no problem man, that's for that link - what a relief !
btw some guy said this: "Has anyone had any success overclocking memory on this board? seems to be limited to the default 1333MHz."
does this mean 1600Mhz RAM wont work on this board ?
"I Need a New PC!" 2014 Part 2. Read OP, your 2500K will run Witcher 3. MX100s! 970!

1600MHz RAM will just run at 1333MHz if the board can't get it to run. Would be surprised if it couldn't, but even if it can't, it won't make much of a difference.
My PC should be up and running tomorrow!
My new 780 ti sc arrived, and with the replacement Z87-Pro mobo and Essence STX II sound card from amazon.
Tomorrow the components shipped back from corsair will arrive (4770K, some ram and psu) and instead of the water pump, which I'll be selling, a Noctua NH-D15 cpu fan should come too.
Nice and safe.
Can't fucking wait >.< !

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good set of headphones for gaming? I don't need a Mic, I got that covered. I'd like to keep it under $150 but I'll go up to $200 if it's really worth it.
Either build on top of my machine (replace parts) or build a new one. I am looking to see if I can squeeze what I currently have in a smaller box.
Read the op. Check out the headphones thread.

Could you point me in the direction of the headphone-of course it's right in the op.
Thank you sir.
I disagree, I think we'll see a decent decrease in price. The problem is I think it'll happen over ~5 years. I remember like 8 years ago the cheapest 24" 1080p IPS panels were ~$400 (and there were fears they would never really catch on and TN would takeover, heh). Now they're regularly under $200. I could see high quality 1440p panels diving in price too, but it's gonna take a while.
Plus there's absolutely no way nVidia will be able to keep selling G-Sync kits for $200 once FreeSync is made available.
Freesync is not an equivalent technology to G-Sync. It's inferior in almost every way outside of the frame pacing. But word is that they're focusing on 4K panels and other 60Hz business at first. That right there reduces a lot of the appeal that it has. Most of the reason why folks are so wowed by G-Sync is that not only is it matching frames with refresh, but it's happening above 60Hz.

I'm about to pull the trigger on this monitor unless someone can convince me that 144hz or 1440p is worth an extra 160 bucks...

How do you know? Is there a review out already?
Could you explain this a little more? I don't really remember reading anything about G-Sync being better, and I'm googling around now and can't find anything.
Regardless, I stand by my point. There's no way nVidia doesn't drop the price of G-Sync modules for monitor manufacturers once FreeSync is available to consumers. They obviously won't make it free or anything, but they'll lower the price.

mmm interesting, but the flip side is that this is a TN panel, so the picture quality is worse for the sake of faster response time?
I just went from a VA panel 1080p monitor to that BenQ 144Hz monitor, and FWIW its definitely worth it if you're gaming. Yeah, it being a TN panel does suck for some things (I notice it most when I'm trying to read text on websites), but for gaming and multimedia its fine. Once you go 144Hz, you'll never go back.

Now, in terms of gaming, are you talking more from a competitive standpoint, or even single player visual/performance experience?
I'm pretty terrible at video games so believe me when I say you'll notice it in more than just competitive gaming haha. The difference is arguably most noticeable in side scrollers, where it feels almost like you're playing on a CRT in terms of the smoothness and clarity of the background as you move.
1) No ULMB on Freesync. This is one of the major appeals to G-Sync. The huge issue with lightboost and other solutions is that they take the bad TN colors and makes it even worse. ULMB not only reduces this affect, but gives you the ability to actually change colors, which is something that most other high refresh rate monitors have not done.
2) High refresh rate monitors - there's no indication this is the direction Freesync is going. Almost all of their demos have been on 60Hz panels. I'll admit that we're going to have to wait and see on this one to be sure, but I'm most certainly not holding my breath. My 290 would be happy if they did end up going that route.
3) Monitors for G-Sync have been specifically calibrated for the technology, offering a complete package that not only offers just the technology, but a monitor that is extremely targeted towards gamers in terms of features. Crosshair overlay on the RoG Swift springs to mind immediately.
However, from what I understand, the OEM price on the chip used in the G-Sync module is astronomical. I wish I could find the BlurBusters thread where the person posted the price sheet, but I believe it was $800 or $900 just for the chip. Yeah, of course NVIDIA isn't paying that, but it does seem likely they're already selling the modules at a loss.
Sure, 5 years down the line, we'll see a decrease in prices. A year or two though? Not likely.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it currently impossible to actually use ULMB and G-sync at the same time?
I honestly don't see how any of these are related to G-sync vs Free-sync (or more properly, Adaptive-sync). These three things are all dependent on monitor manufacturers, as far as I can tell.
So finally put my order in for a 5930K and 16GB Corsair LPX DDR4 memory... after basically what has felt like months going back and forth in my mind about PC builds.
Had been contemplating using the NCASE M1 finally for Impact VII build but would be pretty much without a GPU till the 8 series comes out (have 2 Asus 670 DC2 GPUs at the moment that won't fit in the case) and won't have enough room for the storage drives I've got in my PC currently.
So now to see what the prices on the motherboards are like here in Australia, as they are starting to trickle out and only just after ordering the CPU and RAM did I see the ROG Extreme listed online..

Something may have come loose? Nothing happens when you press power?
The power light and fans come on for a sec then it just stops.
Something is likely loose, RAM or a power cable to the mobo...?
Okay it randomly turned on and it started smoking I'm gonna unplug and bring up to a computer shop so they can see what is up. This is a brand new computer build that I had just turned on yesterday after RMA the powersupply and Motherboard.
Believe that's true. At least on my Swift. I have to reduce the refresh rate to 120hz or lower, and turn Gsync off.
Wow...sounds like PSU or possibly mobo might be bust. Sucks :/
Make sure there isn't a loose screw short-circuiting things (touching the mobo) before you take it in...
Out of interest, what company did the RMA?

Same goes for my modded version.
Biostarr. I will check for any loose screws I just hope I won't have to get replacement parts again...
If the PSU smoked it...chances are you'll need a new one...
Might want to buy a surge protector if you haven't got one already...just to rule things out.
This a joke?

They skipped 300 so I guess it's theoretically possible but I see no reason for it. Videocardz is not that reputable from memory.

Don't know if that's the mobo I'll go with, or whether to wait for EVGA's..but looks pretty swish. If only the 800 series were up, then I'd be ready to press "checkout" and finally start my new build.

I would like to quickly ask. Is this a good Blu-ray drive to ripping my Blu-ray movie collection onto my computer?
Asus Blu-ray drive.
Blu-ray RW SATA ASUS BW-16D1HT/B 16x Silent intern bulk.

Possibly maybe, since the 800M parts were mostly still Kepler.
Does anyone know of an RF receiver that allows you to turn on a PC remotely? I am looking for something cheap, and I need no other functions than being able to turn the machine off and on. I already have a small wireless keyboard, but it only allows me to put the computer to sleep (and then cannot wake it up)
First time? Just take your time and have fun with it!

only a dab of thermal paste. pray to somebody when you first hit that power button.
He's put together computers a little bit but not from the ground up. I'm just nervous that we might mess something up. I've spent a lot of money on these parts and I'd hate to break something or whatever because we were careless.
Oh I'll be praying
Oh man, this so much. Its the one thing that still surprises me every time I do it.
