    Fedora, is by far my favorite. But I have started liking Manjaro as well.

    It absolutely would not bottleneck a 2080. Not even close. It comes within 5% or less of the 9600K and maintains high framerates. Here's some data:
     
     
     
     
    Furthermore, look here. The 8400 (which is slightly slower than the 9400F) is almost on par with an 8700K in average gaming using 15 games (source PC Gamer) and the 1080 Ti which is equivalent to an RTX 2080:
     

     
     
     
    The board is still getting use in that it's allowing the 3000MHz RAM to run at 3000MHz instead of 2666MHz, which can increase FPS by up to 16% depending on the title (see second video above). Plus it allows for an upgrade path to the 9700K or 9900K or possibly Comet Lake CPUs (unknown right now).

    My thumb rule for prebuilts is to always look for deals

    This one, for instance is a great deal.

    lmaobadatmath reacted to ChairSpelledWrong in How to breathe   
    Breathing is an important step to living as a human, and it can be challenging to first get a hold of it. When you look around you, everyone seems to know how to perfectly breathe, although they started our, barely knowing the basics, just like you
    Step 1: Relax
    Everyone else had to go through the same stress you are right now once in their lives. Soon, you will be like the best breathers in the world; Nicki Manaj , Ted Bundee, and Vermon Supreme
    Step 2: Exhale or Inhale.
    If you've bottled up your Carbon Dioxide for your entire life, then you would want to start with a nice exhale, relaxing your neck muscles while your at it. If you don't have any air in you at all, then you would need to start with a deep inhale.
    Step 3: Vice versa.
    After completing step two, you must do the opposite of that, completing the circulation. If you exhaled, inhale. If you inhaled, exhale. This will allow you to either receive Oxygen, or remove Carbon Dioxide.
    Step 4: Repeat.
    Now to keep breathing, you will need to somehow keep this pattern going. By repeating Step 2 and Step 3, you will keep yourself breathing. Just keep inhaling and exhaling, and all will soon be well.
     
    I hope this tutorial helped you learn to breathe and live in this rough society.

    For that price, get the RTX 2080 Ti instead. That is an expensive af 1080Ti.

    lmaobadatmath reacted to BigRom in Ryzen 3 2200g Upgrade   
    Yeah the 1600 is a pretty decent jump over the 2200G, but you should wait to see whether Ryzen 3rd gen changes the playing field. You might get an even better deals on the newer 2600 if people start dumping those to get the 3rd gen chips.
     
    If you're dead set on the 1600 and live in the US, as well as having a Microcenter near you. Well you're in luck, they are selling Ryzen 1600 for the same price as a 2200G.

    Its absolutely idiotic to use a AIO for a build of this price point, especially one with a locked i5-9400F which will barely see an improvement in performance over a stock cooler

    lmaobadatmath reacted to Imbellis in Old computers and parts   
    CRTs can go for "good" prices, but for old monitors, depending on quality, you may have to pay somebody to take it,
    Pictures/specs of the computers would help us know what they're worth. You may be able to find the system's specs in the BIOS.

    Wait two months, there may be something in Zen 2 that catches your eye, and if not the 2xxx chips will go down in price because of the new launch.

    That is a pretty balling system already, I would recommend selling the GPU and the CPU and upgrading to a Zen 2 (Ryzen 3) chip this june or July, all previous gen motherboards will have support for those. By that time, RTX cards wiil (hopefully) be on sale as well.
  21. Agree
    lmaobadatmath reacted to Eastman51 in new build   
    Why? The 2600 is a good CPU, B450 is a good chipset for it, 16GB of RAM is fine, 1070 is still good, you have plenty of storage.
     
    I don't see a real reason to build an entirely new system. I'd maybe get an aftermarket CPU cooler and do some OC, and you could get a new 2070 or 2080 and that 1080p 240Hz monitor. 1100 pounds would get you a system with pretty similar performance to this, so I don't know why you want to build an entirely new system...
