Toxicable

Well it's about 300 g heavier so yeah not too much difference there, but at $500 (1500 vs 2000 in NZD) more just fore a better screen? It does haev the better Iris iGPU but still, at that price tag I dont think it's worth it.

I agree with this but Air instead of the pro. I literally don't see the point in the Macbok Pro unless you actually sue it at home

980 is over priced. 970, 980Ti or 280x are all good options

Im not certain on how seeing higher res's work or how to explain it but for the second part of your question see below.

Ah ok fair enough, I didn't see that. Good work non the less.

Possible? yes Worth it? no Also you most likely have a non reference card which is not always easy to get a block for

Nice dude. Try getting in touch with Linus maybe to make official? I dont have a pebble either, but i'd use it if I did

May want to swap the GPU for a shorter 970 since it'll get in the way of the HDD bays PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($173.95 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($71.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($54.99 @ Adorama) Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($99.98 @ OutletPC) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($349.99 @ Directron) Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($34.99 @ Directron) Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($52.98 @ Newegg) Monitor: BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor ($161.99 @ Amazon) Other: WIndows ($20.00) Total: $1070.84 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-06-08 23:31 EDT-0400

From what I know it all depends on the program if it can use the GPU to process. Otherwise you just want something along the lines of a Xeon CPU and Quadro GPU / AMD equivalents

No, not exactly right You dont get exactly double the speeds, the more SSDs you add the less speed you get back, just like SLI scaling with GPUs. Take a look at Linus's video when he put 24 SSDs in raid 0. 2 SSDs that are about 550 MB/s ea in raid 0 might give about 950 MB/s. Intels NVMe PCIe SSD has read speeds of up to 2400 MB/s

Well that is sorta how it works with the older HDDs but with SSDs it dosent matter how much stuff you have on it, it will work the same. Personally i'd still go with the 2 250's since again I personally would then put them in RAID 0 (which gives you 500 GB of space) and effectively doubles the read write speeds.

nope

That's not really how SSDs work, usually the reason for wanting multiple of the same drives is so you can raid 0

Nope. Most motherboards can only adjust fans speeds with 4 pins these days, you'd need a fan hub or something similar There are many PMW fans you can get through.

Pretty sure they said they dont want to be the cheap option. But either way at that price everyone be buying there cards. If this is legit - doubt it

Gaming in 3x1080 ? ( 5760x1080) Or just a game on one screen then desktop/whatever that's not a game on the others?

Welcome to the Forum. A few things about your build. You probably don't need the i7 but since that's a nice budget might aswell. That motherboard is way overkill. THe SSD is terrible, get a Samsung Evo 250 GB (you'll thank me later on the size) The 980 is overpriced, get Either 970 or 980 Ti if you're NVida only But since you onyl want 1080 the 970 is HEAPS enough for you I'd advise getting Windows off /r/microsftsoftwareswap for $20 but that's your choice Edit: if you could go $100 more you got yourself a sick 1440p rig inlc. monitor PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($325.99 @ SuperBiiz) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($26.98 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($101.98 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Trident X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($119.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($97.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card ($709.98 @ Newegg) Case: Corsair 200R ATX Mid Tower Case ($54.99 @ Micro Center) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ NCIX US) Monitor: Acer G257HU smidpx 60Hz 25.0" Monitor ($254.08 @ B&H) Other: WIndows ($20.00) Total: $1826.96 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-06-08 20:36 EDT-0400

The second one has a better CPU so i'd go with that one Edit: 750 GB of samsung Evo SSd's would be $450 and you're paying 420 for 628GB of SSDs + a generation up on the CPU

Not everyone plays games that use more VRAM than W3 But I guess you've never touched a game unless it's AAA

Im sorry, what? What's not how what works? If you're talking about the example of me playing the Witcher 3 then don't know how else to explain it, I have no reason to lie about the numbers im giving you.

They have no reason to sell chips at similar specs to laptop ones as desktop ones, becasue they have desktop ones

the largest files on most websites from what I know are the pictures, so something simple wouldnt be more than 100mb otherwise it wouldnt load fast enough. That aside I wouldn't suggest running a website from home for something like that, buy a hosting service, you'd have issues with upgrading, redundancy and speed(RAM, CPU, Network) where as having a hosted server you can easily solve all of these with a few clicks and upgrading your plan.

Have no cooling

I don't think you see my point. Ill put it into a little example. What's the performance difference between having 128 GB of RAM, and 8 GB if the max you use at one time is 6GB? Answer: None To relate it back to the OPs question, 2GB of VRAM is fine for pretty much any 1080 game. I have a GTX 960 with 2 GB of VRAM and the only time it's come close to hitting that was when I was in Novigrad (very dense city) with ultra settings where it reached 1.8 GB, otherwise it would usually only use 1.2 GB outside of that. Hence if OP is only playing 1080 which is what im assuming since 1440p was hardly a thing when the 770 was current, let along 4K for that matter. So if he dosent use more than 2GB there's no problem with it, no point needing more if you aint gonna use it.
