u/aereventia · 67 pointsr/buildapc

Agreed. As long as the parts are compatible, which we can help with, assembling a pc is the way to go. This budget is difficult, though. Ideally you’d budget $250 (210€?)just for the graphics card. You really want a GTX1060. The graphics card is everything in a gaming computer. You won’t have much budget left; that means bare minimums on everything else.

This build is an excellent place to start:

PCGamer.com cheapest gaming computer build

Intel Pentium G4560
GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
ASRock B250M Pro4
Crucial 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2133
Crucial MX300 275GB
EVGA 450W 80+ Bronze PSU

Don’t forget a copy of Windows 10, a decent mouse, keyboard, monitor, and headphones or speakers.

Also I’ll suggest you reuse an old 7200rpm SATA hard drive (250gb+)if you have one in an old PC. This isn’t ideal, but it will help control costs and while it will make the game load slower than the Crucial MX300 listed above, it wont really affect gameplay.

EDIT:
Based on feedback and current prices, I suggest the following hardware:

u/RiftBladeMC · 55 pointsr/buildapc

My recommendations on your new build:

  1. Get a 3600 instead of a 3600x, the 3600x is not worth the extra $50. (See this video for info)

  2. I recommend 2x8GB
    single rank Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200c16 or 3000c15, this is know for being famously good at overclocking, just make sure the model number contains "AES" near the end.

  3. Even if you don't plan on overclocking, you can use Ryzen DRAM Calculator to generate ram overclock settings that are as easy as enter into BIOS, stress test with stress testing tool built into DRAM Calculator for a few hours, and done. (I recommend trying 3600-Fast profile for Micron Rev.E in DRAM Calculator, then if it fails the stress test then 3600-Safe)

  4. Look at Intel 660p SSD's, they are very slightly (~10%) behind the best ones, but at a much lower cost, and with how fast NVME drives are you probably won't be able to tell the difference.

    Edit: I just noticed that you want RGB ram, in that case I would recommend G.Skill TridentZ Neo, but be warned that you will need a $170 kit of this to get as good performance as $78 Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3200c16.

    Edit 2: Mathmatically Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000c15 is better, however in practice 3200c16 is better.
u/DarkStarFTW · 50 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

This RAM is actually 3600 CL18 (18-22-22-42 timings) and not the CL16 shown on Amazon. See the model number: CMK16GX4M2Z3600C18

PCPartPicker also agrees. These sticks aren't on the B-Die list which would 3600 CL16 almost certainly be. The only B-Die from Corsair that is 2x8GB and 3600 CL16 is their Corsair Dominator RGB and Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro. This is clearly not any of those kits.

These are Hynix AFR chips.

---

With such bad timings, buy some 3000 CL15 or 3200 CL16 RAM and you should be able to reach 3600 CL18 easily (though staying at 3000 CL15 or 3200 CL16 is probably better performance wise)

Here's a Team kit for $126 + shipping on Newegg, a G.Skill kit for $130 + shipping or some more Corsair RAM for $135 on Amazon that almost certainly can clock to 3600 CL18. Save yourself the extra $55 or time from having to return it to Amazon when you discover it's CL18.

If you want real B-Die, I think this G.SKILL Ripjaws V kit is the cheapest for $193 + $6 shipping from Newegg with 14-14-14-34 timings at 3000mhz. You can clock it to 3600 CL16 fairly easily. Pay the extra $10 for real B-Die or wait till a eBay coupon if you want cheap B-Die.

u/Catolid · 44 pointsr/buildapcsalesuk

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.

I have this kit and it is Hynix CJR. If you want Micron E-die, I would just get the Crucial Ballistix 3000 CL15 from amazon. They all clock to 3600 CL16 anyways with some tweaking.

u/TragicKid · 16 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

If you're looking for a good pair of cheap ram, get Micron rev E. Specifically those Crucial kits with "AES" on the part number.

Got mine at 3733 Mhz CL16 stable. My IF is unstable at 1900Mhz, could possibly push higher on Intel systems.

u/shibaIz · 14 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Should I buy these or the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT AES kit to pair with a r5 3600? I know this is $30 cheaper but I heard the crucial kit can be overclocked to 3733mhz cl17 or 3600 cl16 which are supposedly the optimal configurations for ryzen 3000. Does the performance gains of the crucial kit justify the $30 price increase?

u/chx_ · 14 pointsr/hardware

This with the 3950X must be the best value on the workstation market, especially the compact WS market. Have you seen the four RAM slots on an ITX? 128GB RAM for 500 USD ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N124XDS ) is pretty insane.

Pity they didn't put PCIe lanes in that OCuLink .

u/CIockwerk · 14 pointsr/pcmasterrace



Hey! It looks like you've got a pretty solid build started here! I just want to point out a few things to make your life just a little bit easier.

  1. The motherboard you have will NOT work with the CPU that you've chosen. You picked a Z170A board, which works with the 6th and 7th generation (if BIOS is flashed) of Intel CPU's, and you're buying an 8th generation. So I would recommend this board or this one instead. Either will work, it just depends on how much money you want to spend.
  2. Don't buy the power supply you've picked. It puts out way more wattage than you'll use, so I would recommend saving some money and maybe picking up this one. As a bonus it has an RGB fan, so that's kinda cool. It's also fully modular, meaning that you only need to plug the cables into the PSU that you need instead of having extras to hide in your case.
  3. I'd also save some money on your RAM. This set is cheaper, faster, and only requires that you use two of your RAM slots instead of all four. More upgradeability in the future!
  4. Think about if you really need 2TB of storage right now. The 1TB SSD you have picked out is going to be great, and if you're new to PC gaming it's going to have plenty of space for awhile. You can always pick up a new HDD (like the Seagate one you have in your cart) later down the road.
  5. With the money that you've saved, I think that you could upgrade your graphics card from your 1060 (a GREAT option, don't get me wrong) to a 1070 like this one. (EVGA is a great company in my opinion, and I love their graphics cards.) It's a great contender for both 1440p and 1080p gaming!
  6. Others have said to get a cheaper air cooler instead of opting for the water cooler that you've picked. If you decide to go that route (completely fine) I would maybe go with something like this if you want something extra beefy to keep your CPU cool, or this less beefy one. Either way, 8th generation CPUs run hot, so the water cooler you have would work great.

    So there ya go! I hope that you enjoy your new build, it's going to be amazing! If you PM me I'll add you on Steam and we can play some games together when your build is all set!

Because I'm bored and do this for a living I'm going to put together an alt build for you:

Nice entry level Skylake gaming Mobo (I've used this, it's nice, has USB 3.1 which will be very helpful in the coming years for data transfers)

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Skylake-Motherboard-H110M/dp/B01B4U47E4/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486579857&sr=1-2&keywords=lga+1151

Processor: G440

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BX80662G4400-Pentium-Processor-FCLGA1151/dp/B015VPX05A

RAM (only 8GB but get 16 if you can afford another $40 or so)

https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-HyperX-2133MHz-Non-ECC-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486579959&sr=1-5&keywords=DDR4

Video card:

RX 470 OC edition, I like this card great bang for the buck:

https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Radeon-RX-470-ARMOR/dp/B01N3TCNNW/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580034&sr=1-1&keywords=RX+470+4gb

SSD: budget one, but way better than a spinning drive:

https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-240GB-Internal-SP240GBSS3S55S25AE/dp/B01M61OWRI/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580111&sr=1-1&keywords=240gb+ssd

Power supply:

no reason to spend more with this build:

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580138&sr=1-1&keywords=400+watt+power+supply

Case:

https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-VERSA-Micro-Gaming-Computer/dp/B01CLIZ698/ref=sr_1_5?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1486580162&sr=1-5&keywords=micro+atx+case

total cost of build is roughly:


Mobo ($70)

CPU ($60)

GPU ($170)

RAM ($70)

SSD ($60)

PSU ($30)

Case ($40)

So total is roughly $500 and with this build you have a great upgrade path, which you won't have at all with the one you proposed.

u/landoooo · 10 pointsr/Amd

I think SSDs are cheap enough now that for a 1tb you'd be better off getting something like this https://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-Performance-Internal-SP001TBSS3A55S25/dp/B07B4G19X3/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=1tb+ssd&qid=1559335102&s=electronics&sr=1-6-spell

About the same cost as your 2 drives together and 240GB less storage, but you'll enjoy fitting that many games on the SSD. Plus by the time you run out of space, you might have the cash to upgrade to an M.2 SSD

​

​

Edit: Also, I'd go for something like this for RAM

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2GS78Z9KL72RH&keywords=3200+mhz+ddr4&qid=1559335538&s=electronics&sprefix=3200%2Celectronics%2C165&sr=1-3

Ryzen likes fast RAM, and most people consider 3200Mhz to be the minimum to consider buying. Also priced similar to the kit you have listed.

BUT i upgraded to that RAM and the ryzen 1600x hoping to get to 80fps but after the install i was only around 30.

the i did the BIOS upgrade (there was already 3 out at the time i dont know if there are NEWER ones) and i got me to 60fps.

still disappointing but MUCH better. reading you were at 80-120fps made me realize THATS WHERE IM SUPPOSED TO BE!

u/paulatreides0 · 7 pointsr/neoliberal

/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.

I have the same 13” mid 2012 MBP and am running 16gb of RAM w/ a 1TB SSD. I also have the same version of Ableton as you. The official specs from Apple list 8gb RAM as the max but it can for sure support 16gb. Based on the specs you provided I’d guess you have the i5 version which comes stock with 4gb of RAM and the 500gb HDD. Your model will support 16gb and you’ll see a significant boost in performance, with Ableton and the computer in general, if you add 16gb and an SSD. If you leave the standard 500gb HDD, I'd assume you'd only see a moderate boost in performance since that's really the big driver of slow performance. I can't speak to the performance of Omnisphere as I don't have a working copy but I do know it made a significant boost for pretty much everything in Ableton and otherwise.

​

My recommendation would be to add 16gb of RAM plus an SSD. They are both relatively straight forward processes as well (links below), just need the right tools and to take your time. Watch YouTube tutorials. Attaching links to the items I have in mine. I'd recommend getting the Crucial RAM and Samsung SSD (which is what I have and has a higher performance rating), but the Crucial SSD will be adequate as well.

​

Let me know if you have other questions on it.

For what it's worth, your asking price is on track with the new price of RAM. I recently bought a 4gb stick of ddr3 sodimm on amazon new for $20 with free shipping. Not trying to be rude or anything, you'll just have a pile of sodimm at this price. Good luck with sale!

Edit: and apparently 8GB sticks can be had new for ~$34. Link

u/Drarrhat · 6 pointsr/buildapcsales

This seems to be Prime only.

Also, Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 2133MHz DDR4 CL14 for $50. Overclocks to 2666MHz. There were 30 in stock when I ordered, currently backordered until April 19.

EDIT: Ignore that last paragraph if you're getting Ryzen. It needs more MHz.

u/zenthrowaway17 · 6 pointsr/buildapc

$110+shipping is very expensive for being the bare minimum RAM you might need.

Something like this for $125 with free shipping is much higher performance for barely any extra cost.

Alternatively, these are still higher performance than what you have listed but only cost $100+$6 shipping.

u/nannerb121 · 6 pointsr/buildapcsales

Not sure why they'd throw a 9900K with a 2070... i mean the price isnt God awful... but if you want to save some money I'd go with THIS ONE... quite a bit cheaper and still has a 2070... will fare just fine for the greater majority of things.

​

Edit: the one thing that I'd be careful with on this one is the RAM that it comes with... seems to come with 2400mhz ram... not sure how much you know about RYZEN but RAM speed matters a lot more for them compared to Intel... If you go for this computer... I'd probably take the ram out and sell it and throw in something like this. The processor will run MUCH better with that ram and youll probably only have to spend about $40-$50 more after you sell the ram that the computer comes with

u/BboySparrow · 6 pointsr/buildapcsales

How much better is C14 to C16?

You can get a Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200mhx for $78.
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC?th=1

is $42 worth it for tighter timings?

u/MountCydonia · 6 pointsr/buildapcsalesuk

Not really worth it considering the 3200 MHz kit is less than £5 more expensive.

u/FwiffoTheBrave · 6 pointsr/Stellaris

>Mhz really doesn't matter at all
>
>CAS latency

How does that even fit into the same message? You're completely wrong.

TL;DR. No, the RAM clock means a lot. Detailed explanation with examples and math below.

Your comparison to cars is also completely off the mark. To even bring it to something remotely correct, you have to account for the different cars, where slower RAM is an industrial truck running in higher gear, whereas the faster RAM is a sports supercar running 1 gear below the truck, so a truck in 4th gear with medium RPM against a supercar in 3rd gear with high RPM, going in a straight line on a completely flat asphalt road. Want to take a guess which one would win?

I'll even ignore the fact that higher-clocked RAM often has same CAS latency than lower-clocked RAM for the sake of argument.

So here's an explanation of how Mhz and CAS latency really work, which illustrates this point. First off, CAS latency is literally measured in memory cycles, which are measured in Mhz. I'll operate with nanoseconds in my calculations, so Mhz will be translated to Ghz (1Ghz is 10\^9 hz, while 1ns=10\^-9 sec) for easier-to-read numbers.

Say you have a typical 3200Mhz RAM stick (16gb, 75$) with 16 CAS latency. Keeping in mind that the bandwidth for memory commands operate at half the spec clock, we come to 3200Mhz for data transfer, but only 1600Mhz (1600 million per second, or 1.6 billion) for memory commands. Time for one full cycle is thus 1/1600000000 = 0.625ns. Then we multiply that value by the CAS latency number to translate cycles from latency to seconds: 0.625 * 16 = 10ns. This is the real latency of such a stick.

For comparison, let's take this G.Skill memory set (16gb, 70$ - I couldn't find faster) with 2666Mhz and 15 CAS latency. Doing the same procedure, we get 1.333Ghz clock for command interface, full cycle time of 1/1333000000 = 0.750ns, and finally the real latency of 0.750 * 15 = 11.25ns.

If you take RAM with even higher clocks, the difference will be even bigger, for instance RAM with 3600Mhz and 19 CAS latency (10.6ns) would still be faster than 2666Mhz 15 CAS one (11.25ns).

Not only is the first set clocked higher, which brings additional advantages with certain CPU models, especially Ryzen, it also has lower actual latency despite having higher CAS latency. It is literally better in every single aspect that concerns performance. To match that at all, the slower 2666Mhz stick would need 13 CAS latency (that would bring it to 9.75ns), and I couldn't find memory like that. Or in reverse, to make the higher-clocked memory run as slow as the lower-clocked one, you would need 17 CAS latency (would bring it to 11.33ns), which would make the real latency only marginally bigger (we're talking about fractions of a nanosecond here) while having significantly higher throughput, so it would still be faster overall.

So yeah, I would say Mhz of the RAM means a whole lot, while it is actually hard to find higher-clocked RAM with CAS latency bad enough to make it slower than lower-clocked RAM.

I wish I knew where to post the refined version, because it seems wasted

PC building notes, 2019 Q3


Introduction


This post is a a "guide" to PC building in late 2019. It is incomplete
in two senses. First, I make no special claims to authority or objectivity.
I'm just an enthusiast. I have only personally tested a fraction of the parts
listed below. Second, I am writing this before the Intel 10th-gen refresh
and before the release AMD's flagship 3950X. Those new parts may impact some
of the advice given below.

This guide is extremely opinionated. I will simplify and exaggerate to
keep things simple.

This post was written while drinking whisky and listening to
enka.

Internals


What's inside your PC


A PC has seven core components. They are,

  1. CPU: the central processing unit. The thing that does calculations.
  2. Motherboard: the bit that all the other bits slot into
  3. GPU: the graphics processing unit. For frames in games.
  4. RAM: Random Access Memory. Fast, volatile, short-term storage.
  5. Storage: longer-term storage. Comes in several flavors, mainly solid state
    and hard disk.
  6. PSU: the power supply unit. The bit that delivers power to the other bits.
  7. Case: a steel box that you put the other bits in.

    A word first on compatibility. The skeleton of the build is the motherboard,
    and you have to make sure that every other bit is compatible with your board.
    There are two CPU manufacturers, AMD and Intel; each has their own CPU
    design and thus has their own motherboard type. RAM, storage, PSUs, and GPUs
    are all cross-compatible with either AMD or Intel motherboards.
    Motherboards come in different sizes. A case will be compatible with certain
    size ranges. From small to big, these are ITX, m-ATX, ATX, and
    E-ATX. You'll want to check that your motherboard can fit in your case.

    CPUs


    AMD's most current CPUs are the 3000-series Ryzen chips. There are a bunch
    of them, but the only two you have to care about are the

  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 ($200)
  • AMD Ryzen 7 3700X ($330)

    The other options are the 3600X, the 3800X, and the 3900X. None of these
    are interesting compared to the two listed above, and can be safely ignored.

    Intel's current CPUs are the 9th-gen Core chips. I would only seriously
    consider two of these chips,

  • Intel i7-9700K ($380)
  • Intel i9-9900K ($450-$500)

    and I'd ignore the rest. If you want to spend less than $350 on a CPU,
    then go AMD. If you want to spend more than $350 on a CPU,
    go Intel.

    A word about prior-gen chips. The AMD 2000 series (2700X, 2600) and the
    Intel 8th gen series (8700K) are still viable at the right price. Look at
    benchmarks. More on that later.

    A word about lower-spec CPUs. AMD sells cheap CPUs that have integrated
    graphics. That means you don't need to buy a graphics card with these chips.
    As such, a build with the 3400G or 3200G can be extremely inexpensive. Consider
    them for office use or basic builds that don't require heavy graphics.
    I have personally tested them and they play 4K video flawlessly; they should
    be perfectly adequate for basic tasks.

    For scientific workloads, ask me to write another post. I can't cover
    everything here.


    Motherboard


    Motherboards only accept either AMD or Intel CPUs, but not both, so you must
    choose a board that is compatible with your CPU.
    Once you decide between AMD or Intel, you can proceed to figure out which
    motherboard you want. There are approximately six billion boards. For AMD,
    skip the hassle and just buy the

  • MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX

    Note the "MAX." The Tomahawk was released during the 1000- and 2000-series
    of AMD processors. The MAX variant is compatible with 3000-series chips
    out of the box.

    For Intel, I know far less. Any Z390 board should be acceptable.

    For AMD, the new X570 boards are available as well. They are pricey and
    overkill for 90% of desktop users. Feel free to skip them. Look out for the
    B550 boards that are to be released in 2020Q1.


    GPU


    There are two main manufacturers of GPUs: AMD and Nvidia. Confusingly, they
    do not sell GPUs themselves, but market them through partners like MSI,
    EVGA, PowerColor, Sapphire, etc.

    The GPU stack is a little confusing.
    That chart lists all of the main GPUs on the market, and if you count, there
    are over 25 GPUs listed. Multiply 25 GPUs by 10 or so board partners,
    multiplied again by the fact that each partner sells multiple types of the same
    GPU, and you have a recipe for an absolute nightmare of a market.
    The prices are only approximate.

    Let me cut through the fog. You should buy one of

  • AMD RX 570 ($130)
  • Nvidia 1660 or AMD RX 590 ($220-$280)
  • AMD RX 5700 XT ($400-$430)
  • Nvidia 2080 Super ($700)
  • Nvidia 2080 Ti ($1200)

    Pick your price point.


    RAM


    RAM is distinguished by its generation. We are currently on DDR4, with
    DDR5 to come in either 2020 or 2021. This part is easy. Just buy
    16GB of DDR4 3200-speed RAM and be done with it.
    This kit
    will set you back $75 to $85 depending on the day of the week and will perform
    adequately for 99.98% of users.

    Storage


    In 2019, there is no excuse for not buying fast solid-state storage.
    For 90% of users, you should buy either the 500GB or 1TB variant of the
    Intel 660p and call it a day.
    This reviewer
    is 100% paid off by Intel, but he's also right on this topic. Buy a 660p
    and rest easy.

    For enthusiasts, the 660p uses new, cheap, somewhat fragile QLC NAND technology
    and you might want to go with a Samsung 970 instead.

    That does it for your boot drive. If you need further long-term storage for
    music, movies, videos, games, etc, look into either Seagate or WD's 8TB to
    12TB options.

    I personally have a few WD Gold 12TB drives. They're pricey, but they're
    enterprise-grade and haven't done me wrong yet. My firm, which buys storage
    by the truckload, loves these things. They rarely fail.

    I personally am using a 660p for OS, a second SSD for
    some of my media, and HDDs for long-term storage.

    Power


    I have neither the time nor the expertise to get into a deep discussion of
    power supplies. The topic is apparently very complicated. You should buy
    something in the 550W to 750W from a manufacturer like Corsair, EVGA,
    or CoolerMaster. Make sure it has the number of VGA connectors that your GPU
    requires.

    Case


    The case is the place to really personalize your build. Try not to spend
    more than $100, though; at the end of the day, it's just a steel box.

    Peripherals


    In some ways, the bits outside the computer are more important than the bits
    inside. After all, these are the bits you interact with on a daily basis.

  • Monitors
  • Keyboard
  • Mouse
  • Headphones or speakers
  • Chair
  • Desk

    Monitors


    Monitors are distinguished by size and resolution.

    The resolutions available are 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. I recommend the following.

  • 24" 1080p for entry-level gaming and for most office work
  • 25" or 27" 1440p
  • 32" or higher 4K

    You may also care about refresh rate; the most common refresh rates are 60Hz
    and 144Hz. These only matter for gaming.

    One particular sweet spot is the "1440p, 27", 144Hz refresh rate" class. Look
    up benchmarks and comparison videos.

    Keyboard


    Pick to taste. Some swear by mechanical keyboards. Others buy standalone
    keyboards that mimic the laptop keyboard that they're used to.

    Mouse

    I have used the Logitech G500 and Logitech G403, and both are fine. They're
    somewhat expensive and will run you about $70.

    Sound


    There are a million ways to fulfill your sound needs. For wired headsets,
    the bone-stock recommendation is the AudioTechnica ATH-M50x.
    For speakers, I can recommend the Klipsch 2+1.

    For more earphone and headphone suggestions, ask me for an extended discussion.

    Chair and desk


    Don't neglect these. You'll be sitting at that chair for several hours per
    day, and you'll use that desk forever. Measure how wide your monitors will be
    and buy a desk accordingly. Go to an office supply shop and sit in a few chairs;
    pick one that you like. Your desk and chair will last forever, so don't be
    afraid to spend a little money here.

    Advice


    Read Logical Increments in its entirety.

    Watch videos from real, serious hardware reviewers. I recommend
    Gamers Nexus, Paul's Hardware, and Hardware Unboxed. Anyone else is either
    subpar or bought out or provides worthless advice.

    Do research, think for yourself, and ask me questions. I'll either give you
    advice or point you to reliable resources if I think my advice would be lacking.

I worked out a 3600 build for my buddy and I ended up getting these which are posted around here pretty often, and can apparently OC up to 3600CL16. At that time these patriots were $140ish. I would have seriously considered these up for him at this price point.

That said, there are a lot of mixed reviews on these. Some people hit the advertised timings no problem, others can't do it at all. That's what swayed me away from these, so YMMV I guess.

Definitely works fine with 16GB. I've used 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 then upgraded to 2 x 8GB 1866 which worked with a custom bios at the full 1866 speed. Both were sets from Amazon 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 and 2 x 8GB DDR3 1866.

u/Mindless_Art · 5 pointsr/mac

It's still worth it if you are willing to exchange the HDD for an SSD and insert 8 GB RAM or better yet 16 GB RAM. With the original HDD and 4 GB RAM it will be slow of course, you can significantly speed it up with those upgrades. Battery is also easily exchangeable. That being said, the machine weighs 2.06 kg, which is quite hefty for a 13" laptop these days.

In terms of macOS support, it can run both the current macOS 10.14 Mojave and the upcoming macOS 10.15 Catalina. Catalina is guaranteed to receive security updates until autumn 2022, so you should be good for quite some time even if Apple should decide to drop the machine from support with macOS 10.16 next year.

In the following, I'll attach hints regarding which RAM and SSDs are compatible.

-----

The MacBook Pro 2012 supports up to 16 GB RAM (2 x 8 GB RAM modules). It has two RAM slots, meaning two RAM modules in total will fit in. A higher total amount than 16 GB RAM won't work due to a limitation in the logic board.

You need RAM which matches the following specification:

PC3-12800 DDR3 1600 MHz, 204-pin

Here are some examples of RAM modules that work flawlessly in the MBP 2012:

u/chilemaniac · 5 pointsr/buildapcsales

For those who wanted to buy this but missed the sale, the same ram is available for 34.99 here on amazon.

u/kspconfused · 5 pointsr/thinkpad

Figure $200-ish for the laptop, another ~$100 for the CPU, $150 for the SSD (though you could save $50), $30-40 for the keyboard, $100+ for the RAM, plus the cost of the screen upgrade if it originally came with the HD screen, and labor hours to install all of those upgrades, it might just be, depending on how new those parts are.

If you've spent the cash on the 1080, I'd say it's worth it to go for the 3000 or 3200.

I have a 1500x and the b350 and I've had no issues getting this to run full speed. Others have had issues getting ram to go full speed with ryzen, though, so YMMV.

u/Th3MadCreator · 5 pointsr/hardwareswap

Holy fuck when did RAM prices skyrocket? I bought that same 2x8GB kit about 3-4 months ago and it was like $120ish.

EDIT: Holy fuck man. I just looked at my Amazon order details and I paid $134.49 for a 2x8GB kit of 3200Mhz RAM that is now $228.99. God damn.

u/Fenrir-The-Wolf · 5 pointsr/PUBATTLEGROUNDS

16GB of DDR4 does not cost ~60-90$. Especially at 3000mhz.

2x8GB 3000mhz sticks of Corsair Vengance LPX is currently $195, A 525GB SSD is currently $130.

They are also on Amazon for the same price without the promo code. I assume it goes off sale at the same time.

u/coxxx98 · 5 pointsr/buildapcsalesuk

I'd personally pay £10 more for some E-die memory which will easily OC to 3600 CL16 for when you upgrade to Zen 2.

u/BandidTwitch · 4 pointsr/buildapc

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

u/notnerBtnarraT · 4 pointsr/buildapc

It doesn't matter where I live, anyone can order from Amazon https://www.amazon.de/Crucial-Ballistix-BLS2K8G4D30AESBK-Desktop-Speicher/dp/B07MGPH9R9/ref=dp_ob_title_ce


I'm talking about people that are buying b-die RAM which is cl14 just because they work better with Ryzen, they are at least x2 more expensive.

u/cellardoor240 · 4 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

You should choose the e-die micron that is found in the Ballistix sport LT, which can easily do 3733mhz CL16 - the absolute performance sweet spot for Ryzen 3xxx, according to AMD themselves.

u/BrownTown123 · 4 pointsr/buildapc

I would get a 3600 not a 3600X, stock 3600 is already perfect and if you need to you can overclock it to reach 3600X speeds.

For ram I would get at least 3200Mhz16CL, with 3600Mhz16Cl being the best option, but not necessary. There is a Cruicial Ballistix LT 3000Mhz15CL ram that can be easily overclocked to 3600Mhz16CL, I will look for a link.

3fan GPU is fine, especially if your gonna oc it. 2 fan GPU is good too, just might be slightly louder but tbh I can’t hear my fans over the game volume (which is usually set to medium to low volume)

If you play a lot of AAA games you might need a bigger SSD, as AAA games tend to be larger in size. If you are mainly gaming you could forego and HDD and get a bigger SSD


Here’s the RAM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07MGPH9R9/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1


EDIT: also usually the rgb lights on a mobo or ram can be turned off, so don’t worry about wether it has lights or not

u/bubblesort33 · 4 pointsr/buildapc

If you can manually OC you can get Ballistix Sport LT 3200mhz for $95-$105 CAN for 2x8 GB or 2x16GB for like $205. They are Micron e-die so OC extremely well on the cheap. I have my bro's 3000 cl15 kits at 3733mhz cl15. Anything with "AES" in the product code from them is e-die, so not all of them .

Hey, that drive is pretty good but this one's my recommendation if you want something faster with 2 Tb capacity, I personally use a 1tb version of this and I can tell you it's fast 3500mb reads and about 3300 writes.

As for ram you only have one option, right now only Samsung is making 32gb sodimms so if you want 64 gb that's what you have to go for, at least for the time being until another company gets around to making them. That said Samsung ram isn't the fastest but it's your only option if you want to go 32gb on each slot. There's stuff like hyper x impact which has lower latency at 15. Samsung's latency is 19, lower is better but it's not day and night difference either. I for one got the base config with 16gb and after I scanned it I found out they put Samsung ram on mine so I just bought a matching stick of 16gb to make it 32gb

No, if you're gonna buy a 2012 Unibody, I recommend going with a used one instead of refurbished. You CAN get one from Apple's refurb store, but I recommend eBay. Here's a link to one for $429.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/APPLE-MACBOOK-PRO-MID-2012-13-2-5GHz-i5-4GB-RAM-320GB-HDD-A1278-/192035795047?hash=item2cb639b067:g:h4sAAOSwcUBYNlST

Buy this, then buy an SSD and upgrade it. Upgrading to an SSD takes 10 minutes plus an hour to reinstall, and makes a world of a difference. Any monkey can upgrade to an SSD in one of these older machines. Here's a link to a few good SSDs depending on the size you need.

256GB SSD

Hope this helps! You should also upgrade it to 8GB RAM, and if you replace one of the sticks of RAM with an 8GB Stick, you'll have a total of 10GB, which is awesome. Here's a link to a good stick of RAM. You'll only need one.

https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC3L-12800-SODIMM-204-Pin/dp/B006YG8X9Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480020498&sr=8-1&keywords=8gb+ddr3+laptop

So if you get that MacBook Pro, a 256GB SSD, and the 8GB RAM stick, you'll have a GREAT machine for just under $550, which is almost $250 LESS than the one on Groupon, with MUCH BETTER SPECS!

Tl;Dr, no, that's a bad deal. Get what I recommended.

Also, there are guides on iFixit.com to show you how to replace the hard drive with an SSD and replace the RAM. All you need is a screwdriver and 10-15 minutes.

Personally, I'd go with a NUC. I'm also in security and am buying this:

  1. Low power consumption
  2. Small footprint
  3. Very low noise
  4. Reasonably priced
  5. Can do 16+ vm's with oversubscription of resources
u/Mateyosaur · 4 pointsr/buildapc

That is a steal, if you buy it for 750 AUD (540 USD) you could sell the RAM and buy faster sticks, like these ones. As for the CPU, you could overclock it with that liquid cooler, saving some money by not having to buy a new cpu. The GPU is worth the 750 AUD itself, but I can see if the value of it has gone down due to usage overtime. Other than that, this is a great rig and I'm sure it will perform great.

I got this same kit from Amazon very recently and can recommend it.

  • Seems to run very stable, detected by my Z77 mobo automatically.

  • Decent speeds for DDR3: 10-11-10-30 @ 1866MHz.

  • Last time I did an RMA for Kingston it was very painless and they covered all the costs, including shipping my failing stick to the USA for free. Just need to get to any FedEx location and give them some printed documents/packed dead stick. Took around 11 days in total.

u/kekmayd · 4 pointsr/Competitiveoverwatch

It's not true (at least not as it concerns Overwatch). You want fast RAM (which is measured in nanoseconds by the RAM's "true latency"). To calculate the true latency of your RAM, you do 2000 / (clock speed of your RAM) CAS Latency of your RAM. For example, I have this Corsair 3000 mhz DDR4 ram with 15 CAS latency so I would do 2000 / 3000 15 = 10 nanoseconds. You want your RAM's true latency to be 10 ns (nanoseconds) or less for Overwatch. This video does a really good job of explaining how clock speed and CAS latency work together and I need to give credit to /u/pyr0pr0 and his comment tree in this thread here for introducing me to these concepts

u/Scraps23 · 4 pointsr/MurderedByWords

Those specs are sub-par at best, and an absolute scam at worst. 8GB of RAM and 1TB of HDD for a $1700 machine?! There should be at least 16GB and an SSD for the OS at that price point.

In just 5 minutes I threw together an equivalent PC on Amazon for about half the price ($890: mobo, ram, gpu, cpu, hdd, display, mouse + keyboard, case.

Now how about you take a look at a PC with a similar price point? ($1680 : mobo, ram, gpu, cpu, ssd, hdd, same display, same mouse + keyboard, same case)

u/TThor · 3 pointsr/buildapc

The most important things with RAM (besides being the right type for your computer, such as DDR4), are: size (GB), clockspeed (mhz), and CAS timing (typically some number between 8-20).

The bigger the size the better, but these day 16GBs of ram is recommended, 32GB max for most users. The higher the clockspeed the better, but typically you get the most bang for your buck around 3000mhz or 3200mhz, over 3200 you tend to get diminishing performance returns for far higher cost; Also, make sure your motherboard supports the given clockspeed. CAS timing, this is a little complicated, but long story short the lower the timing the better, and the ram's actual performance is based on some equation of like clockspeed divided by cas timing or such. For 3200MHz ram, the typical cas timing is 16 (specifically "16, 18, 18, 18, 36", but don't worry about those other numbers, just the first one).

For good highspeed DDR4 ram that isn't crazy, I would recommend these.

Worth noting, if you have different ram in your computer running at different speeds, all of your ram will run as slow as the slowest ramstick. For that and some other reasons, it is best to keep all the ram in your PC the same type, so that they will all perform the same.

lol @ XBone. Sounds like the name of a villain in a 90s action movie.

Here's the deal. You can go the console route, and that's fine. But you're going to spend a lot more money in the long run.

You buy a PS4, an xbox one, a switch, whatever. Call it $400. OK. Cool. You buy games for it. $40, $30, $50. Sweet. Controllers. $50 $50 $50... Shit it's getting expensive. New games come out. Why the fuck are they $60 a piece? Holy shit. You wait a while. Jesus they only went down to $55? FFFFFFUUUUUU I wanna playyyyyyy.... Why aren't there more games and cheaper games? Granted, you do have the nice option to buy classic games on PSN and for Switch. Ugh.....fine, I'll shell out for Overwatch. Fine. I'll shell out for Destiny 2. Fuuuuck that was like $120. What....what the fuck is this? PS5? Nintendo Switch2?

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

BUT. Let me play out that scenario for you on a PC.

Total cost: $570 US, or roughly what you'd spend on your console and a few controllers.

BUT, now you have the entire library of all the computer games ever made at your disposal. Not to mention that, but you've got emulators to play all those classics that you could have bought on the PSN/Switch.

And instead of paying $60 every time a new game comes out, you look at what came out about 6 months ago. You put it on your steam wishlist. You get an email someday soon that says "an item on your wishlist is on sale."

Oh holy shit. Doom is $16. Holy fuck, it's the steam summer sale. Games are 75% off, 80% off....they're basically giving them away.

Then you sign up for Humble Bundle.

Holy shit. You can get Alien Isolation for $5.

These are 5 star games we're talking here. Not to mention you get like 10 no names to go with it. Hell, you're probably going to spend hours playing some of those.

Pretty soon you've got 100+ games that you may have spent a few hundred dollars on. Things are great, but you decide hey, I would LIKE to have a little more FPS on these. So you order yourself a new GT 1080, and sell your 1050 on ebay making back about $50. Later on down the line you decide to upgrade the processory, maybe add a stick of ram later. Now you got a stew goin. But you don't have to, that rig will play almost anything (though possibly on lower visual settings)

PC is just more budget friendly in my opinion. You never have to just throw the whole thing away and get a new one. You can always replace components and upgrade things individually. There's never new platforms to learn, get used to. You can always use your same old controller, and you can always play your old games. In my view, buying consoles is basically throwing away money because you have to buy so much hardware EVERY TIME they decide to release a new console.

There's give and take to it. I just like the stability and deep discounts I get from Steam, GOG, and Humble Bundle. I wouldn't even game if it wasn't this cheap.

And I've also been considering better ram since it's also better in terms of price/performance atm vs the ram I have (32GB C16 3600mHz RGB), which was insanely expensive when it launced a few months ago (when I built my pc) and right now is crazy cheap in comparison (€180 atm).

But I still wouldn't, as I can't justify paying that amount of cash for it since I don't even use my 16gb fully right now, the bits of Photoshop/After effects here and there really don't even push it.

So yeah waiting is always an option, because you will also think: "Do I REALLY need to though?"

Trying to be helpful, not critical when I say this, but most of these items can be bought brand new for cheaper than what you have listed.

Just one example.

Some ram kits rated at 3200 MHz are known to be great overclockable, like Micron E-die (it has AES in product number). Many have achieved OC them to 3600 MHz with a bit of tweaking in the BIOS. Like this kit:

https://www.amazon.com/Ballistix-Sport-PC4-24000-288-Pin-Memory/dp/B07MNJP6RW/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?keywords=micron%2Bedie&qid=1573415752&sr=8-1-fkmr0&th=1

Don't pay more for 3600 MHz RAM. Stay with 3200 MHz but if you are really after those few more frames, go with a kit that is known to be a great overclocker (Micron E-die, Samsung B-die, etc.). It's possible the Corsair kit you selected can be OC'ed, though I'm not sure.

u/rallymax · 3 pointsr/buildapc

For $7 more you can get Sabrent Rocket M.2 NVME drive.

Ditch RGB and for $10 less get Crucial Ballistix Sport LT which will overclock to 3400-3600MHz.

Otherwise, looks like a nice build.

u/Shrek-Boi · 3 pointsr/sffpc

The h210 is about 27 liters. I suggest a slightly smaller cases which is the Inwin a1 plus and it’s about 22 liters. That cases comes with a included 650w gold power supply, two fans, and a built in wireless charger. According the Gamer’s nexus’ review of the regular Inwin a1, it has better temps and airflow than the nzxt h200. I know that you said you prefer intel for the higher single core performance for games but if you want to save money then I suggest the Ryzen 5 3600. It’s $200 and gamer’s nexus said that it’s the best overall cpu of 2019. Also I don’t think you should water cool your gpu with that aio setup because air cooling with that evga model is more than enough. I don’t think you need cooler temps because the rtx 2070 super doesn’t have a lot of overclocking potential. If you want to save even more money then I suggest the going for the gigabyte model of the Rx 5700 xt because it’s slightly slower than the 2070 super and according to gamers nexus, it’s the best overall model for the Rx 5700 xt.

https://www.amazon.com/Ballistix-Sport-PC4-24000-288-Pin-Memory/dp/B07MNJP6RW/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=crucial%2Bram&qid=1574919515&sr=8-8&th=1&psc=1

I suggest you go with this ram because it’s cheaper and according to Buildzoid, it’s the best at overclocking for this price point. It can achieve 3800 speeds really easily. If you change the cpu and gpu then you get roughly 7-10% less performance but for much less money

u/rchiwawa · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Sure thing.

​

Also, if you want price performance with a lot of overclocking capability, consider this memory. It is cheaper if you don't mind this color and no RGB. After CPU overclocking got kind of boring for me, I got into memory overclocking hardcore and for the money, this is really good memory. Whther you run it at XMP (automatic) or want to learn the dark art of memory tuning it is a super-solid kit.

u/Pehowell · 3 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

I've been thinking about finally upgrading my RAM. Currently only have 8GB at a fairly low speed. Not sure exactly, maybe DDR4 2400 (or lower). Anyway, Two of the most recent RAM related posts on this subreddit caught my attention. One suggested Micron Rev-E as the best bang-for-the-buck option currently on the market. Specifically, this one.
And then a couple of days later, somebody posted this and everybody said it was basically the best RAM that money can buy right now... so here's my question: If my budget is about $200, and I've got a basic "power user with some gaming" use-case, would I be better off with 32GB of the former, or 16GB of the latter?

u/MechAegis · 3 pointsr/buildapcsales

Interesting, the gray set on Amazon has the model number as BLS2K8G4D32AESBK while the one on Newegg is BLS2K8G4D32AESEK.

Is there a particular difference between the two sets besides the color?

Yes. Samsung I believe is currently the only company manufacturing a 2666MHz 32GB SODIMM but it's rated at CL19.

u/inubaran · 3 pointsr/thinkpad

Not the answer you’re looking for but sharing it anyway as you might have not considered it. I’m not sure about your reason why you would want a 16gb x16gb config but for mine I got 16gb stock and bought a 32gb. The reason is so I could keep my exisiting RAM and if I plan to upgrade in the future then I just replace the 16Gb with another 32gb. I got mine from amazon.

I got the configuration 50% off through JPChase perks, I couldn't pass it up, so I just got the RAM. However, it is pretty cheap. My configuration came with the RAM below, and they inserted it under the keyboard. So the remaining two slots are easily accessible under the back cover, although I don't think I need more than 64.

I used to be sceptical that it was possible, but since seeing this post I've been working out how much a PC that runs BF4 at recommended PC spec would cost.

u/humjaba · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Is there a particular reason you're dumping $40 on two fans? The rosewill case you've got listed appears to have fans in every available slot. I'd consider this power supply to knock off another $30, and this RAM (I also have a preference to Corsair, they make good stuff). Otherwise it looks good.

u/Soviet_Llama · 3 pointsr/buildapc

>Do you multitask while gaming (netflix,spotify,hulu)

If yes, keep the 16gb of ram, but i'd go with this. I've been using corsiar vengeance for almost 4 months now and it's kicking ass.

If no, then i'd downgrade to 8gb of ram, since most games only utilize 1-5gb and rarely take advantage of 8.

>Do you plan on steaming gameplay / editing video?

if yes, then powerraptor is right, the 4790k is faster for a tad bit more.

if no, then all you need is an i5. I've been using the i5-4690k overclocked at 4.0ghz and it blows through any task without stuttering.

IF you only get 8gb of ram, take that 70-100 dollars saved and put it into a gtx 770 or r9 290 instead of the 760.

u/Ollie1700 · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Hi there! Newbie questions:

I have an ASUS P8Z77-V motherboard with an i7-3770K, 8gb of corsair ram and a Geforce GT 640. I'm looking to add more RAM and possibly a better graphics card. I was looking at this ram and was wondering if I could just stick this in along with the 8GB i already have? There are two spare slots for RAM so I'm guessing this is OK.

As for the graphics card, a lot of games run smoothly for me but more recent games just seem to have terrible FPS (namely The Evil Within; it is completely unplayable at max resolution with LOWEST graphics settings) - was wondering what graphics card people would recommend with a budget of £300 (~$470).

Thanks for any advice!

u/EyLuis · 3 pointsr/technology

Thanks for asking! I actually replaced my motherboard last friday with the exact motherboard listed above. It performs way better than my old pc mate, and has some options for fast booting too.

Here's an Amazon link for the MSI z97 gaming 5. (~$150)

For your ram I would double up and get 16GB of ram. 8GB is the standard at the moment, however with how cheap ram is getting it's no harm to start get your PC ready for the next couple of years.

Here's an Amazon link for 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 memory. (~$80)

And considering you have $500 left for the CPU, I would actually go with the Intel i7 4790k processor. You can't go wrong with it if you're looking for running games, plus it's good for multi-tasking, editing, rendering, etc.

Here's the Amazon link. (~$340)

I hope these suggestions help you! If you're looking for the same stuff, but centered around DDR4 ram, like that one guy suggested, just let me know!

u/CW-Bulldog · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Sure, no problem.

16gb DDR3-1600 (standard stuff, practically guaranteed to be compatible with your mobo)

16gb DDR3-1866 (slightly faster and slightly cheaper!)

​

u/fatherlongcat · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Some suggestions to trim the fat:

  • Replace the H100i with a NH-D15. It does better in cooling benchmarks, and offers quieter fans, and brings down the price $20.

  • Vengance Pro ram is kind of overpriced, you can get the same thing for $25 cheaper.

  • You can also save $100 by settling for a 240GB SSD, which should be more than enough to install your OS and games on. Heck, I have a 1TB + 240GB SSD, and I only use the SSD. The extra space you can just put on your HDD, if you do manage to overfill.

  • You can save $100 by purchasing a 980 ACX 2.0, or $60 by purchasing a 980 ACX SC. The SC is by stock clocked higher than the Windforce, if you're not planning to custom OC.
u/scy1192 · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Dual channel doesn't mean that, but it certainly implies that. Dual channel means it gets a bit of a boost in speed by being able to read/write simultaneously. You can't have dual channel without two sticks.

Looks like you'll need to remove the two 2GB sticks and replace them with two 4GB sticks.

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-PC3-12800-240-Pin-BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006WAGGUK/

You can use 666MHz or above. The memory will downclock itself to whatever your chipset can support.

edit: actually, you can get a single 8GB stick for about the same price as two 4GB sticks, so you can buff that up to 10GB by only replacing one 2GB stick with an 8GB stick (2GB + 8GB = 10GB)

u/xFrostbite13x · 3 pointsr/buildapc

it won't affect performance at all. here's an Amazon link to the same sticks, it's safer that way. (Newegg alt)

u/shrimpossible · 3 pointsr/thinkpad

Go with the T460. The screen size is much better for programming. Get the FHD IPS screen.

You can find the RAM cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC3L-12800-204-Pin-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y

Any laptop DDR3L will do. You chose the correct part, just not the best deal.

Check out this SSD (or go one size higher, partially paid for with the money you save on RAM :) ): https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-2-5-Inch-Height-SDSSDHII-240G-G25/dp/B00M8ABEIM

Any 2.5" SATA SSD will do.

Don't pay Geek Squad. You'll be paying money just for someone to unscrew a few screws and insert a card into a slot, and another into another, then rescrew the screws.

Your T460 will have two RAM slots. Buy your 8GB stick, insert it with the 4GB, and you will have 12GB. Ignore people on /r/buildapc; you're not building a PC and they've somewhat confused or misled you. In this case you will have read about dual channel RAM, but it's negligible for your cases compared to the benefits of more RAM and/or upgradeability later (so I'm saying you should prefer one 8GB stick over 4+4 to enable upgrading later more easily, which outweighs dual-channel benefits that you won't notice). Plus, with 8+4, the matching 4GB of each can be in dual channel mode anyway.

u/Michiganders · 3 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

If you're looking for something light, I would recommend looking into the Asus k501 for $870. It is very powerful with a skylake i7 processor, 8gb of ram, 512gb ssd, and a 960M graphics card. You are also able to easily upgrade the ram to 16gb by just buying an 8gb stick for $32 and adding it yourself.

It is pretty light for a 15.6 inch at 4.4 pounds though, and it has a decent battery that can last up to 5 or 6 hours of light use.

I can't really find anything under 15.6 inch that has 16gb ram, and most smaller laptops have soldered on ram so you cannot upgrade it if there is only 8gb.

This is the most popular one, YMMV on exact overclock, but Id wager that on most Zen2 CPUs and motherboards, this kit could clock 3600CL16 with better subtimings than the MFR kit, but that might depend on DDR4 overclocking skills.

The posted MFR kit is a better idea if you want a painless 3600CL16 for Ryzen without having to manually tweak.

while that person did try to help, he is a bit out of touch with ssd prices..

sata ssds haven't gone down in pricing in a meaningful way for the past year, they are still around ~110$ for 1tb and samsung likes to charge their tax on top of that too..

instead, you can get nvme ssds such as this or this for the same price..

their performance and warranty is equivalent to a samsung 970 evo, if not better.. and are miles faster than a sata ssd...


RAM: while the one you picked is 3600mhz, it's running at cl18 the memory latency will be same versus a kit running at 3200/cl16 or 3000/cl15.

get these crucial ballistix sticks instead, you can overclock them way beyond their rated speeds (Search for E-Die overclocking on the web to see approximate results) make sure they have "AES" in the model name and you're 100% guaranteed to have E-Die sticks.

CPU Cooler: while noctua is great and all , i personally think the NH-U12S is a waste of money at that price point, just use the stock cooler that comes with your ryzen cpu for a while and save those 70$ towards a noctua nh-u12a or a Noctua NH-D15 (Comes in black variant too now).


Motherboard: can't really recommend one , but instead i urge you to to look at this am4 motherboard list here they all have their own pros and cons, nothing is perfect :^)

u/MegaMadness · 3 pointsr/buildapc

With such a budget you should definitely consider getting some higher speed RAM. Higher Speed RAM is VERY important with a Ryzen CPU. I recommend having a RAM of around 3000-3200 Mhz Speed.

Take a look at this 3200 Mhz, use this RAM. This is in USD money but it translates to $254.38 AUD.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=twister_B01M33CGCY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Also you do not have to get liquid metal, but if I were you I would get the Arctic MX-4. I heard it is slightly better then the Silver 5 and you can get it for cheaper if you get a smaller tube. ($8.50 AUD)
https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-MX-4-Compound-Performance-Interface/dp/B0045JCFLY/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1524628483&sr=1-3&keywords=arctic+mx-4

I also know you said you don't want to go for a better CPU but with such a powerful GPU I am worried your 1700X might cause a bottleneck. I'd say go for the 1800X due to its higher base clock and overall slightly improved core performance. Or just go for Intel since their CPUs are much more performance based rather then budget based which is what AMD's CPUs are.

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.
u/pyrotechnicmonkey · 3 pointsr/buildapc

I just built a system with the r5 3600 and the stock cooler has been fine even with overclocking to 4.1ghz. This depends if your case has decent airflow. Maybe don't spend the money on a cpu cooler until you test out the stock cooler and determine if its worth the cost. The r5 3600 has a pretty low tdp of 65w and doesn't need crazy coolers like the old fx cpu's

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0143UM4TC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 this ram is also pretty good for the price. I would rather have corsair than team force unless you really want the rgb

u/trashcan86 · 3 pointsr/linuxmasterrace

Sorry it took so long!

Plan 1 - a new laptop and a refurbished one: If you want to get the 13 year old something nicer, go for the ThinkPad T450 (NOT T450s) directly from Lenovo's site.

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t450/

I'd configure it with i5-5200U, 8 GB RAM, 180 GB SSD (deselect the NGFF), 1080p nontouch display. I'd buy this today, 6 December, as you get significant ($300 ish) savings. It should cost $1020 or so when configured.

Then, for your 6 year old, buy this ThinkPad X201 with Core i5-520M, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD for $220:

http://arrowdirect.com/lenovo-thinkpad-x201-2-4ghz-intel-core-i5-gen1-128-ssdgb-4096gb.html

Total: $1253.70 plus tax

Plan 2 - Refurbished monsters: I like this plan a little more, but you have to do a bit of work yourself. Buy two of these ThinkPad T430s laptops with i5-3320M, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD from Arrow Direct:

http://arrowdirect.com/lenovo-t430s-2-60ghz-intel-core-i5-gen3-128-ssdgb-4096mb.html

Then, some upgrades. Buy two of these Crucial BX100 250GB SSDs from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-BX100-250GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B00RQA6TEI

(I know that the laptops come with SSDs, but they will be crusty old slow 2011 SSDs). Please don't buy the newer BX200 as they are made cheaply and they are twice as slow.

Also, buy two of these 16 GB RAM kits from here:

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-DDR3L-1600-PC3-12800-CT2K8G3S160BM-CT2C8G3S160BM/dp/B008LTBJFW/

These will take some time to put together, but they will give you two 3.9 LB monsters.

Total: $990.28 plus tax plus twenty minutes of your time

Plan 3 - The HP route: Buy two of these HP EliteBook 9480M laptops with i5-4310U, 4GB RAM, 180GB SSD from Arrow Direct:

http://arrowdirect.com/hp-compaq-elitebook-folio-9480m-2-00ghz-intel-core-i5-gen4-180-ssdgb-4096mb-5.html

Then buy the same 16GB RAM kits from Amazon. You don't need to replace the SSDs as they are from 2013-2014 and are just as fast as today's SSDs.

Total: $1002.68 plus tax plus ten minutes of your time

Of these three plans, I like Plan 2 the best as long as you have the time (and judging from the fact that you use Gentoo, you should).

I agree that the Crucial kits are identical spec wise, when I looked at them on crucial's site the only difference I saw was that that Mac version was Halogen free, so I purchased the slightly cheaper one at the time (the Mac version), and I can confirm it works without any issues in my new DS1817+

Maybe try installing 10.13.2 first, then try to install the combo update for 10.13.3?

Also, upgrade the RAM in that Mini immediately, it supports 16 GB, 4 GB on anything after about 10.7 is way to little. Source, I am running 10.13.3 with 16 GB. Here is the RAM for the 2010 Mini.

16 gb of ram is between $100 and $140 on amazon right now. I have no idea why you're arguing about this when it's an easily googleable issue. RAM prices have increased over the last few months by a shitton, and now it's a pretty pricey upgrade. When I bought my 16gb of RAM it was $75, now it's almost twice that.

u/HowDoIMathThough · 3 pointsr/buildapc

Yes, that ram (corsair dominator) is indeed very very good.

However, corsair dominator ram is really really expensive and will make almost no difference compared to cheap DDR4 like this.

u/Vytautas__ · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Hilariously, the link that you gave me is in pounds, not dollars. So it's not 950$, but 1328$. (it's more expensive)

  • 17.3" screen, big as fuck - how are you going to carry that around?

    Seriously, I tried to draw it next to my sketch for the MBP 13" size. It barely fits on the paper. I really can't think of any reason why I would want to buy such a big laptop...

  • weights almost twice
  • MBP has 2560 x 1600 res, what you linked me has 1920 x 1080. It makes a big difference on the price
  • HDD and not SSD, which also increases the MBP price

    For example, if you want to get the 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD model it's going to cost you £1,133.16 (1601$)

  • no customer support where I live, I would have to ship it if I wanted a replacement
  • bad battery life
  • bad build quality

    You linked a more expensive machine, that weighs almost double (so it makes a really crappy carryaround laptop) with far worse build quality and no customer support in my country. What makes it so good? The processor and graphics card? What if I told you I don't play games?

    It's completely fine if you prefer to use different laptops, or use them for games, but I and a lot of other people don't. If I wanted a machine for gaming, I would build a desktop. For me, laptops are meant to be lightweight and easy to carry around, have a long battery so I wouldn't have to charge it every time I use it and small enough to fit in my backpack. The MBP 13" does all of that.

    To be fair, I am not even sure I would ever suggest the device that you linked to anyone. It's expensive, really big and weighs a lot. Not to mention there's far, far better options out there if you really want a laptop for gaming.

    -----------------

    By the way, I was wondering how much the processor, RAM and the graphics card cost alone.

  • £243.50 - Intel Core i7 Quad-Core i7-6700 3.4GHz Processor CPU
  • £199.99 - Asus Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 Strix GDDR5
  • £57.28 - HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 2133 MHz DDR4

    Total ~500£ (706$). 44% of the price.

    Now, onto the MacBook Pro 13"

  • ~£140 processor
  • ~ £65 ram
  • integrated graphics

    Total £205 (290$). 26% of the price.

    Note that I didn't include the screen or the battery, which will also cost quite a bit. Look at how much the actually hardware costs and think about how much of your money goes towards reliability and build quality.

    Sure if you're talking about desktops, that might not be much of an issue (because you build and house them yourself). But for laptops - it's a really big deal. You don't really want a shitty build laptop that will fall apart, because you aren't going to replace the casing.

Which would be better, the ones you posted or 2x 8GB 2133MHz CL14?

EDIT: I know it has a faster clock speed, but it also has a greater latency, and I have read before 2 sticks are preferred to 4. How will this be reflected in a gaming pc? Would I be able to tell any difference?

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015PYZ0J6/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This was a laptop I chose for a multitude of reasons: high performance, low cost, easy to upgrade (Youtube links on this laptop specifically detailing how to upgrade compliment the manufacturers on how well-thought-out the design was), good battery life (this is on the low/middle gaming laptop spectrum, and because of this has good battery life), and overall nice looking design. For me I needed a laptop that could run the graphic intensive software that Civil Engineering students use in their upper division classes, while also being able to game on it - in college, from my experience, computer gaming is the most popular. All of the links below are upgrades that go with the laptop well. They are not needed but, they are helpful and relatively cheap. If you have any questions feel free to ask by PM.

  1. Remove the cover like you're replacing RAM in the open slot.
  2. remove the back panel that holds the fans (you don't need to unplug the fans, just lay the panel down out of the way).
  3. Unscrew the screws that hold the MOBO to the case (again, no need to actually disconnect any of the wires).
  4. Lift the bottom of the mobo up and out flipping it over. You'll see the other RAM slot there. It ships with a 2GB from Syno. This is why you're limited to 6GB (a 8GB stick won't play well with that 2GB).
  5. Replace the stock RAM, and the empty slot with 8GB sticks.

    That's it. Just make sure to use the right RAM. Users have reported issues using the wrong type. Here's what I used, and I can confirm it works (I posted pics of it working in another post): RAM
u/Fat_Ass_Reddit · 3 pointsr/mac

Depending on your budget, I would recommend to max it out and basically turn it into the server version. Replace the HD with a SSD, and max out the RAM at 16 GB:

120 GB SSD

16 GB RAM

If the RAM is too much money, you can honestly do just fine with 8 GB RAM for half the cost.

The RAM is the easiest to replace, the drive takes a little more time but their are tons of videos and resources on ifixit.com and OWC.

If you want to take it a step further, you can buy the [DIY Dual Drive Kit] (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/DIYIMM11D2/) and use the SSD as your boot drive, while still being able to use the 1TB for storage.

I've done all this myself and use my mini as a server that is on 24/7.

u/x5cp · 3 pointsr/newzealand

Most things will be cheaper if you buy from the US but some things may not be significantly cheaper to justify the extra hassle of buying from overseas.

Look at this ram for example 16GB ddr4 ram on Amazon = US$75.73 (NZ$109.47) or buy in New Zealand from pcforce and it would cost $229.00. So you save ~$119.53 (depending on currency fluctuations).

However if the item if over $400 you will have to pay GST + Import fees of $50 and it is then usually cheaper to buy in New Zealand.

u/Subzer013 · 3 pointsr/okc

GPU and CPU you can buy on amazon that’s pretty basic. I’d get some really good high speed ram because ryzen loves to use that high speed ram for some reason, it runs really well on 3200+ ram.

Is it basically a lottery that I'm gonna get a set that will reach anywhere near 3000 MHz or is there a way of knowing beforehand what version I'll receive from Amazon? If I get unlucky and get a pair that can only reach say 2133 will I be able to return it?

u/RandyRedditUser · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Yes, RAM. Lot's of RAM, well, about 8GB to be precise. 16 if you want to see a small performance increase as seen in this video. The actual requirements are 6GB which you should be fine with, and I'm sure GTA is about the same (if not maybe a bit lower?). The two most common options you could go for are DDR3 RAM and DDR4 RAM, the latter being the more expensive one due to higher clock speeds. 8GB of DDR3 costs around $60, whereas 8GB of DDR4 costs around $190.

You will also need at least an Intel Core i3-4340 or an AMD FX-6300 minimum, which is around another $160 (for the Intel one).

You haven't really given me much to go on, listing only two components of your build. Link a PCpartpicker and I can help you out! :)

I would suggest going with these rams instead https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0134EW7G8/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1517583581&sr=1-4&keywords=16gb+ram.

For $20 more you get 3000mhz ram instead of 2400.

As far as cooling goes that case comes with two fans in the front and one fan in the back. You can take off the front side for better airflow and install another fan for the top of the case.

Some FYIs: idk if cryorig cpu cooler comes with themal paste, but the 7700k does not come with any, so you might want to buy some. 2nd FYI, that case does not have a slot for a optical drive. Could spend $40 more to get a 4tb HDD if you want. Do you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse?

u/Xankar · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

It'll run so long as it's DDR4. It's really hard to go wrong with ram.

Here's the ram I suggest. It's the same that you have up in your post just the higher clocked version of 3000mhz instead of 2400mhz

u/MajorTokes · 2 pointsr/hardwareswap

I too tried to find good ram on here but it always sold so quick I could never catch it.

Just so you know, Ryzen only gets significant gains up to 2933mhz. Anything over 3000mhz you're only getting a 2-5% increase at best.

If I were you, I'd shoot for some 3000mhz CAS 15 like this Corsair ram for $145

u/Mr_Meeks · 2 pointsr/buildapc

So you are correct 3000 MHz is usually good for your money. CL ratings or CAS rating are refering to the lag for the RAM- anything 16 and under should be fine.


RAM can be faster than what the CPU officially supports because the RAM has been factory overclocked. To enable this overclocking you have to go into your BIOS and under RAM speed you select the XMP Profile listed. If you don't do this then it will automatically run at 2666 MHz which is fine but you might as well get all the speed you are paying for.


The link below shows an example kit of RAM that has good timings (C15).

Echoing what /u/DubbleYewGee mentioned - adding an SSD would be the biggest improvement. 1700 + RX 580 won't be an issue for 1080p gaming, but DDR4-2400 is a little slow. Ryzen really likes faster RAM (CAD$122).

I don't know if the stock motherboard will support an M.2 drive (like the Intel 660p), but Adata's SU800 is often on sale for ~US$100 / 1TB.

Audio Interface: Roland Quad-Capture

Headphones: Beyerdynamic DT 770

CPU: Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: NVidia GTX 1050

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 2 TB

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8 GB

Here's why I chose these components.

Audio Interface: All of Roland's products that I used were well-built, aesthetic and most of all sounding great!

Headphones: I've been using these exact headphones for about 5 years and they are very comfortable, robust and precise in sound.

CPU: The new Ryzen CPUs are in my opinion perfect for music production. They have a nice price-performance ratio and give you 6 cores and 12 threads which can beneficial when using at least 12 tracks (which I assume you will).

GPU: The NVidia GPU is capable of handling most games that are not too graphically intense. You can also pick an equivalent AMD GPU, I have always been with NVidia so that's what I chose.

HDD: The Seagate BarraCuda hard drives are cheap but they work perfectly and 2 TB should be enough to handle all the programs and sample libraries.

SSD: To be honest, I just heard great things of these SSDs. I am sure you can also pick a different brand but I wouldn't risk that with the SSD. 250 GB should be enough for your OS and DAW.

RAM: 16 GB is more than enough and the clock speed of that RAM is pretty high.

Of course you also need other stuff like a PC case, power supply, monitor etc. but I figured I would let you choose these components since they are mostly personal preference. However, I would advise against very cheap power supplies. You don't want them to blow up the whole computer.

OK. Let's say you have an FX 8350. It's possible to get a decent upgrade with a Ryzen 5 2600 @ $118.00 + an ASUS PRIME B450A/CSM @ $79.00 for less than $200.00 but DDR3 will not work with that or any newer motherboard.

You might want to up your cap by another hundred for tax and memory.

If you've got a 1080, you've got to get something to match it. I don't know where you'd shop for computer parts, but since you used a dollar sign, I'll assume you're in the US. Let's check on Amazon.

$375 for the motherboard and CPU.

$105 for the RAM.

No problem!

u/a_single_testicle · 2 pointsr/buildapc

As /u/DanPlaysVGames noted, your budget is way over your current price point. Are you looking to spend more money?

If so, you could drop in another 980 Ti, pick up a Samsung 950 Pro, or even move up to an i7.

Otherwise, the only small thing I could comment on with your current build is the 4x4 memory kit. Why not go 2x8? Example

u/Owlface · 2 pointsr/buildapc

A few things:

  • You should not be paying $200 for the Extreme 4+ even if it comes with the extra USB dongle (that's what the + denotes).

  • If you just want a cheap board that will do moderate OC + SLI something like GB Z170XP-SLI will get the job done for a lot less. Dmitri from HWC is using it in his skylake build just fine @4.6 on his 6700K.

  • If you aren't EVGA fanboy you can get MSI 980Ti for $623 off Amazon. (In stock Jan 9)

  • You can find faster ram kits for similar price / equal speed for less. Corsair LPX DDR4-3000 CL15 2x8 is one such kit, you can keep shopping around for other color scheme/brand preferences.

  • I'd ditch the 212 and replace it with something better using the savings from the above. Preference for high end air cooling unless you can get a proper WC loop going.

  • Pure personal preference (nothing wrong with S340) but I'd go with the Enthoo Pro M instead for similar price.

u/ajtallone · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you, but I had classes at school all day. Here is a build for you in all Euros.

CPU: $218

MOBO: $119

RAM: $92

SSD: $70

HDD: $40

GPU: $480

OS: $23

Case: $117

PSU: $104

CD Drive: $21

TOTAL: $1284

I realize that this is over your initial budget, but you mentioned that you could add an extra $100. Now for the explanations:

  • I did not change your CPU, but instead just found an actual link.

  • You do not need to buy thermal paste, as your CPU comes with a stock heatsink, which has thermal paste pre-applied.

  • I changed your motherboard to a compatible one, and then changed it again (when making the list in euros) for price reasons. Also keep in mind that Z series motherboards (as in Z97) are meant for overclocking. This is a method of getting better performance from your CPU. However, it requires specialized parts, like a Z series motherboard, and an unlocked CPU (shown with a K as in 6600K). These parts are more expensive. Because of that, I recommend you don’t overclock, which means you do not need the fancy, Z series motherboard. Instead I went with a H170.

  • Because I went with a different motherboard, different RAM was needed.

  • You chose a GTX 970 GPU. I switched it to a 1070. The reason for this is that it is a newer card with better performance. The 9 or 10 in the front shows which series the card is in, and the 70 shows which version of that series it belongs to, with a higher number meaning better performance. So therefore, a 1080 is better than a 1070 or 1060, and a 1070 is better than a 970 or 870.

  • You chose a Fractal Design R4 for your case. This case is the older version. I upgraded it to the R5.

  • Lets talk PSU’s. These can be very confusing. Obviously, you need to pick one that can supply enough watts to power your PC. You did that just fine. However, there are other things to consider. When it comes to PSU’s, not all watts are created equal. Two PSU’s may provide the same amount of power, however be very different in price. The cause of this comes down to the build quality of each. This affects 4 (main) things, noise, reliability, modularity, and efficiency. Hopefully the first 2 are self-explanatory. If a PSU is fully modular, that means that all of the internal cables that attach to your motherboard or GPU or hard drives or whatever can be completely removed from the PSU itself. This is very useful as it allows you to manage them much better. Efficiency means that less of the power you draw from the wall is being lost as heat. This not only reduces your electricity bill, but also means that your PSU will be cooler, creating less heat for your CPU and GPU. Efficacy is rated using the 80+ scale, which you can see here. Because of these 4 factors, I went with a higher-quality PSU.

    Hope all of this helps! If you have questions, related or not, feel free to message me!

Per i 60 fps va bene quel processore.

  • Dissipatore: è esagerato, quella roba riesce a tenere un 8700k/9700k a 4.8-5Ghz senza problemi. Se non hai intenzione di overclockare puoi usare quello stock (compreso con la CPU). Se vuoi overclockare in futuro puoi sempre comprarne uno migliore ad aria per poche decine di euro.
  • Scheda madre: difficile da scegliere (almeno per me). Qua puoi vedere una "tier list" per le mobo adatte al tuo processore. Tieni conto di queste se hai intenzione di overclockare. La mobo consigliata costa, su amazon, circa 150 euro, mentre Questa è migliore, almeno dal punto di vista dei VRM. Ma se non hai intenzione di overclockare vai per quella più bella, che ha più funzionalità (cosa che non ho controllato) senza farti problemi.
  • RAM: qualsiasi cosa da 16 gb (2x8) non meno di 3000 Mhz (i ryzen hanno performance migliori, se pur di poco, all'aumentare della frequenza delle RAM). Vanno benissimo per esempio Queste
  • SSD: spendi un po' di più e prendi un Crucial MX 500 o un Samsung 860 pro. Capienza a tuo piacere, non adrei sotto i 500gb così puoi installarci anche qualche programma e gioco che avvii spesso
  • HDD: Puoi prendere un WD blue, un Seagate, un Toshiba. Quello che preferisci.
  • Case: sono altamente ignorante. Secondo me potresti scegliere in base a: estetica, disponibilità di installazione ventole, filtri antipolvere (molto importanti), e chicche varie. Non so consigliarti nulla. NOTA: Attento al case con la lunghezza della GPU: il produttore indica la massima lunghezza accettabile della GPU, caso per caso vai a verificare che ci stia.
  • Ottimo questo EVGA, ma 750W sono overkill anche per una 2070 (wattaggio consigliato 550w). Questo EVGA da 550w dovrebbe andare bene.

    GPU


    Molti avrebbero da ridire perchè i miei consigli sono un po' eccessivi, puoi farti un'idea andando a cercare benchmark su YT in modo da avere sotto visione i numeri. Non ho la sfera di cristallo, il tuo portafoglio, o la testa dei dev, per cui non so quanto una GPU che adesso garantisce 60fps in 1440p sia valida anche tra 2-3 anni (cosa da tenere in conto dato l'investimento imho).

  1. 1080p 60fps: per me dovresti andare di 1660ti o rtx2060 al MASSIMO. Conta che la con la 2060 puoi puntare anche ai 144fps in 1080p (ma non ad ultra in certi titoli). Se vuoi risparmiare vai di 1660ti senzxa problemi. Qua puoi vedere come la 1660ti si comporta in 1080p e in 1440p. Secondo me la 1660ti è la scelta giusta.
  2. 1080p 144fps: rtx 2060. Butti giù qualche filtro inutile e li avrai senza problemi. Nei titoli da te citati senza nessuno sforzo.
  3. 1440p 60fps: RTX 2060 [Video performance in 1080p e 1440p]. Come puoi vedere, ad ultra, in 1080p siamo sempre sopra i 60fps, e in 1440p siamo sui 60 fps. Conta che puoi sempre abbassare filtri, ombre etc e guadagnare FPS. Ma giocare TW3 a Ultra è un piacere per gli occhi e non avrai sicuramente bisogno di 120 fps. Vuoi fare lo sborone? RTX 2070 e non avrai sicuramente problemi in un paio d'anni. Io andrei di 2060, ciò che risparmi lo usi tra x anni per comprarti un'altra GPU.
  4. 1440p 144fps: RTX 2070, una 2080 è troppo secondo me (e costa un sacco)
  5. Si, ma che marca? Gigabyte, MSI, Asus, Zotac? Qualche versione è più spinta di altre, ma si sta parlando di differenze di 1,2 fps (ossia nulla) Per esempio guarda qua con una rtx 2060. Valuta in base ad estetica, rumorosità e prezzo.

    Che monitor usare? Bella domanda. Non sono un esperto, te ne linko qualcuno, quelli più noti ed usati in pratica, ma non sono davvero la persona più adatta. Magari ti sa aiutare r/Monitors

  • 1080p: AOC 75hz, 27 pollici AOC 144hz 27 pollici Asus 1080p 60hz, 27 pollici, Asus 1080p 144hz
  • 1440p: Asus 1440p 75hz 27 pollici, AOC 1440p 144hz.

    Insomma, la scelta è varia e dipende da quanto vuoi spendere. Ho cercato di fare una panoramica rapida e chiara (spero).

    Se mi permetti io farei così:

  • Non me ne frega un cazzo di FPS, di fare il pro e di avere 750 fps su counter strike per avere 0.12 decimi di secondi di vantaggio rispetto al nemico. 1440p a 60fps. Puoi goderti un fps, ma hai la bellezza dei 1440p in titoli come The Witcher. Asus 75hz (240 euro) e RTX 2060 (circa 400 euro). Fatto. Per me è la scelta migliore ( e io gioco praticamente solo fps). Questa configurazione secondo me è ottima. Spesa 1400 euro compresa di monitor per 2k a 60 fps.
  • Voglio avere più fluidità e non mi importa di avere tutto ad ultra. RTX 2060 (quindi anche qui circa 400 euro) e AOC 144hz (300 euro). Meh. Spendi come sopra ma giochi in 1080p e non te ne fai nulla in Dark Souls o The Witcher.

    Spero di essere stato d'aiuto,che i link siano quelli giusti e di non averti confuso. Aggiornami se ho scritto cazzate, o se decidi di cambiare qualcosa!

u/AK-Brian · 2 pointsr/Amd

Single channel memory will hold you back, but the difference in practical use is less than some people would think. It's on the order of 10% or so except for certain games and software. Examples of outliers include Hitman 2 or Counterstrike: GO, 7-Zip compression software, etc. Those can see increases of +30-50% vs a single channel setup. An example of a less sensitive program is Cinebench, where you may see only a 1-5% difference.

That said, memory kits are pretty reasonably priced right now and you could jump to a 2x8GB DDR4-3000 kit for $66 if you're in the US. With the frequency increase and moving to dual channel mode, you'll see around a 15% difference on average in games and applications - noticeable.

u/Pl8daddy · 2 pointsr/buildapc

The motherboard manufacturers have that memory "compatibility" chart on there because that is the highest memory that 1st gen ryzen supported, it largely doesn't matter what number is there and that's up to your processor's memory controller as to how high you can clock.

> would this be the best bang for my buck upgrade i can possibly do?

No, the best bang for the buck would easily be Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 3000 Cl15, because they overclock very nicely, almost as good as b-die, for much less. Link here

The corsair kit you mentioned wouldn't overclock as well at all, so I don't consider it "bang for the buck" because you're paying for considerably more performance with the kit I mentioned. These sticks routinely hit over 4000mhz, and will easily hit the 3433-3600 your ryzen 2600 is maximally capable of. For gaming though, timings are the most important imo.

u/n3roo · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I would go for Ballistix 3000 CL15 ram which has micron e-die for around same price . Load xmp profile, then bump up to 3200mhz for easy overclock.

u/PoliteBrit225 · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme

Looks pretty good.

Better RAM on offer here; https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MGPH9R9/ it's E-die too which is highly overclockable (3800mhz easy) and cheaper than yours listed.

u/Wargoul · 2 pointsr/bapcsalescanada

Asked a similar question yesterday, but this time a little more specific and since the Reddit search feature is junk, I thought I would ask. I have a 3600x and a B450 Tomahawk MAX. Does anyone have any experience with the Crucial Ballistix kits that get linked in here often? Mainly this 3000MHz CL15 or the 3200MHz CL16? I don't mind tinkering if I can get these up to 3600CL16. Just wondering if one has the advantage over the other, disregarding price difference. I figure worst case I end up with 3200CL16 out of the box if I go with the second. Thanks.

u/KING_of_Trainers69 · 2 pointsr/buildapcsalesuk

Not really a fan of Vengeance LPX, but the price is hard to argue with. I'd probably pay £3.40 for Ballistix LT over this though.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MGPH9R9/

u/NeedleInsideMyWeiner · 2 pointsr/buildapcsalesuk

Samsung b-die ram is the very best.

But Micron rev e-die is a very close behind in second place. And due to ryzen 3000 not worth going above 3800 mhz due to the FLCK, then micron rev e-die is more than enough.


When purchasing it, make sure it has "AES" in the name, like on this one : https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07MGPH9R9/

-

BLS2K8G4D30AESBK - It means it's guaranteed to be micron rev e die.

It's on the 3000 mhz cl15 and 3200 mhz cl16 - can very easily be overclocked. 3600 cl14 and 3800 mhz cl16 can be done relatively easy.

u/IceAcolyte · 2 pointsr/buildapc

What's the usage? Is this a budget build? How much RAM you need? is your case ATX or mATX?

For CPU, only 3600 will fit your budget out of the decent ones. Any lower and you'd be stepping into APU territory for low-budget builds.

Example combo: [3600] (https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-3600-12-Thread-Processor/dp/B07STGGQ18) ($195) + 16 GB RAM ($78) + B450 Tomahawk ($115) = $388.

That should work with the budget. I have mortar max instead of tomahawk max, which aren't much different but in size. I expect it to work pretty well for next 5 years.

Someone more knowledgeable than I am can correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought dual rank (or dual channel) RAM was better for Ryzen systems.

u/_flatline__ · 2 pointsr/buildapc

No problem.

One thing I just noticed though, check out the supported memory speeds for the MB you picked. 3600 isn't listed. The closest would be DDR4-3466. So if you buy the 3600 you might be paying for speeds you won't get out of the box.

Overclocking is actually pretty straight forward in the BIOS. You would want to enable XMP to get the memory running at the advertised speed anyway, but you can always play with timings and voltage manually. Just Google the memory kit you get along with the MB type and I'm sure you'd find examples. If the system doesn't like what you set it won't boot and then you'd just have to go back into the BIOS and make changes.

FWIW, here's the kit I'm planning on putting in my new build within the next few months.

I would say to send it back and order a model with 8GB of RAM. At the same time order yourself a 64 GB kit (or a single 32GB module) and install it. It will be much cheaper. I would go for dual channel myself.

Right now at Lenovo website to upgrade the RAM to 32 GB it costs 455$ more and a whooping 1061$ more for 64GB of RAM. While a single Samsung 32GB memory module costs only 140$ with a quick search: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-2666MHz-Memory-Computers-M471A4G43MB1/dp/B07N124XDS/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_147_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=S5ZK1TZ06ZE7AJFD67XR

If you upgrade the RAM and SSD yourself it will probable be cheaper. Buy it with 8GB RAM then buy 2x32GB. I found this on Amazon I don't know anything about that particular seller but that's the RAM you'd need, as far as I know only Samsung currently makes 32GB SO-DIMMs. For the SSD there are lots of options for a 1TB drive, you'd have to install the drive the install Windows etc.

It really is, ever since AMD released Ryzen 1000 series, Intel's been feeling the heat. Well priced products that perform great is always good for competition.

As far as cases, I've been eyeballing this one because it has good cooling, with an acceptable price. Only real drawback is that it doesn't have a slot for an optical disk drive. Coolermaster has one with an ODD, but it isn't sold in the USA.

You may be able to re-use your case, unless it's from a prebuilt computer (particularly Dell / Alienware) your new board should fit in it just fine.

I was going to recommend This mATX case, but decided against it because I don't think your video card will fit. If you've got a stubby / short 1060 it might work, but I wouldn't bet on it.

This case is the cheapest case I can find that I'm confident will fit everything you have. $40ish.

8 GB RAM is what you need if you're gaming. 4 GB will bottleneck. If you get a 2X4 GB combo now, you can upgrade to 16 GB later with an additional 2X4 GB kit. In the meantime, look up how to take advantage of "Dual Channel RAM" on your motherboard. Also, make sure you get 3000mhz RAM, the speed makes a considerable difference on AMD CPUs.

2X4GB (8 GB total): [link] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WXmiDbH8KM7MB). You can select 2X8GB (16 total) if you want, but you don't need it for most games now, and if you prefer older games anyhow, it's a waste of your budget.

If you're going to splurge on anything in your new build, I highly recommend it being your PSU, especially since your old PSU likely killed your motherboard. A modular PSU will look much more tidy, since you can unplug cables that you don't need. I personally trust Corsair's RM series, though the lowest wattage (cheapest) one is still $130: Link.

If that's too much, or if your case doesn't have a Window and aesthetics don't matter, and old 500 watt PSU will do fine. 600 watts if you want some breathing room. Keep a look out for anything with a 3-5 year warranty from the manufacturer (look on their website for this info, don't trust Amazon); those are typically built better and are less likely to fail.

This is the cheapest PSU that I'd personally recommend. 500 Watts is fine for what you have, I think 450 watts is pushing on the "too low" side though.

Edit: All my links are ugly, give me a few minutes to tidy up.

Edit of edit: links tidied up. Also, 450 watts, not $450. (Near the end.)

8GB Dual channel, 3000mhz.

If you are definitely definitely going to upgrade to 16GB, then that's fine to get a single 8GB stick. That being said, the difference between single channel and dual channel would make up the performance difference between the 1300x and the 1600 in gaming. The $10 or $20 extra you spend extra to get dual channel will make an absolutely massive difference.

First off, thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

I'm not looking to getting into VR right now (far too expensive for me at the moment), maybe in a couple of years, but I'm not concerned about stellar VR support. I'm only really worried about being able to play games that have recently been released (Overwatch, Fortnite, PUBG, CIV 6, etc), or that will be released over the next 5 or so years (mostly AAA games), at 1080P (medium/high res) 50FPS+.

I have ordered this GPU: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B01L9VB642/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

(I haven't looked at MB/Case/PSU/RAM/External Fans)

My choice for CPU seems to fall between the I5 8400 or 8600K (future proofing, I guess?). And, would you be able explain the basic differences between K-series and non-K?

Is this RAM a solid choice? https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-2400MHz-Memory-Black/dp/B01ARHBBPS/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1519793552&sr=1-4&keywords=Corsair+ddr4

The total is around 700. You may need to add some more things put this is enough for full functionallity. Also, I wouldnt buy the parts on amazon, but this way you can search them in a good electronics shop from your country which adds the assembly. Standards can be changed easily, that depends on what you preffer.

u/RitzRitter · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm going to parrot the SSD advice. Better to get it now, even if it is a small one, for your OS to boot on.

It's not necessary, but Ryzen does recieve a performance boost from fast memory. I can't speak to the gains that you will receive from 3200mhz memory, but upgrading might be someone you want to consider. I have white Corsair Vengeance sticks @ 3200. These

u/Jean-Valjean · 2 pointsr/buildapc

You do not need a fulltower case IMO, it is way overkill and takes up too much space.

Something midtower like this:

https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8850694858626857081?lsf=seller:6136318,store:18011995565160192565&prds=oid:7992287768184037503&q=nzxt+s340&hl=en&ei=UMBCWZ_5IYfMjwOk36qoCg&lsft=gclid:CNqP59mswNQCFRKUfgodp9kJ1w

Would take $90 off.

Don't listen to the person saying i5 over i7. I5 is dead so if you can't afford the I7 then go for a ryzen build instead but I would personally stay with the 7700k.

For the GPU look at eBay at buying one second hand. With EVGA the warranty is transferable so buying second hand is very very safe (since it is still within the three year warranty).

You can see the GTX 1080 FTW (and also even the freaking FTW hybrid edition which is a beast). Has sold on ebay (by looking at recently completed listings) in the last three weeks for ~460. Doing that can give you the same (or better if he gets a hybrid) card with the same warranty and EVGA protection for 80$ (plus tax if amazon taxes you) less.

Doing those two things puts you down to $1260.

You can buy the CPU brand new here for $310 to bring it down to $1240

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Intel-i7-7700K-Kaby-Lake-Quad-Core-4-2GHz-Processor-BX80677I77700K-/272635222784?hash=item3f7a535b00:g:dsYAAOSw53NY9WmO

For the cooler, a single radiator AIO is not worth it for a CPU. So you need to either go cheaper for an aircooler (which would be comparable but wouldn't be good for overclocking) with the cryorig H7 for 35$ (bringing your total down to 1210) or go more expensive with the Noctua NHD-15 or corsair H100i for 80 (brining your total up to 1275).

Personally, I would upgrade the ram to something 3200mhz - you don't want to be locked down by slow ram with that killer CPU/GPU. For $20 more you can get this (also matches the case!):

https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1497547277&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=ddr4+dram+3200mhz

I would also trade the 3TB drive for a 120GB SSD for 50:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PNY-CS1311-120GB-Internal-SATA-Solid-State-Drive-/322271147966?hash=item4b08db77be:g:JbIAAOSwmfhX5aT1

With a 1TB HDD for 45:

https://www.amazon.com/Seagate-BarraCuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000DM010/dp/B01LNJBA2I

About the same price but much higher performance.

Doing this all would put you between 1250-1300 and would be much higher performing in my opinion.

This would murder anything @ 1080P 60FPS (probably even 1080P 144FPS) and be future proof for a while.

xfr2 and precision boost is AMD's boost (auto-overclock) technology for their 2600X and 2700X. You can leave it alone and it will do its own job.

Samsung B-die is considered the best memory kit you can get for both AMD and Intel cpus. All cpus love fast ram (especially Ryzen), so might as well spend the extra $50 if you're allocating $2000 for the rest of your build. A fellow redditor created that nifty tool to help identify b-die ram kits.

You can overclock ram in the future, b-die is already fast enough. That DRAM calculator tool helps you save time when you choose to overclock ram

Processor - AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core

GPU - AMD HD7770 2GB

Mobo - Asus M5A97

PSU - Corsair CX750

RAM - Corsair 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Vengeance Memory Kit

HDD - Get a local one for cheap (barely matters unless you want a SSD)

Blu-ray - That shit isn't cheap and i didn't plan on including it in my stupid estimate which i made. I don't even use a DVD writer for myself and i haven't ever felt the need for one.

Audio - Since you said you wanted excellent Audio quality, you should look up on the Asus XONAR cards and pick one according to your needs. If you just want good audio quality for some personal music and movies, you can pick up the basic Xonar cards. They all have excellent audio.

Cabinet - Can't say what you need there. Pick anything with a decent airflow and you are good to go. Else, you can do what i do and pick a cheap one while just keeping it open for the airflow. Unless you are for aesthetics, you can save a good amount of fortune here.

u/llooggaann · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

If you're looking for new RAM, I'd just take the old stick out and replace it.

Well, 16GB isn't necessary, but it gives you a lot of headroom for the future. Also, you could make a large RAMDisk drive for faster loading times of some of your files.

If you only want 8GB, which is still more than enough even if you're a heavy gamer.

I'd recommend the Corsair Vengeance series either way, with a 2x4GB if you only want 8GB, or a 2x8GB if you're looking for more headroom.

Ignore where it mentions Intel, it works just fine with AMD too. As for the $50 difference, it may or may not be worth it to you.

There are also different colours to match your system design.

Granted, it is quite expensive RAM (but worth it), so if you're looking for something cheaper, just let me know.

u/-Syntraxx- · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

My pc is 3 years old now (i7 4770k , GTX770 4GB VRAM and 8GB ram). My RAM memory gets full while playing rust and recently also while playing titanfall. I have to put texture quality down as for some reason it fills my ram as well, VRAM never was a problem as I got a special 4gb edition. At the moment I got 8GB (2x4GB), amazon link here. It's only dd3 and 1600mhz so I wanted to know, should I buy another set of these? Or should i buy DDR4 RAM, if yes, which ones? I have a Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 motherboard. If I'm correct, it doesn't even support DDR4 and I just realised I can't add another 2 ram-sticks.

Should I buy 2x8gb DDR3 RAM then? And is there any chance to sell my old RAM memory? If yes, at what price?

edit: I just realised I can even add 2 more ram sticks, so I suppose I would have to buy new 2x8gb? And is there any chance of selling my old ram memory?

u/ihavegingerpubichair · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Cool, the 7850 would easily max out skyrim. as for BF3 you could go on high / ultra settings, 60 fps no problem.
For the CPU, if you could stretch to the FX6300, that would be quite a bit better, it's about $20 more than the 4100.
To get back to the budget of $700 (we are currently $20 over), you could get a 500W PSU, it would easily handle those components, and would be a bit cheaper. Maybe get some different RAM as well, The Kit you have chosen seems pretty pricey for 8GB.

Also are you planning to OC? if not, then you dont really need an aftermarket cooler, sure it will get loud, but you can always get one later if that really bothers you. and applying one will void your warranty.

Secondly, do you really need a case thats £70? something like this would do just as well and is half the price, I think its compatible (please correct me if im wrong someone).;

Memory is pretty cheap, especially considering the performance gains. If you're having memory issues, upgrade... Aim for 16 GB and you'll never need to think of memory usage again (unless you're doing video rendering, etc.); you shouldn't have to think about this stuff.

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

u/nerdydodger · 2 pointsr/buildapc

First: Get RAM to 16 gigs. It'll help with overall speed, switching between applications, multi tasking, etc. I would get 2 more sticks of 4gig of the same model that you have, if you can find it. If not, get a 2x8gig kit. You could be cheeky and have a 24gig set up. This should be an $80 upgrade.

I will note, with some kits, it's actually cheaper to order 2 separate 4gig kits (each at ~$30), rather than a single purchase of a 2x4gig (~$80). Just to keep in mind.

​

​

Upgrade graphics card to 1060 (6g) or 20xx or radeon equivalent, best that budget allows. This will give the biggest kick to game performance. This will be a $200 upgrade.

That CPU is a lovely piece of hardware, and the only reason why I 'upgraded' from it to a 7600k was so my friend could have my old computer. He's rocking a similar set up, with 16gigs and a 1070, runs everything high settings at 1080p60fps.

u/Zmodem · 2 pointsr/hardwareswap

$40 is probably a more reasonable price, actually. Here they are on Amazon. They are roughly $6 cheaper than the DDR4. You've also got to remember that DDR3 is no longer the latest and greatest, and that these carry NO WARRANTY, so there is inherent risk when purchasing these secondhand.

Either way, good luck with your sale!

u/ImCodeGreen · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

These are good sticks for a low price... you can just replace the ones in your system with these.

As for your CPU, here are some benchmarks to prove that it's still good:

  • Witcher 3 - 1, 2
  • MGS V - 1, 2 (1440p)

    Some of those gameplays might have overclocked CPU and/or GPU but it should not make that big of a difference.

64 bucks for 2x4 GB. Bought it for my mom.

Edit: out of stock at that price now.

u/callmecavs · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Seems like you're missing some RAM - your computer wont work without it. Get the cheapest 2x4gb (8gb total) that you can find. 1600 mt/s is good enough for gaming, and anything over 8gb is overkill for games. I'd recommend Crucial Ballistix 2x4gb kit - Amazon link. It'll run you about $60.

I'd recommend a better video card - 1gb isn't quite enough for some of the higher end games out there these days. Check out this msi radeon 7870 on newegg - you'll get 2 free games (you can pick which 2) with it as well because of AMD's new never settle promotion (see game titles here). This card is only about $50 more than your current one, and it'll give you twice as much video ram (2gb).

Those 2 changes will put you in the $750 range. If you wanna spend closer to $800, I'd recommend a processor upgrade. Check out the AMD 8320 - Amazon link. For another $25 bucks you'll get an 8 core processor, instead of 6 (same mobo will work as well). It's a smaller priced upgrade than an SSD. You'll notice the performance increase when doing heavy multitasking, which at college is likely to happen (office docs open, gaming, browsers open, etc)

u/conquer69 · 2 pointsr/GlobalOffensive

I have been building gaming PCs for a few years and this is what I would change.


I would change the fx6300 + hyper 212 for an fx8320. The 8320 is better for gaming and you can survive a few weeks without overclocking it. It has better performance at stock speeds than the fx6300 does when overclocked.


You can find cheaper ram that performs the same or even better. Like this http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-PC3-12800-240-Pin-BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00/dp/B006WAGGUK/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1381353096&sr=8-11&keywords=8gb+ddr3


Not sure if you really need 2tb but I guess you do. If you don't switch back to 1TB and get another hard drive when you need it.

You NEED a better power supply. A 8320 when overclocked can reach 300w, the gtx 660 uses at least 120w. That's 420W for a 430w PSU. Too close in my opinion.

I would suggest this as least http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGHKK7M/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2QJQRG0AYGTMR&coliid=I3ETXWNC8Y71SR

If possible, get this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0092ML0OC/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2QJQRG0AYGTMR&coliid=I1NJMU7VF08WV9


Now, about the "other" stuff. I have a sidewinder keyboard and it's ok but you want to get a mechanical keyboard. I only bought mine because it was really cheap. I got it for like $15.

Getting the mechanical keyboard right now would go over your budget so get a cheap one and get this later http://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-6Gv2-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard/dp/B008OQTGBQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1381353853&sr=8-2&keywords=steelseries+keyboard



About the mice. As far as I know, only the g400, razer deathadder and the zowie evo2 and FK have no acceleration sensors. I would get any of those.

g400 for palm grip, razer deathadder black edition for palm grip, deathadder 2013 edition for semi-palm / semi-claw grip, Zowie mouses for claw grip.


About the headset, people that know about headphones recommend headphones instead of headsets for gaming. Headsets have overall lower sound quality and it doesn't give you any advantage at all to your performance in gaming.


I would get this headphones with a PCIe asus xonar dg soundcard. You can get the soundcard later if you want, so you can feel the difference better. http://www.amazon.com/JVC-HARX700-Precision-Sound-Headphones/dp/B0013OWPV4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381354267&sr=8-1&keywords=rx700



I think that's it. If you have any doubt, let me know.


Edit: forgot about the case. That rosewill case is fine but it only has 1 frontal intake, no bottom intakes and no 3.0 usb ports. I like this nzxt case a lot because it is very cheap and has everything you could need from a mid tower case. If you can afford the extra $20, get it. http://www.amazon.com/Technologies-Tempest-Steel-Tower-Airflow/dp/B005MMW4DM/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1381354467&sr=8-30&keywords=nzxt+case

Okay brother, here's the dealio. First a disclaimer. If you have $50 in the bank, and have to have this laptop for school or work, don't even risk it. I was successful, and I'm happy I did it now that it is all back together. But it was scary. There were several instances where I was really worried about breaking something irreparably. If you've got enough money to buy something else, and just have the itch to upgrade this machine and the confidence to do so, here are the parts I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-204-Pin-Notebook-CT102464BF160B/dp/B006YG8X9Y?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

http://www.amazon.com/Protronix-Optical-Drive-Caddy-Universal/dp/B004XIUQYA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

What I ended up doing is putting the SSD where the HDD is now, and putting the HDD in the caddy. The bezel from the original drive can be removed and placed on the caddy. Just dig your fingernails underneath the top of the bezel and pull outward and downward. I was worried about it breaking, but it'll come off.

Also, the RAM was a pain in the butt until I realized how to install it. To remove the 4gb stick, I pulled the little clips <-- outward --> with my middle fingers, and pulled the ram forward with my pointer finger.

To install the 8gb chip, just insert it down into the slot, then push backwards towards the motherboard. It will just click into place. Took me about 15 minutes to figure out.

When you go to reinstall the ribbon cables for the keyboard and trackpad, there are little black plastic clips that clip down onto the cable and hold it into place. The bigger cable is fairly easy to get back in. The smaller cable was harder for me. I recommend holding the keyboard up like a book (left side on the table, right side in the air) instead of like a calendar (back side on the table, front side in the air). You'll see what I mean when you get there.

Other than that, just pay a lot of attention to the video. He does a good job explaining the actually dis-assembly process.

https://youtu.be/ByyYIzs6Cs8

And seriously guys, if you've never done this before (like me) and breaking this laptop is going to make you cry, don't even try it. It's a great laptop for the money. You don't always have to have more, more, more.

Sure, you already have 8GB ram in the laptop I assume you are looking to get another 8GB stick ? if so then this one would work

u/kazoodac · 2 pointsr/Twitch

Alright! So There's good news and bad news. The good news is you can absolutely upgrade your computer in a variety of ways. You can even give yourself a dedicated graphics card! The bad news though, is that doing so probably won't be cheap. It might be better to buy a new laptop, or start putting together a desktop rig for yourself. I'll let you be the judge though! Here we go!

RAM: Upgrade from 4GB to 8GB

This would definitely speed up your computer. *GB is the minimum I recommend to anyone, regardless of what they are using the computer for. 4GB of RAM is the minimum necessary for a modern operating system to function, so doubling to 8GB will give you some very noticeable improvement.
I generally stick with Crucial.com RAM for upgrades. They're affordable, have good customer service, and have never steered me wrong before. You have two choices for an 8GB upgrade from them. A standard 8GB module and a Ballistix 8GB module. The latter is supposed to be higher quality, but I'm not really familiar with the differences, nor do I think it's worth the extra money. I'd go with the standard.

Hard Drive: Upgrade to Solid State or Fusion Drive

Upgrading the hard drive won't improve gaming performance, but it will make everything you do on your system faster overall. Not 100% sure, but I think your computer has a 500GB drive in there right now. decent space, but bare bones performance. Upgrading to a Fusion Drive or SSD will give you a huge performance jump. SSDs are the fastest drives out there, but assuming you don't want to decrease your disk space, your going to have to pay the premium. SSHDs aka Fusion Drives offer the best of both worlds; they add flash storage to a standard drive, and optimize performance by putting the system files and most frequently used files and programs on the flash section. Huge performance boost for a MUCH lower price than an SSD. I love these things, and definitely recommend one if budget is an issue. To upgrade your drive, you'll need to either have a backup you can restore to the new drive, or clone your existing hard drive to the new drive beforehand. My recommended method of doing this is by buying a hard drive enclosure. It's super affordable, and will let you repurpose your old hard drive as an external drive or backup drive when you're done.

CPU, Motherboard, and GPU:

Ok, here's where everything gets complex. The RAM and Hard Drive are easy upgrades, but while they will definitely speed things up, they won't help with gaming performance as much as this will. Your processor is trying to handle running the computer and running the games at the same time, and since it's not a great processor, it can't do that very well. Upgrading the processor allows your computer to do a lot more at once, and adding a GPU essentially gives games their own dedicated processor to work with. You'll see huge gaming performance boosts by going this route. Here's the trouble though: Your CPU is integrated in the motherboard. The only way to upgrade it is by swapping in a new motherboard with a better integrated processor. The silver lining here is that your computer model line had several motherboard options, both with more powerful CPUs as well as dedicated integrated GPUs. This means that by buying a new motherboard, you could upgrade your CPU, add a GPU, or both!
Here's the problem though. These motherboards are hard to find, expensive, or both. Parts-People.com has the listings and Dell Part numbers for several upgrades to your system, both with and without NVidia GPUs.

No GPU:
i5-4210U 1.7GHz - 6YPRH |
i5-5200U 2.2GHz - THVGR |
i7-4510U 2.0GHz - 7G1CD

With GPU:
i5-4210U 1.7GHz - 1P4HG |
i5-5200U 2.2GHz - T7TC4 |
i7-4510U 2.0GHz - CHXGJ

As you can see...pricey AND sold out. But at least this gives you a references. You may also notice that the ones with NVidia GPUs actually say they are only compatible with models that already had a discrete GPU...that's not actually true. I double checked with one of their technicians; all you'd need would be a replacement fan/heatsink. The one in your system only covers the CPU. The new one would cover both the CPU and the GPU. Fortunately, this part is inexpensive, both on the Parts-People site and on eBay.
Speaking of eBay, I think it's the best option for finding one of these motherboards. I did find the best version of the bunch for sale, but they're still quite pricey. There is another option though. By watching eBay for used Dell Inspiron models that have the motherboard you need, you might be able to find and win an auction for a whole computer at a far lower price point than the motherboard alone. As it turns outYou'd need to look for keywords like processor speed, and hope that if you tactfully asked if it said "nvidia" somewhere, the seller would understand what to look for. It gets risky, but you might even find auctions for damaged versions being sold for parts. Idiot cracked his screen? Motherboard's probably ok! Idiot spilled beer all over the computer...avoid that one. You wouldn't be restricted to Inspiron 15 (3542) either. As it turns out, these boards were used in Inspiron 14 (3442) and Inspiron 17 (5748) models as well. Definitely helpful if you go that route. Hell, with nothing wrong with it and at the right price point, you might find a whole new computer this way!

Speaking of a new computer...we come to my final point. Cost and worth. If you were to buy the RAM, Fusion Drive, external enclosure, i7 + GPU Motherboard, and Fan/Heatsink right now, you'd be looking at something like $350. Not terrible in the grand scheme of things, especially considering the fact that you could buy them at separate times, upgrading in stages as budget allows. However, the Wirecutter's pick for a budget laptop is $550 on Amazon, and would match or exceed the performance of everything above with no hassle or downtime. Just something to consider!

Phew! That was a lot. Hopefully it's helpful information, and gives you an idea of your options. Let me know if you have any questions!

> what is happening here? Brand name gives them a boosted value? Is the quality difference noticeable?

There is no difference. The SSD Dell offers is probably even worse. OEMs just think that SSDs are a premium feature and therefore overcharge for it. Just buy the 850 Evo on Amazon (or at Micro Center, Best Buy) and you're good to go. Same goes for the RAM.

Depending on what you want to spend 60/76$ You can get an SSHD 1tb or 500gb, if you don't know SSHD has the cheapness/storage power of a HDD with the performance benefits of an SSD, it's basically the bridge between 7200rpm and SSD

http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Laptop-2-5-Inch-Internal-ST1000LM014/dp/B00B99JUBQ/ref=zg_bs_1254762011_7

Another addition is upgrading the 4GB of memory, this will enable better multi tasking and a bit snappier performance.

Combined total with the 1tb is $459 for a pretty decent system, it will require you to go through the effort of putting new parts in, but the end result should be great. I will say that you should look for a Youtube video of the hard drive replacement, as it seems memory is easy to install, but the HDD may require a few extra steps.

I will say, plugging 2+ monitors into a laptop with just one HDMI port is going to be a pain. You can do one screen via HDMI, sure, but you'd need to use shitty USB adapters for the rest, and there's no way to make those not suck graphically. Were I you, I'd opt for the T450s, which you can get for $762 when you create a free Barnes&Noble Gold discount for "students and teachers" through Lenovo here. Then I'd add my own 8GB SO-DIMM for $35 (bringing total RAM to 12GB), and my own 250GB SSD for $80, and have one killer business laptop that's super durable, has a superb keyboard and trackpad, for just shy of your $900 price tag (not including tax). However, this assume you're OK with reinstalling your own OS and installing the RAM/SSD yourself, which is super easy, but I don't know how technical you are. This way you get a VGA port and mini-DisplayPort, which itself can run 2 extra monitors with an adapter like this, or plug it into a docking station.

u/emdc · 2 pointsr/AlienwareAlpha

You'll want to look for DDR3L ram like this: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC3L-12800-SODIMM-204-Pin/dp/B006YG8X9Y

And you can mix and match ram, so just stick this in with the 4gh and you'll have 12gb. I had 4+8gb total in my i3 R1 and never and any problems.

u/jshawnbell · 2 pointsr/computers

Sorry to tell you it looks like that model laptop only has 1 memory slot and the largest module it supports is 8GB. You would have to replace your existing 4GB module with the 8GB module, so the laptop maxes out at 8GB RAM.

u/CyberJeeves · 2 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

The MSI GP/GE/GT lines generally have pretty questionable quality, and the GP you linked has a rather weak GT 840M. The Asus G750JM is a well built machine, but it's quite unwieldy at 10 pounds. Instead, at 6 pounds, there's the ASUS N550JK-DS71T, which has:

  • i7 4700HQ quad core CPU
  • 8GB ram (you can upgrade to 16GB)
  • 1TB HDD storage 5400RPM
  • 1920x1080 15.6” IPS glossy touchscreen (excellent image quality/viewing angles)
  • GTX 850M GPU w/ 2GB DDR3 memory (Maxwell core)
  • 5 hours of battery / 6 pounds heavy / 1.1” thick
  • Windows 8.1

    This would be a good all-around choice. You could add another stick of ram for your video editing requirements. Bear in mind that any GeForce card won't be as good for rendering as a Quadro card, but you really won't be able to play games on a Quadro card. The GeForce will help with video playback.

I run it on one of these QOTOM-Q190G4-S01 mini pc J1900 Quad core 4 LAN with Crucial 8GB DDR3L SODIMM and Transcend 64GB mSATA Drive. I used to use a Soekris net6501-70 but they have a bad reputation of dying suddenly (and no mfg. support) so I took it out as primary and have it as a backup just in case.

u/Sour_Pickel · 2 pointsr/PFSENSE

I just recently switch to a quad core model on amazon total cost was $315. It was a barebones system and you had to get the ram and hdd for it. Works fine, my speeds have never been stable but I can atleast spike to 925MB/s (it averages 750 depending on where I test it). I feel my limitation is the provider not the hardware as others have stated it is fine for gigabit.

The extra £100 has gone into getting an i5. This will perform better in intensive CPU tasks but in gaming there will only be a few fps difference. I can't really recommend it over the £350 build because you already have your laptop for work.

All in all I have to recommend the £350 build and saving some money for an SSD

I am in the minority, but the E460 is a great budget laptop. The E440 was cheap, but the E450 and E460 have been very solid improvements. It is 3 screws to take the bottom cover off and 0 more to replace the ram and hard drive. The hard drive just pops in.

For $805 I specced out this http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/e-series/e460/

u/macpaint · 2 pointsr/mac

That type of RAM is for standard desktop computers. The iMac uses laptop sized RAM. For a mid 2015 5K iMac you need something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-Unbuffered-SODIMM-204-Pin/dp/B007B5S52C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I usually buy from OWC, but in the end as long as you match the specs Apple calls for it shouldn’t matter. (SO-DIMM, PC3-12800, unbuffered, nonparity, 204-pin, 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM) As for mix and matching the RAM, from most of the things I’ve read it’s better to make sure you have matching pairs of RAM sticks. So if you already have two 4GB sticks in there, then it will be fine to put in two 8GB sticks. (Or two more 4GBs, etc) Do a little googling on how to install the RAM for your specific model to make sure you get everything right!

I got these. Pain to get them in as you have to take the 451+ apart and slip the sticks between the board and the metal chassis. Took about 15 minutes and it's now a lot faster and I run the Windows VM with 8gb of ram which makes it run just as fast as my old server.

It's just DDR3L laptop memory, like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B5S52C. It is commonly used on embedded boards like QNAP or mini ITX stuff.

u/brownox · 2 pointsr/synology

I would recommend this RAM.

The 1815+ can recognize the full amount and it can be useful in multiple transcoded streams.

I would get a router that supports the link agreggation capabilties of the 1815+

Don't forget an uninteruptable power supply.

For drives, I would probably go with HGSTs. This is of course based on backblaze's data, but it appears that some of the failure rates are changing, so you may want to look into that.

8 (plus one or two on hand for failures) is a huge chunk of change. I recommend watching hard drive prices on camel,camel,camel for price drops.

Welcome to the world of Synology. They are fucking awesome.

u/yaroto98 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm upgrading a few laptops for my small business. I usually adhere to some pretty strict superstitions with regards to RAM. I try not to mix and match since it seems like the few times I have it didn't turn out well.

My question is this. I'm buying 10 8GB sticks of RAM. The 16GB kit is cheaper per stick. Can I buy 5 kits and split the sticks?

u/bflaminio · 2 pointsr/LifeProTips

Absolutely. If anyone has a pre-Retina Mac (the kind where you could still upgrade the drive and memory, follow these steps:

  1. Backup all your data

  2. Download macOS Sierra but don't install it; instead, burn it to a USB stick using this: http://diskmakerx.com/

  3. Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW

  4. Buy this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G844L88

  5. Install both. It's easy.

  6. Boot with the macOS Sierra stick you made earlier and do a clean install.

  7. Marvel at how freakin' fast your old Mac is now. You don't even need the OP's LPT. Apps open instantly; even big ones.
u/SouthieSaar · 2 pointsr/india

Hey, I had ordered directly via the Crucial website last year. But this is the link on Amazon of the one that I bought. https://www.amazon.in/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ylWFzbG8W17BJ

This seems to be a good deal, although not fulfilled by Amazon, cause it seems that Crucial has increased the prices and made it almost double.

I still have the 4GB RAM. Can't find any use but don't want to throw it away.

I haven't installed a new hard disk yet. That's my next step and I'm saving for that right now. What I'm planning to do is to move the current HDD in place of the CD ROM and install a new 128GB flash drive in the area vacated by the existing HDD.

u/pointlesslyeducated · 2 pointsr/mac

I use photoshop & Afinity photo. They work fine.

video editing in adobe premier? im not too sure on this. But video editing on FCPX on 4k will work fine on this mbp.

If you upgrade to an SSD & upgrade the ram to a minimum 8gb, you can go ahead and upgrade to Catalina. Personally, im still on MacOS Mojave, and it works great on my 2012.

Ideally you only really need 10gb or 12gb of ram max. But since you either get to pick from 8gb or 16gb. i'd go for 16gb if it fits your budget.

Yep got DDR4 ram.

  1. I didn't flash a new bios.

  2. I did OC the CPU to 4.5ghz (or 4.4ghz will have to check when I get home) but I ran many stress tests and the OC seemed stable with no crashes. Also includes Firestrike benchmarks.

    The error seems to indicate a GPU problem but maybe it is the CPU OC. I thought it may have been me and my afterburner settings but it crashes with afterburner off too.
u/Quil0n · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I agree, GTX 1080 and i7-6700k are good changes.

Only thing I want to add is that most people don't need an ATX build unless they're doing triple SLI, insane water cooling, or have 10 drives. Still pick a case that fits your aesthetic choice, but IMO a mATX case like, for example, the Corsair Air 240, is just fine. Or just stick with an ATX build (that's your call).

Some minor stuff: you should be able to get faster RAM for the same price. Like this. Or get the same speed RAM for cheaper.

Also you don't need a fan hub, the Enthok Pro comes with one. While you won't be able to control them individually, the fans don't need to be individualized (just link them all to CPU/GPU temps).

Last thing is that you could get away with a 750W G2 PSU. Even if you plan to SLI 1080s in the future they won't consume that much power.

Edit: I lied, one more. Get the 850 Evo instead of the 840, 850 is much better.

u/Stunfury · 2 pointsr/letsplay

Definitely. You might also want to bring it down to 30 FPS until you get some really high end components. I think it would also be worth looking into getting some paired sticks of RAM at a higher base clock. Most RAM clocks in at around 2000 MHz, but you can get stuff at over 3000 MHz for maybe $10 extra as long as your motherboard supports it. Here's a good set IMO: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz

u/farknheathen · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I mean if you live near a Micro Center you can get a 2700x (as of yesterday) for under $200 so that is why I say wait until the new CPUs come out as the price might come down a bit or you realize you can afford the new tech and get a better boost. For 16GB of RAM you are looking around $80-$100 for solid RAM with good speed, example here. Yeah, people will opt for a smaller SSD which mainly contains the operating system and some other programs. Games, Photos, Videos and such are just stored on the traditional drives since boot time isn't as big of a concern.

u/mx5klein · 2 pointsr/Amd

You could get away with one for a while but the 3700x will last longer with more cores. I like the PSU choice but that memory is way overpriced for what it is - https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-Desktop-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC

  1. Don't wait for the Canadian dollar to appreciate against USD. It is unpredictable and by the time (read: if) it gets to a desirable level, your build may change based on the technology/market prices out there

     

  2. I'm guessing you're going with the Vengeance LPX in white solely to match your case. I have the base S340 in white, with the same RAM in black. I honestly don't notice the difference, especially since the inside of my case is not too brightly lit.

    If you're tight on money, the black version is available for $10 cheaper on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Corsair-Vengeance-3200MHz-PC4-25600-Memory/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495138023&sr=8-1&keywords=Corsair+-+Vengeance+LPX+16GB+%282+x+8GB%29+DDR4-3200

    I hadthe budget of getting the Elite, but decided to use the cost savings from not getting that to upgrade other components instead. The tempered glass is really nice, but I just made do with what I got.

    While it isn't the most pretty thing, my workaround for a headphone holder: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71SPY3VRLzL._AC_UL320_SR310,320_.jpg

     

  3. Shoot for that SSD ASAP IMO. Saves you the hassle of migrating data later on + re installations if you can make do with ~250GB-500GB in the meantime.

Hey, I took the guy above's advice and picked out some faster RAM. I chose the Corsair Vengeance since I get free 2 day shipping.
If you wanted to stay at the same price, I found this Team Dark 16GB DDR4 3000, but you'd have to get them soon since the sale on them ends Thursday.

u/oopsforgotmyusername · 2 pointsr/Amd

Its this kit and the timings are showing up as 16-17-17-35, which I believe is the advertised timings as well.

u/Mikuzoid · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Well I would recommend Getting something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK16GX4M2B3200C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B0143UM4TC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1549448311&sr=1-1&keywords=3200mhz+ram

​

IMO 3200MHz is really the sweet spot for DDR4. There are kits with a C14 timings on the market at that frequency but they cost £100 more(at least here in the UK) so it's not worth it.

u/GuSec · 2 pointsr/Amd

Thanks for the answer. I had a hard time googling it, I don't know why. This is quite unfortunate since I was planning on some day updating cooling to the Noctua NH-D15 or something. I guess I will simply have to exchange LED to LPX. CMU16GX4M2C3200C16R was what I ordered...

I guess then that CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 is what I want? Equivalent in performance but low profile (and no LED)?

u/scswift · 2 pointsr/oculus

Your upgrade looks like it will be way cheaper than mine was.

I got the Rift on sale for $350, but my PC was like 10 years old with only a new SSD in it.

Ended up getting an i5-9600K + MSI Z390 Gaming Edge for $470, 16 GB of RAM, Cooler Master 212 EVO which turned out to be huge and a huge pain in the ass to install (I recommend watching the video on that page that I didn't notice until after I installed the thing with only it's Ikea-like instructions.), but that big fan means it's far quieter than the tiny stock fans processors usually come with. The i5-9600K does not come with a fan either, so I had no choice and this was the most popular one on NewEgg.

Also got myself an MSI Gaming X GTX 1070 used on Ebay for $270. And because it only has one HDMI port, I decided to use that for the RIFT because it was less risky, and got a Displayport to HDMI cable which supports audio for my monitor which has the speakers built in and does not have a Displayport connector. Only afterward while taking my PC apart however did I realize I had the HMDI cable plugged into my old card with a DVI adapter, and the Gaming X has a DVI port as well, so I could have saved the money on the cable. :(

Also at the last minute I had to run out and grab a Corsair 750W power supply because my perfectly good Coolermaster 750W power supply did not have an 8 pin connector for my CPU. Of course, when I got it home it did not have the 4 pin connector and the motherboard has both a 4 pin and 8 pin and I assumed both would be needed, but I gave it a shot and just having the 8 pin was fine. But now I wonder if just having the 4 pin would also have been fine. The damn manual doesn't have a thing to say about it being okay to just use one of them, but being an electrical engineer I have to assume they're both tied to the same rail on the board, so I'm just gaining a bit more copper to lower the voltage drop if I were to connect a 4 pin as well, and the system seems perfectly stable, so perhaps they included the second connector to help with overclocking. I dunno.

Anyway, final tally including the Rift without a third sensor was $1,339.

And if you're wondering why I didn't go with AMD, well, I could have but when I priced it out, I wasn't actually going to save that much. And the Intel seemed like it would perform better with both games and applications and would just be less likely to have any issues like the Vive and its wireless solution do with AMD processors.

Part of the reason the AMD was not much cheaper is the same MSI motherboard would have been more expensive as an AMD variant and while the AMD included a cooler, the Cooler Master one was only $30 and had a bigger fan which meant it would likely be quieter. Though the AMD does run at a lower wattage, so it could be a toss up. All I know is my old PC sounded like a jet engine when I started doing any heavy lifting with 3D graphics, and it was still kinda noisy otherwise, but now its super quiet and even when running 3D apps that MSI card which I specifically chose because it's one of the quietest, was indeed really quiet.

Speaking of the 1070, my god that is a monster of a card! I barely fit it in my case. And my case is a full size tower. But it has extra 3.5" bays down the bottom where I have my hard drives installed and I had to move them down some more to get it to fit and it only barely slid in behind the metal frame of the drive bay.

Only other thing to mention is while I had no problem fitting my two ram sticks on the motherboard, that Cooler Master cooler's fan would probably collide with one of the ram sticks if I were to install four in there. I think the fan can slide up and down on the cooler though, so perhaps as long as you have low profile ram, you could slide it up a smidge or two to make it fit. Something to consider if you think you may eventually want 32 or 64GB of ram.

u/Kameron_Dark · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I was looking at this ram

Tying to figure out what is the best DDR4 RAM (16GB total) for a ryzen 9 3900x (or ryzen 5 3600) ?

I've read that the DDR4 PC3600 (PC28800) were one of the best with these Ryzen / AM4 socket.

(I don't want High Perf / Highly Overclockable RAM, just the best RAM for the bucks)

is those 2 similar and among the best choices?

Honestly your build seems pretty good, you might want to fork out a bit extra for some slightly faster ram. I’m pretty sure you should be able to get a 16gb 3000mhz cl15 kit of vengeance lpx off of Amazon.

1050ti is weaker than your 1060

Imo your best option for now would be to buy a new cpu, a new motherboard, 16gb ram and a cpu cooler (assuming you don't have one

And when you can, upgrade your gpu.

I'm assuming your case etc.. is fine

u/delatroyz · 2 pointsr/intel

2666 is official certified but XMP profile goes much higher. I agree with others saying that 3000 / 3200 ram is best value. I just bought this RAM recently for my upcoming 8700K build. It's not a great time to buy RAM with the prices where they're at but what can you do..

u/xXDanger_ZoneXx · 2 pointsr/computers

While your budget seems large, the vast majority is going to be taken up by the Nvidia 1080Ti

Part|Model
:--|:--
CPU|Ryzen 5 1500X
Motherboard|MSI B350 PC MATE
RAM|Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
GPU|ASUS ROG-STRIX-GTX 1080Ti

This might be a little out of your price, but I did my best. You could drop the price lower by going with 8GB of RAM instead of 16GB. The 1080Ti took up a vast majority of the budget, but I don't think going for the 1500X will impact performance much. The 1500X also comes with a fairly good stock cooler (Wraith Cooler).

Amazon has Crucial compatible ram in 16 gig as well. Works great (at least it has for over a year for me). Don't worry about brand, worry about it being listed as mac compatible, any that are should work just fine. (also, ones that aren't listed as mac compatible may still work, it's just not worth the time to go through and test which ones do)

This is amazing - I cannot thank you enough and I really like the i5 from the review, the multi-threading of i7 will not matter at all with the games I play.

My only question is on Windows 7. Unfortunately I do have a legit version, but I believe it is lost now (code wise as it was on a student account that is now dead). You notes £30.00 for it, but I cannot see it for such a price anywhere. Are you aware of where I can get it for such a good price? [EDIT - ignore me I have found it. Thanks again.]

With regards to Ram, if I were to get a highler clock speed, would you have any recommendation. If you believe the version you recommended is ample then not a problem. I did see this for a little bit more?

Yes, I will wait on the 1080 is solidly out and not just the Founder's edition. Ty also as I was not sure what that meant.

Thank you again :)

u/Jakeattack77 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

new board means new ram ONLY if you get a new cpu as well.

if you simply get a z97 which is lga1150 then both your cpu and ram will still work (technically devils canyon the 4670k and 4790k were designed to be on z97 rather than 87 anyway)

but getting mostly matching ram will be your issue. yet 16gb ddr3 isnt super cheap right now, and a 2x4gb 1333 to match what you have now isnt even that much cheaper!

if you have an old computer you can save some parts and moeny by reusing the power supply, hdd and maybe the case. all that will be around 250-300, the you will have 200 to buy 4 poe 1080p cameras 50 each, and good things is that you can add more later on, best of the luck, you do need few more parts so let me know if you interested and i will put them together for you. you can take a look at mine at http://mymun2.25u.com:81 demo/demo for username and passowrd.

It comes to ~3715 PLN + the case + RAM for this build :( I guess you're paying extra for importing etc. I can cut down a bit more if you'd like?

Didn't pick a case as this is up to you how you'd like it to look. The site doesn't seem to have DDR4 RAM on it, so you'll have to find that somewhere else as you can't use DDR3 (it damages the newer generation CPUs). You could possibly get it off Amazon? https://www.amazon.de/HX421C14FBK2-16-Arbeitsspeicher-2133MHz-compatible/dp/B00TY6A1LY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468245956&sr=8-1&keywords=ddr4-2133+16gb

Changed the PSU to a Seasonic one (they actually make EVGAs G2 series PSUs). Changed the MOBO to a Gigabyte one that is equally as good. Cheaper monitor with built in speakers (not any lower quality).

u/ahhhhhh_101 · 2 pointsr/Battlegrounds

Ram is the issue here. 8 GB of ram is fine most of the time, but for a new game like Battlegrounds that requires a lot of physical memory to function properly, you'll need AT LEAST 8 gb of DDR4 RAM for the game to load all the textures properly.

DDR3 RAM will work with older games. However, DDR3 is quickly becoming outdated due to increasing map sizes and more complex graphical coding.

Hope this helped. I would recommend this 16 GB RAM pack:

u/nokmanoks2 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

You didn't link anything for the RAM though. I looked at some 2133 8Gb RAM in Amazon and I just realized that you'll only save like 10 Pounds, but it's better than nothing right? The one I'm looking at is this. To be honest the only reason I'm saying that you need to get a cheaper RAM is because your motherboard can only support 2133 RAM, so even if you get the pricey 3200 RAM it'll only run at 2133 so then you're paying extra for something that you can't use at its full potential.

For the cooler, if you can find one I suggest getting the Cryorig H7 which is cheaper than the 212 Evo but performs better, but if not then it's perfectly fine.

Well if everything fits according to Pcpartpicker then you're halfway there, only thing needed is to check reviews for the case if there are any problems assembling the whole thing (lack of space for cable management, non-removable front panels, etc.), then you'd also want to check the clearances for the case, then you're good.

  • Your monitor is too good for the PC you are building. It won't make things worse, but it's just wasted potential. If you don't plan on upgrading by buying a dedicated GPU (GTX 1070 or something similar), there is no point in wasting that money.

  • If you want to use a APU (CPU + GPU combined), you need fast/good RAM. You also must use dual-channel (2 sticks). The best option per dollar is 2x4GB 3000Mhz DDR4 RAM. Link for example.

  • You can overclock the CPU portion or the GPU portion of your 2400g. I suggest the GPU portion since that is the 'bottleneck' of this build.

  • Conclusion - get different RAM for now and get a dedicated GPU later. In the meantime, your CPU speed will be good and you can play games at 60 fps or lower on medium to low settings. Once you get a new GPU it will be a good setup.

The difference between 2133 CAS 15 and 3000 CAS 16 is 10% increase. And about $5-10.

The difference between 3000 CAS 16 and 3200 CAS 14 is around 2.5%. And about $40.

Thats why most Ryzen builds have 3000 CAS 16 or even 15 as it really isnt much more.

2400 CAS 16

3000 CAS 15

Its $13 here, however that is because the 2400mhz RAM is on special with $10 off. Normally the difference is $3. And its a 10% performance difference.

8 GB ram + Ryzen 1600 + MOBO = 358

RAM is crazy expensive right now... If you want 16Gb, its gonna be like 170$.

there are some good deals on amazon for ram right now, if you really want RGB, the ram you chose is the best, but if you don't care about that, just get the corsair memory below on amazon, save 25 dollars. Other than that, you have a solid build.

For the i7-6700K you should get a better cooler to enable real overclocks, and it is always good to pair a Z170 board with faster ram.

If you can re-use your case you should do so, they are meant to live several builds.

This build combines the mentioned improvements as well as a better psu and a cheaper SSD:

If you can really get the Gainward GTX 970 Phoenix GS for less than the Gigabyte G1 would cost you, then get the Gainward.

> Since this GraCa has 3 Display Ports, what exactly does that mean in windows terms?

It is just another port to connect your display to. If the monitor you have currently has no display port, then you should get a card that has a fitting output for it, like HDMI or DVI (careful with analog and digital DVI, get the correct one for your display).

PS:

I do all my editing on a 4 year old 15inch macbook pro and it's absolutely solid for lightroom, photoshop and panorama stitching. If you buy a used non retina macbook, switching out the hard drive for an SSD and putting 16GB of ram in it will only cost you about $160. Get the core i7 and this set up will cost you around $800 and last you years.

With the older macbooks you can also switch out the CD drive with a 2TB hard drive and have all your photos locally, get a data doubler and a 2tb drive and you'll have yourself a beast of a machine with all the storage you need. They give you all the instructions, it's really quite simple

u/skiattle · 1 pointr/mac

This laptop, this RAM, and this hard drive. It's what we run standard as our work machines. They are fast, dependable and straight forward. You could save some money by going with an 8GB RAM install, or splurge and get a 960GB SSD hard drive.

u/EvioliteSSB · 1 pointr/macbook

OP: Get an SSD (I highly recommend this one, which I use in my Mid-2012 cMBP 13")

Also, get some more RAM. I have 16GB of this Crucial RAM and the machine runs great.

Make these upgrades and you should be in a better place.

The 13 inch Mid 2010 model will accept and use 16GB according to Mactracker. The 15 and 17 inch models do not.

u/butter_lover · 1 pointr/macbookpro

i upgraded two of my kids 2012 15" non-retina mbp. The 500gb SSDs were under $100 and the 16gb ram was just over $100. IMO the old disk isn't worth it but i did buy an inexpensive silicone rubber usb hard drive thingie that nobody ever used once upgraded. The laptops ran better than new and neither one of them (one out of the house now) can think of a reason to upgrade although they just do web and photos, no gaming other than old sims etc.
I don't think you could get an ipad for 250.

Crucial RAM has worked great. I have 24GB of RAM in mine Their memory is Mac certified and works flawlessly

Fair warning. The process of adding the ram is enough to make your balls shrink to the size of raisins because you have to pull the existing 8GB of ram (2 x 4GB sticks) with considerable force using an anti-static cloth and a pair of pliers. You see although there are two slots free you must swap the 16GB kit into where the 8Gb kit is and the put the 8GB kit in the empty slots or else the iMac won't boot. I don't know why but this is also corroborated by other reviews. You have very little leverage on the factory RAM which is why you must resort to these tactics. I'm not kidding - Superman couldn't get those sticks out with his 'batin arm without using tools.

u/SilverSnakes88 · 1 pointr/mac

Don't bother with all that application stuff- everymac.com is a simple way to look up your machine. Is it the 2013 27" version?

http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i7-3.5-27-inch-aluminum-late-2013-specs.html

This gives the exact type of RAM you will need and maximum supported.

the iMac can hold up to 4x8GB chips so 32GB is your maximum memory. It probably comes with 2x4GB chips in it so you can add on in the other slots to upgrade your memory. I would suggest at least another 8GB for your editing work and maybe another 8-16G if you want to dedicate some to Bootcamp or a virtual machine (Parallels Desktop is a good example).

Amazon can beat OWCs prices anyday. This is the type of RAM you need: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008LTBJFW?pc_redir=1409054757&robot_redir=1

That is to add 16GB to the current 8GB it comes with so you will have 24GB in that scenario. Should be plenty!

OWC is $50 more for a 16GB kit...

u/SuperKamarameha · 1 pointr/applehelp

Thanks for the reply. I think it was good quality RAM just based on customer reviews when I purchased it in September 2013 (Crucial 16GB Kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LTBJFW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). No problems until earlier this year after about 5 years of use, and the only problem was the pixellation stuff—no speed issues.

u/ArnTheGreat · 1 pointr/qnap

I bought the 2GB unit, and it came shipped with 2x1 (It only has 2 slots). I -thought- I had to buy the 8GB version for some reason, but my purchase history says other-wise.

For HDDs I am using [these beauts] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M1BUBSO/) To be fair, I ahve fairly sensitive hearing, and my wife and guests don't notice 'em much. But right now I am listening to music, and I can CLEARLY tell someone is streaming something because I hear those HDDs a-churning. I am probably ~4 feet away from it currently in my office, though.

For memory I bought these beasts as they were basically the only confirmed ones to work.

Hi, today one of my sticks of 8 GB ram died (my total was 16 GB which you can see here). I want to get another stick to replace it so is it okay to just buy one 8 GB stick of the same type? Should I just buy 16 GB and replace the other stick as well?

u/van9750 · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Almost all modern games only use 8gb of RAM which is why I only gave you 8. However, it's extremely easy (and cheap) to upgrade, so you can definitely add more down the line if you want. If you do, make sure you add the same kind as before. If you want 16gb now to future-proof, get this:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J8E8Y5C/?tag=pcpapi-20

As for keyboards, the Corsair k70 is great and very well reviewed, but it's fairly expensive (around $120 I think). I don't know much about mechanical keyboards though, so you might want to try r/keyboards for extra help. If you're set on a mechanical keyboard, make sure you know which switch type you want (look it up if you're not sure what you're looking for- Cherry MX blue is the most popular, and the best IMO). Hope this helps!

I assume it's either a compatibility issue or hardware issue with the sticks of ram itself. Do you see anything that would cause compatibility issues based on what I posted?

Here are links to full specs of what I have

2GB Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820231449

Thanks again for lending a hand.

u/BojakUnbound · 1 pointr/starcitizen

I say go for the 16gb, cause it's so cheap now days, why not have the extra power? $77 for Kingston HyperX Fury 16gb

u/XstellarX · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Thanks! Quick follow-up question. If I wanted to go with this case instead would everything fit? Secondly if I wanted 16gb of memory would this be good or is there a better recommendation?

u/Aozi · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

So that SSD seems a bit excessive....

You're generally better off getting a smaller SSD, like 250GB along with a larger mass storage.

Swap that 1TB SSD for this 275GB SSD and this 2TB HDD. You're gonna save almost 100$ on this and have more storage.

You can also get some cheaper RAM like This Kingston HyperX FURY, yeah it's slower at 2133 mhz, butit really doesn't matter.

Now you have about 110$ left over which you can put into a better GPU. You can get a GTX 1070 for 399$ so you'd need to get an extra 20$ on top of your current funds. The 1070 offers substantially better performance than the 1060, you're easily looking at gaining 20-30 frames on average in most games.

u/austinw24 · 1 pointr/buildapc

> The motherboard didn't have as many bad reviews on newegg. (What's up with that? Most mb's seem to have so many problems). But, I'm not crazy about the white/black theme.

If you would prefer a quality Z170 board with a black only theme, you might want to look at this board. LINK It is incredibly easy to OC with, great color theme (or lack of) and great built in features.

Remember on RAM for gaming (I did not read your first post so I have no idea of why you are building this PC but I am assuming it is for gaming), speed is less important than CAS. You chose high speed but also high CAS ram. You would be better off in looking for a 13 or 14 CAS rating RAM. Example to stick with black theme

Hitachi drives are not known for long term reliability. You may want to get a FireCuda (if gaming), other barry drive or a WD Black or 7200RPM NAS or Datacenter Drive.

Since you are spending $150 on an SSD, you may want to grab an M.2 drive for ease of cable management and additional speed. Smaller capacity or More expensive or Green PCB

PSU - I would get the 750w because it is on sale for a few dollars more than the 650w right now. It will allow a better efficiency because of where your system will land on the curve. Either is fine though.

I have no experience on monitors so I will not comment.

Other than that, solid build.

u/edurodenas · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you want to stick with your current MOBO your best choice would be the i7-2700k. However, I would recommend you to upgrade to Skylake, which means new MOBO, CPU and new RAM.

u/Pistacie · 1 pointr/buildapc

Thanks!

I will swap the ram with these and i will get the case you recommended.

I would like to be vive proof. Also I want to mode skyrim pretty hard. I was thinking about i5-4690 (K or non K, don't know), would you still recommend i5-6500? I guess it's because of DDR4. I will probably pick the motherboard from those you listed that will be cheapest for me.

And I forgot to ask about if I should get sound card,I am using shure srh440 and might upgrade one day to better ones, but I am not sure if sound card will boost me anything.

Thank you again!

EDIT: Edited part list

u/LooperGamer · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I suppose I dont need a disc reader honestly I stream movies but I thought pc games would be cheaper on a disc but then I remembered theres steam? are games cheaper on amazon or on steam>? as for the ram I switched out for this:

u/TheHippiez · 1 pointr/buildapc

You can buy 2x 8g RAM for that money. ( Don't know where your from, but if I can buy it in the Netherlands you can buy it everywhere lol. )

EDIT: ok India of course ( or close ), anyway.

EDIT 3: On the motherboard thing, do you plan to overclock or SLI? As far as I know, go for decent but cheap. Motherboards come with lots of features, most of them you will never ever use.

u/FlatTextOnAScreen · 1 pointr/gamingpc

If you're not looking into over-clocking you can save like $60 by going down to a i5-7500, H270 mobo instead of a Z270, EVGA 500w is almost $10 cheaper than the Corsair you picked, and lower DDR4 memory for another $10 or so.

Here are the cheaper parts from Amazon:

HyperX RAM 16GB

MSI Pro H270

EVGA 500 B1

i5 7500.

Other than that, solid build.

So I'm trying to purchase RAM for my build but I'm having a slight problem. I'm trying to buy this RAM from Newegg or Amazon but I have noticed the parts # are different. So my question is: what's the difference between this and this? Why are the part # different?

Hey could you tell me if this RAM is okay for the same build? Decided to just get this rather than using the same ECC RAM I had:

Replaced the RAM with this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00TY6A1LY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

I'm not sure about which PSU to use instead and haven't looked at anything other than the CX500 because it's a good price. I want at least 500W for at most £50. What's the benefit of a semi-modular PSU in this case?

I used to want a mATX build but I was worried about parts not fitting and it being a limiting factor for future upgrades.

You told me to grab 2133 ram over what I had selected. I bought Two https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00TY6A1LY/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

However I'm having difficulties getting them to snap in. Did I mess up?

u/iTzKPanda · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hm. So what's the difference between this ram set and this one? .

u/2d15d7c4 · 1 pointr/buildapc

There are good deals for HyperX RAM on Amazon UK.

32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 2400 £137

16GB (2x8GB) 2133MHz £62 and you could also just double up on this kit for 32GB total costing £124. That's pretty good!

u/TheTaiwanMan · 1 pointr/buildapc

hi thanks for the reply.

the RAM i got was actually DDR4, which I think is 1.2V? I'm not sure, i got it from amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TY6A1LY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ram is locked in tight, CPU_FAN plugged in, doubled check front panel pin placements, took out the PSU and verified cables tightly plugged in, still nothing.



u/47Argentum · 1 pointr/buildapc

Oh whoops, I added the LPX at PCPartPicker, but I actually got these instead.

u/r1nzl3r82 · 1 pointr/buildapcsalesuk

This 2x8GB deal is good, it will leave you with spare slots for upgrading in the future. This is good because you don't need to get rid of the RAM you already have. Are you planning on overclocking? Got details to share about the rest of your setup?

u/darkblue1919 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I currently have 2x4GB of DDR4 2133MHz RAM installed in my system. My motherboard has 4 slots, so I have room to upgrade, and I would like to go up to 16GB of memory.

My question is, is it optimal to repurchase the same model of memory sticks that I bought at first? Will there be a difference in performance if I buy a different company or a different MHz model?

My current RAM is this, 2x4GB. I have an Intel i5-6500 for my CPU.

u/Sendiym · 1 pointr/buildapc

what sticks would you go with?
I just had to change the stick to the actual price which is £56 on Amazon

EDIT: Kingston HyperX Fury Black - is that better?

u/oohkinky · 1 pointr/patientgamers

The difference between the higher and lower RAM in that video seems to be around pretty small (~£5-10) in the UK, seen here and here for example. So you're right in that regard. I should have clarified that I was more comparing it to DDR3 ram, which I bought for very cheap (£28). But looking on amazon, it seems that DDR3 is not sold or much less sold than it used to be. I built my PC last year where DDR3 and 4th gen CPUs/mobos were still fairly popular. It seems that's not the case anymore!

u/Sky_Hawk105 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Whoops, I was wrong. Apparenly the mobo can use DDR3 memory. Although DDR4 would still be recommended.

http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1465230898&sr=1-3&keywords=ddr4

This is actually cheaper DDR4 and it would run better.

u/Hansalel · 1 pointr/buildapc

alright thanks a lot. b150 motherboards prices seem to start at 77€, while h110 prices start at 55€, in the finnish store i will buy them from. i don't really want the ram anyway, 8gb is enough for games, right? i only hit 8gb when the game has a ram leak :P

also just to make sure, this ram is fine right? https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0

u/leaffblower · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm getting the PC today so I'm pretty excited and I want to make sure I have everything figured out. The financial situation has changed a bit, so I don't really have a huge restraint, but I'm still trying to make it affordable, so I'm keeping most of the stuff I have. I am absolutely fine with my laptop being wiped. That's cool because I'm giving it to my Dad. The laptop came with Windows 8, and now has the most recent version of Windows 10, but I can buy a new copy if I need to. The external drive I have has ALL of the information I need, and I can't really transfer that because I don't have any other drive big enough. So would there be a way I could install my new computer onto it, and keep all of the info? Or do I have to buy another one. Just a reminder, It's an SSD. This: https://www.amazon.ca/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1511628593&sr=8-3&keywords=DDR4 is the RAM I decided upon.

u/Shabbypenguin · 1 pointr/xboxone

Why not the 6100/63xx?

ddr4 is comparable in price http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1464485911&sr=1-2&keywords=ddr4

a nice bump and allows for easier upgrading should the person want to. a 6100 is $116ish and 6320 is $150ish with the unofficial overclock it gets a nice boost in power too.

Guys i'm pretty sure he's asking us to suggest him a RAM stick.

OP, you need at least 8GB i'd say, depends on your budget, any RAM will do fine.

Also, DDR3/DDR4 depends on your motherboard. You can't just mix and match, tell us the name of your motherboard and we will tell you what RAM to buy.

DDR4 8GB for 32$: https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0

I was thinking of dropping the PSU to 600-750 which is a $40 difference (May run a second GPU but that would be way in the future when I decide to do upgrades)

Yeah I suppose there's no reason and can save a bit of money there.

u/SkullCandyy · 1 pointr/buildapc

I would upgrade to an AM4 motherboard; you would have to replace your DDR3 with DDR4, but it will future proof your setup for a while. Also in terms of upgrading CPU I would go with a Ryzen 5 1600, it's price to performance ratio is pretty much unparellelled and you are going to have a great rig.

I would say get:

ASUS Prime B350-Plus

AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Kingston HyperX FURY Black 8GB

u/BigBenny60 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yeah I'm aware of 16 gb not being exactly necessary. My ram is the bottleneck of my build right now, I have four sticks, two 4 gbs and two 2 gbs, all of which I received from a friend when I first built my PC. I've since upgraded all my components except my ram, and currently I'm having some strange performance issues which I believe to be related to my ram being outdated, the sticks are incredibly old.

I wasn't aware of DDR4 being the new top choice, I'll have to look into those. Also, I primarily game, but I game hardcore on the most demanding settings, so 16 gb isn't necessarily needed, but I also do some creative projects that require a decent amount of rendering so I figured I'd just go all out.

Edit: Just found these, what do you think?

Where you can find the RAM QVL It's nice as a reference, but we've seen a lot of RAM compatability improvements in recent BIOS releases, while this list hasn't been updated since the board's release. ANY ram should work, more a matter of if you'll get full speed. At 2666, you probably won't have any issues hitting that speed.

Assuming you want to buy from Amazon, looks like the Corsair set is a tiny bit cheaper, in stock, and rated for faster speed. If you want the HyperX stuff that's fine too. Getting 3000MHz stuff to 2933 usually isn't too hard though. Like I said before, the 3200 mark is what's hard to reach these days. Honestly? Go with whoever you think will have better customer support or honor warranties incase you have errors after the 30 day return/replacement period with Amazon ends. Make sure you give the sticks a good Memtest run once you get your system running to check for errors NOW, and not discover you're having problems a month after you buy them.

Yeah, video card budget is a pain. I had 400 set aside for a video card, ideally a Vega56, 4 months later, I've dumped my budget into some nice headphones once I saw the December surge. Kind of regret not buying that one Gigabyte Vega 56 I saw for 420 one day back in like... october? but thought it'd come down a little more if I waited another week, or when Black Friday came around. Also regret not just settling on a 4gb 580 for 200 on the Black Friday sales. Oh well, can still game on my old HD 6950 on low, and listen to some nice headphones too.

It's possible to game on 8gb of RAM, you just may find yourself wanting to shut down your browser that's trying to suck 3-4gb when you start up a game. Browsers are HORRID RAM-Hogs these days. 16gb is a nice buffer or if you like to multitask a bit.

You can always grab an SSD in the future. It's about 80 dollars for a decent 250gb one. If you find a sale you might be able to snag for around 65-70. I'd be tempted to do this before getting 8 more gigs of RAM when you upgrade in the future if you're not a heavy multitasker.

Edit: One more thing, remember you can always try to manually overclock your RAM higher. It's POSSIBLE you could take a 2666 rated kit and get it to 2800 or 2933. Depends on your luck, patience, willingness to try.

u/ScruffyRumble · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

would you recomend this, its not on the Memory QVL list on asrocks website but i would assume it works, right?

u/BSamuelC · 1 pointr/buildapc

I would probably go for [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-2666MHz-PC4-21300-Memory/dp/B0123ZAQJE/ref=sr_1_20?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1487643320&sr=1-20&keywords=ddr4) or [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-3000MHz-PC4-24000-Memory/dp/B0123ZBPDA/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487643346&sr=8-2&keywords=ddr4+3000mhz) ram instead, cheaper and faster, I know your motherboard doesn't support that speed but if you decide to upgrade in the future, you then got faster ram on hands, as say a Z270 can support well over 3000mhz.

Otherwise all okay.

I got a
Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000mhz C15 Memory Kit - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0123ZBPDA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_O3m7gl3jRu3Rz
Running at 2933, but

I'm curious to as if I can overclock it to 3200mhz? I tried using a 16-18-18-36 at 1.35v and it worked booted but at some point through the night it rebooted my PC and reverted it back to stock setting at 1066 is there anyway to ahieve this?

Also how can I get 4.0ghz to stick in bios? I seem to mess with it at 1.35v and instead it boots at 2.2ghz, but with amd ryzen master app it seems to do the job at 4.0 in stock settings no modifications in bios, but within bios it won't agree with me

Im thinking of getting the GTX 1050 ti but leaning more towards 1060

u/brennenburg · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you only want 8GB of ram, you should still get 2x4 GB sticks for dual channel speed. If youre sticking with 2133 MHz speed, get this. You would want 3000MHz speed though, at least. Most people will tell you to get even more speed, cause Ryzen benefits from high ram speed. If youve got 40€ extra, get these 3000MHz 2x4GB ones.

Manufacturer doesnt matter too much here, choose any of the big RAM sellers such as Corsair, GSkill, Kingston and so on.

I think 1 SSD and 2 HDD is more than enough for normal consumption. And back to your question I got the these for the my pc I just built recently. For the motherboard I'm not sure if you can get an AM4 socket ATX motherboard for around $75.

While I do not own AMD any apus, my linux RADEON gpu experience are great

If I was making I would buy A12-9800 (~ 100€) and B350 motherboard (~80€). The memory is DDR4 and is now "expensive". Since the build is cheap, you should invest a bit more in faster memory so the embeded radeon is not too much bottlenecked by ram speed:2x 4GB 3000MHz for 80€.
Add 60€ for case and power supply and you can get "1080p" linux gaming pc


The motherboard are compatible with new Ryzen and will also be compatible with future, "ryzen 2" cpus, which makes future proof machine.

Would you recommend this RAM? It's 3000Mhz.

I would've gone for a 1060, but unfortunately they're out of my budget at the moment and that 1050 ti I chose above is about £40 cheaper than it was a few weeks ago, so I was thinking it might be a good deal for now until or if GPU prices start to drop back down.

u/superspacecakes · 1 pointr/buildapcsalesuk

yes at the time it was equivalent lowest price ram i could find! I thought overclockers black friday deals was super bad but they are slowly adding more deals!

so for example yesterday they had this Dark 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 3000MHz
£38.99

Now the lowest price one i could find on PCpartpicker was this Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-3000
£49.95 OFF £20.50 (29%) According to camelcamelcamel the lowest price was £59.99

Now with postage and packaging on Overclockers they probably work out about the same. But if you want fancy superfluous led ram Overclocker have gots some very good deals for you!

edit: my link to camelcamelcamel had affiliate links in it so um just check for yourself ; 3 ;

Hey! Thanks so much for the suggestions. I don't intend to do any overclocking, so it seems like a good choice to swap out the CPU. I've changed the motherboard, graphics card and found myself a nice hard drive

Do you think this is a better build for me?


Type|Item|Price
:----|:----|:----
CPU | Intel Core i5-6600 3.3GHz | £200 @ Amazon
Motherboard | Gigabyte Intel LGA1151 D3HP Motherboard | £100 @ Amazon
GPU | Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 1152 NVIDIA CUDA Cores Mini 3 GB | £185 @ Amazon
Memory | Corsair CMK8GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4 3000Mhz CL15 XMP 2.0 | £50 @ Amazon
PSU | Corsair CP-9020102-UK CX Series 550W Power Supply Unit | £60 @ Amazon
SSD | Silicon Power Slim 120 GB SSD | £40 @ Amazon
HD | Toshiba P300 High Performance 1TB Internal Hard Drive | £40 @ Amazon
Case | Corsair Carbide Series 400C Mid-Tower ATX Performance Computer Case - Black | £97 @ Amazon
|| Total
| (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.) | £775.50

Also, thanks for the heads up, I'll try and find my hard drives somewhere else.

u/thefeebster · 1 pointr/buildapc

The new build does look fine. That is quite a good deal on the 1060. You could shave off a few dollars for different RAM, same Mhz on amazon (Corsair/Crucial), unless you are set on Kingston. Or do even better with the Corsair Vengeance 3000Mhz $62 (Select the sold by amazon one) https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0123ZBPDA/ref=dp_olp_new_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=new

I only did a brief look to see the games you play and how well they do with the budget GPUs suggested, didn't find a lot of benchmarks, besides Arma 3... in which the 1060 3GB consistently outperformed the 470.

I recently made the jump from Win7 to Win10. I agree, it seems to boot faster and perform a bit better. But i think you could give it try to see if you can upgrade for free. I just did it 2 weeks ago and it worked, despite being well outside the free upgrade period. Didn't even have to do the "accessibility" workaround, which you can also do to save a few dollars.

u/Boonigan · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Would there be any cons to not having more than one PCI slots on my mobo if I'm not planning on running an SLI setup or needing wireless?

Also, I got a great deal on [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0123ZBPDA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) RAM kit and went ahead and purchased it. Will I run into any problems with it? On the topic of RAM, I'd like to see about getting a mobo that has more DIMM slots for expandability in the future. Do you know of any that I could look into? If they're a little pricier, it's no big deal.

u/Xx_Buckfoi_xX · 1 pointr/buildapc

Great build overall, however the ram choice is a bit weird. A much safer bet would be to go for 8gb Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz and is cheaper overall

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0123ZBPDA/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496218428&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=corsair+vengeance+lpx+8gb&dpPl=1&dpID=41so3MkMewL&ref=plSrch

SSD choice is interesting as well, it might be better for you to go for one 250gb ssd and a 1tb harddrive than one large expensive ssd.

u/theredbaron1834 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I really want the x370 because of the added sata ports, and the more pcie lanes.

However, others have suggested higher mhz ram, and some searching, I found these Corsair. 3000mhz. Plus, I upped to the 1600. Still have about $5 left on my account after too :).

u/Wrath-X · 1 pointr/Amd

This Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 3000MHz is probably the best bang for buck (97$).

I am keeping an eye on that one and the Dominator 3200MHz just in case it goes on sale ( I have seen it for 129$). But not buying anything until after Zen gets released. Just to make sure it's compatible and stuff.

Would it make the most sense then from a cost efficiency perspective to just buy 16x2 of Corsair, the same RAM speed (or should I get 3866)? How do I know if I can get Dual Channel?

I noticed that 3000 vs. 3200 vs. 3866 there is a pretty big difference in price for 2x8.

Is there any difference between these two besides price?

If you did want a laptop I would totally snag this or this. Both have enough hardware to play current AAA titles and will last for a few years for sure

If you do want to part out a PC to build Amazon might not be the most cost effective so check a bunch of different sites to make sure before pulling the trigger (including microcenter if there's one near you). Here's a decent start list though:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 $199.99

GPU: Zotac RTX 2070 $556.43

Mobo: Gigabyte x470 Aorus Ultra Gaming $124.90

RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3000mhz $69.99

Storage: Samsung 970 Evo m.2 nvme 500GB for OS/select programs $89.99

2TB Seagate Firecuda SSHDD for library storage, if necessary $59.99

PSU: EVGA 650W, 80 plus gold rated fully modular PSU $97.06

OS: [OEM Win10](https://www.amazon.com/Windows-Home-English-Language-Product/dp/B07TW6G6JP/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=windows+10&qid=1563210474&s=gateway&sr=8-7]. $72.00 Not need if you already have. Pretty sure you can get even cheaper OEM copies out there. Or y'know, other means. Or Linux, etc

Total: $1270.35 including the OEM Win10 which you may or may not need

Missing items: monitor, mouse, keyboard, case. Compared to the prebuilt at $1499.99 that leaves you $229.64 to get a case & any necessary peripherals, upgrade any items on the list, or just pocket the 'savings'

The ibuypower one linked doesn't appear to be that bad. But when reading the comments there are people who got the 8700k version for $1350 (currently $1433, one you linked "on sale" for 1499.99)...so pricing might be misleading. Also keep in mind SI's need to make a profit and usually skimp when it comes to things like cooling, storage and motherboards. I can't tell what mobo that has, but it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you want to overclock, probably not as good components and features as what I listed though. The cooling is actually pretty nice with the cpu watercooling at that price. But not sure on how it is for the other components (ie system case fans). The storage is a bit shit, with a smaller sata ssd and a smaller much slower mechanical hdd. The RAM isn't much better, going off amazon reviews it's basically no name ram at 2666mhz. Also they use a generic 600W psu and apparently the included mouse and keyboard stink. So gotta take the good with the bad but the one I price out looks like a much better option across the board and leaves you room to pick and choose certain upgrades n such

u/AwkwardSheep · 1 pointr/buildapc

I suppose the difference in programming/modeling/animation won't be noticeable either?

Funnily enough, one of the cheapest RAM option available to me atm is the Corsair LPX 2x8GB at 3000MHz on sale at Amazon, so I'll be over-compensating a little as far as RAM goes.

Hi, so I put it together but I'm having some issues. I'm not sure if they're because I'm a first time builder or because I bought this ram: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0143UM4TC/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1 instead of the one listed by you guys because it was out of stock when I was ordering parts. Or maybe faulty hardware.

Basically, my PC only sometimes sends a full signal to the monitor when turning it on. The monitor often just enters power saving mode. It's not the monitors problem.

When it does send the signal, I can only play about 2 minutes of a game before I get a ton of white square artifacts on my screen, game freeze, and then it automatically restarts. I don't believe this really happens outside of a game.

Could I have possibly shorted the motherboard when trying to align the support screws with the motherboard holes? Could this be a driver issue? Or is my gpu faulty? It will take forever to RMA.

I will be troubleshooting it this weekend while meeting up with a friend who is a little more knowledgeable than me with computers. Any ideas for tests?

The RAM you have listed is waaaay too expensive for the speed. You can go with 16gb crucial value ram on Amazon for $103 or look for faster RAM (~3000-3200mhz) for the price you're at. Supposedly faster RAM helps with ryzen.

u/aquabear111 · 1 pointr/buildapc

For my Ryzen 1600 build I bought a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 motherboard and GeiL Evo X 3000 memory. (Bought for $145). I'm wondering if I should return the memory and go for this instead.

Would it be worth the extra money for 3200 vs 3000? I bought the GeiL memory because it's on Gigabytes memory QVL, but I'm second guessing my choice now and wondering if I should go for the faster memory and hope that it either works out of the box, or will work in the (hopefully) not too distant future.

What do you guys think, stick with what I've got or go with the Corsair memory? Thanks!

It is not directly on the list, but based on my findings CMK16GX4M2B3200C16R and CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W are, which based on a simple check, are just the red and white versions of the same RAM (mine is black)

So with that said, according to MSI, this ram should hit 3200 for Ryzen. I cannot verify since my stuff isn't going to ship to me until next week sadly :-/

I ended up going for an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 which I intend to overclock a bit with stock cooler, and then when I get the AM4 bracket for my Corsair Hydro 90, I want to overclock to 4ghz if possible.

show me your secrets. I turn A-XMP profile on and it fails to post. Even at 3000mhz it can't post

u/MeCJay12 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Well I don't really know how you can sensibly use that whole budget. He's my recommendation for a bit less

Ryzan 7 1800X

Corsair H100i v2

Asus B350-F

Corsair 16GB 3200MHz RAM

So that is the high end Ryzen CPU. With that Mobo you can over clock and the liquid CPU cooler will keep it all cool. The ram is high clock so you get the best out of Ryzen.

AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler - YD260XBCAFBOX - £123.97
Gigabyte B450M DS3H (Socket AM4/B450/DDR4/S-ATA 600/Micro ATX) - £64.57
Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4 3200 MHz C16 XMP 2.0 High Performance Desktop Memory Kit, Black - £69.98

£258.52 all from amazon, I was looking at the 2600 standard to start with but for an extra £13 or so with the higher clock speeds and improved cooler, this looks to be the ideal one!

I've already got 8gb ram but I need 16gb to play pubg and rust as the lag is unbearable, can I use 2 different brands of ram together as long as they are the same spec as there is cheaper ram with the same spec as the current ram I have.

u/pugdogs10 · 1 pointr/PcMasterRaceBuilds

Wow this was so incredibly helpful, thank you! So if I do upgrade to the motherboard you posted, which I think I'm going to, would you suggest 2x8GB RAM or 4x4? I'm not sure if there is a difference between the two. Will any DDR4 RAM fit in my motherboard? I found a 2x4GB DDR4-3000 on amazon and want to make sure it would fit before I order.

For the video card I mostly plan on playing games like fortnite and rocketleague, will the GTX 1060 3GB be good enough for that? I really don't need super high level graphics, but obviously I still want it to look good. I just want to make sure it runs at 1080p 60 fps. Im also wondering how important single vs double fan is?

EDIT: I also noticed on that motherboard you posted it says 4x DDR4-2667/2400/2133 for memory. DOes that mean I can't use DDR4 2666?

u/davidthedemon1 · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

I don't know much about pcs, but i was wondering why you chose that ram? wouldnt this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/?tag=pcpapi-20) be better? Its faster and 8gb

u/TakeHerToFrance · 1 pointr/buildapc

I have 4x4gb sticks of this RAM - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/?tag=pcpapi-20, and a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU.

My question - Is it crucial that I upgrade to cl14 3200 ram, such as the G.SKILL TridentZ? I've been told, and read multiple times that cl14 ram is the best ram for ryzen cpu's. I've also been told that 2x8 is better for ryzen than 4x4. I am running this ram at 2933 stable.

Patriot Memory 8 GB PC4 – 24000 is the better deal of the three. Cheapest and the Fastest.

u/ryguy867 · 1 pointr/buildapc
  1. You don’t have to buy a registered version of windows (getting you back on budget) and could instead download it from Microsoft’s website onto a usb drive (must be at least 8gb) and use that to install windows. Here’s a good video explaining how to do it.
  2. Dual channel ram is much faster than single channel, and here’s a pack for about the same price as the one you found.
  3. You need to put your os on a ssd or else it will take minutes to boot. Here’s one for $20 that should suffice.
  4. The 590 is basically a rebooted 580 , and if you want to save a few bucks the 580 is only a little worse than the 590.
u/ne_wow · 1 pointr/GamingPCBuildHelp

You could get this if you just want to get 8gb
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gwW6CbRQ25X68

Or if you're fine with spending 80 more dollars definitely get the Corsair vengeance LPX 16gb

u/morales52904 · 1 pointr/buildapc

hows this

u/Mothimania · 1 pointr/buildapc

Like others have said, I would go for some faster RAM. This one is what I ended up getting for my build. I'm actually running the same MOBO and CPU as you, with an MSI 1050 TI. It's been working great for me. But again, as others have also said, it's not a huge deal and as long as your kid isn't planning on running super intensive stuff then 2400 should be more than fast enough. Nice build!

u/FiftyShadesOfGraves · 1 pointr/buildapc

what do you think about https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0157UPYZ8/?tag=pcpapi-20 ?


also for overclocking would i need to buy additional fans?

u/Stasky-X · 1 pointr/buildapc

So adding this as RAM would work? Better than the one I mentioned on my first comment?

I might wait on the CPU upgrade since it is more expensive, but I could buy RAM for now and see how it goes.

Also, how does this RAM compare to the one before? Is it worth the difference in price?

u/Christopho · 1 pointr/buildapc

I was wondering if there's any discernible difference between this RAM kit and this RAM kit? I'm having trouble what to search to get proper benchmarks between the two, so I wouldn't mind if you just linked a review that covers it if that's what you prefer.

I initially went for the Elite series (first link) for $60 but was later told by the vendor that they wouldn't be able to sell it to me anymore. However, what they could do is give me the non-Elite series (second link) for the same price. It was a spur of the moment thing and I figured I wouldn't be able to sit on it so I just accepted it.

Either way, I feel like $60 for 8 GB DDR4 3000 RAM is pretty good with the prices right now. I just want to know if it was a 1:1 trade essentially or if I was downgraded significantly. If it matters, I'll be using it with the Ryzen 3 1200 and Asus B350-F Strix mobo.

Any general thoughts about the RAM would be welcome as well.

u/rowanhopkins · 1 pointr/buildapc

u/itsnotabouttherug · 1 pointr/buildapc

i am able to change settings in bios and computer does not crash but nothing actually changes.

the corsair sticks that i purchased are not on the asrock qvl list for the ab350m pro 4 so i just ordered new sticks off amazon - patriot 3000 (2x4gb) - which are on the qvl list

i dropped down to 8gb but i don't think it will be a problem...and i'm really happy that it will save me ~$100.

i should get the memory today, so i'll report back with the speeds.

I'm going to be putting together my first pc at the end of this year. A friend of mine who knows of the subject has recomended me a setup according to what I told him I'd like to have. Here's what I'm going to be getting Processor (he told it'd be fine with this even if without buying a gpu) , Motherboard , RAM cards , Power supply

When I asked him what should I get, I told him I'd like to be able to play gta 5 and pubg, while not spending way too much. He came up with this, how is it?

Btw I'd like to learn about it so can anyone link some videos on how to how and what is what? I've merely a general idea if not less of what I'm getting into so it'd be fine to learn a bit.

u/AppleSeedsHaveCyanid · 1 pointr/buildapc

A stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (1x8GB) seems good. Since it's one stick, you can easily upgrade to 16GB if you need to.

u/jlane27 · 1 pointr/buildapc
u/Young_Amini_Man · 1 pointr/buildapc

Is there any issue with getting one stick of DRAM and one of SDRAM? I have this in my rig, and I’m looking to add another stick, and was looking at this. Will there be any issues?

Both are DDR4 2400 and 288pin, both 1.2V, but difference latency, 15 v 16. Is the latency difference an issue? Is there any other issue with this?

Edit: since I’m 97% sure the different latency is an issue, can anyone explain why this stick is cheaper than most? Most ram I’m seeing is around $65 for 8gb with these specs, but this one is $50 and it doesn’t look like it’s ok sale or anything. Is there any reason I should avoid it or is it just a good deal?

u/Canaadriane · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hi, So I built my current rig back in April 2017 and thought I'd upgrade this black friday but I dont know what to upgrade. I'm running:

​

Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Case

​

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard

​

Processor: Intel 3.70 GHz Core i3-6100 3M

​

Graphics card: GIGABYTE Geforce GTX 1050 2GB

​

RAM: 1 stick of Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 Dram

​

Power Supply: EVGA 430 W1

​

Storage: WD Blue 1TB Sata Hard Drive

​

This is the only PC I've ever built and I've never upgraded before. I would like to upgrade my CPU because its an i3 and I know its getting outdated but I dont know if thats the only thing needing an upgrade. I usually get 150+ frames on Counter-Strike and around 120fps on Overwatch but these are all on low settings. However I just recently bought BO4 and can barely run at 60 fps at low. Any advice as to what processor I need to upgrade to?

​

u/Praelior0 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm buying my stepdaughter the bare bones of a new PC for Christmas and it's been a few years since I built myself. Please can I have a sanity check and/or advice on these parts?

  • AMD Ryzen 5 2600 £150

  • ASRock A320M Pro4 £55

  • Corsair Vengeance 1x8GB DDR4 £57

    I'm on a strict budget and this is basically the most I can spend. Is it all compatible? Any ways to improve it without spending more or keep it the same and spend less? (She has a decent if slightly old GPU and PSU already, enough to keep her going till her birthday)

    Thanks all!

    e: Primarily for gaming/streaming, coz anything that works for that will also be fine for her college work/Netflix.

    e again: Not sure how to fix the formatting for the top link, but it still takes you to the right product page.

    e the third: I picked that mobo coz it was the cheapest I could find for that socket with 4 RAM slots in case she wants more in future, and she won't be overclocking.

I want to know wich is better, this RAM or this RAM. I know this is probably a stupid question but i dont know much about computer parts and the way i usually tell the difference between processors and graphics cards is by looking at the number in the name.

Corsair vengeance: CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 (PC4-19200) Memory Kit - Black (CMK8GX4M1A2400C16) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ARHBBPS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.o3QBbDQG520B

u/OlderBuilder · 1 pointr/buildapc

I too think that's a tad expensive, when you can get Corsair either from Amazon.ca or newegg.ca for cheaper. If your budget can withstand it, look at the 16GB sets.

u/IanPPK · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

An i5 6400 at $188, MSI H110m PRO-VD plus at $51, and a Corsair Vengeance 8GB stick at $57 (all items may include tax) will be just within reach if you are able to spend a little bit more. They should give decent performance with the 960 2GB as well as offer a decent upgrade path. To add, the 6000 series, while one generation behind, is almost the same chip as the 7000 series equivalents, so you save money and get almost the same performance.

You could also go with an i3 6100 at ~$100 ($85 savings), but that makes for a more expensive upgrade path since it's a dual core single thread CPU, or you can get an i5 6500 for a little more than the 6400.

1 stick of 8GB ram leaves you room for another stick for 16GB instead of a 16GB kit down the road with 2x4GB should you want more (get the same one if you care about dual channel). These items should all have prime shipping at the prices I listed.

The only caveat to a motherboard upgrade is that Windows will deactivate as it affiliates with motherboards, but you shouldn't feel guilty for using a tool to reactivate in this case. MS support might even give you another through chat if you want to go that route.

Gimme a sec and I'll link to Amazon my initial recommendations.


Intel Boxed Core I5-6400 FC-LGA14C 2.70 Ghz 6 M Processor Cache 4 LGA 1151 BX80662I56400 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010T6CG7E Go to the price list and there should be a prime seller with 100% at $183.

MSI Computer DIMM LGA 1151 Motherboards H110M PRO-VD PLUS https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HTEA0HC the seller at this page should be the best deal atm.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 Memory Kit, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ARHBBPS This is probably around the cheapest 8GB DDR4 that can be had at the moment. You can shop around for better prices though.

u/jackattack99 · 1 pointr/buildapc

I'm confused -- From my understanding the CPU just needs to be of the same socket type, which the i9-9700k is.

Also, here is the ram I have. It says 2400mhz on the site, but looking at AIDA64 Extreme, it says it's only 1200 MHz?

u/ericjayy · 1 pointr/gamingpc

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMK8GX4M1A2400C16-Vengeance-Performance-Desktop/dp/B01ARHBBPS should be good. It’s the same speed and latency so there should be no problem

Motherboard: Gigabyte z370 HD3 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0762V6Y7Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB DDR4 DRAM 2400 MHz - 2 cards in slots 2 and 4 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ARHBBPS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

So the background for "setting up the pc"

My brother initially built this computer last year for video editing. Most of the stuff was already in there, but it didn't have a graphics card and he took the SSD. He no longer uses it, and so I bought a Samsung 860 EVO SSD and the MSI 1660 TI graphics card, and installed windows on it. I just called him to try to answer some of these questions and stumbled upon something that may be important. He had initially built it as a "Hackintosh" so that he could run whatever the apple video editing software is. He said that it "shouldn't be an issue" with windows, but told me that "hyperthreading is disabled in the BIOS because apple doesn't like that."

I have a loose grasp on hyperthreading and would assume that it's not my limiting factor being that the CPU doesn't max out when playing, but that's the situation.

The way I installed windows was through the windows installation tool on the microsoft website via a flash drive.

I downloaded the MSI program to get the driver for the video card, and manually installed the driver for the wifi/bluetooth card that I installed, but other than that I don't recall manually installing anything else. When I plugged in the VR headset, windows VR Portal automatically updated some things, and I assumed it was fine.

Monitor is some old cheap dell monitor we had lying around. Definitely not a high end gaming display of any sort.

I didn't see any "adaptive quality" or similar things in the settings, but I did turn the detail and other graphics settings down to "low," it was initially on "ultra," and If it made a difference it wasn't very much.

I don't know how to tell if I'm on the latest WMR build, but I just installed windows and then the headset a couple days ago, so I'd assume the auto update did it?

I'm not sure how to check that I'm outputting on the video card. I know for sure that the VR is plugged into the graphics card, but I have a feeling it's more complicated than that. A quick google search didn't help, but I'll look a bit more and try to find out as soon as I post this.

I really appreciate the help.

edit: On second thought I do think I downloaded the "chipset" drivers for the motherboard from the gigabyte website.

when you say "install drivers for everything" (I'm assuming that I'm going to need to do this) What exactly is "everything"...? Does that mean like the big parts like GPU, RAM, etc? Or is there some program that I need to literally search for drivers for everything?

Thats a total of: $859. That still leaves you with some room for your case and a hard drive or a solid state drive. If you have Prime, you'll get everything in two days for free (Student Prime, Trial). Dont forget the CPU FAN! Coolmaster has the 212 for $27 or so!

EDIT: I had posted it as a comment to your post again instead of as a comment to you reply, but I fixed it hopefully before people saw it!

how would this ram be for this build? looking to upgrade mine.

Ram: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/ref=twister_B01M33CGCY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/akahan41/saved/

Seems like a solid deal for white ram and need to upgrade my ram since i just got the 2600x

u/LieutenantDannnnn · 1 pointr/buildapc

So, I was actually thinking of swapping the Dominators in my build for these: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-16GB-DDR4-Systems/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1472823115&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+ddr4+white

They would match the build in white and are a bit less expensive.

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit – White (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16W) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_YXi3AbM8C3SNM

I haven't tried tightening the timings yet with them, only had them for about 3 weeks though they've given me zero issues. I just set the voltage to 1.35v and enabled XMP 1. They booted up first try and then I went back and changed the command rate to 1t. They've been singing along without failure. 👍

Everything is running so smoothly. Games are great. Daily computing is fast.

u/Broadbanned · 1 pointr/buildapc

These are on MSI's QVL, and are also what I ordered. I am using their Mortar Arctic Micro-ATX board though. But they are Samsung die, so you shouldn't really have any problem setting XMP for auto 3200Mhz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EI5ZRQY/

What board did you pick?

Hey, I did some more searching around, and I wanted to know if using this Motherboard
with these RAM cards and the 7700k with the liquid cooler you recommended would be a good decision. Is it a solid selection of parts, or am I overpaying for something.

u/TheScorpy · 1 pointr/buildapc

I decided to go for these RAM, they seem to be the best in comparison price/ performance:

Link: Amazon.de

​

Now just the motherboard. I am still unsure about which to choose. Which one would you choose?

Also I am wondering, Black Friday is in less than 2 weeks. Is there a chance of getting something on sale?
