bro just pirate windwos wth
card looks a bit dinky, but it looks nice, good job op
yeah its the cheapest one, my specs are ok not the best
- 1 TB HDD (i will get ssd to boot OS from later)
- 16 GB ddr4 ram at 2666 mhz
- 1050ti grafix card
- amd razen 5 2600
later i will get ultrawide screen or some thing, i have to use my tv because its the only display i my house to have HDMI :(
Specs?
What platform is it? Running an AMD or Intel?
>B450
Ah, guess that answers that. What CPU did you end up going with?
Are you planning on gaming with this system, or just some general browsing and such? I'd recommend pirating Windows perhaps, or buying one of those cheap bulk keys off of eBay.
nice job. i like buying parts off ebay/location 2nd hand and seeing how much I can build computers for. i've built four, i should probably sell em, i just do it for fun though. it's like lego
Oh I suppose that answers that.
Faster RAM is important for Ryzen, especially 1st and 2nd gen, but since it looks like you have heat spreaders on your VRMs, you can probably overclock what you have a bit.
That's a lower/mid level system though, should be able to play most games, even if it is on lower settings. You know, there's a CPU out there right now that's a killer deal, though, the Ryzen 1600AF, which is actually a slightly lower clocked 2600, and only goes for $85 brand new!
yeah im in leafland and i considered the 1600 but couldnt get a place to buy it
yeah its average im actually using it to produce music, not to game haha
yeah this is my first build, i didnt think it would be as hard as it was to shove ram in those slots but it worked out in the end lol
get a OEM windows key, they are like $10
I'm not familiar with linux at at all. Luckily if you have a college email you get free full windows 10 lmoa. I build my PC last semester my specs are
1060 6gb GPU
Ryzen 3600 CPU
16 RAM
Ah, well if that's the case you're pretty good to go. Honestly for those kinds of purposes, more RAM and an older GPU probably would have served you better.
Mhm, RAM has never been ZIF like CPU sockets are, you need to make sure it's a snug fit.
good job user building a pc for the first time is a pretty cool feeling
>i have to use linux cos i am poor
i think linux is better anyways.
linix is a pretty cool guy but its givin me problems because its not fitting my display right
yeah feels good man
for sure, but i feel now that i know what to expect, my next builds will be more easier :D maybe i will make a small itx-sized build as a media center for my home, with popcorn time or leonflix or something
i have college email but i am finished school, did you think i could still maybe get windows? good specs brother
where from?
I've bought a couple from ebay, just check it has good reputation.
You can also try scdkey, some tech youtubers have discount promo codes (I don't remember any at the top of my mind)
I'm interested in an ITX build myself, but I'm concerned about heat. Would probably have to go with something low powered if I really want to take advantage of those tiny cases.
Waiting for the summer for an upgrade myself, at least getting an idea of what I want. 4th gen Ryzen is supposed to be coming out, and perhaps the next gen Nvidia cards as well.
update: ucuntu is installed, running minecraft without a sweat on full settings
i dont play that many games but im relieved to see my favorite game, minecraft, can be enjoyed in full for the first time
running mc on my thinkpad was unbased
You buy keys for 5 usd on ebay dude. They're legit, created using a loophole in EU regulation. Pirating isn't worth it.
>i have to use linux cos i am poor
you literally could have converted a pirated 7 into a legitimate 10 even 2 years ago
for sure, r u excited about 4th gen ryzen? do u think u will buy one? typically the jump from 1 gen to the next isnt so drastic so i was worried about buying a 3600 or something like that. like u said, i could have settled for 1600 or something.
my friend eric made a raspberry pi media station for his home but im not quite sure how it handles video like that, wouldnt it need a strong gpu or something?
ill have a look. is it legal?
You tried terraria? It's the only game I play these days aside from minecraft.
2 years ago i was convinced a lenovo thinkpad is all i need. desktop computing is so much better imo now
so they r legal?
no but my friend played it back in high school. looked like fun but i never really got into any other games except for like gmod and gta, which i hope will run well on this pc
heh maybe this will turn me into a pc gamer
I may be. My main system is getting on in years now, it's an i5 6600k and GTX 1070. I primarily use my computer for gaming, so I usually go for higher spec stuff, though I may stick with the 1070 for a while since it still runs things just fine.
Definitely looking forward to the new Ryzen CPUs, AMD has been kicking so much ass with these chips and I'm happy to see it.
Only Ryzen based system I have currently is somewhat similar to yours, was made with mostly secondhand parts though, and is running a 1600AF and 750ti instead. Put it together with the intention of doing some video capturing and editing, for my game consoles and retro PCs.
Really depends on the application, if he's simply watching videos and playing some light games, an integrated chip should be fine.
Of course not completely, it's like a gray area.
Imagine being HP, you sell a lot of computers per day, each of them you have to install windows, so you just make a deal with microsoft to sell you batches in a regular basis, but some won't sell before the next batch arrives so they end up with extra keys without use, so sneaky inside workers sell them cheap online since they didn't pay anything for them.
At the end, they are practically stolen from the company and resold to you, but the company don't even care or notice because for them is just as if an employee dropped a hamburger in mcdonalds once in a while.
It also isn't the method Microsoft would want you to buy the product, but the product is 100% legal.
yeah i was actually reluctant to buy this AMD chip but my friend was so insistent on me buying it. i had bad experience with AMD chip in the past, but these days AMD is so good that i wish i had switched sides sooner
this is very nice, i even bought a used 1050ti for 80 bucks and it beats the shit out of every integrated graphics shitty intel laptop graphics ive used for my whole life
my eyes are opened, laptops are a meme, desktop computing is the future's way
I forgot to add that microsoft doesn't care about it because the OEM company already payed for that key
AMD had a rough patch for quite some time, but back in the day they kicked some major ass as well. Glad to see them being a major player again.
Oh yeah, for laptops you gotta pay out the ass to get something decent, and even then, a desktop beats them.
>desktop computing is the future's way
Hehe, everything old is new again!
yeah probably. if you still have access to the email I'm sure it will work
oh, so its even better to buy cheaper key than just letting it go to waste i suppose
thanks user, i will go tomorrow to buy it from ebay.com
