By the way, this thread can be moved to a more appropriate forum if needs be. I have pretty much decided on the cpu now. The rest is just deciding on the components for the build.
Thanks.
Hi wand3r3r,
I just finished comparing the 4 mother boards.
I have listed the boards in order from the least amount of features to the most.
Noting that the board next in line will have all that the predecessor did. So I've only made note of what was added to the board as it steps up to the...
Hi there wand3r3r,
I will not be looking to do any SLI or Crossfire.
I'll need some USB3 ports. You mentioned SATA3 ports? Aren't they all SATA 6 now? Though I do see this in brackets (SATA3 0~5) in the product description.
At the moment I am looking at these boards; Gigabyte Z87-D3HP...
:) All good guys.
I am just working on which mobo currently. Trying to find more than enough time learning about them and working out which will fit the bill. Bloody complicated things really :biggrin: I forsee more hours ahead of reading to do...so with that said..back to it..
Well, I am currently in the process of putting a list together with prices. Motherboards are taking up a bit of time at the moment. So many different types. Even from the one manufacturer. Then onto finding compatible ram for the mobo I choose.
Hey there ShintaiDK
I took a look again into what '256bit AVX loads' might be about. Floating points, Stack Overflow, Integer commands'...... nope. I am not going to get that. Waaay over my head thanks. :biggrin: I'll leave that for you pros to argue about. Floating points sounds like we're...
Hi there Termie.
Why did I choose the R9 290? Hmm.. not sure why I settled on that in the end. Everyone is always saying get the best GPU you can. Always. And this one from what I have researched, is probably the better of the lot.
Hi xSneak.
AMD was something I was considering since their...
Oh,
ShintaiDK I have no idea what '256bit AVX loads' are. But I am going to do some research on that subject too. Just to make sure I got that covered as well. :)
Did a quick look before bed.....couldn't make out what I was reading about. So I'll look at that topic again tomorrow.
Started off...
Thanks everyone for your input.
And thank you to wand3r3r,
I had this in the back of my mind before initial post on this forum. But was, I guess, fishing a bit for a little more flavor on the subject. And as I had found, there is no difference in price point between the newest i5 4670k and the...
Buy the way 2nd hand i5 2500k's are selling for around $200 Australian. Man they do hold price alright. It appears from all that I have read that that particular cpu is KING of the hill.
Hi there xSneak,
The games in question are mentioned above. Minus the game amnesia now as that needs fairly low spec apparently. Budget is around $1300 Australian. (As noted I dont play BF3, COD, WoW) I love FPS's in general, just can't stand the online cheating so prefer single player games...
Hello there,
(Apologies if this is in the wrong forum)
I am going to put together a new system. This time, in one go, rather than adding and replacing parts over the years.
Currently I am using a DellT3400 with a Radeon HD7700 series card.
Yeah, I know. But it plays FarCry3 at Max on a 1680...
