Agreed. The CPU is clearly the bottleneck more so then the gtx1060 at this point. Hence why I recommended going to 3600/3700x. The IPC advancements, more cores/threads, and DDR4 make it a VERY nice upgrade from an old i5 3570k.
I say this while back at work (1st time in 3 months not working...
The i5-3570K is a 4core/4 thread CPU. It is done, literally dead in the water and an over 8 year old chip at this point. 4cores/4theads just doesn't cut it anymore.
I recently upgraded from a i7-3770k (4c/8t) with a RX580 8gb (similar performance to your gtx1060) to a 3700x build using the...
Figured I should update the thread with a conclusion.
I spent last night building the PC and some time with cable management. Everything went smoothly and the PC is dead silent and cool (seems to be boosting up to 4.3+ pretty regularly). I still need to do some stress testing. I think the...
Hey thanks for the suggestion. I considered it. But, found a deal for a 2TB 660p for $220 at B&H. Just updated my parts list. Not a world beater deal (IIRC seeing it for $189 around BF/the holidays), but with Covid-19 and all I grabbed it.
Re: dedicated/discrete GPU
That is definitely getting into a more technical question. I have no idea of the demands of the program, nor am I a graphic designer, or if that particular program can be "accelerated" or benefited by a GPU. Maybe if you gave a list of any specific programs you plan...
Hey man...looks like you were a member way back when like me. Things have seemed to slow down quite a bit in the Forums since I last built my pc in 2012. I have a similar build thread going and haven't gotten a bite. I've done some pretty extensive research on parts, looking to build a...
Hey Folks,
I am finally moving on from my Old/1st PC Build from 2012 (for those that said no one would need an i7 w/8 threads or 16gb of ram that has not aged well). My wife and I are both working from home and her company has given her $1000 toward a PC of her choice and I will be kicking in...
I believe you may need to go to a higher wattage PSU to get two P4 connectors. I am no PS expert, so someone else can chime in here.
For example: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16817139234
^^^^The Corsair RM850x and 1000x have two P4s.
Edit: Just noticed this thread...

Didn't see your part listed, but maybe try contacting Antec directly. I believe they are not making the case anymore, so it may be hard to come by.
I have been contemplating an upgrade of GPU due to a new monitor purchase I recently made.
Relevant PC Specs (built it back in 2012):
i7 3770K
Asus DII GTX670 2GB
16GB Ram
256GB Samsung 830 SSD
Corsair AX650 Gold PS
Monitor: LG 34" UW 2560 x 1080, 75Hz Refresh Rate w/ FreeSync
Thinking of...
From experience all the combo (modem/wifi) Xfinity/comcast units suck. Its a multitasker (jack of all trades if you will), so its going to be bad at something because you can only put so much power through the unit.
That something it is bad at is WiFi. I have had both triple pay and double...
What games do you play? resolution? what monitor?
Why not get a 512gb 950 pro? Its $330. The Evo and the 950 you have listed = $346. Then just grab a 1TB HD like a Western Digital Black for $74 or blue for $54. IMHO its the better route for only $40-$60 more. Unless you have to have 2 SSDs...
IMHO no modern/new computer should be sold without an SSD. To me its like watching non HD TV, its just not necessary any more and painful. Even budget sub $500 builds that I did for my parents and sister (only internet and word processing) have an SSD in them and i3 CPU.
And I say this while...
