Build Plan Thread Recommendations (Please read before posting)

Guest

It's good to know if they have any preferences towards a company or product. That comes up pretty often when I browse through forums.

 

 

Sorry dude, there will be no biased opinions on these rigs. We should always push to what's best for the money regardless of brand fanboyism.

I have a hard time thinking that simply having a preference for a company some how constitutes a bias. The preference could in fact be based on legitimate concerns or points that do not come from fanboyism. Now, I am a newcomer, and have no experience to speak of. However, with reason, I have read a few concepts that cause me to define a preference.

One for instance would be the fact that maybe 85% of what I see posted about AMD and AMD products, including my experience using the products without knowing it, and looking back to my old laptops and realizing, the one's I've had over heating issues was with every AMD system and have not had any overheating issues with the Intel laptops, or really any at all. I can't say whether there is a direct cause or even explanation, but I do know, the average, through time(thus based on my purpose and use) AMD has given me more problem devices and machines.

On a different note, AMD has never given me an issue that is common with Intel based ones: No computer because I can't/couldn't afford to buy one! Because of AMD, I was able to have a computer at all. So I am not trying to make this about AMD or Intel at all.

But, based on initial reasoning and logic, because of AMD receiving my money for their products, seemingly better quality product producers like Intel did not share in revenue from me and as a result, it had a smaller budget to work with to produce cheaper products overall. I am not trying to make this case. Simply provide for a situation wherein a preference does not SIMPLY and ONLY come down to fanboyism

I think it's short sighted to see the preference only in such a light, although I am not trying tp take away from the point bradscoolio made, as it is a great point: Don't decisions based on brand names! But, I am trying to break free from the restrictive notion that someone can prefer a company, or even can decide to buy from one company only, and that there can not be any legitimate grounds for doing so and as a result must be characterized as having come from fanboyism. Cheers! :)

You could use this format

What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi     Source: http://www.planetminecraft.com/forums/pmc-computer-building-general-information-thread-t387346.html

Hi Mec-777

 

Thanks but oh dear, Got this from my spec on PC part picker "The Sapphire Radeon R9 390 8GB Nitro Video Card length of 308mm exceeds the Antec GX700 ATX Mid Tower Case maximum of 293mm." Is there another option? (apart from a new case)

 

 

Don't know if this will work but I think this maybe the link to my build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BkgPCJ

 

FYI - Just a tip. Next time, make sure you quote the person's post whom you are asking question of, and/or tag them by adding "@" before their name. Like this:

 

@Silk_Wisper

 

That way the person will receive a notification letting them know you've replied, quoted or tagged them in your post. Otherwise, they'll never know you had additional questions. ;)

 

As for your build and upgrades... Yeah, it looks like that Sapphire card won't fit in your case. I just assumed since it was a full tower, it would fit. There's a non-removable hard drive cage in the way and I don't think you'd be up for cutting out a section of it to make it fit. ;)

 

The Gigabyte R9 390 SOC is 243mm long and should fit just fine. It's a pretty good card as well, it just won't run quite as cool as the Sapphire or Powercolour versions.

My peripherals and moniters don't matter to me I already have them in mind and I'm not changing on them. I would just like to know if this build is good in anyway, this is my second or third build so I have a good idea of what I'm doing I would just like some opinions on the motherboard in general, I really haven't seen much on it and I don't trust people other than Linus and they haven't done a video on it. I'm doing this build for looks as well as performance. I really want the look to go together hence the motherboard being black and red same as the case and ram. Also I want to be able to use the AURA program by CableMod. Thanks guys

Hello everyone, I am new to LinusTechTips Forums, great to be here.

 

After some months due to the fact that my laptop is growing quite old I decided to finally attempt to build a desktop PC of my own. I was wondering if any one of you experienced fellows here can provide some feedback on a build that I planned recently. I currently live in the UK so its pounds for me. In regards to the aim of the machine its mostly going to involve general university work stuff such as word processing and presentations and gaming of the latest AAA titles (e.g. Witcher 3). I am willing to overclock slightly thats why I chose the i5 4690K and EVGA 650W power supply to squeeze a bit more time out of the machine. Budget is around 900-1000 UK pounds.

 

Please find attached the pc part picker link with all the parts.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fZ6BsY   Can someone Give some opinons on my build. I'm trying to keep under $750 but i don't want my pc to be underpowered due to my budget. I was aiming for an intel based cpu but the budget wouldn't allow a good Intel cpu so I'm stuck with AMD

Hey guys, I made a separate thread for this, but I'd like to get more feedback before I spend so much money.

I have two builds, this first one is going to be my personal desktop. The PC Part Picker list can be found here.  

I'm a college student, so I can get almost any Windows OS through Dreamspark.

 

For this desktop, I'm planning to use it for gaming, recording games, coding/programming, and 3D design. I plan to add another set of RAM to go to 32GB, and to add another GTX 980TI for Sli, but that can be done further on in the future (especially when Pascal comes out).

 

Alongside that, I plan on building a hybrid NAS / Render Farm server (PC Part Picker list found here).

The goal of this server is so that my friend and I can render videos on it remotely, and to store the source files and the rendered ones. The goal is also that my friend would be able to remotely run the games on that server, strwam it to his PC, and record directly to the server (he has a crappy laptop with an iGPU, and we both opted to have a storage / render server rather than purchase him a newer laptop). It will use two of these CPU coolers, this case and will use this RAID card. I also can't decide on what RAID type to use, but currently I'm choosing between RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 60. I'm leaning more towards data safety rather than performance speed, since the server will render videos overnight, so write performance isn't a huge factor. Lastly, I also plan on buying a second GTX 980TI for this server, and possibly get a second set of 64GB ECC RAM.

 

Is there anything I could improve upon in either builds?

Should I opt for 4 x 2TB drives for my server, or 8 x 1TB drives?

I think my current pc is getting way too old, so i plan on saving money to buy a new primary gaming pc. I am flexible with the budget, but i don't think i could go any more then $200(U.S).I plan on getting only 1 ultra wide monitor, but i don't know what kind yet. I already have peripherals from corsair so i don't need thing else.I would like to know if there is anything wrong with it, since this the first build I've ever done,yet i think everything is fine I'm just double checking.I would like suggestions to make it better performance wise.

 

1.Case= NZXT Noctis 450

$139

 

2.Motherboard=ASUS Z170-Deluxe

$299

 

3.CPU=Intel Core i7-6700K

$369

 

4.Ram=Hyper X Fury DDR4 2666 16GB(2x8GB) or (4x4GB) which ever performs faster

$85

 

5.GPU=EVGA GeForce GTX 980ti SC+Gaming with ACX 2.0

$649

 

6.PSU=Corsair RM850X 

$119

 

7.CPU Cooler=Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX

$104

 

8.Case Fans X4=Corsair Air Series AF120mm LED Quiet Edition

$43

 

9.SSD=Samsung 850 EVO 2.5" 500GB

$149

 

10.Hard Drive=WD Black 2TB Desktop Hard Drive

$122

 

This comes to a cost of $2,158

I'm planning on build like a workstation more than a server rig. And I decide to go with the Gigabyte MW50-SV0 motherboard, why, cause at the moment that I know off, is the only single CPU motherboard w/ C612 chipset that support the e5 2696 Xeon CPU that I own. I can received feedback from other brand. Also the other reason is time for me to test the CPU that I own, beside that I don't have to much of experience building server rigs I will like the opinion and advice from others on this 2 hardware match that I have done so far to use with this CPU. One the motherboard describe above and this Ram Kit KVR21R15D4K4/64, can any one confirm if this ram kit will work as quad channel on this type of motherboard. I want to get a best performance kit for this CPU, beside that I know that the ram is 2133 and the CPU can handle 2400Mz ram, most 2400Mz ram that have seen are Cas 17, the 2133 most are Cas 15. So the main question here is, are this kit quad channel? will I get the best performance having this kit setup as a quad channel on this mobo thanks for any advice.

MB: ASUS X99-Deluxe Bios 2001, CPU: I7 5960X @4.5Ghz(1.275V), GPU: EVGA 980HC @1578MhzBC, BD: Intel NVMe750(400GB), OS: Windows 8.1Pro(UEFI mode)

Reason for upgrading: I am currently using a Lenovo y50, it's a great machine, but I pre-ordered the Oculus Rift, and my y50 can't handle it. My Oculus arrives in July and my birthday is also in July, so I'll likely by parts around then.

 

I live in the US (so USD). 

 

I use a Dell u2410 as my monitor, though I do want room to add more monitors. I definitely want thunderbolt too. I also want room  to add an rgb led strip (~$30 usd)

 

Here is my parts list:

PCP: http://bit.ly/23oXEhp

CPU:  Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor

CPU Cooler:  Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

Memory:  Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

Case:  Cooler Master MasterCase 5 ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Suply:  EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

I figured I'd make this thread to make life easier for people to give advice and feedback on your proposed system. If you add these simple answer it means we don't have to ask you all this before we can give you answers :)

1. Budget & Location

You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

2. Aim

What is the system going to be used for? Web browsing, 3D work? Different systems need different levels of performance - a computer based for web browsing and office use won't handle heavy graphic design and video editing and a proper video editing system isn't good for gaming. If your aim is for gaming, please list what sort of gaming. In the same way that different usage types need different systems, you'll need a lot more power to run Far Cry 3 or Crysis 2 than you would Minecraft.

3. Monitors

How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals

Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

Please copy and paste the major dot points into your thread as it makes it easier for us to give you better feedback.

Have fun and keep building :)

Ok so i want to build a unit thats great for gaming, broadcasting game play, and editing clips. Budget is 1000-2000 $US willing to go over if benefit outweighs cost. I want dual monitors ,resolution i need advice for games. Mmo, far cry, i pretty much play anygame that looks interesting to me. Upgrading, because i unfortunately have come to realize i love bulding cool stuff and making it my own and gaming, pc building combines both. But im a noob who probably posted this in the wrong spot.

Hello internet,

I am definitely new to PC building and would love some help. I have found other builds online that appear to be great for what I plan on doing. I plan to mostly use it for gaming, a little bit of video editing, and web browsing. I don't NEED to be able to use the Ultra graphics at 9000fps features either. I will only be using one monitor also. I would Like to have a $750-$900(US) budget on just the computer hardware. Not including the OS or any peripherals like mouse, keyboard or monitor. I also plan on building a case myself, with no take from the budget.

Features that seem ideal for me:

-Support for 2 graphics cards if I wish to upgrade in the future. (I think this is called SLI)

-CPU hyperthreading (I think this is good for video editing but not necessary if multiple cores?)

-16GB RAM (even though it seems that most PCs can barely make use of 12GB)

- At least 3TB of storage

 

My build so far:

 

-Motherboard-

MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.1 ATX Motherboard 

Link: http://amzn.com/B00K23BW70

 

-CPU-

Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150 

Link: http://amzn.com/B00KPRWB9G

(no hyperthreading but 4 cores)

 

-Graphics Card-

EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked 3GB GDDR5 384bit

Link: http://amzn.com/B00CTY84KI

 

-RAM-

Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s 

Link: http://amzn.com/B006YG9EEW

 

-Storage-

Seagate 3TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive

Link: http://amzn.com/B005T3GRLY

 

-Power Supply-

Corsair CX Series, CX750 Power Supply, Semi-Modular, 80+ Bronze Certified

Link: http://amzn.com/B00ALK3KEM

 

-Disc Drive-

Samsung 24X SATA DVD Internal Drive

link:  http://amzn.com/B00CAP9VJ4

 

-no SSD yet...

 

What do you think?

Corsair red led fans - already have

 

Planning top add another 980 ti later and maybe a custom loop, depending on what radiators I can fit I may not include the 980 ti's. Also can't decide between windows 7 and 10

 

Also, can a 280 rad go in the top of the 400c? I want an owners opinion

Building new PC, primarily gaming, video stuff, etc. so looking to build something decently powerful. I already have a HDD and video card I'll be using from my old rig, so won't need those along with any peripherals.

 

I'm looking to spend around 900$, and have been thinking of a sky lake build. Any recommendations for parts considering what I'll use it for/cost efficiency would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

I'm looking to spend around 900$, and have been thinking of a sky lake build. Any recommendations for parts considering what I'll use it for/cost efficiency would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

i would add a hdd later

Hi, I am a newcomer and I wanted to test my plan for a gaming and pro PC: PC Part Picker.

1. Budget & Location

I planned a budget of 3000$ in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

2. Aim

I want to use this PC for gaming, virtualisation and software development.

3. Monitors

I already have two computer 1080p screens.

4. Peripherals

I already have a keyword and a wireless mouse. I plan to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard.

5. Why are you upgrading?

My present PC is not up to the task to play games I want to.

Edited by CodeBeast357
Still need to evaluate what I really want.
