Call it the 8th Ceiling

I... I can't...

Ok, Well good luck report back fi you have any problems

alright

sry i put it in both troubleshooting and powersupply forum to get more help and i didnt know which one was more appropriate first time here

Yeah it's troubleshooting and if you want to reply to somebody hit "quote" or mention them with @lecreuset or whatever their name is

The 290X gets about 100 more KH/s, and for mining getting the 290X would then be better because you are making a lot more, and you are using the same amount of power from the wall.

Yeah, I'm gonna go for a 290X especially with only $100 difference for 200 KH/s more (using 2 of them)

On Icloud it would not and on your computer it should not because i have my phone and ipad backed up to icloud and there is no problem 

I'll try that then

double post @WoodenMarker

No

Well If you plug it in you can back it up to icloud and to your computer so i would do which ever one you want but i think you may want to reset it or take it to an apple store but that should be the last resort

Well the thing is if I back it up it'd over ride my phone.

Have You hooked it up to a computer and tried to reset it?

I haven't, but it isn't backed up to iCloud..

Hmm, I'd probably get the 2 Asus 290x's over the Gigabyte 290's if it's just $100 difference.

Well that works I suppose

It's on iOS 7.0.3

On the lockscreen it shows the App Store (as in minimized to delete the app from recently used)

The App Store doesn't have any names or pictures for apps it's just completely white

It won't power off. The power button doesn't do anything

Other than the app store it only shows the background and the top (battery, servicer, and time) and it won't pull down

It won't move in anyway

It can't be unlocked since it can't move

So, what the heck is wrong with it?

Those GPU's are still expensive. They're like $40 cheaper in Australia for the Gigabyte models.

Getting two Asus 290X is $100 more than two Gigabyte 290 (USD)

For the ~ $150 difference the 290x doesn't get that much more than the 290...

To be honest it really doesn't

Two 290X's will kickass at 1080P. You will get 60+FPS in every game on max settings.

they're 290s period

It's cheaper to get 2 290's than the X models.

I know that's what I will be geting

Well, based on this guys profile and other posts/topics I am 99.9% sure that he is going to mine. And the X models WILL be better for that.

I will mine but I'll game too

Koss UR22i are comfy as heck and around 40 dollars

Hi guys,

I am planning to build myself a computer within the next 6 months to replace my laptop because it is awful (Toshiba Satellite c660-28r). I will be using the computer for everything but I want it to be primarily aimed at getting the best gaming performance (I would like to be able to play Crysis 3 at 1080p, 60fps, at high to ultra quality. I don't mind if I have to turn some settings down if the budget isn't enough). Also, I live in England if that helps with picking parts. 

As I have said in the title, my budget is £1500 (which is just over $2500) and want the best gaming performance possible from that budget. Since I have never had a PC, I need the whole set up which includes PC, monitor, keyboard, OS, speakers (I would rather have integrated speakers as my desk isn't all that big), basically the whole works.

I'm very OCD when it comes to looks so I would like for most of the parts to stick to a red/black theme and have a case with a massive side window so people can see the hard work I have put into the build.

Can people please suggest alternatives to me to get better performance 

 

My build plans so far:

 

CPU: Intel i5 5670K (can be AMD or Intel, I don't care. If you did pick an AMD processor, I would probably pick the Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z)

CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VI Hero (I would like a red/black motherboard if possible)

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro Series Red, 2x4GB, 1600mhz

Storage: Samsung 840 Evo 120GB SSD (This will be my boot drive)

              Seagate Desktop SSHD, 2TB, 3.5" (This will be my main storage drive)

              Seagate Barracuda, 2TB, 3.5" (This drive will back up the SSHD. I have just experienced 2 of my HDD failing in quick succession without having a backup so I'm all about safety now)

Video Card: Sapphire R9 280X Toxic (Shame about the colour )

Case: Inwin GRone Metallic Grey (As I said, I would like a large side window and a black/ red and black colour scheme)

PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty 750W ( I chose this because of the looks more than anything (dem red LED's). You can change this to something if you think it is not very good but please make it something black. I can live without the LED's).

ODD: Pioneer BDR-208DBK (I would like to have an ODD with BD read/write but I could live without the write if I have to)

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Monitor: Asus MX279H (I would like it to be 27", 60Hz, 1080p and stylish)

Keyboard: Gamdias Hermes ( I would like a mechanical with red, brown or some kind of quietened blue switch. I would also like it to be full sized with some macro keys)

 

With that list, it totals at £1498.77 from the cheapest sources. I would really not like to spend over £1500 if possible. Later, if I need a gaming headset, I would probably choose the Gamdias Hepheatus but if you have any alternative suggestions, I'm all ears (haha, geddit? Ears, headphones. lol).

 

Thanks

You will probably be fine with one at 1080p. Obviously 2 will give better mining performance, but it's up to you for mining. If you plan on gaming at above 1080p, you might want to get two. If not, you can always add another later on when you're not getting enough performance. 

I'll go with two and see what happens. I'm going at 1080p

If you're set on mining (along with gaming), go with an R9 290.

 

If you just wanted to game and not spend as much, get a 780. If you wanted to get the best possible gaming performance from one card, get a 780Ti. 

I plan on getting this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr929oc4gd but should I get two like I was going to do with the R9 290X or should I get a single 8GB?

no,go with this if you want to mine and it has a very good cooler. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr929oc4gd

Alright

If you're mining, don't go with Nvidia. Go with an R9 290 (Non X)

Alright which would you recommend of those? This computer will be mining/gaming

Here's a 780 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42784kr

 

And a 780Ti (Most powerful single GPU card) http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42884kr

Now would they still be good for mining?

You don't know a thing about computers? You must have watched LinusTechTips before joining the forum. They taught me a lot.

I didn't

Yah a 780 or 780 ti are cheaper than 290x (780 ti being about 100 USD less) because of the mining craze. I'd personally get an Nvidia card untill the price for Radeon's decrease. Unless you play Battlefield and want Mantle, or want TrueAudio

I don't plan on playing battlefield or want trueaudio, but I do plan on mining

OC means overclock. (Basically increasing the speed and performance of a processor) 

 

If you wanted something that will perform around the same and run cooler and MUCH quieter than the visiontek card, you could go with a Nvidia GTX 780. They're cheaper than 290Xs too

I don't overclock and I can't find an Nvidia GTX 780 on pcpartpicker could you try to link one?
