Thankfully its not health related. All I need is a monitor, mobo and cpu which is what makes it hurt more than it should. Im basically right there trying to reach the finish lineNo health issues, I hope...

Still waiting myself for that Samsung SSD news. It must come soon with the low prices of the EVO now, but damn, it is taking long.

20nm leaks are showing up. AMD leaks are from what-the-fuck tech, so it's totally unreliable. But for Nvidia:

Oh man, at that point I'd just pick up an old cpu/mobo combo and game on my TV

I should show you what I've been thinking of working on...
That still has a window. I'm sorry, I'll never consider a window in a case not silly. It's second only to LED light strips. If people like it, more power to them, but I'll stick with the minimalist black box
Well, that's not completely true, the In Win 904 almost convinced me that glass has a place in case design. But more if the PC is an objet d'art and not a workstation.
Wanna fight bruh?
Windows let you see into the soul of the machine you've built by hand. Plus when non pc nerds come over they are always amazed.

My current specs are :
I5 4670K @ 3.4
4 GB DDR3 1333mhz
ati 6850
Ocz sealthxstream 600W
And obviously this vga isnt doing any favors to the bottleneck.
I was looking for a nice replacement for it, and in the end i am between the nvidia 770, and ati 280X. What do you guys think?

Depends on whether or not you'd use Shadowplay and G-Sync. If not, I'd go for a 280X around $280-290. If so, go for the 770. Overclock your CPU too.
If this leak is true, the GTX 880 will be their mid range Maxwell part, just as I thought. Kepler all over again.

I mean we could all see this coming, but it still hurts. I wonder if it will outperform the 780 Ti as well as having new hardware features, that would be swell.RodrigoDorta
Member
Thanks, i do not plan on using shadowplay and g-sync tough. I recently changed my case to an Commander MS-II and i am afraid that an 280X will not fit well, but according to specifications the 280x is about 12 inches long and my case will support up to 14.
And what CPU cooler do you recommend for the processor? I thought about overclock it but i am still with my stock cooler solution.
Well I hope the 870 is Kepler all over again as well, cuz the 670 is still an awesome card.
The stuff in the OP is all good.
Yeah, I'm sure it will. It just won't be this giant leap that people are expecting from bygone eras.FFS
Serious.

Thanks again. I think i will go with the 280X, what upsets me is that i am paying 629$ for it, since i live in Brazil. That kind of sucks seeing the real MSRP everybody in the USA pays. oh well.

jesus christ man, can you get someone to buy and ship it to you from the Land of the Free?
How much is the 770 by comparison? If the same price or cheaper, go with the 770.
IF we assume the leaked chart is accurate, that card will launch first to try and draw users since it looks like it beats the 780, then later a "full" 880 TI will launch. A minimal reduction in power draw and a slight boost in transistor count. I had more hopes for 20nm, maybe it's just a slightly modified 28nm part? A 256-bit bus on a 20nm chip doesn't make sense.

Seems true 2 me. If this is an updated 680, the specs match the jump from the 650 to the 750Ti. Keep bus width the same, but beef up the core. It probably has quite a lot of cache on-die, like the 750Ti does in relation to the 650. So performance will belie the 256-bit bus.
Power consumption went up 30 watts but that's nothing imo. It's going to be twice as fast. So 30% faster than the 780Ti. Not a bad jump.

I purchased an SSD, was thinking of just cloning my current hd/windows install to it. Are there any downsides to this versus a fresh install?
GAF build? I got some parts lying around....

Anyone know if the win8 reddit discount works for peeps outside US? Could save 50 pounds.

Is there any general consensus on the best 140mm fans? I installed my system into a Corsair 330r and i am loving the 140mm fan on the front but will be OC'ing soon and will need a 2nd fan. Thanks!
Want a Z77X-UP7? No one wants to buy it. I even tried giving it to Haz for free, and he turned it down.
Shouldn't need a second fan in the front for that. But, Corsair AF140 is pretty good. BGears Blaster is better, but louder too.
For free? Sure. We want to build a giveaway build.

Ah! Thanks for the headsup mkenyon, you are a gentleman and a scholar.
Well, in all seriousness - Did we want to all collab on a gaf give way build?
My initial idea was to put together the baseline 'cheap' OP build. Bench it and have those benches available when people ask for 'how good is this anyway'. And once that was done, give the computer to a needy gaffer.
But then we got pregnant

There's no mechanism in Origin to allow different games in different locations. If you want to move all your Origin games, there's a straightforward procedure that works, but to move Titanfall alone I'd look into using the Windows command mklink.
For example: mklink /d C:\<old titanfall directory> D:\<new titanfall directory>

I could use a new Z77 board. In fact Im in the process of ebaying a used one. If its free I wouldnt mind it.
My cheapass Asrock Pro 4 (never buying Asrock anymore), has a broken front headphone connector, and with the updated bios i installed, I can no longer get into the bios anymore.
So i have to use software to overclock, and i cant adjust seetings anymore.
Hope everything is okay, hang in there!

Yea, it's really tempting to buy an EVO, but I want to see what Samsung has new.
If this build ends up not requiring my motherboard, I'll let you know.
Yep.
SSD fast is SSD fast. C'mon now.
Dunno, I always get the feeling everyone loads in at the same time. Honestly Titanfall is one of the few games where I think having a SSD is pointless.

With that said, would Origin have a problem looking at two different directories for games?

But I want faster!!!!!
Cool thanks.
Ya i got 4 different SSDs. As long as its reliable, it really doesnt matter how fast.
It depends on why it is saying it is low heath.
Is it due to the amount of writes you have made? is it because of bad blocks? uncorrectable errors? ect.

I have a 400r case I could kick in...
Just bought an Air 540 and moved everything over a few days ago...Absolutely in love wit this case. That back chamber makes wire management SO easy. I've never had a build look this good! I can't recommend it highly enough.
Also bought a fan controller....wow, what a difference as far as noise reduction. It's pretty much dead silent with the fans all turned down to 40%...and the difference in temps is only 2 degrees when I ran a quick IBT test. For like 30 bucks it's the best investment in quiet computing I've made.

I'm switching from consoles to PC for the foreseeable future. Just ordered this SSD. Never had one before, so I'm excited.
Question, though. I have an okay gaming rig that I got a few years ago. It has a 570 GPU and an i5 2500K CPU with 8GB RAM. I don't know what to upgrade. I'm leaning towards my GPU as I can give my brother my GPU, which he desperately needs. Any tips/advice? My PC will be my primary gaming device from [insert date I get new parts], so I do want it to last. I'm looking to spend about $300 on a GPU, if I go that route.
Edit: Holy shit I just read the title. :lol

Programs like SSD life should tell you why it says that.
