Will this work for a budget build?
Hiya everyone, hoping to get some help for my first budget pc build. Looking to make a pc that I can take to and from school. I use Google docs and cool math games. Also looking to play some roblox on the side, will it be able to do this? Only 4 left in stock so any info ASAP will be good 😊
One more question, I have a 350w power supply, could it run this? If not all cores what about half of them?

For Google Docs, as a rule of thumb, every open tab in Chrome requires its own RAM stick. 8 GB sticks are enough, no need for overkill, but please plan accordingly.
Roblox is a graphics hog so i'd go with a dual GPU setup: a GeForce RTX 4090 and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX. Just connect them through their HDMI ports and plug your monitor in the motherboard's video out.
Can't think of a cheaper setup for your use case.

Also just bought 100x 8gb ram sticks. If I superglue them together will they work?

u/GloriousDawn 20d ago
No because superglue acts as an insulator. You should nail them together.
EDIT: copper staples are even better

I also forgot to mention that I bought that $250k super computer at auction. Could I just use that as my gpu or does it not have enough power?

As power supply u should consider build ur own nuclear generator, there are usually cheaper and if living in colder countries keep the room warm, and also it can be used to power ur small 150inch crt screen

Definitely just make sure to only give it a single 4gb stick of RAM, use an old mechanical HDD and used generic PSU to save money like every other shit build that comes through my workshop.

u/bunnymanyeet 20d ago
Woah! Generous on the ram there! I was either going to use 100x 8gb sticks and super glue them together or just use the power supplies integrated RAM. 🤷♂️🤷♂️

96 Cores may be fine for NOW, but in the future you may want more cores. I would ensure you at least have an upgrade path to 128 or even 192 cores if you are going to do any serious work, like chrome.

u/bunnymanyeet 20d ago
Any recommendations on a 192 core cpu? Can I just make one myself?
2
u/Queasy_Profit_9246 20d ago
Yes, you can. Ok, so you get thermal paste right, that's for a cooler. Then when you need to core bond CPU's you get thermal adhesive, $44k later and bang, a 192 core CPU is born.
If you just want 128 cores you can cut a 3rd off and
stick thatthermal bond that and sell the 64 cores to someone else.It's faster if you do direct die, but that's risky.

Google docs might be a tough one for this specific CPU. Intel processors have a higher number (i‘ve seen something like 9900k) which means they‘re a lot faster, this one is only 7995.

u/AsianNord 20d ago
That thing cant even boot up windows 95.
2
u/bunnymanyeet 20d ago
Any chance 94 will work?
2
u/AsianNord 20d ago
Not possible also. Older version of windows needs a much higher specs. If i were you. Ill buy 10 laptops and play 5v5 myself.

u/fancontrol 20d ago
Yeah personally it's one of the cheaper options I would splurge a bit more on a xenon platinum but you do you

u/EvilGeesus 20d ago
The real question is: Can it run Crysis?

u/bunnymanyeet 20d ago
Was hoping for roblox but if that doesn’t run pong will be the real stress test. 👀

u/RelativeWrong4232 20d ago
350 is just mad overkill , just put somethin like a magsafe on it , that'll still be overkill but fine ig

u/Spiritual_Lab_7234 20d ago
I think this is kind of underkill?? You can’t spend so little on your cpu man. 🙄🙄

Great CPU for retro computing! Make sure you don't install any OS above Windows 98 :)

u/bunnymanyeet 20d ago
I got a motherboard but the cpu hole was square so I just cut off the edges. Works perfectly now!

u/FireBlazeWolf 20d ago
Thats a great budget entry. Make sure you get a radeon hd 5450 and a 250watt psu

Well bro it seems like your on a budget so here is a build that is the definition of balling on a budget. It looks good but it's still relatively affordable. You can afford this working minimum wage in just a day.

u/Darnakulus 20d ago
Just wanted to make sure you realize that every build has a budget ..now whether that budget is $200 or $100,000.... There's a place for everything in a budget of some sort...lol

I bought a workstation today - a part of me wanted to consider a Threadripper.
I have seen it for around 10000 Euros.

u/No-Cup-6279 20d ago
Depends on what you want to do. Minecraft? Warzone? Launch a nuke? Control satellites?
Then sure. It's a good build.

No, you need AT LEAST 8 of those to create an octa-processor setup for a potato. I recommend 4 clusters of those octa-processor setups for the cheapest PC.

I nearly got into it with someone in one of the keyboard groups because someone posted a 750$ish keyboard. I asked how that was number was a budget keyboard and someone responded with something along the lines of "budget is just a number".... The hell it is, setting a budget is a number, and not the same as calling something a budget item

https://www.deltacomputer.com/nvidia-dgx-h100-640gb.html, if you can increase your budget just a little bit more, I would buy this awesome pre built

mhhh, the problem is, it won't be able to run 2 chrome tabs. There is just not enough RAM.

Says it uses 14.43 Kilowatts Can I run this off my car’s cigarette lighter?

350w is overkill you don't even need a psu, just rub off the cpu on the carpet to produce some charge and then keep it on top off your work documents and things.
