Right. So it's my first time building a PC. I've come from knowing that bigger numbers are usually better, to a newbie. I understand what goes into a computer and the very basics required. I'm looking at parts for a budget gaming PC. I'd like to run new games at 30 fps on medium settings. But first, I have a few questions. These are all based on this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3yUqK 1. Will all these parts fit together? 2. Is everything necessary here? Like will this connect to the internet? 4. Are there cheaper alternatives to what I have here? 5. Tell me if there's anything wrong with this or anything I might need? 6. Can anyone give a benchmark or approximate an FPS on ultra for modern games? 7. If I buy a part now, and build the rest 3 weeks later, will ESD build up if I leave parts in the packaging (not opening it at all) ? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, This is my first build, so I'm worried that might be overlooking come issue or bottleneck, or anything. These are the parts I intend to use: Mobo: Asus P9X79 LE ATX LGA2011 CPU: Intel Core i7-4820K RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked ACX SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM PSU: Corsair RM 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX (I intend to SLI later on) CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Optical drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE Wifi Adapter: TP-Link TL-WDN4800 802.11a/b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) If you have any suggestions/tips/warnings or ideas of any sort, regarding my build, please let me know. Thanks!

Hey guys, I'm just going to get straight to the point - my Samsung 840 Evo SSD boots to Windows 7 64bit in about 50 seconds. From what I understand, the drive should be a lot faster than this. My motherboard only has SATA 2 headers, so understandably the boot time will not be as fast as the same drive in a SATA 3 header, but surely it shouldn't decrease the performance by that much. I've installed Samsung Magician to try and optimize the drive and have done everything possible in the software to improve it, however this made no difference; I even enabled RAPID mode which practically doubled my read/write speeds but made no difference in boot time. After looking through many other forums, I've enabled AHCI and made sure trim is also enabled, updated my SATA driver to the latest available for my motherboard and made loads of tweaks in the BIOS which other people have claimed improved their boot time; yet still there is no improvement what so ever. Surely I must be missing out a crucial setting somewhere that is causing the boot time to be this slow. This only other thing I can think of is that I have an additional 2 HDDs connected to my motherboard, which may have something to do with it decreasing boot time even though my OS is installed to the SSD. My system specs: ASUS M5A78L-M USB3 Motherboard AMD FX-4170 Processor 16Gb Ram EVGA GTX 660 2gb Samsung 840 Evo 120Gb SSD Seagate Barracuda 1Tb HDD Old Seagate 150Gb HDD Any solutions that you think may help will be greatly appreciate. Thanks in advance for your time. All the best, Pugizimo

This is my first post so if I'm doing anything wrong tell me! I tried out popcorn time when I heard about it on a Netlinked Daily segment on YouTube and when it was discusses about on the WAN show I decided to make this post. Torrent streaming in the form of popcorn time's has existed for quite a while. While I can't give any specifics it has been around for longer a few months, I got it at version 1.2 about 3 months ago. Now onto the stuff you actually want to hear, what is this magical service that allows the free streaming of torrented movies and TV shows and where do I get it? Well it's not quite that simple. The service is called MashUp and it is an addon for XBMC. This means it can be installed on Windows, Mac, Android, Jailbroken iOS, Jailbroken Apple TV, Linux and even Raspberry Pi unlike Popcorn Time's windows only installation AFAIK. There's even an option to install XBMC as a standalone OS running on top of a linux shell! The installation takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes depending on the device and your familiarity with XBMC. It starts a little like this. 1. Go to http://xbmc.org/download/ and select the type of device you want to install XBMC on, both the 12.3 Frodo release and 13.0 Gotham beta are reliable, I've been using Gotham since it was released and it has been flawless. 2. Go to http://www.mashupxbmc.com/ and go to the install page, follow the instuctions given in either video or text format to add MashUp to your addons. 3. Go into the MashUp app and enjoy free movies and TV shows. I am not saying this service is either legal or ethical however if you were using Popcorn time this is essentially the same thing, just click on a category and the app presents you with thumbnails of the movies you are looking at. They will often have anywhere from CAM theatre copies (if you're into that) to 720 and 1080 copies of released movies to HD copies of TV episodes that often come out the day after the episode airs. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!

I've had this issue for a while now but it has only come to annoy me since I installed my new SSD! The problem that I'm having is that when the GPU (GTX780) is installed, my boot time is significantly increased. Here are some quick figures, from power button press to windows! Graphics card removed, conected via VGA from motherboard. Boot = 20 seconds Graphics card inserted, connected via HDMI from graphics card. Boot = 100 seconds (90 on bios screen) In addition to this Im also unable to access the bios while the graphics card is inserted. Anybody have any idea why my graphics card is Making my boot time 5 times slower. Graphics Card - Evga GTX 780 SC w/ACX Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV (rev. 2.0)

I am torn between these three options, 1, 2, or 3. Please help me choose, my main use is gaming and this is my new computer after 5 years, so I'm very excited and nervous about making the right choice. NOTE: I already have decided on the Case, Power Supply and Operating System, so don't ask about those. (The Power supply is 1000W so good enough for any, and the case is a Define R4, which should fit anything) I PREFER IT IF YOU ANSWER LIKE THIS: x (build you think is the best 1, 2 or 3) xxxxxxxxx (Short reason why you think it's the best) THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I have 2 days to make up my mind before ordering the parts. OPTION #1: OPTION #2: OPTION #3:

I am looking into buy a monitor for editing work and gaming. I would like for the monitor to have good color callibration and at least a 60hz refresh rate? I thought the Asus ProArt ips monitor looks like a very good monitor for color quality: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/23-asus-pa238q-professional-proart-led-ips-monitor-1920x1080-6ms-250cd-m-500000001-black But are the colors on other monitors really that bad? And also very importantly is a 6ms a bad response time especially for gaming? Right now I occasionally play tf2 on a TV (using a pc) and i'm not sure what it's response time is but I would probably prefer it if it was a little bit faster. Thanks, Blueprint

Hey Everybody, So I am trying to setup the parental controls on my Uncle's ASUS RT-AC66R router. I have tried the latest firmware, and I believe 3 older versions and none of them seem to break the connection if it is already made. If the certain mac address is being blocked at a specific hour you may not brows the internet, open up an games like LoL or WoW, but if the games are already open from an allowed hour which rolls over into an hour that is denied by parental controls then it will continue to work. Does anyone know what to do? I contacted ASUS Tech Support and they recommended factory resetting it and updating to the latest firmware and rebooting it. Other than that they said contact the RMA services. Can anyone verify if their router will break the connection like I described or is it just mine that's not working correctly? Please let me know if this needs more clarification. Thanks so much for all your help! -Jacob

The world's most accurate clock will keep time for 5 billion years
Guest posted a topic in Tech News
The blue cloud of strontium atoms trapped in lasers that powers the clock. (Credit: The Ye group and Brad Baxley, JILA) An experimental clock has set the records for both accuracy and stability, being able to keep time for longer than the Earth has been in existence. There has never, in the history of clockmaking, been a 100 per cent accurate clock. Even the most exclusive pieces of haute horlogerie lose, at the very least, a few seconds per year. Which puts into perspective a new atomic clock built by JILA, a collaboration between the University of Colorado and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The strontium atomic clock is now the most accurate clock ever made, which will neither lose nor gain a single second for five billion years. To put that in perspective, the Earth is only an estimated 4.5 billion years old — and the previous record holder, NIST's Quantum Logic Clock, was only accurate to 3.7 billion years. Time-lapse composite of the clock to show the lasers. (Credit: The Ye group and Brad Baxley, JILA) The clock's stability — that is, the uniformity of its ticks — is also second to none, matching NIST's ytterbium atomic clock unveiled in August last year. The strontium clock works by trapping strontium atoms in a lattice of laser light. These atoms are bathed in a very stable red laser light at the exact frequency that prompts the switch between energy levels — and it's this switch that forms that clock's ticking. "We already have plans to push the performance even more," said NIST/JILA Fellow and group leader Jun Ye. "So in this sense, even this new Nature paper represents only a 'mid-term' report. You can expect more new breakthroughs in our clocks in the next 5 to 10 years." The strontium clock is the first clock to hold both records since the caesium fountain atomic clocks of the 1990s. The full results of the experiment can be read in a paper titled "An optical lattice clock with accuracy and stability at the 10−18 level", published in the journal Nature.

I looked around on the forum and I'm surprised I didn't find a topic about this. Question: How long do you usually take when building a computer from scratch, all the parts in the boxes to having it post and closing the case up? It takes me about 3 hours, sometimes 3 1/2.

Hello everyone! I build my second PC a week ago in the Node 304 and it's the first time using an AIO watercooler, specifically the Corsair H90. I noticed a weird, it's hard to describe honestly, kind of a slight buzzing noise in the pump/radiator/motherboard/fan area, and after some in-depth inspection, it seems to be the radiator thats making this strange noise. At first I thought it was all ok, just one of the downfalls of watercooling, but it has started to bother me lately and I just wanted to be sure if this is normal for an AIO watercooler. So, the obvious question: Is it normal for a radiator on a H90 to make a slight buzzing noise? Just to make sure, it isn't that loud, but it does stand out, even if all the fans are on 12V. I could do a quick recording, but then I would have to actually do something, and I'm lazy. But if this really isn't enough info, I'll make one. All help is very much appreciated!

How long would you recommend running Prime95 for overclocking stress test? I know a lot of people recommend 24 hours, but I would really like to shorten that time. Right now I'm overclocking my i5-3570k (with CM Hyper 212 Evo Cooler) for the first time and I'm starting with 4 ghz. My goal is a stable 4.5 ghz if possible.

Hi guys, I'm sure you noticed the MASSIVE poll. Well, let me explain that. The first 8 7 of those question, list, thingies, are games I've yet to play but own. The last 2 3 are games I feel I should've played or need to play/finish. Essentially, my plan is to have an entire week off (sans 1 day) and play video games the entire time. Thanks to weekends, that means 11 days of fun, minus 1 (a day I literally have to work) and 1 more for our family christmas. So 9 days in total. The questions are set up by category, which are listed (somewhat), and correspond to the days I will be playing said games. It is all multiple choice/answers because I'm not just going to play 1 game strictly for 12-14 hours. I'm going to start with whatever has the highest votes for that day, play a while, then change to the 2nd highest, and so on. If I somehow get through a days worth of games (the indie games category makes this possible, somehow), I will just pickup something from the last 2 and play that. This isn't me advertising, because I have no plans to stream this or anything. I am just asking the community: Of these choices, with my limited time, what should I play first? What should I prioritize? Feel free to leave comments in the thread on whatever you feel like. NOTE: I intentionally put games of the same or similar characteristics (either in fame, hype, genre, origin, or story) in the same category. I desire diversity. I'm used to playing a single genre (JRPG's) for weeks on end. Diversity is good at times. NOTE 2: I put it as "multi-vote" because I want you to basically vote for what you think I would be able to adequately play in that day and still get a feel for the game. Like, play it enough to say "Yeah, I love this game. I'll definitely finish it." or "... Nope. Next." So don't just vote everything. Vote what you think you'd be able to play in a days time and still enjoy. Thanks, Vitalius. P.S. Considering 90% of that is going to be on my PC (emulators for the super old stuff), it goes in the PC gaming section imo. Mods, feel free to move it if you wish, but I don't know where else it would go.

Hello everyone, first time poster here! I'll start this off with a confession, and you probably know what's coming because you've read the topic title. I've been a console gamer for the past 6 years. In my late teens I've switched over to Apple computers because I started studying audio engineering, and I'm very happy I did so, because I graduated and now have a project studio running on an iMac. But when I got one, I obviously couldn't afford a good PC gaming rig, so I got reluctantly got myself an Xbox 360 and had a good time over the years. But those times are over. Neither of the new consoles have impressed me, and PC gaming has been acting all Saruman trying to convert me and stuff. And he succeeded! So here we are, time to build a gaming PC from scratch. My experience: I have never ACTUALLY built a PC from scratch, but I have modified them in the past, follow the industry closely, and have the technical know-how and confidence to start building. I've based my current choices mainly on pro + user reviews, product scores, and bang-for-buck recommendations and some personal choices like the Fractal case. My current list: MOBO: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming / Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K FAN: Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH cpu fan RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1600MHz 2x4GB GPU: AMD Radeon R9 290 non-reference model (TBD in January, probably Sapphire) SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB HDD: Western Digital 1.5TB HDD I've taken out of an old My Book Elite external HDD I don't use CASE: Fractal Design R4 w/ window (includes 2 case fans) PSU: Corsair RM650 modular PSU -> Seasonic M12II 620W modular PSU Samsung whatever DVD drive OS: Windows 8 Now, the parts highlighted in BLUE are parts I'm able to get a 20% discount on, through my job at a consumer electronics store. This basically goes for ANY product from Samsung (SSDs only), Corsair, Western Digital and Sapphire. Updates following LTT awesomeness are in red. 1. Budget & Location I'm from the Netherlands and I use Euros. My current list is worth about € 1100 to 1200 euros, which to the current rates would be about $1500 USD, but prices don't work that way here. The components are more expensive than in the United States. So $1200 to $1300 US dollars is a good target for me. 2. Aim Well as I've told you I use Apple stuff – I know, I know – so I will use my Gaming PC build ONLY for gaming. All my productivity is done elsewhere. What SORT of gaming is a tricky one – it's very diverse. I like casual shooters like CoD and I used to play Battlefield a lot back in the day. I also very much enjoy sim games like SimCity, but on the other hand I'm a big Elder Scrolls fan, so I intend to play a lot of Skyrim with mods. To give you guys something concrete: let's say I want to play Battlefield 4 with everything on ultra at 1080p. I think that gives me enough power to play all easy-on-the-specs and back-catalog games but also the newest games on very high settings for the coming years. I also want to be able to easily upgrade my rig in the future. This will also be the first PC I'm going to overclock the CPU and graphics card. But not too much... 3. Monitors I have one 27" LG IPS277 running a 1920x1080 resolution. I'm not interested in multi-monitor. 4. Peripherals I have everything except a gaming keyboard. But that is excluded from budget. It's all about the rig for now. 5. Why are you upgrading? See intro. Any tips and insight will be very much appreciated guys! Thanks! Jesper

Good day, as you read in the title, I'm looking to watercool my current rig. I want to watercool the motherboard, the RA- Wait, no. Mostly just wanna watercool my CPU and my GPU. Not expecting insanely beautiful things, but something clean. I'd like either blue tubing or blue fluid, but other than that it's you guys' call. Pull up what you can, please.

when will ssd's become affordable?
-
Hey guys and I was just wondering how long does it take before you feel like you need to build a completely different pc. I would like to know from the people who go overboard when building to the budget builders out there.
-
every 30 mins my clock will reset to some random time with a few hours or even a few days so i have tried synchronizing with the internet time as well as manually putting the correct time in but yet again the time will change within 30 min? Brand new motherboard so i know my battery isn't bad?
-
This build is not going to happen just yet, i dont have money or time or space just yet, so things may change later on if new hardware comes out. Just need some advice, guidance and opinions on plan/design. This will be my first build, tips/tricks welcome.

Well here it is my first scratch build, I'm starting university this month(Computer Science) and I have decided to build a awesome rig to get me through it. Hope you like it Specs: Case - Corsair 350D Windowed Motherboard - Asus Maximus VI Gene CPU - Intel i7 - 4770k RAM - Corsair Vengeance Red 16Gb GPU - Palit GTX 780 Super Jetstream PSU - Thermaltake SE 630W Semi Modular CPU Cooling - H100i with SP120 Performance Fans SSD - 256gb OCZ Vector HDD - Toshiba 1Tb 7200RPM Most of the parts will be arriving this Mondays will start posting pics then Bitfenix Alchemy cable extensions just arrived every thing else should arrive later today Whats in the BOXXX ?
