I'd be buying around the end of June early July. Looking at 1080p gaming and the $2k was just what I was willing to spend if it can be cheaper than thats great. I'm looking to have to upgrade as late as possible not within a year or two. About overclocking, I dont plan on it at the moment but might potentially do it in the future. Similar with streaming not a primary goal but would be awesome if I could do it in the future as well witbout needing to upgrade CPU or GPU

Edit: Wouldnt mind bring able to run newer games on high or very high settings especially with my budget

Father:
Refresh important? Integrated graphics could handle the resolution, but usually not 60 Hz on both.
Depending on CPU requirements he'd need one with >4 cores though and in that case there's no iGPU anyway.
Built in SD reader is possible, but a USB one might be more easily reachable.

Smaller is also an option.

Brother's friend:
Doesn't want to overclock as in not if it costs extra or just not at all?

#2312
Then let's wait and see what happens until then. Can't really make a partlist with parts that haven't been announced yet.

Father would like to drive both monitors at 60 Hz, and wants to have SD and micro SD slots built in.

In terms of size: he doesn't need it to be particularly compact. I think he was just worried that by building a computer he would end up with something stupidly oversized, and doesn't want that. A normal sized desktop would be fine.

I double checked with both whether they would be willing to overclock, and both stated that they would but it isn't a requirement.

That means he'll definitely need a GPU. So Ryzen is an option. Does he want/need ECC?

I don't know what his definition of normal sized is though.

Good.

He doesn't want or need ECC.

His current PC in 44 cm x 36 cm x 18 cm. My PC is 52 cm x 45 cm x 23 cm and he thinks it's too big.

Honestly though the size requirement isn't too important, and he could probably be persuaded to go with a larger case if there would be some benefit to doing so. I'll tell him the dimensions of whatever case you recommend and if he's adamant that it's too big I'll say so.

No persuasion needed. The point of building a pc is that he can get whatever he wants.

6 cores are nice.
Mobo allows overclocking, stock cooler is good enough for that as well, so if he wants to bump it up a few hundred MHz he can.
Could go for slightly slower = cheaper RAM. Mobo does have 4 slots so capacity upgrades are possible later.
SSD could go for an 850 Evo instead. Slightly more expensive and I wanted to stay within budget.

HDD is a bit tricky. The Toshiba X300 is cheap and basically a rebranded server HDD, so it is fast, but it does make the old school HDD noises on random reads. N300 should be quieter, but so far no reviews to confirm that. Then there's two versions of the Seagate Barracuda Compute. The ST4000DM005 is one of those weird low rpm 1.33TB platter experiments. No idea about performance or reliability. The ST4000DM004 appears to use SMR* and that comes with its own set of problems. WD Blue is also a thing, but definitely the slowest of all options.

There are cheaper GPUs, but mostly low profile and what good is a GPU that could do 2x 4K 60 Hz but doesn't have the connectors for it? DVI-DL = 2560x1600 60 Hz + HDMI 2.0 = 4K 60 Hz + DP 1.4 = 4K 120 Hz (or 240 Hz with compression) so getting both displays to run is pretty much guaranteed.

That case is 44.1 cm x 35.8 cm x 17.5 cm. There are many alternatives and also options to go smaller. Just an example.

There's cheaper options, but nothing modular. Is he willing to deal with the cables?

Went with Windows 10 even though it's shit, but only 8.1 is cheaper on pcp.

*There's some fuckery going on. Some claim it uses PMR, the datasheet says nothing but explicitly states 2 platters (and 4 for the 8 TB version). Also it uses a 256 MB buffer which so far have only appeared on enterprise and SMR drives and that thing sure ain't enterprise at that price. I'm pretty sure it's SMR otherwise Seagate could offer 14 TB PMR and 20 TB SMR drives and they definitely won't do that for a while.

Still some details to work out, but that's the general idea.

I thought I could easily come up with at least a rough idea for both builds this evening but there's a slight problem: Ark: Survival Evolved
Because apparently on epic a 1080 Ti gets you 40 fps. Unless that fits your brother's friend's definition of "good frames" that seems like an unsolvable problem.
By the way, yes, he could get a 1080 Ti.

Looking to build a pc this coming summer. i dont have any experience with it so far, my current one is a 5 year old pre build. I desire to play tf2 and overwatch at 1080p with consistent +144 frames, my budget is about ~900€ but if needed i can spend a bit more on it.

edit: dont care about eye candy, focus is on performance 100%

I'll be honest don't expect too much of an improvement for TF2.
In Overwatch you're probably GPU limited, so just a new GPU would be enough.

Minimal noise would be passive cooling, I don't think you want to go there.
Why would you need to overclock if you're not sure what it does?
Any pc will run TF2 and Overwatch. The question is how many fps at which resolution and settings do you want?

1. OK with liquid-cooling.
2. Build doesn't need overclocking capability.
3. 140 fps+ constant at 1080p in Source engine games.

Well now that's something I can work with.
When do you want to build it?

Ok then maybe we should wait with a partlist until all the parts that will be released in June, July, August and September have been released.
Knowing the prices greatly simplifies the budgeting.

I just want some suggestions on this parts list. Mostly for TF2 while multitasking (discord, mumble, chrome, spotify). Would like to keep 200+ fps while using a graphics config. I still want to have dx90 or dx91, shadows, and maybe a few other things i'm forgeting. Also, some light video work in DaVinci Resolve. I added the aftermarket cooler so I could hopefully overclocked to 4GHz without a ton of noise.

I would've said get an RX 570 but the miners are back with a vengeance.
You can just use the stock cooler and buy a better one later if you're not sure about it.
PSU wattage is a bit overkill.

Hey guys, here's what I'd like to build :)

Budget: 4k SGD tops (About 2.9k USD)
When: Early September-ish
Usage: Gaming & Video Production (I'll probs try map making on hammer)
Dual Monitors: 2x 24" 144hz (27" is a no-no due to space constraints)

Would ideally like to run games (atm I only play TF2) at 1080p with ~140fps, but I don't really want to overclock it cause I tend to fall asleep with my pc on... But I'm open to it.

I've used macs all my life so literally anything should be an upgrade :3

Thankss~
