i think i can generally figure out my own build once i figure out what im aiming at for a processor
just trying to get some info dont wanna waste anybodies time setting up an entire build when im looking for like 3 parts

No, the 1500X (3.5Ghz) automatically jumps to 3.7Ghz when needed. The 1400 (3.2Ghz) jumps to 3.5Ghz.

I'm assuming you're in Canada? You say your room is too warm?


No there are much cheaper builds that won't overclock.

Here, have a look...the ones with the X are overclockable. This list is sorted by price, in Canada.

they cost more for less ghz so there not as good or?
can i get one that boosts and set it not to boost? they have higher ghz and are cheaper o.O
or do they have less ghz but higher performance? or worse performance lol

They all boost...er have Turbo. That has nothing to do with overclocking.

Ryzen is pretty much the way to go for price/performance, atm.


I would say, that for what you want, the minimum would be....


A true 4 core CPU, 3.5Ghz or better. The FX-8350's are a 4 module CPU, not a 4 core.
16GB of DDR4 RAM. All the new AMD and Intel CPUs, (generally purchased for gaming) req. DDR4 RAM.
A GTX 1060



/e Btw, all the modern CPUs have Turbo (boost). Yes, you can turn it off, but unless you are overclocking, why would you turn it off?

Wat

What? Non x chips can overclock too




Just sayin u can get 3 cost efficient quality parts based on ur budget rather than overpaying too much on a certain part, or getting non quality parts etc.
but if u wanna figure it out on ur own u can do that too ofc

Or, you could just fill this out, and see what suggestions you get. Since budget is the limiting factor, it's always good to start with that.


Topic Title: Need a Desktop PC built

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):



/e





I can see there needs to be a hit squad, sent to the AMD, CPU naming dept. :/

Naming is pretty cryptic

Especially when they spend 4-5 years doing it one way, then changing. Intel is just as bad.

i mean if you guys really want
Budget:$400ish including tax for my specific core parts not entire pc
More specific use (what games, what programs):black desert online and other new games to come in the near future and some HD porn obviously
Planned time until purchase:maybe a month or 2 so sales wont be much use
Do you need an Operating System?: nope i got a 64bit windows 7 ultimate
Do you have any specific preferred components?: cpu motherboard ram maybe a gpu suggestions for future purchases(150-200ish range) maybe a case
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:wired and im good with an onboard sound card thingy
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: stock cooling maybe a better heatsink fan since my room does get warm
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:nope
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): ontario canada


i dont want to overclock due to romo temp and would like to have a decent base you said only the x can be OC but the X have the higher base ghz but i wanted to save on MB by not OC and having a decent base speed
idk boost turbo w/e shit like i said my pc is old as f ive had it for like 10 years its using ddr 2 ram i used to know whats up but its been so long idk shit anymore i havnt kept up
