  1. Hi! So today i bought myself a pair of Corsairs HS50 headphones. Everything seems to be OK except for the mic. When i got in to a call with my friend on discord, he immediately complained that the mic was scrunching and that he barely could hear me. I tried to restart my computer and replug all the cables but nothing is working. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
  2. I think I'll be buying the parts for my pc this week and I just want to see if you guys think i should change out something. Here's a list: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 3 2200G 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor $94.89 @ OutletPC Motherboard MSI - B450M MORTAR Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard Memory Kingston - HyperX Fury 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory $112.99 @ Amazon Storage Kingston - A400 240 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $29.99 @ Amazon Storage Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $44.89 @ OutletPC Video Card Sapphire - Radeon RX 570 4 GB PULSE ITX Video Card Case Cooler Master - MasterBox Q300L MicroATX Mini Tower Case $42.41 @ Newegg Business Power Supply Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $52.88 @ OutletPC Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total (before mail-in rebates) $398.05 Mail-in rebates -$20.00 Total $378.05 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-13 05:31 EDT-0400 Let me know what you think and I'll be very grateful. As said i think I'll pick up the parts this week. The GPU is alredy bought though. The things I'm most unsure with are the PSU and the SSD. This PSU costs about the same as the non modular version where I live,Sweden. The price is $80 and I don't know if it's worth paying that much for this PSU. EVGA's 500b costs about $70. Thanks in advance!
  3. My friend owns a comouter with: x58 LGA 1366 mobo https://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-Lenovo-S20-Thinkstation-X58-LGA-1366-Desktop-Motherboard-64Y7517-71Y8819-71Y8820/32633125414.html 12gb (3x4) of ddr3 1066mhz dram xeon W3550 Nvidia Quadro 2000D He wants to game but this computer doesn't reach 60 fps 1080p in games he wants to play(War Thunder, Fortnite). His budget to upgrade is around $150-200 but I'm not completely sure how much he is gonna save up. The graphics card is what he has been considering to give an upgrade but the mobo only has Pci e gen 2. How would it be to buy something like a used rx580 and put it in this system? Would it perform better than what he has? If he replaces the gpu then how much would he be able to sell the quadro for?(used since 2014, dusty) Is this upgrade stupid and should he just save up and replace almost everything? Should he prioritize another upgrade such as the ram? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
  4. I think it looks good but maybe add a big HDD because 500gb is, for some people, not enough these days.
  5. Oh I will definiately buy a mobo with 4 dimm slots. I've been looking at the MSI b450m MORTAR. I'll probably buy a dual channel kit and leave two slots open for upgradeability.
  6. Thank you! What would tweaking mean then? Messing with the volts?
  7. How much can you overclock RAM then? Can I buy a 2400mhz set and oc it to 3000mhz? Or would I have to get 2800mhz to be able to oc over 3000?
  8. Hi! So apparently RAM prices are sinking. My budget couldn't afford 16gb before but if the prices drop I might be able to get a kit. It would have to be slower than I'd like since i plan on using a Ryzen processor though. The other option is to stay with 8gb but buy a faster kit. That way I could always add more of the fast RAM rather than changing a whole 16gb set if it ever is too slow. I don't actually think that I will really benefit much from 16gb since I will only play pretty simple videogames(CSGO, War Thunder). Note that I'm NOT asking for specific RAM kits but that I just waned to see what you would do and what I should do. Thanks in advance!!
  9. The Athlon 200GE will offer an easy upgrade path in the furure to the Ryzen processors because it uses the same socket. A good mobo is the asrock pro4. Gigabyte B450M DS3H is cheaper and mATX but won't support anything much better than Ryzen 3 2200G.
  10. Not what you were specifically asking for in this case but: Note that the Ryzen 3000-series will release sometime soon and it might make the previous generations cheaper. Correct me if I'm wrong.
  11. Interesting! There is definiately a lot more for me to learn as I barely understood what you ment. But I did. *"look up q300l builds" has been added to the to do list* Thanks again everyone! I learned a lot by this!
  12. The CX550 is only $2 cheaper so I'd go for the cxm if I were to choose between the two. A modular PSU is of coarse nice to have. I think I'll be building in the q300l and it's pretty open so maybe paying extra for the cxm is worth it?
  13. The CX550M is $80 in Sweden vs the evga 500b witch is $69. Is the cxm worth it? Thanks for all the help guys!
  14. I have looked at it but unfortunaly it’s more expensive in sweden. Im from sweden, why should I not get the evga b?
  15. So I own an rx 570 Sapphire Pulse mini ITX GPU and the box says that the minimum PSU wattage is 500 watts. I was thinking of getting the evga 500b. My question is if this is too close to the edge and if the 600b is better? Thinking of getting the Ryzen 3 2200g but I'm waiting for the 3000-series. My budget is about $70. Thanks in advance!
  16. It was Net On Net. I felt he was honest since he said things that I agreed with but I didn't want to blindly follow his suggestions. Hence why I'm here.
  17. Yesterday I went to a local tech store to discuss things and as I showed a worker what mobo I was considering, https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/moderkort/amdsocketam4/gigabyte-b450m-ds3h/1006079.13678/?utm_source=prisjakt.nu&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=prisjakt_prisjamforelse&dclid=CKSTsfW7w-ACFYWLsgodKhgPqg, he instantly bacame doubtful and suggested that I get a more expensive one and ATX because he thought the mobo would be the first thing to die on me. Is this genuine feedback or a way of making me buy more expensive stuff from them? Is the ASUS TUF B450M-PRO GAMING worth it? Is the MSI B450 MORTAR good? I think I'll get the ryzen 2200g but I wanna see what happens when the 3000-series comes out. Graphics card:Sapphire Radeon rx 570 Pulse Mini ITX https://cdon.se/hemelektronik/sapphire-radeon-rx-570-pulse-mini-hdmi-dp-4gb-p43977847?gclid=CjwKCAiAqaTjBRAdEiwAOdx9xs8GQZCvKNc56be-v5BbrlNftpleAuOKrQZtUrOzPtYgUVCGg3yN9xoCSfsQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds#fo_c=1753&fo_k=b4ca7e2bed501d5cec8ea0df4933a16e&fo_s=gplase Any help is very much appreciated!
  18. My computer takes 300gb with inly a 1tb HDD. I think I'll end up with a 2xxgb after all. Thanks for the help!
  19. I suppose, but if I only download games I play often on the SSD and when I get bored of them I redownload them on a bigger HDD I should be fine with 120gb? How big is windows 10? Edit: Or I could add another SSD later?
  20. Pretty cheap and known brand. Is it good? Kingston Ssdnow A400 120GB SA400S37 / 120G SATA 2.5quot = $31 https://www.netonnet.se/art/datorkomponenter/harddisk/ssdsata-25-tum/kingston-ssdnow-a400-120gb/1003737.8993/?gclid=Cj0KCQiAheXiBRD-ARIsAODSpWNHVXWBwp4hhHb_hE3lulmzIL6imDhV8deKd5SZSVmyET6_YNm5j0oaAvE_EALw_wcB Is this better? Kingston UV500 M.2 SSD - 120GB = $37 https://www.proshop.se/SSD/Kingston-UV500-M2-SSD-120GB/2652625?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=searchengine&gclid=Cj0KCQiAheXiBRD-ARIsAODSpWN35FBz1GWVh9Rt_5PskfGYEgoQdvvTglAHPtDsiHbTK1jHt3tK4kYaAi1JEALw_wcB Thanks in advance!
  21. Hi So I am building a computer and I want an SSD but I don't know if it's better to get a 120gb SSD and a 1tb HDD or go for a single 500gb SSD. I don't have the budget to spend more than a $90. What is best? Any feedback would be very much appreciated!
