Spend money on a good unit for $30 more if you are powering that much with it. But, yes it can. It's more like a 380W unit though.Anyone know if a corsair 430W power supply is enough for a
i5 3570K
asrock z77 pro 4
8 gig Corsair Vengeance Ram
A SSD drive
A 1-2 TB HD
a 6850 or 6870.
A little OC on the processer (to 4.0-4.3 ghz)
There's one for real cheap on newegg.
The only thing im concerned with in my setup is my temps. I'm averaging 35c~37c idle using 2600k and Hyper 212+ EVO with push/pull fans. I'm using the thermal paste that came with the evo and monitoring things with Realtemp. If i do a Prime95 stress test i get up to 70c.
It seems like those with a similar setup are reporting 28c-31c idle and 55c on Prime95. I'm not close to that.
Want hardcore gaming then 120hz is the way to go with either benq or asus. If you want pretty colors then someone else will have to recommend, I know nothing of goods screens for that.
Have you tried to buy any hot item on the internet?EVGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least give me 3-5 minutes to sign up a freaking account.
GTX 670 is the card to buy in 25 hours.Thanks. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger soon.
I guess the one catch with the 7950 is that it's about two inches longer than the 5850, so I need to make sure I have legroom (unless you were already taking that into consideration).
I appreciate the help.
Crosspost from Kepler thread:
TigerDirect can go screw itself for bungaling both of my two orders + listing things in stock that they don't have and charging people.Amazon pre-release page for the Galaxy 670.
I'll be staying up Wednesday night trying to get the Gigabyte 670 OC from either newegg or amazon.

Ha! Probably not.
Did you order off of eBay? Mine is supposed to come tommorrow through ups.I'm not sure why NewEgg didn't give me the traditional free 3 day shipping with UPS with my M4 order like they usually do...instead an "Eggsaver 4-7 days," and it's shipping from NJ (where I'm at) and going through the USPS. So basically, it'll probably be slow as shit. Cause it's a Shellshocker deal? Cause the package itself is small? Hope not.
Late birthday present, that's cool I guess. Kind of wanted to hook it up today though.
What's the price point of the 670?

The case doesn't have anything to do with video connection ports. The GPU and/or motherboard houses all of the video connections. If both your GPU and tv support hdmi you should be fine.Just out of curiosity what connection does the GPU have with the HDMI port? And just so Im clear ( I dont want to get my terminology wrong) the HDMI port that allows me to hook my pc up to my tv. I mean wouldnt the case have to have the port already built into it?

Using a P8Z77-V Pro. No issues yet. Well, besides the first one having bent pins and having to be replaced. Running it with a 3770k. Haven't tried OC quite yet though.
Anyone have a recommendation for an aftermarket cooler to use with a 670?
Not all motherboards and CPUs support integrated video. At least for my PC (core i5 2500), my CPU has integrated graphics but my motherboard doesn't support this feature so I connect my monitor to my video card.Correct me if I'm wrong please but doesn't the motherboard support it? I mean, at least the HDMI out port to the monitor or TV or whatever.
Yeah it was a bitch. I didn't even realize when I was putting it together. The board is nice though, a ton of features.Building my system this weekend with a P8z77-V, hoping I don't a have a dud. Nothing more annoying than having to RMA a mobo :/

·feist·;37682529 said:1-Yes. 2-Yes, as a PhysX card, though I wouldn't bother. In some instances, it can hamper performance (particularly with non-reference cards running cheaper, slower memory). I'd sell the 430, pick up a nice replacement, OC it, and make sure the PCB is properly cooled.
I just sent my P8Z77-V Deluxe back to Amazon. I believe it was causing an issue with my RAM when OC'ing. I got a second one from Newegg that I am going to try tonight. The reason I think it was my mobo and not my RAM is because I ran fine at stock, but when I OCed it would blue screen and reboot no matter which Kit I was using. Very unlikely to have two failing RAM kits.
I must say, I am nervous.
Thanks! One last question, is it worth it for me to buy a SSD? I noticed that most people use it to boot their OS faster upon start up and free up a bit more HDD space. Should I even bother if I don't really care about that stuff?

Sorry to hear that. That's why I usually get my motherboards from my local Microcenter. I went with Newegg this time for some reason :/
The only I'm regretting is not having a modular Power supply. I hate cable management with a passion.
Probably my favorite part of my new build. Power button > sc2 in like 20 seconds.Thanks! One last question, is it worth it for me to buy a SSD?

UPS 3 day died a long time ago dude.I'm not sure why NewEgg didn't give me the traditional free 3 day shipping with UPS with my M4 order like they usually do...instead an "Eggsaver 4-7 days," and it's shipping from NJ (where I'm at) and going through the USPS.

I believe TigerDirect will be fine. Just order on the phone or on chat to make sure no problems pop up.Had a rude awakening lately, I thought all you need to buy from newegg if you were outside the US was an American address (which I arranged with my local courier company) since they don't ship internationally, but apparently they want a US credit card as well. Ended up buying from amazon anyway and thank god I found what I wanted.
Does anyone one know PC hardware websites that accept international CC besides amazon ?
I heard about TigerDirect, don't know if they accept non US CCs but anything else ?
NP. The i3 2120 system is more than enough for any Blizzard or Source game at 1080p, 60fps.just wanna pop in and say thank you to everyone contributing/supporting the New PC OT, I've had this page subbed for a while, and when a buddy of mine needed help for D3, I was able to just pull this up and quote him some basic price points. Thanks to all who keep this updated, this is a fantastic resource.
Pretty sure same memory size, but honestly I have not dabbled nearly enough into this.SLI Question:
I have a 2.5gb 570. If I want to SLI, do I need another 2.5gb 570, or would I be able to SLI and 2 570s (and still use the 2.5gb of the main card)?
Shouldn't need an aftermarket for the 670 imo, but we will see. Arctic probably has some $50 cooler to sell you.Using a P8Z77-V Pro. No issues yet. Well, besides the first one having bent pins and having to be replaced. Running it with a 3770k. Haven't tried OC quite yet though.

Amazon has dropped the price on their warehouse offerings to 254.09. Been watching this periodically for a while to see if I can snag a deal. Just ordered one. If it's got some defect, I've got amazon's 30 day return policy. Worth the hassle.
I expect to be dazzled, people. If 120hz isn't the bee's knees, people will be called out
EDIT: Somebody snagged the extra one that was left over. Gone.
It' is the bees knees for any fast paced gaming. If all you want is sc2, wow, dota2, my little pony, then it's not going to do anything for you.
The 350W should be ok with that. HDDs add about 10W each load, 3W idle I want to say.I'm looking at building a new PC and re-using an Antec Mini P180 case that currently houses a Windows Home Server. The WHS will be moved to a case with more HDD bays (probably an Fractal R3) but i worry about its power requirements.
It currently has a 350W PSU for the following specs:
- Intel E5200 (65W TDP)
- Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L iG31
- 2x1GB DDR2 800mhz
- 5 Hard Drives
Is 350W enough for that? what about with 8 HDD's?
For the new build, does anyone have a recommendation for a mATX Z77 board?
Also how big a PSU should i get for the following specs?
- Ivybridge i5 3570k
- Motherboard
- 4x4GB DDR3 1600mhz
- Intel 520 120GB SSD
- 500GB HDD
- GTX 670
- 2x Bluray Drives
Why would there be anything wrong with copy pasting the OP build? tsktsk.Do you guys see anything wrong with this? I am trying to get back into PC gaming on a budget since I just had a kid.
thanks guys.
A GT 520 gaming PC. Jesus christ. Upgrading to a 440? Clearly I've been thinking giving too much credit to people who buy this shit.I don't feel like building my own so I've been trying to find some good pre-made ones, any suggestions? ... What about this one, if I replace the GPU with say a Sapphire 7850 would it run BF3 1080p Max settings 60fps? - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005TJKGTM/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I'd see if you can find a Samsung F3 500GB instead of the WD Blue.
UPS 3 day died a long time ago dude.
On most of the promotional items I buy I get 4-7 egg saver. It used to be just about everything was UPS 3 day iirc.?
I have something in my cart right now that has "UPS Guaranteed 3 Day -- $0.00" as the default delivery option...
