The Setup: 2500K ROG gene Z CM Hyper12+ Corsair 400R The Overclock 4.3GHz @ 1.320V- Stable after Prime 95 testing VRM 350 PLL Disabled The Temps mid to high 50's C under stress I feel like I'm getting too low an overclock for too high a voltage?? I tried 45x and 1.35V and did not boot to windows, i...
Yeah ...I know what you mean! Wish I had the time to be gaming like it was 1999 :P You can get a very decent gaming build for around $900. Im not sure how Important PCIe 3.0 will be anytime soon. Considering current graphics cards can work fine on 8x instead of 16x (as is the case in SLI), maybe fut...
I have to admit, it is the saddest looking thing I've ever seen. However, its surprisingly more natural and comfortable to type on than my Logitech wave. The keys elevate slightly row by row so the qwerty row is easy to reach. I don't think ill be using it for gaming much but makes me think were def...
I recently found an old packard bell 5140W keyboard getting thrown out with some old junk, it has a PS/2 output and a heavy metal back. Keys sound clicky but are hard to remove. Feels like it would be great for gaming but anybody know if its definitely mechanical or what type of key mechanism it use...
If you are not a huge gamer, you would do very well by getting an i5 2500k, an NVIDEA gtx560 (without the Ti) http://techreport.com/articles.x/20957/10 and using the money you save on a nice SATA3 SSD boot drive (Force 3's are good: http://techreport.com/articles.x/21672/14 ) and maybe a better case...
I just built my first system a few days ago, very similarly spec'd to yours. Good choice with the 560 Ti, you wont be disappointed. I went with the ASUS DCII which is 1gb, Link: http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/NVIDIA_Series/ENGTX560_Ti_DCII2DI1GD5/#specifications and ran Shogun2 Total war. It ran...
Hey Thank you for all the info. No kidding! great deals on NCIX, the also have the corsair A70 (push/pull) for $30 and a few good PSU's. I'll definitely be going for the 120 Gb force 3, and maybe the A70 since its the same price as cm h212+ at ncix I noticed your note on the mobo, i think i will go ...
Side Note: I have a terabyte hard disk i can pull from an older pc so Its not included in build, 90 GB should be more than enough to get me started anyways. There are gonna be two things on it: the OS and Battlefield 3
Hello I was hoping to get the opinion of the masses before building this next week, particularly on two issues: 1. If anything is overkill (or bottle-necking) for the purposes of the build 2. If any substitutions to lower cost can be made as I am above budget by $150 at the moment, particularly mobo...
