He's not on the "Our Team" tab of the LMG website. He might be temporary for helping to move in. I don't know anything, just speculating.

I just need decent portability, silence, performance, and battery. The Macbook Air seems to be king at the moment. Basically all other computers out of Apple are terrible though.
-
Thanks for the advice. I've already decided that the 11" Macbook Air best suits my needs.

I am divided over which tech I should invest in next. Should I pick up a 980 Ti to replace my 980, a H110i GTX to replace my Dark Rock 3 and a Maximus VII Formula to replace my MSI Z97 Gaming 7 or a used 11" Macbook Air? I am very torn and would love some advice. Edit: Forgot which motherboard I have ;P

I was just looking for some suggestions, I might put the money towards another 980 instead

Hello, I already have an HTC One M8 but I received enough money for my birthday to buy another phone and "dual-wield" two phones, switching out my SIM. Which secondary phone should I get? Phones I have interest in: Note 4 Moto X 2014 iPhone 6 Nexus 6

You're going to need a new motherboard, I recommend the Asus Z97I-Plus, MSI Z97I-Gaming AC or the Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI

My advice: Motherboard: I don't know which Z97S SLI is the one you were referring to, but get the Krait Edition. It has a black PCB and some more enthusiast-oriented features PSU: Make sure to get the G2 version of the EVGA Supernova. The G1 versions are very loud if you find that offensive. Case: In this kind of a price range, get the Phanteks Enthoo Pro, the NZXT S340 or the Cooler Master N600. If you want to step up a bit, get a 450D or a 750D for an even more balls to the wall case.

Do not get rid of that old titan. You probably will lose quite a bit of money. You can get another one used for $625 right here.

I think I have a pretty good 4k rig that comes with about $60 of your budget with a monitor.

New Build (budget $1200 to $1400)
jacustjack replied to trailchoco's topic in New Builds and Planning
This is only around 40 bucks over your budget and should serve you relatively well CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($309.99 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler ($69.99 @ Newegg) Motherboard: Asus Z97-PRO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($159.99 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($172.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Corsair Force LS 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($89.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($134.98 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card ($349.99 @ Amazon) Case: Corsair 450D ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ NCIX US) Power Supply: Corsair RM 450W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($52.00 @ Newegg) Total: $1439.91 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-11-07 00:50 EST-0500 -
$1,950 wasn't too easy to reach with the build I had in mind. So, this build has high-performance quad-channel memory, one of the best gaming motherboards in existence, with a matching green and black color scheme, a fourth-gen unlocked i7 processor cooled by a liquid cooler that beats the H100i, a GTX 780 Ti from Asus with an excellent cooler design, relatively good storage with 250gb of ssd space and a 2tb hard drive, alongside a fully-modular 80+ Platinum PSU, Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and, last but not least, a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Black switches. Enjoy!

This build has a Haswell i5, SSD, 8 gigs of ram, an 80+ gold fully modular psu and, best of all, I was able to squeeze a 780 ti in there for only about $1,030
