Ok I was messing around with the video settings on ARMA 3 and got fraps so I could get what kind of fps I was getting. I played on standard settings (medium) and I was getting 40-50ish fps with vsync off. When I have it on its the same or lower
Thanks for the advice. I will force VSYNC on. However, I don't really have a problem with the noise as much as I do to my games crashing the activity level showing 99% on when I am only on a game main menu. I am also concerned with the temps
Hi,
For the past few months when I play pc games I noticed a humming/whining sound coming from my graphics card. I looked into it and narrowed it down to what people were saying was "coil whine."
I ignored it because I didn't really think anything of it and I didn't play games that were...
Hi guys, I am on a really tight budget. I am in the process of building a sub $300 computer and while installing all the parts I realize that the SSD I bought (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820147247) did not come with the adapter brackets to put in the 3.5" slot. Do I absolutely...
Ok so here is what I ended up going with. I am going to Microcenter tomorrow to pick up the pc/mobo combo. My question here is that I just realized you went for the MSI motherboard instead of the gigabyte. Is there any specific reason for this?
I also realize I probably made a mistake on the...
I wouldn't say its impossible but definitely challenging.
Right now here is what I was able to get:
Rosewill microatx case with 450w PSU - $50 amazon
Kingston hyper 4gb - $40 amazon
Samsung Evo 120gb - $80 newegg with promo
This brings my total to $170 currently and the motherboard/cpu...
Ughh I'm so split on going with the amd fx pc/mobo combo from mc or the A6 combo maybe even A8 combo. Trying to figure out which one gets me the most performance for my money. Not that she needs or cares about high performance but I just want to get the best my money can buy lol. It seems that...
Thanks all for the suggestions. The builds you guys suggested are somewhat similar to the one I was thinking of. I do have a microcenter nearby so I can take advantage of the cpu/mobo combo deals. They don't have to all necessarily new parts.
I was looking at Dell's outlet stock and for...
I already have windows so I won't be needing that. I also don't need a stand alone video card.
Parts I am planning to get:
CPU, motherboard, case, psu, memory and SSD
Hi everybody, my girlfriend is in need of a basic computer and I want to build it. I know that I can buy refurbished computers for pretty cheap but its not going to have what I want.
Before I get into the basic questions a little side note is that this build needs to have a SSD. I am looking...
I just build a new computer a few days ago, here are the specs
xfx pro 550w
Antec one case
asrock extreme4 z77 mobo
sapphire radeon hd 7950
i5 3579k
gskillz 8 gb ram
kingston hyper x 120gb ssd
1tb seagate bearacuda hd
for some reason it seems completely random every the first time it happened...
What would you suggest for a pc case for a beginner build with possible upgrades in the future and pretty much going by part for part from your guideline:
-Antec series one (as posted in your build)
-Cooler master haf 912
-Antec Three Hundred
-Antec Three hundred two
just trying to get a feel...
Hey guys I had just placed an order on microcenter for pickup ordering the 3570k and a z77 extreme4 motherboard. However I am having second thoughts after reading the reviews on the Xeon E3-1230 processor.
It is $199 on microcenter compared to the $189 for the i5 3570k. Now one of my main...
First off, thanks everyone for all the help!
Secondly, I've read elsewhere that it might be best for me to get a Sandybridge rather than an ivybridge due to them being able to be overclocked more and possibly because of that be able to handle games better? I'm open to any suggestions
I am trying to decide which to buy for my new/first build. I've been reading trying to understand the differences and possibly the pros of buying an extreme4 but it just goes over my head.
If it matters I will be buying an i5 processor and either a 660ti or radeon 7950hd. I will be using...
What does one suggest the combo I should go with? I will be using pc for gaming, video editing and hd streaming. I already have the video card picked out, I am just having a hard time picking a motherboard since I am fairly new at this. I was thinking of going with :
Intel Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz...
Hmm. So I am on microcenter and have the Z77 Pro3 1155 ATX Intel Motherboard added to the cart. On the page it shows up 94.99 but when i go to check out it is showing up as $44.99. Is this the same one as the cpu+mobo combo you posted...
