What about the 4gb version?
>>51249199
Did you verify that the Hyper 212 will actually fit properly in that case?
Also Seagate a shit, get a WD Caviar Blue 1TB instead.
>>51249878
....will that cpu cooler fit in that case?

fucking why guy?
>>51249943

Have the case, it's beautiful, best video card for the price, only full atx mobo for that price that wont need a bios update, upgradability
>>51250326
Yes, I found a video of someone putting the cooler in the case with no problem whatsoever.
why not the 960? good card for the price, and the 600w psu cuz upgradability

shit, forgot to change psu after deciding to go with 960.
Not 100% sure about that cooler, but I believe I got that recommended by guys who own a 304
>>51250521
900+ reviews 4.5 stars
pretty sure its good

I know the case is overkill, but I plan on at least keeping it and the PSU in the future.

Dude 200$ for a quad core? Just get an 8core processor, for like half the price.

>unironically using the 3.5 meme card
So after a few years it's seems like I will need to upgrade. Currently I'm running on a gtx 560 and x4 960t and I'm reaching a point where new games aren't really playable anymore. I'm fairly poor but also not obsessed with graphics and I'm only playing in 1080p. My first move would have been to buy a gtx 960 with 4g and buy a better cpu later some time. Any other tips or recommendations?
>>51250893
you dont need a $100 mobo. and that processor is too expensive for a 4 core. go with this >>51250961
get a 8350 or 8320. the rest are overkill.
>>51251011
>literally nobody explaining why the 960 is bad
>>51251042
Fucked up vram
>>51251023
If you buy the GPU, you still wont be running shit, cause your CPU will be the bottleneck. If you're going to upgrade, upgrade them both.
Make sure your power supply is high enough to support the upgrade too. You "should" upgrade your motherboard too, but you don't have too.
No one really does.

>>51250602
Have consider an AIO ?
Lots of people love them even if they are not autism /g/ approved.
Your build look really awesome but if you have the money for that case , gpu and cpu , id say get something better then an hyper 212 , there are also a lot of other air option before the AIO. My H105 keep my Oc K-serie always cool and i love it!
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/h7cdkL
upgrading around christmas and january
should i stick with 4460 or oc'd 8350
>>51251042
We're talking about the 970. However the 960 is shit due to being worse than the 380 and the 280X, and, overall, just a weak card.
>>51251165
Nah stick with the 4460. It's good enough.
>>51251165
go with '60
>powercolor
My "Buen Fin"/Black friday PC buy list.
In priority how i will get them Most probably/Less probably.
GPU:GTX750Ti/GTX 950
CPU:i5-4460/i5-4590
HSF:212 EVO
MOBO:GA-Z97-UD3H-BK
RAM:4GB RAM
HDD:1TB WD Blue
CASE:HAF912/Corsair 300r/Corsair 200r
PSU: EVGA 430W, might push to 500W B but not sure if i need 500W.
So how does it look guys? if all goes wrong i will get a I3-4160.
Is the case big enough for the Motherboard(all of the 3 cases)? is the PSU good enough for everything?
>>51251265
you're ok with 430
>>51250060
still shite, get the 380
>>51250434
That simply isn't true. The 380 is more powerful. Yes, it sucks up more power, but that isn't really an issue. A 500 watt psu will handle it just fine.
>>51251330
>not getting the fury
>>51251265
Drop the aftermarket cooler, your cpu comes with one that is fine on a budget. Go for 4460. 950 is leagues ahead of the 750ti.
>>51251073
Thanks for the advice, any specific cpus which would be feasible?

Best bang for you buck. Plus, with Black Friday coming up, it'll be less than $100, which is a pretty good fucking deal.
>>51251362
I know that 950 is better than the 750Ti but the 750Ti is 80 bucks cheaper than the 950.
I just want a card that works, because pretty much any card will work better than the IGPU.
Also im on a tight budget as you can see.
I will drop the 212 EVO, i just wanted a quiet HSF because the current one i have its literally a jet engine and is driving me mad, my actual PC its not even under full load.
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/CandyVenom/saved/PxfzK8
rate mine, i think the PSU could be cheaper
>>51251394
Thanks again, though with these prices I'm probably better of buying a console for now and get back to pc gaming once I have more of a disposable income
>>51251027
Recommendation for mobo?
Are 8350's/8320's that good?
Rate my new setup

Jesus man that is over kill. You were better off with like, idk 600w?
>>51251520
Nice build, eh!
No doot aboot it!
>>51249199
2gb VRAM card is a mistake.
>>51251513
You can overclock them all m8
I have the 8120
it's up to 4.7 ghz with a h80 corsair cooler
>>51251524
it was only 100 bucks, bout the same for other psus
I also want it to sli in the future as I can upgrade the cpu and add 2 more graphics cards
>>51251513
Pretty much any mobo with a am3+ socket.
If you want me to be more specific, best and cheapest mobo you should get is the MSI 970A-G43. You can find one for less than $50.
>>51251560
>only $100
Nigga where?! Point me the direction so that I can buy one now.
>>51251539
I should have been more careful with my links
The only complaint I know would be against the 970, and I have no excuse, I just like the low power consumption and evga higher end cards in general.
Bought an ASUS 750Ti to give my 5 year old desktop a little more life..
Things been crashing during windows startup now.. freezes.
Rolled back the drivers, works 50% of the time now.
If it freezes during windows startup.. I press the reset button.. starts properly this time.
lol finally considering an upgrade to windows 10 in the hope that the graphics card will work right..
This is why PCs are suffering.. they cant keep their crap together compared to the ease of a tablet...
Well which nVidia card would be a good alternative for the 960 (money-wise)?
>>51251520
Change that motherboard. You can get a great one for 1/4th of the price. Also, the ram is nice, but you can get that for $60 on Amazon.
Get more memory. 500gb is not gonna cut it.
Also, $400 for a quad core? Do yourself a favor and get an 8-core processor.
Better, cheaper, and will be able to run next gen games more efficiently than a quad core.
>>51251641
What's the CPU?
>>51251595
really hope this doesn't show private info, pls don't dox me if it does.
note the rebate as well
What's the best card for just under $200
Preferably $170
>>51251665
The 980Ti. The 960 is shit. The 970 is shit. The 980 is half decent.
>>51251457
>>51251265
Also i forgot a important part of the PC, what is a good 23" Monitor? is the Asus VS239H-P good enough? this thing will be pretty much 30% of my budget, and is actually going over my budget right now.
Also this is why i want to get a HSF, i don't want to deal with stuff like this later on:

Get rid of that 960. Rest is fine.
>>51250602
If you're going to that sort of setup, don't cheap out of an SSD. Otherwise cool.
>>51250689
Everything looks fine
>>51250704
The 970. Get rid of it. Everything else is fine.
>>51250893
For the same price of that CPU/MoBo, you get a i5 unlocked/z-board.
>>51251460
Everything is great, save for the GPU being a tad too much but not an real issue.
>>51251520
Get rid of the motherboard and CPU possibly. Get rid of the 970. Get yourself an SSD.

>>51252387
Every test I've seen shows the 380 using more power
>>51252386
I was reading the other day about a 750 ti (or 780) that had no fans on it if you were looking for a good / cheap card for silence
>>51252031
Do you think i should change the Asrock mobo for a MSI H97M-G43?
Then evga ssc
>>51251708
>>51251837
Oh dude I just found a refurbished one on the newegg website for 70 bucks
Idk about you but I have no problems using refurbished for personal stuff. I'd put it in a customers computer for a repair too.
>>51252567
Out all used PC parts to buy, i think you should never buy a used PSU.
>>51252590
I suppose so, although I've never had a problem with refurbished items in my life.
Do you think it's more inclined to fail again or that older parts were not replaced?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ghc2dC
Anything I can cheap out on? I picked the PSU for the price, not for the capacity.
>>51249199
R8 pls
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/MPops/saved/XjCD4D
>>51252651
Don't cheap on your psu dude
shit could fry everything
>>51252633
Probably, but you should never cheap out in the PSU since this greatly affects your PC lifetime.
>>51252344
You're talking about such insignificant power consumption here. Even less than the 970/390 one. Yes it does have less, so much so that you could not tell in variance with the rest of the power bill. But yes, it uses like <40w more.
Clock speeds are not comparable to one another. They don't scale equally.
The 380 is a stronger card, when both are stock and both are overclocked.
>>51252387
May be confusing the numbers around there. You mean the 380.
>>51252365
Get rid of the memory. 1600 is identical and cheaper. Squeeze in an SSD if you can, makes life much easier and faster. I feel like your CPU/Mobo/GPU selection are good but you're spending the majority of your money there and cheaping out of the rest.
>>51252386
i5-6500 with a Z-board. The Z board can overclock but the non-k processor cannot. Change one of the following. i5-6500k or H-board. There is no need for such high frequency memory unless you need what it offers over regular 2400mhz. You're missing some storage. SSD/HDD
>>51252517
Yeah, you'll get a high quality board. Less chance of RMA. Last I saw the figures, ASRock had the highest RMA numbers of all major vendors
>>51252542
Everything looks like. Get 2400 memory over 3000 unless you NEED it for editing. Which GPU? 970/960 then don't bother.
>>51252651
I spend a good amount on my PSU's because they're the heart of the system. Nothing works without it. Everything is perfectly fine in that build. SuperNova's are decent.
>>51252652
Get rid of that Xeon. i5-4690k. Everything else looks fine.
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/AzulHunter/saved/cq4frH
Here is mine.
Thoughts?
Ignore 16gb because whether i use that much or not still want it.
One ssd is for os alone the other for games and important shit
2tb of hd is for random shit
guys need advise.
i'm considering of selling my Dell 1440 IPS 27, its a great monitor with perfect picture quality(except blacks) but its a nighmare playing a game in it, 1440p need fucking forse power also the 8ms response time has really nasty ghosting in the screen.
i want 1080p back, but good, for great gaming, gsync stufff, 120hz maybe, will be worth it?
>>51249199
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4nGs23
What are some solid, aesthetic cases that are ATX mid or uATX? It seems like there are almost none, the one in this build isn't even that great looking but it's miles above anything else I could find for under $200.
Pic related looks bretty good but I don't really like case windows and it's still kinda expensive
12gb or 16gb of RAM for gaymen
>>51253052
ddr4 or 3?
>>51253010
120hz means 3d nigga
>>51252590
yeah it's up there with mice/keyboards and AMD gpus for "shit you don/t buy used"
>>51253121
Either
Get this instead family http://pcpartpicker.com/p/X44RdC
>>51253156
well it depends on your mobo
if ddr3 get 12 and set up tri-channel hell i've never done it not sure if you can even do it with 4 sticks
if you have ddr4 get 16gb
>>51253121
Get a ddr4 mobo so that it'll be easier to upgrade properly.

PSU is the heart of the computer.
People always cheap out on PSUs and that's the reason many PCs last nothing.
A bad PSU can wreck your entire PC so NEVER EVER gimp out on a PSU.

>heatsink comes with thermal compound
>optical drive really does not need a brand
>250 GB ssd probably is overkill for most users
>you don't need a gold rated PSU
>>51253699
Im not that guy but here is something else.
A bad PSU will also drain more energy and waste it more as heat, reducing its already short lifespan and damaging everything connected to it.
If a PSU is your Heart pumping think of a cheap PSU a Hearth with cancer pumping cancer cells to the rest of your body (In this case your CPU which is your brain and Motherboard which is your bones, also your GPUs which is your eyes.).
>>51253762
if anything is giving me cancer it's your post
every single computer component gives off heat
PSU heat is the least of your worry since it won't be much and if your PSU is properly placed will go straight our your case
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jLfYxr
What does /g/ think?
Already got HDD and a lil cheeky SDD ready, as well as RAM (RAM is DDR3 so take that into account as well) but how's it look?
>>51252889
>>51252953
Thanks, anons. I'll pick a PSU from the same series, but with a smaller capacity, and I'll thoroughly check the reviews.

>>51252651

The PSU is actually fine
I didn't even look at the build before i said dont cheap, because well, don't cheap
supernova is a great series tho
>>51253738
Paste that comes with the heatsink is sub-par from what people say.
Cheapest drive with good read/writes that ships with amazon.
250 is on sale for the same price as the 120
Don't skimp out on PSU's, or so i've been told.
This is my build that I've been working on, can anyone think of some improvements that will keep it under $1400?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MbNmt6
>>51254248
Change out that Seagate drive for a Western Digital Black.
Whats the cheapest I can get something running Fo4, preferably looking on par if better than consoles? I'm planning to join the "glorious pc master race". I haven't got the fucking foggiest about this building lark, all just seems really expensive.

I went with the 380 instead of 960, kinda wish I would have gotten the 960 since the 380 is only a bit stronger and runs a bit hotter, plus the "shadowplay" equivalent of amd sucks ass and updating drivers is more annoying.
Overall it only has marginally better price per performance over the 960, but that is gonna get eaten up by the electricity bill in the long run so its not really fair to say it has a better PpP unless you are gonna ditch it within the next month or two. This is of course only a problem if you don't live in the sub arctics with an over taxed energy supply and wont notice an extra 80W on your bills.

Add some wings so your case can have better stability when you add those 3 red led 120mm fans.
>>51254805
So the fans are overkill? Never built a pc before so I was just being on the safe side lol.
Please r8 and give suggestions
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rmh47P
>>51254835
Im sure your post is bait from the build but here is it anyway.
Motherboard is cheap but not that great, will work just fine.
>Buying windows
>Home premium at that
Everything else looks fine.
>>51254840
Why get that cpu and not get at least an r9 390 to go with it. Or just get an informative like $140 less
>>51249199
you know your underpowered CPU comes with a cooling fan designed specifically to cool that exact processor and run within manufacturers temp specs
>>51254927
Did you know Aftermarket fans make less noise than the average stock fan?
>>51254927
>use stock fan
kill yourself
>>51254927
Also, already purchased CPU
never had a single person ever tell me its bad
>>51255058
Its not bad, just overpriced, you could have got something better like the i5-4460 for almost the same price.
Just ignore him.
Also your 212 EVO wont fit inside your case.
>>51254636
looks way to gaymer for me
the h440s lines looks alright but it's kinda big and I don't like any of it's color schemes
Sorry about not posting a screenshot.
This is a rough idea of what I want, I plan to get parts on black friday and boxing day.
Any suggestions?
Also, I was considering swapping the 280X for a GTX 960 because it's more efficient and gets less heated, and is also cheaper.

>>51255328
GA-B85M-D3H.
You are better reading this:
http://www.logicalincrements.com/
I5-4460+GTX 950 will be enough to run it at High settings, 750Ti probably will run it at High Sub 60FPS but more than 30.
>>51254182
If you can get it cheap.
>>51255328
Also if you want to "Join master race tier" Go for a Z97 motherboard with a better I5 CPU.
What i told you is good enough to run it at med-high settings but thats it.
>>51255383
Honestly med would do for me, if it substantially brings the price down anyway
live in a hot environment so thats why so many fans
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6BYmt6
>>51255295
if ur gonna overclock ur cpu, i would get a cpu cooler. if ur not gonna overclock ur cpu, then get the i5-4690 without the 'k'. k just means you can overclock it but you pay a premium for that feature.
there's no real need to overclock btw. that's a really good cpu and won't be bottlenecked by any game except maybe arma 3 but that game was programmed by a bunch of monkeys.
>>51255411
Also if you want to upgrade later on like you said, get a Z97 motherboard for $150 instead a B85 motherboard.
You have no space for upgrades with the GA-B85M-D3H, also no overclocking, even if you wont overclock its better to get one.

Yes, i would change the GTX 750Ti for a 950 or 960, depends on your budget but the $80 difference is worth it.
You will be able to upgrade to a different CPU later on, or right now if you want, I5-4690 and K version will get a huge discount this black friday because its popular.
I5-4590 is more powerfull than the 4460 and its just $12 more.
Case haves fans.
PSU is good enough, you would be using around 290W with that build but you will need a good powerful PSU if you want to add a real videocard later, or just a AMD videocard in general.
>>51255083
$113 and $190 almost same price k
also
I guarentee it will
I've seen atleast 5 people do it
>>51255598
Any idea how much my overall build will cost if I get it all on black friday, I'm not familiar with how big the price drops are? Also which 950/960 should I get, there are about 50 of em.
>>51255818
ASUS, MSI, EVGA always make good cards, get the MSI 950 for $155.
Huge, like 20~30% total build discount.
Some parts get from 10% to 50% discount.
>>51255818
Black Friday offers next to no discounts for internals. You might save on some peripherals, like a monitor, but otherwise just buy things the next time you see them on sale.
Get a r9 290 for 219$ on newegg fag
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vtGs23
Went with
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127841 since it was on sale at the time.
Already paid for everything so I hope I didn't fuck up too bad.
>>51255985
Looks perfect.
Why that motherboard? anyway its not a bad choice, but not a good choice either.
PSU is somewhat around the limit so watch it if you add another one.
Add a 212 EVO if you want, but it should be fine without it.
>>51255985
Only thing I see wrong is the 970
>>51255270
Yeah, not gorgeous but certainly not ugly, but seems like a steal at $30 so maybe.
Good find though, thanks
>>51249199
help me, what gpu is better for the money . i am on a budget i only need to buy a cpu and gpu for my build.

Sapphire R9 is better.
>>51256142
>sapphire r9
>>51256206
thanks guys.
Can somebody help me with a decently cheap build ~400$ , the twist is it doesn't need to include os, graphics card, storage, monitor, keyboard or mouse.
looking to do a new build sometime in the future.
around ~2k budget or so
My issue is....when should I start looking? I know skylake just came out recently, but I have also heard some good things coming from the way of AMDs new gpus.
Should I wait til summer 2016 to build?
>>51256405
>Can somebody help me with a decently cheap build ~400$ , the twist is it doesn't need to include os, graphics card, storage, monitor, keyboard or mouse.
What do you want it for? and what do you have.
>>51256418
Get a 1151 Motherboard, a I5-6600K and you are good to go.
Get a cheap videocard and get a good one next year.
>>51256405
at that point just get an i5 and a mobo of your chosen chipset, with an alright fractal case or something. if price is a huge factor you can go with the unlocked pentium
only thing you youll need to splurge on is a PSU. personally i swear by higher end seasonic/corsair
>>51256053
I actually ended up grabbing http://www.microcenter.com/product/433406/Z97-Gaming_5_LGA_1150_ATX_Intel_Motherboard at microcenter because they gave me a deal with the CPU when I picked it up. Waiting on a few things from newegg.
>>51256462
Then everything is just perfect.
Add a aftermarket cooler like a 212 evo and you will have a perfect build.
>>51256480
Thanks man, I might grab one after my next paycheck.
What fucking graphics card should you get in this day and age!? If you get nVidia, you simply get a worse performing GPU and if you buy AMD instead, nVidia will "optimize" games making them run like shit on AMD.
>>51256427
Just wanna play fallout 4 and other new games on medium-high, nothing crazy only expect it to last a year or so
>>51254088
That build is almost exactly like the one I'm about to order. But why the cheap-ass monitor with such a powerful PC?
built this last year in november
>970
got it before the 3.5gb revelation
>900p
eh i dont feel like getting a 1080p monitor until 144hz monitors are cheaper
>>51257317
Is it worth getting 970 anyways?
>>51257317
only if your going to stay with 1080p resolution and under . my computer crashes on ultra witcher 3 cause it goes beyond the 3.5gb it has.
What do I need to make my desktop able play modern games at 1080p 60 fps with high settings? Just a new GPU or should I upgrade anything else?
>51258073
Just a new GPU.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/M6gRdC
Need advice on the mobo-case-fan combo. I like the first two but it's hard to find the right fan to work around both with an "unknown capability" error with PCPP.
>>51258173
thats it? ok. any recs on the GPU? I was thinking about an R9 280x
>>51258245
What is your budget?
1080p@60FPS at best settings possible is kinda cheap.
>>51258274
Also your PSU.
>>51258274
whatever it takes to play modern games at 1080p 60 fps. I'd prefer not to go overboard for the sake of going overboard. not looking to show off my dell in a guts thread
>>51258312
I hope its a standard sized psu, I'm not sure.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tgvz3C
buying it used, how much is it worth?
>>51258344
If you dont know how powerfull you PSU is stay away from AMD cards.
The R9 280x needs a 750w PSU.
Get a GTX 960(120w) or a 950(90w).
If you don't have a extra 6pin cable get a GTX 750Ti, will work just by plugging it in the PCI slot.
>>51249199
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/KfvLZL
>600w sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit
still undeiced on gpu power isn't all that much so i don't even care, not sure what to do.
there is fuck all motherboards for sale and there is even more limited CPU's and gpu's to choose from
everything is sold out.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
and I am almost finished building it for a long wait for zen in 2017
its getting tough guys.

Just built this, my first build, what's /g/ think?
>>51258509
Looks good, enjoy your new PC anon.
>>51258509
install gentoo
>>51258489
the 380 only uses 250watts
what the hell are you smoking mate.
that 960 varies i've seen the OC version of 4GB go over 200watts
not sure if your just making shit up now?
gonna need proof.
>>51258534
It has supplied all of my needs so far and is very incredible
>>51258549
I said it needs a 750w PSU, not that it used 750w.
>>51258585
>750W
maybe for 2 960's?
*shrugs*
>>51258489
ok thanks man
im looking at GTX 750 Ti, GTX 750 Ti FTWGTX, and the 750 Ti SC. Cant really tell the difference here.
I'll check and see if i have an extra 6 pin, doubt it though
>>51258636
You can tun 2 960 with 600w.
>>51258649
Slight 2~6 performance difference, some of those use a 6Pin connector which removes the point of getting a 750Ti.
Get a Zotac 750Ti if you don't know what choose.
>>51258699
good news, i pulled the cover off and it does have an extra 6 pin connector. I also grabbed a pic of the sticker on the PSU, looks like it's rated to 460W.
I have a choice between
powercolor r9 390 psc+ and sapphire r9 390 nitro
Difference is about $20. What should i do?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Gntx3C
Please help, it's my first time building my own PC, I wanna go all out.
Should i make the jump from a 780 gtx to a 980Ti? Currently have a 1080p 60hz ips 27 inch monitor and want to move up to a 144hz monitor or 4k monitor. Also specs are i5 3570k OC'd and 8gb ram
>>51258751
Then you can get a GTX 950 or 960, both are just fine for 1080p@60FPS.
>>51258778
If you are not going to OC CPU - do not buy expensive motherboard find something cheaper
get a smaller psu 650-750 if you are not going to put another video card
And i would take r9 390 instead of 980 to save some money, sell it next year and get a next gen gpu.
I don't understand modular PSUs.
How do you only need some of the cables they give you to keep it on?
>>51258805
so you think ill be able to run a 950 or 960 with the stock PSU then?
>>51258859
Yes.
>>51258880
thanks senpai
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/jx9xzy
how does this look, hopefully it should last a while.
>>51256441
Why would you get an i5 on a 2k budget?
>>51259023
That looks like a huge amount of cash for not that much extra performance.
>>51258778
Buy the Define R5 from Newegg instead of that shit with a window. The window ruins the entire point of the R# series which is silent PCs. And windows scream 14 year old.
>>51259140
well the screen takes up a quarter of the budget, also a 980ti and 6700k should last me at least 2 years while still being classed as top end.
>>51251744
>980Ti
Literally 5 times the price of the 960, I'd hope it was better.
>>51256418
Green and red will both new gpus next year, like they do every year.
Here I'd something like this with 2000.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dvqYxr
![[Dreams] Current.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/no3p85f.jpg "[Dreams] Current.jpg")
So this is what i have so far.
I got a 2tb and a 1tb for it.
Not sure where to go from here, but i want it aircooled no water, might up the power to 750 so if i ever get the chance i can pop in two more lesser graphic cards.
Going to use onboard sound and everything else (mouse,keyboard,screen) will be from my old computer
>>51258479
800-1000
I've got 2 ram chips 8gb each and both 1600 mhz but one voltage is slightly highy then the other. Can I just leave the ram in the pc or should I remove it?
Currently running a
3470S i5
8 gigs of 1333 DDR3
1 gb 6870
520w Seasonic PSU
GPU is obviously getting outdated. Kinda don't want to upgrade my PSU, but I want a R9 290/290x, or something of that nature/price point. Ideas?
>>51259757
Put your build in PCpartpicker and then check power usage and replace gpu accordingly
Where can I get a CD-R burner that goes below 2x writing speed?
So far, all the shit ''modern'' sonic-fast DVD burner only give me trouble with their bad writing and I need to write this CD badly.
Sorry, complete ignorant here.
I plan to build for image editing/illustration (photoshop) and 3D rendering. Every single build I find online is geared towards gaming, but I'm really not into vydia.
The only thing I know is that I need a lot of ram (do I go for the DDR4 ones?).
What should I look for in motherboard, CPU, GPU etc.? 1500€ budget for the whole build (including a case but excluding peripherals)?
>>51260124
This was what I kind of blindly put together by the way: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JqWMhM
It adds up to about 100% of my europoor budget.
>>51260102
set the write speed in options
rate my small form factor build.
recommend monitor plox.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ndh47P
>>51259547
how much would you say without the GPU?
Can I run Fallout 4 and WoW on decent settings if I buy an unlocked Pentium processor (x2 3.2Ghz) with 8GB ram on a 750ti? Really want to spend below $400 for a gaming pc.
Good CPU to upgrade to support my R9 290?
Current: AMD p2 x6 1090t @ stock
Price/Performance
The Athlon, mobo, and ram are just to hold me over until I upgrade to Haswell
Pls no bully
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/seinthebear/saved/cGWRsY
>>51260856
GPU is worth 300-350 on its own, since it performs pretty much the same as the 970.
>>51261585
Why pay 150$ for a temporary mobo?
>>51261687
I'm gonna be fucking around with overclocking, and the board has an Intel nic, it's a requirement for me
just put this together. first build
>>51262601
>970
Why?
>>51263080
I know , I know.
its working great but I do wish I'd just have saved up and got the 980ti.
but for now its fine
>>51263236
Just save up for when nvidia/amd release new cards next year. No point in saving up for a 980ti now. Also do you have any pics of the final build?
>>51263252
no pics of new build yet.
but here's what it replaced.
you can understand, I'm still very happy
>>51263252
that's what I figured, save up for new cards coming out next year.
but will they be compatible with my mobo ?
