Obviously reuse what you can from your existing PC unless you want new stuff but personally I'd try to reuse storage, the case, PSU etc. I added storage and a PSU anyway but you can make those determinations yourself. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rPXdCL Edited October 3, 2019 by DynamiteCop!

The Mother Fucker 27 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Also bare in mind a lot of this has to do with software optimization. With the arrival of 3rd generation Ryzen and NAVI GPU we saw how some games beat out Intel and Nvidia. Forza Horizon 4 A $400 card taking out a $1200 card. Link to post Share on other sites

I’d rather just get a completely new rig. those parts... do i need a water cooler? I dont overclock. Seems less hassle with a fan. also why 850w? My current one is 750 i think. seen a pc with an i7 9700 and rtx 2070 and it only has 650w Link to post Share on other sites

Nvidia released a driver which improved FH4 performance by up to 20%.... See how in Hardware Unboxed video it shows the 2070Super at 124fps at 1080p Ultra.... and now.. it's 124fps... at 1440p Ultra... and it's essentially tied with the 5700XT? And you can't say it's different because they use the EXACT same built in benchmark. So yea no... the 5700XT ain't taking out shit Edited October 3, 2019 by Remij_ Link to post Share on other sites

So take a 8 core i7-9700K ($408) vs 8 core / 16 thread Ryzen 7 3700X ($329) , the i7-9700K is going to provide slighter better fps numbers in certain games but over-all the Ryzen 7 with 16 processing threads will be able to do a lot multiple tasks at the same time, and still be beneficial for games that are multi-core CPU heavy. Same with the 6 core i5-9600K ($240) vs Ryzen 5 3600 ($200) 6 core / 12 threads , there will be a light higher IPC in certain games but overall the Ryzen 5 12 threads will be the all around better purchase. I feel like jonb here. Lets assume I know what an ipc is and what exactly threads do besides processing.. if im only using it for gaming and trolling lemmings on systemwars, do I need the extra threads? like I said my old i5 did me well for so long. Definitely value for money in that. Hell everything but the gpu just kept delivering. Link to post Share on other sites

You can get any kind of cooler, case or whatever I just put some suggestion in there. PSU's are cheap and the range from 650-850 isn't that much of a cost differential to warrant going lower. It's also nice for expandability if you wanted to add a bunch of storage, get a more powerful GPU down the line with higher requirements etc. Link to post Share on other sites

Facepalm You wanted 4k and future proofing now it seems like you are trying to go on a budget lol Dont want my advice , fine For current gen you dont need a top of the line cpu cause you'll be gaming at 60fps . But dont get a junk one. If you go Intel ram speed won't matter esp at 60fps Get a 2070 or the card dyno posted . 2070 if you want rtx . Do not buy a prebuilt with 8gb ram unless you make it 16. 8gb is not enough . 6bg vram is fine for 1080p 8gb for 1440p Get an ssd Done Link to post Share on other sites

As you say price doesnt go up much so might as well. Cpu should last years too which is why i want power. willing to slide on gpu though cus those requirements increase so rapidly. is 8gigs of vram on nvidias cards enough? most of all what i dont get is how the hell do you pick a good motherbord? it needs the socket and ram setup i want, usb too. Outside of that is there a difference? Link to post Share on other sites

That pre-built I selected above would be the most competent and cost effective for what you want to do with no hassle on your end. Link to post Share on other sites

Word on here though is that rtx flopped? So maybe 2060 and upgrade later Any good? Link to post Share on other sites
