    Windows 7, unless you want to play forza or another specific use case scenario I have yet to see a reason to use it, for example linus' video on ram needs he crashed and ran out when I had more browser tabs and was only using like 2.7gb of ram. Win10 is just shit all over. It's got dx12 that's about it.

    Isn't that HDR not even real HDR10?

    Ya those cheapo 4k Roku TV's are great for the price for TV even if the smart features are laggy, my high end LG smart tv is a true 120hz display but uses the same trick for 240hz and it's gross. Where are you finding his TV model? I see no signature or anything in his profile?
  4. mortino
    Which description? Not trying to be difficult but you don't have a signature and all I see in your post is 4k HDR TV which means nothing and you want a high end ultra wide for 1k-1.5k which means you are getting an acer predator. you did say budget 4k TV so if you go with an 1100 dollar acer predator 1440p IPS ultrawide with g-sync your eye candy fidelity will soar even if your wallet sinks, you aren't getting 125hz though but you will get 120hz, you might be able to overclock it to 125hz, not positive if you can even push that much data over dp on that monitor or any monitor for that matter.

    Depends on the TV you are currently using and the monitor you will be using in the future. Pixel density and high settings doesn't automatically equal more eye candy, the quality of the display panel makes a big difference.

    Seems to be a windows 10 driver issue.

    Just use windows file sharing, it's simple enough, turn it on select the folders you want to share then click on the networked computer in the explorer window.

    120USD is 150 CDN, CDN is up.

    Perfectly fine build, I don't care much for your choice of thermal paste but in 95% of cases these days that is just preference. That ram is wildly overpriced but if you want the RGB I guess it's worth it to you. Overclocking will increase power consumption but normal builds these days use so little power I doubt even overclocked you will break 400 watts from the wall.

    Somehow that looks more ridiculous than the minecraft 8-bit cpu, the 32-bit minecraft calculator is still the most ridiculous tho.

    I seem to recall him doing a build with a watercooled motherboard and ram a while back, before m.2 was a thing. He has definitely watercooled an ssd but I think he took it out of his main rig because his borked it somehow.

    What are your system usage statistics when this is happening? This sounds a lot like what happens when you run out of vram or system ram and it has to swap out to pagefile. Could also be windows 10 hitting your CPU that is already pinned with background BS as it likes to do.

    That monitor has 2 HDMI 2.0 ports on it, aka 4k 60hz.

    I run 1080p, 1440p and 4k depending on the game and have no issues at all, shouldn't be any issues at these resolutions as they are all 16:9 and should scale perfectly.
  15. mortino
    4k monitor for sure with those prices, the monitor will also run in 1440p with no black bars.

    GTS 450 is slightly faster but neither of these cards are very good as they are so old and were low end when they were new.

    Try one they are shit compared to sandy. I had 2 friends pissed at me for building them newer systems slower than mine in games, if he didn't have a good overclock I'd agree with you. arnavvr pointed out this very fact as well. It was a huge shit storm when ivy launched. I see your users but I raise you, look at the clock speeds. A newer chip at stock speed will always be faster than the chip it replaced but the OP has an OVERCLOCKED CHIP 4.8GHZ. A 4.8ghz 2500k is faster than approx. 95% of all 3770k's, in games, that chip had shitty TIM between the IHS and silicon instead of being soldered.
  18. mortino
    His overclock is 4.8ghz. He will lose performance with a haswell chip, efficiency all but goes out the window when you overclock. He won't see the difference on his hydro bill. EDIT: I'd go as far too say the 2600k is a better chip for performance, when overclocked than the disaster that is the 3770k
  19. mortino
    That's still only a aprrox, 10% performance increase depending on the overclock you can achieve on ivy-bridge lol so probably more like the same if he's lucky, def not worth the money.3770k was a 4.4ghz chip on average 4.6 if you are lucky as hell.

    7 year old higher end CPU, 1 year old mid ranged GPU, that CPU when new cost the same as your GPU new. With that GPU you are as set as you are gunna get, if you want 3 to 5 years down the road, upgrade in 2 or 3 years except upgrade cpu and gpu. I kept those cpu's for many years(untill the 7700k) and the difference was negligible till my 2600k died and I gave away my 2500k to a friend. Just trying to let you know how I wasted my money and don't want you to make the same mistake.
  21. mortino
    The performance difference in games is basically nothing, I did that exact upgrade when sandy bridge was new and regretted it.
  22. mortino
    Lol, I almost chewed you out for being a troll, glad I re-read your post, I thought you were asking about a system you already owned, I was thinking you have brand new hardware, any future proofing you wanted went out the window last week when you bought the damn system and didn't want to pay the extra monies. Anywho cheers and goodluck, decent enough build to get you by for a few years at least.

    If you aren't upgrading your GPU and gaming is your primary focus I wouldn't bother upgrading your CPU at this time, wait until you are buying a new GPU and most likely a faster and cheaper CPU with be out by that time, overclocked 2500k's and 2600k's are still quite competent for gaming, in most situations. It's not worth the upgrade to a 2600k for gaming just fyi, If you find one for like 30 bucks or something by all means tho but moist 2600k's I've seen are still over 100 bucks.

    How old is that PSU? This really sounds like a PSU issue.

    LOL... Self help is the best help.
