I would second (third?) the Mass Effect trilogy, epic UNTIL the end, also I recommend the original Bioshock (the others are good too) and possibly KOTOR I and II if you don't mind a little old school.

I have neither of those two cards, but I think it's fair to deduct that the 980ti is better value, 980ti equals or beats the Fury X in most real life senarios and overclocks far better.

Isn't realistical that a reseller would be taking preorders to gaze the demand before taking out the order with Lian Li?

The BIG question is, when will we be able to preorder? ;)

Don't know if this helps, but I have a GTX970 and an U2414H monitor, and I have had to reinstall the GPU driver in order to get a picture on screen using mini DP. I can't remember if you can force the DP via the Geforce control center.

Dondan, congrats on you new website going live. I'm looking forward to take one of you cases to Denmark :)

I have been playing the Witcher 3 with max settings and hairworks ON at 1080p. My frames are in the fifties mostly (at least when I have cared to check). Before I OC'ed the card I was getting framerates in the high fifties with Hairworks OFF and in the fourties with Hairworks ON. I have OC'ed...

Much in the same way that it is funny that nVidia owners have insisted on the cannedness (is that a word?) of the test?

Tall order, but with a bit of part hunting (the i5-4590 for $160 for example) it should be doable. The below build would go lower than $700 if you could get the CPU at $160 or if you picked another Case/PSU combo than the Hadron Air. I chose to use the Hadron because I like it the best of the...

Any news? It's been a wee bit of time since we have heard from you?

What IS you budget? You should probably answer the sticky questions, but looking at your current system, I think you should just get that GPU and, depending on you current CPU cooler solution, a good CPU cooler so you can OC your i5 and call it the day.

I don't know how the integrated Iris graphics hold up for gaming, but other than that It might not be a bad idea, I'm unsure though if you would benefit enough from more logic cores to warrent the cost of a build. Regardless of you path you'll need a new copy of windows, so I would get that and...

Be careful that you don't over think the choice. Both the Strix and MSI card are effectively silent at idle and when you watch movies. When you game both of them will spin up but using headphones I don't think you'll notice the difference between the two. I have found this review that...

I cannot answer the first part of your question other than passive cooling (fanless) there is no silent way to cool your CPU. With respect to the GPU though I think you should stick with the ASUS Strix because it IS silent up to 60degrees (disregarding coilwhine).

You could consider the Haswell T CPUs (35w or 45w) as they will require less to cool and maybe the Superflower Leadex Gold or Platinum PSUs if you can get them (0rpm fan at less than 40% load possible). Also if possible at all forget about spinning discs if you don't need 3tb storage. I have...

It's because they are only out to get you ;) Seriously though I don't think it's all that bad, all AMD would have had to do were to release the card with air cooling at around $599 and it would have been competitive price/performance wise. Meanwhile I'll stick with my 970GTX.

Quoted for truth.

The GTX 980 ti, because actual performance is known. Once we get actual performance numbers on Fury and 390X that may change, but we really have no way of answering your question until reviews are up.

Smaller is better because two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time :)

You could go with "Goblin", or "Wisp" (both small mythological creatures) or "Manticore" because Manticores are cool :)

I need to ask, what about a GPU, I don't see one in your parts list? Also, Can you take advantage of the 6(12) treads? Do you need the extra PCIe lanes of the 5830K over the 5820K? Finally, unless you're planning for crossfire 1200W pr even 1000W PSU seems like overkill.

Small OC update: I have the I5-4690K stable now at 4.5GHz with 1.2V, tested with OCCT large data set for 8+ hours and max temps at 68C and the H100i GTX fan DC control set to "silent" in the fan monitor bios setting. The Strix is currently boosting at 1.403MHz stable (Furmark Firestrike)...

I got it yesterday, It's perfectly quiet, I have yet to hear the fan spin up (I have it set to "ECO" mode).

With Regards to the RAM heatsinks I have no issues as I've chosen a closed loop cooler, so there is no overhang. I went for the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv because I liked the design better. The build quality is close to flawless and apart from the size I have nothing bad to say about the case...

It's for a new build, the HX620 is doing great, it's still overkill though but the 650w and 750w costs the same so why not :)

Soooo Dondan, what's your timetable like? :)

I'll try it out, should be at my house in a few days :)

I think that my reasoning for the Asus Gene VII is that I know exactly what I'm getting with regards to quality and features, even if I never get to use all the things it's capable of I'll be "secure". With regards to the closed loop cooling it is a bit of a gamble with regards to potential...

@runs2bad: Not far from where I am right now. I have a hard time picking another motherboard that the GENE VII, even if it overkill. I cannot convince myself that hypertreading will make much of a difference once both the i5 and i7 are running 4.4+GHz. I'm still undecided on the CPU...

I'm looking for a PSU to power my new build and I came across the Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W. I seems like a good value proposition at approx 900DKK here in Denmark as an alternative to Corsair og Seasonic PSUs in the 550-660W range. The reviews that I can find of the unit are generally...

The Phanteks Enthoo Evolv is a mATX case that might do it for you, still 41 liters though so its smaller but not small

@Dangman.: I would very much like the PC to be quiet under low workloads (office applications, internet, movies), when playing games I'd settle for "as quiet as possible". I imagine that fanprofiles will go some ways to secure this. With regards to Star Citizen I know that Hyper Treading makes...

Thanks. I'm already at the I5 as I don't think I will gain much from hypertreading, the Gene VII is Z97 so I can overclock as much as I'm comfortable with and I believe the AX760 IS made by Seasonic. I do gather though that I should probably look into another harddrive than the 850 EVO, I...

I'll be picking up a Canon Pixma MG7550 later today, I'll be able to report on it in a few days.

Hi all, It's finally time to build me a new PC, below are my current plans. I'd appreciate reviews and comments on the list. Thanks. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc This i primarily a gaming build (Star Citizen alpha, GTAV and The Witcher 3...

With regards to the NOVA vs M1 I really like the effort being made with the Nova with regards to pushing a potential SLI system into less than 20L. While I think the M1 is a fantastic piece of work, I'll rather have the Nova. Also I Prefer mATX over Mini-ITX but I'm having huge difficulties...

Hi all, I have begun researching parts for a SFF build within the next few months. Now I hope to transition the system to the Kimera Industries Nova once it's available, but until then I plan to build in the Fractal Design Node 304. This obviously limits me to mini-ITX motherboards and...

From my first build in 2001 up to my current (and aging) system I have always used Asus motherboards. My current system is built on an Asus Commando Motherboard and have been running 400FSB / 33% OC on my lowly E6600 since 2007. I continue to be impressed with the board and CPU and when I...

Naaah, the colorscheme is obviously Optimus Prime :)

Thanks for the quick replies both of you, with sfx-l psus pretty much eliminating my main concern about not having full atx psu support, the Nova is shaping up to be a very interesting case :)
