What chink mouse is closest to a G Pro Superlight?
>>106871918I have a vgn draongfly moba and it's great and only costs like half
>>106871886trying to hold on the next generation of CPUs is hard when all these sales are going on anons...I don't even need it. I just feel the need to CONSOOOOOOOOOOOM
>>106871918I have the same mouse as this >>106871981 anon and yeah it's pretty cool. I think they released a newer version of it though at the same price or something
What's a good wireless ergonomic gaming mouse? There's too many to choose from...

Am i getting this right?>well reviewed AM5 board>well reviewed 1 or 2 tb nvme>well reviewed 16x2 6000 30CL ram>well reviewed 750 gold psu>phantom spirit cooler>1440p 160hz+ screenThen depending on my budget>9600x 7800x3d 9800x3d>9070 9070xt 5070TIThe first combo being about 1100, then 1500, then 1800.Any spare budget can be used to spruce a bit the components on the first partThis is the basic build right now? Im not hurting for money but i dont care for aesthetics, or features i will never use. I want a machine to watch youtube, send emails and play vidya for the next 4-6 years and then do this process again.Thank you
>>106872175>Also a well reviewed ample case so i have a bit of extra room when building the pc as i dont have the most experience.>Any spare budget can be used to spruce a bit the components on the first partMeant spruce up obviously, just saw that it looked weird
>>106872175Mostly correct but a few things>>well reviewed 750 gold psu750 would be fine but consider 850 as a potential spruce up >>106872175>>phantom spirit coolerConsider an AIO instead. They are very cheap now.For cpu and gpu I would say 7800x3d and 9070 xt will do pretty well and you can put the extra 300 dollars towards getting a good 1440p oledGood luck with your build anon
>>106872175Don't use AIO. There's no benefit except aesthetic. And it needs maintenance. Air coolers are better
>>106872217> I would say 7800x3d and 9070 xt will do pretty wellIts currently my preferred combo, unsure on the comparisons with the 5070TI, as this board is nigh unusable on that regard with all the memery and shit flinging. I dont think i need anything extra the 5070TI offers but i also would feel like crap if in 2 years i can activate a feature on a game or whatever cause its locked behind some nvidia shit, i dont really care that much for ray/path tracing. I dont need my games to be in ultra with all the shit activated.>750 would be fine but consider 850 as a potential spruce up Noted, i have noticed that there isnt a massive price difference between 650 750 850 for similar quality psu. The 750 i was eyeing is about 25€ cheaper than the 850 one i would pick. So i will consider it>Consider an AIO instead. They are very cheap now.>>106872332>Don't use AIOIm most likely sticking to a good air cooler, the case will sit on the ground outside view so any aesthetic edge would be lost (besides me not really caring for it).I would consider an aio if it was needed from a performance point of view, if the cooler wouldnt be enough for my choice of cpu.Thank you.I removed the base 9070 off the list of possibles and replaced it with 5060TI 16gb on the cheapest combo with the 9600x, for one is cheaper and for another the 9070 seems like a bad deal overall, if im in a position where i would pick one i would just pick an xt model for 90€ more.I have made a couple configurations on pcpartpicker. Will probably wait for black friday in case i can save 50€ or something like that among all the pieces.Any further advice is more than welcome
>>106872350>would feel like crap if in 2 years i can activate a feature on a game or whatever cause its locked behind some nvidia shitcan't activatei should proof read these posts
>>106872350I honestly also consider going 4k. It's 2025, why would anyone settle for anything less? The difference between QHD and UHD is enormous to be honest. But that also basically force you in getting the 5070 ti. Since the biggest advantage of nvidia is getting DLSS. You'd definitely see the power at a 4k screen. It's right now years ahead of AMDs FSR. Also way more games support it.
>>106872381>It's 2025, why would anyone settle for anything less?Space constraints on the desk and viewing distance. 24" 1080p is perfectly fine. The majority of mainstream games cannot be run on 4k without upscaling and frame gen as well.
>>10687241127" 4k is best for high ppi and easily fit on any desk.>upscaling and framegenAnd that makes it bad how? Except the 5090 no card runs 4k native. DLSS makes it look even better. >24" 1080p is fineLol. Lmao
>>106872381Im the anon you responding toIm not the biggest graphics fidelity enthusiast, i dont mind playing a game with my settings on medium if that is what it takes for it to run smooth.Also i think that the 5070TI would be too much on an "entry level 4k card" and it would fall short of 4k demands too soon for vidya. Im fine sitting this one out and moving to 1440p (im on a 59hz 1080p monitor right now) and getting to 4k on the next change in a couple/few years.I appreciate the advice, i dont think its for me right now tho.>>106872411>Space constraints on the deskIm planning to move to 27 1440p and salvage this current monitor as second monitor. I havent considered the space, i will need to do some rearranging actually. Literally hadn't thought of it.Thank you.
>>106872453I had a 4k 27" and didn't really see much of a difference compared to 27" 1440p other than games having lower fps which I find much more noticeable.
>>106872469A human eye can't see a difference above 60 fps which you'll run minimum with DLSS on at 4k. If you didn't see a difference between QHD and UHD you either bought trashy calibrated monitors or have eye issues.
>>106871886quick question1st ngdpcore reactor iivita gmwhich one?all are 850w
>>106872131ryzen x3d + rtx = patrician
>>106872534ryzen x3d + rtx = console migrant
>>106872482Human eyes don't see in fps just like they don't see in ppi. If you're not glued to your monitor assuming normal 20/20 vision at recommended distance the difference between 4k and 1440p is minimalistic.
>>106872557False all around. Text clarity and crispness is a gigantic difference between 1440p and 4k, assuming they're the same sized monitors viewed at the same distance.
>>106872568Like I said don't be glued to your monitor. Recommended viewing distance for 27" is around 80 cm and at this point the difference is minimalistic. You can use 4k as AA alternative here but the drop in fps is just not worth it.
>>106872131>Steamdeck = Family/Job faggot
>>10687258280cm is like the max you'd want to use 27" at and you can definitely see the difference between 4k and 1440p even at that distance
>>106872582The drop in fps once again is neglible and well compensated with DLSS on. 4k DLSS >> 1440P native. Most people don't sit at that max distance, 60 cm would be a more generous estimation and at that point only a blind person wouldn't be able to tell the difference
>>106872604>80cm is like the max you'd want to use 27"What? The lowest recommendations are around 60 cm going up to 1m. I personally find 65 cm too close already.
>>106872625thats your personal preference but monitor distance recommendations are usually based on resolution with a minimum somewhere around an arms lengththe upper end of human vision gives puts you at about 1.1 meters before ppi exceeds visual acuity for a 27" screen at 4k
>>106872624>4k DLSS >> 1440PI've read this a few times already but I'm still not convinced. Of course if you have a 4k monitor 1440p will look like ass due to the scaling factor but with a 1440p monitor? Modern AA is garbage but one can use DLAA at this point as well that seems to be less janky as quality upscaled 1440p to 4k.
Any pointers on this one, just for gaming for the next 5 years? Would you change something because of reliability or because of compatibility?

>>106872743I meant more like that a 4k monitor using DLSS is way better than a 1440p monitor running natively, trying to make the case that even if you dont run your 4k monitor natively, it will still outperform a 1440p monitor. Of course, a 1440p monitor upscaling to 4k resolution will look garbage.
>>106872131enthusiasts dont buy locked down and gimped gaming only hardware, Radeon is non starter
>>106872810personally not a fan of the lancool 216 because 160mm fans are ass to find replacements for but otherwise fine
>>106872810absolutely fine overallif im being picky there HAS to be a reason for the sapphire pulse to have been the cheapest 9070xt ever since the release, maybe check some model comparisons and see if there are better options that arent much more expensiveyou can probably pick a cheaper set of ram, mobo and hard drive and never notice the differenceyou CURRENTLY dont need the 850w psu if a 750 psu is available at a better/much better pricethe case is up to debate, i personally find the montech air 903 to be simply perfect for those budget conscious builds and is probably slightly cheaper, but i understand cases are also about looksAgain, its perfectly fine if you rather click buy, just worth to give those points a check up, just in caseI have no idea what the pic says, i literally googled finnish memes and picked the first image
>>106872840you can adjust the mounting bracket to use 120/140mm fans though
>>106872722>are usually based on resolution with a minimum somewhere around an arms lengthYou could just use math https://phrogz.net/tmp/ScreenDensityCalculator.html
>>106873105yes I used a calculator to get those numbersnot sure what your point is
>>106872810pick tray only
Which one should I get?Also what would you change?
Im gonna be getting a 9950x3d soon. Will my thermalright phantom spirit evo be enough to cool it during use?
>>106873629There's an easy way to check. Look at the TDP of the processor and then check the max TDP of the cooler. 9950x3d I think is 170 to 230 and the cooler you've got can cool around 240ish TDP. So it's quite close. Honestly for 9950x and up I would probably try and get an AIO in 280mm preferably or 360mm if you have to.
Not sure if this is the right thread, but what would be the best solution to remote play from my desktop to my TV in the living room?No way I'm paying some crazy amount for the discontinued Steam Link. Just need to have something that runs the steam link app or steam itself on 5G wifi.
>>106873601>Which one should I get?Between those two the bottom. >Also what would you change?The 7800X3D runs fine on air so no to pay extra for an AIO, see:https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d/25.htmlOverpaying for PSU, RAM, & NVME. Cases is a little expensive too, but that's a personal choice.Any specific features are looking for in your motherboard, because very often the more expensive boards having extra USB or PCIe slots is not something every user actually needs.My recommended edits: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/9jz8Dj~£300 Saved.Also why the 4090 (and what monitor are you using)? Have or gonna get on OLED?If you plan to do a lot of AI stuff I guess a "budget" 5090 would be a good deal for the perf uplift (~32%) over the 4090 + extra VRAM:https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/jcYfrH/msi-ventus-3x-oc-geforce-rtx-5090-32-gb-video-card-geforce-rtx-5090-32g-ventus-3x-oc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nA72xZmUSzcLol, glad I did not follow my impulse to get the RTX5070.If you test long enough, the VRAM gets full, and in the case of BF6 the 8GB version becomes a choppy shit GPU.You don't see that with minutes into the bench, which is why you don't see that reported often.Those review guys just start the game, get 5 minutes at max of diddling around and call it a day.12GB Vram is not enough, already in 2025, guess what will happen in 2026 and 2027?
>>106873672You're probably better off asking in the stupid questions thread. What do you want to stream? For TV, movies and porn there's options. For gaming I don't have any idea. But a quick google search brought up this video and the Apollo program. Might be worth a look.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERC7UrkRL2c
I have an RTX 3060 12GB and a ryzen 5 3600. How are my specs for gaming in 2025/2026?
>>106873669Thing is, I already have a gpu aio so that might turn into a mess. I should just build an actual watercooled pc one of these days.
>>106873755
>>106873706the retards spamming that one beta benchmark are awful quiet now
>>106873699Thanks bro that's a nice build! I'll use that instead of my list.I want to do some AI stuff with LLM's, but I'm mainly thinking about gaming so 4090 and saving 300+ seems a bit better.Definitely an OLED screen. I was thinking about an ultrawide from Dell 3440x1440.
I'm in a deeply troubling mood. Lost my job and I really want to burn money right now. That 9800X3D is looking mighty fine.
>>106873706guess it doesn't scale well with more cores
