Not necessarily non-techie. But just went to Alienware's site to make fun of them and on their Aurora they offer an AMD 8990. So apparently Alienware has access to a GPU that will never exist.
 
EDIT:
Also on their X51 they offer a GTX 760 Ti.

I have had the same problem before. It is because either A: to many mods or B: to little RAM. Try 2 or 3gb it shoud work after that.

Console: The human eye can't see over 24FPS, also Resolution is just a number.
 
PC Master Race: ALL THE FPS'S and ALL THE PIXELS! 4K B****!!!!

Why do you need a liquid cooler for a locked CPU?

Damn, you should have invested in a better CPU.
So make sure you have 64 bit Java and the most recent if possible. Then allocate some more ram to it (max I would say is 4 GB)

Is your render distance too high? I had the same exact problem and turning down render distance fixed it

It's a good board, but there's much better value options like the MSI gaming 5

But my R7 240 can mine right?

I would go with at least Gold, and overshoot the amount of wattage by about 20% or what ever power level your power supply runs most efficiently at. So if your PSU runs best at 81% load than overshoot the amount of wattage needed for the components by 19%.

I would go with the 2nd build, but drop down the GPU to either a 2gb 770 or an EVGA ACX SC 760 for only $200(USD) on amazon.
 
EDIT:
@SilverKnight is correct, with a non-K series processor you do not need a after market CPU cooler since you won't be OC'ing anyway.

The only response this thing deserves is DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!! That thing looks BOSS! #RepublicOfGamers

I finish almost every single game I play. The only one I haven't beat that I still own is Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Strictly because I cannot put my eyes through the pain of those graphics.

Instead of buying a 780ti buy yourself a Z97 motherboard like the Z97-G55 SLI, a Pentium K and a GTX 760, perhaps push to buying a 500W PSU from EVGA/Corsair.
 
You can then slot a new CPU in later and a lot of games will run pretty well in the system with the Pentium K (G3258)
 
That is a balanced upgrade, putting a 780ti in an old system is a terrible way to allocate money.

Blue switches require a greater actuation force and have an audible click and tactile bump when you type. Reds have none of those things, so they glide smoothy and require less force to press, good if you bottom out keys when you type.

Hey tmc, there is this thing called "The Code of Conduct". You should really read it sometime.

I wouldn't do my shopping on eBay in the first place. Sometimes people try to rip you off...

I'm looking to build what is essentially my dream computer. I don't have a hard budget in mind. Essentially I just don't want to make any compromises in my system. However I don't want to get things that are pointlessly expensive. Having said that, a good enough justification for added cost could be something like matching color schemes for me.
I'm looking to build a quiet, mid tower monstrosity with a clean and classic look to it. I want to have a 2x3 surround monitor setup. Having said that, I don't plan on gaming with all 6 monitors unless I can shift the camera focus to the bottom center monitor, and even then it would only be occasionally and for the novelty. Mainly I want to play on the bottom three monitors in surround and have the top three be for multitasking. I want to be able to edit videos, music and photos. I want to use my machine to stream gameplay as well. I am also a CS major so I do a lot of programming and want the 6 screens mainly for the workstation value of them. The games I like to play are league of legends, warcraft, and various fps games (I'm aware that you can't use surround monitors on league).
I plan on water cooling and overclocking this machine about 2-3 months after I build it. Just going to run it with stock air coolers for now.
Here's what I have in mind right now:
GTX Titan Black x2 running in sli
NZXT H440 Steel mid tower white
-Im worried that there won't be enough room for the water cooling later unless I don't include my two backup HDDs. Does anyone know who has built in this case?
ASUS Rampage IV Black eddition
-I assume that a lot of these features are useless to me but the board just looks too good and fits with my black and white scheme. Justifyably expensive in my eyes lol. Unless anyone has another suggestion?
Corsair AXi series AX860i
-Im not sure if this will be enough power for dual GPU and the water cooling I'll be adding later to overclock. Also plan on buying the custom sleeved white cables from corsair.
i7 4930k Ivy Bridge-E
Corsair Dominator Platinum 8g sticks x4
Dell U2414H IPS monitor x6
-I wanted to go with IPS because of the viewing angle problems with 6 monitors. Couldn't really find anything with smaller bezzels and vessa mounts. Also worried that the bezzel near the bottom of the screen being larger than the sides and top might be too jarring of a difference between the two rows. Not sure what vessa mount to get.
Intel 240g 730 series SSD x2
-Plan on running these in raid zero.
Western Digital red NAS HDD 3tb x2
-Plan on running these in raid 1.
I'm looking for advice concerning this build. This is just a rough idea of what I want to get. I've only spent like a week working on it so far. This is going to be my perfect computer so want to min/max everything and every detail. Any help would be appreciated. Probably not going to buy all of the parts for a couple months.
I apologize for not adding links and for all the type-o's. Posting this from my phone right now.

What sad sad people there are in this world...
There is more to life than video games.

You could always buy a GTX 750 Ti as a placeholder and then swap out early 2015 when the 20nm gpus are out.

NEVER RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE!!!!

Why get an R9 270x? Just oc an r9 270.
