Then post links. Unless its chink shit.

Is the OP venting because he fucked up while setting up a pc?

NZXT used to sell pre-builts with parts below MSRP but that was for a week before all the youtubers shilled them and they had to raise prices.

I'm borderline retarded and i built my PCs just fine, i 'm on my fifth over the span of 15 years.
Yes the first one was the one i screwed up the most but guides on internet weren't widespread as they are now.

i will give you a very basic example how you can blow $500 in a second.

some PSU's have a small switch that alternates voltage at the back

if you hit it by mistake or forget to set it your psu will make a loud pop noise risking to blow everything inside your case along with it

most mistake it for on/off button and just press it

You probably paid someone to make this post, to avoid unwanted risk.

Dollar value isn't everything. I'd rather build a nice machine for $1000 with nice parts than buy a $900 piece of shit from Best Buy. Prebuilts upcharge to fuck on everything.
>you could build your own kit car Ferrari; so just do it XD
Terrible comparison, as auto work requires a lot more space, money, and specialized tools. You know what I need to build a PC? A table and a screwdriver set.
>>i build pc's
No you don't.
>and i can tell you a dozen or so things are not found outside of PC technician courses at trade-schools
No they're not. Things like what? Nothing you need to know to put a fucking CPU in a socket, plug the cables in, and put the Windows DVD in and tell it what drive to install to.
Fuck, I remember installing Windows 95 on computers when I was a kid. You had to boot DOS from floppy, load CD drivers, and install. Looking back it felt like a massive god damn chore.

Hilarious coming from guy who paid for sub-750ti hardware in the current year.

I just buy pre-builts and upgrade it as needed. My current one has a new video card and power supply.
I usually only upgrade my PC when my current one shits the bed due to major hardware failure, and I'm such a degenerate addicted to my PC that I have to immediately buy whatever they have at local shops so I can have a functioning one right the fuck now.

Congrats on your potato user, sure a €500 well spent.

the biggest trap of pc building is buying overpriced shit like a 1080/2080, when you can build an entire PC for the price of a GPU.

How do you get 'major hardware failure'?

I assemble my own computers but I do think buying prebuilt is better for most people

>sub-750ti
im sorry to tell you user, but it runs equal as a 1050ti.
must feel good to spent 500$ on a nvidia.

Is that what the bestbuy clerk told you or are you just lying to save face? All of us can google benchmarks you know.

Last one died due to overheating. To be quite frank it could have been repaired but it was old enough to not be worth it.

Yep, researching parts and getting the best bang for your buck is far more difficult and time consuming than the actual assembly of the parts.

I upgraded the ram on my desktop computer when I was 11 years old

So take that how you will

Is it really a meme response if it's true? Building a PC is literally reading instructions if your a first timer and piecing shit together like legos. And if you buy the parts on sale, it's even cheaper and it's precisely what you want without bloatware shit.

Just built my first PC a year ago and for 1.2k, I got a fucking 1080ti, i7-8400k, etc. The monitor was the most expensive part but if I'm going all in, I NEED a 1440p and 1ms monitor to justify. Best fucking purchase of my life.

its not hard, but you cant deny that there are certain things you have to know in order to not build trash.
judging by this thread half of the people doesnt even know how igpu's work or that older mainboards doesnt support newer ram.
they are propably just to lazy investing 2 days of their life into actually researching the parts.

2012 for me. I need a new computer because parts are going bad, but there's not much actually worth it.

>encouraging americans to take on more debt
careful friend

just don't be stupid and don't buy used
it's a scammer's market

Building a PC is literally just like building a Lego set, except that some of the pieces are a bit sharper, and you need to Google the instructions rather than receiving them in the box.
I'm an absolute fucking brainlet and even I figured that shit out just fine

why not

>still defending iGPUs

You're just depressed, you might want to seek help, contrarian.

because igpu's are awesome.
they are basicly for free and work. (you only need the upprice for good ram)
about every game i played on my vega 11 so far runs at 1080p 60fps on meduim/high settings.
and if i want to upgrade for next gen i can easily add a new gpu.
why would i buy anything else?

See, brainlets like you is the reason consoles exist.

If you are then it's not surprising, you are playing games that are almost 10 years old.

you'll find out when you're older

it's still probably a faster pc than what almost half of Yea Forums has, no doubt about that

Because when you actually run a demanding game, you'll struggle to break 30fps on low even in the 5 year old TW3. And because when you do decide to upgrade, you'll be left with a gimped CPU compared to options without Vega.

vampyr 1080p60fps on ultra
quake champions 1080p60gps on medium
Rpcs3 runs the game on 100%speed for the most parts(not all, but man rpcs3 is not even in 1.0)
tell me, what awesome new pc games are there that require a huge ton of speccs?

Unless you can dodge the scams
Like me

>Because when you actually run a demanding game, you'll struggle to break 30fps
i mean, you keep saying that but i literally own a vega 11 and every new game runs just fine. so whats your point?

>vampyr 1080p60fps on ultra
Doubt.
>tell me, what awesome new pc games are there that require a huge ton of speccs?
DMC5, Sekiro, RE2, Ace Combat 7.
>but not exclusive
Nobody cares about exclusives on PC (well, before Epic came in), it is all about the performance, fidelity and modability.

All that says is your standards for 'just fine' are very low. I advise against enabling framerate overlays during gameplay, truth might be painful.

its fine for you to doubt it, but its like what i said there i own the igpu and it works, whetever you doubt it or not doesnt matter to me since i can see it for myself. about re2, i didnt try it desu and i pretty sure it wont urn on ultra settings, but it will run just fine of medium (not at 60fps maybee)
but whats your engame? i literally paid 150€ for gpu+gpu

the only evidence you've provided is a screenshot of you playing an 8 year old game at 30fps

$50 is too much
When I got mine they assembled it for free

Honestly sounds like you should not be dealing with custom PCs desu

built a PC for the first time for under $400 in parts and it can play everything, get fucked brainlet OP

Built over 5000 custom computers as my job and can confirm 3 of those were somewhat complex to assemble, requiring one to be more then a retard to build. The 4997 others were fine though

Wait for the 3000series Ryzen chips to come out. When that time comes you'll be able to put together a pretty sick machine on the cheap.

I don't understand what the point of consoles if same price PC's run the same games but at 60fps instead of 30.

maybe not entire PC but yeah unless you can wipe your ass with money(had a friend recently "upgrade" from 1080 to 1080TI) then there is literally no reason to buy "the newest ever" cards unless they seem like good performance for a buck (like 1060 for example) I own a 1070 but fuck it I had money and 8 year old PC so

you don't have 100 iq

You typically find that modern power supplies accept 100-240v out of the box without the need for a voltage switch. However you're probably looking for a (You) so here you go.

1080s are going for $200 on eBay since the mine crash. I have a 1060 but I recently got a 1440p 165mh monitor. Would it be worth to risk on a used 1080?

I got a mining 1060 myself. No issue so far.
I'd say it's worth it.

This
Saves you like half the cost too since you only really need to get a gpu (and a psu if the one that's already there doesn't have the cables required for the gpu)

I know next to nothing about the inner workings of PCs and I still managed to assemble my own rig that's still running strong today.
That shit is basically color-coded and you need a sub-saharan IQ to fuck it up. The only annoying part was cord management and having to make a last minute run to Best Buy because I forgot some smaller parts I needed.

If you find a prebuilt that is cheaper than self assembly they absolutely skimped on quality somewhere. If you read the fine print they will basically say "uh yeah we just use whatever ram we have laying around".

You're probably the giga fgt who posted earlier crying just because you happened to be the dumbest fucking nut of 'em all. MAKE SURE ALL PARTS ARE COMPATIBLE BEFORE PURCHASING PARTS. You inbred fucking dumbass. Just buy a pre-built computer if it's that complicated for you.

I'm not poor so I decided to spoil myself. I also have all the consoles. Fuckin poor people

>i build pc's and i can tell you a dozen or so things are not found outside of PC technician courses at trade-schools
lol, op fucking ruined some parts

After the first build, only a graphics card is needed. I just spent under $300 and I'm playing games at 60fps on a 55" TV. No input lag at all. Get a job and save up for the first build. I was almost positive I would need a new motherboard or power supply. Popped it in and it worked 100% with no issues. Cards are smaller and use les power nowadays which is a plus. Got a 1660 ti mini with the same ram/clock speeds of a full size.

If this is an issue for you, then I suggest never operating a blender because you'll create a giant mess if you overfill it or turn it on without the lid on. Forget about power tools of any kind.
Don't own or operate a car, because you'll ruin it if you don't take off the emergency break, or have enough oil, or mistake bar for PSI when adding air pressure to the tires, etc.
Don't have children because babies don't come with instructions and all they do is cry when they need something.

There's no reason to use a smaller one if you can fit a larger one though

More space for air flow.

But less cooling for the card

I have enough fans, air flow is more important than fans.

But the card will run hotter.
It'll be more likely to reach thermal limit.
It'll take longer to dissipate heat too.

should I bother with replacing the Ryzen stock cooler?

Pretty good bait thread. Kudos to you OP, you glorious handsome devil.

I didn't even run it since I installed the card. All the games I tested so far run a steady 60fps for the most part so who cares what windows says. Do people actually care about that or even use it? I honestly forgot it was there.

MSi afterburner is some good software, but goddamn I want to strangle the guy who designed that window.

run it, it won't be the card.

Lol, me too! Before I upgraded, I had a different skin on an old version of afterburner. I couldn't find a skin option in when I updated. Not sure if it's not an option anymore or I'm missing it, either way I stopped looking because I felt sick.

I'll pass.

If you feel this way, perhaps gaming isn't the hobby for you and you should leave this board and stop shitposting.

sometimes they have contracts to get their parts cheaper, or get them cheaper because of mass buying parts.
its not allways about the quality

bruh if you have a working brain then you can build a gaming PC with no worries of parts not matching and for less than $300.

I bought mine by grabbing a fully-functional office computer for about $100 then upgrading the power supply and adding a 1060 graphics card to it. ezpz.

Building a PC isn't hard you fucking idiot. Literally just follow an online tutorial for set up and your fine. Heck the only worrying part nowadays are the case pins for the motherboard (which always have raised holes now for convenience in every case now) and installing the CPU and CPU fan (which is basic shit since most CPUs come with a decent stock fan and unless you're overclocking you'll never need a custom fan or liquid cooling).
>there are actual pr-builts that are cheaper than assembling it all yourself
Post them then. But even if you find a cheaper one I'd bet the individual parts are off brand trash.

>off brand trash
they are all the same unless you overclock, which someone buying a prebuilt won't do

Test that shit beforehand and make sure the seller has original receipt from when he/she bought it or else don't bother because it's likely near toast.

i'm seeing them from between $400 and $580 used "buy it now" listings on ebay, and cyrptocucks can eat shit if they think I'm buying their used mining cards.

Just pay someone else to do it. It's like mechanic repairs and oil change, you either do it yourself or pay a garage.

>they are all the same unless you overclock
Ah yes. Cheap chink HPD RAM that dies after 3 months is totally the same as decent RAM from Corsair.

I have one of those on my apple II

don't be shy

Considering most people only change their oil maybe once every year and it's relatively cheap ($40) to pay someone else to do it, it's not quite the same. You're only saving $20 a year by changing oil yourself, even if it is a very simple process. Building your own PC on the other hand can save you $500++

I just payed for the compatibility test and assembly. 2080TI was busted when the pc got here, sent it back, they replace it, this time send the pc back with bubble wrap inside, as they probably should have from the start, pull it out, start pc, everything runs great, only cost me like 50$ extra. Ah well at least I won't have to build a new pc for a minimum of 5 years and it took me like 1 year to save up the money, quite thankful.

Building your own hasn't been the DEFINITIVE solution for a few years now.

It's still preferable if you want to save a little cash but like you said, it's not even a great deal anymore.

I mean just give your part list to someone else with knowledge, he approve it, order them, and let him build the PC for $50. Most computer shop will also do custom builds.

My GTX 1070 build last year saved me £270 and got me 16GB of DDR4 instead of 8GB.

I think people who do it either have a lot of money or they are hoping that they won't have to upgrade it for a long time

I fucking hate this place. I build my own cause then I dont have worry about the quality of the parts or how it was assembled. Retard.

Nobody has been saying that for years, though, ever since phones made ram expensive as fuck and cryptocurrency made gpus exorbitant.
That said, PC is still the best way to play some games, especially if you are a graphics whore.
Being an idort is the true master race.

I jumped to conclusions and assumed you were talking about price, but now I see you are just retarded.

As a person who likes using mouse and keyboard ... I can't say I have many alternatives. I hear they might make it possible for XBox, but I dunnot if there will be much point to swapping, since I like playing indie stuff like Kenshi, Exanima and Saurian too.

I paid like 2500$ for my PC, can confirm that it might not be for everyone, I'm lucky enough to be able to save up that kind of money, and enough of a cave dweller to not really want to spend it on anything else.

Here, you'll need this: logicalincrements.com/

No one buys a several thousand dollar PCs just to play video games unless their stupid.

you say that on the same planet where millions of retards buy Iphones just as a social symbol.

>shitty PSU that drops voltage or even shuts down under load and will catch on fire 1 day past the warrenty period, possibly frying the other parts too
>shitty case with shitty fans that provide shitty airflow
>shitty CPU cooler with shitty thermopaste that insures that CPU will overheat and throttle under load
>shitty cheap MoBo that downclocks CPU by a fair amount of mhz, and can't run RAM at max frequency and/or with good timings

I've only paid $1400 in parts since 2012. Not that bad considering it beats the "pro" console before the original console even exist.

Poorfag here, I've been using pic related for a while now, and I've been considering getting an external gpu, does anybody know how well that would work?

>risk fucking half that up for a $50 assembly fee?
I'm not retarded though so there is no risk

This is such a bad idea but Yea Forums is not brightest place.

only worth if you can get secondhand gpu for decent price since performance will be gimped
does x230 have expresscard slot? if so it's good enough, else you'll have to use the mpcie which is a hassle if you have to plug-unplug it alot

That fucking brainlet cope

Even middle schoolers can build a PC
How retarded can you be to consider it's a risk to build it yourself
What the fuck

>Chinese bootleg quality motherboards and PSU's
No thanks

How much did it cost all together?

this thread is so many keks.
I've put together every pc i've ever owned since about 1995 when i was 10. That shit actually took some know how.
everything today is color coded and modular, it takes 1/4th the time to assemble an entire system today.
You lazy fucking idiot kids go bitch about this stuff on message boards rather than go and fucking figure it out your self. learn about electronics, learn a fucking skill instead of shitposting about how hard things are all day.

Little known fact you actually CAN'T fuck up building a PC on your own, it's impossible.

Most pre builts have all name brand parts or let you pick out the parts.

So it cost like 500 instead?

Dude all the rebuild sites let you pick out the parts.

Dont do it. eGPUs were always a waste unless you already had a notebook with high CPU performance (which the x230 is not).

Performance is severely limited by the adapter bandwidth, its incredibly annoying to set up, is unstable and once it finally works you also run into massive limitations due to the weak CPU.

You are better off buying a used PC with a 2500k/ 3570k/ FX 83X0 for 100 shekels more than the adapter and put the GPU in there.

True, hardest part is doing the wiring

>>and finally if you aint gonna pirate games just get a ps4
>just get this box that can barely run games at 30fps
>meanwhile I'm gaming at 100+ fps on my 144hz variable refreshrate monitor on my PC
Yeah nope. Once you experience the smoothness you're never going back. I have a ps4 pro but I haven't touched it in months because there's literally one game that I can't play on PC and the PC gives a better experience.

Also building PCs is fucking easy. Sure if you don't know how to do it then it's probably better to have someone more experienced do it for you or just pay for the assembly fee. Pre-builts are often kinda shit or if you go for a reputable brand you're usually paying a good $200-300 more.

>Yeah nope. Once you experience the smoothness you're never going back
I disagree with you this so much. I still back to console game's. I have pc that shit on consoles too.

Reminder that pre-built PCs are rape unless you get lucky and find a good deal.

Do you have a proper monitor? For the longest time I was using a basic bitch 60hz piece of shit. I recently bought this new one and holy shit. The difference is night and day. Not having variable refresh rate looks like ass.

I buy prebuilt every time and have had 0 issues. You can still pick what parts you want if you wanna go the custom route. Its simply about convenience, and for me convenience is king bc im a lazy motherfucker.

Its the same games user they dont play differently. One just looks and runs better. Really not worth the extra 1200 bucks imo

The PS4 has more than 5 games?

I have a 75hz monitor, it's that much of big as your making it.

>i build pc's and i can tell you a dozen or so things are not found outside of PC technician courses at trade-schools

please you are killing my job, is not easy I swear.

Im just gonna buy a thinkpad or macbook next and give up the idea that gaming on a PC has any merit
