Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.1 speaker setup? Should I just get something from Logitech with 4.5 stars on Amazon?

What's the resolution? 580 will do Apex just fine at 1080p

I'm looking into building a new system for a relative, requirements are somewhat basic (browsing, online video, streaming of 2D poker games on twitch). Can someone point me in the direction of the right budget CPU? The quick picks in the OP are somewhat dated unfortunately. EDIT: This is something that seems reasonable to me and is within the price range: Case: Aerocool Gaming-Tower Tomahawk Red PSU: be quiet! System Power 450 Watt (80+) Mainboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2, AMD B450 CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 2300X 4x 3.5GHz RAM: 8GB DDR4-RAM PC-3000 (2x 4GB) GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX1650 4GB, Palit StormX Drive: M.2 SSD 240GB Kingston A400 Perhaps this would be an option if the integrated GPU can handle streaming: 1 x be quiet! System Power 9 400W ATX 2.4 € 40,99 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, 4x 3.60GHz, boxed € 129,90 1 x Seagate BarraCuda Compute 1TB, 3.5", SATA 6Gb/s € 40,90 1 x ASRock B450 Pro4 € 79,90 1 x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 250GB, SATA € 62,90 1 x Patriot Viper 4 DIMM Kit 8GB, DDR4-3000 € 53,99 1 x Sharkoon M25-V € 44,90 Incessant Excess fucked around with this message at 12:24 on May 2, 2019 |

I'm putting together an entry level build intended for general web browsing and some light (2D games) streaming on Twitch. I was hoping I could get some feedback on this configuration: PCPartPickerPart List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2400G 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (€129.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: MSI - B450M PRO-VDH Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory: G.Skill - Aegis 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (€78.89 @ Alternate) Storage: ADATA - Ultimate SU650 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (€41.98 @ ARLT) Storage: Seagate - BarraCuda 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€38.49 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case: Fractal Design - Focus G (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case (€49.90 @ Caseking) Power Supply: Corsair - VS 450 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Asus - DRW-24D5MT DVD/CD Writer (€14.90 @ Caseking) Total: €354.06 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-05-06 11:58 CEST+0200 The main thing I'm worried about is the iGPU being powerful enough to drive two monitors and stream games on Twitch (non 3D ones). Does anyone have experiences with the 2400G in this area?

You can also get it from kinguin and the likes for half the price.

I've never water-cooled anything, do those all-in-one solutions require any sort of maintenance or will they last me years without touching them?

I'm looking to replace my gaming PC that I use to play in the living room, here's what I'm thinking right now: Drive: ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2TB, M.2 (single drive for everything, this one seems to be a good mix of price and performance from the reviews) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X CPU cooler: Noctua D9L GPU: my old GTX 1080 till the 2080ti successor comes out RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DIMM Kit 32GB, DDR4-3600, CL18-22-22-42 MB: Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI (thinking I might upgrade the GPU twice in this build, once next year and then again a 3 or 4 years down the line, by which time PCIe 4.0 should(?) be beneficial) Case: Cougar QBX mini-ITX (one of the very few that fits under my TV) PSU: Corsair SF750 Platinum SFX (the only SFX power supplies that are more than 500w that aren't this one are a Silverstone and a Corsair 600w one, both only marginally cheaper) I kinda splurged on RAM and SSD but both are cheap right now and I'm hoping to not have to upgrade either for the lifetime (6-7 years) of this system. Any feedback on my selections and reasoning behind it would be much appreciated, I don't follow hardware news too closely so I may very well be wrong on some of this stuff.

One reason I went with the Noctua is that, unlike the wraith prism, it's a tower cooler which would allow me to do this airflow idea: basically taking air from the rear of the case and exhausting it out the front. For reference, this is where I intend to put it:

You might have an easier time fitting liquid cooling solutions in something like an NZXT H210, if the space you have in mind permits a case of that size.

There are other ITX cases that still allow for decent airflow, the Fractal Design Nano S for example let's you put a ton of fan inside, tho it is admittedly pretty big at nearly 29 liters.

Stickman posted:If you want to go all-out the Lian Li tu150 fits pretty much any gpu, but seems to be currently out of stock. The TU150 is the one I really should have mentioned, seen a ton of people use that in the SFF space and a really solid case by all accounts.
