Had a PS3 just for exclusives. Uncharted, GOW, and others.

SSD: Intel - always great, reliable.

Hyper 212X is a great cooler.

Mobo: Take the 8 + 2 phase design one - It's going to be better for overclocking.

Huh. 3570K better than FX-8350? Don't think so.

I'd change my i5 to that FX-8350 anytime if i could.

This always happens to me when i play alone - can't play more than an hour, unless it's a strategy.

RAM: Get Kingston HyperX RAM - they have a lifetime warranty and they're really cheap.

SSD: You really can't go wrong with the Intel 330 series - I think the sweetspot right now is the 180 GB model.

CPU cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo or the Hyper 212X would cool that FX8350 decently, but if you need better cooling look at the Noctua NH-D14 or that Phanteks dual tower heatsink - the best air coolers out there and they in cooling performance are inbetween the H80i and H100i, but they cost a lot less.

One thing to remember is you don't get PCIe 3.0 support with the AMD processor.

Right now i'm thinking this or a new mouse for around the same price to replace my good old mx518.

apparently it not cherry but I guess its mechanical?

Steelseries OcK+ best mouspad ever! :D

oh not cherry :D Mechanical - then still good even if not cherry?

I was looking for a mechanical keyboard on amazon.co.uk and i found this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zalman-ZM-K500-USB-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B00A53LCQ8/ref=sr_1_44?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1358886020&sr=1-44

Seems to be cherry MX red, tenkeyless. But what surprised me was the price - 34.87 GBP. So is it really a mechanical keyboard? Worth buying if currently using a membrane keyboard that i like? And are MX Red's good, i had previously looked into MX Brown keyboards, but my budget is very low right now, just got a new pc. Or can anyone suggest a MX Brown keyboard that costs dirt like this one?

Bought a used PS3 to play Uncharted games, God of War, L.A. Noire, NHL games, Red Dead Redemption, other console only games. Sold everything now and got a new IPS monitor. Great experience though, kinda wish i still had it - i played ir rarely, but it was sure fun with friends. Maybe i'll get a next gen console, when they are on sale/drop price/used.

Soo mainly PC - but consoles are good for exclusives, and party play.

Run it from your DP port on your videocard.

If it's a CD-ROM just get a DVD drive - no adapter shit.

Best case ever... If i just had the money... I'd load it up with EVGA SR-X + Dual Xeons + 4 way SLI GTX 680 and run it all watercooled with a 480 mm rad on top and a 360 mm rad on the front.

Let's see what happens - at least AMD is good with the graphics side of things. Still waiting what they will bring with steamroller - hoping for good performance per core, and good performance in games.

That won't solve the problem. It's gonna be using my CPU, and not take advantage of CUDA at all.

Gigabyte GTX 660 OC edition - my first PC. :D

Gigabyte GTX 660 OC edition

So i have a problem when i try to render my video. I choose the GPU to render my movie - and then an unknown error pops out. Shame - CUDA was one of the reasons i went with nvidia. I have the latest drivers installed (not the beta ones). Anyone got a solution?

What strategy games do you like guys? I'm personally really waiting the SimCity game to come out - looks like a great simulation. Playing Empire: Total War alot.

He probably doesn't edit stuff on that PC at all. I think that PC for him is just for like sitting down and surfing the web, playing some games when he has time - and for the enjoyment of building it. But he doesn't really have that much free time i think - baby and stuff...

I prefer MSI though i use myself a gigabyte motherboard and videocard - msi was out of stock and i needed the motherboard. For motherboards MSI because - they look great, have good features, are good price/performance, example - MSI Z77A-GD55. For videocards they're all great but the early Power Editions from MSI on GTX 660 Ti and GTX 670 kicked everyones ass. Personally i use a videocard with a windforce cooler - cools great.

People who should be interested in that kind of case must be running an EVGA SR-X mobo atleast dual graphics and dual cpu's all watercooled. If you don't have a system like that 800D all the way. And 4 USB3 ports? Maybe on LGA 1150 or an Extreme edition Haswell mobos they will have dual USB3 headers - who knows.
