But someone in a local PC store reminded me that I wouldn't be able to run big nice graphical games.You can run everything with a 3000 euros laptop.
Would the GTX 1080 have good FPS on Rome And Attila? Cause I really want a monster PC as these next gen games are coming out in 2017.It's the nuttiest graphics card out there right now (besides the Titan)
I'd be sure to get an 80+ Gold or Platinum Power Supply to provide some reliable power to those high end components. Also be sure to have a very nice cooling system, including multiple fans on the case to help circulate the hot air. It's paramount that something like that doesn't overheat, lol
Are you going to be going with 144hz monitor(s) or no?
I have an AMD atm. Never again!
i do not know how to describe it in English but the graphics look like there is a bit of dust on it. Also i cant even play warband with max graphics without a good fps. Etc. Lags a lot.I have an AMD atm. Never again!

You can see my system in full here: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/pTbj4D (https://pcpartpicker.com/b/pTbj4D) It has older components because I bought the CPU, motherboard and RAM last July from a friend when he was upgrading to Skylake. Chugs along fine, though. Replaced the well-aged HD 7850 with the amazing MSI RX 480 Gaming X and I can't hear the thing anymore. The fan doesn't run until it hits 65 Celsius.
Why the two mini SSDs and 3 HDDs? Did you get a good deal on them or from a friend or something? You should probably get another 8GB of RAM at some point too, but it's not a bad rig. Was it cheap?
Also lol @Squirts with his 750W PSU for a GTX 950
Plenty of room to upgrade though
Thinking of upgrading my GPU (currently EVGA GTX 950) sometime soon but I'm a bit limited by my PSU (Cosair 430W)... Any suggestions? I'm eyeing the GTX 1050ti right now.

Quick question: Anyone have any decent budget builds from 600-1000? Should I go for Ryzen?
Definitely go for Ryzen if you can.
Quick question: Anyone have any decent budget builds from 600-1000? Should I go for Ryzen?I am very interested in seeing Ryzen succeed. However, the results are a little disappointing. So I would say wait until they work out some issues or avoid Ryzen if you want a new system in the near feature.
Buy Ryzen so I can get intel cpus cheaper ::)
I need to get a new desktop, have a budget of £800-£1000, but I'm not very technical so I kinda need some help. I figured I'd just choose out of these two:
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/guide/dNj48d/great-intel-gaming-build
https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/guide/yDFfrH/great-amd-gaming-build
Which of these (if any) would you recommend? Are these complete build guides with nothing extra I need to get other than Windows and a WiFi Adapter? Cheers :)
The only demanding thing I'll be using it for is gaming, I'm not into CAD or anything like that.
I want to record YouTube videos and max out any game with a good amount of FPS.I can do that with 1 GTX 980 using Shadowplay, so still not sure why you need 2 of them.
I'd get a 3TB HDD for your videos, as they won't matter as much and will fill up space fast if they're high quality. The 1TB SSD should be fine for games for a while, assuming you don't install every single game you own.
I think the power thing is on about the connections from the PSU to the twin GPUs, as depending on how many extra things you have (maybe sound card?) you might fill up all the slots. I'd check where the sound card draws power from and count each individual slot.

Thanks for explaining. I will let a friend who studied it build my PC. I'm a total newbie at it. I have a 2TB HDD used from an other PC. So I guess that's also plenty. The main thing is I don't know which sound card to get. Money should not be a problem. Can anyone suggest a high quality one?
Cheapest would involve things which cannot be condoned on this website. Not a particularly safe option though.
Edit: No idea about sound cards tbh, the inbuilt one has always been enough for me
Oh well I have a new build but thanks for your feedback I will look into that shortly. This is my new update. Also included a Sound card.
I might replace EVGA with MSI. As EVGA is not quite known in Belgium. :c

Thanks for the link-saw Kinguin but looked a bit suspicious. Slightly more expensive here but the buyer protection comes with it rather than an optional add-on that Kinguin charges for: https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/product-category/windows-10/Bitcoin mining, its become a bitch for the market.
I have another question: I bought an Intel i5 7500 but I'm not sure whether I need to get a fan or if I can get away with the one it comes with? Most demanding thing I'll be using it for is gaming and I got a GTX 1080 for it (kinda annoying, I wanted to get a 1070 but the prices have increased considerably in the last few months).

200 pounds, that is quite tight. try to get any 1440P monitor with 144+ hz with IPS panel.. if your budget allows it.no way, that would cost around £450+.

Yep your right.. market sucks.. but for 200 pounds a 1920x1080 144 hz TN monitor is possible.. their 24 inch.
So something like this maybe?No, I don't recommend that for gaming, it has a slow IPS panel and only 60 Hz, try to get a 120+ like 144hz gaming monitor. they cost twice as much but def worth it for gamers believe me.

Probably a retarded question but do I connect my graphics card straight to my monitor? It's currently connected up via HDMI from motherboard to monitor.If it's a >60hz monitor then you'll need a displayport cable to get the higher refresh rate. HDMI is capped to 60. This needs to go from card directly into monitor. It also has to be enabled via the settings but I forgot how to but it's not very hard.
Okay, so I should just pull out the HDMI motherboard to monitor and have displayport from my graphics card to monitor as the only connection?Yes. DP cable from graphics card into monitor directly.

I bought a pentium for my new build. Good right?No, not really no, post the full specs of your pc and your budget, maybe something else is possible.

My board burned out and I reckon it's time to upgrade my CPU as well. Any recommendations that aren't Ryzen?The core series are pretty good (i5 8400 and 8700 to be specific) if Intel is within price range. Since you aren't looking for Ryzen the AMD options can get limited, but I would go for a TR4($$$$$) or a FX for its relatively cheap price.
My other question is what happens with the OS? Does windows need to be rebought if I upgraded my windows 7 to 10 for free?

You liked it when Intel had no competition and a decent cpu costed you 1k?
It's really a shame that intel doesn't have an 8 core model to compete with Ryzen without paying space shuttle prices.
Today the day reviews cannot be trusted anymore. Its all commercial and fake. Therefore Im asking it here on these forums.
Good advice. One other question: My computer is dead, but it does do this: when I turn it on the fans and computer turn on for about 2 seconds and then dies, and boots again in a never ending loop. Any idea what it could be and tips to fix?Check that the CPU and Motherboard power cables are in correctly. Thats what I usually check first when that happens at work (I used to be an engineer). If not reset your CMOS. Google how to do it.
What do you think of NZXT building?That's not a bad site, but it is very expensive. I've been eyeing this prebuilt but sadly it's not an 8700k. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=9SIADYY6YP8228

Looks like the best way to get a new PC atm, considering the overpriced separated parts on the market.
What else do you want lolI just want to be sure I have something powerful and fast. I'm a total noob when it comes at pc building.
What else do you want lolI just want to be sure I have something powerful and fast. I'm a total noob when it comes at pc building.
The thing is I don't know which parts belong to which because on some motherboards you can't put some things that are not connected to it etc.
I personally would have adviced against buying a new build right at this moment unless you absolutely have to. According to some rumours, Nvidia will reveal and launch their new 1100 series this year. Even if you don't want an 1100 series, its release would push the prices of the 1000 series down.The ultimate uncertainty there is why I just bit the bullet and got a 1060. I figured if the bubble does pop / 1100 series comes out, then I'll just grab a second 1060 and SLI it up for a cheap price.
Besides that, the cryptocurrency bubble is still going on. Will it pop? I dunno, but I don't need to upgrade my build right now which allows me to wait and see what happens. Who knows what might happen the next few months.
Good advice. One other question: My computer is dead, but it does do this: when I turn it on the fans and computer turn on for about 2 seconds and then dies, and boots again in a never ending loop. Any idea what it could be and tips to fix?
Yeah, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble and my system has already aged dramatically, especially my GPU (Nvidia 770). There's no point in dishing out 300 for a 1060 just for the GPU to be bottlenecked by an older processor and the 2700x should age nicely as games and programs shift to multicore. Thanks for the advice though!Good advice. One other question: My computer is dead, but it does do this: when I turn it on the fans and computer turn on for about 2 seconds and then dies, and boots again in a never ending loop. Any idea what it could be and tips to fix?Sound like your power supply. Had this happen on different computers. Replaced the PSU and all was good.
Just read your later posts. Enjoy your new system.
Intel is bringing out more multi cored products that are better than the equivalent Ryzen's, but they are still more expensive so at the end of the day it comes down to what you will actually do with the CPU's.Pretty much. Intel will hold the single core performance while Ryzen will hold multicore. Either way with the 2700x coming with the Prism cooler and price difference I just find it better and easier to work with compared to the 8700k but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
As I am going to buy a new PC, I thought it could be helpful if people would have the opportunity to post their set ups (or what they want to buy etc.) on a thread, thus creating this. I hope we have some people with knowledge in this area (i only got the basic stuff you need to know) and are able to help others out.
My Set-Up I am going to buy is:idk if you have A cooler you shouldnt need an extra one. My last laptop didnt have one and toastered itself on overwatch so nvr again :'(
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x (8x3,6 GHz)
MSI Geforce Gtx 1060 6gb gaming x
MSI - X470 Gaming Plus
G. Skill Trident Z 2x8 gb
250 gb SSD
550 W power adapter
Fractal Design Focus G ATX mid tower
Any opinions on this? I am wondering if 550 W are enough and if I need an extra cooler. I hope you can help me

Well the tower, Processor and Video card contain air coolers
Ryzen 2600x is like €70 cheaper but more or less the same as an i5 8600, its not a bad choice.

also why ryzen
Intel is better for gaming ofc, but as I need performance for uni (engineering/mathematics programs) I´ve read that 2600x is the better way to go. As price said it´s more or less equal to a 8600k. I´m not sure if it´s worth to get an i7 or a better graphic card. That set up is said to be able to perform every actual game on high settings with good fps.. idkI was talking to Herishey about him buying his new PC, what you should really do is scrap the idea of getting a 1060 and just buy a 2nd hand 980Ti for the same ish Price.
This is what I'd decided on after speaking with El Chriseh (some parts aren't specific yet);

RAM - DIMM 16 GB DDR4-2800, memory x2
Graphics Card - Nvidia GTX 980ti
PSU - 650w Corsair
Hard Drive - 500GB SSD
Optical Drive - SATA Blueray ROM. - £50

whats the overall costs?
I think my calculations based on what we discussed was around £1350 but that's without taking into account some bundles I can get.I think that will be enough to run Warband on max graphics. Also the quiz games you play.
I am partial to some quiz games.Me too I think those videos are the best.

I'm quite sceptical of getting second hand GPU. Or are they selling them refurnished?
I'm quite sceptical of getting second hand GPU. Or are they selling them refurnished?As long as they werent used for Bitcoin mining there is no reason to be skeptical. Now, if it was a CPU thats a different story. Most people take a GPU as it is and stick it in their PC without doing any aftermarket changes. As most GPU's come with great coolers including the NVidia stock one, its the PC part that is the least prone to wear overtime due to like dust etc. if someone hasn't kept their PC well cooled. However something like a CPU and RAM can eventually have problems.
1060 may be a slight decrease in graphics but it might be better in terms of longevity and optimization.I'm quite sceptical of getting second hand GPU. Or are they selling them refurnished?

It's so damn sad that their engine is poorly optimized. That being said, Arma is one of the few games I can tolerate playing at 15-30 frames in demanding situations.How much does RAM speed matter for gaming?
Next to nothing. The one game that I'm aware of that really benefits from faster RAM is Arma 3, and anyone who plays Arma games knows there's a lot of issues with those game engines. It's not worth breaking the bank for that one game unless it's basically your life like Arma celebrity Dslyecxi.

If you take a look at refurbished or second hand 980 ti for 200 to 250 dollars these days which will give you more performance than a GTX 1080 which is still a $600 card.
I recently replaced my one GTX 980 for 2 080 TI's in SLI. Don't worry about them being second hand, as long as the card hasn't been mining for 5 years, graphics cards always tend to be the longest standing component of a build most of the time.
Fuck you, phone typing.

RX cards are for budget pc's. The GTX 1050TI which I put in my brothers pc only runs games at about 30-40 fps on Medium. Which is around the same price point as that card.
Whereas my GTX980TI runs games on Max at 60fps at 1080p. I turn Anti Aliasing down as I have a 1440p monitor then I still get 60fps even then.
So yeah, for about a 60-70% better card you pay the same price. Only issue being it would be second hand but graphics cards last a lifetime anyway.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814126231But can it run Crysis 3 at 60 frames, 16:9 aspect ration, and a shitty 2007 1080i monitor I picked up from Microsoft during Cyber Monday?
Well I'll be damned
8GB of RAM is just not enough imho. Also dw, building a PC is literally as easy as building a lego house.^. Although there are sometimes cheap prebuilts but generally their internals are lesser known or cruddy brands. Generally you either want to build it for less or buy it from a custom PC vendor and pay extra.

I did it a couple of times and never had issues. But you need to watch out, because there are scammers around. Usually they take posession of another account. If they only offer payment outside of ebay (manual bank transfer for example) do not buy it from them. Any transfers on ebay are safe, buyer protection will get you your money back if you get scammed.
Ebay is great. I managed to get a 2080ti for 300 euro less. It works just fine and was delivered just as fast as ordering it from Amazon for example.
Why not wait until you put a graphics card in it you pleb
so uhhh why is everything on the floor, do you like lay down whilst you play???
Tbh 8GB is enough for most current games. With the whole price gouging thing still working its way through the market, I'd only buy 8GB for the moment then get more later if you're building a new system.8GB of RAM is just not enough imho.

Trust me i know 8gb is not enough overall but its certainly enough to get started. It will be my first priority to add 2 more 4gb sticks to get up to 16gb total after the initial build. 16gb kits are just to pricey upfront rn for my budget. I am getting all of these parts next week except the GPU because i am still trying to find one for cheaper or on a sale somewhere. But until then ill just run Vega 8 graphics for a week or 2.
And i have looked at tons of prebuilds recently and there is just NOWAY to get the quality of components as cheap as you can build it yourself. The system i am building would easily run 800-1000$ prebuilt and i am getting everything for just under $600. I am really excited to build it just nervous lol, do not wanna fuck anything up or put it all together and it not power on lol...
Anyone here upgraded to the Nvidia 2000 series?
Also as far as temps go, after my oc the temps constantly fluctuate between 28c-46c with the average being about 35c-40c while idle/web browsing or basic application use. Is it normal to change so much even while idle? Also the max temp i have hit is 74c while playing some heavier games. Is that good/safe?

#ShamelessFlexNew Build I am about to hit buy, just checking the last few pieces, checking anymore fittings I need etc.(https://i.gyazo.com/8d782007c3383146cdd1b3245a4a468b.png)[close]
Will be my 2nd watercooled build. First one I had to redo the loop... twice but it was a learning curve.
Stuck with Thermaltake as they have some pretty good build kits and just tend to be reliable in general. Fans etc. I will be buying from a seperate website as I need static pressure ones with White LED's or RGB that doesn't cost £60+ from SCAN.
I am also about to grab some white PSU and SATA cables from CableMod (they finally have an EU store) which I will post lata.
So excited. Yet this is going to take me at least a whole day to build as I am still not used to watercooling yet. Its just nice to know as you grow older and moving further ahead at your job etc. you can afford to do crazy things like this.

SCAN, more like SCAM
Nice build though, you'll definitely get 144 fps on NW!
Look at that waste of money
SCAN, more like SCAMImplying I play NW ::)

Absolutely sick build. Although i would of personally have gone for Threadripper over 9900k, regardless still a monster. And the white theme will look sick. Also what GPU and case fans are you using? Also love the 1tb 970 evo its god tier.GPU is on the list, second from the bottom. I always buy the top end cards and just keep them for around 5 or more years. So I bought my 980 when it was brand new in December 2014, so 4+ years is a good investment for it. Should get longer out of the 2080ti. I also want to upgrade to 1440p gaming so.
Pointing out I have too much money isn't brutal ;)Look at that waste of money
lol brutal sanders
I've decided on 6 of these fans now for the radiator:
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair-ml140-pro-led-white-140mm-premium-magnetic-levitation-fan-fg-058-cs.html
Maglev fans do both airflow and static pressure. I only need 3 technically but I am tempted to do a pull-push config on the radiator to maximize the potential

Honestly mate, everyone says that until they actually try it. I built my first PC for £2000 in less than 2 hours and never had an issue.

If you want an uber gaming PC now ($1700):
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/L9JLgw
If you upgrade the CPU when Zen 2 comes out ~Q3 2019 ($1400, then sell CPU and upgrade):
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nFthw6
DON'T get a 2700X unless you're actually doing video editing/streaming (let us know if you are, as you need more RAM and there are better CPUs for it). If you want cheaper now to upgrade, there's no reason for getting a 2700X, it's just a more expensive part to try to sell later. 2600 -> Zen 2 is the way to go.
Tomahawk for the motherboard, as MSI's motherboards are the best for overclocking atm in terms of VRM and capabilities. Price is not everything.
When looking at cases, having 3 fans in the front isn't always the best if they choke them by putting them 1mm from the glass front panel with no inlets. Personally some of my favourites are Fractal Design, like the Define R6, Meshify C and Define C. But again, personal taste.
I recently started a small side job while I attend classes. When my financial aid disbursement comes back, I might start setting some money aside to buy parts for a new PC gradually.

Marceaux stop telling everyone the Ryzen's are so "Affordable" and "Good". Its very subjective.
When it comes to gaming performance the Ryzen's literally fall short EVERY TIME.
An 8700k literally costs the same as a 2700x and outperforms it by a mile. Same with a 9700k which is like $50 more.Marceaux stop telling everyone the Ryzen's are so "Affordable" and "Good". Its very subjective.

They are literally Affordable and GOOD. To say otherwise is retarded. And Yes Intel cpus are better at gaming but for the price difference it isnt much.

With Ryzen being so good and affordable now building a new gaming pc on a budget has never been more possible! You can do it!!!!!!!! ;D
Eh. I'm an Nvidia and Intel guy. Not a big fan of AMD products all that much but I'll look into it.
AMD is KILLING Intel right now in terms of CPU's price to performance. And the next gen Ryzen CPU's are supposed to kill intel lol but we will see...
People were going crazy for Ryzen until it actually came out and had a ton of firmware issues that should have been addressed way beforehand.
Almost as though they expect the only people that will buy those CPU's are people who only buy AMD Products, like Marceaux :)
Man it’s just a computer.NOU!
An 8700k literally costs the same as a 2700x and outperforms it by a mile. Same with a 9700k which is like $50 more.I mean an 8700k is 400 pounds vs 2700X for 300 (as per Amazon right now). The difference at 1440p is literally within margins for error. The 2600 is overclockable and 150 pounds, so for budget builds it's a fucking no-brainer, considering how much games benefit from a good GPU over a good CPU.
You are just looking at the price and the core count then making assumptions. Don't mislead people. For that price I wouldn't call them good.
Where are you seeing an 8700k for 400? I literally just checked and its selling for 330 or 340 :P Not a big enough difference to justify the lower performance imo.An 8700k literally costs the same as a 2700x and outperforms it by a mile.

Anyway considering a budget of 2000, you may as well buy Intel, assuming you're just gaming.
Nvidea has better cards than AMD at present, although I don't think the RTX series is worth it at all, but again, if you have the budget you may as well.
2nd hand is the way to go personally, especially for GPUs, and can save you a couple hundred on a 1080ti, which is pretty even to the 2080 (other than the ray tracing gimmick).
So I am selling a bunch of stuff, maybe anyone here is interested in it, before I put it on Ebay.
I have 2x 1080ti, a 2080 ti and 3x 16gb of Corsair Dominator Platinum 3000mhz I want to get rid of.
How much are you charging for the cards and do you offer an FSE forum member discount? ;-)

I’ll give you 1 peso for all of it
Why so much for gaming pc's
Why so much for gaming pc's
Because most people do not know anything about PC's so many places will just charge whatever they want and kids will still buy it. Also you can blame crypto mining for alot of the price inflation. Especially with graphic cards etc... :'(
Okay, one of the 1080ti is sold.
I have something else though. I was looking through old stuff and I found a bunch of stuff. I have no idea if any of it works, my bet is that atleast half of the memory, probably the CPU and the motherboard, aswell as the blu-ray drive (I think it is a blu-ray drive) work.
Either way, the case should work fine. Tho, its missing all the screws from the sidepanels.
So, because I don't want to go through the trouble of testing any of this stuff, I am gonna sell it all for 100 bucks. Let me know if any one you guys wants it.
If it all works its definitely worth more than 100 bucks. Given that I made BCoF run on worse hardware, if this stuff works its probably not too shabby of a System.
A bunch of DDR3 Vengeance memory, 1600 and 2400mhz, 8gb sticks.
A MSI Gtx 680
Some kind of ASUS Blu Ray Drive
An ASUS P9X79 Motherboard

I wouldn't buy a Vega 56 literally just because it seems to have shit tons of stability issues. Looked at 2 reviewers who compared it to a 1660ti today and it wouldn't even open some games.
Solid build, lots of bang for very little buck.
Use PriceSpy (or local equivalent) to make sure you're getting all parts as cheaply as you can if budget is that much of a concern.
Also, put $10 aside for getting a 2nd hand Wraith Spire off eBay, it'll make a huge difference in what you can get out of the 2400G. I mean you can go for any cooler, but there's usually plenty of 2nd hand Wraith stuff going for cheap.
Alternatively you can get a much better cooler, but it depends on the money situation.
I've put up my old PC in case anyone's interested.
http://ebay.us/pCMv8s?cmpnId=5338273189
Its pretty cheap for what you get out of it. Still runs all games you throw at it at 60+FPS unless you are running 1440p or 4k then you need to tone down the settings a tad.
Happy with how my new pc turned out :) building it was 10 times easier than I would have originally thought. Thanks Chriseh for the help! Sorry I didn't go with you this time Marceaux :( I'm sure your build would have been just as good!

GPU is never really a problem to buy secondhand. Generally if they work when they are purchased, then as long as they are not kept in AWFULL conditions, then they will work 5 years down the line.and for OC'ing I just use MSI afterburner?
So yes, go for it.
Don't go for a 1080 if you can buy a 1070ti as there is basically no difference after the smallest of overclocks.
That or EVGA Precision X1. I use the EVGA one as its abit nicer to use tbh.GPU is never really a problem to buy secondhand.

I honestly think you should wait man, word around town is that GPU prices are dropping steadily. Also i do not feel like a 1060 to a 1070ti is worth the upgrade. Why not go much bigger or at least do the next gen cards because you get the future RTX features and gddr6 etc.
I managed to sell my i5 4670k and GTX 760 surprisingly easily, considering their age. 45 and 35 pounds respectively. Considering how cheap current gen stuff is I didn't think anyone would go for them. I'll sell the old DDR3 RAM off soon and I guess I'll try to sell the motherboard. Just have to figure out the best way to get rid of my old case.
Anyone got thoughts on NVMe vs Sata? For gaming I feel like it's not at all worth the extra cost from what I've seen of loading times.
why tho
To buy used stuff just look at auctions that are ending soon, if there's something you like wait until 1 min before it ends and put a price $10 higher. Honestly it's WAY cheaper than trying to instant buy on eBay.

Yeah I need a new computer, I've been using laptops for the last 5-6 years of my life and it's about time I switch to a proper desktop. Though don't have a lot of money to invest in it and need a new one so that's why I was interested in your budget setup there.

This is the completed build list: https://pcpartpicker.com/b/HpkdnQ but yeah i am pretty sure everything in that video was in the list. The CPU comes with a Wraith Stealth cooler which is what i am using (its really good).
As far as performance i think its amazing, i can run anything on high-ultra at 1080p 60+ fps and can run most stuff at 1440p 60+ fps. However i would like a cpu with hyper threading and more cores for some more intensive editing and some really cpu heavy games. But the 2200G is really impressive for the price. However i plan to upgrade my cpu to a Ryzen 3000 series chip once they come out here soon. This system also handles streaming just fine although a better cpu would give even better results.

Looking to build a PC £700 limit (already have a GPU). any help is appreciated, especielly with choosing a CPU with good value for money.
i should of clarified that my GPU is a 1050 TI, personally i am a Intel man, but i heard that AMD are competing quite well now...Looking to build a PC £700 limit (already have a GPU). any help is appreciated, especielly with choosing a CPU with good value for money.
Wait until July 7th when the new Ryzen 3000 CPU's release they will be the best cpus on the market not only performance wise but also price. ;D Ide go for Ryzen 7 3700x/3800x and pair it with a new b550 or x570 mobo. Also make sure to get some fast ram i would go for at least 3200mhz and probably g.skill since they have kits made specifically for amd. And what GPU do you have?

I understand being an Intel or AMD fan. But these new Ryzen 3000 CPU's are simply to good to ignore. Its pretty unanimous that they are the best choice right NOW for a cpu anyway. Intel still winning the GPU race however. 1050 TI is solid. But for sure look into the Ryzen 3000 series my man. :)
price - performance definitely an i5 8th generation :)
I feel like with the power of the super 2060 or 2070 it would be a justified upgrade over a 1060. Seems the super 2070 will probably give performance similar to a 1080 or 1080ti and will set me up for a while but I still want to see a final price
ITS HERE AT LAST! RYZEN 3000 IS OUT NOW!!!! ;D (Cant wait to order my R7 3700x in a few days for my bday!)
Also which is better, RTX 2060 Super or RX 5700 XT? Both are $400. Cant make up my mind...
5700 XT and 5700 are both looking like amazing value already, and considering that it's just with the first set of drivers, it's only going to get better from there.
Can't wait to see what AIB partners release, as with better cooling and lower noise from non-blower fans they'll be amazing cards.
I've also heard there's more performance to be had from the Zen 2 processors as there was something holding them back which was negated by disabling a single core or something like that.
So glad we've got real competition in higher end components after all this time.
Are there any drawbacks to AMD GPU's? I do want to upgrade and can probably sell my 1060 to a friend who wants to build a PC.
and on that note, have any of you all used Kinguin's suspiciously cheap windows 10 keys?
With the sale going on right now over the Ryzen 2000 series, what's the best budget build I could make for my friend?
and noob question but how do you bootleg windows and what are the drawbacks?
Thank you for your builds! I think right now I'm trying to figure out if he wants to do a 2200g for integrated graphics with the goal of upgrading later, or if he just wants to future proof it and get a GPU with a 2600.
An RX 580 should be plenty of gaming performance right? I say that because the price jump between 580's and the new nvidia/AMD cards are huge in comparison to the budget. I might just hold onto my 1060 as it will still be a while before 3rd parties make their own GPU's and sales start hitting
What does freesync do?Technology to adapt your monitors refresh rate better to the hardware in your PC, reducing screen tearing and it should help make movement in the image smoother.
How does this look? Im new to this so im not entirely sure if this makes sense or not. I dont know if I need a standalone cpu cooler or not. All im looking for in a new pc is something that'll be able to handle 99% of games comfortably for a couple of years.It depends if the CPU comes with a cooler or not, usually it does come with the CPU so it's not really totally necessary depending..

The GPU was definitely the part that I was the least sure about. I've honestly never heard about the 2070 before but that just shows how little I know about any of this stuff. I basically built the pc based off what parts I recognized.I've helped out quite a few people on here over the years, also sat on Whatsapp with Wastee while he was building his new monster, so sit on Uncle Chriseh's lap while he gives you the run down my boy.
Unstable overclock is possible, but unlikely. Normally it would just crash out.
Run your overclock at max power delivery ONLY for a few days and see if that fixes it. It will still max out the core clock as far as it can without the minimum that you set.
Sounds much more likely to be internet related imo, considering it only being in MP plus the spikes to 300+
Do the same things occur on lowest settings, lower resolution etc in the same games?
If so, use ethernet instead of Wifi if you can, or otherwise try to move your router closer to your PC, make sure you're not using 5GHz wifi etc
In other news, User Benchmarks has just changed how they rate CPUs to favour Intel for no apparent reason. Instead of increasing the weighting of multithreaded performance (or even quad) to keep up with the fact that modern titles are utilising more cores more effectively, they've increased the single threaded weighting at the expense of multicore and quadcore weighting. I can only imagine they must have gotten a fat wad of money for it.
Old weightings: Single 30%, Quad 60%, Multi 10%
New weightings: Single 40%, Quad 58%, Multi 2%

Edit: It's lead to some pretty funny results, like the chip I used to have (i5 4670k) compared to it's big brother:
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-vs-Intel-Core-i5-4670K/1537vs1538
Which titles are still sketchy?
Also are you using the latest drivers?
Not really sure what else it could be at this point other than either poorly optimised games or simply your rig can't handle new titles at the resolution and/or graphics settings you're trying. If you turn down the details etc see if it improves, then at least you can see if your rig is up to scratch.
That's about as far as my basic troubleshooting will go though
Why are you worried about response times? It's 1ms, same as the other monitor. Plenty of monitors have 5ms response times and are completely fine. Looks solid.
There's not really any point upgrading your mobo, but whatever floats your boat
And yeah you can get some good money selling parts on ebay, managed to get like 40-45 pounds each for an old GTX 760 and an i5 4670k, which considering they were like 5 years old was pretty sweet
thanks for the triple post :-\
If I'm installing SSD's on my workplaces computers, is there a way to straight copy my coworkers' preexisting desktops, programs and all, to the SSD? It would save me some time but it's not a huge deal.
Edit: On a personal note, would I see more change out of 16 gigabytes of faster mhz RAM, say 3200mhz, or adding 16GB more to my existing 16GB RAM clocked at 2666?

Personally i would add another 16GB and go with 32GB total, i think your overall system performance would be better and nothing will ever come close to maxing your ram. Also i just personally swapped from 2666 to 3200 and i could hardly tell a difference and i am on Ryzen where it should show more then Intel. Also once you get a full 32GB kit just try and overclock the whole kit to 3000+mhz its very easy. RAM overclocking is probably as easy as overclocking gets. Just turn up your ram voltage to 1.35-1.4 and set the speed to 3200mhz with auto timings and see what happens. If system fails to boot just reset until it auto clears or reset with the cmos battery. Then turn down to 3000 etc and keep trying speeds until you get one that is stable. Depending on what RAM brand/kit you have i am sure you will be able to get at least 3000mhz coming from 2666 and you can likely hit 3200+. And matter of fact i regret and would never pay for high speed ram again as 99% of the high speed kits are just 2400-2666mhz sticks that they overclocked themselves and set it as a xmp profile. For example my Team RGB 16gb kit is actually just 2400mhz sticks with a 3200mhz xmp profile saved on them. So its almost pointless to pay for higher speed ram kits unless you start getting into certain dies and all that very particular b.s.
What ram do you have?
If I'm installing SSD's on my workplaces computers, is there a way to straight copy my coworkers' preexisting desktops, programs and all, to the SSD? It would save me some time but it's not a huge deal.That depends on how much RAM you actually use. If you never go up to your current 16GB limit it you would barely notice anything, bar maybe Windows loading some core objects faster. Considering the price of RAM these days that speed increase would be noticable but not enough for what your paying. If you really want to upgrade, you can just purchase any dual channel memory (thats the same speed) as long as you are running them in dual channel mode for your Mobo, it really doesn't matter if its mixed and matched with another brand frankly. Now if it was server memory thats a different story.

Its essentially a 2 port dock which at the press of a button will copy EVERYTHING in the exact same pre existing state from one drive to another. It can also be used to just insert drives and use it as a hard drive dock to copy data, however you like to play it. There is also a button on the back that will erase all data on the drives pretty damn quickly.
I've bought one of these for my last 3 companies I've worked at over the last 5 1/2 years. I consider it to be a necessity as you can always find use out of it. Only limitation is it won't be able to clone from a bigger drive to a smaller one as the sectors will error.
There are various softwares out there although tbh I alternate between them depending on what its for.

Made for Ryzen is marketing, you can spend more if you want, but you really won't be getting that much more performance for a fairly hefty price increase. Even with extra frequency and tighter timings it's not worth it imo. Spending an extra 100 pounds on 5-10 fps isn't my idea of value, but to each their own.
Also idk if it changed since yesterday but for some reason the RAM in my list was like 400 quid, obviously don't spend that much, you can get 32Gb for 160-200 pounds depending on timings and frequency.
Also, if you're playing on a TV the refresh rate will be trash, I really can't recommend a good monitor enough, but up to you. Not to mention the lack of detail you'll be getting, so you're actually not even using most of the PC.
Imho, if you're happy with your TV then that's fine, but you won't notice any difference between a 3000 pound PC and whatever you currently have, so I don't really see why you want an insane build.
My new one will be this almost part for part with one or two minor adjustments
i may jus say fuck it and get some jewellery as idk how to build and apparently for this expert it was hard xD

Its pretty weak man, i would look around more. A 2 core cpu now adays is pretty whack. And the Vega 3 igpu has to be pretty weak. I was on Vega 8 igpu and i was barely playing most stuff. So i really doubt the Vega 3 could do much but idk it might be enough for paradox games. But tbh i am sure you can find a better deal then something HP. Look at Lenovo they usually have really good prices and are decent quality.

i have a question:
months ago, i installed a new motherboard and a new cpu BUT by installing the new motherboard i had to do a clean install of windows
thing is, my key wasnt re-usable so now my windows licence isnt active anymore but it doesnt rly bother me, it just stops me from using Word, powerpoint or stuff like that (i dont use them so)
thing is, i purchased a new ssd today and i was wondering how i could put my windows files on it
should i do a clean windows install again ? but then, i wont be able to even boot it since my windows key isnt valid anymore ? or can i just drop the files from my hdd to my new ssd ?
im sorry if it sounds dumb or if my english isnt great, honestly i'm just tired today and i dont know shit about windows licence stuff, i'm just into hardware

I was looking to get a new hard drive. Any good deals today or should I wait?
yo yo yo please i need some help
so im thinking of upgrading my pc components as some of them are a bit old but i cant understand shit about the motherboard, sockets and such
do i need to change my motherboard if im considering changing my RAM (from 8Go to 16Go), my internal hard drive and probably my processor ?
currently got an i5 4460 that aged a bit and i believe my gtx 970 is still good enough for the time being
but if you have any advice or tips feel free to tell
from what i could find using the cmd.exe it's a "ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H97-PLUS", idk if thats enough informations :c
alright ty man
any advice for a mothermoard ? or does it depends on the cpu i want?
alright ty man
any advice for a mothermoard ? or does it depends on the cpu i want?
Yeah motherboard depends on the CPU you want.
Harford yes you'll want to change your motherboard, CPU and unfortunately that means getting new RAM as well. Your GPU is fine and you can upgrade that easily at any time in the future as they swap in and out easily.
It depends a lot on your budget and what you use it for, but for gaming a B450 motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600X with 16Gb 3000MHz RAM is a solid starting point with plenty of options for easy upgrades in future. If you've got more money you could look into an X570 board with a 3600X or 3700X.
In terms of storage get an SSD and make sure you install your operating system on it if you don't already have it on an SSD. It's the biggest difference you'll notice day to day in terms of speed.

yeah i already have the OS on the ssd dw its really more about the internal hard drive which is almost full, feelsbad today's games takes minimum 50Go each.
currently looking at motherboard and stuff and its pretty hard to find what is compatible with what, i'll have a look about your suggestions ty aswell!

I want to be able to play games maxed out graphics with a very high fps so there is no lag and I will also be doing some (not that much) video editing and quite a lot photoshopping. I got this setup.

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know a good budget keyboard with a wrist rest included?Like I say to everyone for PC related stuff, better to post your actual budget first.
Around 50 to 70 euros.
I mean his budget was 4000 euros for his PC so he can definitely afford to get a mechanical keyboard.Ah didn't see that. Yeah he should 100% buy a good mechanical keyboard then.
I also have one and highly recommend it
Yeah, I did some research online and everyone indeed says mechanical is best. I didn't know there was such a big difference.I'd figure out what type of switches you want first. It really depends on the person.
What keyboard you guys recommend? Preferable to have a wrist rest if possible.
It's actually quite interesting though. I'll take a look thank you. :)
Yeah if there isn't any armrest keyboard anymore I'll try to find a solution for a more softer underground.
Edit: After reading the page and see some YouTube videos, I think I might go with the Cherry Red MX switches. But I don't know any good keyboards that use those. :c
And here I am who never bothered to pay more than €10 for a keyboard ;DExplains alot...

I'm thinking of buying the SteelSeries Arctis Pro RGB Headset. Is this a good one? I want a very high quality sounding wired gaming headset with good bass. My budget for a headset is max 150 euros. I found a place I could get this one new for 140.
personally i wouldn't pay the extra money for RGBTo be honest its on every Arctis Pro version, only the wireless does not have it, but it's also much more expensive.

I just got the Logitech g pro and I'm more than happy
Am I the only ond that doesn't understand the wireless mouse hype? I also have the Logitech g pro wireless (fwuffy and fralla recommended it to me). It's a great mouse, but I just keep it corded at all times. The cord never gets in the way for me, and I cba recharging it (even though it doesn't need to charge that often).I also like wired mouses better aswell as wired headphones and headsets. It's probably more comfortable but I guess if you are sitting at a desk it's not much of a problem. I feel like wireless should be used on consoles for maximum comfort.

Tbh looking at the benchmarks for the 3080 it's actually kinda underwhelming. They marketed it as 100% faster than the 2080 but on average it's like 70%. Even cherry picked I struggle to find any that reach double. The VRAM limitations also seem to have hurt them considering BF was using all 10GB with RTX disabled.
I reckon RDNA2 is going to be pretty competitive, I do wonder how much it'll hurt them to be launching so much later than the 3000 series. I feel like a lot of people bought into the Nvidia hype around their launch event

Thank you v much, think I’ll get it because I mean my monitor rn doesn’t give me an edge in any game but I still win most the time kek not like 3 ms will fuck me up in almost everythingIt'd be fine for movie watching and gaming but you won't get the most "competitive advantage" because of the 4ms GTG response time. If I were you I'd get it pretty good deal for a 27 inch curved monitor.https://www.dell.com/en-uk/shop/dell-27-curved-gaming-monitor-s2721hgf/apd/210-awyy/monitors-monitor-accessorieshello wise elders of the villageDepends on the panel.

If you want a competitive edge go for this inexpensive benq, all the newer benqs only have DyAc which is for csgo recoil and 240hz is nice but not worth the 400$ premium.

ms doesn't matter too much, just go for a resolution/hz combination that your pc can handle. No point in getting 1440p/144hz if you're hanging at 60fps in every game. If you just want performance for competitive games get any 1080p/144hz, if u want vsync or something similar then get one that supports that. Some will have shittier colours than others but who gives a shit.thanks papa rik
forgot to add if your pc is shit then getting a 240hz monitor is useless lol, also lower MS means less ghosting of images and better picture quality.ms doesn't matter too much, just go for a resolution/hz combination that your pc can handle.

What is the best Intel CPU atm for gaming?an amd cpu
What is the best Intel CPU atm for gaming?10900k
What is the best Intel CPU atm for gaming?10900k
but a 5950x is on par or better with an extra 6 cores if you want to spend that.
10900k is a massive waste of money. If you're set on Intel get a 10600k and overclock it to get the same performance.ye
Otherwise like everyone else said get AMD, the 5600x is already a beast, let alone the 5900x and 5950x.
got a 5600x, cant wait to use it on warband 8)Imagine getting a 5600x and not a 6800x :-\

buy me one too, its not in stock here
My 1070ti is slowly dyingmy 1070 FE is already dead
Is the 5600x better than the cheaper 8 core alternatives for Intel tho? I haven't really looked into it but my mind says probs no5600x has bscly the same performance as a i9 10900k in game

Not to mention SAM is a bastardised version of something that already existed so this is something eventually we could be seeing for Intel based CPU's.Just to add to this, Asus and AsRock have already released Bios updates that enable the intel variant of SAM (Clever Memory...yikes) to intel CPU's. People are seeing up to 16% performance increases which is kinda nuts.
The more impressive thing with AMD is actually the performance of the 6800XT and how far it can overclock, which could even go better if the limits in the Bios werent so large.

Intel has also announced that they will be including their own implementation of Resizable BAR (what SAM is based on anyway) to Rocket Lake and will be compatible with both nvidia and amd GPU's.
So that extra feature that people were overhyping is no loner an AMD selling point.
Right now AMD cpu and NVIDIA gpu combo is your best bet if you are going for max performance.I agree that both have good value products, but AMD is miles ahead in price to performance at the top end.
Besides that it's really hard to go wrong with either of them.
What's the AMD equivalent of nvidias ray tracing or do they both support it and nvidia is just trying to sound special with their RTX labelling?The new 6000 series does support Ray Tracing but its not very good, "RDNA". Performance of the 6800 XT at the moment is similar to like a 2060 Super at the moment on a lot of games.
What's the AMD equivalent of nvidias ray tracing or do they both support it and nvidia is just trying to sound special with their RTX labelling?AMD is working on a more general version of ray tracing branded DXR, which essentially should work on all direct x titles, making it far more widely applicable than nvidia's game specific implementations.

Ye, i'm going air because I have a bad history with water cooling. Coolermaster and Corsair have both failed me resulting in water damage before.
I know something like the Kraken looks very clean and has a very slight performance boost, but at double the cost. Also I'm gonna be moving it around a fair bit and don't want to risk any accidental water damage. Not to mention the annoying cricket sound that comes with water cooling at idle or low load.
Noctua is the best. Fuck anyone that disagrees. :P
what are your opinios about the 5700xt?I would get the 2070 Super. It's a little more money but I think it'll be a better investment.
what are your opinios about the 5700xt?It's a solid card and a better value than the 2060s or 2070s especially if you are playing at 1080p and don't care about ray tracing. That said, buying one now when the 3060ti exists just doesn't make much sense unless you just have to upgrade your PC right now and can't wait until the GPU market chills out a bit.
Userbenchmark isn't great for hardware comparisons. I'd recommend looking at actual standardised gaming benchmarks, HardwareUnboxed or GamersNexus are great examples.what are your opinios about the 5700xt?I would get the 2070 Super. It's a little more money but I think it'll be a better investment.

Is it worth the upgrade from a 2080 ti to a 3080 ti? And what is the difference actually between the 3080 ti and the 3090?
I mean, it depends what you want. If you want to play in 4k, go for a 3080 or so.Yeah honestly I do play a lot in 4K. Maybe a 3080 ti then?
I got massive FPS improvements when I switched to a 3090 from a 2080ti. Not saying you should get a 3090 tho, that thing isn't worth the price.
I still have a 1070 fe that I've had for 4 and a half years. Was planning to upgrade around 4-5 yrs in (so right now), but it seems quite stupid to upgrade at the moment.If I was in your situation and I had the money I would go for the 3080's.
So, I am gonna sell my Old PC and all the other components that I have sitting around here.
Anyone interested in any of my stuff? I can make a proper list later, but here is roughly what I want to get rid of:
48gig of 3000 CL16 Corsair Platinum
64gb of 3200CL16 Corsair Platinum
64gb of CL18 or maybe CL17, not sure, 3600 Corsair LPX Vengeance
8700k
Some Asus Motherboard, Maximus X Hero, I think.
A Zotac 2080TI, tripple fan
LG Blu Ray Reader/Burner
1000watt Corsair PSU
Some Be Quiet Case 900Pro series or something, I honestly don't remember. It has plenty of Fans, and a fan controller with touch screen that goes to the front of the case, but the temperature reader is broken, the cable ripped somehow. Should be easy to fix.
Some cheap Noctua CPU cooler that I bought last year cause my AIO broke last year, but it performs damn well, cause ya know, Noctua.
Most of the stuff is 3 years old by now, it originally was a prebuilt PC, but obviously added my own parts to it and exchanged others. I only got it because I couldn't be bothered with cable managing everything, lol. I ripped the stuff out that I needed for my new system, but all the stuff works well.

Not really about a PC build specifically but anyone got any recommendation on 240hz monitors. I want to upgrade sometime in the next week or two but don't want to spend more than maybe £250-400. Both my current monitors are hella old.

Yh heri go 360 and report back to us plzI’m yet to be shown that 360 actually makes much of a difference. The refresh rate is so high I don’t belive that it will have much of a difference compared to 240 hz

Both my current monitors are hella old.I'm not a monitor buff, but just be aware that you need to be a bit careful buying monitors, as lots of companies will put (for example) 240 Hz which in reality is only achievable using an overdrive mode (think like RAM XMP overclocking but on a monitor) which is genuinely bad and gives massive overshoot, seen as visual artefacts like ghosting. I'm not saying this will necessarily happen, but a good monitor with a "lower" refresh rate can give you a far better experience than a cheap monitor with a "higher" refresh rate.
I'll have a look thanks.

I'd recommend Hardware Unboxed on Youtube, they have some great monitor reviews and are pretty unbiased.
If anyone has some lower end cards they don't need I am looking to grab one. Was looking at picking up a 980 or lower end 10 series card for my 2nd PC but would rather buy from someone I know.I think Hertz is upgrading from a 980 soon you might be able to get his one off him when he does.

Hi guys :)I’d advise on saving for a proper pc tbh. Laptops are more practiced but are generally slower for gaming.
I'm currently looking for a new laptop for gaming purposes. I'd prefer a laptop as I can't (nor do I want to) put much work into it myself. I don't really know what to look for though and I hoped I could get some information / inspiration here.
Thanks in advance :)

If you're not gaming on it you can definitely save a LOT of money:Yeah it's just for programming (apps, games, software, etc...). I have photoshop and other graphics design tools on my main PC, so that's not really a problem. I'm gonna get this one then. Is indeed a bit cheaper. Thanks a lot. :)
1) That graphics card is overkill, plus RTX (real time raytracing) will be irrelevant.
2) There would be an argument for Intel CPUs when it comes to gaming, but AMD mops the floor with them when it comes to productivity
This laptop has one of the best CPUs (4800H) for productivity of the previous generation:
https://www.coolblue.be/nl/product/869955/lenovo-legion-5-15arh05h-82b100b5mb-azerty.html
It's like 40-50% faster than the Intel CPU in the laptop you listed (10750H) in things like encoding, code compilation.
So you'll get better performance (unless you're doing graphic design or something as well?) and save a lot of money. Hope that helps!
Yo, I am looking for a new headset. And preferably wired. Which has phenomenal audio quality aswell as very comfortable ear cups. I don't mind the price. I had a few wireless headsets now like the A50 from Astro, but they always give up on me for some reason. Does anyone know some good ones? I'm kind of an audiophile person because I listen to a lot of music as well. I do understand that wired headsets might not give audio quality as good as wireless give in some cases but, I am sure there are some good ones out there.
if you're looking for the best sound I think you can't go wrong with anything from audio technica, bose or beyerdynamic, but you'd need a standalone mic obviouslyAudio-Technica actually started doing headsets a while back and from what I hear they are really good actually.
other than that I've been using logitech g pro x headset and both sound and mic are superb for a gaming headset
What’s the best build I could get for like $1200-1500. Would I be able to get a 30 series card and still be chillin with the rest of the setupNot a 30 series card these days, not unless you want to be on a waiting list for many months.

I mean if you really wanted to go all the way, some of AT's broadcast headsets are like $150-200 and they sound pretty good. I know a lot of events have used them because they are pretty cheap. Personally I have the BPHS1 which I got for like 150 on ebay and it's good though I do just use a standalone mic and headphones most of the time.if you're looking for the best sound I think you can't go wrong with anything from audio technica, bose or beyerdynamic, but you'd need a standalone mic obviouslyAudio-Technica actually started doing headsets a while back and from what I hear they are really good actually.

There are some cheaper options but in the UK they are like only £10 cheaper so its like well why not get the better ones for that difference.
Just pre ordered the 512GB Steam Deck - It looks like exactly what I want from a laptop. Can open any application I might need to use yet also play games in a handheld form factor.Q2 2022 Lets go! 8)
Will be using this to replace my travel laptop which is the Dell Workstation 3530 which is a chonker. Only thing is we don't know much about the OS
Can someone tell me the differences between 3600, 3600X and 3600XT?3600X has a higher base core clock than the 3600 and comes with a better cooler. Then TL;DR its basically the same for the 3600X and 3600XT

tldr?Thats what the Conclusion bit is for you fuckin mongo
Thanks for the in-depth review though. Is it needed to have more storage? Like replacing the ssd with something bigger like say 1TB? I've seen on reddit that people replaced them because the original wasn't enough. Other than that the things you said in this post made it more likely for me to get one. An other thing, so you can go to steam workshop on the steam deck and download a button lay-out for a certain game? How does this work?Well basically, when you load up a game and hit the steam button, you can change the controller layout. Every game has a standard recommended one, then some templates that just work with most games, then there's another section for community ones. Its like a 1mb download that gives you extra controller layout options.
Yeah that's a fair point. I won't be putting a lot of games on the Steam Deck I guess I'll just keep the original SD storage. Thanks for the clarification. I might pick it up very soon-ish. I just wish we could already see which games would work well whilst not owning a Steam Deck.You can: https://www.steamdeck.com/en/verified
You'll definitely get the best setup possible with that budget. Good to really good gaming pc builds are around 1-3k I'd say. When I built my own PC 2 years ago I had help of my colleagues who all are IT guys (PC worth around 1,5k). Since im still an intern i cant really give you a lot of help, but I could send you 1-2 things I feel like are really good that I use plus the costs arent too high so you dont have to invest everything you haveTo be fair, I don't mind spending a lot on it because this money would have gone to my previous hobby anyway. My current PC was 5500 EUR. I am aiming to get the i9 13900K or the Ryzen 9 7950X CPU. And for the GPU I was aiming for the 3090 Ti or the 40 series. But since these cables are being burnt I am not sure to choose which.
I decided to quit a hobby I had for a long time. Sold a lot of stuff that gave me a lot of money back that I want to invest in a next-gen gaming PC.
I've been asking several people which CPU and GPU I should get but since I have to change my motherboard and RAM and everything I think it's better that I build a completely new gaming desktop. I am not tech savvy and believe me I have been searching for stuff but I feel completely lost as I have no knowledge of all this. I just want the fastest and strongest CPU, the best GPU on the market right now (even though it will probably be overkill I am looking at the 40 series of nvidia, although I have seen videos of the cables being burnt), and some ultra fast SSD storage, preferably around 4 TB. I would also like 64 GB of RAM because I use video editing programs, Photoshop and I game a lot. Also a good motherboard to fit all these things. About the cooling, on my current PC I have custom built EKWB Quantum Hardline Liquid Cooling. If it is possible, I would like it back in my next setup again. Also some extra information, I game in 1080p resolution, but I want to max out any FPS I can get to get the smoothest experience. I want a card that also handles 4K very well since I'm planning to go 4K soon. Can anyone help me to find a next-gen build to cover all this?
My budget will be around €7000,00
Yeah, I just saw some articles that Windows 11 improves gaming etc, but Windows 10 works fine for me.
Is windows 11 better for gaming? Been holding back on updating.I read some articles that say its better for it. I found this article about now. But I'm not a techy or a software expert by any means...
Windows 11 does have benefits but it has bigger issues imo.
Reason I switched back to Win10 is because I just randomly after an update started getting garbage performance in my games, CS went from 300 FPS+ to barely able to get 100. Useless for me when I use 240hz monitors
He has budget for 4090… why are you suggesting 3080 hahaReading that guys previous posts made me realise that the bots are getting smarter
Other big issue was most GPU’s are made In Taiwan so during covid they had no workforce, the factory’s are now in full swing so GPU’s will become cheaper and cheaperThats what I meant ^^
Once the prices go up they don’t like to come downThey already have, its just NVidia with their silly pricing.
