antisleep reacted to VGDtryhard in First Build US $1100-1250 Help?
Damn, are you sure the hype is real? Like there is a confirmed sighting of the hype? Mother of god, this changes everything! Have you informed the president? We need a team on this NOW!
Ok, you got me. I have been on the edge for a while now, and I am finally gonna bite the bullet (or keyboard?) and go for it.
The SLI idea was just my novice attempt at theorizing how to update this build later as it starts to age. I have no idea what I should actually do in a few years.

antisleep reacted to Watashi in Watercooling or Tower cooling for cpu
If you really want NO MAINTENANCE (asides from dusting) than I would suggest an air cooler.
My main reason for this is because although AIO liquid coolers are good, they do suffer from performance degradation (unless you can change the liquid in it) but that would require maintenance. If you are getting adequate temps with air cooling, go with that

antisleep reacted to Glennieboyyy007 in Need help with build
just a small tip. find a build that you like and look on afuture.nl to see if they have those components, most likely they do and it is the cheapest dutch site most of the time.
Dutch:
kleine tip. zoek een computer die je wilt maken en ga erna naar afuture.nl om te kijken of ze die componenten hebben, meestal hebben ze die en zijn ze het goedkoopste van alle nederlandse internetwinkels. succes!

See if there's a Microcenter near you. They offer competitive prices.

antisleep reacted to WoodenMarker in percentage of how much I should spend on each of my pc parts?
The correct parts to get aren't dependent on a ratio of prices and there's no correct answer to your question.
Which parts you should get will depend on what the system is used for, what parts are available, their respective prices, and your budget.
Moved to New Builds and Planning.

Avoid PCworx, they have terrible prices.

antisleep got a reaction from Vishvas Sudarshan in (New build) Can anyone get the price down?
Mainly because of the price/performance but since they're the same price in India I think you're good with the 1060 3G.
Btw it's a cut down version of the 6GB with less CUDA cores. Just keep away from very high quality textures that would tax your VRAM and you should be fine.

antisleep got a reaction from Sreno1 in Gaming PC - First build
I see needless performance. Why 1080 SLI? Do you plan on playing GTA-V Redux on 4K?
I'd rather spend just $2000 on the PC and upgrade again in 3-4 years than drop 4 grand all at once. Future proofing is cost-inefficient, no graphics card is gonna stay relevant for 4 years. Consider the performance degradation of components as well as warranties not being able to keep up.

Hey, if you're not in a hurry with upgrading you might want to wait a little bit for Kaby Lake and Zen CPU's.

antisleep reacted to Gonio in Need advice on GPU or monitor upgrade
You will need that 1080 atleast for that screen. However waiting for years on it is a bit waste of the rest for the setup. I would not wait if you can take it now.

One way to ground yourself is by touching a power supply that's plugged in but is turned off - the switch at the back should be at 0.

antisleep reacted to DogeOfTech in First Build US $1100-1250 Help?
I agree with what he's saying, the water cooled card is nice, but you'd be better off spending the $80 somewhere else, maybe some fans for better overall cooling.
As with the discounts, to explain what he's saying a bit more, you can get some pretty ok discounts in some places where it would make sense to offer a benefit to buying (i.e. cases and GPUs, since it's a competetive market), but when focusing on essential parts (i.e. the CPU), discounts will be VERY scarce since people will keep buying it and theres not much of an incentive to lower the price

antisleep got a reaction from DogeOfTech in First Build US $1100-1250 Help?
Thanks for elaborating. It's ~1:30AM where I'm from and I'm too tired to get into further details.
Monitors, SSDs and peripherals will probs get you the best discounts.

1. Just the looks.
2. You won't notice any difference with the 2666Mhz.
3. None. It's not like GPUs where brands are really taken into consideration.
So yeah, no to all three.

It's a pretty dated cooler so amazon just didn't have the details updated in their site.
I checked the model number on both sites, it's the same cooler.
