Why did you make your own topic  . You clearly had just been in the Computer Resource Build Thread... I know some people like to, I just think it's unnecessary.

Wait for new sale tonight.

Are you a wizard? damn clairvoyant. Watching linus every day doesn't even tell me that much.

That hard drive is brutal.
|
SSD imo a waste to get assuming you can get the HDD at that price. For the 113$ I'd rather upgrade to a 560 Ti or something similiar. IMO getting SSD is only correct for a 1000$+ budget.

Don't get a 64GB SSD. Go for the 128GB. I know it might feel like you can make that work, but it really is a very small amount of space. I bought and 64GB and it just isn't big enough. Bought a 128GB Crucial M4 last night actually.

I *totally* disagree. An SSD makes such a gigantic difference that I can't imagine recommending anyone making a new computer get anything else. Its just so worth it x_x

Starting a program faster is more "worth it" over having 40% more fps?

Those are bad because OP is from Canada and Newegg.com doesn't ship to Canada?
$510 combo is bad because there are less expensive and higher quality units than the Coolermaster.
$710 bundle is bad because it's a 2700k paired with a D2H. A D2H is highly unlikely capable of 5GHz+ and if you aren't going for 5GHz+ than why pay a $40 premium over the 2600k? You're also paying at least a $25 premium on memory for a one or maybe two FPS gain when this could be put toawards a better graphics card...
Not to mention the HDD is overpriced in both combos.
And both of those bundles aren't deals either since equivalent or better components can be had for the same total. The bundle discount is only helping with the poor selection and overpriced components to make it seem not as bad.
|
Newegg bundle deals are retarded. They had a potentially promising looking Shell Shocker this morning with like a $60 discount, until you realize that they're pricing the 500GB spinspoint 7200RPM HDD originally at $115... doesn't look so hot then.
|
do you all suggest skyR's build?
Thanks btw 
|
DVD burner is out of stock and hard drive price rose (didn't check the price matches, which may be worse now because you waited). skyR almost always finds the best deals and puts together parts that make sense for the intended usage and price point. Aside from changes in the past few days, yeah, that's what you want.
|
id say go with skyR's build, he knows what hes doing. Also, try to just get an ssd for storage if you use less than 120gbs (like me =D), cus HDDs are expensive as hell right now after the flood
|
|
|
The Crucial M4 is an SSD. Functionally, you use it like any other storage drive, except that it's a lot faster.
(Hint: install the operating system and commonly-used programs on that, such that they can load a lot faster, and create temp files / write stuff / do background things a lot faster as well)
If you would rather just use the hard drive for everything, you can leave out the SSD.
|
Yeah I rather use the HDD for everything and use that 120$ for other parts
|
There's not much you can spend the $120 on when you aren't overclocking and not playing at 1080p.
|
you can buy a 1080p monitor for $120 or change the graphics card to GTX 560 Ti as it's still going to improve your experience in 1680x1050 and going to help for the future as well.
Or you can just save the money, a valid choice as well.

Why are you getting 2500k if you aren't overclocking? Why are you getting such an overpriced mobo? Why aren't you getting the i5 2400 instead for much cheaper?
Why would you pricematch a cheaper 6850 with a costier one? Confused.
What I'd do: Buy a hyper 212+ or something similiar and change the mobo to a cheap P67, you're already paying a lot for a mobo and P67 is going to have all those features anyway.

CPU about 160w max heavily overclocked to like 5ghz, 6850 about 120w max, rest of the stuff maybe 20-30w, and this is in max stress.

XFX Core Edition is manufactured by Seasonic and it's the exact same design as the Corsair TXv2. If you consider XFX bad than all the Seasonic manufactured Silverstones and Corsairs are also terrible.
If you want to waste money on an unnecessary power supply than you're welcome to.
Mushkins run at 1333MHz 1.5v
HyperX runs at 1600MHz at 1.65v
If you want guaranteed 1600MHz for 1 FPS than you're welcome to but Mushkins will easily run 1600MHz at 1.65v and can probably do at 1.5v as well.

Well since I have no idea how to overclock my RAM then I might aswell get the HyperX

Just my 2 cents, If you arent planning on overclocking, Why would you buy a 3rd party heatsink that most likely voids all your warranties? You could spend that 55$ on a better GPU or HD etc..

Realize it runs at 1333 by default?

what the.. no it doesn't. Though I agree it's silly to buy an alternative heatsink if you aren't overclocking unless it's a quiet solution designed for stock.

http://www.geforce.com/Optimize/OPS/Starcraft-2-GeForce-GTX-460-OPS I know it's not the same card as you want but its comparable to the gtx 460. As you can see, with your resolution, you will play at 70 fps average on the highest settings which is more than needed ( 60 fps is the max an eye can feel a difference). But in 4v4 you will def not get that fps but for the card you are good. Might want to get a better PSU, 450 W seems a bit low. The CPU is perfect same with the ram and you found an amazing price for the hard drive. So if you want to add a little bit more money, go for an upgrade on your mobo or gpu. Good luck.
|
how is 450W low when his system uses maybe 280W under extreme load? Please tell me

I know how to overclock my cpu, I can read up on overclocking gpu/ram I guess, but I'm just to lazy to.. I will eventually.
Anyway, so the build is good, nothing to be changed? And I've been looking for a case around the same price that is nicer, but how do I judge whether how good a case is?
