| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 10:19 AM PDT First off; Thank you. I would not have been able to complete this if it weren't for the help of you guys and gals. I wanted to share my results with you all, since /r/buildapc has been such a huge help to me in this build. About 6 months ago I could not tell you what a CPU or GPU even stood for. After a ridiculous amount of research and thread reading and countless notes (yeah, nerd. lol) in my notebook comparing and contrasting every single aspect of each component, and then comparing every single product out there for said component, I came to a complete list. A huge should out to /r/buildapcsales as well, as I ended up buying every single item I purchased from posts over there, (except one pre-owned part from /r/hardwareswap). I do feel like despite spending a decent chunk of change, that overall my computer is amazing and I spent way less then I would have had I purchased it in a store. I could have saved maybe another $130 if I sacrificed aesthetics, but I wanted a fully functioning computer that would give me a chubby at the slightest glance from across the room. (Mission Accomplished). PICTURES and also PC Part Picker link ($2,188) If you guys like the post, please upvote, or if you don't like it, please downvote and let me know what I can improve on in the comments :) Any comments or feedback is also greatly appreciated!

| Posted: 23 Sep 2018 08:27 PM PDT Was cleaning my r9 280x and installing new thermal paste and figured he'd look nice in the reflection of the GPU. It turned out pretty nice :) [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why does increasing resolution lower CPU load? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 12:02 PM PDT So it's commonly known that in 1080p the processor serves more as the bottleneck but as you scale to higher resolutions the GPU takes more of the load and becomes more of the bottleneck. My question is, why exactly is this the case? What makes the CPU more engaged in 1080p than 1440p? I'm debating upping from 1080p to 1440p and was just curious. I find my 1080 only at about 40% utilization whiling playing 1080p games. I find my frames are lower than I think they should be with a 1080. I find Overwatch only running at around 180fps and fortnite only around 144. This not max settings either. Would upping the settings actually force my GPU to take more of the load? My frames are almost identicle to what my old Rx 580 got. Is my R7-1700 holding my GPU back? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Do lights in your PC take up a lot of power? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:04 PM PDT After I built my PC my parents noticed that even when it is off, the lights of my motherboard still keep shining their nice breathing effect. It doesn't stop me from sleeping but at the same time, I wonder, do those lights take a lot of power? And is it worth to save some of your bills as unplugging power cables doesn't sound like a good thing either. What are your thoughts about this?

| Need help choosing motherboard for 2600/2600x. Posted: 24 Sep 2018 02:59 PM PDT Hello everyone! I am trying to decide between either the ASUS Prime X470 Pro and the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon. I will be getting either the 2600 (will overclock) or 2600x (let it auto-clock, but may manual as well). Which motherboard should I go with? When Zen 2 comes out I will be deciding whether to upgrade to that, or switch to intel depending on performance. If that info makes any difference.

| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 12:11 PM PDT Intel i5 was sold out on Amazon and i didnt want to pay 70 over retail. So i snatched up the Ryzen 5 2600 for 170. Will I regret this decision? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 07:33 AM PDT Just wondering what it would cost to build the iMac pro as a PC since it retails at an insane $14,000 Specs: 2.3 GHz 18 core Xeon with turbo boost up to 4.3 GHz 128 gb memory 4tb SSD [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Do you think 8GB Ram is enough? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:48 PM PDT I've been doing some research on the topic and people seem to be split. Just wondering what was recommended by this sub for somebody who plans to play games and have things like discord and YouTube open at the same time.

| Finished my first build in 6 years! Please help me make it quieter... Posted: 24 Sep 2018 02:54 PM PDT First of all, hi! Specs: I know the Fractal case is pretty difficult to keep cool and airflow-y but I love the look and had a Define R4 for my previous build. I have two Fractal GP-12 fans inside my case, one intake and one exhaust. My priority is to keep my system nice, cool and quiet. I know this sounds like a lot but I would appreciate any help. Thank you and have a great day! [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What’s a mistake/or mistakes you made while building your first pc? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 04:58 PM PDT This could be a helpful post for first timers to read through to make sure they don't make the same mistakes. My mistake was buying DDR4 ram with a motherboard that took DDR3 :( [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 11:46 AM PDT Hi! I have a 8700k 4.9ghz and a 1060 6gb non oc with 16gb ddr4 2333hz would I be able to stream with my GPU in overwatch? 720p60fps? Would it be to laggy for the viewer [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 07:52 AM PDT I'm looking for a gaming computer and I've come up with this. I'd like to keep it under 800 initially. I also want to consider that more money can be put in later by my kid. For example the 8GB ram choice is because they could buy more ram in a month as long as the Mobo supports 4 slots. Storage is not needed as that's the only part that their existing pc has decent. Edit: Prices are all relative. I intend to buy everything from Microcenter. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Cy9zHh [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 04:27 PM PDT PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant First timer here! Will this be able to play skyrim at a moderate to high level, league of legends at 60 fps, and minecraft possibly with shaders? My budget is around 1000. Suggestions are welcome!

| Is my CPU a bottle neck (i5-4460 with GTX 1060 6Gb)? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 08:50 AM PDT Hey all, Essentially what the title says... Trying to understand if I have a bottleneck here. While playing games I see my CPU sitting at 99%. I also see my memory sitting pretty high with chrome open at like 80+% consistently too (currently have 8Gb of RAM). Do I have a bottleneck here? Time to update my CPU? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 04:14 PM PDT He will be using this for gaming at 1080p 60 fps, maxed out settings. No video editing or anything RAM heavy, and may want to add another monitor in the future. I think this build is good, but just want to double check with the masterminds over here :) Max budget of $1200 including monitor, went $5 over but that's not a big deal.

| Will the 10 series run out soon? Posted: 24 Sep 2018 04:13 PM PDT I plan on getting a 1070 for my build, but I've only saved up for the GPU. Will the 10 series stock run out soon? Or should I wait until I can buy all of the parts? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Finally got an SSD for the first time, need some help Posted: 24 Sep 2018 10:07 AM PDT I finally got my first SSD! I'm excited, but also a bit concerned. I have a lot of files I want to keep on my HDD, but I've heard that copying the files and moving it all to the SSD is a problem for some reason. I want to move windows 10 to the SSD, and I can always reinstall games, but I want the files I have (school stuff, photos, etc.) to stay on the HDD. How do I go about this?

I'll use the PC almost exclusively to play video games (Battlefield, No Man's Sky, etc). I hope to potentially add VR in some form as well. Thoughts? Critique? Advice? [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 24 Sep 2018 01:45 PM PDT So, I currently have 8gb of ram (2x4gb) in my computer. Im wondering if it's possible for me to add another 2x4gb kit to make it 16gb? Or do I have to buy a 2x8gb kit? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [Build Help] Case I've wanted for a long time isn't sold anymore.. Posted: 24 Sep 2018 03:27 PM PDT I helped a friend build a PC and found a great case, the DIYPC Gamestorm-W. I loved working with it, loved the look, tons of room inside, and the price was great! I'm just starting to find parts to upgrade my PC and have had my eye on this case since. Unfortunately, it is not sold anymore... What can I do? It's not on Amazon, Newegg, Ebay, nothing. Should I give up and move on? Can anyone recommend a similar case? I'm bummed :/ [link] [comments]  |
