Looking to upgrade cpu, ram, and motherboard.
Elardoven replied to Elardoven's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My bad for not putting price in original post. I am looking at spending around 500 USD for the upgrade. The power supply I am using is here : https://pcpartpicker.com/product/g63RsY/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr -
Hello! Currently I have a i7 4790k with an RTX2080, but I am looking to upgrade the cpu. To upgrade my cpu I am going to have to upgrade my ram and motherboard also, as the i7 I have uses the LGA1150 socket. I was wondering what cpu, motherboard and ram you would recommend. For resolution and refresh rate, I play at 1440p 165hz. Also, after upgrading, would a 600w power supply suffice? Or do I need to upgrade that? Thanks!

A few weeks ago, I got a few recommendations for a $700-$800 build for a gaming pc, as a friend of mine is looking to get into pc gaming. Here is the thread: Another friend of mine upgraded his computer recently and has been looking to sell some of the parts of his old one. He's looking to sell an i5-4460, an MSI Z97 motherboard, an NZXT S340 case, 8gb of ddr3 1600 ram, and an R9 390 for $450. Would it be better to purchase entirely new parts, or to buy these parts for $450 and then finish that computer? My friend has no problem on the parts being used, just wondering what the better deal is. Thanks!

Hello! It's been a while since I've last put a parts list together, and I'm a bit behind on all the new stuff that has come out. I'm looking for a build that will be used primarily for gaming, somewhere in the 700-800 USD price range. This is for a friend of mine that wants to get into pc gaming, so he does not have any of the components/peripherals needed. If you all could give me some pointers, that'd be great.

VR ready gaming build, $1400-$1600
Elardoven replied to Elardoven's topic in New Builds and Planning
He said he would rather have the 144hz than 4k, but that is an interesting take. -
It's been a while since I've been here, or looked at the new tech stuff in general, so I'm a bit out of the loop on this one. This is for a friend that wants to build a computer he can play VR on, along with regular games. He is going to need a monitor and a keyboard, he already has a mouse and headset. He lives in the US, his budget is $1400-$1600, as stated in the title. My questions would be, how much ram would he need? Is 16gb overkill for VR? I also don't know anything about the new AMD Cpu's and graphics cards, so I just recommended the ones in the build below. As for storage, he is planning to buy a hard drive in the future, once he needs it.

I need a $200-$300 Facebook machine for friend of mine. I was wondering what you all would recommend. He won't be doing anything more intense than web browsing.

@vorticalbox How would I combine the audio then?
-
@Wolther I'm trying to do that so I can share audio between my computer and console for discord/music, and be able to swap between the console/computer easily without having to change inputs.
-
I'm not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to ask you all. I'd like to know if I can input video and audio from something like a PS4 into my computer and run it into a window on my computer. Any ideas?
-
Just making sure that this monitor would be what to buy for the the specs. Wanted to run it through you all before cashing out on it. I have a 980ti, so I should be able to take advantage of it. Link: https://www.amazon.com/PG279Q-2560x1440-G-SYNC-Gaming-Monitor/dp/B017EVR2VM?th=1

Hehe, I should have specified. It is Ikea's shipping that is so expensive to my area, so I can't get any of their products.
-
I'm looking for recommendations for a computer desk about the size of this. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10251352/ I would just buy that, if it weren't for the ridiculous shipping prices to my area. It needs to have adjustable height, and I don't need a tray or anything extra, just the desk. Thanks!

Looking for Laptop to stream music
Elardoven replied to Elardoven's topic in Laptops and Pre-Built Systems
He is putting it in a store, so he can't leave his phone there all the time. -
A friend of mine needs a laptop but all he needs to do on it is stream music. So I was wondering what the cheapest option without the thing being a piece of junk would be. I'm assuming a chromebook would work here fine too.
