Getting closer to pulling the trigger... Feedback extremely welcomed. Geography: Northern Vermont. Not a huge tech scene (no microcenter, or big repair shops) Case is an NCase M1. Also planning to grab an arctic accelero 3 for the 1080 and use 2 of the a12's to suck the heat out the bottom (other 120 is side intake in front of cooler). Use case is work/gaming. Work is self contained on a VM (I mainly do sql coding/support - vm is currently using 2 vcpu cores and 8gb on my 6700k), so I see no problems doing exactly the same here. Desires are dual M.2 (970 for boot, hp for storage). I was looking at asus x470/b450 I, but finding someone to flash is proving to be problematic. Asus x570 isn't out, and Buildzoid likes the one below. Works for me. I would like ddr4 3600, but I haven't found anything that really stands out with good timings that isn't approaching $500. I could be missing something though. Noctua says updated cpu compatibility in a few weeks, but I think the u9S should be good here. Budget is "Let's not spend all the money", so if I can keep it all below $2k, I'm happy. I have monitors, case and 1080ti already.

Stickman posted:Looks good! If you're interested in saving money, those CL14 are going to be an extremely minor performance upgrade (if any) for the $135 your paying over a CL18/19 3600 kit. Timings will give you a small amount of extra performance, but not $100+ dollars worth. I like the idea of the extra headroom the 3200 kit gives, but not the worst thought... I'll think on it some more. As far as the drives, I was looking at the random read/write since the samsung would serve as boot drive. Still.. They're close enough it's marginal. Maybe I'll do 2x ex950s and have the extra storage space. Thanks! I forgot to mention that I already have the PSU - came with the case I bought from a friend. It'll do for the time being, and if it causes problems, I can go bigger later. Thanks! Great feedback. edit: Llamadeus posted:If noise is a real concern I think the logical upgrade is the SF600 Platinum: it's more expensive than either but way quieter according to Cybenetics: See above. I had also heard somewhere that the Seasonic also had coil whine? something to think about when I get there.

Stickman posted:That's a good point! The Platinum is only $10 more than the Seasonic right now so it's much better value. I think my buddy had that issue, RMA'ed it and moved to a different system in the end (he has a bit of ADD in terms of buying tech/cars).

Disappointing Pie posted:Ok got all my parts in. Is there any particular guide people like I can reference while assembling this thing? It’s been about 5 years since I’ve built a PC lol. If you've built before, I can't imagine it has changed a whole lot. But hey, never hurts, right? Edit: generic amd build guide. Does not include procedure to flash bios. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FBzL7JLifw Beverly Cleavage fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jul 18, 2019 |

kcer posted:in the context of GPUs, is it a bit dumb to shoehorn a x570 for pci 4.0 into a build for someone who isn't a bleeding edge enthusiast? am i right in thinking there's only a couple cards than can currently saturate pci 3.0 at x8? There's something to be said about ease of flashing new bios or out of the box preparedness for zen2. Specifically in the itx world, no boards have cpu-less flash on any x470/b450 boards, and not all the manufacturers have released boards with a bios revision capable of first time boot for zen2 as well. In my case, I'll jump to x570 just for ease of install since I'm migrating from intel to amd.

Stormgale posted:Looking it up recently the https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/nHxbt6/gigabyte-x570-aorus-elite-atx-am4-motherboard-x570-aorus-elite Is a very solid board with VRM's if you want a basic board to stick your components into. I had chosen the x570-I for those reasons. Just had to put my build on hold due to other circumstances. Thanks!

Spacedad posted:What's people's opinions of this build: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/yTkdnQ That case, or something different? If you’re going itx /m-atx, IMO, start with your case, and build from there. For a 3900x, figure out the best cooler that’s compatible with the case and that motherboard and then work the compromises from there. FYI, the gigabyte cpu socket placement is different (higher) than others and can affect cooler fitment.

Spacedad posted:Probably something different. What other motherboards and cases would you suggest. Gigabyte is probably best itx board for the $$, just different socket placement can be an issue (see below). On a 3900x in an itx, you’ll definitely want an aftermarket cooler, IMO. Lian Li just released an itx case which looks pretty good and sounds like it can handle larger air coolers. Paul’s hardware on YT just did an update of the build with one. Ncase m1 can fit a 240 AIO with not too much extra work as well. I’m going to be building in a last gen m1 (v6 just started shipping) soon, but still figuring out the cooler situation for a 3700x (wanted to go air, with a noctua c14s, but the gigabyte board fouls the placement within the case.

Did you plug into your video card and not the integrated output of the motherboard? You should have something trigger the monitor on as it posts and then doesn't find an os.

Necessary to clear cmos because of failure to post/detect hardware previously?

I went straight to 2x16, since I'm in the itx realm. $230 for 32gb of tightly timed (3200 cl14) b-die is not bad.

You definitely don’t need a $400 motherboard for a bare bones 3600. MSI b450 tomahawk MAX (the max is important) will save a few pennies and supports zen2 out of the box. Maybe take a few of the saved bucks and get a 3600x?

This might be worth expanding upon the differences between AMD/Intel.
