Jxhn Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I've been using a Mac for the past few years and intend on joining the PC hamster race. Any suggestions on a build? Also, does it matter what I do on it or do I need specific parts for specific things I do on the computer?

Jxhn Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Whats your budget? And it depends, do you want it for gaming, productivity, or both Budget is probably around $1,500 and it'll be for gaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jxhn Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b6TYFd there you go, like 10 over. In the case that I can go over the budget, what should I change?

SupaNipplez Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 In the case that I can go over the budget, what should I change? Same here? If you really want to change something, then change GPU, everything else you don't need to change, but that 1070 will run any game just fine, no need to go over budget in my opinion. Also supa the H100i V2 is way unnecessary for that build and requires separate parts as that motherboard is older. an educational video about AIO water coolingsimple logic, fit the biggest radiator you can in your case. a cooler cpu is a happy cpu and if you were to change anything, on the AMD build go up to a ryzen 7 1700 CPU and on the Intel get a better mobo, (as fortis pointed out), like a msi z270 m3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaNipplez Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Simple logic, if you don't need that big of a radiator to cool your CPU, then don't get it. Don't listen to Supa he's a nerd when it comes to PC building, with the budget you have and the games that are out now (including higher end games) your CPU won't need that big of a radiator. Dont listen to me listen to our based god Linus . that one fan radiators gonna be loud af, and hotter than having a dual fan radiator fortis is fat shaming radiators Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupaNipplez Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I have that in my build, I play a lot of games, I dont even know my computer is turned on thats how quiet it is, plus looking at my temps, it stays very cool. So don't listen to Supa, he's a nerd i can make it quieter and cooler for u bb also this is an unlocked cpu so he better be ocing that bitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kv526 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) My parts recommendation. This is not meant for CPU or GPU overclocking, however, you can overclock your memory to 3200mhz. Due to Ryzen's Infinity Fabric; it highly benefits from high-frequency memory. After putting your computer together, you can set the timings and voltages inside the BIOS for operating at 3200mhz. I recommend spending all of the money you can on a single SSD over a small SSD + large HDD. MicroATX is small, clean, and easy to keep tidy. It's the most common motherboard size. Modular PSU will help keep the inside of your windowed case looking neat. Make sure you check every available retailer for the product you've selected, sometimes pcpartpicker isn't 100% up-to-date with prices and availability. Make sure that your product ships at a reasonable amount of time (5-7 business days) if doing free shipping. Otherwise pay the cheapest shipping you want, or pay to have it ship faster.

Jxhn Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) I just got recomended this. How does it look? Edit: BTW what should I get in terms of VR? Edited July 25, 2017 by JHnY HaYZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porkcow Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I just got recomended this. How does it look? Edit: BTW what should I get in terms of VR? That looks like a good build too, and for vr are you asking which headset you should get? There's really only two options, the Oculus rift and the HTC Vive. The rift just dropped in price recently if I remember correctly and it's pretty neat, you can play while sitting in place. The Vive is more emersive in that you can use your whole room to move around and play the games but it costs more of course. They both use the same type of screen in the headset with the same resolution so it kinda just comes down to the price and experience that you want to have. VR though is still in early stages and it kinda looks like there won't be much changed for a long time. It's more of just a gimmick like the whole 3d gaming that was the craze some years back.

I was thinking of a setup including this. That way, I won't have to use my whole room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well unless you're living in an arcade or shopping mall I don't believe you can actually get one of those currently... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
