Am I going to regret this? Should I even continue...the total is already over $1400 and I haven't started into monitors yet
I wanted to upgrade for the new virtual reality age but I don't think I'm rich enough to join
pls help
>>332458678
It's not usually a good idea to be an early adopter. If you have never used VR before, try to demo it beforehand.
By the time more refined headsets come out, and more games for them, there will be better graphics cards. Why do you need VR now?
If you're doing gaming, you can downgrade your gpu and cpu. An i5 is fine and a 970 or 980 is good for nvidia, or a 290x/390x if you're into amd gpu. Stay far away from amd cpus though
>>332458864
if you're going to be spending big monies wait for the next gen of graphics cards. They will be more future proof because of massive shift of technology currently happening.
>>332458678
Why would you worry about the monitor if you want to get into VR? Just get an average one.
>>332458678
If you wanna do VR then go for an i5 and either Nvidia 970 or AMD R9 390. Will save you some money and still give you really good performance for gaming.
dont go for virtual reality, go for the actual pc mustard race
but yeah the deal is pretty good with that motherboard+cpu+8 gb ram combo
go ahead dude make the dream come true
and remember
PIRACY is your best friend
Lose the liquid cooling, fans are more than fine.
>>332459586
>next gen of graphics card
And when will they come?
>>332458678
I have this exact same motherboard and ram combo except I got the i5 devil's canyon instead and got an extra set of 8gig ram in white to go with the black ones
>4790k
>Priced at $544.99
>>332458678
you got trolled hard son.
you dont need a fucking one hundred and forty dollar ghetto loop or an i7 for video games.
1. Wait for the dx12 video cards in 2 months
2. Wait for second gen vr it's literally a meme right now
>>332460236
$544 is for the cpu, board, and memory you dingus
>>332458678
>virtual reality age
early adopters always regret fampai
>>332458678
this build must be bait
>>332460795
what makes you say that?
>>332458678
>"Gaming" mouse pad would have cost $35 originally.
Excuse me?
>no power supply

Stay shit, /v/.
Damn what I couldve sworn 4790Ks were way cheaper than that
>>332461102
i get a free copy of division too a $50 value
>>332458678
It's the same PC as I have but I have everything water cooled and an older CPU
>>332458678
>liquid cooling
Don't bother.
>>332461212
The build isn't done, retard.
Why don't you first see if you need an entire new PC yet? When I started PC gaming in 2011 I just bought a graphics card for the prebuilt I had and it's done me good; I've upgraded it other times but the total amount I spent on it is less than I would have spent building a PC.
>>332458678
thats a really stupid case anyway. buy a cheaper nvidia and get a faster processor , dont build backwards you piece o sheet
>>332460909
The parts are so unnecessarily expensive it feels like this image was made just to start a "lel PC costs $100000000" meme.
>>332460071
June, I think.
>>332461878
Yeah what am I thinking. Everyone starts considering monitors and fucking mousepads before the PSU. What a retard I must be.
Support the master race and buy AMD.
if you're going for VR i highly recommend you wait for the new GPUs to drop in a few months, your 980ti might be worth half the price right after you buy it
>>332462273
You should figure out everything before you pick your PSU though, otherwise how do you calculate how much wattage you're going to need?
Why would picking out a mouse and keyboard before a PSU even matter at all? Are you literally autistic.
>>332462117
His shit isn't unnecessarily expensive. They're all pretty high end. If he threw two titans in there and a 10,000 $ monitor then you can bitch.
>>332462410
How much wattage you need? He already has all the parts to determine that. Are you under the impression the monitor gets power from the PSU?
>Why would picking out a mouse and keyboard before a PSU even matter at all?
It wouldn't it's something that would come after your build; which is why it's obvious the PSU is something he forgot.
>people think it's smart to wait for PC hardware still
>intel no longer doing tick tock
>no longer considering desktops as one of their main pillars
>AMD losing millions on billion dollar investments
Sorry but PC hardware is slowing down, it won't be accelerating like it did in the past anymore. All new "upgrades" pretty much purely based on power efficiency.
>>332462117
he just said he's going VR, and anyone who isn't a retard knows it's going to need a really powerful PC
>>332458678
>i7
>watercooling
jesus christ anon. the 980 ti is goat but dont waste your money on stupid shit you wont notice. pic related is playing witcher 3 in 2k @ max settings including max hairworks never dipping below 60 fps even in cities. if it it did monitor´s gsync would make me not notice it
>>332459586
>j-just wait for the new gen
fucking retards like you are the worst. we dont even have an actual date yet. could be 2017 for all we know.
980 ti will max out all games in 2k for the next 2 years minimum and if it ever stops doing so get a second one,run them in sli and be good until 2022
>>332462704
>He already has all the parts to determine that
>based on a thread where he is asking people for advice
>using a picture showing he clearly hasn't bought any of it yet
Are you serious right now?
>>332462841
>fucking retards like you are the worst. we dont even have an actual date yet. could be 2017 for all we know
they're literally stated it's coming out around june you retard, and why get a 980ti for 600~ when the new GPUs will be better for the same price? for all we know a 980ti might be mid-tier for VR
>>332462868
>Don't even consider the cost or model or wattage of a PSU until all the other parts are physically in your possession. Fuck it; don't even ask for advice on one until then!
I seriously think you're being willfully ignorant just try and prove your already ignorant argument.
>>332463257
He is literally asking for help in the OP, meaning he isn't entirely sure if that's what he's going to buy or is open to changing components.
Why are you so afraid to admit your original post was a mistake? Is this your life or something?
>>332463656
>He is literally asking for help in the OP, meaning he isn't entirely sure if that's what he's going to buy or is open to changing components.
And it never occured to /v/ to recommend that literally any type of PSU or even acknowledge that he needs one. Just showing that this board is garbage and only useful for shitposting.
So, I guess thanks for shitposting even more and proving my point?
>>332464187
>>332463656
get a room you faggots
>>332464187
>I make sure I buy a PSU before I'm sure what components I want
This is 100% literally you right now.
>>332464325
When did I say he should buy one right now before everything else? I'm just saying since he's asking for advice on what components to buy, looking into a power supply might be a good idea.
How is this so hard to grasp? How is this offending you so much?
>>332464540
Yeah better look into what PSU you want to buy before you get suggestions on what other components you should buy.
Who cares if you're absolutely going to have to change it after you decide what other components you want to buy, you should still take the time to pick out your PSU you won't buy anyway.
Neck yourself
>>332462841
I'm calling bullshit on this I have the same exact build and Witcher 3 runs like absolute dogshit on max.
Stupid question but if I want a high end PC not for playing vidya but shitposting on 4chan, fapping, etc. Should build a gaming PC?
>>332464648
If one component changes and takes more power he's going to have to completely change the brand, the class, the efficiency rating, whether or not to get a modular one? Maybe since he's already getting bundles, he can roll the PSU into one with a different heatsink?
No, better not think about any of that. Acting like a jerkoff is clearly better.
>>332464673
just curious, what settings do you run? not the guy you quoted, but when i turn off hairworks i can max it out pretty safely, and i have a similar setup
please move this to /g/
>>332459539
If you're doing gaming get a lower end video card. you fucking wot m8.
>>332464925
He would have to change the wattage.
Which would mean a new PSU, considering (I don't know if you know this part) you can't change the wattage on a PSU you already own.
>>332461707
You got a 3570k with 8gb of ram? wat? Ram was fucking cheap as shit when the 3570k was out.
>>332461707
How are the Sandisk Ultra's, I wanna get a budget SSD before I invest in a full desktop, but I know the Samsung's are highest quality
>>332458678
8 gb of ram? Would get more than that if I were you...
>>332465035
Again, I feel like I have to go back saying I think you're being willfully ignorant.
>the brand, the class, the efficiency rating, whether or not to get a modular one
HO SHIT check your autism buddy. The mousepad is literally an item newegg tagged onto the GPU. I picked the GPU after many hours of comparing prices on 980
>>332465076
I'm not going to be storing shit in my RAM why would I ever need more than 8GB?
>>332465119
Works well, I use it specifically for movie, photo and music editing as well as putting certain games that benefit from it on it. I use my older SSD for my OS because write speeds aren't very important for a boot drive.
>>332465268
There's literally thousands that match those criteria, there is no reason to pick one out until you know the wattage you're going to need that way you can appropriately overshoot that number.
I build PC's for a living, Ask me anything.
>>332465376
>I'm not going to be storing shit in my RAM why would I ever need more than 8GB?
>I use it specifically for movie, photo and music editing
good lord man
>>332465376

If you have to ask I understand why you only got 8.
>>332465457
How is living in china? Or do you mean assemble?
>>332465457
am I overpaying for my mobo//cpu? is newegg still the best place to shop?
gpu prices are pretty much shit everywhere you look right?
is my mousepad big enough for you senpai?
>>332464673
then you have a faulty card/cpu
i use MINIMAL overclocking on intensive games and get 60 fps constant on max settings even in crowded novigrad like i said.
>>332464942
Oh I definitely could max it without hairworks but with hairworks on it dips to 50ish
>>332458678
Is this the YLYL thread?
>>332465556
>>332465560
I'm not doing professional editing I'm doing it as a hobby, I never have any use to store it on my RAM, literally none at all it would not benefit me to have 1gb more of RAM as my bottleneck is in my cache at this point.
>>332465707
yes get out
>>332465604
Assuming you're OP and a burger that CPU price does look a bit steep. The general consensus is to pick up your CPU from Microcenter assuming there's one near you.
>>332458678
>CPU cooling
don't bother
>>332464673
did you upgrade to win 10?
not even kidding newer games run better on windows 10 if you have the hardware to back it up. i went from high 40´s to almost constant 60 in wild hunt and rise of the womb raider11
>>332465929
His cpu cooling option is retardedly expensive but stock cooling is even worse and I would recommend a cryorig h5
Just starting making plans today.
Will this stomp modern games for a while?
>>332466086
I'm on windows 10 the only difference is I have is 8gb ram.
>>332458678
over-kill gpu (the majority of games still don't support 4k, even then, barely)
over-kill cpu
get a better mobo
>>332466192
It's impossible to overheat your CPU if you're not making it compute the digits of pi with all threads for several weeks in a row in a mini-itx case without fans.
>>332465376
That match what criteria? No one's recommended any criteria. You can get an overly expensive 400w PSU that costs more than a cheap Chinese 1200w one. You'd rather argue over arbitrary shit when there's more to consider.
Fuck's sake it feels like I'm taking crazy pills
Here, OP. This is a good brand and they're very reliable. I recommend the modular one because they're more convenient than you'd think at first. Gold certified is all you really need, anything above isn't worth the money at all. CX is a good class even if it is one of their cheapest. If you feel like buying a better one stick with AX, RM is just a complete ripoff.
Once you decide the wattage you need, press the button accordingly; but don't tell anyone else of /v/ it's that simply to change wattage and that infact: wattage is the last thing you need to decide when you get a PSU. Something tells me they can't quite grasp that idea.
>>332466274
Don't buy an ASRock motherboard.
ASRock is a budget motherboard manufacturer and one rule to live by when building PCs is to never cut corners on things that are connected to everything else.

As somebody who basically has OP's computer I agree, if you aren't 100% sure you are a mainly PC gamer, buying a high end PC like this is just stupid.
Even as somebody who knows they like almost exclusively PC games, I built this computer over years, looking at sales and upgrading when I found good deals.

Ask people that already bought it I guess. The problem with HP/Dell is that they both have a shitload of tier 1 vendors so two "same model" PCs can have vastly different parts.
But still, can't build it yourself for less than that.

Yes you can.

Nope. Already tried, even without buying Windows it's still around $100 more.

CX is p. bad. Pay a little bit more and get a better fan that won't crap out or start making noise, better capacitors, and stuff like turning off the fan at idle. There's a reason why they only have 3 year warranties and all of the better models are 7 year.
