[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

Also Ninja, why did you recommend that msi board over an asus one?

I have a WiFi adapter suggested at the bottom of my list.

I seen, would it be compatible with the parts Ninja put in his list?

[Pecon]

It should be compatible with any board these days as long as there is a free PCI slot. This board does appear to have one.

imo the build I suggested keeps to a lot more trustworthy parts in general except with the GPU.

... and the PSU he picked doesn't appear to be available through any major canada-serving retailers, and therefore isn't calculated with the price on the pcpartpicker list

Hm, I'll reconsider then. Except for that case. Could I still use the one he linked? I really like it. :3

I also congregated all the parts into a pcpartpicker link. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/Dw3xWZ, im just posting it to make sure its all correct.

Of course you can, you can use any case that is standard ATX or ATX12v

You won't be able to use the drive cages that one provides, though. Only a full ATX tower will have enough room to comfortably use the video card I selected.

also. the partpicker site lists a minor incompatibility with gpu size, should it be an issue since i plan to use two HD's, or is it a non-issue?

You should get a GTX970 :)

I think I might stick to what Pecon gave me now, sans the case. I really don't care how much better each card is, as long as it isn't my little 30 watt (max power) HD 5450.

[Ninja Decoy]

Well, im glad I helped with what I could.

You're going to want to make sure your card can fit in your case, lol. The GTX 970 is mid range in terms of length, the card Pecon recommended is loving massive.

the case has a lot of HD slots, and I only need 2.


I also found this response on some tech forum.

Watching some in depth reviews of it as well, it'll fit almost anything you force into it. It's pretty cool. Lots of extra space, especially for someone who's just starting out with this sort of thing.

-ugh pressed quote instead of modify-

[Tokthree]

That case probably has removable HDD bays so you can take one of them out to get some extra GPU room. It's a pretty standard feature these days

[Bisjac]

edit; actually this one was avi

[Car Selling Pyro]

One of the best things about winter is i dont have to worry about my gpu's temp on heavy load. RIP 80C gtx 570, hello 78C
