yeah, i feel like everyone's just not comfy with change. i know that "newer does not = better". but as far as i can see. it's actually pretty good. since i haven't encountered any issues. that;s why im asking if win 10 is actually a better choice?
is it really that much more stable than windows 8? i've been on win 8 for over a year. then switched to 7 just to feel the difference. then 2-3 months ago i switched back to win 8. and it felt like windows 8 has better overall performance.
this case along with my mobo and gpu that has a touch of gold. any recommended color for the led? yellow perhaps? or none?
z97 asus pro wifi
and palit gtx 970 jetstream
i checked it. but it has no wifi and Bluetooth and i really want that feature integrated to the board.
thank you for your recommendation. but im also thinking about future proofing it even if its only a minute chance.
so i have a $1300 limit to maybe about $1400. and i live at the philippines. im gonna use the computer for gaming and maybe some video editing. i might use 2-3 monitors 1 32-40" TV and a 22" monitor ( maybe an extra 18" one).
so here's my build
Asus Z97-PRO WiFi ac
Intel Core i7-4790K up to 4.00GHz (Quad Core) Haswell Refresh Processor
NZXT Phantom 410 (Gun Metal)
Crucial MX100 128GB Sata (CT128MX100SSD1)
Palit GeForce GTX 970 JetStream 4GB GDDR5 256Bit
so the thing is. i want some validation for the PSU. as im unsure wether it'll be able to handle a 970 sli in the future. and if it's a good choice.
Thermaltake SMART SE 730W Modular 14cm Fan 87% Efficency
and the other this is the ram.
Gskill RipjawsX 8GB Dual 1600 CL9 (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
or
Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB Single DDR3 1600 CL10
the kingston one is single channel. and the gskill is dual channel? (am i wrong?) and aesthetically i'd prefer he black Fury x over the red gskill. it is also cheaper.
so is it fine to go with the hyperx one even if my mobo is for dual channel? p.s. the total budget in php is 60k. and if your from anywhere else there is always about a 10-20% markup on the price for retailers here at the PH.
edit- also im thinking about the GPU wether 980 or just 970? and the mobo. my first option was Maximus VII formula. also i have spare HDD's so. ahahah
i see. ok. thanks! do you guys think that palit is a good brand? im undecided on wether Galaxy GTX 970 EXOC Dual Fan 4gb/256bit ddr5 or
Zotac GTX 970 4gb/256bit ddr5
my build also here's the link to my build. i'm not gonna have much issues with the HDD as i have a lot. but case wise. im thinking on the phatom 530 too. should i spend a bit more for the full tower? or hold out on it?
