Who here not upgrading their PC until 2020?
Phenom II X2 and Radeon HD 5770
I laugh at faggots "upgrading" every year
Then I laugh at turbo faggots for buying Jewtel and Jewidia. Literally hardware illiterates
>>54014668
Why do you hate Intel and Nvidia so much?
Not even a super powerful pc, but no reason to upgrade any time soon
>>54014668
X5450+hd5770 here.
Does everything I need, might upgrade to zen though if they give me 3 cores with hyperthreading close to i3 pricing.
Just bought a skylake i5-6600k, stay mad poorfags
>>54014682
Read a little what the companies do, just to achieve monopoly. Nvidia is worse, but Intel doesn't fall too far behind. AMD is the only one actually playing nice.
R9 290x, got it in 2013 for 250 dollars new. Still an awsome card.

I'll probably get like 6 more years out of it, tops.

>>54014708
>not having a top line xeon
don't even reply to me you disgusting poor
I just order some stuff for build a completly new PC so yeah maybe I'll not upgrade until 2020 it really depends if there's something really worth to upgrade in the future
Built this one for rendering, it has appreciated over the 5 months I've owned it, should run until 2021 until I've saved 6k for my next system
I'll probably need a new vidcard when VR gets cheap enough to pull the trigger on, but other than that I see my rig lasting a decent while.
>>54014191
Na I definitely want to upgrade soon for VT-d support so I can passthrough and ditch my dual boot.
>>54014818
>implying you'll resist that long and not impulsively buy something before
there are top line xeons with IRIS pro igpu's, check em out

I'll upgrade when I finish my handheld backlog ie never.
i7-930 @ 3.6 (Nehalem Stronk)
24GB DDR3
2xGTX 680
I want to upgrade but I still don't really need to. Except hard drives, I do need hard drives, I'm low on space.
>>54014930
I wish I could afford to be impulsive, I would start with a pcie ssd...
>>54014930
Why would I downgrade to integrated graphics?
Or a quad core xeon//?

3960x master race here, going to pick up a 5960x and 2 air cooled furies next week.
>>54014991
Enjoy the 5960 that's what I would have went for if I could afford it///, 8 cores, jeez all those threads...
what are you using them for?
>>54015014
Video games and shitposting.
Also going to pick up a 1TB SSD.
fx-8350
16gb ddr3
295x2
I'm pretty happy, plays all the games I want. Probably going to upgrade my display to either a 1440p 144hz or 4k, and then add some more storage, but other than that I'm pretty damn happy
>mfw I got my 295 for 550 used
came with all the shit, original bag, original box, had only been used in a show build, why buy shit new?
>>54014780
DDR4 didn't even exist in 2008 faggot
>>54015031
Why not go for a skylake processor?
Better performance per core, stays cooler, more effecient, costs 2/5ths of the octacore...
Probably going to upgrade when Zen comes out.
Probably not going to actually be upgrading to Zen though, knowing AMD.
>>54015044
Kek, ssd's are cheap though, why not run your os and apps on a 128gb ssd for like $70
Your capability to transfer data is definately limited by your hard drives, why brag about your 2400mhz ddr4 yo?
>>54015070
>better performance per core
Doesn't really matter, I'm going to overclock, even if true.
>stays cooler
Are you implying I'll be using the stock cooler?
>more efficient
Lol
>costs 2/5ths
Yeah but it's shit.
>>54014682
I have severe down syndrome.
>>54015107
Implying the i7 comes with a fucking stock cooler
Having it just for the sake is the only thing i can't argue against lol, that's why I have a 144hz g sync ips panel and an adobe srgb display
>>54014991
>>54015014
5960X is probably one of the most futureproof purchases you can make, and that's amazing considering it's already 1.5 years old. Broadwell-E octacore will be just as expensive and probably not any faster, and mainstream CPUs will stay at 4 cores for many years. Maybe in 2018-2019 there will be octacores at the same price as hexacores now, but they still won't be any better than the 5960X.
I haven't upgraded since 2006 so I'll actually be upgrading this year by necessity
Phenom X6 1100t and 6870 2GB
still going strong after nearly 6 years.
>>54015070
>Better performance per core
Not really, and almost all software is now multithreaded, even vidya gayms because consoles have 8 core AMD CPUs with pathetic single thread performance.
>>54015143
I had a similar line of thinking, but saved $600 by buying an i7-5820k >>54014818
The overclock potential doesn't quite match the x but for any actual application (heavy 3d rendering and processing financial data) is not going to be bottlenecked by the processor until NVIDIA drops it's new architecture in like 3-4 years, once it cools down I'm upgrading.
>>54015122
If the cooler isn't an issue why even bring it up?
Are you retarded?
>>54015182
Most games utilize the processing power of 2 cores over 8 threads from a 4 core processor, unless you need 8 cores (16 hypothetical threads) the x is a big waste, better to put some of that money into memory options and a gpu
>>54015225
going X99 and then getting the model with gimped PCI-E lanes just seems like a waste though
>>54015228
I implied that the skylake will be more efficient, and therefore cooler, you took a dig at that statement.
>>54015107
>stays cooler
>Are you implying I'll be using the stock cooler?
I pointed out it doesn't come with a fucking stock cooler.
For a wallet warrior you've held off on screen capping your stats... hmm
>>54015294
The 5820k only operates with 28 lanes, still enough to sli two gtx 980 ti's and have a pcie ssd running.
It's not the best money can buy, but it's an extremely fucntional professional grade workstation, and one I could afford.
>>54015306
I'm not home you dip.
Stop being such a poorfag, skylake isn't better than a 5960x with ddr4 in any way at all.
Broadwell-E when?
>>54015412
Kek, ok your claimed system is way faster than the plebian system I posted and use for work, and your mom should totally buy you a 5960X for no actual application other than making you feel gud kek
>>54015462

i5 2500K and a GTX 560Ti here. I'm fine for now.

Wow you're an insensitive fuck.
I bet your parents wish that condom never broke.
>>54014191
I thought I wouldn't have to, but apparently computer hardware degrades over time.
Like fucking fruit it just rots away.
My machine is still very competitive in specs, but it's starting to crap out, giving me BSODs and such simply while browsing.

Nah, i have an i7 4770k which i can still overclock and i have a gtx 980 on a 1366x768 screen. Yes i'm fine.
> 2020 is only 7 months away
I might add an mSATA drive some day to my X220. Maybe a new battery in 2019.
>TFW no other laptop is yet a suitable replacement for this old thing after all these years.
All I want is for it to be able to run Linux and Mac well, be sturdy and have enough performance for MS office and Firefox.
The struggle.
>i5 3570k at 4.5
>r9 390
well i'm pretty fucked if my mobo dies because they stopped production of the 1155 socket MB.
i'll prolly buy a new videocard when the r9 590x is released
>>54015703
make a bootable usb to run it. you can google directions if you need them.
I'm gonna downgrade instead of upgrade.
Switch the 2500K for a cheap passively cooled ARM soc when they're viable.
Odroid xu-4 for example is powerful enough but full of bugs and still needs a fan.
Was a time when I cared about having great hardware.
Nowadays I couldn't give less fucks as long as it works, I guess that is an age thing (25 now).

I'm not a poorfag but I'm also not that much of a richfag.
Was actually considering dropping down to 500GB ssd to get the raid array up to 3x1tb drives, or 2x 2tb.

Cheaper than 980 ti, close performance, better crossfire scaling, better low level API performance(dx12/vulkan/mantle)
>i5 3570k @ stock
>Fury
I'm trying to find a cheap 3770k on ebay to OC rather than jumping to a 1151 or 2011 system.
Why upgrade when my gtx 670 achieves maximum utilization without flexing a muscle
>>54016288
Why not an i7 2600k or 2700k?
It'll be a pretty decent upgrade, just not as much as a 3770k.
>>54016299
I've actually got a spare 2700k that I could use. But I've heard that an OC'd 3770k gives only 10% less performance than a 6700k at the same OC. Aside from that though I'm trying to decide on a decent 1440p freesync monitor. Thinking of the ASUS MG279Q.
To be honest I don't need to upgrade at all but I just feel like it.
>>54016287
>Cheaper than 980 ti, close performance, better crossfire scaling, better low level API performance(dx12/vulkan/mantle)
Same reasons I got mine. Although only one for now since I'm only using one 1440p 16:9 screen. They're great cards. What monitor are you using semi-richfag?
>>54016361
I'm using a crt.
This thing does 2048x1536@65hz, or 1600x1200 at 80hz.
I am considering 3 1440p screens though, since the furies will be great for driving higher resolutions.
Most monitors I've seen look too bright or washed out compared to my crt but new ips displays look alright
>>54014191
Maybe, but I'll be getting a new gpu somewhere along the line in any case.
>>54016471
That's a slightly higher pixel count than a 4k screen and I don't know if freesync works across multiple monitor setups. But it should look great anyway. If I do eventually go cf fury's I'd probably get a 21:9 QHD freesync monitor. Like the freesync version of the ASUS PG348Q if it ever comes out.
>>54016570
In your case, one should last a while until they start dropping in price. In a couple of years you could pick them up for under a hundred dollars, like the 7950 is now. I was amazed when helping my poorfag friend build his pc.
Got him an i5 2400 + 7950 for under 300 dollars.
>>54016658
I should add, that's 300 aud.
>>54014191
Gtx780 and I7 3770k here. Both overclocked to the limit.
Fuck 2020. I plan on keeping this for another 10 years or so. Might buy another 780 if I can find a good deal though. (talking 150€ max)

People who upgrade every 2 years are fucking morons who don't know the power of their old hardware.
im upgrading end of this year, because of new rajesh and njewdia gpus
>>54014799
What the fuck I have the same thing
>>54014191
Upgrading mine now (original built in 2011)
Going from i5-2500k P67 to i7 5820k X99
12GB RAM to 32GB RAM
Will upgrade GPU from 760 to probably 1070 or so once Pascal drops, and then I'll sit on that until at least 2020 if not later (barring some likely GPU/storage upgrades)
I want to upgrade so bad but my shit is still good. Might at the end of the year
Radeon HD 7970 3GB
8GB DDR3
i5 3570k (oc'd)
I could probably get by with just getting a new gpu. Maybe I'll get a 970 or 980 to last me until the end of the year and then resell it. I can probably ebay my 7970 for 200 bucks or so...
>>54014191
I think i will at least that much out of my PC.

>>54017215
I should note that the only reason I'm upgrading is that my workload went from playing vidya to making vidya, and Unreal 4 really loves RAM. Fellow Sandy Bros keep rocking your shit until 2025, best tech purchase ever. (Though I feel sad if you missed Z68 by about a month like I did)
I5 2500k overclocked to 4.6Ghz,
16gb 2133mhz,

I don't exactly feel the need to update yet. Maybe in 2 more generations, if vr actually picks off.
No, I will need a better GPU for VR

>>54017369
I only wish that Sandy Bridge had integrated Iris graphics like the new processors do. My GTX 460 is showing its age that my laptop with Iris is performing better.
Currently have a 4790k and a 390x, doubt I'll upgrade until after 2020. That's only 4 years after all.

I literally only have to replace fans to my pc - My pc case has room for 4 fans, any suggestions what should I use? I don't care about noise.
Also is it wise to use fans at max speed at all times if I'm going to replace them often?
Maybe except processor heat sink which I would leave at normal or even better low since I rarely go into full usage and temps are very stable.
Oh and I also have to re-aply thermal paste,
>>54014191
Odds are pretty good I'll be able to make my current hardware last another 4 years.
I certainly hope not. But I probably will.
>>54018340
Well they do have integrated graphics, but yeah it's definitely not Iris level.
Probably because the integrated graphics are practically the only area Intel CPUs are really improving.
