"I Need a New PC!" 2014 Part 1. 1080p and 60FPS is so last-gen and your 2500K is fine

Are you not satisfied? The only real upgrade is to add another 780Ti.
1 year is a long time in the PC world, but I'd say no. Only things that could happen is that Maxwell is highly superior over Kepler and that games starts to really take advantage of i7s.

You can choose between the lesser evil, which at least isn't expensive as hell, and the bigger one, which on the other side has a bit better CPUs.
For a gaming PC, there isn't much of an option.
Plus, don't forget about unlocked Pentiums soon!

Resolution? Budget?
But purely on bang for buck calculus....I would say the R9 290 probably. Near 290X performance for only 400 bucks.
Smokey, I think I found your next purchase.

RAM probably costs $2000 on its own.
Proper water cooling or bust.
(either is probably too much hassle, Smokey has had enough headaches to last a few years)

You aren't limited to 1080P, there is always downsampling and SGSSAA!

PC bros, would you say this is a decent card for the price to do me for a year or so? Im thinking maybe next year I could sell it on for a few quid and pick up a 780ti when theyve hopefully dropped in price. I really want a 780, but the price tag is quite hefty for me at the moment. The rest of my rig is an i7 4770k, & 16GB ram. I game at 1680x1050, and occasionally downsample from higher resolutions, looking to run games at max, 60fps (not going to 1440p, 120fps as my monitor obv wont support that)

$3000 in video cards. Jeebus.
R9 290 would be the card you should look at.

Plz. You know he'll probably be selling those for 880s or something.

Is microcenter doing any cpu/motherboard deals for the z97s?

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Oh wtf Smokey.

Good show. Real good show.

What's this about unlocked pentiums?
I want something without that stupid iGPU but with a cpu similar to a 4670k, don't suppose this it that
?edit: googled , dual core only, so it's useless
No for gaming you can't go amd anymore sadly

But if I don't feel like ditching team green?
Clock your RAM super high too yo.
That means I get to start my project first then
Probably :v(
Was yours the tri 290s?

Haven't seen anything yet. I'm almost sure they will but not until release date gets closer. They usually do that for new launches.

Hi guys, I have been thinking about building a PC and ended up with this: http://de.pcpartpicker.com/p/HFJxbv (Germany)
Is it alright like that? Could there be any changes (to pay less for a similar result)? Any help is appreciated, as I have no idea what I'm doing...
Also, would a 430W Power Supply be good enough? Somewhere else the "be Quiet Pure Power L8-CM 430 Watt" was suggested.

Then get over your emotional attachment to consumer products.
Though I do truly mean that, I can understand your hesitation of the unknown. Everything is great everywhere right now, so it's not the iffy decision it once was 4+ years ago.
Should be fine. That unit can deliver 512w at full load. I've got one myself and I'm very happy with it.
Still, part of me is hesitant I'll not lie. If it were my own build I'd do it without a second thought but when it comes to someone else I can't help but feel I should say go 550w just to err on the side of caution. If you're looking to overclock both the 7970 and 4670K then definitely go 550w, as I wouldn't put that PSU under that kind of stress.
I'm looking for something to replace my 5 year old 1080p TN panel monitor. I upgraded to a 780 and a 3570k@4.4GHz last year, and I'd like to finally upgrade my monitor. My budget is around $200-$300, and I will be using the monitor purely for gaming. I'm currently completely unsure as to what path I should take. I originally wanted to just get another 1080p 60hz and call it a day, but now I'm not so sure. I'm possibly considering going for 120Hz as well, but I'm very reluctant to sacrifice the image quality that an IPS would bring me. I'm also considering the 1200p Dell Ultrasharp, but I've heard that there's been some difficulty with games not supporting that aspect ratio. I haven't seen any 1440p monitors in that price range, so that's mostly out of the question. Any advice from those of you who have experience with these monitors would be greatly appreciated, since I'm completely confused as to which path I should take.
Image quality is for squares. ASUS 144Hz or a used Samsung 120Hz if you want better colors.
but pixels are squares
Depends on what kind of gaming you do. The best value you can get around $300 is either one of the cheap Korean 1440p IPS displays or a 144Hz TN display. Among the latter, I think the ones that look best are the Benq Z series (more configurability, wider range of strobing).
I just tried a bit of Crysis 3 for stress test for my new PC (4670K+280X). Aw man, it turns into a jet engine. The video card's fans go up to 2400 RPM. I guess I should've expected that... I'm disappointed that I can't get really get close to a "perceived" 60fps with everything on very high and with SMAA 1X, no taxing MSAA or anything. I can't even see shit either with all the effects the game throws in my face, but that's neither here nor there. I guess there's no helping the fan noise, is there.
Which games do you people play at 144hz, exactly? CS:GO? I'm gonna be comfy couch gaming at 60fps forevah.

A quick and dirty pic of my newly installed white LED strip, couldn't see shit in there.
Looks really nice.
The only games I had problems with @ 16:10 were Ubi titles.
