You need this.
Sure. But keep in mind you'll need to set it at 1866 through XMP in BIOS in order for it to run at those rated speeds. Anything over 1333 is technically an overclock on memory.

I know somebody who just bought (<1 week) a 960 2gb from EVGA, that should be eligible for the step up to the recently announced 4gb when it hits presumably?
Generally they don't allow step up on ram upgrades. An exception was made for the 780 Ti I think.

Wait what, really? That sucks if true.
On their step up page they have this:
"Graphics Cards Examples:
GTX 460 → GTX 580: YES (Upgraded GPU)
GTX 460 768MB → GTX 460 1GB: YES (Upgraded Memory)
GTX 970 FTW → GTX 970 FTW+ : YES (Upgraded Model)"
Hmm, weird. I could be miremembering.
I've never used the step up program but I definitely remember reading/hearing this same thing. Maybe they recently changed it?
This used to not be the case, and I know they made an exception when the 6GB 780s hit. Perhaps they decided to make that standard?
In any case, they do not allow stepping up to/from every model, and the model the person is stepping up to might be exempt.

Oh well, hope for the best then.
Thanks! That's a much better card than the ones I had in mind. Cheers!

Read the OP
I've skimmed through it. There's a lot of overwhelming information I don't truly understand. I can somewhat comprehend but not completely understand.
I'll be looking to build a beefy computer in the coming months. Can I count on GAF to help a noob who knows 0% about computers build one for himself? What parts to buy,etc.I hope yes
start by giving a budget
Yeah. I understand. But I'm looking to build one in the coming months. Ideally my budget would be $1,500-$1,600 on parts. Excluding keyboard and mouse, but including a monitor.
I'm looking for "future proof" as I want to upgrade as minimal as possible. Though, I understand that I have to and price can be a factor as well as time since in months a new graphics card may be released.
This is my general idea. I'd like to be able to play 1080p and at least 120fps for the foreseeable future. If applicable within my build. For a monitor I want something wide, don't know about the inches yet. So, yeah... I know what I want but not how to execute it!
I've covered that. I know I have to at some point.
Thanks. Would really appreciate it.
Possible ITX build, Node 304 and Hyper 212 CPU cooler would also work.

Assuming you arent overlocking, arent using any existing parts, are in the USA.
GTX 980 if you want 1080p 120fps, or atleast closer to it.
Z97 motherboard if you want to overclock, and the i7 4790K CPU to pair with that.
SSD+HDD size of choice.
Rest can stay pretty much the same, unless you think you want to SLI.

I want to be ready for VR this Novemeber so i want to upgrade my current build a bit in a few months.
I have a Mini ITX build so i can only have space for one graphics card.
Should i first upgrade my 760 to a 970, wait for a new GPU, Upgrade my Core-i5 to a Core-i7, or upgrade my whole motherboard for DDR4 support and a better CPU architechture and such?

Overclock the CPU, upgrade the GPU, and you'll be fine.

GPU, wait for new GPUs. 970 would be ideal, but since VR is still a little while off, better to skip the 970 and get the next best value card in the new Gen without the false marketing.
Overclock the CPU.
Ideally buy the GPU when you buy your VR Set.
How about some more RAM? Maybe 16?
I did not mention but I want to do some editing. Maybe video clips (not so much) but for other. Like GoPro footage.

I decided to forget about the M.2 port, just ordering the parts tonight @ Newegg :
Intel I5 4690K @ $229
ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance LGA 1150 @ $100 b4 $20 MIR (has slot config I want minus the M.2 and it can OC K-class CPU's!)
G-Skill 2x4gb DDR3 1600 @ $60
I'll worry about a different cooler for overclocking later, as well as more ram. And an eye on GPU's coming out soon. ~_~

Can use a 2x8GB kit

Also go for the i7 4790 instead of the CPU i listed earlier as it only has 4 cores, whereas the i7 has 4 cores 8 threads which would be useful for video editing.

@LilJoka Why the Xeon over the 4790K out of curiosity? That low frequency completely wrecks the ability to run at sustained 8.3ms in a lot of games. That was one of their preferences.

You can swap out the 290x with a 970 if you have a strong preference for NVIDIA. Also, you could buy all that stuff except for video card and see what's up with the new AMD releases.

Anyone knows of a way to be sure a SSD drive is dying and its not another problem?
Tonight i had a freeze while gaming, i thought nothing of it since.. it happens, but the restart didnt recognize a bootable drive... uh oh.. I shutdown the case by force, restart and it boots. Thinking its just a weird problem i start playing again, same thing happened. Now its crashing in windows while in safe mode, freeze when im trying to do a disk error check (the one in dos mode before booting into w7).
Seems like the SSD gave up on me, but how to be sure?

I will take everything into consideration. So this is the build im looking for right?
I can start buying parts.
And I dont know my preferences. Like Nvidia and stUff. Like I said, my knowledge isn't extensive.
I couldn't get the money together quick enough for a decent monitor so I cheaped out and snagged the latest run of the Seiki 39' 4K TV.
I am running this thing at 122Hz/1080P and WOW! I am now a believer of high refresh rates. I was testing out all of my games and many of them were way smoother than before. Especially the games with borderless-window mode: virtually no tearing and smooth as fuck.
I'm also using calibration settings that I found online from someone using a Spyder 3.
This 'stopgap' was long overdue as I had to resort to down-sampling on a shitty 1440x900 Samsung monitor with light bleed for months :/.

Hey guys, I'm looking for the some quick advice. I currently own a HD7850 and the fan noise is driving me crazy. Sounds like a fucking jet engine. It's also strangely hot. Runs at around 80 degrees on load. I'm thinking of getting rid of it and I wondering if anyone has some recommendations?
What I'm Looking For:
1. Has to be cool and quiet card around $150
2. Low power draw. I only have a 400W PSU.
3. Doesn't matter if it's Nvidia or AMD. I'm equal opportunity when it comes to graphics.
4. I don't even care about a big upgrade, as long as it doesn't perform worse than my HD7850. My 7850 only has 1 GB of RAM anyway.
Bonus: Would be amazing if it's passively cooled, but I seriously doubt I can get performance like the 7850 with a heat sink. Besides, I know someone made a passively cool 7850, and they had to down clock the speed a little.

The GTX 750 Ti is right up your alley, it's very power efficient and 400 watts is definitely more than enough. Compared to the 7850, it's a little bit weaker in overall framerate performance, but it comes with 2GB VRAM and this Asus Strix model ($155) has a semi-fanless running mode.
However, $155 is a bit much for a GTX 750 Ti model. If you can drop the fanless requirement, you'll save money by getting an EVGA Superclocked model for about $125 after $20 rebate and it'll perform just as well as the Asus model for a lower cost.
You have tried cleaning the 7850's cooler, right? Getting the GTX 750 Ti wouldn't be much of an upgrade. Your 400 watt power supply won't handle anything better, though.

I'd look into the benefits of an X99 hexacore for not that much more. The RAM channel bandwidth boost and hexacore should help a lot. You can consider 2133MHz RAM as well if the pricing doesn't kill you in AUD.
SSD for OS 100%, but I'd only buy Crucial or Samsung or Intel (OP parts).

I couldn't find the monitor you were looking at for $179, though. PCPartPicker's Australian price database isn't very extensive.
1. The Xeon E3-1231 v3 processor offers specs and performance similar to the i7 4790 but at a much lower price point. Looking at the official specs from Intel, they are both hyperthreading quad core processors, the Xeon just lacks integrated graphics and is clocked slightly slower.
2. The ASRock motherboard should handle your needs, it seems to have few negative user reviews on Newegg and is cheaper than the Asus model you had in mind.
3. That kit of 16GB G.Skill RAM is rated for the same specs (1866MHz and CL10 latency) but costs less. Can't really go wrong there with cheaper yet equally spec'd RAM.
4. WD Green drives aren't recommended due to outstanding issues with the power-saving features, mostly excessively frequent head parking. WD Red are intended for NAS or similar intensive tasks, and are priced a bit high for the storage they provide, but I suppose if you want the extra features then you could pay more for it. The Toshiba model I chose offers decent specs (7200RPM, 64MB cache, etc) for a low price.
Anyway, I was able to fit a R7 265 for moderate gaming and a 500 watt power supply into the above for just under $1100. With the $179 monitor you chose, that should be just about $1280.

If my PC has a GTX 750 short card, is there anything I need to take into account before upgrading to a GTX 960? Other than the size difference.
Sorry, brand new to pc gaming, and it's my first decent set up. Always just bought PCs as is.

You will probably have to opt for Silverstone's 600 watt SFF modular power supply for best results. Check graphics card length and CPU cooler size.
Use Display Driver Uninstaller to help you remove all traces of old drivers, it's quite handy and is pretty much automated.
Maybe what model of power supply you have and what wattage it is capable of.
