Hi guys. This rig is for gaming and web surfing
Here is what I have so far based on some recent posts
Fractal Design Define R4 with Window (NE)
Intel Core i5 4690K LGA 1150 3.5 GHz Processor (MC)
Cooler Master Seidon 120V liquid CPU cooler (MC)
SAPPHIRE 100363-4L Radeon R9 280X 3GB...
I'm torn now between the yoga 13 and the surface pro. Leaning towards the surface pro due to the price mainly and the pen it comes with. My only concern is the battery life and I would've preferred to get win 7 on it but it seems like I'm stuck with win 8.
I actually would like the type cover because I'd like to use it as a normal laptop too, writing papers, powerpoint, etc. GPU is not required at all, don't plan on playing any games. The display on the surface pro seems perfect for what I need and getting more interested in this. I've heard the...
Well I'm actually looking for a laptop. I'd like to use it to watch videos, etc. I have checkout out the pro but not a fan of that keyboard, I would have to get the touch cover. Do you have a link to this deal?
Hey guys
So I'm looking for a lightweight laptop for college I can move around easily and has some decent power to it. Mainly just microsoft office use and use it to take notes in class. I'd love to find something like this less than $1k and if it can be a tablet hybrid that would be even...
How did you go about doing this? Just upped the multiplyer in the bios or did you change anything else? I'm looking to do the same thing and I don't wanna mess with the voltage.
Not at all....plus you can remove them if you want.
Very true, it is pretty wide but I like the added room it gives you to route the cable in the back.
I wish the front door would swing the other way.
I recently build a new gaming system with the help of everyone here. Everything is running well and I have ran prime95 and furmark to test everything out. CPU never goes above 55c and video card never above 60c.
I have a total of 5 fans currently in the case. The case is the fractal r4 with one...
So I just installed the 212+. Is it normal for the heat sink to move just a little bit? I've tightened down the 4 screws but I can still nudge it a bit by hand. Just wondering if this was normal.
Yeah I'm gonna see how the SP120 do with it first. I'll go full speed and run Prime95 then back them down to 7V and watch temperature. That's what I got it for based on the reviews, $20 from newegg.
Just wanted to know you guys' experience if anyone has done this. I plan on putting two high performance sp120 on the hyper 212+ with push pull config. I'm taking the fan that come with the 212+ and putting it in the back.
I plan on doing some overclocking but not at first so I'll be using...
Sorry guys, I was locked out of my account for some reason.
You were right, I ended up getting the 3570k with the mobo deal at MC. As for the graphics card, I got the Sapphire 7950-2L right before newegg jacked up the price like $40 bucks so that was lucky. Link
I ended up buying the HP27xi...
Thanks for all the help guys. Here is my final build. Please take a look one last time before I order everything.
Fractal Design Define R4 with Window $119.99 (MC)
Intel Core i7 3770K LGA 1155 Processor $230.00 (MC)
SAPPHIRE 100352-2L Radeon HD 7950...
Sorry I meant to link to a 7950. Why do you think I need the higher resolution im curious? Yeah I can compromise and get the 23" thanks. My other worry is what about the MOBO since I want to get the intel 3770 and the 7950? Will the current one that I have picked still work?
Around 250 but I was looking at this one. Seems pretty good.

Edit: Do you guys think its worth upgrading to the 3770? I plan on eventually having two graphics cards and don't want the processor to be a bottleneck but I'm not sure.
I think I can also squeeze this in my budget but I'm not...
