you can do better than that for a monitor. http://www.ebuyer.com/store/Computer/cat/Monitors/AOC

Sorry Double Post.

Do you want to Build yourself? Do you want to use new or used parts? Do you want expandability? What kind of Games do you want to play?

So I'm Hyped for the CV1 Latest news is that Preorders open in the new year... not a surprise given it has a release date of Q1 2016. No news on Price.. but estimates are at around £400. So who's with me? Who will buy on Pre Order? And if not Why the Heck Not?

I would say an SSD is the single greatest upgrade you can make on your pc at such a low cost. Install your OS on it and any programs that stream data or have loading sections and you will be blown away by the difference an SSD will make to your PC.

go with a palit jetstream gtx970.

Oh the fun that could have been had

O.k. i'm sure I'm missing something about this Turnip business... I often see it as an option on the polls. Anyone care to tell me what it's all about?

At present for gaming no.... but that is set to change with DX12, which will add support for hyper-threading cores, and offloading processing normally managed by the GPU onto the CPU. The reason most people own an i7 is for other reasons than gaming, for example I have an i7 because I'm a musician and using my PC as an audio workstation.

Vacuum cleaner is absolutely fine! unless you are rubbing the nozzle on your hardware that is Ooo Errr! :rolleyes:

First thing I did when I set up my pc was to under volt the CPU and turn down the way to wet and wild bios default profile.

Under normal circumstances with a K series chip you are right.... We are talking however about unlocking a non K series chip that was deemed at manufacturing to be not a good enough grade to be pushed, without sacrificing stability and/or lifespan.

Yep, of course you are right, it depends on the task at hand. But why push your hardware to the absolute limit, and in the case I addressed absolutely way beyond it's recommended operating limits to achieve so little gains? As is always true with overclocking, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. Great to get a response from staff btw Merry Christmas!

Question one: - Managed that at what cost??!?? 1. Stability 2. Lifespan of chip/hardware 3. Power inefficiency 4. All of the above Question two: - what in real terms does 100mhz constitute in FPS? 1. more than 10fps 2. less than 10 fps Sorry for the sarcasm... but Dude really??? I can get a chip to run at 8ghz+ with liquid nitrogen... the chip won't last long (as in seconds) but look it's running at 8ghz+

Yep, I know you are right. I can understand people wanting to build the best performing system with as little money as possible. But what people fail to consider is the lifespan of the components they are using. In the long run spending more money on your rig initially to get quality components means, when you spend money on your rig in future it will be for upgrade purposes and not for replacing broken component purposes. .
