestly, I'm not too picky about graphics so long as the thing runs. Not that I don't want it, but if all you've had is truckstop coffee, you don't understand what it is to drink a nice cup that isn't over-roasted to hell and back. Too used to potato quality to be frank. If I don't like what I've got now I'll drop money on a fancy new monitor and run both at the same time. My budget is in the $1300 to $1500 range, though if I could get it closer to $1300 that would be nice.

Lots of cool walkthroughs and links on this site to cool stuff and that probably saved me some cash. Also probably going to pick up office, but that won't be part of the budget as I can get that whenever. - $10. And that's about it. I'm not really married to any part in particular if I can get the same quality and reliability for cheaper. This is baby's first PC build and save for about four hours of youtube tutorials on how to put a computer together and what does what, I'm not very educated about hardware. Software I can do all day, but hardware is a hole in my skillset. I'm interested and I want to tinker though. I'm currently hovering over a selection of parts and looking for deals on them. I'm going to wait for about two weeks to a month before I actually build this thing so if I see a good deal, I'll grab it. So if I can get this to sub- $1300 through patience and diligence, that would be great. Current price of everything on my list along with what I've bought is $1263.62. With tax I'm going up into the 1300's. So if people can help me shave prices down without sacrificing quality or keep me from making stupid mistakes, I'd appreciate it.

My processer is an Intel(R) Core (TM) i5 - 6400 CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.71 Ghz. I assume that since my computer is about four years old now that some of these parts might be good for a budget computer, but that's it. I also figure I should upgrade RAM from 8 to 16. If I can get away with monkeying around with my current rig and squeezing a few more years out of it, that'd be great as I can apply that money elsewhere.

The k63 keyboard kept causing my Xbox controller to not work on my last machine. Insanely frustrating and took awhile to diagnose. Not the only person to have the issue either. https://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=177551

Not the only person to have the issue either. Ah yeah I would never have noticed that probably. I specifically and only use that kb for gaming. Any other function is done on a Logitech k400 Does it do it for ppl that have the official ms dongle too?

LimburgLimbo posted:Hi thread, I'd like to mine the hivemind; sorry in advance for a long post. Looking to set up a Mid-high end rig for gaming, along with some video editing, potentially streaming, and generally being able to run a bunch of poo poo at once as needed. 3700x along with a 2070 super will push 1440p with turned up graphics no problem (whenever you choose your monitors). I actually just bought this exact setup (CPU and that specific GPU) and I absolutely love it. The card is definitely quiet. If you plan on streaming or multi-tasking with processor hungry applications, definitely get the 3700x. For CPU cooler I bought the scythe mugen rev B and it's also very quiet. If you are going for ultra quiet CPU cooler the Noctua NH-D15 is probably the way to go. For PSU's we usually recommend seasonic's and a couple of the corsair models.
