Building my first computer soon. Are there any general things to avoid or be wary of when it comes to purchasing the parts? Its intimidating as hell looking at a parts list when you have no clue what you're looking for.
>>332232327
parts need to fit
you have to do your research until you know precisely what you're looking for
buy yourself a nice case that can support watercooling then shove a PS4 in it
Don't go AMD
>>332232445
fuck off nvidia
>>332232327
go all in on the motherboard and the CPU, because 'upgrading' those in the future tends to require basically rebuilding your PC, so it's best to get the best stuff, literally everything else just slots in with minimum pissing around with wiring and the like.
Make sure you get all the necessary parts. Motherboard, RAM, CPU, GPU, PSU, thermal paste, maybe some extra fans or an aftermarket CPU cooler. Some people recommend getting an anti-static wristband too, but I've found grounding yourself on the case works fine.
Make sure all the parts actually fit together. Check what CPU slot the mobo has before you try shoving a processor that won't fit in.
Cables are a pain in the ass as well.
Best advise I can give is do your research before buying, understand what the number/generations mean and don't overspend nor underspend. The build part itself is pretty damn easy and there are countless youtube videos for that.
>>332232564
that image makes no sense, mushrooms don't grow downwards...
the card was obviously left in a humid dirty place then the person took the photo next to the inside of the computer case to make it look cool

>>332232578
Oh I've built before. Just never got the parts myself. Keep thinking I'm going to fuck up and get some low quality part that ruins the whole build.
http://www.logicalincrements.com/
covers pretty much anything you could possibly need
the only thing it doesnt mention is drive cables, make sure you know which parts come with which cables and if you need to order more for all your shit.
all the core parts generally come with sufficient cables and good PSUs come with a bunch of cables for various parts, but always check how many you need and how many you get
>>332232327
Your motherboard/cpu/gpu/ram HAVE to match.
It will say if it supports it. Say you have an 8350 black edition cpu, your ram needs to be supported by it and the motherboard needs to be am3+
Just use pc part picker, it will tell you if things are incompatible.
https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/
Fuck this guy, do not go with amd, you will want to upgrade very quickly when you realize how bad their cpus are. I can't speak for their gpus but they run hotter and use more power.
>>332232564
>>332232327
You will regret it if you don't purchase an AMD CPU and GPU.
Make sure you put in those screw stands for the motherboard or else you'll kill everything. Had a friend who didn't know about that and when he flipped the switch he was out $800 instantly.
>>332233103

>>332233103
AMD cpus simply do not compare to intel, at least when it comes to mid to high end gaymen pcs
GPU is up for debate
>>332232975
their CPUs aren't great but the GPUs are fine cunt.
>>332232327
buy a nice case and nice power supply. splurge/over buy on both of these. a good psu will last a decade minimum and a good case will last as long you find it aesthetically pleasing.
buy a video card for your needs. if you have no plans to play on more than one display and are content with 1080p chances you dont need some big honking card with 40 niggabytes of vram.
buy a motherboard that fits your needs. if you have no plans whatsoever to overclock you dont need a an extreme XxXG4MER G9 ROLL OUTXxX motherboard.

These, AMD cpu's are shit. I had an 8350 for a little over a year and just couldn't take it anymore. Not only in games was the performance all over the place but on general applications as well. Aside from being on the slow side the thing would thermal throttle very very quickly becoming super slow.
>>332232761
then just stick to buying brands that you know have a good reputation, less chance for a bad part that way
also get a case speaker, those little things can help diagnose problems if anything goes wrong
What you want to do is buy the highest end Intel CPU you can, then purchase the highest end AMD GPU you can and you are set for literally 3 years.
CRRRRRRUUUUUNCCHHH
>>332232327
Get some fast ram, it actually improves framerate in some games.
>>332233431
Don't cheap out on the power supply. Get at least 80+ Gold rated, and get 30 - 50 watts more than what you actually need so you have some overhead.
>>332232327
Read the main board manual. Read about bios and performance settings.
Intel for processors, AMD for graphics
>>332233424
>>332233560
Don't listen to these faggots. Go PURE AMD.
Look up the power supply here and see who really makes it
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page5471.htm
You can get good bargains on Seasonic PSUs this way since a lot of PSU manufacturers will just rebrand their parts.
Try to pick up a fully modular power supply if you can afford it, will make your life a million times easier.
Don't buy a case that's majority plastic on the outside or doesn't have rubber grommets included on the inside. 100% guaranteed to be a piece of shit.
If you're Air Cooling, it's usually a pretty good idea to fit the heatsink before you mount the motherboard, even though most cases come with motherboard backplates, for a first timer it can be very fiddly to do inside a case.
Read the Motherboard manual and Case manual, since they will tell you where everything is supposed to go and what ways you can configure it all in.
Every single CD bundled with your products is useless, don't use them as anything more than coasters.
AMD GPU and Intel CPU is the path to prosperity and success
Rosewill PSUs are hot dog shit and to be avoided at all costs
You WILL get cut building the PC, probably by something sharp on the chassis. Think of this as a blood offering.
>>332233431
>You'll never get used to it.
>>332233424
This. Also get 2 harddrives, an SSD for your operating systems and a second harddrive for general storage/downloading. You can install a few very demanding games as well on your SSD, but put the majority on your regular HDD.
>>332233103
>>332233267
Stop misleading people into buying dog shit cpus.
I fell for the 8350 hype, I had to buy a new motherboard to switch to intel, the cpus are shit, fuck off.
>>332233392
Yeah, I didn't say the 8350 for no reason, I had it, upgraded to intel and I'm never going back unless amd dies some slav magic equivalent shit and steps up.
>>332233656
motherboard drivers are important
>>332233765
How much is Intel paying you per post, Ranjeet?
>>332233545
I build my PC a while ago and did read the manual, but when it came to bios settings it got really confusing really fast so I stopped.
Is there really potential for big performance increase?
>>332232327
If you decide not to go for the stock CPU Cooler, doublecheck the size of your case and the motherboard so it supports it
Be sure to read about fan positioning on your case so it brings up the cool air and expels the hot air
Worry about compatibility when buying your motherboard/cpu/RAM combo. Some Motherboards dont support certain sizes of RAM clips. Also Check for CPU/RAM compatibility if you are going for a budget build
Be extra fucking careful when putting the parts together. Get someone who knows what he's doing or double-check everything. It's intuitive but it's easy to screw up.
Dont forget thermal paste.
>>332232327
What ever you do don't be a retard and buy a AMD Fx series cpu
>>332232761
so long as your motherboard and CPU are solid, anything else can be replaced later, oh that being said, getting a good modular power supply is nice so you don't have loose cables cluttering up your case.
>>332233665
Wow, the first real computer building like thing i ever did was replace a power supply, and manged to cut my finger on something
>>332233785
If you have to update the BIOS, do it via flash drive. The manual will tell you how to do it all. Never, ever, use the CD. Ever. Pretend it's the bloodborne PC port shitposting thread.
>>332233840
Enough to buy a cpu that isn't complete dog shit evidently.
>>332233765
>i'm a retard with too much money that doesn't do research
Wait until the polaris/pascal gpus are released before buying yours.
>>332233987
Last time I built a PC I actually didn't have an optical drive and mounted an image of the CD.
Why is using via flash drive better than using the CD?
>>332232327
Make sure parts are compatible.
Read manuals if you aren't 100% sure what to do, if you need a visual aid there is multiple videos online to help.
Don't fall for nVidia or AMD memes, they are both good, buy what you can afford.
Make sure the case you order is large enough for the parts you're getting>
Semi-modular power supplies are easier to work with if you are completely new to building pcs. It will make the experience much easier.
If you are paranoid about static mucking up the build, pick up an anti-static wristband.
Just go to a site like this one http://www.purepc.pl/zestawy_komputerowe/jaki_komputer_kupic_zestawy_komputerowe_na_marzec_2016 and chose price-range you want.
Dont bother with "will it blend" will it "fit" BS.

This is the best advice in the thread.
Although avoid AMD cpu's, they are pretty shit at the moment unless your looking more towards the budget end. Thats coming from someone who owns one too.
>>332234104
I did do research, amd shit heads said it was a good match for a 970. This was also over the course of a year. If you think its hard to come up with a grand for a new computer in a year, you need to move out of your parents house.

My last build is around 8 years ago.
Go into every option and take Google advises, sometimes there is some shit turned on like shadow memory.
But you don't have to, it is only a minimal change in performance. I done it because I am a bit perfectionist, I wanted to know what is turned on and off and what needs to be changed.

the CD always has outdated drivers on it and also usually installs some kind of bloatware shit you don't need. it's always better to download the fresh ones off of the website.
if you need to update the BIOS, every motherboard these days has a USB port in the back they can flash from, makes it so easy to update the BIOS even a drooling toddler could do it. the CDs are just coasters. or frisbees.
Like others have said, just make sure its compatible.
I strongly suggest against getting an AMD CPU. I got one in my current rig (few years old now) and it is just terrible. However, that may just be my own experience.
You probably dont need an i7.
>>332234528
>you can only buy 1 card from each company
this is why GPU wars are stupid as fuck, both AMD and nVidia have good cards for different prices and ranges and you fags talk as AMD is one card and nVidia is another
>>332233665
Sometimes, PSUs aren't as black and white with brand. There are some good Rosewill PSUs otu there.
>>332234204
AMD cpus really are pretty bad though, unless you're on a tight budget people should avoid that shit. I'm hoping Zen is good, Intel needs competition.
>>332234528
Bullshit.
>>332234580
Polaris will keep heat and power consumption to a new low.
>>332232327
Make sure you wiggle the capacitors a bunch to make sure they're sturdy
>>332232327
Alright I'll contribute something.
Once you've chosen your CPU/GPU, be sure to check a PSU calculator before arbitrarily picking a wattage.
Take that number & go visit amazon or whatever the fuck, look for high-efficiency stuff (gold-standard), then once you have a PSU in mind check on:
http://www.jonnyguru.com/
To see if he's got a review. He'll spell out everything about it in a form a layman can understand.
Between all those things, you should be able to make an educated decision on what PSU to get.
>>332234448
And of course ram timings, sometimes it has the wrong timings set up.
And update your bios.
>>332234528

Not that guy but I had an 8350 but the biggest issue for me was consistency. I had an awful lot of microstutter in a lot of games, and I also do some 3d animation/rendering and that CPU would over heat pretty quickly causing the rendering speed to tank. Maybe I got really unlucky with my particular chip.

>>332232327
When you drop your CPU in the socket on the motherboard, give it a really good wiggle. You want to make sure it's in there securely.
Buy a Corsair CX series power supply. They're the best and cheapest semi-modular budget PSUs.
Go with an AMD CPU. The stock cooler will work wonders for you.
Save the boxes that all your shit comes in.
Even if you don't have to return it, it's good to keep around for a while after anyway.
I ended up needing my boxes for transporting the tower. So hey; kept some boxes, saved some money.

In the years of building PCs here is my wisdom
Never get AsRock - seriously just don't
QVLs mean jack shit, all you have to do with RAM is check the speed, channel and voltage
LEDs won't make it faster, you're not 14 don't make it look like you are
Build with reliability in mind, aka buy parts with the least failure rates such as Sabertooth motherboards, HGST HDDs, Corsair PSUs and so on
Go for silent fans, high airflow fans will garner like half a degree better temps, but you don't want it to sound like a fucking wind tunnel
Go liquid cooling, giant air coolers will bend the motherboard over time
Go AMD if you're budget orientated
Intel CPU and AMD GPU if you want the best balance
Intel CPU and Nvidia GPU if you want pure power
SSDs are not a meme
Sound cards however, are a meme

>>332236191
Holy shit that's a fucking server CPU.
>>332232327
When you go to get a CPU, I'm sure it's already been mentioned in here, go for ghz over # of cores.
If a program can only use one core, (and 99% only use 1-4 cores/threads), it will get the same performance out of a single-core 1.5ghz boat-anchor as it will a 16-core 1.5ghz server CPU.
the number of CPUs just dictates how many concurrent processes the computer can handle at once. Servers don't do heavy lifting, but they do a LOT of lifting, so lots of weak cores.
Gaming computers do some moderate/heavy lifting, and usually you'll be using it for casual computer shit besides.
So stick to 4-8 cores, and a 4ghz quad-core is better than a 3ghz octa-core.
>>332232327

This. I will NEVER EVER buy an AMD CPU ever again after getting my 8370. Even after OCing it to 4.5 it is an underperformer. First thing I switch out of my pc, even before my GTX 960, will be my FX-8370.
>>332236318
a psu takes the electricity from your wall and converts it into all the various voltages and currents that your computer uses. the efficiency in which is does this is rated as such, the rest is lost as heat. the more efficient a psu is the less power it takes. e.g. an 80+ plus psu means 80% of the power drawn is used the rest is lost to heat.

Its easy as fuck.
Seat the CPU properly, you'll likely think you're putting too much force on it but you won't be. Put the correct amount of thermal paste on. If you get a custom heatsink make sure it fucking fits the mobo correctly
Oh and fucking care about cabel management. Take it slow and do it right
And just touch the fucking PSU to remove any static.
The only real advice i can give is while the PSU is important and you don't wanna cheap out, people grossly overestimate how much power their systems need.
I'm running a 390 with a 4690, and have plenty of room left with my 600w. You can measure how much you need on several sites (PCP also does this iirc)

Didn't nvidia get gimped in dx12 benchmarks for some reason?
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-HD-7970-vs-GeForce-GTX-780
Anyone care to explain what are the differences between manufacturers of different GPUs? Like Sapphire or MSI? If you could list which ones are reliable and which ones arent that'd be great.
I'd also like to know about the "technology" on the CPU, why are some of them Sandy Bridge and others Skylake? Is one better than the other?
Consider that I'm essentially illiterate.

Their cards don't play well with async
will a Sapphire Radeon R9 390 8GB Nitro Video Card fit into a Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case? I already got the parts and someone said it does but i need to make room. what do?

When you install your CPU, it crunches loudly making you think you're destroying it.

>buying corsair cases
enjoy paying up the ass for a mediocre black box
As long as you ground yourself and don't open the power supply up there's not much that can go wrong. If something feels like it isn't going to go in, stop pushing. That's about it. It's just Lego with wires.

Even with the warning beforehand I was still not prepared.
Is the Fractal Design R5 a good case? I really like how it looks. Some basic shit should fit in there, right?
>>332241612
but will it fit?
Glad I have a friend that knows how to do this shit, sounds too autistic for me.

Corsair 330R is pretty without the window. I picked one up because I liked it, and it beats having the same R4/R5 that hundreds of thousands of others do.
>>332241521
So, I just went to the Corsair website, and it says how much room that case has for video cards.
Then I went to the Saphire website, and it says how long the video card is.
Find the answer yourself.
I'm not saying you have to be a technology expert, but you should be at least willing to do some basic Googling before dropping hundreds of dollars on computer parts.

define s unless for some reason you really need a dozen hdd mounts.

The different 'technologies' on the CPUs are just architectures/generations.
Skylake is fanciest, sandybridge is everywhere/cheap/still pretty fast.

Its psilocybe cubensis and obviously grown intentionally. Mushrooms aren't just going to sprout from your computer if its humid. I'm not triggered at all.

>>332241612
Nigga big black boxes are aesthetic as fuck
>>332241612
would you rather have a shitty acrylic lightshow? Minimalistic cases look way better.
>>332242774
My black box is better than yours.
>>332242674
nothing wrong with black boxes, corsair just massively overcharges for what you get.

I'll raise you this.

>Getting a fractal design but using one with a window side case
defeats the entire point of a fractal case.

You have to be autistic to NOT be able to assemble a PC yourself.

This happens because of how the pins on the motherboard contact the surfrace of the CPU, when the lever is pushed down.
If you last built a computer a while ago, it may have been with system that had the pins on the processor, and holes on the motherboard. They did this switch a while ago.

I have been playing for the entire summer with both the GPU and CPU going to 100ºC when not idling. Right now I have 10 chrome tabs open and they're both sitting at 75ºC

Here, you used the wrong image for your case.

Clamping down the CPU is the only really tough part because you don't expect to need that much force
