Going to build my first gayming PC how did I do?
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/kpZTHN
I wouldn't bother with the 3rd party cpu cooler on the i3 and use the money on a better gpu with at least 4gb of vram (stretch to the 8gb rx480 if you can).
>>343615472
Won't that card blow up my motherboard though?
>>343615582
I haven't heard of any mobo's that have blown up from it, only spikes in drawing too much from the PCI-e slot. Which unless it's constant wont damage the mobo.
In saying that though, the cooler on the reference rx480 is hot garbage, wait a few weeks and see what the 3rd parties do (hopefully a 8 pin power connector or a dual 6 pin combo).
Look up whatever is recent and slap in a 1TB hard drive
And fucking trust me on that last one you NEED a 1TB hard drive
>aftermarket cooling
>for a stock i3
you know it comes with one itself right?
>>343615212
Get a 1080
>>343616039
>entire build costs 800
>"get a 1080"
are you retarded
>>343616141
The card you picked is going to be gimped to shit in about 2 weeks because of gameworks and the 1060 and isn't even going to run anything more than assfaggots and overwatch on the lowest settings at 30fps, especially with that cpu as well.
Meanwhile you wasted money on "essential" shit like gaymer peripheral shit and an SSD that you probably won't even use to the fullest. If I were you I'd seriously check your priorities again because if you build that piece of shit it's going to be obsolete right out the gate and you just wasted a good $450 on parts that need to be replaced immediately if you want to keep up in this generation.

You're retarded. I hope that was the kind of feedback you were looking for.Get a 1080
since this is basically tech support I'm gonna ask here
I built a new pc and everything runs great, games get 60+ fps on high settings, but unless I close out of everything games crash, and I can't unpack any archive bigger than 2 gigs without going into safe mode
I thought it was a power supply issue at first, but even if I was OCing, my psu should be enough
>>343617308
Sounds like a ram issue, how much do you have and what size sticks/how many?
>Falling for the pcmr meme
>>343617530
It's 2 8gb sticks of ddr4 shit
>>343615212
Dont bother with a 144hz monitor, that card won't be running any game above medium-high settings above 60fps anyway. Get a ~$100 1080p, 60hz monitor with good response time and spend the $70 you save on a bettercard
>i3
Top kek
>>343617308
I had a similar problem and it was because in updating my bios I'd wiped out the settings on my ram cards
OP, i don't know if you're still there, but here's a revised list from that mess of a build you put together.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Jbs4Cy
I took away the aftermarket cooler because you have no business for one with a fucking locked i3 processor. you're not overclocking shit, so you don't need it. that's money saved right there.
The keyboard you picked is overpriced garbage. i found a fucking mech keyboard for cheaper than that shit. i threw it on. also logitech mice are literal garbage. i'm not just saying that. i've gone through several, expect them to always have double click problems within 1 year. changed it to a steelseries 100. their click actuators have been proven to be more reliable.
you also have no business needing a 144hz monitor with a fucking 950. that card can't gonna push anything past 60 frames per second. i changed the monitor for it's closest 60hz cousin. saved even more money there.
The sound system is garbage, but it's something, so i left it. i would strongly advise investing rather in a good pair of headphones or some shit, you'll get better quality audio that way, but whatever.
i also changed your case because your motherboard has a usb 3.0 header but the case had no i/o ports for it. plus the new one looks way fucking better than that nonsense you picked. also cheaper i think. i can't remember. either way it's better.
so with all those changes, we saved about 100 dollars, so i went ahead and upgraded that 950 to a 4gb 960. even with that upgrade, it's still cheaper than your old build. there's also no longer any compatibility issues between any of your parts. everything will work together as it should.
i'll be around for any questions if you want.
>>343617776
>wiped out the settings on my ram cards
you what
>>343617615
Well if it's the ram, both sticks would have to be fucked for those kinds of issues. Get memtest (or hiren's/ultimate boot cds, either includes memtest along with a bunch of other testing programs) on a flash drive and test it overnight.
>get at least an i5-6500 or better
>don't need anything but stock CPU for non-k series CPUs
>I have that mobo it's pretty great
>Get a better brand SSD
>For god's sake at least get a 480 or something, a 950 is awful
>don't trust anything Rosewill, Corsair makes some good microatx towers if you want something that doesn't look gaymer
>don't get a 144 hz monitor with that shitty gpu
>BUY A SEMI/MODULAR PSU
>>343617812
also, to add to this, i used the 960 as a card to use since the 480, the savior of gaming, is getting a lot of shit. i would personally switch to that if you don't mind waiting to put this build together for a few weeks. there will be aftermarket versions of that card coming out that'll fix the issues it's having. that'll be the best bang for buck card in the 200 range, and that'll fit right into the budget for this build.
>>343617897
I ain't got no flash drive dawg
>>343617976
I agree with most of your points, but with a budget build like this, id probably just drop the ssd altogether. The psu is also fine, non modular saves you $20-30 on average.
>>343618096
Damn, well unless you have blank cds and a disc drive, your only other choice is partitioning a space for it.
I am also building a rig most of the parts are done.
However i have no idea what kind of storage "system" should i use.
SSD + a 7200 rpm HDD?
Windows + programs installed on SSD maybe some games then rest of the games installed on the HDD?What is an optimal setup?
I already have a 2TB WD USB for strictly storage.
>>343618324
Also what brands are trustworthy and what is an ideal size of SSD i should look out for?
>>343615212
What games are you planning on playing? Or at least some genres
Getting a 144hz monitor is a bit pointless with that card unless you're planning on getting hardcore into cs:go. There's very little you'll be able to run at that speed.
I would also spring for some bigger drives. 120 SSD is pretty small if you plan on putting more than 2-3 games at a time on it and 1tb will fill up faster than you think if you're ever downloading or storing video.
posting in this thread to point out graphics:
a bunch of these anons are talking horse shit, as I'm on a gtx 670 right now and it plays over watch on high settings. Yeah it's not ultra or whatever, but it does play the game with no issues and looks good on a 1080p monitor...
This old card can also run the witcher 2 on high but I have yet to test the w3
OP if don't plan on buying ultra graphic intensive games then your selected card should suffice
>>343618324
that's what i do.
C is SSD - OS + Music
D is HDD - Games
E is HDD - TV/Movies worth keeping, Video Projects I'm working on + porn kek
H is HDD - Torrents
>>343617876
he wiped out the settings on his ram cards
>>343618456
there's no reason not to buy the latest card in that price bracket if he doesn't already have one. why the fuck would you go back and buy a 670 when the rx 480 can be had now for budget price and beat your old shit card?
>>343618456
Nobody with half a brain is debating that it can run games on high, but it definitely won't be running most games at 144fps while also on high/max, he can save a good $50+by going with a 60hz monitor.
>>343618585
I never said he should buy a 670
I was saying that what he selected should suffice for the majority of games out there
>>343618648
read >>343617812
barring the 960 he selected, this build with a 480 stays in the same budget. no reason not to do that over a 950.
>>343618143
>id probably just drop the ssd altogether
I see this get posted a lot as advice here, and I agree it's completely non-essential so if you're desperately trying to cut every corner possible then you don't need it. But it is a really noticeable improvement over a standard HDD so I'd say it's definitely worth ponying up an extra $35 for one
>>343618587
Op here lots of good suggestions but I got what I could afford now with room for future upgrades. Skylake<kabylake and GPUs are easy to switch out, also windows 10 ssd boot plus 144hz general browsing = godlike tried it at Fry's and it is smooth and fast as hell. Some great suggestions though.
>>343618708
Didn't see that post. I was commenting on what I expected for shit posts of GET A 1080. a 960 should be fine
>>343618324
get an ssd for your OS and to install critical programs on. I personally have 120gb ssd for the programs I always run, and an HDD for storage. If there's a game that I'm always playing I install it onto my C:/SSD drive but all my other games that run off the HDD are fine... Loading has never been an issue for me off the HDD and it's 7200 rpm (nowadays you can get a hybrid drive or a 10000 rpm drive)
>>343618390

Get a rx 480 videocard ($200) u will want it if u want to game at 144hz. if u can get a quadcore i5 would be the best some games dont support duel core i3's
>>343618950
All right that sounds great.I was curious about the load times.
>>343619009
Thanks.
I think i'll go with a 120-200 GB SSD and a smaller HDD to store some stuff temporarily.
>>343617812
Could you build me a bitchin' PC with a budget of 800-1000? No KB, Mouse or monitor needed
>>343615212
>GTX 950
>2016
Do not buy that piece of shit. At the very minimum buy a 970 or a fucking rx 480. Even that overhyped card is better than a fucking 950.
Realistically the 950 is probably about to become an unsupported card.
Opinions on this one? My first build as well. I'll probably end up dropping one of the monitors and get a 1070.
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JbyNNN
>>343619326
Why don't you go on pcpartpicker yourself and choose from one of the numerous completed builds on there already?
>>343619141
this, it gets a bad rap on /v/ because AMD/AMD fanboys tried to pass it off like it was the second coming of Christ, but shilling aside it's a lot of card for not a lot of money. it'll work a lot better for you than a 950 if you can squeeze the extra cash into your budget
>>343615896
> you NEED 1tb
This shit's fine for me cuz, I've never had under 150gb free space either
>>343615212
If you haven't already got the keyboard, for the love of god use that money on something more useful, like a better gpu, or a psu that's rated gold, or at the very least bronze. jesus.
same with the 144hz monitor.
>>343616903
literally brain damaged.
>>343619141
no. just no.
>>343619326
Go to pcmasterrace or r/buildapc, or do the research yourself you lazy fucker. Even rudimentary research will find you good shit for $800 USD. Honestly, the build presented at the top is pretty shitty.
Getting myself this. Micro center has some nice deals to get 50$ off from the total.... the only card they have though is from MSI and I've never bought from MSI before
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/D3CRGf
Already have a monitor and keyboard. The only thing I'm a little worried about is the power supply. I have a thermaltake 850 thats been sitting in my closet, and I feel like it would be ideal to use that now instead of buying a new one... but my paranoia makes me wonder if I should buy a new one (probably not but its that nagging feeling)
>>343619326
Buy an Xbox Scorpio and spend the extra $500 on games! There's no way you could make a PC build that can handle 4K gaming for $499 or less.
>>343619451
why 2x 144Hz monitors? could get a lot better videocard if you dropped one
>>343619451
What the fuck
>>343619542
Well, sorta. Really, the best thing to do is to wait a few weeks or so for non-reference coolers to show up and for some issues to get patched. I wouldn't buy one right now. But in time it'll be a very nice budget card imo. I'll stick to my 970 tho.
>>343619653
how long has it been in your closet exactly? what's the warranty situation?
>>343619684
I said that in my post.
>>343619685
There's about $600 showing from peripherals there as I have no monitor or a good mouse or anything. "First build."
>>343619685
>console cost 300
>lol build a rig it's only 2000 dollars xDDD
PCucks ladies and gentlemen
>>343615212
Anon cut on the keyboard, mouse, case, speakers and ssd if need and get a better processor at least an i5-6500 and a better gpu.
>>343619793
either a 2 or 2.5 years. I used to do testing with it on server builds as part of my job so I didn't fuck around with it too much... but I've probably lost all warranty info as fuck if I know where I put the box/warrenty for it
>>343619451
Nice. I've got an i5-4690k, absolutely great CPU. I'd say bump the SSD up to 240-250gb, unless you plan on just using it for the OS and nothing else, having certain games there is a blessing (Any class I want at the start of a Red Orchesta 2 match, guaranteed, is pretty good). I'd say drop the Corsair PSU for a XFX or Seasonic, but that's just personal choice, plus those are some nice discounts on the PSU, My 970's an MSI one, so idk about the Asus one, but the one I have has some occasional.... problems.... so I can't really reccomend it.
And yeah, those monitors are a serious bit of spending, but once you go dual you can't go back, it's beautiful. I'd say go for 'em both

>>343615212
Okay my friend, you need some upgrades. Provided you can afford them. An i3 processor is, unless you're going budget mode, not really worthwhile.
CPU - The only CPUs you need now for an Intel Z170 chipset build are an i7 6700K or i5 6600K. Yes, the K matters. These are proper quad cores, and the i7 has hyperthreading.
Mobo - Unless you specifically need mATX, the smaller form factor motherboard, don't buy it. You want a Z170 chipset, not anything else. Ideally for motherboards you want Asus (best of all), MSI, and Gigabyte. If you can afford it get an Asus Maximus VIII Hero Alpha or if that's too expensive Maximus VIII Ranger. Failing this, get a "numbered" board, but buy Asus and be sure its a Z170 chipset and ATX (or E-ATX size) motherboard. mATX and mITX are super small, with less expansion ports.
Cooler - Not a bad idea, but I prefer a Scythe MUGEN instead on the cheap. Alternately, get a self contained all in one liquid cooler.
RAM - If you can afford it get 16gb of DDR4 2666 or faster for overclocking. If not, get a single 8gb stick instead, not 2 4gb sticks. Gskill and Corsair (not Platinum, too expensive) are two of the better RAM manufacturers that are reasonably priced
Storage - for your SSD, buy a Samsung 850 EVO for best technology for price/performance. Nothing else comes close right now. For your storage drive, that's not a bad 1TB drive, so a good choice there for general use/storage.
Video card - Outmoded. For price performance, assuming you're not buying used cards, buy an AMD RX 480. Wait a couple of weeks until the ones with non-stock coolers come out (ie Asus Strix RX480)
Case - Buy a Fractal Design or Corsair case instead. Better layout and quality still not too expensiive.
PSU - Not a bad one, but I'd look very carefully to make sure you don't need more than 500w. Use this configurator http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator . Buy Corsair, Seasonic, or EVGA.
>>343615212
get an i5 minimum
instead of 2x4gb sticks ram get 1 8gb stick now, save for another 8gb stick later (usually same one you bought first).
Get a better Power Supply. I recommend a 700-750 watt Silver/Gold power supply. It supplies power to your entire computer and is important. Don't go bronze, spend the tiny bit more to get a better power supply that will last.
My advice.
>>343620224
yeah I'd be nervous too then, up to you if you want to use a PSU with no warranty but personally I'd just get another one. I don't think thermaltake is bad either but it's not one of the brand names I always hear when people gush about power supplies
>>343620381
>Whats wrong with Rosewill?
The dingus probably used red LEDs and overheated all his components.
>>343619326
Yes, I could. but I'm in bed now, so no.
This shit is not rocket science. Look up bench marks on CPUs and gpus, and find out which ones you want based on budget to performance ratio.
As far as motherboards go, figure out what you want from it, go on new egg, find the most rated ones in your price range and pick one.
Psus, Google a wattage calculator so you know exactly how much you need, then find something that's rested by many people that didn't fall below 4 stars. Corsair's always a safe bet.
Ram is easy enough. Find out how much you want and just pick something. There's not enough variance between it all for a budget build to care. Gskill is good.
Mechanical keyboard if you can help it.
Don't buy Logitech at all.
Get a 144hz monitor if you care about high fps and your card will push 60+fps.
>>343620271
Appreciate the input, Anon.
What do you think about just dropping one of the monitors and picking up a 1070 though? I could always get another monitor later on, but I'd obviously like to not have to buy another GPU for a while so I might as well try to be set. Or is the 970 still handling games pretty well?
>>343620405
>Skylake
Cmon man, a 4690k is still pretty damn good. Although I don't actually know what hyperthreading is. Mind explaining what the advantages are like if I'm a first grader?
>16gb
>2666MHz
I feel like that's a completely unnecessary spend, but again, I don't really know the advantages. Isn't 8gb of 1866MHz all you really need?
A used 970 is probably the best bang-for-the-buck card you can get right now, IMO. £170 for the MSI 970 I got.
>>343620538
wellllll, the 970 still handles pretty much everything on max at 1080p, except for some of the most recent stuff. A year-ish from now you probably won't be able to play on Max settings with it at 60fps, but if you're comfortable with max at 30fps or bumping just a couple of the settings down by a notch, the 970's still gonna be good. But if you REALLY want max settings at 1080p60fps, I'd say wait for a little bit to buy a non-founders edition 1070. If you can get the second monitor fairly soon anyways, then yeah, just drop it for now and get a 1070.
>>343620746
If you're talking about used parts that's something completely different. but with that in mind...
4690K is fine, but not for a new build with new parts. i7 are hyperthreaded which means they enable each physical core to have a logical core. to oversimplify, it will let your PC run 8 thread instead of 4 you'd get in a quad core i5. Its still a quad core (physically), and it isn't the same as having 8 physical cores (to get that, you'd need to buy Haswell-E or Broadwell-E, X99 chipset awesomeness but it costs a fuckload. Literally $1000 for the 8 core part. Which, by the way shows up as 16 threads!) When a workload can handle using multiple procs, these threads will give it even more channels to get shit done faster.
on RAM, its pretty cheap now. 8gb is what I consider minimum for a gaming PC today. If you're getting 8, get a single stick of 8gb so you can add another single stick later to make an identical pair, instead of having to replace everything. The speed of RAM differs based on type. If you're on Haswell/Devil's Canyon, you're using DDR3. You can probably be fine with 1866 etc. Skylake and beyond use DDR4, so they "start" more or less at 2133 and go up from there. Faster ram speeds mean easier overclocking of both the RAM and the CPU in many cases for better performance. For DDR4, the price sweet spot is 2666-3200 or so. Above that its stupidly expensive.

I have literally never had more than 120Gb on this thing at any one time. It is the oldest component of my current build and is actually close to failing SMART because of its power on time.

Very low. Mostly just PSU is deed so you need new one anyway. Buy and test.
>>343627676
>I was thinking of putting my audio projects on the SSD when working on them an then later transfer them to the harddrive when finished.
No need, your audio projects will load very quickly to RAM and be there while being manipulated. But if you want to, go for it.

I mean, yeah, shit dude. The ASUS 970 was $199 last week.

Wait for a sale on a reader, or use a PS3.
As for the PSU, get a fanless one.

If you want a TRUE budget GPU, get a 7950/7970/R9 280X non-reference used. If you want a "budget" GPU, get a used R9 290, unlock the BIOS to a 390X, and enjoy. If you want a """budget""" GPU, wait for the non-ref 480s.

I don't know where you read that. Seagate drives have the highest failure rate of any manufacturer by a HUGE margin. See: 7200.11.

Push the latches on the RAM slots out, insert the RAM stick, and with one thumb on the top end of the stick and one thumb on the other, apply equal pressure until it clicks into place.

>Push the latches on the RAM slots out, insert the RAM stick, and with one thumb on the top end of the stick and one thumb on the other, apply equal pressure until it clicks into place.
...OR you could just give them a gentle thwack with a wooden mallet
>>343631654
PSUs are essentially a reservoir of power, IE "you have this much power available", rather than "I am going to charge each component with this much power". Think of it like a water reservoir; its how much water you have available, not how much water will be forcibly given. Components take as much power as they need from that reservoir, and the greater the power reservoir, the more components you can power.

TLDR the 480 is fine, if you're playing witcher 3 at 4K Max settings you might go over the PCIe specifications very briefly, but other cards like the 960 and 750ti have gone over PCIe specifications before(much more frequently and with much high spikes than the 480) and nobody had a problem then

>>343631861
It's a complete luck of the draw. A lot of MSi boards are fine, but they do have a higher failure rate than other boards. Statistically speaking, I would say 90%+ of MSi purchases are fine, whereas its more like 95%+ for ASUS/Gigabyte. Its a small difference, but significant.

youre also better off getting a pentium g3258 and OCing it
you need to do some more research on what you are buying.
you want a 144hz monitor but you buy a X50 series gfx card, you wont be able to hit 144 unless youre running cs1.6.
get a 380x and youre good on that end for a while

very rarely switching ports(if you ahve more than one dvi/hdmi/DP) on the GPU helps with that

try the new best mouse in the world(tm)
>>343615212
you need to be smart, for example, get a better MB, it will help you a lot in the long run, you may want to upgrade your pc, imagine getting a slightly worse machine now, but then next time you would have had to buy a completely new one you can change 1-2 parts and maybe add 1-2 sticks of ram and have your machine feel like it is brand new.
if you feel extreme I would even drop the SSD for now, focus on getting a good foundation and your machine will live longer and be a lot cheaper in the long run.
Better MB and I would have gotten a better PSU, 750 would be nice.
when it comes to video cards I like to buy the lower mid range cards that do well when you combine them, and then get myself a dirt cheap upgrade when the cards drop in price, but for that you sometimes need a better PSU

The EVGA GQ and the rebraded super flower units are pretty good.
>>343633410
It might be. It's really hard to measure real-world performance like that.
If you're actually doing work with that, then yeah, I'll give the 8350 a pass because you have a legitimate reason to need >COARZ.
But DEFINITELY go up to 16GB of RAM, because that's the only thing I can think of that would be a clear bottleneck in that situation.
>>343633324
Still under warranty so I'll RMA it to EVGA. Do you happen to know how long that normally takes anyway? I'm from Australia and apparently I'll have to ship it to Taiwan

it's fine, it doesn't go beyond 65C which is nothing for amd cpus and you would see these temps only in cpu bound games(rare)
>>343633469

If you got a cheap motherboard there's a fair chance you only have two memory slots, but if you don't adding two 4 GB sticks of any brand is fine.
>>343634282
Purely theoretically speaking, is 2x8 better than 4x4? I realise that I probably won't notice the difference if there is one, but just curious.
>>343634280
Not really. Pairs run independently of each other.
>>343634393
I have a cheap mobo but I'm 99% it has 4 slots. AsRock z77 pro or some shit.

>>343635095
That's not what I meant retard.
Here's a small example for you since you'll need it. For a gaming computer cores aren't that important, performance per core is. For a workstation cores are much more important, since you'll have more programs open and that utilizes cores more than the performance per core.
>>343635005
No, they don't.
More dedicated threads provides up to 50% of performance boots in application that properly utilize them. And before you start green texting with "there is no such applications yet" - there are. A lot of video encoding/decoding tool, encryption/decryption tools utilize this.
It depends what do you build your pc for.

Here's my build if anyone is curious:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2mRm8K
>B U Y I N G W I N D O W S 10
Yeah, I know but by the time I get it they free windows 10 update for windows 7 will be gone
>Microsoft Office
Tried other alternatives but, prefer office

>Optical drive
It's 2016, that's just a consumer protection feature
>>343635812
>>B U Y I N G W I N D O W S 10
nah it's more like:
>BUYINGOPTICALDRIVE
why?
>>343635801
>nobody was talking about CPU to begin with
Okay I'm a retard then, thought it was about cores/cpus
I'm sorry
>>343635949
wow somebody admits they were wrong! there's still hope for humanity
>>343635885
>>343635906
So you're telling me I don't need an optical drive? Oh okay. But, how do I install windows on it then?
>>343635812
Your case doesn't include 5.25 drive bays
while we're on the topic, what does /v/ think about this for a gaming rig?

You're missing out.
>>343636168
Download the iso onto a flash drive and buy a serial key
>>343636168
like everyone else with usb stick
>>343634839
sry, I meant 256Bit.

This is what I've got so far. I'm trying to keep costs low by reusing what parts I can from my current PC.
PSU is a 620W antec one IIRC, going tro double check that when I give the case a cleanout later this week.
The case is this one https://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/Midi+Tower/XClio+A380+SuperTower+Black+Window+25cm++36cm+Fans+?productId=32399
Discontinued but I still think it should do the job.
Already got a spare HDD to use for it and I can just swap over the disk drive and wireless card as well.

You replied to comments about RAM, you dunce.
>>343635691
Processors have a relatively minimal performance impact in games compared to GPUs.
>>343635698
>buying an OS
i5, RX480, 8GB, 600W, 250GB/2TB. Play around a bit with that.
>>343636168
Flash drive and pirating it.
>>343635812
no 5.25 drive bays and you can get a windows key for way cheaper from kinguin or other key sellers, just make sure it's the worldwide version. MS has all the stuff you'd need to make a bootable usb on their site.
>>343615212
>950
get a ps4 neo
>>343636152
He is still an Idiot, can't read and understand the subject and still infidels the thread with his holy jihadi opinion.

My recs for your build

>unless you already have a monitor, either drop the GTX 1080 or buy something better than that VS228H
>>343636379
>Processors have a relatively minimal performance impact in games compared to GPUs.
You're wrong. Certain games, my friend. There are these certain games out there.
>>343636953
Yeah, I'll agree on that one. Still, I suppose there's dumber purchases for gaming than an i3.

Not really.
CPU is responsible to the lowest FPS during GPU bottlenecks. GPu won't help you here
Can anyone eli5 to me in like 2 sentences how installing OS from a flash drive works?
>>343636351
Oh god, I remember those towers. Are you sure you won't reconsider?
Only rec is to think about an SSD, even a ~100-120GB one, for OS and programs to make it fly. Godspeed.
>>343637179
Download Windows 7 USB Download Tool, point it to ISO, make bootable USB.
Boot from USB in BIOS, install.
>>343636170
>>343636267
>>343636279
>>343636379
>>343636382
Ah okay. Might just pirate it then. Thanks guys.
>>343636514
>swap the 6700 for a 6600K and optionally overclock
Is their any main differences performance wise between the 6700 and 6600K besides rendering videos? Just wondering
>unless you already have a monitor, either drop the GTX 1080 or buy something better than that VS228H
Would this be an okay monitor:

Fallout 4, too, but nobody plays that piece of shit, right?
>>343636216
pls respond
>>343637362
Any limitations/missing features that would pop up, or would it be the exact same as if I purchased it?
>>343637118
All multiplayer games pull from the CPU. All of them.
>>343637486
Literally the same as a disc.
>>343637486
The BIOS does the same things with a bootable flashdrive as it would with a bootable disk, so no.
My friend has a shitty old AMD CPU, think it's an AM3 socket one. He has an even worse graphics card, think it's only 1GB.
He asked me what graphics card he should get for >$150 and I said the 950 because it's only $100 on newegg (with rebate)
Obviously I told him just getting a whole new build would be a smarter idea but he's in college and can't.
Should he get the 950 or is it going to be bottlenecked so bad I should just tell him to get a 750ti or something.

why? do you plan to use it? if not sure or not - then why overpay for useless features? Get a cheaper model in line.
>EVGA SuperSC 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
Nigger, I will be honest, 16GB RAM isn't enough for me already
I'm that kind of a guy who want to keep all 3 browsers open and play vidya without system complaining about lack of memory. Get 34 or 32.

is this a reference/founder's? I hope no.
GB's WIndorfce are pretty okay cooling system
