my friend is giving me his 750ti for $25 until my birthday when I can get a rx 580 if it's out by then. He is permanently selling me his wifi card for $20. And I'm gonna get a hdd for my birthday as well. Any criticism?

Bigger SSD would be better.

You should get a bigger SSD, something like a 250GB.

Don't have the cash and all I need the ssd for is for boot and to store iTunes and like two games until I get a hdd.

Don't get the 1400, it is crap. Get a 1500X or a 1600.

What's wrong with the 1400? It's only like 10fps off average in most games than the 1600

10FPS makes a huge difference though

Looks good but let's give you a much better case for that price. And a 75Hz Freesync Monitor. And a better SSD with the money saved. Save money on the motherboard too.

It won't be 10fps on a 750 Ti or even an RX 580. That's 10fps on a 1080 / 1080 Ti. On lower-end cards there will be little difference. (Also I've yet to see a review on the R5 1400, it might behave differently due to it being a single CCX rather than 2 cut-down ones).

What? Doesn't the 1400 have 2 cut down CCXs?

Thanks. I'll probably use that mobo. But that AOC monitor isn't worth it to me. It has red accents which I don't like, it's smaller, and no speakers. Ik monitor speakers suck but it'll hold me off until I can get good speakers. And regarding freesync, I don't think it's necessary it'll force me into buying an amd card. I was planning on the 580 but who knows maybe the nVdia 11 series will be out.

I could have sworn I saw a slide where it detailed the core config for the 1500 as 2+2 and the 1400 as 4+0. Let me go look for it.

Wait, you can still use that monitor with an nvidia card lol. It just won't use adaptive refresh.

Ik but it'll tie me into using an amd card even if the nVdia is better value. The main reason I don't like it is that it's smaller, red accents, and no speakers.

Grab the monitor you wanted then. You could get speakers for the price difference though and put tape over the red bit

 

I still think you should try your best to grab the 250GB SSD, it's a loooot more space

Nope, straight from Anandtech:

Quote

We have confirmation from AMD that there are no silly games going to be played with Ryzen 5. The six-core parts will be a strict 3+3 combination, while the four-core parts will use 2+2. This will be true across all CPUs, ensuring a consistent performance throughout.

If you have a 60 hz 1080p monitor and a 75 hz freesync 1080p monitor, there's no reason to choose the 60hz as the 75 hz is better in every way. It doesn't "tie you in," it's an extra feature that doesn't do any harm at all.

 

I'd really suggest getting it but if the accents and lack of speakers really bug you that much then whatever.

I'll see if I can get the ssd it's about $20 more thr the 250 but that 20 could get me games and stuff I have none since I'm switching over from an iPad Air 2. And in a few months I'll be getting a hdd so that extra space would be wasted since all that goes on the ssd is windows and a few programs.

Well save those $20 on the case then.

Ok. Is that thermaltake case fully filtered like the Silencio? I don't want dust and my dead skin cells blowing thru my pc?
