    New Gaming build under $800

    The Ram is a single stick, is that going to result in a performance decrease for dual channel? I realize that in this case, downgrades aren't desirable, but if you had to cut something down, what would it be? I'm thinking of cutting the SSD for a 1TB hard drive?

    Replacement options for a HD5970

    My HD5970 just died. I am looking for a replacement card that is at least as powerful as my old card. I want to know my options (in terms of how much performance increase my money is buying me). I prefer AMD because I may mine crypto currency with it in the future. I currently have 3 1080p...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    Sorry, I hate to necro this thread, but I am getting ready to build this again. Buyer wanted to wait until Haswell, but then it was impacting his workflow because of slow rendering times. So now here is my planned parts: Workstation $1600...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    Where did you hear that? All I've seen are glowing reviews about that board and ones like it. That Asus board looks like it has less OC hardware and has less features than that AsRock. A review on the Extreme4 shows good OC performance...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    After reading through your recommendations and reading some more about intel and amd general cpu performance, it appears that Vishera's single threaded performance can be lacking, while I realize that the whole point of building a "render farm" is to take advantage of parallelism, I would not be...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    After playing around on newegg, I think something like this build looks to be more what I was looking for: Workstation: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=26095007 $1890 I would then buy 2 more systems like that with no GTX680 (-$570) a smaller SSD...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    I honestly wouldn't know the first thing to do with those case mods. They also look extremely time consuming to make. However, space shouldn't be a problem, so feel free to recommend multiple computers. I looked through the parts you suggested and was immediately surprised by your...

    CPU/GPU Render Server/Workstation

    I am looking to build a server with the best possible CPU performance with at least a single GTX 680. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Adobe After Effects Rendering in Classic engine (CPU only); Later on possibly 3D Ray Tracing (not priority) 2)...
