My computer was getting a little old so I decided to build a new one. Sooooo many options and decisions... I went with the brand new Intel i7-4790 chip that came out last week. I probably could have gotten away with a i5 but the i7 was on sale so I went with that. For motherboard I picked the Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H. It's based on the new Intel Z97 chipset that also came out last week with the I7-4790. I haven't built a computer in a while so maybe this isn't that neat of a feature but it has two BIOSs. Such a sweet graphical interface, easy to read w/ lots of diagnostics and access to settings. It will take me a month to see everything in the BIOSs. Ram was a hard choice, I have 8gigs in my current system so naturally I wanted 16gigs in my new system but I had a budget. I went with only 8gigs of ram but it's Corsair Vengeance and it runs at 2100MHZ. A little more expense because it's faster then standard 1600MHZ ram. I figure I can always get 8 more gigs in 6mos when the price drops. I've never had a SSD before, now I know what people are talking about. Fuck! I went with the 500GB Samsung 840EVO. There are some cheaper drives for the size but my theme is speed. I also installed a 3terrabyte WD HD. Went with a standard R/W DVD for my optical drive. Didn't have need for a Blu-ray drive in the computer... yet. For video card I'm just moving from my old system to my new one my 2gig AMD HD Radeon 7770. I wanted to get something a little better but this works fine for everything I do. I run a 3 monitor setup, 2 desktop monitors and then a line out to the 60" Samsung TV and the Vid card handles all of that just fine. I'll get a new video card for Christmas. Got a big black Corsair case. Tons of room. Easy to fit everything in. Came with 2 fans, bought 2 more, lol. Red LED Fans. Very happy.
Sly wanted to be able to watch three different pornos at the same time without slowing down his system.
wow Sly, that monster should do your laundry as well....wait till it says "I"m sorry Dave, I cant do that...."
LOL! I have Dragon Naturally Speaking so I'm used to talking to my computer, it would be nice if it talked back.
Cool Sly. Like that SSD hey? I built a new one for the boat last month. I wan't low power usage so I went with a I3-3240, plenty fast enough for the boat and internet. I would have went with the new stuff but apparently you have to go with Windows 7 or 8 an I have a bunch of stuff in the boat software that only runs with XP so I got the newest hardware that I can still gen an XP system, put 4G of memory in it and used the upper 750mg as a Ramdisk and assigned it to the page file and a bit to some satellite tracking. I don't think I ever will need an upgrade on my Xeon quad so I may never get to an I7 Fun stuff though hey!
His computer won't slow down the more he uses it. He won't have to reboot it because the system us acting up.
It will almost max it according to this site - http://www.game-debate.com/games/in...Edition&ram=8&checkSubmit=#systemRequirements The CPU crushes it but the vid card is what prevents me from going max. No worries, I'll upgrade the vid soon enough.
