  1. If you can find a motherboard for it, the x79 xeon s are still very strong gaming CPU's and can be found for really cheap! The boards are where you'll get a lot to pay for but if you don't mind looking at some older server stuff then you can get a really good deal
  2. Hello all! Long time no see! Currently I'm working on slightly upgrading my "new" pc (x5450, 7870, 6GB ram) by adding more ram to the system. Now the problem is that I'm not really all that knowledgeable on DDR2 Ram and buying it used on Ebay is confusing me a little bit. I can't just buy a single stick as I currently have 4 sticks in my system equaling 6GBs and its throwing off errors and it's just not enough (I also think it's holding back my overclocking a bit). So now, my question is when it comes to looking for good DDR2 ram, what brand should I look for? Samsung or hynix? I know my motherboard supports DDR2 1066 but I think DDR2 800 is fine and also, a lot of the listing say stuff like "AMD system only" or "AMD ram" would this matter? I know a lot of what you'll see on ebay is old server stuff and I'm fine with that. Any help would be appreciated greatly and I'm looking forward to being back on the forum after my long hiatus! System specs that matter: Intel xeon x5450 3.5GHZ Radeon 7870 (horrible overclocker btw) 4GB Samsung 800 ram 2GB gskil rip jaws 800 ram Intel 535 ssd Oct triton 480 ssd
  3. Steelseries has been known to have pretty bad mouse accel.
  4. People buy alienware mostly because they don't know what they're doing. People buy looks, too. But if someone sees "Oh this PC is faster than this one" that matters to a end user, and thats where the SSD comes in. It just helps sell an item, at least from what i've seen. Also, the 370 is a very good card for $140, 1080P in a lot of games at around 45FPS. Hell my 7870 still does VERY well in games. Now, yes, the 380 would be better, but this can be sold as "entry level, you can ask for more!" Or take some stuff away and make someone pay extra for a SSD, a better case, or what have you. I would just like to add, a PC similar to that is what I've built a few times for people by offering the building service off craigslist. The only difference was they gave me a price and what they wanted to do and I would build around that. So it was mostly GPU changes, no SSD, bigger SSD, and so on. So this is just off my experience in a unofficial business.
  5. Go with something like the R7 370. Around the same price but it does out perform the 750TI from what i've seen.
  6. If you're doing a PC building business and want a entry level gaming PC that can match competition while being, cool, reliable, and fast for gaming. You need to have ALL the parts. A GPU, Memory (it doesn't matter the brand really as long as it's around 1600 speed) and just all around good quality choices. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/T7gF6h Something like that will leave you enough room to put in a parts and labor tax, and charge a tiny bit more for what it is so you can turn a profit. It's competitive, it will out do any gaming pc manufacture in price to performance, and it comes with all the bells and whistles.
  7. Price to performance is bad for it. It's JUST an overclocked 8350, nothing else. Also, i saw somewhere that the MSI 970 krait motherboard and most 970 boards as a whole can't really support the 200+W TSP of the 9 series chips. You would be a lot better off spending the $125 US on a 8320 and a $100 240mm AIO over the $225 of the 9370 and a 120mm AIO.
  8. arma 3 has really good FPS for a arma game, on my crappy PC I still get around 30FPS.
  9. Do not go for a 9370, it's a pointless CPU. Get either a 8320 (not the 8320 E) or a 8350.
  10. Black Ops 3 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
  11. 980 TI Classified, or wait for the Kingpin version and see how well it does.
  12. Arma 3, arma 2 Dayz, and Arma 2 wasteland. BF4 is still VERY active same with BF3. COD4 as well (You will find A LOT of cheaters, tho).
  13. The intellimouse 3.0 is very old and it's a 125Hz mouse (if I remember). It was VERY popular in CSS and CS 1.6 as a good all around mouse. If you want something similar to that check out the FinalMouse. I've heard nothing but good things about it's sensor. The bad that I have heard is the shell is from a MUCH cheaper mouse, but the sensor is supposed to be the best on the market right now. Now, if you want something with like a "sniper" button (This is bad for muscle memory) then the Logitech G502 is probably the best.
  14. But fury isn't going to be under the Rx series> The fury is going to be it's own separate line. So all the Rx series cards are rebadges pretty much with added memory modules.
  15. Deathmatch and casual are the best ways to rank up like that. If you haven't already, get bloodhound and get some extra XP as well!
  16. The built in recorder with the raptr app I think works with mantle.
  17. I think its the FX 6300 if its going off the video.
  18. You should turn on mantle to start, with me, using 1440x900 all high with a 7870 I get around 50+ FPS even on a map like lockers 64 man servers
  19. No one ever said lpkane was good with people, he's horrible at PR. Im waiting for Torbull to respond to this as he is the majority share owner of ESEA and is actually good with people.
  20. im LEM/Eagle and I have a semi-easy time in ESEA. But i've only played two games in the past week. I'd say try cevo and faceit first tho just want to let people know on the misinformation about both these things, the bitcoin thing happened under even the owners noses, then one joked about it. they faced very heavy legal trouble as well ontop of that. Then the next thing, the ESEA client anticheat is always running now, thats true. But if you had it open before all the time it was doing the same thing, its been like that for years

  22. If you need 8 threads get a xeon for cheaper than that CPU, it'll out do it in workstation applications.
  23. There's also a hybrid grip, that can be a mixture of any two of the 3 of theses.
  24. The number one thing I can recommend you do, if amazon allows it where you live, order all the mice you are looking at and try them all out, see what one fits you well. If you cant do that see if a computer shop near you that has a half decent selection of mice and try them all in your hand.
  25. They indeed did do the same thing.
