Huge_Midget posted:On the topic of cases, is there a go to full tower case that comes with at least six 3.5” HDD bays and a modern front I/O panel with USB Type C? It will be an air cooled setup, and if it had a 5.25” external bay that would be icing on the cake, but not necessary. The only ones I can think of are the Fractal Define R6, Phanteks Enthoo 719, and maybe the be quiet! Dark Base 900. There aren't a whole lot of cases with Type-C on the front panel and even fewer that support that many 3.5" bays.

IndianaZoidberg posted:I asked about building an Unraid server on the old thread, but I have another question. Those can be a good way to get into home servers but there are some things to consider. They will be loud since they're designed for use in a data center, especially 1-2U ones. Also replacement parts can sometimes be difficult to come by since they don't use consumer standards for stuff like the power supply and motherboard, you often have to find proprietary ones on eBay vs just running to Best Buy or Microcenter if something breaks. But if these things aren't that big a deal they're definitely worth a look. I know a number of people that have picked up old Dell Poweredge servers and love them. With regards to the CPU, just punch it into Passmark to get a general idea of how it stacks up on relation to others in Plex performance. General rule of thumb is that every 2000 points represents another simultaneous transcode. If you don't expect more than 4 streams almost any processor will be fine, having two CPUs would be overkill.

Cyrano4747 posted:OK, another question. I'm seeing some deals at microcenter for motherboard + processor combos. Is it worth the extra $30 to move up to a Ryzen 7 2700x from the Ryzen 5 2600 bundle? Be aware that the Microcenter "bundle price" of $30 off the mobo applies to any CPU/Mobo that you buy together assuming they are compatible with each other, not just the ones they show on their site paired together, it'll apply the discount once you add the items to your cart. Just so no one limits themselves because they don't see a bundle for what they really want.

BIG HEADLINE posted:I'd be a little Wait, what? Are you saying that it's stretching the board's capabilities? If you're not overclocking, any B450 board should be able to run up to the 3900x as long as you have at least a little airflow in your case. A 2700x should be no problem.

alphabettitouretti posted:I've got a HP microserver that's primarily used as a Plex server. It's doing fine for that purpose, but I'm thinking about replacing it with a more capable system that I can use for some games too. I'm gonna try building around a Ryzen 5 3600, but I haven't set up an AMD system since the Athlon days. So, coupla questions: The standard go-to board is the MSI Tomahawk MAX, it has a good VRM and actually effective VRM cooling. The MAX variant is designed for 3rd gen Ryzen out of the box and should be fine with any 3000-3200-3600 memory kit. The usual recommendations are Crucial Ballistix Sport LT, G.Skill Ripjaw V, or Corsair Vengeance, whichever's on sale for the best price. It is worth noting that, on most motherboards, if you use an M.2 drive it will disable 2 of the SATA ports on the board. It's also worth noting that unless you get a G series Ryzen processor you will need a GPU in the system to get any display out so keep that in mind if you don't already have one and you're not looking to run a headless system (I assume it will still POST even without a GPU but I honestly don't know if that's actually the case).

I'll look into the Asus B450 board in case I'll end up going with that over X570. Yeah, I find Buildzoid is good to consume alongside Hardware Unboxed. Between the two you get a good general idea of where the strengths and weaknesses of a board are and decided what's important to you.

Bank posted:Trying to figure out what case exactly I should get. I'm thinking about doing Raid 5 with parity (3 x 12TB disks for 24TB). I'm thinking about the NZXT H510i but under 3.5 it says "2+1" does that mean it comes with 2 primary and 1 "flex" space allowing me to use either a 3.5 or a 2.5? IIRC the 2+1 means that the 3.5 housing is built for 2 drives but it also has space and mounting holes on the top of the cage that you can add another drive there as well. You might be better served with many other cases though, the 510i requires you to screw the drives directly into the cage instead of using sleds, so HDD noise an installation are both worse than other similar cases.

Mu Zeta posted:The Thermaltake Core v21 is a square box micro atx. But there doesn't seem to be many amazing matx motherboards. As of x570 all the major board manufactures basically declared mATX a dead form factor so it's really just ATX or ITX going forward at this point (also EATX seems to also be getting more popular?  ). I was pretty bummed when MSI discontinued the Mortar extremely early in its lifecycle as it seemed both popular and good value.

Harminoff posted:A college near me is having a technology surplus sale tomorrow and I think I'm going to stop. Anything that I should look for? Are the desktops usually good enough that throwing in a video card/more ram will allow for light gaming? (Mainly Sims 4) It may not be the best way to get a bare bones gaming rig but it can be a good way to pickup a cheap box to use as a Plex/NAS/Minecraft server. My home server started life as a Dell Optiplex workstation that my work was recycling and has been a fun project. That said, you could probably run Sims 4 ok throwing a 1650 in it, they come in small form factors that make them easy to fit in non standard cases and they don't require the extra power that usually prevents prebuilts from being a gaming machine.

Killer_B posted:She's very unlikely to require more than web based mail and browser oriented games, which doesn't typically require a lot of power...I think the 2200g would be more than enough for her needs. This might be a case where you might want to just get a used USFF Optiplex off ebay. You can grab one with an i5 for like $100 and I'm fairly sure many of them also have wifi available if needed, are tiny, and should have more than enough oomf for what she'll be using it for and you can always upgrade the storage and memory yourself if she needs more. If you really want to build something new then I agree with Stickman, though I would say it might even be worth looking at the Athalon 3000g and save another $20 in addition to the 8gb RAM option he mentioned. I guess it all just depends on if she'll need Vega 3 or 8 graphics or if the Intel iGPU would be fine. Scruff McGruff fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Nov 27, 2019 |

Stickman posted:c) Cross generational motherboard compatibility means that AMD processors actually decrease in price. When the 3600 actually starts limiting performance, the 3700x will most likely be cheaper and they'll probably be drop-in Zen 3 options that might be more tempting. This is definitely one of the most appealing aspects of AMD right now. My last processor being an Ivy Bridge i5 meant that the socket was dead the day I bought it and the only upgrade was going to an i7. With AM4 even if 6c/12t starts handicapping in a couple of years I could potentially pick up even a 3950x for much less than launch price, or potentially a Zen 3 chip. Lots of life in the platform.

logis posted:Trying to decide on what to purchase, since I have decided to build a desktop (decided as of yesterday) and want to take advantage of Black Friday. Above looks like a good start. If gaming is a minor concern it might be worth looking for a GPU on the used market. An RX580 or GTX 970 can be scooped up for $80-$100 and should work fine for 60hz/1080p gaming. Any new card is going to run you at least $200 which doesn't leave much room in the budget for peripherals, especially a monitor. If you did want new then a 5700 or 1660 are the cheapest new options. EDIT: also, don't pay more than $20 for Windows, you can pick up a key from our very own SAmart for that much that work fine. Scruff McGruff fucked around with this message at 18:56 on Nov 29, 2019 |

Zernach posted:I was considering getting new a 27'' 1080p monitor since I saw some deals for those, but apparently that runs into issues with pixel density? Would that matter much in gaming or is that just a problem for graphics producers? Or should I just bite the bullet and add +100€ to my ~200€ monitor budget for a decent 27'' 1440p IPS monitor? To add to what Stickman said with my own experience, 1080p on 27" really isn't that noticeable while gaming but if you do literally anything other than game all the time on it you will notice it and it will suck. Reading the forums or working in Word/Excel looks pretty garbage. My recommendation is definitely that if you want to go bigger than 24" then you need to go 1440p, if you're fine with smaller you can find some really good 24" 1080p screens which is what I ended up going with. But yeah, the best way to shop monitors is to see them in-person because people's eyes are just wildly different, some people can't notice something that might completely ruin the experience for another.

Fabulousity posted:I was recently forced to upgrade my video card due to the death of the previous one and now I'd like to upgrade the rest of the system to go with it. I'm currently using a 4670K on an Asus Z87 Pro with 16 gigabytes of Corsair something-or-other RAM. If you're not going to overclock and you don't plan on using SLI then there's really no reason to go X470 over B450. An MSI Tomahawk Max has a good VRM and one of the better VRM heatsinks out there and is generally the go-to recommendation. It also avoids the possibility of needing a BIOS update. The Wraith cooler is fine for running stock but if you find it's too loud for you liking you could always go with and Arctic Freezer 34 or Scythe Mugen 5 Rev B cooler. The 3600 is a good value but there is some question how long 6c/12t will stay relevant so if you're fine spending the extra I'd just go with the 3700x, 8c/16t should be fine for quite a while.

Rookoo posted:My brother's got a system that I built some years ago with an I had almost this exact build until fairly recently. If his budget is really tight you can find a used i7-3770 for about ~$80 that'll double the number of threads he has. I noticed a significant performance bump when I upgraded to it from the i5, 4c/4t was a major bottleneck in some newer games like Farcry 5. Outside of that you're probably looking at a re-build, though. The 970 should still have a bit of life left and giving it a bit of an overclock in MSI Afterburner can really make it feel faster (though its real limiting factor is the amount of vRAM it has). A full mobo rebuild with the current recommended specs from the thread costs about $350, that includes -Ryzen 5 3600 ($180) -MSI Tomahawk Max motherboard ($115) -16gb DDR4 3200mhz RAM ($60) Dropping the 3600 down to a 2600 will save you ~$80 and he'll still see a good performance boost so that's a decent option to bring the total build cost under $300 and he can always upgrade later since AMD prices actually tend to drop over time unlike Intel's and supposedly Zen3 will still be on the AM4 socket (even if it isn't, going from a 2600 to a 3950x in a couple of years would still be a pretty big upgrade).

ItBreathes posted:Friend of mine went and bought this last night (3700X, 580 8gb, $850). Parted out it really doesn't seem to be a bad deal dollar for dollar, though you do get some of the questionable part choices endemic to prebuilts. It's still within the return window (if they don't screw him on the game code), so if I can guide him to a better system i'd like to. From what I can recall seeing on those is that, while games like Civ 6, Anno 1800, and Cities: Skylines do rely much more on CPU than GPU and love multi-core, the return is logarithmic. So while there are pretty big bumps going from say single core to dual core or dual core to quad core, going from 6 core to 8 core doesn't really have that big an impact. So technically yes the 3700x will outperform the 3600 but only by a couple of percentage points, not really enough to justify an extra $100.

DreadCthulhu posted:Are there any pre-made brands of PCs out there that are really great value, for those who don't want to build their own? I got an HP Omen desktop on a sale a couple of years back with all of the latest greatest specs for a bunch less than what your usual Alienware and iBuyPower were charging for the same rig. Curious if there are other makers whose margins are, unfortunately thin for them, but great for us consumers. Micro Center's in-house brand PowerSpec is generally good value when they're on sale (you're basically getting them at-cost) but likely they're in-store only so you're out of luck there if you don't live near one. I think Linus did a pre-built roundup about a year ago, I'll see if I can find the end results. Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRFEr3rAizY Their conclusion was that HP Omen and iBuyPower were the best value (and that HP's customer support was way better than iBuyPower's) but like Stickman said, this was almost exactly a year ago and a fair amount has changed since then so YMMV.

The PC will be attached to a 4k TV and used mostly for web browsing and streaming. Gaming wise I'd imagine the heaviest duty thing that might get thrown at it is Starcraft 2 (running at 1080). Those should both be fine. The 1050 might be preferable for an HTPC just because you can get it in smaller sizes and without needing additional power connectors which can lend themselves to small cases but if those aren't concerns then a 570 is definitely the more powerful option. Though IMO buying a 570 retail is silly, buy used and you can pick one up for like $80-$90.

I've personally used the Cooler Master GeminII M4 and it was easy to use but I'm not sure how well that install would go without taking the board out.

Even between the 3570 and the 3770 there was a lot of improvement, the 3600 was pretty nuts, if for no other reason then fan noise.

NickBlasta posted:Sounds more like an aging 7 install more than anything, likely formatting and reinstalling Windows would largely fix your performance issues. This could definitely be a good place to start. Windows 10 often performs better on older hardware than 7 does so it's worth upgrading, would also potentially resolve any issues caused by bloatware or junkware kicking around on your system. And moving to an SSD if you're not on one already will also give you a very noticeable boost. It's also worth considering picking up a 4790 used, a lot of games now seem to expect more than 4 cores so 4c/4t processors have been struggling while old i7 chips are still chugging along. The new Modern War is a good example, a lot of people with even 6th and 7th gen i5 chips are reporting performance issues (and IIRC even GN was seeing major stutter issues with a 9600k in RDR2) while my 3rd gen i7 seems to run it fine.

Ebola Dog posted:I'm thinking about building a new PC in the new year to replace my current system which is starting to get a bit old. In general mATX will cost you less since it's basically an ATX board with the bottom couple of inches chopped off, it doesn't require major redesigns by the manufacturers like ITX does. Since you're in the UK you have access to the MSI B450 Mortar MAX which is the best mATX board for AMD (and honestly is probably the best B450 board in general in terms of value) since the form factor is basically dead on x570 aside from a single Asrock board that costs over twice as much. It doesn't include wireless though, so if you need that you'd have to get a card separately. For case recommendations, a buddy of mine has an mATX build in a Thermaltake Core V21 that he really likes.

This is just to hold us over until we move to GCP and pay for some sweet sweet cloud hosting. I'd still probably recommend the MSI Tomahawk just because my perception of the 2700x is that it can get power hungry and some VRMs might struggle, but you'd probably be fine with something like the MSI B450-A Pro. For the case, are there any specific requirements you might need, like lots of drives, see-through side panel, high airflow, etc.? The Phanteks P400a starts at about $80 and is great for airflow and ease of use (recently won Gamers Nexus' Best Case 2019) and the NZXT H510 is basically the standard for "basic case". You could go with some of the barebones $30 Rosewill ones that will cut up your hands during install, be a pain to get stuff in and out of, and bend everywhere, but do the job, or something like a $50 Thermaltake Versa series or Cooler Master Masterbox that don't quite have all the features of a P400a or 510 but are still pretty nice and would serve as a server chassis just fine. Going the other direction in price, the Phanteks Enthoo Pro M is very modular, the Cooler Master H500 has some bonkers airflow, and the Fractal Meshify C is the thread's case of choice.

Songbearer posted:I've been using my HDDs from several builds across several years now and they're finally giving out. Recommend me some nice ones in the 1TB range? Non-SSD since my budget is limited. The standards are the Seagate Barracuda and the WD Blue, both are about $45 for 1TB but this is basically because that's the base cost of making a drive. It's usually a better value to look for bigger drives because the price doesn't scale linearly. Most of the people in the NAS reddits seem to agree that 4tb and 8tb are sort of the sweet spots right now. I've had success with Hitachi Ultrastar and Seagate Constellation drives which you can find for cheap (the 3TB drives I've been running in my NAS were had for about $50) but these are enterprise drives meant for data centers so usually don't have any sound dampening so sometimes they are very noisy. You're also much more likely to receive a refurbished drive even if the listing says "new" and even if you get a new one it won't include a manufactures warranty (usually because the drive is from like 2013). and while the big drive resellers like GoHardDrive are usually good about sending you an actually brand new one if you complain about it, you do run that risk so keep that in mind if you don't want to deal with the hassle or if you're storing critical data on these drives that you can't afford to lose (though you should be backing that up somewhere else if it's that important). Also a tip from the NAS community is to look for external drives that are on sale, you can frequently find these for less than the cost of the bare drive and just shuck them. This does sometimes require modification to a pin on the drive which others here have more knowledge of than I do. Scruff McGruff fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Dec 19, 2019 |

Tiers posted:Amazon has the 3600x for $199 currently as well which is a great deal. Micro Center has the 3600 for $170, lower than Black Friday prices. 3600x is $180 which is the usual 3600 sale price. You can get a 3600 with a Tomahawk Max and 16gb of Ripjaw V 3200 CL16 RAM for ~$320. Great time to buy. JoelJoel posted:Is the Dell 9010 compatible with an EVGA GTX 1050ti? If the card doesn't require any external power then almost certainly yes. If it does require dedicated power from the PSU then it's more complicated because some Optiplex's have a spare 4 or 6 pin power connector but not all of them do. Edit: Also, the Dell linked before would require a low profile card, which you should be able to find from a XX50 series nVidia card (and the low profile ones usually don't require extra power since it's assumed this is the sort of computer it would be going into) but it is something specific you'll have to search for.
