>>556291763 why do you have 32 gbs of ram
>>556292380
Dell Precision T5400. The RAM is maxed for Virtual Box. Plus it was cheap so why not.
>>556291763
Why the fuck would anyone ever need 32 gb of ram?
yerrr buddy
>>556292853
Why not? It's cheap and I never lag under any strain I could put on it.

>>556292123
You gotta up that RAM bro. 2 gigs on an i3?
>>556291763
Dude, clearly you need to upgrade 2 things if your rating is that low.
Upgrade your hard drive and your processor. Seriously all that RAM is going to waste.
Get an SSD and a high rpm 500gb HDD.
And get a fucking iseries processor. An i5 should easily make that computer run like a fucking nigger who just stole a kilo of cocaine.
Supermicro mustard race reporting.
>>556295051
The only reason I have not bought an i series processor is because in all this rig only cost me about $250 after all the upgrades. I know the Xeon's are old but they are dual quads and that is good enough for what I do. I have had it for 2 years though so i series is what I will be going to next.

This, when the fucking parts finally get here
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Grimdark/saved/W8H8TW
>>556295528
Understandable.
Also don't waste money on an i7. If you have a mobo that supports overclocking (or have the knowledge to make it do so) and i5 is all you'll ever need. Shit, even without overclock the i5 is still the best bang for your buck.
Also seriously, SSDs improve performance drastically.

Why waste money on a fancy upgraded card when I'm gonna rip the cooler off anyways and build a custom water cooling loop?
Boot drive is an OCZ RevoDrive X2. Still the fastest SSD I've ever seen.
The 580s are starting to die (random black screens and shit while in games), but I'm hoping they'll hold until the 800 series comes out. Might have to settle on a pair of 780tis and use one of the 580s for PhysX, though.

I also have to replace my motherboard, as it came with bent pins (I bent them back and they work fine now), a dead fan port, and a dead RAM channel. Kinda a bitch, but I'll get a new mobo soon enough.

Unless the 50" TV is 4k, I'd puke at the upscaling.

what iwjLt0A2 said.
>>556302998
I was looking at DDR3-1866 RAM by G.Skill, 16GB kit with two 8GB sticks. price here would be around 150€
>>556303967
It's 1080p, 4 years old, yeah it upscales, but I don't use it primarily for gaming. I kinda just use it as a second monitor to monitor my stream from. I use my Asus for gaming.
>>556303995
I have those in my system. G.Skill Ripjaws X has been perfect, 1866 is a great choice
Check 'em
Any tips on getting better fps on games? Have tried razer's/amd optimization software and it doesn't seem to work. Playin' Watch Dogs, Titanfall, and other games happily.
>>556303967
What?
If you get a 4K TV the upscaling is just going to be exponentially worse. Imagine pulling 720p content all the way to 4K without a decent algorithm like Spline.

Your CPU is aging as well. A 660ti, 670 or 680 would all be good choices for the CPU you have right now. Or if you perfer AMD a 7970 would also be good choice.
However those gpus are hard to come by now so you're probably ready for an upgrade all round.
>>556291763
Toshiba P-850. Works pretty well. only issue I have is that the screen is pretty horrible. the glare/colors. but it plays games so that is nice.
>>556307370
You running the stock heatsink? If so I'd suggest just grabbing a closed loop liquid cooler as opposed to upgrading the processor. Cheaper, can do it now, and then if you still want to upgrade the processor later you can still use the same cooler. Idk if 880's will be worth it when they're brand new. I'd recommend the 6GB 780's, I'm probably gonna wait for the 6GB 780 Ti's personally, but they're gonna be expensive as fuck.

i have made the (really stupid) decision to just shell out bookoodles of money every few years and just stick with laptops. something like the Aorus. I go to too many different places with my laptop to play with pals that a desktop would just slooow me down.

the ONLY thing I like about my brothers macbook is the screen. not so much the colors but just how clear it is. even a matte finish or something would be nice. this thing is a fucking mirror

I bought a 16gb kit for $80 in 2012. It was on sale but still. You'll never see DDR3 at that price again.

I feel you on that. If you move around a lot then the laptop is the way to go. I bought mine so I can take it with me on trips but I don't really ever go anywhere

I upgraded from the Alienware m14x and I'd say it's awesome so far. I can play any of my games on ultra with great frame rates.

I am pretty happy with this

Yea, the retina display is pretty damn nice.
Running Windows on it is a pain, though, since Windows can't scale its UI all that well so you're left with everything looking small as fuck.
Quick screen off my work laptop. Imagine that on a 15" screen.
