  1. Userreviews are very positive 4.5 out of 5 stars, so steelseries must be doing something right in that pricesegment with this specific mouse! The other mice named above are twice the price of the rivas100. You can not compare mice that far apart, totally different.
  2. I do not agree with maxbunny, it is the best budget mouse on the market by far, nothing comes close atm because this mouse did not cut features. The sensor is fine, I think maxbunny has the sensors mixed up because the mouse has the Pixart SDNS-3059-SS sensor and not the older version. It is a great product and really cheap, truly one of if not the best bang for buck mice.
  3. If you are going for a 2011-v3 cpu, the MSI X99A SLI plus or the MSI X99S SLI are a good budget option, they have a ton of features and the lowest pricepoint.
  4. The case can handle 165mm height. Low budget coolers are : - Xilence I402 - Rajintek Aidos - Rajintek Themis - Maybe the Deepcool Assasin 2 (167mm), contact the manufacturer. This is a big cooler, but chances are it fits, deepcool can not be that stupid that they would make a red/black cooler that does not fit into their red/black case. Going for even smaller coolers is ridiculous with a 6600k. Imho: If you are so obsessed with the color red and cheap coolers, you are better off buying a 6500 cpu and not 6600k.
  5. Maybe this rig is fine for a vive, only thing i have doubts about is if their is enough memory on the gpu's. I would test the current rig and see how it fairs, upgrade gpu's afterwards if needed. https://www.htcvive.com/us/product-optimized/
  6. Imho people here are too negative towards this approach, I actually like it and did it myself too (a G3258-rig last year). Many forumusers here do not understand that not everybody has got 1000 euro to spend. Most games still use 1 or 2 cores and in the future he can upgrade to a quadcore if need be, it is fine so long he accept that. Used parts are also a nice way to go. 1) G4400 is fine, the 1151 non-overclockable equivalent of the G3258; 2) I suggest you get a mobo with USB type-C if you want futureproof. These cost a little more but the mobo is the base of your futureproof build so it is not a bad idea to spend 20 euro more on your mobo i.e. Gigabyte GA-B150N Phoenix-WIFI (cheapest mobo on pcpp with type C); 3) Get 1x8GB or 1x16GB memory so you can upgrade later on if need be, because alot of budget mobo's have 2 memoryslots (or atleast the mobo stated above); 4) Get a psu that can handle intels c6/c7 state well; 5) buy a used gpu with the help of this linus-topic below. A good bang4buck used gpu so you can easily stay within your budget. In the Netherlands i can find used 7950's for around 50/75 euro's which doubles the performance of a 750ti, just saying... The above should keep the price very low but still offer you good upgrade-ability, which is almost the same as your approach I just tweaked it a bit to maximize performance and upgrade-ability to my liking: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Pentium G4400 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor (€62.89 @ Amazon Deutschland) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B150N Phoenix-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard (€106.77 @ Amazon Deutschland) Memory: Crucial 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory (€31.75 @ Mindfactory) Power Supply: be quiet!

  7. I have a mobo+memory+E6750 lying around and i can play most games on that, certainly csgo, sc2, lol and civ5 etcetc.
  8. Only 2 memorybanks so maybe get 1 strip of 16GB and get an ssd.
  9. I suggest more memory and 2 ssd's when you go for a 5820k, 3Dcad often uses swapfiles/partitions, the luxurious processor won't matter much when the performance of your rig depends for the most part on the total memory you got installed and after that the speed of your storage setup (which contains the swap file or partition).
  10. Maybe buy an ssd+memory in a store and buy a used 8370, after that save money for a completely new rig.
  11. You can upgrade the computer (including w10) with a better processor and memory or more storage in the future.

  12. CAD - More cores benefits mostly tasks like rendering. - More memory benefits 3Dcad software that uses a swap-file or a swap-partition. When the "memory-need" exceeds the psychical memory present in the system, alot of software will switch to swap-file instead of your memory. When that happens your systems performance will be throttled by the performance of your storage-setup. Therefore larger assemblies will benefit alot from more physical memory. MATLAB - To speed up computation, Parallel Computing Toolbox leverages NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 2.0 or higher. MATLAB does not support computation acceleration using AMD or Intel GPUs at this time. General In the end your budget decides which components you buy, highend is always better. - Quad core cpu (with hyperthreading) or better; - 2x16GB or more ram to start with, if you notice drops in performance, simply add more memory (this depens on how large your assemblies are and which software you use); - Mobo with atleast 4 or 8 memoryslots, depending on the socket you want to use; - SSD's and harddisk configuration, you probably need ssd-storage for an OS and one for the swap-partition or swap-file. You can also choose to use a raid 0 configuration if your assemblies are humongous; - Get a cardreader and a dvd writer, some cases alrdy have a cardreader pre-installed; - A mobo with usb type C could be handy for future purposes. - If you want a software certified nvidia gpu or a standard nividia 950/960/970 or better home gpu, is up to you. Edit 1/add: I bought my rig a year ago which I use for 3Dcad solid works and gaming. After a small upgrade I will have a xeon quadcore+hyperthreading, 24GB memory, ssd's and harddisks+nvidia 960mini. But i use the 3Dcad software for small to mediocre sized assemblies (like designing pc cases and other sheetmetal assemblies). This rig would probably not perform well when used for bigger assemblies, but is fine for the stuff i want to use it for at home. Edit 2/add: If I would partpick a system for a similar purpose today and on the same tight budget, i'd probably buy something like this : PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230 V5 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($252.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock H170A-X1/3.1 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard ($79.98 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Aegis 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($85.85 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($46.98 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 960 4GB Video Card ($199.99 @ Micro Center) Case: NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($36.99 @ SuperBiiz) Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($34.98 @ Newegg) Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($18.89 @ OutletPC) Total: $811.64 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-05-11 02:16 EDT-0400
  13. I think the lesson from tomshardware cpu guide learned is that more threads is better for streaming. So try to find a quadcore+hyperthreading or better within your budget .
