Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB 2X4GB
Coolermaster 7870 PCS+ Tahiti LE
Intel 330 240GB SSD
2TB 7200RPM Western Digital HDD
Blackmagic Intesity Pro
Fractal R4 w/ Window
??? PSU (Still need to choose one)

Will mostly be playing games on this, streaming/recording console gameplay, video and photo editing.

Samsung 840 pro SSD! not intel 330.

Thanks again for the input guys. And yes I did mean to say Powercolor instead of CoolerMaster :P.

Hmm if the Intel 330 is actually not that good I might just stick it into my Macbook(was my original plan with it anyways). I will look into the 840 Pro and the HyperX instead.

What do you guys think of this 650W PSU?

AMD Addresses GPU Roadmap Rumors - Still No New Desktop GPU Silicon

:fulloffuck:

StylinRed 02-15-2013 08:39 PM

yeah i read on some forum where people are saying amd is too busy with the new xbox and playstation and sea-island isn't going to be released until 2014 sometime

that's soooo lame


that is unless they cut prices by 50% hmmm maybe? :badpokerface: that'd be awesome ;)

I still have it in my cart with the sales price and have been going back an forth on whether to buy or not.

again...if it meets you satisfaction at the res you play...I would save

AMD pricing is really fair right now...if they push out GCN refresh that's only 20% faster than 7xxx cards then they would really have to undercut the current line-up

edit: oh snap...7970 will remain their fastest single GPU card. May be they really are focusing on consoles this year. Nvidia already posted record profits this year too

I'm getting the HX650 instead. It's not completely modular but I've read it's almost the same as the AX650.

I'm also intrested in the ASUS IPS screen that's a few days after. Hopefully it'll come in around the $299 mark. The slim bezel looks awesome.
