Anyone here use a PC for gaming?
I have a little money to spare so I'm thinking of picking up one of those new pascal cards when they come out
Is this build good enough?
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/B7dKP6
It's my first PC build and i'm coming from Xbone
I was thinking of this case
>>336364974
>a little money to spare
>$4000 build
>>336364974
ram's so cheap nowadays might aswell double to 32 gb anon.
I'd consider that build overkill if you just want to play games, but fuck my opinion to be honest.
If you want to do some intensive work with you pc look at the E5-2670 on ebay. It's a dirt cheap 8 core with 16 threads for socket 2011-v2.
>>336365616
It's pretty must just an internet and games machine Tbh
I went for the 5820k and special x99 because I read they wouldn't go obsolete anytime soon
>>336364974
>http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/B7dKP6
What kind of games are you going to play??????
>>336365904
I've always wanted to play Oblivion on high settings
>>336364974
And my IBP Gaming pc was 850 i believe and I run csgo and lol with out a problem.
Blues aren't gaming storage.
Where's ur GPU? Get a Gtx 980
>>336364974
Honestly m8
Save your money, PC gaming is dead and buried
Buy a ps4
>>336366156
I was going to pick up a pascal card when they release (presumably next month)
Seems overkill and needs a gpu.
> I'm thinking of picking up one of those new pascal cards
No. You'll be wasting money on an experimental product. Let others do the product testing.

>>336367294
OP you'll need about 64gb of ram if you want to have an optimal experience.
>>336364974
>>336365734
>>336366156
>doesn't come with a GPU
Way overpriced. Here's a Newegg combo deal with a 980 for less than what that is.
Inb4 criticisms about anything because fuck overpaying. If anything would end up unsatisfactory, it would be fine on ebay.
>>336364974
pretty good although you might want to wait until polaris comes out before picking a new gpu

>>336368238
running a system like that on a cheap psu is not a good idea.
if your lucky it will shit itself and not take everything else with it.
TRUST me i have been building gaming pc's since i was a single digit this config will give op trouble.
ive even had my little i5 and 770 blow up a 1000w silverstone
>>336368364
Thats nothing fucking poorfag.
>>336368416
OP here, Is the one I put down already good?
>>336368364
I know literal niggers who had 80 grand and blew it on a nice car. They live in section 8 housing and sure as shit aren't rich.
>>336368495
yep if i had 2k to blow on a new build i totally would buy that.
gonna wait till next year and get a cheap 8 coreamd
hoping polaris comes out asap so i can upgrade my current rig.
>>336367918
mid-tier at best
evos are top of the line. the evo pro is literally the best SSD money can buy in terms of performance and reliability
I'm also looking to build a PC. I am going to wait for Polaris to hit the market, and I'll probably go with a 480x.
Should I just order everything else right now and get set up while I wait for Polaris to come out?
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/gp8bnQ
>>336368364
Is that supossed to be impressive? You coukd buy the consoles with full worthwhile library for like 1,300 or less
>>336368724
Anything there you would amend?
>>336368759
That CPU will surely wind up being a bottleneck with a 480x
>>336369159
Any suggestions? I do not know shit about this. I have never built a gaming PC before.
>>336368759
that cpu is crap
my i5 4690 struggles in some games
get the i7 4690k or the newer i7
build is crap
>>336369289
look at ops build and cry then save up like everyone else
>>336369056
nothing.
use your old gpu until polaris or intergrated until pascal but nvidia runs dx12 like shit and downgrades their cards and has shit drivers.
>>336368489
>>336368514
>>336368889
Yet here I am with over 1,000 games on my backlog, more than any PCfat could ever afford.
>>336369289
At the bare minimum, grab a i5-4690K. If you're willing to spend more, pick up the 6600k or whatever the new gen i5 is called. You'll also want a third party CPU cooler since you'll be overclocking with the K processors. Watercooling is a pain in the ass, especially for your first build. Grab a fan-based cooler for $50 or less like the Hyper 212. Consider getting 16 gigs of ram as it's becoming more necessary moving into 2017 and it's already cheap as fuck. That MOBO is hella cheap; make sure it has all the ports you'll be needing.
>>336369529
This is my first PC build so I don't have any GPU's and X99 doesn't have integrated
>>336369716
Alright. I don't plan on getting one of the next gen processors. They're going to be Win 10 only and I am not going to change my OS.
I'll look into getting a 4690.
>>336368759
Switch the cpu for something in the range of an i56600k or i7 6700k. Throw in a custom cooler, throw in a SSD.
>>336369917
>Alright. I don't plan on getting one of the next gen processors. They're going to be Win 10 only
Skylake (the latest i5) are Win7 compatible.
Source: Using one with win7 right now.
>>336369917
Remember to grab the "K" version for overclocking. The 6600k can be used with Win7 by the way.
>>336369664
Careful not to get shot tonight, Tyrone.
>>336368724
>if I had 2k to blow on a PC without a GPU, sure
How professional..
>>336368495
>not checking out the newegg combo and another PSU, which would still be cheaper than the OP config but with a 980ti
>>336364974
>anyone here
No, no one.
>>336370049
I should probably add to this: While the cpu is compatible, the chipset of the board required is a BITCH.
Make sure you have the necessary drivers available by means that the installer can reach. Most of all, don't try an install via USB without them.
>>336364974
>Anyone here use a PC for gaming?

>just get an evo212+ for $30 instead of a noctua meme cooler for almost a hundred bucks.
also have fun waiting for pascal to be available and then not being resold for rape prices on eBay.
I got the same case and it' fucking dope
get a 2 TB drive for your storage, also maybe get a WD Black the warranty is longer and the throughput is a bit better.
>>336370830
>just get an evo212+ for $30 instead of a noctua meme cooler for almost a hundred bucks
At that point, doesn't really matter.
And my nh-u12s is at least pretty much inaudible.
>>336370508
So what would you suggest, moving the drivers to the HDD before trying to install everything?
I'm looking at the 6600k and it's only like $20 more than the 4690k, so now I'm thinking I should bite the bullet and go for that. I want this PC to last me a while.
>>336364974
I have that case, 10/10 airflow and cable management if you can afford the large footprint
>>336371236
footprint?
>>336368416
So if I got a better PSU would that be a good system? What would be a better PSU option for that setup?
>>336371314
The amount of power something uses
Why do people OC?
You just get a couple more frames by adding more wasted power and generates more heat.
Why not just get the next tiered component?
>>336371210
>So what would you suggest, moving the drivers to the HDD before trying to install everything?
Pretty much, yes. Most reliable solution.
The installer also won't recognize the drivers easily, so you'll have to uncheck the box for incompatible drivers.
If you're using an internal drive, it's possible you can get by without incident, but I wouldn't rely on it.
With a decent cooler, the 6600k can easily be ramped up to 4+GHz if you care. Even otherwise, unless you want to drop some serious money, I'd say take it.
>>336371442
Why does the 540 use a lot of power?
54 dollars for ram?
With that same amount you can get double.
>>336371314
>>336371442
I meant the space it takes up
It's almost twice as wide as a normal tower
>>336371550
54 pounds actually so Like 80 dollars
Wanted to get a small unit and this shit was perfect.
Learned a couple of things that nobody ever to answer here on my own.
>>336371661
Eurotax makes up for it.
>3000 speed ram
jesus cwithe
Anything above 16 gigs - 1600mhz is a waste for gaming
>>336371661
You can still get better ram with that money

That's a good case, nice job.
>>336371809

>>336371809
DDR4 doesn't even come in 1600mhz, doofus.

wow what an extreme motherboard
sabertooth??

its almost like that stuff has something to do with performance.
>>336371996
DDR4 is pretty much the default for skylake already.
DDR3 is just not really a choice anymore.
>>336367294
It looks nice I'll give you that much.
>>336367294
something something protectyourvirginity.jpg
>>336372091
>>336372113
Skylake mostly uses DDR4
Zen is DDR4 only.
X99 is DDR4
Kaby Lake will definitely be DDR4 only
>>336372236
It looks like "I don't actually want to see the tech".
I'll stick with barebones look.
>>336364974
why the FUCK would someone your age spend £1500+ on a computer?
why would you spend £70 on a cpu cooler?
£500 on a monitor?
£279 mobo?
£100 on a ricey case like that?
this is just a joke right?
>>336372295
I was complimenting the only possible good thing about it.
Other than that I see no advantage over barebones mobos

>anon says while posting from his i3 and 750ti
Working on a new build right now since R9 380 is on sale for $250 Canadian.
Debating on whether to do a z97 i7 build or a skylake i3 build. What are the benefits from using DDR4 compared to DDR3 RAM?
>>336372430
You can't play at 1440p@144hz with a potato, my man
>>336372679
>What are the benefits from using DDR4 compared to DDR3 RAM?
If you have the SSD to match you can get a little more performance out of the system.
>or a skylake i3
I sure hope you meant i5 or I'm gonna have to stab you.
>>336372534
I see nothing but marketing terms here and there.
None of which is explained in more detail.
Other than the airflow, I see nothing worth paying 200 bucks for.
>>336372679
>deciding between i3 and i7
why? if you're playing vidya and using a browser, i5 is perfect.
DDR4 is a meme
>>336372679
make it a skylake i5 and your system will be golden
>>336371492
So I have to pick a new mobo. I just stumbled across this.
This mobo would be fine for the 6600k, right? It says the socket is LGA 1151, which is all that matters as far as I know. Again though, I am fucking clueless.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130886&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
>>336372628
>>336372719
all 4 of those things i pointed out have literally no effect on performance
anything above £800 for a full build is a waste of fucking money
>>336372796
X99 boards start at $200
This isn't some mediocre z97
is 2800 enough for a high-end pc?
>>336372947
If you're satisfied with an 'okay' PC I suppose
>>336372796
If you're ever unsure about part compatibility, pcpartpicker will automatically cross-reference compatibility between all parts in your build. It'll check for things like correct sockets, parts being too big for a case and estimated wattage
>>336372907
It's a B150 though.
You won't be able to OC here.
You need to look for a Z170 to match that processor.
>>336372947
>1500 on a computer
>500 on a monitor
two of them did. That's about as good as monitors get for that resolution and framerate.
>>336373087
Is overclocking necessary? Doesn't it void your warranty or put your CPU at risk?btw I found a retailer that I think made a pricing mistake. I might be able to get that mobo for like $15 unless they catch it.
>>336372907
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130892&cm_re=msi_z170a_pro-_-13-130-892-_-Product
That's mine at the moment. Good OC support, faster RAM support for the future. A bit smaller, may feel odd when fixing it in (only 6 screws instead of 9).
>>336373050
well i guess if your mum has the money you're free to buy whatever you want
>>336373357
>getting this upset and jealous
m8
save that money and wait less than a year to get the new graphics cards and processors, so that your pc last much longer and also there is nothing special coming to the pc that you need it right now.
>>336373298
>>336373087
Nvm the mistake. I'm retarded.
>>336367294
siimple pc building rule since cpus use on board ram controller now - BUY THE CHEAPEST ONE with minimal needed interface options
>>336373298
Your processor has a K in it. That processor is for OCing.
If you don't plan to OC then get the regular version.
Also, the mobo is still bad regardless. B150 is mainly intended for business purposes.
Get an H170 if you plan to add an SSD to speed up the system.
If you won't be doing that, then an H110 would sufice.
Simply put, do not buy anything with a B on it as it's not intended for gaming purposes.
Why on earth is msi offering a B150 gaming board? Beats me.
>>336373580
>Why on earth is msi offering a B150 gaming board?
because performance is the same 1:1 as Z board if you don't OC
>>336364974
>PC
>for gaming
>>336373769
Or use fast RAM, the B is limited to 2133MHz, it seems.
And the Z doesn't even really cost more.
OP here
Is it worth spending an extra £100 for the IPS version of the monitor?
>>336373920
Do you mind backlight bleeding?
>>336373834
RAM timing and speeds do not matter since 2009
amount does, speed no
>>336373580
Alright. I'll have to take a look at some prices and decide what I want to do. Thanks for your help.
>>336373920
Yes.
>>336373972
yes ?
>>336373769
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
>>336373920
>>336374076
If you mean the PG270Q - I'd say no.
You'll get backlight bleeding. That's common in all IPS panels. No way around.
The main selling point is the G-Sync, it seems. Which shouldn't be worth that much to you.

>>336374068
>>336373920
Personally I think you should get the X34
It's 1440p, gsync, 100hz and 34inches curved
only an extra 150 pounds
>>336374113
Still get at least H board just in case, they are about 10% more expensive.
>>336373786
Got a decent 700 USD build with a 960 and I am enjoying new games. Overwatch looks and plays amazing.
People spending thousands of dollars on a custom PC just want to be able to run a game for 5 minutes, admire how pretty it looks, and never touch it again.
Then come to /v/ and brag about numbers.
>>336374278

>>336374286

Not the dude buyin the mobo. But the one that didn't know why they'd use the B150.
And I agree, the H would be the best bet for him.

who the heck cares on PC where does it fall at?
>>336374372
>1440p is a meme

Does anyone know of a monitor with GOOD colors?
1080p@60Hz preferable
>>336374492
Anyone who's spent years fighting non-mainstream resolution monitors, i.e. me.
>>336372679
Nothing really, aside from the fact that no new processor past 2016 will be using it.
>>336370918
Sorry m8, you don't get to post a picture of the PC you built unless it has perfect cable management.
Not to try and Hijack this thread from OP, but could someone link me to a decent pc for 500-700 USD? I'm suick of having a Shit-top that runs any game released past 2014 at 3 frames a year.
>>336374701

I think that overclocking is one of those pseudo-1337 things in many cases, but I have heard of people overclocking for practical reasons like editing 4K video. In any case, it seems like one should just buy the better CPU rather than buying the cheaper CPU and the expensive cooling system, but hey, what do I know.
>>336374592
yea, dell ultrasharps of current year model
>>336374605

>>336372430
Disposable income or rich parents + PC building being their current obsession. We're talking rich boy gets a hobby and immediately searches for the most expensive stuff within that hobby.
There is a lot of money to be made marketing to this type of consumer. You can get them to spend $500+ on cosmetic stuff alone.
I mention this every so often in /g/ threads because there's almost always once guy that ends up not knowing:
If you're using an Nvidia card with a monitor via HDMI, it by default treats said monitor like a TV and sets the color spectrum to Limited, creating a washed out look. Open the nvidia control panel, open the Display Settings menu (i believe thats the name; not home right now to check. Same menu where you can set custom refresh rates and what not) and change the color spectrum to Full. You'll have to do this again every time you update a driver
>>336375014

>>336375134
Get a zotac 960 4GB version. Shit plays everything new at 50-60 fps on max settings.
You will probably need to upgrade that processor though but not sure which one as I am not familiar with AMDs.
After some research, looks like the processor is fine.
I think that's about it, just upgrade your gfx.
>>336375378
No but I would like to get an ssd
Only buy a PC if you plan on using it more for gaming, like watching streams of your favorite movies, doing your artwork, browsing g the internet, school work, or using a word processor. The emulation on PC is enough as it is but that's it. Overall just buy a pre built.
Consoles are where its at for newly released titles that are relevant.
>>336375482
Throw one in, they're not really expensive anymore. A sandisk Ultra II is like $70.
>>336375134
>859 RAM speeds
wew
upgrade to 1600 and 8/16 gigs. 16 makes for better future proofing and is needed in some fringe cases
get a mid-end i5 to couple with a 960
>>336375270
Can't remember as it was 2 years ago and I had to return it.
Yes, it had the U and I believe was the 25 inch model.
Give me the model you're using. I am willing to give it a second chance.
>>336375474
>Zotac anything

>>336375570
>>336375474
My original plan was new gpu plus 8gb ram, but I realized my cpu is maybe lacking. I would gladly switch to intel tho their naming convention escapes me, is there a recommended i5?
>>336375134
That CPU is OK, get a new GPU. 960 is comparable to a 680, iirc, so go from there. Also an SSD.
>>336375570
Speccy reports DDR as single-rate, so that is 1600mhz.
>>336375736
It's the cheapest option at 170 dollars and the build quality is good.
I've been using it and it's great.
The only downside is maybe the heat production which starts at 40.
But considering the one the Anon is using produces 37, I don't see a big deal.

If you're switching anyways, and hence need a new board anyways, I'd say go for the i5 6600k, or if you want to spend, i7 6700k.
>>336376010
4690/4690k would be fine for the 960 or 70. I wouldn't go for the 6600 unless you plan on upgrading your GPU again in the next year or two
>>336375570
I run 1333 and guess what IT DOESN'T MATTER for games i get same fps as "benchmarkers" with their 3ghz RAM
>>336376172
There is a few frame difference between 1333 and 1600. After that you do see diminishing returns. The price difference between the two is negligible anyways.
Can you play nioh, bloodborne, demon's souls, uncharted 4, last guardian on a pcuck machine?
No? then why would you want a 3000 dollar waste of space with an increased electricity bill every month?
>>336376010
In case you're not aware of this: You can't switch your processor for an intel while keeping that mobo.
You need to do a mobo swap as well if you do so.
Your cpu seems fine though.
I have the i5 6500 (non OC) at 3.2 GHz and it runs fine with the 960.
>>336375824
>>336376002
Nope
DDR is DOUBLE DATA RATE.
Speccy reports it as SINGLE data rate.
He probably has two sticks, which is why it's dual channel. Even single channel, it will still say 859mhz.
>>336376010
i5-6500
i5-6600K
i5-4590
i5-4460
>>336374286
Hmmm
Looks nice
Will the set up in OP's link be able to run an ultra wide 1440p?
Assuming it will have a pascal
>>336376251
well, i have cheapest kingstone value sticks x2 4gb not even matched for dual channel since 2011 and fps difference is less than 5%
>>336364974
If you're going for longevity definitely consider water cooling in your case. This is the best option - cuts down on dust and is much better at cooling than fans.
>>336376436
The DH15 he chose is actually probably on par with water cooling, and it has a 5 year warranty
>>336376287
Yeah I can. Why do you ask, Anon?
>>336376287
>last guardian
Not really fair to use games that don't even exist as points against PC.
As for the others, PC already has Netflix support. Those movies aren't exclusive to PS4
i have a core 2duo
2gb ram
amd5450
give me half of that money!!!!!
>>336376683
I used to be there too. I feel ya.
Save up a bit, drop a thousand at some point, makes for sweet results and another 5 yearss.
>>336376683
been there, i had single core CPU right at the time when games required dual cores en masse, felt terrible
>>336376683
My brother was on a Intel Core 2 Duo e4500, GT 610, and 4GB RAM last year.
For Christmas, I got him an EVGA GTX 950, and then he upgraded to an 860K and 8GB of RAM.
He was pretty happy.
You'll get there eventually.
>>336376683
Start sucking dick for dosh while your toaster is busy mining crypto currency. You'll get there eventually
i really want to ask that
do brands make difference ?? like corsair etc
because here locally if we want upgrade we just tell how much ram we want and they just give like there is no concept about brands
>>336377064
He won't, not while he burns more in power bills than he gets returns in crypto.
I never understood the feeling of how awesome is to have a custom machine until I built one.
Thanks to whoever Anon convinced me of not buying an ayylmaoware.
>>336377071
ram? Doesn't matter.
Everything else? Matters in terms of reliability.
>>336364974
Not looking at your build, but I will tell you that tower is fantastic. Makes builds super easy. Absolutely love mine.
>>336377071
short answer yes
long answer gen by gen it's different
>all these replies to an obvious bait thread
I mean, he even started the post with "Anyone here use a PC for gaming?". How gullible can you be?
>>336369159
Fuck off, retard.
>>336377071
They don't make a difference performance-wise.
Built quality is where it differs.
For example I've heard EVGA has the best PSUs and ASUS has the best mobos or Corsair the best cases and so forth.
Other than that it boils down to personal preference or whatever you rig needs to make it look cool (like blue themed mobo, etc)
>>336377110
You're welcome.
By the way, a deal's a deal anon!
>>336377241we just want to talk about PC parts
>>336377241
What?
>>336377241
OP's "bait" is just the thread start. After that, there's usually a lot of legit discussion.
>>336377064
>>336376942
>>336376862
the thing is i can still run dota 2 and other shit load of indie games amd emulate upto wii
doesnt matter how much people hate indie games but for me they got it going for me and i never have felt to upgrade only game i want to play that i cant run is street fighter V which i get to play with mah bro
>>336377305
your point is right but you are wrong about all those brands
>>336377409
>>336377339
>>336377241
How is it bait
>>336377465
It's a "I want to waste money for minimal returns because I have too much money and PCs are expensive right" build
>>336377251
It's a low end i5 being paired with a X80 GPU 4 years newer than it. fuck off retard
>>336377318
>I've heard
As in when browsing comments and stuff that's, for the most part, the voice.
Whether they're the best in their areas is up to debate.
>>336377305
if i dont want my pc look cool and want a cheap way than simple thing is ok right?
the only thing that worries me is what if my pc gets outdated thats why i asked that question
>>336377441
Hello Ronaldo!
>>336377558
>its a low end i5
not really, thats not even the low end model of i5's
that i5 won't bottleneck anything.
>>336377669
u mean Fernando
I have the same case m8, it's nice
>>336377661
If you have a shit or off brand PSU, you risk blowing half your rig when it goes down.
If you have a shit or off brand mobo, same.
Everything else is just more liable to die eventually, or earlier.
Except ram, no one cares about ram and it lasts forever.
>mbw
>>336377661
Yeah you can go by cheap components and they often perform great.
It shouldn't get outdated for a while with the correct components.
>>336377863
aslo, i7 at 4.9ghz
>>336370918
I've got this case as well. I think it's quite nice as well.
>>336377863
>Win8.1
JUST
>>336377661
Do not cheap out on PSUs
Do not cheap out on MOBOs
Other components (save SSDs) are going to sit in the same price range; you'll need to do your own research on build quality and such individually
>>336377863
This looks like it was quite expensive at some point.
>>336377839
Obviously don't buy chinese-branded or unknown branded components.
>>336377441
You're right, that's why we gave it away to friend who wants a PC but can't afford one.
>>336377839
amazing thing is i have only heard brands in terms of ram
>>336378060
>>Win8.1
>JUST
works better than Windows 7 and I already have classic shell installed.
>>336378098
about 1500 dollars, I bought a 1440p monitor for xmas which brings it out to about 1750
totally worth it though I love the thing
>>336378060
What exactly do you mean don't cheap out on MOBO?
I got a Gigabyte Micro ATX DDR4 GA-H170M-DS3H, is that cheaping out?
>>336378372
>What exactly do you mean don't cheap out on MOBO?
he means those dinky 40-50 dollar motherboards from a brand you've never heard of.
>>336378372
Nah, Gigabyte is fine.
>>336377558
>4590 = bad
>when we don't now how the 480x performs
>when in all likelihood it's comparable to a 390
Tip toppy kek, m8.
Daily reminder that Pascal is being announced on Friday, with Polaris hopefully soon after
Cards will most likely hit shelves next month, so if you buy an old card now you are retarded
>>336378372
you can safely buy any board from big 3
>>336378430
>>336378456
>>336378529
Alright thanks guys.
>>336378467
apparently 480 not x is comparable to 390x
>>336378372
GB is fine mate
It's like what>>336378430
said. Weird chink brand you havn't heard of that spit out $50 boards are what you avoid.
>>336378060
how are default dell/hp mobos are they all right
>>336378502
Pascal cards for consumer use will be available on 2017 though.
>>336378631
They're usually shit in terms of what they can do, not how long they last.
>>336378631
>default
You shouldn't be buying pre-builts familia.
>>336378621
I'm going to be somewhat skeptical. They could be cherrypicking most likely.
>>336378772
that's true they last long time but worthless outside of prebuilt
>>336378834
engineering sample benches leaking
amd didn't say a thing
>>336378631
Dell/HP usually have custom Foxconn motherboards made for them. They usually aren't of any good quality such as having solid state capacitors, good Voltage Regulating Modules or heatsinks. Sometimes HP uses a proprietary motherboard you can't upgrade or use again if you really wanted to.
>>336378776
we just buy pre built and upgrade to our liking and sell remaining parts
>>336377839
Is EVGA reliable for PSU?
>>336378947
Really? The final would be better all likely. Hopefully that is the case.
>>336378986
Whatever floats your boat, but I wager 9 times out of 10 you'd have saved dosh and had a nicer case buy buying all your parts separate.
>>336378760
Only the Titan/1080ti models
The 1070 and 1080 will be here next month
>>336379056
Yes.
>>336379056
EVGA and coolermaster both make top-tier PSUs, yes
>>336377863
Can someone explain this shit to me?
This guy has a 2GB 980 Ti and it outperforms a 4GB 960?
Why or how?
>>336378986
This is an interesting concept because I did the same thing for my first build out of highschool
Dell was having a black friday sale on their previous year's desktops which Dell sometimes sells at a loss because they want to introduce their next year's thing. So I got a dinky i7 computer with 8gb of ram and pretty much nothing else for 600 dollars. I then bought a 560ti and a better PSU for a total of 250 and got a really solid gaming computer for just 850 dollars after tax.
This only works however if you know the price that a company is selling is significantly less than normal retail and significantly less than what you would pay to have it yourself
>>336379056
The EVGA G2 psus are legendary
>>336379129
Source?
>>336379129
Yeah, all five of them, supplied to reviewers.
>>336379206
What's higher in the 960 is only the memory size, i.e. how much in shit it can hold at any time.
But its GPU is much faster regardless. It's a bit like a faster car with a smaller gas tank.
So what's the best gpu right now for good 1080p/60fp? I want to replace mine since it's starting to fail on me but don't want to buy something "too strong".
>>336379072
>>336379072
ok senpai i still have a super old pc the next one i will buy will be separate parts if i can
thanks for really informative convention everyone
>>336379206
Nvidia never made a 980ti with 2gb memory
Speccy is buggy sometimes, it doesn't see all 6gb of memory and it just displays 2gb for no apparent reason.
>>336379206
Speccy doesn't read over 4gb vram with Nvidia cards
It's a normal 980ti
