  1. Forgot to mention that i'm also building a PC for a friend, which agreed to "buy" my GPU for that price, as they go for this price in my country.
  2. Hello everyone, i currently have a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming(paid 200eur for it - used). I am currently working on a build for a friend, and have a chance to get a KFA2 GTX 1070 Ti EX for basically the same price(200eur). Do these cards perform well? Is the upgrade a good choice for a system with my specs? Will the PSU be fine with this GPU(under load - currently - it makes a slight buzzing sound)? Also, how compatible is the CPU with this GPU - shouldn't be bottlenecked? The 'more challenging' games that i play, are GTA V and Fortnite - getting FPS drops on both(not on max settings). Specs: CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming 8G MOBO: MSI B450 Gaming Plus RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz(Vengeance LPX) SSD1: M.2 NVMe 256gb Silicon Power SSD2: HyperX Savage 240GB PSU: Corsair CX650M Case: NZXT S340 Thanks for all the replies, also greetings from Slovenia!
  3. Yeah sounds about right but i already got 1 stick of vengeance lpx 3000mhz.. i bought it because i thought it was fairly cheap and i just wanted to get at least 1 new part so i actually commit to buying the whole thing, because i am saying i will buy a new pc for over 6 months and never had the money. This was the lowest cost part but still something to get me started and get my motivation up
  4. From slovenia, and i was already at an end with the tomahawk at ~100€.. want to spend as little as i can
  5. Hello, I am planning to upgrade my rig, and yes, i have checked a lot of forums to see what was my best option but i am still unsure. I am currently deciding between: MSI B450 Tomahawk 99€ MSI B450 Gaming Plus 91,9€ Asus Prime B450 Plus 89,5€ I have read that the Tomahawk is the best of all but i want to make sure it will all fit and is it maybe even overkill. Current setup: i5 2400 MSI H61M-P31/W8 2x4GB DDR3 Ballistix 1866 MHz Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1060 3GB 2x SSD NZXT S340 Case Planned setup: Ryzen 5 2600 <Insert motherboard here> 1x8GB DDR4 Vengeance 3000 MHz Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 1060 3GB 2x SSD NZXT S340 Case I know Ryzen benefits from dual channel and i plan to add another stick in the future(yes i know im dumb, why didnt i get 2x4 and later another 2x4). Will i be bottlenecked by anything or is it fairly balanced? Thanks for any pointers :)
  6. i was more worried about the 20's but yeah.. i got this one because the price dropped so much. i got it for 35€ + shipping off of amazon..
  7. Yeah but the module is also not on the board's QVM.. does that matter? I've read it usually still works if its ~same frequency but the just dont test everything. Also that then means if i will be adding another stick, it should have the same timings?
  8. Hello, The module i am talking about: Vengeance LPX (1x8GB) CMK8GX4M1D3000C16 3000MHz, 16-20-20-38 (Planned to run Single channel for a while) Will it run with a Ryzen 5 2600 and ASUS PRIME B450 PLUS? I have done quite a lot of reading on these things and i am still not sure if i bought "normal RAM". I am just weirded out by the timings, that are 16-20-20-38. In all of my researching and reading, i've never spotted any of the RAM's timings be 20 or higher. Is this just me being paranoid or do i have to return it? Thanks for literally any answer/consolation.
  9. Well, if you do remember, please let me know.. Still struggling at low speeds.
  10. Update: Swapping SATA to AHCI mode did not help. Still crying in 1mb/s.
  11. Could it be that the SATA is on IDE mode and not AHCI mode?
  12. Okay, just resetting the CMOS did not help. Swapping back to stable(v3.6) BIOS and then clearing again also did not help. I have also tried disabling "Legacy support" as i've read it might affect the performance, but did not help as well. About the Linux: can i create a VM in VirtualBox? Or would it be necessary to do a dual-boot/on the other ssd?
