Yeah, but I want people to make fun of me for having a 4790k and a 1070.
Really looking forward to upgrading my cpu next month
no need to upgrade yet... ?
ayyy imao
>>343472229
im going to make fun of you for having 60hz monitors, fucking pleb
get a 1440p 144 hz ips panel ya shitter
You did buy your Rx 480, right /v/?
>>343473038
Don't want my motherboard catching on fire.
OS: W10 Pro

Is this an okay deal? I know I'll probably just get lots of >buying prebuilt
but I'm a total tard and don't wanna mess up building a computer. The only thing that looks like could be better is the graphics card but that's easy to swap right?
>>343475320
Absolutely terrible deal. You can build one for 2/3rds the price with 3 year full warranties on parts from manufacturer and superior quality parts. Even if you don't know what you are doing. It is no more complicated than assembling the most basic lego kit

>How is Ivy bridge with bottlenecks with your 980 ti?
Non-existant. Nothing over the 2500k has any real world impact at above 720p in any game since 2005.
The bottleneck your retarded mind may have confused would be weaker i7s vs the E series processors which have more PCIe lanes for multiple GPUs and PCIe interface SSDs. But my 980Ti only uses 16 lanes, which is less than half of what the i7 Ivy Bridge processor provides.
tl;dr you're beyond retarded
>>343471998
Can I runGTA Von this toaster?
>>343475929
Some one should edit an RX 480 as the GPU.
>>343476512
Now for rendering in a development application, visual studio, compression, encryption and encoding. Yes absolutely newer CPUs are superior. But in videogames? The difference is so minuscule (fractions of a framerate) that they might as well be a rounding error.
>nb4 only pretending to be retarded
>>343471998
>just cause 3 alone is forcing me to go from an i5 to an i7
sigh. at least it won't be too much. just gonna be a pain to replace.
>>343476512
>>343476746
Not only this but the only way you can actually display how a CPU performs in a game is to lower to sub-720p and disable the graphics card. With a dedicated GPU, as long as you are newer than Sandy Bridge everything performs identically

>>343477219
A static discharge isn't enough to fry a computer component unless you bridge two contact points on the PCB of your GPU or motherboard and jump it. But even then a static charge is so weak it shouldn't ruin the connection.
Also why are you assembling on carpet? Move it somewhere easily sterilized and dust free (i.e. your kitchen, faggot).
I'm content with it and won't be upgrading anything for a long time.

On PC you can browse the Internet while playing video games. I'm not even kidding. It's actually legitimately possible.
I hope to upgrade mobo and cpu to [mobo] and i5 6600k

>>343480227
>>343480241
Jesus Christ, you have a newer CPU than me and I still don't feel any need to upgrade. In fact my only legitimately upgrade path is something that is barely faster for single core (eg gaming).
Is this upgrade new CPU some AMD thing or what?
>>343480251

>>343480296

What the fuck is the point of buying a 1070 when you have 1080p 60hz monitors?
You're going to notice literally zero difference from whatever you upgraded from.
Where my Sandy Bridge Master Race bros at?
there's about a $100 difference between an i5 6600k and an i7 6700k
Is the i7 worth it at the moment?

Hyperthreading is really nice for virtual machines though
I've been thinking about getting a 980 ti, will my cpu bottleneck it?
I hate summer. This is it idle.
>>343481824
Why get a 980 ti when you can get a 1070 for better performance, better thermals and better power savings?
>>343481824
No, not even a little bit. The only people who should have a concern about bottlenecking a 980+ card are those that don't have PCIE 3.0 busses on their mobo. However as >>343476512 >>343476746 and >>343477026 point out, if you're just gaming, you won't notice shit
>>343481990
1070 is not better than 980ti
>>343482102
just took this screen.
Its actually not that much, its even not that much compared to a titanX.
Its still not worth upgrading, unles you VR, maybe you can take advantages of it.
>>343482716
wrong benchmark?
>>343482014
Dude, no card saturates a pcie 1.0 16x bus.
>>343483058
Exactly my point.
To clarify:
The only people who should have concern about bottlenecking a 980+ card are those that don't have a PCIE 3.0 bus on their mobo who have additionally failed to do any additional research on the topic
>>343481990
This is so wrong that it hurts.
>>343483058
then why have they upgraded PCIe if it hasn't even now been tapped out?
just curious, no bully
>>343482921
No, its to show the difference between all of the "newest shit"
And to prove that unless you have the money to throw, there is no actual reason to upgrade.
The actual difference on those cards may vary, sometimes even the titanX beats everything except the 1080, but depends on the games, and also depends of jewvidya and his shitworks.
This tests are going to be the closest to reality, because in 2, or maybe 3 driver upgrades, performance in older cards is going to drop very hard, instead of improve the new ones.
To reach the 2ghz clock showed by novidya in his conference, you need to watercool and do serious OC, Now custom builds reach like 1600-1700 wich isnt that much far from the 1400 that pic related can do with OC and boosclock, and mine, like almost all titanXs are reference.

>>343483558
>>343482921
This anon put something better.
You dont need to upgrade unless you go beyond 1080p or beyond 60fps
The 970 and a 390 are more than ok for a decent build, same with Cpu´s showed by another anon at the start of the thread.
Unless you OC a single core, there isnt that much difference for the money involved.
Probably going to buy another 980ti after i upgrade my monitor.
inb4 why'd you buy a 5930k. I got it for free
inb4 no you didnt
>>343483558
Can't wait to get my 1080 FTW to replace my aging 980Ti. I game at 3440x1440 and need to extra omph

>>343483882

Why don't you buy a nicer monitor first so you can actually take advantage of all that horsepower?
I'd go with this http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/asus_rog_swift_pg348q.htm if I was in the market for a new monitor. But I bought mine at CES 2015 (the Dell U3415W)

Kill yourself. 980 ti's are better than the fucking 1070's. People who fell for the 1070 get BTFO
>>343484231
oh, the CPU is a 6800k. not sure why its not reading
>>343484231
You have computer for like 3 more years.
And the bottleneck surely will be the videocards again.

I need to get a 4K monitor so not yet. That's next on the list.
>>343484929
You can't play 1440p or 4k DSR at 144FPS. Also assets in modern games are rendered at 60/30/15 depending on the tier the are (primary/secondary/tertiary). None of it scales up beyond 60FPS, which is why 144hz monitors are memes. Even foliage is manipulated at 30/15fps normally, unless it is put center focus, then it sometimes is given priority processing and will ramp up a little bit, or add in motion blur.
A wider color gamut, superior color accuracy and higher resolution all make a more significant difference in 99.99% of games. Since engines can scale textures (just not framerates beyond what the original asset was captured/renders at/cycles at)
Most gaymur monitors are TN panels which don't meet 60% of the industry standard for gamut and bit depth. It is an objectively inferior experience.
There are some rare exceptions to this rule. Like people who competitively play Quake LIVE or UT 2016. But that is really it. That niche genre represents about .01% of the market. No other competitive shooter scales assets above 60fps, they just use predictive in-between to fill in gaps. That animation was never there, it is not much different than motion blur applied to inferior 24p motion pictures you see in the cinema.
>>343485674
1070 fags BTFO
>>343482102
Typically speaking thats how it works. A XX70 from Nvidia is about on par with the XX80 from the previous generation
How daft are you?
>>343485842
You must have never used a 144hz monitor. The difference is night and day, and not placebo.
>>343485705
>no
>yes since you're starting from scratch but either get a 970, 980ti, 1070 or 1080 or wait for 1080ti, the price to performance on the base 980 was BTFO as soon as the ti came out

>>343486061
I've gamed at 120fps. Sure it is "smooth" but you aren't getting more information that way like you did from the bump to 30 to 60. If developers started rendering/capturing at 120fps then I'd be inclined to agree there is real value in it.

RE: OC, youtube that shit until you know what you're doing than just get MSI afterburner for your GPU or the new AMD crimson shit if your card is supported (don't think it is) because it has built in OC tools.
for CPU you do it all in BIOS stepping up carefully until it crashes, then step down a level and you've found your sweetspot. test test test until you are sure it's stable

nfi
can't even remember what what my psu has
i think i'm going to skip the overclocking. some website put the amd 8350 at 77fps min and the 4320 at 67min
my monitor is only 60hz anyway so higher than that is just bonus
probably just going ot buy this shit after i can get to the bank. friend has been praising the fuck out of it for months now.
>>343488038
4600 is surprising capable, I ran most games at 1080p medium settings with no AA or shadows pretty well. Don't know about SS though, it's an old game but it throws a lot of enemies at you.
Why not give it a go and steam refund if you can't handle it?
Is getting a water cooler actually a good idea?
I mean it seems better than a fan, but I dunno, seems like one minor failure or manufacturing error could destroy everything.
>>343488301

i know it isn't the stock cooler, at least.
you can see why i'm leaning towards not bothering with overclocking. i'm far too lazy and ignorant for it to turn out any good & i'm not sure why i considered it in the first place, knowing the lazy&ignorant part
>>343476512

Only other thing I might do to this build is throw in another 1080 when I have some spare cash or they go down in price (probably whenever the 1080 Ti comes out). Otherwise, I am pretty damn set for the next few years.
>>343488992
Do I just run it into the ground then upgrade or do I need to buy some more thermal paste? I've only had it for about 2 years.
What do I do next
Give me some enlightening advices
Who /bottleneck/ here?
>>343489202
Eh, just keep at it if it's still working.
58 is high but not THAT high, just make sure your system doesn't have dust clogging up.
>>343489181
Those are not SSDs. Just regular external drives. Speccy is bugged
>>343489239
Either upgrade to a 1070 when they are cheaper, or get a SSD. Your processor is good.
Laptop coming through. Edited in the correct GHz.
How are your overclocks, /v/?
4.6ghz with 1.36v for me. Confirmed for losing silicon lottery for Sandy Bridge.
>>343489324
I just cleaned the dust out of everything today when I finally installed the second stick of RAM, so that should help things a bit.
>>343472916
1 monitor, 770, those temps. Anon please don't pick on others when you have shit like that.
>>343489773
>56c
Anon, pls lower voltage
I hate my life.
>>343490002
M8, what is even the point of a 1080p monitor there.
Holy shit, why is everyone on /v/ so poor.
Are literally all of you children?
For being a "pc master race" it looks like 90% of you have computers that a new console would wreck.
>>343489475
4.4ghz 1.12v Ivy Bridge
>>343490114
youtube?
>>343490192
You say this and don't post your own.
>>343490282
Be honest.
How taxed is the 4800 when watching 1080p60
>>343490114
Runs fine, CS:GO and 2D games i'm playing mostly.
>>343490340
You mean by watching videos? It runs fine, never had a hickup.
>>343490192
Post your own speccy then.
>>343483882
did I do good?
>>343490989
Why did you get the non-k version of the 6700 on a motherboard that is more or less designed for overclocks? Don't get me wrong, it is a fine build, but just seems like you put in a lot of money in stuff you fully cannot use.
>>343488832
It's not *that* shit, Speccy just can't read AMD temperature sensors correctly for some reason. Get CPUID HWMonitor, it's much better for AMD CPUs.
>>343490989
>no ssd
no you didn't.
>>343489289
you only have one small hard drive? wtf?
>>343490989
>>343491796
I have great internet and don't really download videos.
And when I beat games I just delete them.
>>343491796
>SSD
>hard drive
but yeah anon, that's laptop tier storage
>>343471998
What should I upgrade /g/ ??
>>343490989
>4095 MB 970
>>343473182
>SLI
way to waste money kek
SLI works worse on most games
>>343492081
CPU, at this point.
Cutoff for real bottlenecking is Sandy Bridge.
>>343492193
i do not understand sandy bridge?
>>343490989
Holy shit anon.
Why the FUCK would you not spend the extra 20 bucks on an unlocked processor?
You bought the expensive overclocking mobo, but then bought a CPU that can't be overclocked?
You shit the bed homie.
>>343492287
i5 2500k - i7 2600k.
>>343492376
hmm if im going to upgrade im going for a 6700k 4ghz, its not very useful to go for a shitty cpu i rather get top of the line or else i keep upgrading
but yeah i need ddr4 and a new mobo too
>>343492469
Nobody is really sure whether to recommend an i5 or an i7 right now.
DX12 is still pretty unknown.
>>343492640
do you think the i7 6700k 4ghz is gonna drop in price? its €375 now where I live
I also want corsair veangence led ram 2x8gb and preferably an msi z170 carbon rgb because i want edgy teenager lightning in my case since it has been a childhood dreama nd i never actually done it, i know feel free to judge me
>>343492640
honestly you won't "need" an i7 unless you're playing fuckhuge MMOs or some other really CPU bound shit or you do actual work like video editing but it's nice to have the headroom just a slightly higher baseclock out of the box and more threads in the fuckall games that can use them
the real quesion is 2 to 15 FPS on average worth $200 to you?
spend it if you have the dosh but most don't
>>343492878
The problem is that a ton of intensive AAA games are starting to really tie stuff into the CPU.
Tomb Raider, Syndicate and W3 all see large gains from CPU, and some people think DX12 will really start using more than 4 cores.
>>343492871
Maybe when AMD dribbles out their new architecture.
Hmmmm does my computer exist?!
>>343494493
Now run 3dmark.
Might get a cheevo
>>343488151
It actually ran perfectly. At least I'll have some 3D games to play while I wait for the Nitro 480.
>He doesn't have a zalman reserator 3 max dual water cooler to cool the shit out of his cpu during summer
all plebs
Well this embarrassing, I have no idea why my CPU is running so hot.
I'm rebuilding my PC in a few weeks so I should be able to fix it by then. Bought me one of those Noctua heatsinks for my i7-6700k. I'm also putting 3 more fans in my case to really boost airflow.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on a GTX 1080, the EVGA SC model.
>>343496303
Oh shit I think I know why my CPU is running hot. Fucking ASUSs easy overclocking shit. I set it to 4.2 ghz and it must just set the voltage higher. Fuck my laziness.
>>343496303
>Noctua heatsinks
>he actually bought a huge expensive radiator with two fans
>>343496487
I'm not fucking around with liquid cooling so I figure I would grab the largest radiator I could and just pump a fuck ton of air through my case.
vega needs to hurry the fuck up
the 1080 is tempting me so fucking hard im about to say fuck freesync
>>343496568
How much did you pay for the noctua ?
I was lucky to find the watercooler at 100 dollars (more than half the price was off)
>>343496264
>AMD and false reporting ftw
It's likely running at more like 30-40c idle. Which is pretty normal friendo~ Got an 8350 in two of my other systems, it's cute when it posts 10c
>>343496416
Shouldn't be that high.
I use the Level up thing to hit 4.6 and I idle at 40s.
>>343496749
When working it usually shows 40C but idle doesn't pass 20C
Sorry if you're too poor to buy a good cooler m8.
>>343496734
Like $80? I don't care that much to be honest. I really don't want to fuck with liquid cooling.
I've got that Cool Master Hyper 212 now, that cheap as shit one and it's not that great. Figure the Noctua is going to be a significant upgrade.
>>343496852
I'm currently using CPU-Z to monitory my clock and it's sticking at 4.2 ghz even though I just have VLC, Chrome, Skype, Steam, and a few other small things open. I'm going to just chalk this one up to not enough airflow through my case.
I have a Fractal Design Define R4 with only two fans in it right now. It's a great case, but I probably need a bit more cooling. I've got 3 more fans to throw in it when I rebuild so that should fix my cooling issues.
>>343496881
>Poor
You do realize, one of my monitors costs more than your entire rig, right?
Here's one of my AMD systems. That temp is fake as fuck you autistic sperg.
Do ram frequency really matter ?
>>343497174
It's been proven that fast ram can really help if you have an older OC'd CPU.
>>343497174
Only if you're keen on overclocking.
>>343496881
anon did you even look at that speccy cause i dont think money is a concern for that anon
I need a new graphics card.
>>343473038
i sure did
>>343496749
>6 displays
Damn nigga, I thought my 3 was enough. You must do more than vidya.
>>343497024
It's summer too, I hope you get your temp's shit together. Good luck!
>>343497071
>actually buying expensive computers to show people on a board how much of a big shot you are and actually brag about it
I guess that facebook shows much more radiant shades of blue huh
Also
>fake
>he's not able to make good decisions when buying for his computer so no one is
>>343497509
I do a lot of rendering and production, usually got 4 monitors with work shit, one with vidya, and one for reading.
>>343497602
Holy shit this denial. He's right you fucking massive cock sucking faggot, AM3+ chips report core temps incorrectly. Can't you use fucking google you shit sucking sperglord?
Thanks, your autism triggered my own. Fucking AMD poorfags.
