I'm using the case i have so to cut costs, also my video card and psu.

Also I'm going to go the way of "AMD" ddr4

If you think you can do better then i can, it would be a great idea to post your thoughts on my new build, and thanks ahead. :geek: :cool:

 

I am new to this whole amd thing :pinch: :confused:

You could get away with a B350 MOBO and save a a lot of money. I would also suggest trying to get at least 3000Mhz memory, as Ryzen really loves fast memory. Though I suppose you could try to overclock that RAM to be faster, but I don't think you'd get it to run quite that fast just using an overclock.

 

Something like this could be an option.

Thanks for the advice, but pc part picker is USA only, so i had to do some research on Gskills memory.

PC Part Picker does seem to have a Canadian site - so hopefully these numbers are accurate. If you could let me know then that would be helpful for future reference. Since you are using CAD as well, you might as well shoot for an X370 board as the B350 savings seem less impressive. Though, you should be able to use PCPartPicker yourself to help shop around what suits you. These components should be pretty good.

 

EDIT: You could totally use the mobo you picked out if you want to by the way - but I would try and look around at the features and see if you really want to spend so much on a motherboard.

Well my gtx 1060 just lost its memory, to a big crash this afternoon, though temps where stable and the thing wasn't overclocked or nothing. Sigh but hey i may up it and get me a 1070 this time around. That will settle my 1080P gaming for now. :happy: :geek: and save, save, and save.

 

This model seems like a good buy.

Using the website you liked, at the time of this writing, the Gigabyte model is cheaper ($599 CAD). They make great cards - and it should be a great pick.

Also, sorry about what happened to your GTX 1060. I'm no so sure I'd ever heard of such a thing happening before, but I suppose anything can happen.

Well, the 1060 is too new to be out of warranty. This happens a lot, video cards are probably the most fragile part of a modern PC. They're basically a complete computer in itself, but one you can't repair at home.

 

If you can still change it:

- Ryzen 1700 is way better and won't even cost you much more in the long run - top CPU for the socket (or near-top) hold their value, everything else drops dead. Get an 8-core, i.e. the 1700.

 

- The mobo is overly expensive. You can save on that. Say, do you need wi-fi? If not, https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157760 is a bit cheaper.

 

And that's if you want SLI. Non-SLI mobos are further cheaper. Running 1080Ti SLI, I've got impractical headroom for NV-inspector settings even in 4K... in most games I just run SLI AA (a very good version of supersampling, with single card performance) - proper AFR SLI is overkill. Unless you already have a 4K display, a single card will likely suffice. OTOH, AM4 will be long-lived, so you don't want to skimp too much. A Crossfire (non-SLI) mobo is also an option.

 

- RAM prices are through the roof, can't help that. But you can at least shop for deals: https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313668 (valid till monday; i'm sure there will be new deals then, of course)

FMod, from all that I have read you should avoid killer NIC's like the plague.

 

It is a shame though, the Asrock board looks fantastic.

[niphilim222]

I'm going to keep my old 8350 for now, I'm financially broke lol after getting a 1070 Zotac edition. Problem in my other post.

 

by then other cpu's may be out by then, or marked down in price.

Couldn't you sell your GTX 1060? If I understand correctly, the GPU ended up being perfectly fine (as mentioned in your other post) and still functions perfectly normal.
