Future plans for your PC?

[UpsetPeck]

1TB ssd for games.

[Nav1tech]

Really hoping the 980ti will come close to the Titan X performance. If it does ill jump on that banwagon, But its really going to kill my red and black theme,

[Virus__]

A whole new build.

 

Something along the lines ITX form factor with probably a GTX 970 mini, with 4tb mechanical storage and probably an Intel 730 series 240GB SSD.

[Dabombinable]

1 will be a door stop, the other a boat anchor.(Loads of heavy and dead HDD inside an old steel case).

[Fgtfv567]

New GPU, and MAYBE plop an SSD in there.

OH MY GOD THIS.

970 AND 120GB SSD WOULD BE AMAZING!!

[Guest]

New GPU (Pascal in 2016), Dark Rock 3 Cooler, Noctis 450 and ROG Swift.

[TwOne]

OH MY GOD THIS.

970 AND 120GB SSD WOULD BE AMAZING!!

Except I'm going to upgrade from a GeForce 210 to a GTX 750 probably, unless there will be a better low-profile card released.

[Not_Sean]

Need a watercooling loop so i can finally use the CPU for what its worth. 

 

after that is a Mech keybaord and better headphones. 

 

Than finally a second GTX970 

[Dabombinable]

Look for a 750ti, or a 2GB 650ti. Both cards have very similar performance and both have versions that only need to use the PCIe slot for power.

Plans - paint GPUs, tidy up those f*king GPU cables and buy a 2TB WD Green for storage... that 4TB WD Red is getting filled up pretty quickly

[Tim Drake]

Upgrade to a GS800 PSU and add another 970

 

Maybe get a 1440p 144Hz monitor

 

Upgrading case to Air 540 (in a few days)

[Scia]

I have just ordered an update for my PC:

 

Since my Waterloop has corrosion and I really don't feel like buynig a whole new loop I now ordered:

 

Phanteks Enthoo Luxe to replace my Xigmatek Elysium

Noctua NH-U14s to replace my Aquacomputer Kryos HF

Corsair HGA1 Thingy for my 290x with an old H100 I have lying around to replace the Aquacomputer Kryographics Hawaii

 

Rest of the system:

5960x

MSI X99S Xpower AC

Corsair Dominator Platinum 4x4GB 2666mhz DDR4

WD Caviar Black 1TB

Corsair Force GT 120gb (Windows)

Samsung 830 (Antergos)

Corsair AX850

6x Noctua NF-F12

1x Noctua NF-P14 FLX

ASUS Xonar Essence STX (going to my big AMP)

[carguy86]

build it! (two weeks till i get the cpu, gpu, case, casefans and psu for Black Glacier)

[simson0606]

something like dual 980ti and throw that sh*t under water

[Swndlr]

 

Get a Corsair H440 White, an i7-4770k and an Asus H97-Plus Motherboard

 

 

lol WOT

[Hero7750]

Near future (~1 year), upgrade to an r9 380x whenever those come out and some i5 broadwell chip. Also an ssd.

[duriel]

h110i gt comes in today or tomorrow

prolimatech pk3 + cougar cf-v14hb fans or whatever to replace the 2x stock fans corsair ships it with

 

otherwise nothing, really impressed with my pc.

[skullrebell]

Sell my R9 290's get 2 970's or 980's  possibly get a smaller case, since my Nzxt Switch 810 is rather large, Also the r9 290's are Saphire Vapor x oc edition if anyone is interested .

zero reason to sell your 290s for 970s. just wait for the r9 390/x or 980ti / 980metal

even 2x 980s isn't really worth it. just wait for the next biggest thing. guarantee 2x 390/390x's will be a better price:performance option

 

that being said i'd kill for vapor-x 290s because my xfx 290 doesn't match my build considering it's all black/blue (the black of the xfx dd 290 is nice, just love the blue on the vapor-x cards)

can't really beat 210$ for a xfx r9 290 though lol. 

[PotatOS - Andrew]

I'm hoping to do a great number of things, because as of now my PC isn't all that good.  In order of priority:

 

(sorry for this terrible formatting)

get an ssd (actually I think I'm getting one fairly soon)

Get a define r5

get a new mobo/LGA 1150 mobo

get an i5 or even an i7 maybe

get a dark rock pro (mmm sexy black)

get strix 970

get a better psu/more wattage

get more case fans

get a real 1080p monitor(s)

your psu is more than enough for an i5/i7 & 970.

 Reducing heat and reducing power consumption even with 970's im going from 245w tdp per card to 145w tdp, thats a big difference, and a 980 is still a reduction which would give me even better preformance than what i have now, plus i prefer Nvidias companion software to amd's, and im selling both for 400 USD or one for 200USD

[mustafaali61]

Build a new build, then save up and upgrade my current build with a new cpu , gpu, and ssd for my brother

tdp is not power draw

 

and the 970s are not as power efficient as people think, because of the whole "tdp = power draw" idea people get. amd actually overstated their tdp too. their power draw isn't as high as a lot of people assume. you can run a 4790k & dual 290's on a 750w. my 290 (with an average cooler) has never broken 81c, even oc'd to 1150/1500 @ +25mV/+25mV.

you have zero reason to get two 550$ cards in replacement of your current two is my point. maybe 970s but that's a sidegrade and would only be 'good' for the software nvidia offers

 

otherwise... not worth. i'd buy your 290s purely for cosmetic reasons but i'm just waiting for the 300 series myself as i wouldn't be getting much out of it (sell my 290 and get 2 more that match? no point )

[jamese669]

Custom water loop. maybe 2x titan x's just need to save really
