thoughts on my build /g/
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tdPsD3
built this last year using a spare power supply and harddrives. if you were to build it now heres the list http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4bTVCJ
>970
i got it a week after it came out then a month later the 3.5gb shit popped up and i raged. oh well cant go back on it now.
Im waiting for pascal to replace my 970

Nvidiakeks everyone.
>>51526482
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tdPsD3
its like an updated version of mine above
>>51526632
that or i get AMD cause im still mad
>>51526482
Pretty standard build, only questions are
>why not spend a little extra and get 980ti?
>why WD black instead of Caviar Blue?
>>51526561
970 is still a pretty powerful card regardless of the 3.5 thing. Seems like a pretty decent build, but why'd you get a z97 mobo if you have a locked cpu?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CZjCTW
R8 my budget build. I chose an Intel processor so I could upgrade later without changing mobo, chose a z97 for same reason. I'm looking to do some 1080p gaming on high with 50+ fps, any suggestions?
would it be sensible to merge /guts/ and build threads
both could benefit from more people and they are similar topics
>>51526482
Get a z97 board so you can oc your unlocked cpu. For $450 either get two used 290x in crossfire, or go up to 500 and get 970sli, 780ti sli or a fury. With something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-pro850wp1850snlb9 for your psu.
>>51528015
Just get a used 280x, there's really no reason to buy that gpu.
How is this build? Would a 380x/380 be enough to hold me over until new cards come out or should I get the 390?
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/youngflouse/saved/fgcscf
>>51528476
I prefer this one

Before any of you fucks say anything the CPU cooler is like that because it otherwise interfered with my GPU backplate
Upgrades to do;
>paint wall
>more SSD space
started this build around 3 years ago.
some mods and custom paint went into it.

>not removing a gay ass backplate which does nothing but make the card heavier, which increases its price, its price to transport, and increases chances of having your PCI E slot being damaged
top kek
Still in progress but:
>>51530324
what the fuck do you do that needs that much ram and two titans
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fNNwBm Still need a case, keyboard, and monitor, will I be able to afford that without going over 700?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FKV6Jx
Already have case and power supply from previous build that my friend helped me make ages ago, so pretty new to this. think its future proof, not so sure.
>>51530778
RAM drives, guy
>>51530324
Not op but probably used for rendering/editing
>>51530309
>not removing gay ass backplate
the backplate is sexy as fuck and I don't feel like buying special bits just to remove it
>increases price
no? the card had no premium because of the backplate
>price to transport
am active duty so I get free shipping regardless
>increases chance of PCIE slot damage
maybe if you have a shitty chink motherboard but have you ever broken a slot?
post your build faggot, lets see
>>51530927
nothing is future proof but that should last you a while, you might want to wait for Pascal and if you need a graphics card to last the wait just pick up a 670 or related for cheap local used.
I need to update this photo, all the fans are noctuas now.
I want to get a second 670 to hold me over until Pascal drops, but every fucker seems to think theirs is worth $200+
I'm upgrading my 270x. Should I just go with 290s or 390s?
>>51531512
390
>>51531512
buy 290 used if you can, what res are you playing what games at?
>>51531578
1080p right now, but plan on going 1440p
>>51531594
and what games do you play?
>>51531611
unoptimize triple a titles.

you sir are only confirming my earlier assumptions that you are, in fact an utter moron.
>maybe if you have a shitty chink motherboard but have you ever broken a slot?
have you never seen or heard of GPU sag?
you're already having issues with the sheer fact that your HS&F wont fit because of this shit, and you still defend it like it does anything but increase the price and chances of damage to your hardware
10/10 confirmed for being a retarded shill

This looks like that YTer's, Kosdff's rig from Ironhide. Not entirely sure, but I've seen this picture floating around before.
Fuckin hyped, gonna take advantage of black friday and cyber monday deals and go hardcore on some upgrades.

>fury x
>amd cpu
Why. If you can afford a fury x how can you not afford even like a 4690k
>>51531833
this. i would like to shill for amd but i really can't when it's about cpus.
Basic overview of my budget build, I only spent about $400 on it:
AMD FX-4350 @ 4.6 ghz
120 GB SSD
8 GB DDR3 RAM
1 TB WD Blue HDD
GTX 960
Did I do gud /g/
>>51531833
Because I already have everything marked purchased and I refuse to touch intel chips due to their terrible business practices.
>>51526482 (OP)
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/m4r6Jx
PCPP doesn't have a Corsair AX1200i Platinum.
Future plans are to throw in another Fury X for Christmas when there's a few deals going on.
>>51532284

kek
Complete philistine attempting to build my first pc with black friday deals. How good of a computer do you think I will manage for a max of $1500-2000? I am trying to keep it to $1500 because I plan to get a monitor grade tv or just a monitor that I can use as a tv since space is an issue so I need it to be 2 in one. The monitor I am aiming for 4k.
So i'm going for a build close to $600, and need a good mid-range card.
GTX 960, or an R9 380 STRIX?
Negros I am trying to make a build <700$ preferably using the parts I have salvaged from my old build shown here
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/svn7Q7
I am not sure what can stay and what should go though based on that amount
halp?
>>51532880
Which ever you can get for cheaper.
>>51533026
They are both about $180
What is the next step up from a 960/R9 380?
>>51528869
Does anybody recommend this build? not sure if i should just go 4690k or hit skylake.
How well does an overclocked G3258 do with a 960?
Build I bough off of Craigslist for $550, just had to pay for hard drive. Finally getting around to buying a new case and fans etc just now. Considering crossfiring the 280x, going to buy a soundcard since the onboard sound is staticy

Is this the best I can do? I'm sorry that it's all on amazon. I'm using my amazon credit and have no choice. Everything has to be from Amazon. I already have a spare 500GB HDD to use until I get extra cash for an SSD. I want this PC to last 4 years. I don't play too many video games but it's nice to be able to handle one..

Pretty sure you're running those cards at x16 and x8.
I want to enter the Master Race but I dont want to break the bank, I figured this is the time to build seeing as black friday is coming, I got around 1000 to spend, someone help me out?
>>51533964
I suggest you make a list of the parts that you want and look at either craigslist or ebay to get your build done for cheap with no taxes if you live in the US.
>>51533986
The problem is I have no idea what im looking for, to be honest. This is my first PC
>>51533964
ima amd fan but
intel k series cpu
board that supports overclocking
slightly fast ram
ssd
$200-$300 gpu
80+ psu
>>51533365
shit
>>51533986
I am in a similar boat to him and have a bit more money to spend so I am buying off newegg. Is going between pcpartspicker and newegg ratings a decent benchmark to base purchases off? I know some basics already like sticking to nvidia for graphics cards.
I have a question. Do I need a wired network card?
How is this build looking?
I currently have 8 gigs of RAM I'm going to rip out of this computer, so I don't need to buy that.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BxV7Q7
have I fucked up?
>>51534086
Every mobo under the sun comes with at least one ethernet port. The one you picked included.
>>51534143
Okay thanks, that's what I figured. How about the rest of the build? Am I forgetting something really important?
>>51534169
I'm >>51534026
you should consider working an ssd into your budget
>>51534252
but not at the expense of actually performing components imho.
i think ssds should be included as soon as you have reached the level of performance you want and still have leftover budget.
>>51534252
Memes aside, why?
It seems like less space for a comparable amount of money and the only benefit is faster loading times afaik.
>>51526482
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Pq7TQ7
>>51534011
>>51534080
This is my build>>51533946. I spent $440 for the cpu off of craigslist, $135 for the 32gb ram and $130 for the motherboard both at ebay. If I had bought it from a store like newegg the cpu would have cost at $1030, the ram for $185 and the mobo for $240. I easily saved more than half the cost and that's not even including taxes and shipping. If you decide to bargain hunt like I did I suggest that you buy the cpu, ram and psu from a private owner and just pick the mobo up at an online retailer as there's so many things that can go wrong with a mobo if you have no experience on troubleshooting the issues.
As for a good build I suggest getting a 5820k with a cheap mobo like msi or asrock as both of those gets put on sale the most. A quality 600w psu should be enough for a single card of any kind and lastly get either a 4x4gb DDR4 2133 or a 2400 as for the best bang for your buck.
>>51534316
buying used psus is also not really to be recommended. otherwise, i agree.

>>51534354
Used psu are fine if it's a newer model that's just released less than a 1- 2 years ago. When buying used psu and mobo I tend to ask the seller if they still have the receipt and if I can have it as well for warranty purposes.
Building a rig for the first time, mostly to use for 1080p gaming. Don't know a whole lot but
was hoping for some advice on a build that a friend suggested for me.
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/itankthings/saved/
cooling fan seems kinda weak and psu seems a bit overkill, but want to get a good setup down
while black friday deals are gonna be here

Why u mad it clearly met your requirements if you didn't notice. Shows once again nvidia™ is the best choice!
>>51532013
U don't have a psu
Any feedback is appreciated, I was torn on the cpu between the i5 4670k, i7 4790k, and i5 6600k. Realistically I wouldn't upgrade the cpu for a few years.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/P4p8D3
>>51535410
Your build is shit, get this instead.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XwNqjX
My dream build I'm saving for, that will be 1080P future-proofed for many years, opinion?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TQjpCJ
>>51537431
There's no such thing as "future-proofing" you either have powerful computers or you have weaker computers. If you want to have better performance in the future then you buy new components.
Your build is retarded on so many levels.
- Buy more RAM when you need it, every motherboard comes with 4 slots standard, except ITX, so there's no need to buy more than 2x4GB kits of RAM, buy another kit later if you run out of RAM.
- Buying a CPU that costs $170 more for performance that's almost the same, and will continue to be the same isn't "future-proofing" it's being stupid. Get a 6600K and be done with it.
- H55's are shit, get a decent air cooler with good mounting and you'll be able to transplant it into future builds 5+ years from now.
- You will just about never *need* a 1TB SSD, get mechanical storage when it's cheap and buy more later when prices for flash memory come down and speeds get better.
- The 780T is a shit case, get something that won't break as soon as you look at it. Computers sizes are trending downward, 10 years from now your 780T is gonna be cracked, faded and still stupidly big.
- RM is just one letter away from RMA, get a PSU with decent warranty with the right wattage and you'll be fine.
- Expensive motherboards are shit, get one that supports the right chipset and has all the right ports.
Here's a build because you'd probably fuck it up again. Better performance (Faster RAM, better GPU clock, faster SSD, better SSD interface) and almost 500 buckeroos cheaper.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DPxc8d
>>51526482
Here's mine.
Used for browsing and occasionally playing LoL or CS, hence no vidya card.
Rarely goes above 45 degrees, it's silent and I have had 0 issues with the motherboard which I didn't expect considering how dirt cheap it was.
>>51537879
You're doing it wrong. Why would you buy an i7 and not buy a separate gpu? It doesn't matter what you play, that's a pretty obvious mistake.
>>51537857
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DPxc8d
Different guy but this build is my kind of price range since I am looking to drop around this much. I have two questions if you don't mind:
Are there any good quality cases that are built on their side rather than straight up?
Would I be better off getting a large monitor (that has hdmi input) or a TV (capable of 4k) for my display? I need both in one due to lack of room space.
>>51537919
I had the i7 from my previous system where I also had a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 which shit the bed when out of warranty.
So I bought a new case, PSU and motherboard and built a "new" system.
I gave the GPU away to some guy who claimed he could fix it by putting it in an oven at 250 degrees for ten minutes but I haven't heard anything from him since so I'm guessing that didn't work out.
>>51537919
>>51537987
But I'm curious as to why it's a mistake anyway, care to educate me?
b-b-ut anon!
>>51523560
There was a build thread..
>>51537993
Because the price difference between an i7 and an i5 is enough to pick up a decent GPU, while the performance difference between i7 and i5 is often negligible depending on your workload.
>>51538070
Bought i7 instead of i5 because of hopeful longetivity, I am not very rich so I don't have chance to 'update' my PC most likely in a while. had to build the best PC I could now and had no room to be efficient with price:performance, just pure bang.
>>51538095
>implying the performance difference between an i5 and same gen i7 will magically increase with time
That's not how it works, anon. A 4770k won't last longer than a 4670k.
>>51538127
The i7 had hyperthreading so it should help on the longrun the i5 didnt?
Micro ATX build - air 240 or SG10?
>>51538142
Not really. That's the part that depends entirely on your workload.
>Used for browsing and occasionally playing LoL or CS
For instance, hyperthreading doesn't benefit you at all here.
Where it does benefit you is when you're doing stuff like video encoding, and even then a 4770k is only about 15-20% faster in a best case scenario than a 4670k at the same clock speeds.
>>51538234
You're talking to a different anon btw, but I'm (>>51537879 still reading your posts.
>>51538234
Well to be frank I only paid 130 euros for brand new, still in box i7 6700k.

probably going to pick this up soon because i found a very good deal on the mobo+cpu. this is mainly going to be a second desktop + steam machine for some gaming in the living room. any obvious improvements i could make before pulling the trigger?
