i agree, if these machines are going to be used regularly for video editing, modeling, or equivalent then it would make more sense to step up the ram, cpu, and cut back on the gpu

1.5 fps difference, not noticeable.
but if both of the guys have expressly stated that they want to overclock then I think they should go with glass' second posted build configuration with the motherboard from your build, and then replace the 660 with the r9 270 because it still has better performance for the same price.the benefit of a 770 will greatly outweigh overclocking. the max performance increase from overclocking will be in the single digit range, while from a 770 it would be in the higher double digit range.

« on: January 08, 2014, 09:35:20 PM »So I have 2 friends with a strict $800 budget and this is what I came up with.
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Moby1997/saved/3nAR
And the reason I decided to get the GTX 650 Ti Boost is because in the future one already said he wants to SLI with the GTX 650 Ti Boost.
Opinions on the build?
They both want to overclock and want Intel/NVIDIA based systems. They said they can go $30 extra so I upgradedthe HDD and the GPU.how about this
Take a look now. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Moby1997/saved/3nAR
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2y7B5
for their budget it would be way better to leave out overclocking capability in exchange for a WAY better video card
There is no white sticker.pretty much forgeted then, call customer support or w/e

lga 2011 boards tend to cost way more than lga 1150, plus they only support quad-channel memory so you'll need 4 sticks at once. I would go with lga 1155 for simplicity's sake and cheaper price. ddr4 is supposedly coming out at the end of the year, and will be supported on both lga 1150 and 2011 boards

lga 1150 is probably the best choice. for the cpu itself, I would recommend the i5 4670k if you are going to be just gaming or the i7 4770k if you are going to be doing more intensive tasks such as rendering, and need 4 extra threads. the i7 will not make any major difference in gaming.

lga 1155 is last-gen and lga 2011 is usually for extreme enthusiasts looking for extreme power. I would recommend the lga 1150, its the newest line. if you are on a strict budget, you could go with lga 1155 but you wont be able to upgrade cpu's later on. if you have a stuffton of money, then go with lga 2011. ddr4 will only real become available probably toward the end of the year, and only for very steep prices

WD Green =/= WD Blueyour point? black is still faster and will load games faster

« on: January 08, 2014, 03:33:51 PM »It's 3%!! bigger numbers are better, right?yes, its going to be in the single-digit range of percents in games which are way more gpu dependant. in games which are more cpu-dependant, skyrim for example, I saw increases of around 10 to 20 fps. anyways, its the newest line of cpu's, he will be able to upgrade to the new 14nm line of cpus in a few years. and there is absolutely no reason to get last-gen, unless he is on a very strict budget.
WD Blues are just fine for anything short of server backups and VERY delicate data. An SSD has much more practical uses, especially with consumers; MUCH faster data transfer speed, they have a smaller size, they're quieter than hard drives, and programs stored on them will be much faster, just to name a few.
wd blacks are not designed for servers or delicate info or whatever. thats the RED series. the black line of hard drives is simply way faster. I used to get around 90 read/write on my wd green and on my new wd black I get 170 read/write, loading times are faster, and the operating system is snappier. not as good as an ssd but I chose to get a gtx 770 over it, which will give a significant fps improvement in games

4670k > 3570k. they are not the same, what the forget are you talking about
what do you mean by that hard drive is "overkill"? with your reasoning an ssd is even more of one. I updated my post with a z87 that works fine and has decent ratings.

better video card, better cpu, better hard drive (at the expense of an ssd but the changes outweigh it). plus the cpu is part of the newer lga 1150 series so he will be able to upgrade it from the haswell line to the broadwell line in a few years, while with your pick he'll be stuck with the sandy bridge since its the last line of the lga 1155 cpus
edit; oops, I thought that was a z87 board
revised version w/ a z87 board. still slightly under 1k after rebates and promo's
