okay, and what about the meme you keep spouting that only a retard would spend more than $1000 on parts, when the graphics card alone would cost around that much?

Literally buy the board with the pluggy thingy that has the same letters as the pluggy doo-dad on the graphics card.

It's that easy. You don't even need to know what the letters mean.

I've been building PCs for years, and haven't had problems like this since the late 90s, when shit genuinely was more complex and easier to get wrong. Unless you've done 0 research, it is just a case of plugging stuff in and turning it on now.

I have a friend that never touched the insides of a computer ever . not the components nothing. Works in A/C installation and cars on the side.

Built his first PC on his own(to be fair he used a pcpartpicker list I provided) and his only problem was installing windows

literally installing windows was his biggest problem

not the installing the fan for the CPU or the cables from the case not even the wiring in general(which was very impressive for a first timer desu)

it was installing fucking windows

Pretty sure every modern graphics card is compatible with a modern motherboard

>being so retarded that they can't even check part compatibility
do you have to use sticky notes to remind yourself to breathe? how can you be this stupid? most websites (newegg, pcpartpicker) check the compatibility for you

I have an MSI B450 Gaming Pro and I got a Radeon RX 580. Shit is literally too big to fit in.

>You don't even need to know what the letters mean
I sure in the fuck don't. I just looked for a mobo that had a socket for my CPU. Then when I later found a graphics card that looked good, I checked to see if the board had a slot for it.
This isn't rocket science.

Yes, that's my point. I'm in my 30s now, I remember getting into gaming and building when I was 13/14, and having to fanny around for ages just to change a single component. Now, it honestly is a case of just putting stuff together. Unless, of course, you're a retard and buy "a motherboard" and "a cpu" without checking they're compatible... but you wouldn't do that, would you user?

You're going to be spending upwards of over a grand if you were to buy a really good laptop or desktop PC which are less modular and less upgradable so you'd be better off spending more and taking the time to learn how to build yourself.

Theres back panels you remove in the case to fit it in cuz its where all the display ports are.

uhhh what. isnt PCI-E standard at this point.

cut it off, it's obviously defective from the factory.

At this day and age, there's no fucking reason you should end up in this kind of situation, unless you purposely don't bother doing even the most minuscule research and at that point you've got no one to blame, but yourself.

what should he do instead?

send it back so they can do it themselves and then pay for shipping and not have the card for a load of time for something he can do in seconds himself?

you're a faggot.

They both require a PSU nigger. There's no way one worked on your machine and the other didn't. Either you just got a faulty RX 580 or are a complete retard.

valid assessment, you couldnt even tell what was blocking it which should have been obvious

I gotta be honest, when I got my 2600x, I was struggling to put on the CPU fan because the screws were being a pain in the ass for some reason. Then had almost had a heart attack when I checked my CPU temp and it was 100 celcius, only to realize speccy was completely fucking wrong afterwards and I took it apart and rebuilt it for no reason. Other than that, it was easy as hell for my first build, especially with the hundreds of YouTube videos online

I literally just built my first pc 5 days ago. Picking the parts was unironically one of the easier things.Just use pcpartpicker and ask /pcbg/ if you need help with anything.

Is it a good time to build a PC currently? I remember a couple years back when bitcoin mining was hot GPUs were mega overpriced for example

I built the PC I'm using now in 2010 and barely anything runs on it anymore, but if the current gen parts are bad/overpriced I could hold out for a year or so to see if things are better

this isn't a thing, at all, the only time this was ever a thing was when AGP was a thing, are you posting from 1997?

I honestly got this far. Literally did my research. Purchased parts that make this build into a high-end gaming rig. Had no issues putting it all together with the help of vids and everything...and THAT is what gave me the most issue. Damn.

And suddenly I understand why consoles are do popular.

Really? This normally isn't an issue.
Nano ITX and shit doesn't count.

My PC still has trouble booting and has done since I built it and I have no idea why

But it’s probably that since I just picked parts from logical increments and went to it

Best to wait for Zen 2 CPUs. RAM should be even cheaper by then too. GPU ate unlikely to be priced much better any time soon thanks to miners and Novideo's price inflation.

Just buy prebuilt bro if you get a good deal its like 100-200 more than building yourself and you can watch all the mustard race's short circuit trying over $100

it's never a good time to build a PC, there are only bad times and wait times. If you wanna wait, then wait, better stuff will come out the longer you wait, if you want something now then build it now.

If you want a metric you can use the 10 year rule, if your machine is 10 years old upgrade it today, or use the console release schedule metric, build something 3 years into a console cycle and you should be fine and it should put you onto the 10 year metric.

Hey, I still had an AGP x8 GPU back when Splinter Cell: Double Agent launched and that was in 2006. I only switched to PCI-E in 2009. Being a slav is hard, everything is so expensive.

>easy
>read info before you start

Fucking brainlet

here, had those same exact problems, lmao. Nearly had a heart attack when I first saw the cpu temp, and was worried I had fucked something up while trying to screw in that damned fan.
I immediately turned it off and should have probably kept it off until I had opened the case again, but I checked the temps in the bios and it was back to normal. Doing that probably saved me a good headache in the long run until I would have just looked up the issue in a hour or two and realized speccy was just being fucking retarded.

Ok, thanks mate. So mid-late 2019 would be a good time then? And since I'm a budget fag I'll get a previous gen CPU for cheap probably

>xfx
enjoy your faulty hardware.

PC's are just too expensive. an xbox or ps4 is like $300 max and you only need a new one every 8 years

a PC is going to be like $1000-$2000 if you want to play all modern games at max settings and even then you'll need to upgrade it every 2-3 years.

>inb4 'b-b-but you can build a decent pc for under $1000'
sure, but it only be able to play every game at max settings and will be obsolete in 2 years.

Defuck you on about?

Get a PCIE board and 99% of all cards will fit. 100% of consumer cards. And even then, I doubt they still make mobos without that slot.

I think you shouldn't have children...

Yeah but most people also just have a computer anyway.

To be fair he could have gotten an xbox hueg Gpu that doesn't fit in his case

>$300 max and you only need a new one every 8 years
You're not including 8 years of paying for your internet a second time.
Faggot.

Nah, it was 7600GT 256MB. I needed Shader Model 3.0 for SCDA so I upgraded from Radeon X700. I had Radeon 9600SE before X700 though.

actually, there's a real good $400 ACER prebuilt with USB C, i5 8400 8gb RAM 16Gb Optane, bluetooth and wifi built in, just drop in a decent PSU and GPU (it will take a 1050ti) and you're good to go.

Are you nuts? Ofc you will get some shitty box barely better than your console for 300, why would you think it magically makes you able to max everything? You get what you pay for.

>8 years of paying for your internet a second time.
$400.

so a total of $700. still cheaper.

>socks with sandals

The money you save on game piracy is worth it. For context I've pirated $400 of games in the past two weeks and played none of them for more than 30 minutes. I can literally just pick up any game on whim to try out as a demo and uninstall it if I get bored at no risk. I haven't paid for a game since 2013 except a FFXIV subscription.

You're also paying for all the other features like 60-120+ FPS, access to mods, non-existent load times with an SSD, free multiplayer, superior graphics, and a machine that can do things beyond play games. Consoles are just fucking worthless.

A what now? How deep into memes do you have to dig to actually buy an xbox gpu from some obscure site that is selling this crap?

Yes. The new CPUs should be priced well though so it's very likely you could opt for Zen 2 instead of older gen. It's good idea to buy a good CPU and RAM since they will ladt you much longer than a GPU. If you're a poorfag get RX 570 8GB and never fall for the 1050/1050ti meme. Just remember to get a solid PSU. Corsair CX series is the best budget one and something like 550W should be fine (get 600W if you can just to be safe). For mobo, get B450 Tomahawk or its Zen 2 refresh equivalent (probably B550).

Attached: mrx.jpg (500x510, 66K)

Why do you compare a console that runs almost everything at 30 FPS and at medium settings to PCs that can max everything out at 60 FPS or more? It's obvious the latter will be more expensive because it offers a much better experience.

I dont even know if you are serious. If you are I suggest you lurk moar.

This board is filled with Novideo drones. They kerp recommending 1050 and 1050ti all the time.

Since this is a PC parts thread apparently, are the RTX cards worth what they cost now? Is raytracing that much noticeable? Does it really improve a game's visuals by a large margin? I got a 1080 8GB as of last May or so.

>$400 console at launch

don't be facetious

yeah probably or possibly not even until consoles start doing it

Oh boy, are you in for some fun times when summer comes around in two months. How will you survive in the glorious sun for months without end?

PC have a higher fixed cost but less variable.
I'm gonna take my own example.
I have a PS4 Pro I got for 399 euros.
Add 2 years of PSN = 120 (imagine someone with day one PS4 that's 360)
Add the fact a game is 60-70-80 a pop depending on the game (no DLC or pre-order or special edition included)
So 15 games x 60 (see I'm not even counting at 70, which is how expensive I got them) = 900
So that's 1420 euros.

Meanwhile I spent 1000 on my PC upgrades with no need to buy games since I own them already from previous years. And If I do pay I get it dirt cheap.

Now do this for every generation of console coming and you'll understand why we say PC is cheaper.

could be gravitational interference from you being such a massive dumbass

i go to forums where there are boards for desktop builds recommendations. you just ask there while specifying your budget and your usage and you'll get good builds.

Do you even know what a Dell Venue 8 Pro is? It's a fucking floor model tablet computer with an Atom in it

Xbox One is actually a really good choice for doing that right now since you can pay minimal down for the box itself and for a pretty inexpensive subscription you could get a game pass and have access to a pretty sizable library. I heard they were even running a 1 dollar for 3 months promotion right now.

I did what any rational person would do in this situation. Sawed off part of the case's internals, removing two of its HDD bays.

Bump it up to 16gb ram, launchers are turning into real resource hogs and depending on how many he ends up installing he could use up a good chunk of 8 before he even launches a game.

If he can wait until around June, AMD is getting ready to announce their new CPU series that will likely be quite a bit better for games, or at the least may force intel to drop their prices

>stupid people are too stupid to build their own pc
WOOOOOOOOOOOW

First time building a PC this week and nothing turns on. I have everything connected into the right motherboard pins, 24 pin connector and CPU power connector are in, and the on/reset/usb connectors from the case. PSU switch is on. Every part is compatible according to pcpartpicker. Thought it might be the power cable to the PSU but I tried a different cable and it still didn't work.

Eventually tried paper clip test on my PSU (Evga 600 W1 white I think?) And got the fan to spin for a few seconds before cutting out. Thing is definitely faulty I'm sending it back for a Corsair VS 650w.

no that is shit.

get a decent cpu. ryzen 5 2600 at least. it's like 10$ more

That is a shit mobo get an msi gaming plus instead for micro or tomahawk for atx

add 8gb more ram

im not sold on the gpu. there was a rx 580 8gb for 140 today.

Its not even just about muh grafics anymore though user. PC is the most consumer friendly platform available despite the shitty little war steamtards and EGS fags are having at the moment (which most normal people don't give a shit about)

haha I mean I have 8 gigs of DDR3 and I have no problem browsing with CHROME of all browsers. He also doesn't edit videos or do anything else plus we're kind of on a budget and we could always get more later.

Yeah I've heard about them launching it at the end of the month which is great fucking news for everyone.

I agree with the CPU, Motherboard and, PSU changes. The GPU was the lowest one I could find at the time, didn't see an RX 580 for that price but I'll look into it.

I can't pay any of you but I'm grateful for the advice

You need to unscrew those metal panels from the side of the case. Otherwise how are the ports on the side of the GPU supposed to be accessible to you plugging in cables from outside of the case?

Literally not the case.
If you buy the right parts and make sure they're compatible (only like 3 parts need to be compatible) then you're fine. Don't even need pcpartpicker in all honesty.

Retard.

Depends on where you get them from. If you get branded ones, they use OEM hardware that either wont work without their own brand of shit, or flat out cant be upgraded at all.

Though you can go for others who prebuild out of components you can buy yourself, but then you run the risk of being over charged and ripped off.

you the kinda nigga that eats burgers paper still around

The meta is buying an optiplex for a hundred bucks and dropping a budget card in there.

Mine. Bought it in 2013 and I'll probably use it for another couple of years. The only limiting thing is it had DDR3 and my motherboard only had USB2 front panel connectors.

built my pc a year ago but sometimes when i turn it on it get stuck on the motherboard screen and windows doesnt boot and i have to reset it then it works fine, anyone know what the problem could be? does it every so often

First time I built my own rig I fixed the motherboard directly to the pc case. Power fucked several parts over and I had to get new parts.
Good times.

Even gpu from 15 years ago works on mobo from today. PCIE is all about backwards compatibility.

That being said, people still sell agp cards. The people most likely to buy them are poorfags.

i broke my motherboard because the powerconnector wouldnt fit so i used force and broke something off. 200eur down the drain. and then with the new motherboard, the pc would shut down in nonregular intervals. had no way of checking whats wrong. had to hire an expert, who found out my psu was faulty, cost me another 150 eur.
never built a pc again after that.

PC Architecture at my university was about learning the ARM instruction set and how to transfer between instruction sets

Thanks for the laughs user, at least u manage to do it on your own.

DOA parts are covered under warranty though, just return them to the store and say it's DOA and they'll refund or replace it.
Also you have to put a lot of force in a bad way on a motherboard to destroy it, over half the time it's fixable anyway

That's more expensive than even a dual socket OEM mobo, what in the world were you buying?

Two weeks ago I built my first PC and the two problems I had was that my old one was do old that I actually didnt have a dedicated power cable to the fans in the case. It was my first time doing it myself so that took a moment to realize but once i fished out the cable from the bags of cables I was all set. Only then I found that the board wasnt compatable with windows 8 so it actually couldnt install any drivers for the new ethetnet plug and shit so then I had to make a windows 10 upgrade thing and got that done.

Works a treat now, glad I did it, and even though I couldnt actually do anything on it right away I felt great because it actually fucking turned on first try, which I really wasnt expecting. Honestly you should just build a PC for the sense of accomplishment you get for doing it right for the first time.

I had the issue with windows not coming with the drivers for my ethernet port as well, but I just did ubuntu instead of dual boot.

Go to pcpartpicker, input all the items it will tell you if its incompatible.

This but with micro-ATX. I mean micro is smaller than mini how was I supposed to know? Still a great case, highly recommend if all you want is a decent graphics card and a couple harddrives.

That's 80+ white certified so at least you know the efficiencies involved, which implies a certain level of quality for the internals. Although transistors, caps and other shit have come so far recently that even $15 chinkshit can have 80+ white or bronze easily, which makes it incredibly hard to go wrong these days.
The days of PSUs catching fire due to being cheap af are 10-20 years behind us at this point.

If I want to emulate games are AMD cpus still considered a bad joke?

Mostly concerned about Dolphin/PCSX2/CEMU compatability since I can just throw anything else on with my laptop.

Thanks for the reassuring answer. A lot of people seemed to go way over the top with the capability of PSU brands in general, it probably stems from a lot of the more active people in forums also being dedicated hobbyists with higher expectations than people like me who just want a place to play vidya at for a while. I might upgrade to either support VR games or having a good set up for racing games but both of those upgrades involve upgrading everything in general anyways.

You're literally just dumb

Based xannyanon

People tend to be paranoid due to
#1) Any issues in the PSU could potentially go downstream and fuck other components, although that's rarer now as well
#2) Either living through the era of low quality PSUs catching on fire/destroying shit/whatever else or learned from someone who did
#3) Started with modifying an OEM machine and had the cheap as fuck PSU in it fuck up
Not all OEMs, but a lot of them cheap out hard on PSUs which can make people edgy. We're talking shit that costs literally under $10 retail in China, with the stuff that is considered 'solid for an OEM' being $10-15 from a retail reseller in China

Although companies like Dell and HP tend to be better with their PSUs these days than they were before, it can still be an issue there unless you're buying an old workstation or server power supply. Once you go into consumer brands like Corsair, Thermaltake and the like they're either good, or source from the same people who make the solid power supplies for oems who outsource that/system builders.

Probably only applies if you're incompetent about fan management or intend to run fan-less. Just look at a turbine, not much open space there.

My favorite episode.

You can go fanless. In fact that's probably what you should do if you're not going to use your computer for things a phone couldn't do. A fan-less cooler and a PSU with 0RPM mode.

I bought a prebuilt computer by Cyberpower. Building a PC is a meme if you can find the right build and vendor since they basically do all the hard work for you and do everything properly and you just pay $100 extra for it as opposed to you building it from parts.

If the money isn’t an issue, more power to you, but building PC with no frills is easy. I built one a few months ago with little to no experience, and the only thing I was really worried about was frying the the mobo.

yeah it fucking is. this is why you spend an hour before buying anything to read, but that seems like too much to ask from you.

lol you retard there are literally computer part picker websites that will spell it out for you if parts are compatible or not
Plus you should have done research before committing in the first place
Mongoloid faggot

My mobo died on me two weeks ago and decided to upgrade. Never fucking ever again. First you need to read everything, every thread about your shit, then it feels like every second piece of hardware is faulty and you need to pin down whats wrong with it first and again read every single written thing on the internet about it, then return your shit and hope its working so you can stumble on some other shit problem.

Upgrading/basically building new pc, because after 3/4 years nothing is compatible anymore, these were the worst days since my father died.

If you are not in the loop, and really into checking everyday news about hardware stuff, then building a pc is a complete nightmare, and prepare to spend days (or even weeks) researching and troubleshooting because nothing works, and every shit needs to be solved on its own

PC is the least consumer friendly platform by the virtue that you can't own your purchases.

>its an underaged boy from a 3rd world country tries to keep up with the rest of the world thread

How in the fuck is anyone that retarded. The vast majority of mobos are listed as either AMD or INTEL. You get the AMD or INTEL chip to match. Memory is compatible with both. GPUs are compatable with both. What else is even a problem? Mounting a CPU fan?

The problem is there's no good games

>, and prepare to spend days (or even weeks) researching and troubleshooting because nothing works
>start with MOBO+GPU+PSU

Wow, incredible trouble-shooting. It's gonna take days.

When I bought an M.2 ssd, I was bored to install it as I needed to take off the huge ass cpu cooler. So I called a friend who is always happy to help,who got super triggered by my spaghetti non existant cable management and dust accumulation that he ended up just taking everything off, cleaning them off, reapplying (this time properly) paste and reinstalling them)I bought him a beer afterwards to thank him.

no, you're just an idiot.

Isn't the 2400 the one with the integrated GPU? If you're getting a discrete anyway might as well get a 2600 and bump the 570 to a 580

carefully read the instructions

really? whats so hard about building a PC?
at this point this shit is like fucking Lego or something

Kek I'm surprised the dumbass actually knew what parts make up a computer. PC part picker and be done with it. About the only way to fuck it up is to bend the pins of the CPU.

>I used the Logical Increments website
There are great bargains to be had out there. You're locking yourself out of them if you decide to go for this or that model because some website told you to. Pcpartpicker is slightly superior but even it seems to miss some GPUs.

So does pcpp, and that's part of the problem. You could be bumping yourself a tier or two for basically the same price, or go down a tier and pay a fraction. Plus, as I said, neither is perfect at scraping for GPUs.

Of course i am

No, it doesn't. I have literally never heard of anyone getting into a situation where pcpartpicker told them their parts were compatible, and then they weren't. Literally never, outside of this specific thread.

Time is worth something. The amount of research you would have to do is enormous compared to just using a tool like pcpp to get you in the ballpark.

Since fucking when can a GPU be incompatible unless you bought an ancient mobo or a server board? CPU sure, when I bougt my first CPU and discovered I couldn’t fit it to my mobo I was embarassed and went out and bought a compatible one the next day.

The site shows you prices and sales as long as you know the card you want. If you don't know what you want, you will have to manually check compatibility with all your other parts.

Any modern GPU and any modern motherboard work together
Any modern RAM (we've left DDR3 AMD only ram behind) and any modern motherboard work together
you just need to match the CPU socket
Shit, I'd expect a mongoloid to be able to work out a used xeon ECC DDR3 build with 10min research time, it's not hard.

New RAM is coming. Only a mongoloid would build a computer now.

>googling your fucking graphics card and the word "sale"
my time is worth more than you could imagine, peasant. I must purge the masses of their ignorant opinions and there are always more threads on Yea Forums.

Depends. You can put together a decent machine for dirt cheap with the used xeon meme. Although a bunch of companies are going to start dumping v3/v4 xeons on the market soon and DDR4 ECC RAM so that may change shit up, and who knows how next gen cpus will impact it, but for now it's a way to spend $300 and get a PC which can play games decently enough

As well as new cpu's and new gpu's and new pci slot standard. So fucking what, retard?
