>>51855399
All of those are a bit overkill for 1080p imo. Get a r9 380x or gtx 960
>>51855637
Is this a good upgrade of coreparts?
Its ment to be a bit futshure proof so i can just swap the GPU when the next gen is here.
>>51855695

>>51855695
get some better ram in there
dont save on that when you gonna buy a skylake system
>>51855695
What about HyperX Savage DDR4 2800MHz
2x8GB
I need a cheap-ass HDD that won't shit itself two months after buying. The options are Seagate Barracuda, WD Blue or Toshiba DT01ACA100. They're all about €45
What do?
Current HDD is almost filled, SDD is basically full, still have some space on an external I keep around for backups. Should I get another internal HDD or should I just look for another external? I don't really have any conditions, just wondering what others would do.
I'm building a workstation for myself at arch school.
My last desktop was something I put together in 9th grade, it still runs HDEs and an AMD athlon x2.
I'm usually running programs like revit and rhino for modelling and designing, will be exporting flythrough renders, and will post-process in Adobe suite.
Both programs tend to sit on the CPU for renders.
I want to run dual screens.
I can and will upgrade this thing a little over time, but only the RAM, Storage, and GPU, maybe HSF.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vfWPwP
I plan on overclocking the 6600k at least 15%. More if i ever get a bigger fan.
I've already got a 2tb HDD on a seed box at home.
I'll be snagging old 24" displays off of craigs.
Could I get by with a smaller PSU?
Should I go for quality or quantity of RAM?
CPU advice is most appreciated.
>>51856540
Depends on the size of those discs, but I'd delete shit first.
Then I'd get another cryogenic external, and stick everything on that, then start fresh on a new OS install.
If you really need anything from that old install, go back and carry it over to the new workstation manually.
Rate, guys?
>>51856769
also, if it helps any, my current daily driver is an thinkpad x230.
>>51856806
Guess that's probably best, one's a 1tb and the other's 258gb. It's mostly movies/games but I've got all the movies backed up to my external too so I guess they don't really need to be on both. When you say cryogenic, what exactly do you mean. Just like formatted?
>>51856993
I mean cryogenic, like frozen storage.
I got 2 fury-xs for free but not sure what build would complement them. Any ideas /g/?
>>51857309

>>51855757
>get some better ram
What are you gonna suggest? Dominator Platinum? Who gives a shit anyway? RAM will be RAM. Capacity is literally all that matters when picking RAM...

>>51855399
Fury does poorly at 1080 compared to its power. 390x can match it on certain titles.
>>51856843
Well chosen, powerful and balanced.
But man, that psu is overpriced as fuck
>>51856843
Is this aus?
>>51855399
980ti destroys everything in 1080p and 1440p no discussion.
390x If you want a 1080p machine. You can still go 1440p, but you'll need to turn down some things for smooth constant 60 fps.
Fury is a funny case. Better then 390x at 1440p, worse in some cases at 1080p.
>>51858552
6500, 6400 at 2700mhz is too cut down.
>>51858630
Thank you, good sir.
>>51858659
Yes.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XfWKzy
It's basically a build I've been upgrading on which is why there's 2 Seagates for two different prices for example. How do you guys think a single 390 will work for 5760x1080?
>>51858735
did you buy it already? 980 is so expensive there.
FX 8350 or i5 4460?
>>51858958
No, working on it. About halfway there with cash to pay it off with.
970 vs 960 for 1080p
should I get a case with or without a window for my build.
>>51858888
With a 390 a game that it will normally run at 60 fps on ultra at 1080p will run at 5760x1080 at 35 fps with aa off. 390 runs pretty much everything 1080 at 80+ fps currently.
I'd say it would be pushing it. that res is about between 1440p and 4k in requirements.
>>51859018
960 should be able to handle 1080p, but 970 will make sure you have no problems at all for pretty much any game.
>>51859049
Depends if you want to see whats inside or not. Usually windowless cases have more spaces for fans or sound dampening material on the panel where the window would be.
>>51859049
Will your cable management and color coordination be cute onii-chan?
>>51859018
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp[]=2954&cmp[]=3114&cmp[]=3295
depends what you want to do with your build, both are ok. though you get more for your money with the 970
need suggestions for cheap build for dota 2
>>51859018
960 is a piece of junk. Get a 390 nitro if you can afford it.
>>51859158
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mRkRrH
>>51859124
I usually don't play on Ultra anyway. Usually high with DoF and AA turned off and whatever the technical name for pop in distance is turned to medium.
Paying the extra $80-100 for the 390x is a bit much, so I'll probably just upgrade my PSU, overclock the 390 and eventually grab a 2nd one and watercool them so I can finally have an excuse to expand my 240-X. I kinda got the card with the intention of eventually crossfiring it later on since it had plenty of VRAM.
>>51859158
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Xwhdyc
This is the cheapest I'd consider not buying junk.
>>51859192
will the APU alone do the trick?
>>51859136
>>51859137
I will propably still cable manage it well, but I heard a lot of people saying that people with windowed cases should kill themselves. I propably won't look at my pc's guts all the time. I think I'll just go for windowless.
>>51859196
The 390x isn't worth it anyway. 5% increase in frame rate at 1440p over 390 and for the price you could crossfire 290s.
>>51859312
Buy and put it color cycle mode senpai.

What do you guys think? I know it is overkill for that card but that can be upgraded soon.Going to be for video editing mostly and some light gaming but since I play pretty much only horror games I want the power to make everything run as smoothly as possible
Anyone know of a good beginner's guide to custom water cooling and/or recommended component brand?
>>51859225
>DDR3-2000(OC)/1866/1600/1333/1066

Otherwise my changes:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gzkRrH
>>51859778
Swiftech and EKWB have pre-assembled coolers that use MUCH better components than AIOs. Alphacool has the same thing, but you have to assemble it yourself. They just provide the correct parts so shopping isnt a pain.
>>51859686
that mobo is $65 more expensive than this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130868 and has a worse feature set.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4UF39E2338 cheaper and less noise than evo with the exact same performance.
any advice?
i plan on playing the latest games in 1080p (maybe 1440p when i can buy a new monitor)
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/XyP7t6
i can't get all the parts at the moment for a full gaming pc? should i ask the case, psu, thermal paste and the hdd for christmas? or just wait?
>>51860562
May as well wait and save up, I mean what will buying parts now do, they'll collect dust and limit what you can buy at a later date
>>51860668
>>51860562
They'll also reduce the time you have to return something in case they get you the wrong thing or its a DOA product.
R8? The price is incorrect, I'll end up paying USD$923 for everything. Only using it as a developer computer moving around large amounts of data. Not into gayymin
>>51860562
How much are you planning to spend? You should really consider the CPU before anything else.
Asus R8 390 nitro vs msi 970
For 1080p gaymin
>>51860509
Why such an expensive mobo? Dark rock 3 isn't worth the money get a cryorig h7. Thats a terrible price for a 390.
>>51860908
the prices aren't really correct, total will be €1250
is this worth it?
My friend is telling me that his heatsink isn't working, but when I had him run intelburn, his temps never really went goes than ~80.
It's been making clicking noises too. I've never had that happen to me before with a cpu cooler...
the fuck is going on? He hasn't been bluescreening or crashing or anything that would indicate his processor is overheating.
>>51860882
i can spend around €900 atm 300-400 after 3 months
>>51860885
I prefer pepsi the lightness of the flavor makes it less fatiguing to the pallete over the course of the glass.
>>51855068
Sweet build breh, but.. 300 dollar case? Lol k better spare on case and get better specs like 32 GB ram and get a different cooler
>>51856843
Get i5 6500. It's only a few dollaroos more but is a lot better performance wise
>>51861079
Shipping is over $100 on his case. The case itself isn't that much. He's probably going to pay that amount regardless of what case he gets.
I5 4690k i5 6500 or i5 6600/6600k? Was thinking to get a i5. 6500 but not sure about its performance. Should I get 6600k?
>>51860996
>his heatsink isn't working
Does he mean his fan? The heatsink is a giant piece of metal. His fan could just have something hitting it or may be dying. Did you actually inspect the part?
>>51860957
Eh europe prices are too much. I don't know the country but something like http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/NBWj6h would just be so much cheaper for like 90%+ of the performance in the worst case.
>>51861244
Do you already have a 1150 board? Get the 4690k. First build? 6600k. There's no real difference in performance so there's no real need to upgrade if you already have an i5 compatible board.
First build ever. Is it better to go with an i5 6600?
>>51861244
The relative difference is marginal. Get something equivalent to its value to you personally. If your spend hours at your desktop everyday or gaming is number one hobby get the best shit you can afford.
>>51861425
not him but i am still in college and only got a student ob, will this last for about 3 years without any (or small) upgrades for gaming?
>>51860509
>>51861249
sory, yeah the fan.
unfortunately, I live in a different state so I can't physically inspect it.
He's got some big ass black aftermarket coolermaster someone else gave him, but he said the fan blades make a click. Like they want to move, but aren't moving.
did you read the comments on pcpartpicker?
their community is pretty much the opposite of 4chan
>>51861475
Of course it will. Games are made to run on consoles and its not even out of the question gen nine ships with a 390 equivalent were it to come out three years from now.
The new cards when they show up. You might see something like a 480x being 390 two years from now.
>>51861475
The only future proofing I'd worry about right now is making sure you can support 16gb of system ram. Having an m.2 gen 3 x4 socket which you do, and maybe always consider going with a 800w or higher and having two 8x pcie lanes on your mobo so that you could sli if the opportunity came up.
>>51861802
so if i just invest in a better psu i should be safe?
>>51858262
thanks brother.
>>51858262
Any reason for that particular mobo, SSD, GPU, or the PSU?
750 is fuck huge for a PSU, especially since I'm going to running a wimpy GPU.
>>51861929
If you ever think you will be using two cards, the trend is power requirements going down in the future for single cards.
>>51862033
thanks for the advice, i am gonna go with this one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20850xr
Can somebody help me confirm this is a hardware failure on the part of my GPU? It's an MSI R9 390.
>Card is seated correctly
>After installing drivers, PC crashes (bluescreen)
>Subsequent restarts, screen fades to black immediately after windows loads
I've reseated the card in a different slot, same issue. I don't think it's the motherboard. The one time it ran for more than a few seconds, it ran Metro 2033 fine, and Speccy recognized it as a 390 before it bluescreened again.
I'm about to ship it back out for a replacement, but does anybody have any ideas before I do?
>>51862452
Ship it back doing something to fix it like changing the bios would just void the warranty anyway. Only real think you can do is upping the voltage but having to do so means its not a factory working card anyway.
>>51861275
>>51861425
Have an i3 2130 atm, think I will upgrade to 6600k and get a new mobo, thanks!

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NGX699
I can get them for about the same.
I dont have a 4k screen so i wont be playing in more than 1080p witch one would you choose /g/
>>51863052
Do you already have a mobo or something? I don't see how a more expensive i7 and 980 ti could be compared in price to an i5 and 390x. regardless the choice is obvious if you aren't retarded.
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/FnbGpg
Rate guys
>>51863302
Well he i7 mobo is alot cheaper and so is the ram compared to skylake 1151 mobo ddr4 ram
The card is more shity than he 980 ti but i dont play 4k and im thinking a skylake build would last me longer (just swap out the gpu later)
>>51863400
a 4790 will be much better than a 6600 and a 980 ti is essentially a generation ahead in power. It would have to be an i5 haswell against an i5 skylake to even be much of a debate and even then cpus simply dont age like gpus.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KD6PwP
I'm planing to build this, sadly I'm really bad with computers so I don't know if it's good stuff..

>>51864391
Oh yeah, I was planing on doing that. My friend will help me as he's more experienced, but thanks for the tip! Are the parts good?

Not him but I would personally get a better CPU, like an i5 4690k. rest of build looks good imo desu senpai.
>>51865523
Okey, well I'm only going to use it for gaming, and the guys at the tech-store said that anything more than i5 would be a waste of money. How will it improve the computer?(Sorry but I'm just starting to learn all the names, components and purpose of them.)

>>51855068
pretty much same performance; $300 cheaper
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qwXZVn
>>51867429
my only problem is you could have saved like $100 with 8320, downgrading the cooler and psu then gotten a 390.
>>51855695
Drop to a B150 or H110 board.
Drop to an i5-4460.
Drop to 8GB RAM, and get the cheap stuff, because that shit doesn't even matter.
Switch to a 390.
There you go; same performance and probably like 30% cheaper.
>>51867662
Correction: i5-6400

GTX 970 = R9 390?
Any Nvidia cards that perform on part with the 390 for around the same price range? Just heard pretty shitty things about the 390 and can't afford a mistake. PC primarily used for photography/video editing, audio editing, movie watching, and gaymen.
Worth noting they Vidya I play is nothing modern. Far cry 3, Elder scrolls, fallout, war thunder, and in looking for a decent mmo. Just want high fps and decent graphics.. and scared to buy a 390. Would just like alternatives.. unless they really are the most bangs for bucks.
Alright family I was recommended this yesterday, and about to greenlight this shit.
Any other opinions?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jbBzJx
>>51868017
I didn't spend as much as the parts list shows. Actually got deep discounts on the CPU and GPU. Spent only 300 for both.

>heard pretty shitty things about the 390

HDD is too expensive faggot, get an usb stick
>>51868386
well, the 390 has about 2.5k shaders, a cursory search shows nvidia cards with a similar number costing about £100 more (£400 vs £300), i don't know if number of shaders is a particularly useful measure when talking about nvidia vs amd tho
>>51868617
Why not? Sorry I'm new here. Spent my childhood gaymen and am recently getting back into /g/ related shit, after taking up photography and audio recordings of /out/ related shit.
>>51868685
well, shader count is a rough measure of the raw power of a card, but there might be other differences that make eg 100 nvidia shaders worth 120 amd shaders, or the other way round (although it seems unlikely). there's also all the other numbers, so i use shader count as a rough estimate of equivalence but i don't really know how precise it actually is.
>>51868608
I didn't pay retail for anything so the prices would be useless anyway.
>>51868617
Its not the specs on 390 demolish the 970 but they are still equal.
I recently fucked up and ordered a gtx 980 and i5 6600 instead of 980 ti and 6600k. Should I bother replacing both or any of them? I'm going to run 1080p
>>51868736
Good to know, wanting to push 3/4 1080p displays, so raw power sounds important. Advice based off this info?
Again, not trying to run metro on ultra high settings with 140fps. Can't afford more than $400 on a card.
>>51868799
depends what you paid. In fact I'd even be leery of spending my shekels on even the cheapest 980 when pic related is available.
>>51868808
personally i'd say 390 but then i have some wierd brand loyalty thing towards amd. it does look like your choice is between 390 and 970. a bit of googling seems to indicate that they're pretty similar performance-wise.
>>51868736
>eg 100 nvidia shaders worth 120 amd shaders, or the other way round
they aren't comparable at all.

780 ti and 290x are older cards. Power Color is a secondary vendor for radeon cards. They and others make their own coolers.

Okay anon. Will take your word for it and pray /g/ isn't simply full of Radeon fanboys.
Care to help me find a Vesa mountable no frame/thin bezel 1080p monitor to triple up on? Anywhere from 21-24" will do. Budget under $200/panel
What 144Hz 1ms monitor do I get?
>>51869708
$320 at most If sub200 won't get me anything but shit and buttfucked.

I just loaned my younger brother about a grand to build a pc. I'm thinking of getting something too.
Why is the first card here $10 cheaper than the second?

I'm planning to get a gtx750ti and the price diference between the 1gb and 2gb version in my country is considerable, 2gb vram is really that worth?(i dont have much interest in open world games and 720p is fine to me)

Or this?

Monitor is really pissing me off because I'd like 1440p gsync, but I'm not buying into the meme for 600+
Any help is appreciated.
