Still not sure why nothing is popping up on monitors, though. Thanks for your help!

Speaking of wifi chat, a while back I posted this build, and GPU stock issues aside, I'm still looking into the other parts and slowly getting pieces in. I just realized tonight though that I need wifi ability, and my chosen motherboard lacks that. I cannot run wire as it's literally on the other side of the apartment, but the wifi signal is really good. So, Can any of you recommend a wifi solution? Since I haven't purchased the motherboard yet, should I be looking for a different motherboard that supports wifi, or a specific wifi card? Or something else I'm not thinking of?

If it ends up being the expensive GPU I am going to have an aneurysm. It's also a bit of a bummer; this was supposed to be fun and has ended up being mostly frustrating.

Before you give up, try the same thing hutzpuh needed and mash whatever the BIOS button is at boot. It’s probably f2. MSI boards apparently are really lovely at auto detecting where to send video, especially on first boot.

Pretty much guaranteed to need the cables that aren't modular though. That makes it practically $950 on the nose.

Seems like we go back and forth on it all the time too, but yeah, KingKapalone, the 550W should be OK, but the 750W SeaSonic would be fine too.

I recently swapped out a SATA M.2 SSD from my laptop for a bigger one, and was thinking of sticking it in the spare M.2 slot on my desktop's motherboard. This should work right? I have an NVME drive in the other slot, but I'm not sure if these M.2 slots are backwards compatible. Also, should I buy one of those aftermarket M.2 heatsinks? My other M.2 drive has a cover with a thermal pad on and it still hits 45 C, and this second one will sit right underneath my GPU's giant heatsink.

Pilfered Pallbearers posted:The 3070 is going to struggle in general at 4K. The 3080 struggles to roll 60FPS in some games at 4k with settings turned up (and why bother playing at 4k if you’re turning settings down)? Just to chime in and say I've got a 3070 and it works really well in 4k at 60 in the majority of cases. Games with RT might need those settings bumped down a little (or DLSS bumped up a bit), but it's great otherwise. Yes, you might not run everything at Ultra, but the increase in resolution is going to make everything look really really good regardless. You might need to bump your texture memory down from "ultra" to "very high" in some cases (I had to do this with Mortal Kombat 11). But otherwise, your games will look georgeous at that resolution. "Very High" presets are still, well, very high. And honestly, for some of those graphics presets you're unlikely to notice the difference unless you're doing Digital Foundry style side by side stuff.

I've spent the past week or so tweaking this build to replace my RIP Core i5 build from May 2012. What country are you in? United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland  What are you using the system for? Web and Office. Gaming (nothing too recent, Xbox is my go-to these days). To expand, I'll be reusing my current SSD, HDD ad GPU to keep costs down, but these are easily upgradeable in the future. What's your budget? As low as is reasonable while not shooting myself in the foot longer term. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor (£294.12 @ SmartTeck.co.uk) CPU Cooler: be quiet! Pure Rock Slim 35.14 CFM CPU Cooler (£24.66 @ Aria PC) Motherboard: MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard (£134.99 @ Amazon UK) Memory: Patriot Viper Steel 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£46.99 @ Amazon UK) Case: Fractal Design Define 7 Compact ATX Mid Tower Case (£99.90 @ Alza) Power Supply: Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply (£78.99 @ AWD-IT) Total: £679.65 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2021-01-15 13:20 GMT+0000 A few notes: 1. I know the Ryzen 5600x is overkill for general desktop use, but I'd like the option to add a newer GPU in at some point and not worry about the CPU being underpowered for gaming. 2. I know I could save by going for a case with less USB/older gen USB ports, but I want this machine to last me a long time so I thought it would be good value, rather than going for a Meshify C or something. I also know I could save on a motherboard that wouldn't need more/more recent USB headers. Trying to balance things out here. 3. I only have 8GB 3200MHz RAM here. My understanding is that 16GB 3600MHz RAM may get me a few more FPS in gaming, but since that's not my priority right now, I thought this choice would be a better balance for right now, and is easily replaceable down the line if need-be. 4. I know the CPU comes with its own cooler, but I'm told that a better 3rd party cooler will allow all core boosts when necessary, as opposed to single core boosts with the stock cooler. I'm happy for feedback on any of these components or notes. Again, I'm trying to spend wisely now to allow future flexibility, rather than save a few quid now. Thanks goons!

You could save some money by going for a Ryzen 3600 because the Ryzen 5600x looks extremely overpowered in that build. It's a great processor but basically pointless with the rest of it, and a 3600 would still do what you want it to now while allowing you to drop in a decent GPU in the future without bottlenecking it, unless you're going to be spending £500+ on one. If you told us what GPU you currently have and what you'd be expecting to drop in in the future, along with your targeted resolution and refresh rate, that would help. quote:2.

No. No-one is building a new machine with only 8GB of RAM these days, and it's so cheap that there's very little point in not getting 16GB. It's very beneficial for both productivity and gaming. Also you should always buy RAM as kits to make sure they place nice with each other so no it wouldn't be a great idea to drop in another 8GB a few months down the road when you could have spent the extra few quid to get 16GB in the first place. quote:4. I know the CPU comes with its own cooler, but I'm told that a better 3rd party cooler will allow all core boosts when necessary, as opposed to single core boosts with the stock cooler. For the 5600x I'd want to spend a bit more to get a better cooler, from reviews the one you've chosen barely cools better than the stock cooler. For the 3600 it would be fine.

Not that this is helpful to you now but you can get RAM for much cheaper; around black friday Amazon were selling 16GB kits for £50 and 32GB for £100. It looks like you're in an unfortunate lull between sales though but still it's absolutely worth the extra cash for 16GB now.

Helping a friend build a PC and I'm debating between a 3600 and a 5600x. I'm going to be loaning him a 1060 6GB for the time being so he can play games while waiting for probably a 3070. To start, he will just have a 1080p monitor. He will probably upgrade to a 1440p at some point during the summer. Games he will play: CoD, Apex, WoW, and definitely Diablo 4 when it releases. He has only PC gamed on a laptop before. Otherwise it has been mainly consoles for him. Any advice? I don't mind stalking the discords for the 5600x alerts, and I told him I would buy one when I found one. Trying to keep it around $1300-1400... And now that the 3070's have probably gone up to ~$600-650...

Depends on whether you want to the system to be more future proof and not have to gently caress around with an upgrade in a few years.  Also whether he wants to play at really high fps. If you were going to be using the PC for 4K, the cpu wouldn't matter so much because you'd be GPU capped anyway. But for 1080p and 1440p, there's a difference between 3600 and 5600x.

Does 4k medium really look better than 1440p ultra (assuming both viewed on native res)? I'd assume the additional detail was lost by the... turning down the detail sliders.

I did a scientific computing test with my new PC since that was the other use besides gaming. My old PC (i5-6600K, GTX 960) would run a python script with 6000 mesh points in a calculation and take 20 minutes to complete. It cannot do multi threading so the long computation time is expected. The new PC (5800x, RTX 3070) can run the script on the new CPU in 2 minutes! And I tried out the RTX and it can execute the same script in 40 secs! So overall huge gains when messing about with scientific computing. Not a surprise with the 8c CPU but so far I’m very happy with this build.

Hello. Can you help me? What country are you in? USA What are you using the system for? Gaming What's your budget? $600 ideally. Max $800. If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? My monitor is an old Samsung SyncMaster P2450. I run at 1080p 60 Hz. I currently have the following system specs: Processor: INTEL Core i5-3750 @3.40GHz Motherboard: ASUS P877-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 RAM:CORSAIR Dominator DDR3 1600 @16GB Graphics: ASUS GeForce GTX1050ti PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 SDD: SAMSUNG EVO 860 @1TB Case: Corsair Carbide Series 400R ATX Mid Tower. My goal is to be able to play any/nearly all modern games at near, close to near max detail as possible at 60fps or better on 1080p and/or 1440p resolution. What I would LOVE to be able to do is be able to play flight simulator games with a VR headset--however I have a feeling this is out of reach. I am not demanding on the level of detail in VR so long as it is mid range, if I can even achieve this. The games I play most or would like to improve their performance are: Jedi Fallen Order (and other platformers like the Tomb Raider series, Arkham series, and Shadow of Mordor/War) Star Wars Squadrons IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles series Sea of Thieves Warhammer: Vermintide II My current computer can play these titles, and surprisingly well, however the time is limited and things like stutters and hitching are a common problem in games like Star Wars Squadrons/Jedi Fallen Order/Sea of Thieves. I also make lots of concessions on modern titles' settings to play them well. I am not willing to buy a graphics card unless it somehow was an amazing deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, but right now my major bottleneck is the processor. I feel like I can get some good life out of the 1050ti still, even if I have to forego VR and I am totally willing to do that. My question for you, and where I am asking for help, is what are your recommendations? I have gone to PCPartpicker and looked at their $600 build and $1000 build but I am not sure what I should sacrifice or what I should go for. I intended on reusing my optical drive, case, monitor, and graphics card for the time being. This is a list of parts I have come up with, but PC Parts Picker said there was an issue with the MOBO and PSU in that the MOBO needs another 4 pin ATX connection when I input a Corsair RMx series as the OP suggests. Intel Core i5-10600K 4.1 GHz Crucial Ballistix 3200 MHz DDR4 @ 16GB Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler (need help here) Asus ROG STRIX Z490-E Gaming ATX LGA 1200 And as noted I need help with a PSU. Thoughts? I appreciate your help. dialhforhero fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jan 15, 2021 |

Side note: I was running VR just fine on a 970, so by the principle of number bigger I'd think VR would still be in your reach. I might be way off on that, though, and it was the original Oculus Rift so maybe the newer ones need more.

Where am I supposed to ask for help regarding the actual building of the PC? Yes, I'm an idiot. I haven't done this in forever. Some things I've forgotten and some things are totally new. I've never seen a PSU shroud or an M2 drive before. It's a Fractal Define 7 case, Corsair RM750x PSU (fully modular), MSI B550 Gaming Carbon Wifi mobo (I managed to flash the BIOS for my 5600x, yay!  )Can I remove the PSU shroud? Do I have to attach all the cables I might need before I slide in the PSU? Is there something I need to know before I mount the mobo? Or is it just placing it right down and adding screws? I seem to be missing an I/O panel too. It wasn't in the case box. A comprehensive video guide for dummies would be helpful.

The 970 was a beast and I think a lot of last gen and earlier titles still say the 970 is the “recommended” card
