Pre Built iBuyPower

[JayR]

Witch desktop would you choose. Should i go with AMD or Intel.

Yes I know that you can build your own for cheaper. I have a $3,000 budget on the desktop

Looking at this one, anything i need to change/customize let me know. https://www.ibuypower.com/Store/AMD-Creator-Daily-Deal

you answered the question pretty well already.. what are you trying to do with? what is the budget?

Prebuilts? Two ways to go. Boutique and upgradable or non upgradable.  Non-upgradable might as well go full Monty and get one of those SFF systems.   CorsairONE kind of thing.

 

Boutique upgradable I don’t know.  Lot of choices. IBuyPower had a funky rep after that cooler fiasco.  Not sure if iBuyPower falls into upgradable or non-upgradable.

that thing should do literally anything you throw at it, although the ram is a bit slow imo. you are spending a lot more money to get it pre-built, but if your fine with that, then go for it.

Can you explain how the ram is slow it says ddr4 32gb

Asus tuff gaming x570 is rated tier E on the motherboard tierlist.  You can fit a 3950 in it but it won’t power it reliably.  Also 3000mhz memory?

 

this is looking like a bad idea.

it's only 3000mhz, which is kinda slow at this point, especially with a 3950x.

It says ddr4 32gb 3000mhz. Ddr4 is what kind, 32gb is how much (a fairly large amount) 3000mhz is how fast.  3200 is reasonable if not quick, 3600mhz is recommended for ryzen2

would 16gb of ddr4 4000 be better than 32gb of 3200?

No, because 4000 is too fast.  There’s this weird thing about the ryzen2 infinity fabric: if it goes above 3733mhz it runs at half speed. 
 

32 of 3200 will be slower than 16gb of 3600 for anything that uses less that 16gb (which is every game ever) but faster for things that use more (like workstation stuff) kinda depends on what you are doing.

 

the aorus elite WiFi is a little more money but a much better board.  It will actually handle that 3950 without choking.

MSI mpg isn’t on the tierlist. I don’t know.  Here’s a link to the tierlist for what it’s worth

It has this card on it by default 

Onboard LAN Network (Gb or 10/100)

 

Should i change it out for this for a extra $40?

 

Intel Pro 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Network Card

I just call it the Carbon, MEG MAG are both human names, MPG is for fuel consumption. Stop this stupid ****, MSI

Not the carbon... it just cant compete with boards from Asus or Gigabyte.

Cooler and fans are acceptable, just dont overclock the CPU cores.

No. The 1000 Gigabit rating is wrong, it should be 1000 Megabit which is 1 Gigabit. So does the one for onboard, 10 megabit, 100 megabit or 1 gigabit.

 

Honestly you should only get faster LAN card when your network switch is also up there and you have something to connect that fast to (say a NAS or internet data plan).

1000mb/s. Just like the onboard one (on the X570 carbon)

Ouch.  I’m not real worried about the AIO. 240mm AIO is more or less 240mm AIO more money is mostly about less noise with those and while 140mm is probably not enough, 240 is more than enough.  Big air might also be an option but it’s not offered.  So lower end 240 AIO should be fine.  The kraken will be a bit quieter but it’s more money. 
 

im a hair worried about the PSU. 800w and 80+gold are nice and all but they don’t say whether the PSU is actually any good or not. PSU stuff is all about component safety.  If a PSU goes it can wreck your whole system. I’ll throw the PSU tierlist at you while I’m at it.

Can you explain what the AIO is and the PSU

[Bombastinator]

AIO stands for All In One. It’s a liquid closed loop cpu cooler with pump Rez and radiator in a single sealed unit.  
 

PSU stands for Power Supply Unit.  It’s the box with cables that turns wall ac into a couple different voltages of extremely even DC.  It’s got big capacitors and stuff in it and is the most physically dangerous part of the machine.  Because it supplies power to everything if it blows up (they can actually blow up or catch fire unlike the rest of the machine) it can send enough voltage to fry any component in the machine.  A good one resists doing that and has redundant protections so hat if it does fail it won’t hurt the rest of the machine when it does.   A cheap one doesn’t so it’s both more likely to fail and will do more damage if it does.

Heres my build. Ill go with the PSU that i have and upgrade it down the road. If anything goes wrong with the PC i have a year warranty ill have my psu upgraded by then.
