Christmas gaming rig for lil bro. Should I pull the trigger?

may I suck on your toe instead?

How's the warranty without that plan?

$10 isn't that bad for basically covering the timespan in which bad parts fail prematurely desu.
>>
>>51771768
What the fuck did you do to those screenshots?


Anyway, I like to use this one: http://derpy.me/K8wTC
Their builds are normally pretty close to optimal, with maybe one part that could be slightly better. It's in German but it's not like you need to understand the language to read a shopping list anyway.

Since when?

>>51771870
Sure, go ahead. But be warned, I'm a bit gassy today, so bare with me while I release some foul gases.
>>
>>51771768
If you are gonna go amd at least get the kid a 390 any other amd is shit.
>>
Drop the RAM to 8GB and get an aftermarket cooler. Most all games are still 32bit and that isn't changing any time soon but noise is always noise.
>>
>>51771768
DONT buy that case. its fucking shit, cable management is pathetic and its just shit. please dont buy it i returned it

I assume he already has a HDD and peripherals?
>>
>>51772177

IM still rocking 280x crossfire.

Shit is still cash
>>
>>51771954
2 years on both. I didn't think it was bad myself.
>>
>>51772199
Already have a Hyper 212 Evo and he plans on Twitch atreaming, so I felt the RAM was justified for the price.
>>
>>51771768
Hey, OP. PC peripherals are not components. Why are you paying for keyboard replacement instead of gpu and cpu replacement protections.
>>
>>51771857
>not realizing that warranty plans are there to make the company money
>>
>>51772372
Does he have a HDD?

Fair enough on the RAM.
>>
May aswell ask here.
I am building a rig and already bought r9 390x but idk what processor I should buy.
Is there any substantional difference between i54690 and i54690k versions?
>>
>>51772303
Trying to stay with Newegg and Amazon for the consistent shipment times/warranties.
>>
>>51772374
I've researched into that, it's simply a labeling error. Both will cover the intended GPU/CPU
>>
>>51771768
lol dvd drive. may as well get a floppy as well?
>>
>>51772177
Not sure if troll or uninformed
>>
>>51772396
Good luck. I dunno about Newegg (Britbong) but Amazon can be pretty unreliable with shipping.

I waited a full two weeks for my RAM because it was sent through some other shipping company to the rest of it.

This was back in October 2013 though things might have changed.
>>
>>51772376
I don't really care. If 20 bucks will save me $200 when a CPU or GPU dies a year in, it's well worth it imo
>>
>>51772387
Yeah, a 500gb Caviar Blue.
>>
>>51772388
4690k is the "unlocked" version which means that you have the possibility to overclock it if you want. You can't overclock the regular 4690.
>>
>>51772441
In the US if you've got Amazon prime and make sure you buy it from Amazon itself and not some 3rd party seller then you get free 2-day shipping on everything.
>>
>>51772427
Grandparents have tons of CDs and I'm honestly to lazy/busy to take the time and convert all of them.
>>
>>51772461
>500GB
He'll drive through that in months. Especially if he's a fucking faggot obsessed with shit like Minecraft, Rust, all those shitty online games.
>>
>>51771768

If you really loved him you'd wait for Zen

Not with our 300gb data cap from Comcast. The FCC is fucking useless. We need Stalmin and communism to rectify this

Unless you're a retard sure but for now you're just a good goy
