I really like the look of the silverstone rvz01. When is it coming out? Also if I was really careful could I build my first PC with it? Or should I start with a normal sized case?

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

Be a bit of a tight squeeze, but you could probably manage.
Ok. Since you're new and have said you're new... You don't need the Sound Card to start, Onboard audio is probably enough for you. As mentioned, there are better PSUs for the money. You probably don't need 16 Gig of ram unless you're running virtual machines, doing a LOT of multitasking or media/coding work.
Again, make sure you get a multi fan GPU. Don't worry about custom water. The H60 is a great closed loop though.
The Fractal R4 is a great starter case. Lots of room to work in, it's very quiet and has no sharp edges.

Got all my parts picked out (thanks kharma45 for the help a few pages back), but I am still racking my brain over the CPU. Is the 4670K really a huge jump over something like a 4440 or 4570? It can save me ~$60 and I'm just not sure if the .2GHz performance is worth the higher price tag.
That .2 GHz becomes .8-1.2Ghz once you over clock. It's a huge increase. (if you have a Z87 board)

What if I don't plan on overclocking though?
I guess it is to say that I've never previously overclocked, and the concept of it is foreign and a little intimidating.
If you don't plan on overclocking then no need for a Z87 board either. B85 or H87 would do in that case.
Overclocking however is nothing to be afraid of. I'd recommend doing some reading up about it and then deciding. It's a matter of changing two UEFI values (the multiplier and the voltage), stress testing to see if it's stable and the temperatures are ok and voila it's overclocked.
It'll help a lot in CPU bound games like anything Source based as well as other tasks that require CPU power.
It's not essential but it'll extend the relevancy of the CPU.

Thanks again kharma.
I'll mull it over. Pulling the trigger on friday to be sure.

Do some reading and see how you feel. It's not hard to do, but the increased cost can put some off. $99 for a decent Z87 board, $25 for the cooler then two hundred and whatever for the CPU does add up. It is however I feel a good investment, but I'm only here to advise not force you to buy anything you're not comfortable with

damn, pretty expensive here. Or that's how I see it

computers are cheaper than ever :X
i bought a 1400 dollar laptop in 2007 that was pretty midrange. nowadays that gets the you the cream of the crop.
I would get a 780 for the price you're paying for the 290x at this point. It's almost $100 cheaper for about the same speed. Bitcoin mining needs to come in the decision right now for any 290 or 290x.
Yeah we get boned a lot on prices here in Canadia. What's your GPU budget? You just missed out on a sale at memory express for the 4gig 770 in 'reasonable' territory. I had that PSU, wasn't bad. And you're getting a decent price on that SSD. If you're wanting to go cheaper, Memex is having a sale on the $99 Sandisk 120gig this coming Saturday. I expect it to be 70-80.
Why did he bother getting the K chip if he was just going to get a B85? While it's not hard swapping CPU's between boards, it's a bit of work. You need to clean all that paste off the chip and the fan, then reapply all that crap again.

Then I'd add in a Hyper 212 to overclock and whatever your budget is for your GPU.
Thank you for the input. Changed the 770 to 760 and got the AXP-100 cooler.
Total is $1285 and parts should arrive by Thursday. Exciting!
Great case. Used one for my parent's build. Make me think about getting my own whenever intel comes out with a worthy i7 920 upgrade so I can get rid of this antec 1200.

I got a brand new BF4 edition 290x for £350, which is £50 less than the average 780.
So the motherboard on my gaming desktop that I built in mid 2011 flat out died. I was wondering if it was my hard drive, as I have been getting hard drive failure messages for the past year (but as it's my gaming desktop, and I don't have anything particularly important on it, I decided to ignore it). The system hardlocked last week and when I turned it off then hit the power button again nothing happened. Now, no lights are showing up in the case. I thought it was the power supply but I took it to Best Buy and they said it's the motherboard (and they said the hard drive is fine).
Anyone thing it just went bad for whatever reason? I had a sizable accumulation of dust in the case, which possibly might have caused it to overheat or, maybe, since I get a TON of static electricity at my house (I get shocked pretty much every time I touch anything metal) I wonder if I damaged the motherboard by shocking the case. At the very least, I know I won't be keeping the PC on the carpet anymore. Anyone have any experience with static electricity damaging their hardware from touching the case?
Anyway, I was hoping to hold out till this Fall for, perhaps, one of the Steam Machines but since it died I don't think I can wait.
If you guys think I might as well just build a new PC from (mostly) scratch, then here's the info:
Your Current Specs
• Fractal Design Define R3 Mid Tower Case
• Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB SATA HDD
• GTX 570 1280MB
• Antec High Current HG-750 750W Power Supply
• i5-2500K 3.3GHz
• BIOSTAR TP67XE (B3) ATX Intel Motherboard
• G.SKILL 4GB DD3 SDRAM
Budget
Up to $1300, USA
Main Use
Hardcore Gaming only. I have use a macbook pro for all my productive stuff. I'm both interested in hooking this up to my HDTV (Sony KDL-55W900A) as well as going the 120hz route, but I'm not sure which one to build for. I can say for certain that being able to run games smoothly using the Oculus Rift is an absolute must. I'm also interested in keeping the case on the smaller end so it'll be somewhat out of the way/low-profile in the living room when it's hooked up to the TV (but this isn't a necessity of it limits the computer's power too much).
Monitor Resolution
Current monitor is Dell UltraSharp with a resolution of 1920x1200 but I may use my TV. Current and near future games must obviously be able to run smoothly and maxed out at 1920x1200.
Looking to reuse any parts?
Possibly my GTX 570 depending on feedback. If so, I'd upgrade my video card this fall.
When will you build?
I'd like to have it built and ready to go within 5-6 weeks, but I'm ready to go now.
Will you be overclocking
Maybe, but probably not. It scares me.

Well that's good then. Most 290X are in the $600 range, while the 780 is in the low $500's. This is all in the states of course.
Prices here are normal-ish now, in the US it's still not.
Honestly, you could go super cheap on the "upgrade" and just get a Z77 motherboard. 2500Ks are still the bee's knees. Or even score a used Z68/Z77 for extra cheap.So the motherboard on my gaming desktop that I built in mid 2011 flat out died.

I'm in Ireland and buy most of my parts from the UK, but AMD cards seem to be cheaper here. 280x goes for a little over £200, whereas it goes for $400 in the US IIRC.

Good news is you can carry over your case, RAM, PSU, HDD (presuming it's working) and GPU if you wanted. Your 2500K is still a great CPU and if you wanted you could just buy a Z77 motherboard like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na and bolt on the Hyper 212 http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffi...212P-G1&manufacture=COOLERMASTER&promoid=1347 and overclock the nuts off the 2500K. Unless you're emulating PS2 and Wii games a new CPU isn't going to do a whole lot mroe for you.
$130 total to get you back in the game. You could do with an SSD too and maybe another 4GB RAM.
Yeah keeping the PC on the carpet and getting it all dusty is not good, mobo could well have fried with a static charge by the sounds of it. Look into either buying some or making your own dust filters for the case. Creating positive pressure in the case will help too.
Agreed. There news headlines is pretty decent because it aggregates a wide variety of topics but is always hours (or sometimes days) behind other sites.
I used to love their hardware reviews until I realized they were bad. Thanks GAF!
Really? How much was it? I'm thinking of around $200. I don't know if that's enough to get a good GPU. Care to give a link for memex? Thanks
I'm thinking of around $200 since initially I have a CA$900 budget for building this PC minus the monitor etc. I don't know if that's enough to get a GPU like GTX 760 or R9 270x.

Not much OC potential on the CPU but that can be sorted down the line. Could get closer to $900 by going for a non-modular PSU.

Wow. Thanks a lot. That's quite a lot of work to do(or maybe not). I thought building this spec is impossible for $900 since I always get mine to more than $1000.
I have a question. Do this site(pcpartpicker) automatically update the prices if it went down or up?
It does yes.
It does, but not taxes even though it says it does. Add another $90 depending on if your state charges online taxes.
Sweet, thanks. Hopefully I can buy my new pc next month. Thank again for the help
You'll have a hard time finding a good gpu in Canada for $200. You might find a used 670 for that price.
SFX psus are fine. Silverstone is even coming out with a 600W soon.
Be careful with pcpartspicker in our country. Your best bet is to use the site for compatibility and finding parts, but then manually checking prices on shopbot and then taking advantage of ncix and memory express price matching policies.Sweet, thanks. Hopefully I can buy my new pc next month. Thank again for the help
They've been in and out of stock because everyone and their mother is buying one. Check SS's online shop.
Being a few hours away from the border makes this a really weird concept for me.
Sorry for the late reply, but the Air 540 is the case.
I can vouch for those Korean IPS display. Got a Qnix in november. Slight light bleed on the bottom but i fixed it myself. Even the 1300 DELL one can have bleed so.
Once you gamed at 1440p, there's no going back. The problem right now is you need a 780 at minimum to play maxed out (without AA for some games, but it doesn't always makes a difference, depend on the game). Pretty sure next gen a 860TI or 870 will be able to play them at resolution... Current titles i mean

Yeah, Silverstone has some good SFX PSU's but all reviews from users say they are a little bit on the louder side than normal. That is my only issue with these, but understandable due to the size of the fan.
Thinking about getting a h105 because my h100i had it's red LED die and now I can't get red or true white from the light. I would love to be able to control the color, but this is the 3rd h100i that has broken in some capacity for me. Had one where the pump died, had one where the usb cable thing snapped off inside the pump, and now one where the red led died. At least the h105 stick to white so I know it will be true white all the time.
Hi everyone.
I'm looking for some advice/help. I, totally new to the PC thing and have been a console gamer most of my life. I wanna plunge into PC gaming so all of this is new to me and I feel dumb looking at all the different parts. I'm going to have $1300-1400 max to spend. Can anyone help me with a build? I will be using it strictly for gaming. Any advice would be appreciated. I'd have to factor in a monitor as well. Thanks in advance.
Your Current Specs: none, building from scratch
Budget: $1300-1400 US
Main Use: 5 Gaming
Monitor Resolution: Buying new. Beat possible within build budget.
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: Looking to play newest games at best FPS possible
Looking to reuse any parts?: no
When will you build?: Within the next month
Will you be overclocking?: I'm new to this so I'm unsure.

What is your guys thoughts on the nanoxia deep silence 1 case. I'm looking for a quiet sounding and looking budgetish case and it seems to fit that bill nicely. The obvious choice is the R4 but that costs $30 more. So I guess my question is is the R4 30 bucks better than the nanoxia?
