So it's that time of year again, Christmas is coming and a new pc is required.
Nothing to upgrade this time it's all new. Got monitor and all other bits
£800 budget, afew preferences if it's possible but this is about getting the best performance for cash. I'm after 3060Ti or 3060 and a...
Iv had a budget increase to 800 as I told him of these issues and sold him on the idea of a ryzen 5 being a better idea.
Iv looked at changing the mobo as this one specced doesn't support argb for the case lighting it seems? Something I'm sure will be important to a younger kid. Also the ssd...
Simple as title says. Iv been asked to build a computer been given a budget of £700 for machine for a friend. Gaming is what it will be used for and ideally wants to be able to all be bought and built shortly in time for Christmas.
Tower only, Excluding operating system
RGB fans welcome as its...
I got to what i hope is the "end" of my mental health treatment and what finally did it for me was a combination of Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy and Cognitive behavioural therapy and medication.
Im no longer on medications as i feel worse on them. Whilst i still suffer awfully with...
Sounds a tad like our place with the manmagers being 'mental health first-aiders' but they are the same ones who ignore the very training for targets. Sadly your only a number at a job never forget this fact, If you left you would be replaced and nobody would remember you in weeks. Take care of...
Not actually bad for a Super Flower! Seems i can Turn the RGB off as its digitally addressable.
Is there a modern psu calculator out there now?
Ryzen 3600, SSD, SSD, HDD, 6 Fans, Aio cooler and a 970GTX which ill likely change to another midrange next year.
I'll keep hold for a while longer then :)
I'll check into the psu a little more. I see manufacturers don't seem to offer a solid warranty as they used to. Mine had 5 year warranty and was £75 or so. For that price band now I can't find much
Got my upgrade thanks for the advice folk!
Went for MSI B550 Mortar Mag
Ryzen 3600
Hyper x fury 3200mhz 16gb
Looking for a card which is a worthwhile upgrade over a 970 now without breaking the bank. Also how long do PSU Units last for? Mines 9 years old now and still rocking along
Iv got some worktop offcut from a breakfast bar and debated doing just this with it. Is it heavy to wheel around or fairly easy? Iv got a long garage with bench vices already but often not enough space behind the vice or infront for awkward bits
Iv had a look at B550 and it doesn't really show much in terms of it being an upgrade unless iv missed it. Its incompatible with ryzen 1 and 2 gen? Does this mean iv got to get a newer cpu also or will the one you specced work?
That's within my budget. I hoped to spend £400 or less as a semi upgrade to keep me going for now. All isn't lost as the older Intel gear will be passed onto family who are running even older gear than me
Is the little amount of money more between ryzen 3 and 5 worth it?
Also can a bracket for the old processor still be had for a H100i? A new cooler adds another 70-120 on the price for something iv already got seems a harsh reality. I'll post in the Cs forums also and check that one
Hi all long time since iv done this.
Current build is
4690k
16gb ddr3
H100i cooler (keep if I can get a new bracket to fit newer processors)
1tb ssd (keep)
2tb sshd storage drive (keep)
Nvidia 970 (unsure on this)
Phanteks matx case (keep)
Cooler master 600w psu (keep if possible)
So my...
If i hadnt paid for a years subscription already id be cancelling. A months delivery isnt okay. I can understand delays. Even just allow amazon day delivieres only once a week to cut down on runs for couriers etc.
