Yes, you can. I just ordered a 5930K ($590), Asus X99 Deluxe ($399) and 16GB Crucial DDR4 ($240). To bad, the DDR4 I oredered won't be release until 9/11.

That's almost the exact same as what I just ordered. Hah.
Stop copying me. Newegg has successfully charged me. Now, the waiting game. Also, I notice Amazon pricing the 5930K at $675.
I was just sent a link to this pre-assembled motherboard, CPU , RAM and cooler by a family member, is it a good deal? http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/...tm_medium=eweekly&utm_campaign=eweekly-280814
I was looking at the same processor and amount of RAM and I've never built a PC before, so having something pre-assembled might be useful. It doesn't seem to cost much more than the sum of its parts, but are the parts worth the price and are there any potential issues with pre-assembled configurations like this? Most importantly, if it is worth the money is it a great deal that's worth grabbing now or a fairly standard price?
I was planning to wait until the new Nvidia GPUs are released before buying parts and I the earliest I would actually be building the computer is the end of September, if that makes a difference to the recommendations.

Sorry i should have rephrased my question in line with the OT
Your Current Specs:
No Specs, been using a laptop last 3 years
Budget: £600 UK $1000
Main Use: Rate 1-5. 5 being Highest:
Autocad 5
Gaming 5,
Video Editing 4,
Streaming games 4
General Usage 3 (Word, Web, 1080p playback).
It cannot make tons of noise.
Monitor Resolution:
I havent had a monitor in a while, this will need to be included in the price, 17'' would be fine, not altogether bothered with quality.
List SPECIFIC games or applications that you MUST be able to run well: Is 30FPS acceptable? 60? 120? How important is PhysX / SuperSampling / CUDA to you?
Fifa 15 is a must, 100% (30fps acceptable) (it is a new engine on the pc, quite hardware intensive)
League of Legends
Hearthstone
Ideally it would be nice to be able to run Hammer well, the Valve devkit
I am not a hardcore graphics enthusiast, i would just like to be able to run games and do other things while they are in windowed mode.
Looking to reuse any parts?: List make and model (e.g. Corsair 520HX, 640GB SATA HDD, Antec 900)
I have no parts to reuse sadly
When will you build?: Do you have a deadline?
22nd September
Will you be overclocking?: Yes, No, Maybe (This means yes!)
Not at all

I have 4 sticks of 4 gig 2400 GSKILL ram. So a completely different purchase to yours.
Alright, you are forgiven. /jk
The GSkill are in stock? Going to be jealous of your setup until my DDR4 ships 9/11.

Thanks. Don't like the design look. I'll just stick with what I bought.
I'll give you a hand later Cola. Might be around midnight.

So, overclocking Haswell-E on air, is it a stupid idea?

They do mention air cooling in the above vid, say it is possible but you probably want water (even if it's an AIO)

I think PCpartpicker hasn't updated yet, in the mean time. What do you guys think of this combo from Newegg?

Good god! All 16x. Color scheme is amazing.
Just looking at the anandtech gaming benchmarks, I feel safe with my 2500k for now.
Anand OC'd them (nothing special in terms of results), and per Asus an "average" result is 4.5GHz at 1.3V.
http://anandtech.com/show/8426/the-...view-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-i7-5820k-tested/3
Keep in mind, most of those AIOs dissipate the same kind of power as a high end end cooler. Looks like Haswell-E is more along the lines of SB (consumer) power consumption, rather than SB-E/IVY-E. You don't need to look at dissipating 400W when OC'd.
I only saw 5960X overclocking on their review, not 5820K.
Ah did not know this, but I always wondered. I learned something today.
http://anandtech.com/show/8426/the-intel-haswell-e-cpu-review-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-i7-5820k-tested
Oh my bad, got them all confused.
No worries. As I said I'll give you a hand later, travelling atm.
The MSI X99S is so damn sexy and it's the cheapest. Thinking of selling off my Ivy build and paying towards 5820K, X99S, RAM and H105. 3570K that easily hits 4.6, MSI Z77 GD65, 16GB Samsung RAM. Wonder how much I would get... Uhh.
Don't forget a decent cooler, AIO or maybe the high end air coolers would probably do too.

Okay, I'm going to annoy you guys one last time for monitor advice:
I'm down to the following two monitors:
BenQ XL2411Z
or
Asus VN248H-P
The Asus I can get for a total of $145 once I factor in the rebate and coupon (and taxes)
The BenQ will be 229 + tax, so basically $100 more.
For $100 extra dollars I'll be gaining 144hz and a 1ms response time (as opposed to 5ms), but losing an IPS screen and built in speakers (speakers are useful if I plug a console in there). Is the trade off worth that?

I'd imagine it would depend on what type of games you like to play. If you're really into competitive FPS then the BenQ is probably worth it. Otherwise it might be better to get the IPS screen that is also cheaper. Your consoles aren't ever going to take advantage of the higher refresh rate on the BenQ, but the speakers in the Asus would be nice. That said, I have read impression saying that 120/144Hz is really helpful for games like CS.

yeah, I mostly just play single player, and no real competitive multi stuff.
I have read really good things about 120fps though, and it would be really nice to have it in single player games. But then you'd also have to consider if your hardware is capable of pushing out enough frames per second to take advantage of the monitor's refresh rate (this would vary from game to game).

What does the difference between
"Timing 15-15-15-35 Cas Latency 15" and
"Timing 16-16-16-39 Cas Latency 16"
translates to?

Nothing important.
Those Avexir's are at a great price though. I'd go for those in a heartbeat.
No, that will not be the case. You have well over 100W of wiggle room there. Maybe 200W, but I forget the exact power draw of the 750Ti off hand.
I'm in the middle of building my rig, and I have two very important questions.
1. This PC has 2. inch trays. Do I still need to screw in the SSD?
2. The motherboard mounts don't match up with the holes on the board. My motherboard has seven holes, but the way the mounts are laid out in the case means that I'd only be able to mount six of them. Is that OK?

Thank you.
So, NVidia is skipping the 800 series and are going to call it the 900 series to match up with the mobile GPUs?

I just purchased the Asus model last month. The colors are incredible coming from a samsung TN panel previously. I really like it for the price.

Already got an H60 that's been sitting in a box for a while
Should I invest in more DDR3 ram while it's still around? I currently have 8 gigs which is enough for now, but I'm not planning on building a new computer until I'm done school, although I'll probably get a new video card at some point (3+ years). I notice that Star Citizen's "recommended" spec is now 16 gigs, something which I'm sure is going to become more common over the next 3 years. I do also run Linux virtual machines I like to use for coding, so I guess that would also help justify more RAM.
If you can get a good deal over the next few months, I'd go for it, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. I have 16GB and its very, very rare that I hit the limit (only in 1 or 2 games, and even then it only uses like 9GB).
that's fine. The motherboard will often have more holes than the case to allow for many case designs.
Pretty sure I've mounted my motherboard on only 4 of the 8 holes, too...
Has there been a thread about the new 2014 Alienware Area-51 yet?
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2465777,00.asp
Looks interesting...
edit - Oh...I thought this was a new 'console-sized' box... but it's not, it seems to be a regular size tower. Might be less thread worthy in that case!
