Date: December 3rd, 2013 5:09 PM Author: Painfully honest vibrant son of senegal gaping that other thread got me thinking
is building your own desktop still that much cheaper? for a grown ass man with dat jerb, is paying $200-300 extra to have it delivered to your door in one working piece that big a deal?
last computer i built was in 06, ran great, used it a few years, gave it to parents and worked fine with a few hijinks till about 2011 when i got too lazy to format it and just bought them a new one. |
Date: August 30th, 2023 8:44 PM Author: soggy diverse locale been researching a new budget gaming computer build:
Ryzen 5 5600 16 gb RAM 3060 ti 600w
will purchase a barebones kit + install my current RX 570 until i find a good deal on video cards - black friday in a couple months |
 |
Date: August 31st, 2023 9:48 PM Author: soggy diverse locale upon further research, an extra $20 gets you the 5600x which is apparently way better than the 5600g (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2430661&forum_id=2#46741785) |
|
Date: September 1st, 2023 5:42 AM Author: soggy diverse locale BUILD UPDATE (purchased):
$37 - Daven D6 Case w/6 built-in case fans $169 - Ryzen 5 5600x w/Wraith Stealth cpu cooler
looking at the ASUS PRIME A320M-K motherboard and prices are hovering at $66 so ima wait till next week and see what happens |

Date: September 3rd, 2023 10:43 PM Author: soggy diverse locale sticking to a budget of less than $500
not having to buy a separate graphics card pretty much halves the costs - my rx570 still runs like a champ. 180! |
|
Date: September 3rd, 2023 11:57 PM Author: soggy diverse locale BUILD UPDATE (purchased):
$68 - MSI B450M-A PRO mobo $41 - 700w 80plus standard PSU (56A on +12v)
went for the MSI instead of the ASUS PRIME A320M-K because apparently you have to BIOS flash the ASUS for it to recognize a ryzen 5600x CPU - would rather pay the extra $2 to not go through the hassle of that shit lol
TOTAL SPENT SO FAR:
$315
RAM is the last item. 16 gb around $30. will look for any sales
Estimated total for this build is $345! 1800000000000000 |
|
Date: September 4th, 2023 6:55 PM Author: soggy diverse locale BUILD UPDATE (purchased):
$33 - HIKVISION ddr4 3200mhz (16gb)
comes with a heatsink too. 18000
now i am officially DONE with my build!
TOTAL COST: $348
hopefully will not fry anything while putting the system together, but computer parts - aside from GPUs - are HELLA affordable these days! |

still too expensive for my budget. plus, i fucking hate samsung on a personal level so FUCK THEM.
intel is 180000000
btw, another reason why this drive in particular is cheap is after intel sold off to solidigm they need to move their remaining inventory. i prob am buying one of the last intel-branded ssds. lmao@ how poor i am |

Date: September 5th, 2023 7:43 PM Author: Electric Metal Electric Furnace That's interesting because it lends credence to accusations that these companies sell below cost in the USA and compensate by raping domestic consumers.

Date: September 4th, 2023 12:40 AM Author: Electric Metal Electric Furnace If you don't need the gaming fps the xx60 series are usually better. Every time I've looked into the xx70 cards they have some non-gaming related feature crippled. I discovered this the hard way when the 9xx series came out and the 970 was the only one that didn't do h.265 hardware decoding. The 950, 960 and 980 could play 4k video but the 970 could not. I also notice xx70 series is always the shovelware model that goes into prebuilt machines. Everyone who does DIY can either make do with the xx60 (there's usually a ti or super version too) or they throw down for peace if mind u get with the xx80 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2430661&forum_id=2#46752041) |

Date: September 4th, 2023 11:04 AM Author: Electric Metal Electric Furnace I can't find an excuse to upgrade from my 1080ti. Put your money into a modern cpu and chipset, B450 is like 10 years old. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2430661&forum_id=2#46752835) |
|
Date: September 4th, 2023 5:43 PM Author: soggy diverse locale considered this. however:
games dont really utilize pci-e 4
RAM pretty much maxes out at ~3800 mhz
and cpus are secondary vis a vis gpu. ryzen 5600x will be PLENTY of horsepower for the next five years
finally, not a overclocker
im really happy with the MOBO i got. all the upgradeable stuff ill be doing slowly as cyber monday rolls around: gpu, m.2 SSD w/DRAM, more RAM, gaming keyboard/mouse, etc. |
|
Date: September 4th, 2023 7:33 PM Author: Electric Metal Electric Furnace My computer is old af and it has a faster processor and x570 chipset.
And if you buy ultrafast SSDs you will use dat bandwidth. B450 gives you one full speed nVME slot so you if dual boot you gotta choose which OS has to run on the slow drive.
Here's my mobo, which is also old.
https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Carbon-Gaming-Motherboard-Socket/dp/B09BYXTKC6?th=1
It's worth investing in something that won't have choked up memory lanes. That's what this mobo doesn't have but yours does. You aren't future proofing anything with that old ass kit. |

Date: September 4th, 2023 9:30 PM Author: Electric Metal Electric Furnace These scanner and printer drivers have to load all kinds of bullshit, everything has a "control panel." Windows updates catches some drivers but others require this faggot MSI app that you can only get through the Microsoft Store.
Fuck MSI btw, this is the only time I used a motherboard from them and I'm going back to Gigabyte in the future. The app just blows, and you can't put a password on individual drive slots. My Thinkpad does this but a $300 MSI motherboard doesn't. All these companies suck dick. I bought an Asus "prime" motherboard and it was defective shit I sent back. Back in the day I worked part time at local computer shop and we never saw a single bad Asus board ever. Never saw a bad Gigabyte either but we sold like 4x more Asus. Now Asus is shit and only Gigabyte is maybe still good.
INTEL also used to make solid boards. If you just needed something durable that was the brand to get. Not cheap and no bells and whistles but real well made. Now all their commercial products except CPUs are low grade. |

keeping up with the tech all the time is impossible but once you figure out what's current, you'll know exactly what to look for and at what price

I think I mention elsewhere in this thread I used to have a part time job in a computer store. I don't remember why, but for some reason I asked the owner if he was hiring, and he threw me a bunch of PC parts and just said "build a PC." I had never done that before, I had only tinkered, but dammit I built that fucker on the spot while he watched, and I copped dat jerb. |

Date: October 10th, 2023 3:06 AM Author: soggy diverse locale LOL SSD AND RAM PRICES UP AGAIN NOT FLAME:
Memory makers are witnessing increasing prices as production reductions lead to price rises in both DRAM and NAND segments. Companies like Adata, Phison, and Winbond are experiencing improved revenues in September and Q3, with an overall positive future outlook, reports UDN.com.
The memory industry is seeing positive growth, especially after production cuts by leading makers such as Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. Phison, a leading developer of SSD controllers and a supplier of actual drives, has reported an increase in September revenues, achieving NT$50.04 billion ($1.557 billion). This is a 25.38% monthly increase and a 4.05% yearly increment, marking a 14-month high. The company's Q3 earnings also showed an encouraging 24% quarter-over-quarter growth, despite a year-over-year drop of 15%. Cumulatively, Phison's revenue for the first three quarters was down by 32%, standing at NT$324.74 billion ($10.1 billion).
Adata, leveraging both the production benefits and the recovery of DRAM and NAND prices, presented remarkable figures. The company's September revenue landed at NT$14.82 billion ($461.2 million), which is a monthly increase of 16.47% and an impressive annual growth of 113.10%. Adata's Q3 revenue amounted to NT$36.48 billion ($1.135 billion), with a 35.5% decline from the previous quarter but a significant 116.33% yearly spike. Their earnings for the first three quarters were great, too: at NT$108.72 billion ($3.383 billion), it indicated a 119.22% yearly increase, setting unprecedented highs.

Date: October 11th, 2023 12:45 AM Author: soggy diverse locale samsung manipulating the market pre-black friday AS I SUSPECTED LOL:
The prices of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips show signs of rebound after a major chip glut that has loomed over the global semiconductor industry since early 2022. Experts forecast a turnaround for local chipmakers such as Samsung Electronics and SK hynix as chip prices rise in the fourth quarter.
The spot price of 8 gigabyte Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) 2666 chips stood at $1.518 on Friday, according to market tracker DRAMeXchange. The price jumped 4.83 percent in a month compared to the figure which hit the record low at $1.448 on Sept. 4.
Spot price refers to the current market price at which a particular asset such as a commodity, financial instrument, or derivative product can be bought or sold for immediate delivery and settlement.
The spot price of 16-gigabyte Double Data Rate 2666 chip also hit a record low at $2.715 on Sept. 8 but climbed 3.13 percent to trade at $2.80 on Friday.
Amid the chip supply glut and sluggish demand, the spot price for DRAM chips has fallen into a decline since February 2022. Samsung and SK hynix have been slashing their chip production since late last year, which has resulted in chip inventory assets bottoming out and chip prices recovering in turn.
Contract prices for chips have also stopped falling.
The average contract price for 8 gigabyte DDR4 chips in September stood at $1.30, according to DrameXchange, the same figure as August and ending the five-month consecutive downturn since April.
Analysts project that memory chip prices will rebound from the fourth quarter.
“Inventories for DRAM chips from PC companies still remain high, enough to last for coming 10 to 16 weeks, but there is a positive change among consumer sentiment as clients accept price hikes and Samsung Electronics decided to further cut supply,” said Pak Yu-ak, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities. “That change is being reflected in a price rebound for DRAM chips, including DDR4 products, and is expected to lead to a rise in contract prices in the fourth quarter.”
With the notion that chip prices have passed an inflection point, the spotlight now turns to Samsung Electronics’ preliminary earnings report for the third quarter, scheduled to be released on Wednesday.
Samsung Electronics' Device Solution division, in charge of the company's cash cow chip business, posted an operating loss totaling nearly 9 trillion won ($6.7 billion) from the January-June period. A SK Securities' report forecasts the operating loss for its chip business will be reduced to 4.1 trillion won in the third quarter, a slight improvement compared to 4.36 trillion won operating loss in the second quarter.
“We believe that Samsung Electronics’ third quarter earnings release will be a turning point for the stock, serving as a chance for investors to recognize that the July-September period should mark an earnings bottom,” said Kim Dong-won, an analyst at KB Securities.
“Meanwhile, we see simultaneous rebounds in DRAM and NAND prices in the fourth quarter, which would mark the first time since the third quarter of 2021. Earnings for DRAM and NAND products should each turn positive from the fourth quarter of 2023 and second quarter of 2024, so the semiconductor business’s turn to black should come six months ahead of market expectations.”
