So you're pretty much buying the CD drive to install windows. Right?

 

Here. Do this instead.

That was a great video, i'll definitely be doing that. As for the internet problems, i dont play many multiplayer games and i get a great connection using my laptop in my room so i'm not really worried too much about that. Doing the work of rigging cables makes the $30 really easy to spend.

don't worry about it, i found a "thing" on reddit in like 2 minutes that will let me get past the key install and legally upgrade to windows 10. If that doesnt work i'll figure something out.

I was going to go with AMD at first, the 8320 in fact, but i've heard that it isnt as good as an intel for some games and also emulating which is important to me.

 

someone is selling their asus r9 290 direct cuii's on reddit with a year of use on them, they were both crossfired at the same time. he wants $220 each, do you think its a good deal? I've read the cooling is significantly better. I asked if he would do $200 since a new 290 is only 232 with rebates.

upsides:

-SSD

-AND HDD

-pretty(as in not ugly) case

-fully modular PSU

-2 open RAM slots for upgrades

-Full HD Monitor

-Keyboard and mouse (you got virtually everything you need to start playing games)

-OC on CPU possible

- 3 core/ 6 thread CPU with possible beneftis coming with DX12

-....

-Your add could be here (jk)

 

Downsides:

-High power consumption

-therefore high temps

-and more noise

-ugly RAM kit :P

-OC recommend due to lowe single core perfomance

-... idk is there more?

 

Maybe somebody can improve this but I won't I amgoing to bed now ... freaking 4.30am

idk about emulators but the 6300 is a good bang for the buck. I am an intel guy but I at least have to admit that. If you wan to go intel you .... I am going to sleep now... I will look at the over night results tomorrow... goodbye

I think the 6300 will be a problem at times, i wouldn't doubt that it would bottleneck a 390 even after overclocking it. Maybe need someone else to confirm or has tested this.

Maybe a little bit but not considerably. These days in Full HD the graficscard is your real bottleneck.

how would i install windows onto it without it? and my room is like 80 ft away form the modem and i cant move it. I'm new to this.

 

also, you dont think that processor will inhibit the abilities of that GPU? and the monitor is 60hz 1080p so getting anything that will overpower that makes no sense

Download a Windows ISO, place it on flash drive, install from flash drive. You can pick up an ISO from Microsoft's website.

 

Also no, the i5-4460 is pretty high-end for gaming, I'd feel safe pairing a GTX 980 Ti with it. It's only within a 10-15% margin of difference from the i5-4690k which is already considered the best gaming CPU.

 

Maybe a little bit but not considerably. These days in Full HD the graficscard is your real bottleneck.

No, the bottleneck will be pretty heavy. Not only do AMD CPUs bottleneck anything at the GTX 960 / R9 380 level or higher, but AMD GPUs have a higher CPU overhead that will induce even more bottlenecking than an NVIDIA GPU would get.

 

tl;dr don't get an AMD CPU unless you want to hate yourself for it later

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

do you think i could use this cpu to crossfire two high end cards? such as the R9 290 or gtx 970

It's very likely you could. Just remember that you'll need a beefy power supply to actually support the R9 290 crossfire. The GTX 970 can use as little as a 650W PSU however.

You should not be considering the 290. 390 or 970.

Nvidia recommends 750 psu for 2 970 sli tho.

 

Anyway if you want to sli 970,it is  better to get a single 980 ti

You get a lot better bang for the buck with a 290 compared to a 390. And the money you save can be invested in an SSD which would definitely by worth it.

The general problem is just that like a 750 dollar SLI/Crossfire ready high end gaming setup. In the end you won't be able to fit all of that into the budget. You will have to make compromises

NVIDIA recommends it but that doesn't mean it isn't capable of working on a 650W power supply, my 650W could probably support my 980 in SLI, but I'd sacrifice efficiency by quite a bit.

this is a great build, but i actually managed to find myself a used Asus r9 290 directcu ii for only $220 on r/hardwareswap and i'm extremely happy about that because of the quality and rarity of the card.
