But you haven't used an Nvidia card before you had an AMD card, right?

Nope, I haven't. This is my first build, and like I said, no problems with my 270x

Well that explains a lot!

What do you mean, that explains what?

It seems to occur mostly for people who previously had Nvidia cards.

I'm not going to be that asshole that accuses people capable of using end-end hardware of forgetting to remove old drivers but....

Bought an aftermarket CPU cooler and some Cablemod cables just now, can't wait until they get here.

[Celli 4,337]

I'm not  fanboy of either company, and I'm not going to bash AMD or Nvidia for making bad cards, because they both make solid hardware. Like I said, I'm gonna get a 970 next. I'll stick with intel for CPUs for now, though.

Nice, what cooler did you get?

 Phanteks PH-TC14PE. Supposed to be as good as, if not better than, the Noctua NH-D14.

Think again. Not only did I remove the drivers, I went into my registry and cleared everything nvidia. Would you like a list of all the other stuff I've done too or will that suffice?

Nice looking fan, and it comes with 2 fans instead of one, like the Hyper 212 EVO, which is what I have. Speaking of which, I'll probably add another fan to it soon.

Here's all of my steam games in a single Imgur album. It's big.

I'm actually thinking about installing a 3rd Hard Drive into my computer.  I have a 1TB drive(My main drive) and a 2TB Drive(My 2nd drive).  I wonder if a 3TB or higher drive would be perfect.

Then I honestly can't think of a damn reason your previous GPU should affect the new one that doesn't involve act of God and/or Satan.

Got my GTX 760 to overclock! Tried flipping the other switch on the back of it and it worked! The only problem is now the fans are incredibly loud when I game with an overclock applied.

Bought another fan for my Hyper 212,

it has LEDs!

Adjusted my fan curve, temps are a bit higher but noise is more acceptable.

I would go with one of those new 8TB drives. For your amazing pone collection.

So I got a proper CPU cooler now.

 

 

You see this thing? When this baby hits 4.7GHz, we're gonna see some serious shit.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

How much does that thing weigh?

[long gone 8,929]

I dunno, didn't weigh it. But it's pretty heavy.

i bet the snow will help cool it too

Well, I tend to keep my room a bit warm, and it's gonna warm up outside real soon so no, not really. Also, one of the fans was off-angle and it was throwing me off so I fixed that.

Guys, what would be a good build for $700? One of my buddies wants to build a PC, and his budget is $700. Any suggestions?

[King 5,625]

So I work on projects using Unreal Engine 4. I've been paying a subscription to it for over a year now. They just announced around about an hour or two ago that the engine is now free for everyone to use with only a 5% royalty fee if you sell your product that uses Unreal 4.

This is fantastic news for pretty much everyone. Good on Epic or releasing this. Gonna be nice to use the engine on my new PC.

Just installed some Cablemod cables <3
