| 1800$ budget build help for future proof gaming at 1080p 60fps Posted: 14 Apr 2018 07:35 AM PDT Use of system: Mainly future proof gaming @ 1080p 60Hz(not more) at max settings, that's why it might look like an overkill for that resolution and refresh rate LINK FOR PARTS: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/j2y8MZ Maximum budget: 1800$ Country: US CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core $346.89 -Best CPU for gaming afaik Cooler: Cooler Master - MasterLiquid ML240L RGB 66.7 CFM $59.99 -Liquid over Air cooling mainly for the space and aesthetics M/B: Asus - Prime Z370-P ATX LGA1151 $139.89 -Seems good enough, not entirely sure, has 2 M.2 ports, I plan on putting an extra M.2 SSD in the future RAM: G.Skill - Ripjaws V 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3200 14 CAS $205.89 -What's the difference between the Trident? I hope the 14 CAS is more futureproof than 16 CAS SSD: Samsung - 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 $119.99 -The big improvements over the conventional SSD is only in sequential speeds, but I'm ok with that GPU: EVGA - GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ACX 3.0 $604.98 -Something around that price, perhaps I'll wait for new GPU announcements Case: NZXT - S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower $62.99 -Not yet sure, side window is blurry I hear PSU: SeaSonic-FOCUS Plus Platinum 750W 80+ Fully-Modular $111.64 -Is a top tier brand, right? cheap platinum, sounds good Monitor: Acer - G247HYL bmidx 23.8" 1920x1080 60Hz $119.99 -Around 23-25 inches with that resolution and refresh rate not sure which brand/model is the best in the 90-130 price range [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Are these sleeved cable extensions trustworthy? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:13 PM PDT I was looking around for some cheap sleeved cable extensions for my 24 pin, 6+2 pin and 8 pin CPU cables and found these: I was wondering if these are trustworthy extensions, since they look really nice and don't break the bank. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:43 PM PDT Brought a new Zotac 1060 3gb for my girlfriends rig, nothing special, but it does the job. Is it normal to experience major coil whine when putting the gpu on load? It's only a couple weeks old and has done so since it came out the box. It's fine when idling, but whenever we game it's quite annoying. She doesn't really hear it, but it's the right pitch that travels right through me. Is this an acceptable reason to RMA the card? Will they even accept an RMA? Tell me, ol' wise ones. What do? (Thanks!) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2700x or 8700k for gaming + plex streaming Posted: 14 Apr 2018 12:55 PM PDT Hey guys, Using my gaming PC as both a gaming PC and a media server. My GF watches plex a lot so we stream content from my PC to our TVs. With my 4690k, I can't really game if she's watching something because they're both fairly PC intensive. Will be gaming at 1080p @240hz or 3440x1440 @75hz depending if it's FPS or RPG. Will also be streaming 1080p when gaming on the 240hz monitor. Not sure which is the best option for my situation and hoping you guys can help out! EDIT: Forgot to mention, I'll be pairing the new CPU with a Vega 64.

| Help a colour blind brother out with a build? :) Posted: 14 Apr 2018 08:46 AM PDT I've got a budget of £2500 and i already own:
So i'm basically after CPU, Motherboard, RAM, GPU, m.2 drive and Cablemod sleeved cables. Now sounds nuts but im fanatical about making my build look good and making colours match (which is difficult because i suffer from Achromatopsia, which is complete colour blindess.) Was looking at Asus ROG stuff as that seems to carry Grey colour parts but not sure which colour cables to match and also LED or RGB colours in general. Pure gaming rig with alot of OBS streaming involved. Thanks EDIT: sorry should add in i'm UK based i'm playing in 1080p 144hz at the moment but will be buying one of those 4k high refresh monitors when they finally release.

| Cracked my processor open and lowered the temp by about 25 degrees. Posted: 13 Apr 2018 11:43 PM PDT I was running my 7700k at 4.9ghz and couldn't really get the thing to stick below 90 degrees, I tweaked some voltages and settled on the fact that 90 would be okay. Well, it was bugging me and my computer kept crapping out. So, I decided to spend the money to replace the thermal paste. Now my computer sits at about 40-50 ambient, and barely touches 80 when there is a heavy load. I was also able to set the clock to 5.0ghz and it has been running super smooth / cool since then. If anyone is interested - here is a timelapse of the process of taking computer apart, putting it back together in a new shell. Skip to the end for the first boot.

| Banging my head against the wall with SLI Posted: 14 Apr 2018 02:13 PM PDT I've been trying to extend the life of my PC with a second 980, and it hasn't worked very well. I can't run any game for longer than an hour or two without it crashing and sometimes I have full system crashes. I've run benchmarks that tell me I'm fine and have a great computer. I've talked to the guys at EVGA who have looked at the benchmarks and model of my cards with no luck. I am using a standard ribbon SLI bridge which could be it? OR maybe my PSU is just tapped out in terms of power? I need some help, my dudes. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Are GPU prices finally coming down? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 08:41 AM PDT I did a quick search on Amazon and saw what I thought were relatively cheap prices on RX580 at $499 is that cheap. And there were a bunch of them available and new to boot so are prices stabilizing and availability getting better. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Anyone else constantly feel the urge to upgrade your PC? Posted: 13 Apr 2018 04:51 PM PDT My build runs a GTX1070 and i7 6700k but I often want to get a new processor even though mine works absolutely fine and I have no issues with it. I don't know what it is, the fun of taking everything apart or noticing the difference in performance but I almost feel obligated to upgrade. Does anyone else share this feeling?

| Is my Samsung M.2 850 EVO 500gb running slow because its almost full? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:09 PM PDT Ran a userbenchmark test, here are the results : http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/8298543 Everything looked good besides the SSD, which is really low for some reason. Im assuming because I almost have no space left correct? Is there anything else wrong with any of my other components? Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| How to "press DEL or F2 to enter setup" without PS/2 port? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 04:55 AM PDT So i'm stuck at press del or F2 to enter setup, but my USB keyboard is not being recognised so i cannot get into the BIOS. My motherboard is NZXT N7.

| Multi-Use Monitor Advice Needed - Work/PC/PS4 Posted: 14 Apr 2018 12:41 PM PDT Hey guys, we are expecting a kid in a few months and I'm losing my dedicated gaming space, so I will be condensing all of my peripherals into one desk and need some advice on a monitor. Currently have a HP Pavilion 27xw (1920x1080, 60 Hz, 7ms) that I use as a second monitor for work, which has been quite nice. However, I'm looking for something a bit nicer to pair with the PC I just built (i7 7700, 1080). In all, I will be using it primarily for work, but also PC, PS4, and some retropie gaming. The PS4 Pro can handle 4k (maybe) but my research indicates I should try and focus more on 1080p at higher fps with my build with regards to monitor choice. There are so many different monitor options out there and I want to be sure I don't end up buying something incompatible or that is complete overkill for my intended use. Aiming for 27-32" in size for the work aspects, and budget isn't a huge concern, but I don't want to overspend if I don't have to. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

| Where are the standoff screws in tjr NZXT S340? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:15 PM PDT I've placed the motherboard into the case, I just can't find the screws to secure it. also sorry for the typo lmao [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 02:08 PM PDT Build Upgrade:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes! What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Exclusively gaming, with browsing / office editing being a distant second. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) My current setup and monitor is 1080p 60hz, however in the future I would like to be able to upgrade my GPU/Monitor to allow for 2k 144hz gameplay (I would buy a combo of g-sync/freesync depending on the new card). The budget in this upgrade is to bring my 2012 build up to date with my current GPU (1060 6GB which I purchased last year as a preliminary upgrade). I'm calling this an upgrade even though I'm going to be replacing just about everything except the GPU/SSD... What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? $800 (Does not include a GPU/Monitor upgrade down the road - this is just for the other components) In what country are you purchasing your parts? The United States Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). Consider formatting your parts list. Don't ask to be spoonfed a build (read the rules!). CURRENT BUILD PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant PROPOSED BUILD PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Provide any additional details you wish below. Let me know if this upgrade seems better suited to just wait for when I'm ready to buy the GPU/Monitor if I won't get any mileage out of the upgrades noted above in the near term. I also realize the new Ryzen are about to drop in the next few weeks which would change the CPU. Thank again helpful /r/buildapc community!

| Blue Screen when Setting RAM Profile Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:14 PM PDT Troubleshooting Help: Issues when setting ram to rated speed of 3200 mhz**What is your parts list?
Describe your problem. List any error messages and symptoms. Be descriptive. In BIOS I set my Ram up using the supplied profile for it to run at 3200 mhz. After I started using this profile I keep getting blue screens and requests to run windows memory test. List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem. Ran windows memory test and it says there are hardware issues. Once I disable the profile and return the ram to running at 2133 mhz the PC boots to windows correctly.

| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:00 PM PDT What is your intended use for this build? 1080p Gaming, 60fps at the start but hopefully 144hz at a later date. I do some 3D modelling renders as well as Unreal Engine work but don't need anything overkill for this (mainly focusing on gaming for this build and I have no clue whats g ood in terms of combinations. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? 1920x1080, 144hz at ultra or high settings What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? £1000 - £1300 (1300$ - 1700$ I think?) In what country are you purchasing your parts? UK - not sure what the gpu prices are like here with the crypto situation compared to how the were. Post a draft of your potential build here (specific parts please). ATM I was looking at a 1070ti for the GPU, my main question being what CPU to pair it with, but if you have any reccomendations for RAM, Motherboards etc. that would be appreciated. I put together a partpicker list but I have little knowledge on what's good - https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/kfxV7W Provide any additional details you wish below. I don't know too much about specific parts, I've been watching a lot of LTT to help me but I am nervous about buying parts without help from a redditor that knows what they're talking about, also I would like the PC to run pretty quietly are there certain fans and things I need as my prebuilt I currently have is very loud!

| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 09:28 AM PDT Hi, I'm 17 and recently decided to get into pc gaming. I picked up someone's previous custom rig for a great price but it didn't include the graphics card. I'm looking to run about 100 FPS at 1440p on games like Fortnite, PUBG, H1Z1, Far Cry 5, BF1. Here's my build just for reference: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/verdxctt/saved/zLX6XL Looking to buy something used $450 absolute max.

| Pc working but not connecting to monitor. Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:43 PM PDT So I just bought a pc for my little brother and I hooked everything up and when I turn it on, the monitor light flashes and it doesn't display anything. Are there currently any solutions for this problem? Also I tried with another monitor and changed the outlet of the monitor. I also have 2 cables to hook up the monitor and tried both of them and still same. Please send help [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Should i get a ryzen 3 1300x or 2200G with 1050ti? Posted: 14 Apr 2018 01:10 PM PDT im looking to build my pc but dont know what cpu to go with :P [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 14 Apr 2018 11:34 AM PDT A few weeks ago one of my budget builds I sold on a local Facebook Marketplace group got some traction here when OP asked about whether or not it was worth it. I had about 20 of you PM me asking me to build one around the same price point with new parts. I present to you the results below for $380 worth of parts (photo album here):
Note: I could not find all the exact parts on PCPartPicker. So these are just some rough ideas to point you in the right direction. Please note that OC results may vary of course, but this build works great for Civ, Overwatch, CS:Go, PUBG, Fortnite and even can handle Far Cry 5 which shocked me. So its basically great for new AAA titles for 2017-2019 on low-medium, eSports on Med-High and older titles of course. Be sure to keep an eye open on /r/buildapcsales and your local tech shops for deals. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
