  1. I changed out the CPU cooler to the Corsair H50. As of the case, this was the best sub $60 case I could find right now. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks, man!
  2. Speed doesn't matter a whole lot in gaming.
  3. Here it is. This is a pretty awesome build for only $875. I definitely recommend this.

  4. I would go for this week. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are going to have some kick-ass deals.
  5. As different as the 900 series is to the 1000 series. Here's a chart that AMD produced on their release of Polaris.
  6. I thought so too. Just some extra knowledge for the cranium.
  7. No. The X, 80, 70, 60, 50TI and 50 variants of this architecture have all came out. There may be a 1080ti to close the gap between the X and the 80. There will be no other cards besides that in this architecture. Waiting for Vega is the closest new GPU architecture.
  8. As far as I've seen online, it's a 50% chance that you'll get a working code. And then it's a small possibility that "refund/garuntee" will work.
  9. That's what I tell myself. I really want to get the Pixel XL but I just can't justify it compared to the features of the S7e.
  10. This upcoming Christmas I have an upgrade through my carrier. Cost in no issue. I have looked everywhere and I can't really seem to find an answer. I'm a high school student. I've found the Pixel to have a better software experience, battery life, and camera while the Edge has more bells and whistles (waterproof and edge screen) and has expandable storage. I can't decide.
  11. I'd go for the IPS. And it's Titan X (Pascal), or Titan XP. DONT BUY TWO TITANS. You're wasting so much money for that. Just get one. I don't even recommend that much. But at least save yourself and get one.
  12. Is your computer actually running the GPU? I've had personal experiences where the graphics card wasn't initially detected so it ran off of the on-board iGPU. If no, then the only other thing I can think of is drivers. CHECK THOSE DAMN DRIVERS SON.
  13. Is the case full height or is it low profile? (graphics card)
  14. Oops. I got the 730. Although my reasoning was tat it was only $35 used and I know after looking at some benchmarks that it will perform about the same at the Intel HD 550. That's the performance level I want out of this.
  15. I will look for a used card, thanks dude. The problem with a full size case is that I have a proprietary PSU, mobo, and CPU cooler.
  16. That video doesn't apply to on-board graphics that are that bad. Intel HD 2500 is equivalent to a GeForce 210 / Radeon HD 3470
  17. links? prices? I'm not trying to spend more than $70
  18. while that was a consideration, they dont manufacture low prof 460s yet
  19. I'm looking to upgrade an old HP HTPC that I picked up. It has a nice Ivy Bridge i5. That's not the issue. It still uses Intel HD 2500. I'm having trouble deciding between the HD 5450 (passive cooled) and the GT 730 (passive cooled). The 730 is double the price and I am willing to spend that much if it means I'll be able to run a lot of newer games. Currently, I cannot even run CS:GO at a playable framerate.
  20. The 460 and the Skylake i3 are a perfect match for each other.
  21. Don't worry. When I built my PC that was also my worrying but I assure you it is fine. This guy said it perfectly.
