New Machine: Preparing for Oculus Rift

Hmm is AMD's "pascal" competitor slated for launch this year? Maybe I look for a used 290 or 390 until the new AMD?

New Machine: Preparing for Oculus Rift

Question: is there any reason to AMD over Nvidia? Is there any reason to splurge on the forthcoming dual GPU cards (e.g., Nvidia: double gm200's)? Starting to get lost in this aspect as well!

Z170 vs X99

Thanks for the reply Dave. I am trying to decide if I should build now and just buy GPU later when pascal comes out, or wait and build the whole thing at that time. Currently split on whether its best to go 5820k overclocked on x99 or 6700k on z170; concerned if I wait for pascal the...

Z170 vs X99

Hi all, I read somewhere that x99 does not take advantage of bandwidth of four channels unless you have four dimms present in the board, is this true? I am trying to discern pros and cons of z170 vs x99. I've been out of rig building for awhile, and trying to look for less obvious...

New Machine: Preparing for Oculus Rift

Dang guys, I didn't even think about GPU product cycle... Maybe best to wait for pascal and build then, and maybe by then Skylake comes down in price? Or is the 5820 so great that it's worth avoiding the new Skylake chipset/ram altogether?? Thanks!

New Machine: Preparing for Oculus Rift

My brother has enlisted my nerd ways to build him an oculus rift machine in anticipation of the consumer hmd this spring. I am settled on a GTX 980 or 980 Ti; probably 16gb Ram (type and speed depending on CPU and chipset). I am a little stumped on what would be an appropriate CPU...

New HTPC Build: Passive Cooling Only?!

New HTPC Build: Passive Cooling Only?!

appreciate the reply.. Anyhow, my thinking was passive for less noise, but also less power useage. There's a new core i3 coming out at 35W TDP. It only has the intel HD 2000 graphics though, so I'm not sure how good that is for future's sake. Core i3 2100T If I can go fanless on the...

Hot? HP 1035n Netbook - $404 at Circuit City B&M - YMMV

I've been torn between this netbook and the lenovo s10. The s10e can be had for $299 right now, so that may make this deal a bit less sweet, but I still like the HP... great keyboard, great simple build, nice looks, VERY slimline (might be the slimmest right now)

Best 17-19" LCD

i've read around and the 2001fp looks pretty sweet if it could be had for 750+tax. my only concern would be its native resolution being 1600x1200, wouldn't lower resolution gaming looks blurry?
