I mentioned this to him and he went on about how that's an RGB build, not a black and yellow build... He explained to me that he wants the looks to be the same whether the computer is on or off, and that he doesn't want a bunch of bright lights when it's on... So @_d0nut and @jerubedo hit the nail on the head... @jerubedo I think has the best build since he somehow found every single part in the color scheme.

Holy....shit... Did you really find every single part to be black/yellow?

Greetings everyone. I have a bit of a challenge. I have a friend who wants a new gaming PC with a black and yellow theme. He cares about the looks more than performance. He only cares that it can game at 1080p with a target of 60 fps... I tried to find parts on my own, but I can't find any black and yellow parts let alone one... I found some great help on here the last time I posted so I'm hoping you all will come through again... His budget seems pretty loose. When I asked he just shrugged and said "$1000?" This would be the usa too...

The RX 580 seems like it would be a downgrade from the 980 Ti. I already have the 144hz monitor... I don't play many esports. The game I was playing before my computer was destroyed was odyssey... I already ordered the parts recommended originally and I'm happy. I was happy with the performance I had and I'm getting an upgrade all around. I never had any of the stuttering people are talking about in this thread... and I've played many games, most are big releases. The only game I may have seen some stuttering in is Battlefield V with 64 players, but even then it's once out of every 10 minutes maybe. It's nothing that breaks the game for me...

Everyone, I've made my choice and looked at all of the data posted... and some of my own research... Thank you all, but I like the build I chose.

I'm not doing any productivity, however. I really am just looking for the best fps...

This is perfect... It's like I'm getting my baby back... plus a little.

Odd, I never had any stuttering on my 6500... Thanks for the build, however. It looks nice...

Thank you both so much. That is a lot of footage... I think I'll go with that build then since it seems like the best performing parts. The only thing is the 256gb ssd. I guess I can add a hard drive or another ssd later though...

Sorry, I didn't realize that...

The 980 Ti is one of the parts in pieces. It came dislodged from the pcie slot on the fall and the shroud broke and a few fan blades were severed from the fans.

Oh and I should mention the only part I care about keeping is that tower. I've fallen in love with it...

Greetings everyone. Without getting into too much detail, I was involved in an... altercation... which resulted in my current PC being thrown out of my second story window. It's dead, and a few of the parts are in pieces. I don't want to salvage anything because even if I found a part to be working I wouldn't trust that it wouldn't crap out on me later. So... I guess I'm looking for a new build. I don't have much, my budget is $700. Luckily I still have my monitor, which is an Asus 144Hz 1080p panel. This new build is just for gaming, I won't be doing anything else crazy. My old build was this and I was happy with performance: -i5 6500 -16gb DDR4 2400mhz -GTX 980 ti -500gb ssd Here's what I was thinking for a replacement: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor ($117.40 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: MSI - B450 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard ($109.89 @ OutletPC) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($78.89 @ OutletPC) Storage: Lexar - NS100 480 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($47.99 @ Adorama) Video Card: Asus - GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6 GB DUAL OC Video Card ($269.99 @ Newegg) Case: Thermaltake - Versa N24 ATX Mid Tower Case ($34.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($39.89 @ OutletPC) Total: $699.04 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-06-02 00:59 EDT-0400 This would be my first time actually building something from scratch. Before this I've just upgraded parts, but I feel pretty confident I can do it. Should I change anything? I would like the best gaming performance I can get in this range, the higher the fps the better.
