Posted June 23, 2019 Hey everyone! Just wanted your opinion on this PC Parts Picker build I did. I'm wondering if everything will be compatible with each other? I've never built a PC before so my skills are lacking. Feel free to suggest changes! I'm all ears! Thanks a bunch for any help!

Posted June 23, 2019 New ryzen parts hit store shelves 7/7, worth the wait in my opinion I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Unless you're looking at the used market, the RX 590 is a solid choice for that price. print "Hello World!" ("Hello World!") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 23, 2019 If you want to save some money, you can get Ryzen 1600 for as low as 80$ (MicroCenter) and around 110-130$ at places like Amazon. It's maybe 95-98% of the performance of a Ryzen 2600 but you're saving 50$+ Spend maybe 20-30$ more on the motherboard... a higher end B450 or x470 motherboard will be more "compatible" with 3rd generation Ryzens (Ryzen 3xxx series), they'll get more frequent BIOS updates, their VRM will be slightly better quality so capable of better handling 12 core or even 16 core Ryzen 3xxx (if you'll decide to upgrade)... See maybe Gigabyte - B450 AORUS ELITE or ASRock - X470 Master SLI/AC or MSI - X470 GAMING PLUS RX 590 is not worth it... it's like an overclocked RX 580, which you can buy for around 160-180$. A RX 580 8GB is good up to 1440p 60fps. Power supply is a good choice. The SSD is an OK choice, but it's only SATA (up to 550 MB/s) so you can do slightly better in that price range... for example 80$ for ADATA XPG Gammix S5 (512 GB with NVME pci-e x4 in M.2 so you take advantage of those pci-e lanes coming from cpu) : https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07K8W69CQ/ Another decent option is HP EX900 500 GB M.2 pci-e x4 for ~85$ : https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/7stQzy/hp-ex900-500mb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-2yy44aaabc Yes, you should wait until the 7th because you may get some sales on Ryzen 2xxx processors and maybe some sales/discounts on B450/X470 boards.

Posted June 23, 2019 ok, here we go... the stuff i would change CPU: Better to wait for 3rd gen Ryzen, and then mobo as well probably OS: "Pirate Windows" from a USB and get the product key online for much less money, or use linux. the os on pcpartpicker is not good to buy from. PSU: Don't need 650W for such a build, 550 is enough. Look for 100 more than your TDP with at least bronze certification. GPU is overpriced, look for a cheaper 590.

I would look more at something like this for a healthy FPS per $ ratio: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/product/rKgzK8/powercolor-radeon-rx-580-8gb-video-card-axrx-580-8gbd5-3dhdv2oc Similar performance class to the more expensive refresh - RX 590; unless you really feel you need more FPS (depends on the target FPS and resolution of your monitor) in which case I'd aim higher than the RX 590, at that point you're looking at RX 2060 Super or Vega 56/64 (if a deal can be found), or even wait for Navi RX 5700.

Given that an RTX 2060 is in the 450-550 CAD range, I really doubt that the SUPER variant is going to be that much less on launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine sounds like a jet taking off. (And it's not defective, it's just a poor cooling unit.) A reasonable cooled RX 580 (8GB PULSE) is only about $50 CAD less than a rather nice cooler unit on a 590 (Nitro+) and only about 20 CAD less than this rather nice (albeit a single fan unit) EVGA Black Gaming 1660. I'd argue that for price to performance, the 1660 is going to take the cake currently. (approximate match to the RX 590, solid cooler unit, only ~$20 CAD more than a decent cooler RX 580 unit.)

Ahh, go figure there's another cheap cooler that is as deceiving as the MSI Armor series. One glance and I presume it's better than a blower and on-par with other 2-fan models since it's got a big heatsink with dual-fan, but those fans are noisy even during average speeds eh? Also go figure as I didn't realize the RX 590 doesn't even beat the 1660, let alone the gap the 1660 Ti creates before you hit Vega 56-level performance. Perhaps the 1660 is the best-buy here (not to mention easier to cool with 1 fan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the 1660 is the best-buy here (not to mention easier to cool with 1 fan). Generally it's 580 < 1660 ~ 590 < 1660 Ti though of course there are games that prefer either or. In U.S. pricing currently the Ti rivals the 570 in p2p (it costs much more, but performs much more.) Based on current Canadian sales it's gotta be the 1660. I think the "Red Devil" cooler by Powercolor is a bit better, but I dont think any of their offerings are a great option if you care about noise. I dont think the one listed throttles performance, but I would never try to OC mine, since just normal boost clock ramps the fans up so hard. Armor is interesting because the Armor series are great coolers for higher end nVidia cards. The AMD cards just heat differently. The ROG Strix coolers have all sorts of thermal problems despite being very high end designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
