The one on ebay is a best buy special that simply cuts down on hdmi ports from what I'm reading.
Short of putting the two side by side (which I might end up doing anyway for reasons) I don't think there's too much of a difference.
Part of me wants to buy a another AOC one as my second monitor is now sitting about 15mm above the AOC one with my vesa setup, but I'm also capable of machining out a plate that handles the correction.
Why the fuck is vesa not standard in its location?

Is there such a thing as a very, very vertical tower? Something like those wall mounted PCs but on a desk?
I have a lot of vertical space (obviously, up to the ceiling) but my desk has limited horizontal space for reasons.
Unfortunately my build is full ATX, a big ass 9070xt and I currently have a 360 AIO and a power supply that I stupidly bought because it has ports on the side instead of the back (RM850x shift). So it can't be too thin I guess. My current case is fairly bulky as it is (Lancool 216)

Should I go for AIO CPU cooling or not?

But if I use it, it feels kinda weird that I'm water cooling the CPU, but still air cooling the GPU.
Should I go for water cooling at all? Or should stick to air cooling?

That's what I'm thinking . This forum for months has been full of justly disappointed people (including myself). And today was the peak.

I wouldn't be here if I had 5070ti. I wouldn't read all this AMD-inflicted pain that y'all are translating into reddit posts.

Just note for myself from the future:

Don't rely on temporary emotions when deciding what product to buy. Nvidia is shitty but state of the art is state of the art. Of course they are ripping people off, who doesn't? But it's just money, you will be better off with a few dollars less but better mental heath. Just search "Redstone launch" or "FSR4 int8" and remind yourself what you want (what you are paying for) to avoid.

>What kind of speakers do you prefer?
I prefer bookshelf speakers with a dedicated sub. I run a 3.1 setup in my home theater and it's served me very well, everyone I've shown it off to is impressed.
>white noise when idle.
Before I went deep down the home theater rabbit hole, I had this issue with my Edifier setup. I was only able to remedy it with a coax cable. I nonstop emailed them about their noise floor and they ended up sending me another $300 set (s350db, they're charging $500 for them now) for free lol. fywiw, Edifier makes pretty decent PC speakers.

If you can, try to find some smaller desktop speakers like Edifiers or Kanto's (You can add a sub to these in the future, but they're quiet pricey and I've never owned them, but they're well regarded).

imo, It's not worth pursuing any of the more premium speaker options for your desktop (like expensive KEF LS50s (I use KEFs for my home theater, but I would never drop $1500 on powered speakers)). Having a sub changes everything, so go for an option with that if you can even if it's none of the examples I listed. Audiophile boomers can fuck off, home theater chads know what's best ;)

It's only going to get worse.
Just wait until the inflation from higher energy prices starts showing up in consumer goods 6 months from now, inflation takes some time to make it's way around the system
That will be combined with the ongoing hardware demand, which isn't slowing down at all.
Anyone waiting for prices to drop will be waiting until they're simply forced to buy the expensive stuff, which has likely gotten even more expensive.
Even in a best case scenario, at bare minimum we're going to be looking at the elevated prices for the next 2 years and even if they start falling around then, it'll take 3 years for the prices to be low again.
If you need to buy something then just buy it.

Noob/Goober Question

How much extra headroom would you guys get for a PSU?

Built a PC for the first time last year and with PCpartpicker I went with a 1000W PSU after it told me it would need around 750W.

I'm asking because I added additional Nvme's to the system and during a heavy gaming session, BF6 spiked the system causing a blackscreen shutdown. Im guessing with the added storage drives I lost headroom?

Would it be an overreaction/overkill if I went with a 1500W PSU as in image?

I'm so tired of being poor and not being able to afford a 5090 pc

Good thing all of them undervolt extremely well, rip to the normies though.

Can get a 3080ti for less than £400 off ebay, worth it? The closest modern gpu to this price is the 8gb 5060ti.

>>108561709
not a goober question and i'm kind of in the same boat, I fell for the "1000w is plenty for a 5090" meme and before I undervolted my gpu I had a similar random shutdown, so I'm all for headroom.
1500W might be pushing it but for a brand new PSU that's expected to live through a few builds idk. if you expect to be near the top end of the market it starts to seem practically prudent when you consider the general trend of the high end outpacing efficiency gains and the greatly expanding CPU core counts we already know are coming from both amd/intel.

>>108561972

Well what are you on now? I can't imagine a reality in which it's worth upgrading just for pcie5.

>>108561993
Cheapest one is £480 whilst cheapest 3080ti is £355

>>108561972
Yes, the 3080 was the last real 80 series card njudea released. The 3080ti basically matches the 5070 although the 50 series has better RT.

>>108561972
i wouldnt bother with it unless you really need a gpu right now, Ampere is really old, you are better saving some money and getting a 5070 on november when the prices are better even if its 550 i know it sucks but buying budget cards its just not worth it, you will be missing on RR, pathtracing and tons of logevity and 3 year of warranty because you cheapen out on 150

>>108561972
Either that or save another 100* for a 5070, which would be usually not too far off in raster but everything else would be a lot better + you're not gambling on a used gpu that was probably full throttle for like 3 years straight (mining)
60ti v 70 is too close in price to make a lot of sense for gayming, and the 70ti you're paying 50%+ for.

>>108561972
>>108562174
I would stay away from the ti series cards for gaming. The reason people faun over the 5060ti and 5070ti is the vram that isn't even ideal for gaming. The 5060ti isn't going to do shit with 16gb of vram and 5070ti struggles to make use of it.

That being said when running programs that are resource dependant like ai and heavy video editing it works out. For every one gaming they're just going to be sitting there with unused vram and memory bandwidth.

>>108561972
I had a regular 3080 for a few years. It was a good card and easily capable of 1440p and 4k gaming with some DLSS. The biggest problem was the power usage and resulting heat. 30 series cards were inefficient as fuck out of the box and you can shave 80-100w off with a light undervolt. In the end I decided to replace it with a 50 series card because I like to have a quiet and cool system.

>>108560090
Most everything not CPU and GPU could use a refresh. But the problem is that with modern parts you're really looking for negatives rather than positives because the average has reached near universal okayness. So instead of recommending cases, coolers, storage, monitors and such, it really could be condensed down to recommendations against anything with known issues. Everything else should be up to individual preferences at this point. The RAM section is about right really, completely generalist statements, though it should have an LGA1851 section noting the higher speed that is good to go with it. Maybe should list what RAM module prices were in the past for comparison so that anyone reading can get a sense of when prices have come down to a level that they're willing to pay, or perhaps if they never do come down...

>>108562015
if you buy a 30 series card all your doing if financing somebody else's purchase of a 50series card.

What do you think he memorial day prices will be like?

Okay, my Exodia build is finally done.

This all started months ago as "buying cheap RAM because I found 32GB of DDR5 for $100, but then realizing my CPU doesn't support DDR5, so I built a whole new PC."

PC:
GPU - ASUS Prime 5070Ti OC 16BG ($750)
CPU - Ryzen 7 9850X3D ($400)
(Thermal Grizzly KryoSheet ($24) I'm too lazy to do thermal paste)
RAM - Kingston FURY Beast 32GB DDR5 CL36 ($100)
SSD - WD_BLACK SN8100 4TB ($450)
MoBo - MSI MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX ($180)
PSU - be quiet! Pure Power 13 M 850W ($90)
AIO - be quiet! Pure Loop 3 280mm ($85)
Case - Fractal Design Meshify 3 Black Solid ($120)

Other Stuff:
Monitor 1 - MSI MAG 271QP OLED 27" 240Hz ($300)
Monitor 2 - ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG32UCDS 32" 4K 165Hz ($700)
Arm - Ergotron LX Pro ($150)
Keyboard - Keychron K2 HE ($70)
Mouse - G502 X LIGHTSPEED ($85)
Pad - ATTACK SHARK CM02 ($14)
Display Cable - RUIPRO 8K Fiber Optical HDMI 20' ($60)

How'd I do for my first from-scratch PC build?
Did I miss anything? Am I retarded for spending this much just to upgrade my RAM?

>>108562510
>Look, one single graph on some fuck-ass website means that its literally 3% different in performance

neither you not I actually believe that, so shut the fuck up

>>108562544
skip the kyrosheet and just use thermal paste, unlesss you're overclocking, using a threadripper cpu, or using water cooling you don't need that shit

everything else, idk, pretty beastly PC to be honest.

>buying a display cable

I know for a fact that the asus rog oled will come with a bag containing a DP, HDMI and usb-c cable, you can use one of them with the MSI display, I expect the MSI display will also come with its own display cables anyway.

My advice? Don't buy the KryoSheet (designed for extreme overclocking) and get a better mousemat/mouse or something.

Also I really do not agree with buying such a luxury pc case, cpu, gpu, monitor,

but then buying kingston ram, i think you can definitely get some g skill instead at cl32 6400mhz

>>108562590
>skip the kyrosheet and just use thermal paste,
My PC is all put together already. I have never put on thermal paste before, and I don't want to learn or fuck it up. The sheet is just "put it on" and you're done, so I went with that.

That said, I did overclock / undervolt everything on the PC.
The CPU gets to 70C under 100% load, and maxes out at 5.65Mhz.
The GPU is overclocked / undervolted as well. Hits 50C at 100% load.
I want this PC to last a while, so the low temps it runs at, the better.

>I know for a fact that the asus rog oled will come with a bag containing a DP
You're right, it did. But I keep my PC in a closet so I don't have to listen to the fans. The 20' Fiber Optic cable let's me just run it from my desk to the closet and not lose single quality.

>such a luxury pc case, cpu, gpu, monitor,
Really? I thought all the shit I got was midrange?

>i think you can definitely get some g skill instead at cl32 6400mhz
Not right now I can't. That shit is way too expensive now.
But, I watched a Hardware Unboxed video and the difference between 6000Mhz RAM and and 6400Mhz RAM on a CPU with X3D is less than 1% in performance. The X3D cache covers for a lot, I guess. No idea how it really works.

>>108562708
>midrange

There are eight 5000 series Nvidia GPU's and you bought the 3th most powerful one, don't bullshit a bullshitter.

>>108562728
>3th
3rd*

I mean, people say the 5060 is trash. And the 5080 is way overpriced, as you only get like 10 more FPS for $500 more.

But I've had people in these very threads tell me my CPU and GPU is midrange.

>>108562748
>5080 is overpriced

I mean, the PS5 just went up in price by $100, people including you clearly aren't thinking properly, shame.

>>108562748
>>108562760
>5080 is overpriced
I bought one and though it isn't the best deal, its the best card for gaming hands down. The 80 line has always been the premium, its just not what the 90 cards have turned into.

If I recall its the rtx 4500 chip.

>>108562818
the geforce 8800 gtx released in 2006 at $599 and it was considered the best gpu you could get

and back then, SLI existed, so you had people buying two of them.

that's $1200 back in 2006

don't tell me your 5080 is overpriced, you have been in this game as long as i have been making memes about pc building

Why didn't you buy one 32" 4K OLED monitor with 480Hz 1080p dual mode? A second display doesn't need to be an OLED/miniLED (use your old monitor as the 2nd screen).

Gpu's like that have been relegated to integration into the cpu. What we're expecting out of dedicated gpus has ventured into the absurd. A 5090 is something like 60% larger in die size than a 1080ti.

i have a old rx480 that just keeps crashing with driver time outs, its been doing this for a few years now, tested on multiple computers, ran good for the first year i bought it new and subsequently shit the bed. now im looking to upgrade. are the newer amd card still having this issue or was this just that era of cards that have that issue? i told myself i was gonna go nvidia when it was time to upgrade but now i dont know. i must have submitted a billion crash reports but maybe the card was just cursed.

(me)
So I looked up a bunch of prices and they look something like this. What's the vibes? I'm feeling I'll just give up on Nvidia and get a 9070xt. I feel like the price difference from the 9070 is not big enough to not get the xt version. Also these are all second hand prices because first hand is too expensive.

>>108563205
>ok so why does everybody say the AI bubble is popping now?
All the fake money seems to be running out and the hype is dying down. Sora shut down to save money, Disney not giving them the billions they promised, new models being meh, datacenters not getting built, users jumping ship now that the prices are up... Don't expect cheap GPUs and RAM any time soon, but the times they are a changin'

>>108564024
>Sora shut down to save money
It got shut down because there are programmers willing to pay $1000/day to generate code. Nobody is willing to pay anything like for creating video and there isn't enough compute for both.

DO NOT BUY OLED OR MINILED

How come nobody warned me about this? Especially if you use your PC in dark room like a typical gremlin.

The local dimming will rape your eyes. You could be staring at a pitch black screen then be blasted with pure white light a millisecond later. I can stare at my TN panel for 24 hours no problem but anything with local dimming makes me wanna cry. The extreme brightness and contrast shifts might look good but your eyes will be miserable because it will be constantly dilating like a tranny.

What TIM do you recommend? I want the best cooling!

>>108564073
Can't you tone that down in general when it's dark in your room? I just have an IPS panel but that's what I do. Just turn down the brightness.

>>108564093
it doesn't fix the problem because you don't have a "flat image" like LCD screens everything part of the screen has its own brightness level

so you turn brightness to 0 and the whites look tolerable but the dark pages are now unreadable. the contrast levels are just too wide.

>>108564073
You shouldn't be using HDR outside of games which is why mini LED are better because you can just turn off the local dimming to have a uniform image in SDR without the crazy brightness fluctuations that comes with HDR.

I need an IPS monitor like the AOC 24G2ZE/BK, but 27inch 1440p or 2160p and with proper 10-bit color or 8 bit + FRC instead of this crappy 6 bit + FRC that causes color banding.

My BenQ PD2700Q is still the best screen I have but it sucks for mouse input and games due to the huge input lag.

>>108565222
>60hz yikes
27M2N3501PA was cheap but it went up in price like 10€ on amazon here
still the cheapest half decent monitor
considered buying one for the memes

>>108562544
Do people normally count their monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc as part of the cost of the over all PC?

Whenever I see people say "I made this PC for $[X] they never say how much their full set up is.

>>108565250
>60hz yikes
60Hz on the AOC is way better than on the BenQ due to the input lag being lower, before you even turn it up to 240Hz.

>>108565292
Usually they just mean "everything inside the case cost X".
But sometimes people don't count things like fans, coolers, extra drives and various other things.
Pretty much never are people referring to mouse, keyboard, monitors, desk, chair and whatever else.

>>108563205
Because the banks are pulling out. No more money for data centers that they know will never be built.

>>108565222
You need a monitor with at least DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 to run high refresh rate 1440p @ 10-bit (up to native 240 Hz).
There are no 4K IPS gaming monitors with DisplayPort 2.1 required for high refresh rate 10-bit without DSC (at least 33 Gbps bandwidth needed @ 120 Hz).
You need to get a newer IPS with miniLED backlights or OLED for higher display bandwidth.

>>108565250
>27M2N3501PA was cheap
It is cheap, DAMN. I paid 879 PLN for my 24G2ZE/BK in 2024. It retails for 700 here. I wonder if there is a catch or if I could get 2160p 240Hz if I spend a little more. This is cheaper than a 5700X.
