Should I upgrade from a GTX 680 to an Asus R9 290 4GB? (Amazon link) I'm playing in 1440p and my 680 is struggling with that resolution (2gb) with newer games. It looks like I'll be out of pocket $150 after selling my 680 so its not a huge investment. Are the new cards coming out in the next month or two?
There are summer rumors for both AMD and Nvidia, no idea if they are legit. I broke down and bought now.

Nope. The gold rush is over.

At this point I don't think we will see new GPUs until September/August. Just go for it. Or alternatively you could get a 780 and get 3 months of step up from EVGA
Holy shit look at these deals (EDIT: if you have a 2011 mobo):
i7 4820K for $ 269.99 @ Micro Center and the same CPU with promo code EMCPEHG29 for $299 @ NewEgg
i7 4820K for $ 269.99 @ Micro Center and the same CPU with promo code EMCPEHG29 for $299 @ NewEgg
Bullet points in the OP are for your old build and state your budget and what you want, etc.That's what I thought. I have no real interest in overclocking or anything like that, so the K doesn't sound like it's going to offer too much of an advantage. A lot of this comes down to stock availability. I can go down and get the 4770 right now, but the 4670K and 4770K are order-in stock. I'm impatient.
My current CPU is i5 750 @ 2.60GHz, for the record.
Even if you have no interest in overclocking it means you'll be getting a 33%+ performance boost on an 8 thread CPU which at the rate of shitty improvement will probably last you at least 4 years.

but is there any reason why i'd have a 2011 mobo?
Too much money or you actually use your computer for productive reasons.

Ah. Thanks. I couldn't see anything in the OP but I'm possibly blind. Anyway, ended up getting a 4790 because they had them on special for this weekend only. Hopefully, that'll last me for a few good years.
So my new PC went into sleep mode last night (fell asleep watching some youtube) and it wouldn't wake up. I reset it and now it's not displaying anything on my TV. I have work soon so i can't figure it out just yet but thought I'd post to see if it going sleep mode may have caused an issue. OS is Windows 7 on an SSD if that matters.
i need affordable 24" monitor, up to 150 in price on Amazon:

Any recommendations? There are simply too many to chose... built in crappy speakers are required.

Well, you could try another utility to reset the GPU clock (inspector, afterburner), or does this only happen when you load Precision?

We started with drinking tonight. After careful consideration, we decided avoiding a ban was for the best. We'll start tomorrow
That means so very little.

That hardly means anything. Hell most of the time its equivalent to 400% usage total. Lots of games dabble into extra cores, doesn't mean squat. Notice how most of the time 1 real core will be at 70~ and the HT will be at 30~

That VRAM usage is scary though, and ultra textures drive it over the top even on a 780 (confirmed reports of stuttering). It's not necessary, of course, to use the ultra textures (video taker isn't and still looks great) but at the high-end, it's starting to get a bit tight. The worst part is that 780 isn't really struggling at all to process it all, just to find space to store it. Guess downsampling Watch Dogs is a bit out of the question, even with SLI 780 Tis?
Blech.
Most engines nowadays will stream different textures in depending on the VRAM available. Don't look at system usage to determine anything.
I know that, I'm referring more to the stuttering/freezing people are reporting when pushing the texture quality up.
Like this
Some are saying disabling vsync solves the issue, though, which sounds more plausible, but how would textures cause issues with vsync to become apparent?
Edit: Better Video

Ok, guys, while i don't use my PC for gaming this looked like the right place to ask, and besides i only trust Gaf.
I'm looking to upgrade my Ram, and i would like to do that without throwing my 6GB's out of the window.
Possible ? Recommended ? or should i just buy new sticks ?
and who said ram is cheap these days ? it fucking isn't !
Anyway, this is what i got atm
Intel Core i7 940 @ 2.93GHz
6,00GB Triple Channel DDR3 @ 534 MHz (8-8-8-20)
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P6T WS PRO (LGA1366)
Ram detail:
Memory slots
Total memory slots 6
Used memory slots 3
Free memory slots 3
Memory
Type DDR3
Size 6144 MBytes
Channels # Triple
DRAM Frequency 534,5 MHz
CAS# Latency (CL) 8 clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay (tRCD) 8 clocks
RAS# Precharge (tRP) 8 clocks
Cycle Time (tRAS) 20 clocks
Command Rate (CR) 1T
And this is what each stick looks like:
Type DDR3
Size 2048 MBytes
Manufacturer Corsair
Max Bandwidth PC3-10700H (667 MHz)
Part Number CM3X2G1600C8D
SPD Ext. XMP
I've been out of the loop for years and went back to being a total newb.
Does this look decent ? anything wrong with the way my ram is set up ?
do you think i can buy an extra 6 GB that would go along well with the 6 i already have or are there chances this might screw things up ?
Crucial upgrade tool suggests i buy a 4GB stick... 4+2+2+2 doesn't sound good to me, but what do i know !?

Ok. Two days of fiddling with settings and I cannot get windows 8 to connect to the internet wirelessly. It worked for like 5 mins and now nothing. I'm connected to my network but I can't get on the internet at all. Hellpppppp.

I never posted any completed pics from my ITX build last month.
Great machine overall. I've since added another 4GB of DDR3 and will be swapping up to an i5-4570 next week now that they've been marked down to $139.99 at Micro Center.

How are you liking that 750 Ti? The Zotac is the cheapest on the market here (UK) and I'm considering picking it up to tide me over until the 870/880s hit. How's TW2 run on it? Oh, and nice build!

We don't know yet.

Is your router getting a signal from your DSL/cable/whatever?
Also, try Windows 8's connection troubleshooting. Sometimes that's all you need to fix the problem.

My laptop, phone, and PS4 are all connected but my PC just won't connect to the internet. I've tried all the built in W8 troubleshooting and a bunch of command prompt stuff too but it's been fruitless. Moving into a new place next weekend and I guess I'm just gonna have to find a way to set up a wired connection.
Are you sure the problem is IP connectivity? I might be able to help if you answer some questions.
Can you ping any publicly accessible hosts? (8.8.8.8 should be up)
What's your router's IP address?
Can you please post the result of ipconfig /all
Right!
Just installed this: http://www.microcenter.com/product/425815/AMD_Radeon_R9_270_2048MB_PCIe_30_x16_Dual_Video_Card
Went ahead and returned my 7750 and just paid the difference, it's worth it in the end.
Fired up Diablo 3, and BAM! 60fps!
Did you install the WLAN drivers from your mobo's website?
Edit: or the drivers from the card/adaptor/device website.
[Basic Desktop Questions]
Your Current Specs: Asus G73JH With 920x i7, 6 gigs ram, AMD 5870
Budget: $1000-1100 United States
Main Use: 5 Heavy gaming and emulation
Monitor Resolution: 1080p
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: Star Citizen, Planetside 2, Dolphin emulation.
Looking to reuse any parts?: Just my HDD
When will you build: Now no deadline
Will you be overclocking?: Yes More bang for my buck. What type of cooling should I get?
I play Planetside 2 a lot and that is a heavy CPU draw game. I haven't built a PC in 10 years so im behind on all the tech. Please help GAF you are my only hope.

Go pretty much part for part on the "Excellent" build in the OP. Kudochop uses something somewhat similar, www.twitch.tv/kudochop
I'd suggest adding the 280x over the 760, unless Shadowplay is something you want to consider.
Lots of videos to see what kind of performance he gets in PS2, plus his config will help you out.
Bad roll of the dice. Buying a prebuilt doesn't save you from random chance. There's been a number of people in the Alienware that have had to send it back.
It's not a paperweight either. RMA the motherboard.
Who did you buy from? They should just replace it with a new one if it has died this fast.
