I'm bored, Sup Forums. Coming from the land of Sup Forums. Let's talk guts/computers. What's in your rig? What are you planning on upgrading. Would you like parts recommendations?

I have a mini ITX build similar to the picture with a GTX 970. Runs every game maxed out 60 fps 1080p no problem.
i5-4690k to 4.0ghz
16gb Ram
EVGA GTX 970
480gb SSD
2TB 7200 RPM HDD
700w Full power supply
Cool Master Elite 130 for the Case
Its small and powerful. Which is what most gamers are aiming for these days.
The new DanCase looks interesting. I almost bought one, but for $280, it's not worth it. I'd only be using it as a LAN pc. Which mine is small enough to do now, anyways.
>Pic not related, first PC I built back in 2010/2011.
If anything you should keep the cpu and upgrade to the 1080..
I want the i7-6950X. 10-core, 20-thread CPU.
I'm waiting for something like a 1180 Ti next year.
What do you need so much cpu performance for?

want to upgrade my gpu and more storage capacity (replace the 320 gb hdd and the 500gb with bigger ones).
but because lack of money i'll still stay like this.
Hi
Probably wants to play solitaire and minesweeper at the same time.
It will help with some of the work related tasks I do on my PC. This isn't just a gaming machine.
That case is so unnecessarily large. lol
I doubt that's possible with current hardware
Minecraft
Get rid of the CPU. Xeons suck for most shit. Cant even get good fps in games like WoW because of the Xeon single core performance.

1180? ti? That won't be out for 3-4 years. The 1080ti won't be here until mid 2017 at earliest.
Yes, i kwon. I'm working to upgrade my friend
Poor faggot here, I only could afford this:
Fx 6300 OC 4.5 Ghz
Tt Frio Extreme
6 Tb 240 SSD
R9 280x 3gb
6 Luna's 120mm from Tt
Case Thermaltake Chaser A31
Blue LED's
Is not the best PC in the world but I love it, all runs smooth :)
That's unfortunate to hear.
That's not really unbelievable. I have a friend with an i5-4590S I sold him, as well as a 970. He can max any game he plays in 1080p no problem.
Oh and 16 Gb of Ram Kingston HyperX DDR3
it's an "cheap" i7 without internal GPU and without open multiplicator. get good fps in every games, they are rather limited by gpu
...
Core i7 2600
GTX 760
12GB DDR3
2x1TB HDD 7200RPM
Either way, I can wait for it. My 980 is playing most games at 3,440 x 1,440 fine when I do game, so. Usually the highest settings with AA off grants me 45+ FPS in brand new triple-A titles. The only game that gives me an issue with performance was ARMA III.

Probably gonna grab something from the 1000 series when it comes out, or at least try SLI on this fucker; problem is the card is pretty fucking huge even with my mondo Cooler Master steel case.
Is it possible to build an average gaming PC with only $400, my laptop recently broke
>don't ask how
Of course!
4670k OC'd to 4.6ghz
GTX 780
16gb ram
Full water loop
Served me well for the last three years. In another year or two i'll upgrade again but right now I haven't found anything it couldn't handle. May have the case sandblasted and powder coated white to match my monitors.
Sorry for the poor photo. I'm not a photographer.
I've sold my desktop computer because I'm moving across the world for a new job. I'm not sure if I want to build a new desktop after moving or get a laptop that can handle light games (dota/indie games etc). I know gaming laptops are not worth the price but I want to be mobile if I have to move after a year. Should I just give up on gaming?
Btw I'm not a graphics fag (Play csgo on low settings for max fps) and don't care so much about the looks.
Favorite games: csgo, cities skylines, dota2, want to play fallout 4 but doubt laptops can handle it
How?
And how? roll the story
You should think more about the "good fps in every game". It is not even close to an i7. Maybe at best a few year old i3.
I had two builds with them. With two full sized motherboards and 64 gigs of ram. Several dual gpus. The cpu was the bottleneck for gaming. About half the games I tested ran far worse than any benchmark even compared to an i3.
Here's my rig. You can look up the stats.

Nice try. But even the 980ti or my 295x2 isn't capable of what you are claiming. 2560x1440 is what you meant?
Average? No. Waste of money? Yes.
Yabe you could play Dota or some other low end bullshit.
how?
...
Got a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II 8 gigs of RAM and a I7 2700K CPU.I'm getting the GTX 1070 as soon as it's released, but I won't get the Founders edition tho. You guys think the CPU will be too big of a Bottleneck?
Even if he meant 1440p he won't get those frames from a 980.
for what do you need 32gb ram?
Where is the gpu???
Oh and a 460gb SSD. HDD pictured was a friend's I was imaging for him. I don't have space or slots for HDDs
Rendering
No... I meant 3,440 x 1,440. Games like The Division or Doom, for example.
In your hearth.
Laptops in general aren't worth the price. 99% of people can use a chromebook for their every day needs and they only cost ~$250

I own a lenovo ideapad Y700, am I an idiot?
There was none in that build.
GTX 980, everything on ultra, but AA off. No less than 45 frames per second.
what's that case?
Question, I hear that most gtx 1080s only have one set of 8 pins for power and have about a 150 watt bottleneck, Is dis gonna be a huge issue doe?

Nah m8 get the 1080, sell 980
I built a gaming pc in a raijintek metis case that i carry around multiple times a week. It fits into backpacks very well due to its shape.
I could probably sell it for at least a fair share of my money back. But, it'd still likely only be around $500 with the waterblock included.

that can't be common

Plan on upgrading to GTX 970 now that the prices dropped and putting in 16gigs of RAM
>GTX 980
I too have a GTX980. Recently purchased 2 new monitors and realized that the display ports don't work. Googled it, seems to be a common problem on the 980. Have you had similar issues? Any known fixes?
Currently planning to RMA but that's sort of a bitch.
оh yeah and an optical drive where i keep my other savings kek
*Extreme 3
It was expensive for me, and I live in the country of the seller, I believe.
But, I can't find any other case I'd prefer over it. So I went with it.
No issue with mine. I'm actually using DisplayPort to my monitor. Have you tried a different DisplayPort cable? I have one DP cable, and without me touching it or moving it the signal will randomly cut out for half a second. The PC doesn't count the screen as disconnected, because it doesn't play the windows chime either. But a new cable fixed the issue completely.
Seems like a good budget machine.
If you bought bought laptop to pc game then yes.

Gotta buy more RAM at some point, and an SSD, when I feel, I can afford to waste the money.

OP here, and while no it's not for Chrome, I will say it's ridiculous how much Chrome uses. My RAM utilization with just three tabs and nothing else running is something like 11-13%. Close Chrome and it drops to like 6%. lol

I only play at 1920x1080 60Hz so I'm debating wheater to overclock or not, I've managed to overclock each component individually but once the 3 are together and overclocked I seem to get weird behavior like stuttering and freezing in game for less than 1 second or so that don't seem to happen at stock, weird thing is that all the stability and stress test I've tried have passed for more than 24 hours without problems even prime 95.
What could it be? What softwares are recommended to test GPU/CPU and memory?
i need to buy 850w psu, which brand/model would you recommend?
Since Firefox fixed the slow boot time issue, I've been using it without too much RAM usage.
Are you sure you need 850W?
Most Seasonic PSU's are pretty safe bets. In general, look for something that is 80+ Gold, Platinum, or Titanium.
Just recently got the 970, as a whole the computer is solid.

Poorfag reporting, got this entry level box that runs most of games i play quite nicely(mostly MMORPGs). Planning to upgrade the whole case sometime in future.
Why the fuck would you get a case that is obviously designed around a fairly minimalist aesthetic then get some giant ass retarded USB WiFi dongle and put it on top? Might as well just gotten a cheaper, ugly as shit case.
I have the M1 V1. Yeah, expensive as fuck but it is among the top 3 case I've ever worked with.
And really, all my favorite cases have been >$150.
here
yes op i'm sure i need that much, thanks for advice
It's my favorite case I've used. And I've used ones that cost significantly more.
you guys some have elite system to go on fucking Sup Forums
What are you running that requires that? Sounds like a higher end dual GPU build.
I got a mac.
This is one of the cheapest mini itx cases i could find with two pci-e slots for the gpu. Also it fits really well inside a backpack. And i don't give a fuck about aesthetics (thats why i drilled the shit out of the top)
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
