Personal Introduction
Hello Everyone! I'd like to start off by introducing myself. My name is Nathan, better known on Instagram as @MapleSyrupMods and I'm a PC Builder based out of Canada. I've been building PCs for the last 17 years, but only recently started...
Few things for sale. I have started to build my Ryzen system, so my old system is being parted out.

AMD Financial Analyst Day Raja Koduri Presentation

Looking to buy a copy of The Divison for Steam. NVIDIA is having a deal where you get the game for free with purchase; maybe someone would like to sell theirs. Thanks.
I'm in need of a monitor upgrade right now and can't decide whether or not its worth the additional $400 CAD to purchase the new Asus PG279Q over the much cheaper Acer XB270U. From what I understand is:
1.) Both use the same panel aside from the Asus being overclockable to 165hz
2.) Both...
Decided to go with the 6700K over the 5820/X99 setup so now I need a feature rich motherboard and I've narrowed it down to the two.
Asus Z170 Deluxe:
-Onboard Wifi. This is needed for me. I would prefer not to use an extra PCIE card in my setup. The Pro and A model's do not have this so its...
Current system in signature
I am looking at either going with the 6700K or the 5820K. I do mostly gaming and am having a hard time deciding. I understand the 5820K has older architecture but the 2 extra cores may be useful down the road as well as quad channel DDR4 and the extra PCIE lanes. I...
I am looking to upgrade my system from the current config that's in my signature, to a 5820k and Asus X99. There is the Pro, Deluxe and regular model and am wondering which would be best for my setup? I am currently using a PCIE wireless card as its required so I'm leaning towards the Deluxe...
As you can see in my signature, I am currently running this system with a LG 24" Ultrawide 1080p monitor and its a waste of a system. I am looking at a 144hz 1440p Ultrawide with GSYNC. What is my best option? I have seen offerings from both Acer and Asus, some of which haven't been released yet...
I'm looking into an AIO cooling system so that I am able to overclock my 4690K processor. I currently have no intention of overclocking the GPU's in the near future so my set up would most likely change which is why am looking at an AIO.
Two units but I am looking at are the EK predator 240...
I apologize for the fact that there are probably hundreds of posts about this topic, but I am looking for the right recommendation for my system. I am currently running a LG 21:9 1080p monitor powered by SLI 980 Ti. With my current config, the 980 Ti's are complete overkill and would like to...
Took me to our local computer store and bought me a second 980TI as a 30th birthday gift. Needless to say, I'm super excited. With that being said, I currently have a 1080p monitor and am looking at going into 4k this fall, but first a few questions.
1.) Being completely serious, is 980TI SLI...
What are my options for a AIO for the EVGA 4995 KR Model 980Ti? I like the EVGA Hydro solution, but appears only to work with the reference cooler cards. Is the board at least on the 4995 KR reference?
Due to the 3.5GB VRAM issue with the 970 and the uncertainty/future of what DX12 will really provide, I ended up going with a EVGA 980Ti SC to make sure I can play the latest for a while. However, my question is how does the 980TI and 970 SLI perform head to head in real life games, vs a...
With so many variants of the 980 TI out, I'm unsure which one to get. Do I get the reference cooler or not? I do plan to SLI in the future and understand that the reference cooler was designed with SLI in mind for space. I originally wanted be Asus Strix model, but that is sold out everywhere...
Purchased my new build in April 15 with the original intent to SLI my MSI GTX 970. With the new 980Ti coming out, I have no reconsidered what would be the best option for me. I do not plan on running 4k anytime soon. Next upgrade this year would probably be to 1440p.
1.) Sell my existing...
Just finishing up my new rig and am contemplating the idea of running two 240GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD in Raid 0. The only thing I plan to install on these drives is the main game as well as OS. All other stuff if on a backup drive. Would I notice any performance increase by running two SSD in Raid...
I'm looking for a wireless card to add to my new desktop setup. I own an Asus Maximus VII Hero and only slot being used is for my MSI GTX 970 Gaming G4. I am looking at the ASUS PCE-N15. Would this be a decent card as well as fit in my rig? I know a wired setup is probably better, but where the...
Well, its been at least 8 years since my last PC build - I decided to get back into it and ordered it today :D Here is the complete PC:
Case - Antec Eleven Hundred V2
CPU - Intel i5 4690k Devils Canyon LGA 1150 Unlocked
Motherboard - Asus Maximus VII Hero
Video Card - MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G...
Hello. I am in the middle of building a brand new PC and am looking to decide between these two boards: I will be using a i5 4690k which I will overclock as well as a MSI GTX 970 Gaming G4 card along with 2x4 Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR3-1866. Which board would provide:
-best...
Looking to purchase a GTX 970 for my new setup. There are so many options out there and having not owned a gaming right in many years, I have a lot to re-learn. From what I have gathered from other forum posts and reviews, the MSI and ASUS appear to be the most solid, with the Gigabyte offering...
Hello everyone. Been on these forums for a LONG time, had some good builds back in the day, but ultimately been out of the PC world for quite some time. My main reason at the time for leaving was it was becoming too expensive of a hobby trying to stay at the top - it probably still is. As I've...
I'm looking to replace the 320GB HDD that came with the laptop to a SSD. I am using a 2TB WD external drive as a backup/storage solution for Movies/Pictures/Music/Documents so I now am stuck with the following questions. Keep in mind that I may want to run a dual boot with Windows 8 down the...
I currently have a computer that has 512mb stick of PC3200 DDR Dual Channel Ram. I am looking to get a set of 2x1gb ram and NOT looking to overclock. New egg has these following options for me. Keep in mind I am trying to keep this in buget, so unless you have another option that isnt $50+...
Hi all. This is my current network. It is a basic network as you can tell.
I have the following questions:
1.) What can I do to improve/make my network better.
2.) Should I get rid of the wireless and go wired?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT 1:
I forgot to include, PC2 is used for FTP and...
Hello. I am currently using a D-Link DI-624 router connected to two DWL-G520 wireless cards. My router is plain and simply a piece of garbage ( For reasons I don't want to get in to ) so I'm looking for a new one. I need it to follow these guidelines:
-It cannot be another D-Link. I have given...
I would like to make a new setup, but need a little help as I don't know too much about RAID etc. I want to use one HDD for installed os, programs, games, and have the other's for Media, Music, Backups etc. What should I go with and should I use raid or not...too many questions.
Anyone that...
I currently am running a DLink DI-624 Revision C Router and wireless DLink G520 cards in the computers. I have been getting nothing but problems with the router constantly resetting itself, and have come to the conclusion that I am going to get a different one. But before I do, I have a few...
Hi everyone,
I have for sale a Brand New Still In Box Logitech G5 mouse and Logitech G15 Keyboard. These have been sitting in box since the day I bought them a month ago. They have only been taken out of the box to plug into the USB to make sure that they powered up, then put back. Not even...
I am currently buying everything for my new computer in advance so that all I have to do is wait for the Processor (Socket AM2) and Motherboard. Can I buy DDR2 for it already or will this be a different type when AMD releases the new socket?
Thanks in advance
I'm looking for a new mousepad to accompany my new Logitech G5 mouse. I want to know in your guys minds, what is the best mousepad out right now and why? I will base my decision on that. I guess as of right now a few that are in mind are:
Razer eXact Mat
Razer Mantis
fUNC 1030
IceMat
Im debating whether or not to go for the X2 4400 right now or wait for the Socket M2's to come out. What do you guys think. I want the latest technology too, doesnt have to be the best, but the latest.
What are the new socket M2's that are comming out real soon different from the Socket 939. I see alot of other people waiting for these but I didnt find any info on what the difference is. If someone could shed some light on this topic for me please, I would appreciate that.
