Starting this back up since yesterday's bread got moldy.
Yesterday you guy's said my PC build was looking pretty good, but I have one last question:
I see an i5 4690k listed with (OEM/Tray) on it. I looked it up and OEM means it wont come with a heatsink, will this be a problem if I'm getting a custom cpu cooler?
>>52424844
Nope. Your 3rd party cooler will completely replace the Intel stock cooler (if you had one). Just make sure you have thermal paste for the new cooler if it doesn't come with one
>>52424912
The 212 evo does come with thermal paste
>>52424941
Perfect. Going with the OEM/Tray version instead. Thanks /g/, you guy's are awesome to get advice from.
>>52424844
Nice build man.
OEM is saving you money because you don't have to play for the stock cooler, which you wont use anyways because your 3rd party one replaces it
I'm building a new computer for VR.
Is there anything I should change here? How much money would I save by waiting until March to buy it?

I know in the past h motherboards made sense with non k cpu. But with skylake blck oc and higher speed ram showing improved fps in more cpu bound games. Is it still a good idea to buy a h170 instead of a z170 with a i5 6500?

>>52425505
Up to a few hundred depending on how much info on Pascal/Polaris or Zen/intel's, especially if you'd want 2nd hand.
If no info you'd expect less 100 $
>>52427002
If you're not willing to put in the time to overclock you were fine with the non-k processor and the other MoBo.
That 550W PSU is better suited for your needs though.

Buy a PSU.
>>52427456
Depends what you're using it for.
380 is like 960 but good.
If you don't need muh very high quality 1080p 2015 gayms you can get away with a 950 or even 750ti. Other than that I'd go for the Intel + 380 one.
If you go for the AMD one get a lower wattage PSU, 850W is way too much for your needs.
>>52428539
Other than the meme keyboard and the horrible case looks great.
>>52428050
Do you even google? Thermal paste is a highly heat conductive compound that allows to transfer heat between your CPU and your heatsink in an efficient way.
If you get a stock cooler you don't need to buy it, although you may want to replace it some time (like 2 years).
If you get an aftermarket cooler, chances are it comes with a thermal paste tube (the Hyper 212 EVO does); you should check nevertheless to avoid surprises.

If you're open to spending a few bucks more, your 128 GB SSD is a little small, though big enough to work. Once you have your OS + a few programs + 2 or 3 modern titles it will be close to full, and you'll have to move games back and forth between the SSD and HDD.

cheap case that's going to be audibly noisy as fuck when CPU is under load, there's no sound dampening in that case at all
and then there's the problem with Skylake and CPU coolers, where there is a risk of bent CPU when transporting it
also, noisy stock coolers

what's wrong with those three?
Pretty decent price/performance. No need for more than 650w
>>52428878
1080p gaming is what I'm aiming for, though I don't have much in the way of games (yet). I want this to be general purpose that just happens to do better in the FPS department then what I have now. As for the PSU, I might change that. According to another site, EVGA supposedly makes lower end units. I just wanted a higher wattage for future proofing. And I didn't want to take any chances. Isn't the general idea is to get at least 100w more then what your PC is expected to use?
Also, this is the site...
http://alltimevrecommendations.wikidot.com/wiki:pc-primer-test
Now then, how does one trick Windows 7 into being genuine? Rather not drop $140+ unless I have no other choice.
Finally, neither list is done. Missing a monitor, which'll most likely breach the projected $800 budget. And then there's the mouse, keyboard, and speakers...
Looking into a new build.
I already had SSDs and HDDs and a nice Air 540 case. Looking to upgrade mobo/cpu and gpu to go to 2k gaming.

>>52430163
yeah, 100w more, not 400w like in the AMD build. Unless you plan to SLI/CF and stuff get a smaller one.
Seriously how come you can assemble a PC and don't know how to pirate windows:

This shit should be in the OP already.
Your i3 list has a monitor.
>>52429971
you don't need a z97 for a locked CPU, let alone an ASSrock. Get "your girlfriend" a h81/b85/h97 mobo.
650W is way too much for that build. 500 should be more than enough. Used the saved money for a 120GB SSD and call it a day, "she" will be happy.
Also stop counting in rebates, it's a bad meme.
>>52430355
Solid meme build all around my friend, needs an exxxtreme mobo though.
>>52430675
I'm very new at building. One of those two lists will be my first rig. If pirating Windows AND making it genuine is simple, I might not need an optical drive...actually, yes I do. If I start getting games I'd like them in physical form, if possible.
Also, I know of the discrepancy between the lists. I'm mulling over whether or not to ditch the monitor on account of my TV having an HDMI port. I'm just not comfortable with using a PC on a screen that big. Well, it looks big. According to the ruler its about 22'', which is odd. Either I should settle for a smaller monitor or the ruler's wrong somehow.
Anyways, I just need to make sure if the i3 is the right choice for my projected budget. Same goes for the motherboard. The current computer right now has an i5 but with no graphics card that might not be worth much.
How does this look?
I'm not interested in buying a graphics card. Or at least not at this time.

Don't buy a 6600k unless you're going to OC, in which case you need a Z170 chipset mobo. Otherwise pretty standard / cookie cutter, but good.
>>52432085
Not a bad plan. 660ti should hold you over just fine until pascal. Pretty good otherwise, no complaints.
>>52431876
APU's are shit in CPU related tasks compared to dedicated CPU's. GHz is just a measure of frequency, not how much data can be processed in a single cycle.
>>52430355
You don't need an 80+ Platinum PSU, just save some money and settle on an 80+ gold.
>>52429895
Give her the SSD. Only other recommendation is to not get an EVGA NEX, only G2/P2.
>>52429261
Why do you need an i7?
Why are you pairing a mid tier GPU with a top tier CPU?
Also don't get an EVGA NEX PSU, Supernova G2/P2 only.

Pretty ok for entry level gaymen, though if you can find one for the same price or within $10 I would get a 270x over a 750ti
>>52425505
Better get a Z170 chipset if you're getting a 6600k, otherwise you have no point in getting that CPU as its for OC'ing.

>>52433473
Unless you just want a petite build and thats of major importance to you, just go mATX. Less expensive in all ways. The price discrepancy of a k and non k is negligible at best, as the performance gain you can get from the k is far better.

Does anyone have a suggested build?
>>52443524
I'd go with an AMD APU for MATLAB, but only if you're able to take advantage of OpenGL to skip the need of having a discreet graphics card. By itself, the AMD APU isn't up to par with four-core Hawells when it comes to MATLAB, the similarly priced i3 is not up to par with a proper four-core CPU in MATLAB. With MATLAB, stronger cores do make for better overall performance, so if you are willing to skip a discreet graphics card, buy a locked i5 (preferably the i5-6500) on an H110 micro-ATX board
If you want a quiet build that could still fit a graphics card into the budget, I'd go with the A10-7800 on a A78X motherboard and pair it with a 750 Ti or a 950. Skip the loud heatsink and buy an aftermarket air cooler with at least 8 heat-pipes (aka - four bent in a U) and can fit a fan larger than 92mm. A 120mm fan heatsink with 8 heatpipes should be more than sufficient to keep a 65W TDP APU cool with the fans running at 75% RPM.

>Is this too much?
Depends on resoltion/how many fps you want.
Also you might consider a slightly bigger PSU if you want to overclock and a slightly better CPU cooler.
built my PC in Decembet and man I love it. when you find all the best deals on the components you want and save tons of money, that feel is unbeatable anon.
>>52445421

This looks really good. Still a little bit cheaper than I planned for too. Any way to make it even better?

>>52436612
Swap the seagate drive out for a WD blue
Get a gold rated PSU, dont cheap out.
Dont get a z97 board if youre buying a locked CPU
Cryorig H7 is better than the 212 EVO
>>52446034
Soon™; I ordered the motherboard, Xeons, and RAM the other day. I'm not sure if the motherboard is actually ATX; dual socket motherboards love not being proper ATX or "E-ATX"
>>52446012
Checking it again it would be better if you leave it like that.
You can add another videocard and get a 1KW PSU and another case, but thats it.
Its better to invest the money on more storage (Another SSD, probably a 1TB Extreme PRO and some WD Black HDDs)
If its not enough power for you there is the 2011 socket but your CPU is good enough already that wont be bottlenecked by any videocard.
>>52445435
>i7
>Gaming
>>52446245
I7 is fine for gaming meanwhile you have the money.
>>52445435
definitely go and get the new i9 processor.
i7s just arent enough nowadays, especially when you have dual 980tis
>>52446140
Okay cool. I guess I'll add a second graphics card and then a bIgger psu?
I'm on the fence about buying an SSD. How much of a difference in load times does it make? 100$ is a lot to spend to get 20 second boot times vs 1 minute boot times. If I get the little 250GB one, I'd probably be putting my OS's and some programs like photoshop on it. Will that really save me significant amounts of time? I'm a poorfag, so I have some skepticism as to whether the difference is worth it, but I'm open to being sold on the idea.
>>52446340
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pMfkVn
Goes $78 over the budget.
Instead adding a second GPU and a better PSU you should invest in storage, 500GB SSD is nothing.
I already built my machine, but I'm wondering what you guys think of it.

Been using it for fallout 4, WoW, Witcher 3, and a few other games. Only one that even starts to stess the system is witcher 3, and I still get about 55 fps on high preset with grass turned down.

nice english retard, are dual xeons good for gaming too?
>>52446582
No.
My dick would bottleneck your mom though you fucking computer illiterate fuck
>>52446570
I got it for $205 USD. Msi.
>>52446613
You would have to dig hard to accomplish that.
But why are anons recommending i5s then? Apart from shilling that is.
>>52446631
Not him but, the performance difference between I5 and I7 in games is really low to justify a $200 price difference.
But, if you have the money for it, you should go for it.
>>52446631
Because they are the best option for "le gaymur rig". That doesn't mean that an 8320 would bottleneck a mid-end GPU.
Only times bottleneck happens is if you have stupidly inbalanced builds such as an i3 4170 + a 290x2 or a titan X. It's a bad meme.
>>52446685
locked i5 4460 and FX 8350 are about the same price and perform about the same, but 8350 can overlock a LOT. Multi-threaded games like fallout can use the 8 cores too. And that's relevant because a lot of people are building pc's specifically to play fallout 4.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/L29XjX
Ok trying this. I should add a double monitor setup that's a LG 24MP57VQ-P but the web doesn't have it.
I'm upgrading all my PC less drives and PSU, so what do you think?
>>52446685
What if the difference was $50? Microcenter is selling Xeon for $210 and i5 for $160.
>>52446685
I was talking 8320 vs an i5 of that price range.
>>52446845
Xeons are great.
>>52446906
Because the I5-4590 single perfomance is way better than a FX 8320.
>>52446906
most xeons perform as well as a same-generation i7 but for less. You cannot overclock, which may or may not be a downside for you. I know idiots that bought K-series i5's and don't OC them though. Keep in mind the list of compatible motherboards is different. different socket.
>>52446470
>>52446395
Okay I guess this build is what I'm starting to get comfortable with
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pMfkVn
It needs a hdd for single player games and stuff that doesn't need to load fast.
I haven't built a computer in 5 years, is the one I posted using skylake?
>>52447004
Yes.
I3 and I5-6XXX also all CPUs that use the 1151 socket are skylake.
I would insist to get the build with more storage, trust me is way better than having a second GPU since you will end changing the GPU eventually with the new cards that are going to be released this year.
>>52447032
Alright I'll drop the gpu. Any suggestions for hard drives? My last was 2tb and got filled up
Okay, /g/. Since people seem to discuss this a lot, what is the best, reasonably priced, intel processor one can get for gaming? I have a 4790k and people are saying it's the memecpu. What is the best then?
>>52447089
2 Xeons
>>52447075

The one you are using is just perfect.
>>52447113
>>52447075
You can remove the 960GB SSD if you want, i just added it as an extra.
The 500GB SSD+2TB WD Black should be more than enough.

>>52447487
what's the benefit of hyperthreading senpai?
>>52447498
10~20% performance difference.
No performance difference in games.
Take the peripherals off the partpicker list so we can judge your actual budget for computer parts. This includes the monitor.
Also 6tb of storage seems super overkill unless you specifically need that much space for video editing / mass file storage. If you have an actual reason to need 6tb of storage then go for it.
>>52447573
It's not really worth the price difference to be quite honest familioni
any other qualms with the build tho?

>>52448193
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/N4ZjwP
From my own personal experience
>CPU
Fine
>CPU cooler
You may want something better than a Hyper 212 EVO. The 4790k still gets pretty warm when not overclocked but running on Turbo mode, so you'll see temps in the mid-to-high 70s depending on the ambient temperature.
Find a cooler that has at least two fans (120mm or larger) that can fit in your case if you want something that can keep the CPU at comfy temps, but is quieter than a single over-worked fan running at max RPM.
>mobo
Z97 is running out of stock, so I can't really fault you for your choice in mobos.
>RAM
Ditto
>Storage
For the SSD, I think the BX100 will suit you well. It's still a pretty fast SSD, but you're not wasting money on performance that you will never use or experience the benefits from. For $30 more, you can get an SSD that's double the capacity with nearly 90% of the read performance as the MX200.
And don't go Hybrid HDD. They're not as fast as advertised unless you play the same games off of it over and over again. The platter is usually a slower 5900rpm one, which absolutely kills read/write speeds that aren't pre-cached in the 8GB SSD portion. Save a few bucks and buy a cheap Toshiba or Hitachi 7200rpm drive. I'm fairly certain you can find a 3TB drive for that price.
>GPU
You could do better than the 390X. I'd say save a few more bucks on parts and upgrade to the Fury. I hear the Nano will go on for $499 soon, so you could also wait for that to come out. The 8GB RAM will almost never go fully utilized because the resolutions that need such high memory are more than a single Hawaii GPU can handle.
>Case
No opinion, as long as you know what you're buying.
>PSU
The NEX isn't one of EVGA's better offerings, but it's alright.
>Optical
Unless you absolutely need to write bluray discs, that drive is unnecessary.
>Wifi
Ethernet is much better
>Windows
Really?
>>52449042
>Save money
>By buying a GPU that's 100+ USD more expensive
I can see your point about everything else, but that, I'm not completely sold on.
>>52448193
>>52449042
>>52449302
Anyway... here's a new build, taking into account the suggestions.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f6dtP6
Still sticking with Windows, since I don't know dick about Linux, and I'd like to actually play some PC games, so a Macintosh OS is right the fuck out.
Decided to add an LCS instead, and I've read some promising things about the Cooler Master Nepton 240M. Switched to a SeaSonic Semi-modular PSU since I don't really hear anything bad about them, either.
>>52449584
Swap the 212 EVO for a Cryorig H7 and choose a G2 or GS version of the EVGA SUPERNOVA (and preferably with a bit more headroom than 650w if you wanna OC)
>>52449042
>Z97 is running out of stock
I thought that was only on my third world country. Not him, but I guess I'll go skylake build once the local vendor confirms that z97s are "phased out"
Gonna need help to make this even more affordable, but keeping the CPU and GPU
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rVKpf7
Seems the AMD FX CPU I'm mulling on might only be compatible with RAM with a 1866 clock speed. Please tell me its backwards compatible with 1600.
any suggestions to optimize this build for gayming and browsing? should i get a soudcard to get good sound out of it while producing beats?
https://de.pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
>>52449584
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/f6dtP6
You can find a cheaper 240mm AIO than that. Hell, you can find an air cooler that performs the same as the AIO, but for half the rpice.
>>52449947
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rVKpf7
>WD Black
Here's you first step: Ditch the WD Black for a 4TB Toshiba MD04. You save yourself a few bucks and get a whole 1TB more, while still getting an HDD with similar performance.
>R9 270X
At this price point, you can find an R9 380 or R9 380X.
>PSU
I'm more than certain that you can find a cheaper 80+ Gold PSU that's semi-modular. $100 seems like a lot for a semi-mod.
I want to run Witcher 3 at 1440p maxed out. Can someone recommend a build? I have a case and hdd/ssds already. Thanks

>>52453590

>>52453443
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/txPJcf
>>52453652
>dad's office
Is this for your dad or for your retard self? This is NOT an office PC.
>>52453697
What would you recommend?
>>52453738
Well what will you be using it for? Just browsing and office stuff, or also gayming? If so, which games and what quality? What's your budget? Do you have any "special" needs such as 3d rendering, several VMs or advanced simulations?
>>52453769
It will be used for running financial software, plus the usual browser, word, excel, etc.I was hoping for it to be used for around 8 years without needing upgrades.
I've knocked the ram down to 8GB 2666, what motherboard and video card would you recommend?
>>52453882
Also budget is not an issue but it needs to be quiet, fast and 'premium'.
>>52427002
Is no one going to point out that he's wasting so much money buying a 980ti for a 1080p monitor? Save yourself $300 for the EXACT same performance and get a R9 390. You won't see any gains on a 1080p monitor.
>>52453923
No gaming?
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/LCy9bv
>>52454044
>>52453923
Also:
Choose a mouse that doesn't look like gaymur shit.
Get some case fans if that's your kind of thing.
I suspect that external hard drive is for back ups which is fine, but might as well buy another 1TB HDD and put it in RAID.
You can make do with a 120GB SSD but whatever.
>>52454044
No gaming yet, maybe in a few years when my brother inherits it.
Should I change the graphics card to something cheaper? I want it to be able to run with out the fan moving so it is quiet.
>>52454087
What's a good mouse looks professional and is high quality?
My 1080p gaming build.
Going Skylake for future proof. Anything I can improve?
Also, whats a good LG1151 socket CPU cooler? Cheers
>>52454172
That 750ti will last for years, run VERY quiet, use very little power and it's enough for 2x1440p IF you don't game on it.
IMO CPU cooler is not needed, but if you want silence and that case that's what I would go for.
Just get a microsoft mouse, you don't need much for office work 2bh, you can go wireless for extra comfyness. You might want to invest in some mech keyboard since they're actually useful if you're typing 8-10 hours a day.
If your brother inherits it he might want to change GPUs and such but since that's not for some years (where much better tech will be available).
Don't buy windows, just pirate win 7 pro/ultimate, upgrade to win10 and you're golden and "professional" enough.
Good luck
>>52454399
That's great, thanks for the info.
I'll be buying Win 7 since the business is paying for it and the custom financial software that will be used is not compatible with Windows 10 yet.

looks good, nice reviews and the price is top notch. but it doesn't specify the lg1151 socket, only 1150 and 1155 but should be fine?
>>52454228
Just like with corsair, I advice against thermaltake PSUs unless it's the premium line.
Just get an EVGA 650W gold for about 10 euros more, if you want to go bronze then seasonic m12iis are your best bet.
>>52454676
lga 1151 uses the same mounting specifications, 1150 coolers all work with it.
