Hot Dog Day #82 posted:Thanks so much for the prompt response, I appreciate it! My only question is: do you think that motherboard would be able to support whatever video card comes out a year or two from now if I change my mind and decide I want to try out VR? I plan on passing on it for now since none of the games/tech demos appeal to me outside of Elite Dangerous, and I don't want to be paying 800 bucks to play one computer game. But by 2017 or 2018 maybe my tune will change! You see people running brand new cards on 4-5 year old motherboards. Barring some radical changes (unlikely), if it fits in the PCI-e slot, it'll work.

crazyfish posted:So i'm looking to put together a new gaming PC after not owning one since Ivy Bridge and I've got a couple of potentially dumb questions. I generally keep up with CPUs and storage (as they're relevant to my job) but I'm way out of the loop on video cards, monitors, cases and even Windows (I haven't run Windows as my primary OS since my previous Ivy Bridge desktop died). 1). Pretty much. Maybe raise the voltage if it isn't stable at whatever multiplier. Though newer BIOSes even have a "PRESS THIS TO OVERCLOCK" button that bumps it up 400-500 Mhz without a hassle. 2). Not really, but you CAN buy an EVGA graphics card now and use their Step-up program to upgrade to the new stuff when it comes out, and just pay the difference.

Upgraded you to an i7 because photoshop could really use the hyperthreading. 2. The old motherboard wasn't compatible with DDR4 memory (which Skylake requires) for some reason. I got you one that is. 3. 16 GB of DDR4 memory because Photoshop can be quite the memory hog at times. 4. A good CPU cooler because the 6700k doesn't come with a stock cooler. This can handle a decent overclock too if you so desire. 5. Upgraded your video card to something than can handle 1080p much better. Note, Nvidia announced their new graphics cards literally yesterday, so I suggest this EVGA card and use their Step-Up program to upgrade to the next gen for cheap (if you so desire). 6. Swapped out your PSU for a cheaper and better one. 7. If your goal is GTA5 @ 60fps there's not much point in getting a 144Hz monitor. I downgraded you to a 60Hz IPS one to keep everything under-budget.

Outside of very heavy overclocking, air>water cooling as far as price/performance goes. This cooler can match 240mm AIOs and is cheaper too. It's one of the best coolers on the market if you don't mind the ugly looking fans. It's pretty big, so you might have to remove that side fan on the case. 2. The cooler listed comes with good enough paste, you don't need to buy any separately. 3. Swapped out your SSD for a better one. PNYs are garbage with high failure rates. 850 EVOs are faster and waaaay more reliable, and you won't miss the extra capacity if you manage your storage well. 4. Got you a better PSU. EVGA NEXs aren't great compared to the GS or G2 lines. Plus, 750w is kinda overkill for a single GPU.

The Sabertooth motherboard is showing as $299.99 (vs $337.99 for the ROG) for me. Maybe because I have Amazon prime? You can still go with the ROG anyway, it's not that much more expensive. Plus, it lets you use faster memory and has stuff like built in wi-fi. The monitor isn't IPS, but it DOES have really low latency and 144Hz.

A 1080 is waaaaaaaay overkill for 1080p@60FPS gaming, so I dropped you down the much cheaper RX 480. It'll be more than enough for any modern game at that resolution. 3. Full tower cases are generally more trouble than their worth, so gave you a very good mid-tower.

I don't think he's going to overclock it or anything, just looking to get a little extra bang for his buck if possible. Founders editions should be avoided because they're at $100 premium for basically nothing. Otherwise EVGA, MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, and Zotac are all good choices. The top performing ones are the ASUS Strix and the Zotac Amp! Extreme, but they're appropriately pricey and huge.

I also notice that the thread never recommends them, but rather an SSD and HDD setup, which makes me think the answer is no. If you mean Hybrid Drives, I think the op mentions that you can just treat them as regular HDDs with a really big cache. So no, they're not worth the extra cost.

My ancient computer (2500K, 6800) plays the game beautifully at 1440p, but I can't stream without the video getting choppy. You'd actually get more mileage out of getting a better CPU like an i7-6700k since streaming and video encoding can benefit from the extra cpu threads. Though a GPU upgrade wouldn't hurt either, and a 1060 is more than enough for League.

Apart from getting a good CPU cooler for it, should I get some extra case fans for it? I'm getting a borderline basic graphics card most likely (I'd be using integrated for graphics other than the CPU doesn't have integrated graphics) and I don't plan on overclocking. The only reason I'm semi-worried is that the CPU does have a 140 W TDP. If you're not overclocking, something like a Cryorig H7, or a Hyper 212 Evo, would be fine.

Vidaeus posted:So I'm looking to upgrade from my i5-2500k with Geforce 980 build which has served me faithfully for many years. Getting a bit long in the tooth for games. I'm aiming for something like luxury overclocker build from the OP as I have a 30" 2560x1600 monitor and like my games shiny: Maximus boards have better on-board sound, built-in wifi, fancy things for Overclocking, lots of fan headers, and look pretty. It's up to you if you think that's worth the extra +$100.

Lehugo posted:I've finally accepted that I need a new pc but it's been a few years since I actually knew anything about this stuff. Got most of the things below through this thread but I really have no idea about what sort of case to buy. Size isn't much of an issue for me but minimal noise would be nice. I use a Cryorig H7 and it's silent even at load, it's pretty much the best cooler at that price point. Everything else looks fine.
