Gonna ask one last time before I start ordering stuff. How does this look for 1080P 144hz gaming? The video card is a placeholder for now, I'm not certain I'll be getting the 5600 XT or just something similar. Waiting to find a good deal on reddit. And regarding the RAM, I do a lot of music production so I think upgrading from 16gb to 32gb would be a welcome upgrade. I'm also a dumbass who for some reason wants RGB ram, and as far as I can tell its only $5-10 more. Going from a 2016 razer blade to this so I can't wait to get it built, my laptop has really been lagging lately  I haven't built a desktop in at LEAST 8 years.

CL16 non RGB ram is the same price as your RGB CL18 and has actual benefits! But you can probably spend an extra $10 to get both if so inclined. System looks good for 1080p high refresh rate otherwise.

Have: Node 202 ASROCK b450 ITX Corsair SF450w PSU 2200g Noctua l9i 1650super 16g 3200 ram Sabrent 1TB NVME 2280 42" LG 1080p 60hz tv also: Quest 2 via remote desktop My immediate want is for HL:Alyx and Squadrons to run better in higher settings, for Cyberpunk to play better at higher detail. The 2200g and 1650 super i bought early 2020, as it's been a long time since I played any pc games and really just wanted to play Tekken at the time. Since I got the Quest I am VR crazy want to play full quality VR games maxed out and this hardware isn't cutting it (it wasn't bought to). I am thinking 5600x and 3060ti but of course they barely exist. I could probably also stomach a 6700 XT if it is ever released, and maybe then I could skate by on my 450w PSU? Money isn't really an object except in the sense that I don't want to flush it when I don't have to. I'm generally patient but I've definitely been looking at a 3700x which would only be a small premium over the MSRP of the 5600x. Just because it's available

Finally got around to parting this out. I'm extremely out of the loop when it comes to PC components and don't have a great idea on what the best price/performance specs are for things like RAM. I'm in the US and this system is going to be used almost entirely for gaming at 1440p and/or high refresh rate once I get a new monitor. I think I did well with the speed and CL on the RAM. Everyone keeps telling me you still don't need more than 16GB and it took everything to not go more overbudget and get 32GB. Is that really still true? Is the stock cooler for the 5600X okay or should I get something better? I'm also not entirely sure on the fan situation with the Meshify 2 but that's probably mostly me being overwhelmed by case selection. Of this stuff below I'm really unsure about the CPU cooler and RAM. PSU to an extent as well.

Stock cooler is also just fine, if kinda loud. Again, not a huge deal to swap out later as budget permits if it annoys you or you want to mess with overclocking. Rest of the build looks solid.

I'm in the US and this system is going to be used almost entirely for gaming at 1440p and/or high refresh rate once I get a new monitor. Overall it looks like a solid general choice of components, although I'd make a couple of points. You don't need 32GB RAM right now for gaming, as only one game in existence exists to take advantage of anything more than 16GB (MS flight sim). I've said in the past that it's cheap enough that going for 32GB isn't the worst way to spend some extra money on your build, although RAM seems to have been creeping up in price lately such that I'm not sure that's good advice anymore. I got 32GB of decent RAM on sale for €100 which was an easy buy, but especially in your situation, I think there's a few areas you could spend an extra hundred bucks and see a lot more tangible benefits to your system. I would definitely get a CPU cooler of some description. You've got the Arctic Freezer 34 as a budget option around $30-40 depending on if you go for the single or dual fan config, then for ~$50 you've got the Scythe Mugen 5, the Fuma 2 for $55ish and the Noctua NH-U12S at $60. I would also not bother buying a new HDD in TYOOL 2021 unless you absolutely positively need that extra space, especially as you said you'll be bringing forward some older storage anyway. Could you lose the new 2TB drive and upgrade to a 2TB SN550 instead? Looks like the Meshify 2 comes with 3 140mm fans anyway which honestly looks fine in that case, assuming a decent CPU cooler too. 750W is plenty for a 5600x and 3070 build, however that specific PSU has a 2 star average rating and terrible reviews on newegg with a lot of people talking about it being DOA. Gigabyte aren't known for their PSUs, I'd spend a bit more and get the equivalent from EVGA or Corsair. Finally, your case has a front USB C port but your motherboard doesn't have the header for it.

From only outside watching, Ryzen was the game changer for AMD. They fixed their power draw problems that the FX series had (always said to be faster than Intel and cheaper initially, but more expensive in the long run). I remember there being some caution about going all in on recommending the 1st gen Ryzens but once the 2nd gen hit I saw everyone kinda accept that it was for real.

(This could be total bullshit, I don't post or go to reddit much, it's just the impression I get) Thank you so much for the advice. I'm still waffling on the idea of going 2TB nvme SSD (+$100 is a bit much) but you are right about one thing: I absolutely don't need any more HDDs. Worst case scenario I can take another of my HDDs from my old PC to the new build if I think I'll need the space. That or I can just stop installing games and not playing them. Truly an impossible situation. I know back in... 2012 or so when SSDs were just starting to pick up steam as a consumer product you basically never wanted to buy anything that wasn't from a big brand like Samsung, Intel, etc. Is that still the case? I'm curious because I found this 2TB https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0896SKCDY?tag=pcpapi-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1 for $30 less than the WD 2tb. It looks to have good reviews too. Either way, I'm still undecided on this particular upgrade yet. Reviews on the PCPartpicker site for that PSU were good so I'd never have considered checking Newegg. Thanks for that. I went and found a corsair that seems well reviewed across multiple sites. Noctua's color scheme is... interesting. I honestly can't tell if I hate it or love it. That said, I think the ARTIC Freezer 34 is more in line with what I want right now. Something better than stock but not necessarily something for overclocking. I read through the spec sheet and I thiiiink my new mobo has a header for USB C on the front panel but honestly I can't be sure because USB's naming scheme has been maybe the most confusing part of all of this.

ADATA is not a bad storage manufacturer. It's a little slower than the WD SN550, but not by any degree you'd be likely to notice, so it's not a bad place to trim the budget.

I'm of the opinion that you don't take risks with your storage, and people who follow SSDs seem to still be of the opinion that if it's not WD, Crucial or Samsung it's not worth the risk. Also the SSD you linked isn't cheaper than the WD one right now, it's actually $15 more expensive. Then for me there's still the sticking point with 2TB NVMe drives that they're still more than double the price of 1TB ones.

Nah, ADATA is a storage manufacturer of note, though I don't know anything about that drive specifically. They're all using nand and controllers produced by a third party anyways. As someone who went the HDD for games route, I concur on going all SSD, the load time difference becomes very annoying very quickly. I also agree with the recommendation to put a better PSU in what is a high end build; something with a 7 or 10 year warranty.

I took that to mean my thinking about "needing" an 850 were wrong.

I would have gone 750W but I needed an SFX PSU and the 750s were out of stock for the foreseeable future. My power draw was calculated as ~474W on PCPP and with mild undervolts it's more like 400W.

The header looks like this.

I'm pretty flexible and would like to stay under $1000. My goal is: 1440p gaming, to have a quiet cpu, and all the parts be compatible and fit in the case that we have. The second drive was mostly for additional storage. The nearest PC store is a 3 hr drive so I want to make sure I order everything I need and not have to buy spare parts if needed due to issues.

Bin the extra HDD and don't bother with the pointless expense of a PCIe 4.0 NVMe right now, get a 2TB SN550 instead. Don't spend $200 on an 850W platinum PSU when a gold 650W would be more than enough for your components. Don't get an X570 mobo, it's another pointless expense unless you can specify exactly what you'd gain over the B550 chipset. Finally don't buy a fuckoff huge 360mm water cooler for the 5600x, it's absurd overkill and with the pump noise actually louder than better and cheaper air cooler options. You can spend around a third of the price to get an excellent and quiet cooler for the 5600x in the Scythe Fuma 2, or the NH-U12A or NH-D15 if you want to spend the better part of $100.

If anyone has guidance on which cable to use to do that — run from 2 x USB A on the case front to a connection(s) on the mobo (not the header connector, unless that linked one would do both which I don’t believe that’s the case) I would certainly appreciate it.

Looks like even Intel's newest launch will be beaten by the 5950X, so AMD is having their moment for the decade. My previous builds were 2012 and 2013 (mine and my dad's respectively). I thought Intel was the default choice since around 2007 and the Core 2 Duo days? Ak Gara posted:The front of my tower is clean AF but jesus weeps at the rear panel. I got a super tower to have excess room and yet I'm running out of room. So many cables placed in a literal pile and I'm not even finished yet. How many components do you have inside the case?

Butterfly Valley posted:Bin the extra HDD and don't bother with the pointless expense of a PCIe 4.0 NVMe right now, get a 2TB SN550 instead. Thanks, switched to the Fuma 2, and the 2TB SN550, and going to read up on a mobo/psu option now.

I have this mobo https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/TUF-GAMING-B550-PLUS/ with a 3 pin Aura Addressable Gen 2 header and 2x RGB headers. I have a fan that has a connector that looks like one of these  Is it supposed to connect to the 3 pin ARGB on the mobo or something else? It says connect to header on motherboard but it doesn't look right and google gives me a lot of people trying to plug into 4 pin which isn't what I am trying to do.

Holy gently caress. Good luck with that!

Hopefully it makes sense. Though I've seen 10600kfs for $175 at Staples from trays/unboxed and wasn't sure if that price changed the math for thread recommendation over the 3600. It'd be about the same build for the intel. Using an old i5 750 system I put the 1050 and psu I bought Jan 2018 which I'm thinking of reusing, though I was thinking of getting a new gpu like the RTX 3060 at some point down the road.

1080p 144hz is going to be a struggle with that build. 3600 is good but the 1050ti ain’t gonna cut it most likely for anything recent.
