Ok I just wanted to ask someone else about my plan. Thanks for all of your help!

Well I have to buy a 500 watt psu for everything which is 50 or so USD. Also the computer doesn't have a front intake(Will fix that) and it is in a closed of cabinet in my desk. This is where my heat problems come from. Also forgot I'm running a 1600x900 display

Hello everyone. I've been trying to decide on how to upgrade my secondary computer. When we moved in my father got me a dell desktop for school work. At this time I only played really basic games and I didn't have much of a steam library. Now that I have acquired a large game collection I wanted to play them. The problem is that the pre build has really really crappy graphics. Currently it has a amd 5550 in it and it doesn't do what I need. The pre built is a Dell Inspiron 570 with an Althon x4 645. I was thinking I would put my 7870 in it with a PSU upgrade but I was also thinking about trading it. All of my friends have 750 ti's in their rigs and would be happy to trade. Is it worth it to lose the performance for a more power efficant card with less heat out put? I just want your opinions on this. I would be upgrading my current GPU for something new and that is where I get my 7870.

I can't believe I missed a build by you for 13 days!! Now I'm followed and ready to go!

I'm liking the chromecast and the battery bank ideas. Keep them coming!!

Since it is becoming the holiday season and people are starting to buy gifts. Why not see what the community knows for good ideas. What are some cool/interesting ideas for holiday gifts under 40 USD. I'm not good a finding items that are bought at well known stores. Try to let it be items that most people would know where to buy or non-techy people know what it is. Let any ideas be added to the thread because we all have different ideas of what is cool/interesting. Thanks for participating!

I'm ready for the pics!

WWHHHAT...I've never seen a monitor that big.

You are going to use your other rig to do real ice melting simulation at 4k . On topic that is a huge monitor/tv. I dont know which one it is.

Looks so great. Wish my skyrim looks like that!

this is getting better every time I come back. He had 2 ssds and now 3.

is killing floor a good game? Fun, replay value? vs Metro 2033 I played Last light and i like it.

What games do you guys recommend that are 5 dollars or less. I have most of the popular steam games so keep that in mind. Thanks for any replies!!

I love the cheap stuff you get on ebay. Maybe I should go on there some time. Keep working hard love to see the out come!

We got the acer c720 chromebook and I'm trying to get games on it. The only problem is that they don't allow you to change the os . But now if I do get a game i know that minecraft will work

I have to take Linus' and other youtube reviews on how slippery the back feels. I was looking into a dband skin once I saw them. They look cool and I want one. Good video linus touching on the pros and cons of apples new phone.

That's pretty cool. Like the build color and a different placement of tower.

I would put mine on the my desk but I think the NZXT 210 is too big for the space I have

Where do you keep you PC? On the desk,below, on the wall, etc?

You could use 2 pieces of acrylic to seal the PC off. How hot do you think that it will get? If you add some vents you should be fine.

This sounds a bit crazy but I like that. I wouldn't think you will have too much trouble with the water if you seal it correctly. Keep going!

That was fast. Only saw X99 yesterday. What motherboard are you going to use?

I got to have 60+ mods but once you start you can't stop. I would keep going but my system can handle all the new textures.

Is this your main rig because I remember you having another prototype CPU that didn't work. Still Your interior case looks great.
