PC Gamer

it only has multiplats and indie games

you'll miss out on half the games this gen especially good console ips

you do have rift though, for the same thing though, multiplats and indies.

Tell me what games you are building a PC for.

Are you actually doing this because there are games you want to run better/to play PC exclusives/to just have a more open ended system? Or are you building it for no reason only to come back here a month later and cry that "/v/ tricked me with memes!!" Ask yourself that first.

>>322952315
Also I should add, do you actually need an entire new gaming PC? Or could you just upgrade the one you have now?

This, don't know why people recommend logical increments to people who obviously don't know shit. They're not gonna that you don't need an SSD and that you don't need a 100 dollar case. This is why people think building a PC and gaming on PC is expensive, because of retards making these retarded guides.

Is a nvidia 960 2gb enough for gaming????

What's a good build for a gtx 980?

A gtx 980 costs more than 500bucks

>>322963851
Technically. But you really shouldn't skimp on the GPU of all things. Get a 970 at least. Or something AMD if you're willing to deal with the inevitable troubleshooting issues you will occur.

>>322966184
Nothing that's worth what's probably extra download and install GB.

>>322965594
Buy a 390, it absolutely destroys the 970

>>322965817
Yakuza possibly.

>>322966554
It has a clock range from 3.3 to 3.9 GHZ...Is it enough?? I heard I7 are not that important for gaming

God Eater 2.
Ace Combat 7 likely will, seeing as it's a Namco title.

A SE employee has said Nier Automata may come to other systems, but I'd not worry too much about the word of someone from the western branches.

they're not

>>322966941
>Not with the emulators

That's the CPU's, not the GPU's.

>>322966790
It's more than enough. I've been on a 3.3 ghz CPU for ages and have never had any problems running anything.

>>322966823
Can't find it for any less than 340€ (~$365) here, I'm already pushing my budget to the highest

>>322966607
Cheapest I can find is 500€

>>322966790
Fucking huge waste of money.

>>322967037
But I7 have the Hyper Threading function!

>>322966914
It's for the virtual ram you download

>>322966914
Yea, some mobos support 200+. But those are for servers.

>>322966493

>>322967530
Is the Hyper Threading amazingly powerful with gaming?

>>322967535
>390x is a meme

390x is an AMD GPU, senpai

So basically with an
i5 6600 (not K)
GTX 970 4GB (not OC)
RAM 8 GB
I can play to everything? Also latest steam release?

>>322957760
same tower here. can confirm. it sucks cause dust will get stuck in between the treads on the side and is a bitch to clean out.

>>322967927
You need at least 32GB of RAM otherwise games like Wolfenstein will never fit in your computer

>>322967927
Yes. Honestly though, I'd recommend doing a ton more study before considering buying anything. Take your time, don't rush things.

>>322967927
Of course. That's more than adequate for anything you could possibly want to play.

I would recommend getting 16gb of RAM for future proofing sake, though. Even though it isn't really necessary for much of anything currently.

>>322966817
but how can he afford them with all this new cuhrayzee gaming gear

>>322967927
RAM isn't expensive and I would go for 16GB, you'll need it for future console ports because you can bet it will have shitty optimization. Also I would never ask for PC building opinions on 4chan.

>>322966823
970 equivalent is the R9 390.
The 390x is noticeably better than the 970, but is also bellow 980.

>>322965594
>gtx970
>4GB
Pick one

>>322967927
I see some people advising more RAM but you shouldn't worry about it, 8 is good enough and it's very easy to add more if you need it

>>322968846
>you'll need it for future console ports because you can bet it will have shitty optimization.
What kind of fucking garbage have you played recently?

>>322969030
IIRC the 390x beats the 980 at 1080p, but falls short everywhere else

>>322969618
Well, we'll see when Pascal comes out and leaves Maxwell cards in the dust. Just look at the 780/780 ti, they've aged like wine haven't they?

>>322969176
None. But I emulate everything (helps a lot for GT4 on pcx2).

>>322969049
So what are i7 intended for?

GTX980 is kinda an exaggeration....never buy the latest product!

>>322969874
Marketting and heavy video editing.

>>322970081
But you have to with Nvidia. They cripple their old cards.

>>322969838
What will the Pascal cards retail at though? True but then I'm an AMD fag, r9 290s hasn't aged too badly either

i got this for $1k.

I have a less shitty gtx 750 1gb ddr5 to replace the current gpu.

had good luck with shitty games like starcraft 2 and csgo

>>322969618
Not sure, but you're probably right. 1440p is still better on the noVidya side, 4K is "unplayable" with even the great 980Ti having problems keeping up a consistent frame-rates on graphical intense games.
I got a R9 390, I only game at 1080p, so it's perfect for me. Replaced my old, but awesome, 5770.

>>322969874
Believe it or not there are activities more CPU-intensive than video games such as media-editing... the list goes on

>>322970408
Why would you pay 1k for a PC with a i7, but then skimp out on the GPU? Unless you do video/image editing, you really messed up your budget.

>>322970428
Same I only use 1080p so a 390x with an i5 4690k should be more than enough to cover the next few years. Till the Pascal cards come down in price at least

>>322970408

Here is your advice.

Don't get suckered into expensive gaying RAM
AMD/ATI is cheap for the power but will inevitably fuck you over with bad drivers and bad optomization thanks to Nvidia shady back room deals
ASUS or Gigabyte Mother board
Power supply Corsair, Seasonic, Antec
GPU manufacture ASUS, MSI, NEVER EVGA
Hard drive see image

>>322971778
Because it's Australia.16 gigs of RAM isn't exactly cheap here. I got my 8 gigs for $85 which is a really good deal. i7 is a waste of money.

>>322971375
I've already opened a computer, taken some things out and back in so I wasn't too worried but then I heard about static discharge and having to force the CPU in a little but not too much or it's fucked.

>>322971908
What's wrong with evga?

>>322972139

c uck strap more like. you literally just tap the inside of the case or anything metal and you're good to go

>>322972659
I don't want to take any chances when I've got thousands of dollars on the line.

>>322972752
Your choice, I guess.

>>322972102
You can always buy a anti-static bracelet. But honestly, I never had that sort of problems. My 2 mistakes I did in 6 years of building and tinkering computers, was putting too much thermal paste on my old Q6600 CPU and instead of it helping it dissipate heat, it was actually storing heat. Caused my PC to overheat, but I noticed it quickly and fixed it. The other one was a little cable that was blocking GPU fan, so to my surprise my GPU was at 96º, while playing Monster Hunter Frontier Online. I only noticed it because, usually, the GPU never even got to the 70ºs.
Just follow the guide and you'll be fine.

>>322957704

why do you NEED 16Gigs of RAM? do you even know what RAM is? probably not, only the whole "more means better"

get 8 and stick with it.

>>322967125

Well hookers can be relatively cheap but I don't think you could convince them to sire your child so you'd probably have to take the traditional romance approach which can get pretty costly. None of this includes the price of raising a child.

Further more there isn't even a guarantee they'll grow to be a PC gamer.

Good luck OP.

What are some manufacturers I should avoid when buying parts?

Windows 10 is fine, but no you did not do good

Yep, smooth as butter. The stock fans are a bit loud, but other than that everything is excellent. Looks great, too. Honestly, my favorite feature is that the drives are hidden behind a magnetic door in the front and the simple wire management.

I actually got angry reading their 900 dollar i5 build.

Really? The Enthoo Pro stock fans are practically silent.

in terms of price, or hardware?

I don't like the design, but I had to choose between a Dell with a good graphic card and a slim, shiny HP. At least it doesn't look like an alienware fuccboi-computer

Well, they're loud compared to my Noctua CPU fan, so I am a bit biased. They're also surprisingly louder than the shitty stock fans that came with my original Cooler Master case when I built my first high-end rig four years ago.

They're not mine. But yeah they look awful, should've been swapped out months ago.

Strange. The only fans I hear is my stock CPU ones and my three Sapphire 390 fans.

So /v/, is this the ultimate LAN gaming machine?

Would an Alienware Laptop be worth the buy, or is it the meme you're buying, not the hardware?
