  1. I'd like the Excalibur v2 because I'm building my first pc over the summer and not having to buy a keyboard would be fantastic!
  2. It doesn't matter. It still shows that Polaris is coming... soon! I also doubt that they'd release a low-end product without releasing a high-end either beforehand or following very, very closely on the low-end's heels.
  3. According to the website "mobipicker," AMD's head, Srinivasan M., said that Polaris will double performance per watt. http://www.mobipicker.com/amds-polaris-to-double-performance-per-watt-india-head-srinivasan-m/
  4. Whichever gets more performance per dollar is the one I'm gonna go with. Probably AMD, but Nvidia might be it. The less-pricey adaptive sync monitor is a good point. I did just read this forum topic, though, that says that Pascal could very well not live up to gaming expectations
  5. Thanks for the help! Those were some great suggestions. All I did was change my SSD to bring it back down closer to budget. It costs $20.00 less, but doesn't sacrifice much speed. Thanks again.
  6. As I said, I'll be upgrading the monitor later. Right now I'd rather get the pc hardware great, and then worry 'bout the monitor when I get more cash.
  7. I have a slight dilemma. I am building a rig this summer mainly for gaming. I can't really decide, though, which build I should go for. I have made two different parts lists (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2rN7zy vs. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2cZg23). This will be my first build. I am running off a 7-year-old Lenovo Ideapad Z-570 right now, so I felt like it was time for an upgrade. I have a current budget of roughly $2,000.00 (USD). I will be upgrading things like the monitor at a later date. I play mostly strategy games, but I will also dabble in more graphics-intensive titles like Arma 3 when I finally get a computer that can handle such games. I am currently leaning towards the build with the 980 ti, but didn't know if my performance in strategy games would take a noticeable hit if I went that path. Any suggestions to make it better are welcomed, and I thank you all in advance for your assistance.
  8. I've never had an SSD, but would absolutely love to have one. I am currently saving up to buy an SSD, but if I win this, I wouldn't have to.
