  1. My current GPU is a GTX 645, borrowed from a friend. It's holding up fine though, so I think I'll wait. Thank you!
  2. Hi guys, So I can buy a second hand GTX 970 for €280 in my country. A new one would cost me €360. If I'd buy it, I'd probably buy another one half a year later and SLI them. In the end it would cost me about €550. But since Pascal is only a few months away, I don't know what to do. I don't play very graphically demanding games at the moment, csgo is doing fine at 50 fps with the GTX 645 I'm borrowing from a friend. What should I do? buy the GTX 970 and SLI later, or wait a few months and buy a new, higher end Pascal card in a few months? I would like my PC to run as quiet and cold as possible, but it's not a major point. Let me know what you think, I'm open for suggestions.
  3. Thanks for all the replies! I think I will wait until Pascal comes out, unless I find a really good deal on a GTX 970.
  4. Hello Forum, I'm planning on building a pc, and I want to spend around 250€ on a GPU. In the country where I live, the Netherlands, I can buy a second hand GTX 780 for that price. I can also buy a new GTX 960 G1 Gaming. And now since Pascal is right around the corner, that is also an option. I'd have to wait another 6 months though to get it. Maybe even later, if they announce the successor of the GTX 960 later. I don't know what to choose, I know that the GTX 780 is faster than the GTX 960. I don't need to have the GPU as soon as possible, so Pascal is also an option. Let me know what you think I should do, thanks.
  5. I searched for some benchmarks and opinions on the GTX 960 vs R9 380. A lot of people say the R9 380 performs better and benchmarks show so, but either way I think I'll go with the Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming 4GB. My reasons for this choise are (in order of importance): - You can overclock the GTX 960 to around freaking 1500 MHz, to get simular performance to the R9 380. - The GTX 960 from gigabyte is the sexiest card I've ever seen with the backplate and the LED. - Lower power consumption, also because I'm planning on having SLI in the future. - Driver support is better for nVidia cards. - GTX 960 is much more popular, so if problems occur the community will be able to help me better. Not that I hope a problem occurs I also see some of you suggesting the LGA 1151 platform, but I think I'll just stay with LGA 1150 because: - LGA 1151 is still more expensive: more expensive CPU, RAM, motherboards. If I'd take LGA 1151 with my requirements, it'd cost me around $50 more than LGA 1150. I don't think that is worth it. LGA 1150 will still be acceptable for at least 3 years. - There are no sexy white motherboards, nor sexy white RAM. For the Water cooler, the Corsair Hydro H60 seems to do better and in my opinion looks better as well.
  6. Would you suggest the NZXT Kraken X31 or the 2013 Corsair Hydro H60?
  7. I am thinking of getting an I5 4690K instead of the I5 4590, since I really really want that sexy motherbooard to fit in with the white and black. It is only 15$ anyway. I read everywhere the CPU will not be a problem in terms of bottlenecking, but on game-debate it says an I5 4590 will not be able to play Project Cars to the full. Is it worth it to get the I5 4690K for 40€? I will overclock if I get it. For the r9 380, I don't think any of them will fit in with the color scheme. Maybe the MSI, but do you think the Red of MSI can cooperate with the white and black? Will there fit two of the MSI r9 380's on the motherboard, since they are so thick? If I were to get a R9 380, It has to be long for that full feeling inside the case. Looks are a key feature for this build. I don't even game that much, and that's the reason I intended to get a GTX 960 instead of a AMD card: the nVidia cards look waaaay better. Also, in the future I will probably put in another gpu for that Crossfire/SLI. Do you think the 620 Watt PSU will do? And another topic: a AIO liquid cooler. I find the Corsair H60 2013 edition and the NZXT X31 to be perfect for the looks and my budget. Which of the two would you recommend?
  8. Hello everyone, this is my first time on the forum although I've been watching Linus for around 2 years now. I'm in search for some opinions about this build I want to make soon: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($114.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury White 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($41.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($84.88 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card ($238.98 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($63.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ SuperBiiz) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 OEM (64-bit) ($84.89 @ OutletPC) Case Fan: Enermax UCTVS12P-W 76.0 CFM 120mm Fan ($14.99 @ Amazon) Total: $899.69 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-01-07 11:43 EST-0500 Above is the system I'm about to build, I just wanted some feedback from a couple of people about what they'd think of it. As you can see, I'm opting for a black and white themed pc, very clean and symplistic. My budget is about 900-950$. In the real build there will also be a couple of modular sleeved cables in white to fit the color theme. In my country, The Netherlands, the whole system costs €933,-. In the future, I want to upgrade to two-way GTX 960 SLI, extra HDD space and another 8gb's of RAM. Let me know what you think about the parts. I'm open for recommendations.
