Its not hard, its all about avoiding things.

>Avoid watercooling unless you get ITX

Your PC is immensely more powerful than OPs, you can actually play any modern games at all.
OP probably can't even start up modern releases, or they'll crash immediately at least.

>8GB RAM
What's the problem?

I can run any game with discord, foobar, ms_paint, and my 50+ tab browser open in the background as well. I rarely go above 6.5. With just a game open I expect 3.5-5.

Only go above 8 if you're an artist or a video editor.

Or any modern game.

How much bloatware you got running senpai

Have you never played a game released in the last 3 years?
There are literally games now that require 12+ GB.
Not to mention that RAM =/= RAM, OP's is probably slow as shit.

I use a computer from 1996 and i still run games at 300 fps.

Why do people go on the internet to tell lies?

>There are literally games now that require 12+ GB.

How...did you shove it up your ass?

So the average /g/ poster's budget, got it.

here's my upgrade path
first laptop was 2012-late 2016
second laptop 2016-2018
and now I'm fine on the desktop I have
if you cleaned it up real quick and real good you might've been able to save it but it's most likely fucked
seagate HDDs are good outside of that old 3tb model that failed all the time, their more recent barracudas are just as good as WD blues
and ASRock is a gamble, one gen they'll make something decent and the next gen they'll make bottom of the barrel trash
I'd say avoid MSI Armor and Ventus models, as well as Gigabyte GPUs in general, as well as Asus Dual

Hey if he's a teenager or a neet, that's not too bad.
Probably cost him about the price of a console.

>teenager
If I was still a teen, I probably wouldn't even know what Windows XP is, let alone still be using it up to that point. Neet seems to be appropriate, no job and will be 30 in October. And no, I estimate that I spent between $700-$800 on this PC, you can thank the bitcoin mining craze for that.

Fair enough. I worked about six years in Alaska on a boat and bought a nice rig, and forget not everyone earned that kind of money.

To anyone reading this in Amerifat, if you can handle long hours and being stuck on a 60-100ft vessel for three months, try and land a job in Alaska during the summer, even for one year. Good start on any financial burdens. Paid for college that way.

Bruh what, for $800 that's a horrible PC.
Could've built a system with a Vega 56 and a decently modern i5 or Ryzen 5, as well as DDR4 for that kinda money.

Attached: kill me.jpg (477x429, 51K)

Like I said, you can thank the bitcoin mining craze which jacked up the prices for hardware at the time. iirc, I spent about $175 on the cpu, about $210 on the GPU, about $60 on one of the ram sticks, and about $90 on the H97 Pro4 mobo, the rest of the money went towards the HDD, Corsair Carbide SPEC-02 case, mobo speaker and the EVGA 500W PSU. With this set up, I'm at least able to play just about every modern game available right now on High to Ultra settings and can even run VR games to an extent.

I want to do an entirely AMD build like the good old days when I had a HD 4870 X2 with the X4 9950 Black and having an AMD/ATI build was actually not a joke.

I'd still wait a bit on that:
AMD graphics cards are alright for their price, but Intel CPUs still destroy anything from AMD unless you're building a budget oriented machine.

>Intel CPUs still destroy anything from AMD

I thought Ryzen had dumped on everything? I dunno. After Intel royally fucked up, I kinda wanna throw AMD some shekels. Also, Nvidia memed me with the 970, but I still think their GPUs are better than AMDs.

Posts like this depress make me feel bad. I have my old GTX 980 Ti rotting away in my closet. (no I will not sell it on ebay, kijiji, etc I've only had hustlers come at me and its not worth my time)

If you were my friend user I would have given it to you for free.

Yeah in the $300+ range.
Like i said, if you're making a budget build AMD is indeed the choice to go for.

9700K and 9900K still dumpster any AMD offering in similar or even higher price classes, it's only the Ryzen 3600 that's really a great choice right now.
Unless you're doing professional tasks on your PC, in that case AMD actually does win almost always right now.

The handcuffs are made of gold here!

You’re retarded and should feel bad spouting such horseshit

Look at benchmarks you faggot, 9900K beats the (more expensive) 3900X in almost every game, sometimes by over 15%.

Go indy and retro new games are shit anyways. try kotor 1 and 2

Watercooling isnt really useful unless you are doing design work. If you were you wouldnt be here.
Seagate HDDs had marginally higher failure rates than WD drives 10 years ago. No idea what the rates are now.
No clue about Corsair PSUs.
Ive been buying PC hardware for 15 years, never even bothered checking brand name on most components(HDDs I did). Never had a single part fail on me. I wouldnt worry about it too much.

Pretty much this, but it doesn't hurt to use user review shits to make a somewhat more informed purchase or at least be made aware of any potential fuckups.

How come Speccy reads CPU temps wrong for AMD?

Why are you shilling for a company like that?
Telling people to buy AMD for a high tier gaming rig right now would simply be poor advice.
I hate Intel too, they're a lazy shit company that's been holding back technological process for a decade despite being able to push us much further if they wanted to, but that doesn't change that their products still perform better.

Starcraft

Perform 10% better at 5 times the cost!
Also nice “fake news” bro keep trying to get those intel shekels.
Honestly neck yourself man you have no life.

He's right that the Intel chips have higher performance on games, but omitting that they perform significantly worse on any other tasks like rendering etc. Also the price difference isn't worth it.

Are you retarded?
The 3900X costs MORE you absolute mongoloid, shut the fuck up about topics you know literally nothing about.

>omitting that they perform significantly worse on any other tasks like rendering etc
See , i already agreed with that.
The only people who buy Intel right now are people making high end gaming rigs that aren't used for many other other demanding tasks.

*who should buy Intel
Worded that poorly

>this game used 10gb of ram when I was playing it
>therefore it is impossible to play the game with less than 10gb of ram
that's not how that works

Swiss cheese security should be reason enough to avoid intel.

High-end cpus are not going to do much for video games. You are always going to be bottlenecked by your gpu unless you buy an expensive pc to play on low settings which is just retarded.

All CPUs have vulnerabilities, but most of the Intel ones have been adressed in the 9th gen and the few ones that it does have can't be replicated outside of lab conditions right now.
Either way, you'd just avoid them the same way you avoid any other viruses, don't install shady shit or run untrustworthy .exe files and you're good.

>tfw 3900x + 32GB of RAM

feels pretty fucking good being able to just quickly record some gameplay, cut it together in DaVinci, and have it rendered in minutes

the graphics card is probably the part that makes the graphics run good

It depends on what games you play, there are still some games that are heavily CPU bound.
If you play older stuff or on emulators, it also helps to have a CPU with good singlecore performance.
But again, of course i wouldn't recommend Intel to the average user right now, 95% of people should be more than fine with something like a 3600 or would maybe even get more out of it.

there's no consistency in mobo manufacturers being shit or killing it. every brand has good parts and bad parts. its about gradually learning what features you need for your use case and what tyhings make a component shite (stuff like go for ssds with DRAM and better controllers, avoid mobos with expensive features you dont need, if youre going for ryzen go for RAM thats a little faster, try to get a psu with quality internals -- whether that be seasonic or otherwise)

jelly. i bought 64 gigs of ddr4 3200 when it dropped super low recently and i got lucky with a restock so my 3900x is in the mail now. i use davinci + fusion a fair amount, so im pretty hyped. next step might be a dedicated gfx card to run the davinci environment since thats wgat black magic recommends

built lasts year. Unironically thinking about upgrading cpu, but I don't really need to, and I'm not sure about amd vs Intel this time. Will have to wait for emulation to advance a bit more before making my decision. Also, don't do what I did. Get a really small ssd that you install only windows on, then get a bigger ssd for games and everything else. Reinstalling windows on an SSD with a bunch of other shit is annoying. Dedicated OS SSD is mandatory.

How bad is it doc?

I don't buy used electronics

Intel still wins for games, especially emulation and old games.
It's only worth it if you're going for current gen i7 or i9 though, if you don't wanna spend that much then go AMD.

980ti to 1080 isn't that much of an upgrade either is it
980ti is pretty much a 1070 as far as I remember

Just get a used 3rd gen I5 or I7.

Corsair's higher end PSUs are rebranded seasonics iirc.

>tfw still have a i5-3570

It's really starting to bottleneck performance in newer releases, and upgrading would most likely require a new mobo as well. Being poor sucks balls.
