2 HDDs, one 1TB and one 3TB
At some point I'll get an SSD and some more RAM, maybe a new GPU, but so far my i5 has been trucking right along.
I have a 960 in the mail
Probably should have went for a 970 or 80 but whatever. Its better than my 750

Yes it would, that's just a locking connector to hold it into the slot, there's wires or anything in it
I'm well aware that this is toaster-tier, but I'm not a rich/clever man. A friend was selling an old PC and I got this for $475 plus a 22in monitor and razer black widow ultimate thrown in. Did I get ripped off?
In a few months, after working as a trucker with no bills and living out of the truck, I plan to blow mad dosh on a gaming laptop. Oxymoronic, I know, but there will be no real other options.

There was another trucker who posted his full desktop SLI 980 gaming rig that he ran off of a 3000W generator in his cab
Who /980 ti/ here?
Had it for a year (3570k + 970) and the only relatively graphically intensive games that I've played are Dark Souls 1 + 2, Warframe, MGR, DE:HR, Bioshock Infinite, emulated PM/Melee and Emulated Xenoblade, maybe the new release of DMC4 if that counts as well.

>>318659970
Google and read tutorials.
It's not hard to do, but it's time consuming, since most of the task is just making tiny incremental changes, then restarting to see if your CPU can handle it.
>>318660105
Not that guy but the 6120 is a piece of shit for 2015.
>>318659631
probably go with a 970 since I'm in love with shadowplay
How do you decide on which brand of 970?
>>318658937
I hope that monitor is good.
I got a 960 as a gift a few months ago, served me well so far. But I've been looking at at the 970. Is it worth dropping at least 300 sponduli for it? Feel like I should wait for a sub 300 deal or something. 960 was hardly used, maybe a month?
>>318657508
I'm stupidly holding off until the occulus comes out so I can build a rig that'll hopefully run the rift at silky smooth frames. Current build is from 2012 and I'm fiending for a water cooled build.
>>318660105
That Pc is like $100-150
>>318657508

It's just a fucking lock for the slot. Breaking it does nothing to the card itself.

How much did you pay for it? I have the Tri-X version and was thinking of getting another 290x for Christmas.
I could really do with getting a new case for mine to keep it cool. Any ideas?
My i5 2500k is getting old but I'm still running games at max by turning down shadows.
Debating another rebuild because my interest in video games is waning.
>>318661063
If you can find one for cheap, CM 690 II.
Shit's frosty cool and roomy, but I can't seem to find new ones anywhere.
>>318658759
Yeah its just a piece of plastic that latches the card to the board.
>>318660845
For $350 just get the r9 390 man.

It's a christmas present for me from a co-worker. Meaning no money spent from me. Helped the dude with his car & his ex-girlfriend. So far: car runs fine & the ex is now a fuck-buddy.
I win.
Would a 4690k still be able to run games for a good 5+ years with a 970? Or shall I jump to 6600k??
havent not had a gaming pc since the 90s. building a second pc now for the gf out of my old rig + a few new parts. every piece of hardware in my new case except some fans has obnoxious blinking or twirling lights on it

Oddly enough google doesn't really answer this question, I can put 2 390's on my mobo if I have a good enough PSU, right?
>>318661681
>Would a 4690k still be able to run games for a good 5+ years with a 970?
Yes, there are people still on Sandybridge that don't need to upgrade
>>318661862
havent bothered to get a second 8gig ram stick yet because i havent found a reason yet, but it would be trivial financially
>>318661973
Crossfire is a thing that exists, yes.
>>318661973
Yes.
There are some power utilities on the internet that can determine your exact power needs for your build, but I have no link handy.
Just google system power requirements tool
>>318657508

Not sure which of those things I'm more jelly of... Good for you, m8!
I can get a regular 290x for about $340 here in Europe, but that seems pretty expensive.

I did this back in Spring. It was a budget setup since I was using a Laptop before this and needed a Monitor/Keyboard/all that shit.
Feels nice to have a PC that can actually handle more than the lowest settings possible on 5+ years old games.
>>318662187
I'm guessing the 1000w PSU I'm getting will be just fine
>>318660472
Well, it voids your warranty if it have it, and since its a 980 I'd bet that its still on
My gtx 770 is still playing games fine. I don't have a job though so I couldn't upgrade even if I needed to.
I wanna get anothet SSD though because my first one is full of hi res feet pics.

So go through 10x the work, source parts from old ebay listings and shitty websites, take a gamble and try to get compatible working parts, jurry rig a case, connectors, and power solutions all to save a hundred bucks or so?
Why not just get a used 2500K and mobo instead of going through all this nonsense for non up-gradable hardware?

>>318658884
Locking connector has been broken on my motherboard for 3 years, no issues here.
Already done.
For a bit I was thinking about getting a 1440p monitor, then AMD came out with VSR, so I have no reason to.
Surprised how well my GPU can handle 1440p.
60 FPS in GTA V on very high, 60 FPS inTitanfallon max with 2x MSAA, 60 FPS in Killing Floor 2 on ultra (with SSAO instead of HBAO), I even get decent performance in FO4.
I've also got a WiiU with Smash, Splatoon, MK8, and Bayo 2 coming in next week.
This is gonna be a fun Christmas.
>>318663575
pretty good. how much is it?
>>318658760
Huh, do those CPU fans actually work? I got a R4 case so airflow is a bit shit, but a gigantic aluminum brick style CPU cooler just to pull around 35 idle @ 4.2 Ghz for my 2500K.
My PC has been at home in a closet for the past year.
I'm going home for Christmas later this months and want to transport it back to my apartment since I have a permanent residence now and won't be moving around for a bit.
Assuming it still runs after I take it out and dust it off, what's the best and safest way to transport my desktop and monitor across the country?
Taking it apart and shipping it with insurance? Or leaving it together and shipping it? Or taking it back myself on a plane in a checked bag disassembled?
Has anyone moved/shipped a desktop before?
I have another idea too. I put it together and have the invoice for the parts so if I shipped it I could insure it for the cost of the parts then give it to FedEx and ship it so if (when) it breaks en-route I can put together a brand new PC with insurance money.
What do?
Can I bribe you to rate my shit with some hi-res Mikan?

It's not wasting though...
The estimates for ssd life span are ten years IF you're constantly writing and rewriting to them. For 99% of people it's longer than 10 years.
And Even if it weren't only 10 years... By the time that decade has passed, newer, faster storage will already be it and we'll all have moved to that.

This GPU trades blows with a 770/680, but in a lot of newer games it almost performs on par with a 780.
Shit, it might even outperform a 780 if you OC it.
Pretty sweet, just finished building yesterday.
Pic related, my graphics card came with a free granola bar for some reason.
Hey /v/ I'm looking to buy a computer for gaming, making videos, and streaming. I have a friend who's willing to put it together for me if I buy the parts.

Is a good place to start, they have price tiers aimed toward "most bang for your buck" type computers and it's a good place to start your research. I'd suggest building it WITH your friend instead of just having him build it so you are at least knowledgeable on what goes/is where and everything.
>>318664654
Right, 3 GB is fine for modern games unless it's a really poorly optimized game like Arkham Knight or Black Cocks 3 (though even with 4 GB of VRAM you'll have performance issues in BO3 unless you also have 12+ GB of RAM.

What did you have before?
>>318663832
I looked through the video cards and it literally doesn't list the 390, is it really dated or something? There's a metric ton of GPUs listed and 390 isnt there.

Look at the bright side, your 7970 is still pretty competitive, and plays most games really well.
>>318664751
I have the 400r which is just the nearly-identical predecessor. These cases are perfect for first time builders because they're so roomy and easy to position everything.
For my next build, I'll be avoiding full tower cases though. There just so big.
But the white LEDs do look nice. I leave them off most of the time though.

>>318657508
Good. But i've been wondering if i should get more RAM, maybe 2x8GB? I don't really know.
Bought the 970 this summer, sold my old 760 to a friend for about 70 bucks and a copy of Witcher 3 to boot. I got Arkham Knight with the 970, never installed it and probably not gonna.
Looking forward to christmas, the thought of playing Fallout 4, Monkey Island and Red Orchestra 2 fills me with feelings of comfiness.

Dude, i got mine velcro'd to the front panel of my case, you'll be fine. Just make sure the cables won't get bent.
I think the small size of the SSD's are what attract me most about them, besides the speed of course, since you can stack them into pretty much any open spots in your case, as long it's not gonna be pressured by anything heavy.
>>318665295

It's currently in the "I got no money and a toaster laptop to browse but goddamn I do hope that I can save up enough in a few months for a decent rig to play all the nice shit that's been out for the past few tears" stage. Just looking out for what components would make a good enough rig to last for at least a few years but without bankrupting my ass while also keeping track of general prices of PC parts and dreaming of the day when I'll actually get around to buying them.
Also, hoping that the 970 goes down in price over the next few months because fuck getting anything with 2 gigs VRAM or less since that shit's becoming the minimum spec nowadays.
Just got my 144hz monitor with low input delay. It's so fucking nice. Now my secondary monitor at 60hz and medium input delay feels terrible even when just moving the mouse around on it.

I stuck my SSD behind my motherboard with nothing to secure it, it's been there over a year.
>>318665946
Generally quieter/can cool things to a lower temp.
However, it's actually less effective than an air cooler for overclocking, since the liquid doesn't move as fast as air.
Was designed to shit on Linus's "Holiday" $1000 PC and start a flame war in the comments.
>>318665946
It's mostly a meme for consumer whores. You should only water cool if you're overclocking like crazy or are using some tiny/weird case with bad airflow.
Also, premade closed loop coolers suck. Only build your own loop. A mid-tier air cooler will outperform an expensive close loop cooler.
>>318665330
Damn, we're nearly twins
>>318665527
I don't see any compatibility options
And what would be compatible with a 290 and not a 390?
>>318666027
nothing wrong with it if you buy from a reputable seller
That Webm reminds me of when I built my first computer and tried to get an AGP card into a PCI Express x16 slot. Good times.
>>318665946
More heat dissipation than air, less bulky, returns back to idle temps from load much faster
>>318664320
I got a granola bar too with mu last purchase from newegg. They also had a $100 voucher for some online wine place.
>>318657508
built my first PC in 2005, then new one 2008 and one I have now 2010.
>>318666136
I don't see many issues here, that's a very nice build, but there are better psus for the money out there
The last time I built a PC was about 3 years ago. I remember case wiring to the motherboard being a fucking bitch.
Have times changed?
>>318663832
Bumping this. A simple "it's shit" or "it's fine" is enough.
I'll give more anime bitches too.

>>318666609
And? It may not be as big a name as other brands but generally their products are pretty good
>>318660825
Or we don't like seeing expensive things that are fragile get circumcised.
>>318666556
Most cases have tie thru in the back to keep it neat. Not sure what your issue was. I personally only had issues putting my motherboard psu cable in but that was just poor build order on my part
>>318666724
Powercolor sucks and I say that as an owner. Shit RMA service (fucking number didn't work and email too forever)
>>318657508
>What is a PCI-E extension
God damn Linus, you dropped the ball
>>318665702
is that really cheapest RAM you can get?
>>318663528
Hey shows multi-unit availability ebay listings of 3GHz Xeons for $20 per.
Just got a better paying job so I'm looking to build a new computer. I'll probably give this computer to friend after I build one.
>>318660825
My eyes widened when I saw him cutting, but then I realized it was fine. While I didn't know it was a lock part, I also noticed it didn't have any metal connectors or pins or anything, so it was probably alright.
>>318666512
Its that or the RM750, which I haven't had a problem with in the past and is currently like $70. Either way the intention is to build custom cables if I were to ever actually recommend anybody this build, as that is something I do for side cash.
Its probably just autism, but I don't particularly like it when somebody recommends something so far out of the ordinary for large mark up prices instead of matching price/performance and added addition of aesthetics.
>>318666836
>cheaping out on ram
How about no. If you want to save money just get a cheaper PSU. Don't buy the marked up ones just get one from china off ebay or aliexpress
>>318666813
>implying Linus thinks before doing anything
He's to busy fantasizing about having Luke be balls deep in his boypussy
I only watch his channel for all the sexual tension between them
>>318666802
Maybe the manual was really shitty. Like they're color coded but don't go to the cooresponding color. Like I remember the red connector didn't go to the red pin, but the orange one. Blue went to grey, and some other annoying shit like that.

>>318657508
Waiting for a stable bios firmware for my gigabyte mobo so I can finally OC the ram without crash.
It's working with the beta firmware, but that fucks up my fan control.
DDR4 is pretty new to manufacturers too.
Also I'm getting a 6700K, cause it's so fucking irritating how underclocked the 6600 is. Got 50C on maximum load, with 40% fan speed. I regret not getting a K so much I bought an i7 K instead.
Yes, I bought into the skylake meme.
>>318666609
Has a tri fan design, which is recommend for any R9 390 or 390X. I have no problem with recommending them in the past. Though, I'm not denying their irrelevance in the market.
>>318657508
made me cringe because warranty voidit's nvidia so your gonna need that warranty
I'm not too literate with computers, but know enough to build one. I want to do a fresh install on my new build, but don't want to install all these programs over again. If I just transfer program folders to the new computer will there be a problem? i.e. transferring the steam folders to a new computer.
>>318667121
Why did you get a locked processor if you presumably have a Z chipset mobo?
>>318666836
for white? yes
>>318666874
$40 for a piece of shit CPU that just about bottle necks anything and can't be overclock. Joy.
>>318667042
>Thinking there is anything wrong with Seagate
Western Digital shilling has gone on long enough.
>>318667209
Programs you'll generally have to reinstall, but you can move all your steam games very easily and just reinstall the steam application so you won't have to download all your games again
Just back up your save files
>>318666836
It looks to be that there is the intention for aesthetics, and in that case, no price is too great.
>tfw built my computer 4 years ago for 1.2k and it still beasts most games
Got an i5 2500k in there and a GTX670.
It feels good to have done something right for once in my life.
>>318666012
Of course, it came with the graphics card, so as far as I'm concerned, it's part of the pc as well.
>>318657508
tfw my gtx 570 stopped working properly and Ive been getting white horizontal lines as artifacts on my monitor.
It wasn 't even overheating.
Now I don't have money to replace it.
>>318667351
Okay thanks anon. I guess I'll just make a list of programs to reinstall.
>>318667301
not that guy but my seagate 2tb external is currently dying after 4 months of hardly any use
>Tfw building a PC for my dad
>Wants an i7 because reasons
>Couldn't find any good i7 deals on Cyber Monday or Black Friday
God dammit, he doesn't even need an i7.
So i just ordered an SSD.
Should I just do a fresh install of windows on it or can I use whatever software it comes with to transfer everything without too much fucking around?
>>318666989
Shit, the funny thing is that Luke would be male model-tier pretty if he wasn't so skinny-fat and so fucking awkward.
No homo though.
>>318667289
Well, if there are actually any 3GHz Xeon gaming benchmarks, that would probably benefit the discussion
>>318667497
Get him an i7 faggot.
>>318667578
You should do a fresh install of your os when possible
>>318667489
There's a process for moving your steam games, just find a guide online. Again, very easy
CCleaner has a feature where it will make a text file of all your installed programs so you don't have to do it manually
>>318667351
Adding to that guys question. I'm guessing you can't just plug back in your current harddrive and be good to go. Is there like a cloud website where you can upload a good ton of shit? I have about 200ish gigs of stuff I need to transfer over.
>>318667626
He benches them in the tests and only manages to get his 980 to run things on medium or worse.
>>318667578
I got a samsung SSD, but the cloning software that came with it sucked so I ended up using a 3rd party program that worked perfectly.
I would recommend a fresh install though. I would have done it, but I was too lazy.
>>318664773
Thanks!
My PC's VGA just died and my Dell notebook has motherboard problems again.
>>318667423
>tfw 2600k and 4gb 670
I know that feel, bro. I feel like things are starting to drop off though. Then again I haven't overclocked anything.
>motherboard is at 61 °C while basically doing nothing but browsing the internet
I need to apply thermal paste and I have no idea how to do it. Time for fun.
>>318667578
Fresh install. Porting an existing OS is rife with problems
>>318667497
How do you KNOW he doesn't need it? Maybe he's one of the few that actually need it's power.
>>318667739
Yeah, I wonder if that's a RAM speed problem, because his CPU and GPU were at like 50%.
>>318666978
>cheap PSU
>saving money on only component that can potentially fuck up whole pc
>>318667686
If you're using the ssd for your os and your hdd for data, it should just be plug and go for picures, vids and general mass data
Like I said, you'll need to reinstall any programs however
>>318667636
>>318667802
All he really plays is CoD 4.
I mean shit, I want to get him a new PC, his current build's nearly a decade old.
He's still running a fucking GTX 275.
But still, an i7?
>>318666565
It's fine. We don't want your stupid anime whores.

I built this recently and it is fun.
>>318667423
Me too, breh. It's been good 4 years, but I don't think this setup will last much longer once UE4 truly comes
>>318667248
Coming from an i5 750, I thought "I'll probably be fine for another 5 years of gaming on high", and I thought the K is a really big ripoff, paying more for a part with one feature turned on.
I bought a Z chipset cause I filtered them by manufacturer and 170 for muh raid, and the Z170 cost only $7 more than it's H version, so I thought why not.
However, somebody already unlocked his locked skylake, so I guess a mod is on the way!
>>318667792
Youtube apply thermal paste
and then ignore any idiot who gets it everywhere and doesn't spread it evenly
>>318667792
If your motherboard is hot, thermal paste won't do much as that's for the processor
Get better case airflow for the mobo
(And applying thermal goo is easy)
>>318667987
Don't be a shit son, anon. Get him a 980ti and an i7 6700k.
>>318668114
He's still paying for half of it m8, we don't have the money for a $2000 PC.
