Hardware
VictorDecided to give up on the laptop life and go for a decent build for once, this is what I have so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dHFyw6
The parts I picked are more of a rough guideline as I'm totally clueless as for what brands/etc I need, which is why I'm looking for feedback, primarily for getting the best build out of my budget (was originally ~$1500, but willing to go up to roughly $2000 if the performance gain is worth the extra $$). As for what I'm looking for:
- no real preference as far as games goes, mostly just looking for a best all around build (but do plan to do a lot of emulation stuff)
- will probably overclock
- no plans to stream or anything with video editing/other high end tech needs
- Ideally, I would like for the build to be as quiet as possible (although not really a fan of water cooling)
- needs support for WIFI
- Monitor is more or less a placeholder, I'm not too familiar with them and only thing I know is that I want something with 144hz (or more?) at 1080p (or 1440p, if the price for those monitors are reasonable), and screen brightness is relatively important
- Was hoping for a dual monitor setup (with some generic 60hz monitor) but I'm perfectly fine with waiting until another time to get that monitor if it doesn't fit the budget
- I have microcenters close by as an option for buying parts
Building asap.
side note: I've heard that you need to be particular about buying cables for the monitor, do those usually come with the monitor itself or do I need to buy those separately?
Don't guy with the 3600x, see this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDV7aA6arVo&t=611s
Basically the performance between the 3600 and the 3600x aren't that significant and isn't worth spending $50.
You could ditch the air cooler because all ryzen CPU's will come with a stock air cooler, you said you wanted to overclock but the 3rd gen ryzen CPUs don't overclock/ gain much from overclocking because of the precision boost technology that is built into them. You can overclock them but it won't gain you as much performance as overclocking an intel CPU would. If you want to overclock I'd overclock your GPU, you'll see the most performance gain out of that.
Before buying any parts I'd strongly recommend going to a microcenter and see what their prices/ discounts are. Depending on the store you can get really good deals on parts and it can save you a lot of money.
As for your question about buying cables for your monitor, the monitor should come with cables. If it's a 144hz monitor it will at least come with a display port cable which you need in order to run 144hz. You won't need to buy a cable.
Also if you are looking to cut down the cost of your build you could also consider AMD's new GPU's like the 5700 or 5700XT, they are very competitive for the price. Here's a good video reviewing the cards https://youtu.be/dZlJbfiVGic

Hardware
ShearsHi all,
I don't know a ton about PC builds, but I'm considering investing in a new one for professional video editing.
My budget's around $3,000 currently, and I'm looking for a computer powerful enough for smooth editing with a moderate level of special fx applied to projects that I'm working on in Premiere and After Effects. Being able to edit more plain stuff (e.g. with lower levels of fx) in 4k would be nice as well, but not required.
This page by Puget Systems seems like a good starting point to base my hardware around -- what are your opinions on the basic build they have laid out there?
I'd be looking at a Ryzen 3900x, it will outperform intels 9900k in all of those tasks. Maybe something like this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nDrnWD
I have a few issues with the build you linked.
My first issue with that build is that 64GB is a bit excessive for 4K video editing. If you were going to be working with 8K video it would definetly be worth it. Also the ram speed is only 2666, for video editing you'd want at the very least 3000mhz or faster. If you get 64GB and aren't using literally 32GB or more there won't be any benefit in having more ram that you're not using.
The cooler isn't the best. Noctua isn't a bad brand but if you were to go with a 9900k you'd want to overclock it as close to 5.0ghz as you can get it, and doing that on an air cooler is going to be a lot more difficult and result in increased temperatures, a good liquid cooler would be better for overclocking.
The storage is abysmal. The SSDs are both really fast but they aren't big enough. The 1TB m.2 970 1TB is where you'd want to have windows installed and all your applications/ programs, and whatever current project you're working on, but then you would also want at least 5TB or more of storage. 1.5TB isn't enough when you're working with 4K video.

stupid article Although TF2 is free to play, the presence of microtransactions can also be overbearing.
What??? The only thing that really "encourages" you to buy anything in this game is when you get a crate drop.
nvm someone already posted about this

pyrotechnicReerothe guy said subscribe to pewdiepie before he went in and did it wtf
this is the funniest shit i've ever seen. pewdiepie is a racist and the world in 2019 is maybe dumber than ever
It's funny that someone yelled out a meme before killing 50 people? If you seriously can find that funny in any way you need serious help.
Edit:
Also apparently Reddit banned r/gore and and r/watchpeopledie

Tbh I think it's a good thing. I visited those subs a few times and it was nothing but a bunch of edgy degens laughing at people dying in the comments.

highfivehaven't read a single post in this thread and i don't care about bonk or solemn vow
BUT
isn't soda popper just legitimately broken? or did it get nerfed recently? it's been a while since i touched the weapon
It got "nerfed" a while ago. It used to build the charge when you moved around but now it builds the charge by player damage. It still allows you to do 7 jumps once you have your charge though, so it's debatable if it was really a nerf or not.
