?Snarky?

the i3-6100 will let you upgrade to an i5 or an i7 later without purchasing a new motherboard and RAM where as the AMD FX will not. end of the story.
Don't lock yourself on such old outdated hardware with abysmal single-threaded performance.

you do realize that Single threaded performance will matter less and less.
Hell, it ALREADY matters less then it did 2 years ago.
 
get with the times.
 
The real performance is multi-threaded SCALING. (not directly multi-threaded performance, but how well each core scales).
 
PS: Intel is still better in scaling. But the difference is not nearly as stark as the one between single threaded scores.

Best portable device to bring for LAN parties with everyone. A must purchase device.

WARNING : HARDWARE PORN ENTER WITH CAUTION! So i just feel like my 3960x and 7970 build is starting to show age so i went ahead and built myself a new pc that i named "Quantum Code" i mainly named it Quantum after Quantum Computers and Code because its going to be abused for Coding,Programing,Rendering etc...
Here are the specs
i7 4790K
Corsair H100
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gb (4x4gb) DDR3-1866Mhz
Asus Maximus VI Formula
Samsung 850 Evo Pro 256GB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB
EVGA GTX 980 Superclocked (2x)
EVGA Pro SLI Bridge
Corsair 750D
Corsair RM1000
Asus BW
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q (27",144Hz)
Razer Kraken 7.1
Custom Green Cable Kit
Razer Blackwidow
LED'S
Any comments why this why that are allowed,happy to hear your guys comment
 
 
 

And?
Overkill or not, it's a great rig  and an i5 would bottleneck the 1080 depending on the game. 

As it is a locked CPU, you won't even need a Noctua NH-D15... This might be ideal for you - Noctua NH-U9S (approx. 55 euros)

As you can see, it's got excellent reviews from everyone who bought it. Excellent value with superb performance!

I personally use a Hyper D92, its cheap, better than the Hyper 212 evo, and keeps my 6700k at 4.6ghz under 70*C while folding with all the horsepower it can. AIO liquid coolers are nice, but a pain in the ass to deal with when they fail and dont offer enough performace compared to an air cooler to justify their price. I owned an GTx h100i and it was good while it lasted, but the backplate is garbage and it doesnt seem to secure very well, as mine loosened up over time.

85c is alright for load temps.

i5, fx line is crap

Take the i5, then disable Turbo Boost and set its multiplier to 33 so it always runs at 3.3GHz instead of 2.7

An RX 480 @1425 mHZ, 1150 mV, strapped to a cheap Msi H81 (i7 4790K), running a heaven loop for 7 hours (and counting)
 
No observable damage. 

They should be, but I'd not go below around $50 in terms of price

Alright then. Thanks

Holy crap guys, I didn't expect that many replies. The information is well appreciated! 
So to sum it up, 
1) Having the Rx 480 is fine on my motherboard 
2) Don't overclock the card 
Just for those who happen to chance upon this thread. 
 

Basically as long as you're spending more on the motherboard than the gpu and only from the last couple of years you might be fine...

The 480 is not slower, drivers are just immature, and some reviewers even used the wrong drivers for their reviews. I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion it's slower than a 970 and 390 when it competes with a 390x and even Fury in some games.

To his defense, some of Corsair's products are absolute garbage. e.g Corsair VS PSU series

Hardware and iOS is locked down

MacOS is as customisation as you want, possibly more so than windows, as its based on Unix you can manage kernel level functions from terminal and run your own scrips and extensions 
 
iOS is locked down for security reasons
 
Yes hardware repair replacement is more difficult but I would argue their build quality and increased reliability negate this to SOME degree, and they keep their resale value so you can easily sell one after a few years and have a good amount of money back to upgrade
 
 
 
Personally
most tech companies are shady, they are big companies, trying to sell  products and make money - this always breeds bullshit 

 

No, they are Mac heathens Hey, we had to all learn to deal with the fact OS X is said "OS 10", they can get confused by our glorious MSX

Don't get a previous generation card it's not worth it given the huge performance improvements on the newer generations. If you can afford a rx480, get it and even if the i3 bottlenecks it you can upgrade it later down the line( or just save a bit more and get an i5).

Also...  Be mindful of G-Sync vs  Free-Sync...  I think there are a few monitors that support both... but, usually it's one or the other.  Free-Sync is for AMD cards, and G-Sync is for NVidia

correct...  30 frames per second on a 144Hz monitor, still looks and feels like 30 frames per second on a 60Hz monitor.

Quick explanation...
 
The Refresh Rate (60Hz, or 144hz, depending on your monitor) is separate from the Frame Rate.
 
Frame Rate is how fast your video card can render the frames of video to send to the screen.  This is the performance measurement you typically see in benchmarks that usually reported in minimum , average, and maximum. 
 
The Refresh Rate is the rate that your monitor re-draws the image on the screen.  This is a constant process, on a 60Hz monitor, even when you are just sitting at your desktop, the monitor takes the image from your video card and draws that image to the screen 60 times per second.   With 144Hz monitor (when set to 144Hz, some can be adjusted) it draws that desktop image to the screen 144 times per second.
 
When you are playing games these two things work together...  The video card sends the frames to the screen at the rate it can render the image...  So, if your video card is running a game at 30 frame per second, and your monitor is a 60Hz monitor... then the monitor is drawing each frame twice, then moving on to the next.  If your video card is running a game at 60 frames per second, then your monitor is drawing each from once, then moving on to the next one being sent by the video card.

with a 60Hx monitor, that is the maximum number of frames that the monitor can draw... even if the game is running at 120 fps...  This just means that each frame is drawn about half-way, and then the video card sends the next frame and the rest of the screen is drawn with that frame...  this causes "tearing"...  VSync makes the video card synchronize the timing of sending frames to the refresh rate, and even if it "could" run at 120fps... it will lock at 60fps to run at the same rate as the monitor refresh.
 
for the 144Hz monitor, you can use G-Sync and it will be able to synchronize the frames and the monitor refresh all the way up to 144Hz which makes it a lot smoother ...  But, if you are playing games that your system can only run at 30fps... then a 144Hz monitor is not going to do anything for you...  Because even though the screen is refreshing at 144Hz... it is still only drawing the 30fps that the video card can send it...

The Rx 480 (based on what I've seen) will be great for the games you listed.   If you are planning on getting The Division, that one will be stressing that 480 so you may have to play with the graphics settings a little bit more to get higher frame rates.  First things to drop (in my opinion) are Anti-aliasing, Physics  (if that is an option) ,Ambient Occlusion, and shadows.  For the other games listed you should stay WELL ABOVE 60fps...  Not sure what information you've gotten fro others about your monitor, but a 144Hz monitor does not mean you "have" to have 144fps performance.  Higher refresh rates help to make the video smoother from frame to frame.
