Is it a bad time to build a new Pc? Next gen is unknown right now. Seems like a limbo period. What to do Yea Forums

Should be the best time in a while, no GPUs around the corner now that Nvidia has blown their Super load

Have sex.

>seething

it works great

Your record is about as broken as AMD's drivers.

Probably for PS3 emulation or the like. Some newer games like DMC5 or Sekiro. That sort of thing.

Yes very bad time user, the best time is the Monday directly after black Friday

Well I was playing games and suddenly a had blue stripes on both monitors and a black screen when starting windows.

It's an ok time to build a new PC. Still not great for GPUs though, due to cryptoniggers.

we got a broken record boys

That sounds bad.

WAIT.

>New card gens are coming out - they're going to be buggy, shoddy, and expensive. Wait for the kinks to get ironed out and iterations to lower price
>New console gen is going to come out soon, it's an open secret at this point. Games are generally tied to console performance, so wait until those new consoles launch and they start developing games with newer hardware in mind before you bother
>Crypto-Cunts still have prices high
>Supposedly AMD has decided to stop being useless for once, wait for competition to improve performance and lower cost

yeah bro fuck that pc shit im in that console gaymer gang indie devs are jews

>cryptoniggers.
Total myth and corporate propaganda. youtube.com/watch?v=WYTPgDvLkmY

It most likely is. We had good 7 years. So I'm not to mad.

The Ryzen 3rd gen fixed single core performance.

A $200 Ryzen 3600 has the same single core performance as $500 9900k

You'd have to be fucking retarded to buy an Intel processor right now

1) They still have hardware vulnerabilities that require performance-degrading patches

2) A $200 Ryzen 3rd gen is beating $500 Intel CPUs, even in single core tests and emulation

the new ryzen 3000 CPUs offer good value and ram prices are MUCH cheaper than a year or two ago (and I heard they might go up later due to some korea/japan trade war or some shit). Monitors for things like 1440p/144hz are also steadily coming down in price

HOWEVER, GPU prices are still absolutely retarded. Partly because prices haven't stabilized back down to normal even after the bitcoin meme, partly because of jewvidia's monopolistic highway robbery pricing schemes and AMD's relative lack of competition, and possibly also due to Nvidia/AMD price fixing deals.

That said, if you're just going with 1080p/60hz and nothing more, you can get a decent card for ~200 dollars like an RX590 or 580 or, or GTX1660 or -ti variant. But anything more than that and you get into the range where prices just balloon up ridiculously. Right now the best higher-end value seems to be the new 5700XT for 400, but only the shitty blower card is available so everyone has to wait until mid august, and I also hear there are driver issues (as always with AMD).

Personally I'm looking to upgrade to a ryzen 3600 and a 5700XT. My PC is old as fuck (2500k and 7850) and it's high time I upgraded.

There is a brand new lineup of 7nm CPUs,wtf are you talking about. Now is a great time.

Drivers

Both things are true. the GPU devs have been hiking up prices anyway, but then the crypto bubble gave them the extra demand that allowed them to balloon the prices up further, and now even after the bubble they're trying to pretend that intra-bubble pricing is the new normal.

AMD is guilty of this true, but really fuck jewvidia for their constant bullshit. The RTX prices are an absolute joke.

I just don't understand how the chinks aren't making GPUs yet. One+ totally outclassed Samsung and basically every other phone maker, yet somehow we still have to deal with a market dominated by nVidia.

Well that depends on how old your current CPU is. You really don't need to upgrade more than once a generation with CPUs if you're just about gaming. I do not know people who are waiting for Zen3 in 2020 to upgrade.

Been thinking of picking up a Radeon Vega 56 for $300 over a 580 for $190. Decent decision at this point?

Haven't gotten much for new titles, mainly looking to run some older titles in higher settings.

>Next gen is unknown right now
AMD is working on improving RDNA and adding hardware ray tracing. Nvidia is working on moving to 7nm with Ampere.
Both will arrive in 2020, probably sooner than later. You would have to be very desperate to buy a GPU now instead of waiting.

All I need is a new GPU but I feel so fucking behind on current gpu releases, is this what being a boomer is like?

$300 for Vega is not a good deal when you can buy a 5700 for $350 or less.
570 or 580 is a good card now but don't expect it to not be obsolete in ~2 years when new consoles have outclassed it.

thank you boomer, I might fall for the amd meme now

I looked at the benchmarks for the latest cards and I realized the only games pushing GPUs are bland over-produced AAA open-world games. There's literally no point in upgrading when the games demanding expensive GPUs are trash anyways. For $2000 (added price of 144hz monitor), you can do way more fun things than buying a PC to play shitty AAA games with.

Wait for the PS5 and Xboxnext

Those usually set the standard for future games in the next 5-8 years.
So you can judge how good you hardware has to be before its overkill.

Upgrade when there's a game you feel is worth the money to upgrade for.

You dont need a better computer to post on Yea Forums

Buy a ps5, consoles Last you a decade and cost half AS much

godamn white people are so superior

Found this used on my equivalent of Ebay.

Plan to get an RX 590 for it, they're like $260 new so around $660 total. Can't use Nvidia because reasons. Maybe will also upgrade Ram to 32gb @3200MHz for like $200 in a few months.
Worth it? Think it'll hold for a couple years?

You have previous gen high end parts that are pretty much still the best thing you can buy.
So no it's not a particularly bad time.
Depends what PC you want to build.

ask yourself if you really need an update now

getting into hardware reviews and thinking "this would be nice to have" and "oh this is even better but only $50 more" is a slippery slope

They're also sick in the head

Just wait if you are unsure or at least till you can get a deal on a new gpu.

Guys?

Looks fine to me, assuming your target is 1080p/60hz.
Also you can get RX590s for much cheaper than 260. They often go on sale for under $200

>Also you can get RX590s for much cheaper than 260
Gotta apply thirid world tax to everything, bud.

anyone have experience trying out a ryzen 3600 for emulating BOTW and other games on cemu?

oof, my condolences

What's the PSU's brand?

Why do seemingly all PC cases now have tempered glass side panels? I want a PC, not a goddamn aquarium that's gonna shatter the minute I transport it somewhere.

Attached: come on pepe.png (789x750, 18K)

No clue, seller didn't specify. I'm upgrading that as well I guess, to a 750W 80+Bronze EVGA (Like $95 I think)

What's the worst that could happen if I keep the one it already has for some months and it turns out to be cheap shit?

IIRC there's a PSU tier list on linus shill tips' website that gives you a good idea of which brands/lines are quality and which are trash.

Also you can generally tell how good something is based on the warranty period.

what the shit

It's better than plexiglass trash.

m80 it's a used computer, I get no warranties either with the guy or with the brand because the guy won't give me any papers for the stuff.
If I get a EVGA one I know everything's gonna be good so no worries there, but what if I keep the one it already has and it's a bad quality one? Does the PC fry itself or what?

We were kings.

I'm saying I'm against clear side panels, period. It looks stupid. And it's getting harder and harder to find decent PC cases that don't have see-through sides.

we possessed royal authority

>m80 it's a used computer, I get no warranties either with the guy or with the brand because the guy won't give me any papers for the stuff.
I know, but you can still look up the model of the PSU and see from there how long its warranty is, and assess how decent a PSU it is based on that.

>but what if I keep the one it already has and it's a bad quality one? Does the PC fry itself or what?
That's always a possibility. Could fry your parts, might just fail to boot, might crash your PC under heavy load. Nobody really knows. Used PSUs are always a risk.
