Posted: 28 Mar 2019 10:36 PM PDT 28 / 03 / 2019 I am not going to lie I am not as patient as everyone else who are looking forward to getting the Ryzen 3 series.

This is now my build after buying some parts today: Mobo: -------------------------------------- ASRock H97M [Old System] CPU: ---------------------------------------- i3-4160 [Old System] Memory: ---------------------------------- Ripjaws 8 GB (4 x 2) w/1600 [Old System] Storage: ----------------------------------- Case: --------------------------------------- PSU: ---------------------------------------- GPU ---------------------------------------- Thank you everyone for your input and I will keep updating this thread and keep reading discussions.

| Real Talk, how reliable are Youtube only benchmark channels? Posted: 29 Mar 2019 07:45 AM PDT Channels like Testing Games, For Gamers, TechEpiphany, Santiago Santiago., Wolfgang and many more. They seem to test way more games at way more settings that any of the big reviewers. Most of them also show footage of their benchmark runs. But has anyone ever verified whether their results are trust-worthy? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 29 Mar 2019 03:28 AM PDT I don't know if I should get an rx 580 8gb with a Ryzen 3 2200g ( 340 €) Or get an ryzen 5 2600 with a rx 570 8gb ( 345 €) I only want to play fortnite and other games in 1080p 60 fps + [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| BuildReady: Ready to buy, looking for some confirmation. Posted: 29 Mar 2019 11:08 AM PDT Build Help/Ready:Post-edit: It's all ordered!!! =D Now we wait! Long post but the crux is just the following paragraph and the partslist. I am building our lab's computer and am just looking for someone to look over the build and say that it should be fine before I submit it to purchasing before the end of the day (<3 hours). I posted to /r/buildapcforme (original post copied below) for initial guidance and have selected parts based on the suggestions and conversations. I am uncertain of the required power of the PSU given the parts and am curious if the system would benefit from 3200MHz ram for $75 more. (Edit: Also, do I need to buy case fans?) This is what I have come up with so far: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant ORIGINAL POST
Thanks for being the best community ever! I'm happy to answer any questions I can. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

These are my motherboard and ram specs from CPU-Z: This is the motherboard I am using I want to install an additional 4GB ddr3 RAM Will something like Hynix 4GB PC3-12800 DDR3-1600MHz be suitable?

| First Build in ~10 Years (AMD AM4, Ryzen 2600X, Define R6) Posted: 29 Mar 2019 06:05 AM PDT Hello, Reddit! Long time lurker, first time poster here. I'm in the process of finalizing my new PC build this weekend, and I wanted to check in and see if everything in this list made sense before I went out buying the remaining components. I already own the Case, the 4 Case Fans, the CPU, and oddly the Wireless/BT card. I was planning on heading down to my local Micro Center and/or Frys here in Houston either this afternoon/evening or over the weekend and buying the remainder. Any obvious mistakes, or errors that I should look out for? I think I may have gone for too big of a power supply, but I wanted to go for more power as I would like to turn this build into a 3rd Gen Ryzen once they are out or a few months after. I've also got 4x8 RAM on there, which might be a not-good amount for Ryzen 2600x. Should I just stick with 2x8 GB for now instead and potentially upgrade to 4x8 later? I was originally planning on waiting until third gen Ryzen released, but I've got the itch to build and you know how hard that is to resist! I also already have an optical drive and a hdd, but I wasn't sure what the branding was for them and didn't include them. Now I'm sure some folks have probably noticed there isn't much/any RGB on this build, I'm a little old school when it comes to how I like my computers. I totally respect that other folks love the RGB stuff, but I prefer a nice closed case without much/any lighting. I'm planning on setting up the case with the case fans mostly as they are normally in the standard layout for the Fractal Design Define R6, with the addition of one additional fan on the bottom front as I've seen some other folks do over the years with good success. I'm a big fan of air-cooling over water cooling, in general, which might sound strange to folks but I've always admired the instant heat removal capabilities of a good air cooler vs the potential heat saturation and leakages that can happen with some water cooled systems (not as common these days, though!). Anyhow, sorry for how wordy this post is. I'm mainly hoping this post goes through right and that I haven't messed anything up. Thank you!

| Trying to make the switch from Console to PC. Let me know what you guys think Posted: 29 Mar 2019 02:35 PM PDT As the title suggests I am trying to make the switch from console to PC. I would like to include a monitor in the budget. Thanks for all the help upfront. Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and rules? (Please do) Yes What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Gaming/ Light work. Mainly gaming. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) Would like to play at 60+ FPS, hopefully high-ultra settings. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? $1,750 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!). PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
Provide any additional details you wish below. I would like to include a monitor and peripherals in this budget. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Question regarding RTX series cards Posted: 29 Mar 2019 07:01 AM PDT I recently replaced my 1060 with a 2060, it's nice but it's a bit louder than my 1060 was and I didn't change anything like screen resolution. The fans seem to kick up every time a map loads or something, then turn back off. I understand the fans don't turn on until it hits 60 degrees, but why did my GTX card not do this as frequently as my 2060? Both are made by MSI. Would setting a fan curve help this? What would you guys recommend? Is anyone else having this issue? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Need some advice to build a desktop after a longtime with a potato Posted: 29 Mar 2019 09:56 AM PDT I don't have access to a pc (and I won't for some time) so this post aint gonna be looking pretty or with good paragraphs, also I can't post pcpart links. I wanna build a gaming desktop with some slight video editing. My core parts will be Sapphire RX580 8gb ,16Gb g.skill ddr4 ram, Ryzen 7 1700 and a 750 psu. Where I need your help is in the motherboard and if there is something that I should change. I will be building this in late April probably except certain circumstances, which I will build in summer. I also wanna ask if it is more worthy budget wise to wait for summer but there will probably be some sales in Easter so I dunno. Thanks for the help.

| Posted: 29 Mar 2019 01:22 PM PDT PC recently died, so looking to replace some parts: motherboard, CPU, RAM and SSD. I bought a corsair VS 650 as I suspected it may have been the PSU which failed on the old PC, after testing it wasn't the problem. New parts I plan on buying: CPU Ryzen 5 2600 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07B41WS48/ref=ox_sc_act_image_5?smid=A2XOC34F7KPTGN&psc=1 RAM https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07B2Y1N8B/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 Motherboard https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07FQ9ZJD9/ref=ox_sc_act_image_4?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 SSD https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01F9G46Q8/ref=ox_sc_act_image_3?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&psc=1 Will use the VS 650 I brought for the PSU, and I have a GTX 1060 which I will re-use for the GPU. Would this be okay for a build, can't really afford much better atm. It's a bad time for my old rig to die. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Posted: 29 Mar 2019 03:03 AM PDT Hi I need a PC for surfing, downloading, maybe playing with Diablo 3, streaming/watching video (sometimes 4K) on my smart TV, running max 2 VMs. VMs will need not much RAM, but I'm interesting if the CPU is good for virtualization. So thats all, which build would you go with? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MLwCYT or https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TLFYjy (here the VGA is 4GB DDR5, but I could not find it on partpicker) Any concerns about the build? Thank you guys! [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
