considering a new build, maybe for black Friday

Things have changed alot since I last looked...

If yous have time, have a look about and see what you can come up with? Budget max 800 to build a atx tower.. less the better lol.

I'll post up what I was looking at in more detail later, was along the lines of amd ryzen 5000 series 3600 cpu b550 mobo and 850w psu really wasn't sure on gpu, dont mind getting basic one and upgrading later though... ssd or hdd any helps appreciated

Edit:

Older mobo, cheapest bundle could see..

Only diff is mobo

Could get cheaper psu, worth risk?

I take it there's more demand for more memory these days?

650w defo enough to power that , enough if I upgrade gpu maybe one day

Ssd and hdd? I know ssd runs faster, would it not be better for it all to run on ssd?

Cheers

SSD for the OS.
HDD to install games.

850w is overkill. I got that GPU and a 650w PSU but it ran fine on my last one which was 550w.

8gb will work, 16's pretty much standard for new builds nowadays.

Ok mate , sounds good. Sure I've still got a couple of old hdds there, i could be a tight wad and use them aswell.

What you playing these days

Aug 06, 2009

I mind your Mrs used to work there mate , ask if she reckons prices are likely to drop much more in next few days please ?

Jun 06, 2010

Recycle anything you can. If you have a HDD you can stick in there, you're back in budget.

I'm at the point of a new system now. Can't really upgrade individual bits anymore. It still runs everything fine but if something goes pop, i'm fooked.

Recently, I've mainly been sitting in the Menu Screens of CoD, No Man's Sky and a bit of Division 2.

BF1 was meh and BF5 got support dropped the moment they started releasing good maps.

Got into Warframe for a bit and War Thunder held my attention for a couple of months but the epic grind for progression got boring.

If anyone's up for a game on something, give us a shout. I can install TS or Vent if anyone has it?

No idea on the price front, she's not done that job for a couple of years now. SSDs have come down though.

Aug 06, 2009

Ok mate, I was considering waiting to see if prices drop much more, always risk some returing to original price.

Xmas soon mate, good excuse Very Happy

A few of those games I've not even heard of, my cousins been hammering cod on xbox , said its good. Pc/console games sounds interesting. I remember bf1, didn't even know there was a bf5..

Sounds like world of tanks, was a mission

Can see me returning to gaming as much, know what it can be like when get hooked. My old i3 struggles to play coh2, looking forward to playing that again. Ill be using the TV for a wee while Very Happy

Memory , mobo is 3600 oc.. does that mean it needs to be overclocked or cannot be used. Need to buy non oc memory or overstock?

Fan isn't am4 compatible ?

Case and gpu sold out lol,waiting for deals isn't helping lol

Just waiting a few days before I order , hopefully worthwhile

Can you give a link to the memory and motherboard?
