For more or less the same price I did a better build.

AMD GPU are simply more bang for your buck so I chose that.

The CPU is the same cause at that price point, it really is the best 4 core CPU on the market.

Lastly while this build is a bit underbudget I really suggest people to go a bit overbudget and get an aftermarket cooler. AMD's stock coolers are trash and suck BBC.

Looking at my build it's hilarious how someone with such a huge youtube channel made such a lackluster build for the same price I made a much better build.

Linus build uses a barebone case with a shoddy PSU and while my build pays more for using better quality case and PSU you still get the same CPU and a slightly better GPU.

should i download more ram.png
18 KB, 461x443
I built my own PC for the first time last year but reused the RAM from my old desktop, it was 4 sticks of 2GB. Now I'm thinking of upgrading to 2 sticks of 8GB, is this going to produce meaningful differences in performance? Specifically I'm annoyed at long loading times.

I use my PC for gaming, streaming, and video recording, if that matters.
>>
>>51436721
lol ram will do literally nothing to load times.

What will it actually do?

What do I need to do to reduce load times?
>>
>>51436721
>>51436771

It wouldn't go wrong to upgrade your RAM to 1600-DDR3 but if you want to greatly reduce load times, get an SSD.

>>
>>51436771
an SSD
>>
>>51436797
What exactly will upgrading my RAM do for my performance?
>>
>>51436839
It will definitely affect performance because you will be switching to faster RAM but it wont be as huge as changing to an SSD. 1600-DDR3 RAM will probably give you around 5% more FPS. You want an SSD because it will make loading from disk extremely fast.

You can get an 120GB SSD for as low as 40 bucks. Go get it!

46$ for 960 was nice fuckup for vessel users, did they bother to review youtube version?

please tell me I am not the only one watching his videos just because he's a qt :3

Is this a joke? All the builds he listed are utter trash.

No no no.

I'm a simple layperson who doesn't know much. What was so bad about his builds? I wouldn't wanna make the same mistakes. I thought they looked fine :o

Is that Linus?

it's probably linus himself.

it won't do a thing. you'll save 1watt of energy.

If i had $2000 for a -gaming- build right now:

8gb and an i5. Pretty unimpressive.
>>
>>51438871
His first build used a barebones case, something that it's a huge no-no.

The second one used a 970 when a 2/390x give more bang for the buck and have actual 4/8 GB of RAM not 3.5

The last build goes full retard with it's parts and to be honest at that point you should do your own research if you are thinking of spending 2k bucks on a PC.
>>
>>51436274
APUs will continue to suck until we get HBM APUs.
DDR3/DDR4 just aren't fast enough to be VRAM.

Linus why don't you get the fuck out of /g/?

I like your build, can I have it?
I couldn't find that PSU for that cheap where I live though.

But he is a race-mixer. He married a mongoloid.

White people can be niggers.
And so can niggers be white people.

pics of qt mongo pls

nah you can't prove that

>>51440115
Sure thing that being said your location changes the prices of the parts tremendously.

But the rule of thumb is to get the most GPU performance without bottlenecking your CPU. Then get a nice OC Motherboard but don't go overboard with it unless you need a certain feature of the more expensive motherboards. Most build guides tend to waste money on either motherboards or RAM which btw just get the cheapest black colored one because it combines with any motherboard.

Case is subjective but I usually have it last because for me a case is just something that hold the parts but different people have different tastes. PSU is extremely important, many people like to gimp out on it but if you want your PC to last, then get a good PSU from a reputable brand. Always try to have a bit of headroom for OC. Modularity is another important part and depends of what you want from your machine.

And lastly the 80+ certification is imperative you get at least Bronze or higher. If your build is near the 1000 W mark, consider getting a Gold or higher because you want to save as much energy as possible.
