Not sure if 250GB will be enough fro games and stuff
Maybe put a 128GB one for W10 and keep the HDD for games?
That would be a better choice assuming the price works out. HDDs aren't actually all that bad for modern games since most games these days read from a couple dozen "block" files instead of complicated file trees, and HDDs are actually pretty good at sustained sequential reading.
Felt that 128GB would be too little (My laptop has two partitions and the OS one has 144GB used up) so I've put the Crucial SSD on it
So I added the SSD, changed the Mobo to an ASRock AB350 PRO4 and the case to a Corsair 100R, bumped up the price a bit (From 320.000 to 400.000) but I'll wait for my friend's feedback
these are all very good changes, the AB350 PRO4 is one of the very few decent B350 boards out there.
Messed around with the config a bit and if I change the mobo to a Gigabyte H310M A (might have the same issues you mentioned Ryzen Micro ATX mobos have) the CPU to an i3 8100 and the GPU to a GTX 1050 it'd only cost 100.000 more, could it be a good alternative?
I can also drop the SSD and put a 2400G for the same price as the 2200G and the SSD
My friend has a budget of like 370.000
I was considering giving the GPU a slight OC to get closer to the 2400G in performance but im not sure if the Wraith Stealth could handle it
Speaking from experience, HDDs are okay for a lot of games, but open-world titles or heavily modded games - both of which generally still have to branch out through a large asset tree - perform noticeably worse on an HDD.
If either of those things are on the table, invest in an SSHD instead; a hybrid solution that combines a fast hard drive with a modest NAND cache, onto which frequently accessed files will be moved over time. SSHDs can feel about as fast as a SATA SSD best-case, and can generally be had for less than $100 in 1TB capacities.
Funny thing is even AMD on first gen Ryzen included a screw on cooler.
The only SSHD that exists in this site im using is a Seagate one, is it a good brand? I'll put it in the build see how it'll affect the price
I'm not a big fan of SSHDs. They're really just mechanical drives with a mountain of glorified cache and software tends to not be able to take advantage of them. The two technologies don't directly mesh very well. It's a much better idea to accelerate HDDs with stuff like StoreMI or Optane - but neither of those are really possible at your price range.
My last experience with the SSHD concept was pretty positive though. The last laptop I ever owned without an SSD had one, and when I ended up putting it aside and upgrading my workstation, the included high-RPM HDD was a noticeable, jarring step down from the SSHD. It's only after I threw that drive out and started using a SATA SSD instead that things felt "normal" again.
Maybe I just got either extremely lucky with a good SSHD, or extremely unlucky with an abominable HDD, but I definitely could feel the difference day to day, and it drove me crazy by the end.
The use case of SSHDs pretty much extends to laptops and laptops only. They can be preloaded with the firmware to get the most out of the ultra-mega-turbo-cache and it saves on internal space while keeping costs down.
So I should just go SSD+HDD?
Oh I have a question, you mentioned W10 was wonky when it ran in a HDD, what problems does it have exactly? My laptop has an HDD and i dont see many problems beyond some programs using up 100% of the disk causing my system to slow down (tho mine is a laptop 5400rpm, the WD Blue is 7200rpm)
I'd say yes, a small, good quality one like the Crucial MX500 for boot and core apps and a conventional HDD for games and other files.
That's basically it, yeah. Windows 10's search, in particular, is awful on HDDs. Many of W10's core utilities are also UWP-based, which creates a lot of storage overhead that HDDs struggle with. Additionally, the file indexer is much more aggressive than before, and Superfetch inexplicably exists. Between these things, you're going to get 100% HDD usage for extended periods of time. W10 was clearly not designed to be run off of a mechanical hard drive and I will never recommend doing so in any build or any price range.
First off - gave y'all a coin for suggesting this. Thanks!
I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to buying brackets -I guess I'd have to contact cryorig themselves for one?
If you get a new Cooler, you'll get brackets with it. The Hyper 212 comes with all the brackets I could snort and a backplate for fitting both AMD and Intel, just got one a few days back, and had to fit using brackets as the fiddly little AMD clip don't fit no more.
I stored the mounting clip things in my CPU box when I had to remove them to get the stock cooler on, and then later my AIO.
Whats the goto lga1151 socket mobo?
Why not just get a 1600 instead then? You can still overclock and it comes with a coolet.
Or 2600?
What chipset/generation?
Sky, Kaby, or Coffee?
Why does it send me to the first page when I try to go to last page of the thread?
what would be the best rx 580 variant to buy?
im thinking about gigabyte or sapphire
I can't get to page 27! I hope this post fixes that.
sorry but it'll take a while, we all want page 27
hopefully helping the page 27 situation by being saddened at the sight of my motherboard just sitting there, waiting for the other parts to arrive
how did this missing next page bug pass over into newpunch lmao
probably automerge
when will we get 27 im tired of manually writing 26 in the url address
RIP Facepunch.
Maybe if we push this to page 28 it'll unbreak?
