>have i5 2500K / 8GB RAM / 128GB SSD / HD7850
Another 8GB RAM and a 500GB SSD (together about €180) would be a nice upgrade, right? Or would that be throwing away money?
Going to get the 850 Pro 1TB when the new models arrive and the prices finally take a dip.
Shouldn't take too long for the new stuff to come to the market.
Also going to get the Mushkin 4TB SSD when it comes out.
500$ for 4TB is a pretty decent price compared to anything else out there.
A forced upgrade for me. PSU died and fried my whole system. I got:
i5 6600k running at 4.5ghz
Asus maximus viii hero
Gskill ripaws v 3200 16gb
Corsair H110i gtx
Asus strix r9 390 8gb
Corsair hx750i
Im happy with it

Same, been looking for a 1tb m.2 for awhile now.
Just did a new build
> 2x 850 Evo 250GB
> i5 6500
> Titan X
> Z170 ITX motherboard
Looking to do a custom water cool loop this month on it.
>>53379269
You should be. Very nice.

This has to be bait.

I upgraded my Dell 2005FPW to a ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q.
Sidegrade my motherboard from a Gigabyte GA-Z87ZX-UD4H to an MSi Z97S. Swapped my case from an 800D to a 750D for better aircooling and dust filtering.
Next up is GTX 780 to a x80 Pascal.
So,I bought a GTX 750ti (I'm a poorfag),but I've heard Nvidia's new drivers are gimping their old cards,so I'm not sure if I should update the drivers or just leave it as it is,what do you guys think?
>>53378752
Got a new R9 290 6 months ago for dirt cheap ($220) with a free copy of DiRT Rally from Newegg. Was pretty happy about it. The card has pretty much exceeded my expectations, being able to render games at 2560x1600 with only a slight difference in performance.
VSR (DSR being nVidia's counterpart) is mega useful for games where you need to be able to see stuff in the distance without zooming in. Helps a lot with depth perception in games in my opinion.
I need to upgrade my mobo to a LGA 1151 and my CPU to an i5-6500.
I fell for the AMD CPU meme three years ago because I wanted to save money, and didn't know that single-threaded CPU performance was more important for playing the original Dark Souls on the PC (because the game uses the CPU to render everything... x.x).
>>53379815
The X gets hot. and the i5 will be one of the cheaper things to upgrade. Which I am thinking of doing if the new skylake refreshes will work in the 1151 socket on the Z170 chipset.
Just spent 1000€ for an upgrade
> 6700K
> GA-Z170X G5
> 950 Pro M.2 256GB
> Dominator DDR4 16GB
> Fractal Design R5
This is part of the $1000 I put into my new computer.
I was looking around for improving performance and heard about "razer game booster". Is that something worth using?
8320e and a H100i-gtx. All in all my temps are stone cold at 4GHz. Motherboard restrictions don't allow for going any higher even though the CPU can. Next upgrade will be motherboard.
>>53379291
What do you propose we talk about, then?
>mfw can't justify expanding my DDR3 RAM now when I'll probably get a new CPU and motherboard with DDR4 in a year or so.
8GB really is getting a bit insufficient
>>53379815
>implying locked means not being able to overclock
>>53378752
Exactly what you posted. Pic related.
>>53380561
I was looking for 2 minutes before I actually found it in your pic. Goddamn I'm still amazed at how much smaller these things keep getting.
I built this a few months ago and I want to eventually get a EVGA 980Ti Hybrid for the Oculus Rift.
>>53378918
Holy fuck are you me? That is exactly what I have.
I'm pretty satisfied for right now, I'd say hold on to your $$$ and wait for better upgrades.
>>53379269
Serious question, how do you prevent this from happening? This is my worst nightmare
>>53382904
By not cheaping out on the PSU, obviously.
Get something decent like a seasonic or something
>>53378770
9.5/10
Side were lost but they retured shortly after
>>53378752
Upgraded the cooling in my PC
>1 Cryorig 120mm Fan
>Cryorig C7 for da CPU
>Fan Splitters
Might be looking to get a new mobo come payday so I can overclock this i5-6400
I am looking to get a new case and some faster RAM along with another hard drive.
looking to upgrade my hd4850 to something like a 380 and maybe a 4TB hdd until i save up enough to justify spending enough to do a completely new system
>>53380514
>microcode updates
>>53378752
Just started ordering parts for a custom loop. First radiator will be here in about a week or so.
>tfw watercooled G3258 and R9 270X on one 240mm radiator
Where did I go so horribly wrong?
>>53382999
Plus a UPS to ensure clean power so the psu lasts longer. Still you should replace a psu after 5 years. I had a good one that lasted 7 before I noticed lower voltages.
got a 1440p monitor. want polaris
