for a budget build? i'm looking at the i3-6100 this will replace my budget build from 8 years ago and will probably be used for that much time.

i'm not mad, but i'm disappointed.
>>52673436
Your wwlcome
>>52673486
(cont)
If I go with a DDR4 i'll probably use 2133 modules and in case it's DDR3 I'll use 1600 ones. Not even sure if it's worth bothering with DDR4 for a budget build desu.

>>52673637
I don't really see anything wrong with it. What are you using this PC for?
>>52673795
I'm not expert in builds or anything but if you want go go with a cpu that cheap you might as well pick a G3258 (OCd to 4.0ghz) or a newer pentium.
It'll provide better options for upgrade, run cooler and save money on the energy bill.
I don't see the appeal of the FX-4300 or Athlon x4 people seem to post in these partpicker threads. They are not bad CPUs but there are better options now even if it costs slightly more.
>>52673839
Just light coding and enventually some emulated game or /vg/agdg demo.
>>52672294
Don't get the supernova Nex, the supernova GS and G2 are simply much better

hasn't it already been announced that they will be slower than skylake other than the top sku's?
>>52674560

How do
>>52674631
they're basically copying intel, you know.

970
Stop, you just fucked up.
>>52674810
I'm considering not getting a GPU at all and sticking with on-board until pascal blows my mind or something. do you think that'd be the way to go?
>>52674854
Zen is the only way to game on igpus
>>52675046
can't we have one thread without a meme
>>52674810
you're right. OP should be using a 950. 950 is better value than 970, and that's a fact.
>>52675138
Its not a meme intel igpus have goten better but zen is best
We must not forget without amd, intel would be nothing
>>52674525
Look I too want Zen to succeed, but it is very unlikely AMD will pull Haswell+ level of performance out of the ass in a single generation. AMD also stated they do not want to be "the cheaper one" anymore so expect Zen CPUs to cost about as much as their Intel counterparts, except with higher TDP.
>>52674060
Why don't you get a 6 or 8 core AMD CPU instead then?
>>52675185
if Zen doesn't do well, AMD is literally going to die and Intel will be a legitimate monopoly, dude. no joke. we all want Zen to succeed, fanboys of both sides hope AMD doesn't fuck this up.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vq4g23
Sure, why not. I enjoy being ridiculed.
I already have storage before anyone asks.
>>52675258
We will see they are gona pull it out there ass
For some reson and is better at encryption

Amd leases out X86_64 to intel if amd dies intel goes with it
Anyone know how good is the MSI Z170-A PRO? Read a lot of bad things about MSI but I like the features it gives for the money.
Mostly want to know about OC
Should I buy a 4790K, wait until a 6700K comes back in stock, or go insane with a 5820K?

Pick one.
>>52675376
everything is terrible, truly

w-why?
>>52675599
>multi score of like 13,000
>not insane
that is insane
>>52675628
i would build something way different. your choices are just weird
>>52675649
Well surely that's personal taste, anon?
>>52675673
...no.
16GB of DDR3 1600 costs like $70 maximum today.
why the fuck are you picking a 4690 when the 4690K is LITERALLY $6 more?
that cooler just isn't that great for the money you're spending
980, let alone with a reference cooler? what the fuck are you thinking?
ALSO, why the FUCK are you buying a $60 cooler in the first fucking place if you're NOT buying a K and NOT buying a Z97?
your shit is all fucked up and you don't make sense.
>>52675801
The cooler is perfectly adequate, but not for overclocking, ESPECIALLY in a case this small.
Reference cooler is a much better choice for the NCase. Look into it a little bit if you're so skeptical.
Repostan from >>52676367
what kind of Skylake Z170 motherboard is best with an Intel Skylake i5?
>>52676415
The most expensive one.
>>52676447
this, but you don't need to spend more than like $150 to do everything you need to do. near $100 and under is sort of russian roulette, I think.
>>52676557
>>52676447
are the mobos below 100$ just not worth it? would they possibly break easily?
>>52676824
They just don't have the same quality to the components. Once you hit like $200, it's just flair and features you will probably not use. ~$150 is the sweet spot of high quality but no bullshit features, I think.
I'd appreciate some feedback, I barely get any
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8CMFzy
reason for the 850 W is because I want to get another gpu in sli later on
>tfw want to go with amd so i can use zen
>tfw don't want to have spent money on a dead platform if zen fails
>>52677112
i have the msi 980 ti, the i5-6600k, no regrets and a be quiet cooler.
i would avoid kingston out of principle (they switched to cheaper parts after getting good reviews for their ssds), though and go with corsair lpx instead.
>>52677112

i forgot to mention that acer has bad quality control. get a dell with the same specs and save a few bucks. the s2716dg is the best tn panel on the market and dell is known for great monitors and quality control.
>>52676824
Cheap mobos are fine if you intend on upgrading your system again in 1.5-2 years when it starts to fail.
I've had purchased a number of ~100 main boards and they never last past the 2.5 year mark.
>>52677235
Dell doesn't have any 144hz 1440p IPS as far as I know
>>52677252
oh, sorry. i thought the acer was TN, the amozon site didn't mention IPS for some reason. my bad.
>>52677291
I only chose this screen because it fits all my criteria
1440p
IPS
27"
144Hz
there's only one other screen with these specs on the market, it's an asus, and it costs more, so I chose this
never had an Acer monitor before
right now I own a Dell Ultrasharp by the way
>>52677150
Don't worry. Zen will use AM4 and FP4 sockets, so nothing you buy now will be upgradeable to it.
>>52677311
then that's your best bet. just be aware that you might have to RMA it when the IPS glow is too bad. as i said before, acer has pretty bad QC. good luck with the panel lottery.
personally i prefer TNs for gaming, but that's just me.

windows 10 is vista tier garbage. it offers no benefits over 8.1, requires more resources, has more bugs, spies on you and basically you're an idiot. there's a reason it only got 3 stars on amazon, not even technology retards like it.
I need advice picking a PSU. It has to be a non-modular SFX one.
Rig:
- 1x i5 6600k, no overclock
- 1x GTX 980
- 1x pexhdcap
- 2x 8 gb ddr4
- 1x SSD
- 2x 3.5" HDD 7200tr/min
- 1x laptop slim ODD
How much power would I need for all of this?
This is my build
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/R2YXxr
>>52677588
>seagate
>>52677588
The drives aren't that great for playing games off. Grab some 7200RPM drives that are preferably not Seagate.
Also, the PSU is a tad too much, get a good quality Seasonic ~650W
>>52672294
>i7

>>52675628
>$60 in case fans
>won't shell out for a 4690k or a 6600
bad build
>>52677634
>>52677614
The segate drives I chose are actually good and reliable for storage, while I intend for. Backblaze testings showed these segate drive having low chance of failing
>>52677454
>buying windows
are you actually retarded?
You can go cheaper on the PSU there's no way you're using even 500W
Get an aftermarket cooler
I wouldn't vouch for corsair SSDs
>>52677770
>Adding a GPU later
>Just chose whatever RAM and SSD
>>52677843
I mean with a GPU, especially if it's nvidia. Use a calculator.
>just chose whatever RAM and SSD
then finish your build and come back nerd
>>52677753
Oh, I'm not sure how many games you can fit on that SSD if that's the case. Storage wise, they're no worries. I just saw the 390 and the small SSD and thought you'd be running some games at least off them
>>52677738
You're probably right about the case fans.
However, I am definitely not overclocking in an NCase, and I'll need a new motherboard for a 6600. (The mobo is from a previous build)
>>52677880
I hav ebuilt the computer already, I made a mistake on getting that overkill PSU, but all well at least its more future proof right?
