I updated the list with some cheaper parts to get it under $800. No more SSD. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/mastermike707/saved/4qCt Probably gonna purchase this later today if it all looks OK.

Games will probably be Path of Exile, World of Warcraft, Dota 2, Titanfall, Hearthstone, Mass Effect 3, Bioshock Infinite both of them, Civilization 5, Civilization Beyond Earth, Assasin's Creed 4.

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?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $800 hard budget 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. Mesa, Arizona 4) What exact parts do you...

Core i7 EE 980X 24GB of DDR3 1333 RAM 240GB Samsung Pro SSD 1.8 TB Raid Asus Rampage III formula Antec 1200 case Silverstone 1500W power supply

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...

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...

Thanks so much for that link, I can look through all of the boards to find a good OCer. Will look through the list and post an update later.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Yes, that is correct.in

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)...

Thanks guys. Just picked up a Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin. I'm sure she will be happy.

Mom wants an illuminated keyboard. Shes not a gamer. What do you recommend that won't break the bank <$60?

That just sounds defective. Cisco sounds like they owe you a refund. Was it the v1 or v2? Thanks for the input.

Hey guys, I recently had the wireless go out on my Buffalo WHR-G54S flashed with DD-WRT. The thing was a rock, I would run multiple LAN and WLAN clients, VoIP, torrenting and had 0 problems. Now I have a shitty $25 Monoprice N router holding me over that needs to be rebooted if it even smells...

NCIX has the OCZ RevoDrive 230GB PCIe X4 SandForce SF-1200 for $270 - $80 rebate = $190. I am not an expert on SSDs, but this seems like a good deal for this drive. What kind of problems are expected on a drive like this?

If you actively manage your storage and can keep it under 256GB, I recommend getting another SSD instead of the hard drive.

Alright since nobody has responded, here is what I have picked out: Core i5-2500k + Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB - $251 Cooler Master Hyper 212+ - $29.99 ASROCK P67 PRO3 - $99 Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 - $45 - $8 Promo = $37 + $4.84 Shipping Total = $415.79 Mostly looking at what...

PSU is extremely old and low wattage. I was just gonna use the 4850 for now since I am running a phenom 1 with 2GB of ram. EDIT: I live in Mesa, Arizona. There is a fry's electronics I can drive to. No microcenter though. I plan on upgrading the video card in about a year, probably spend...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Playing SW:TOR, want it to last around 5 years. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $400 3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible. Arizona 4) What...

I was planning to overclock and I got right around 800-850W after I added all the specifics in with 30% capacitor aging ( I want it to work for a long time). So I newegged 850W PS and came across this: Antec CP-850 850W Continuous Power CPX-$115 Any other suggestions? Is the split 12V rails a...

I recently purchased a computer from a friend of a friend with the following specifications: Core i7 980X 24GB of RAM ASUS Rampage III HD5970 Black Edition 100GB SSD ~5 HDDs He has a Silverstone ST1500 in it. This PSU seems like complete overkill to me. So I was thinking of selling the PSU...

More like capitalists. We are currently utilizing socialist monopolies. ( I know you were being facetious)

Hello, I am currently running my the rig in my signature, but my graphics card is dying and I can only really run one of my 4850's without the other one overheating (one of the fans died). It's way past my warranty so I am looking to buy some new cards for multi-monitor gaming. My budget is...

Which one do you feel is the best bang-for-buck? I am looking for when I get an i5-2500k, would like to OC to 4.2+. I have an Antec 1200 so I can do anything that is big and clunky. Here is the list I saw on slickdeals: Prices after discount Xigmatek Balder HDT CPU Cooler $19 after $20...

My current motherboard is the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P, and I am running the rig in my signature. I am wondering if buying two XFX 5850s will cause my CPU to become a bottleneck?

My build still has a lot of unknowns, need more research. Any advice would be great! i5-2500K $215.00 Mobo (undecided) $150.00 8GB G.Skill RAM 1333 (the one on Slickdeals) $75.00 Cooler (Not sure what to go for here) $40.00 XFX 6950+BIOS upgrade $310.00 Power Supply (Still need to figure this...

What happens in a few weeks Sandy Bridge? We still don't know the impact of it right? Or are there leaked benches and its here to make that core i5 look like a pentium 4?

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Gaming on latest games 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Within $100 of $800 3) Where do you live? Mesa, AZ 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word...

Hmm, I think I may just sit and wait a bit until the tech matures a bit more before I spend any money. Thanks for your help!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358 - GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard My budget is approx $400 and under. Looking for best bang for buck.

Hello everyone, I currently am sporting the rig in my signature, my 4850x2 is kinda crappy, its got a broken fan, so I have one jerry-rigged over it and the other fan doesn't move as much air as I would like. I also recently grabbed two monitors for $135 (I couldn't help myself). I currently...

I want so that I can haz teh mobo.

One is a CM 600W and the other is a Apevia 520W. Wow that is a nice deal. Thanks! Can my PSU's run that? I have old AMD Athlon X2's in both cases and I am pretty sure they eat 85 or less watts.

I want to upgrade them because I have friends that come over and use those computers and I would like them to be able to run Starcraft 2 on low settings with decent framerates. They have screens of resolution approx. 1280x1024. Yes I am open to buying used provided they have enough life left...
