Budget (including currency): as close to or under £400 as possible. Great British Pounds (£) Country: United Kingdom Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CoD:MW/ColdWar (and new, subsequent releases), CSGO, Cities Skylines, Sims 4 and some indie games like House Flipper and BeamNG + Automation etc 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): My current rig is in my sig but to simplify here is a basic overview; i7 2700k @ 4.6Ghz cooled by a Corsair 110GT 16GB Corsair Dominator RAM 1600Mhz Asus P8-Z77 LX Motherboard Zotac GTX 1070 Mini Acer 144Hz Monitor 1080p (planned upgrade to an 200hz 3440p Ultrawide in a few years.) So, here goes; I've still got a 10 year old CPU. She's needing retirement (or re-homing from daily use to my GFs updated system) and I'm going back to team red. Below the PartPicker BBs explains in more detail. I've got two distinct but very different PCPartpicker lists; PCPartPicker Part List CPU: *AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor (£116.40 @ Alza) Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (£96.22 @ CCL Computers) Memory: *Patriot Viper Steel 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory (£59.16 @ More Computers) Storage: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£47.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Gigabyte P GM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£84.10 @ SmartTeck.co.uk) Total: £403.87 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-12-16 02:37 GMT+0000 Above with a Ryzen 3 3100 and a B550 Mobo and below with a R5 1600AF and a B450 Mobo. PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 (12nm) 3.2 GHz 6-Core Processor (£114.40 @ Alza) Motherboard: ASRock B450 Steel Legend ATX AM4 Motherboard (£87.38 @ CCL Computers) Memory: *G.Skill Ripjaws V 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory (£104.13 @ Newegg UK) Storage: Crucial P2 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (£47.99 @ Amazon UK) Power Supply: Gigabyte P GM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (£84.10 @ SmartTeck.co.uk) Total: £438.00 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available *Lowest price parts chosen from parametric criteria Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-12-16 02:39 GMT+0000 The 6-Core system is more expensive overall, but I can bite that cost for the extra cores. My point in even making this post is; whats better? I am using a decade old (almost) CPU now, that feels like it's on it's last legs 1.4v for a good 5 years of me owning it has taken it's toll. I don't upgrade that often. Sill using a 240GB Samsung 840EVO SSD that was in the system when I paid my friend £300 for the thing about 5 years ago. What's going to last longer? A Ryzen 3 CPU with a 7nm process or a Ryzen 5 with a 14nm process? I'm still on bloody 32nm. This is a large purchase for me and I really don't want to waste money on it. It'll be paired with a GTX1070 for a good year or more, until I save enough for a new GPU (and when you can actually buy one) and subsequently a new Ultrawide monitor. I'd be aiming for a theoretical RTX4070 I hope, or maybe a 4060Ti, heck, even an RX7700 XT! Other info; Why is there an SSD and a PSU here? Simple answer is, because, I can? Also I want a better storage solution to this old SSD. Maybe it ends up in my GFs system. The PSU is because this one is nearing 7 years old and it's an older OCZ ZT Series unit, which scares me a lot. I've added a 750w unit because I have PSU anxiety so more is better(?) and I feel more comfortable with a higher wattage and having to spend an extra £20 on that. This AsRock B450 motherboard is stated on their site to support Ryzen 5000 series. Once the prices drop in a few years time I'm likely to simply buy a 2nd hand (or old-stock) R7 5800X or R9 5900X and run that setup with a 360mm RAD or NH-D14/15. Also, my current setup is 3 monitors. My Acer is over DVI, the Samsung is over HDMI and the Logik TV uses VGA which uses ASUS's very clever dual iGPU and main GPU system. How would I run all these monitors at once from a new PC without any onboard video from the MoBo/CPU - the TV does have HDMI in but I use that for my Roku streaming box and it would be more a first-world-problem than an actual issue to just unplug and plug in the cables every new and again. Would buying some cheap but very low power Nvidia GPU like a GT210 make sense to just have a VGA port for the TV, or am I being over-complicated for no reason? Thanks for reading this poorly written ramble-fest. It's 3am. - Dylan

The gorgeous Ncase M1 packed with a GTX 1080 Waterforce and a 2700k -
Alas, my dear 2700k.. You have served me well but she's showing her age now. With a 2070 Super due to arrive tomorrow I think it'll be too much. i.e bottleneck anyhow! The lowdown: I play AAA titles at 1080p and I have recently got back into twitch streaming! looking to upgrade CPU means I will have to make the jump to DDR4 meaning new CPU Mobo and RAM so my real question is, Streaming/gaming CPU what are your recommendations? 3700x worth it? or does the Intel 9700k IPC performance still prevail in gaming? I do like the prospect of 16 Ryzen threads for streaming and multi-tasking ( of which there will be a lot of) Or is it worth the jump upto Ryzen 9? please throw me your CPU and/or Mobo recommendations current setup: Usage - 1080p Gaming + Twitch streaming. i7 2700k @4.5GHz 16GB Corsair vengeance DDR3 @1866 Asus P8Z77-WS Board GTX980 X2 (RTX2070 Super arrives tomorrow!) Sabrent NVMe 256GB boot drive 3X WD green 1TB drives for games Corsair Spec-06 Case Future upgrades? Looking to move to 1440p high refresh or 4K 60Hz on my Primary display - 1080p on secondary (twitch monitor) new board opens up more NVMe expension so replace HDDs with 1TB nvme instead. thanks guys, stay safe!

To say the topic is controversial or hotly debated would be an understatement, but here I am looking for advice anyway. I am looking to upgrade my i7 2700k system in the near future as my motherboard has been exhibiting some weird issues lately and seems to be on its last legs. It's not urgent yet but I know enough to know that I should perhaps start backing up my data and preparing. The million dollar question is the following: Should I get the 7700k or the Ryzen 1600(x)/1700 My needs are mostly for gaming with perhaps the occasional streaming opportunity but primarily targeted at gaming. I have concerns on both sides and that is what makes me hesitant about pulling the trigger. 1) Intel's IPC increases have been very minimal and clock for clock I am only looking at 20% increase (maybe) @ 4.5Ghz on both platforms. 2) The Kaby Lake CPU suffers from poor temps as soon as you start overclocking it. 3) AMD Ryzen is still plagued by poor memory support or rather poor memory overclocking with Gskill Flare-X being the only one that's the most stable at the moment 4) A Ryzen system would not be cheaper for me in my country (Taiwan) as currently most parts are at least 20% more expensive than US, Flare-X memory especially (200+ USD) I wonder if my money would not be better spent perhaps getting a 1440p 165hz Gsync Monitor for around the same cost. My current system: i7 2700k @ 4.5Ghz 16gb Kingston DDR3-2400 (2133 effective) MSI Z77a-GD65 Motherboard Corsair RM650W PSU MSI GTX 1070 Sea Hawk Thanks in advance!

So I was thinking of messing around with my CPU voltages (mainly thinking of undervolting a bit) but when I fired up Intel XTU, there were no options for adjusting core VID. (Screenshot attached) I also tried throttlestop and couldn't find any voltage adjustment settings either. Am I doing something wrong? OS: Windows 10 Pro CPU: i7-2700K GPU: GTX 1080 MOBO: Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1866

Hello guys! I currently have this setup -i7 2600 -Corsair Vengeance 4x4 16gb 1600mhz -XFX R9 270X 2GB (using x2 6pin) -Sentey Arvina -Asus P8Z68-V LE -Cooler Master 212 EVO -x3 1tb WD Caviar Black -120gb SSD Kingston I'm really comfy with this setup for gaming and renders, i'm about to replace the gpu with a MSI 980 and the ram for x4 8gigs Crucial Ballistix Tactical Sticks, but what about the CPU? I have the non K version of it and i'm wiling to upgrade it to either 2600k, 2700k or 3770k. Which one do you guys recommend? Thanks!

Hi guys first time posting in this forum, So I have this i7 2700k for 4 years now and it starts to show its age, so I decided to get à P67 board to overclock it (I bought the Rattler p67 as it is the only sandybridge mobo available in my country right now). But in the bios I can't seem to find any option to cpu overclocking other than raising the mobo BCLK (and even though, I tried messing up with it and it didn't show any results) nor the physical OC buttons did anything. And lastly, I precise that the latest bios is installed on the board. Any help will be much appreciated.

This is my current build. OS: Windows 7 Home 64 bit MB: Gigabyte Z68MX-UD3H-B3 Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2700k LGA 1155 CPU Cooler: Hyper 212+ SSD: Crucial M4 256GB SSD Memory: Corsair Vegence DDR3 1600 4x4GB GPU: EVGA 680 GTX Reference PSU: PC Power and Cooling Silencer 910W Case: Cooler Master 690 Advanced II Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2412M (24inch IPS 1080p) So I know my current rig is pretty old. I built this back in 2011ish and I have not had the time to really upgrade it and did not see it being worthwhile to spend lots of money to upgrade. This computer is used for some moderate gaming + a bit of moderate video editing. At some time I will probably add in another monitor or go 1440p dual monitor setup. I'm thinking of making the following upgrades right off the bat (they are bolded) OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit MB: Gigabyte Z68MX-UD2H-B3 Processor: Intel Core i7 - 2700k LGA 1155 CPU Cooler: Hyper 212X SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB Memory: Corsair Vegence DDR3 1600 4x4GB GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW or SC PSU: EVGA SuperNova 650 G2 Case: Cooler Master Mastercase 5 Pro Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp U2515H (single monitor setup for now but dual in a few months time) . (25inch 1440p IPS) I have seen tons of back and forth and debates regarding status of 2500k but have not seen much about 2700k. Is it worth upgrading to the 6700k from my current setup? Or should I wait about half a year or so and see what is going with the next architecture? If I hit up 6700k, I would need to buy new MB, New CPU, new ram which could be a rather expensive 600-800 USD upgrade that I am not willing to spend right now. I only got the 2700k because I got a really good deal via Intel's program (iirc around $100 USD) So what do you think about current upgrades to extend the life of my desktop and what would you do?

So I just built a 2700k system and overclocked it to 4.8GHZ. When I go to stress test it, after 1-2 min, the clocks and voltage drop to stock 3.5Ghz. 1) 2) 3) Anyone know what's going on? Thermal throttling is turned off, all c states are disabled, power option is set to high performance, and speed step is off. If you think it's cause the Tcase of 72 C on the 2700k, I had the drop happening when the max temps were only 60C thanks to the low ambient temp in my basement.

First of all, please believe me when I say I tried to research first about this topic, I even searched the linustechtips forum and teksyndicate forum, but all I found are benchmarks using a benchmarking softwares and gaming benchmarks, I never seen any thread about streaming and video editing (maybe because it's an old cpu, I dunno). So I have an old P67 built PC without a cpu laying around. So I thought I might be able to use it as a dedicated streaming pc or video editing pc. So I scoured the internet (amazon and ebay LOL coz its the whole internet for me) for an affordable cpu, and I found a deal for both i7 2700K and 3770K (it's a deal for me at least considering how much they cost when they first arrived here in japan). 2700K = $200(ish) / ¥19,000 3770K = $290(ish) / ¥29,000 Considering the benchmarks I saw, I prefer the 2700K price-wise but when it comes to what I intended for the cpu, if the 3770K could do better then I would go for the 3770K instead. Any suggestion? Anyone? Maybe a rendering benchmarks? If you could provide? EDIT: I wanna stream using this settings: 1080p @ 60fps... I have a gigabit internet so upload isn't going to be a problem...

Hi So iv played witcher 3 for about 74 hours with a 970 and i7 2700k@4.4. The whole time it was at 40 fpss, but there were a couple of game sensations were it was @ 60-70 fps. When i lower the graphic options from ultra to low there is no difference. Its been bugging me for a while and until now i havent found a fix for this problem. Btw last ran the game on version 1.06

So, I'm about to water cool for the first time, and I want to do it without any compromises, for the most part! I just bought a Corsair 760T and a GTX 970. I'm keeping my old trusty Intel i7-2700K CPU, and will just overclock once I get it water cooled. The 760T supports a triple 120mm up top, and a double 140mm in front, so I was planning to run a 360mm and 280mm rad respectively on those spots. Now, what I need help with is picking the best parts and pieces. I've got a budget of about $1K, so compromises on cost shouldn't be an issue for the most part. So far, the only part I've ordered is the CPU block, I got the EK Supremacy EVO on the way. What I still need suggestions for: Rads: 360mm and 280mm GPU block: Is there even a block out yet for the 970? RAM block: for aesthetics for the most part. Pump: I want the best Silence to Performance possible! Reservoir: Please suggest some nice looking reservoirs or the types the integrate with the pump (granted the pump meets the above requirements). Fittings: Best compression fittings out there please, and angled fittings too. I want my setup to look really crisp. Tubing: I want clear tubing. What's the best out there? Coolant: I want the coolant to be clear as well, and let the lights do the work. Should I use water or an actual coolant? Lighting: I want my system to be a White/Silver themed build. What would be the best lights for this? If you look at pictures of the white 760T, you'll see the fans in the front are illuminated. What color are those? They seem bluish, but not that dark of a blue, more like a whitish blue. I want my light to be that color! Please let me know if you know where I can get those kinds of lights! Anything else I'm missing? Please let me know! I'm sure you can all tell I'm really excited about this build, and I appreciate any help from you all! *Update* I bought most of all the parts now, can you guys let me know what you think? Rads: Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 360mm and Alphacool NexXxoS Monsta Radiator 280 GPU block: I'm gonna wait for EK to come out with this one. RAM block: Took everyones advice and went EK monarch Pump and Reservoir: went with a combo on this one, XSPC D5 Photon 270 Reservoir/ D5 Vario Pump Combo Fittings: I was surprised at how expensive the compression fittings were, so I decided to wait till I have all the parts first and have a good visual on what kinds of fittings I need before I buy them. I dont want to buy too many, or buy regular ones when I would want 90 or 45 degree ones.

Hello all! I was just sitting here pondering the web, and I found an interesting post referring to the 2700k. Now I know my differences between i5 and i7, but I haven't really thought much about the 2700k and such. 1.What are the differences between a CPU like the 2700k and a 4670k or a 4770k? 2.What are they made for individually? 3.What do they do for gaming? 4.Why does the 2700k exist? (Kind of tied in with Q.2) If you guys could answer, that would be great ! I like to keep educated, and I wanted to know some information.

I put this in off topic as i thought it is a bit of a noobish question :P you can move if you like Taken it old school :P So I am looking at a 2700k (for reasons i will get into in a second.) But i saw that a 3770k is the same price and it also has 1 or 2 things that interest me (Again i will get into detail) now haswell is out of the picture (Again) so can 3770k's OC as well as 2700k's can? I know a few people on the forum who say they have there 2700k's at 5ghz and beyond and still run decent temps. Reasons im looking at 2700k is because: Its a good chip Runs cooler than ivy and haswell under clock Hell of a overclocker Games arent CPU intensive anymore and I feel silly saying "I need the newest best PC and the newest CPU is what makes it better" if that makes sense. Reasons I like the 3770k: Im thinking of POSSIBLY Removing the IHS and it is heaps easier with ivy than it is with sandy but its not impossible on sandy. Same price If it can OC the same why not? and its easier to remove the IHS Reasons why Haswell is out of the picture: (Some may not agree but its what i chose) Hot Not that good of a overclocker Chips arent consistent (One isnt the same as the other so you never know what you might get) Ram speed problems (Ive heard a few complaints that if you OC haswell you cant get your ram above 1333mhz) I would need a new MB So What should i do? 3770k or 2700k?

ok i have been looking at sandy bridge cpus for some time now and all of a sudden i started seeing a I7 2700k cpu but why make the 2700k when there is already a I7 2600k cpu? don't mean to sound like a noob but can some help me understand?
