The Computer Megathread

You don't necessarily need a 1tb hard drive, a 750 gb one is ample and about $15 bucks less

$15 for 250GB is a loving steal right now

New case juxtaposed to my pre-built

[Momentum]

when you gon build

i wan see livestream

[Momentum]

im returning my graphics card for a different one

the old hard drives i was going to use dont work anymore, different connection type

im getting an adapter for my optical drive

PC Case = Raven RV01 = $230
PSU = Lepa G Series 1600W PSU = $330
Motherboard = ASUS P9X79 DELUXE = $370
CPU(s) = i7 3960x = $1030
CPU Coolers(s) = Thermaltake WATER2.0 = $90
RAM = G.SKILL Ripjaws 32GB 4x8GB = $230
Video Card = GTX 690 = $1000
HDD(s) 1 = SanDisk SGSSDX-G25 120GB = $140
       2 = HITACHI Deskstar 0S03230 2TB = $200
DVD-Drive = (USE PREVIOUS)
Media Reader = Scythe Kama-Panel 3 = $40
Sound Card = X-Fi HD Titanium = $160

Total: $3820


The reasons for this increasingly expensive build are classified. (aka, Im too lazy to put together the many reasons for this $4000 budget PC being made as it is)

Silly. I doubt you need that much power.

[Trymos]

dear notebook, today i have learned that the 9800gt loving hates team fortress 2.
if i try to run tf2 it will crash the video drivers.
another thing i have learned is that the amd radeon and NVIDIA have equally stuffty drivers.
end of todays learnings.

Do not make me go into the reasons for this build. The power is necessary for the operations that will be done with both the GPU and CPU.

Sealed water cooling was also a necessity, and dual Ethernet ports as well as BT 3.0 with a desirable UEFI BIOS was the reason for the P9X79 DELUXE choice.

We have money to blow, so these choices were made.

[Treynolds416]

Why is the case so expensive?

[Randomness]

Airflow concerns, the video card bar support, water cooling support, but the main reason is a preference of RV01 over RV03 and the motherboard being turned 90 degrees clockwise.

[Momentum]

Why is the case so expensive?

well it looks pretty nice



and its pretty complex

[Butler]

Why is the case so expensive?

well it looks pretty nice

Because it's heavy duty plastic and steel.

[Treynolds416]

So you literally have a machine that is absolute top of the line max-spec übermensch cunt destroying bitch busting forget flying express supertier monster machine that can survive a 200 foot fall.

I'm intrigued, to say the least

[Momentum]

because everyone with a gaming pc is going to be dropping it 200 feet

[Randomness]

And you can too, for only $3850 + shipping and handling. [acting like that isnt a lot]
