The reason I went with those specs is because he said $1,200. If he said lower I would have gone lower accordingly :) Also, the RX580 and 1600X would not be good for 144hz gaming.

@ndelaespada With a budget of $1,200 including a 144hz 1080P monitor, here's what I would go with: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/b3hjrV Some notes: * The CPU and Monitor pricing is hardcoded because they are much cheaper at Microcenter. * I went with a B450 motherboard because they are going to support the new Zen 3 Ryzen…

Ah the double CPU definitely makes it less shocking but agreed margins must be thin.
-
Curious how those are dedicated threads? There are only 20 threads on that processor so if they are dedicated then the total revenue on that server is less than $35.
-
A 1080P 144hz monitor plus the hardware that will be able to push that refresh rate (or close) should be able to fall under your $1,200 budget. I will put put together a PCPartsPicker build list this afternoon.
-
Yeah computers and gaming is a passion so I definitely enjoy and appreciate the higher-end stuff. I will say there is a massive difference in experience gaming on an ultra-wide at high refresh. I could never go back :D
-
Favourable results is relative though. I have a 49" super ultra-wide monitor at 5120x1440 and 120Hz. Even my 2080 Ti struggles to reach 60FPS on a lot of titles at that resolution. DLSS2.0 is a game changer though and is helping a lot to improve framerates at super high resolutions.
-
I agree with what you are saying with the caveat that it only really applies to 1080P 60hz. If you are gaming at higher resolutions and higher refresh rates you definitely need to step-up from the budget tier.
-
Agreed on the Ryzens, although the XTs are not worth the price increase. 3600X is like the gold standard of a budget CPU. Also the desktop Ryzen 4000 series is actually Zen 3 but won't be arriving until this fall at the earliest.
-
Yeah it's such a fun experience. I am sure he will be stoked. I built my first computer when I was 14 and since then have probably built 3 or 4 dozen more and I still enjoy every part of it.
-
I would agree except it sounds like he wants to do a full build with his son. Which is an awesome idea. I wish my dad did that with me!
-
How would you feel about using his same monitor now and then building a system that could be easily upgraded if/when he gets a nicer monitor? If that's the case you can do a fresh build that will handle all of those titles at 1080p 60hz for way under $1,200.
-
A fresh build with a fresh monitor should actually be built around the monitor believe it or not. Since that drives a lot of the other choices. If you were going with a 144hz 1080P monitor I would be giving you a much different recommendation than if you were going with a 240hz 1440P monitor for example. What would the…
-
Does he have a monitor already/do you plan on getting a monitor? If he is just using a standard 1080P 60hz monitor with no plans to upgrade, then that pretty much limits you to a cheaper build since the monitor would be the bottleneck.
-
Couldn't they have been scraped by those sites?
-
What is your budget? And what kind of games do you think he will want to be able to play?
-
How does it handle multiple monitors? Haven’t given desktop Linux a try since Ubuntu first came out but I’m intrigued by Mint.
-
@AnthonySmith is it kosher to post a LES-exclusive deal just in this thread? Edit: @sonic or are you looking for $7/mo non-promo pricing?
-
There are a handful that provide Ryzen CPUs in the US. Nexusbytes, ExtraVM, BuyVM, hotlineservers. Probably some more.
-
Not much is known about us since we are new. I have a small but growing and satisfied user base. Hopefully some offers coming up in the next week or so on our Bloom Basic plans will entice you to try us out for yourself. In the meantime, I am an open book if you have any questions about me or the company.
-
Hey, we have two options that would work for you. Bloom Basic * 12GB RAM * 4 vCPU Core i9 10900X (shared core) * 240GB NVMe SSD * 8TB bandwidth * Ogden, UT location $24/mo https://bloomvps.com/gameVPS-Basic.html Bloom Pro * 12GB RAM * 2 dedicated vCPU Ryzen 9 3900X * 160GB NVMe SSD * 16TB Bandwidth * 100Gbps DDoS…

Whew I must have just gotten the order in before you tried @lentro.
-
I will be posting a LES exclusive for our Bloom Pro plans in the next day or so.
-
Yeah they’re perfect for a budget/shared node. Not quite as fast single core as their Ryzen competitors, but they support 256GB RAM.
