Quiet PC build (uk.pcpartpicker.com)
submitted 1 year ago by 13esq to c/buildapc
 

My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power.

I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D

Modern is pretty relative when your GPU generation is 4 years old.

Plus it's the lowest power of all of that gen.

I am curious how much better performance you'd get from only onboard graphics.

If you're using hi-res monitors or multiple monitors, it's probably good to not be using integrated graphics, I guess.

The 5600X doesn't have onboard graphics. That would be the 5600G, which would have about the same graphics performance as the GTX 1630.

It's relatively modern when my current graphics card is ten years old and also wasn't close to top of the range back then 😅

I'm probably just going to use one 1080p monitor for now.

I think I should have made a post asking for recommendations of "semi silent" graphics card before I selected this one.

Ah no I meant "modern" games.

But yeah 10 year old games should be fine 😜

I wanted to propose a 7600X (which has an iGPU) to OP. Turns out even the GTX 1630 is roughly around 250% faster still :-/

So not really an option either.
