Anti aliasing

But the MSI M-power mobo is wayyyy too expensive in my country

Woah that would be a huge jump from your current rig Be sure to tag me when you make a build log

Thank you for your compliment for my rig

Hmmmm but isnt the 4770 capable of running that game easily?

It is even here, but it'd match perfectly and would look amazing

It would, and I'll definitely try to remember that, I'm not sure when I'll be building the new rig, it's goinna take a hell of a long time but I will hopefully get the money together before the end of the year.

I priced up the system I need and it's gonna cost just shy of £2000 (US $3080) and even when I was working a decently paid job that much money was a luxury that I just didn't have, but because of how things are going I might be able to get the parts one at a time and keep running my current rig until then.

I specced out the rig I want and my wishlist is this:

Core i7 5820K (I would get a 5930K, but it isn't really worth the extra cost over a 5820K and I just cannot afford a 5960x)

MSi X99S SLi Plus

32GB HyperX Fury RAM

MSi R9 390X

512GB Samsung 850 Pro

Fractal Design R5

Corsair RMi750

Corsair H105 cooler

and a Asus PB278Q Monitor

I need this kind of system though, a quad core just isn't enough for rendering video, 8GB of RAM isn't enough for rendering or playing games, a TN monitor isn't good enough for photo editing, a 560Ti 448 is good, but isn't fast enough any more and a 128GB SSD isn't enough storage, and I might even add a new 128GB SSD when I build the new rig for use as a scratch disk, but we shall see about that

You're welcome

It is, but the more units you have on screen and the bigger the battles the more CPU power you need and even a 4770 can sometimes struggle under that kind of load. if the game starts to slow down with huge numbers of units on screen then that is most likely the CPU can't keep up with the demand, and it's more to do with the game engine rather than the CPU and it ends up needing far more CPU than it should.

I still have that weird red LED fan at the front

I was initially going for a red and black build but i wanted a 290x and tri-x was all that was sold so i've gotten it that time

I'll be looking forward to your new rig

Woah.... That's a really powerful rig....

I dont have a job atm (mainly because im a student) but damm im jealous of people with hexa/octa cores for their CPU D:

Hmmm do you have a youtube account then? Since you render video that much

Yes 128gb ssd is not enough at all... I have it on my laptop and it's completely filled up even without games D: (mostly software needed for my schooling)

But still the amount of detail in that game is amazing

I couldn't really see it in the photos cause of the white lighting, but I suppose in person it's much more noticable ^__^

I have a black and white theme going, and I really like it, but I think I'll go for a more subdued them of black with only small amounts of white in the new build, I may change out the GPU for an XFX 390X DD instead to more match the theme that I want, but we shall see, this is all up in the air right now.

Me too, I've got a major upgrade itch right now and until I build a new rig it's not going to go away, that and having that much performance is something I absolutely need.

Same, I recently lost my job and I've been getting my health back in order while I've been looking so money is really tight, and it makes me jealous too, I remember when I got my first quad core CPU, I had never seen that many cores in task manager before and it was amazing, and now it's like, oh, I have a quad core, great, I want and need a hex-core or an octa-core, not some piddling quad core. Quad cores are old news to me now, and it's sad, because most people I know could only dream of a system like mine

I have one, but I don't render videos for a youtube channel, it's more to do with getting films off of VHS for family and friends, and I have got loads to do, about 300+ tapes, and because of the condition of the tapes I'm working with they need lots of editing to clean them up and I have to use Davinci Resolve to do that, and the render times and even just scrubbing through the video takes forever. I also do lots of ripping DVD's to my NAS and it takes a lot longer than I would like so having a Hex core and a GPU with good openCL acceleration would cut the amount of time needed to work on everything.

I might also get into making videos like how-to's and guides so that I can show friends and family how to fix problems with computers, but I have enough going on with copying hundreds of VHS tapes to DVD, photo repair, making a website for our lasses dad, ripping DVD's to the NAS, learning programming and maybe going to college, and then finding a job and getting my health back on track without that on top of it

Too true, I have a 128GB SSD + a 500GB WD Blue and a NAS with 2.5TB of storage and even with all that I'm running low on space. On the SSD I have quite a bit of stuff, but the majority of it is TW3 and Windows 7, and that only leaves me with about 40GB free at any one time.

Do you think that the white lighting is a nice touch or issit too excessive?

Hmmm but i've never heard of a full black motherboard other than the sabertooth series tho....

Why not a reference 390 with a kraken g10

Get well soon mate :>

Yeah quadcores are pretty much the norm nowadays....

Woah... but wouldnt your rig be underutilized once you're done with that?

I would perhaps tone it down a touch but it's not my system so if you're happy with it then leave it as is, it still looks awesome

There isn't any reference 390X's, they're all third party cards, but I might just go full watercooling later on down the line instead of using AIO coolers on the GPU, but again, it's gonna be tough to save up for the rig as it is, without watercooling as well ^__^

Thank you very much, I'm getting better with my health and I'm starting to feel ready for work again, but I want to go to college first and change career

Yep, and they're just not enough any more

Not really, I max out my current CPU doing everything I do, and a Hex-Core would leave me with room to breathe as my workload gets more advanced, it might sound like I couldn't make use of a Hex-Core, but honestly I can, I would even find ways of maxing out a Octa-Core even now, and because I'm sort of dabbling in coding as well, having the extra grunt will come in handy.
