The PC Build Thread

[Barbarian Conan]

My thinking is that if Nvidia will price the cards as follows:
Current price of 2060 Super = price of 3060
Current price of 2070 Super = price of 3070
Current price of 2080 Super = price of 3080

But we'll see. AMD is probably going to re-release the 5700XT as the 6700XT and then release new 6800XT or 6900XT cards.

I want a 3080Ti for the inflation adjusted price of a 1080Ti, at least in dollars. Then I'll be happy. Maybe add on another 10%. This whole 50% increase nonsense we saw between the 1080Ti and 2080Ti was BS....

Well hopefully with an AMD card that's capable we could see pricing drop, look at CPUs, intel is finally being beat

Can't wait to build this. For a customer though

AMD ThreadRipper 3960x SKT TRX40, 24 Core/48 Thread
64GB DDR4-3200
2TB NVMe PCIe Gen 4 M.2 SSD
Quadro P2200
Watercooled

Nice build.

If I were you, for shits and giggles, I'd install a 5400RPM HDD and watch them cry at the bootup times. Then switch to the NVME

 

[UrBaN963]

Waiting for a response from Evetech but I think I've resolved my order issues.

Order will now be:
1 x Ryzen 3700X
1 x MSI X570A-Pro
2 x 8GB Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4-3200

I actually changed my order of the X570A-Pro to the Asus Gaming TUF due to seeing how hot the VRM runs and because I'll be using my CPU at high percentages I don't want my CPU to be throttled... anyhow a few bucks more but much better board according to what I've seen and read...

Don't really have a budget, but in saying that, I also don't want to waste money on features I don't need.

Basically my eyes are just struggling with my 15" laptop screen (work monitor is 27") and need something bigger for productivity at home and some casual gaming (I play like one round of Warzone a day, so definitely casual).

My laptop however is a Acer Predator with 144Hz panel, so don't want to "downgrade" in any noticeable sense...

Yeah then lg 32 144hz is one to go for R6500 at evetech. As its way under priced for what you are getting .

Looking at these keyboard, anybody using them and could recommend one over the other?

Marvo KG965 : https://www.evetech.co.za/marvo-kg965g-mechanical-gaming-keyboard-blue-switch/best-deal/7320.aspx

There is basically no reviews available for the Marvo keyboards, and the Gamdias P3 says it has crappy back lightning which I do not care about and that the software is crappy.

What other keyboard would you guys recommend for <= R1000

 

[Gtx Gaming]

I use Marco R350 mehc keyboard, it's actually good. Don't think they sell that cheapie anymore. So I guess the higher ends will be good also.

Just a reminder, don't expect to be here quickly, shipping takes long with evetech.

 

[elf_lord_ZC5]

While I was without a computer, my Logitech gaming keyboard wrist support got "lost", and where might I get a replacement?

It is a G110

The only bad parts seem to be very limited features and cheaper feel.

I can only comment on the Red Dragon Yama, which I find great. It is the only mechanical keyboard I've used for more than a few strokes, so I can't really compare it to the rest.
It was also around the R1000 mark when I bought it.

I've got the KG909 and it feels better than my Redragon I've got.
