  1. I never overclocked before... is it hard? Don't want to break my pc. Other than that, Your revision is pretty nice
  2. i agree with cpu, will change. is there much of a difference between 1600 and 2400.. if it's like 1milisecond, I'm not doing it. Not at this moment. I'll do some more research on those two cards. as long as its fully modular, I'm good
  3. I have a ton of patience. Been using hdd for ages. Don't worry though, I do plan on getting and ssd. Just not right now! I'm okay with the case I chose, I just didn't want anything tall. I will get and ssd at a later date.
  4. This build I have here is meant for app development/programming and some high end gaming(csgo/gta5/arma 3). Budget is UNDER $1300 I didn't want a tower and I wanted something small, but with enough space for decent airflow. What suggestion you guys got for my build? (No, I do not want and ssd, please don't force one on me. I already know how good they are! Do not include in build.)

  5. Sorry, darn forum wouldn't let me add a quote to a post I just made. There is a microcenter near me. Will take a 30min drive but yes, it's kind of close.
  6. Man, I would love to get that but now my budget won't allow it. I realy need to keep things under 1350$. Right now that whole build is sitting at 1300$
  7. So after a long while of changing parts like crazy I have finally decided on getting this mini ITX build. I just want you guys to review before I put the money forth to by it.

  8. I'm getting a gtx 770 with my rig and I really want better cooling for it. Do I need a new case? need to add some actual fans?

  9. I've suscribed to linus and watched nearly all of his videos. As cool as the build is, I don't want a 660 at all. I might just get prebuilt as it would be easier to deal with in terms of attaining.
  10. Well, now that I magically have a laptop for college, I really want to spend my 1500$ for a decent gaming rig. They only other thing I have is a keyboard and mouse; everything else I lack. If possible can you guys suggest a build around a gtx770. Thanks for any help.
  11. Sorry for not replying earlier, I wonder why they would put a apu and a 7970m together if they don't crossfire. I just think it would be tedius to have to switch the settings to another graphics options when you want to play more demanding games.
  12. Earlier today I made a post asking for some suggestions for a gaming laptop for my budget of 1500 bucks. A nice gentleman suggested to me this. The very laptop I have now that my mom got has a amd apu, but a much older one. It doesn't come with a dedi graphics card at all so it can't really get good frames. Is the 7970m really compatible with that richland apu in the link, or is a situation where I would have to switch between graphics option ( which sounds like it will get annoying.) Do they both work together? Your thought's please, cause' mine are all jumbled. **Side note, should I just go for a gaming laptop with a 770m? Or will the apu 7970m combo beat it out.
