Yeah.. that was THE main reason for me. I game @ 4K (Sony 55" x850). Dying Light @ 4K was dying pretty badly when I turned up the eye candy.. lol

I made the jump from (2) Zotac AMP! GTX 970'S to (2) EVGA 1080 SC cards. Not sure if it draws half the power but it certainly doubled my frame rates!

I love my Gaming 7..it's one of the most feature packed boards I've ever owned for as little as it costs.

Agreed.. and the OP is only @ 1920x1200. More than likely, he will not see any huge benefit at that resolution from "upgrading" from a 2gb to 4gb card. He may want to consider a second card for SLI. Initially, I thought I was going to have some big troubles gaming on my dual 970 GTX's in SLI at...

Guess the stock levels are finally starting to normalize. It would seem the initial run of customers buying this processor is finally starting to stabilize. Coming from a Core i7 2600K (DDR3 1600 memory), this is a decent upgrade for me. I am digging the M.2 drives offered on the Z170 chipset. I...

...and I just confirmed that my Sony receiver is receiving the digital 5.1 signal via SPDIF. My receiver is outputting it as a 5.1 / 5.2 signal (I have 2 subwoofer outputs on the rear of the receiver). So, I've got two 12" subs running, a left and right front set of tower speakers, a center...

I just pulled out my motherboard box: GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 Intel Z170/Socket1151/rev.1.0 4DDR-4 2-CH/PCI-Ex16/ATX USB3.1/Gbe LAN/SATA Express TYPE-C/5.1 HD Audio/SATA The UPC is: 8||| 89523 || 00142 |||4 So, it does appear that I do have the 5.1 HD Audio version. Does yours have an -EU designation?

I have the same mobo.. I can report that NO issues running 6700K at 4.8ghz. Get's a bit toasty after a few hours of running CPU stressing under a Promlimatech Megahalems after 6 hours of testing. Hit a high of 76c on one of the cores.. the other three cores hit a high of 75c and 74c...

That was the EXACT issue when I made the leap. Back on opening day when the 2600K was released, I stood in line outside of my local Microcenter in the snow during a snow storm, freezing my butt off. I was mainly focused on the processor and only gave a small consideration to the motherboard. I...

Good combo.. I bought my Gigabyte Gaming 7 from Newegg but actually picked up my 6700K from Microcenter. Keeping my fingers crossed for 4.6ghz - 4.7ghz.

That's exactly what my thought process. So, here is what I just purchased a week ago: Gigabyte Gaming 7 Intel 6700K (plan on 4.6 - 4.7ghz OC) Gskill DD4 3000 x 16gb's Windows 10 x64 Samsung EVO 850 1tb SSD Zotac AMP! GTX 970 x2 for SLI EVGA 1K Platinum PSU Sony 55" x850C 4K 120hz monitor

I'm running a Sony 55" 4K (XBR55X850C) that runs 120hz natively. Obviously, 120hz is AWESOME compared to a 60hz monitor so maybe the smoothness gained on my monitor helps keep the action flowing as intended. Pushing my graphics are (2) Zotac AMP! GTX 970's in SLI on my i7-6700K setup. I can...

Yeah.. it started out simple enough. New processor. Of course, it's a socket change so I needed a new mobo. Then, I needed DDR4. My psu was aging plus I wanted a platinum rated power supply. After it was all said and done, I just threw in the towel and bought all new stuff.. haha. Darn you, new...

I just drove to Microcenter in Richardson, Texas two days ago. I called them and they had (3) i7-6700K's in stock. I arrived an hour later, they were gone (except for mine that I purchased).. $359 plus tax. I drove back home and said might as well buy the rest of my new rig parts online at...

Exactly. Plus, being a Windows 10 user, my dad sits closer to his TV due to his failing eye sight.. he just increases the icons and text to 200% if he sits closer to his tv.

I just pulled the trigger on a Sony 55" X850C today. It gets a 10 out of 10 as a PC monitor. It will be paired with my new build: Core i7-6700K Zotac SLI'd GTX 970's EVGA 1K PSU

Thread back from the dead.. I picked up two ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970 ZT-90106-10P 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express SLI Support AMP! Omega Core Edition Video Cards today. Anyone else running this card? Seems to have a good rating and excellent choice of connections: DVI, HDMI and Display Port. In SLI...

I just purchased it today (along with several parts for my new build). I picked up an i7-6700K. Hopefully everything will install without a hitch.

Very nice eikei.. I still have my Lian Li PC-Q07B case.. It has a new home in my front living room as my HTPC. We get a lot of compliments on it! I can post some updated pictures this coming Sunday. *EDIT* Saturday 12-07-2013 - My "setup" is not complete but these pictures should give you a...

I've played around with Windows 8 and it's not too terrible actually. However, after trying out different "start menu" type apps, I like the Power Shell one the best.. I am sticking with it!

Took the advise of constantly attempting a login. I can say that after 10 hours and 41 minutes of attempting to login, I FINALLY got it. I tried this method roughly every 3 minutes for the past 10 hours and 41 minutes.. haha! Talk about determination.. haha!

Can't even register for a new account.. I can initially get the actual site to come up but the moment I click "CREATE AN ACCOUNT", instant fail.

For the past 4 days, Microcenter's website has been "experiencing technical issues". I called Microcenter and they said they are aware of the issue. Funny, when I asked them to reserve me a copy over the phone, they said they couldn't do that.. instead, I have to do it on their website. I said...

I'm wondering, will Newegg or Compusa/TigerDirect price match Microcenter???

Wonderful build.. I really enjoyed reading the updates!

Yeah.. I'm sure it could be done but since everything "plays" well together like it is, I will just leave well enough alone. After gaming for about 3 hours on Alice: Madness Returns, GPU-Z reported a max temp of 67 degrees. I'm totally OK with that temp after a 3 hour gaming binge on this m-ITX...

Sorry it took me a bit to get these pictures posted.. I was able to transplant an old single slot PCI bracket from the GT 440 card that she had to her new MSI GTS 450 that had a dual slot PCI bracket. I also couldn't stand it so I added a low profile Scythe 120mm fan. The fan shroud of the...

Thanks for the heads up on the USB connector interfering with the Palit GTX 560ti card. I guess there is no market for a non standard length (or even a low profile) Nvidia midrange gpu. The lower tier FERMI cards such as a GT 430, GT 440, GT 510GT 520, GT 530, GT 545 are just about all that...

As promised.. I took some pictures of my progress. The HDD mount came out really well.. I'm pleased with its' location and how it physically mounts up. The top of the HDD where the connections are is a little tight but that's OK. That helped me route a lot of unnecessary wires out of the way. I...

In my opinion, I really like the multi tool with the circular attachment. It takes ALL of the guess work out of it and leaves you a PERFECT round hole. The only thing you really have to do is be patient while you are pushing it around in a circle. If you push too fast, you run the risk of...

Well, if my solution doesn't work, then I have no other recourse. It will have to be your solution. As for your velcro advise, you and I must think alike. I have some 3M permanent industrial double sided adhesive tape PLUS I have some Hammerhead Omni-stick metal bonding adhesive / glue...

Wow.. very impressive! The slimline optical / hdd mount would be the BEST solution for me but it would cost me roughly $37 dollars for the mount and $85 dollars to migrate to a slimline bluray drive. If I can't get everything to "play" nicely together, you can rest assured that I will be buying...

Good advise! I will deny everything! ..haha. Tomorrow, her new video card should arrive and hopefully, I will have a new mounting solution for her hard drive. I plan on mounting it near the front part of the case. When I get everything mounted up, if she has any room for a 120mm fan at the...

Well, to be honest, I purchased a black wire grill. It was actually up to the wife.. I showed her what it would look like with the old Lian Li grill and the black wire grill. She said the Lian Li grill (so she was the deciding factor.. not me.. LOL). I even tried to paint it black and she said...

Well I have started back in on my wifes PC-Q07. I took several pictures of the "conversion" but I've reached a stopping point for the evening. I made a funny mistake and ordered the Galaxy GTS 450 SINGLE SLOT video card. When I test mounted it, I found out that is did NOT fit in this case. It is...

Do you have any pictures for reference?

This is the DVI to HDMI cable that I used.. It worked like a champ (had a 30% off all Rosewill Cables coupon): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882021059
