I see stuff like this all the time on this board when people ask about parts and builds. Who cares if I need it or not? Maybe all I use my computer for is watching Korean cartoons and typing essays. So what? is something wrong with wanting a super awesome computer for the sake of having one? This is our hobby, after all.

You could use that wasted money on something else. Like going to the gym.

You still get to keep a computer that fits your computing needs plus become a functional human.
>>
Is there something wrong with it? No.

Is it retarded and a waste of money? Yes.
>>
People are telling you to not waste money on something you don't need. If you want to waste your money go ahead and do it.

There is literally no reason to get that unless you are modelling skyscrapers.

It's a waste of money depending on what you are going to be doing.

It's extra money that could be going towards something else.

I there's kind of a spectrum here. Stuff like PCI-E SSDs and extra RAM are fairly decent futureproofers (they'll become more useful as software gets more intense) but there really isn't any benefit in a workstation graphics card for most of us.

And it's all anecdotes but I definitely feel a difference between the PCI-E SSD in one of my machines and the SATA SSD in the other. The difference isn't colossal but it's perceptible, particularly when doing anything I/O heavy.

A computer is a tool. If building an expensive tool and then not using it is your "hobby", then you are the biggest kek known to man.

Just throw your money into a river if that's your hobby.

This has to be bait. Buying expensive shit that you have no use for is not a hobby.
>>
>>51728617
you don't need an i7.
get a xeon instead, they're cheaper.
64GB ram? time for ramdisk.
quadro? i hope you're not gaymen.
pcie flash?
yea. placebo.
80 plat?
gold is economical.

People get mad on /g/ when they learn you have no intention of playing video games.

>that feel when I was going to buy a less expensive mobo but didn't know if phase regulators would make a noticeable real world difference or not

I can't help but buy expensive high end shit. I'm the most paranoid motherfucker alive so I feel like if I don't I'll get a defective part or something.

Some of us are OK sacrificing a little non discernable FPS to have our games look better (muh 10 bit color) instead of just sloppily rendering polygons as fast as possible so we can post charts on the internet and brag.

do you even have the monitor to back that up

Are you guys seriously so miserly that you never splurge on something you enjoy that isn't an absolute necessity? No wonder you're so miserable. Buy hamburger helper instead of ramen sometime.

OP, most of these neckbeards are posting from builds like that and just don't want anyone to have a better computer than them. Their entire ego is based on their read/write rates, fps, and boot times, and they would commit sudoku if outdone. If they took their own advice they'd just have Mac minis and chrome books.
>>
>>51729443
Op is this sort of neckbeard, he just said he wanted sixty fucking four gigabytes of ram and a quadro. How retarded can you get? You will never need 64 GB for muh CP and even less a quadro for muh rendering so fuck completely off

This. Be careful of this. 80 plus platinum is nice to reduce noise of fan, though, and ran is fine to keep you until new ddr comes out, but desu you can play countless classic games that don't eat your PC, and you'll probably be better for it, because they're usually classic not just for gfx and killing processors.

this seams to be a prevelent view amongst computer people who want to build it for you for whatever reason.

thing they don't realise is people who want to design 3d games -DO- want to model skyscrapers. and even if not you need a non shit CPU and other stuff because graphical programs 100%'s the CPU like it went out of style in the 80s.

I thought the extra expense was to pay for the custom drivers they send you when you have a project specific issue, other than that whats the point?

The first two are right. If what you want to do is gaymen, then any i5 will do. You virtually never ever use over 16GB of RAM unless you're doing some sort of actual work.

A Quadro K4000 will be worse at any gaymen than a regular GTX-series card would.

I am very consern about power usage and relabilty of my home server and desktop, by last psu burn 2 disk and a motherboard. My laptop broke hdd 4 months after buying. My portable hdd, broke too, but it was mostly my fathers. My sdd cart with keypass had bad sector and cleared my passwords.

I just hate my life and i am miserable, everything keps broking even few moths old laptop, i just want to kill myself and all that computer. To be said yes i made backups, but that is too consuming, and by shitty 1 mb upload i can't upload to cloud. I have lost countless data, my source codes, paintings, memorys, photos, files that are not avelibe anymore, some of that private traker porn that is hard to get. And i am sucidal everytime i power on computer and i fear that some power grid will shit on my voltage control again. Sorry for blog
>>
>>51734167
>ac wifi? I bet your internet is nowhere near that speed, just use n.
Fiber reporting in 600mb/s, all wifi is shit even with dual ac, you will get no more then 300 mb/s and that will spike up and down like shit.
Only lan cables or as i have tested ethernet over power. Just test it i have been there. Someone should make nice infographics about it
>>
>>51728617
>>you don't need an i7 anon, not many applications use that many cores or hyperthreading
That's true, but they also forgetting the fact that there OS's process scheduler is able to schedule processes for each core, so the more cores, the more processes that can run in parallel.

>>using consumer grade garbage hardware

>>EVER

why

you can get xeons that cost 3000 dollars 2 years ago for 500 bucks on ebay and run two of them for the price of an i7 and it'll still be kicking 1000 dollar consumer shits can down the road 5 years later

less than 128gb ecc ram isn't worth using
>>
>>51737404
>muh placebo hardware I need to shitpost
>>
Dual Xeon
128 Gigs of ECC Ram
k5000

I do 3D modeling and sclupting / animation etc, etc. This is useful to me.

My gamin pc is a prebuilt i5 with replaced 700 watt psu and fury nano x.

Runs everyone at max settings, cost less than 1600 cause of gpu mainly. No fucks given, do whatever OP.
