>>52894739
non k chips can have their multipliers adjusted now on many motherboards, allowing for basic overclocking. non k chips have always been advertised as non overclockable, only now skylake has a workaround allowing for it despite this. 2% gain is still 2%. Would you advocate in buying tech 2% worse for similar costs? perhaps you would advocate buying AMD "just because" or buying nothing at all?
There is no reason to hate skylake beyond price. AMD's offering are far inferior and you have to choose between AMD and Intel so you might as well get better per clock performance and IPC with intel.
>>52894667
I think he means Samsung ones.
The only reason that people shit on Skylake here is because tons of people on housefire Devil's Canyon Haswells, and are jelly as fuck that Skylake has superior IPC while having half the thermals.

>>52894417
SSD's are a more justifiable purchase than expensive cases, gaming motherboards, aftermarket CPU coolers, mechanical keyboards and probably a large number of other /g/ memes. There is noticeable performance increases on almost any task compared to even brand new HDD's. 16GB of ram are, in a lot of places, selling for almost the same cost as 8GB modules. If youre building a new PC right now, you might as well spend the extra $20 and double your memory. I've played games (planetary annihilation) that use 4GB on its own. add the OS overhead and background programs and youre looking at 6GB. In the next few years, who knows what the needs will be? At the end of my i7 950 life the 6GB tri channel was not enough to run some newer games and this was the recommended amount when I bought it.
everyone please stop bumping the bait thread
>>52894957
I'm astounded how many people on /g/ still rate a CPU by the amount of cores and clock speed, completely ignoring things like cache and transistor counts.

SSds is just not that you should avoid them senpai, is just that it is literally retarded to use them for archiving purposes... just get a small 60gb as a boot drive and its bretty gud actually, slapped one into my old 2007 Macbook Pro and it runs a lot better, i only us it for Djing tho.

>16gb of ram should be avoided
Tell you what op: try gaming while having a few browser tabs open, one of them streaming content to a 2nd monitor, and rendering/data backup/recovery in the background, then come tell us if 8gb are enough.
Top tip: my pc eats 10gb from gaming and streaming alone.

Oh. This thread again? Yes, let's call people stupid because they bought something you can't afford.
Fuck off back to /b, you retards have shit up /g something fierce.

Famille, you could at least have posted that fishe in HD.

Found the redditor
It's okay, i like reddit too
>>52894417
so an objectively faster means of booting, a reasonable amount of RAM and a new CPU are things that should be avoided?
Hipster tech is the fucking worst.
>>52897827
There's also a huge performance difference to go with that price difference.
>>52894444
Thank u based quad god.
I shall destroy my PC.
>>52894760
ram is dirt cheap, why not get 16?

Nice try HDD company
>every duopoly product that's objectively the best is shit because I'm a hipster who thinks his purchase matters when I'm really just caught in the same Genesis vs. SNES schoolyard marketing tribalism

OP did (probably accidentally, but still) choose the 840 evo though.
Untouched data degrades, it's fucking disgusting. I think I'm still one firmware behind, but this issue is with not really fixable AFAIK.
Pic related, it's my ssd.

Well, I guess /g/ is just a bunch of broke ass kids who hate people upgrading while they can't
Proprietary, freedom disrespecting softwares.

>SSDs
avoid unless you know why you need one
>16 GB
avoid unless you know why you need it
>skylake
avoid
>>52896888
they probably scripted it, and rendered it at 1/16 speed on a ps4 just to speed it up and claim it was from a PS4 kek
the bottom really looks bad though
ive only really played gta v and just cause 3 on my playstation
>>52896974
graphics were improved significantly, other than that not that much

>500gb samsung 850 evo
>not raid 5 of multiple high capacity intel ssds
>>52896854
ssds are for loading lots of data in a short amount of time
for server storage, large files like videos, lots of music, lots of pictures, large databases, etc hdds are still king
use the right tool for the job you sperg
ssds for applications or other performance critical data and hdds for high capacity, long term storage

The point is that it's not the same price, you retard. Compared to Haswell, the Skylake processors are slightly more expensive (except for the 6700K, which is a LOT more expensive), the motherboards are more expensive, and the DDR4 memory is more expensive. Depending on the deals you find, you can have a Haswell platform that performs the same for $50 or so less. You can then put that money towards more memory, or a SSD, or a better GPU, or a second/bigger hard drive, or a better PSU, or a nicer case, or a better monitor, or a mechanical keyboard, or better headphones, or going on a date with a girl (lel)... Anything but wasting money on the Skylake joke.
>tfw fell for the 850 evo meme
>>52894440
Lol google? That's impossible to avoid these days.
>>52900721
not really
>>52900721
how so?
use duckduckgo
use another email service
use vidme or just watch livestreams from twitch
use iphone
were else`?
>>52900311
Seriously famille, you're not supposed to believe these bait threads. Anyone who knows what's going on realises the benefits of a certain piece of hardware. The anti SSD/16GB meme is just to trick the normies who dare lurk on this image board.
>>52900754
>use iphone
Yes Apple is better than Alphabet.
>>52894865
future proofing is pretty much a meme
like people buying insane wattage PSUs for "future proofing" while TDPs are getting lower with each gen.
>>52900775
I wasnt saying its better
just that u can use that instead of android phones
Hell he could get a old Nokia phone that can only text and call, then there was no microsoft/apple/alphabet shit in it
pysical PCs and tablets with attached keyboards (i think they used to be called laptops or something)
>>52900807
Future proofing is more than just buying next gen. I currently own a midrange graphics card, but might go high end in the next purchase
>>52897608
Yes.
>tfw wanna fall for the furry sex meme
>>52894432
WHY? and this is not a bait... why people loath a system made for them and their freedom? its open and free of cost so everyone could use it, weather poor, rich, homeless you can use it, and everyone is equal in linux world... SO WHY LOATH SOMETHING THAT LIVES TO SERVE YOU AND NOT PROFIT?
>>52901561
OK, I'll bite.
If you have free software, there is not much incentive (apart from other /g/ents tearing the code apart) not to put spyware in your code. Look at it this way: For every 1 geek who knows what the fuck you did in that code, there will be hundreds of people just saying "Ooh, cool free software!" and not bothering to check. Just the same as torrenting. Companies, on the other hand, face charges if they pull this sort of shit.
>>52894417
>Samsung 850 Pro
avoid, go NVME if possible. if not, the 850 EVO is just fine
>16GB RAM
really depends on the workload. A few games I know of dump all the textures into RAM, so they eat it up quickly.
>Skylake
honestly building a computer right now isn't the best idea, with so many new parts coming out in the next 2 quarters
>>52901643
I got the ADATA SP500 (I'm not sure about the number right now, but it's an adata). Did I fug up?
>>52894760
I have a drone that films in 4k. So, yes.
Even if I didn't it wasn't expensive to get it. Might as well have it.
>>52901660
I think those got decent speed scores for a SATA drives. not NVME/PCIe speeds but pretty good. Not sure about the lifespan of it though. Samsungs are everywhere in the market so we have good failure rate data on them.
>>52901593
>companies face charges if they pull this shit
>people don't check source code
Companies do this shit all the time. Also, at least someone can check source code with open source programs-- with closed source, you don't know what the fuck you're getting.
>>52901776
True, but there is also a big chance that it's in the Terms and Agreements.
>inb4 people don't read that shit
True. But speaking as someone who can't read code fluently, I'd much rather get T&A than code.
>>52894417
What about corsair ram is bad?
Not a defensive troll, just want to know.
