  1. Finally upgraded from the legendary 2500k... so how'd I do?

    Fair enough... so what would you have built instead, or would you have waited for the next gen of one of the chips?
  2. Finally upgraded from the legendary 2500k... so how'd I do?

    Lol I love AMD. I always recommend them to friends/family who want to build a rig, it's just the enthusiest in me I suppose. I honestly didn't spend big, $497 for Mobo and CPU... that's like $350 for the CPU if you dont discount the motherboard. I just felt like Intel deserved my money after...
  3. Finally upgraded from the legendary 2500k... so how'd I do?

    Newegg had the i9 9900KF/ASUS PRIME Z370-A II combo'd for $497 yesterday so... I bit! It will be nice to build a new rig! It was time... allow me to share a small bit of my history upgrading this thing. I've had this same case since '05 and upgraded the guts twice. It's original CPU was the...
  4. Accidentially Rebuilt My Old System

    Still rocking it and Im a gamer who plays GTA V, Battlefield, CS:Go etc. Helluva chip, but it is time, I must choose... do I buy now, in November, or just wait it out for some massive price drop? And similiarly, I've upgraded my i5 2500k through a few upgrades, first from 670 to 670's in SLI...

  6. Best $100 or less Small Form PC for Uptime

    I plan on running a ZNC bouncer. And maybe a plex media server. Was looking at ASRock Deskmini 110W which goes on sale for $90 tomorrow for the week of Black Friday I really want something with great stability and longevity.

  9. Buying GPU's that were used for Bitcoin Mining...

    Figured I'd update the thread since it gained a bit of interest. Ran some benchmarks - seems pretty solid, right? Specs in sig..'' EDIT: Does it matter if the benchmark software was installed on a storage drive instead of SSD?
  10. Buying GPU's that were used for Bitcoin Mining...

    Should you ever buy a GPU that was used for mining? Is it possible to check if a GPU was used for mining? Any other advice when it comes to gamers looking for bargains on expensive GPU's? I just paid $460 on a Manufacturer Refurbished PNY GTX 1080 Founders Edition and I'm unsure if it was...
  11. GTX 1080 PCI-e 2.0 vs PCI-e 3.0

    Awesome, thank you guys and yes sorry for thinking his signature was a flaming AMD fanboy's response XD My bad! I'll deal with the 4-5% performance drop and squeeze as much as I can from this rig before splurging on a new one. This i5 2500k has got to be the most legendary CPU ever though...
  12. GTX 1080 PCI-e 2.0 vs PCI-e 3.0

    Please don't hijack this thread and turn it into an Intel vs AMD fanboy pissing contest. Thanks
  13. GTX 1080 PCI-e 2.0 vs PCI-e 3.0

    I just bought a GTX 1080 to go into my system(see signature.) I also just realized however that my motherboard is only able to use PCI-e 2.0 with my i5 2500k. I could upgrade to an 3rd gen Ivy bridge to unlock the PCI-e 3.0 feature but is it worth it? How much of a performance loss will I...

    Thanks Dave, will keep that in mind. I am going to edit it so that it shows I'm ready to buy now.

  16. Huawei watch $250 at Best Buy

    Avoid all Chinese Huawei branded gadgets. They allegedly put backdoors in their stuff to allow for spying. Dont take my word for it, a quick google search will reveal all you need to know. They've been/are banned from selling anything to our goverment since 2013
  17. EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ B Stock $259

    I had a GXT 670 and upgraded to this exact make/model and I didn't see much improvement so I sold it after a couple months and went back to my 670. Honestly, this deal is cold. Wait for the 1070 or 1080 and spend the extra money. Or wait for the 980Ti to come down to this price range... it...
  18. I almost bought a pair of 32GB DDR4-2400 kits (well, a single 64GB kit)

    While I agree to some extent, RAM is pretty cheap so I would say if you can afford it, more is better. Some games and programs are more memory intensive than others and are not optimized very well and benefit from more RAM. I definitely noticed a difference going form 8Gb to 16Gb of RAM in...
  19. Best $200 LGA 1151 Motherboard & 16GB Ram Combo

    by the way, how do you like your PNY 970? Curious if it met your expectations of the card... and have you had any issues? I went from a 670 to a 970 and really wasn't impressed with the improvement.. I sold it and went back to my 670 for now.
  20. Best $200 LGA 1151 Motherboard & 16GB Ram Combo

    Ahh gotcha, was hoping you knew of some great budget overclocking stuff :)
  21. Best $200 LGA 1151 Motherboard & 16GB Ram Combo

    Dave, are you suggesting overclocking some ddr4 2400 ram? If so, any recommendations?
  22. Best $200 LGA 1151 Motherboard & 16GB Ram Combo

    I was hoping for the board and the memory to be in the $200 price range for total price. But yah, alas the itch to upgrade is unbearable. The 6700k seems to be the gamers choice processor. I'm all about tweaking my rig to get quick response times and smooth playing games. The sandy bridge...
  23. Best $200 LGA 1151 Motherboard & 16GB Ram Combo

    I've had Gigabyte, Asus, Asrock, MSI, Intel motherboards in teh past and seem to like the ASRock the best just because it feels fresh, fast, and they always have what I need on their site. Plus I like their utilities, like Quickboot and XFastRam. I'm making the switch to Skylake and am...
  24. CS GO Framerate drop

    I've gotten a lot of life out of this setup, alas - I've decided to part my system out and upgrade to newer architecture. I'm thinking i7 6700k, MSI GTX 1070, and an ASRock mobo as they've been real solid for me in the past. Will be nice to jump into something with the faster DDR4 memory too.
  25. CS GO Framerate drop

    Yea pretty much.. I'm not 100% sure it's not my memory yet. I'm going to run memtest here in a little bit after windows updates is finished. I stuck my old 670 back in there and CSGO runs better. Good thing I didnt sell it yet Lol. Oddly enough, the 970 runs Ark:Survival Evolved pretty damn...
  26. CS GO Framerate drop

    So apparently formatting your drive will not fix this issue... :eek: I'm going to try a beta soundcard driver from ASRocks site and then undo my overclock on my CPU & memory to see if that resolves it.

    TRT VITOR IS A MOTHER FUCKER!! lool 'TRT Vitor' we sound like Rogan... did you hear him on his podcast talking about how guys are still cheating using glass instead of plastic blood containers? He didnt get into specifics, mainly just implying yah - it's still happening. Cheating in MMA...
  28. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    I do enjoy putting a new rig together once in a while, and its been a very long time. So pairing that with this little stutter issue I'm having in CS:GO and not being able to run new games like Ark Survival Evolved on Ultra and knowingly won't be able to crank up graphic settings in new games...

    who's everyone rooting for? Jacare or Vitor! Im going with Werdum, Jacare, Cyborg, and going with Corey Anderson retireing Shogun. I'm actually looking forward to almost all of these fights. And the ones I dont know, I'm sure I will enjoy. A card in Brazil is always a card worth watching...

  31. PC Won't Boot or Restart From Sleep Mode - FANs REMAIN ON, PC UNRESPONSIVE

    Yah I dont know, our specs are similar and I had the same issue. What kind of drive do you have for your main OS drive and is it getting full or really old? I just turned 'hibrenation' and 'hybrid sleep' off, though if i had to guess... maybe a caching issue? You can check your advanced power...
  32. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    Yah not just gonna ignore it because you say to ignore it lol. I didnt have this problem before I upgraded my 670 to my 970. I appreciate your advice but you said you dont play games, so I wouldn't expect anything less.
  33. Realtek HD Audio running suddenly, heating up my GPU?

    If you dont need the Realtek service thats causing the problem, why not just disable it in the device manager?
  34. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    Thanks all for the discussion. The main problem I'm having is while playing CS:GO. Whenever there is gunfire, my framerate drops from 299 to like 100ish for like a millisecond then goes back to 299. I have a feeling there is something else wrong with my system, and am considering formatting...
  35. CS GO Framerate drop

    Hello all. I am having an issue since upgrading from a GTX 670 to a GTX 970 with framerate drops in game whenever there is gunfire. The game gives me 299FPS until the gunfire happens, then it chops to like 100 fps for a few milliseconds but its definitely noticeable. At first I figured this...
  36. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    I agree for most gaming the i5 2500k is still quite capable... however for someone looking to run current & future games with textures/shadows all the way up, I am a bit skeptical. If you look at my system(in my sig) what would you suspect to be the bottleneck?
  37. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    Yah same, however, my GTX 970 will not run as good as other peoples who have newer CPU's so yah, the 2500k still fetches around $100 on ebay so why not upgrade. I've gotten good life out of it and there's really no debate that there -are- better CPU's out there right now...
  38. Upgrading from i5 2500k

    I'd like something around the $300 price point. AMD or Intel. Which is better bang for the buck right now? Overclocking is not a problem. I plan on playing high-end next gen games that utilize DX12. Also plan on getting the GTX 1070 once that's available. Any recommendations? Thanks in...
