New build

[sir-drek]

Long time, friends.

I'm finally in a position to look into upgrading my computer which is wayyy overdue. I'm currently running free hand-me-down parts from my old room mate.... War Z gets 18 fps FFS.

This is what I'm planning:
Case: Antec Eleven Hundred
Bought - CPU: i5 3570 (former choice AMD FX 8350)
Bought - RAM: Mushking Redline (Frostbyte Edition) CL7 DDR 3 996981
GPU: Radeon HD 7870
MB: Not sure (formerl choice Asrock 970 Extreme3 AM3+, gunna be returned)
Bought - HDD: Samsung P840 Pro 256gb
Mouse/Monitor/Keyboard etc: Keeping Same

Edit: updated, going balls deep in intel

Check out the link in my sig, don't like to overclock? Otherwise the 3570k is better bang for the buck and is on sale on Newegg.ca

Case: Cool Master HAF 932

I know you said sleek mid-atx, but fuck that shit and get a HAF932

 

[sir-drek]

Ya glocky I was checking out that thread

 

[Pyro]

all you need is a HAF-932 and you are golden.
maybe invest in a ssd as well for epic load times.

so u tellin me u been playing without us ?!

For mobo, since I am presuming you're not overclocking since you have now listed the 3570 but not the 3570k, any decent mobo with the features you want will do. In no particular order : AsRock, MSI, ASUS or GIGABYTE

A little, at weird times like 8 am.

And glocky, yeah probly not going to OC. Right now the 3570 is $30 cheaper than the K, but it's on sale. When I actually buy the cpu and the 3570 isn't on sale anymore, I'll grab the 3570k since it'll be $9 more

wtf dude, the board and CPU you have are already tight as a virgin clam. would be dumb to get rid of those, you must have a shitty GPU because the problem is definitely not the other hardware.

actually no, please upgrade and mail me your FX kthx

love, Sal xoxo

 

[sir-drek]

Sorry sal, I edited the post poorly. What I meant was my original choices to upgrade to were those items, then I decided to go intel.

 

[sir-drek]

I got a gtx 460 for ya, worked fine for me, I just wanted to spend some money and decided to upgrade

 

[sir-drek]

You're a generous man HBC, however I am going to wait until next pay and probly get a 670 . I love 3 paycheck months

 

[halfbakedchef]

as do I, I got one coming in April. You could save yourself some money and get the 660 or 660ti. I love mine

 

[sir-drek]

I'm gunna end up with the 3rd pay + bonus from work so fuck it, going for it lol

 

[halfbakedchef]

In that case get the 690 with the built in water jackets

 

[Low Budget]

Buy this cheap gfx card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...SNC-YouTube-_-NETV-_-WklDSfCcIOc-_-14-130-909

 

[halfbakedchef]

The 650 has aids, I see that have the geforce titan, :0
read the specs while your on the toilet so you don't shit your pants.

 

[OG buckshot jr]

titan's a scam, shit performance for the money. Also, the 670 is way better than 650/660. Get her, she's a dream!!
