Hey uh, now is a slightly bad time to be buying a new computer since practically every single CPU currently out there is vulnerable to serious exploits, which companies like Microsoft are likely going to patch which will incur up to a 17-30% performance decrease on intel chips. If I was planning on getting a new PC i'd wait until new chips were out that didn't have these flaws.

I already know. Downside, I don't want to wait another year to build a PC, and due to budget, all I have is intel.

I don't really care much at all though tbh

Daswiruch · January 04, 2018, 04:30:02 PM

I killed a GTX 970 while working on a pc a couple days ago. Dropped a screwdriver on it by accident, didn't see the damage, threw it in and it blew up and caught fire.

You will be dearly missed, beloved 970.

edit: It took out a RAM stick with it too. Bummed me out pretty bad.

Here's the closest picture I could find on PcPartPicker that will be how my PC will look. Differences being I have a brown PCB motherboard, will be using a different cooler, I'll have a smaller case, and the PSU I'm getting is top-mounted and has black cables, and I'll have a DVD drive

I would really spend the extra few bucks for a 4Gb 960

Daswiruch · January 21, 2018, 04:22:59 AM

yeah games are using more and more vram and you're gonna end up with a stuffbucket pc with a 2gb one sooner than you would with a 4gb

The games I play don't warrant a 2gb variant of the card, especially when they go for 20-40+ more dollars for it.

Don't exaggerate how bad you're making the 2gb sound, it's perfectly fine as long as I don't play the most hard-core demanding AAA games on ultra lol

espio100 · January 21, 2018, 09:09:56 AM

20-40 extra for some extra oemph is a steal
