| Are gaming chairs worth it or are they gimmicky? Posted: 30 Sep 2018 02:20 AM PDT It seems like the common opinion is that chairs like dxracer are comfortable but don't last long. I've been playing video games in a dining chair and my back starts to have minor pain if I sit for long sessions (I know a dining chair is horrible). I now have money to go all out and buy a great chair. Are racing chairs worth and it good for my back? There are also a ton of people who claim office chairs for lower price will be the same quality. I've been looking at the Dxracer formula series (I'm 5'4" and 140lbs). Are they worth the price or no? I don't want to end up with a ripped chair in a few months and unable to get a replacement due to warranty only covering the frame. Edit: forgot to mention I sit legs crossed all the time, literally all the time. I'm also looking for chairs that I can do that and armrests won't be in the way. Edit: A lot of people are recommending Herman Miller and Steelcase. Those do look very comfortable but the prices are like 3 dxracers. I'm a broke college kid and $300 is my max price. Any suggestions at $300 or less? Some steel cases are $400 but that's still too much regardless if it's worth the extra money, money I don't have.

| Posted: 30 Sep 2018 09:48 AM PDT 8 years ago I was 20 years old. I would drool over the builds I saw in this sub and always draw up my dream build on Newegg, never to pull the trigger. I am financially conservative (any /r/financialindependence people here?) and for the longest time I never really had the disposable income to justify a gaming build of any kind. I had my laptop for work and I would always make due. Fast forward to today - I am now finally making good money in software engineering with plenty of money saved, and I am finally ready to go all-out and splurge on The Totally Unnecessarily Powerful Gaming Build Of My Dreams™. I have deprived myself of good PC gaming experiences for so long (laptop gaming, GeForce NOW, etc), so I want to really treat myself with this build considering I pretty much never buy myself anything nice. I want top (or near top) of the line components in this bad-boy, even if it's overkill. I will admit that life has happened and therefore I am not as up-to-date on hardware these days, so I'd like to get the expert opinions of you all. Any incompatibilities here? Will the liquid CPU cooler work with the case I've chosen? Will the GPU fit alright? All feedback is appreciated. Thanks in advance, you're all awesome. Main concerns:

| With your help I’ve built my first PC! Posted: 30 Sep 2018 04:50 AM PDT I've not posted much here if any at all but just being able to go through all the different threads, reading what everyone has said, and great articles linked has allowed me to piece this thing together. Thank you for all of your outlooks, opinions, and banter. Without them this build would have never taken place. Also want to shout out to /r/buildapcsales to for allowing me to come in under budget! Edit: Specs included CPU: Intel i5 8600k / Mobo: Asus Prime Z370 A / GPU: EVGA 1080 FTW2 / Cooler: Corsair H110i / PSU: EVGA 650 G3 80+ Gold / Ram: 4x4gb Hyper X 2400 cl15 / SSD: Crucial MX 500gb / HDD: Seagate Firecuda 2TB / Case: Fractal Meshify C [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| [Build Complete] First PC Built! GeForce 1080 Ti + Ryzen 2700x Posted: 30 Sep 2018 11:53 AM PDT I finally built my first PC and wanted to share its specifications, performance, build remarks, and answer any questions you guys might have. My budget was up to $2000 to build a computer primarily for video editing and gaming. I wanted to build a PC to optimize value and to get a better understanding of how the physical parts come together. After about two weeks of looking online for parts and their prices, I ordered them after seeing a CPU and MOBO sale at my local Micro Center (Online). Fortunately, I had no major issues assembling and powering up my computer. Overall, it was truly an eye-opening experience to see how all the parts fit together and gave me a lot more confidence and control when working with computers, e.g. CPU and GPU temperatures, fan direction, accessibility to upgrade and replace parts. Picture: https://imgur.com/a/cPtHRSM Specifications PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant *I bought the graphics card on Ebay, used, for $530 *I bought the CPU and Motherboard together for $400 at my local Micro Center Performance (No overclocking) Here is a benchmark of my computer from userbenchmark.com http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11161089 --> updated benchmark after overclocking RAM to 3200 MHz http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11177258) Experience and Tips
Minor Issues
Fortunately, a smooth, straightforward, and awesome experience building my first PC. I am in love with it and am grateful for the confidence and knowledge I have gained. Thanks for taking the time to read this post and please let me know if you guys have any questions! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The PC I'm Considering to build Posted: 30 Sep 2018 01:29 PM PDT Hi I'm new to PC building and considering to build the following parts. I'm trying to aim for a budget build that will allow me to animate, edit videos, and play some games. With the parts I have listed, will this build somewhat help me with what I want to do? (I do not yet have a GPU in this build, I plan to use the APU provided by the Ryzen CPU and possibly overclock it. I do plan to buy a GPU later down the road.) Thank you very much for your support!

| Posted: 30 Sep 2018 01:38 PM PDT Going to build my first gaming pc with a 1080 amd a i5 8600k, the 1080 will be able to keep my fps around 100fps on my prefered graphics settings wich is good for 75hz but will start tearing for 144hz, wich means that i will have to buy a g-sync monitor wich i think is not worth the price but is 75hz really enough for high paced, online, multiplayer, gaming?

| [Build ready] €2500 first build, almost ready to buy Posted: 30 Sep 2018 12:28 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yup! What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Gaming, maybe some machine learning work. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1440p 144Hz. I want to get 144+ fps in games like Fortnite, and good fps in games like Ark: SE and WoW. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? Around 2500 including a monitor, a bit more is okay. In what country are you purchasing your parts? The Netherlands. Most prices where found using tweakers.net 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!). PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Provide any additional details you wish below. I'm planning on buying parts this week. I made a post yesterday where I got some advice which I incorporated into my build, and now I want to double check everything is compatible and I'm getting the most value for my money. Things I'm unsure of: does everything fit on the motherboard? Is the 650w PSU good enough? Are the two Corsair ML120 fans okay? And how is the wireless adapter I added? I won't have a wired connection for a while so a decent wireless adapter is required. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Have a five year old SSD but just purchased an 860 Evo. What are the differences? Posted: 30 Sep 2018 01:33 PM PDT Per the title, I just picked up a 500GB Samsung 860 Evo as I got my old SSD back in 2013 (link). Besides the jump in space, what differences could I expect to notice between the two? Comparing performance numbers doesn't seem like anything too wild, but given what a booming industry SSDs are has me thinking the benefits aren't as simple as it just being "faster". thanks for any help :~) [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Will an SSD decrease stutters? Posted: 30 Sep 2018 07:04 AM PDT I currently have a build with an Xeon X3440 (3.8 GHz OC), 8 GB of DDR3 and an R9 290x. My storage is an 7200 Rpm 500 GB HGST Hardrive. I mainly play CSGO at 1080p and have an average of about 200 FPS. But when I enter a game I seem to have alot of stutters at the beginning and a few later in the game. Could an SSD fix this, because it seems to me that the stutters occur when something hasn't loaded properly yet or so. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Sep 2018 06:02 AM PDT Recently, I've been considering buying a mid-range iMac Pro in Australia, the prices used to be "reasonable", however for some reason they have absolutely skyrocketed ($12,100 for this build's rough equivalent). So I put together a list for a mid-range iMac Pro killer and was after an overlook on the final build. I've built computers in the past and know enough to get the job done, however I am not as knowledgeable as other people on here, so I am after peoples opinion on the build and whether there is something potentially wrong with it or somewhere I can improve it. It's intended to be used the same way as the iMac Pro: 4k video editing, VFX, and Photo Editing. Base MAC Pros begin at $4899 AUD Base iMAC Pros begin at $7300 AUD Thanks.

| Feedback appreciated on new build Posted: 30 Sep 2018 02:33 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yup What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Primarily gaming but likely some simulation and solidworks work. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Was planning on a 1440 monitor. Not too obsessed with the framerate as long as it's decent and more importantly consistent. I'd like to play current games on about max settings. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? <$1500 preferably In what country are you purchasing your parts? USA 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!).

Provide any additional details you wish below. Really just looking for feedback, please let me know if I've done something dumb. My current build is an Athlon II and a 770 which I built in high school and threw a new card in later so I've been out of the game for a while. I'm not really sure what cards can run what on what monitors. Trying to avoid serious bottlenecks. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| P.C for video editing, computer science and animation Posted: 30 Sep 2018 12:55 PM PDT Assisting my brother with building a PC for his interests and future schooling, but I don't really have the current knowledge to make it happen.

| Quick check over before I pull the trigger Posted: 30 Sep 2018 02:29 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Replace this text with your answer. What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Playing League of Legends, Insurgency Sandstorm, Forza Horizon 4, etc. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Will be ordering a acer predator xb271hu in the near future, so 1440p 144hz on most games. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? ~$2300 In what country are you purchasing your parts? USA PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
PRICE DOES INCLUDE TAX JUST FOR MY SAKE OF FIGURING OUT TOTAL PRICE. Right now I'm just trying to figure out if I should go for the 1080ti or 2080 just because they're about the same price. Also, what would be some no too expensive fans for the 6 fan spots I need to fill? Heard good things about Silent Wings 2/3, looking more at the silent wings 2 because they're $10 less than the 3's.

| Should I get a GTX 1060 or 1070 for 1080p gaming? Posted: 30 Sep 2018 12:38 PM PDT So on friday I finally built my first PC after eagerly waiting for 3 years to get one. I bought everything but the graphics card because I plan buying them on black friday once the gpu prices (hopefully) go down because of the new 20's gpus. My question is if I should buy either a 1060 or 1070 if I plan on gaming at 1080p, I'd like to be able to play on ultra or the higgest settings possible on my 144hz monitor. On a side note, would a i3 8100 bottleneck a 1070? I read somewhere that it won't bottleneck a 1060 but I'm not sure about a 1070. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I'm building very soon an amateur music-production oriented PC for which I'd like to spend more or less 1000€, screen included (I already have an audio interface), and I'd like to make an educated choice for my CPU.
