    NeelanCruzz reacted to kirashi in Add Funds to use for Apple Music Subscription   
    AFAIK subscriptions require a valid payment method on file, and cannot use iTunes credits or funds. You might want to check with your bank to see if they're blocking the authorization; if not, then it's on Apple's end or the CC info was entered incorrectly on your account.

    I would concur as I don't see that model of RAM on the QVL

    Do you have any other RAM you could try?

    NeelanCruzz got a reaction from Razor Blade in Ryzen Build won't post   
    UPDATE:
    It turns out that the mobo was at fault, gave the mobo in the service center and got it back in 5 days.
    Installed everything else and the computer works fine, except I cannot hear anything from my front and rear panel audio jack, but I'm getting audio from my monitor headphone jack, no sounds from monitor speakers as well.
    Thank you.

    I wouldn't recommend the SSD Plus. Its the worse on the market.
     
     
    Anyways:
    Get the Crucial MX300 or a SKHynix 480GB SL308

    I have a 1440p and a 1080p monitor. If I had to choose 1440p 60hz or 1080p 144hz, I would choose 144hz in a heart beat, that's just my opinion, everyone is different. 1440p wasn't that much of an image upgrade for me to care for it that much. 144hz is really noticeable playing FPS games. 60hz is perfectly fine though.

    Honestly yes. Some people may say it's not worth it, but you 100% will notice the difference. A good monitor is key in a good setup. No matter how much money you throw at your PC your monitor is the one that actually creates the computer experience.

    I'd personally cut the SSD to around 240GB and use a locked i7 with a cheaper motherboard and the stock cooler. Then you'd have the budget for a 1080, which is 22% faster than the 1070 at 1440p. Long gone are the days when 70 series cards weren't very cut down from the 80 series cards. In Pascal the 80 series stomps all over the 70 series. I just don't see the appeal of the GTX 1070 now with the far superior GTX 1080 selling for only $60-$100 more.

    NeelanCruzz reacted to Megah3rtz in How much storage will I need for games?   
    Keep the 480gb SSD, the sandisk is a good choice. The majority of your games go on the HDD, while the games with long loading times or programs you need to be quick like photo/video editing go on the SSD. This is entirely preference. You can choose whatever you want to go on each, though it adds up quickly so depending on the size of your library (or soon to be, since it's your first PC) you might want to consider a 2tb HDD. 
     
    I recommend a 2tb drive for the sake of peace of mind. Games like DOOM or GTA5 can be especially large, 50-80gb. Most AAA titles will be atleast 20gb or greater. 
  11. Agree
    NeelanCruzz reacted to S7117 in First time Builder ,want to double check.   
    Looks good to me. Most SSD's will work fine for many years, so plenty of time... I wouldn't worry too much. If you want a bit more read/write speed you could go with the samung evo drive for about $20 more, but that's just me.

    Yeah, it is. IMHO, if you want to go ahead and use a standard refresh monitor for now; nothing wrong with that. However, to maximize your investment in your PC, a 144 hz monitor will provide you with that.

    At least a 1tb HDD along side the ssd boot.... many games won't benefit that much from the ssd speed

    Get rid of that PSU and get a EVGA 550 GS/G2 instead. The NEX series are mediocre at best.
     
    I'd also prioritise getting an IPS monitor rather than a TN one.

    Bah, just fanboy garbage.
    Gotta look at the actual performance of the parts, and when you do that the 390 comes out just ahead of the 970 across the board, and significantly better at higher than 1080p resolutions.

    Say what you want but I'm recommending AMD. I did include the peripherals and the monitor and didn't just tack on some $25 combo.
     
    If $15 means that much just lower the RAM to 8GB and he'll be fine.
