Mouse 302 January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 What's you're total budget for this endeavor? For a case, I got a Tesseract Deepcool(a bigish case that even comes with two exhaust fans) for $35 and it's pretty cool. Nabbed Sleeping Dogs, looks like Green Man does keys as well because that's how they gave it to me(it did work, BTW) $1200. I would like to go with an i5 4690k with two r9 290s running in crossfire, but by the time I start building it some new processor or GPU will come up. Cases, on the other hand, don't become "outdated" as quickly so might as well start looking now... ^ don't listen to this guy ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on what software is being used to encode the video and how that encoder is configured. However uncompressed video in particular of any kind takes up an obscenely large amount of space.

Plageius 263 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Hey guys, since we all seem to own the same lot of games, why don't we arrange some sort of skype call and play them together? I'd personally be down for BF4 and CS:GO if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

\/ 651 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 I shall forever be in shame of the Great Builds by those here, for my seven year old log will never match even a fraction of your great power. Behold, the PC! The most glorious gaming device ever! Any advice on what kind of computer to buy for running the average game at under $900? Enter the Forest...

King 5,625 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Thought Id post something about my upcoming PC build. Its not completely finalised since I need to do a little research, but It should give people a good idea of what PC I'll have in about 25 days time.CPU: Intel S1150 Core i7 4790K 4.00Ghz Quad CoreGPU: NVIDIA GTX 980 4GBRAM: DDR3 16GB (2x8G) G.Skill 1600MhzHDD: 1TB WD 3.5" 7200rpm SATA 6Gb/sSSD: 120GB Samsung 2.5" 840 EVO Series SATA 6Gb/s SSD Drive Monitor: 24" Benq GL2460HM LED MonitorThats all the important stuff at least.The total cost of the entire build (including things not listed here) is $2704. I'll be forking that over towards the end of this month and should have everything set up by March 1st.Some of you may notice I only got a 1TB HD. The reason for this is that Im mainly using this set up for gaming, and I don't leave all my games from steam installed. Only the ones I actively use. This saves on space quite a bit.In addition to that, I have a TB external for my uni work, so I don't need to store that on my PC since I already have it both on my external HD and the PCs at Uni.All in all, I wanted to fork over for the best PC I could build within my price range so that I wouldn't need to upgrade any time in the near future. 3 Goddamn right, you should be scared of me Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celli 4,338 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 My parts came! Aaaand I have to get through 4 hours of pushing carts in 1/2 an inch of packed snow to go home and put it together. Not fun. I'll post a picture of the finished build tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long gone 8,929 February 2, 2015 Share February 2, 2015 Please share when you're done!Anyway, I was wondering if I could squeeze an R9 285 into a sub-$650 PC. This is what I came up with. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HwcC99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

long gone 8,929 February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 Will they roll out their first ever working GPU driver with this new tech? No, but it might mean that dual GPUs can use their full, advertised RAM instead of just half of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mouse 302 February 4, 2015 Share February 4, 2015 http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np9752-clevo-p750zm-eta-jan23-p-7850.html So Sager just launched this laptop with a full desktop i7 4790 CPU in a 1.4 inch body. Would this CPU really be able to run at its top clock speed of 4.0 ghz without overheating like crazy? It almost seems too good to be true. If it does manage it, however, the apparent user-upgradeability seems like a huge plus, assuming one can get a hold of a mobile GPU and assuming GPUs released two or so years down the road would be compatible with the current setup... ^ don't listen to this guy ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
