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

the radeon hd 7570 wouldn't do eyefinity with games at all, maybe at like 7 fps or something
nvm eyefinity only works on higher-end cards like the 7850

[Jacksaunt]

Oh eyefinity is different than what I thought it was.
I thought it was a card maker like EVGA

or just quit being a pusillanimous individual and open up your computer

I didn't build it and it is super cluttered in there. I'd rather not spend a couple hours if there is a faster way. Stop being stupid.

[Cut Glass]

really great.

Would you please leave. "really great" is not a answer, he most likely wanted how much FPS it would run at, how high you to put the settings on, etc etc. Seriously get out.

Okay, so I have a 560 ti, but my CPU sucks.

I need:
A new motherboard
A new CPU
New RAM

if you are going to overclock yes

i would still reccommend getting the k model as you will be able to use your cpu for a longer time

how about you stop being stupid, go in there, do some cable management and dust cleaning, and quit being scared of touching your computer

[Ayxrion]

is it worth saving up for this?

How could I get my speakers to play into my mic while still being able to use my microphone/headset?

From my understanding alienware has some pretty bad hardware.

I don't know what your problem is. I posted a question and you took as a chance to insult someone. I already said I don't want to take the time. I have built several computers and am not afraid to touch one. I have probably opened and probed more computers than you will in your entire life.

I'd recommend the i5-3570k at microcenter if there's one near you. It's like $190

I don't think it's bad, just overpriced.
Anyway I recall doing an experiment where I customized an alienware x51 on the alienware website then built the same one with pcpartpicker. The alienware was actually pretty close to the original price.

how about you stop being an starfish.

i've actually installed this before, but i didn't know how to work it. :I

[Alyx Vance]

Does anybody know a utility that tells you what make and model your motherboard is without opening up your case?

I didn't see this question. Yes, I do know. Hold on.

Just install and run. It'll tell you everything down to the punctuation mark.


This is what the program will look like.

Thats my PC btw, yes I know that it says I have a 80gb HDD, its actually 75 according to the Computer.

Thanks but I grabbed speccy and that worked well enough.

You're welcome.
You should still get it though, its pretty useful because of how much stuff it monitors and how the layout is.
