WIll it work tho?

[Flawizz]

these are the parts that i will purchase. but i have a few questions. the mobo's x1 pcie slot is 2.0, will  TP-Link TL-WN881ND  work or does it need a 3.0 slot?

can anyone quick check if these parts are compatible, i've put them together on pcpartpicker yes, but just to be sure.

also am i missing any parts that are needed for the pc to work?

Hello.

From TP Link's website, I can see the only requirement for this adapter is PCI Express x1 slot.

So, regardless of whether your motherboard has PCI-E x1 2.0/3.0 it should work without problems.

If you search that wireless card, it'll take you to TP-Link's site, and there they mention it only requires 1x PCI 2.0, so you're fine. That wireless card should work perfectly. I would recommend you get an aftermarket CPU cooler, as the CPU you've selected as well as the motherboard allow you to overclock, I think you should take advantage of that. I'd personally recommend the be quiet! pure rock cooler.

i wont overclock, and i've heard that the stock cooler is good upto 3..8 ghz

i wouldve went for ag 4560 and msi b250m pro vd. but ive switched them out for ryzen 3 1200 with the b350m board, everything is still compatible right?

[iRileyx]

Everything is fine with that build.

 

I would suggest an SSD for your OS though, would help with boot times and general responsiveness.

hmm, maybe later, as for now an hdd is enough. never had an ssd so i dont feel the need for it rn.

one more question, since the 1050ti doesnt need a cable directly from the psu, the only things i will need to plug in from the psu are the motherboards 24pin and the hdd right?

If you're completely sure that you're not going to overclock, you could look into an A320 motherboard and save a some money. I'm not sure for about pricing in your region, but I could save something like $60 CAD going from a B350 board to an A320 one where I am. Also, the wraith stealth is quite a small cooler, so I wouldn't imagine it handling 3.8 gHz on a Ryzen chip. However I could be wrong as I haven't used a wraith stealth before. Either way, considering your current config enables overclocking, I'd take it into consideration.

You will need 24 pin for the motherboard, 4 pin power for the CPU and a sata power lead for your hard drive.

meh 488€ i got 500 so no worries, im just worried because i've never overclocked anything. so i might break stuff. but il learn how to SAFELY overclock later. only 10€ is not a big difference

hmm 4pin for the cpu FAN u mean? or the cpu itself? also im new to this and i get the drives mixed up, a sata cable from the mobo to the hdd. and cable from psu to the hdd right?

The CPU isn't powered from the 24 pin connector to the motherboard. Rather, the CPU has it's own 8 pin (I said 4 pin before, it's actually 8 pin on AM4 boards) and that 8 pin connector powers the CPU. For your hard drive, a SATA data cable will connect to your motherboard on one end and to your drive on the other, but a SATA power cable will come from your power supply, and connect to the hard drive. The SATA data cable is considerably smaller than the power cable so it should be quite clear which is which during assembly.

thanks alot, im concerned about the connectors tho, i saw that some of the squares from the 24pin have different shapes. will these match(sorry if this is a stupid question) and also what about the 8pin?

Don't worry about "stupid questions", you have to learn somehow and asking questions is the best way to do so. Usually, the connector on the motherboard and the 24 pin cable itself will have a notch that lines up on each respectively, so you know that it's facing the right direction. As you mentioned they have an assortment of different shapes so you wouldn't really be able to put the cables in the wrong way for that reason, the shapes wouldn't line up and the connector wouldn't fit. This applies to the 8 pin CPU cable as well.

wow amazing. just one last question. cpu's need drivers too right? gpu's have new drivers every 2 weeks. they need to be updated constantly but how about the cpu?

CPU's don't really need or have drivers, CPU run off of an "instruction set", and this doesn't change. I'd love to explain x86 and the extensions that come along with this chip but I don't really have the time, so long story short, CPUs don't have drivers. Ryzen does offer the Ryzen Master software for overclocking, but I wouldn't call it a driver, or even consider it necessary as overclocking through the BIOS on the motherboard is much more reliable.

think i dont need an aftermarket cooler. watching a video rn that shows jazytwocents overclocking to 3.8ghz on stock cooler and getting 58degrees on stress tests

thank you sooooo much, answered all of my questions in such a small amount of time.

yeah like he explained. the main reason that makes this obvious when you understand it is that drivers are made for the CPU to be able to communicate with stuff it's connected to. so the CPU doesn't need a translator to talk to itself, therefor no drivers. neet right
