Why.

What the hell is wrong with you.

Get rid of that expensive motherboard if it's features serve no purpose to you.

Not really, but each motherboard and chipset have their own features which you'd have to check up on yourself to decide if they're worth it.

Is this GPU any good?
ASUS STRIX R9 380 DC2OC 4GB DDR5 STRIX
>>51775560
Nope, MSI 380 Gaming 4G or Sapphire 380 Nitro 4G is what you want.
>>51775575
ive never seen any of thes gfx cards like ever.
>>51775575
If you don't mind me asking - why?
>>51775545
>that ugly ass case
jej
>>51775601
Better coolers. The Sapphire card in particular cools VRMs so it'll have much better longevity.
>>51775620
>jej
gtx 980 vs them both, if i was to switch it to a 980
>>51775620
>Sapphire 380 Nitro 4G
Thanks. Since you are being so helpful, any chance you could explain what is the difference between OC version and regular one? As if, you are talking to an indie developer.
>>51775660
The 980 and 970 destroys them both, but they're not even in the same price tier.
A 390 will match a 970.
A 390X will match a 980.
The 390 gives the best price to performance ratio of any GPU on the market.
What case is quiet and good with temperatures?
Was looking at R5 Define. Am I making a mistake?
>>51775699
Huh? There's no OC version I know of.
Only difference between 4G cards is Backplate or no Backplate.
>>51775136
a good tip for organisation is just make the list on pc part picker. You'll get warnings if the parts arn't compatible.
Lots of links to store pages is tedious to go through most of the time
>>51775829
PC par picker is a fantastic resource but their compatibility feature is definitely not 100% accurate.
I put a build together there recently and my 212 evo doesn't fit in the case I bought.
>>51775781
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202149
Unless I am indie developer, it says OC in the name.
>>51775846
most cases should be wide enough for a fan cooler
>>51775781
One is 1010 GHz, the OC is 1040 GHz. Is that all? I don't see anything else.
>>51775545
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/TRnL8d
>>51775858
Nope, this was misnamed, it's just called the Nitro. Beware that this is the version with no Backplate however.
>>51775887
Strange. If you go on Sapphire's website you'll see no Nitros that are clocked at 1040 MHz.
Some Nitros have Backplates and some don't, that's really the only difference between models aside from clock speed.
>>51775913
Well, they sell them as OC where I get my pc parts from.
http://www.skytech.lt/search.php?keywords=Sapphire+380+Nitro+4G&x=15&y=18&search_in_description=0
You can see yourself.
How do you know if it has a backplate or not? And while we are being honest, what backplate means?
>>51775950
I know this version has a backplate because it's clocked at 1010 MHz. The version with no backplate is clocked at 985 MHz.
A Backplate is basically a material plate on the back of a graphics card that both protects the PCB and helps with cooling components on the Board somewhat.
>>51776030
Oh okay. Thank you, you are being very helpful.
Mr. Helpful Anon,
If I could bother you a little bit more.
My rig died some time ago and I want to salvage some parts from it and put them in another rig.
Things I have:
PSU
HDD
SSD
RAM
Things I need:
CPU
GPU
Mobo
Case
Optional - some cooling.
The budget is 1000Euro, but I would like to go as low as possible.
Here is what I've looked at so far:
CPU - Intel Core i5-4460
GPU - Sapphire Radeon R9 380X NITRO
CASE - FRACTAL DESIGN Define R5 Black
MOBO - MSI B85-G41 PC MATE
Cooling - Corsair Fan Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition 120mm 23dBA Twin pack
Any advice on what to change?

>>51776158
Get a Mobo that supports Haswell refresh natively so you don't have to jump through hoops to get your CPU working.
>>51776238
No motherboard? Or I am blind?
>>51776262
Could you please elaborate on this? I am afraid I don't really understand much of this.
>>51776277
>>51776277
sorry the MOBO im getting from a friend Brand new for like half the price
MSI Z97 XPOWER AC LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
>>51776287
The motherboard you chose only supports original Haswell in it's stock form, not the refreshed products. In order to get that board working with a Haswell Refresh CPU you would have to either use some Haswell CPU you can find lying around to update BIOS (Not likely), or you would have to flash the BIOS onto the board, which can be a pain sometimes.
So look around for any other cheap board that supports Haswell Refresh without any BIOS updates.
>>51776304
Go with the Gyazo build I say.
>>51776262
I've googled and I think this
MSI Z97 GAMING 3, Z97, DualDDR3-1600, SATA3, RAID, HDMI, DVI, VGA, DP, ATX
Should work. I just don't know if it is good or bad or what.
>>51776386
Don't bother with a Z97 if you can't overclock (4460 can't), way too expensive.
>>51775416
Why isn't there just a computer build general? There's a never-ending general for fucking headphones, why not something like that? People never stop asking even when sites like Logical Increments exist.
I think people either have no fucking clue what they're doing or they know exactly what they want and they're looking for someone to validate their opinions OR give them a better option they never considered....but these kinds of threads usually just end up making indecisive people feel worse
>"that part is shit because I said so, don't ever buy it"
>"your build is shitty because mine is better"
>"Don't buy anything right now, it's a terrible time you need to wait for some ambiguous time in the future so that someone can say the same thing to you then"
>"where's the pop-tarts?"
And so on.
>>51776429
getting it for £100
>>51776429
Well shit. What is there left?
ASRock Z87 PRO4, Z87? I try googling and shit, but I don't know what I am looking for.
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-1824740/ivy-bridge-haswell-motherboard-models-comparison-chipsets.html
Is this true?
>>51776530
Z87 is even worse, none of them support Haswell Refresh natively.
Only Z97 and H97 are guaranteed to work with Haswell Refresh out of the box. Some Vendors released a second version of their H81 and B85 boards to be compatible out of the box though. Look for any H81 or B85 boards named 2.0 or version 2. Or just settle with a H97 instead.
A lot of the Sapphire 4gb 380's are sold out. How often do cards usually come back in stock?
>>51776589
Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H?
Cheaper than Z alright. But it is MATX, do I want that?
>>51775586
Do your fucking research before making a build then genius.
>>51776683
Apart from more PCIe slots on full ATX, it doesn't really matter.
Although if you are gonna go ahead and get a H97 I suggest you look for something that has at least one M.2 SSD slot.
>>51776743

Nigga, you make my life hard. Let me see what I can find on the World Wide Web.
And thank you.

This has M.2. Right?
>>51776834
Yup, looks good.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JsBc99
What can I do to imrpove this I made it with little to no knowledge of parts.
[spoiler]Did I go full retard?[spoiler]
Also if there are any guides to understanding what to look for that would be great.
>>51776873
Thanks again. I think I am good with everything else.
I got dat one
>>51776912
Seems pretty good, I think you could go with a motherboard more in the 100$ range though if you don't plan to do sli, go for a Dell ips monitor, don't buy windows. Maybe get a 970 > 980 and go ddr4/6600k, but it's not necessary.
Any recommendations on a decent monitor /g/? not trying to do 4k if that helps
>>51777130
I already have have all the parts except the windows 7.
>sli
>ips monitor
I know jack shit m8, please explain or point me towards a guide.
>>51776912
>http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JsBc99
either get the cheapest $450 980 or a get an r9 fury. It isn't justifiable at $510.
>>51777424
Cheap z97 motherboards only have a 16x and 4x pci slot. Nvidia's antiquated dual graphics tech is called sli and requires at least two 8x slots so every board isn't sli capable.
Ips is a type of monitor panel with better color and deeper blacks than tn panels.
