you're starting high-end but will end up in medium territory in a few years
>>715041587
Oh shit you're right
>>715041587
don't all high end, end up in medium category in within 2 or 3 years.
>>715040507
Why 750 watts and not just 400?
>>715041729
no
there are 3 markets and each one has a different cap
>personal computers
>workstations
>servers
for example
Workstations can have hundreds of cores
Industrial graphics cards can have 10x the ram
etc
>>715041729
>>715041587
What's wrong with that? If you start in Med territory you're going to be shit in 2-3 years.
>>715040507
Why cheap out on the GPU? Surely a 1080 would have served you better
>>715042021
Erm .....
>>715041888
So he can get a second 1070 in a few years
>>715041888
need it for the Monitor as well, just extra precaution, don't want the PSU shitting out on me.
>>715042107
I don't think the benchmark percent difference is too different from what I have seen only, I was thinking of getting an i5-6600k since there's only a 12% from the i7-6700k
>>715042055
if you're wise about price points then you can invest less and stay up for longer
>>715042124
confused?
i7 v e7
gtx v quadro
let's not talk about servers then, it gets worse
>>715042021
I want this build to be more of a entertainment/gaming system to go in the living room, instead of buying a 4k television.
>>715042559
it should be more than capable
what's the cost anon?
>>715040507
Why get the if but cheap out on the gpu?
My specs:
If 6700k
Evga gtx 1080sc
2x8gb 3200hz
500gb Samsung ssd
Asus z170 programing
Evga 750w psu
>>715042741
1500 total, maybe a little less, if I browse around, It'll probably be cheaper if I get an HDD instead of of the SSHD
>>715040507
>high end rig
>1070
why? I have a 6600k @4.6Ghz and I have an EVGA GTX 1080 SC. That card is barely enough for me, I don't know how you can be satisfied with a 1070. If your goal is gaming it would've been better getting an i5 and a 1080 like I did.
>>715042767
how heavily does the 1080 tax your 6700k though, not trying to tax the cpu for a couple of pixels
>>715040507
Looks solid to me. >>715040507
>>715042946
I just built something for an arcade stand
i7 3930k 6core 100$
dx79to motherboard 180$
other parts around the house
life is full of options
Which one, have you guys had a better experience with?.. I'm wondering.
You guys are fucking nerds.
Why do you spend so much on all this bullshit when you can just get a console to play the games on? Plus you can watch Netflix off consoles now so what's the point?
>>715043646
gr8 b8 m8
>>715043457
depends on the specific one
some hdd's faster than slow ssd's
for bulk memory I get 'white lable' hdd's
OS gets it's own SSD
Games/programs get their own SSD too
>>715043646
cooking vs eating fast food
>>715043047
can you play 4k games though and whats the fps?
>>715043646
LMAO LMAO THIS GUY IS SAD NEWFAG detected
>>715043646
Why not both?
>>715043457
HDD.
SSD is quicker but not designed to be wrote and rewrote on. For a hard-drive HDD is best.
>>715043837
Consoles are for plebs
>>715043457
SSD for the OS with the HDD for data storage.
Hybrid drive is the same concept. OS on the SSD part, data on the HDD part.
Hybrid drives are great for laptops and small form factor computers. They aren't too expensive, offer SSD performance for the OS, and have gobs of storage compared to a similarly priced SSD.
>>715041729
I built a AMD Apu system a few years ago from the A8 series didn't skimp on the ram got good 1866 everyone laughed at me and I'm still playing games from 2014 and 2015 on high with no fucking lag fucking idiots bragging about how many frames their shit can reprocess
I do video editing and everything multiple gb files on SSD drives slice right through in vsdc
>>715043734
>implying CPU load increases with resolution
No, I can't play 4k at max settings at 60fps, therefore I say that you can't play 4k with a 1080. I can play every game I tested so far at 2560*1440 max settings 60fps. I could do 4k but I'd have to drop some graphics quality settings, and considering I'm using DSR it's not worth it. A single 1080 is not enough for serious 4k.
>>715044032
amd A8 laptop here
200$ and I'm playing games on what should have been an emergency computer
>>715043948
I like both and suck my dick.
>>715044032
APU's are great for budget machines, and outperform similarly priced CPU/GPU combos. Good choice anon.
>>715040507
why with new cpus coming out in a few months
>>715043646
i too often like 25fps and graphics that are from the 90's
>>715044331
>pay 10x for a machine that's 1.2x better
>>715040507
Not amd
>>715044331
cause thats going to cost too much...
>>715043791
Oh boy.
>>715044621
Oh geeze, oh boy oh geeze
>>715044331
how much are those cpus going to cost when they come out, $900
>>715044251
Yeah but you no doubt have shit ram tho too all store bought comps have shit ram, shit PSU and normally shit motherboard chipsets
Imagine that fucker rocking with 16gb 1866 g.skill ram
I heard AMDs are faulty.
>>715044790
no matter the ram firefox would still eat it ALL
;-;
>>715044939
all processors come out different, are tested, and sorted into groups
AMD has lower technology ability than Intel.
But that shouldn't matter considering warrenty
>>715044993
Samefag here and I use Firefox and is lightning fast as fuck
>>715045223
I used firefox for a while... but then google chrome came out
>>715044505
Ya cause intel cpu always going up 10x in cost right? zen is already a flop 100% right won't either be a good value or make intel maybe lower prices rite... like dafaq you retard.
>>715045223
It's my combination of addons I use for work
They work fine individually, not much I can do about that
what I need is not available on other browsers
>>715044553
ya cause they always cost more right? Shits like the same price as 5 years ago... what + 30$ tops... lawl wut.
>>715045403
spotted the common-core fag
>>715044730
well we have a i3 coming out that shows it beating a i7... 6700k... for like sub 200? /btards...

>>715045517
you are some kinda fucking idiot... like your statement is so stupid I cant not even start to try to understand where it came from.
>>715045513
cost more than buying a used processor or AMD
not from year-to-year
that fact is the basis of the argument on why not to buy the newest
>>715045589
one bench is meaningless
>>715045592
Was sarcasm... idk if it is or not. No on does so we do not know what it will do to prices so anyone crying PRICE is retarded...
>>715045746
It's actually what they call math now, but I guess you didn't go to school.
>>715040507
I love these threads, some of you guys got good builds, but it amazes me that you only know 1 fucking thing i7s and 1080s. I never see workstation builds or server builds.
Sure OP's rig is nice, clean can't bitch about it. I have built people some high end custom looped liquid cooled systems, even carbon fiber wraped cases, custom painted parts and insides.
Nothing compares to my hypervisor server running hyper-v dual xeon processor 128gb of ECC ram with 24tb of storage.
>>715045208
AMD revamped their process when they started releasing APU's, and is being changed since the acquisition of Global Foundries.
The last of the AMD FX's were very consistantly made and were only sorted between variants.
Best AMD FX 8XXX become the 9XXX or the 8XXXE processors, the "lower" rated ones become the 8320, and the "average" ones become the 8350. From there they just start cutting cores. So the average 8XXX becomes a 6350, and the lower 8XXX becomes the 6300, same with the quads.
Quality control was only really a big problem when the Phenoms were new.
>>715045867
> anyone crying PRICE is retarded
not everyone is an autistic rich princess..?
idk what you're getting at anon
>>715045817
you fucking retarded cuck OP posted a 6700k
THATS A NEW CPU WTF. PLEASE SHOW ME THE GREAT DEAL ON USED 6700k's
>>715045952
ah bump me bro
>>715042021
>>715045906
or im out of school and know common core = a fucking joke of wtf... yet my statement was 100% correct... an no wtf points to it...

>>715042153
Psu for the monitor?
Bring your older brother who built this for you and we'll talk to him
>>715042369
Would of been a better choice.
Processor is way overkill for gaming, but you'll feel the limits of the 1070 as soon as you run a recent title.
I have a nicely overclocked 1080 and even that isn't as fast as I'd like it to be, waiting out for a ti version I guess.
>>715046423
anon how can we help eachother if you just want to start fights
>>715043948
>having games run without major game breaking bugs on release date is for plebs
Kek. Whatever you say, anon. I have a console for the shiny new games, and a PC for PC only and playing with friends.
>>715046494
lmao i wish i had a brother, or even a sister :\
>>715046243
Not a fan of SSHD to be honest, its a half ass way of saying..... i want alot of storage but make it fast.
Now days, i say any OS should be on a full SSD like my hyper-v is on a 1.5TB PCI-E SSD the rest are enterprise lvl HDD drives in a raid
When i build a client a system, normally i will go with an SSD for Main OS (samsung) 99 percent of the time. Then do an HDD data drive.
I am digging the new Seagate's But not a fan of their past lineup. The IronWolf looks great, but needs more testing time to see failure rates.
>>715046505
you never had a i5 vs i7 before or don't use the machine I could use a i7 over my 3570k @ 4.5 ghz maxed out alot of the time between background stuff + 1 game...
>>715046328
You mad cuz I can mine crypto and play any game at 1440p 120HZ at the same time?
>>715046704
> 1440p 120HZ
not him, but is that the current best monitor specs?
I was hoping for 120hz 4k but told it didn't exist
>>715046514
by only posting if IQ > 80 and PC knowledge > I CAN PUSH POWA BUTTON.
>>715046486
Are you fucking kidding me? PlayStation 4 squashes any fucking bullshit you can build for under 3 Grand on a computer.
>>715046704
um, unless you have other boxes lol wut... i was mining ltc like 4 years ago with a rig of 4x 7950s...
possible to be donated a war machine. prefer with wheels
should I get a 4k monitor for this spec or just a 1440p ... maybe the 1440p
>>715046161
No problem. AMD has really locked their stuff down under the new CEO. To cut costs, they only make one processor, sort them based on heat and power usage(less power=better, cooler=better) and instead of making a 6 core they cut two off from the 8 core. Which means they only need one manufacturing process/set of identical machines to make them. It lowers overhead, and allows for consistent quality between the variants.
I have a Phenom II 955 BE 3rd stepping running smooth at 3.8 ghz 1.5v. It's getting up there in age, any manufacturing defects would have been caused failure by now. I really believe that they have changed from the mid 2000's when they were blasting out shoddy Athlon dual cores and original Phenom quads that would die after a month or so of use.
>>715046763
Best monitors are either:
165HZ 1440p with a IPS screen (ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q)
Or 60HZ 4k with an IPS Panel
I use the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q. It's 144 Hz but with only a TN panel.
Expect 4k 120 HZ in about 1 to 2 years.
>>715040507
wait for the i7 7000 to come out jan/ feb next year and get a 1080 instead
>>715046941
Are you OP? 4k with a 1070? kek
Like I said several posts ago, not even my 1080s SC is enough for serious 4k, let alone a 1070.
>>715046998
get fucked
BENQ makes the best monitors
Google it fagget
>>715046892
I've only got an Antminer standalone. I just have a lot of computer parts lying around most of the time, and don't have to pay for my electricity. That's why I mine with my personal rig. Though when you could GPU mine BTC those were the days. Now I'm stuck mining Veracoin and trading it for BTC.
>>715046866
I'm pretty sure any desktop built for $300 can outperform a ps4 kiddie
>>715046651
Admittedly, I don't have an i5 because I'm not fussed about budget, but you're talking about a fucking 5 year old processor that wasn't even considered good when it was released.
You're not going to be maxing out a 6600k for several years, probably more if you're just gaming.
>>715046197
Terraflops have nothing to do with mining. WTF is your hashrate dweep? I bet you don't hash more than 100Ghashes with that tank.
How does watercooling work? Do you have to hook it up to a tap?
Could you use pee? Hypothetical question.
g2g thanks for tech
>>715047159
I like Gsync faggot.
>>715040507
Your build is pretty good except for
>i7 6700k
>212 evo
There are definitely gonna be some fags in here that are gonna bitch about getting a 6700k over a 6600k since atm it only gives a little extra performance, but the fact is that upcoming games in dx12 and maybe vulkan will be able to utilize hyperthreading more. The real problem is that you could definitely have spent a little more and gotten a much better cooler. Cryorig h5 ultimate would have been far better.
Don't listen to anyone here talking shit about not getting the most powerful graphics card available, a 1070 will probably last forever at 1080p.
>>715044331
7700k and 6700k have exactly the same performance. No point in waiting for the same performance unless you want an AMD cpu.
>>715047342
>1080p.
Maybe, but it's gonna struggle at higher settings on 1440p.
That's not speculation, you straight up will not get 60fps with that card.
>>715040507
>EVGA 750W
Why the fuck it says 550 in the image?
>>715047342
>upcoming games in dx12 and maybe vulkan will be able to utilize hyperthreading more
u wot m8? low level APIs (dx12 and similar) will use LESS CPU, that's why many say that dx12 are going to help AMD, because they will remove the CPU bottleneck.

serious question, why do u have i7 but hyper 212 instead of h55?
>>715042369
I built prett much exactly this with the 6600 it kills all the games I play.
dont mind the false motherboard temp and cable management lawl
>>715047089
pfft, water cooling is so 2003. It was supposed to be about compression cooling by around 2008. What the fuck happened...
Oh, CPU's started running cooler and got fast enough that only dumbasses bother to overclock.
no one told you fagg-tors of 4chan that you can only be cool if you run i7's and dual 1080s

Then it cost you $15 bucks every time you want to get it from the bank.. It's all a big scam dude. Unless you own a hashing farm you will never make any real money mining.
>>715042055
>If you start in Med territory you're going to be shit in 2-3 years.
No, most games that get released are meant to be perfectly playable on hardware 3 years older. The new expensive shit like the $900-1000 video cards degrade in price 400-500 bucks in less than 9 months. Once they hit 300 they stagnate with other lesser models in a 10-15 dollar flux and handle any game being made at that time.
>spend 900 on a PC
>use PC for 5 years
>spend 2000 on a PC
>use PC for 6-7 years
the best is when people buy 800+ usd video cards and they burn out in less than 3 years hhahhahahahahaha
i mock faggots with new egg accounts and daddies credit card. fucken liberals.
>>715047760
I never heard about the h55?
>>715048069
Don't you want the essentially free extra processing power? Faster encoding times, more draw-calls for better fps in game, just more everything?
>>715047526

>>715048397
For what it's worth... I have a shipping container workshop with a wood stove installed in it... and one night i got some serious backdraft - and it did smell pretty fierce of that smoke smell you speak of. I got a couple of these things at HD, and they seem to do the trick pretty well.. still going strong and i've had them for months.
>>715048229

>>715048140
Bullshit. It won't play Tera. There is no computer that can play Tera on MAX settings.
>>715047528
Wrong. It helps out AMD because it allows for workloads to be distributed amongst multiple cores. AMD cpus sucks dick for gaming because in API's like dx11 the CPU puts almost all of the workload on 1 core, making it almost always more beneficial to have faster cores than more cores. It's still beneficial to have more cores, but the workload being distributed allows cpus with 8 cores as well as intel's hyperthreading to actually be utilized.

It's a good Corsair AIO cooler for your CPU. Very recommended
>>715048784
I can't describe the smell, because it's not quite like a common fragrance like the Renuzit deodorizers where you can pick the smell. Has a slight lemon smell, not too strong. I used it in a room where there was a smoker who closed the door. So I took about 3 jars to completely get the smell out, but this works better than anything I've tried. We can now leave the door open without smelling the smoke odor. see less

Yes just like the hose you connect to your car.
>>715048905
I think i want to avoid the Water cooling systems...
>>715049811
Why? It's simple to set up. Reliable, and allows you to achieve higher overclocks.
>>715049142
The 212 evo is a decent budget cooler for its pricepoint, but your build is a super high end build. The H5 simply flat out delivers more performance and better cooling, allowing you to reach higher clocks.The h5 is also easier to install.
>>715050052
Overclocking is so 2006... There is no need to overclock a machine made today.
>>715049635
but why?
>>715050252
I disagree
1. Faster video encoding
2. Better crypto mining speeds
3. More fps in game
Those are just a few examples, but definitely worth it in my mind since overclocking is essentially free if you have a k processor.
>>715050067

Unless you are doing some heavy video editing and graphics rendering, Xeon series processors and Quadro graphics cards are overpriced. It's more power than anyone will use playing video games. An i5 and 1070 combo is more than sufficient for even heavy gamers. If you bought an e7 and Quadro setup, you wasted your money because you're an idiot who thinks more cores means better kd
>>715051144
Yes.
I edit multi-gb 1920x1080 video files in VSDC (free program) all the time using a three year old AMD APU rig.
I imagine with something top of the line, it's for working with terrabyte 4k video files for like major movie production and CGI and shit
I like it

>>715051488

>>715051144
e7 in a workstation?
why would you need those expensive scale up / RAS features? They wouldn't help video encoding or anything. e5-26xx if you are using a program that threads well, and unless you are worried about ISV certs, don't bother with a quadro.
