AyyLmfao

I'm building a pc soon for my younger brother using the 460x. Unfortunately I heard that placing a 280mm radiator on the top will block the ram slots. I'm using the hero viii as the motherboard. The cpu cooler will be the h115i, and I'll be replacing the fan with the SP140 red led fans. The ram I will be using is Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2A2133C13R 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 Red. Unfortunately the kraken x62 hasn't arrived yet in my country so I couldn't buy it. Will everything fit or will I have to buy an alternative cpu cooler since it's too big?

They're openback, so you're fine on the soundstage side. Also, the sound card should be fine.

I'm going to go for something cheap. Most likely the ad900x. I might consider the msr7. Any tips?

I'm buying an ath-r70x headphone which it runs at 470 ohm. I have the strix raid dlx sound card and I wonder if it can run a beast this well. Another question, I'll be mainly playing overwatch, so how big is the headphone sound stage? Cheers.

pre amps on the ADC side are only for mics that need phantom power, generally.

But it looks like that mic needs phantom power

Hmm. I might change mics. I found out that the microphone on the retailer I'm purchasing in is a few hundred dollars cheaper on storedj. I checked the official Australian site and it says 999 instead of 664 dollars. I'm fishy, so I might buy a different one of the official site (I think it's official anyway.)  I'm deciding between the MK4 OR AT2050. Does any of these need preamp?

You can game on the integrated graphics but I think you'd rather kill yourself than do that. 

I know that but there should no point in saying that. Just stating that you can't compare  gpu and cpu for gaming. They do different things. This website is so laggy. For moblie users anyway.

The cpu is used for running and processing your computer. It is not used for gaming. I don't get how you think of that, it is laughable. The i7 replaces your cpu, not your gpu.

Okay, this sound very stupid to most of yalls, but I just bought my AT4050 microphone, waiting for it to be delivered.  I should of thought this through. I use the Asus Xonar Essence Stx II and just need to know if I need a preamp. Is the microphone jack in the soundcard good enough so that my microphone delivers the best quality or do I need to spend some extra money on an amp?

x34 is 144hz

x34bmiphz (old) is 80hz and overclocks to 100hz (I thought)

 

No, it's 100hz. I checked the website.

It will overall be enough with some small tweaks like high settings for the very demanding games etc, but as already mentioned it depends on games. The addition of Gsync will be your friend anyway.

 

Okay. I will overclock my gpu if I have to. Thanks

In order to reach the 144hz of the x34 you're probably going to use HIGH settings (so not ultra/nightmare/whatever) in most triple A titles, not sure about Rust though.

 

But since the monitor has G-Sync, 60 fps on Ultra settings will still be very nice.

 

60fps is fine for a game like Rust, but I'm pretty sure that the Predator x34 overclocks to 100hz... Correct me if I'm wrong.

So hey people. I'm going to a new monitor soon. I just need to know how well the 1070 performs on the Predator x34. I'm worried about how it performs on a 3440x1440p screen. The most heavily intense game I play rn is Rust. How much fps should I be getting, and what improvements will I notice with overclocking? My specs here:

P.S I want the Kraken x62 as my cpu cooler but it is only available in the US. How long does it take until it ships internationally? I use PCCASEGEAR to get my stuff.

Not sure if you know but the   NZXT Kracken X62 just came out

I know, but it is US only.

A 550W G2 is less expensive and plenty for your system. Don't forget to buy an SSD. Your system would actually have potential to be quite slow without one.

I did include an SSD on my list...

ahh sorry i thought you mistyped and was going to say just  my bad

There's a reason why I said 'R'ust and 'and.'

Ah, ok. As I said, I would get either the RMx or G2. The straight power 10 isnt that great, at least not compared to these PSUs. Seasonic is good too, but that depends on the model. 

 

Ok, I'm probs going to stick with the RMx. I'll just listen on what other people have to say first/

The Corsair RM750x is fine. It's a fantastic PSU.

 

If I would you, I'd personally get a i7 6700K and a beQuiet! PURE ROCK instead of a i5 6600K with an expensive cooler.

 

That's good. I was planning to get the Noctua NH-D15, but it doesn't fit my case. I looked at other videos of people building with the case I want at a similar price, and they including the water cooler, so I thought to myself, 'why not?'

csgo with a 1070....... bit overkill but up to you

Like I said, I play Rust, I don't have any more money to buy and care about other games once I bought my PC

Seasonic PSUs are great from what i heard but the corsair RMx would be good for the system 

That's what most people say

2 minutes ago, Comic_Sans_MS said:

Corsair RMx is amazing. Get it, it wins hands down over the straight power 10.

 

If you want EVGA and Seasonic's competition to the RMx, EVGA has the G2, Seasonic has the X. 

 

 

Thanks for the information. I'm not sure about the G2, I heard complaints that the psu was too loud or/and makes weird noises. I'll definitely check the X.

1 minute ago, rn8686 said:

750W is overkill for a single 1070, 500W is enough. No brand is necessarily better than another, all have made good and bad PSUs. Ask about a specific model, not brand. The RMx is very good, as is the G2. Just buy whichever is cheaper out of those two (For me that is G2, prices will vary by location). 

 

I'm planning to add two 1080's in the future for 4k, but I don't need it now. I play Rust and CSGO, so the 1070 is fine enough for now. I don't want to go on the hassle of buying a new PSU.

Asus 1070 Strix because of rgb.

Hello, strangers on the internet. I'm a new builder and I am quite satisfied with what I have, but I have seen multiple PSU for a similar price. Currently, I am deciding an RM750w and the

Straight Power 10. If you got any other perferences, tell me. I heard that Seasonic and EVGA is a better choice. Is that true? Here is my build:

I'm leaning towards the HD8 DJ Headset. I've seen physical stores like JB-HIFI where the headphone is almost $500, but StoresDJ sell for $350. Thoughts? @xtroria @ShadowCaptain @spwath

Well guys, sport is a game...
