  1. White and black? Okay, try the Corsair MM300 or MM350
  2. The prebuilt has the same 3600 and has a 1660 Ti instead of the 1650 super.
  3. B-series would be around $30 less, not enough to get a 3600 instead of the 2600, and more storage would also go overbudget. That's why I'm asking about the prebuilt. Better CPU, GPU and Storage for the same cost.
  4. It might sound like I'm totally being paid right now but I can assure you I'm not. In the case of hard pads, that's really the largest size. That's why I would probably go with something like the Razer Gigantus XXL for sheer size. You could put your keyboard, mouse, and every other desk accesory there.
  5. Budget (including currency): $699 USD Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Sound Design, Games like Among us, Roblox, and Minecraft. 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): Upgrading from a chromebook, he wants a device that can run most games at 60+ fps, and I'm helping him decide on parts as he knows nothing about computers. We created this list: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor $134.99 @ Newegg Motherboard ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4S ATX AM4 Motherboard $139.99 @ Newegg Memory Team T-FORCE VULCAN Z 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory $57.99 @ Amazon Storage Team MP33 256 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $35.99 @ Newegg Video Card Asus GeForce GTX 1650 4 GB Phoenix OC Video Card $208.99 @ Amazon Case Fractal Design Focus G ATX Mid Tower Case $59.99 @ B&H Power Supply EVGA BR 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply $49.94 @ Office Depot Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $687.88 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-10-14 12:28 EDT-0400 Except, I think that for that price, even with building it himself, wouldn't be the best deal he could get, and so I found this prebuilt newegg, their ABS line on sale, and even though prebuilts are never good, I wanted to ask you guys if I should go with the prebuilt, or if there are any alternative parts lists that you guys could come up with?
  6. Budget (including currency): $300 Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 40+ player Minecraft Server 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): Buying is pretty much any time, just looking for the right moment.
  7. Also, I would recommend getting an X570 board for that same price as it will provide better future proofing for your Ryzen CPU and also Graphics Card because of it's PCI-E 4.0 support.
  8. For around $120, I would probably go with an Open box Prime X570-P, but if you don't trust it, an MSI X570-A Pro will work. On the higher end, around $140-160 you could go with a New X570-P, or for a more premium look, an ASUS TUF or TUF WIFI (open box) for around $160
  9. Most likely, yes. It will definitely be functional, just might be slightly bottlenecked by the B450's PCI-E 2.0 support. I would suggest upgrading to a $120 B550 or X570 board to get the most performance. The X570 will also help future proof your system, and B550's don't have backwards compatibility, so you would need a new CPU if you decide you want a B550.
  10. Right now is definitely not the time to buy or build. If you're going for a budget build, wait for another month and buy the 3070. It's 2x the preformance of the 2080 Ti for less than half the price. Not sure if you need it right now, if you do then just buy a 1650 super or 1660 super for like $100-200. Other than that, you could get a B550 Motherboard for the same price, and you don't really need that 3600 Mhz RAM, so save $10 and buy some 3200 Mhz.
  11. Well the 3070 comes out in October and the price drops for the 20 series because of the 30 series releases haven't happened yet.
  12. Wondering if waiting for the 3070 is worth it or should I upgrade now? I'm upgrading from a laptop to a PC I build. I have all of the other parts ready, and I'm wondering if waiting for the 3070 to come out and buy that or wait for price drops of the 20 series is worth it or should I buy now??
  13. I've been waiting to buy a computer for months now, and so now that I've got the chance I need it as soon as possible.
  14. Budget (including currency): 1100 USD$ Country: US Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Blender, Unreal engine, Light 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): I have a 144Hz Gsync Monitor with HDR and peripherals. I'm upgrading from a laptop with a 1050 Ti and a 8th gen i5. Need the computer now as I'm selling my laptop.
  15. One of my friends is asking me to build him a computer, so I have to choose the parts for him to buy. I was wondering if this was an ideal build.

  16. I need some help refining my current build idea. I'm building a computer capable of Medium level gaming. Games like Minecraft, CS:GO, Overwatch, Battlefield V and a few others. They don't need maxed graphics, just the ability to play. My current build is: Ryzen 3 3200G GeForce GTX 1650 ASRock B450M PRO4 G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB Team MS30 256 GB M.2 SSD Fractal Design Focus G EVGA 600W 80+ Certified Let me know if there are any ways to improve without leave the $500-560 range.
  17. The seller is CyberpowerPC 1st PC base: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gamer-Dragon 2nd PC base: https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Gaming-Instant-Ship-GX-99027
  18. That doesn't include many of the Quality-of-Life additions that are also included, such as: Dual Band Wifi (Ethernet doesn't reach my room) B550 chipset AIO Watercooling 6 Case fans Thermal Paste Custom Engraving Extra Large Mousepad Windows 10 RMA-able parts Logitech G502 Mouse All for $979
  19. I've considered, yes, currently it is pretty much not worth it. The price of getting the same PC would be Very different if I were to build one, seeing as there are many sales going on in the website and it lowers the cost greatly.
  20. So I'm buying a PC from a Cyberpower and was wondering if this tradeoff would be worth it. PC 1: Ryzen 5 3600 360mm AIO Watercooler ASUS PRIME B550-PLUS ATX 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4/3200MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG Z1) AMD Radeon™ RX 5500 XT 8GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 [Navi] (Single Card) 240GB WD Green SSD + 1TB SATA III Hard Drive Combo Killer Wi-Fi 6 AX1650 Dual Band Plus a free RGB keyboard, mouse, and large mousepad.

Which should I choose? They both cost the same, and the first one also can have an engraving on the side panel.
