No, not worth 1000 AUD. Not even close, especially used. The 3570k is 6 years old and is only four cores. Its performance would be pretty similar to something like a Ryzen 3 1300x... which is a lower performance/budget CPU and not what you'd want.
My last build had a 3570k and it was good while...
Your 4690k should be able to hold you over until Zen 2 (Ryzen 3) comes out in a few months. It's on 7nm instead of 12 or 14 nm like with Zen 1 and Zen 2 frequencies are supposed to be quite a bit better than Zen 1 since it's no longer on the 12/14 nm LPP (low power process, beneficial for lower...
That's normal. Usually just older power supplies will have that; it's not used on modern motherboards. You don't need to worry about it missing.
You can see the pinout below (24 pin). I've also linked the Wikipedia page if you want to read that.

Integrated Vega 8 won't get you very far but it'd be better than Intel Integrated graphics. Not really sure what the build is for..

If you're looking for a prebuilt then refurbished is probably your best bet, but it'll be hard to find anything that's better...
You're probably going to have to spend a bit more than that for a good power supply. Even here in the States where things are cheaper, a quality PSU is usually going cost more than $50.
Yeah the 2.4GHz band is your best bet. This is what I would buy
You can also get a directional antenna to use with this to get more range if you need to (I don't think you will)
Well first off, what's the limiting factor? Is the signal in your car just bad compared to in the house, are you using the 2.4GHz band while he's using the 5GHz band, does he even get the bandwidth the package he pays for is supposed to give?
The 2.4GHz band will give you superior range but the...
Tried Overwatch when I was at my friend's place and it was a blast. Bought it as soon as I got home.
I've been really bored of games lately but Overwatch is loads of fun. Totally worth the $20 I paid
Ryzen kicked ***. EPYC is gonna steal a good amount of the server market away from Intel
Now I just hope Vega is more promising than the marketing is making it look.
I would really recommend not trying to future-proof your build. If you don't need the upgrades yet, don't upgrade. New products will come out which will be more efficient, faster, cheaper, etc. Your money in the future will get you more performance than it will now (if that makes sense to you)...
Lol please. I just bought three of these bad boys
PC is gonna be ridiculously fast. Probably gonna have to shell out the cash for one of these to keep things in check though :/
I think you should be more than fine. I haven't played Rust in quite a while but my GTX 780 has always handled it just fine and the 480 is even better.
Meh, 580 was just a refresh anyway. Vega is at most two months away and I'm looking forward to seeing how that turns out. Really want AMD to get back to pushing Nvidia and Intel around. It's been too long.
If you haven't decided already then you might want to try putting 7-10 pounds of stuff (to represent a gaming laptop) in your backpack along with a couple notebooks and a maybe a textbook and see if you're alright with the weight. My laptop weighs about 5 pounds and I just carry it and a...
Yeah a good VPN would be a lot better solution than a new router. You can have the best router out there but nothing is going to be able to stop a strong DOS/DDOS attack.
Your ping might take a slight hit, but if you're connected through a VPN you'll be far less susceptible to people booting...
My bad. What I used what King root, not kingo. Though they both seem to be at least somewhat sketchy, with king root being the sketchier of the two from what I see. I didn't realize there was another "root all" sort of app.
I've got the Note 4 for my main phone and spec-wise it's still pretty good for being a few years old. Screen is Quad HD AMOLED so it's still a relatively nice phone. They run about $170-$190 on eBay for a refurb last time I checked. Mine was really easy to root (T-mobile variant). Also has...
I mean, if you want to possibly deal with weirdos and/or cheapskates that will try to talk you down to $300 for the entire build, you could try selling on craigslist. I mean there's also gonna be people who know nothing about PCs and use iBuyPower prices as a benchmark of what a gaming PC costs...
