Popular Post froggy8 Posted June 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) hi guys, thought i would start the build early if anyone is interested at looking at other peoples pc's., i have got 2 out of 3 items already and i will order the 3rd one on monday. my pc is quite old ( 4th gen) so i figured, bout time i upgrade it. i will be keeping my pc case, psu and gpu but replacing the mobo, cpu and rams. i will update as i go along, here are the things ive got so far: not sure how to post pictures on here properly though. once my rams gets delivered then i will sort of do a step by step pictures.

Yrkoon Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 ah gotcha, new upgrade should be pretty snappy, i love my hex core over the old quad 🙂 i like lights 🙂 i also like the hacked snes mini on top 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yrkoon Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 kool im more into the gaming side but even then im only running a radeon 5700 and on a 1080p monitor, screw current gpu prices they are super stupid lol nowt wrong with asrock although im using a budget msi board https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-TOMAHAWK-MAX i was raging with amazon just before christmas 2 years ago when i built this current rig, they sent me the ryzen 3600 box with some ones old i5 inside and to add insult to injury it was a much weaker i5 than the 6600k i had at the time lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 just remembered you have an amd build, i was going to do an amd build as it was bit cheaper than this intel build but the power comparison was quite abit. cant believe you got that from amazon, i have bought few things from aamzon and been fine, glad you sorted it out though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strugglecuddle7 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Looks good! I'm a amd man myself i was in the fist wave of ryzen buyers, still using my ryzen 5 1600 although its starting to sweat now even tho its Oc'd to the max!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 amd are good build, i was tempted myself before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 was going to get the 11400, i chose the 11500 because it has better integrated gpu. both cpu have similar power so made sense to get the better igpu https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-11500-vs-Intel-Core-i5-11400/m1496869vs4112 https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/compare_cpu-intel_core_i5_11400-1870-vs-intel_core_i5_11500-1868 https://cpu-comparison.com/intel-core-i5-11400/intel-core-i5-11500/ i got help from these comparison, as you can see, theres not much difference apart from the integrated gpu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strugglecuddle7 Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 Yeah the gpu market is nuts at the mo! I dug out my old gtx 660 the other day might try and sell it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 i really could do replacing my gtx 480 though, its about 12 years old 😄 tdp for that is 250w 😲 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash22 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Nuts isn't the word, AMD cards are in stock at retailers just double the MSRP, i will stick with my pair of RX480's not upgraded in a few years nothing special 9900K, 32gb CL16, 2xRX480, 500gb and 1tb 970 M.2 evo's that replaced my old X99 5820K setup Just sold an MSI R9 280 3Gb, someone paid £80 for it !! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash22 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 It's nothing special just an old Corsair Obsidian 750R, HX750 PSU, Gigabyte X390 Gaming X, Not long built a Mini ITX system, The first AMD system i have built in 20+ years (Ryzen 3 on B450 board) in a Node 304, CM 212evo, Noctua fans all round, again nothing special, it sits there and chews data 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) i remember before i got the phanteks case, i was going to get the 750D too. very nice case. ordering the rams tonight so hopefully get them on tuesday then the build can begin 😄 Edited June 6, 2021 by froggy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 well i have decided on getting a psu now as mine is not that great. will be getting this one: https://www.ebuyer.com/919255-seasonic-focus-gx-650-650w-80-gold-modular-power-supply-focus-gx-650 not sure what to get first though, rams or psu?

Strugglecuddle7 Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) I was going to suggest a gtx 970 over a 1050ti but then i remembered the prices are nuts!!! I'm still rocking my gtx 1080, im gonna wack my gtx 660 in at somepoint today and see what it can do.

froggy8 Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 well i ordered the ram first, the psu can wait. mine is still working ok so i thought why not. will have a look at the gtx 970 and compare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
