If I decide to throw a GTX 1080 on top of this, which one would you recommend? I might pass on my current PC to a family member as a complete build.

This is perfect man, exactly what I need thanks so much. I've always been a fan of Corsair for different things including cases (have a 300 right now) so i'll probably go that direction again. Thanks

Well I didn't have a whole lot of time to test but the time I did have MSI Afterburner showed my CPU and GPU both about neck and neck with each other during a PoE session, staying at 50-60% at the same time, and spiking to to 77% or so at the same time across all cores but that was all never...

Yes, the launch reqs are going to be mostly irrelevant. I will look at the usage stats tonight and see where the problem lies.

At this particular moment i'm playing Path of Exile, which runs great normally but there are a lot of points in the game where massive amounts of units are on spawning and attacking on screen (Breach, Beyond, etc) and the FPS drops down to intolerable (to me) levels. The same things occur in a...

8gb DDR 1600, Samsung Evo 1TB SSD, Win 10 64, Asus VG248QE 24" 144hz @ 1080p, Dell U2412M 60hz @ 1200p I have a 500GB mechanical that is used only storage, music etc. It's smaller than even my SSD because it's very old and the SSD is new. It needs to be replaced but nothing runs off it...

Six years later.. i'm finally going to put my baby down and rebuild, it's been rock solid at 4.5ghz on a basic $30 cooler since the day I got it. Not having built a PC for myself in six years i'm just a BIT out of the loop on things, if I could get some advice on which way to go with the below...

I'm building a new box for my friend, and he want to use this psu he already has in it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371016 This is what i've got picked out for him: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RVp4vK I know it shows 452w on this and technically that's within...

I bought a 7850, probably right around the time he bought his 7970. It's quite nicely OCed and still going strong. I'll probably be looking to replace it end of this year or beginning of next but it definitely won't be with a 270x.

Did two runs of Heaven tonight just to see if that would phase it, nothing there either. No temps above 55c either so it's a solid :D in my book considering the ASIC. I could mess inching towards 1200 and running benches and comparing frames to see if it's worth it yes.. but I was just...

:colbert:

Bumped my stock Asus up to 1100/1375 @ 1.138v with TriXX and ran 3dMark11 twice without no crashes or errors. Temp never went above 55c with custom fan setting. Stock ASIC was 75%~ so I didn't expect it to one-shot work but.. no problems. Correct me if i'm wrong but running at 1680x1050...

I buy whatever is the best bang/buck at the time I happen to be upgrading. Over the years i've owned both and i've been happy/disappointed with both at times.. My last two cards were AMD (currently 7850) but that doesn't mean next time around I won't be considering Nvidia same as I always do...

I was in same situation as you last week.. almost identical build actually. I went with a z77 in the end, this one to be precise. So far so happy.

Ok.. higher power limits and more voltage then. I was going off this for thinking how much i'd need.
