this is the first time i've ever done this
ryzen 5 2600x, 16GB 3000 ram, and an RTX 2060. i feel i can excuse this since i'm gonna use it for machine learning stuff too
really excited to play games that i've never really been able to play :0
5 + 2600 x 16 + 3000 + 2060 = 46665
That's a really good computer!!
oo thank you for the offer but i have a p good backlog thanks to humble bundle
i think i actually have mgsV and i'm pumped to play that later
hell yea enjoy
Hard mode looks pretty decent with that set up.
I'm getting DDR4 3000MHz RAM :D I'm using a Ryzen CPU and apparently RAM frequency matters a lot for it
for me the issue was that ddr3 is physically incompatible with my motherboard
OOF yah that'll do it
you might have already bought the stuff but pc part picker is wild useful for finding out if things are compatible or not and getting deals and stuff
been using it 8) got a few parts already!
oh hell yea. I'd love to see yur final build (like yur choice tho lol). I've stuck with intel for a long time and I want to see an AMD one
hey gamers...
I do ATX because I like having the extra space and airflow, gets things quieter and cooler and helps your parts last longer. You don't really need all that space on the board, maybe go mATX motherboard and ATX case? That's something I'm thinking about doing. I do love your ATX case, I have a similar one from Nanoxia.
A CPU cooler is a nice investment you can use for builds going forward, and will generally be quieter and cooler than whatever you get in the box. I've been eyeing a Noctua NH-D15. You would know better than I would if you want that, I'm planning on overclocking in the future.
I was kinda surprised that you chose a 2060 for a 1080p60 monitor, like I was sure there were cheaper cards for 1080p60, but no you don't really save that much on a 1660. Maybe a RX 580? Or wait them to announce the 1650? Graphics cards are wild.
I'm happy with my 970 and I'm waiting on a replacement but I'm not really sure what I'm waiting for.
Anyway I hope this helped, I should clarify that I'm not an expert lol.
Also I see you're going tenkeyless which is the way to be yehaw
I'm doing ML so I'm justifying the beefy GPU that way ;) Buuuut I've gotten this critique twice, so i think i ought just to get a better monitor. Plus I'll be typing on that a lot
I have a 1440p monitor and I really like it, it's a nice resolution for working.
Blugh, my ideal monitor is <27 inches, 1440p (or 1080p at most), IPS or similar tech, 144Hz with reasonable refresh rate.
I reaaally wanna avoid TN but it seems that's my only choice for this kinda panel...
New TN panels have gotten way better than they used to be, I wouldn't worry too much. The only feature I'd conciser a game changer is HDR that's a completely different price range lol
I actually had a nice TN and a nice IPS monitor on my desk at the same time for a while and like, I could barely tell the difference lol
Oh I'm confused -- I always understood HDR to be some post processing to bring a wide range of light values to the 0-255 scale we all know. But from what I read now, HDR monitors just have great contrast ratios and 30 bit color?
Anyways, I still feel iffy about TN. I love the viewing angles I'm familiar with for IPS.
The viewing angles on TN monitors are better than they used to be, and it doesn't matter as much cause you're going to be able to control what angle you're looking at it pretty well. The tradeoffs are worth it for the lower costs and higher frame rates I feel, though you can get a nice 60hz IPS for not too much.
The HDR you're thinking of is a different kind of thing to like, the display technology. That HDR hasn't really come to monitors yet, but I have an HDR TV and it's extremely cool. The difference is in the backlighting, in a conventional LCD screen it's just one uniform lamp, in an HDR screen there's multiple lights that light different parts of the screen differently (or if you're talking about an OLED screen, each individual pixel has its own brightness). Content with HDR data will be able to tell the display how bright each pixel should be, so you can get dark or bright areas with fine detail. Even for content that doesn't have HDR data, a good HDR screen will be able to make it look good basically by guessing how bright or dark part of the screen should be.
It's worth mentioning that a lot of TVs have HDR labels but like don't really do much with the data, you kinda have to read reviews to know if it's any good at it. My TV is a midrange kind of thing, it doesn't have a ton of dimming zones so sometimes there's halos around things (you can notice this with like, white lines on a black background) but wow I still love the effect. The purpose of a display is to throw light around and HDR just does it better.
Sorry to uhh, kinda geek out lol. There really isn't an HDR monitor worth getting at the moment, but it's something to keep an eye out for in the future.
Oh shit that's exactly what I was thinking of!!
I remember in like... 2010 my internet friends were building gaming PCs and I was like "hey it'd be cool if there was an extra 'brightness' channel per pixel or something like that" and they were like "that's stupid and impossible"
YEAH
WHO'S STUPID AND IMPOSSIBLE NOW, 2010 HIGHSCHOOL KIDS???
It's so cool and definitely a bigger deal than 8K or whatever the fuck
God I'd never want 8K
1080p is plenty for me but 1440p sounds.... Nice
for a monitor where you're up close to it it makes a big difference
Update for you: I got two keyboards (Razer green switches and Cherry MX browns) PLUS a 1080p60hz IPS monitor for $15!!! I have to clean out gamer scum from the keyboards but very very good deal for me.
I'll probably pick up a better monitor Eventually, it's one of those things I'm def willing to wait for a deal on. Tbh I'm pretty happy to have a tenkey, I can get back into Blender now 8)
damn, good haul. you're two keyboards cool
