After i sleeped i wanna give my last juice to this ^^

 

so with everything conciderd, there are 2 two chosses

- a sytstem thats upgardeble for the near furture (stay AM4)

- or a system for the longer future (swap to am5)

Everything there has its con and pros and thats ultimaly your choose and your money to spend

 

I my opinion ! (Im bias, im a human, i can surely be wrong)

I think a B550 with a 3600 will be the best in the longrun

that 6core has a lot of power for years to come (even old 4core CPU from 2012 a still ok)

and and B550 has PCe-I 4.0 whats makes it upgradalby a long time (PCe-i 3.0 bandwith isnt even fully exhaust today)

also NVME SSD will become reasonable to buy for gaming

 

I just think that will be enough for 10year of PC gaming, upgrade the GPU in some years and nothing shut be bottlenecking you

 

 

I was thinking about getting a b450 tomahawk max, because the same variant in b550 comes up to the same price as the x570 board mentioned. You have given me a lot to consider, now it all bottles down to availability and how much I can get the components for. 

Thank you for all the help, have a good one!

Then don't bother worrying about future compatibility. You only get the 4000 series to upgrade to, and it's probably not enough of an upgrade to worry about spending a great deal more money on. If you're on a tighter budget, go with B450 and then upgrade in a couple years to the AM5 platform.

 

Should do. There's loads of different models, so brand alone doesn't help, but they both make nice coolers.

Does remind me of the conversation me and dad had while checking for the parts, will definitely reconsider on the mobo. Thanks!

the 3600 has only a 65Watt TDP, a decend third party Air cooler is more than enough for max overclokcing

 

HD Monitor with 144fps and free sync, MSI Optix G24C4 23.6, Sceptre C248B, VIOTEK GN24CW 24.0"

 

The msi and Sceptre look like good options, viotek isn't available. Thank you for the suggestions.

Depending on the cost of the motherboard, consider just getting a PCIe WiFi card instead of spending more money on the board itself.

Don't get a B450 motherboard if you're worried about upgrade options, but at the same time don't spend more on a B550/X570 board unless you're upgrading next year.

Otherwise just get the cheaper B450 board, as you'll likely want to move to AM5 when it comes time to upgrade anyway.

I'd spend money on a better cooler.

 

Don't bother including USD pricing, it's not relevant to you and it'll just end up confusing people.

I was thinking about a noctua or a be quiet cooler, should do the job (?) 

Not sure if I'd upgrade next year, but there is an upgrade path to be taken for sure.

you want to water cool your GPU later, did i undertsand that correcly? if yes that will be not possible or super expensive,

 

also watch maybe for a monitor with free sync, gysnc or adapatice sync

 

Water cooling the cpu, my bad, I should've been a little more descriptive. I will look at more monitors, but I am not that good with them, any suggestions? The reason why I picked the zowie was cause its known to be the "best" monitor for gaming.

Hey Roro

with Zen 3 in mind go for a B550

NVME SSD is good but theres not much diffrent in perfomence to a normal SATA SSD, there a lot cheaper

for the GPU, look also to a 5600XT (your monitor has no Snyc technology)

the case is cool, but maybe you find a good cheaper one

500W for a single GPU is surely enough

 

Thanks for that, I'll look into the SATA SSD's. About that 5600XT, its coming up more expensive than the 2060 that I selected, not quite sure why. And the majority of the 5600XT's available here are triple fan design, and the only dual fan card is 10-11k more than the 2060. And I do plan on water cooling it, and I would assume it'd hurt the chances of me being able to get a radiator in the front. 

Budget (including currency): 800USD (60K INR)

Country: India 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mainly gaming, may try streaming 

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): going to the local stores this weekend to check prices and start buying parts. 

I am building my first ever gaming pc. I am now confused as to getting a b450/550 or an x570 mobo. I don't want to buy another motherboard after Zen 3 launches (I want to be able to upgrade it without any issues), as the probability of Zen 3 being supported on a B450 is upto the manufacturer. I also want to make sure that the RAM would run at XMP/AMP/DOCP

This is the build so far, would love for some inputs or advices on how to make sure it lasts:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI (need a wifi enabled board as the PC will be somewhere the cables will be hard to run to)

Memory: ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D60G 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  or G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB (8GBx2) DDR4 3200MHz  \[F4-3200C16D-16GTZR\]

Storage: ADATA XPG SX6000 512 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1660 GAMING 6G 6GB GDDR5 or Zotac GeForce RTX 2060 Twin Fan 6GB GDDR6

Case: NZXT H510i ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: Corsair RMx 650W or RM 650W (depending on whats available) Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Monitor: BenQ ZOWIE XL2411P 24.0" 1920x1080 144 Hz Monitor

Still searching for a keyboard, came across the Logitech G213 prodigy, but not quite sold on it yet, any suggestions on the keyboards would also be really helpful. Thank you. 

Edit : formatting 

Sorry for formatting issues, I am on mobile. 

Okay LTT forums, you're my last hope. 

I have an Acer Aspire 4738 of a family member, which BSOD'd a few days ago. Backed up the data in the "C" partition (where 90% of the users data was) using a Linux bootable I had made just for these kind of cases. 

This laptop is slightly unusual, it's got 5gigs of RAM. I was surprised too when I opened it up a few minutes ago. 

The laptop now needs a new OS, win10, no brainer. 

I get by win10 bootable, get the laptop to boot into the win10 setup, so far so good, here's where it gets... Tricky. When you click the "install now" button after the language selection, it just gives me a screen that says "setup is starting" and stays there for the next 30-60 minutes (yes, I actually waited it out). After which it will take me to drive/partition selection, which will refresh for another 20 or so minutes and then let me select a partition. After around 20-25 minutes, I get an error "cannot be installed on this drive" and the setup cancels and starts all over again. 

Now, I think it's because of the weird RAM config, I open it up and take the 1gig stick out, now it's just 4gigs, should be no issues from this point, right?? Nope, the laptop doesn't like the 4gig stick and shuts off as soon as I hit the power button. 

Tried the 1gig stick, boots up like a charm and even boots I to the win10 installer. Now, it's still stuck at the same screen "setup is starting". I still think it's bad RAM. 

Any help/tips are appreciated. Thanks guys. 

Note : BIOS is super basic, there's not a lot of options to fiddle. If anyone wants pictures for my issue, I am more than happy to provide them for further clarification.

Here's a guide on how to install Ubuntu on a USB stick : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick

 

No offnse, but if you can't find a guide by yourself on how to do something very simple and common - when there are already dozens of guides on this - installing Ubuntu might not be the best idea, especially for a family computer - unless you want to dual-boot, but that won't get rid of your Windows problems. I've never used the Ubuntu distro, but I've played with several distros and you need to do a lot of searching sometimes to do very simple things. That might not be the case with Ubuntu since it's more "mainstream" and popular than some other distros, so I might be wrong here.

 

In any cases, run a Malwarebytes scan first, and you can always do a clean install of Windows to get rid of everything and start fresh.

well the last time i tried something like this i erased the whole hard drive, so just to be sure  but i did recover all the data so that was good on the other hand i had a fresh copy of win 8.1 installed later

Okay, i've been using win 8.1 pro for a while now and since the desktop is a family desktop i am starting to wonder if some sort of virus got in. First utorrent started acting all crazy, then the explorer.exe went bonkers, even though i deleted all the files of utorrent from "\AppData\Roming\utorrent" i still have a "utorrent.exe" running in the background. So coming to the point a few years ago in my local paper i read this article about one installing ubuntu on a flash drive to get rid of said virus since 99% of the viruses are aimed at windows OS's, i was pretty sure i saved that article i couldn't find it, So will you guys help me ASAP because the amount of insane shit happening on my desktop is unbelievable!

These have to be my favorite

"your not suppose to do stupid thing's" i thinks that the whole point of linus actually he does stupid thing so that we don't have to thanks linus!

what are the fan's used on the rads?

Hey @Rorossi:What type of DeepCool ROCKMAN NZXT SEN-MIX2 or something else??

EDIT: The drawing isn't too bad since you drew it while you were in class.

first, thanks

second, what the hell is "DeepCool ROCKMAN NZXT SEN-MIX2"?

if you are talking about cases, i already mentioned what cases it's based/inspired on/from

It's definitely a good video, but disregard what they say about "never go with closed unless you are in a noisy environment." That statement is really incorrect....

yep, i agree, closed is the best when gaming

An interesting video that I think has some valid points, I like the look of the modmic as well!

you sir, are a freaking genius!!! thanks, i might just do this  

Not really, It's not something many people keep up to date on.

As long as it's got a decent write speed of 6-8x or higher, the better.

This is the one I have - http://www.msy.com.au/sa/elizabeth/pc-components/9863-samsung-se-208db-tsbs-external-slim-size-usb-dvd-rw.html

2x USB ports (One for Power + Operation at low burning speeds) But using included cables (having two connections for USB) it writes at a faster speed using both than using the one USB port.

thanks

External USB DVD drives are fine, and usually cheap enough $30

do you know any? make? model? 

Fair enough, was only asking... and I can't speak for the elgato, but as stated, thats my experience with the LGP.

BTW - you'll get told this eventually, quote/like someone's post for the website to notify them of a reply, otherwise I'd not have known you did reply.

lol, thanks for the tip bro

do you happen to know any good external dvd drives since my case doesn't have a slot for it and i have a few games on disk and i pre-ordered a few collector's edition games so more disks so i need something to install em with 

i did do some research, and these were the two i selected, but i needed more help, so i came here

I need a game capture card with can record at 1080p 60 FPS.

I was going for  Aver Media's LGP Lite or the normal LGP.

It's for recording on a PC by the way, since fraps has a crazy file size when recording.

I was looking at the elgato hd60 (tell me if it's good or something )

I will be playing FPS, racing, TPS, RPG, etc

I guess the Gigabyte G1 is one of the most powerfull. dunno if it fits into your 380T. 

The G1 has a triple windforce cooler if am right, so that means it'll be around the 12 inch mark and the 380t has support for 11 inch GPU's only

I really need help on this one, there are sooooo many good headsets and controllers in the market.

I was going for a steelseries h wireless and a razer sabertooth controller.

So any other suggestions?

The different aftermarket coolers doesnt matter much Unless you are overclocking.

The performance is pretty much the same.

i do plan on overclocking in the future, that is after a few months on the stock settings, when i'll need a few more horses to keep it on the bleeding edge of graphical performance

Okay, i was going to buy a Asus GTX 980 4GB for my new rig(the forum link), since there have been a ton of new cards out in the GTX 980 range, i was thinking which is more powerful and the usual stuff. And i have to fit it in a corsair 380T, so....gimme a few suggestion's
