The H100 would probably be a better choice either way though, changed to it.. | ||

All I'm looking for is being able to play dota 2 preferably on high settings (but medium works fine as long as it's silky smooth). Was looking at the GeForce GT210 1gb, it's only $60 NZD, and I really don't wanna spend more than 100 NZD on a card. Will the GT210 do what I want it to do? In short: Probably not. It's really really hard to spend $60 NZD on a card and get something worthwhile. For the most part, the haswell i5 igpu is going to be on par or better than any card that's less than $100 NZD. for around $110 NZD you can get an R7 240 which SHOULD be able to somewhat outperform your igpu. The R7 240 will be able to max out Dota on a crappy monitor, but on a 1080p monitor you would get 30ish fps. If you want to get 60 fps with max settings in Dota 2, something like a GTX 750 or an R7 250X would be closer to the mark, though I haven't used either of those cards. This price range is about $160-$200 NZD | ||

Pretty sure that thing is miles worse than your integrated graphics. NZ$ seems to suck. | ||

I was under the impression that skylake was superior to broadwell but you probably know better heh.. Nice to see the soundcard was a good pick guess i got lucky, i wasnt sure what cooler to pick so just yoloed it but ill go with the one you selected, does IT fit in my case btw? At work and the autocorrecting to swedish is brutal right now ill add more text later. For now, thanks Skylake is better but the current skylake processors don't have a stock cooler and the motherboards are really expensive so you end up giving a ton more money that may not be worth it in the end. Also, the current released stuff is mostly for overclockers. I think the main important thing about Skylake isn't the speeds but the features and peripherals. Right now, there isn't really any technology that really utilizes the new features that well. You can future proof but you got to shell out a ton more money when the performance gains over broadwell isn't that noticeable. | ||

Otherwise I mite just get the R7 250 If you mean GTX750 with GT750 (an X is missing) that would be very enough for dota, but check your psu like others said. 750 don't draw much power (max 55w) but your psu might be a crappy 200w workplace one. --------------------------------- www.pcworld.com It seems gtx 950 is out. Kewl.  I like that sweet spot cards. | ||

Broadwell is faster for gaming which is what he said he will use the computer for. The 1866 memory I picked has low latency and will make up for the lower frequency. I'm not at my computer right now but I'm pretty sure that you shouldn't go x99 platform with 5960x. Either pick broadwell for the strength in games or skylake for overall performance and the more modern features. The H100 cooler will for sure fit your case, Inet will mount it in the top. | ||

Broadwell was actually released after Skylake, only days ago. Making it the newest CPU, and the stronger one in games for the same price. Don't know about mobo for Skylake really, I got the Asus z170-a for mine but I don't overclock so you'll probably want to go for the pro version at least since you plan on doing that. Good luck with the build. | ||

Benchmarks don't lie: http://www.sweclockers.com/test/20908-intel-core-i7-5775c-och-i5-5675c-broadwell/13#content http://www.sweclockers.com/test/20908-intel-core-i7-5775c-och-i5-5675c-broadwell/14#content http://www.sweclockers.com/test/20908-intel-core-i7-5775c-och-i5-5675c-broadwell/15#content http://www.sweclockers.com/test/20908-intel-core-i7-5775c-och-i5-5675c-broadwell/16#content http://www.sweclockers.com/test/20908-intel-core-i7-5775c-och-i5-5675c-broadwell/17#content It seems to boil down to the 128mb L4 cache which other CPU's just does not even come close to, I hear Skylake is getting a lot of L4 cache in some of their upcoming non-K versions but I'm not entirely sure, up to 64mb iirc. At 1080p it doesn't make much difference, but if you play games that doesn't have the GPU bottleneck you as even the 980Ti will do today say for example StarCraft 2 which is most relevant in this forum then it's clearly a stronger option. | ||
