I would especially opt in to buying a new/openbox/used 1080p60hz PLS monitor in ebay, I got one for $68.70 and it overclocks to 80-85hz pretty easily.

600$ with all peripherals included? You'll be pretty restricted, and should stick to buying used parts

The b250 series boards arent supposed to be able to overclock if I recall correctly. You need a z270 board.

1 sample from the 7850.

200hz ?

I would recommend against that board, it's pretty dogshit if I understand correctly. As well I would get an NVME + an SSD, since the NVME is cheaper and faster. Or a NVME + HDD Combo. And I would recommend a 5700XT over the VII.

My NH-D14 was running 2 noctua(obviously) fans at 1000rpm and was pretty close to my H100i v2 when I had it. But it was a bitch to install and unless you get a coverplate its gonna look ugly.

I would've probably gone with air coolers if were going for longevity. I've owned 2 corsair AIO's and both broke within 1-2 years.

You could easily put a HDD in for more storage for dirt cheap, and we can easily shuffle some components around if you need peripherals (i.e. cut back on a few things to save money for monitor, etc.)

I think the R5 1600AF deserved a mention at 85$.
2666 or maybe 2800 should be a reasonable memory speed. there is plenty of cheap 2666 sticks

LN2 overclocking the cheapest cpu

Pretty much all manufacturers use the same chips from the same 3 companies. The odd one out is OLOy, which has been sketchy, some users got DOA units and OLOy left them in the dirt as far as warranty. Any other manufac should be fine.

If you can find a Lite-on EP2 1TB for sub $80, I'd probably get one of those, I'm using one right now. 256gb toshiba MLC chips, PLP, 2300MB/s reads, 940MB/s writes, not the fastest but definitely not bad.

Shit doesnt break as easy as you think. (Exception: CPU/Motherboard pins)
Honestly, I'd probably troll my friends irl and say they're probably going to break something if they touch it the wrong way.

Thanks for explaining this every single time someone mentions bottleneck, but just gonna add that its almost impossible to have a colloquial error over text, but you've somehow managed. at 900-1080p in most games, the 2700x will not allow the 2070 to run at 100% because it can't keep up. We all know thats what he meant. I hope..

Yeah that's cause windows 10 actually told you about all the stuff they take which made some people mistakenly think they hadn't been taking it already.
 
 
You shouldn't do the upgrade process, that will likely break your OS sooner or later.
Just do a clean install.
If you have windows 7 right now you can use a key finder to get your windows 7 key and activate windows 10 with it.

It's always the front panel connections.

Looking for a 1080 Ti, but I have bigger priorities atm.

Like how PhysX was handled, except for PhysX isnt used much anymore.

Any cpu that can handle 1080p144 can probably handle 1440p144 just fine, it just depends on gpu. My 1080 can handle most games at 120-144+ fps at medium-high settings.

Depends on software you use for it

That's arguable. You could make games run on shitty GPUs by turning down the graphical settings (even back to PS1 era graphics if you wish so), but there's not that much you could do if the CPU isn't good, even tho the 7500 should be better than that
 
what games?
 
I'd argue that the performance gap between the two GPUs aren't worth it for the long run, I'd look for 1070ti or Vega 56 in the used market.

Lets just skimp over the fact that most encoders arent super efficient after 16 threads, and a few wont use more than 16 at all. ( While I'm saying this, vp9 without AVX2 support will hardly use 8 )
