So far the case and the PSU have arrived on the scene, along with an AMD A8 7600 APU I forgot I ordered which I might sell or I might hold on to. Already have 250GB SSD on me, hence lack of storage. I'm fuckin pumped, this seems like the perfect build after a month or so of constant research.

Either pick an 6500 or an 6600K is my advice, 6600 is just not a deal at that point.

The 6500 is worse than the 6600 and costs £10 more...and I don't want a K processor. Overclocking is unnecessary for a non-gaymer.

I have $500 and want to build a new computer. I very rarely play video games. What does /sqt/ think about this?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hY8dsY

I have a spare HDD but I feel like an SSD will help a lot. I have a 15" LCD but I feel like at least a 1080p monitor would be nice. Would I be better off with some AMD APU, or a 6/7 core AMD or is this the best I can build for $500 with a monitor for multi-tasking with the possible video render and rare video game?

pic related is my current 'situation'

>>52638233
I could also lower the price more by having a cheaper case.

>>52638233

>>52638250
if you waited for a monitor, you could add a 750 ti or just put in an i5 6600K, but with a crappy motherboard, it'd seem like a waste to put in a K. I don't really know what i'm talking about though and will probably be BTFO by someone who does. that i3 is fine, but a 6600k for example would be crazy good. hell, if you could get an extra $100 and wait for a monitor, you could put in a fucking 4790K or 6700K.

drop the ssd and use your hdd. an ssd is nice but it doesnt "Help" anything. the main thing it helps with for most people is boot time and load times for games, which you dont play.

if you buy a monitor off craigslist you can save more and maybe get the 6600k. if you wait and use that lcd you have or a tv or something you can go all the way up to a 6700

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C3hqcf

>>52638442
Then is either this:

Or this:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NKf8nQ

Over the budget? change the EVGA 650 G1 for a EVGA 500 B.
You will need the GTX 960 over the 750Ti.

The I5-4590 is nice to have over the I5-4460 for some bucks more but if it goes over the budget get the 4460.
You will want to drop the SSD too.

>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hY8dsY

I think that this is pretty good if you're not adding a GPU. If you were able to get a Z170 motherboard, you have a sweet upgrade path to a 6700K or whatever else Intel will release for LGA 1151 in the future. That $50 motherboard will be okay, but don't expect to overclock at all or put any other CPU in it. It's basically a waste of $50 because you'll have to chuck it after this i3 gets old, $180 GONE.

Take out the monitor, CPU and motherboard, you now have about $315 for just the CPU and motherboard. Put that into something like a $115 Z170 for that sweet upgrade path, and then add a i5-6500.

If you dropped the SSD, because you don't play games and load times really don't matter, and you don't really NEED an SSD and prices go down daily ANYWAY, you could have like $400 JUST for the CPU and motherboard. You still can't get a 6700K($400 right now), which is basically god-tier right now, but you could get a 4790K($300-$330 right now), which is basically the same CPU in terms of power consumption and scores. Put the other $75-$100 into the motherboard and fucking boom you have basically the fastest PC you can get as a non-gamer. no need to upgrade because you're already at the top.

>>52638594
What? The RAM and mobo in that build are cheaper than the ones you're recommending. He also has a fucking R9 390 in there for the same price and you're recommending a GTX 960, a card about half as powerful. You're recommending putting a Hyper 212 EVO on a locked i5 when the stock cooler is more than adequate. You're clueless, basically.

>>52638512
...doesn't an SSD literally make everything you do faster that is loaded from your storage drive AKA every application you use?

Here is your reply.

>>52638645
they load faster, after they load into ram its up to your cpu.

ex. you can open open your video editor faster, but your renders will take the same amount of time

a better cpu on the other hand can significantly reduce render times, or increase fps in a game ect

lmao do this and put a 6700K/4790K in this thing for a sleeper PC. it'd be practically the fastest thing out for a long time. I'd be happier with it if you put in a better PSU, though.... the PSU is pretty important to helping your components last a long time. a 80+ GOLD PSU is like $80 and will last a long time. Don't bother with Platinum. The premium you pay for it is not worth it at all. Trust these guys too, don't put in an SSD if you have a spare HDD. The difference between a i3-6100 - i7-4790K/6700K will be WAY bigger than a 7200RPM HDD - decent SSD. You can add an SSD whever the fuck you want. If you're not gaymen, you want the absolute best CPU you can possibly get, which is a 4790K/6700K. the CPU IS the computer.

then hoiw is it bad for a locked i5? your reply suggested it was somehow not good for a locked chip, like it was a z97 or something. its a nicer board for a good price, whats the problem? change out the board and ram, fine. the build is still better.

I just have a lot to spend to do it. i'm thinking about a 4K monitor. considering a 6700K.

>>52639468
well heres a good place to start then

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Fgw6YJ

if you need that 4k monitor included in your budget, you'll obviously have to cut some stuff down. if you dont but dont "need" the 6700k and want the ability to actually play games at 4k, you can get an i5 system with a 980ti in your budget.

it really all depends on what you want in the end

>>52639826
I'm considering going down to a 6600K(only like $20 more than a 4690K and it's skylake) or maybe going back to a haswell 4790K because it seems like the 6700K is the exact same speed. I don't know if it's worth it to take an i7 at all. It's really annoying me at this point.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/W3yXxr

Never built a PC before, any advice at all would be appreciated

>>52640153
its honestly nice for video editing, but thats about it. Skylake is surprisingly better at gaming shown in a decent amount of benchmarks. Personally I said fuck it and bought a 4790k, mostly for the stock bump to 4hz. if you jump down to the 6600k you can get a 980ti for 1280$ so theres that.

HOWEVER since you arent desperate to game or do anything graphics intensive, you might actually be able to wait till the gtx 1080/70 or 1080ti come out. Maybe buy a 750ti in the mean time. food for thought

>>52640196
its kind of unbalanced. the 4790 is more than you need for that 960.

Also, you're getting an overclockable chip. You should be getting a z97 board to at some point leverage that fact.

i'd suggest going down to an i5 and getting an r9 390. or even better get a skylake i5 and getting a 390.

Best Buy has a Gigabyte Z170 UD5 that is $180, same as amazon and seems pretty good but I'm not sure. it would free up my amazon card a bit and allow me to get other shit, because at this point I the only thing I can get at best buy is monitor and CPU. best buy doesn't have the largest selection.

Get two sticks of 8GB RAM together rather than separately, save some cash
Get a higher wattage PSU
Get a 1TB HDD

Could cost a bit over $1000 but it'll be worth it trust me, 250GB storage is not enough for all your pornographic materials of Bill

>>52655165
I have a spare 500GB HDD

and why higher wattage PSU? The build barely uses half.

>>52655233
Overclocking consumes power and I assume you are going to overclock

Rate my build, I'm looking to play the latest gaymz at 60fps, high/max settings

CPU - i5 6500
GPU - Sapphire R9 390
FAN - 212 EVO
MOBO - ASRock Z170 Pro4S
RAM - 8GB DDR4
HDD - 1TB
SSD - 240GB (Sandisk Extreme Pro)
PSU - SEASONIC M12II 620
CASE - ARC MIDI R2

It comes in at €1100

>>52655269
y-yes

desu-ing with you right now, I don't see the point of overclocking when you end up spending like $50+ more on the motherboard and $90 on a cooler. I'm debating just not getting a z170 board and dropping down to a non-K with the stock cooler.

different anon but your build is hilariously unbalanced. for the same price you could fit a 390 in there

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tF7Xxr
this is what i'd do

choose your own case obvi

>>52655665
trust me anon. I've been looking at this shit for literally 24 hours now. I'm the OP of the skylake vs haswell thread and have been solely researching this shit the entire time since like midnight. from what i can sort of gather

haswell is pointless now, in general. they run hotter, don't cost much less, and actually aren't as fast, even if only by about 5%

if you want god-tier multi-core, go 5820K with a x99 motherboard. more worthwhile than going i7 6700k

6600k is god-tier for gaymen, especially if you overclock to like 4.5ghz

these chips are so powerful that worrying about muh futureproof is pointless. we'll have these builds for like 5-8 years before feeling the need to do anything new.

btw, I still haven't decided or bought anything yet so you shouldn't listen to me, ahahah

>>52655725
so you put a shittier motherboard, case, and cooler, and then put all of that dosh into a better GPU?

I don't know if I like it. I sort of wanted all of that stuff to be quality so I don't have any surprises. I just keep thinking that if i'm getting a $250 CPU that the other components need to be top-tier, too. am I wrong? Would that 200R do the same job the Define R5 would?

>>52655725
That chip is for DDR4, and the PSU is way too much but he's right the card is way better.

>>52655794
Nice. I've been posting in that thread. I'm gonna look into the 5820K/x99 now, I almost forgot.

That paper holder tier video card is a bottleneck for the 6600K, might aswell buy a lower tier chip or buy a better video card, also RAMs should ALWAYS brought dual channel, epecially for gaming.

>>52631840
You sound like a faggot

>>52656186
you really don't need a platinium PSU. gold is where to go. platinum/titanium has a premium added that isn't worth it.

also that keyboard, mouse and headphone is fucking trash.

>>52656228
yeah, probably. I'm always of the camp that your CPU should be more powerful than your GPU. You don't use your GPU 24/7. you always are using your CPU. CPU bottleneck is much worse than GPU bottleneck in vidya. learn something anon

>>52656246

same for the zowie ec1-a

>>52631713
Is the 6600K worth it now or is the 4690K still to go for mid tier machines?

Only interested in gaming at 1080p@60fps

>>52655834
all motherboards over 120$ are basically memes. and any air cooler over 50$ is super meme-tier. at that point you should be considering aio watercoolers. The motherboard is a good board. its not shittier, its just not overpriced. It will easily handle your average 4.4ghz OC with zero probleam ever.

also a $250 cpu isnt really that special. spending ridiculous amount of superfluous money and getting a shit gpu just doesnt make sense at your budget.
I dont into cases so i cant tell you, i just put a case as a place holder.

>>52656274
Well yeah it really depends on what exactly the person plans to do the most. By default I would always recommend a better GPU than CPU for gaming, but for streaming you might be right.

>>52656324
6600K better investment for an overall plus 50-60 bucks on your build (proper mboard, ram, cooler).

Looking for an inexpensive PSU, pref mod or semi mod in canada,
any recommendations, kind of on a budget.

likely going into an 88R

>>52656324
6600k will be cooler and maybe 5% faster. price differnce is like $20 so I'd go 6600k unless you already have DDR3 RAM and lga 1150 motherboard etc...

Nah it's a fresh gaming rig. I can barely squeeze in a 6600K but worried about cheaping out on a motherboard.
Would a MSI Z170 mortar be good? That's the best micro atx I can afford.
As is there any significant difference between 2133 and 2400 ram?

>>52656186
The difference between some gold and bronze level PSU ends up being like ~$2/month in actual cost.

Just get a well rated PSU for whatever your budget is, don't blinding get whatever is expensive or labeled as gold.

>>52656428
By default you'd be fine with a 2133, but since you're onto the 6600K meaning you would overclock it, a 2400 is a must.

The motherboard is fine as far as I know.

>>52656428
don't worry about RAM. no difference, never has been. apparently if your CPU is bottlenecking the system in a game, faster RAM will actually help you squeeze a few frames in.

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2? This costs only 2/3 of the platinum one

>>52656341
it just depends on what you're doing. if you're looking for max overclocks then yeah you're going to have to spend $150-$200 on your motherboard and $80-$100 on your cooler. if you want the best then you have to use the top shit. is it worth it? no.

I want to know though, I do not really intend on 4k gaming any time soon, is the 980 ti overkill for just 1080p or should I just get the 980. Also I currently have the CA-0300 Hornet NG as my case but I'm not sure if it's big/good enough and shit.

>>52657661
The MSI Z170-A PRO is like 40$ less on amazon, and it's the cheapest Skylake board on the market supporting 2400Hz, I'm trying to find the catch but I don't know.

>>52657748
can't do it. i'm buying the motherboard off of best buys website because it's where my money is(long story) so that $300 motherboard is actually the least expensive one, believe it or not. the others that ARE cheaper are inflated like $50 compared to amazon and newegg. it sounds retarded, but I basically have no choice if I want to add a GPU, which I need to being that 5820k has no igpu.

>>52657688
Pleez answuur!!!

>>52657807
I see, that sucks. doesnt bestbuy pricematch with newegg? i remember them doing that before, at least in store. you could theoretically go to a store and have them order it for you and then get the discount.

>>52657858
funny thing is that the items I'm actually buying from best buy is the 5820k and the motherboard, both of which are actually matched with newegg/amazon automatically, which is why i'm considering this in the first place. for whatever reason, best buy is really good with their CPU prices but absymal and inflationary with everything else except for a couple of motherboards.

>>52657703
Is the price/performance ratio for the 980 that bad compared to the 970? Thank you for the advice though, I'll probably do just that.

>>52657790
Why the 390? It seems pretty good but I've heard kinda mixed things about it, the price tag is appealing though.

>>52657951
970 is best price/performance for all high-end cards. you pay double for a 980 ti, but you only get like almost 1/3rd higher score in benchmarks.

>>52657951
yeah the price to performance is terrible especially considering how close the 970 390 and 390x come to it. plus for the same price you can get an r9 fury or nano which are genuinely better(gameworks tomfoolery aside).

the 390 generally performs better than the 970 and sure 8 gigs of vram is overkill but 3.5 gb can actually be noticed. 390 is also a beast for crossfire.

>>52658023
>>52658091
Aah, thanks a lot guys! I'll look up more about the 970 and 390 and go from there. I'll probably go with the 390x because the price feels so good for what it offers.

I'll be taking the plunge in a couple of days. Gradually. Starting with the RAM. The store near me has a neat deal where the motherboard is $40 off upon buying a matching CPU but I don't know if that's permanent or just a sale until the end of the month. VERY tempting but getting that combo right away would leave me utterly broke. Decisions, decisions...

>>52659735
outdated in what regard? those are all good parts, maybe get a better ssd. The only real thing i see happening is the 1080ti coming out in 6months to a year and BTFOing that 980ti leading to heap big buyers remorse. and if thats what you're worried about, just get a decent but cheap card now and sell it to some poorfag in a year or less. hell you could even sell the 980ti.

>>52659807
I was referring to myself when I meant "outdated". As in "I lost touch on what is good or not". When looking for the parts for this build I had to look up alot of what's been happening to the world of CPU's, GPU's, Cases, DDR4 Rams, etc.

My mother needs a desktop for email, excel work and skype. She works overseas most the time, and wants a designated desktop that she can rely on working when she's home catching up on tax, and business tasks (sometimes she's home for a 2 day window in a month, and wants to get invoices etc out to clients).

Currently I have her setup working off an (aging laptop) with a 24" monitor, keyboard and mouse,

She told me she wants a computer that she won't have to worry about upgrading for the next 5 years.

dunno if iGPU will deal with skype, so selected a cheapy GPU to chuck in for her.

I've offered to buy and build it for her. have I made dumb dumb choices or will this suit her needs? I essentially looked at what local stores were offering and tried to come up with something better at the same price point.

That's too much for her. It might even cause problems at customs. Do the smart thing and buy her a new laptop, preferably one around the same $800 price range.

If she absolutely needed a desktop (which I honestly doubt with her lifestyle), buy a mini-ITX motherboard with an integrated CPU (quad-core A4-5000 fits the bill and is cheaper than an AM1 + CPU while using less power), 8GB of DDR3-1600 RAM, a PNY or A-Data 120GB SSD for $40-45, a mini-ITX case with an integrated power supply (or a super-small one that only supports an external power brick), for around $300.
An iGPU is more than enough to run Skype, even with high resolution webcams. What you've built is seriously overkill for what she needs. Although she should be able to use it for more than 5 years, it's not really cost effective when you can upgrade the build in 4 years for less than $150.

Those cheaper motherboards don't seem to be available at Micro Center. At least not the one near me. Don't want to go over ~$800.

You're kidding right?

>>52661001
...y-yes...

OBVIOUSLY I'm picking the 4790K build pfft duh dude GOT YOU HAHAHA! ....

I don't know why you would go big dick on the cpu/mobo then get a fucking 950, the cheapest ram you could find, etc. Then slap it into a cheap ass case.

Z97-A/USB 3.1 OR Z97 PC MATE

i don't have a huge selection, basically. you really think the 4790K build is more balanced etc?

helpful

Is DDR4 a meme? I'm in need of a new computer and while DDR4 sticks cost about the same as DDR3 ones, non-Z170 mobos are just 2expensive or non existent in stores.

>in stores
well theres your problem.

on a side note you can oc on non z boards now

>>52661322
no increase in performance, if that's what you're asking. it's just the same old shit.

>>52661352
by "store" i mean online ones too.

>>52661135
Sort of.

What are you going to do with this pc? It might not even need the i7.

>>52661431
some video editing here or there, some porn games here or there, just a lot of random shit for the next 7 years, i think.

>>52661458
oh hey its porn game bro.

at least be willing to upgrade your graphics card in like 3 years depending on if you want to play new games. imo if you want it for that long i'd kinda suggest going skylake if possible since you want to keep it for so long and haswell is already a few years old
