  1. I wanted to go 5700XT but fearing the driver issues I went with the EVGA 2060 Super. Still hope one day I'll be able to go full AMD though.
  2. Will look into the Gigabyte one! But that motherboard is 100€ more expensive... Is it really worth it?
  3. Hello, I've been looking to update my 5 y/o computer for more than a year now, but I've finally pulled the trigger on the case so now I must do it :). I'll be going from my behemoth Cooler Master StormTrooper case to the NCase M1 V6.1. ATX to ITX. I want a quiet and cool system. I also wanted to go AIO because of the looks and have always wanted to try it. I know it is overkill for a 3600 and a Noctua C14S might be cheaper and the better choice though. I wanted to go with a 5700XT but they are almost none 2 slots cards (in order to install 2 fans below), so I'll go with the 2060S from EVGA. Here is the list of the parts below. Do you have any comments or other before I start buying the parts? Thanks!

  4. Get a Ryzen 5 3600 for 200€ or even a 2600 for 120€...
  5. I'm eventually going with an air cooler instead of AIO liquid cooled, allowing more space for the GPU. I have also updated the case to the H210. And replaced the GPU with a full size 2060 Super. Is there enough headers on the mobo to get all the fans? (at least 4: two in front, two for the NH D15). Or should I get some Corsair Commander Pro? How do I know if the NH D15 is compatible with the ram? Should I get lower profile ones? No issue with air intake if I put an ATX PSU instead of SFX in this case? Gpu is 2 slot so it should allows some air from underneath. The build will look like this, but in black: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($194.00 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 CHROMAX.BLACK 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler ($99.95 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard ($134.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Kingston HyperX Predator 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory ($102.00 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($89.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB SC ULTRA GAMING Video Card ($419.99 @ Amazon) Case: NZXT H210 Mini ITX Tower Case ($79.98 @ Amazon) Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply ($103.98 @ Newegg) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap 82.52 CFM 140 mm Fan ($26.90 @ Amazon) Case Fan: Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM chromax.black.swap 82.52 CFM 140 mm Fan ($26.90 @ Amazon) Total: $1278.68 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-11-11 06:47 EST-0500
  6. My mistake for the single channel, I misclicked on PCPartPicker. Of course it will be dual channel, but I think I will have to rotate the AIO in order to fit the closer ram. Don't take the price into account, it's messed up for Belgium. I can buy anything in Europe without any fees anyway (Amazon Espana, Italia, Deutsch, French, England + other websites). The Asus is around 140€ and indeed it's mainly black . I didn't saw any review of the 2070 super mini... too new yet? But the reviews of the 2070 mini are kinda ok, hitting 70° maximum under load. I could go with a 2060 super mini as well if that's better? I don't play triple A games: Age of Empires II, Rocket League, Cities Skylines, etc.
  7. Hello, I'm currently on my almost 5-year-old build (standard at the time: i5 4690k / GTX 970 combo). It has served me well and I now think it's the right time to upgrade: big enough performance gap to justify the change. Now, the thing is I would like to go from an ATX build (actually E-ATX as my Cooler Master StormTrooper allows it) to an ITX build. Not SFFPC per se, since the case I'm leaning towards is the NZXT H200. Here is the list of the components: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor (€209.85 @ Amazon Deutschland) CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Rev 2 98.17 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (€142.91 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard (€153.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) Memory: Kingston HyperX Predator 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory (€89.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (€111.89 @ Alternate) Video Card: Zotac GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8 GB MINI Video Card (€542.54 @ Amazon Deutschland) Case: NZXT H200 Mini ITX Tower Case (€79.90 @ Amazon Deutschland) Power Supply: SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (€99.99 @ Amazon Deutschland) Total: €1526.43 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-11-04 22:24 CET+0100 I like the idea of a small PC with a 280mm radiator and 4 fans. OnPCPartPicker it says the H200 cannot accomodate a 280mm but it does. I'm leaning towards the Zotac 2070 super mini (209mm) since I have 245mm of GPU clearance with 2 fans width+radiator (push/pull). If I only do push I have 25mm more and could fit an EVGA 2070 Super. I would have liked to go with the 5700 XT but unfortunately they're a tad too big. What are your recommendations for this build ? (EU area) It would kinda look like this but with a shorter GPU:
  8. Get Keepa for Amazon. It shows the history of the prices for every item on the page itself. https://keepa.com/#! Even allows you to put alert when a chosen item is a whatever price! Best extension ever.
  9. I'd go with the Seasonic. Hard to argue with their reputation.
  10. Nice parts ! Great to be able to get a 2070 for the same price. But I wouldn't need a 2070 so I would just lower the total price instead. And I have my preference for Seasonic the cooler will fit with the top case fan? And the GPU?
  11. Actually baby ATX is better for me than mini ATX. I want a smaller rig but not a mini rig. But I'm not sure about the size with the cooler and the top fan. Maybe better with AIO? Never done it.
  12. Hi there, I'd like a small ryzen build. I chose the NZXT H200 since it's not too small and has a nice look. Right now I'm still rocking my i5 4690 and GTX970 but it's time to upgrade. My case is so huge and I can't stand it anyway (CM Storm Trooper). Playing at 1440p 60Hz but only less demanding games: Rocket League, Age of Empires II, Two Point Hospital, etc. I might upgrade to a 144Hz panel later but I'm still loving my BenQ VA 32'' monitor right now. Here is the list of the parts I selected: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor €162.44 @ Amazon France CPU Cooler be quiet! - Dark Rock 4 CPU Cooler €59.37 @ Amazon France Motherboard Asus - ROG Strix B450-I Gaming Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard €165.89 @ Amazon France Memory Kingston - HyperX Predator 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory €117.89 @ Amazon France Storage Toshiba - OCZ TR200 960 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage Samsung - 970 Evo 1 TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive €213.14 @ Amazon France Video Card Zotac - GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB GAMING Video Card €380.40 @ TopAchat Case NZXT - H200 (White) Mini ITX Tower Case €88.84 @ Amazon France Power Supply SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply €86.35 @ Amazon France Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total €1274.32 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-04-29 21:54 CEST+0200 Don't really like the mobo but it seems like one of the best one out there. Any advice? Thanks
  13. Why are IPS panels way more popular than VA panels? I currently have the BenQ BL3200PT (1440p VA 32'' 60Hz) since 2015 and it's great, especially for the movies (those blacks). My only experience is with TN and VA panels though, and of course the TN panel is plain aweful for anything other than gaming/office. Does anyone make a 32'' 1440p 144Hz VA panel? That would be sweet...
  14. The new Opera (version 60 - Reborn 3) is just plain awesome. Free VPN and adblocker integrated by default. Fast. Beautiful. I installed it to test it, and it kind of reminds me of Vivaldi (left bar), great thing. I'm actually going to switch from Chrome. Anyone else has experienced the new Opera?
  15. What about Microsoft Project logo? Same as PowerPoint but in green?
  16. Well as a straight male I wear cargo skirts in the summer. As my wife says, skirts shouldn't be "girls only". After all, no women were allowed to wear pants before 1950, same story. So I started wearing skirts as I like the look of it, and more convenient with hot temperatures. I must be the only one in my city, still haven't met another guy with a skirt. The skirt you ordered is more "stylish" though, long and black, you won't get as many weird looks as I get ;). Enjoy!
  17. Well my build is now almost 4 years old (i5 4690K - GTX970 - 4*4GB RAM 1600mhz) and I think it's time to upgrade. I'd like to go with Zen 2 in a few months, and keeping my GPU for a year or so (playing at 1440p but games like Rocket League, Age of Empires, War Thunder, so my GPU is still fine for now). 4 years and not a single issue yet .
  18. Well I have a PC and use a Xbox Controller for Rocket League. Have you ever tried to play Rocket League with a keyboard? Noob.
  19. More interested in the new Galaxy Watch by Samsung, just came out. And I'm still rocking my Gear S3 Frontier for almost 2 years. IWATCH looks too small and feminine IMO.

  21. How is this even possible/allowed? In EU we have so many rules preventing "over consumption" of products (started a decade ago with the same charging cables across brands, planned obsolescence, etc.), having a new product that, when broken, cannot be repaired, is beyond understanding. What a waste, of money for sure, but especially a waste for the Earth. American way at its finest.
  22. I like how need to specify your use of torrent applications to disculp yourself^^
