>>1032548851080p60 cards would be something like the 4060 (or XX60) cards. If you're concerned about power consumption then be wary about the 30xx cards like the 3060 since they're power hogs in comparison to the 4060.The current catch with GPUs however is their gimped VRAM and cost despite VRAM.8GB VRAM is perfectly fine for a mix of high and medium settings @1080p. 12GB VRAM even more so.If you want to start heading into more demanding games and higher resolutions you're looking at a card upgrade or lower graphics options. A 4060 is a pretty economical choice I'd say. It's just not something that'll last unless you stay away from big releases.
This is what I'm planning on grabbing along with a 7800X3D to upgrade from my 12900k/DDR4, assuming I don't spot any better BF deals is there anything crazy objectionable here?I'll be keeping the same PSU/Case/GPU, I've already got 2 NVME drives but one's only 500gb so I'll just drop it if there's any lane fuckery issues.>Workstation/high end: consider 2x48GBI've currently got 64, it keeps Solidworks happy and is more than enough for my local models, any specific reason to go up to 96?>Not getting an X870E NovaASRock no longer has an Australian distributor for some reason so it's expensive as fuck and has no after sales support.

I want to buy a stupid expensive flagship OLED monitor and its own sale for as cheap as it has ever been. Earlier this week it was $100 off for an Early Black Friday sale and I called the store and they said that would be the best price but now it's another $100 lower. So I'm wondering if I should wait for real Black Friday. Do you think there will be even better prices next week or should I pull the trigger now? This is the lowest the monitor has ever been anywhere in my country (1300 USD on sale for $1,100 USD)
https://news.skhynix.com/sk-hynix-starts-mass-production-of-world-first-321-high-nand/
>>103255231>a bunch of cache "superscalers" like Factorio?Yeah, plus WoW, BG3 etc. Plus I'll be going from a 4090 to a 5090 when it launches early next year, and I figure now's a good time as any to go to DDR5.I'm fully aware that in most games at 4k I'm not going to see any meaningful uplift, though the improved 1% lows will be nice to reduce OLED VRR flicker
>>103255271>Yeah, plus WoW, BG3 etc.Ah okay that's more reasonable.

>>103255496I hate the current Megazord style of the giant cases and the RGB stuffThe only piece of RGB I had was built into the fan on my old air cooler heatsink, now that's gone there's nothing RGBWith no CPU cooler inside there's now a decent amount of space in my mid size caseI've got a big panel of clear acrylic plastic and I'm going to cut it into a new side panel to replace the glass, with a hole cut out for the cooler tubes and some new vent holes. I'm also making a new top panel to replace the gauze that was there, which will seal away the interior from the cooler fan airflow
Why does getting a new monitor have to be such a pain in the ass? Got a new pc like 4 months ago without upgrading my decade old monitor and ive been pushing buying a new one away all the time because i just cant pull the trigger. Whenever I feel like one is decent i read reviews about dead pixels, bad backlight bleeding and other shit that scares me away. Also the fact that idk anything about calibrating it and getting the right settings with hdr or not, color modes etc when it will arrive already drives me nuts. I just wanna plug it in and use it for fucking 5+ years without any issues is that too much to ask. And like I said ive been pushing it away for months but now is the stupid black friday shit and theres a lot of price reductions so i feel pressured to make a decision today.

hey pcbg, wanted your opinions on this. i have the antec flux pro and a 420mm lf3 and i wanted to mount it on the front with tubes down, but saw that there is no space, so instead of mounting it with tubes up i decided to put it on top. the configuration that i think is best is pic related, with the rad fans in pull config and case fans in front and rear as exhaust; the gpu has its on intake on the bottom.cant do any tests because im still missing the cpu from the build, but do you think putting the rad in front or configuring the top rad fans as exhaust instead of pull might be better?

Is HDR a big difference to SDR? Watching some monitor reviews rn and it gets mentioned from time to time but i dont really have an idea of the difference

>>103255948i guess that'll keep the mobo vrms and ram somewhat cooler too, since i intend to do some overclocking. i hope the cpu's io die wont be bad.
>None of the shit I want is on sale Bros I'm livid.
>>103255971On OLED yeah. If you have a modern phone you can see the difference right now by comparing HDR videos on YouTube.
>>103256000184.4cfm on the datasheet but the case really strangles themthey can pwm down to ~300rpm before they stop and at that speed they're "boomer silent" aka i can't hear them over the tinnitus
>check monitors>burn in is still a bitch>maybe I will get a headset>worry about headset dentI guess I will continue to do nothing.
>>103255592At launch people were saying the 7900xtx was slower or on par than the 4080 on raster. Today after 5 minutes in AMD software you're better than a 4090 D and almost to a real 4090.
I was hoping the 4070 super would drop to £500 or below for black friday but so far the lowest price is the same as it was for prime day (£509)
>>103255923all your fans are opposing one another. come in from two or three sides and go out the opposite one or two.
>>103255971Depends on the game, there aren't many with good enough HDR implementations and AutoHDR/RTX HDR are kinda shit.Cyberpunk with HDR on OLED monitors is a super impressive experience.Only thing to know is that HDR is generally mastered for dark rooms. You lose the effect with current display brightness capabilities in brighter environments.

What should I look out for when it comes to getting an SSD?
>>103256249man, i bought that case on amazon on the 19th and it got all the way to my state and then the seller put a return to sender order on it. i wonder if its due to the listing having the images swapped for the black and white skus or if theyre just trying to fuck me.
>>103256394that its not fake, pretty much
>>103256394does it fit in the hole, and will all your shit fit on it
>>103256440same way i pick my dildos
>>103256224I mean like if the monitor has HDR in the settings and if it doesnt work properly/look good i can simply turn it off and it will be SDR right? Because im looking at a potential monitor I might buy and people said its HDR is not good (even a fake version whatever thats supposed to mean)
>>103256456yes you can turn if off. Lots of shit doesn't work properly with hdr on
>black friday on amazon>those prices
>>103254965Are there any PC Parts I should consider getting before the Tariffs hit? I need to get more Storage but idk if I should get a 2nd M.2 or an SSD, right now I can get a 4TB SSD for around $170 but what about RAM? I have 32GB which I know sounds overkill but I play Modded Minecraft unironically with my Frens so should I just say fuck it and buy another 32GB of RAM?Also a hypothetical question, is it worth buying Computer Parts in bulk and reselling them after the Tariffs cause a /g/SHTF? I won't be reselling them for a lot maybe just an extra hundred depending on the demand and yes I'm broke so thats why I'm asking bros.
>>103256456>can simply turn it off and it will be SDR rightyes, it's not a hard-locked feature.>HDR is not good (even a fake versionyou're probably looking at a traditional IPS/VA display without MiniLED. these usually aren't able to display HDR properly, they can only interpret the HDR data being passthrough to them.true HDR requires high brightness granularity (at least up to 1000nits) and extended color gamut. the latter can be found on any display, but brightness control is still iffy outside of OLED monitors.
>>103256470Laptops, tablets, etc. will sell better than gamer hardware
1k us 1299au delivered good for this?
>>103256464>>103256476Okay thanks. Right now im about to have to make a big decision whether i get this (after doing quite a bit of research this seems to be one of if not the best QHD budget monitor although i read about a bit of a gamble when it comes to the panels) 1440p 27'' monitor: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/gp/product/B0C9R15T26?tag=rtings-de-mn-21&ie=UTF8&th=1or I save 50-70€ and get a 24'' 1080p monitor. Both will be insane upgrades from my old 27'' 1080p 60hz one from 2012. But im still torn.
>>103256491you can't do much better than the Dell G2724D as far as traditional IPS go, it's a great monitor. it's a huge step-up from 1080p if your PC can handle the higher load
There's about a $60 difference in price between the MSI and the Gigabyte 4070 TI S cards on amazon. Is there something about MSI GPUs I should know about before buying this lower priced 4070?
>980 pro 2tb is on sale>990 isntshould i just get the 980?
>>103256511?
>>103256524its been that price for at least a month. It was $150 a couple weeks ago and around $120 on prime day
>>103256470I am going to buy an SSD, and this seems like a pretty good 1 so far, should I hit it bros? I'm going to keep looking but I don't want to go above $200.>>103256477Really???? What about PowerSupplies?
>>103256529I don't think its going to go back down to Prime Day sale price. I wanted to pick up the 4tb version myself but ended up getting the sn850x instead because of that. Likely pick one up around christmas as deals might be better then. Or maybe as BF sales go on they'll lower it.
>>103256507Thats good to hear. I got a 6750XT but i mainly use it for watching youtube,streams and browsing anyways. I dont play that demanding games so I should be fine in terms of PC handling I think. Im just a bit nervous because so far in my life I used a 27'' and a 22'' 1080p monitors with TN panels and they both worked for decades till this day and now Im getting the first IPS one and I read all this bad stuff about dead pixels, backlight bleeding, IPS glow etc. so I hope I wont get a bad one and it will work for a long time
>$400 for a first gen oled monitorI didn't think we were going to see any drop below $500 this here but here we are

If my pc specs appear as the minimum recommended . Should I take that as a sign to upgrade my PC
>>103256715If the game runs like shit at the settings you want, that's when you upgrade
>>103256715Depends how much you wanna play that specific game right now (and other new games I guess), what your current PC is, what you would be upgrading, what you might be able to sell if that's your thing etc. Sometimes minimum specs work fine like if you just wanna play it on the lowest settings you could have a great experience for just the price of the game instead of the game + $100s worth of components I member when people were building new PCs to play Fallout 76 and then had to upgrade them by the time a new game they actually wanted to play came out
>>103256613Not unless it includes free shit with it. 5700x3d is the superior chip if you're still on am4 and is sub 150

MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 $600 from chinaman in 3 weeks. Tempted as fuck, local stores sell it for $800+
>>103256788Sounds risky, especially since manufacturers rarely honor warranties for products bought outside of your region.It's not even a particularly good model and the price seems high, no idea where you're from but I'd wait instead of gambling on it.

>>103256803I'm from east, but not that far east. It's a crazy deal equal to $400 AOC in US they got now. People order them and they come without problems. They promise 3 years warranty, but I have to send it back to china myself.Also it's a good model, the only relevant difference with MPG is the HZ.
>>103256711Whichever is cheaper. Sn850x has been great for me
>>103256820It will run Crysis. Will have to use upscalers and frame gen for anything modern.
>>103256858Ok, nice. I hope it can emulate anything up to PS3.
>>103256782Wilds ran like absolute dogshit even on high-end systems. Capcom is relying on frame generation to get it to acceptable performance levels rather than actually fucking optimizing the game.Anyone who says "it was just an old build bro it'll be better at launch!" is coping.If you want to run it at a decent frame rate you should probably start looking at some new parts. I'm ordering new parts very soon myself. Maybe consider moving to AM5? For gpus I'd wait until the next gen comes out, unless you see a crazy good deal on a good card before then. All the current cards will likely be cheaper either way before Wilds releases in february so even if the new cards are overprized dogshit you can get an older card for cheaper.

>>103256887x3 performance from memory, it's pretty good, 6900XT is an oven though, on the other hand easy to undervoltbe careful it's not a mining card.
>>103256875It's shit on AM5 too make no mistake
>>103256887That's what I upgraded to last year and it was exactly 3x fps from the 1070.As the other anon said the card runs hot so you need to undervolt or repaste/repad.
>>103256901>>103256905I can test before I buy, what temps should I expect in something like Furmark? I don't know how to determine if it was mined with.
>>103256921>I don't know how to determine if it was mined with.practically you can't except looking at the seller, memory can just die one day, that's the risk with mining cardsother factor if it was freshly repasted repadded could also mean it's a mining card, they do that
>>103256921Depends on the model itself, case, drivers, etc.110C is the TJMax so if it's hitting there at stock then it needs to be opened.
>>103256901>6900XT is an oven thoughIsnt that standard for most AMD cards? I read that its totally normal that they go up to 90 or even 100 degree celsius on heavy load
>>103256953no it's not, I play 2077+RT at 78C hotspot with my 7900XT. they pushed RDNA2 a little too hard.You don't hear from people but 4080S hot spot goe to 100C as well.
>>1032569049800x3D + 4090 averages ~100FPS without FG in Wilds, so there's that I guess.
>>103256470What Tariffs? Stop believing the fake news. jfc
>>103256985Well yeah that's the best cpu on the market combined with the best gpu on thr market I would hope it ran it well. Honestly that sounds quite low for those specs which makes the bad optimization all the more evident
>>103256939>>103256953Yeah I'd rather not buy a card if it gets that hot, even if it's considered "normal", it might have survived for 4 years but expecting it to last me like at least 4 more sounds like a huge gamble.

>>103257127Buy a CRT and chop your dick off
>>103257127do you use your monitor at max brightness? if not then you're probably keeping your monitor at lowest brightness settings and living in a dark room, if that's the case then OLED is for you and burn-in would be non-existent at low brightness
>>103257148Yeah I have an MSI MAG 27'' right now. No max brightness as it was like staring into the sun. Saw some custom settings on rtings for better colors and brightness settings and I've been using that ever since.
Should I ditch the ultra wide meme for 4k?
>>103257148Not her, but what if I used brightness at around 30% usually? Would that cause burn in after 5 years?

Gigabyte 7800XT is on sale for $600 leaf bucks. I will have to pass on this. I have a SFF case without any sound insulation.
>$650 on Amazon>$570 on NeweggLeery about NewEgg these days from stuff i've heard about them
>Black Friday still over a week away>Already starting to see 4070tiS stock dwindleif I miss out black friday I'm not building my PC until the new year, am I?
>>103257270Wait, Amazon just lowered it and the seller is fucking NewEggWhat
>>103257124Yup and its all your fault.
>>103257293yesif you see a good deal grab it nowlast year there were a bunch of people bitching because they skipped black friday and ended up empty handed during the christmas rush due to lack of stock or bad deals
What shit can I use to benchmark gpu?currently only have hitman installed with the build in benchmark
Be honest is there a big difference between 100hz and 144hz? Most of the time i have my games fps set to around 100 anyways so is it even worth for me to get more than 100?
after looking over a pcbg threads i've come to the conclusion that they're just for poor people, probably indians and chinese, who are mostly losers that play video games. video games are made for children
>>103257324was going to say I was waiting for Gigabyte's Windforce to go on sale in the first place, but I just noticed their Gaming model's got a deal for $999 leaf if I go in store. Is it better than the Windforce? Windforce is $1099 right now
>>103257368It's not bad if you don't specifically play multiplayer shooters, but what monitor are you looking at that's only 100Hz?
>>103257396Theres a lot actually. Rn looking at the BenQ GW2490E its only 85€ rn. Ive been researching the entire day and i just cant figure out what to get in terms of size and resolution. An hour ago I wanted to get the Dell G2724D (27'' QHD) and now im thinking I dont game that much might aswell just get a cheap 24'' FHD one like this benq (atleast with a monitor this cheap if it has deadpixels or some other shit after a short time it doesnt hurt as much financially as the Dell)
>4070 ti super still 900 euros>4080 super still 1100 eurosTime to keep waitfagging
>>1032573423DMark covers a lot but if you don't want to buy/pirate it then Unigine Superposition is decent.

So what 32" monitors have 480hz besides the dual mode OLEDs?
>9700X is one of the worst reviewed AMD CPUs recently>lowest is $300
>>103257504none exist
>>103257387don't quote me on this but I think windforce is supposed to be the entry model and gaming would be above that but in general the difference isn't that big so I'd just check reviews to see if there's any issues before you buy it

Just picked up this msi g274qpf monitor from Costco for 160. Dell g2724d which is not available locally seems marginally better for 150. I'm still in the return window, but this is just a side monitor I use for web browsing alongside an oled. Worth the hassle to return or will it barely be noticeable?
i just bought the 990 PRO 4tb for $243 due to workplace discount
you guy knows if those random ass monitor brands from amazon are good?Gawfolk, Game Factor, Koorui, Elsae, Crua and others that I've never heard of before but they're relatively cheap and they're all 1440p 144hz ips.The actual decent brands are not available in my shithole and I'm not sure if I should buy those sketchy monitors or not.
I gave in and consoomed again. I really wanted a wireless keyboard and this was cheap.
>>103257083Everything is safe if it's on stock voltages. I think you can go for 5.4-.5.5ghz with 4.8-5ghz ring with average binning. Don't forget to squeeze negative offset(at least -30 millivolts) with AC_LL adjustment, just in case if vcore going above 1.3V+
>>103257672I have the g274qpf-qd with no regrets. I can't imagine IPS being any better.

Are PSUs basically a solved component?IE just grab a gold rated atx of the proper wattage, and all brands are about the same now?
>>103257769stop being homosexual and go AM5

>>103257769Holy fuck you filthy bastard
>>103254965>Mid range: NM790>Premium: Samsung 990 Prothe latter would cost me only 20 eurobucks more than the former in the 2TB version, is there even a point in going for the Lexar (or something even cheaper) then?
>>103257782No, there was a lot of fake golds or golden samples sent in designed to hit gold and then the production models would be shit.There's now the cybernetics system that has replaced it
So the OP recommends the ASRock PG27QFT2A but amazon only sells the PG27QFT1B.Is there any difference other than the wi-fi antenna?
>>103257700>Kooruithis is the only one I'm familiar with because people talk about it here and on youtube, the perception is generally
>>103257828i'm pretty sure the panel is the same but the stand is different
>>103257817The cybernetics website?Never heard of it before, but I took a look and the corsair RM850e atx 3.0 that is currently on sale seems to be rated well on the site.I suppose that is my answer then.Thanks anon.
>>103257520it's better than 7700x, I'd take 9700x over X3D if I didn't have 7700x already

>>103254965>1440p: ASRock PG27QFT2A, Are there any other monitors I should take a look at in the 1440p range? I'm not sure where to look for quality reviews of this sort of thing.
Bought an OLEDThe regret is already seeping in
>>103258019why? how much?
>>103258019which one? lolthe Samsung S90D just went on sale too.... is 55" too big for a monitor? the final copeS90D 55" vs 42" C4 vs 32" QDOLED monitorsI'm losing my mind
>>103258019why
>>103258030IMO 32" is pretty much the biggest you can go for a monitor. Anything after that is for couch gaming/movie watching.
>>103258024>>103258030This model >>103257270Got it on Newegg as the Amazon one had a 90$ tax attached to it while NE had $50 for tax + s/hThe regret comes from knowing its going to burn in and I've wasted my money when I could be saving it.
>>103257945Not asking for 4k 480hz but just 480hz at all on a big screenI'm somewhat too blind to care about resolutionMy current "monitor" is a 49" x900e TV I sometimes knock down to 1080p just to use the 120hz
What's all the controversy around OLEDs? Sorry not deeply into the lore of monitors.
>>103257963alright thanks, there must be a reason why everyone is buying it nowadays after all
why do all these oled monitors have 240hz minimumi'm fine with 144hz, any OLEDs around that range?
am i a caveman for still using 1080p 60hz? feel like i'm missing out, but my pc isnt that good - 4060 and 5700x3d
>>103258053regret will fade away when you actually ue it.OLED is a perfect renewable income source for screen companies, it's a drug you can't refuse if you consume media on it
>>103258048the fact that a 55" qdoled tv costs less than some 32" qdoleds is now retardedI think you would need to place it on a fucking stand behind a desk at that point to make it usable as a monitor I guesstoo bad it might be the best quality oneI might take the plasmatvforgaming-pill, pic related>>103258053which one tho>>103257504the 27" aqdp is the best 480hz for 1440p simple as >>103258062what controversy?poor people are afraid of the eventual burn in, that's about itand it's less bright generally than lcdsthat's about it>>103258075msi 32 4k one with 165hzit's not much cheapermore hz is a benefitor you can buy tvs for 144hz 4k for larger screens
>>103258075Unless there is significant savings with going with a lower hz, just get the higher one and set it to 144hz.
>>103258094it's fine-ish for 1440p
>>103258094>60hz>x3dyou are more than missing out, you are fucking upbare minimum buy a 1440p165hz pooper for 150 usd
>>103258075if in US, check out 240hz AOC for $400
>>103258101>the fact that a 55" qdoled tv costs less than some 32" qdoleds is now retardedI agree. It's price gouging because they know who the market is.
>>103258114>just get the higher one and set it to 144hz.that's stupid, 240hz 60fps would show much better results than downgrading to 144hz.
>>103256510yeah, msi build quality is garbagebuy gigabyte
>>103258138>240hz 60fpsYou do understand that hz = FPS right?
>>103258164Seems like the consensus on which of the two has worse build quality can't be reached. Some reviews from this year say MSI is better, some say Gigabyte is better.
> Taichi and Nova are still out of stockWhy did God put us on this Earth, just to suffer?
>>103258164Gigabyte software is garbage as well though.T. Gigabyte gpu owner (unfortunately)
>>103257087>buying windowsFucking lol. Change that PSU to a NZXT C1500 and buy a 5090 once it launches since 4090 is already struggling and anything below that card is dead and buried >AIO No need for that CPU, just cheap out and buy a phantom spirit The RAM is laughably bad too. for 6000 the timings should be either 28cl or 30cl though the former is not available on kits above 32gb

>>103259048>TVGross. They aren't meant for computer monitors.
>>103258883>will it survive the shipping?>is the build quality at least decent?>will the fans last long enough before they start making annoying noises?Consider it a mystery box. At least it's cheap.Personally I'd rather go for something in the ~$60 range that's been properly reviewed by multiple people. More fans doesn't equal better cooling anyway, often as few as 3 is more than enough.

I have a 3060 Ti that I'm thinking of upgrading, either this year or the next.Ideally, I'd like a card has at least 2x the power and VRAM, so I've been looking at the 4070 Ti Super. Should I bite the bullet or just wait until the 5000 series?
apparently my health insurance took too much money from me and are giving it back, the absolute ladsthat's some 1000 eurobux on top of my tax returnlooks like I'm back in the market for a new GPU after all sissies
The reviews for this PSU seem good, not just on amazon but across several other sites.Before I buy I was wondering if any anons here know more about this manufacturer. Or have heard anything questionable about the make/model.Was looking to pair it with a 4070 TI super that I already own.>>103259150Make no mistake, the price of the 4070 TI Super is way more than the card is worth.It's not a terrible card. It's just horribly overpriced.>>103259150
>>103259156CONGRATS NOW IT'S TIME TO WAIT
>>103259150what are you struggling to run with that? I'd say wait for the new gen
>>103259148just get the pro rs. its about 20 more
>>103259150Just wait. What in the world are you struggling so badly to run that you'd overpay for a card when you could get more for your money in just a couple months?To be clear the 5000 series will also be hilariously overpriced but at least you'll get more than you would with a 4000 series for the same money.
>>103259134>I'm thinking around 800 bux is around where the oleds become doable, which is usually around a 50% sale on the tvs around thereI don't know how much price point matters when oleds are all around the same price point range.
>>103259160be quiet is a reputable company, but when shopping for a psu you should always look at how much warranty they offer and on cybernetics about efficiency and noise.
>>103259162thanks anonmy trusty 3060 from the wuhan virus madness era will have to last just a little bit longer
Do I buy a dual monitor like the cool kids or an ultra wide? I've had a 32" LB561V LG and I'm killing myself if I live another day with this piece of shit.
https://www.amazon.com/Fractal-Design-Terra-Graphite/dp/B09DKPXSFJFinally came down in price. Anyone have experience with it? I want it for a very low-profile work computer build with a small form factor/no GPU.
>>103259160be quiet are krauts, too autistic to fuck people overI got a straight power 11 1000w and am immensely happy with it, fucker is actually inaudible
>>103259134My current display is an old 60hz 4K TN panel that I bought for like $450 through a discount several years ago. I have always skimped on displays because I get fed up with all of the fucking confusion and rumors and nonstop bullshit that I just throw my hands up in the air and go for something that, should it fail, I won't feel bad about losing. Everything else in PC building is so simple by comparison that the only times it genuinely becomes a confused mess is when the manufacturer goes out of their way to obfuscate the technical details or you're buying from the Chinaman and feel like rolling the dice.
new thread?
>>103259056I think the issue most have with the idea of burn-in is that they realize they don't actually use a monitor for more interesting purposes than browsing the web 99% of the time.If you were actually using the monitor for dynamic content like media consumption and gaming you wouldn't even care about burn-in because it's unlikely to ever be significant.You have to accept OLED is not a tech for budget-conscious users or buy-it-for-life crowd. It's not meant to be a replacement for traditional monitors and isn't fit for productivity and static applications.Once you've done your coping about that, you can start using the monitor with the slightest care just in case (black wallpaper, hidden taskbar, auto-standby) and call it a day.
>>103259160>>103259166>>103259215Thanks anons, in that case I guess I'll just wait for the next gen to drop.>What in the world are you struggling so badly to runBasically AI-centric stuff like Flux and local LLMs. Vidya currently isn't that much of an issue for me since I'm still on 1080p and I mostly only play older titles and indies anyway.

>>103258258So what would you recommend for parts? I'm clueless when it comes to how they work exactly and what is and isn't good.
>>103259302A monitor is a multi purpose device so of course it's going to be used for web browsing and work but also movies, games, etc.
>>103259330>c4 42I not only don't have room for a 42 inch tv but also wouldn't want one because they're not really meant for computers.
>>103259303>Basically AI-centric stuff like Flux and local LLMsah that makes more sense, but still wait a bit if you can
>>103259330>this is in direct correlation to your poverty level thoughNah man, I just don't like buying things that could fail. I have always measured the worthwhileness of something's value by its relative cost to other things that are important to me or were important to me. Monitors at the end of the day typically aren't that important to me, they aren't crucial in my mind and I have never viewed them that way. Call me a miser if you want.
>>103259346The 42" are definitely made to be monitors
>>103259330>they aren't even so expensiveSure Elon Musk-anon, they're not expensive at all. Please stop larping, I'm sure you don't even own a single one of those displays.
>>103259333personally I already have 4 monitors so there's no reason for me to use an oled for web browsing if that became my 5th monitor
>>103259359monitors are often the longest lived component of a system though, I'm still using a couple 10 year old ones
>>103259380That's nice for you, but I would like to swap my main monitor with something a tad larger.
>>103259372there's oleds going for $400 right now thoI've paid more than that for IPS and TN monitors back in the day before even considering inflation
>>103259412>oleds going for $400 right nowI know and that's what I'd go for if I wanted one personally, but everyone seems intent on buying the overpriced 4k models. At $1000+ it's fair to picky.
>>103259385Sure, as am I. I have two very shitty, very old 1080p monitors that I've been lugging around since I owned a 970 GTX that I still use because, inconceivably, the dimming isn't bad to the point where I can't use them for reading/emails/videos/etc. I am doing that right now in fact. But the point is, everyone shouts from the rooftops about how OLED are bad because of the burn in. And I look at that as being a bad investment, as a consequence. However I've been told repeatedly that QD-OLEDs and current burn-in protection protects against that, and these monitors all come with 3 year warranties against burn in. Even if I have to deal with Asus' notoriously shitty customer service, the point being is that there's a 3 year shelf-life on this thing at a minimum. I do the math, okay, I bought this for a grand. That is 333.33~ a year, what could I have purchased with that same money in a year? Is that price point low enough to justify the expense? If burn in starts to happen by the third year and they replace the panel, and I get another 3 years out of it (roughly), that cuts down the year-over-year price down to $167. Is that number low enough? That's how I work on purchases like this. It's how I buy my cars, my appliances, and basically, everything that isn't a daily, weekly, or monthly expenditure goes through this flowchart in my head.
I Just found out the S90D 55" in europe is a fucking WOLED - It's over, only the 65" is a QDOLEDthe QDOLED TV Meme Dream is over>>103259346>but also wouldn't want one because they're not really meant for computers.give me a reason, the same panels have been used in "Monitors" just with DP ports addedother than being a tv it's the same, other than pixel layout and other thingsmany used them as monitors>>103259372>I'm sure you don't even own a single one of those displays.I don't, I've seen them irl thoI'm gonna consoom one shortly though, most likely, highly likely>>103259359if you don't value shit don't buy the best of somethingif you care, you wouldanything can fail, no guarantee your lcds will last 2 decades>>103259438oled tvs and shit cost less and have been less than tiny 4k lcdsthere are lcds cost more than the 4k oled monitors right now too>>103259441I had burn in on lcd before and it only showed in certain color aspects, just because you have burn in does not make the entire display obsolete, unless you are autistic/or need 100% pristine looks in every color spectrumI already detailed before how you can abuse the panel replacements from various vendors too regarding tvs, and buying additional insurances if you need before toobut anyways
>>103259494>give me a reasonSleep modes function differently. Input functions differently. Many TVs require tv remotes to adjust settings. Also something I didn't know - TVs don't do well with small colored text. Either way, I don't have room for 42 inch so I have no interest in continuing this conversation.
New to PCs and I'm planning on cloning my Crucial SSD boot drive to a newer Samsung one using an Sabrent enclosure. Is there anything I should know before hand? What program should I use for the cloning process and would I run into issues since I'm cloning into an SSD of a different brand?
>>103256467because it's consumerist bullshit and the prices are the same or more and just claim to be heavily discountedit works, too
>>103259332Ask in another PCBG thread. As long as you make 1 of the first posts you will get a bunch of advice
>>103259544Crucial SSDs usually come with acronis and it does the job fine
>>103259524>TVs don't do well with small colored textthey haven't done well with text for a long time, even back when CRT TVs were the norm. probably because TVs are built for bbc coverage
9800X3D buyers are having hard times finding motherboards for them
>>103259565No, we're having a hard time finding the good motherboards for them, lol. If you want an E, you got like two, maybe three choices that aren't stupidly priced. If you want X870, there are more, cheaper options and some people would argue that's the better choice, but I'd leave that up between you and your God.
>>103259565almost any am5 board would work
>>103259544I'd use a Linux machine and run dd command. Different brands are no problem.

8tb m.2 drives are still too expensive. Fuck the worst korea
>>103259565What's even a good mobo for it? I was considering a MAG B650 Tomahawk but I think I might get a B650 Steel Legend instead since it's barely any more expensive here.
>>103259622RAM and mobo are atrocious. Ddr6000 with cl30. Get b650m HDV. Use the monies for better GPU. 7800xt or 7900gre. Can you get a kc3000 SSD? That HDD is no good. What monitor you planning on running?
>>103259681SSDs are never going to be well priced again
>>103259637Nova is worth the initial price, not the scalped. Also, check out gigabyte x870e boards. I bought the x870pro rs WiFi.
>>103259659Yes, nas drives are better. I'd buy ironwolf nas, Ironwolf pro, the WD ultrastar DC series. 8 or 10tb is around the best value right now.
>>103259714Damn, I missed out on well priced SSDs. Have one but my board can't run it because lmao intel 10900k ;__;
>>103259688Get x870 pro rs wifi
>>103259772>x870good luck finding it
>>103259653X870 pro rs is better for the same price.
>>103259659i just get used DC ones
>>103259714Nah Ill just wait
>>103259772>>103259778I could get it for $291, while the Steel Legend is $258. The site starts its blacked friday sale in about 14 hours so I'll see if either of them get a good deal.
>>103259778Where the fuck do you live that you are unable to find x870 pro rs? If you can't find it, buy any asrock x670e or b650e boards that are reasonably priced.
>>103259781pro rs has>worse m.2>worse usb>worse lan>worse audiojust reading the specs herehow is pro rs supposed to be better?
>>103259690>7800xt or 7900greToo pricey for our budget. >That HDD is no goodHow so?>What monitor you planning on running?1080p, don't know much else
>>10325987027" 1440p with 180hz or higher is pretty cheap. Consider a nice monitor. Depends on local market, here id choose exos or ironwolf.
>impulse buy the 990 pro>clearly dont need ityes i have a problem but at least im admitting it
>>103259821Why are they so expensive?

>>103259659I got one of those APC models that look like an office desktop, can't remember the model name
>>103260155Generally yeah, income is fairly high here. I'm just a wagie who earns about $20/h though, and I still pay 33% of my income in tax. So buying parts that are also taxed to death hurts my wallet quite a bit.
