EPTThe game's not graphically intensive - i reach 500fps or so without maxing my 770 with the game maxed aside from shadows - so a 750 can run fine. All you need is a CPU that can handle 1-2 threads well (even a Haswell pentium) and maybe nvidia GPU has fps advantage because cpu bound, but i have not tested LoL.

1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 @24Hz, 24bpp/ 2560x1600 @60Hz, 24bpp/1920x1080 @60Hz, 36bpp 1 x DisplayPort, supporting a maximum resolution of 4096x2160 @24Hz, 24bpp/ 3840x2160 @60Hz, 24bpp I'd like to run them at 5120x1440. Is that going to work with one using displayport and the other using HDMI? I don't really understand the numbers but it looks like I can do that at 60Hz with those two cables? | ||

Yes you can run a monitor off each. | ||

The monitor doesn't support full resolution over HDMI at 60 Hz. Most or many, especially older models, don't support those kinds of resolutions over HDMI yet. edit: ref newegg customer reviews, tftcentral Do you have a graphics card, or are you only running off of the onboard graphics? | ||

Running off of the onboard graphics. The computer isn't going to be doing any gaming unless I later decide to buy a videocard to toss into it. I'm just wondering if it will be fine if I use an HDMI cable to connect it because the DVI doesn't support that high of a resolution. Curious what the side effects and potential problems are. | ||

Edit: Also, I would have the displayport monitor as my primary and the HDMI as the secondary. | ||

The DVI ports may have the pins but those aren't actually wired and are just there for compatibility sakes. | ||

http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=567 Same with this Force card according to this review: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/force3d-radeon-hd-4870-512mb-dht-review,6.html Edit: Plugged in the videocard and it seems to be working flawlessly. Both monitors are at 2560x1440 and 60Hz. That is such a relief. | ||

Building a new gaming PC, I was buying parts as they went on sale but kinda wanna finish it. Budget wise I'm not that limited, can spend some money and I want it to be "futureproof", but nothing crazy. I know i7 I bought is an overkill and it's still in the box in case there's a good deal on the new i5+motherboard combo, most likely will keep it though So far I have 850W bronze modular PSU, i7-4790K, and a gigabyte z97 gaming 5 motherboard, can be found here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128709 1. If you can suggest other parts it would be great, but I mainly need help decided on which ram to buy. This is on sale right now @ 2x 8gb for $142, but I don't know anything about RAM. Is this a good price/fit? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231486&Tpk=20-231-486 2. I would like to sell my old computer. core i7-920, 6gb ram, gtx 295, 1tb hd, 64gb SSD, new 750W psu, gtx 295. How much can I try to sell it for? I can also slap an r9 280 in it if you think it will be easier to sell 3. Also with PSUs, which one would it be wiser to keep, 750W gold rated or 850W modular, but bronze rated? both are here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371073 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371067 I plan on buying a high end video-card, at least GTX-770, or a second r9 280 if I can sell the one i have now. Sorry for so many questions and thanks in advance | ||

But if you already have the Antec High Current Gamer then you might as well keep it. But if you don't have it yet, you shouldn't be looking at either because there are a lot better units out there like the Rosewill Capstone M, XFX XTR, and EVGA Supernova G2, just to name a few. 1333MHz is slow for a high-end build, you should be looking at at least 1866MHz, if not 2133MHz. And 2x8GB would be practically useless in gaming. | ||

USA If you have any retailer preferences, please specify. newegg/amazon I can return Antec PSU, it's still unopened. I got it for $60AR, thought it was a good deal;p so for RAM I should look for 2133mhz 2x4gb? | ||

No real reason for the mobo. Just grabbed the mobo/cooler from Myrmidon's post. On July 05 2014 12:13 Myrmidon wrote: It's maybe slightly better for overclocking on average and runs cooler. This means you could get a lower-end cooler or save some noise levels, probably. To be honest, the motherboard you already had selected is pretty expensive anyway.
