Doesn't seem so, but I assume it would be easier to overclock.

Is it a bad idea to just buy a preassembled rig from ibuypower.com? I can't even assemble a piece of IKEA furniture without fucking it up, so I'm terrified of handling $1200+ worth of PC gear.

The only problem most people have with pre-made is the exorbitant pricing. If you're willing to pay the premium there isn't anything inherently wrong with pre-made. Occasionally they'll bundle some questionable parts though.

Hmm their 1x120 fans typically have problems to quietly cool 100W cpu - I wonder how it will work for 200+ W gpus.

White PCB looks sleek as all fuck. http://www.techpowerup.com/201560/msi-goes-black-and-green-with-its-eco-line-of-motherboards.html
My question is whether if MSI makes a Z97 version if they'll call it Z97 White MPower.

I don't know if this has been posted already but, brace yourselves for PLS 4K monitors for as low as 399$

White PCB looks nice but i wonder if it will still look nice after 2 years in a house of smoker.
That white PCB looks TERRIBLE with that scheme
why live
The pins look the same nooooooooLook!

Aria are shit though. They charge through the arse for postage too.
Dabs has it for the same price plus free postage and they're less shit http://www.dabs.com/products/crucia...-ssd---9-5mm-adapter-9HH0.html?q=MX100&src=16
That's true, but Dabs doesn't have the 256 in stock.

Welp, found my future mouse :
http://gearnuke.com/roccat-reveals-roccat-tyon-gaming-mouse/
My Kone + had a decent run, don't really use the easyshift stuff and I wished the side buttons were consider like simple additional mouse buttons, this thing up there just looks right down my alley!

Okay, thanks I'll do that next time. The H105 has PWM fans but I think the pump is only 3 pin. The other issue is that I don't think an H105 will fit in my case (Thermaltake Chaser A41). It has space for a 240mm radiator, but I think the H105 is way too thick.
He's right though. That's all we talk about on Steam group chat.

I wonder if the op is going to update the front page after computex.
Depending on what happens yeah. You didn't see the big red text that says to hold off on builds for now?

I meant more for the mice and keyboard stuff. Because of was thinking of this combination

But you know, after these conventions, sometimes something better will come out.
I have the Brown switch version and love it. Great kb.
It's $64.99 @ Amazon right now too.
Have you ever used red switches before, mate? I know a lot of people swear by them but I had a Corsair K65 with reds and returned it after a week because it felt really sloppy. It didn't feel worth the move to a mechanical kb, to be honest.

No, this is the first time using a mechanical keyboard, what do the switches do exactly and why are they important?
Anyone have any experience or knowledge on the Dell P2314H? I read this review of the 2414H and it sounds great, PWM free etc. Anyone know if the 23 is similar? No reason for it not to be right?
They each have different feedback and a sound to them. I have a brown and blue switch mechanical keyboard. I use the brown for gaming and blue for typing. The blues are incredible in that aspect. You feel like a typing wizard, but they are really loud. Browns are softer , but still provide good feedback. Haven't used a red switch mechanical keyboard yet.
Question for veteran PCGAF: I'm ready to build my second computer, but I'm unsure if I should wait for the fall (Black Friday/Holiday Deals) to build it. Are the deals significantly better around that time, or are discounts pretty evenly spread out throughout the year that I could start hunting now?
I only ask because I'm getting incredibly impatient!

Just build when you need it. Right now there's some decent deals and while BF is great for storage, SSDs are really cheap ATM anyways and unless you're waiting for Haswell-E I don't see any reason to wait.
PC components don't tend to get discounted at those times. Black Friday is about consumer electronics, which is a different segment. I'm in Europe though, so what do I know? =)
Will the release of Haswell-E drop the price of older models? I'm good on storage and RAM, mainly just looking for processor, mobo, and graphics card as I want to jump from AMD to Intel.
The OP in the kb thread has a quick and dirty breakdown of each switch. LINK.
Brown switches are the most balanced and usually a safe bet for multi-purpose rigs.
It's probably a good idea to visit a shop that carries keyboards and try them out for yourself.
Red is like falling down onto the softest bed the world has every known.
But fuck comfort, real men use blue. If you don't wake up the neighbourhood then you aren't typing right.

Oooooooh, I was on the fence with the M500, but with the MX100 I can finally motivate myself to get a new SSD.
Having to transfer everything though....ugh.

No, prices on Ivy-E and Sandy-E will not drop. They are still almost the same as they were at launch.
Haswell-E is not what you want, unless you want to have to sell your existing RAM and spend >$1000 for the parts you list. It's the enthusiast 6 and 8 core line with DDR4 memory support. Its release will not affect the prices of the normal Haswell desktop line.
I think you might understandably be confusing Haswell-E with Haswell refresh and/or Haswell K refresh (aka Devil's Canyon). Haswell refresh are available now and I understand Devil's Canyon CPUs are meant to be available July. The release probably wont affect prices of current Haswell CPUs much either.
From PCPer:
"In fact, there are two Devil's Canyon processors being launched this month. The Core i7-4790K will sell for $339, the same price as the Core i7-4770K, while the Core i5-4690K will sell for $242."

GAF I just built: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/sincover/saved/NqbwrH
My i-7 920 build gave me many good years, but was starting to show it's age. This is my first new build since 2008-2009 and I'm hoping it lasts just as long as 920.
I haven't bought the video card yet. Are prices likely to come down in the near future or should I just pull the trigger now?

Prices could drop a little after Devil's Canyon is released (probably only $10 or so). That being said you might want to wait for devil's canyon to see if overclocking is any better. If you can't wait change the NH-D14 to a Hyper-212 or something cheaper. The 4770k will hit its "heatwall" long before the NH-D14 is at cooling capacity unless you delid your CPU.
EDIT: didn't fully read your post =P GPU prices are stable right now, all the new GPUs have been pushed back into late late 2014 or 2015

Impact VII is Z97 chipset which is future proof for Devil's Canyon, and Broadwell down the line. It'll give you more longevity.
de-lid your CPU?
So my ASUS M4A87TD mobo crapped out on me after a mere 2.5 years. It refuses to POST. I was then told it would make more sense to replace it rather than getting it repaired.
I have an AMD Phenom II X6, and am looking for suggestions for a replacement for the ASUS mobo. I'm looking to not spend more than 90 or so bucks..
I was currently eyeing the GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P as well.
Should I trust ASUS again after this relatively quick failure?

Or you could send the Asus back to them to be fixed for free?
I think my warranty or whatever has expired. I remember sending it back to them when the problem first started happening. Then sent it back saying that it "passed". Then the guy was like, "your warranty seems to expire at the end of May".

Damn, wish Smokey had posted that tomorrow. Had to buy a textbook which is some absurd campus specific version because fuckstudents so that was 200 gone. Is Nvidia likely to announce anything?

Gong to get this mouse right here as well. I don't think it works on macs though, so I can only use it on my new PC.
