Quoted: imo pretty solid set up but i would look at the "Dell Gaming S2716DG" over the benq mostly on the fact that you have a nvidea card and would be better optimized for a g-sync monitor instead. also just if you would step down to the samsung 850evo you could get x2 space for about $20 more of a crucial mx300 500gig for the same price. doubt you would see much speed difference between them all and more space is nice.

I guess I could have stepped down in speed on the ssd, but I mostly just use it for boot and a couple of my most played games. |

Were you using the current drivers when you had a problem? I was playing for a while before I saw the update for the new drivers. Also, not sure if it works now that the drivers are out but running borderless windowed gave a pretty decent framerate jump. The game has a huge CPU bottleneck though so you're probably at the upper limit of the FPS you should expect. |

Just finished building mine. Got some crazy good deals on different parts. Like everything about it so far.
I have a huge backlog of games on Steam which I'm sure I'll never get to. I am playing through Bioshock 2 right now and I will probably get DOOM and Bioshock Infinite at some point soon. I also might mod the shit out of Skyrim just to see what happens. The parts marked $0.00 are the ones I already had from previous purchases. My DVD burner is date coded 2007 and the Hard drive is 2013.

View Quote I really like Seasonic for PSUs, they have a bunch of them on sale right now. 550 watts is more than enough for you, but they do have the 650 watt on sale for $49.99 on Newegg right now. I really like the Fractal Designs R5 that I picked out. Really good case. For SSD, go no smaller than 500 GB, do 1GB if you can and skip the spinning disc. They are so bad compared to SSD. For optical drive, I would get something that reads Blu-ray and burns DVDs. Check Amazon. |

I can't post links because I'm at work, but search reddit/google for the issue. The game is using a higher % of CPU than it should, they're aware and supposedly will be fixed with patches. In the mean time I believe capping FPS was supposed to help. There was a custom .cfg file you could use, google will show results from bf4 but it's the same .cfg pretty much. |

Ya..., I'm getting a small settlement courtesy of a lawsuit against my employer (the federal government, thanks tax payers) and I was going to put some of it into a MOBO/CPU/RAM upgrade for the PC. When I was building last year an i5-4690k was overkill for a lot of games and everyone said an i7 was a waste, well here we are with games like bf1, gow4, etc making use of them. Won't be a total waste, the wifey wants her own rig so it'll go into that. |

This is simply an FYI for anyone who might be affected, but one of my friends has a new-ish EVGA GTX 1080 FTW card that has a factory defect. Apparently under load it has a fault that causes the card to shut down and lock its fans at 100%. His did it over the weekend while playing the new Gears of War 4 (that he got free when he bought the card).
He was talking about it today at the office. EVGA are supposed to be offering RMA's on the affected cards. |

Please don't laugh at my rig:
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/fDqRgL I think it's time to upgrade so I can play some more recent games. My pc is woefully inadequate...just need to figure out if I should scrap the whole thing or try to upgrade it. Any recommendations would be appreciated, though I don't expect anybody to do my research for me. Considering I have an AMD cpu/mobo, my gpu is lagging, and I need more RAM, on first glance it looks like I might as well build a whole new one and try to do something else with this one. Maybe even just buy something built already if it's cost effective. |

Considering I have an AMD cpu/mobo, my gpu is lagging, and I need more RAM, on first glance it looks like I might as well build a whole new one and try to do something else with this one. Maybe even just buy something built already if it's cost effective. View Quote imo i would look into a whole new setup. but you could buy in stages as money allows. also would go intel as they just seem to be faster in general. you could keep the psu and case if you like but also could replace if you feel like it. mostly would start off with getting cpu, motherboard, memory, and larger ssd first. not sure where in VA you are but if you are close to the microcenter in Fairfax you could get some discount getting the cpu, ram, and motherboard combo. parts i would sujest would be: intel 6600k asus z170-ar 16gb of ddr4 3000 or 3200mhz ram that looks good. as for the ssd get a ~500gb one as they are a good price now. just having 128gb seems small now a days. all that should be around $400-500 once thats all done probably go with a gtx 1060 and call it good. |
