My motherboard has a rgbw header and I wanted to add a led strip, but don’t want to buy one with the white to save money. Can I plug a 4 pin plug into a 5 pin just don’t use white?

My brother just built a pc and we were trying to find a game under $20 to play together. We like playing shooters,survival, and zombie games. Recommend what games we should get?

What games? This is going to matter a lot.

Mostly fortnite maybe some older games.

What resolution are you playing games at?

1080p

I know an intel pentium g3258 @4.2ghz will bottleneck a Gtx 970 4gb, but how much will it effect performance?

not by far... the 970 is a bit better. it's like 1050 ti/1060 3gb vs 1060 6gb

What drivers should I use for the 970 heard that Nvidia is adding graphics limiters in the new updates so older card become obsolete sooner

Gtx 970 4gb vs Rx 570 4gb?

Should be fine, old overclockable CPU at a high frequency and a decent budget graphics card, solid combo. The lack of cores/threads might kill performance in modern games though.

Would an intel pentium g4560 be better?

A intel pentium g3258 @4.2ghz and a Rx 470 4gb with 8gb of ddr3 ram

Is furmark useful for cheking stability of gpu overclocks?

76C is fine.

Getting a better PSU wouldn't help the temperatures.

 

Now max temp went to 80c but it’s no consistent 

My new Rx 570 4gb gets up to 76c full load is this safe and would getting a better power supply help at all?

Does that Pentium support multiplier overclocking?

Yes

I already have some old parts and he just wants to play fortnite.

The parts I have right now are as listed

Cpu:Intel pentium g3258

mobo:ASRock z97 anniversary 

Psu:Evga 430 watt

case: Corsair spec 01

Can someone give me options for a hard drive, 8gb ddr3 ram, and a Gpu that won’t bottleneck with this cpu

Yep. These are decent.

Would you say better than the ASUS 1050 ti Cerberus Gpu?

I want to get an Rx 570 4gb and this is the only one my microcenter has is it a good brand for Amd anyone experienced with power color products.

Anyone else have a tempered glass pc case and if so how do you keep your glass clean

RX 570 = 150W
i5 7500 = 75W
Everything else = 25W.

So, maybe up to 250W power draw under heavy load for a system like that. Most decent quality PSUs start at around 450W, so I would look in to some units such as the Corsair CX450M, Bitfenix Formula 450W, Be Quiet Pure Power 10/11 400W (if you're in Europe), etc.

If you're in the USA you can currently get the CX450M for $30 after a $20 rebate ($50).

Why not grab an AX1600i just to be safe? /s

Very detailed

You can power that with a 400w unit, let alone nearly doubling it.

Ik at first I was thinking isn’t 700 kind of a lot 

What psu would I need for this list of parts?

Gpu: Rx 570 4gb

Cpu: Intel i5 7500

Ram:16gb Ddr4

hdd: 1tb

ssd:240 gb

I’m getting the 570 then it’s cheaper and from what I see is a good performer 

I have a free sync 144hz monitor so keep that in mind.Which is better?

Bending cables does not increase power usage.
