    @filiboss123 I've decided to go with your motherboard that you've chosen me, but have a question about the CPU. I noticed there is a difference in TDP for the same model. One says 65W TDP and the other says 105W TDP for the Ryzen 7 3700x, which one do I need to get? Thanks again for helping. @Linus

    If I am not mistaken the ryzen 7 3700X is a 65W CPU, as the 3800x is the one that has 105W TDP.

    Depending on the price it might not be worth the upgrade... I would say that if the difference is more than 50$, it is not worth it. 

    Then there is the fact that the TDP increase may cause a need to upgrade your psu, further increasing tge price of your build.

    Ya sure its enough storage? Modern Warfare alone takes over 100GB... :I

    I said it once and I will say it again. The storage is easily upgraded!!

    My build has a better mobo (much more recent and way better looking) and a way better cooler that is way more efficient and much quieter, not to mention the RAM, that is 3200MHz intead of 3600MHz and has no heatsink what so ever!

    Storage is not to expensive and it is one of the easiest components to add to a build!!!

    He can get around with 500Gb for a while, as soon as he manages to buy another SSD, it is easy to install!! Just plug and play!

    Furthermore my build has an NVME SSD that is way faster than Sata SSD's!

    I actually really like the look of the chromax.black line, especially when you pair it with the additional accessories. Granted, that adds to the cost, but damn if it doesn't look good in my black and white (mostly) build with the white vibration pads and white cooler cover.

    I admit that looks good! I just think it is not worth it personally! They are both a great choice. And I must say, nice build!

    Still has room for better motherboard, storage or GPU! :D

    @Nena Trinity that buid does not correspond to his budget... and you have not read his requirements. He said that he already had a case, wanted no HDD, and wanted a quiet desktop (something that both the hdd and the stock cpu cooler are bad at!). Next time check what the person wants, do not give them a generic build!

    ok thank you for taking time to pick the parts. What do you think about the corsair rm850x power supply as an option? I just want a PSU thats going to be reliable and fairly quiet even under load. @filiboss123

    Despite being more expensive, it is a good choice!

    Noctua cooler and fans if you care about low noise. Be Quiet is a good runner up, but they still don't beat Noctua, in both noise and cooling performance. I will say Be Quiet has a larger line of good looking products. The Noctua chromax.black line is sick, but not all of their products are available in that line.

     

    The key to quiet, regardless, is low fan speeds. The lower you can spin the fans and still cool everything, the more quiet your system will be. That means 1) having a case with good air flow and 2) having powerful fans that push a ton of air. Ironically, "quiet" cases work against you on the first point, as the materials used to silence the case generally also restrict air flow. It might be a little bit of a trade off there, i.e. you actually end up with more fan noise, but hopefully not so much that it overwhelms the noise dampening.

    I agree, Noctua does great cooler ehich are in fact very quiet, but even in the cromax lineup, they are a bit less appealing in what comes to the look. I think the dark rock pro 4 is the best choice, quiet, efficient, and good looking (after all, you will live with it for several years with it beside you).

    The choice is yours, the difference is marginal!

  6. Well, the mobo might not be the best choice (at least for the 279.99$ in PCpartPicker), for that price I would consider a X570 mobo, but as it has an extra fan, I would just go for a lower B550 mobo like the B550 tomahawk. For the cooler, I would go for a be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4, as it is very quiet while being a great cooler. The GPU is, while idling, silent as the fans are off, during games they will produce some noise, but there is no way around it. I would consider some 140mm be quiet pure wings 2.

     

    This is the build I would make (later you can upgrade both the storage and the RAM):

  7. it is a bit hard to know the prices over there, however you might want to consider an rx5600xt! It might come out cheaper for basically the same performance. And perhaps put that money into a better PSU(550 - 650W)! And you might want to consider a better case if you get a good deal!

    Get a better case. something like a meshify c would be good. Dont get a aio- an air cooler would be better here- a nh-d15 or dark rock pro 4 would be fine. Try and see if you can find a 5700xt as for less you get better performance or f budget allows go up to a 2070 super as they can be had for around 450-500.

    I forgot to mention, the case is not the 100r but the 110r, that comes with 4 aRGB fans. The cooler is more of an aesthetic choice, and the nh-d15 is way more expensive here. I cant go for an 2070 super as it is way too expensive (here they start for 560€)... Is the rx5700xt (400 - 500€) better than the 2060 super (400-550€)? I thought it was the other way around. 

  9. Budget (including currency): about 1400€ - 1500€ is my absolute max

    Country: Portugal  - stores: PCDIGA and GLOBALDATA

    Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: video and audio editing and gaming

    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): It is a fresh build, , there are no old parts to be reused. The objective of this build is mainly focused on editing, however I do not want to compromise to much on the gaming side of the build. 

     

    Hello there;

     

    I am going to build a editing/gaming pc for a friend, and I wanted to make sure I do not make any mistakes. These are the parts I have in mind: https://pt.pcpartpicker.com/list/gKrGCL.

    Do you have any recomendations?

    Thanks for the help!

     

  10. Hello there;
    An issue has come up in my desktop. I was working in eclipse (java programming work for university) when, suddenly, the image started to get pretty messed up. It started to have some sort of ghosting (text was not well defined at all) and, in addition to this, the contrast and colour accuracy just went to hell.
    I have been trying to fix this for a long time now and I do not know what else to do. I have checked cables, monitor, however, I do not think it is a GPU derived problem has I tried to run Overwatch and everything became normal again, even the colour, despite this as soon as I left the game it became worse once again. I have also tried to reinstall windows with no results. The screen ghosting has disappeared, however, the colours are still not right (the black seems grey, and colours have very low contrast) and I do not understand how I might correct that.

    Can you help me, please?

     

     

     

  11. Firstly I think that your ram choice is a bit overkill, a 3200Mhz or a 3600Mhz kit would be enough. B450 is also good enough for a ryzen 5. You did not have storage in your build, so I added an m.2 SSD
    By not spending so much in ram I was able to add a 1660 super and a hyper 212 black edition that will according to the manufacture fit in the case cooler.

     

    Resuming:

    better cooling

    Storage included

    better gpu

    Same CPU

     

     

     

     

     

     

    If you only want to pay less, you colud do this:

    just downgrade the gpu back to the 1650super and use the CPU's stock cooler.

     

  12. If I were you I'd think about getting a lower end CPU and upgrading your gpu. The 2060 is very good, however you should consider a 2060 super (on the nvidea side) or even a 5700xt. 

    this is the build I'd do.

    Definitely a GPU upgrade first, there will not be much difference in most games between the 6700K and 3600X anyway and with an RX 5700 there's probably no difference at all, though it's up to you and I'm not sure what your use case is, I've only mentioned gaming.

    I would say the same

  14. That is the plan! I just use it for pictures, documents, and some games I play. As you said it is quite slow, so it is a bit bad for gaming.The M.2 would be used mainly to store my mostly played games the rest would go to the HDD.

    Thanks for the advice!

    Yeah you should have no problem with any storage solution you choose. And you should definitely upgrade that 5400rpm HDD, that thing is probably really slow.

    I am actually not thinking on replacing it just adding some fast storage. I do not even know if that really is the right hdd, it was in my PS4 (I installed a 2tb HDD).

    Thanks!
