He said his budget is flexible and he said all he needs is a gpu. Considering a 3070 is $500 yes I think he can afford it with his flexible $600 budget for nothing other than a gpu.

If you have a $600 budget why would you go with a 3060ti over a 3070?

Id get a 3070. You'd have a few dollars left over and the performance gains are well worth the price difference between it and a 2060.

Just out of curiosity what gpu are you running?

I haven't used a disc drive since I was running a q6600 lol

Budget (including currency): $4500 Country: us Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: any and all Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Santa is me lol. Been saving for this build since the 3080 was released. The 3080 is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Upgrading from a 3770k and 5700xt rig. I cant wait to see all the cyberpunk bugs with RTX on lol

oh wow you found that fast. I guess it has nothing to do with my no boot problem. Thank you for the help I dont know how I overlooked that I've searched the internet for it extensively.

Hey guys I'm trying to get some help finding out what this orange led at the bottom right of my motherboard is. I have looked all through the manual for the mobo but it says nothing about them and the mobo doesn't have anything beside the led to indicatewhat it is. I built this system approximately 2 years ago and it consists of an i5 8400, asus rog strix h370-i motherboard, 16gb of xpg 2666 memory, gigabyte gtx 1060, and an evga 450w psu. The system has been running perfect since I built it until it randomly shut off a few days ago. The motherboard rgb still lights up but when I press the power button it does nothing. To troubleshoot i have swapped memory, cpu, gpu, and psu into another system I have to verify that they work and I have swapped the stuff from they other system into this one but it still does nothing when the power button is pressed. I have unhooked the header for the power button and jumped the pins and it does nothing. I have jumped the pins to reset bios settings but it didn't help. I'm thinking my motherboard is dead. I'm just trying to figure out if the orange led at the bottom of the mobo is trying to tell me anything. I can't recall ever noticing it before they system quit working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

wow, just wow

sweeeeeet

thanks for the comments guys when i get the psu painted and everything put together fully ill take some good pics with my dslr for y'all

yea linus did a video where he used plastidip to paint some components a few months back

no it works fine plastidip is non conductive alot of people use it to paint pcbs

yea with white plastidip

no back plate i painted it with white plastidip it was a god aweful teal green color lol

also it has a phenom ii x6 1100t cpu, asrock 990fx fatality killer motherboard, 8 gigs ram, a 120gb ssd for bootup and basic programs and a 2tb mechanical drive for media and games it has 2 white silverstone led strips and white led intake fans on the front.

ok so i've built alot of computers ranging from gaming rigs to just plain ol' media rigs for myself and other people over the years but i've never tried painting any of the components because i've always been too scared id goof up and it'd look just horrible but i've got this friend who messed his shoulder up real bad and has been out of work for about 4 months now recovering and he has had to make a lot of sacrifices to pay bills and support his family. He has always been a console gamer and had to sell his xbone and ps4 because he was broke and the only thing he has for a pc is a crappy ol' laptop thats about 7 years old that has to stay plugged into the wall because the battery is bad and the fan runs at abour 80% the whole time its on and won't hardly even stream movies from netflix and stuff which is a problem because he doesnt have satellite or cable tv he just uses the laptop for media. So anyway since ive done so many builds ive accumulated alot of spare parts and decided to build him a pc for media consumption and gaming to replace that laptop and the gaming consoles. So i havent told him i'm building it for him im just gonna surprise him with it when im done. We were talking about him building one when he gets the money just so i could feel him out and see just what he'd want in a pc and the main thing he talks about every time i bring it up is wanting a white case with white components and i didnt have a white case or any white components so i decided since im giving it to him for free to help him out i'd experiment with painting some stuff. The case was a black corsair 230t and i painted the top and sides a beautiful pearl while, which you cant see the pearl in the pics, leaving the front and back black to break up the white. the cpu heatsink is a 212 evo that i painted the front white and put a very light white coat on the fins so theyre not silver anymore. The gpu is a saphire r9-270x which i painted the pcb with white plastidip and the shroud with white paint for plastic. I'm also painting the 500w evga psu white as well. anyway i just felt like sharing this since its my first time feel free to leave some comments. some of the pics are horrible because it was in a low light setting and my iphone doesnt do well in low light sorry. btw the paint is all even and beautiful its my phone that makes it look all splotchy

There was those two people and me taking the photo lol yea once we separated all the parts out we git it put on in almost no time

Lol my cousin built his dual 980 6700k build drunk and it worked then he went to plug in a USB header sober and shorted UT out and burned his mobo up

Omg the biggest headache ever. Especially when drunk

Lol my power button is the only button with something behind it

From power button press to home screen? That's a fast ssd. Makes me feel stupid to spend $500 on an nvme drive. My old 840 would take around 18

With fast boot enabled my pc boots off my nvme drive sub 10 seconds lol

I don't know if I'd call anything that takes 3 minutes to boot kick ass lol

Sorry I just skimmed the list
