#2592 PC Build Thread in Hardware

SetsulOk, I'll see what I can do tomorrow. Just a rough draft, final partlist in the week that you actually buy everything.

Exactly, for rendering more cores are better, so if the budget allows it then Threadripper, otherwise a RyZen 8 core because it's cheaper than a Kaby Lake 4 core or Coffee Lake 6 core.

1700 + cooler for overclocking, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, 4TB HDD, RX 580 or somethng like that, FreeSync monitor and even a nice IPS monitor (e.g. Dell U2415) look doable though.

Hey Setsul, building it this weekend :)

SetsulOk, what about ULMB/Lightboost/Strobing? You can't use it at the same time as G-Sync/FreeSync though.
If you don't need that then FreeSync monitor + AMD GPU is going to be cheaper, otherwise probably G-Sync monitor (with ULMB) + nVidia GPU.

I don't think I'll need ULMB/Lightboost/Strobing. Looking at the Threadripper again, maybe the FreeSync option would be easier to fit into the budget :b

Speaking of which,

SetsulAny news on Threadripper prices? The 1920X costs the same as an i7-7900X, even though it's 200 USD cheaper, so it's not really worth it when you can get an 8 core RyZen for less than half the price.

yeap, 1950X is priced at:
- $1,589 alone
- $2,092 with ASUS Prime X399-A mobo
- $2,431 with ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme mobo
- $2,130 with Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7 mobo

and 1920X is priced at:
- $1,279 alone
- $1,783 with ASUS Prime X399-A mobo
-$2,121 with ASUS ROG Zenith Extreme mobo
-$1,820 with Gigabyte X399 Aorus Gaming 7 mobo

Here's the full price list from the store I might be buying the CPU from :)

Cool :D I'm really new to this so I'll build whatever you recommend me to :)

SetsulNo, this is either or. Either 144 Hz or better colours, possibly two different monitors one with each, but you can't really afford both on the same monitor. G-Sync/FreeSync do the same so this is about vendor lock (G-Sync = nVidia only and nVidia refuses to support FreeSync), but you don't need either, I asked whether or not you want it. Should probably read up on what they do. Same with ULMB/Lightboost.

Hmm, I did some reading up and from what I gather running both a TN (144hz) and IPS (better colours) seems like the best option for me :) Also think G-Sync would be worth getting since I've had headaches from screen tearing before.

Thanks again :) I'll probably be building this 21/22 Oct

SetsulOk, I can definitely use to get an idea of the prices. Is that also where you'll be buying the parts or any other shops? If those are the exact prices then I can get closer to the max budget, if they are just similar I'll have to leave some wiggle room to be sure. Especially shops that got AMD RyZen/Threadripper in stock would be nice because those will definitely be more interesting for rendering.

I'll definitely take a good look around the mall for better deals but you can use those links as a rough gauge. Prices from store to store are generally around the same and mostly negotiable, as long as I can prove that they are available elsewhere for cheaper.

On the topic of CPUs, would you recommend AMD Ryzen/Threadripper or Intel's incoming Coffee Lake? From my amateur POV I'm leaning towards the Threadripper purely because of the number of cores and threads it has.

SetsulTo recommend a monitor I need to know which features you want first.

Dual 24", both 120hz-144hz, better colours would be ideal. I'm fine with either G-Sync or FreeSync (This is probably a really shit answer to your question but I honestly don't know much about monitors hahaha) With my budget I'm assuming FreeSync would be more obtainable?

SetsulOk, 500-1000GB then for the SSD. What about the HDD? I'd imagine you want one for finished projects. 3-4TB? Smaller/larger?

Yeap 3-4TB sounds good.

Setsul16GB is basically the starting point, is that enough or do you think you'll need 32GB? You can just go with 16GB and upgrade later if you need to.

32GB would be great if the budget allows :)

I don't know the prices in Singapore but 3.5k SGD probably won't get you the same that 2.6k USD would get you in the US. Any price comparision sites I could use or links to the shops you'll buy from?

Fair point, whoops. Locally there's really only 2 ways to get parts, from the shady local tech mall or online.
Here's the price list from one of the more reputable shops of said mall:
http://www.fuwell.com.sg/uploads/misc/Fuwell230917.pdf
And a website of another better known shop in the same mall:
http://best-bargain-computers.com

Any specifics for the monitors? Both 144 Hz or lower refresh rate IPS (->better colours etc.) for the video production?
G-Sync/FreeSync or ULMB/Lightboost or whatever other features you might want?

Looking mainly at the BenQ XL2411/2430 but I'm open to anything you'd recommend :)

Need storage? How much? Just one SSD for the OS and programs or a larger one (or two seperate ones) so you can also use it for rendering?

Definitely, maybe 500GB-1TB? I think I'll go for the single larger one.

How much RAM?

Maybe 16GB? Purely from reading online forums 8 seems to be too little.

Of course I could just guess but figuring out how to figure out what you actually want/need will help you when you want to upgrade and you'll get a better build.

Thanks for taking the time out of your day for this :)

Cyann_Setsul#2341
Video production as in rendering?
There's a lot of new CPUs being released with lots of cores, wait until after that before deciding on a partlist. Can't predict what the prices in September will be.
Editing for the most part but yes, buttloads of rendering :3
I'll wait then thanks :)

I'm backk~ Life happened and now I'm looking to build this mid October. Again, I've used macs all my life so literally anything should be an upgrade :3

Budget: ~3.5k SGD (About 2.6k USD)
Usage: Gaming & Video Production
Dual Monitors: 2x 24" 144hz (27" is a no-no due to space constraints)

Thanks Setsul!

#27 TF2 at the Olympics? in TF2 General Discussion

As great as TF2 is, there's no way it'd be an event in the "esports olympics".

Skateboarding will be a thing in the upcoming Tokyo olympics, but the events are probably just gonna be Park and Street, since they're more recognised and popular.

Now think about TF2 and where we stand...
