Re: What does everone have under the hood? if your able to build, and can give your max budget, i could whip a quick build up on pcpartpicker
Re: What does everone have under the hood? you sir are a rich little git! im jealous my ps cost £600 can we do a swap? - - - Updated - - - is this a good gfx card? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DHW4HM0....com/12351/geforce-gtx-680-vs-radeon-hd-7970/
Re: What does everone have under the hood? yeah well I am gonna earn that computer my current PC cost me back in 2008 £600 but due to a new motherboard and RAM and PSU its running about £900 now but yeah I will earn that cash and I will build Leonidas I, no game on this planet will ever max this beast out! it is to designed to run games at 1440p or higher...I am aiming at a 4K Gaming machine and I think that is it and I know about the 7970 but I dont want my machine sounding like 4 huge turbine engines running at Take off Speed....
Re: What does everone have under the hood? So you just slapped a list together? I don't see the point of this post if you don't own it. Besides you could spend less of this fake money and still get the same performance; Swap the 4 Titans for 3 780s or R9 290X's. When overclocked both these will best the Titan for much less $. That right there saves about $1500. Next go for a 4930K and not the X. No point in paying 500$ more for a few mhz and some cache. The case is subjective to the persons taste, myself for an 'Ultimate' build I'd go with a Corsair 750D/900D. For the monitors you could go with 3 1600p Korean panels and save 300$ each. And ditch that CLC on the cpu. Total savings would be roughly 3100$, subtract a good 6-700$ for a kick ass custom loop. That is what I would do if I had said budget.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? its good, but ive heard that the version with acx cooling is a lot quieter, and cooler (as in temps): http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClo...TF8&colid=1WFEL7GXD3KQL&coliid=I1PBTLV6VZ5Y0T - - - Updated - - - forgot the psu, never been heard of anywhere (at least that ive seen) probably swap that out with a corsair ax1200
Re: What does everone have under the hood? I didn't change the PSU as Lepa sources from quality OEM's. Nothing wrong with their products, he could have done with MUCH less wattage but other than that its fine. 1000w would easily run this rig. Seasonic 1000-Platinum would be perfect.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? I didnt think about that I mean what about a Corsair AX1200i that would be better I mean I will make the adjustments when I can be bothered to
Re: What does everone have under the hood? AX1200i wouldn't be better because you don't need a higher wattage PSU. SeaSonic is the OEM for many a unit sold by Corsair and other vendors.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? Okay thanks I will make the alterations but I did target that machine to utterly wipe out anything you dare put up against it..
Re: What does everone have under the hood? And I did nothing to make it any less powerful if not more. More $ does not always equal more performance.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? come on I would have 4 GTX Titans tied together in full SLI or maybe 2 banks of SLI or who knows haha
Re: What does everone have under the hood? 4 way SLI scales terribly and isn't really supported by many games, its common sense really. You can't have 'banks' or 'pairs' of cards in SLI, doesn't work that way.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? ah thanks I mean I will look into it and see what I can do mate but thanks
Re: What does everone have under the hood? And so you guys know I went for a 1600W PSU because in total those 4 titans requre about 300W each so 1200W at max load I always count in a major factor of safety...
Re: What does everone have under the hood? I would much rather spend seven thousand bucks on a car or something. I need a new computer, and I'm looking to keep it under a thousand. While, at the same time, saving up for a car. So yeah, I'm probably stuck playing gridmap with one car just to have playable fps for a while.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? I have a very well paid job with Microsoft actually I can afford this beast..and a car but I am going to wait a while for the prices to cool off..
Re: What does everone have under the hood? Well, if you have the money, then spend away. A thirteen year old who mows lawns doesn't exactly have those kinds of funds.
Re: What does everone have under the hood? I'm 14. And, as it turns out I need to mow more lawns in order to afford a wheel because I thought I had more money than I do..
Re: What does everone have under the hood? Considering I have the bucks already but I am being careful I am waiting my time for parts on that beast to settle down and prices to drop before I consent to spend $7500 on it I mean shipping costs and stuff to the UK lol
