Not sure about this being much of a deal.

Motherboard
CPU
RAM

Total is £490; the RAM price was over £200 on amazon so maybe the prices were just elevated a good while ago or they're moving old stock, either way it's been sub £100 all round the web for months now which is where I assume the bulk of the "30% off" comes from. Convenient amazon price history link here

I guess it comes pre-assembled and thus presumably ready to work without flashing the bios for a £30 premium.

3 year warranty is nice too I guess.

I didn't shop around at all though so you can probably find better deals than just double checking the component costs vs amazon.

Hope I didn't miss anything very obvious.

thats a pretty badass bday present!

i have a genuine question tho, and not necessarily aimed at OP. Why do i see so many builds using the ryzen APU with a graphics card as well? is there a benefit to it? i understand builds that start with it and add a gpu later, but if you're buying it all at once would it not be better to grab a 2600 instead? (or a 1600 if its the R3 apu)

questions aside. congrats! im sure he'll remember building it fondly for the rest of his life.

​

edit: fair points all around! so if its the 2200 it makes perfect sense for best performance at price point. however if its a 2400 then you might as well have gotten a 2600 especially with them being 149 at walmart and amazon right now = https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yW0yCbK60C89B

Would it not be more worth to just get ryzen 3600 for 10$ more?

>so i expect 9900k to be priced minimum 150-180% more than 2700x.

In what country? TPU writes mostly for an US audience.

9900K - $530 on Amazon

2700K - $295 on Amazon

So the price difference is 80% in US, so TPU messed up even in US where the prices are close to MRSP.

In Germany, sure, the prices are inflated but they should drop down to MRSP in 1-2 months.

9900K - €700

2700X - €318

In Germany the difference is 120%.

Intel doesnt make that cpu anymore, its not up to Intel, ask retailers.

​

And to answer it, because people pay for it for upgrades.

​

For most things the 3600 is a sidegrade from a 7700k, but yeah id get the 3600 instead.

​

Would you buy an fx8350 for $210?

This builds totals up to approximately $475 before taxes and rebates. This will handle a moderate amount of AutoCAD, coding, virtualization, and rendering. The system runs on a six-core processor with SMT. The build also comes with an appropriate mid-tier GPU. It meets the 4GB VRAM requirement for the AutoCAD application as well as DX11 and DX12 support. Also, a 500GB HP NVMe SSD was also included for quick boot, load, save, and transfer times while only costing $45. The motherboard is also a great B450 motherboard, with space for possible overclocking or boosting. 16GB of RAM clocked at 3000MHz is also included for a better AutoCAD experience. The CX650W is a reputable power supply from Corsair. It is not modular, but its quality is above average for this price point. Finally, to seal everything off, the Masterbox Lite 3.1 was chosen for the case. This case has decent aesthetics and efficient airflow for a sub-$50 mATX case. Do note that this takes advantage of the Newegg Black Friday sales, so prices may change. If you need a new build list close to the date of purchase, one can be provided.

Laptop Option: https://www.newegg.com/black-msi-gl-series-gl65-9sc-004-gaming-entertainment/p/N82E16834155299?Item=34-155-299&Tpk=34-155-299&cm_sp=2019-_-BlackFriday-_-Eflyer-_-34-155-299

This is $100 over budget per unit, however, it gives the systems more portability. The MSI Laptop will not have the same degree of performance as the tower systems, but will still meet or exceed requirements for AutoCAD and other cyber and design related tasks.

This HP Prebuilt is the best I can come up with near $500/unit.

https://www.amazon.com/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-5-580-1TB/dp/B07JJ1ZFKH/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=hp+pavilion+desktop+rx&qid=1574378943&s=electronics&sr=1-6

This is similar to the DIY build, just 8GB instead of 16GB of RAM. (You can easily find an extra 8GB stick for like $30.)

Hope everything goes well.

Shipped and sold by Amazon. Obviously not a "sale" price, but it's better than the gouging that the other sellers have been doing. Currently showing Tuesday (Prime) delivery so this would technically be considered a backorder but it's showing expected restock tommorow based on the buying choices page. I've been watching these like a hawk for myself so I hope this helps someone out!

Amazon is selling it at the same price. 169.99

Have an upvote, some people don't know and that's fine. So I'll explain.

Gigabyte 980 Ti = GPU(grapics card), it handles the graphics of the game, OP was asking how much vram or memory his graphics card needs.


i7 6700k # 4.0ghz CPU(Central Processing Unit) It does what it sounds like, processes all computations for your computer other than gpu. The 4.6ghz means he overclocked it making it go faster.


With that being said, the CPU he used is the latest generation CPU, not necessarily the most expensive or fastest, but pretty close. His GPU is a tier below the best you can get in terms of gaming GPU's for now(close to every year something better and faster gets released). So in short, he's got close to the best you can get for gaming and in all probably cost close to or over $2000. It's what we call and Enthusiast build, it's better then probably 80%(I'm guessing) of what other PC gamers are using.


He mentions he is getting an average of 30FPS which means 30 frames per second. This is what most gamers consider the bare minimum of frames to play games enjoyably without stutter or the picture freezing. Ideally gamers prefer 60FPS or higher, but as this game(with his mod and ULTRA settings) demands quite a bit out of the hardware(GPU, CPU ect) it is unable to achieve that and plays at a playable 30Fps.

TL;DR: He's got close to the best hardware you can get.

It's actually only $20 off if you look at other vendors like newegg or amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D/


(but oh my god -$100 for a deal #IgnoreThisLine)

where do you live because on Amazon it's £5 more.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-8-Core-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B41717Z

Forget about the i5 for $20 more, at $160, you can go for the Ryzen 5 2600 for a mere $6 more.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/

Unless you don't need a GPU at all or you do need a GPU but you just need GT 1030 level graphics, the Ryzen 5 2600 is the way to go in my opinion.

Might want to double check the price on the 3900x
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3900X-24-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SXMZLP9

GLWS

Just my opinion, I am no expert, but these seem like the best choices as they are popular, and consideration how much work it would take to design them.
Also check the most popular on Amazon, Newegg and PC part picker.

CPUs from one socket look almost the same right?
So a LGA 1151 and AM3+ CPUs.

For RAM, classic PCB with black chips, maybe another one with a very simple heatspreader in different colors, as it would take quite a lot of work to create realistic heatspreaders for little benefit IMO.

Any HDD, they all look similar.

For SSDs, Samsung are the most popular and very simple to do.

Three most popular CPU coolers prolly are CRYORIG H7, Hyper 212 EVO, and Corsair H100i, maybe with addition of a single fan AIO like Corsair H55.

GPUs are tougher:

• definitely MSI twin frozr, they use them for most cards
  
• ASUS new strix
  
• Gigabyte G1 Gaming as for 1070 and 1080 and Windforce for smaller cards
  
• EVGA hates you, it seems like they have a different design for every card, but the most popular for enthusiasts could be ACX 3.0 used with 1070 and 1080
  
  Motherboards and cases: the hardest parts to pick, almost every one part is completely different from the other.

$230 on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-thread-processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

Same exact price on Amazon, would definitely rather buy it there even if it has taxes.

2700X is also on sale for 344.99

Likewise, they don't list it in their Amazon entries either:

• AMD YD170XBCAEWOF Ryzen 7 1700X Processor - has XFR listed
  
  
• AMD YD180XBCAEWOF Ryzen 7 1800X Processor - has XFR listed
  
  
• AMD YD1700BBAEBOX Ryzen 7 1700 Processor - no XFR listed

Also same price on Amazon

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i9-9900K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B005404P9I

Works for me. Maybe they're acting off similar info as Newegg, and they're getting multiple thousand units on Friday. Either this is a paper launch... or it it's just delayed a week. We'll know Friday.

The eligible resellers are:

Amazon.com*<br />
Micro Center Computers &amp;amp; Electronics<br />
Newegg.com*<br />
```<br />
Yes, it also says it is eligible for Canadians (except Quebec), BUT that doesn't necessarily mean Amazon.ca and Newegg.ca. The 1700 and 1700X listed on amazon.com do ship to Canada, for example.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, if you go to the US listing for the 1700 and 1700X, it shows the rebate form listed, i.e. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1700BBAEBOX/dp/B06WP5YCX6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;qid=1525291567&amp;amp;sr=8-1&amp;amp;keywords=1700<br />
... whereas the Amazon.ca doesn't show this.<br />
<br />
<br />
TLDR; non-Quebec Canadian residents are likely eligible, BUT you may have to purchase through the US websites with international shipping to Canada. I think they could deny you the rebate if you purchase through Amazon.ca or Newegg.ca.<br />
<br />
=== UPDATE ===<br />
I emailed AMD Promos.<br />
<br />
My email:<br />
&amp;gt;I see the current AMD promo for the 1700 and 1700X. I am Canadian. It says that Canadian residents are eligible (excluding Quebec), and lists &quot;Amazon.com&quot; and &quot;Newegg.com&quot; as eligible resellers. Does Amazon.com include Amazon's Canadian subsidiary, Amazon.ca? And does Newegg.com include Newegg's Canadian subsidiary, Newegg.ca? Or do I (as a Canadian) need to purchase through Amazon.com with international shipping to Canada to use this promo?<br />

I'll pick one up now :) thanks

doesn't seem like the 2400g is up yet though

Also on Amazon if you want to save on shipping

Or Newegg, also free shipping

E: except the exclusive price is actually 209... If you need one shipped refer to those links

All I can say is I have a 2700x for a year and a half now and i am impressed with it... this price is a pretty decent price for 8c/16t at 4.3ghz

You can find it cheaper on amazon at £193

I will confess to being an AMD fan up front. But for cheap 1080p gaming I don't think you can beat the Ryzen 3 2200G Processor with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics . That gets you onto the AM4 platform which AMD has committed to supporting till 2020, which means if things improve financially, major room for CPU upgrades will exist.
​

Check out a full playlist of various games tested on the 2200G processor right here: Ryzen 3 2200G Benchmarks.

Below the historic low on amazon. Damn, now this is a deal. Nice find!

Still satisfied with my $275 R5-1600 but at these prices, would probably have bought the r7 instead.

1700 -$25 Below historic low
1700x - Equal to historic low
1800 - $75 Below historic low

I got you:

https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B01MXSI216?qid=1494013404&m=A1VPEJV7O66L91&sr=1-0&ref_=pn_sr_sg_0_img_A1VPEJV7O66L91

This is actually kind of dangerous...

Same on Amazon with same day for major regions and Prime.

I would like to second some of the other people here.


Despite knowing this is the Intel subreddit, since you have to replace your motherboard anyways, you might find it worthwhile instead looking at AMD's Ryzen platform. A 2600 ($15 cheaper), 2600X (same price as the 9400f) or 3600 ($50 more) may prove a more worthwhile buy.


It would help more to know exactly what your usecase is, but, going for Ryzen should be the correct choice in the price range of that 9400f in more circumstances than the 9400f would be. Also take into account that the Ryzen CPUs are all unlocked and may be overclocked whereas only K-SKU's on Intel may be.


I hope that this gave you some more insight!

Still depends on your specific workload.The 3600 is a solid choice but overall I would recommend the R7s especially the 2700 for only $186. And if your budget allows get the 3700x it's definitely worth it . Again check the benchmarks for your specific workload.

Wait, you bought an i3-8100 7 days ago for $130?! Or last year? Not that it'd be any better.

With all due respect dude, you got what you deserve for not properly researching. For the same price or a tiny bit more this year you could've gotten:

Ryzen 5 2600X = £119

Ryzen 7 1700 = £126 (used)

Probably loads of used 4th/5th gen i7's that'd blow the 8100 out of the water for the same price.

Apparently Amazon's chat-based customer support likes to play the same agent shuffle that most telephone CS services do. Anyway, below is the transcript of my conversation with them. I don't know if they received any stock initially, but as of now it seems we're stuck waiting for them to receive stock from Intel.

​

>Me: I would like to check the status of the Intel i9-9900k item I pre-ordered on Oct. 8th. The status for this item previously showed the item would release or arrive by the 19th of this month, and now there is no estimate of delivery.
>
>You are now connected to Sanju from Amazon.com
>
>Sanju: Hello, my name is Sanju. I'm here to help you today.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Let me look into it for you.
>
>Me: Thank you
>
>A Customer Service Associate will be with you in a moment.
>
>You are now connected to Elizabeth from Amazon.com
>
>Elizabeth: Hola me llamo Elizabeth como estas?
>
>Me: Hello Elizabeth, do you speak English, as I do not know Spanish.
>
>Elizabeth: I will tranfer to retail in English
Ok?
>
>Me: Thank you
>
>Elizabeth: Have a nice day.
>
>Me: You as well.
>
>A Customer Service Associate will be with you in a moment.
>
>You are now connected to Mohd Aquil from Amazon.com
>
>Mohd Aquil: Hello, my name is Mohd Aquil. Please give me a moment to review the previous correspondence.
>
>Me: Hello Mohd Aquil, Thank you.
>
>Mohd Aquil: You are welcome.
Please confirm, Are you referring shipment of this item?
Intel Core i9-9900K Desktop Processor 8 Cores up to 5.0 GHz Turbo Unlocked LGA1151 300 Series 95W
>
>Me: Yes sir, that is correct.
>
>Mohd Aquil: Thank you for the confirmation.
Please allow me couple of minutes to check the details for you.
>
>Me: Thank you.
>
>Mohd Aquil: Thank you for waiting, I appreciate your patience.
I have checked and found that this item is out of stock, Once this item will be available in stock then it will be ship on priority.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005404P9I?th...(See full link)
Also, I have checked and found that this item was out of stock when you have placed the order.
No estimated delivery date was generated as it was not available in stock.
>
>Me: Yes, the item was a pre-order so no stock would have been available at the time of purchase. Originally, the product page stated that the item would release and ship on Oct. 19.
>
>Mohd Aquil: [Me], This item not provided yet to Amazon by the manufacturer, Once it will be provided by the manufacturer then it will ship to you with high priority.
>
>Me: I see. Is there any estimate as to when the stock will arrive from the manufacturer?
>
>Mohd Aquil: [Me], Manufacturer not provided any estimated date yet, However once they will informed us then we will send a notification email for the same.
>
>Me: Alright. Thank you for your help, Mohd.
>
>Mohd Aquil: You are welcome.
Is there anything else I can assist you with today?
>
>Me: Not today, thank you.
>
>Mohd Aquil: You are welcome.

EDIT2: Só como referencia: iMac i7 comprado pelo governo, segue o baile comparando com o PC montado e este meu comentario US$1.200,00 de diferença.




O preço do iMac é exagerado até la fora: iMac top de linha i5

Quem entende de computadores sabe que você monta um PC MELHOR por um preço bem menor: Top de linha no MINIMO 5x mais forte, e o mesmo preço. Na verdade, um exagero, porque montei com as melhores peças no mercado atualmente. Poderia até ter poupado mais e aproveitado o quad-channel do ram na placa mãe, que seria melhor e mais barato, só quis ser overkill.

Os produtos Apple são overpriced em QUALQUER mercado, só ver a linha de ultrabooks deles por 2k dolares e os concorrentes pelo mesmo valor (Razer Blade).

EDIT: link talvez tenha problemas, então eis os itens:

• CPU
  
  
• Placa
  
  
• GPU
  
  
• RAM
  
  
• PSU
  
  
• Cooler
  
  
• Case
  
  
• Monitor 4k
  
  
• SSD
  
  
• HDD
  
  Somando US$2.100,30

Just want to give an alternative, much cheaper option that will perform very well and within touching distance of all the games you've listed.
Source. They test it against the i5-9600K. Which is again very close to the i7-9700K in gaming which is suggested by /u/aleks_1999 as can be seen here.

The warning that it needs a BIOS upgrade can be ignored. MSI their "MAX" motherboards are out of the box ready for Ryzen 3000 series.

The price is set by the retailer and then we get a percentage of the sale if you make the purchase. The price is the same on the retailer as an affiliate link.

For example:

Direct Amazon link for an R6 2600 $149.99: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/

It's £299.99 on Amazon. Free delivery I assume.
Edit: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-3700X-Processor-Cache/dp/B07SXMZLPK/

It says delivery takes 1-4 weeks though.

Do you guys think it's going to get cheaper or should I just take the plunge?
I'm waiting for MSI's MAX motherboards next month.. so not going to be able to use the 3700x for a while.

Try this link, it will show a higher price because it’s cached and it’s an old page but you can add it to your basket and it will show the lowered price !

Edit: Even these links don't work anymore. You can only now purchase if you had the item saved in your basket.

Hey p_orsk,

So glad to hear that we have another HomeLabber in our midst. I just thought I would take a minute and share with you my current build that has suited me very well. It is completely silent and power efficient, while still powerful enough to do what you want plus more. My build was also built to be small profile so this build is built around a Micro-ITX case. This build cost me $500 in the US in 2017, don't quite know what the price would be now.

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler
  
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME A320M-K AMD Ryzen AM4 DDR4 HDMI VGA M.2 USB 3.1 Micro-ATX Motherboard
  
• PSU: EVGA 430 W1, 80+ WHITE 430W
  
• RAM: HyperX FURY Black 16GB Kit (2x8GB) 2133MHz DDR4
  
  As I said, this build should be completely silent. I went into the BIOS settings and turned it on Power-Saver mode for good measure, which makes things run a bit warmer, but keeps fan speeds down.
  
  I didn't list storage here, as it sounds like you got that covered. This motherboard also supports M.2 if you want to add that later.
  
  If I can make one suggestion, I would highly recommend getting into Virtualization. My poison of choice is Proxmox. I could really get into this, but it really helps when you are trying to expand.
  
  If you have any other questions, feel free to comment on this post, or shoot me a DM. I would be happy to help!
  
  [EDIT] This is just my experience. You will get 110 different answers from 100 different people in this world. You kinda just have to tinker to get what works for you.

Yuh, you can get it here

Is it a great price though? Amazon is listing it at 185,88$ regular price. (164,99$ right now)

I think this is slightly below MSRP and according to Camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest it's been on Amazon: https://ca.camelcamelcamel.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600-12-thread-processor/product/B07STGGQ18

just to be clear, TSMC and AMD have stated they are not wafer supply constrained . . . i realize this is a popular theory based on 3900x being constantly sold out and TSMC stating lead times increased from 2months to 6 months for 7nm capacity. But AMD very likely is not supply constrained at TSMC. Increasing supply of a single SKU can take time, anywhere from 2-4 months. so we should start to see increase supply of 3900x about now.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3900X-24-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SXMZLP9

It is even possible AMD could still be lite on 3900Xs and will still need to increase production again from here. But it is not a strong indicator that they are short on wafers IMO.

Amazon has it for the same price: https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428V2L

The two logical choices are the Ryzen 5 2600X or Intel Core i5-9400F. However since the motherboards for AMD's CPUs tend to be less expensive than those for Intel's, I'd get the Ryzen 5 2600X.

If you also need to get the motherboard and RAM from Amazon, here's a couple suggestions:

Here is a thing that a lot of people seem to be missing out. Your CPU doesn't support higher speed RAM sticks. It supports dual channel at 2667MHz MAX. So you need a CPU that can support higher speed, because AMD LOOOOOOOOOVES RAM. Your motherboard supports up to 3200 MHz OC. The second thing is that you need two exactly matching sticks in order to get the most of your dual channel.

So my suggestion if you are on a budget (because everything else you have seems good) is to do this:

1. Change your CPU to a Ryzen 5 2600 (or 2600X) - there are a lot of great deals right now ( https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48 ). This CPU supports up to 3000MHz dual channel RAM and has better processing power than the one you have.
   
2. Buy the exact same 8GB or 16GB RAM stick you already have - make sure they are exactly the same. Even though 32GB is going to be overkill at least you will get the most of your dual channel. IF you can't find anything then get a 2x8GB or 2x16GB kit @ 3000MHz.
   
3. Sell the CPU and the left-over ram stick to get some money back.
   
   N.B. Do not add the extra RAM into your matching kit on the board. You will jeopardise dual channel.
   
   Good luck and don't forget to update your drivers

>At the start of this current generation there were tons of options to build computers that would cost less then the xbox one and ps4 but would still out perform them.

I'll be basing most of what I say on this article talking with Mark Cerny (the lead architect, so no rumours) about the PS5 specs.

We already know that the PS5 will be a custom Zen 2 8 core chip based on Ryzen 3rd gen with a custom Navi graphics chip that has ray-tracing support.

We also know this is coming in November 2020 a full year from now.

Lisa Su (AMD CEO) just announced Ryzen 4xxx chips coming early 2020, so by the time these consoles release they'll already be a cpu generation behind. Kind of like the Xbox One and PS4 were at launch, systems in 2013, that were based on 2012 laptop stuff.

So if you look at the price of a 2700x right now (one gen behind what's current), an 8 core chip, it's $189, that's like 43% below it's original release price of $329.

I'd wager that before these consoles drop, we will also see a Navi based card from AMD that supports ray-tracing, if they're doing it for consoles it's a no brainer.

>I would expect the ps5 and xbox scarlett to cost 500 at the max and they should be able to run 4k 60 fps on all their games.

That's a big assumption since nobody has discussed price, but lets tackle resolution.

Console 4k /= PC 4k. Consoles use all sorts of tricks including running at low/medium equivalent pc settings, scaling from 1800p to 2160p, and checkerboard rendering, which basically means they're only rendering half of the pixels - here's an example from Gears 5.

The Navi chips that come in these new consoles will be mid tier equivalents, and will need any helping hand they can get, even subsidized at $500, they will simply not be bleeding edge tech.

---

it's 1am here, I don't think I can be bothered to finish this essay. If you turn the detail down, run at 1800p, and had checkerboarding available on PC, you could run "faux k" on a $169 AMD Radeon 580 that would be equivalent to an XB1X. It will be the same by the time the new consoles come around.

The 3400G has no point in favour(except the useless in that case integrated gpu)compared to the old 2600/2600X and costs very little less.

For the motherboard go with the AORUS B450M, still micro-atx but with better vrm section and 4 dimm slot.

For the ram go with the 3200Mhz, the price is not so different from the 3000mhz and in the ryzen 2xxx the frequency of the ram is never enough. This one go without any problem at 3200mhz in all the 4 dimm slot(in many MB it slow down when you use all of them).

https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-HyperX-HX432C16PB3K2-16/dp/B01GCWQ8VO/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=HX432C16PB3K2%2F16&qid=1566548905&s=gateway&sr=8-2

For the ssd go with a NVME one, not a simple and slower sata-on-m2 like the one you linked, this is good and immensely faster than a m2-sata one.

I'd agree. I'd consider just spending an extra $29 for a 2200G, avoid any issues you may run across with not-up-to-date-enough BIOS versions, and get better integrated graphics.

Assuming the Vega 3 in the new 3000G is similar to the one in the 200GE (just with officially unlocked clocks), TechPowerUp's database puts the Vega 3 at about a third of the performance of a Vega 8. In their review of the 200GE, it sits somewhere around 45% of the framerate of the 2200G at 720p and 1080p. I don't think any amount of overclocking of the 3000G can make up that difference, and if you can, you'd likely need to upgrade the heatsink on the 3000G, for which you'd likely be spending more than the price difference.

The only real use case I see for the 3000G is if low power consumption is a specific need, at which point, I'd have to see the benchmark numbers comparing the 200GE and/or 240GE and the 3000G (they could have shown those in their marketing slides but didn't) to see if there is really much of an improvement. Sure, the 3000G is overclockable, but if you're going for low power consumption, you're likely not going to be overclocking, thus ignoring one of its primary selling points over something like the 240GE. Not that it matters much anymore, since I don't think any of the locations have it in stock anymore, but the Athlon 240GE was $50 at Microcenter (the 200GE is $40). 240GE: 3.5GHz Base, Vega 3, 35W TDP. So, basically, a price cut, without calling it a price cut?

I'm more on the "70 bucks is not worth it, the 2200g is just too good " side of the fence, and i'm glad that the prices here in germany are reflecting that. I think 50% more for SMT is totally justified.

2200g 96€

2400g 149€

Those chips are amazing.

Pretty good price if you want a unlocked i5.

/u/JetJaguar124 /u/Integralds

So first thing's first, Windows: ~$130 for Home Edition.

Okay, so things to keep in mind:

1. If you go Intel, overclocking isn't too great on 9th gen intel, especially if you don't have a beefy aftermarket cpu cooler. So if you don't plan on doing that at some point then you don't need a K series CPU and an overclocking motherboard. So your motherboard should primarily focus on giving you decent I/O options.
   
   
2. You also probably want to aim for 1080p or 1440p tops, given your price range.
   
   
3. Related to #1: If you don't plan on overclocking then a basic-ish mobo will do fine, and you mainly want to focus on I/O and other features. If you are getting Intel doubly so, as, as I mentioned before, intel 9th gen doesn't overclock well due to relatively low headroom to begin with. For intel overclocking boards are "Z" while non-overclocking boards are "B". For AMD they are "X" and "B" respectively.
   
   The GPU you should be seeking to use is the 1660 Ti, which is basically a slightly gimped RTX 2060 but without the raytracing stuff. If you are willing to spend a bit more then you could get an RX 5700 instead, which is nearly ~30% faster on average.
   
   That'll put you at $270 - $360 depending on the model you pick. Yes, it's a third of your budget, but the GPU is the single most important part of your build.
   
   Secondly you'll want a decent CPU to go with that.
   
   The Ryzen 5 3600 looks like a pretty good CPU, its a bit under $200, its fairly beefy and extendable so it's somewhat "future-proof" - in that it shouldn't cause much bottlenecking and you could upgrade your GPU past a 2080 Ti before needing to change the processor.
   
   This MSI Tomohawk Mobo looks good for the 3600.
   
   So we're at ~$320 for that, or about $640 total. Plus windows that is ~$730.
   
   The RAM Inty recommended before should be fine. You only really need 16 GB. This will set you back ~$80. If you find yourself wanting more RAM later down the line you can always add another pair of sticks later and double up your RAM.
   
   That puts us at around ~$800.
   
   $80 for a 750W Fully Modular Corsair PSU is basically a steal. It's refurbished though, although that shouldn't be a problem - especially with a PSU.
   
   We're at ~$880.
   
   Some good thermal paste for your CPU.
   
   We're now at ~$890.
   
   Storage depends on what you want to do. Do you install a lot of stuff and files at once? In which case you might want to get a nice sized SSD plus a big HDD.
   
   For your system drive. Plenty of space, good price, AND its an nvme SSD.
   
   That makes for ~$990.
   
   If you need lots of extra space
   
   If you need extreme extra space
   
   Keyboard and case are up to you, decide as you please. For the case just make sure that it can support an ATX mobo, as the mobo listed here is full ATX. Mechanical keyboards are crack, but they tend to be more expensive so they're probably out of range. This will be another $100 to $150 depending on what you pick.
   
   Something to keep in mind though: Your case and your monitors are basically "future proof". In other words, they won't really get "worse" with time or cause future performance issues. So monitors and case are things where you want to consider what you'll eventually want and buy ahead, even if you have to stretch a bit.
   
   This just leaves your monitor. I would NOT recommend a 1080p monitor above 24 in. Honestly, if you can go for a 1440p monitor then do it. I'm a bit of a resolution whore tho, so if 1080p works for you then that's fine. I would also avoid TN panels - they tend to look more washed out, tinny, and have worse viewing angles . . . although they also tend to be a fair bit cheaper than the good panels (namely IPS panels).
   
   I used to own one of these . . . it was vvy vvy gud. This is a relatively artsy monitor, so if color gamut correctness or whatever is important for you for photo or video editing or whatever, then this is a good pick. It's a bit expensive, yeah, but also super gorgeous. It also goes up to 75 Hz. Conversely, get a freesync monitor, and this one is probably good - haven't done much research on it, but Dells are generally pretty good in my experience (my current 4K monitor is a Dell too). Freesync will allow you to basically eliminate screen tearing and will provide a smoother feeling experience because it will even out frame rates better.
   
   One last thing to keep in mind: Shopping around on ebay and other sites can save you a fair bit. My rule of thumb is to never, ever buy sensitive parts like hard-drives, cpus, or motherboards second hand or refurbished. But everything else is fair game. So refurbished GPUs, Monitors, PSUs, Cases, etc. should be fine. Pre-owned? Ehhh . . . that I'm much, much more sketchy on - personally I wouldn't, but that's just me.
   
   So in total it'd be somewhere in the range of $1500 including monitor, OS, case, and keyboard. The system itself is around $1000. But you can perhaps knock off a hundred bucks or two by shopping around and looking for where you can buy these parts cheaper than Amazon.
   
   But again: investing in a good monitor and case can be worth it. It means you won't have to replace it if/when you do upgrade. And worst case scenario you can offload your monitor as a side/secondary monitor when you upgrade your monitor to a new one.

Not sure why shills are down voting you...

Intel list price for 9900k = $449

AMD list price for 3900x = $499

Anyone can purchase a 9900k from amazon right now for $485, which is cheaper than what the 3900x will drop at.

> but since Amazon is going to sell it at $500

Looks like Amazon is $529.99 now. :(

It's a $200 CPU he was saying $500 for everything else besides the 1080. So $500 - $200 CPU is $300 of PSU, Windows, RAM, HDD, Keyboard and Mouse, and a case and not to mention the Warranty that comes with it. It's not a terrible deal

It is. There is a Kaby Lake system I just built sitting in my entertainment center as a HTPC.

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Desktop-Processor-i7-7700K-BX80677I77700K/dp/B01MXSI216/

There's the i7 on Amazon available to purchase right now.

It is already 209.99$ on amazon with free shipping.https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B41717Z/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=ryzen&qid=1574863093&sr=8-4

i7 all day, every day; here is why:

• The performance improvement is only ~7-10% (assuming no throttling)
  
• for $350 you can buy a desktop 8 core/16 threads Ryzen 2700 CPU and blow away 90% of everything short of a $1000 CPU
  
• increased heat output will reduce the lifetime of the chip (heat kills electrics, basically the reaper)
  
• same core/thread count as i7
  
• oh, and the overclocking is a gimmick on a laptop, especially for the XPS cooling system which is only adequate
  
  With all these things in mind (I do a little rendering and editing as well) and I went with a i7 (and saved the $350). I plan to use my desktop for all the big jobs, and the laptop is just a supplement for working while traveling or mobile.
  
  However only a few things would change the scenario. IF the i9 added two cores it would be a different story, unfortunately not the case. If you really need an laptop (for some reason you cant get/have a desktop or render farm) the XPS is probably not the answer, your looking at a Precision 7530 (when it comes out). The XPS is just not designed with long term heavy lifting in mind; can it do it, YES and well, but you have to be willing to accept the limitations (that is were the precision line comes in).
  
  

A diferencia de todo los otros comentarios de acá, te recomiendo irte por un Ryzen:

• Son mas económicos que Intel
  
• Las placas madres del socket AM4 son mas económicas y tienen soporte de socket hasta el 2020 (Es decir si quieres upgradear tu proce no tienes que volver a comprar una placa madre, al menos hasta el 2020)

  ¿Que Ryzen comprar? Depende, en este momento hay varias ofertas porque van a sacar Zen 2 (Que es la arquitectura en la cual se basa Ryzen); por 500 lucas te recomiendo 2 opciones:
  
  
• Ryzen 5 2400G, es una APU, es decir que es un procesador con gráficos integrados, con esta opción puedes ahorrarte la tarjeta de video (Con opción de comprarte una dedicada mas adelante) y ponerle mas lucas a la RAM y un buen SSD.
  
  
• Ryzen 5 2600, lo mejor que puedes conseguir en poder de procesamiento por tus lucas, además que está en oferta. Vas a tener que desembolsar en una Tarjeta de Video eso si, y conformarte con 8GB de RAM y una SSD de 500GB maximo.
  
  
  Si te interesa cualquier de esas dos opciones te puedo armar una cotización con todas las partes (Más rato eso si, estoy redditeando trabajando)

The original build https://builds.gg/builds/true-red-nano-3900

For someone just starting out I think the first, best thing you can do is head on over to https://pcpartpicker.com/list/.

It's a system builder that lists parts, allows you to search through products and price out a virtual build before you start buying.

One good thing is that is check for compatibility between the different parts you choose so you don't run into any trouble. Like if you start off by picking an AMD processor when you go to search for a motherboard it will only list AMD boards (instead of Intel boards) and only boards that work with that chip.

So it's a great resource for first time builders to start getting a better understanding of the parts they need.

As far as MicroCenter it's hands downs the best place to go to buy your CPU & motherboard because of the combo deal. Check their website for some of the other parts you need because they might also offer a discount with those, for things such as SSDs, GPUs, and ram.

But I would also look around (for parts other than your CPU & mobo) on sites like Amazon and Newegg to try and find the best price for your chosen parts.

WARNING: Never buy a monitor from Newegg. Their return policy is garbage, you need to have something like 8 dead pixels for them to do a return. For other items though you can sometimes find good deals.

Also start browsing around on /r/buildapcsales. You'll see some deals but also be sure to read the comments. You'll get on the ground insight from users as to what the good products and the good companies are. I knew nothing about building PCs when I started and I learned almost everything passively just by browsing that sub every day while I looked for deals on parts I needed.

Right now $1500-$2000 can get you a very beefy machine, but there are a lot of choices you're going to have to make as far as what type of machine you want to build.

And I think the first question needs to be do you want to prioritize performance or aesthetics. Now that might sound silly but building your first PC is going to open Pandora's box and once you join the community and start seeing other people's builds there's a good chance you'll find yourself dreaming of having your own glass box with pretty lights one day.

Check out /r/battlestations to see what I'm taking about. You'll see some gorgeous machines there.

Now building a nice looking machine doesn't mean you'll be running a piece of under powered crap, it just means that, staying within a budget, sometimes you'll shave a little off the top in terms of overall performance for something that might make you smile when you look at it. Like spending a bit extra on some 3200Mhz RGB ram modules over some 3600Mhz non RGB sticks. One is faster and cheaper, one is a bit slower and much prettier.

Aesthetics are very important to some people, so ask yourself if you care about that. If you don't that works too! You can put the extra money towards more performance and shove all your shit into a windowless black box that you never have to see.

After that you're going to need to figure out which type of CPU you want, Intel or AMD. The chasm of competition and fanboy-ism that separates these two is as wide as Mac vs PC. Here Intel is Mac and AMD is PC. Intel is the powerful, fancy, over priced company with very good products and some very shitty anti-consumer practices. AMD is the cheeky underdog upstart that does a lot of things better and for much cheaper but also can be plagued with issues.

For someone just starting out I would suggest buying the entry level CPU for the current generation of chips. For Intel I think that would be the i5 9600k (don't quote me on that, I know less about Intel than AMD) and for AMD I would suggest looking at the Ryzen 5 3600x. I'm suggesting the slightly more expensive version of their base model because it comes with a better stock cooler and it's slightly faster right out of the box without having to manually tune it which might be difficult for a beginner.

Now there are more powerful, more expensive CPUs you can buy that have more CPU cores, but mostly these don't really benefit gaming all that much. You're usually much better off spending extra money on on your GPU since that is what is going to power your games.

For GPUs it's a very similar story of competition, except here it's AMD (yes they make GPUs too) vs NVidia. Same story though with NVidia playing the part of Mac. These are a little harder to blindly recommend without knowing more about your build (like what type of monitor you want) but I'll give you three safe options.

• The 1660 Ti ($250-300) An NVidia card, a pretty solid choice for playing games on Ultra settings at 1080p resolution. Frame rates vary by game but expect to see 75-95 FPS consistently. They can also run 1440p but it will be more work, your card will run hotter and louder (because they fans will spin up to keep cool) and average about 50-60 FPS.
  
  
• The 2060 Super. ($400 - $480) Another NVidia card. A lot more card for a lot more money. Great for games at 1080p averaging over 100 FPS and also do well in 1440p around 80 FPS. NVidia cards also have a feature called Ray Tracing which models light and reflections much better than standard and makes everything look very pretty and natural. The problem is it's a BIG performance hit and not many games make use of it right now. It's the technology of tomorrow, not today, so decide if it's worth gettin' in on that early.
  
  
• The 5700 Series. ($370 - $460) Our first AMD cards. This is the brand new line up from AMD, only about a month old. There's the 5700 and the 5700 XT models. 5700 XT is more powerful and typical $50-$60 bucks more, worth it if you ask me, but the 5700 will get you close if you need the savings. These cards will play the shit out of games at 1080p, hitting 130-150FPS easy. When we start talking about monitors you'll hear the magic number 144Hz/144FPS from a lot of enthusiast gamers/builders. This is apparently the Nirvana of frame rates where shit looks butter smooth and it's so orgasmic technically it counts as losing your virginity if you haven't done that yet. Personally I don't get the hype but I have kinda bad vision so I'm not the best person to talk to about that. From AMD you can also look in to the RX 580 and the RX 590 series, which are probably comparable to the 1660 Ti for maybe a little bit cheaper?
  
  Now comes the question of monitors. I did another right up all about monitors that breaks down the basics. It should give you a solid base of understanding a show you the relation between your monitor and you GPU, basically you don't want to spend a whole lot on a fancy monitor that can display a game at 144 FPS if you buy a less expensive GPU that can only run the game at 80 FPS. You also need to decide on size, smaller screens with lower resolution will need less powerful GPUs to get good FPS, larger screens and higher resolutions need something more powerful. Once you start to know more about what you want you can find the sweet spot balance between your monitor and you GPU.
  
  Gonna end there cause I'm sure that's a lot to take in.
  
  Feel to to PM with any questions and enjoy your first build!

Hey, just letting you know that you can currently get a brand new 2600 on amazon for less than your asking price.

As the other guy said $160 with 15% cash back + you get Game Bundle: Get Borderland 3 or The Outer World PC game plus 3 months of Xbox Game Pass as well.

So it's $6 more on amazon basically.

Might wanna decrease the price there buddy, the Ryzen 1700's $259 at the moment and the Crosshair's $179 (w/ rebate). Both go on sale for less regularly.

Edit: $179 Crosshair is non-wifi, wifi edition is actually $245 at the moment

This is not worth the price premium over the Ryzen 7 1700 ($269.99) imo. With the 1700, you get the Wraith Spire which currently has bids up to $57 on eBay. So it's basically $200 less and the only major difference is clock speed out of the box. I would save my $200, and get a nice aftermarket cooler to overclock the 1700 to 1800X levels.

That's pretty good ST performance. The i7-8700k at around 4.7GHz has a CB score of 1447 (MT), 208 (ST).

So a slight dip in single-threaded performance for individual cores but a massive gain in multi-core performance.

I believe they are supposed to be in the same price range so it's definitely a good value in comparison to Intel.

The Russian price is 23,050 Russian Ruble which is approximately $396.46 US Dollar at current exchange rates. Russia automatically includes 18% sales tax on the price. So $396.46 / 1.18 gives us $335.98 without any taxes.

For my area sales tax would be 9.5% so I would have to pay $367.90.

Comparatively an i7-8700k is $349.99 on average. Though Amazon right now has dipped in the past 2 hours to $329.00. I'll just estimate based on both. $383.24 and $360.26 respectively.



AMD Ryzen 2700X(OC 4.4GHz) | Intel Core i7-8700K(OC 4.7 GHz)

MT: 2004 | MT: 1447
Cost(Pre-Tax): $335.98(Estimate) | Cost(Pre-Tax): $329.00-$349.99

Both Amazon and Walmart are currently selling them new for $313.05. Have to pay tax on them though.

> Your CPU and motherboard are 2 generations behind, and nobody wants to buy a 7000 series chip unless absolutely dirt cheap, not when the 8000 and 9000 series exist with 2 more physical cores for almost the same price. Change that to an 8700k for best value.

So, would this CPU work fine?

​

>Asus makes strix motherboards with built in 802.11ac adapters. If you need wifi, just get one of those. Even has a fully repositionable antenna. I have one, works great.

​

And this motherboard?

That's the normal price at Amazon. No tax, and it's available with Prime shipping.

It is an AMD FX-8350, a CPU for computers, which I build.

The i5-4690K is $209.99 on Amazon right now. Either way, the upper end locked Intel chips almost never make sense considering their cost premium over the slightly lower clocked models.

A few tweaks and optimizations here and there however and we can have a CPU/mobo that's overclockable for the future, and twice the SSD space, for only $20 more.

Is there any reason why PCPP randomly doesn't list Amazon prices?

Example:

• PCPP doesn't list the Amazon price for 4690k: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i54690k
  
• Where Amazon clearly does sell it: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPRWB9G
  
  Why is that?
  
  Just started using the site recently and found that odd.

I sincerely hope you didn't pay $377 just for that CPU, because damn son you got ripped off.

You make a fine argument. I'd like to offer a counterpoint. Intel keeps changing the socket.

AMD is on the third generation in the same socket. If you catch a deal on a current gen AMD board, you can move into the next upgrade even cheaper.

AMD is selling on Amazon, and the "Frequently bought together" has a processor with cooler, motherboard, and 16GB RAM listed there is $369. Throw in the storage and video solution from your old Intel system, and your gaming under $400. Even cheaper if you can find a deal on something used.

the ryzen 9 3900x is sold out on Amazon, Best Buy, Newegg

damn.

They are typically 80 over right now though. (580) https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3900X-24-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SXMZLP9/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=3900x&qid=1570032884&sr=8-2

For those who don't want to use Newegg and/or prefer Amazon shipping, the same combo can be found in Amazon for $194.99

Ignore that warning because it's 2018 and you shouldn't be buying a CPU from 2014 anyway.

Not the biggest sale by any means, but I guess it's better than nothing. Ebates is at 1% for Newegg.ca so you can save a tiny bit there too.

$393.74 total after taxes and free shipping. Amazon.ca reduced the price today too, but you're paying both taxes there.

Waiting for big savings on that 2700X or an eBay coupon (Though the 2700X is mysteriously not listed in the Newegg Canada eBay store).

It appears to be available on Amazon now for the same price.

While the $99 Ryzen 3 1200 would get the job done just fine, it could be a bit of a bottleneck if you plan on upgrading your GPU to anything above an RX 580/GTX 1060. For a mere $65 more the Ryzen 5 2600 is a much better choice as far as performance and future proofing go. It would pair quite nicely with any GPU, and won't bottleneck pretty much anything (unless you get something ridiculous like a Titan V, perhaps). As for a motherboard, I've always went with ASUS. The ASUS Prime B350-Plus would be my choice for your price range.

I have the x model. It is amazing. Have mine paired with a 580. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lNMODbRT208JV

Thinking about this vs the 2600. I want to upgrade my gfs PC and I wonder if the $55 difference is worth it. She does lots of design work with illustrator/photoshop/indesign and plays lots of games, but she's got a 60hz monitor and isn't bothered by >60fps. Right now she's using an old FX8350 or some fx8000 series amd card and sometimes she's dropping under 30-45fps playing low-medium settings with her 1060 3gb gpu.

What do you guys think?

That's basically my whitebox. The Sabertooth Rev 2.0 supports IOMMU if you want to pass a PCIe device to a VM (like a video card and usb controller for a virtualized HTPC)

The six port NIC is awesome for adding routing or IP Storage to it.

I feed a SAS controller to my NAS VM and give it 3 NICS for iSCSI/NFS then I use 2 of the other NICS for my other VM traffic, and the last NIC I use for my router/firewall. The 8320 isn't as fast as the 8350 but I just wanted core count. If you're concerned about sound one of the Corsair water coolers (h55 quiet edition) is pretty damn nice.

I5 price is steep... Ryzen 5 2600 is cheaper and better

Is this it? Does it come with the games?

This or the deal on newegg?

There's also this deal.

/u/looncraz is absolutely right. If you want to give the price drop push a little plus, here is something you can also do in the meantime to speed the process. If enough people request again for Amazon to price match ShopBLT, they will likely drop down to $499 like they did a couple days ago. Simply scroll down in the 3900X's Amazon listing to where it says "Would you like to tell us about a lower price?" and submit the information for the ShopBLT listing.

Here it is folks, Ryzen 7 3700X for $299

cpu

RAM ( 16 gigs is HIGHLY recommended )

another mobo If you want, this is just a higher quality version of the other one.

First off, I'd like to confirm that this is your motherboard.

http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4305#ov

If it is, you can see from the page there that the socket is AM3+, so you'll want to find a processor that fits this socket. If you look at pcpartpicker, you can easily find processors that fit these specification.

http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/cpu/#k=4

(hopefully that link works, it should processors that fit the AM3+ socket type, make sure that is checked on the right side of the screen)

Ok, so here comes the recommendation. I highly recommend the 8350, as it is one of the processors that rivals intel's chips most commonly used for gaming. You shouldn't have any problems playing any games on it, as your GPU will most likely be the bottleneck.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YUF6/?tag=pcpapi-20


I'm also inclined to ask the wattage on your power supply, and who the manufacturer is. You wouldn't want to put a more intensive processor and risk everything because of a power supply that isn't adequate. You should be fine, seeing as you currently have a 660 installed, but please do a check to make sure you'll be ok installing a new CPU. I would recommend any power supply made by a well-known manufacturer, above 450-500 watts.

What are you going to do with your PC? If it's just gaming then an i7 is a bit overkill. I'd recommend the FX 8350 with this build and if you want to overclock, I'd recommend the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler. And you're right, it would be a great gift!

Where are you getting the price for that ryzen 2600?

It's £125 just glancing on Amazon.

Hey just so you know, the 2600 is only $129 new with the cooler on amazon...might want to consider lowering it a bit.
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48

the 2600 is availible from amazon for $150:

https://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539755181&sr=8-1&keywords=2600

As someone who has designed many networks for paying customers, I advise you to drop this bad idea.

It can't be done. Phone lines are not part of the Cat N system. Ethernet requires 4 twisted pairs of wires to suppress the noise and cross talk. Phone lines are simply 4 straight wires. The Ethernet connectors are wired in a specific wsy to keep the signals clean.

You would be better off installing a nice mesh wireless system. Install, configure,use & enjoy. Trying to repurpose phone lines will yield unending frustration.

If you choose to roll your own with Cat 5/6 cabele, here is the connector pinout (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=twister_B07G285RYJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1). You should use the T568B pattern for better results. There are a number of guides to designing a proper network.

The 2600 is an excellent, excellent CPU. Easily the best bang-for-the-buck processor available at the moment, at it's regular price of $170. Right now, it's available for $150.

It's also overclockable, while the 8400 is not, which puts it ahead with no contest.

A B450 motherboard is the standard option.

Amazon just dropped it to $234.99

Doesn’t look like any games or game pass included.


AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core, 12-thread unlocked desktop processor with Wraith Stealth cooler. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07STGGQ18/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8XF3DbW9CFDDB

Heads up to everyone who ordered (including me): The listings for the 3800X and 3900X are mixed up. Searching for 3900X pulls up this listing, and searching for the 3800X navs you here where the price is of the 3900X but says 3800X. This is very much a mixup on Amazon's end. No idea how they're going to handle it.

Good luck everyone!

Ryzen 7 2700X on amazon au for $287
https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD270XBGAFBOX/dp/B07B428M7F

I just bought the 2700x from the Amazon deal (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07B428M7F/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Made me finally decide to eventually retire my legendary i5-2500K.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent motherboard+memory for this CPU?

Note: I will be doing slight OC but not go too overboard. I just want to have a good/stable setup that'll last me a few years.

Thank you in advance.

I think it's just an automated system that just pulls the information in from god knows where. A lot of the major hardware summaries on Amazon have massive inaccuracies like these.

Check out this multicoloured Core i7 that runs at 240 volts and only uses 1 watt of electricity:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-BX80684I78700-Core-i7-8700-Processor/dp/B07598HLB4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=intel+i7&qid=1555462828&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Or this 2600x that needs 220 volts and requires one "A" battery:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-YD260XBCAFBOX-RYZEN5-Socket-Processor/dp/B07B428V2L/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ryzen+2600x&qid=1555463687&s=computers&sr=1-1

I'd hate to think that someone who doesn't know better tried to overclock their processor with insane voltages because of the nonsense on the Amazon product listing.

Eh, DDR3 is expensive for what it is, but that's if you buy it new which I wouldn't recommend for this kind of system. An Fx-8350 costs as much as a 2 Gen Ryzan 5 at this point, there really isn't much of a case for building one new. However you can usually find killer deals on second hand sites like shopgoodwill.com. Some of the machines will need repairs (most of the time a hard drives/ssd does the trick) but I've always had pretty good luck with them.

You could also go with a ryzen 2700x based system like u/rtkierke said and that would give you 2 more cores and 4 more threads, just make sure to get fast ram with ryzen to have the best possible experience. Something like this corsair kit or if you wanna keep with RGB you could get this kit

> there is an 8C16T Chip which eats 1/3 less power than the 9900k

Why exactly should I care about this?
I fully appreciate the difference it will make in Laptops where constrained formfactor limits airflow and causes thermal throttling, but it's meaningless in a full sized tower with good airflow or even a microATX with entry level AIO liquid cooling.

(e.g. my OC'd 2700x hits about 60c under torture test. I have plenty of thermal overhead left but can't push the OC higher due to instability)

> while being 400-500Mhz lower than the Intel part

Again meaningless. I don't really care that the IPC under the hood is more efficient to achieve the same result with lower maximum clock. I care that the absolute performance of their product is designed to the exact 9900k plus 1% performance so they can claim "leadership" and price it for $15 more than the Intel Flagship.

If I can OC it to 5 ghz then yes, the 10-15% IPC advantage will be meaningful, but if there's no real overclocking headroom it's not.

>Intel is out of the race for the next few years...

Not really, they're tied for first place. Which is fantastic, and better than it's been in a long long time, but it's not "press F for intel".

Next year we'll see Zen 2+ refresh from AMD with some minor iterative gains, and we'll see 14nm Comet Lake from Intel with... minor iterative gains, and they'll both probably be about the same for absolute performance.

> on par OR better in gaming

Not sure where you're getting "or better" from.

The only benchmarks to date show parity, and those are first-party stage demos which typically need to be taken w/ a lump of salt as best case scenarios.

Your friend may want to revisit that 9900K pricing. They were selling here for $475 or less. Currently $475 brand new at Newegg with Promo. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117957&ignorebbr=1

​

Also $480 at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i9-9900K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B005404P9I/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=9900k&qid=1555759276&s=gateway&sr=8-1

​

$490 has pretty much been the retail sweet spot on these chips for a while now. Prepping for the refresh.

Its back up for $529.

Non mobile version

I've never seen one of these threads, so my build is not new, but I'm game to join in.

Last year, I built this NAS that serves as my Plex machine: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/drop.emily.st/DSC02173.jpg

I built it from

• a barebones Shuttle SZ170R8 system,
  
• added an Intel i7 6700K processor,
  
• a 32 GB of 2133 MHz CL14 DIMM DDR4 RAM,
  
• a Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) M.2 SATA III SSD, and
  
• two WD Red 8TB drives.
  
  I can't remember how much it all ran at the time, but it was something a little over a thousand. I installed CentOS on it, and the hard disk drives are using a ZFS filesystem.

my computer is currently dying (i think) but it's ok i was planning on updating the cup and stuff but if anyone has some advice i'd appreciate it, currently going to go from a phenom II to an i7 and upgrading my tiny ssd to a 500gb because i'm pretty sure half of my issues are coming from low disk space.

but yeah advice and stuff is welcome as i struggle to find stuff to delete from my computer ;=;

CPUs don't really drop in price quickly

What makes your parts so special that we would buy your "like new" over Amazon's "brand new" for the same price? I could just get a brand new 6600K on Amazon for $220.


Intel Core i5 6600K 3.50 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor, Socket LGA 1151, 6MB Cache (BX80662I56600K) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012M8M7TY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_YIS6ybVEJDR40

PSA:
i7-7700k
i5-7600k

This unless you can get a new 2700X for same price.


But have you seen the 2700 for $199? I'd personally go for that over the 3600 purely for mixed use flexibility.

Currently the same on Amazon if anyone prefers that.

Edit Link:
https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B41717Z

Ryzen 7 2700 brand new for $180 or $185 on Amazon

As the saying goes. There's no such thing as a bad product, only a bad price.

For that price, and if I needed all of those threads, I'd get a 2700 instead. Performance will be very similar, except you get the higher IPC, lower latencies, lower power, and included descent cooler with the 2700. With the ability to push it beyond the 1800X's performance, through an OC.

I think a lot of your prices are high.

For example the mobo can be found on amazon for $60 less than your asking and the Ryzen 7 2700 is only 170 new on amazon compared to your $190.

> FX-6350


I am really wondering why you didn't go for an 8320, but it's probably because it's your first build and you're listening to too much of the momentum of advice.

For your specific budget and your system, I think an 8320 would be a lot friendlier in the future, as software is only becoming friendlier to multi-core architecture.

That said, the difference may not be significant enough for you to consider the change. I just feel like the 8320 gets pretty sorely underappreciated in its spot. Then again, I may be biased, since I've got an 8320 in my current machine.

I don't know how much you are willing to spend but a good AM3+ processor is this http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1450884680&sr=1-1&keywords=fx+8350

Only thing I would suggest is the i5 4690k and a R9 280(cheaper and better)

If you're not going to need an amazing CPU (read: gaming only, you're not going to be editing videos 12 hours a day), and you want to overclock, get the i5 4690K. It's cheap on Amazon (here's the link).

If you want amazing performance and still want to overclock, get the i7 4790k. You probably don't need this, but again, if you're editing videos a ton, it would be nice. It is around $270 though.

Your prices are a bit high. That 970 is $90 bnib http://www.amazon.com/MSI-970-GAMING-DDR3-Motherboard/dp/B00LUY72F6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463468879&sr=8-3&keywords=motherboard+am3&refinements=p_72%3A2661618011 and that CPU is only $10 more for bnib http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=psdc_229189_t1_B009O7YU56 I realize you are including shipping but so does Amazon.

So you have two choices.

You can buy an FX 8300 @ $114.99

And learn to overclock.

Or

Buy an FX 8350 @ $155.87

Your motherboard doesn't support something like the FX 9590, too much power.

Even with the the 4Ghz FX 8350, i highly recommend you overclock. These CPUs are 4 years old and they weren't lightning fast to begin with.

Good luck.

Here's a list of the parts.

Total comes out to like 498 or 520$ after tax. If you plan to travel a lot etc... I would stick to a laptop though. Also it has a tiny HD as it's not exactly for someone who uses a whole lot of space.

Chances are the prices will have changed by whenever, but it gives an idea on budget ones.

Save the money? They're within 20 dollars if you get a 3570k

3570k

8350

And that's the K version, the normal version is even cheaper and still better.

If you're looking to save as much money and pull it off as "playable" you're probably looking at replacing the fx6300 with an 8350 + hope you have a PCI-E slot for a USB 3.0 card.

If you have the expansion slot you can do this

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Black-Vishera-Clock-Turbo/dp/B009O7YUF6 - 75 Euros

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Inateck-Superspeed-Ports-PCI-Expansion/dp/B00B6ZCNGM/ - 20 Euros

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-NVIDIA-GeForce-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B01IA9FEOO - 250 Euros.

I'd still recommend getting out of the AM3 CPUs and upgrading, but understand budget constraints suck!

It sounds like it would be worth the upgrade. More games are being optimized for more cores and it really starts to make a difference with newer titles.

   Amazon only has 1 review for 975 to 8350. Newegg has 4. I really hope in the future these reviews would have a field for previous hardware to help gauge where they were coming from.

Just wanted to point out that Amazon has price matched.

That's not a sale, that's the regular price. Amazon always has it for $235 as well:

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-BX80646I54690K/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412829719&sr=8-1&keywords=4690k

It will be viable for high end gaming for probably at least 3-4 years, especially with overclocking now and/or down the line factored in.

If you're building in a few months, wait to buy until like a month or so before. These things tend to get cheaper as tech things do.

Also, the GPU will more often be the limiting factor in your gaming performance. Good luck with your build!

Go Intel 4000 series. 6000 series is too expensive and not much faster (definitely not worth the extra money).

Plus the GTX 970 I picked above ($6659), and the power supply ($865), and Windows ($2015), and your case ($1112) means a grand total of $18,162 plus tax/import tariff.

Seems to be $209.99 at Amazon right now.

Just saying

Because they are not. Let's take the german amazon for example:


4460 200€

6300 120€

Also, "more than double the FPS" show me examples please. Can't argue with someone biased. I'm not trying to say AMD is better, it's just better in budget builds or for people who already have an AM3+ board from previous generations (Phenom X3 X4 for example) and want to upgrade, this was my case and I'm happy with my FX6300 that I bought for 95€ new.

Building a PC (obviously) and getting some mixed results in regards to two different CPU's. I'd like opinions on which ones to choose from.

The Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K was my original choice, but I've had some people try to convince me to get AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300 instead. Obviously there's a big price difference between these two CPU's, but I'm hearing a lot of "intel marks up their prices way too much" and "the amd can do everything intel will do and has two more cores anyway" and other stuff like that which, to me, just sounds like AMD fanboyism trying to discredit the other CPU, but I also admit I don't actually know that much and that they could be right. Also, the fact that there's multiple of them.

So I'd like some input from you guys!

tl;dr: Intel Boxed Core I5-6600K or AMD FD6300WMHKBOX FX-6300

I agree with /u/Condesending_Android , you can try to go for a newer FX-6300. It's actually slightly cheaper right now on Amazon

The rest looks good, although you may be able to find a cheaper 7870 Ghz if you look around (there were some sales before, but I'm not sure if they are still going on). Unless you really prefer the XFX version, then by all means go for it :)

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YORK/?tag=pcpapi-20

fx-6300, same price

Not bad but I have two suggestions.

1. Go with an FX-8320 instead for $10 more as it's nearly twice as fast as the A10-6800K and has 4 additional cores for editing.
   
   
2. Go with an R9 270 instead of two 7770's. It's slightly faster and won't have issues with games that aren't well optimized for crossfire. If you need more power down the road, then you can add an additional card.
   
   One last note (and this is entirely personal preference) but check out swan speakers. I have these and they are the most impressive $130 desktop speakers (or any speakers) I've ever owned. Paired them with a Xonar ST and they blow me away everyday. They also have higher quality sets at ~$170, $250, and higher that sound even better.

I'd do something like upgrade the processor to an FX-8320 and the video card to a 260X. This would put the total cost of upgrading at $240. Here's a comparison of the 4300 and the 8320, and here's what the 6850 looks like against the 260X.

However, if this build is mostly for gaming you'd probably be better off putting your whole budget towards a video card. The 4300 and the 8320 perform almost identically in games. You could get a 270, 270X, 7870, or even a GTX 760. Any one of those cards would be a huge improvement over the 6850 and you can find them as low as ~$180 for the 270 to ~$230-$250 for the 760.

That's very interesting, I have the GTX 970 and I don't seem to have any problem with the games. I wonder if the CPU one has also has some weight in the equation. I'm currently using an AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz and really getting a lot of bang for the buck.

The video card I have is the EVGA GTX 970 FTW.

I haven't had any issues with juddering, dropped frames or performance in general and I think I probably have the the lowest end of a system based on requirements. I'm also not overclocking any of my components. Make sure you also turn off unnecessary services, use the performance monitor to see what's taking up most of your processor time. Antivirus software is probably the worst offender or the Windows Indexing service.

You mentioned Battlefront which does play around with the 8 cores of a 8000 series chip. Im pretty sure you will see substantial improvements. If you are in the states:

a 8320 for 100. Pretty much a steal.

For £120 I can't look past the 8320

counterpoint

There is one used on amazon for $173 but a new one is only $187 with free shipping on both.

These coupons are literally not worth it UNLESS you can't be asked to wait for online shipping or you are purchasing way above the coupon minimum.


Lets take a look at their Ryzen Line.


https://www.frys.com/product/9522092?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG 200$ for the 2600. With the promo coupon 160$


However online
https://smile.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48?_encoding=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0&ie=UTF8&pldnNewCustomer=1&ref_=smi_ge_cnf_cnf_smi


The same cpu is 164$.



But here in lies the issue. Now the cpu is 160$ NOT 199. Therefore you have to buy something else in order to get the coupon.


Lets take a different item.


https://www.frys.com/product/9339760?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG the i7-8700k is 370$. With the Promo its 296$. Which is amazing! Only problem its out of stock pretty much everywhere



https://smile.amazon.com/Intel-i7-8700K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B07598VZR8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1550638139&sr=8-4&keywords=i7+9700k

online its $360. So you are getting a massive discount, provided you are well above the minimum purchase for the most part.


TLDR: Coupon is only really vauable for items with a high coupon margin or if you cant be asked for shipping on low coupon margin

Same price on Amazon with infinitely better CS/Shipping

>Had some offers but none went through so dropped down a bit

Likely because it's $118 on Amazon right now? Might take more to entice people to buy from an individual since Amazon has an excellent return policy and free shipping as most people have Prime. Good luck!

8700k is last gen and so stock is getting low, prices are unlikely to drop a ton outside of certain circumstances, odds are that price might even go up.

EDIT: take a look at 7700k price: https://smile.amazon.com/Intel-i7-7700K-Desktop-Processor-unlocked/dp/B01MXSI216/

When you say upgrade, from what? Do you have a z170 motherboard?

Also $350 doesn't sound like a sale, sounds like full price. You can get an unlocked 7700K on amazon for cheaper and that can overclock.

30% is huge misinformation, these are way more similarly priced than people like to admit. 30% would put the Intel at over 400 dollars on sale. The AMD bias is ridiculous as of late.

Pour des builds "budget" je conseille de prendre les ryzen de la génération d'avant :
exemple : ryzen 7 1700 à 170€ pour un 8 coeur/16threads

La prochaine génération de console arrive bientôt avec d'ici un an ou 2 des jeux qui seront plus optimisés pour plus de coeurs (d'après les specs annoncées donc les perfs des processeurs ryzen vont sans doute s'améliorer dans les jeux.

• i5-7600k - This 4 core 4 thread CPU is awesome for gaming but struggles under heavily multi-threaded workloads. It doesn't come with a cooler, I would recomend this one. Total price w/CPU cooler = $244.88 USD
  
  
• AMD Ryzen 7 1700 - This 8 core 16 thread CPU is an absolute multi-threaded beast for the price. It's quite a lot less powerful per-core than the i5-7600k which will hurt gaming performance if your CPU is the limiting factor. It comes with a fancy RGB cooler. It's price has been dropping quite a lot recently, already down to $269.99 USD
  
  
• AMD Ryzen 5 1600 - This 6 core 12 thread CPU is pretty much the same as the R7 1700 but with two fewer cores and four less total logical threads. It will have near the same single threaded performance as the 1700. This will also work with the same motherboards as the 1700. It ships with a slightly less fancy cooler as the 1700, but it will still keep it cool. Price is very good at $199.99 USD

£80, you can get the 1700 for £300: https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-1700-16-Core-3-7-GHz/dp/B06WP5YCX6

There's also three for sale in the Amazon warehouse for only £268.46, which is a fantastic price. Find them here.

I wouldn't say so.

Looking at the 8700K in Europe, neither Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Alternate or Mindfactory have it in stock. The US is similar, out of stock on Amazon.com & Newegg and most won't ship until 1-2 weeks.

I can find it just fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07598VZR8/ref=twister_B07CN3RVTF?th=1

I have a couple things to say. Are you comfortable with overclocking? If so, i'd get one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-8700K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B07598VZR8/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=8700k&qid=1556664196&s=gateway&sr=8-1&th=1
Also, one of the biggest features with the Z390 mobo is overclocking. If possible, step it down a bit on the motherboard (if you don't like overclocking).

I made sure that all of the parts chosen were available at Amazon.de.

The Ryzen 9 3900X is available as well from a third party scalper. You may want to wait until Amazon gets it back in stock at a better price.

The Shadow Rock LP cooler is the best readily available cooler for the 3900X in this case. The Noctua NH-L12 (not NH-L12S) would be even better but it has been discontinued by Noctua and is no longer available from Amazon.de. If you are able to get one, delete the A12x25 fan and get a third A12x15 fan instead.

The Gigabyte X570 I motherboard is the only X570 mini ITX motherboard available now. I'd recommend getting an X570 motherboard for a new PC using the 3900X.

You mentioned that you already have memory but not what kind. If it isn't low profile like the Crucial memory selected or Corsair Vengeance LPX, it won't work with the CPU cooler.

I was surprised to see Micro Center's Inland store brand of SSD available on Amazon.de. It's a fast NVMe PCIe 3.0 x 4 SSD at a good price.

The RTX 2070 Super has very nearly the performance of a RTX 2080 at a lower price. To fit the case, you need a true two slot graphics card with no overhang. To be absolutely sure of fit, I'd recommend getting NVidia's own reference card directly from them. The MSI version selected overhangs a tiny bit. It will probably fit but I can't be 100% sure. The RVZ03 case puts the graphics card in its own chamber with two case fans. This chamber acts like an oversized blower to cool the graphics card as long as it has an open cooler design. For best results a blower style GPU shouldn't be used.

The RVZ03 case is also available from Amazon.de.

The Corsair SF 600 is the best SFX power supply available in its size class. You could go with a very compact ATX power supply in this case but I wouldn't recommend it. Cable management will be hard enough as it is. You'll need to get a SFX to ATX adapter plate.

The two A12x15 fans are to be installed next to the graphics card. You could save money here by instead using the two slim fans that came with the case, they aren't as good but they're free. You'll need a fan splitter to attach these fans to the single chassis fan header on the motherboard. The A12x25 fan is to replace the fan on the Shadow Rock LP cooler -- it's a better fan and with the 3900X you need all the cooling you can get. The A12x25 fan can be either mounted on top of the cooler or attached to the case fan slot above the motherboard. All fans should be mounted with air flowing inward since it's a positive pressure case.

I'm no expert on portable monitors. I found one on Amazon that may suit you for 329 Euros. All the portable monitors I saw seem to have an HDMI input instead of Display Port. So no high refresh rates. At least this one is a 4K IPS panel.

The default Package Power Target (PPT) for a 3900X in an X570 motherboard is 142W. The cooler is rated at 130W. To avoid throttling, I suggest going into the BIOS, switching PPT from Auto to Manual and setting the PPT to 129W. Note - you can't enter a 0 digit in the BIOS on this motherboard for PPT, so 129 is OK, 130 can't be entered. Setting this power limit will still let the 105W 3900X perform extremely well, it just won't have quite as much headroom for Precision Boost 2 automated overclocking.

I hope all this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I'll try and find you links later. Prices are American.

​

The 3200Gand 3800X seem to have not been stored on google's servers

For the 3700X

I think Amazon.de had it in stock on saturday. Some people pre-ordered it using a "cached" page on Saturday. And my guess is that this action finished all the Stock. (There is a reddit discussion about these pre-orders). Amazon got probably hundreds of pre-orders confirmed with shipping this week.

​

Then Amazon.it (which opened a page I think on saturday or friday) ended without stock (probably they were gone through amazon.de) and today still they don't accept orders

Amazon.es today added the 3700X, they accept orders, but with 1-2 months shipping, which is crazy.

​

I personally got it from an Spanish Online store (that competes with Amazon in PC Hardware) for 361.9€ + 3.26€ shipping - 5€ google pay promotion. So in total 360.85€ with shipping. I ordered it yesterday ( 07/07/2019 04:50 CET) and should be delivered on Thursday. Orders from today, deliver on Friday/Monday. (PCComponentes is the store)

So I'm hope everything is fine and there are no delays.

People don't know how to read the title lmao. C14S is the best air cooler for the NCase.

If you get:

• x570 mobo
  
• NCase
  
• 3700x
  
• ram
  
• C14S
  
• SF600
  
• case fans
  
  You will prolly only be left with like $300ish for the gpu. Maybe a 1660 ti or 2060 super? Might be ok with a SF450 instead of the SF600 depending on your gpu, that would save a bit. Could also opt to get a lower mobo since x570's main draw is the pcie 4.
  
  Might be able to find better deals come cyber monday/black friday, but buying used would prolly help save more and you wouldn't need to wait for a sale.

It's even cheaper on Amazon! 359.99

right here bro you will find this to be a great upgrade no skips or pauses in your game play like the i5 if you want to go cheap you can get a 1600 and a b350 mobo this is my exact cpu and mobo i came from and 4 core 8 thread intel chip and this was a hell of an upgrade very with the 12 threads its very future proof at a completely reasonable price dont let intel fool you

This is good, depending what your ram speed is currently as it's not listed. But if the mobo supports a 3600mhz ram, try to find that if not 3200mhz is fine. And GPU prices will probably change once your ready to buy, so dont worry until your there.

I don't see any comments so I'll offer my advice. Take it with a grain of salt, as I'm always browsing r/buildapcsales and definitely more of a price/performance builder.

First of all, an $800 build with a 5700 and an SFF case and PSU is unlikely. Here's my recommendations

A Ryzen 5 3600 is like double the price of a 2600 for only 15% more speed. A 2600 is already a really solid CPU for gaming. Unless he's a hardcore gamer and streamer with a hardon for ultra settings games, I'd suggest the Ryzen 5 2600 or 2600x. On Black Friday, 2600 prices will probably drop to around $90 (they've been dropping to around $100 recently). Currently on Amazon for $118.

Really good choice in LPX RAM - that specific set actually dropped to $56 the other week and will be hopefully down again on BF.

A 5700 is fine in terms of price to performance, but if you really do want to get below your budget but still want really good performance, I'd suggest jumping on this deal asap: EVGA 1660ti for $255 on sale through Best Buy (originally $320), and you can use the first time shopping code (SHOPNEW19) for $20 off your first purchase using a google account/credit card combination you haven't used before. That effectively makes the 1660ti a $230 deal, and the 5700 (usually blowers are on sale for at best $280) performs only 30% better, sure, but you're going for a budget build, and a 1660ti can already handle anything for 1080p gaming. Even if 5700 prices drop lower on Black Friday, chances are the 1660ti will still end up being on sale for a better price/performance deal. Also should be noted that 5700's that do drop below $280 are usually blowers, and these can be very, very loud. Ultimately, check out userbenchmark, sort GPUs by value, and compare to figure out what's the best fit for you.

Not a bad SSD/HDD combination, but keep your eye out on Black Friday. Chances are that 1 TB SSDs will drop below $80.

With regards to PSU, EVGA is generally a cheaper line with still very good quality SFX PSUs. Their customer support is a lot better in my experience, but others may disagree. This 450W PSU was on sale for $69 the other day. Idk if it's your first time building, but do keep in mind to not vastly overestimate the wattage PSU you need. So many people buy 650W PSUs when they really only need to use 380W, which should only warrant buying a 450 or 550W PSU. I'd recommend this wattage calculator.

Finally, if you're really trying to do a budget build, keep an eye out on r/buildapcsales. Check early and check often. There was a sale today for a super high-end 1 TB m.2 NVME SSD that was $80, but it was sold out on Amazon in under an hour. Often times, the best deals will be sold out by the time they make it to hot. r/buildapcsales and r/sffpc are the only two subreddits I ever sort by new on lol. Again, I'm not sure how experienced you are with PC building, but make sure you're buying components of the specs that you want. There are times where I've gotten over-excited and seen a $48 RAM deal, but it turned out to be only 3000 mhz instead of 3200. Then again there have also been times where I've seen RAM prices and been like "wow, that's not even that good a deal," and then realized it was $100 for 32 GB and not 16 GB.

Afterword: Keep in mind that it's probably best to wait until Black Friday if you really want to play it safe price-wise. Don't buy everything from the same place at once if you want to save money. Buy from the credible sellers with the best prices at the best times. I've been exclusively buying from links off of r/buildapcsales and ended up with a $900 SFF build capable of all the gaming I'll need to do in college. And that's after spending $220 on a sexy SM550 case.

US Amazon has 2700X for 199 on Prime Day. Thats 8 decent cores/16th for 199. How can I say no

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=2700x&qid=1563233291&s=gateway&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&sr=8-1

Got both of these to start my rebuild. Didn’t expect to get involved in prime day but here I am.

Warm deal on a 2700x - $328
https://www.amazon.ca/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=sr_1_1


Seems to be an all-time low...(?)

$199 through prime on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Ryzen+7+2700X&qid=1567720819&s=gateway&sr=8-2

Same price on amazon btw.

You should switch the 1070Ti for a Vega 64 that is going for $400 now. Then buy a monitor with the same specs as yours except add FreeSync. With the money you save, you can buy a 1TB ADATA XPG 8200, That is 3x the speed of an 860evo.

https://www.rakuten.com/shop/adata/product/ASX8200NP-960GT-C/ - $157.00 w/code CYBER20.

This is a way better SSD. Secondly, I'd get this monitor: https://m.newegg.com/products/0JC-0081-00016?ignorebbr=true&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile-_-pla-_-Gaming+Monitors-_-0JC-0081-00016&gclsrc=aw.ds&gclid=CjwKCAiA0O7fBRASEiwAYI9QArke4IV60srQdwSQext8pHe-xCFr1FEmt9RtQKenrCscC52QtJxlIhoCS-sQAvD_BwE
You'll save ~230$ or so with FreeSync. You'll save another $70 with this Vega 64: https://m.newegg.com/products/N82E16814202326
You also get 3 FREE games worth $150.
With all this money saved, drop the wifi adapter for another $60 saved. Then pick up a Ryzen 2700x. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543247961&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=ryzen+2700x&psc=1
This deal is only 65$ more. Then pick up a X470 motherboard: https://www.amazon.com/TUF-X470-Plus-Gaming-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B07C5YR3KS/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1543248089&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=x470+motherboard+wifi&dpPl=1&dpID=51F37Nfqa0L&ref=plSrch
This is a great motherboard with WiFi. You can find a different one either wifi, and probably get a better deal. This will run you 130$, so around $60 more. Your PSU is meh. This one is the same price and is AMAZING. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Supernova-Modular-Warranty-220-G3-0650-Y1/dp/B01LYGFRL6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1543248296&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=evga+supernova+650
Great deal for $5 less. You save around $250 for a much better build overall.

/r/buildapcsales has a ton of deals, like the 2700X for $265

Here is the build I've made for you using the 2700X. Luckily I also live in the Benelux so I know where you can get some parts cheaper than pcpartpicker says =)

You can get the 2700X for a bit cheaper on amazon.de here. It includes a pretty good stock cooler so you got that covered.

The GTX 1080 can be bought here from a dutch web store. I use them myself and have always gotten what I ordered.

I included a PSU here since you said you wouldn't be reusing yours and I couldn't find the model on pcpartpicker either, but potentially that could also still be used.

EDIT: Forgot the 2TB HDD.

Just wanted to let you know you can get a new 2700x for under $200 (before tax) from amazon, and probably a used one for less than $180 on here

The CPU. Get the Ryzen 5 3600 it's not only about the same price but it outperforms the Ryzen 7 2700x by a fair gap

3600

And it is available on Amazon right now

Sharing my experience with the Tomahawk B450.

I bought it before reaching this subreddit.

List of parts bought on amazon:

Msi B450 Tomahawk

Ryzen 3600

Patriot Viper 16GB X2

Samsung NVME 1TB 970

Parts I had and reused for the build:

Zotac GTX 1060 6GB

Cooler master Master Box Case

Seasonic Modular PSU (will update later on the exact model)

Samsung 1TB HDD

Parts I bought for the Bios Flashing:

Amd AM4 Athlon 200GE with Vega geaphics

After reading some of the posts here and the updates I figured I would need an updated bios on my motherboard before connecting the 3600.

Failing to find a store/repair shop to do the bios upgrade for me I bought the cheapest AM4 I could find in my region (Israel) to do the flashing.

I assembled the PC with one RAM stick, the Athlon 200GE, No Cmos Battery, connected to the DVI port of the motherboard, inserted a USB stick with the latest Bios from the MSI website ( 7C02v1A ), started the built in flash utility of the Bios, and waited.

The flashing process took a while, so for everyone doing the flashing "blind" (with the button and the USB method) you should wait at least 10 minutes between tries.

After the process finished, I shut down the computer, unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and swaped the Athlon with the 3600.

Booted UP, looked at the leds on the motherboard....CPU...VGA....and stuck.

Thought maybe I failed to do anything right, and then remembered the 3600 doesnt have GPU built in.

Truned off the PC, unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and Inserted the GTX 1060.

Connected the DVI cable to the GPU, turned on the PC, waited for the leds. And voila, booting properly and going into bios.

​

At this point I shut down the PC again,unplugged the PSU, did a power release (Clicked the power button a bunch of times), and plugged the rest of the components (Another RAM stick, NVME, HDD, Wireless PCIE card), did all the cable management needed and closed the case.

​

Turned on the PC, got into Bios settings, changed some settings, mainly XMP, and booting options, and booted into the USB3 thumbdrive with WIN10 1903 install.

​

Finished installing the OS, booting into windows, sudden restart, then again, and again???????

Windows showing error "Windows failed to start"

Trying Safe mode, windows is stable, driver issue.

Reset Bios settings, windows is stable.

Changing settings 1 by 1:

XMP - Stable

Vitrualazation - Stable

​

Didn't pusue any more changes than that ATM.

​

PC is working fast, no issues so far.

Will update if anything changes.

​

TL;DR

My system works, I don't do any overclocking whatsoever, your mileage may vary.

AmazonやPC工房(楽天)で買えるっぽい？工房のyahoo店は単品売り切れてた

M-am resemnat ca nu prind un 3950x prea curand si dau sa vad cat e 3900, 500$ pe amazon. Zic bun, hai sa fac si o verificare pe Ro, vad 3900 cu 2400 la pcgarage. Incep sa caut si niste placi de baza, gasesc ce vreau, revin la pcgarage, acelasi 3900x e ~2700 O_o.

Long story short: 3900x la $500 pe amazon.

If you like Ryzen, my recommendation would be:

Ryzen 2700X

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428M7F/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Ryzen+1800x&qid=1572630237&s=electronics&sr=1-1

​

MSI PRO-Carbon Motherboard

500GB NVMe SSD (1TB is kinda overkill for what you want to do).

Corsair Water Cooler (sealed) I think its the H100i?

2x8GB is fine

750w Power Supply is fine

2060 Super

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Q7jV6R

​

Choose your monitor/keyobard/mouse. I recommend Corsair for mouse and keyboard, its what I run. This should be plenty

​

Personally, Alienware is massively overpriced for what you get. If you want a prebuild, I would look at Triplewrecks company Evolve PC or something like Origin.

Generally you will pay a premium for pre-built obviously. I just am personally not a fan of Alienware

Or better yet for $21 dollars more the 2700X

Amazon just raised the price of the Ryzen 2700X from $420 to $500. What a load of bullshit.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07B428M7F

Edit: and now it's sold out and only being sold by third parties. Is there a Ryzen shortage?

I'd say RTX 1660 TI https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GeForce-GTX-1660-Ti/dp/B07N824KNV/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=rtx+1660&qid=1563303111&s=gateway&sr=8-1

​

AMD Ryzen 5 2600x https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B428V2L/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=amd+ryzen&qid=1563303029&s=gateway&sr=8-5

​

Should be around 550, but if it goes over your budget get a Ryzen 5 2600 , or you can downgrade the gpu and get a XFX Radeon RX 580 https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-1386MHz-Graphics-RX-580P8DFD6/dp/B06Y66K3XD/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=amd+gpu&qid=1563303407&s=gateway&sr=8-1

If any of yall planned on upgrading CPUs, Ryzen 5s and up come with a free copy of Division 2 and World War Z

Yet they have the 3600x @ 249.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?keywords=amd+3600x&qid=1562549530&s=gateway&sprefix=AMD+3600&sr=8-14

Amazon has had a very weird day today.

Edit: the one you linked isn't sourced by Amazon, so that 3rd party is just milking prices.

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600X-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07SQBFN2D

3600X for $200. Get it and be happy. Should play nice with existing mobo, though it would certainly appreciate some faster RAM (3200 min, 3600 preferred). Even with your current RAM it'll smoke that 1400 like a cheap cigar. 1400's barely faster than an i7-4770 from 6+ years ago.

Your GPU is a big limiting factor though, if money's limited upgrade that first. I'd swap it for a 1660 Super personally; sell it for $80 or so and you're in the same general price range as your CPU upgrade.

Having trouble with new build.

Mobo: Gigabyte X570 Gaming X

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X

RAM: 2x 16GB Corsair Vengeance RGB

GPU: Geforce GTX 750 ti (it's old, and the only part I haven't ordered a upgrade for yet. Upgrading next, but want to get this setup to at least power on first)

Hooked everything up with 650w PSU. RAM RGBs light up but that's all. PC won't power on. Thought it might be bad PSU, hooked up a 850w PSU I had sitting around but never actually used, same result (RGB on RAM lights up, but system won't power on). Thought it might be a bad power switch on the case, tried bypassing by connecting the power prongs with a screwdriver, nothing. Starting to think I got a bad MoBo. Any advice?

3600x has popped up so far it seems.

3600X shipped and sold by Amazon. $249.99 + tax. Comes out to about $270.

Ryzen 5 3600 is pretty much neck and neck with the Ryzen 7 1700 in multithreaded applications, even with 2 cores and 4 threads less.

£190 gets you a brand new one from Amazon.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-Ryzen-3600-Processor-Cache/dp/B07STGGQ18

Beautiful tiny PC but here's a very friendly price break down. I'm using new prices here from Amazon except for the fan. This isn't taking into consideration whether the parts are a day or a year old they are officially used and if you go off of even good/average to great /r/hardwareswap deals this would be quite cheaper and it's hard to add a building tax to a community full of builders.

CPU $200 - Ryzen 3600

MOBO $129 - MSI B450i

GPU $320 - RTX 2060

NVME $90 - Samsung 970 Evo

RAM $90 - XPG 3200 MHz 16GB RGB

COOLER $40 - Noctua NH-L9a

FAN $24 - 25mm 4000 RPM Delta Fan

PSU $90 - OP's model is OOS

Custom SFF Cables - $30-50

CASE - GEEEK A30 + Riser Cable + Shipping = $100.67 (for me)

This is $1,113 for everything, basically new.

I don't really think it's a terrible price at all but the nature of this sub seems to be getting great deals so you can pretty much build a PC you would have never had if you just bought everything new on Amazon etc, especially since I believe this sub is full of PC builders. I have seen some absurd deals on this sub reddit that make me want to quit my job so I can just refresh constantly and that's because I've had a full system for awhile. Just a little food for thought for anybody. With some commitment to checking here you can get a great build for way below retail cost of the parts.

Got a 6500 from cex a couple weeks ago, works perfectly, the processor is rarely the thing that goes in a PC. Just buy an aftermarket CPU cooler for like a tenner from Amazon (you get the chip only) and you've saved yourself a load of money to put towards the GPU or whatever.

I'd also say the 6600 isn't particularly worth it over the 6500, it's probably about 5% faster for most things, so only worth 5% more.

Also if you want new the 6500 is only 200 from Amazon

$188 new from Amazon w/ free shipping

www.amazon.com/Intel-Skylake-Desktop-Processor-BX80662I56500/dp/B010T6CWI2

TL;DR: Currently have i3-6100. Looking at i5-6500 and i5-7500. Would like an upgrade recommendation so I can run games like Tarkov and PubG.

I'm very sad to say, I built this rig in late 2016, and I still feel like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I got by with a lot of help from redditors and Youtube videos so I have no idea what's good and what isn't.

Currently, I have an i3-6100. I skimped on some parts due to being on a budget. In addition to upgrading my RAM by 8GB (Currently have 8GB) I'm hoping to upgrade my CPU. I also have an EVGA GTX 950 in there.

If it matters This is my motherboard

So what I'm looking for is an LGA 1151 slot, right?

Here is the first option

Here is the second option

What confuses me, is the second one is one generation newer than the first one, right? Why are they the same price? I'm also told if I go above a certain gen I'd have to upgrade my BIOS? I'd like to avoid that if possible. I've also read that in reality, an i5 is plenty sufficient for games, and i7 isn't worth the extra money unless you're video editing/rendering, etc. Lastly, the stock cooler that comes with the cpu should suffice, yes? I don't care about overclocking.

I'm looking to smoothly run Tarkov, Hunt Showdown, PubG, things like that. I don't care about 4k or 1440p or anything really. Ideally I'd like to at least keep it to 60fps though. Smooth gameplay is primarily what I'm after.

I'm also open to AMD and such if there's a comparable option that's more cost-effective, the intel i-series was just a bit easier for me to tell the difference between the different tiers (3, 5, 7)

I know it's a bit verbose, so thank you for reading.

Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOA 850 P2

Video Card: ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX1080

Storage: WD Black 1TB

Also on sale on Amazon.ca for same price.

Nope, straight up new i7 6700k.
Link here: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B012M8LXQW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Hr9VCbMCZMWCF

CamelCamelCamel shows this is the lowest price it has ever been on Amazon.

I'd get a 6600k in that case. It is the equivalent of a 7500 (Performs better with no overclock) and is cheaper by $30 than a 7600k

just saying, 7700k is on sale for 290 right now

>Just looking for suggestions on what type of CPU and GPU I should be looking towards and I can figure out the rest.

In terms of the CPU, you have a couple options.
If you want the best gaming performance, you'll want the i7 7700k and a Z270 motherboard and a cooler. This specific combo comes to about $620~ +tax & shipping.

On the other hand, if you'd like to save some money, you can choose the Ryzen 1600 (or Ryzen 1700) and pair it with a B350 motherboard. The combo is a mere $380~ +tax (or $450 with the 1700). Also, pair a couple sticks of high speed RAM with Ryzen (3000 - 3200MHz) and you'll see significant performance gains in your games.

AMD's Ryzen is definitely the best value on the market right now, with that being said the 7700k is the undisputed winner when it comes to gaming performance. When it comes to a graphics card, you'll want to pick up a 1080ti (wait until you can get one of these for $900 or less, check r/bapcsalescanada several times daily and you can snag a good deal) if you want to game in 4k. However, if you'll just be playing games @ 1080p in your VR headset you can probably safely pick up the cheaper 1080 or 1070 cards.

For your 4K monitor there are a lot of options and it really depends what is on sale when you buy. The LG 27UD58-B is well regarded and a great value currently.

Not really, an 8700K goes for sub-£300 now. I bought mine for £370 so it's already dropped around £80-100 since launch. I could easily see them moving 6C/12T to £250 to occupy the i5 K-series slot and the 8C/16T would launch for around £380.

Someone in S.korea asked Intel official and They said that only 100 retail boxes of Coffelake was released at S.Korea and We'll get enough supplies By 2017 December or 2018 January.

Due to unavailability in S.Korea, 8700K's price is skyrocketing toward 430~600 USD. What's making worse is that retailer in S.Korea is selling them only by expensive combo bundle.

I think, at this point, It's tough to get one in S.Korea. If you can use freight forwarder in Japan, You should try Amazon japan pre-order at below link(You have to use freight forwarder because they don't ship directly to S.Korea).

I think even the US market is being hit. Look at the price trend on Amazon in the past week: https://camelcamelcamel.com/Intel-i7-8700K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/product/B07598VZR8?context=search

So it's either a case of switching to 9900/9700, production, or Intel is shifting product mix to server CPUs to fulfill increased CPU demand (someone else stated this point). If the former, then we'll have to see the market share over the next couple of months. If the latter, then that means Intel's statement about "hitting annual revenue projections" basically means they've given up market share given that the market demand for overall CPUs is above their initial estimates.

Personally, given Intel's 10nm production problems, I have no idea how they are going to be able to fab a server chip at that prices and have enough yield to supply the market demand at reasonable prices. If Zen 2 successfully delivers its 15% IPC increase and power savings, I actually think the 20% market share figure quoted by Intel is going to be what they themselves are left with.

This is a decent combo. However, Zen + is available for sale, and the new Ryzen 3 APU has vega 8 graphics for only 99 dollars (Just a bit weaker than your 1050 there. Not a bad deal at all) Ryzen 3 2200g for the APU, and I found A video compatible motherboard on newegg.

• 750 Watt Power Supply. $89.98
  
  
• Generic Corsair Case. $64.99 You can shop around for something better looking for a little more money.
  
  
• DDR4 3200 RAM (2*4GB Sticks) for $147.99 and DDR4 3200 RAM (1*8GB Stick) for $160.32. You can also drop to 3000MHz and save like $5-10 but not worth it in my opinion.
  
  
• GTX 1060 3GB for $304.99 or GTX 1060 6GB for $389.99.
  
  
• i7 8700k for $449.99 or i7 7700k for $422.96. 8700k is 8th gen and 7700k is 7th gen. You can drop to any processor around an i7 7700 (No "k") without seeing issues I'd assume. WoW is a processor heavy game though. Still my i7 8700k only ever reaches maybe 30% useage that I see.
  
  
• Heat Sink + Fan. Cooler Master is good. $34.99
  
  
• i7 8700 will require a 300 Series Motherboard like ASUS ROG for $141.50 or ASUS Prime for $84.99. The 7700s will take a 200 series motherboard like this one for $129.61 or this one for 149.99. Basically just make sure it has all the hook-ups you need (sound and USBs and shit) with the proper chip set and supports DDR4 RAM with minimum 1 PCI Express slot for your GPU.
  
  
• Samsung 860 Evo 500GB SSD for $179.94 or the 250GB for $109.94. Any decent SSD will do. Make sure it has enough room for your OS and the game(s) you play. You can use any regular HD to store other stuff on. Samsung is a good brand for them.
  
  When trying to decide on what power your PC needs a good website to use is http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/ - it'll give you a general idea since I get confused with all the "i7/i5/i3 XXXX gen X" nonsense too.
  
  That'll build you a tower. Then you just need external components. Monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, chair, desk, etc. Depending on what you have available and stuff it can vary so I'll let you price out that stuff.
  
  $1,358 pre-taxes if you go with i7 8700k, and GTX 1060 3 GB. For the tower. Taxes in, plus all the other components you're still looking at pushing close to $2000. That's CND I think. If you do a little shopping around you might get a decent deal on a few items and look into different price points between AMD and Intel if you choose their Board/Chip/GPU combos.

A VR build doesn't have to be stupid expensive anymore. Just keep in mind that no matter what you buy is going to replaced with bigger and better parts in a year or two. It's just how pc building works. Doesn't mean what you build will become shitty though. I'm a big fan of setting myself a budget and staying well below it. I prefer to keep my extra money in my pocket, but that's just me. I honestly think a 1080 or 1080TI is overkill unless you want to do some 4k gaming, but then that requires a 4k monitor. Not worth it if you're building a VR rig. Just my opinion.

You can purchase an i7 8700K on Amazon for £319.98 and I'm pretty sure the one this week or last sold for £210 is on sale for £230 (u/CyclonicCS) as well as one sold for the same price 21 days ago so maybe save yourself £80+ if purchasing second-hand.

Dunno if this is any good to you at Under £700. Wouldn't know where to start with a Z370 mobo but there's plenty within your price range. ☺️

P.S. I realise the i7 8700K must be de-lidded but is it not cheaper to DiY?

It’s still £303,99 at Amazon just they’ve hidden it well!

Goddamn, u/Suicide_24 now is a good time to purchase with that deal (just make sure it comes with the cooler)

AMD Ryzen 3 2200G Processor with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079D3DBNM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_i769Bb3JF50KX

If you are going to go at the low end PC "low budget" take advantage of low price on sale that are going to start, example:

- Check CPU price on amazon for a reference:

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Computer-CPU-Processors/zgbs/pc/229189

Do you see the Ryzen 3 2200G APU (CPU+GPU) at this time is at ~89$?

Or the Athlon 200GE ~59$?

- Check MoBo price:

https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Computers-Accessories-Computer-Motherboards/zgbs/pc/1048424/ref=zg_bs_nav_pc_4_229189/140-5590597-4965200

Do you see the GIGABYTE GA-A320M-S2H MoBo at this time for ~50$

As you can see you can get all from ~110$ to ~140$ ( CPU + GPU + MoBo )!? :)

You dont need a new system from you parts you can easily get a Asrock B450m pro, a Ryzen 3 2200g, and a 8GB/16GB DDR4 3000Mhz RAM for what $215 or $240. That will last you for a good long while. Then you can re-use all your other parts.

Motherboard $75, CPU $80, 8GB $59, 16GB $85

​

Edit: Cleaned up links and format

Then definitely go with AMD if you're on such a budget. Something like this would be awesome for a budget build, and even go for that based on upcoming deals.

Note that you're not limited to Amazon as a vendor or those exact CPU's. That's just to give you an idea.


I am pretty new to this and only starting researching and learning under 2 months ago. That's my build so far and I probably spent around your budget if you exclude that GPU not accounting for Windows and monitor. This subreddit has been awesome for me finding deals. My build isn't done and things marked purchased with price are stuff I found through here while the rest is to be determined.

$215 on amazon with the games. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B41717Z/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=2700&qid=1558380991&s=gateway&sr=8-1

Also, this cpu has not been $300 in a long time so that's pretty deceptive marketing.

intel was selling 4/8 like 2 years ago as their top-tier, and amd came out with 8/16, this is why we are seeing 8/16 from intel today, amd have opportunity to pressure intel again after 2 years, but they wont because you said so, ok

even today you can get 2700 for 220 bucks https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-Processor-Wraith-Cooler/dp/B07B41717Z

i assume they might increase the prices, but lets say 3600 for 220 and 3600x for 250

Toss that 9400F and get a Ryzen 3600, replace the board with an MSI B450 gaming plus. Toss the 1660ti and get an RX 5700 instead. Ditch the Sata SSD and get an Intel 660p 1tb NVMe.

https://www.newegg.com/intel-660p-series-1tb/p/N82E16820167462 - Intel 660p

It won't add much to the cost and you will get double the performance.

Hey thanks for replying. Ill for sure make certain that my ram is seated correctly to avoid that major head ache. The cpu as I understand at least from Amazon includes a fan for it.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07STGGQ18/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_sR3MDb0KYX10C

And it seems it comes with thermal paste as well so I don't need to buy a whole tube of it. I play a lot of games though, stuff like total war and Arma 3 but mostly strategy games. I'm looking to be able to play these max with no frame dips and have room to grow into. Hoping my cpu is plenty strong enough to last a few years.

Also you can get a Ryzen 5 3600 for not much more, it matches the 2700 in multithread and smokes it in single thread.

If the price difference is only $10 keep the 3600X. The performance difference in gaming and most task is so small that 3600X is hard to recommend if it $20 or more than the 3600. TechSpot following back on MSRP pricing



>Wrap Up
>
>Is the Ryzen 5 3600X worth purchasing over the 3600? Not at all. Other than to improve AMD’s margins there’s absolutely no reason for the 3600X to exist. Yes, you get a better cooler out of the box, but you’re paying $40 more for that cooler and it’s simply not worth that kind of price premium, $10 sure, but not much more than that.
>
>Rather than waste $40 on the 3600X, get the vanilla 3600 and if you want to reduce the operating volume and squeeze a tiny bit more performance out of the Ryzen 5 processor, grab something like the Cooler Master 212 Black for $30.

Great setup man, only thing I can recommend is switching out that 3600 with a 3600x, as there’s a discount on the 3600x, making it only $7 more than the regular 3600, which is definitely a steal

It's almost 40 quid cheaper than the i5 9600K.

Hoping for a bit of quick advice. Building my first gaming PC - mostly for 1080p @ 60Hz but hoping to future-proof - or at least reduce big spends in the near future

the dude has 34 ratings as a seller...... his name may be "AMD Authorized Re-seller" but it does seem sketchy. only 34 reviews? I literally just canceled mine. While AMAZON sent me the email that its in stock, the fact that it isn't more reputable makes me say nope. I canceled as well.

EDIT: Also look at what the rating ares, they are GARBAGE. "I just started using the knife but it seems to work great" WHAT? what does that have to do with CPU's and technology.... the rest are just as laughable.

EDIT: note my motherboard i ordered is from amazon services inc, legit.

That’s what we bought and he had a case already and I believe a 520Watt PSU

I also gave him my Asus RTX-2060 6gb. Any case or 2060 card will do the trick tho, that stuff is all about the same performance wise.

Works freaking great. I was very impressed with the performance. It ran almost as good as my 2060 did in my i5 9600k in games. I upgraded to a 2080 Super which is the only reason I gave up the 2060. And if I hadn’t got a 49 super ultra wide monitor I could have stuck with the 2060.

On a single screen it worked great

Ryzen 5 2600 here for $133 new

Not a bad deal. The Ryzen R5-2600 paired with a cheap B450 is probably a smarter way to go. The 2600 is on par gaming wise to the 9400f (especially overclocked) and quite a bit further ahead in in productivity. Also, you'll have an easy upgrade path to Zen 2/3 if/when needed where the 9400f is in a dying socket leaving you in a weird position of having to buy expensive second hand I7's for an upgrade. The Ryzen's extra 6 threads already help now with productivity and will likely help more in gaming long term.

Only $25.00 more..

Get a Ryzen system...you dont need a new Ryzen 3000 system you can get a 2600 and board for decent prices and still have leagues better performance than what you've got currently.

Ryzen 5 2600 119 euros https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_qEftDbHJ2VQWP

MSI b450 Tomahawk 89 euros https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FQ9ZJD9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_qGftDbK43T99A

Both of those together are cheaper than your cheapest choices(214 euros for the gigabyte and 8350) so you should have some room for some RAM which you'll need to upgrade too.

Patriot Viper 16gb kit 69 euros https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0157UQ5A6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_4JftDbB2T3X0H

All of this bring your total to 277 euros which is only 6 euros more expensive than your other option of the asrock and the 8350.

I think it's time for the big upgrade ;)

ryzen 2600 is only 12 AUD more

https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Cooler-YD1600BBAEBOX/

it's really not worth going for 1600 in this case.

Ryzen 5 2600 is on sale right now. Camelcamelcamel says it’s only $10 above its lowest price point on amazon.

Edit:

Didn’t realize that was an AM3 motherboard. Maybe look for a CPU/MOBO bundle. Micro center has the ryzen 5 2600 for 119 and they’ll take 30 off with a motherboard

this would be pretty overkill for a 1060 3gb you can buy a 2600 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=ord_cart_shr?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER here for $126 should hold you off until you get a better gpu but if you want to "future-proof" a little you can buy this instead

Appreciate it, I'll just keep replying here if that's cool. Don't mind either way about PM but I do find lurkers might appreciate some of the advice. I'm set on the 2600, and its now 185 on Amazon so that helps. I'm pretty set on the tomahawk Mobo too which I think is lowest if you have prime.

I would like to see pics of the case, I hate the one I have its so dull and bulky but not also huge fan of the "I'M A GAMER" cases, which seem overpriced regardless. One you have is nice.

I might upgrade to a 1070 in a year+, from what I can tell that still pairs nicely with a 2600 but wanted to check. and lastly I do have 16 Gb of Ram but would consider getting some that works best with the Mobo and amd, did you already have Ram or did you buy to compliment the board.

edit: also would love a quite setup, my computer makes a decent amount of noise and I use it as part of the entertainment system.

​

EDIT: Literally 2 mins after i put a purchase in (just in case it was a price error and not a scam) Amazon took down the old page and seller. Now it's regular price $187

Price seems high for cpu / motherboard.

I’m from the U.K. but just quickly scanning amazon.com you could get a 2600 and b450 motherboard for around the same price. With this board you can OC and the 2600 is far far better than the 1200.

Lastly what psu are you using, like what brand is it?

In that case, check this link and scroll down to the frequently bought together. Cpu ram and a good mobo for about 372 pounds.

And pc case that you like :)

I’d second this, the Ryzen 5 2600 is at $145 on amazon right now, which seems to be ridiculously cheap...

https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48

I don’t think we have too many benchmarks yet for the 9400.

It's on sale at Amazon for 150. Just helping out. https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Processor-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler/dp/B07B41WS48

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler - YD2600BBAFBOX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_FNuNBb4XP8K7M

165$ on Amazon

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B41WS48/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_pF4RDbYV7G6NR

Will this work?

I would say the R5 2600 would probably be the best to pair with the RX 570. It is pretty cheap at $118 and will easily handle anything you throw at it with an upgrade path to the 3rd and unreleased 4th gen Ryzen CPUs due to them all being on the AM4 platform. The R5 3600 would be the next step up at $177 but I wouldn't go higher than that unless you need the extra cores from a R7 3700x or R9 3900x/3950x for productivity reasons and not gaming since an OCed 3600 will perform almost the same as the R7/R9 CPUs.

Benchmark that shows both R5 3600 and R5 2600 (which can OC to 3600x and 2600x levels easily)

https://www.techspot.com/review/1871-amd-ryzen-3600/

Benchmark saying get a R5 3600 for any GPU under $1000 and showing similar performance to the R9 3900x. Turning on PBO and XFR2 will make the 3900x and 3600 just about equal. Grabbing some decent Micron E-Die based ram ($70-75 for 16GB) and overclock to 3733CL16 will probably add a 2-3fps over the 3200CL14 used in the review below although the 3200CL14 (samsung B-die based) will overclock better than the E-die but for $50 more but that isn't worth it to me.

It is hard to recommend anything on the Intel side unless you have a very high end card and are looking at pure gaming only where the i7 9700k or i9 9900k will perform a little better than the AMD Ryzen counterparts.

If you live near SF bay area i can hand this to you: https://i.imgur.com/8ERqDnr.jpg

And I think this cooler (but maybe a similar one):

http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/masterair-pro-3/

I bought this in 2015 but it should be able to play WoW (i think?). You would need to find a power supply, hard drive and memory. This is sitting in my closet for the past 2 years so it may not be working...

same goes for you buddy, you can't build a pc in India looking at r/buildapc lol, that place isn't for you being in India. Think!

p.s. I'm also rich...

p.p.s. just gonna leave this link for cpu here: http://www.amazon.in/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6

Boom. Click me.

so it would be unable to support http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Processor/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462229826&sr=8-1&keywords=AMD+FX-8350+Black+Edition+Vishera+8-Core+4.0+GHz+%284.2+GHz+Turbo%29+Socket+AM3%2B+125W+FD8350FRHKBOX+Desktop+Processor+Series%3A+FX-Series?

Would you recommend this one?

Or more so what would you recommend?

I may be wrong, but for that price the GPU doesn't look right. You may want to go for a cheaper motherboard, and definitely cheaper RAM. Heck, if you're just gaming, I'd go with 8gb of RAM.

Here's your CPU for $30 less:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YUF6/

spain, huh?? amazon.es will be your best bet, trust me (I'm also from spain, and the best prices I've seen here are amazon's)

Also, that build is good, very good for a mid-term gaming PC, as long as you are sure you want to stick with intel. I mean, you have pretty good AMD CPU's out there, better than that intel and for less money, say, THIS is one of the best (affordable) CPU's out there... and is cheaper than the intel. sure there are better CPU's but cost at least twice!! (I'm thinking of unlocked i7's, which are the only that can offer 8 threads... ) 4 threads are good for right now, but may be not enough in a FEW years (I'm used to plan ahead and make my rigs useful for at least 4 years... last one lasted like 7 years with minor (GPU) upgrades.)

GPU-wise, the 270X is only like 10€ more, and could be worth it. just take a look at videocardbenchmark.net and compare the performance of both of them. (note: they also have CPU data, so take a look at it!! )

also, you need to think about the HDD. you'll want a big and fast one, probably a 2Tb WD caviar blue would be good enough (I'm using the caviar green and while EVERYBODY will tell you is slow as hell, since it's not even a 7200rpm drive... it works good enough for me). I don't recommend reusing an old HDD, for two reasons:

one, HDD's life is "limited", I wouldn't trust a drive for more tan, say, a few years (5 or so). I myself use them for way longer, but my old seagates are in a raid 1 (mirror). else I wouldn't be trusting them, and they would be gathering dust.

and two, HDD's are cheap enough... and for a gaming PC you'll wat a big one (at least 1 Tb, trust me, it seems much but it will get filled sooner than you think) WD caviar blue 1 Tb even a raid 0 of those would be good (note I can't find the 2 Tb caviar blue right now, not sure why.... a green could do, or else, a raid 0 of blues would be even faster.) Also, a system SSD would be nice, but not essential.

Personally I'd stick with the case you have, because the case is nothing more than a shell that houses the components that make your PC a gaming PC :) If you want to browse for more cases, check here for some Mid-Tower cases (just make sure you read reviews because cases vary in quality):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007583%20600006302&IsNodeId=1&name=ATX%20Mid%20Tower&cm_sp=CompCase9_-VisNav-_-ATXMidTower

As for removing the OS and the DVD drive, you end up having to add all the parts to the shopping cart of whatever site you plan to buy on. So if you're buying everything on Amazon, just add each part to Amazon. Just don't add the DVD drive of the OS when you add them to your cart.

The video card I chose follows your price-point, and will run most games at and around high quality. If you want to run all games at high and ultra I would recommend a GTX 770, but that is a $330+ card, so if you are willing to spend a little extra money, go ahead and buy that one instead.

Edit: This is the processor that I had previously added:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009O7YUF6/?tag=pcpapi-20

This?

THere's still 3 hours as of right now: AMD FX 8350 for $129.99

pretty solid price for this processer.

You might want to consider going with the AMD FX-8350 instead. It'll save you about $70, and has a better Passmark score

You are asking $150 for a used and possibly damaged 8350 that goes for $170 brand new on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD8350FRHKBOX-FX-8350-8-Core-Black/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415243836&sr=1-1&keywords=amd+fx+8350

Good to know! I might as well splurge a tiny bit more for an AMD 8350 at that price. We'll see.

8350 works pretty good for a good price.

I`m saving up for this CPU for my computer I'm trying to slowly build up my computers power a bit and this is the next item to cross off my list.

I'm planning on recycling all my old parts so I can build a computer with my son and then give it to him for his birthday.

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this

Get this instead: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009O7YUF6/ref=psdc_430515031_t1_B00DGGW3MI

For cooling, this will be perfect: http://www.amazon.co.uk/quiet-BK018-Quiet-Dark-Cooler/dp/B00HPX7IKU/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1454094251&sr=1-2&keywords=bequiet+dark+rock

The M5A97 is an AMD AM3+ board, which is a completely different socket from AMD. You can either choose to change your mobo, and get the i7 (the i7 is a waste if you are only gaming, i5s are perfect for gaming on intel) OR pickup an FX-8350, so you save money by not buying a new board.

I have a heat issue. Build specs:

• MSI 970 GAMING ATX AMD Motherboard
  
• Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz
  
• EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0
  
• AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 Processor
  
• Corsair CS Series 750 Watt ATX CS750M
  
• Cooler Master Hyper T2
  
  Idle temperatures were 44° C with the stock cooler so I replaced it with the T2. The case purchased didn't allow a T4 to fit in it - it was about half an inch too high.
  
  With the T2 idle temperatures dropped to 26° C while the cores are running @ 1400 Mhz.
  
  No overclocking has been left in place; it was accidentally enabled for a short period. However, when my son starts playing games he finds himself at 76° C and the thermal protection kicks in, locking the box up.
  
  I made sure to remove the plastic on the bottom of the T2, where contact is made between the cooler pipes and the CPU. I made sure to evenly spread the thermal paste over the chip. I've ensured that the cooler is tightly clamped to the CPU.
  
  Now this board has an "OC Genie" and he did activate it, however, I uninstalled the software overclocker (MSI Command Center) and turned off the OC Genie in the BIOS. I reset the power supply levels to default, as well as anything else I could find in the BIOS. (I don't do overclocking at this point in my life. If I want a 5% boost in speed, I pay for it.)
  
  There are two fans on the case, one on the front and one on the back. The computer is currently in a corner area with little to no ventilation, so that's the next thing we're changing. However, I thought it might be useful to ask for advice from all of you.
  
  Any advice on what I can do to help cool this thing? I know AMDs tend to run much hotter than Intels, but this seems ridiculous. In general I see acceptable ranges of 20° C to 60° C. Would you guys agree that's an acceptable range?
  
  If necessary we can buy a new case and put the T4, or whatever recommended cooler is there, on the PC.
  
  Thanks.

That should be everything you need to game comfortably with your budget. I did not include a monitor as I will assume that you already have one, if not here is a link.

Monitor:https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VS248HR-inch-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B014RKZ81O/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1483406751&sr=1-1&keywords=Monitor

Instead of 1 stick of 8gb ram get 2 sticks of 4gb. http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-FURY-2x4GB-1600MHz/dp/B00J8E93G6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408395344&sr=8-2&keywords=8+gb+ram This will help with dual channel memory. Unless your heart is set on the h440 you can probably get a case for much cheaper. For $20 more you SHOULD get the new i5-4690k. http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-BX80646I54690K/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408395104&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+4670k This is completely personal, but I would get GTX 770 over a 280x. Again this is completely personal. Any other questions just ask.

No problem. After posting the newegg link earlier, I found someone who posted the 4690k being $209 on Amazon, could save a little.

i7 for gaming usage is overkill, get an i5-4690K instead.

Get a Z97 board to match your i5-4690K. This MSI Z97 PC MATE should do the job.

Get a CPU Cooler if you're going to OC it, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

4690k 4690 ($219.99 at NCIX)


EDIT: sorry the 4690k is cheapest at Amazon ($235), seen it on sale for $210 though, you can also get it at Microcenter (if there's one near you) for $200 (or $300 if you bundle it with a processor - sick deal): http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-BX80646I54690K/dp/B00KPRWB9G

CPU: Just realized the Microcenter price carried over on this which sucks if you're not near one.. Only thing you'd loose is the overclock ability. Price should be about $209.99 from Amazon which should bring the total build price to ~$760

MOBO: I've seen it recommended with the Pentium G3528 or something for overclocking, was inexpensive, couldn't go wrong really. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the more expensive boards but we don't really need those as of yet (just wait until your friend really gets into gaming/custom PCs.. most of the premium boards are for looks IMO, but dammit I like my PC to look badass :p )

RAM: can drop to 2 x 2gb if you need to shave the price some. I put in 8gb just so you wouldn't have to upgrade that later. There shouldn't be any need to bump it further unless your friend starts running a bunch of crap simultaneously and needs it all open or starts doing some large video editing/rendering

STORAGE: 1 TB is a good place to start, an SSD for the OS would be great as well if you can find a good, inexpensive one and allows for the HDD to be used for more extra. You can grab a 2TB Seagate drive for $30 more, but I'm not sure how they perform or how reliable they can be so that's up to you

GPU: 750Ti is still the entry point to 1080p gaming, I believe. It'll do fine for everyday stuff and if he decides to pick up light gaming in the beginning

CASE: seems pretty solid, has room for 3 more SSDs/HDDs when/if you want them. Decent airflow and cable management stuff. If you notice heating/airflow issues then you can slap some fans in there

PSU: seasonic is supposedly one of the best brands to go with, 80+ Gold rating is hard to beat with that.. You can get an EVGA 750W for about $10 more but I wasn't sure how far you planned to upgrade (like SLI and stuff) so I left it high enough for something like a single GTX970 to still do well.

OS: Personal preference.. I like 8.1 over 7. The metro stuff doesn't take too much to get used to and the OS just feels a bit more optimized over 7.

NOTES: If you need to, you can remove the GPU and get one later. The i5's HD4600 can do decently well on its own, but you will need a GPU for some of the heavier games your friend may or may not get in to.

Didn't add a monitor but left enough of a budget in there for you to choose one to your/your friend's liking

I didn't add a cooler like the 212 EVO as I don't think you'd be overclocking straight out of the gate. You can add one in there for another $30 or so if you want to

DISCLAIMER: THIS BUILD WAS MADE WITH GAMING DOWN THE ROAD IN MIND AS TO MINIMIZE LATER UPGRADE COSTS.

That being said, someone else may come along and throw a more inexpensive alternative out that leans more towards general use (which you really don't need the top-of-the-line i5 for)

The 280x is equivalent (better in some games) and cheaper than the gtx 770
http://www.amazon.fr/Asus-R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-Carte-Graphique-Radeon/dp/B00FRV9FDK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1416550430&sr=8-4&keywords=280x

You could also get this for your power supply since you don't need that much power:
http://www.amazon.fr/Corsair-Alimentation-Series-CX600-CP-9020048-EU/dp/B009D79Z9I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416550593&sr=8-2&keywords=600w

Use this for motherboard:
http://www.amazon.fr/Gigabyte-Z97-HD3-Carte-Intel-Socket/dp/B00K9R1NMS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1416550662&sr=8-3&keywords=z97

And 4690k for CPU:
http://www.amazon.fr/Intel-Processeur-coeurs-LGA1150-Version/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416550696&sr=8-1&keywords=4690k

There you go, quite a bit cheaper and more powerful. Everything else in your build looks fine.

It says so on the UK Amazon page
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=HOJJBM2A390G&coliid=ICQVRIJNGEY1B

So, a 980Ti would perform better then a 2x970 SLI setup?

Couldn't find the "K" version from the 4590 but I did found the 4690K. 40€ more, is it worth it?

The 167mm Hyper 212 Evo would be a nice fit then?



Edit: I saw PCMasterRace Builds and the "End-All" says a R9 380 8GB would be a recommended. I'm I missing something? Since I do know that AMD is a better bang for your buck but I saw some Benchmarks and the R9 seems to be under the NVidia equivalents (mainly I guess to how the current market is made)

Comments:

1. You can always add in more RAM later. You probably won't use more than 8GB though.
   
2. I like DELL monitors but you can always look for another cheaper one. The DELL is an IPS so it looks pretty.
   
3. The H80i is really there only if you're looking at overclocking. Otherwise, it's overkill for stock settings.
   
4. The Windows 8.1 license really brings the price up. If you can find it anywhere for cheaper or you have your own license, that'll help you spending considerably.
   
5. If you don't necessarily like the case, there are plenty of others out there. I'm not sure what type of case you like so I figured I'd go with the one you mentioned.

Looks good, but now that CPU is on sale on amazon for $80 less than you have it listed.

That's pretty distasteful (the death threats, not your question), hell I've been building PCs for 16 years and I'm not positive you can't build a laptop. Certainly not in the traditional sense of buying individual components, but I bet you could piece together some sort of frankenlaptop from existing parts. Or build a PC into a briefcase emulate a laptops portability. Which I know works cause I know someone who did it back in the 90s.

I get that you don't want to go back to /r/buildapc but you really don't need to spend $2400.

16GB of RAM isn't strictly needed for games, very few will take advantage of that much. I can think of 1, Planetary Annihilation.

Anyway this is off the top of my head w/ out any research into cutting costs whatsoever. Spending some time on google you could prob shave off a few hundred.

4690K - $233

16GB RAM - $147

GTX 970 - $350

SSD - $127

PSU - $60

Motherboard - $140

HDD - $78

KB+M - $15

Windows - $92

Unless you are buying a $1200 dollar computer case, there's your good PC at half your expected cost.

I didn't include a monitor cause I'm going to assume that since your presently gaming on your 360 you have a TV and you can just plug your PC into that w/ a HDMI cable. Hell you can use same one you were using on your xbox after you throw it out since this PC will crush it. :-P

Oh whoops, wrong link!
