| I have an old setup i need to resuscitate with a graphics card Posted: 30 Apr 2019 05:27 AM PDT I have 250$ planning to get a used graphics card but i don't know how much it will bottleneck. Read about the 1050 ti, RX 570, RX 580, GTX 970, GTX 1060, R9 290. It's all confusing! Here are my specs: 1. CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 (unlocked to Phenom II X4 at ~3.4 Ghz) 2. Motherboard: msi 870-G45 gaming series 3. RAM: Adata 6 GB DDR3 @ 1333 Mhz 4. Graphics Card: Gigabyte Radeon HD 5770 SOC 5. Power Supply: Gigabyte 450W (Peak power 550W) 6. Storage: 500 GB 3.5" HDD 6. CPU Cooler: Cooler Master V6 GT I don't have an 8 pin connector. Maybe a molex to 2-pin...? Was planning to get new dimms and a cheap mouse if i am to go with lower cards. What do you think I should do? Which graphics card? Is it worth it altogether? P.S. I can't afford a new PC. Not for the next 2-3 years. Edit: [Update] Thank you so much reddit and huge thanks to /u/thefalleord18 for his giveaway i have accepted his ridiculously generous gift: 1. intel core i5 4590 2. HyperX Fury 1866 MHz 16 GB (2x8) 3. msi Armour MK2 RX570 8GB OC It came as beautiful surprise to me I couldn't be happier and I'm very grateful for this!

| What do you think will the specs required for the upcoming Halo MCC on PC? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 05:49 AM PDT Helping a friend with a new build. He doesn't game much so he doesn't use a 144hz screen but uses a 4k 60hz screen and would like a to play at high settings. Which nvidia graphics card you guys think would be suitable for the upcoming Halo Master Chief collection on PC? CPU wise he'll be getting a 9900k for video editing purposes.

| Should I upgrade my CPU or buy another stick of ram? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 05:05 AM PDT I have just switched to GTX 1070 from a 1050 Ti so my other hardware started bottlenecking my GPU. When I asked around some people said I should upgrade my CPU some said ı should upgrade my RAM. Which one should I do? (i cant do both btw.) specs; GTX 1070 i5 7500 8GB DDR4 2600Mhz Single Channel ASUS Z270H Motherboard. EDIT: Also is it worth upgrading from i5 7500 to i7 7700k? or should I save to buy a new motherboard? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Does the Ram brand really matter? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:31 PM PDT I just built my gaming pc and one of the ram sticks RBG stopped working so I am replacing it I started out with g.skill's 3200 but might switch if the stats are the same are there any brands that might preform better?

| 9600k + 2060 = good enough for 1440p@144hz? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 05:08 AM PDT Im building rig for my 1440p monitor, high refresh rate ofcourse and freesync. My question is, for titles like dota & pubg, maybe gta V will this combo be good enough? Im not interested if future AAA titles, I will do programming, amater video edit and web development. Also, if I want to clock 9600k @ 5.0ghz, will Gigabyte Z390 UD (entry gigabyte) will be enough with arctic freezer 34 duo? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:25 AM PDT Hi just wondering which rtx 2060 would you recommend and why. My main use is gonna be for gaming but I don't want it to get hot and also be quiet [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 11:09 AM PDT So such a stupid question here. I'm about to replace my stock cooler with a liquid cooler so I purchased some "Thermal Compound." Is this the same thing as thermal paste?i got Alumina Thermal Compound 1.75G Tube. is it the same thing? [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cases with Cat And Coffee-Safe™ top airflow? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 08:35 AM PDT While spending way too much time looking at cases for my new build, weighing the options etc. etc. I have come to the conclusion that top vents are, after all, near indispensable for proper airflow given how little room there generally is at the back (usually no more than 1x120mm). OTOH, that doesn't solve my cat issue and coffee paranoia which is the reason I was avoiding top airflow in the first place, so the question is: Are there any cases which have a solid top, venting the top airflow out to the sides, just as cases with solid front take in air from the sides? Ideally without windows, please, those are silly. <50 Euro (not counting fans) would be nice, but it's not a hard limit. Full-size µATX, 230mm GPU (which is shorter than the board so don't worry). Otherwise I might just have to go with a Chieftec Gaming Cube CI-01B-OP, place it at a coffee-safe height, and install some of these. EDIT: I could also forget about top airflow and get a midi tower instead. I also considered just drilling holes into the top of the side panels, but aside from cases with PSU on top, there's just too little space.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 07:02 AM PDT I've been out of the PC game for a couple years and was astounded to see SSD prices are so cheap. Is it worth it to just use SSD as your primary storage? Especially if you aren't going past 2TB [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Ryzen 5 2600x / B450 / RTX 2060 Build Posted: 30 Apr 2019 01:33 PM PDT Build Help/Ready:Have you read the sidebar and [rules] Yes What is your intended use for this build? The more details the better. Gaming and general productivity If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) 1080 and 1440 at 60 FPS and higher in most games (WoW, PUBG, Tarkov, BFV etc.) What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? ~$1000 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. Will be buying monitor separately, but any advice on a decent sub $300 monitor would be appreciated. I don't want to constantly be upgrading this build, but if you see any areas to cut costs, let me know, NOTE: You do not have to follow this format, but please be sure to answer these questions. Please do not ask to simply be given a build. You are welcome to delete this section. EDIT: Formatting [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Need to increase ssd size. Dell 5810 Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:30 PM PDT The 256gb ssd I have in this Dell is too small for the cad work I am going to use it for. I would like to have at least 1tb minimum. Is it smarter to replace the current ssd or just add an internal 1 tb ssd? Windows 10 64bit with 128gb ram An external drive is not what I'm looking for. It would need to be internal. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First time building a pc, is this good? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:43 PM PDT https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8WRdLJ This is my first time getting a pc and i'm going to build it with the help of my friends. Are these specs any good or would you change anything? I have lots of rgb because I'm one of this guys. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:39 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. Mostly solo gaming, with a bit of competitive gaming if I get the itch. If gaming, what kind of performance are you looking for? (Screen resolution, framerate, game settings) I'd like 4k capability at reasonably high FPS (72+) at max settings for most games for the next few years. What is your budget (ballpark is okay)? Shooting for $1500ish or less, but with a couple hundred dollar wiggle room. The build I have is close to the max I'd want to spend unless I have a compelling reason. 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. I feel like this is potentially overkill, but I'm not sure where to improve. I started with the 144 FPS Ultra build and did a bit of tinkering from that starting point. I'll be shopping for a 4k TV soon to use as a monitor; since I mostly play single player games slightly lower response rate isn't a big deal to me. There's a couple of compatibility notes about SATA 6.0 ports being disabled, but as far as I can tell that wouldn't be a big deal since I think I've got more than enough.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:36 PM PDT TLDR: Please review and let me know what I can do for $350 (range) worth of upgrades. Current Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/p7nb3b Projected build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/wTHdLJ -------------- Background: A friend got me back into PC Gaming after almost a decade of playing consoles. He was generous enough to give me his old rig (minus graphics card). I am by no means a building expert, but I'm learning. My thought process was to buy components that would last a few years and then upgrade more in the future. After playing a lot of shooter games, I got tired of only getting 30-60 FPS. Long story short, I purchased a Gigabyte GTX 1070 and a 244 hz monitor thinking that would do the trick. Now I realize that I need to upgrade my motherboard and CPU. I'd like to maximize my 1070 while staying under $350 worth of upgrades if it's possible. Please, give critique. Thank you for your time.

| Problem with AMD Wraith Prism Cooler Software Posted: 30 Apr 2019 12:04 AM PDT I recently built a pc with the Ryzen 7 2700x paired with the Wraith Prism cooler, and want to control it's lights with the accompanying rgb software. A quick google search and I was told to go here to get the software : https://www.coolermaster.com/amd-ryzen-wraith-prism-rgb-software/ But after clicking on the link, I get the famous 404 error. Any idea what I could do to control the fan lights? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. EDIT : u/nick_cm from CoolerMaster has come through, and fixed the link. It now works. Thank you to everyone who tried to help. Ya'll are awesomesauce. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 03:37 AM PDT My daughter wants to give her fella a surprise for his birthday, and she's asked me to help. He's currently got a R9 290x, and I wondered what would be a decent upgrade for him. I've looked at telliing her to get him a RX590, and I wondered if that would be a decent enough upgrade? (Tried to compare the cards on GPUBoss, but the 590 isn't on there) He's got a i7 3770k and 16GB ram on his board. Thanks. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Is it time to upgrade from the i7-2600k for 4k gaming? Posted: 30 Apr 2019 04:46 AM PDT I have a gtx1080 and a 2600k OC'd at 4.7GHZ. I get about 50-60fps in most games at 4k resolution @ low settings. Would an upgrade to 9900k be meaningful as far as value? I would be upgrading motherboard and ram also.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2019 02:55 PM PDT I have pretty weak internet being 10mbps but there are a lot of people that use it. If I try to play anything precise like a fighter game when people are messing around on facebook my gameplay gets absolutely mutilated. Is there a router that would be able to isolate bandwidth enough to not interfere? Or through some means of QoS save me from this hell that the internet has become? Upgrading speed isn't an option since it is a grandfathered program and no better speed in my area. [link] [comments]  | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| What is the best 27" IPS monitor I can buy around or under $300? Posted: 29 Apr 2019 08:21 PM PDT Monitor will mostly be used for work. IPS and 27" are must haves. I am a little price sensitive, but I need a new monitor more than anything right now. I am negotiable on 1440p vs 4k, price is more of an issue, but 4k would be nice. Not sure Freesync is necessary, I haven't seen it in person, so I don't know if it is needed/worth it? [link] [comments]  |
