**Official PC rig Pics/Specs/Mods thread PART V ** GOAT PC Master Race Checking In!**

AC Origins is a CPU intensive game where processor matters a bunch

take a look at this benchmark for examples on how much the processor impacts fps with the same 1080ti gpu

which is likely the reason why the i7 2600 is running the game better than your fx-8320 despite the 1050ti vs 1060

Thanks for the insight! Looks like it goes hand in hand regardless of GPU like you said. Do you propose that I drop the 1060 into the i7?
I figured I'll do that then start over with other rig.

Also, If I were to go for a good i5 mated with a good MOBO and memory, Can anyone recommend a setup in a budget?

It's actually better to go AMD for a budget build.
Ryzen 2600 + B450 + 8/16gb DDR4.

Or if you would like it even cheaper you can go for Ryzen 2400G.

A X470 board was even cheaper than an ok B450 board.
Of course this can vary depending on where you buy it.
(I went from i5 3570K @ 4.5GHz to a Ryzen 2600X and it was an insane difference.)

yes, it will be your best setup for gaming

post your budget for a new build lot of people here can help you. Memory prices have fallen back down so thats a good thing for new builds today

Anyone ever do an ITX build? looking for recommendations on a case - would prefer AIO rather than aircool, but that can get iffy with such small cases. Need it to be beast as possible - 3k budget.

AIO on just the CPU or both CPU and GPU?

[freeburn]

I did a micro build last year. Idk full itx just didn't offer the stuff I wanted. Pretty happy with my mitx but my gpu gets hot af with the overclock. Mitx still let me use a corsair h100i for the cpu. Used the corsair air 240 case.

[PositiveCrew]

Everything maxed I am running around minimum 100 fps to 135 in training mode.
Ryzen 2600X and GTX1080.

I can't figure out what's going on.

I have absolute lowest settings and can't get above 50 FPS

phuck it. I got a new credit card I have to spend $4k on anyways. time for a new PC bois

Damn, For that price of an upgrade of a build, I think I'll mate those with the 1060 and PSU I already have and that'll do for a good while at least! Thanks a lot for the help!

yes, it will be your best setup for gaming

Thanks a lot for the insight! The budget isn't much to be honest but MrJensenn nailed it with the suggested affordable upgrade that would be right up my alley if I wanted to add to the rig I correctly have. And I think I'll go that route and drop the 1060 in the i7 rig until the upgrades are complete.


Thanks again guys!

Just CPU. From what I've seen FE edition GPUs are best because they're rear venting

For my ITX build I used a Phanteks Evolv Shift case, with a "blower style" RTX 2070 (not founder's edition, but similar fan design) to help exhaust heat out the top of the case (GPU mounts vertically in that case).

I do have an AIO 120mm for the CPU in it. That case is what I'd consider intermediate to advanced to build in though.. routing the wiring can be somewhat convoluted. Looks amazing when done though. I used a DeepCool "Captain" RGB 120mm AIO for my Ryzen 5 2600. Does a great job.

Very nice!! My only issue is this will go on a medical cart. So I need a short/wide type enclosure rather than a skinny tall case to keep the center of gravity low so it doesn't topple when bumped etc.

somebody aware me on these korean monitors. how much cheaper are they and how much would you notice the difference? also best place to buy them? want to upgrade from 60hz to 144hz but cant justify spending that much on a monitor when im only gaming 2-3 days a week.

[matthew2474]

Well damn...monitor is DOA ..won't even turn on

[InstantLoser]

Did you try plugging it in?

Wtf.... I thought monitors take batteries...looking for a monitor PSU now.

back in the day, they were the GOAT.

now they're still just as good, but prices have risen and availability is limited, so they're not as clear cut of winners

eBay always has been and will be the best place to buy them

post your computer specs, what you use it for (gaming, youtube, rendering, etc), and a budget for a monitor and I'll throw some suggestions

Got a 8600k gtx 970 which needs a upgrade and 8gb ram. While im here someone reccomend me a gpu which isnt gonna cost a arm and a leg but something better than the 970?

RTX 2060 is probably a good option. $350.

someone pls rep this man^

I accidentally negged cus I'm a potato

After moving several times over the past few years I’ve tried to be as space conscious as possible. Ended up with a surface pro 4, but need more. Is it possible to build something legit that is relatively compact?

The new one suggested to me earlier. Took it directly to my local best buy and they tested it experienced the same result and ordered me a new one. Will be available next Friday.

hell yeah brother, some of the ridiculous people build entire computers inside briefcases.

You know what though man. Since I started PC building like 6-7 years ago, I've never recieved a DOA part. This was my first ever. I was even expecting my Asus 2070 Rog Strix to come ****ed up because I read a lot of people had recieved faulty ones but it was fine.

So I can't be to upset. My luck, paradoxically enough, is good when it comes to PC parts .

I feel that. I've had excellent PC buying experiences until these latest crappy Pixio monitors came into the picture

anyways, debating going back to SLI.... was not impressed with my SLI 970s about 3 years ago, but I can get 2 1080tis cheaper than a single 2080ti... and am thinking it might be worth trying

it seems like Apex and Fortnite both have some issues with utilizing SLI tho and I'm not sure if I want that headache

[INeedABetterOne]

Yeah i made this thread recently

https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showt...hp?t=176786871

But i hope y'all can understand where i was coming from...

So anyways anyone here fw laptops?!?!?! [Past experiences/any alternatives to consider]

Ideally something lightweight that doesn't attract too much attention to carry on the go

Not fluent in specs and such but i wouldn't mind something that can at least do 60fps/1080p w/o overheating to play games every now and then

[PositiveCrew]

SLI master race incoming



guy sold me 2 for $1,125.00 shipped

thinking I'll go with the Corsair 750D airflow edition case... i7-9700k... 32gb ddr4 3200 ram or something

dunno I'll post it when we go

if anyone has suggestions for good airflow cases or setups, please let me know. I've been reading about bottom and side panel fans, and ones where people mount the PSUs up top. considering all options right now.

also if anyone knows of a good MOBO to space out 2.5 slot cards, that'd be good too since I know air cooled SLI 1080tis are gonna get super hot

[newcomb12]

My current setup is a 8600k with a 1070ti. I play on a 1440p 144hz monitor. Would it be worth it to upgrade to a 1080ti?
