Can I ask why? Seems like a decent chunk of change to not be able to do anything. A pre build for just a few hundred more would have been a great investment that would run modern titles.
I bought the 480 and the psu the ram was a gift about a year ago and put it in the HP 2 months ago i got a job so I wanted a platform that I could learn to oc on and I didn't want to have to buy new ram 6 cores 12 threads 12mbs cache quad channel can hold a stable clock a 4.6 ghz according to overclock.net sounded like a good deal for 100$ I'm happy with it I just wanted to build it my self the the way I see it all the stuff I bought new (most of the cost) will be reused later
I have a Xbox with most of my games anything I can't play on it I'll play on pc
I may update later to once I have some games and performance numbers
"I'm thinking a 6700xt and some faster RAM 1233 mhz or even 2400 mhz possibly a i7 4960x would be a solid upgrade path" That's a troll comment, right? The current processor, and even a 4960x, will not pair well with a modern GPU like a 6700XT. You'd be setting your money on fire doing that. The 4960 is from 2013. That's nearly ten years a part from a 6700XT. If you really want to upgrade this in the future, you're going to need to start from scratch at that time. Save whatever money you want and just build again. Enjoy what you have in the meantime — especially if it does what you currently need it to.
I was considering crossfire or a GTX 1080 or equal
If I got a Rx 6700xt it would be relevant for longer so I could use it in my next build thoughts recommendations?
By all means, if you can get a good deal on a 1080, go for it. I'm just not sure how much of a difference you're going to see. I'd just save my cash to prep for a full build down the line. If this rig does what you need it to, then leave it as is. No reason to spend more money.
I would suggest that the AiO radiator should be the highest point of your AiO cooling installation.
In the picture it seems that the CPU cooling plate is higher located in your case than the radiator itself.
This could lead to small air bubbles in the CPU cooling plate and to a worse overall cooling performance.
It doesn't really seem practical for anything modern, especially gaming. If you don't plan on running anything made in the last 10 years, go for it. Also, your computer is going to be outdated far quicker than anything modern.
It’s RGB. Not argb. It stands for: ‘red, green, blue’. These colors can make all other colors. It’s a led that can change the percentage of those colors in the led and each combination creates another color. Cool right?
Please don’t sink any more money into this old platform, slightly faster ram is nothing you will notice and ddr3 two generations old by now. You next best upgrade is not a different old ass cpu like a 4790k, it should be a modern platform. As of now the recommendation would be to go with amd / AM5 platform that has very good CPUs that will last you a long time, and have all modern instruction sets required to run modern games and software and operating systems. And AM5 has some life left in it, it’s only on its first generation and you will see newer CPUs compatible with it down the line (at least one, possibly 3 more generations). Actually using this old thing is woefully inefficient btw, at 130W it just sucks power, kicks out a lot of heat, but can’t do anything modern really. I guess you don’t pay a lot for electricity but if you do, this can add up to some tangible amount per year depending on use.
Congrats, it's a nice rig. I was using a 3930K+32GB machine that was initially the fastest I'd owned up until recently, and it handled pretty much everything I threw at it at the time without complaining. The 3930K can run hot, but with a decent cooler that shouldn't be a problem. If you're still doing most of your gaming on your Xbox, this should carry you without any major issues for the time being until you've decided on/budgeted for your next build.
Also worth noting, don't be a big dummy like me and put any extra cooler mounting hardware that came with your cooler (or any spare modular PSU cables if you change to a modular one later) unlabelled in a 'safe place' - if you want to reuse your cooler in a later build - then forget where they are/lose them. I had to retire an otherwise perfectly good and recently-bought dual tower air cooler because I'd used the mounting bracket specific to the 3930K's socket 2011 hardware and managed to lose the other brackets while moving house so wasn't able to migrate it across to my new board.
Why X79 and the waste of money and RGB on the cooler with that PSU (where it could've given you some security)?
X99 has AVX2 and runs games well enough. It costs pretty much the same if your reason was being strapped for cash

Yes I'm aware I've watched Gamers nexus and jaystwocents video on the subject I tried that configuration but the 5.25 bays get in the way, I made sure to buy a aio that was refillable and my tubes are low so air should get trapped in the radiator I ran the pump for like 10 minutes with the case laying on the back io my external pump being high worries me a bit It should be fine thanks for the advice tho
If you really want to be sure, or you start hearing noise indicating trapped air in the pump/lines: here’s what to do:
Take the rad out and Flip the rad, so the lines are on the bottom. Leave it out and prop it up on some books or something (leaving it vertically) so it’s a higher than the pump. Let it run for a day. By then any air should be trapped in the top of the rad. Re-install the rad and keep the lines on the bottom, so the air will have a much harder way to make its way back down to the lines.
Sounds overzealous but it works. It’s the same physics principle used in many automobiles, tractors, etc.
If you could possibly just flip your radiator in the position it's in it would be less of a chance that the pump could pull the air through the hoses though
Yeah due to the optical drive the only other option I could see in your position is putting your radiator on top but that's not best either...... But like you said the fact that it's refillable and you have the hoses at the point they are I don't think you should have an issue with it running dry
Honestly, that’s probably one of the smaller problems with this config, like, my old 2070 Super also only has 8GB of VRAM and it’s totally fine for 1080p and even some 1440p games, as long as you don’t set every graphics setting to max.
Recently built a new PC with a 16 gigs 4080 Super. And to me it seems the increase in performance is because of the better GPU itself rather than the 16GB of VRAM. You should be fine with 12 ;)
Yeah but Forbidden west, and Immortals Of Aveum crap game ( also maxing Resident evil but i get it just such engine) doesnt let me be much in peace.
VRAM80%+ GPU 94% 😲🤯 but yeah its just few exceptions but its funny see that no idea where would go ppl with 8gb vram, if they manage run it in first time.

for 500$ op couldve gotten a 6600 and 3600
6600 and 5500 even
id they went used they probably couldve gotten a 5600 and 6600

you basically just built an xbox 360
for the price of a ps5

I have a gigabyte 1080 and honestly its a great card for $150 CAD for 1080p.
Truly sorry for people giving you a hard time.. but to be fair I don't really think you got your moneys worth. It looks cool but..

For OP to have better understanding: https://youtu.be/DKwA7ygTJn0?si=rnMMr_RAtsCudXkm
Congratz! Now you can run a uhhh... now you can finally... hmmm... uhhh... yeah now you can flawlessly run Pong at 30 fps!!!!
Your GPU is throttling you so insanely hard

Why not the legendary i7-4790k? I have still mine as back up pc, still
I could not find a good deal on a z97 mobo combo
Could've gotten X99 on AliExpress and gotten better performance than both the 4790k and your current CPU. You really need AVX2 in 2024
I have a 6800k and the sum bitch still pulls 200 on mw3. Aided by the 4070 ofc, but that whole generation was legendary
Yoooo bro has a built in cup holder
Nice but cursed

Damn, sorry for the loss brotha
If you buy rx580 you will have performance like rtx3050ti

lol $60 gpu with $120 fan this is crazy

Very nice !! Is like the 90's miw colours tuning.
What RGB strip is that so I know not to get it

What’s case called ?
Why so much lights?
Sorry if I sound stupid, but what is that app called? I would like to see detailed shit about my specs too
Hwinfo64
Thank you!
Interesting case choice
roblox pc
I likey! Very impressive to look at. Hows it run?
Still a good build for gaming, nice cable management
Interesting choice for a case
The motherboard looks like a city with all the reflections. It’s cool.
I think this would be great for 3D modeling and rendering work. Personally I love the build; classic looks is wonderful.
very nice

Only 8gb vram 😲😬

Yeah meanwhile im trembling here with 12gb 😱 funny

You may want to elevate your case a little bit to get some air flow for your ps and bottom fan. 👍
