fan controller is pretty dumb
paying for windows is worse

Op here. I will get rid of fan controller right away. However i have no clue how to pirate Windows so that's why I'm buying it.

Get 8gb of ram instead. Contrary to what the autistic redditors at /v/ say, you're not going to need 16gb if you're going to be using it for gayms.
Also, why all the case fans? I'm sure that your case already comes with some, and if it doesn't why not get some that are actually good. The fan controller is just retarded and you're never going to use it.
Also, don't pay for windows.

Op here. I will do all of this. Thanks /g/

>>51297323
OP from the last thread here:
Fixed some shit. What does /g/ think?
I plan to use this PC for a long time so here are the upgrades I planned:
>Add Samsung 850 Pro SSD
>Add more RAM
>Add another Fury/Switch to Fury X's
>Maybe replace processor
Additionally, I have a temporary monitor so I probably wont get a new one immediately.

Not OP but I went with 16GB so I can use it as a ram disk
>>
Just fuck my shit up:

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Ctbpdx/saved/Y4mKHx

Likely will downgrade to 8gb ram, but for some reason people here say I should get an i7 when performance benchmarks aren't significantly better. Why?

Op here. My only concern is that will 1080 60fps my games. Please help

do you want more stable frame rates or more money in your pocket

Also getting this still undecided on ti or normal 980 and thats raid 0 ssd and raid 1 hard drive http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/vTq3P6
>>
>>51298774
personally I would go for this:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LFrVVn

Upgrade to ddr4 and the newest intel architecture.

Nicer looking mobo for them A E S T H E T I C S .

Better gfx card.

pick up a cheep disk drive for like $5 at goodwill and pirate windows or whatever.

Just a suggestion.
>>
>>51297615
16GB is ideal, windows is very good at managing ram so you have enough but you will notice if you have more you do use more. Most I have used at one time is 13GB I think. Its not a bad investment.

>>51297388
Also this, do it.
>>
>>51297437
lol are you like 12
>>
>>51297615

Disagree, 16GB here and I use 50%+ often.

Im a college student trying to do a modest build to replace my 660ti and i5-3550

>CPU: i5 6600 skylake 3.3 GhZ - $230
>GPU: MSI R9 390 - $300
>Mobo: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GA-Z170X -$170
>RAM: G Skill Ripjaws V series 2x4gb DDR4 2133 - $52
>SSD: SanDisk 240GB - $80
>PSU: Corsair Hxi HX750i 750 W 80+ Plat. - $130
>Case: Corsair Carbide 500R - $90
>Cooling: H100i GTX 240mm Rad. - $110
Total: $1,154.92
OS: Windows 7 ofc


Ive got some flak for wanting to use the h100i. I want to move to liquid cooling for more silence and for generally better cooling. The top mount of the 500R is 2x120mm so 240mm Rad might as well go there and utilize the space (i figured)
>>
>>51300989
Why are you replacing that? it's not even three years old. You're just wasting money.
>>
>>51300989
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6FL2P6
heres a link to it

I cannot tell if it would be more or less expensive to order from random vendors to complete the build or just go through new egg.
>>
>>51301070
Why am I replacing the 660ti? Because it can barely run fallout 4, let alone not constantly crash. I want to play current gen on Ultra because I dont want to look at a fuzzy potato of a game.
>>

I see you dabble in the liberal arts.

>>51301164
No im a finance major and I work 30 hours a week. Ive paid my rent for the entire year, and I have $10,000 in savings. I figured I'd spend some money on myself and my personal hobby.

building a pc for cad and development

how does this look?

>>51301204
whats the point of being this autistic? My friends father is a finance major from the same school I go to and he is the Vice-Chair of a Bank and makes a couple million a year. I understand you may say "muh fuggin STEM", but I promise there are business majors who own engineers not the other way around.

OP, HERE ARE SOME /g/ APPROVED TIPS

>buying w7
DONT. ubuntu/mint, pirate if you have to

>membrane keyboard
Get mechanical, cherry browns are quiet and comfy. Ducky shine is a great option.

>no SSD
>CD drive
What is this, 2006?

>TN panel monitor
The fuck aren't you getting IPS for, faggot?

16gb is overkill dude, 2 sticks of 4 running dual channel will work better.
>>
>>51301234
even liberal arts majors being compared to business is pretty sad. liberal arts majors at least want to try to do something good.
>>

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j2cqt6

I just saved you enough money to get a 980Ti at the cost of 30 extra dollars.

>>51300989

Don't replace it. Fallout 4 is an unoptimized piece of shit and the 550Ti can play Fallout 4.

>>51301262

Agree with this anon 100% except needing an SSD, though while Linux has more software support now, it might not support everything OP wants to play, even in WINE.

Man that picture is super racist for a tech board. You know most of the people in the i.t industry won't get it but you post it anyway. Shame on you
>>
>>51297323
1. Say no to Seagate
2. Use a SSD as your boot drive and pick up an incredibly reliable and speedy Webster Digital Black 1 TB HDD for media storage and things.
3.Bought this keyboard/mouse combo for my girlfriend's first build. It's nice for what you pay. The keyboard almost feels mechanical. Scroll wheel turned to shit after about a year. Feels mushy and skips around frequently. Would buy again.

can this handle fallout 4 on high graphics at 40fps?
