sean10mm posted:A 3700X would maybe be 10% faster in games at 1080p vs. a 7700K, but it would be much better at multitasking since it has twice as many cores and threads. I use 1440p, which from what I understand means I probably won't see much change in the gaming department if I pick up an AMD CPU, but it'll still help my multitasking. Obviously I want a 5600x really badly over anything in the 3000 series, but loving hell is it impossible to find one right now. I'd gladly take a 5700 or whatever is higher, but those are sold out too. Umbreon fucked around with this message at 03:07 on Nov 17, 2020 |

Hey folks, my i5 4690 and GTX 970 are starting to feel old so I think it is time to build something new. I'm in the USA and can drive to a microcenter. I'm gonna be playing video games, specifically I'm gonna finally finish the GTA5 campaign on a frame rate higher than 40 with literally every setting turned down to lowest. My budget is around $1500 but somewhat flexible pending arguments for better value. Keeping monitors outside of this budget. I am unprofessional. For now this is getting plugged in to 1080p/144hz, I do eventually wanna look in to a 1440p/144hz monitor but there's a weird compromise space where if you want refresh rate and resolution and the correct panel type monitors jump from 200 to 500, anyway that's a different thread. I'm hoping to get games that are already out to run at 90+ fps at 1080p on medum-high or so without really dipping below, hopefully at least that.

($500+ @ Anywhere) With a keyboard, a mouse and a windows license that pretty much puts me around the budget. I understand I should be buying the 10600k if I'm gonna be doing overclocking, I'm definitely not going to be overclocking, stock the performance jump seems to be less than 10% and the price jump from $180 to $250 is way more than 10%, am I a fool? Do I even need the custom heatsink at all? How are these chips with the stock heatsink/fan these days? I see folks buying Z490 boards, but I can't figure out why I would want to. If I'm running a single video card at 16x and the boot nvme/m.2 at 4x the B460 can handle that concurrently, right? Am I missing other reasons to consider the upgrade chipset? As far as I could tell it's pcie lanes and usb ports. I'm excited to be building something where no drive bays of any kind will be occupied (or even mounted in the case). Please tell me how everything here is wrong, thank you! Brut fucked around with this message at 07:30 on Nov 17, 2020 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0WOZyORmtU Seems like its similar to a 9700k, should be fine. For non overclocking that cooler is great.

I was able to get an order in for an AMD 5800X this morning, ETA of 12/2 - 12/4. I still don't have a 3080, so I may try to get my hands on the 5900X I really want in the meantime. I know for my uses there will be little difference (gaming, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop), but I'm a big dumb baby and was really looking forward to the higher end chip.

Thanks for your help everyone, I have my computer all built up now, though I am having a problem- The graphics card does not have a vga port meaning it can't be plugged into my old monitor; it isn't a massive problem for now, as I can just buy an adaptor, but while I was testing out the machine to see if it worked, a little red light popped up on the board next the words "VGA". Now I'm hoping this is because the graphics card isn't plugged into anything. Could that be the case, or is it more likely there is something wrong with the card? It seems to be powered as the fans are turning around, but perhaps it could be a pins problem? :s FreeKillB posted:Thread's moving fairly fast, just wanted to add in a note that unless I'm mistaken the Pro4 is in a tier where ASRock motherboards do not have any kind of debug LED. Looking at manuals for budget B550s, the only thing I can say definitively is that it looks like debug LEDs are present on MSI's boards (I checked it for the Pro-VDH max at least). It's not a dealbreaker (my most recent build used a comparable ASRock mobo) as long as you don't have any trouble hooking things up but I wanted to highlight that as a potential feature that could save you a significant headache if you have issues getting things to post. You are mistaken FreeKillB. New technology is amazingly useful. All these little lights telling me what I've done wrong!

Welp, I was (finally) able to score an RTX 3070 that gets delivered in a couple of weeks so it's time to start planning a new build in earnest. What country are you in? USA What are you using the system for? Primary driver for upgrade is playing MSFS; otherwise I do very light software development and nearly everything else of consequence is done in a browser. I may play a few other games on Steam occasionally but mostly older stuff because I am older stuff. What's your budget? Now that I've hopefully got the video card, I'd like to keep the rest of the system around $900, but it's not a hard ceiling if there is solid rationale. If you're gaming, what is your monitor resolution / refresh rate? I'm running a dual monitor 1080p setup that is nothing special but works for my needs and I can't see that changing in the near future. I would likely tune any settings as high as the CPU/GPU bottleneck would allow given the hardware setup. And I think (but am happy to be corrected) that if I moved to a 1440 monitor in the future this would support that. Other contextual comments: I don't have the Zen3 CPU yet but am actively on the hunt; it's safe to say I'll likely buy whatever version I can get my hands on first. Additionally, I am not into RGB and visual elements of modern case design; form and function are most important.

For a 5800X I would definitely move to a bigger cooler like a Noctua U14S. It runs hot as balls. For a 5600X any of the 120mm tower coolers would probably be plenty though. BIOS updates for Zen 3 compatiility are definitely a big deal. I just built a system a week ago and needed to flash to the latest BIOS for my 5800X. Get a board with BIOS flashback/Q Flash plus/whatever the manufacturer calls CPU-less BIOS updates. Meshify C is good, going to 2x140 or 3x120 front plus 1x120 rear is a worthwhile upgrade IMO but not absolutely critical Why are you looking at X570? Unless you need to plug up a ton of SATA+PCIE+M2 devices at once B550 is just as good as X570 and usually less money for equal features now. e: Also don't buy the P1 when the SN550 is better and basically the same price, that old P1 recommendation keeps coming up and just needs to die IMO. e2: You absolutely do not need 850W for a Zen 3 + 3070 combo. A quality 650W would heave headroom to spare. sean10mm fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Nov 17, 2020 |

Cooler info makes sense. Asus apparently has the Flashback thing but not on this particular board so I'll have to evaluate that more closely or look at the B550; I am unlikely to have more than a singe M2 device plus maybe a SATA drive for more storage but probably not even that. And thanks for the notes on the storage and PSU; I'll make a PSU choice likely based on price and availability but still within the quality range.

Asus flashing instructions in the manual of the board are generally pretty good. You can always post here if you get stuck. For your PSU once your <3 weeks from build start looking and snatch up whatever’s on sale at 650w+ That’s a decent brand/model. Set at alert or follow r/buildapcsales or something.

If you want solid 4k at max settings 3080/90 or bust is kind of it right now. If you can get one and you’re spending that much on a system, I’d probably bump to a 5600x too.

You're trying to build a PC at maybe the worst time right now as new generations of GPU and CPU have just come out which are big improvements on what came before. The 3080 should be $700-$850 (for some of the boards by other manufacturers) and the 5600x CPU ~$300. Everyone is in the same boat trying to snag the available stock every time sites update. There hasn't been an appreciable drop-off in price for the old gen components either that would make them recommendable, as it seems the Ryzen 3600 is either out of stock or jacked up in price everywhere.

Okay, final check before I click the buy button a few times. Reminder: I'm helping my 16-year-old son build his own basic gaming PC for Christmas. His main interests are Minecraft and Terraria, although I expect him to do some 3D gaming once he has his own machine. 1080p resolution. Based on the advice given here, I already bought the RGB case because, frankly, he's going to love it. Anyone see any issues?
