guys is this the best build for 1100 cad, help me out please

any new build with an FX CPU is a bad build.

FX CPUs should have been discontinued long ago, and are utter trash.

 

one sec, I'll make you a better build.

Any reason for a $300 monitor, when you can get 1080p 60Hz for half that price.

Didn't think of that in my build. Could probs get a better GPU or CPU or RAM with the money saved.

I did not include an SSD, and I recommend you add that in later. to make this easier, make a 200GB os partition on your HDD, and another 800GB - install the OS on the 200GB, and it will be easy to transfer later.

I opted for a lower gpu since it's pretty much impossible to find anything better in stock unless you start looking at 1080s. I went for a freesync monitor to go with it.

 

If it matters to you you can get this monitor to go with it instead, its va so better colors.

Nope it's out of stock. They list it as "back order" and stuff, aka they don't have it in stock but if you order it they'll order it from the manufacturer which means it'll take a long time to get to you.

 

Either that or its code word for out of stock as maybe you'll order it from them and they can't get it from the manufacturer.

damn, didn't notice.

 

so put a 1060 in the build I originally suggested. - it may be over budget by $40, but it's worth it for a powerful GPU

Mind linking one that's actually in stock?

 

I'm looking at a few right now and I'm having a hard time finding even a 1060 that's in stock. The miners are onto Nvidia too now...

 

Shoprbc is out, whenever you go there there's a little thing that pops up at the top saying that all 1060s are out of stock and they won't backorder em.

@RadiatingLight ok I think I found one. There's only 5 left in stock though so they might be gone soon...

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/offer-listing/B01IA9FEOO/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

 

EDIT: so now it's between cheaper freesync lower gpu or more expensive much better GPU no freesync.

 

I'd probably go your build since 1060 can probably max out 1080p 60fps for the most part.

Mind linking one that's actually in stock?

 

I'm looking at a few right now and I'm having a hard time finding even a 1060 that's in stock. The miners are onto Nvidia too now...

 

Shoprbc is out, whenever you go there there's a little thing that pops up at the top saying that all 1060s are out of stock and they won't backorder em.

holy macaroni!

I'd advise OP to wait for everything to die down, but it doesn't seem like the bubble is going to pop anytime soon... so either a 1050Ti or waiting a while.

I'm actually so triggered by miners right now lol. It's pretty much impossible for most pc people to get a good pc right now because it's impossible to find the most commonly used GPUs on the market in stock.

Do note that I did find one though.

did it for freesync, I would much rather take freesync+lower gpu than better GPU+no freesync

Why?

a 1050Ti can run AAA games at 60FPS at 1080p. I'd much rather have a GPU that can hold a steady 60FPS with Vsync, rather than a GPU that can't and compensates for it with adaptive refresh rate.

 

although I've never used adaptive refresh rate, so take everything I say with that in mind. maybe I'm underestimating Free/G-sync

Well, I'll love them in a few months, where you will be able to find an RX 480 for $100, when these miners who bought 4 of them at $350 realize that they'll never pay for themselves, and desperately try to mitigate their losses. (or just when the mining bubble pops)

 

but TBH yea, it really sucks that midrange PCs are impossible to build nowadays.

Not at maxed settings though. With freesync you'd be able to crank up settings a bit without worrying about tearing or stuttering. Yes you'd be getting a bit lower fps but if it's dipping into the 50s or high 40s will you notice that much?

 

That's just my opinion tho, I personally can't stand tearing or stuttering whereas dips at times is ok.
