How's this for a PC build? I barely know anything about building my own, so any feedback would be appreciated. Jumping from the speccy screenshot at the bottom.
I'm happy with 1080p gaming for now, but eventually I will move to 1440p. Idk how well this would perform at 4k.
Is there anything here that is absolutely retarded? Anything that could be swapped out for something better without increasing the price too much?

Shit's expensive these days. That total is €4815 / $5595. I knew ram was expensive, but the SSD's caught me by surprise.

your rig will handle 1440p perfectly, corsair cooling paste is stupid, buy noctua or thermalgrizzly or something.

arctic freezer AIO or TRYX, try to avoid ASUS tech they have horrible customer service. Nice mobo pick, 64gigs of ram is fantastic to have, but its not essential if you wanna save money.

Now is like the worst time ever to buy a giga-build, but if you want to play at 1440p or better, its not gonna get better anytime soon either.

If you're shit at video games a few microsecond differences aren't to blame unfortunately

Don't know how things are exactly in whatever euro country that is but the aio in the greatest place on earth (America) is like 3x the price of what you need to pay. Check out like Arctic or thermalright or something. Here msi branded aio's are randomly basically free, so maybe check that too.
Same with the motherboard, you could maybe halve the cost on that

I have that case and it turned out to be a real good and simple build. 5080+7800x3d.
The only real constraint is the gpu size support. I would have gotten a 5090 if there was one to fit in there at the time, and finding a 5080 that would fit was limiting. Though now there's a proart 5090 coming out that will fit in there easily.

If you want one with a little bit more wiggle room and isn't a sandwich style case I would recommend the Jonsbo/Jonsplus Z20.

That's why I recommended the Jonsbo case since it can do air cooling. The cooler master nr200 cases can do air cooling too but that one might be a little bigger, can't remember the dimensions.

The era 2 doesn't have glass panels so it's not like you're ever going to see the pumps or cables. But you can still make it look tidy with a little cable management. My pumps and psu cables are all running and fastened along the psu mounting bracket so it's easy to slide the case open and access the ram/cpu/ssd or run the blower across the fans/interior when cleaning without having to fight any cables.

The economy is completely intact; everything is fine.
The problem is the financial world and its returns - aka the Ponzi scheme - which no longer works. The only thing that kept it alive was population growth and decoupling from the real economy.
Capitalism is good, financial capitalism is evil because it drains capital from the real economy.
And this whole mess began in the 1970s with the “deregulation of the capital market” because those who profited from colonization could no longer maintain their standard of living after losing their colonies.

>>108833400
yeah i agree
but i don't think NVIDIA's linux drivers will improve any time soon

AMD on linux works because the code is integrated with the rest of the kernel
with NVIDIA it's essentially their windows code base + a thin compatibility layer, it's a lazy approach that other manufacturers ditched over 10 years ago
but i'm sure it saves them a few cents per card

You don't need 64GB for gaming, 32GB is enough.
No need for a 5080 unless it's only little more than a 5070Ti in your place.
Asus AIO cooler is a stupid waste of money, get an ALF3 Pro.
A 850Watt PSU would do unless you plan upgrades.

You could easily save a thousand to fifteen hundred gold pressed latinum and still get the same gaming experience.

I know there are a bunch of oled schizos in here, are you following the LG G6 "drama"?

also ssds begin to decay the moment you cut the power

I don't like x3d, but intel is an "over my dead body" shit. just never and no. I will start screaming and throwing poop. Absolutely NO.

the reality? cpu speed matters nothing when it comes to gaming
cache is king
memory timings is prince
and that's all
the 5800x3d to 9800x3d jump is mostly irrelevant at 4k because both chips have the same 3dvcache pool of 64mb
zen6 is going to have a little more cache because it has more cores but don't be fooled, it still has the same 64mb of extra cache
zen 7 is when the time is right to upgrade, it's when they'll finally expand the extra cache layer, that will bring the real gayming upgrades, it'll finally be time (maybe) to upgrade from the 5800x3d

so, I went to >>>/wsr/1565480 and posted my specs and asked for some guidelines on what to choose as a upgrade (I want to build a new pc) wich would have a good cost/performance relation without being too expensive. For example the Core i9-14900KS seems to be 4 times the price of the Core i5-14400F, but have around 25% better performance, so I think that might not be worth it.
For now these are my tentative choices:
Intel Core i5-14400F
Intel Core i7-14700KF (it's double the price than the i5 and around 20% better performance)
I'm biased agains't AMD due personal reasons, so most likely would go for intel again, and I was wondering which combination of motherboard/GPUwould be good to go with there, to take from there which would be more convenient for me.

>any b860 or z890 board that is on sale cheap
that's kind of what I did last time, it was like half the price of the "gamer motherboards" of that time, but as I said, it couldn't fit my GPU correctly and blocked another port, and also I think it may be the reason why my wifi card got fried (the heat sink was right besides the card circuits, and I think it overheat it).
I want something that might not cause these issues again if possible.

Also thank you, for now I'm not sure how good these "ASUS" are. I read some news where they had issues and many cards were getting burned due some BIOS problem which "got patched" but also got some legal notice that if you "used the patch to fix the issue" you'd lose the guarantee of the card.

yeah, no in built video signal out due to it not working during chip validation so they fuse it off and sell it cheaper because its really only useful for office box and noobs who can't diagnose a motherboard without video out.

Does this mean... they are the same but just "open so you can overclock them under your own risk"?
I don't plan to do any overclocking, so would the other option be better or worse for me?

Also what does these
>Thermal Management
>TDP
>TDP (PL2)
means?
My little knowledge tells me it may mean I'd need way better ventilation for the K one (but not sure if I have to overclock it myself for that).

>>108835751
well you don't have to overclock if you don't want to, just leaving it at stock will have it run at stock.
it is just a matter of cost, whichever is the cheaper between the K and non K version.

>>108835785
but is the benchmark showing the results as stock or overclocked?

>>108835788
those are both stock

Greetings to 2023

I'm still using ddr3 ram...
can someone give me a summary of the difference between ddr4 and ddr5 in performance?
I already saw that ddr5 is way more expensive (a 32gb being more expensice than a good CPU).

>>108835892
the difference can be 5% fps loss in game, varies between games and types of cpus used, what hz ram

on am5 if you use an x3d cpu you can get away with slightly worse ddr5 ram because x3d helps, but on non-x3d amd cpus or intel chips you lose more fps with worse ram

The bigger difference can be that people typically had 16gb ddr4 and they upgraded to 32gb ddr5 which helps avoid issues.

>>108835906
I'm on 16gb ddr3 atm, I saw a 32gb ddr4 being half the price of a 32gb ddr5 of the same brand.
not sure what this SODIMM, DIMM or UDIMM means yet.
What I noticed is the ddr4 being 3200MHz and the ddr5 5600MHz, I'm guessing it's almost "double" and so the price, but I may be wrong on that.

what's the current q6600/2500k

>>108835929
am4 is pretty dead as platform since amd hasnt released new x3d cpus for it

typically there isnt much to think about, just buy 32gb 6000mhz cl 30 ddr5 and move on. Now its a guessing game of will prices go down soon or never

>>108836002
how long until it's under 50$ or free e-waste

>>108836029
10 years

>>108836055
tnx, added the event in my google calendar

>>108835487
so after all the answers, I think I understand a bit more on how the components are.
For now I'll evade the K, and F processors. I don't want to have to buy the heat sink separately, and may install the GPU later. I'm thinking about the i5 and i7
https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_i5_14600-vs-intel_core_i7_14700
sadly none of them are currently available on my country, nor for shipping atm to my area.
I'm not completely sure in which order I should pick my components. For now I think I'll pick the CPU first, then the motherboard for it and then the GPU and ram. I'm not sure which limits these CPU have for ram type. Last time I had to check the "bus" to see the limit of the Hz it could handle from the ram and such.

>>108836083
thank me in 10 years as i'll probably still be posting here

>>108836100
you're very optimistic to believe there is private PC building in 10 years. Or we'll be merged with the chink shit general.

Just give me a job so I can move to a permanent residence, wage slave a bit, buy top end hardware, relax, then I will reconsider my plans again
I just need to relax

>>108836193
how would you relax while being employed and having to spend most of your time working, going to work and back, maintain your ability to work with buying groceries and exercising etc. while not saying anything online that would look bad for your employer and worshipping jews by voting for american political parties?

>>108836209
way easier to go and wageslave and know you are getting money every month instead of relying on social services or something else to rape me every month and never having money to eat or consume anything else constantly penny pinching and just living in anguish

don't post anything online

not american so that is not a problem

where im coming from waging is relaxing in comparison

What should I buy to build a 1000€ (Germany) or less for a small form factor PC for playing 4k films? I'd like SSDs or Nvme if I can afford it but not HDDs.

>>108836096
>ssd
I forgot about the hard drive...
anything I should take into account for the ssd?

thanks, amd

What is your budget? You might as well get the Intel 200 CPUs (Arrow Lake) if you're buying DDR5 memory.
This is the Arrow Lake build, you can upgrade to the 270K if you want.

It makes no sense to buy costlier Raptor Lake refresh chips (14th gen) anymore.

>>108835820
Poor value for money upgrade, especially since that 4070 Super will be the performance bottleneck.
If you're on AM4, get a 5600, 5700X, or 5800XT and a 3200MT/s CL16 memory kit.

>>108836667
>Intel Core Ultra 5 250K Plus
Dang... I didn't even know something like these existed, for me the "i-something" were the only option, thank you for the info.
What's the difference with the i5 and where can I get more info about these?
