and dont forget to buy thermal paste ๐Ÿ˜ƒ for the cpu

    Jdellis6656 Okay here is a picture of the build. I apologize idk why it wouldn't let you see it.

    Perfectly displayed. There must be a problem with Linux.

    kuligs2 and dont forget to buy thermal paste ๐Ÿ˜ƒ for the cpu

    Usually cooler manufacturers add thermal paste. Good manufacturers put decent thermal paste.

    Jdellis6656 My suggestion is to not rush into buying a new comp. I'll give you more details later.

      Tomcat Usually cooler manufacturers add thermal paste. Good manufacturers put decent thermal paste.

      that paste is already dry on arrival. better be safe to scrape that garabge off and put noc-tuah paste on it, or arctix. Dont use the liquid metal.

      i think blud already put up the order. you might be few hours too late

        Not sure on RAM prices these days but I would always go for more RAM, especially if you want to do something productive with your machine. So 32 GB in this case.

        kuligs2 this paste was already dry on arrival.

        I'm embarrassed to ask, do you live on the outer reaches of the solar system? In my cooler they just put a tube of thermal paste and it would probably take a few years for it to dry. And it's not a top-of-the-line manufacturer (ID-COOLING).

        Tomcat Perfectly displayed. There must be a problem with Linux.

        I can view it just fine under manjaro linux over here.

        No, the good ones include a tube or a sealed packet to apply by yourself. Usually a small one only tho.

          Megalomaniak I can view it just fine under manjaro linux over here.

          interesting, i was on binbows

          never had these, maybe with noctua. Im remembering right, yeah noctua pack is some grease. Thats why i got like 3 tubes of that sauce ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. I just solved my year old question - why do i have so many sauce tubes? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

          haha. sorry, I was at work. I'm not rushing into purchasing anything just yet. I'm all about feedback! This is the first time I've really tried picking out components, so I'm sure I made mistakes.

          Jdellis6656 like i said earlier, look it up at the motherboard manufuckers website, using the motherboard model, then go to support section or compatibility section, and there will be memory compatibility.. the pc part pickler and other websites just check if its DDR4 or DDR5 etc, but that does not mean that its compatible with your CPU/motherboard combination. Each ram has its own serial number type key type, that you can look up and see if the one you selected matches the one you ordered.

          As an eggzample

          https://www.asus.com/bt/motherboards-components/motherboards/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-b550-plus/helpdesk_qvl_memory?model2Name=TUF-GAMING-B550-PLUS

            Jdellis6656 So, my current specs are an intel i5-10400F with 16GB of ram, 1TB NVME, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 super, i just ordered a NZXT 750w 80+ gold psu. i only have a 400w psu right now.

            that sounds like a pretty good PC, at least to me. the GPU is maybe the weak part, and you could always do with some more RAM.

            may I ask what is the reason for the upgrade? have you tried developing a game and hit a wall? or have you not done so yet?

            unless this is a laptop, you could try upgrading the RAM, replacing the stick with a bigger one. and then getting a better graphics card and power supply.
            you would have to open the case, look at the motherboard number, and look it up on the internet to see what memory is supported. or try to find the motherboard manual if it came with the PC.

              IMHO, for the price you want to drop vs what you can get used... for WAY less.... makes a used pc a good investment... I would search around for someone trying to part with one (Facebook market place etc). I would avoid used laptops as they are more "single use" internally and just poop the bed performance wise compared to their boxy brethren (as i"m typing this on my 12 year old laptop ;P).
              People buy/build computers for TOP DOLLAR, and within a year or so realize they don't need it/cant use it.... and go and buy a console 99% of the time.
              As long as you have a minimal understanding of computers, you can get something that can be upgraded/built up for pennies on the dollar. even if they were "crypto mining" with it and cooked something.... for "half" off the sticker price you could replace "x" component and still be under the original price.
              As a side bonus... 9/10 times the person "throws" in their super fancy mouse, keyboard, monitor, and of course rgb lightsystem (bc thats essential).
              Unless you just want the new box smell or NEED something spec specific..... source someone else's impulse buy.
              I understand you live in the sticks.... but so do other people.... and if anything you'll get a good deal based off supply/demand.

              kuligs2 like i said earlier, look it up at the motherboard manufuckers website, using the motherboard model, then go to support section or compatibility section, and there will be memory compatibility..

              This is, if not the most damaging advice, then certainly one of the most damaging. Here's the reason.

              1. The QVL-list is created when the board is released and is never updated again. If a company releases a new module that is fully compatible and has better features, it will not be included in this list.
              2. It is hilarious to see memory from companies from โ€œUncle Liao's basementโ€, while serious companies are often poorly represented in such lists. That is, chips from Hynix and Samsung, but modules directly from them are not in the list! Really?

              the pc part pickler and other websites just check if its DDR4 or DDR5 etc,

              Yep, that's quite enough. When companies are held to a standard.

              kuligs2 I can say, once you go OLED, you dont want to go back.

              Well, yeah, that's true, but

              It feels like almost CRT but more vivid and clear.

              apparently you haven't dealt with top-of-the-line CRTs.

              Jdellis6656 If you are going to build a workstation on server components, then you will have to study memory banks and rows - it is necessary for accessibility of large amounts of memory... but it is very different from building a household computer.

                Jdellis6656 First the basis:

                The comp to make the game should be a level above the target platform (the comp that will be played on).

                In fact, in general, @Jesusemora has already said everything I wanted to say.

                1. First you need to decide what kind of games you are going to make and what their requirements will be.
                2. Your comp is quite suitable for learning and creating simple prototypes.
                  If you really want, you can add memory. It will not be bad. And, most importantly โ€ฆ buy a disk forโ€ฆ 2-4 Tb. For the archive: sources, assets, training projects and prototypes. The volume is consumed very quickly.

                Jdellis6656 here is a rough build i put together, if anyone is willing to look and critique.

                A good set for games. But not for making them. But if you want to take it, then:

                1. replace the WD 770 with an 850.
                2. add memory.

                Big case โ€” good cooling. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ

                Ah yeah, as is the tradition here, my configuration:

                And, it makes deep sense to buy a good monitor instead of a computer.

                My main monitor: AOC 27โ€™โ€™ QHD OLED gaming monitor AGON PRO AG276QZD

                But you can get a big OLED TV instead of a monitor. I have an LG OLED42C2 (my 2nd monitor).

                  Jesusemora I'm actually going to give this computer to my wife. after I picked it up she tried playing on it and liked it. It plays everything she's into with ease. I'm wanting to build my own that's a little more optimized for productivity and getting as much out of Godot as I can afford to. id like something that has more futureproofing, I'm super new so I have no clue what I'm doing when it come to picking a build.

                  Tomcat Thank you! That's extremely helpful! Could i afford to build something that is a step or two up from my current? with a $1,200.00 USD budget? Honestly i was mostly picking stuff on the fly for that build. My aim is to make 3D games my current comp could handle.

                  What should I prioritize most? I know with the CPU I need the highest core and thread count I can reasonably get, GPU doesn't seem to be as high of a priority as lots of ram and storage. or do I have that wrong? Should I go with an older Socket? or are the newer ones better?

                  I swear YouTube build guides leave me with more questions then they answer.
