New will be fine, but I would suggest you try to find a local recycler or buy used. GL Chris

Noob building a gaming PC! Help appreciated

There is nothing objectively wrong with your list, and if you had gone ahead and bought it, you would be very happy, no doubt. I think it is a good idea that you are going to revisit your list, IMO, your motherboard/RAM selections were not on point. Everything else is great. My suggestion: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU Intel Core i5-10600K 4.1 GHz 6-Core Processor $299.99 @ Newegg CPU Cooler Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU Cooler $69.98 @ Amazon Motherboard Gigabyte Z490 VISION G ATX LGA1200 Motherboard $199.99 @ Amazon Memory Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory $92.99 @ Amazon Storage Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $99.99 @ Amazon Storage ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $149.99 @ Adorama Video Card Asus GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB STRIX GAMING Advanced Video Card $784.99 @ Best Buy Case Fractal Design Meshify C ATX Mid Tower Case $104.98 @ Newegg Power Supply be quiet!

iirc BestBuy used to do a price match +10% on competitor pricing, but I'm not from America Cheers -

Hey man, super excited for you. That's a nice chunk of $ to be working with. Good build too, they really are your friends! Questions: What resolution to you plan on getting 144fps @? Do you already have a monitor? Which one? Do you know/want to overclock your rig or would you like more of a turn key experience? IMO stuff: Intel platform make sense for your use case. In reference to my question above, the 106000010600K is a fun/great chip to overclock with. The 3600 is a more of a set it and forget it type. Get the Super. The Ti is...an historical piece I dislike the timings of your RAM selection. Put an extra $40-50 bucks in to get some true CL16s, none of this 16-19 shit. Remember to check your motherboards QVL list. GL. Chris -
Is the way I plugged the PCIE connector to the GPU ok?
INurHome replied to Jetcloudz's topic in Graphics Cards
Do me a favor, push the two pin power connector on your GPU in just a weeee bit. Thanks. Chris -
What Power Supply do you have Aya? Also are is your computer in a full size case?

Want to upgrade my Alienware Area 51 R-2.

You are straight up missing an SSD. What's the model of your PSU? Chris -
Is there a way to test GPU Vram stability? like prime 95 but for vram
INurHome replied to LOST TALE's topic in Graphics Cards
MemtestG80 is workable, for Nvidia cards. Good post here. r/NVIDIA GL -
Niiiiice. I really don't know much anything about monitors. Hopefully, someone else can comment or suggest an alternative. I do notice that the Samsung is a VA panel whereas the LG is IPS. Consider the environmental conditions of your set-up such as viewing angle and lighting. iirc VA is worse for viewing angle and IPS is bad with black uniformity Cheers

Hey, congrats on the new PC! What are your system specs? Chris

Holy cow. Check Ebay, there is an i5-6500 right now for $1.34USD, not including shipping. But that is only about 10-15% better than your 6100 (or so some quick fact checking says). But ultimately I agree with Fasauceome, a 3100 on a B450/550 would be the way to go. From a 750ti the RX 570 is a great upgrade. Start low-balling and haggled those overpriced listings. GL Chris

The addition of an SSD will certainly make your system feel much more snappy. If you haven't upgraded to an SSD for your OS yet, it's a great upgrade. **Side note: Found a 1TB SSD on pcpartspicker for less than $100. 2020 me is laughing at 2010 me who bought a 64GB for $150.00!)** I disagree with any upgrade other than an SSD. I don't care what the motherboard QVL list of CPUs is, that VRM is less than good and I would not trust my non-k 6700 on it. If you want upgrade on that platform, only take the dirtiest, cheapest deals. Be patient and look for an i5 CPU in the range of $35.00 or so. Man, you need a full upgrade. Sorry to say it. What resolution are you even gaming at?

Upgrading my CPU and RAM
INurHome replied to NicholasNicholasNicholas's topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
Absolutely. I'm no expert but I imagine that the scaling from 3900X down to 3300x is fairly consistent. Here, watch this video. Watch this BEFORE buying an AMD CPU! - Every RAM Speed Tested C
