[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments
Legodude77:
So I'm wanting to get a 1070, but that would require me to upgrade from my fx-6300. Should I:
A. Upgrade to a fx-8000 series CPU, allowing me to keep my current motherboard.
B. Upgrade to an intel cpu that can handle a 1070.
C. Wait for the zen cpus and upgrade to one of those.
I would like to switch to intel, but if I could get the same performance by upgrading to an 8000 series card then it might save me some money. I need something that won't bottleneck a 1070.

zen comes out in October. I'm waiting for it

Oh then that's too long of a wait for me. I guess either upgrade to an 8000 series or get an intel cpu.
JumboMuffin:
Hey, my friend is looking for a prebuilt PC for him and his family to use. Here are the criteria he wants:
-£500-£600
-Able to run games like Skyrim at possibly medium or so settings?
-The case to look normal, so no lights or "edgy" designs.
Please could you make any recommendations for what he should get?

My case is a 1995 Compaq Full Tower. My old PSU blew and took the motherboard with it. Salvaged it, cleaned it up, and shoved my current specs in there. The GTX 980 Ti barely fits. There's like a 5mm space between the card and the cover. Putting the extra power cables the card needs was a loving pain in the ass.
