Hi! I'm looking for two laptops for work. One more high-end for 3d Graphics work, and one mid-tier for coding and game engine work. I'm trying to find hard to hit a balance between mobility and cooling/build strength. But overall reliability is key. A sample config of what I'm looking for: 1) 15inch...
Hey! I have a friend looking for case for these PC parts. (He already bought these so can't be helped with alternatives) He prefers to buy it locally if possible. If everything locally is crap then online is an option. Cooling - Corsair Hydro Series H150i PRO Motherboard- SUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi...
It's ultimately up to what you're used to, and the compromises you're willing to accept. Yeah, thats what has me confused. I'm mostly used to mid/high end gaming desktops. So ideally I'm looking for comparable comfort in terms of browsing, movies etc. (to handle those basic tasks nicely, I'm not lo...
Thanks What do you mean by "older" games? Not of this decade, or even not of this century stuff :D Have a look at this Lenovo 330 with Ryzen5-2500U, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1920x1080 15.6" screen for $500 Here's TR's review of the Ryzen5-2500U I'm a bit rusty on AMD stuff. That should be ...
Hey, I want to get everyday laptop for (multi-tab)browsing/movies/light work. Maybe some old games. But I want to get at least 2~3 years of comfortable use out of it. (I don't care too much about battery time. I do care a bit about weight. Decent screen quality would be nice as well. I don't care ab...
Thanks! I got the Crucial MX 500 - 500GB. I guess even if I have to upgrade to NVMe at some point for some reason, extra 500GB ssd will not hurt and NVMe will cost less.
Hello! What would you recommend for mostly Gaming/Non-HDD intensive work use PC, 512GB Sata SSD or 256GB PCI NVMe ? Am I going to see any real world use benefits from NVMe, is it worth less space? I'm considering between: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Crucial MX500 500GB Samsung 960 EVO Se...
Thanks for the great suggestions! I have a stock cooler for i5 6500. I'll probably upgrade to something like Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO in a month or two. For cards I already have (it was the only one in stock with decent price at that time) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WINDFORCE OC 6G and For GTX 107...
Thanks, yes this is the case. Yes based on mesh filters I think the case manufacturer intended for airflow to come from top two fan slots and front fan slot, and go out of window and back fans. But I'm not sure how good that setup would be.
Hi, What kind of cooling setup would you recommend for this case? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853002&cm_re=DEEPCOOL_TESSERACT-_-11-853-002-_-Product I want to have good cooling for 2 GPUs. (Above PSU) Fan areas http://i.imgur.com/zxmTBKW.png Now I have 3 fans like t...
Thanks! It does seem to be shadows bug, after searching Witcher 3 Shadows bug I came up with this video, that is exactly what happens to me. Though because it happened in Deus Ex as well It felt like some universal bug. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3Q_wDsbSUU Not many solutions for this atm. I h...
Thanks, I ran Kombustor demos but didn't see any artifacts. Though it was a bit hard to tell as these hex lines are more visible against some solid brightly colored surfaces. I'm running Witcher 3 with ultimate settings, everything high + some texture mods. Temps and usage stays bellow 70c/70% This ...
Hello, There is weird hexagonal pattern appearing on certain spot on screen. So far I noticed this on Witcher 3 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided. You can see it on screenshot. http://imgur.com/a/fELE1 Is this because of faulty GPU? Or some driver issue? I Have https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JNUO6BG...
Thanks for suggestions. I'll avoid EVGA then, that's good to know. I'm a little vary of MSI, the only time ever GPU cooler died on me was GTX 560ti with twinforz coolers. Though I understand they could have improved upon it over the years. What about Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1(http://www.newegg.co...
I personally think that there is a high chance of 1070 to be dropped under $350! On Black Friday or later? I bought my setup in March and skipped buying GTX 970 back then to wait for 10x series. I don't think I have patience to wait for another 6~8 months for prices to really drop, but if I can get...
Hello, I want to buy 1060 6gb for i56500/1080p gaming build. ( I never had AMD not too keen on experimenting, 1070 would be worth considering if it drops to ~350$ on black friday sales) Any models with proven defect or any personal recommendations? is it worth putting extra $20~$30 into higher boost...
Thanks for advice. My current build is: Gigabyte LGA1151 GA-H170-Gaming 3 I5 6500 16GB Ram EVGA 650 GQ 1080p and I'm on integrated card atm. Was gonna buy GTX 970 but decided to wait. I play game regularly and would like to play them on high/ultimate settings for next two years or so before upgradin...
Hey, I waited on buying GPU for new pascal series, but I have never bought GPU near launch date, so I was wondering when is the good time to buy one. Will the prices drop a little soon? Are initial models likely to have lot of issues? I'm aiming for GTX 1070, I saw news that ATI might have similar p...
I like Lian Li cases if you're not on a tight budget. Solid aluminum, but most of their good ones are for the mATX format. GPU wise, if you're not desperate maybe you could wait six months on this part? Both AMD and Nvidia are using very old silicon at this point, but they're both expected to roll ...
Thanks guys for the advise I finely got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015CQ8D46?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 For Case I have these options. I have to buy from local store so I can't order online. (I don't live in U.S.) And I really only have budget left fo...
So it's not a good idea to save on MB, overall I just want to optimize the build if I can. I prefer to buy some things later on different paychecks. Maybe I'll wait on SSD or start with 8gb ram and add later, those are easy to upgrade to later.
Thanks, For MB I was actually thinking of going for cheaper ones like the one I posted, since I have no need for extra slots in near future. 2x8gb ram and 1 GTX970 should be more then enough for now, so I was wondering if there is any other downside to those 60~90$ MB's besides few slots? (like thes...
Hello, I'm planning to build a new system in about 3~5 weeks. and being impatient **** I started planning for it in advance. I'm thinking of looking out for parts on sale and buying them meanwhile before I have cash for bulk of the stuff. I could use some advice on what to buy now, what to wait for ...
First link will be very quiet and comes with a backplate, so should be sound. OC is optional, so it can run at stock speeds and voltages. Second link seems to be bone stock, and should still be reasonably quiet even with that smaller cooler. Last option seems decent. I'm hesitant to recommend non-r...
Ok I'm now convinced on getting 4gb version, Right now I'm debating between these three, any recommendations? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125777&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938...
If you can afford the extra $20, grab a 4GB GTX 960 - the extra VRAM will help because games have already been able to use over 2GB of DDR5 at 1080p/ultra settings. 2GB is enough for most things but games are only going to get more demanding and there's always the possibility your next monitor will...
