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

[SiliconCactus]

New Build:

Asus Sabertooth 990FX - $179.99
2x G.Skill Ares Series 16GB 1866 RAM - $109
AMD FX-8350 Vishera @ 4.0 GHz - $199.99
EVGA GeForce 690 4GB - $999
Corsair 80 Plus Platinum 860W PSU - $229.99
Cooler Master Storm Stryker - $159.99
Corsair Force Series GS @ 128 GB - $129.99
2x WD VelociRaptor 1TB = $229.99
Assorted cooling and other items - $200

Total - $2,779 but realistically I spent a total of $1,750
Can't wait for the parts that I ordered to arrive so I can get this machine together

690 is overrated and a dual 7970/670 setup will be just as good with some healthy overclocking
and an AMD processor on a goddamn $3000 setup? just get an i5 or maybe an i7
plus why the hell do you need 32GB of RAM?

The weeks Ill be making $600 a week will be weeks Im working up in Maine. We'll work from sunrise to sunset so about 12 hours working on roofs a major businesses and companies. Im not 14 Im 16. And my boss is insured. I don't think Ill be falling off any roofs during the summer.

No major business or company will hire contractors that are not insured, of this I am 100% sure.

I wasn't asking for help nor advice, I know what I'm doing and have experience with every one of these parts.  The FX will preform just as well as an i7 when I overclock it, and the 690 will do just fine compared to running SLI or CrossFire.

plus why the hell do you need 32GB of RAM?

If I have the open slots on the motherboard, why wouldn't I use them?  I have the money and if it needs be, I can remove the RAM and use it in future builds split evenly.

Loving the sarcasm, because I defended my build with logical and legitimate proof all of the sudden I am in the wrong?

Good logic there bud, glad to see your kids can't handle being wrong.

you said a "690 will be just fine"

not seeing the proof that something for $1000 is better than something equal for $200-$300 less

.

And my boss is insured.

I've used the EVGA 690, and I've used a 7970 as well as a 7990 CrossFire setup, and I much rather prefer the 690, despite having a little less power compared to a CrossFire 7970 setup.

It comes down to what I prefer, not what you guys think is 'better'.

stop being dumb now

Your boss being insured doesn't automatically make you insured, best learn the world of business and industry now, carpenter-boy.

The term kid refers to the term child, so you need no authority to use the term itself, so please excuse my use of a grammatically correct English sentence.

seriously, what is your problem?

So now because you realize you're wrong, you'll resort to making me look as though I've been an aggressor in the past ~10 posts of mine?  No.
I simply began with asking how you would be acquiring the money you will be, not saying it was a lie, just asking out of my own curiosity, then a few people started attacking me, and I defended myself only to retort with logical questions and statements, and this repeats, until the point when you all realize that the leg you were standing on has been kicked out beneath you so you resort to petty arguments.

I'm his wife.

Actually, you're a sociopathic, ignorant child.

that girl he knocked up probably

I'm going to make this abundantly clear, do not bring up my ex-fiance in any derogatory sense again.

If he has money then I don't see why he shouldn't get a GTX 690 if he prefers it. It is more power efficient than two 7970's anyway but not as good for bitcoin mining :(.

Anyways considering that the Phantom 410 is on sale for $60 at my Microcenter right now i'd say it's the best budget case. HOT DAMN LOOK AT THAT DESIGN.
