Sell or Media PC

Agreed, it ran everything perfect for me, I just got greedy :P I just don't know what to do with it....I could hook it up to a LED and hook up wireless controllers and emulators etc... as well, and steam? Maybe selling it might be the best option.

For no reason what so ever but epeen, went with this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130918 5% off and additional 30 gift card from new egg sealed the deal. At least if anything happens with the 800 series in 90 days I can step up! Thanks all.

I figure future games would be more demanding, not sure how it's going to pan out but games like The Division are ones I'm definitely going to play.

I was going to OC a little once the rig was all built and stable. The normal games are bf4, titanfall, eso, rust, dota 2 and csgo.

yeah I guess future proof was the wrong term, I had my i7 860 til last week saw would like some longevity out of this build might have been better words, basically close it and not have to open it again :)

I'm asking this a couple places. I just upgraded my gaming rig to everything listed below and I was going to wait for Maxwell...the rumors I'm hearing are 2015 now so I think I want to buy a new card to replace my 570. Budget is 300-400 bucks and I'm assuming the GTX 770 is the way to go...

Last tweak of my rig, and have no idea about RAM

No specific reason other then some advice I got when I first overclocked the machine awhile back and haven't changed it. I have turbo off which I believe was setting my multiplier to X22 (I'll have to double check). What would you suggest?

ah ok, yeah I've never really played with RAM before so I was mistaken. I'm using this time to try and learn as much as I can about them.

Took your guys advice, took out two dimms for backup: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1801930 I did push the voltage up to 1.65 and pushed the multiplier to 2:10 loaded windows at 1800 (I think) but didn't pass memtest so bumped it down to this.

Mumble Vs. Vent and thoughts

That's the war I had with my guild in the beginning. I was paying for the vent server though so it was pretty much contribute or come on over. Not a single person offered to pay, everyone came over and no one has complained. In face it's taken over skype for arenas as well for a number of us.

i7-860 so far

I'll have to check, I finished up late at night so I'm hoping I didn't set it to auto :P I normally see the 860's vcore around 1.36 for 3.8 OC's from my research, am I looking at the wrong stats? I thought 1.31 was a decent voltage from that statistic.

Once you have the strat down for the combo's on Halfus it'll be pretty simple. Conclave is the same, at least the way we do it with tanks and healers switching between nature and Ice after ultimates.

If you can get the first two in BWD you can get Halfus Conclave, and Twins easily, don't worry about that.

I also hope so, some nice resto druid changes to cover some of our weaknesses. On a side note I'm beyond frustrated with my ten man...we basically can only get conclave, halfus, twins, mag, and defense system down. Not sure what's going on.
