Decided.
I will wait on buying the psu. I have a 600w bronze corsair cx. will see how good this goes. everybody says the cx is a low end bad psu. The computer ain't gonna blow up. Will put my money in a ssd ,will just wait and see how the CX can handle all of this. Sure, definitely not a perm solution. I need a gold cert psu by the end of this year.

Question:
The motherboard only goes up to 2133 ram. If i get the 2400 MHz CL16 it's a waste of money ?
Might not officially support 2400 but you can overclock to 2400. The difference between the two speeds is next to nothing in a normal situation i can imagine.

The mobo i wanted is no longer available and it will never be at the store where i buy my parts. I wanted the MSI H170 M3 with Killer LAN.
All i have to choose from now is the H170A Gaming pro with Intel I219-V lan. Also this one has USB 3.1 Gen2 (SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps) - not that i actually care. And RGB Led, since i will get a window case (for vanity ).
The difference in reviews is next to nothing compared between the 2 lans. Still i wanted the Killer cuz i think it's better.

Should i go the extra mile and try to get the mobo with killer lan ? Or stick with whats available , meaning the H170A intel lan.

I have read various times on the internet about about Killer Lan, a lot of negative experiences.
Not sure if that's still the case, the drivers may be better now than before.

Why are people recommended the OP to get an nvidia card when he got a freesync monitor?

for three year future proofing that single card config you mention aint a 480.. but if it aint another one could always be added as and when.. now if that single card config was a real high end card your comment could well be right.. but with a single 480 in mind its maybe wrong.. :)

trog

You cant future proof a computer. I dont know why people get so stuck on that. Just build the best rig you can at that point in time. No point in worrying about what the future holds for this stuff when no one really knows.

Killer LAN... LOL. Whatevs, it won't make a bit of difference. Both NICs have the ability to sort traffic, etc and their performance is neck and neck last time I checked. I don't even look at the NIC when deciding... that is how little the difference is. ;)

Super smart ! I know....right!? I have always felt like this
Years ago when i got the pc (that i have under specs here on forum), i got it with all the little money i had. And for about 3 years i was very happy with it, gaming and all that. Yes it's a crap 128 bit card...back then it did the job,and so on, for about 3 years. So yeah from the begging my hesitation and uncertainties where about computer parts. Not the future proof part. I know a i5 and a brand new card that is not even out yet will last the years to come.

I need advice. Cuz with little money that i have, i just don't wanna miss out on something better in terms of quality and performance for a few extra $

Take a look at Gigabyte boards, they're actually pretty good. Also the killer stuff isn't really above anything else. It's average like anything else you'll find in a good board.

Here is one good system for about 1250-1300€ (maybe less in your country) that will last for 5+ years for hardcore gaming:

- Intel Core i7 6700
- Cryorig H7 or Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
- Gigabyte GA-H170-D3HP or Asrock Z170 Pro4
- 16GB (2x8) G.Skill Ripjaws V DDR4 2666 MHz
- Sapphire Nitro R9 390 or XFX R9 390 (depending which is cheaper)
- Toshiba P300 2TB HDD
- Zalman R1 case or Deepcool Dukase V2
- Samsung SH-224DB/FB/GB DVD/RW
- Enermax Maxpro 700W EMP700AGT or Lepa MaxBron B700-MB if you want semi-modular PSU
- Philips 237E7QDSB/00 or Asus VX239H or AOC I2381FH (Philips is the only one who has all three VGA, DVI and HDMI ports)


I would recommend G.Skill over Corsair/Crucial, because it uses faster and better quality Samsung memory chips, while Corsair and Crucial (Micron) use slightly inferior Micron memory chips. Be quiet PC cases are very good but pricey, Corsair cases are good (and ugly :D) but quite pricey, while certain Zalman and Deepcool models offer very good value for the money. There will not be some big difference between the silent case and "ordinary" case, since you'll still going to hear fans spinning.

I would absolutely recommend Sapphire Nitro R9 390 with back plate since it's relatively silent even under full load and temperatures will never exceed 79°C - that is in very hot environment (30°C) with Furmark benchmark; during hardcore gaming in very hot environment it might reach 76-77°C. Currently they are slightly cheaper than RX480 with the same amount of VRAM, while offering practically the same performance.

Currently 23" FHD IPS monitors are offering the best value for the money - they are not expensive and are large enough to enable comfortable view.

Salut bro,da-mi pm si facem amandoi pc-ul daca nu cumva ai cumparat piesele

GG :D

Iti ajunge un 6500/6600K,o placa de baza cu Z170, 16 GB RAM, placa video GTX 980Ti sh sau ceva nou din seria RX 480, GTX 1060/1070 evident mai scumpa dar best din toate..

Ideal ar fi GTX 1070 insa e bun si 1060.

Don't.
This is an international community. I have my country set as location, cuz here i live,and i got nothing to hide (TPU members are not racist). You need to use english . This is a public thread.
And if you would read the almost 5 pages of posts, would have noticed that i will not give up on amd cuz of the freesync monitor. So your suggestions are a bit irrelevant

If you opt for high speed RAM I'd say go for the Z170 chipset, I built mine around H110 and my board can only do tighter timings on RAM (primary, secondary, tertiary, what have you, there is an odd option for 133mhz bclk proabably as a hint that I should get the full features chipset, found a z170 board locally for about 500 give or take. the build with an skylake i5 6600k an rx480 8GB looks pretty strong .

Do you think this is a quite fan ?

I never used the original fan that came with it, I'm using a Scythe 1200rpm fan running at around 1000rpm all the time.

It was just a little louder I have read on the internet than the Scythe fan I'm using.

I seek and can not find. I want proof that the be quite case the 600th series is and can be more quite than the other cases. I found Cooler Master and other cases at less money. I don't see any reasons to get the be quite. It does not even look that good, just simple. I don't know if this case is noise proof more than others....but they sure are expensive

I seek and can not find. I want proof that the be quite case the 600th series is and can be more quite than the other cases. I found Cooler Master and other cases at less money. I don't see any reasons to get the be quite. It does not even look that good, just simple. I don't know if this case is noise proof more than others....but they sure are expensive

Well I have the silent base 600 and I barely hear a fan spinning with the case at about 50cm distance and I have a total of 6 fans spinning at 1000rpm.

The noise does not much rely on the case, it's more what fans you'll buy.

what a bout this one:

i have done a "Quiet" build with this babe, but using a Thermaltake Water 3.0 Performer.... with 2 Riing fans, performance wasn't compromised despite being Quiet hardware,

The orginal fan of the Hyper 212 could be loud on loads, most people replace it ...

Do you have any pictures of your rig. Real close up ones. Detailed pictures. I wanna see how you did the cable management in that case from the front and the back etc
