8600k.

There are many better avenues to find parts. There is even a section on this forum for selling & trading I believe. -
Could you not get a case shipped, from a local retailer, to where you are moving or do you have to make the trek into a major city?

Please refrain from asking for handouts.

You get 3 gadgets max to cover all your bases what do you chose?

I would have to choose my phone, desktop computer and NAS. Sorry TV, you didn't make the cut. -
I have the code and it offers many more USB ports on the i/o. I believe the hero has less USB ports but it does have a DP and ps2 port which the code does not. Plus they are aesthetically different.

Yes, I have built many computers. Probably in the mid 100s as far as quantity. My main computer (in its current iteration): Intel 8700K @ 5.1GHz ASUS Maximus Code Motherboard 32GB (4x8GB) Trident Z @ 3466GHz NZXT X62 Kraken AIO 2TB Nvme 3TB (3X1TB) SSD in Raid 0 ASUS STRIX 1080 Ti in SLI EVGA P2 1200W PSU Fractal Design R6 Case Plus a lot of LL120/140 fans.

There is a subsection of this forum for this type of thing. It is called New builds and planning.

Do you plan on adding a graphics card on the R5 1600 system? Without a dedicated GPU the system will not output any video.
-
I would purchase anything used if it works, the price is right and I have a need/want for it. All my computers are made from used hardware, most my furniture is repurposed and all my clothes are preloved, albeit tailored a bit.
-
I would recommend swapping out the 1660 Ti for a 1660 Super. Roughly the same performance for cheaper. And maybe consider getting a better PSU with a longer warranty. Something you can re-use in a build a few years down the line. Reference this PSU Tier List for ideas.

If you have any experience using LEGO you are more than qualified to click in a few parts to make a computer.
-
I would recommend the ASUS graphics card because I've always had a good experience with their product line. But realistically it comes down to what card you think looks best because they should both perform roughly the same.
-
Do you have a budget? What resolution are you playing at? What frequency?
-
My nervous system.
-
Looks to be a great 1080p gaming machine. Does it meet your needs?
-
As stated before the PSU is more than enough. I have run an aggressively OCed 8700K & Zotac 2080 Extreme on a decent tier 650W power supply without issue.

You can try to use a clean paintbrush in tandem with an air duster.

For some without an xbox/ps4 I am excited to play RDR2 on PC after this along awaited release. And since I've waited so long already I won't have an issue waiting a few months more in hopes of getting a discount on it.

How many computers do you have lying around the house?
drk replied to mamamia88's topic in General Discussion
Currently have 4 computers that are used frequently enough to not warrant a dismantle. It consists of 2 high end Gaming/Workstations in my office, a HTPC in the family room and a laptop (If I want to sit in a Starbucks and try to write a script about the story that is my life but be continually stuck on the first line...) -
I don't mind the gamer design/aesthetic if it is monochrome but count me out if there is any red or gold on the item.
-
My advice: 1 - don't forget to put the i/o shield on before motherboard installation 2 - don't sweat the build process because it's practically LEGO 3 - don't panic when your system doesn't turn on during the first boot. Just go to the back of your case an turn the PSU on

You are not able to upgrade.
-
B350/450 & X370/470 chipsets support overclocking.

One of my rigs has a 4790K with a stock Intel cooler on it. It's not a recommended pairing and will soon be replaced.
