For hard drives I go with Hitachi, even when used they are good quality and last a long time. My Hitachi laptop drives that I am recycling still work and are well over five years old.

Hi guys i have a question im currently in dillema:
i have two versions of builds:
1. 1800X + ASUS Crosshair VI Hero + 16 GB Ram
2. 1700X + ASUS Prime X370-Pro + 32 GB Ram

other components are identical. i would like for mobo and CPU too be future proof that it would last at least 6 years as did my stock i5 760 . Witch one would be better?

What do you do with your PC? I would lean towards #1. You can always add more ram later.

That would depend on how the .2GHz difference affects performance in the real world, whether the 1800X is better at OC, and whether you consider OCing is worth it.
 
Microcenter has not posted prices for the motherboards yet 🙁
I'll guess we'll know till launch day

I am initially building 2 PCs with Ryzen 7 1700X at home to replace 2 PCs with FX8320 @ 4.2Ghz.
Still undecided on motherboards. Leaning towards AsRock Fatal1ty B350 or X370
 
Ok, so I got the price down to $890 with a few tweaks. I prefer nVidia cards thus why I picked the 1050Ti. Is a 1060 with 3 GB Ram, really faster than a 1050Ti with 4GB? Or should I look to the 1060 with 6GB Ram?

1050ti is at a really bad price point. More so for the 4gb version.

Some quick math showed both having similar overall latency but the 3200mhz has much more bandwidth to go with near

One question witch ram should i buy:
-2400mhz cl10
-3200mhz cl14

Some quick math showed both having similar overall latency but the 3200mhz has much more overall bandwidth to go with nearly the same latency (If I did my math correctly). So go for the 3200 MHz ram

Definitely the first. RAM is trivial and cheap to upgrade. Installation is literally three steps - remove case side panel, insert into slot, replace case side panel. Upgrading your CPU is dramatically more involved, while costing at the very least 3x of what an additional 16GB will cost you in a few years. Not that you'll need it for gaming either - 16GB is plenty for gaming.

The difference between those two cards is night and day. VRAM alone tells you absolutely zero about a card's performance. Unless the card is grossly underequipped with ram, look at cores first, VRAM second.

Second: may I ask why you prefer Nvidia cards? I'm not complaining or anything, but as @sirmo mentioned above, the RX 470 of I'll save you $50 while performing between 85-100% of a 3GB GTX 1060. It's amazingly much better value - essentially the price of a 1050Ti, while beating it hands down. In that price range, not going AMD is essentially giving away money. You seem like you're on a semi-tight budget, so that seems a bit counterintuitive.

I've just always had better luck and performance out of Nvidia cards. I'm not against Radeon cards, just never been a real fan of them.

If your preference for Nvidia is strong enough that you definitely don't want the 470 or 480, then at least go with the 1060 6GB version if you can. It trades blows with the 480, at least, and while VRAM may not be a limiting factor for you now, it may be a little more futureproof than the 3GB version. Zotac has a mini version (it's so cute 😛) on Newegg for $225. And if you ever need to put it in an ITX build, it will fit.

The RX 470 and 480 4gb are really hard to beat performance per dollar.

I have a msi rx 480 4gb oc'd to 1380MHz in my pc atm, and I am doing very high 60+fps 1440p gaming. I paid $155 on jet with the promo code and mail in rebate.
 
Water block, pumps, tubing, and fittings have arrived.

1800X is getting ready to ship.

Too bad no movement on the ASUS C6H motherboard from Newegg. Hopefully it's not too long of a wait, otherwise I'll be leak testing my loop for a week before I build my new rig lol.
 
If Amazon had the X370 Taichi for preorder I think I'd pull the trigger on that + 1800X and ATX case. Newegg sold out of that board within a few hours.

So now I'll try and be patient for my original plan which was to build an ITX system in my current case.

Another taichi fan.

I have stalked newegg for a week after it went out of stock, and nothing.

I wish I had the patience of a zen master. Maybe I need to practice tai chi to teach me discipline. 😀
 
All my stuff was packed and ready to go 6 hrs ago so i phoned in and tried to change shipment method to same day delivery just before deadline. A nasty little trick because the seller was first time launch partner. It nearly worked but the dude caught me in the act. Lol.
