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

[Nal]

i really doubt it, thats kind of a small increment
if you dont use the full cpu to begin with you arent going to notice an upgrade at all, it would be like driving a toyota at 25 mph an hour then driving a bugatti at the same speed

well considering my friend has a 760 and a high end i5 and runs far cry 3 at max settings over 60 when I can only run it at 40 at max, I think it'll be noticeable

also: compare

and replace that with a loud ass psu and 8320

Besides the fact that one of these liquid coolers is 120mm and the other is 140mm, can anyone help me understand why the x41 is $30 more than the x31 Kraken Series by NZXT?

x31 Cooler
x41 Cooler

Just check if that motherboard supports PCI-E 3.0 (Google the technical specs for the motherboard), but I don't see any *immediate* problems. What power supply are you getting/do you have?

I'm going to buy a Sentey 725 Watt PSU, should be more then enough.
Also

PCI Express gen 3.0

Sorry for late answer.

This is why I am waiting until next year to build a new PC, guys.

I doubt it. Maybe to Windows 7 and/or 8 users, maybe. But I honestly doubt they'd put it up for free.

A GTX 970?
I would take that out of my computer at night and go to be with it.
If I could afford one...

It will be free for 8 users. People who don't have 8 by now have some issues.

Windows 7 represent. I'll update when I feel like it.

Still though, will an upgrade from an 8320 to an i7 make a huge difference?

At this point it's in largely in Microsoft's interest to have everyone updated to the latest OS. This is why it is very likely that Windows 10 will be free. If not completely free, at least free as an upgrade from anything that came after XP. The reason for this is that Microsoft is changing how their company makes money; from selling their flagship products (Office, Windows), to selling services through their main products. They are doing this so they can compete better with Android and Google in general, which so far has been kicking their ass in phone and tablet sales because it doesn't cost the manufacturers anything to load Android onto their devices.
