Aurora posted:i've already put together my current pc years ago but i just want someone else to do the work There some pre-built ones linked on Slickdeals that people priced out to be cheaper than the individual parts. I'm in a similar boat, older you get, less time you have to deal with it not working.

PirateBob posted:What is the actual difference between 1660 and 2060/70/80? Both "generations" seem to get recommendations... From my limited knowledge, Raytracing and better 4k support. Most monitors are 1440 though.

Stickman posted:The structural difference is that the 16XX series lacks raytracing support, but the 20XX cards are also more powerful. Here's the rough relative performance for 10XX, 16XX, and 20XX cards over the 1060 6GB Sweet looks like a normal GTX 1660 is right for me. Now to find some DEALS DEALS DEALS.

Stickman posted:I'd also check out the Super and Ti models of the cards you look at - if they're not much more expensive they're a decent performance boost. Thom P. Tiers posted:Seconding this Stickman suggestion. The 1660Ti is a solid upgrade if you can find it for not much more than the regular 1660. Looks like there is a deal for the 1660 for $185 (MIR) and the Ti's go for around $260.

ItBreathes posted:The Super has basically supplanted the TI. At the same price I'd say grab the TI but the Super is really the one you should be looking at. That said, a 1660 for sub-$200 is pretty dang good. Its out of stock but hoping it comes back before the MIR expires (end of week). https://www.newegg.com/msi-geforce-gtx-1660-gtx-1660-ventus-xs-6g-oc/p/N82E16814137400 DEALS DEALS DEALS

I'm building a server (not enterprise quality) to run kubernetes, redis, nodejs, and rails. Traffic will be light, this will be mostly for development and a few users worth of traffic. This is just to hold us over until we move to GCP and pay for some sweet sweet cloud hosting. tl;dr: at home server, low traffic, kubernetes, redis, nodejs express, ruby on rails, and postgres! need help on mobo + case, have storage already! No need for video card, will just ssh into box. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X 3.7 GHz 8-Core Processor ($159.00 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($119.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: EVGA BT 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($54.98 @ SuperBiiz) Total: $333.97

Scruff McGruff posted:I'd still probably recommend the MSI Tomahawk just because my perception of the 2700x is that it can get power hungry and some VRMs might struggle, but you'd probably be fine with something like the MSI B450-A Pro. I'd rather not get cut up, na nothing crazy in the case department. Simple, small, easy to work with. I have a Meshify C for my normal use computer and it was very easy to work with.

KillHour posted:If this isn't going into a living area where it needs to be quiet, 2 generation old servers are really drat cheap on eBay and are much less likely to decide they need to reboot RIGHT NOW. It will be in the bedroom (small apartment) so it will need to be moderately quiet.

I want to upgrade my case/mobo/cpu. I was thinking the AMD Ryzen 3600 (for maximum price/performance). I had this case picked out, its gone now . Case: Phanteks PH-ES614PC_BK ATX Full Tower Case Is there something similar that preferably already comes with fans installed. On the motherboard front I need something with 2 m2 slots (running linux + windows on separated ssds) and a usb-c connection on the front panel. With all my parts i'm trying to the price/performance ratio but I'm okay spending more if its recommended.

Klyith posted:Did you want the mondo-huge case because you have use for all the 5.25" drive bays? The corsair 750D airflow seems like the same idea, but it's only at amazon where shipping will be a month. Otherwise there's the bequiet 900 with 2 5.25 bays, but that's a lot more money. Yea I guess I don't need a huge case and won't have anything in there besides a gfx card + 2 m2 drives. My current case was just really small for my gfx card. I got one of the cases smaller than a mATX. quote:If you need a USB-C front panel connector, shouldn't you be looking at a case with USB-C? I thought the mobos come with a front panel if they have crazy connectors, guess that will narrow the cases I can buy. 5436 fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Mar 27, 2020 |

Stickman posted:Honestly, I'd just get a Meshify C and a usb-c hub. You can count the number of ATX cases with front usb-c ports on one hand - under $200 you're pretty much limited to an NZXT H510, Lian-Li O11 Dynamic, Eclipse 600S, or Fractal Design R6 / S2 / Meshify S2. Good thinking, I'll just get a usb-c front panel.

Stickman posted:Unfortunately, the Meshify C (and most smaller cases) don't have front panels any more. You'd need to pick a case with ODD bays. A usb-c hub or extension cable affixed to your desk or the top of the computer with velcro or magnets would have the same functionality, though! Times are a changing, guess i gotta say gently caress it to usb-c.

Hey guys, my friend needs a rig for data science/ML. He wants an nvidia card for CUDA/Tensorflow stuff. His budget is $1,000, a little higher if there is value. Really looking for the performance/price sweet spot. It's been about a year since I built mine, if anyone has a build they've done that would be really helpful!

Alucard posted:Dunno what kind of power he's hoping to get but here's a quick example of the poison in the rear end it is to get CUDA cores generally. I suspect even the data science GPUs are getting bought up by scalpers/miners as well... Looks like it's gonna be a mac mini m1
