Critique My Build

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/6PnH3F

Barely enough to run my Node.js ``app''. Shit build, /g/ro.

Doesn't look like it even has a Fibre Channel HBA, lame.

The Intel PCIE SSDs(24TB total,each ) can serve as swap or virtual memory.
Working with Big Data apps can also use the 38TB of Samsung PM863 SSDs(520MB/s in sequential reads) for a total of 38+24+1=63TB of virtual RAM, leaving the 1TB M.2 Plextor for permanent storage).

A much cheaper server if you don't need "Big Data":

A NAS without ECC memory? What the fuck.

>>7
Only inferior filesystems need ECC to function

>>8
ZFS doesn't require ECC, but it's highly recommended.

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ztjyFd a HDD based NAS for 500$

>>10
Major advantages of HDD technology:
1.Unlimited Write Cycles
2.Steady Performance Over Time
3.Lack of complex, faulty electronics.
4.Errors localized to faulty blocks.
5.Robust and time-tested SMART reporting technology

>>10
Why no ECC memory? Do you like your files to go corrupt?

My current primary system I built after my thinkpad died.

I have more powerful, albeit older, gaming and server hardware, but it's fun to program on this one. Plus it's the last generation of hardware from AMD that isn't infected with PSP.

It's not bad, but I think my APU build is a little better for programmers/enthusiasts looking for a budget system, although it's certainly more expensive for non-programmers just looking to play some games and watch videos.

- The A10-7850k stock CPU cooler is actually half decent, no need for after-market cooler unless you're overclocking, but why bother? Not sure about stock cooler in A10-7700K, but worth investigating.
- A88X mobo chipset is quite a bit better than the A68, as it can handle DDR3-2400 clock rates because...
- The faster DDR3-2400 memory delivers a huge benefit in graphics fill-rate performance for APU builds and it's only $15 more. No need to skimp out here.
- The Intel SSD I salvaged from my laptop, didn't need to pay for it. If I was starting from scratch, would have gone with a cheaper brand.
- Mid-tower chassis is a bit excessive for Mini ITX builds, the Antec P50 I bought came with a 140mm chassis fan included.
- 600W PSU is more than I need, but I wanted to future proof in case I decided to throw a discrete GPU in there later.

Was thinking about an RX 460 as an add-on recently, but I'm going to hold out for an entry-level or mid-range Vega HBM2 card. Will also be doing a bigger budget Zen + Vega enthusiast desktop build next year as well, might even up it to a 32-core Naples + ECC RAM build if the initial motherboards have good build quality. Want something that will last the next 7-10+ years for serious programming work.

The owner of Xgody is Shen Zhen Xin Sheng Shang Technology Company. The Company is found in 2009 and major on eBay business 6 years. We established this website and created Xgody brand is for serving our clients more professionally and we also want to give more and more people excellent service and good items.

Value Regret hypothesis:
We buy cheaper stuff to avoid future regret over value-loss per-time. It is psychologically hard to think the "expensive component" will lose 50% or even 75% of its value.
Value Preservation hypothesis:
We buy more expensive stuff to avoid changing current setup, preserving its value("Future-proofing").

When buying something that rapidly advances/changes in price like GPU/SSD Value Regret prevents buying more expensive items.
When buying something that has a stable price like monitors,computer cases,mice, keyboards we tend to buy more expensive options for Value Preservation.
CPU/Memory are something in between and that feels more hard to choose because there isn't a clear future of these parts.

I buy the most expensive things so I can brag about it online.

>>36 just remember to pick less popular images and reverse image search the resulting image so /g/ won't catch you

Thing is, with the fabs about to hit a brick wall, there's going to be a massive slow down in new, revolutionary tech coming to market. Only incremental improvements. After 2022, it's going to slow down even more. Most mid to high-end systems people buy in 2017-2018 are going to last them a long time.

My Core i7 920 system is 7 years old, and it's still solid as long I've kept upgrading the GPU every other year. But it doesn't support PCIe 3.0 or USB 3.0, so probably time to do another big upgrade.

All of this new tech will be suppressed, only Israel will have access to it.

I know I'm preaching to the choir but please don't buy Intel. They are evil. I'm not a Foss hipster or anything but please don't buy Intel.

>>54
What do you suggest then? AMD is the only other vendor of x86 processors (which granted, are ridiculously inefficient and overly complicated) and they're almost as bad as Intel, and ARM vendors are starting to go the same way. It's getting to the point where you'll have to manufacture your own processors if you care about freedom.

>>54
Well I buy AMD because I specifically was referring to Intel's malicious business practices. But you're right if you are concerned about individual freedoms no manufacturers are there for you

>>55 False. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenCores

Check em

>>56
While this initiative is certainly awesome, is there some initiative that actually manufactures CPU based on these designs? It's possible that an individual is able to go visit a chip fabrication plant (in China or elsewhere) and contract them to fabricate a chip, but it's very inconvenient for most consumers as we have no experience in these kinds of processes.

What I'm saying is that I don't want to directly contact a Chinese chip fabricator and instead, I'd prefer to do business with someone who has taken the time to do all this to produce a consumer-level chip that's as powerful as a Pentium 4 or later.

>>58
seconded

Thirded.
What are we supporting again?

>>58

Yes it is.Costs start from 5k till 200k. Just depends what kind of technology, you want to use. You can get a couple of samples then.

For a pentium 4 like processor, you will sit in the high end range. Here have a price list: http://cmp.imag.fr/IMG/pdf/cmp_prices_schedule_sept-16.pdf
