New build (first time)

[Frank10]

Hello ! 

 

IT Fest is about to begin in my country in sinagpore and computer parts prices will drop. Here is a PC that i frankenstein with the suggestions from my other thread. Are there better options than what I have picked? 

 

Another question. Is it possible to use my hard drive from my older computer so that I don't have to buy a drive and windows?

 

Will I be required to buy other stuff like more fans and or thermal paste ?

What's wrong with the GPU? GTX 1060 6GB performs similarly with RX 580 8GB

 

Also why suggest AIO when it doesn't provide any significant better temp?

if he can find it the same price as i do then he wins 2gb vram

[.:Wumbo:.]

For the harddrive, you can get a 3tb Seagate Barracuda for less. It works great, I have one and I love it. Just use an SSD for a boot drive. Speed matters for booting

which won't change anything since he'll be gaming at 1080p. just let him live with his intel and nVidia choices they aren't bad and going for AMD in this case means having to deal with extra fiddling for the CPU (not recommended for a novice imo) and banking on Dx12 and Vulkan support in game (which will come, but isn't here yet)

 

your build is fine man go for it you'll be happy

Definitely go with the AquaChanger considering you have an unlocked CPU

K series.

 

But seriously throw your Intel plans out the window and get a Ryzen.

lol no, the RX 580 is much more expensive here, not worth it.

Wasn't the consensus that Intel CPU was better for gaming?

Very slightly.

 

But the problem is LGA1151 is a dead socket. AM4 will be used for the next 4 years so you have a upgrade path. And better minimums. (important for less suttering)

they're around the same for gaming, but the 1600 is much better for multitasking.

1600. If you overclock you can get it to 1600x speed really easily.

 

Yes the use a different socket:

AM4:

LGA1151:

6GB VRAM is perfectly fine, the extra 2GB is worth nothing
