It literally doesn't matter. You know that right? Sometimes people do things just because they can. Like you for example. You choose to stay alive even though you're a waste of space.

The 11900K is much better in productivity despite being an 8-core instead of 10-core, but in gaming the 10900K pulls ahead so pick your poision (and whatever is on sale or you can find a deal used on Ebay).

>There's also this case for ATX boards that I've seen here quite a bit that looked really good that was recommend here with a woodgrain/green color scheme. Anyone remember the name?
This? It's a Corsair Carbide 540 Air with custom vinyl paneling (not real wood). There are real wood accent cases on the market like the Fractal Design North series and Corsair 4000D Airflow Wood, also Lian Li & Antec are about to jump on the bandwagon too with new models see here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pARWmgnfcVU&t=409s

There are also real custom wood panel cases you can order/commission on Etsy for $$$

Does anyone find the growing number of 4090s that have specific parts harvested off them for sale on ebay? there's like a weirdly high amount of them for sell

Also the case I was thinking of, and you reminded me of it, was this mini-ITX case
https://www.newegg.com/Jade-Fractal-Design-Terra-Small-Form-Factor/p/11-352-214

But the mobo I have is not a mini-itx mobo, so I guess I have to decide if having the form factor beats just buying a new mobo or a combo on sale

>>101197563
Maybe if I specified why I want an ITX it would help: I need to be at a standing desk because of a medical problem, and a large full-sized case would likely affect its movement for where I can have the standing desk. A smaller form-factor would allow me to put it on top.

Looks reasonable. I would want a 5600(X) at minimum with that card but you wouldn't necessarily need a new heatsink - the 5600(X) is more efficient than the 2600. You may /want/ one though for lower noise. Consider also the 5*00X3D if you prefer higher FPS over high settings and/or play a lot of games that scale well from cache.

nice, so im looking at a 5600x3d or 5700x3d for CPUs to repalce and the 6800 seems like the best card for the money ive found, could go higher and spend anoht $140 or so but it doesnt seem worth it. I was intiall comparing 6750xt, 7700xt, and the 6800 and the 6800 seem to be the most powerful card for long term and about the same price

>>101197888
This is what I got at €1400. Will play any game on the market at 1440p with minimal settings tuning or upscaling. If you have a spare €100 for aesthetics then go ahead and get the North per >>101197920.

that's a beautiful one, anon, I'll probably pick a couple of your options to extra optimize the budget
you think there's a lot of difference between the montech x3 and the air 903?

>>101197951
Well like I said it depends on your game preferences and budget. As well as your upgrade intentions. If money's short then the 5600 would be fine. The X3D would mainly be good if you play more CPU-heavy games or like to target high FPS over high settings. It'd also probably let you get another card upgrade later without a platform swap. Leave it too "late", though, and you'd need a new CPU too.
Personally I would take the X3D if budget permits because it'll get you the most life out of the AM4 platform. Probably enough to skip AM5/DDR5 altogether.

3d is great but in your case you'd have to be playing games that see some of biggest gains from the v cache for the cost to be remotely worth it as an in place upgrade to the 5700x3d.

>>101198024
honestly my goal is to get as much life from this machine as possible, If I do replace it before am5 ends, it would be going to someone else that would be intending to use it for years to come anyway, so it makes sense to tsort of "Max out" this build.

I prefer higher framerate personally so the 5700x3d seems worth an extr $50-60 and I think the 6800 is enough to sustain higher frame rate 1440 gaming for the next 4 or 5 years at least, id hope.

>>101198021
Not for a <300W system like that. The 903 is "better", strictly speaking, but at €90 for the white model it's a hard sell. They're meant to be cheap cases. If you're prepared to spend up for build/QOL/looks you might as well go for a more mainstream manufacturer eg. Lancool 2, H5 Flow, 4000D, 500DX, etc. They all have white cases in the €100 region.

>Avoid iGPU-less CPUs
Why? 7500F is $50 than 7600 where I am at.

>>101198294
I get where they are coming from, if youre going so hard on the graphics card and such, it sort of makes sense to jump to newer generation of motherboard and such, especially if youre already buying a new set of ram and a new cpu, its not much of a jump.

>>101198167
Frankly it's all pretty marginal. Your requirements are relatively basic (if you'll permit a type-C) so any of the cases listed will do. That means it does come down to aesthetic preference (and how much you're prepared to spend).

>>101197341

I've grown tired of arguing with you, so I'm going to stop now.
I have zero interest in downsizing my ram to satisfy your fixation on the 4070 Super.
>>101198336
While I would love to make the jump to AM5, I'd only do so in order to get the 7800x3d or whatever AMD releases thats the equivalent. At the moment, I do see the point in getting rid of much of my existing hardware. If it wasn't for my need for better performance, I'd have kept the 1700x and GTX 1080.
Maybe its my midwestern sensibilities, but I just don't like throwing out perfectly usable things.

I really don't want to run two computers. I'd rather just have one that does everything I need it to. Also, if I wanted to build a brand new AM5 computer, I'd have to spend about $300 more than I would've just upgrading what I have.

Picking some parts out to upgrade my mid range PC from a couple of years ago. Mainly for gaming, video editing. Gonna keep my two M2's and my 650w power supply. Could use some advice so I can blame someone else than me for picking out shit parts.
Running a Ryzen 5 3600 and 2060super right now, still works good enough but I got about 1k to upgrade the aging equipment.

Is upgrading to DDR5 necessary at this point? I got 32gb of DDR4 ram and figured I can still use them for a couple of years. Problem just is, I have NO fucking clue about mainboards at all, arr rook same, got the same names, I cant tell the fucking difference. No idea if the tower cooler I put into my shopping cart can even fit that on the H610M I picked.
My idea was to grab a i5 13600KF with a 100$ range mainboard. Why? Fuck, I dunno, the price is good and it got decent results in testing. I wanted to stick with AMD but their prices are just about the same if not worse than intel for what they deliver.

As for the GPU, 4060 TI or 4070S considering the next 4~5 years? Could get a good deal on a 4060ti right now about 200 bucks cheaper.

The most economical move on the cpu front is a 5700x3d or 5800x3d as you get to keep your platform and both cpus are no slouch.

>>101198665
I did, hence my addiction.

>>101198616
While the 4070 makes sense, don't bother looking at the 4060 or 4060 ti. Nvidia really isn't worth it in the low end.

>>101198616
Seconding the other anons. Install a 5*00X3D, keep your RAM, and upgrade to any card you want. If you can afford a 4070S, get it. If not, the 6800 is good value right now.

>>101198670
I looked at that myself but I'm worried as the X470 GAMING PRO MAX mainboard I have is not even listed on my go to seller sites anymore, fuck not even Amazon has it anymore. Apparently discontinued in its entirety in 2023, so might be too old for its own good.
And the 5700x3d and 5800x3d need the cooling tower right? Would that even fit? I haven't used these new tower coolers before.

>>101198747
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X470-GAMING-PRO-MAX/support#cpu
The board will run it with a BIOS update. If it's working fine otherwise there's no need to replace it.
Yes you will want aftermarket cooling, as you do with any CPU really, Just make sure it's compatible with AM4 and fits in your case. AM4 is extremely popular so 99% of coolers you can buy today will support it. You don't need the biggest baddest tower to cool those chips but there's little reason not to when they're $40.

>>101198747

You'd already got a truck load of DDR4 RAM, drop a 5800X3D into your motherboard and you should be fine.

>>101198747
I looked into your motherboard and the latest bios supports the 5700x3d and 5800x3d, so just remember to update the bios before installing a new CPU.
What cooler do you have on it now? Honestly, any current CPU cooler on the market will support an AM4 CPU. Check out Thermalright's tower coolers. They usually have the cheapest prices and they work great.

I'll look into the thermalright coolers then, they aren't too prices ain't too tight with the price now if I grab the CPU upgrade, I take it the PC part picker will show me compability issues even with fans and mainboards right?

It's being called the best mini led monitor in that price range, but it's also VA so it has terrible ghosting and VRR flicker. The alternative is the cooler master GP27Q which is IPS mini led, has more dimming zones, but the firmware is asscheeks.

Turns out only apple took image quality (retina) seriously. When gaymen plebs were going "omg latest gayems look shit on my decade old 1080p display!!!!11111one" they blamed the wrong reason. Who knew that PPI (among a few other metrics) matters? Not /g/ that is for sure.

I'm thinking of getting a 4K monitor, but I want to know first if the scaling thing that Windows does for the UI affects everything, even executables. For example, if I open a windowed game at 1080p on a 4K screen, will Windows scale the game too and make the window look bigger? Or will it run the game in native 1080p even though Windows scales the rest?

>>101201372
the window will be scaled
the game will not
some shitty devs don't account for window scaling and their programs look dumb. it's rare but happens

>>101201372
>Windows does for the UI affects everything, even executables
It depends sadly is the answer. Most games i've found will ignore windows scaling entirely and just run off the reported base resolution. Doom 3 for example DOES respect windows scaling so running the game at 4k on a 4k screen with 125% scaling has it going off the edges of the display.

Dell/Alienware for the longest had the inability to update firmware on their monitors but they fixed that on some in modern times
I would pick the cheapest the one on sale when we are talking about these slopcore monitors

Its an apple marketing term. Other people cant make retina displays since they're not apple.

That is because it is a combination of poorfags (not toasters) in denial better exists and ignorance of gaming that falls closer to /vr/ territory these days. 1080p has been mainstream for best part of 15 years but screen size has kept climbing.

at most you wont be able to play pirated games anymore and you'll receive hardware bans from games and websites

More and more I'm starting to find the people who endlessly whine and cry about RGB far more annoying than those that want it. People care about aesthetics, and if they want light up fans in their case, and aren't worried about slightly worse cooling performance, who fucking cares? Enjoy your featureless black box if you want to, just stop pretending you're so much more 'mature' for not wanting RGB for fucks sake.
It only really looks terrible anyway when they don't configure the colors, and leave it as generic rainbow.

I need to know the name of this particular 4slot pin layout for fans. My intention is to get some adapter for PC fans and slap some pc fans to it with zip ties. Cause the replacements fans are scarce and expensive.

Please rate and improve my build bros, this shit took a while.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xBfTL9

Highest priority is silence, since my current setup is extremely fucking annoying with my new open ear headphones. Money is not an issue, but I'm only really playing shit like Genshin Impact, Elden Ring, and LoL so there's no need for a 4090 or anything (and it'd be louder). I bought the PSU ages ago and then forgot about building a PC for a while, this is why it isn't 3.0. I read that Nocue fans are overpriced, but they're still supposed to be the most silent so whatever. Not sure about the current case, I just chose the highest rated as a kind of placeholder since it's hard to see the difference between cases. Region is europe.

>>101202126
Most gpus (lmao fuck you asus) use a off-the-shelf 5 pin fan header and adapters for that exist for 3 or 4pin case fans. Something like this https://www.watercoolinguk.co.uk/p/EK-Waterblocks-EK-Cable-PWM-Fan-Adapter-for-GPU-50cm_62064.html

PSUs are most efficient at 50% load or something but in practice not many people get double their wattage so yeah, just go 75% for power spikes I think.

I'm still rocking my ~8 y.o. R3 2200G + GTX 1060 6GB PC, but I'm thinking it might honestly be a time for an upgrade. From what I've seen the 5800X3D and the RX 6700 XT are the go-to for a cheap upgrade that will handle most stuff on 1080p without any major issues, but what I'm concerned about is the power requirements - I've got a 500W PSU, should I also get a 600W one with it?

>>101202702
I have had a 550W PSU with a 5800X3D + 3060ti for a year now and I haven't had any issues so far.

>>101202702
Is it a good 500w psu? Pure wattage that is fine but handling the spikes is where the "headroom" people talk about comes into play.

Radeon can't display HDR correctly out of the box a lot of the time, retard. Nvidia can. Nvidia also has RTX HDR, which is amazing. Radeon of course doesn't even have a poorly performing """"competitor""""" feature. Also Radeon has just as much shader stutter as Geforce or Arc.

That sounds fine, PCPartsPicker says that the estimate is around 450W which prompted me down this path, but I really don't know anything about PSUs

What do you suggest then? I heard high hz 1440p is still too much for stuff like the 4070, same for 4k.

>>101202995
To be more specific, I found tests for the 600W version, but I don't know how much the quality differs between the various wattages within the same product line

poorfag here, I need advice for a motherboard
I had a rig in 2019 and I forgot the motherboard model I think it was a B350 and I was using a Athlon 3000G and I was able to use 1 HDMI output and 2 DVI (D and I) outputs at once and used 2 monitors and 1 TV

What motherboard allows me to do that now for that same 3000G? I don't need a GPU I actually use a Pavillion 23 and want to sell it for a mITX desktop

Mostly for use on my TV and 2 monitors with Retroarch and some 4K Blurays using a USB disc drive

does the 1070 really mogs the 3050 ?

A 4070 Ti Super is entry for 4K because of DLSS. 4K DLSS Quality looks better than 1440p TAA or DLAA, because the reconstructed resolution is higher and the base input is the same. It's always better to turn whatever base resolution you can run into a higher resolution with DLSS Super Resolution, and of course there's Frame Gen to factor into the equation as well. The only real question is whether you can shell out the money for a good monitor, like one of the recently released 4K OLEDs. Considering you're buying a $260 mobo and a $500 PSU, that money would definitely be better spent a decent display.

>>101201177
The Dell is the best

>>101200835
No. Not nearly enough performance increase if you're trying to keep the AM4 board. A 7800X3D starts to become worth it from a performance standpoint, maybe not a cost standpoint, especially if you've already got the 5600. Likely you're GPU limited in a lot of the situations where you think you're CPU limited anyway

>>101200450
Yes, just get a board with Wifi. Of those options, I would choose between the ASRock B650E and the Gigabyte Aorus Elite

>psu wattage
If you're buying modern Nvidia components, you'll be just fine with a 750W PSU.

>>101203185

>it's also VA so it has terrible ghosting
The ghosting is about on par with the IPS of yesteryear. It's not bad. The monitor is notable because it's one of the few VAs with fast enough response times to be worth buying, and it's miniLED to boot. Also VRR flicker only occurs when you're massively dropping individual frames, which happens on OLED as well. It's a downside, as some games that you might want to play will probably have that type of stutter, but if you have decent standards and don't play games with garbage performance, it's not really an issue.

>>101200312
The 4080 Super is far more performance with higher image quality in practice. Also the quality of life is much better with Geforce cards. You'd have to be a retard to waste nearly $1,000 on a Radeon product

>>101200202

>>101199699
Haven't watched it. In fact I've pretty much quite watching AMDumboxed, much like I quit watching MLID long ago. Their content isn't high enough quality to be worth the time. Monitors Unboxed is still worth following however

>>101203264
>Considering you're buying a $260 mobo and a $500 PSU, that money would definitely be better spent a decent display.
The PSU is already bought, as I said. And I would have no problem shelling out money for a good monitor, but the expensive ones are all OLEDs as you mentioned, and I just really do not want to have to deal with burning in. My PC activity is pretty repetetive.

>>101203409
>Hope that wasn't for gaming.
It was. Should have upgraded a while ago really, but it honestly always felt fine. I'm gonna have to see just how much of a difference doubling the hz makes.

>>101203398
I haven't touched any bios settings. Shouldn't it be on by default on modern mobos?

It isn't turned on by default at all. Its something you'll have to turn on yourself.

Do modern SSDs like the 990 Pro or SN850X still follow the "20% free space" provision or can they work well/last longer with less?

No, you can reuse it. Get the non-F version, as iGP can come in handy. Also get a Z board for the power tweaking options and make sure it has good enough power delivery for a 13600K

>I'm gonna have to see just how much of a difference doubling the hz makes
It's really about adaptive sync / VRR. There are plenty of games where you won't be able to push your monitor's max refresh rate for one reason or another (example: the CPU limited MSFS 2020), but you can frame limit to whatever FPS your system can reliably push, making the best out of a bad situation. A 60 Hz monitor would have a lot of tearing and judder under traditional V-sync in the most CPU limited areas, unless of course you're locking to 30 Hz with half V-sync or using something like Fast Sync, which still has tearing. Having said all that, especially with Frame Gen, you can easily run at 120 FPS or better in most games. For me 75 FPS is about where a gamepad controlled game starts to feel good (or a top down game like Baldur's Gate 3), and 120 FPS decent for slower mouse controlled games. For competitive games, the higher the better. My 144 Hz monitor isn't enough.

If you need any tips about how to use VRR, just ask and I'll give a you a few.

A lot of old cards will need to be cleaned and undervolted to run acceptably.

>>101197693
Depends on the games you're playing, but I would look for a used 3060 Ti or 3070

>>101196308
You have to populate all of the adapter's connections. If your PSU has the splitter cables, you'll be fine.

Because of the price?
>If buying modern Nvidia, you'll be fine with a 750W
PartPicker says estimated wattage is 513, that's 75% of 684 and 50% of 1026. Where it gets confusing is that 650W seems close enough to not pay the extra for the 100W increase, much less all the way to +450W, but I have a hard time finding efficiency ratios, since 50%-75% is a huge range. How much am I missing out?

I had chosen the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 ATX 3.0 650 W 80+ Gold, which is 86 € currently. 75% of 650W is 488W, and 513 is 79%. Is the drop in efficiency that drastic?

>I would choose between the ASRock B650E and the Gigabyte Aorus Elite
Thanks.

>>101203926
>I had chosen the Thermaltake Toughpower GF A3 ATX 3.0 650 W 80+ Gold, which is 86 € currently
If it's a lot more expensive to get the 750W, no real need, especially considering how good modern PSUs and Nvidia GPUs are at respectively absorbing or controlling power spikes. The efficiency difference isn't drastic

>>101202311
Package your goods carefully in the smallest package possible. Label it clearly. Don’t skimp on packing tape!

>>101204015
The Thermaltake is the most quiet, 2nd most efficient, and 4th ibest performance in the 650W rankings, ATX 3.0 ready, for 86 €. Meanwhile, similar metrics for a 750W is 143 €, for 850W up to 220 €, and for 1000W up to 260 €, if I want ATX 3.0 as well.
