I am currently using an i5 4460 and a R9 280 Any Suggestions?

No solid state, tsk tsk

>>592369995
Would you recommend 128 GB or 256?

>>592370225
Crucial MX100 256GB is a great deal. Got one myself.

>>592370225

I've currently got myself a samsung 840 evo 120gb

my shit currently is
>GPU: Radeon R9 290
>CPU: i5 4690k

>>592370729 (Wanna post some pics?)
Isn't the Power consumption from the 290 kinda..... horrible?

Well, seems like i have to get a SSD now

>>592369693
>Dat cable management
>Dat shit behind your computer on the ground
>Dat dust in your pc

>>592369995
I'm the same, I have a lot of games so I'd need (well, want) a large capacity SSD and I can't justify spending that much.

>i5 4670
>8GB RAM (refuse to upgrade until prices drop)
>GTX 770 4GB

Apart from the atrocious loading times (haha yeah, the irony) DA:I runs smoothly at max settings (1080p @ 60Hz)

>>592370729
It never fails to amaze me why the fuck people have a 120gb ssd. Is that really enough for you? Or did you buy it years ago? Because these days they have 250gb for 10 dollar more

That power supply is a piece of shit, get rid of it or it will ruin everything else.

>>592371228
Go ahead. Do cable Management in a Revoltech Sixty 2.

>>592371348
Will do that

Install the games on a 2TB+ HDD and the OS + a few games on a 120-256GB SSD. This is not hard to figure out.

>>592371507
Maybe add ram to it it will work much faster than the default motherboard ram

Bought it about a year ago, still got half the storage left.

I use my 4TB HDD for my files.

>maxed out cs go, got 300 fps
lol, overkill

Nice part list ether way. You should really clean that mess of cables up though.

This probably means CX series, which is kind of meh and 500W would have been enough.

building mine in the next few months, worth the cash?

>>592372775
It's a beast. Mine overclocks like a boss too, 4.4 ghz at 1.2v. But i think that's just me getting lucky.

For gaming it's debatable though, 6 cores/12 threads is pointless for just that. Unless you're goging for some insane 3 way or 4 way SLI/Crossfire setup and you need the CPU bandwidth.

>>592372661
Oh maybe I enabled he fps_max filter. thanks a bunch dude!

>>592372650
I know it would have been enough, but it was the only one I could buy and it was cheaper to buy that than a 500w and have it ship internationally

>>592372422
As other people have said, cable management would definitely help the aesthetics. Other than that, its a great build

>>592372775
If you will only be gaming, an i5 is perfect. i7's are more for if you do a lot of video editing, streaming and multi-threaded tasks.

I'll be video editing as well as gaming, going to graphic design at uni too, so that will probably be more on the ram side, but wouldn't hurt for a beast cpu. It's only a fraction more expensive than the i7-4820k (if i'm not mistaken)

Thanks for the heads up though!

>>592374455
If you think its the power supply, try short circuiting the green lead (pin 14 i think if its all black) and a ground lead on the 24 pin and see if it turns on, if it doesn't then defs psu problem

>>592374455
Anything happen when you press the button? Lights turn on or fans spin?

>>592374572
I should also mention unplugging everything else from the pc as well before you try this!

>>592374631
Absolutely nothing happens
I'm pretty sure it's the PSU because the mobo and CPU are brand new and CPU failure will still result in fans spinning

>>592374736
Make sure you didn't do anything painfully obvious first. Then check that the motherboard and CPU power are plugged in well.

>>592374078
Have you tried the FX-8320E? I'm thinking about buying one, since it's far lower power consumption, and less heat, with roughly same overclockability

>>592371507
which noctua fans are those?

I am currently upgrading a 7 year old pc into a new one. Only have SSDs, SSHDs and RAM to upgrade. My Modular PSU is currently on the way.

Specs:
I7 4770k
XFX R9280X
6GB DDR3 RAM (Will be upgrading to either 8GB or 16GB)
Corsair H80 Watercooling kit for CPU as well.

Anybody know of any budget GPUs that I can shove into a media PC. Will also be used to stream DayZ (Standalone not mod) to my sisters laptop. It doesn't have to run it well, but as long as it's playable.

>ITT: nshittia gpu fanboys
OP you are alright

>>592375273
What brand did you have first? Corsair doesn't have an outstanding reliability reputation, that said I am using a Corsair Cx 430. Seasonic is what I always recommend.

>>592375097
The one on the CPU heatsink is the 120mm NF-S12A PWM

The 3 case fans are the 140mm NF-A14 PWM

>>592369693
suggestion: fucking clean your case midget

>>592375444

I just hope its not the mobo that died

>>592375327

>i7

btw for a gpu for day z
it requires a 560 to play on decent settings but i think for a media pc you should get the gtx 650, for a good price it will stream, run, and do things in the background, i am NOT a nvidia fan but i have to admit they do make good budget cards

>>592374324

No, but the God damn I3s and Pentiums are better and use so much less power.

>>592375829
Except for when they're not. The 8350 power-wise is comparable to 4690k, of course it draws much more power since AMD. But don't spread shit like that.

Mythtv (DVR) server/NAS in the corner of the room. Pic is a little out of date, I've since replaced all fans with Noctuas (even on northbridge and raid controller).

Hi.

>>592376142
The Intel is a tad better, not really worth the price if you are just gaming, the GPU is what will make the biggest difference.
Once again, single threaded performance and the Intel wipes the floor with AMD.
Extreme gaming rig, go Intel, budget or general gaming, AMD and Nvidia.

>>592372076
So your 970 is OC'd and its at 32° stock cooling? Shiit.

Also why does noone say anything about the case? I can't tell by just looking ya know?

>>592376638
But single core performance is pretty much all that matters so a lower end Intel is better than 8 cores of shit.

Seriously i3s and Pentiums beat the 8350. Especially with power consumption considered.

PC-A76 RT. A bit bigger than I expected, but it really was a breeze to get everything together. I thought they didn't make it anymore but apparently it's in stock at a certain store.

>>592376385
I was laughing when I dropped it in. I bought the case, drives, and controller -- the rest was spare parts from an older build. And the system doesn't do very much except record cable and serve files.

>>592376907
Single core performance in gaming doesn't mean shit. Games always use more than 1 core unless you are playing an ARMA game or DayZ, because the engine used to make them is a steaming pile of shit.

>>592376653
That Case looks so custom, it must have been expensive?

>>592374078
Does it get hot? Might go AMD/Gigabyte instead of Intel/Gigabyte

It is a Thermaltake SpinQ VT.
It looks pretty cool, but doesn't offer much over a stock cooler to be honest, maybe 5 degrees.
Also, the fins have become very tarnished, because I live in a very humid place.
I would like to be able to coat it black somehow, I was thinking getting it anodised, but then I thought bugger it, I will just get a closed circuit water cooler sometime instead.

I'm in Brisbane and the biggest problem I've found is a combo of dust plus high humidity.
Dust gets in, sits on things, humidity goes up and that dust gets all damp, then starts to cause corrosion.
My old case died because of that, and it started killing my cpu cooler too.

Got them when my GFs grandma died, they sound great with anything that isn't electronic and look super fancy. Love em :D

If you have the budget and seriously concerned with noise / temps go with corsair H55 for $80.
Can't go wrong.

>>592379813

Positive air pressure = less dust. More fans blowing air in = less dust. Better air flow = less dust. Tidy cable management = better air flow.

Basically build your build well and keep a lot of air inside your case and you'll be fine.

>>592380844
When I upgraded my cpu and ram, I sold off my old ones, less than a year old. I don't see any harm.
Looking to sell two 2tb hard drives at the moment, so I can upgrade the hdds in my NAS.

Already have the Nanoxia Claw. Will be ditching it ASAP for something worth at least 150 before shipping. Really want a good quality case but my starting budget was a bit small and I'm not even done with parts yet.

Too old for that shit.
But loved my Thermaltake Mozart case.
I was too lazy years ago for watercooling.
Now no one need that shit...

>>592380844
Depends on your budget... whatever you go for, go dual channel with your RAM. As for the used parts - maybe ask around in your family and friends. I sold quite a few of my used Parts to my little brother or cousins, cuz they were still better than what they had.
The GTX 970 is great for prettymuch everything but coil noise. I've returned mine twice and twice got a new one with the same problem. This means i have to keep my moduVents on the R4 closed what means higher temps inside the case what then means that the fans cant fully turn off.
But if you are not too sensible with noise go for it, great GPU.

PS: I've read that the Zotac onces are the most unlikely to whine. Especially the upper two onces... dont know the names right now.

Quick question for people with Fractal's R4 case;
>Using H100i in the top of the case
>Case came with no filters for the top, only covers
>Dust is going to be pulled into an otherwise perfectly clean case
>need filter

Can anyone recommend a filter that is compatible with the case?

>>592381559
Is my CPU too shit? How many years until I need a new MOBO and CPU? I've only been using my rig a year and it's already starting to feel outdated hahaha

I've read about that whine on the 970s and how it can be controlled by changing the fans velocity slightly or something (on the EVGA cards anyway)

No one in my family to sell to unfortunately too, I guess I'll try mt local PC part store.

Software loads faster and searching for files is faster.

Silent operation, HDDs are usually the loudest component and they will not have to run constantly with an SSD in place.

Since we're all posting stats now...

Note that my system is built for minimum noise so all the fans prettymuch run at their minimum speed. Therefore i get a few degrees more.

PC parts tend to become obsolete after a year. Refer to Moore's Law.

i liked the g5 case so i took one of these and modded it.

most fans are noctua, the Powersuply is build in the orginal case with some 2x noctua 60mm fans

its a bit old, i7 3770K, GTX 770

was too short on money to make up a good HDD/cabel solution

>>592382377
Not at idle.

So for non gaming PCs, HDDs are the loudest.

Can the 3770K keep up with modern gaming is all I need to know though

Depends on the RPM of the HDD tbh. If you've ever had a 7200RPM HDD you can both feel and hear it depending on noise conditions.

>>592381993
Depends on what you are trying to do with your PC? Gaming => get the biggest GPU you can afford and you sould be golden.
Content creation => Get better CPU and Ram

Whatever you do dont upgrade your PSU even more... it's already oversized and therefore not optimal. Most people don't know that but putting a too big PSU in their rigs will actually increase the power drain.

He is calling anon underage since he is unfamiliar with something that was entirely typical only a few years ago.

>>592383432
It isn't. Most PSUs have max efficiency at around 50-75% load.

Getting a PSU that will only be at 30% load is therefore less efficient than getting one that will be in the optimal range.

You can overclock them slightly. Not as much as a K version though.

It doesn't matter if you push or pull, but if you go with both you can either increase performance at the same noise level, or get equal performance for lower noise.
