    It might, depending on the game, but I think at 1080p 60 it won't be noticeable

    Yes, no volt tweaking for "light" overclock.
    To get to 3000 you need to up the volt as well.

    Ram will overclock to 1 level up pretty easy without any tweaking. (2133-2400 or 2400-2666)

    Slower 16, and overclock.

    hands down slower 16gb, i don't think it's worth trying to work around 8gb ram anymore if you are buying new, i saw a gskill 2x8kit cl16 3200 on newegg last week (?) for 85usd.

    TomasFr reacted to emosun in I3 8100 ram   
    ah , In that case not sure what you are asking

    does an i3 support 16gb of ram? yeah
    does an i3 support 4 dimms? yeah
    do 4 dimms have any advantage over 2? not really
    can an i3 address 16gb of ram? sure

    is there a particular task you are doing that requires 16gb of ram and a lower end cpu perhaps?

    if on a budget, Asrock B450 Pro4 or B450m Pro4. These cost around the same as GB DS3H.
     
    If you plan to upgrade, and possibly overclock later, but don't want to spend a whole lot, pick something from MSI, ie.: Mortar, Tomahawk, Bazooka. And try to get at least 2933mhz RAM-s, ryzen&IGP will be grateful for that.

    Gigabyte's 4 phase VRM is the second worst you can get on AM4. It's absolute garbage. If you don't intend on upgrading to a >4 core, and don't intend on using it with the iGPU, it's fine.

    The MORTAR is Micro-ATX.
    The MORTAR is indeed good, I have it in my system and it works pretty well, and it's also good for OCing.
     
    If you don't want to OC at all, then go for the DS3H. It won't 'die early' lol

    TomasFr reacted to WereCatf in Retail worker suggests that I get a better mobo   
    By and large, mobos don't just suddenly die like that, unless you're really, really pushing overclocks and you blow caps or melt the VRM. In any sort of normal usage, I'd say storage-media is by far more likely to die than a mobo is.

    TomasFr reacted to LukeSavenije in Retail worker suggests that I get a better mobo   
    no, it's quite bad for the price
     
    yeah, together with the bazooka, tomahawk and pro carbon for msi
     
    I would suggest looking for a Asrock Pro4, it's a great motherboard on a budget

    NetOnNet sales people do not know more about hardware than the average person does. Some of the people at technical support knows a bit but not much more  Great place to buy stuff but do the research somewhere else.

    TomasFr reacted to GoldenLag in 1080p 60+hz under $220?   
    If you can. Id suggest saving that last 600 sek. Though if you cant, yes youd have to go for the 75hz model

    Hi!
    I've been wanting to build a computer for some time now. The problem has so far only been the budget, limiting me to about $650. I made a list on pcpartpicker and made a build but I'm afraid it might not be optimal. Please let me know if I'm going too cheap on the mobo or the psu or if you can recommend any "budget" hardware for my build. Any feedback is appreciated.

If anyone could optimise it anyway, would make me really grateful.
