  1. So it has been a while since I posted about this, but I was curious about my motherboard. Would the EVGA Classified X99 be a better choice? It's cheaper and seems to have more upgrade capability but I'm not to sure so I was curious. Thanks
  2. Ok sounds good. What about the other stuff I mentioned? Like the SLI bridge and fans and other things will I need those? Or will the fans come with the case and is an SLI bridge mandatory for SLI? Again complete noob lol. Thanks.
  3. I went with the pro because it came as a combo deal with the cpu. I'll look at it again though thanks. But does the cpu look fine and stuff? I don't think I changed it to much. Also about the other stuff I mentioned, is that necessary? Thanks for all your help again.
  4. Ok so I decided to go over budget to get more storage and changed the cpu for the 5930k so I could have the 6 cores for video editing and this is what I came to. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FvgwGX Any thoughts? I know it is extremely over budget but I don't know. Also, there is a compatibility issue I think. it says my graphics card is to long basically. Is that not really relevant to me? Does it matter at all? Also, I'm going to wait for pascal to see if I want to just upgrade to that or I could just get cheaper 980tis so. Also, is there anything else I will need besides these parts for this computer? Do I need to buy fans or something? Also, I've heard of something called an SLI bridge do I need that to use both graphics cards? Again, I've never done this so I have no idea what I need and what I don't. Thanks again.
  5. Alright, I got a chance to look at the build you recommended and I had some questions. First about the storage. Is a 1 gig ssd enough? I feel that if I was going to be playing games and recording just off of one ssd, performance would take a hit. I don't know though, I could be completely wrong. Also, the power supply. Is 1000 watts going to set me up for the future? Will I be able to upgrade if I decided I wanted to? What about overclocking? I'm just asking, because I have no clue. Also, I'm just going to trust you on the cpu cooler, I don't understand that stuff lol. Thank you very much, have a great day.
  6. Thank you very much good person, I will look at this set up more indepth in a little bit, but thank you very much for your advice.
  7. Before I start this post, I am new to this forum so if I messed something up or left out information, just tell me and I will answer any questions you have. Also, if it isn't to much trouble, please explain why you are recommending a certain build. I would like to understand the future system I could be buying. Thank you. 1. Budget & Location I live in the US, and my budget is 4000 but I'm ok with going over if necessary. 2. Aim The aim of the system is to be able to play games like Arma 3 and 2, The Witcher 3, Dying Light, heavily modded Skyrim, and other highly intensive games on ultra settings while streaming the games with OBS to Twitch and/or recording the games with Action or a capture card, and then be able to edit and render the video. 3. Monitors I plan on running 3 monitors, one 1440 (I haven't bought it yet but I plan on getting the Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q 144Hz 27.0" Monitor, but if you recommend a different monitor please tell me), then two 1080 monitors I already have one but if you recommend a third one, please tell me. 4. Peripherals The monitors were talked about above, but I do need a keyboard. I was thinking of getting the Corsair K95 mechanical gaming keyboard with cherry mx red switches. I don't need a mouse, however, I do need an OS preferably Windows 7. 5. Why are you upgrading? I am upgrading because I foolishly bought a very expensive gaming laptop thinking I would be able to play and record games for decades (which it can barely even play most of the games I want to) to come with the added benefit of it being mobile, but it's basically a tower without the benefits of being a tower. 6. Side notes I know this doesn't matter at all, but I would still like to have a black and red or grey and red setup. I don't mind straying from the color scheme, I just want the system to look good and match. Important note as well, I have fiber optic 1 gig internet so if my system could take advantage of my internet that would be fantastic. Also, I'm a complete newb to building PCs so if you have any tips, tricks, or tidbits please tell me. Even though I'm a newb, I would really like to have a system that could be expanded in the future, so if I wanted to get into overclocking and stuff I could. I might of forgotten some information I wanted to add, so if I did I will just tell you all. Thanks and have a great day.
  8. I think my favorite thing about this notebook would probably have to be the build quality, the signatures, and then probobly the really nice display. It also seems like the perfect laptop for the casual gamer, so I think it fills a nice niche. Thanks
