i click the link and get a “permission denied” message. is your saved part list private? also assuming this is a “what do you guys think?” type thread, whats the country, budget, and use case?

3

ill fix. general purpose daily driver, including gaming. us. budget is… flexible… planning on buying over time.

try it again

4

What’s the GPU?

EDIT: Nevermind

6

Yeah, reopened the link and it was there.

For gaming I’d up the GPU.

That’s a lot of RAM. Doing stuff other than gaming I take it?

Could probably pinch some pennies getting a slightly smaller PSU, but not much in the grand scheme of things.

Overall pretty decent as it is.

8

it’s already an RX580… and i mostly jsut game, but i already max out at 16gb sometimes. web browser uses alot of ram.

Admin abused and put the parts in a chart in the OP

pretty solid i would be tempted to go 12 or 16 core but in your case makes no sense going beefier cpu with a 580

11

what resolution?

12

1080p atm, looking to get better. already have the rx580. gonna take it out of my current system

13

You must have a ton of tabs.

The RX580 is a fine GPU, it’s just getting a little long in the tooth IMO. The RX 5700 is faster in just about every situation, but requires more money.

14

1440 is a pretty good sweet spot right now.

depending on what you play, it might make sense.

15

yes. usually 3-400

lol, i upgraded form a 7970

16

Yeah, that’s a few tabs. A bit more than my 1 to 6 I have.

I say send it. Nothing wrong with the build. Might be able to pinch pennies here and there, but what you have ought to be good.

17

do you think i should replace my psu? i currently running a 750w corsair cx from 2013

18

It’s probably fine being a Bronze unit, but wouldn’t hurt to replace it either, especially getting a fresh warranty with a new one.

Although I’ve been spoiled by my Seasonic that I bought in 2012 so my sense of usability may be a bit skewed.

19

Sir, you have a problem.

i’ve gotten it to over a thousand

You have to stop this. Its not healthy. You have a tab addiction and its time you faced it.
