Quote HistoryQuoted: 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.

The wife will be getting my current 1080 gsync benq.
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. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor (Purchased For $199.99) CPU Cooler: CRYORIG M9i 48.4 CFM CPU Cooler (Purchased For $19.99) Motherboard: Asus Z170-E ATX LGA1151 Motherboard (Purchased For $46.96) Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory (Purchased For $57.99) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive (Purchased For $140.44) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For $0.00) Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Strix Video Card (Purchased For $244.99) Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Blackout Edition ATX Mid Tower Case (Purchased For $79.99) Power Supply: SeaSonic G 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (Purchased For $44.99) Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer (Purchased For $0.00) Total: $835.34 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2016-10-26 12:05 EDT-0400 |

Any opinions/thoughts are welcome. 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. |

Oh well, It's running great now with the new i7-6700k

TBH I was going to upgrade eventually anyways, this kind of pushed me over the fence. 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. |

I'd be pissed. I had an EVGA 970 but went for the MSI 1080 since they were in stock faster, kind of glad I went that route now. |

EVGA are supposed to be offering RMA's on the affected cards. https://www.pcper.com/news/Graphics-Cards/EVGA-Overheating-VRM-Issue-GeForce-ACX-Coolers I'm sure they're RMA'ing them, but I've seen now on more than a few sites that they're just shipping out cooling pads so people can install them themselves. I'd be pissed. I had an EVGA 970 but went for the MSI 1080 since they were in stock faster, kind of glad I went that route now. I'm running 2 MSi 1080 Gaming X cards. money WELL spent.
mmhmm i got the msi 1070 sea hawk just because it was cheaper to get it under water then any other way. after i get it i hear that msi had a issue with some 1080's where the memory pads didn't get the clear protective film removed when installed. seems like everyone has and issue or another. |

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.

I think this is on a bigger scale, and they're apparently just flat out missing... so... ya. |

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. |

Maybe even just buy something built already if it's cost effective. 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. |

Useful info Thanks for the recommendations, that will certainly help me out. I don't live near a Microcenter, or any stores worth buying from for that matter. Internet ordering is the only way for me to get it done. |
