dont waste money on 690...unless you are absolutely sure you are okay with a dual GPU card
780 is significant slower but does the job well for 1440p....bigger faster chip and has a 1GB more VRAM (remember 2+2GB on the 690 still means 2GB)

Not that it really matters but does anyone have any preference for...

Asus 24F1ST 24x SATA Drive vs. a Samsung 224DB 24x SATA Drive

Asus costs like 2 dollars more over the Samsung but I can't the difference other than the brand?

they already released a Thunderbolt version for the Z77 Delxue last year...it was like $200 more than the regular Deluxe cost just a bit south of $500

so unless you need it professionally (photography/video edit for work) I wouldn't bother

and hot damn...those gold coloured VRM heatsinks are ugly as fack haha

Hey, has anyone used an Intel NUC or the Gigabyte equivalent? I'm interested in making a mini system for use with the TV, and another one for my girlfriend. It's either one of those or a Zotac Dbox.

Ended up buying the 550d, 650d wasn't in stock.

It is very quiet and i love the designs of corairs!

First time swapping/building it, was fun and learned some things!

yeah,good idea....unless I'm going to be editing 4k epic red camera footage i don't think i need it,it was only because i wanted to future proof much as possible...whenever usb 3.0 becomes the normal,which i don't think will...64gb usb 2.0 vs 3.0 .....i think people will go whats cheaper & say "ahh i got time".

I'm gonna buy a 4770K for my gaming rig. Should be just as fast as the 4960X, but a third the price and way more power efficient

Yeah I know what youre saying..I was in the same position considering TB...mobo/cpu/ram is what you'll upgrade the least so it's smart to get something that's gonna last

750D is coming...dunno if if it's worth waiting for (supposedly revealed at end of this month)

So with your guys help I build a pretty solid computer for basically one game and one game only.....
well game just came out, and it's an unoptimized piece of shit performance wise, it has both the company SEGA and NVIDIA rushing to push out the first of what I expect to be many patches for this game....
to quote the text from the thread itself... just one of the many issues happening with the game, this is on high graphic settings btw for some people... shit, should these guys look like zombies even on low settings for fcks sake, lol

Any thoughts on the AMD FX-8350 Processor?

I am looking to upgrade my PC which is currently an AMD Phenom 2 X4, so really anything is an upgrade.

Any recommendations on a board to pair this with?

Thanks

A good alternative to Core i5 overall but uses a lot more power and gets hotter.
