Looks like the 700 series is on for sale to clear stock. You can get a Zotac GTX 780 with a copy of the new Borderlands, 5 year warranty and a triple fan cooler for £224. I'd still recommend the 970 over it if for nothing other than the extra 1GB of memory but if your budget doesn't stretch that far it's a great option to have:

Overclockers have a 770 up for £180 as well and while I'm not a fan of the 2GB GDDR5 on them there's no denying that it's a lot of performance for the money.

So, right now I'm at:
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz
Gigabyte GeForce GTX760 Windforce 2GB DDR5
Corsair TX650M 650W Reais ATX/EPS
2x Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600MHz
HD Seagate SATA III Barracuda 7200 1TB
Kingston SSD 2.5´ 60 GB V300 SATA III
Corsair WaterCooler Hydro Series - High Performance H60
Does it all fit in a CoolerMaster Stacker 915R? Or is the Silverstone RVZ01 better? It's really hard to find the RVZ01 around here...
And I also need a Motherboard recommendation. Anyone?

Yep.
You want an ITX form factor FM2+ socket motherboard.
You need to stick to the PSU choices in the build sheet. They're specific sizes to fit in the specific cases. RVZ01 only takes SFX form factor PSUs, for example.
Where are you looking for the RVZ01? The ML07 is the same case as well, with a different aesthetic.

Yeah, the Kabini is an SoC, so there's no NB on the motherboard. They have lower manufacturing costs.

I'm in Brazil, and I could import it. But I think I'll need to get a different case, a bit bigger. Probably the Haf Stacker 915r or 915f. Do you know any other not-so-big Cases that I can look for?
And about the motherboard, isn't there a substitute for the GA-Z97N-Wifi ?

If you want something similar to an ML07/RVZ01, check out the Silverstone GD04-GD10 series.
They are from tinitiny - pretty huge, but all in HTPC-optic.
Is the 5930K a worthy jump from my 960 to justify the buy? My mobo is going and I don't really want to buy another LGA1366 board this late in the game if I don't have to, but if the CPU world is still as slow as it has seemingly been I will if there's nothing to justify the 5-700 bones for a haswell e i7 + a mobo.

Help GAF!! I'm in the pits of dispair.
I finished my build last night, posted just fine. In windows 7 now and it's working great. But, there is one issue that is pretty serious. When I shut down my computer, windows closes and then all of the fans in my computer ramp up and stay that way. It stays like that forever. Also my DVD drive still works. The only way to shut it off is with the power switch on the psu. When I flip the psu switch to turn it back on again, it stays off until I hit the power button on the tower. When I do hit the button the fans turn on but nothing happens with the computer besides the fans. Then if I press the power button a second time it comes to life. I need some help

5930K over 5820K if you're planning a 3-way SLI./crossfire setup. Otherwise, the 5820K is where it's at.
And yeah, it's worth the upgrade.

Ok, how's this rig:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX760 Windforce 2GB DDR5
Gigabyte p/ Intel GA-Z97M-D3H LGA 1150
Corsair TX650M 650W Reais ATX/EPS

HD Seagate SATA III Barracuda 7200 1TB
Kingston SSD 2.5´ 60 GB V300 SATA III
Corsair WaterCooler Hydro Series - High Performance H60
CoolerMaster HAF Stacker 915F
Will it all fit the case without a problem?
Or is this going to explode if I don't change something?

I never knew these existed. What's receiver look like? I'm still in the market for a monitor but perhaps this is a better solution in the mean time
Eh, 3 way is a little extreme, but I'm probably going to sli my 780 once the prices dump due to the 9xx series launch. Will I still be alright with that on the 5820k without bottlenecks?

Aaand it's done.
i7 4790K
Asus Z97-A
16GB
2x Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
Sound Blaster Z
2xSSDs and 2TB HDD
Noctua NH-D15
NZXT H440
Corsair HX750
Everything fits pretty much perfectly and it's very cool (as in low temperature)! Not too sure if the thermal compound is properly applied (as I had some issues with the installation of D15) but I'm gonna wait it out and see how temps are when I'm overclocking.
The H440 is great. Easy installation, good possibilities for cable management, great airflow, quiet. Some nice extra features as well. Thinking of getting a few extra fans though (or just one, not sure). There's currently 3 fans in the front (intake) and 1 in the back (out). 2 CPU-fans, and 6 GPU-fans, 1 PSU fan. Works fine at the moment.
CPU is currently ~33°C @ idle at stock.
D15 is bloody huge.
Both 970s are 35°C idle at a 1523 boost clock, and the performance is simply amazing. Even Dead Rising 3 is playable!
One thing I'm rather curious about - when I disable SLI, the temperature goes up ~10 degrees. What's up with that?

VERY nice! Here I am wanting just one of those cards!
So currently I have this in mind:
Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower Case
MSI AM1I Mini ITX AM1 Motherboard
AMD 5350 2.05Ghz Quad-Core Processor
Crucial 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply (CX430)
Samsung SH-224BB DVD/CD Writer (SH-224BB)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (already have this)
Should be about 250 total. Anything I could improve with only a small price increase?

Don't come out of the gate aiming for something. Just work it up and see what your specific card can achieve.When my 980 comes in, what overclocks should I be aiming for?

True, but there's got to be some average of what people are getting to. For the core boost clock, it seems to be between 1500 - 1600. Memory I have no clue what people are getting. Lol
Yeah, but none of that really matters. Each card is a snowflake
I don't know. Maybe $400-500?

Alright. After 6 months of window shopping and hesitating, I finally ordered my mini itx build.
Some of these parts I already had lying around, but:
Pentium g3258
Corsair h80i ($45 refurb @ Newegg)
MSI|Z87I AC ITX Z87 R
(Free 8gb Kingston hyperx ram)
Rosewill legacy w1-s
Asus nvidia 660
Corsair gs700 PSU
Looking to get a modular PSU somewhere down the road, but I'm just happy to get this thing started.

I was thinking about a 120Gb SSD, but I'll only use it for the OS. But it's not so much of a difference in price, so i'll probably go 120Gb.
But can anyone confirm if this specs will run everything well and will fit the case well?
Urrgh. I should totally grab one for video editing.

But it also looks "sloppy". Like everything is just thrown inside.
I'll take a look at regular cases too, see if I can find a not-so-tall one

Will this specs fit in a BitFenix Prodigy case? It's small, pretty, and looks like it has good ventilation!

I feel like you should either bump that 760 up to a GTX 970 or wait for the 960 that's coming in a month or two. A 760 is about to be an outdated card.
It's looks ok. I just remember people saying it was good when it came out. Just reading some reviews today and apparently it's not the best at cooling with the little vents in the front.
It's definitely more quiet-oriented than cooling oriented. Totally fine for a single GPU setup.
I'd go for a physically smaller, higher quality 500-550W modular PSU. It'll make PSU installation a lot easier. But that's totally preference, and not necessary.
Yeah or atleast buy a 780 at discount.
AsfaeksBR
Member
I'm thinking about it, but it all depends on when I'm getting it.
But even if the GTX760 isn't that strong of a card, it will run games for a little while without a problem, and when I upgrade I'll be able to use it as PhysX dedicated!

And guys, the price difference may seem small where you live.
But here in Brazil, the GTX970 is comign out almost $250 more expensive than the 760. And the 780 is, believe it or not, more expensive than the GTX970!

Is there any downside to getting a full tower? Apart from the obvious (cost, how much space it takes up).
I was thinking more in terms of whether it is harder to manage airflow because there's a greater volume of air or something like that.
(x-post because I got the wrong thread last time.)

I was hoping to do a full rebuild, but my financial situation has changed and so has my budget.
I currently run a 2600k OCed to ~4.5ghz. That is still a very viable gaming chip right?
Thinking about just swapping in a 970 gtx for my current 580gtx buying a 27inch 1440p monitor and hopefully getting at least another year out of the rig. Doable?

I already ordered these parts, but If I switch out my 760 for a 970, what else should I change? Is a 970 overkill for a 1080p/60hz monitor?

Would a 550W be able to support a GTX970?
And what about a SLi 760 and 970?
But what would you recommend if I decide to get the GTX970?
Almost exactly what I'm doing.
I have a 2500k OC'd and I'm replacing my 660ti with a 970 first. Then at the beginning of the year I'm getting a 144hz monitor.
There are improvements to be had upgrading the CPU but it's not nearly as significant as the GPU upgrade.
We'll both be very happy with that GPU upgrade.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but you can't use different GPUs for SLI.
AsfaeksBR
Member
When I upgrade the GPU, I intend to use the GTX760 for PhysX only.
That's what I meant!
Nope. Just big.
1) You can't run two cards on an ITX motherboard. There is only one expansion slot.
2) You would not want to run a 760 as a dedicated PhysX card. Waste of power, and barely any performance gain. You'd be much better off selling the card used to get what you can for it.
3) An overclocked Haswell i5/i7 and a 970 would use around 300W maybe when taxed in games.

So, I better stick with a 550W instead of wasting money on a 750W?
And is the Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H an ITX Motherboard? I thought it wasn't.
I repeat my question from the previous page(s).
I want to get a new case and I kind of like the Silverstone RVZ01, but I have two questions about it, being a case on the smaller side:
- Can I use my current PSU - Corsair CX 750 W with it?
- Does the Gigabyte 780 3gb fit in it?
For some reason I was thinking you were looking at an ITX board given the ITX case, and totally missed that.
That is a micro ATX (mATX) board, and will not fit in the Stacker 915.
1) No, you need a SFX PSU, and Silverstone makes the best ones.
2) Reference or with the triple fan cooler?
