Recommendations on my PC Build (Editing/Gaming)

[Kareem]

Build should consist to 600-800$ Mainly focusing on specs that can handle editing, 3d programs, and games. I'm very stumped on the motherboard. Atx or micro atx? Any thoughts or recommendations?

Whatever you do, do NOT buy an FX series CPU, they're basically pointless since Ryzen is out.
I put together a build for you; I don't have time right now to explain it, but if you want a breakdown I can give it to you tomorrow.

I've considered Ryzen cpu's, i always thought they were way out of my price range. Also I have literally NO IDEA on how to install a damn SSD card. How many threads does the Ryzen 5 1600 have? No more the better

[Bisjac]

ryzen or dont use amd at all.
its not even about price, older amd are just WAY WAY to old. your comp will not age well.

you guys laugh but this is actually his pc

[Kareem]

After research, 12 gawd damn threads holy stuff. Great recommendation on the the case, Fractal Design and Corsair cases are dope af

[Mr Queeba]

like the others are saying, going with an amd fx cpu will be a big mistake especially since it will bottleneck new nvidia gpus. go with ryzen, it's 1000000 times better and it should do well for what you want, especially for editing.

i recommend this build
also,

Also I have literally NO IDEA on how to install a damn SSD card.

you install them just like you would a normal hard drive, they share the same power and SATA cables. depending on your case, you may need to put it into a smaller bracket or screw it into a big bracket tho.

How many threads does the Ryzen 5 1600 have? No more the better

the ryzen 5 1600 has 12 threads which should be plenty

[Bisjac]

do games even use more than 4cores+4threads yet?
the bigger ones good for multitasking apps and editing/rendering stuffs though.

[Juncoph]

Also I have literally NO IDEA on how to install a damn SSD card

they fit harddrive slots, take harddrive power cables, and take SATA cables like a harddrive would

in other words, the installation is identical

just make sure in the BIOS that the drives are connected via AHCI and not IDE, iirc SSDs don't play nice with IDE and harddrives do just as well if not better on AHCI than on IDE

do games even use more than 4cores+4threads yet?
the bigger ones good for multitasking apps and editing/rendering stuffs though.

AMD's return to the front line via the new ryzen chips means we probably won't see any games that try going past four cores until AMD either falls behind or comes up with their own version of hyperthreading

a lot of games still aren't even multithreaded at all though

[Renderman In A Bowl]

Everyone else is lying. Just get a phenom x6 1100t black edition. It clocks higher than all of ryzen so it's way better

[pefu19]

you guys laugh but this is actually his pc

wait what

[Bisjac]

well that was a pointless bump of a topic you did there

[MicroEDGE]

well that was a pointless bump of a topic you did there

well actually he finished it

i'll find a link later
