  1. i5 or i7, 3570, 3570k, 3770, or 3770k along with the 2400 series -- basically any i5 or i7 LGA 1155
  2. Mine actually arrives tomorrow!!! I'm planning on building the system soon, so I'll follow the thread and post soon.
  3. Well neither are those owned by Apple
  4. Look at Beats by Dre, huge dominance over the designer headphone market. Why? Because they spend billions on advertising, sponsorships, and their packaging/presentation. They're made for $50 and bought for $200. Why? Because customers like the look, the clean appeal of packaging, and the name that Beats by Dre has accumulated by all their advertising. Same with Apple. Every damn aspect is the same, although their product is far more perfected and more valuable. Anyone who argues against Apple's products, please refrain, because that company has built up a massive reputation and now has the ability to overprice their computers, tablets, and phones. Apple products are simpler, less customizable, and appeal to folks who like the aesthetics of not only the physical computer, but also the operating systems, without the options of extreme customizability. Even in Windows laptops, specs cannot be altered by a huge margin. And the reason why so many hipsters like Apple is because their products are sleek, stylish and straightforward. My strong support of Apple does, in no way, constitute my support of hipsters. Let that be clear.
  5. So what would you say are some of the best GPUs for folding/boinc
  6. Would've said that, although he needs 6x3.5in HDD mounts
  7. Oh god the text size Really solid build though!
  8. HOLY BALLS wrong thread haha anoher topic like this but with 970
  9. Yeah, it will super-bottleneck a 970/980 and they are very close in performance so I would think so (from TomsHardware) http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2538834/amd-6300... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2350395/6300-280... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2302547/6300-bot... http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2247331/amd-6300...
  10. Yes, GTX 960 holds a very low TDP (120w) A 500w-650w gold+ would do nicely. Also, just for ease of use you may want to add a boot drive for faster loading- and you can also run photoshop on it
  11. Yeah, just about the best card at $200-250 range I like the looks of the STRIX, but MSI's will perform better (barely noticeable). I suggest looking at some pictures of each, and pick according to that and the color of your system. Edit: Welcome to the forums BTW!
  12. Just a warning, his cooling system wasn't really effective at all... If you really want a "whole room" water cooling system, look at something like what AntVenom did:
  13. http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/17/2011-macbook-pro-gpu-complaints-not-going-away-as-petition-reaches-18k-signatures/ oops Apple you done goofed Edit: also found this https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5759538?tstart=0
  14. but will it bottleneck a 970 at all? 6300 will, that's another story
  15. Is it just flickering or also artifacting?
  16. Wow I expected more from MSI, especially from such a well respected series.
  17. I said "your" in regards to myself lol dw, g3258 is only better for overclocking
  18. Does it support So-DIMM or 240 pin modules? Edit: Dumb question oops
  19. Hello, My current macbook pro, an early 2010 model, has 4gb of RAM. I'm trying to upgrade to 16gb, or if it isn't supported, then 8gb. My question is: can my Core 2 duo support 16gb of PC3-8500 1066 or just a standard 8gb? If so, please link to where I can buy!! I would highly prefer BestBuy, because I will be picking up an SSD there later today. Like would this work? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cms-16gb-4-x-4gb-ram-memory-4-apple-imac-core-2-duo-3-06-27-inch-late-2009-ddr3-sodimm/1308430971.p?id=mp1308430971&skuId=1308430971 Thanks all
  20. Ehhhh, cheapest youll find in AUD is $1500, maybe $1600 You'll have to check on tech sites for prices, but from what i know about the Stealth series and AUD->USD exchange rates, thats what I think you'll find. Now, Alienware has some nice laptops although I've never seen or watched anything about them. Just putting it out there, might be worth checking out. (Cheapest is I think $1,000 USD, so around $1,250 AUD)
