Thats the bare minimum (liability) and does not include all of the extra legal hoops i have to jump through

TL;DR i caused a major car crash (5 cars totaled) and still trying to deal with everything

#21785

RIP thats fucking bad, so youā€™d be looking at much more by the end of that it really wouldnā€™t be worth it?

Not bad looks like a fairly solid build, should be able to handle gaming pretty well too. Do you plan on sticking with the APU or to possibly include a dGPU in future when you can afford it?

gonna have to stick with the APU for a while but its going to be a big enough upgrade that the jump to a dGPU wont actually be worth it

ye should be able to handle 1080p pretty well at least. thats a nice monitor also hopefully you can push over 60 in some games for it too. Is that one also freesync? canā€™t seem to find out.

Ye. Made sure to get freesync because if im going to spend money on something ill only buy once then i better make sure it does what i want. VGA + Displayport + HDMI so plenty of options to connect all the things

EDIT. Guess not. Could have sworn i had freesync selected :frowning:

ye you have time though, maybe by then there might be some better deals and more monitors to choose from too.

yep. The power supply that comes with the case is fairly overkill since im going to be doing a fair bit of power tuning to keep the heat low and performance high

also should probably get a mobo with displayport so you can actually use free-sync :stuck_out_tongue: though i think some monitors do it over HDMI not many. though can maybe get an adapter but meh

Yes it is. Itā€™s the default setting on eBay. You have to go to advanced listing and enable the Buy It Now option to override auctions.

ye. Is a rough list for a reason. Ive done 0 cross checking XD

#21801

ye what are you plans for that? undervolting and mess with the power states and stuff to find the right balance

Worse part is AM4 motherboards that have DisplayPort are quite hard to come by, I couldnā€™t find any at all when I bought mine but that was at launch.
