  1. Well I want a tablet and I dont have or need a cellphone.
  2. Nexus 7 It seems to be showing its age I bought in 2013. I would like something a little bit faster. I would like to spend between 200-300 if possible. It will be mostly for browsing and gaming.
  3. Yeah but its 2 cores cooler than 4 cores and I have 8 cores now. I will probably look more into the i7-6700k. Thankful you have been very helpful today.
  4. Yeah I need to do more research into it and find out if im going to get any benefit from a 6 core processor. With that said if i cant get the new monitor as well then the 1070 might as well wait until I can get both. I might put that money into a decent sized SSD and "suffer" through another year of my 7970.
  5. Wow you really can learn lots of stuff on lynda.com? Do they have real instructors for that class? You know for science.
  6. Well dam it all to hell. Looks like ill have to "settle" for just upgrading the cpu, mobo, and ram. I'm glad I posted about this. I think im used to getting downvoted to hell on other sites. Since there wont be enough for a gpu maybe ill finally upgrade to an SSD as well
  7. Would the ram im currently using not work? Also I dont think the i7-6800k comes with a cooler. I was thinking something along the lines of this. Price breakdown by merchant: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YXn4Z8/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i7-6800K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($379.99 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($96.99 @ Jet) Motherboard: EVGA Micro 2 Micro ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($185.98 @ Newegg) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Windforce OC Video Card ($389.38 @ Amazon) Total: $1052.34 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-12-19 10:20 EST-0500
  8. I was kind of hoping to upgrade early spring. Wont it be 2nd or 3rd quarter before ryzen or zen releases?
  9. So what I was told about my cpu bottlenecking is true then? and the only way to benefit from 100hz is to go intel?
  10. Is the i7-6800k the best one to get in this scenario? I realize at least it seems like 4 cores is still plenty but its only like 30 some dollars USD to get an extra two cores.
  11. While it is a great point ive never played LoL or Cs:Go not that I have anything against those games per say. I usually play fallout and the newer "AAA" titles that release each year.
  12. Current build I was planning on just upgrading my monitor and gpu. To a dell 24 inch monitor and a evga gtx 1070. However a user on reddit mentioned that my cpu would cause significant bottlenecks on my gpu citing these benchmarks . I live in the US and i was hoping to upgrade for around 1000. If this will cause a bottleneck what cpu and motherboard should I upgrade to? I was looking at some of the posts in reply to the christmas 2016 build guide and the i5-6600k seemed pretty good but is it necessary to upgrade beyond 4 cores yet or is 4 cores going to last for quite some time still? Rig is mostly for gaming and internet use.
