Title: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Panos_ on July 27, 2014, 11:45:27 am
So, after a long 10 year run, my current pc is ready to die.

At the end of August, I`ll receive a good bonus, so I`m thinking investing into a new computer, I did some playing with the customization that cyberpowerpc has, and this is what I made


Case : http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/spec/getspec.aspx?n=CAS&g=1&sid=CAS&pid=CS_OBSIDIAN250D&v=Corsair%20Obsidian%20250D%20Mini-ITX%20Gaming%20Tower%20w%2F%20USB%203.0%2C%20Top%20Window%20Panel

Well my PC died down a few weeks ago so I'm also gathering this type of information.

... I don't have spare cash for a new rig however, =(

Could be useful later on, though, I'm out of date like 4 years behind the tech.

Post by: Prpavi on July 27, 2014, 12:28:05 pm
Looks good, the only thing I'd recommend is nVidia GTX 770, worth it, it will last you longer, you could take a cheaper mobo no problem and get a better gpu

Videocard is shit tbh, you should focus on videocard first, you don't need i7 CPU with shitty videocard, just saying.

Panos - is that PC for gaming only?

Cus I've updated my system recently - spent like 1k, but now it kicks ass - and the hardware's better than yours :O.

Also, don't forget to buy a new keyboard!

Yeah a GTX 660 is absolute bullshit. He should buy a 999$ worth GTX Titan to be able to play everything on ultra 100+ fps because that's the whole of point of existance isn't it.

God, these enthusiasts...

He obviously needs a workstation GPU for 3k-4k $  8-)

Post by: Dalhi on July 27, 2014, 05:28:40 pm
Well, I wouldn't say that GTX 660 is shit, but if you drop SSD, or 8 GB Ram (well you can upgrade those easly later)  he could get a GTX 770 wich might serve him well much longer than the gtx 660.
I suppose that PC is going to be used mainly for gaming so going for a bit more powerfull GPU would be nice addition, especially if he is going with i7.

Post by: Senni__Ti on July 27, 2014, 05:32:38 pm
Agree with above,
Switch down to a 4690k (i5) and switch the GPU for something better (GTX 770 is an option, look at the build I recommended lemon)

Atm you are going for a tiny case and motherboard, is this intentional?

Also, you don't need a 750W PSU, corsair is a good brand, but CX is their cheapest crap. There should be a 600W seasonic?
You'll also need a decent CPU cooler, the intel stock is shit. Go for a corsair H80i or w/e closed loop watercooling they offer (only decent thing that will fit in that tiny case).
And 16GB of RAM is overkill, 8 is more than enough for games.

Lemon's thread
http://forum.melee.org/general-off-topic/computer-build/

Very similar specs, should help.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Christo on July 27, 2014, 05:39:24 pm
Yeah I'd say don't go Micro-ATX (if that's what they are still called), saves a lot of stress and annoyances in general.

It's like working with a miniature, especially if you have got some giant cards added on top  :mrgreen:

If you are not into PCs then don't judge, please. We're here to help. And having a videocard worth of 200 bucks on a gaming PC with a budget of $1.5k is stupid. People above pointed it out.
Also, Panos, blu-ray drive is a thing that you'll never use.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Herezy92 on July 28, 2014, 11:51:43 am
don't take i7, go for i5.
And go for a better graphic card than this. GTX 760 is nice tbh.

Edit: and 128Gb is clearly not enough. Trust me especially if you play video games.

Are you going to build your own?
Or are you going to buy pre-built?

EDIT:
Either of These would be good.

Btw panos your powersupply could be cheaper and better 750W is quite some ... depending on the effeciency 650 Gold / Bronze plus is enough , but i guess ist too late for it :-)
Also i dont know if i should get better RAM up to 1866, i took it with the best userjudgement ... ;)

Post by: v/onMega on August 07, 2014, 08:58:37 pm
4690 k definetly.
Z97 Asrock Extreme 4 if you need loads of USB ports E-Sata etc. (If not? Dont spend more then 100 bugs on a MoBo)
770 is a must. Forget ALL brands apart from MSI or ASUS at the moment.
Their cooling is fucking massively superior, especially the MSI Twin Frozr ( its the noise I talk about)
BUY MSI.
Best bang for the buck SSD atm -> Crucial Mx100

I did some research, I am getting a new comp next month myself. This is the stuff you want.
I am getting the 780 Twin Frozr though :-). 1, 7 sone noise, overclocked and temp target far far away. Best 780 on the market, period.
Noctua D-14 will keep it all nice and cool.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Kafein on August 07, 2014, 10:57:26 pm
The only thing I would look at on a mobo these days is SLI/CF compatibility

I heard EVGA 7XX cards are good too, although not at a very competitive pricepoint.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: v/onMega on August 08, 2014, 08:49:13 am
See, I play sims and got external hdd connected.
6x USB 3.0 and 2 x front 3.0 is exactly what I need, cba with hubs like I have it now.
Plus the extreme 4 can do both.
E-Sata etc.

115 Euros for that sounds got to me. Comes down to your needs so research is required.

I have a Gaiward 770 and the temps are super cool, absolutely no problems, dunno if it's the case and the good airflow or the card itself but this is my 3rd Gaiward nVidia in a row and I've had absolutely no problems with them, they all ran perfect.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: v/onMega on August 08, 2014, 03:54:19 pm
Their coolers are awesome but loud as all hell compared to MSI.
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Senni__Ti on August 09, 2014, 07:11:03 pm
Twin frozr are nice, but ASUS and EVGA have much better warranties and tend to run just as cool (if not cooler for ASUS).

Honestly, the ASUS DCU II 780 is hands down the best card I've seen. I've got a stock 780 (MSI), when my friend asked me to spec his build, I got him a DCU II 780.

Mine runs about 77C with modified fan profile, 980MHz boost, stock memory.
His ran at 77C with modified fan profile, 1250MHz boost, 7000MHz memory, no issues at all.

Thing is a monster, starts with a pretty meh factory OC, but they all seem to be able to OC like beasts. (Read about 5 reviews with similar results, insane OC ability)
It's also cheaper than the EVGA alternatives and not much more than the MSI ones.

If I could pick all over again, I'd get an ASUS card or EVGA if I'm going SLI.
If I was going to WC, then probably ASUS. (unless I decided I was too lazy to put the block on and buy a EVGA classified hydro :P)

ASUS is most solid brand I've come across so far.

Because it's not that great (it's a low end gaming GPU).
It's one of the cards that can do 1080p, but not by very much.
As games get more demanding, you'll start to notice it will struggle.

Then again, if you don't plan on playing those games, no need to worry.
(I'm sure it'll be enough for MB II and M:BG)

It's got some nice specs, price isn't bad too.
880m is a nice card, CPU is solid, plenty of ram, HDD is a bit meh.
Pretty nice, not sure what the temps would be like in that case.

You'd get a better desktop for that money, but if you really want a laptop, that is a beast of a laptop.
880m is a tad slower than a GTX 760 for reference.

If you plan to do a tonne of gaming on it, I'd advise getting a desktop.

Gaming laptops run hot and die young (I have one :S), you'd need to clean out the heatsinks pretty regularly (every month or so) and check the thermal paste every 6 months or so (or whenever the temps seem to be really high).
Also get a laptop cooling stand, should lower the temps a bit, not too expensive. (And you won't have to place a burning laptop on your lap  :wink:)

Pretty sure that laptop is a clevo, so you should be able to take it apart relatively easily for cleaning. (Also to upgrade it later on if you feel like it, SSD etc).

Had my laptop for 3 years now, GPU died once just under a year after getting it, thermal paste had dried and cracked. Luckily the warranty covered it and they replaced it. I've replaced the GPU since then with a beefier one myself (no easy feat :|) and the RAM, HDD and CPU soon :P.

But I definitely prefer my desktop!



EDIT:
Just remembered, if anyone is buying a PC and can afford to wait till late september/early october, GTX 800 series should come out then.
Not saying they'll be much quicker (based on a 680 iirc), but they should cause GPU prices to drop nicely :D.

Because it's not that great (it's a low end gaming GPU).
It's one of the cards that can do 1080p, but not by very much.
As games get more demanding, you'll start to notice it will struggle.

Then again, if you don't plan on playing those games, no need to worry.
(I'm sure it'll be enough for MB II and M:BG)

Btw: palit cards are quite awesome too. I've got the 770 Jetstream, the 4gb version. And it kicks ass + is absolutely low temp.

Trying, but it's PSUs are super expensive, no good ones either :|.

(click to show/hide)

The cooler should fit in the case (152mm height against 210mm case width).
No OS, no HDD (you said you had one).

GTX 760 isn't bad, solid mid-range card.
However :P, 70 more EURO and you can get the palit 770. (864.69€)
The 770 would last longer in terms of performance.

The CPU can be OCed to ~4GHz hopefully with that cooler (good cooler :P), so it'll be roughly equal to a FX 8350, again roughly equal to a i5.

If you can afford it, I'd recommend the 770 over the 760, otherwise it's a pretty solid build.

I assumed you already have a dvd reader too. You could get a cheaper mobo, but I'll let someone more erudite discuss that. If you replace that awesome 770 with a still very good 760 you gain 70 bucks.

Pretty snazzy build nonetheless!

Mine is pretty similar, cept 780 and Z87 :p
Got it on release, what a stupid mistake that was :p.
No aftermarket cooler, terrible drivers for about 3 months and dat price QQ.

Trying to redeem myself by helping others :D

I think I'd call that extreme gaming, aren't many builds that can run a 4K above 30fps.
I consider multi-screen setups or 1440p gaming high end tbh.

4K just isn't feasible enough for gaming yet imo.
We'll see what happens next gen, currently 880 doesn't look like a huge performance increase, but it may be superseded by a Ti or something.

Actually 4K gaming at decent framerates is perfectly possible today if you get a multi-gpu setup and sacrifice on some graphical goodies, or play the right games. At 4K, AA isn't that big a deal, cheap methods will work fine.

Post by: Senni__Ti on August 14, 2014, 05:59:42 pm
It doesn't have to be any bigger than your average screen, you could just use 4k to increase the pixel density.

Not that 1080p isn't smooth and nice, but at higher resolutions clarity really improves :D.

EDIT:

Been doing some reading while bored at work (no fire pls)

Seems one of the best PSUs to get at the moment is a EVGA supernova G2 800W.
Just under £100, japanese capacitors, 10 year warranty(!) and around 90% efficiency.

The other versions have some chinese capacitors, the kind that like to go boom :o.

The 1000W P2 (not G2) version is all japanese again, 92% efficiency ~£140.

Both very good PSUs, tempted to get one myself if I ever go SLI :D

Swap the 4770k for a 4790k and the mobo for the z97 version. (if you haven't ordered yet :P)
Same price or may even be a little cheaper.
Also I think that broadwell (5XXX intel) will use the z97 1150 socket.

You can change your graphics card cooler?

Well, you can change it to watercooled, but they come with different ones when you buy them.
Like, is it an NVIDIA branded cooler? or is it ASUS or MSI etc.

Also, 780 prices seem to have dropped, not sure if it's the UK only, but I saw a Zotac 780 for £320. (just under 400 EURO according to google.)

Renay you do realise your gpu is a massive overkill compared to your monitor, I mean 6gb for a 1080p is a waste of money

Maybe he wants to upgrade his screen in the future, or needs a lot of VRAM somehow (graphics design etc.)

Yeah, I bought that with upgrading in mind. I don't wanna buy a new PC every 3 years, I wanna keep upgrading till I am forced to buy a new one. Screen is easy to replace, might get a new one next year or so, at the moment I am very happy with how my games look. It's a huge difference when you change to a high end gaming rig from a broken laptop :D

That one is nice but I'd rather skip the high end fan altogether and wait until you can buy a CPU closed loop watercooler.

Zalman CNPSX10 Optima should be cheaper and will work the same, but yeah that'll do fine.

Just make sure it'll fit in the case.

The difference is about 5C between a H80i and my Zalman CNPSX10 Optima (and I only have it in push atm, 1 fan).
Both are 4GHz 4770k (Mine and my friends)

I imagine the difference would open up at higher frequencies, but unless you have a tiny case or have the money lieing around, get the air cooler for now.

Liquid coolers do a better job at producing low noise, usually anyway. They also tend to be less bulky and do not mess up the airflow as much.

70C?!?

It shouldn't be anywhere near that hot with a H100i, is the fan working properly on it?
It should be around 60C if that; with a H100i, even with that OC and prime95.

I did some googling, seems to be a common problem :O
Seems to be either to do with the H100i either not being plugged in right, or loose backplate.
Orrr, it might be to do with the 4790k overvolting whenever it's using the AVX command set. (Derpiness by intel)

Does the corsair logo light up when it's on?
And does the fan spin?

70C is a completely acceptable temp for a prime95 torture test. No real application will ever require that much effort from the CPU, so it's not like you are going to reach 70C every day. The H80i's fan was probably stuck at low rpm or something.

Installing closed loops is barely more complicated than installing a fan these days. You just have to make sure there is a free fan slot in your case and enough space to fit everything in. A closed loop mean no leak, no stress and no headaches :D

I know i sounds hot :P i ran a torture test for 30 mins, max temp reached was 72, average temp about 63 on all cores. (realtemp) my casefans are low rpm (to lazy to setup a profile in my bios) and my room temp is about  25. The corsair logo does light up, but corsair link wont detect it (seems to be a common issue). the two fans are both spinning(push) the 3pin connector is plugged in to a fan header on my board (not the cpu one, cuz out of reach). The backplate is properly secured.
When i play games like BF4 on max settings my temp doesnt pass 55 (peak) and is about 45 average.
Idle temps variate between 29-33 on all cores.

You really don't get it do you? It's all about balance and logical increments (http://www.logicalincrements.com/). Inside a 1.5k rig, 200 euros for the GPU is on the cheap side, which means that the user would get a better experience by spending more on the GPU and less on the rest (downgrade CPU, PSU, case and whatnot). Inside a 700 euro rig, 200 euros for the GPU is reasonable.

I did that because I`m a player that cares more than the gameplay, rather than the graphics of a game (hence why I love c-rpg that much).

Since I've done a lot of research on parts lately, I guess I can provide some feedback as well.

RAM - your ram has 2400 Mhz and CL11, if it's for gaming you're better off with 1600/CL9
SSD - Not sure what the prices are where you're buying, but Crucial MX100's are the same SSDs but slightly cheaper
Rest is more or less preference I guess. Are you going to overclock? Because if not I think you can get a cheaper mobo.

This is what I in the end went with myself, I think it's a really good price/performance ratio setup:

Going with GTX 780 now? I was deciding between GTX 780 and R9 290, but in the end went with R9 290, because they're so-so in performance and in some cases, R9 290 is even better (higher resolutions), while R9 290 is considerably cheaper.

Seems solid polepoop.

SSD wise, Samsung evo is the best performance/price atm.
Every other brand seems to suffer from failures way too often to consider them atm.

They are getting better, but I'd just recommend samsung until I see some positive longevity data on the others.

The gtx 780 should drop in price soon.
If my sources are right, they gtx 880 should be unveiled 19th of sept. (Released a couple weeks later)

EDIT:
If you plan on 2 GPUS in the future, stick with gtx 780.
If you don't, then the R9 290 (sapphire Tri-X) will save you some money and run just as fast in most cases.

I need some help, next week I'm going to be ordering my PC parts.

I'm going to have a i5 4690k + GTX 770

Can anyone recommend a decent motherboard please also what GTX 770 do you recommend?

One last question, will the stock CPU cooler be good enough? I'm not going to overclock yet as I can't afford a decent CPU cooler.

EVGA / ASUS are the best brands nvidia wise imo.
I prefer ASUS, the DCU II cooling and their binning of the chips is awesome. (The ASUS 970 is on preorder on scan & Overclockers :/)

Stock intel cooler isn't great, these aren't expensive and are great.

Evo is thinner, I'd go for the zalman tbh.

Sorry to bug you, but I asked for GTX 770 not 970. I blame leshma though ;)

Thinking of getting this one today, this is currently £30 off.

 Would you reccomend the MSI or the ASUS  GTX 770?
Title: Re: New PC, suggestions and ideas.
Post by: Senni__Ti on October 03, 2014, 11:20:57 pm
They should be similar in price, I guess not with the recent price drop.
970 can OC to 780ti levels, 770 is much, much worse.

(Twin frozr isn't that great, it won't OC that well, but it will run quite and cool)
Wouldn't recommend getting a 770 at this point.

Just pony up for the GTX 970.  I'd offer you my old R9 270 but this AMD shit is pretty slow compared to the new NVIDIA cards

I guess I've fucked up lads but thanks a lot for the help in the thread.

I only had a £800 budget as I'm going on holiday to Thailand just after Christmas so I need save dat $$$

Here's what I've bought after looking at this thread, I got the things a few have recommended (CPU, CPU Cooler and motherboard).
How long do you guys think it'll be till I need to get a whole new system? 2-3 years?

Price is Ex VAT

Well with that system, you could get a new PSU and another 770 down the line, if you noticed it lacking powa.

Only thing I see going wrong with that build in 2-3 years is the PSU, everything else should last.
Good news is it probably won't take out your system when it goes :P. (Had a VX for about 2 years before it went gracefully)

Should be a steady 1080p machine for atleast 2-3 years.

A noob question for anyone with a H80i.
What setting are you using in corsair link and what temps are you getting at max?

I just doubled down on my 760 GTX (I had a EVGA ACX, the new one is an EVGA FTW), still holding nicely with "only" a 720W PSU. Currently running Dishonored at more than 60FPS constant in 4K DSR. Of course DSR is very silly, I'm going to buy a high res screen soon enough.

"max" depends on what CPU you have and what kind of OC is used. 80C should be where the CPU starts slowing down and the fans turn a maximum RPM if you want to be safe.

Bumping this because I finally bought a new screen (http://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG_SWIFT_PG278Q). It's true what they say: G-Sync changes your life.

760s are a different kettle of fish to the higher tier GPUs, the 760s have awesome efficiency.
770s or 780s and I'd suggest a more powerful PSU. (970 SLI would probably be fine with 720W, 980 would be iffy)

I've only heard good things :D
Shame it's a lock-in to Nvidia though.
