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

if you want to stick with nvidia, spend $200 more and get a gtx 970 because that's actually worth the price
gtx 960 and under aren't going to get you any bang for your buck

also steve probably has the regular msi 970, not the "gaming" labeled one

?

yeah I tried that but nothing lit up.

Thanks that did the trick. But now my external hard drive isn't working. Before I put in my new HDD it worked fine but now it doesn't show how much storage it has and it says I need to format it and I have important stuff on it. How do i get it to read my external HDD properly without formatting the damn thing?

Any comments on the GTX 970? I'm probably buying it.

[77x5ghost2]

my computer is lagging like stuff when i open or close any programs (i have to frequently force reboot because i keeps freezing completely)

it might be because of my slow ass ram (2gb ddr2 375mhz)
i defragmented my HDD and it didn't make a difference

i will buy 2 of these

note: my motherboard supports only 4GB or less
if you find better ram card (cheaper and better quality)
also my motherboard only has 2 ram slots
it must support my motherboard (Biostar N61PB-M2S)

i've been loving around with the oracle vm

holy compression artifacts, batman

[Jubel]

yeah I tried that but nothing lit up.

It has to be an MSI Twin Frozr V edition card.
