How's my first ever PC build, /g/?
i've fallen for some memes, so do your worst. i'm expecting to spend under 1.5k. not sure if it's worth replacing my monitor either with this build (viewsonic 1080p LED monitor)

I'd drop the green and get a 2tb blue, upgrade to a 4690k. And people will shit on you for the 32 gb of ram, but fuck them; get it anyway
>>51932233
32 GB RAM might be overkill
240 GB SSD is overkill if you intend it just as a system drive
case looks like shit

How low would you go with that PSU?

Pls Mr. Grinchposter.
>>51932299
This.
Don't listen to the AMD virgins trying to meme at you to not get a 970, OP. The only thing you need to change is get a WD blue instead of green, a 4690 (K version if you know how to overclock, and it's pretty easy to learn).
The 32 GB ram is SUPER overkill, may I ask what you need it for? Because I have 16 GB and people on /v/ and /g/ still meme on me hard for it.
Also you don't need to buy windows at full price.
>>51932529
>WD blue instead of green
GREENS ARE BLUE NOW WHO GIVES A SHIT
>>51932529
>>51932328
Suggestions?
>>51932298
i ain't complaining about some fan. some people recommended liquid cooler. i don't know too much about it, should i consider it?
>>51932315
>32
might as well use what i have available, i feel. if 16 is enough, then i'll take your advice.
>240
i'm using it for more than just system.
>
i'm not about aesthetics. if it works, it works.
>>51932321
how would i go about getting a free key? i only have win7 and i'm really adamant on moving to 10 but aside from "muh privacy" i hear good things about it.
>>51932299
>2tb blue
would it be better if i got a 3tb blue? i'm more focused on storage due to the fact i do heavy video editing, so each project is a fair amount of gb.
>4690
why? geniune question
>>51932569
looks alright to me senpai

>WD green ( been down that road the HDD is shit slow because of parking head issue look it up.)
>970 come the fuck on now
>>51932655
fuck you m8 the 970 is goat
I have zero issues with it
side question for reference: what is 32gb of memory typically used for anyway? i've decided on doing simply 16gb, but yeah, that.
>>51932743
Heavy image editing
CGI and stuff
Why do people pick a 970 or 960? Yeah sure, they werk, but AMD just offers a better product at those price points, depending on location ofc.
Spend the extra money on a overclockable CPU, even if you don't plan too overclock anytime soon, bit in the future, when it starts to bottleneck, you can easily give it a 20% boost, which is like skipping 2 generations.
Avoid corsair.
Replace sandisk with a-data.
>>51932840
It's all good senpai
No need for brand wars
>>51932694
3 fucking point 5 GB of VRAM IN FUCKING 2016
WHILE WE HAVE GAMES CHUGGING DOWN 6GB LIKE IS FUCKING WATER
yeah enjoy it
>>51932588
>should i consider it?
no, get a cryorig h7
>4690k
little difference between i7 and i5 for gayming and most apps.
>>51932772
would I, someone who edits 4k using avid, after effects, and probably pro tools, need more than 16?
>>51932233
>budget it
>32gb of ram for gaymen
>memecard
>botnet 10
>>51932855
Brandwara, watcha talking bout desu?
>>51932903
No, you don't even need an i7 for it either unless you're some kind of professional in which case you would know about all this already.
Is the 380X worth the extra 50 euros?
>>51932901
where did the i7 come from? the one in pic and the 4690k are i5
>>51932964
You shouldn't be getting an ssd with those cheap components. Dump it use the money to improve your mobo and cpu or gpu. Get a cheaper case
>>51932233
Eh. If it was me id get less ram, skip the cooler unless youre gonna OC (protip: you dont need to), get a smaller ssd/
large hdd, and put those savings toward a better gpu. But thats just me. Frankly that gpu is fine for any modern game anyway, and will be relevant for many years to come, so you might just save your cash. Also I didnt look at your case but I have a feeling its douchey, so pick acase thats less flashy and bulky. Buy a mechanical keyboard
>>51932919
Pls no bully Nvidia
We come in peace
>>51932233
Why dont you get a bootleg OS? Ive ran win7 bootleg for years with absolutely no problems/bottlenecks
>>51933081
i just needed the extra reassurance to keep win7. i don't feel like i'd conform well with 10. i have the key and all for 7 so i might as well. thanks
>>51933043
I have no budget, I just dont want to spend money if it's not necessary. What to change? I figured the case can be reused for years on end so I don't mind it being expensive
Update, Taking many of the seemingly legitimate posts of criticism to mind.
>>51933110
Enthoo pro is good then. That or h440. How are your Skylake prices? I'd do i5-6500 if it isn't much more. With a 170 board with m.2 64gb it could last a very long time.
380x I dont think is worth it. its slower than an older 280x and about equal to an ancient 7970. Its between the 380 and 390. I might even argue 380 isn't worth it over 270x for what it can do.
>>51933342
Change to a 7200 rpm hard drive. MSI gaming, and Asus Strix are the best 970.
>>51933439
>970
just did some review checks and it seems like this slipped my radar. lots of positives on this one it seems. got the msi, and i think i'll keep the 5400rpm
>>51933439
Could you explain the difference in a 32 GB and a 64 GB cache?
Or is that MBs. I can't remeber
>>51933043
Dumbest advice ever. Get an ssd especially with a low cost system as it actually improves everything drastically .
Ssd is the single most important component in the system. Cpu isn't all that important anymore, any amd or Intel ones do the job now and gpus are so over priced anyway .
>>51933365
i5-6500 is 215 euros, a decent B150 mobo can be had for 90 euros. It doesn't have a network controller though. I don't know if that's important.
>>51933576
This. Get an SSD. 7200 rpm HDD's are the slowest goddamn component in any system that isn't booting off an SSD. Boot drive sized SSDs are dirt cheap. There is no excuse.
Also, don't get a 970. It only has 3.5 GB of actual GDDR5 VRAM and despite the fact that "IT JUST WERKS" at 1080p, it has shown frame dropping tendencies at all resolutions even before the 0.5 GB of slow RAM is accessed, so there is something up with it and it is likely being held together with scotch tape at the driver level by Nvidia.
>it just werks for me AMDpoorfag
Just because you are too stupid to notice that you're dropping frames doesn't mean that you aren't.
>>51933644
I wonder, could you run an OS off of a GPU processor?
>>51933576
>Ssd is the single most important component in the system
top kek m8 I'd never drop below an i5 or r9 390 to get an ssd in a set budget.
i am going to build my first pc aswell
i just ordered all of this except a gpu because i am €300 short (i already had the keyboard and mouse)
did i do good?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KjdQmG
prices are in euro
>>51933806
Why 850W PSU?
Get a 212 EVO.
>>51933837
because i might crossfire in the future
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sHd7t6 I'll bite, I guess.
>>51933950
looks epic
why a 850W power supply your pushing it need at least a 100W. Plus you dodnt need 32gb or ram 16gb at the most. Fuck you like wasting money dont you, stupid PC gamers. I can by every current gen console and a tV for that price
any suggestions?
>>51933982
>100W
it's ok man
>>51933950
Get a SSD boot drive, especially for winblows.
Don't pay full price for winblows.
Don't get a windowed case.
Get a different gafix card (R390 or 390X).
Congratulations OP this may very well be the worst non-ironic build I have ever seen
>>51933996
You can pay for fucking wangblows and some teenager building your PC but you can't even get a 980ti SLI?
Rofl, kill yourself
>>51933996
>funktionstest
what is this?
The components look good, I can't comment on prices since euros always look high.
I prefer 390x over 980.
Maximus VIII over msi z170a krait probably isnt worth the extra money.
156 eu for a 2tb HD can't be right should be like 80.
http://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/Ducky-schwarze-Leder-Handgelenkauflage-fuer-Shine-4--DKSH1408SD-CUSALAABR_998161.html Over g710 if thats available to you.
>>51934308
wait nvm is that just the wrist rest, partpicker is lieing to me.
>>51934299
>>51934308
thanks guys!
>funktionstest
>what is this?
they just see if the computer works with the selected components and stresstest it. i know, it's horribly overpriced, but apparantly their service is top notch
So, my friend has a budget of $1400 for a gayman build. Thoughts?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GrWqCJ
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/mmgj6h
This is my build, I don't think theres anything to critise about it expect an overkill psu which is better for future proofing
>>51934988
Looks alright
case is super ricey, I like this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811553020
Zotac Amp! is better than the MSI 980 ti.
Thats a pretty overpriced ssd.
You could probably fit in 16gb of faster memory.
>>51935062
You could bump up to the asrock extreme6 and get a m.2 gen 3 for about 10 euros.
>>51936077
>more money
>m-itx
Also, I've had better luck with MSI than Zotac.
Intel ssds, from what I've seen, are one of the more reliable brands and that's the cheapest Intel ssd.
>>51933057
No senpai.
Desu, I bully nvidia.
Hey guys,
I've got about 300 (350 would be really pushing it) to spend on upgrading a rig from a x4 phenom 965.
Do I stick with amd or go intel?
Ideally I would like to pick up an i5 4690k, some heatsink (closed loop preferred because I live a few houses down from the fucking sun) mobo + case.
But that's a lot to ask out of 300 I think.
He does a lot of gaymen shit that uses multiple cores (archeage, GTA 5, etc) so my original idea of getting the G3258 and overclocking it to the moon is out of the picture.
My second plan was to get an 8230 and OC it but that seems to be out of the question too. No microcenter is nearby and Frys wont price match their shit because they won't ship.
Could an i3 put in work? Any ideas?
