>gayming leds that make it go faster
yeah you did great
>>345082167
Please tell me you didn't buy a prebuilt with those specs in 2016.
>>345082167
>AMD
Holy shit c'mon not like I want to be stuck only to one brand but c'mon... AMD the driver updates alone(Or lack there of) will make you regret that, gave my GF the AMD card cause that shit sucks
>>345082167
nice bait idiot
>>345082167
Please tell me you didn't pay 700 pounds for that.
I built a machine with those same exact specs last year for 475$
Is this a bait thread?

C'mon lad
>>345082318
Don't compare US prices with EU or UK prices. EU VAT is monstrous as are the import dutes, meaning it's a far more expensive hobby. That and your wages are generally lower. Prebuilts actually aren't that much more expensive over here compared to custom builds
>>345082991
that's a complete lie
you shouldn't pay more than 500 bucks for this pile of shit
>>345082787
OP fucked up but are there any good guides with part lists for the 500 dollar range? All the ones I can find on google shilled AMD. I don't know much but I know they are apparently shit.
Doesn't even hold a candle to my alienware laptop.
You fucked up, op
>>345082590
if that shit was a car it would have 6 reverse gears. V8? more like "built to W8"
>AMD processor
It's bait you fucking idiots
>>345083046
you shouldnt even steal that shit.
how's my build, it's my first time building a computer.
I've been told that my GPU is shit so reccomend any good ones for 200-300$.
>AMD
i'm so sorry

>>345083282
Wait and see the 1060
>>345083065
>500 dollar range
The reason you're getting amd shilled to you is because it's your only option in that price range
Come up with another hundred dollars
>>345083065
Go on newegg and go figure
>>345083282
You probably can't get much for that price. I got an MSI R9 390 8GB. It's a pretty solid card for the price they offer you. It max goes 61 degrees on load for me. Only problem is you might hear the fan when it's on load, but it's not loud, just noticeable. So yeah consider checking out some reviews of it and benchmarks
>>345083282
Great apart from the 970
>>345083282
480, 390, or wait for the 1060
>>345083392
I saw the 1060 benchmarks and that things looks like some good shit for the price, I'll definitely pick it up. thanks, anon
>>345082167
It's okay
Frenchfag here. Rate my future purchase.https://www.topachat.com/pages/configomatic.php?c=3SN%2B%2BvaQrkaLBfKeZTPH9eYvTtqCj0Xam9qxLeRNqT4%3D
>>345084343
That's quite nice PC build, to be quite honest.
>>345084343
If I were you I would be buying a CB radio so you can try to convince people in trucks not to kill you, but hey, its your money.
>>345084449
Yeh the only problem is the RAM isn't officially supported by the mobo anyhow.
>>345084551
Hey, don't be rude. He is a nice anon, anon.
>>345084614
Your mobo does support DDR4 memory, so I think it is compatible.
>>345084636
But that was a serious suggestion
>>345083868
Just get a 1070. Vram is becoming more important for games and the 1060 has none.
>>345084717
Yeh but it has an official supported list here:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Fatal1ty%20Z170%20Gaming%20K6+/index.us.asp?cat=Memory
And it does not mention the RAM I chose as officially supported. Though it should still work anyhow I guess since that's also the case for my current mobo.
While we're on the subject, any suggestions towards a 1070? Gigabyte, MSI, something else? Is there a considerable difference?
>>345083282
Whats wrong with 970?
>>345085000
Besides the fact that it's a previous gen card that is more expensive than AMDs 480, while also being slower?
Not to mention >3.5gb
>>345084931
To quote a previous anon.
"You should always buy the card from the manufacturer that offers the best customer support.
Nowadays build-wise the quality of the cards across the various manufacturers is very similar, this is why they advertise how higher their clocks are and the fact they've got RGB leds to differentiate themselves.
So, you want to buy a card from a company that in case it breaks, will stand behind its product and help you get it replaced ASAP.
This is why you should go EVGA, if you can't get EVGA, buy MSI. While nowhere near as good as EVGA, MSI support is nowhere near as shit tier as the one from Gigabyte and Asus.
Speaking of those two companies, get their cards only if you are buying them from Amazon or another retailer that has amazon level customer support.
The only way gigabyte and asus will stand behind you if the card fails, is to fuck you up the ass not to help you."
>>345083282
>970
Wait for the 8-pin rx 480
>>345082167
You screwed up OP. The Red LEDs are the ones you want. They make it go faster at the price of temperature, but you make that up by the fact that they're fans.
>>345085271
yeah I'm just gonna wait for the 1060 instead
>>345084807
>400+$
nah friendo
>>345085635
yah friendo
>>345083282
R9 390/490, GTX 1070 for GPU. Replace the case with an NZXT S340, replace the PSU with a SeaSonic G/M12II series, or an EVGA G2/P2. Drop Windows 10, wtf nigger. Drop the external HDD. Drop the GAYMAN LE XD keyboard, just buy a fucking mechanical later.
>>345085670
I'll think about it but I can't justify the price
what is vram anyway? im a dumbass
>>345082167
that's pretty ok price for the prebuilt, 'merrikans will go all like ''HURR DUERR U CAN PAID 400$ FOR THAT IF U PIK PARTS URSELF''
And no, no you cant, not in europe
>>345085915
Basically, the more vRAM a card has, the more complex textures or 3D meshes it can load. The higher the resolution of the image you’re attempting to render, the more vRAM required. If the texture and images you’re attempting to run overload your GPU’s vRAM, the overflow goes to system RAM, significantly impacting performance in a negative way.
>>345086007
thanks anon, still not convinced though. I saw some leaked benchmarks of the GTX 1060 and for half of the price of the 1070 it pulled some good results.
>>345085670
You don't think that fan curve is a little overkill? 80% at less than 60C?
>>345082167

Enjoy your house fire Klaus.
>>345083065
Intel doesn't have any good cheap CPUs. AMD rules the "$150 or less" CPU market.
>>345086567
You are now realizing that a i3 6100 will outperform a FX-8350 in most games.
>>345083282
Please buy an SSD anon
>>345085271
>Slower
>>345082167
Needs more LEDs
>>345087164
Neck and neck in DX11, and pulls ahead in DX12/Vulkan
Plus, the consideration that AMD cards get pretty decent performance creep through the lifetime of the card, while Nvidia doesn't really optimize much outside the current generation.
>>345086767
>cpus matter for gaming
>>345087284
>Neck and neck in DX11, and pulls ahead in DX12/Vulkan
It isn't a month ago and that's been proven to not even be remotely true
Except for the shitty Vulkan part, but whats to be expected from an AMD made shit API like mantle
Keep dreaming it will take off
>>345087409
Have you been under a rock lately?
Especially with AMD cards, driver overhead is a thing.
Not to mention that AAA titles are starting to actually use the CPU these days.
>>345087467
You cannot possibly recommend a 970 over a 480 in good faith. To do so is blind fanboyism that ignores all past results.
>>345082167
>amd cpu
This is one of the few memes that are actually true. I had an 8350 over clocked and its night and day from my i7 4790k.
>>345086767
only in older games that still rely on single core performance. Modern games don't.
Also Intel blocks overclocking on low end processors. AMD FX chips overclock nicely even for $100
>>345087540
>You cannot possibly recommend a 970 over a 480 in good faith.
I'm not recommending anything, but it is a superior card
And if you want blind fanboyism we could discuss shitty drivers, throttling, heat issues and that whole burning out motherboards thing
>>345087720
>AMD FX chips overclock nicely even for $100
Too bad an overclocked top tier AMD cpu is still shit compared to a low end stock Intel CPU
>>345087794
>shitty drivers
meme
>throttling
>heat issues
only the reference card
>burning out motherboards
it never actually burned motherboards and they fixed the power draw with a driver update
Custom 480 will clock much higher than the stock version. This has been confirmed by multiple leaks and multiple tests that put a good cooler on the reference cards.
Zen release when? I'm tired of waiting.
>>345088094
>This has been confirmed by multiple leaks and multiple tests
Like those leaks that confirmed the 480 was superior to a 980 and within range of a 1070?
Ill bet
>>345087409
>cpus don't matter for gaming
Enjoy your stuttering, bottlenecked mess. Stick to consoles, kid.
>>345088528
But it IS better than a 970 and easily on par with a 1070.
>>345088751
>>345088528
those rumors were based on the custom versions, which will have stock clocks in the range of 1350-1400Mhz and OC to 1500-1600Mhz. This puts them well past the 980 and in Fury, Fury X or 980ti territory.
>>345089157
Yeah, because AMD relying brute force has worked so well for them in the past.
>>345089157
>>345082167

You can definitely do way better than this you retarded nig nog
