    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    Thanks for the feedback. The motherboard seems to be the biggest thing that I was way of base on. Agreed re: the Asus Deluxe. Think I'm going to back off a bit and save some dollars there. If I wasn't going to go M.2, I'd just use the 500GB 850 Evo that I currently have, but M.2 is new and...

    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    Yeah, the mobo is absurdly priced. It seems that every damn motherboard on the market has terrible Newegg reviews. I went with one with plenty of SATA and onboard wireless that I'll probably never use. I'll look into saving some cash there. RAM is probably my weakest understanding. I did...

    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    Yeah, the licenses are expensive and in high demand, so we have to compromise sometimes. :( If we're at the level where the debate is ~$100 for the i5-6600k vs the i7-6700k, then I'll default to the 6700k and save everyone the time. :D See any issues with my choice in any other major...

    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    So here's a reworked build using a 5820k and a 980Ti. Better? Worse? Still need to change anything? I'm worried about the slower clock speed. I'm sure I can hit 4.0, but the 6700k looks like it's good to ~4.8GHz. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K...

    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely look into a 980Ti -- I wasn't aware that the performance bump was worth the premium. Part of the reason for the 6700k over the 4790k is the newer socket and the DDR4 memory -- this is a build I plan on keeping for a while. Also, the 5820 wouldn't work...

    Mixed use gaming/FEA simulation/workstation build - review requested

    First, the requisite questions: 1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Mostly gaming. I'd like to be relatively future-proof in that regard, I'd like to be able to play AAA titles at 60 FPS at reasonably high settings for the next several...

    Running multi monitors

    It really depends on the game for me, some games won't let the mouse off of their screen unless you change focus to another program. So you can see what's going on in your other programs, but you have to alt+Tab to change focus to some other program so you can move the mouse outside the...

    Video Card Help for ASUS P5Q

    The reason that I'm now leaning toward ASUS is because I figure that I'll have a better shot at it being compatible. I'm just scared that the same thing'll happen and I'll be screwed again. ;)

    Video Card Help for ASUS P5Q

    Yeah, I did that last night. This is by far the weirdest problem I have ever seen. Which manufacturer was your 8800? I only found reports of this problem with the EVGA version of the 8600.

    Video Card Help for ASUS P5Q

    This is a P5Q Deluxe. Sorry... left that out. It will not display anything on either of the 8600GT's. Ever. -If an 8600 is the only thing installed, it won't do anything -If 2 8600's are installed, it won't do anything. -If an 8600 is in the primary PCI-e slot and the 7100 is in the...

    Video Card Help for ASUS P5Q

    Hi, I just upgraded to an ASUS P5Q mobo, with 2x1GB Gskill 1066 and a Core2 Quad Q6600. In my original purchase, I ordered two EVGA 8600GT's. However, these cards don't like this motherboard apparently. It won't boot with them installed. It's not a power or memory problem, if I have...

    Want to get an idea of what it's like to drive a modern Formula One car?

    I can't even imagine what it must be like to drive those things. I am on the Formula SAE team (Virginia Tech) and our car is unlike anything I have driven in my life... I haven't driven anything particularly impressive, a C5 Z06 is probably the most powerful car I have driven, but still...

    What's the most reliable car you've owned?

    1993 Ford Aerostar... we used it until around 275,000 and then donated it to a disadvantaged family. The only thinkgs done to it were some bodywork when I t-boned some stupid 16-year-old driver (her fault) and then a coil pack around 200,000 miles. We still see it driving around town from time...

    Best Fast Food Breakfast

    I am in love with the plain sausage McGriddles from McD's. They have them as a "special" at the one near me for 2 for $2. I'm not a fan of the ones with egg and cheese, though.
