  1. Whats your budget?

    mouse pads really aren't different from company to company its usually just the size and if theirs a wrist wrest on the mouse pad that changes

    the biggest "innovation" ive seen on a mouse pad is probably the rgb mouse pad that luke talks about in this video

    compared to a modern pc where would i be equivalent to cpu wise?

    In terms of speed probably a mid ranged 3ghz i3  

    but this cpu is a power hog (150 watts a pop)

    and doesn't support basic features that are needed 

     

    if i were you i would go for a e5-2670 they perform around the same as a i7-6700 (a little slower like 3-4 fps) while still being 80$ and supporting modern features

    i allready own the mobo and what is worng with the other cpu? what u mean not modern enough? 

    and any good cpu cooler?

    They are from 2007 and were unsupported in 2009 thats very not modern. (THATS 10 YEARS AGO) 

     

    They don't support ddr3

    are on a 65nm process (compared to the 16nm of this year)

    Will defiantly bottleneck the gpu

    Not sure but probable no support of pci express 3

    these are mainly used to upgrade mac pros form 2006-2007 

     

  4. Those cpus are way to old finding a motherboard that supports them and any modern features is near impossible and if you do find one it will cost a an arm and leg 

    if you want to go for a good cheap xeon go for a xeon E-5 2670 they go for 80 dollars they support modern featurs and there mother boards are relatively easy to find.

     

    Also your cpu will bottleneck the gpu.

     

    Your cpus don't even support ddr3 

  5. This idea seems like it would be successful  , if you do it right. You have to make sure there is enough of a market for custom pcs where you plan on setting up shop and also remember that once a customer buys a computer from you he won't come back for a couple of years (unless they are a extra enthusiast but if they are they would probably want to build it themselves )  to get customers to come back you could also provide repair services.

     

    For building Pc here are some thing you should provide:

     

    Things that are hard with out proper equipment and training like Hardline water cooling or painting computer parts

     

    Being able to design any Aesthetic a customer might want 

     

    Sell more then just pc get peripherals to 

     

    Professional Pc advice 

     

    Decorate your shop with a 'gaming theme' (leds, cool logos, computer cases all around)

     

    Good Costomer service

     

     

     

     

     

  6. If you have 200 go for the gtx 1060 3gb or a rx 480 they both have a msrp of 200$ you are just gonna have to wait for them to be more available but trust me those cards blow the 950 and the 370 out of the water

  7. Hi,

    I need help picking a new GPU setup for general gaming and VR. I have a Gtx 970 atm but I want to upgrade

     

    What should I do?

     

    Here are some of the options I'm considering.

     

    -Buying another 970 and putting it in SLI 

     

    -Selling my 970 and getting 2 AMD RX 480 in crossfire 

     

    -or also selling my 970 and getting a higher end single GPU like the 1070/1080

     

    With VR in mind Which of these is a better option especially considering selling my 970 is a real hassle?

    What noise isolation? what has that to do with VR. You probably got now answers yet becasue nobody wanted to deal with the fact that they have no idea what you acctually want.

    Ok sorry for not being clear but what I meant was what are the effects of using Active noise cancelling headphones to acheive noise isolation while using a vr headset like the htc vive.

     

    is there any benifit to using anc headphones in terms of immersion or is there no difference?

     

    And if there is a benifit is the extra immersion worth it or is to dangerous
