Planning on it!

Hey guys need some help , I don't know much about computers anymore .
I need to upgrade my rig for bf4, and hopefully run 1080 in high to ultra settings

Current setup
Amd 1055t 6 core overclocked to 3.6
8g DDR 3
Crappy hard drive
5870 video card
Power supply I think is rated 850w
I'm just wondering if i should crossfire my card since the 5870 used is around $100 on craigslist
Or should I just buy a new card?. My budget is around $200.
Thanks in advance

New card is generally always better than crossfire.

For $200 you can get some pretty decent deals.

SkinnyPupp 10-03-2013 05:15 PM

You probably won't get ultra with a current gen $200 card.

I would say get a Radeon 7870 and run it in High or so. When Mantle comes out, you'll get a performance increase.

knocked my external hard drive to the ground from the desk and now it won't work just hear the drive clicking :okay:

SkinnyPupp 10-03-2013 07:59 PM

Replace it with an SSD ;)

I just got a UASP enclosure for USB 3.0 testing on motherboards (about $20).. With an SSD it runs at 440-450 MB/s read and write :megusta:

Only works in UASP mode in Windows 8, otherwise it's a standard USB 3.0 drive, running at 250 MB/s or so

StylinRed 10-03-2013 09:34 PM

i need lots of space its a 4tb drive

got the drive over the summer so i guess there's a warranty on it

Still testing PSU. Will do cable management + hide the HDD/SDD and order some LED lights soon!

Also looking into getting H100 in the future to see overclocking potential.

System I built for a friend.. He was 100% a console gamer until now :fuckyea:

http://i.imgur.com/Bb9LVzz.jpg

Core i7 4770K
Gigabyte Z87M-D3H
MSI GeForce 780 GAMER
16GB Crucial DDR3 1600
Intel 520 240GB (Windows, apps)
Intel DC-S3700 800GB (Steam)
Corsair H60
Corsair CX600M
Cooler Master Silencio 352
Asus Xonar Phoebus Solo (added later)

And yeah I didn't spend much time cabling. Nobody will see it though, and there is sufficient airflow from the front.

one thing I don't like about this case is I can't remove the SSD easily.

I have a similar setup, the same 800GB, a 480GB, and a 240 GB :sweetjesus:

twitchyzero 10-06-2013 01:12 PM

what programs are you running that require 1TB?
i mean i dont need 20 games installed at once

SkinnyPupp 10-06-2013 06:02 PM

I don't need to have 20 games installed either, but it's nice to be able to :)

knight604 10-06-2013 07:32 PM

Crucial M500 Solid State Drive SATA III, 240GB at Memory Express

anyone need?

SkinnyPupp 10-06-2013 07:33 PM

IIRC the M500 doesn't hit full speed until you get to 512GB

Mr.HappySilp 10-06-2013 10:28 PM

Looking to a 2nd monitior.
Any good suggestions?
Doesn't need to be big or super expensive (around 19 to 22inch is good enough). Mostly for when I am programming or need to have 2 doc open at the same time. Currently using a 24inch right now. Thinking of getting a Dell P1914S since I can turn it vertical.

Before upgrading to a better card, should consider if the current psu can handle it
