"I Need a New PC!" 2014 Part 1. 1080p and 60FPS is so last-gen and your 2500K is fine

Luckily my PZ80 and X20 are pretty resistant to it. Got some when the were new but now I can't remember the last time I saw any.

For a while I was playing a lot of Killzone shadowfall MP and it took weeks to get the HUD out. I thought it was permenantly burnt in but luckily it wasn't.

Edit** at the time my TV was around 6months old. I've noticed it still happens but goes away much easier. I guess it gets better as they age

I was afraid you'd say that. 570 am cry.

On a more serious note, it will probably be when TSMC can get their 20mn house in order. Since AMD and NVidia rely on them to manufacture the chips, this has been part of the reason it's taken so long for new cards.

Sucks that there is no new GPU news. My 570 was getting long in the tooth and I finally decided to bite the bullet on a "new" card. I bought a used Powercolor TurboDuo 280x on ebay for $160 to hold me over and play VR games when DK2 comes out. Hopefully 20nm GPU's come out early next year but at least now I don't have to worry about my 570 being enough.

A kingdom to someone that tells me how the hell to fix the random full screen stutters I'm getting on flash videos(youtube/etc) on a 4670k/280x. :/ I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and on all browsers. It's driving me nuts. I'm considering formmating and reinstalling windows 7 cuz i just don't know what. :|
 
I have a similar build to yours.

P8P67 Pro
2600k oced to 4.4ghz. Wish I could go more, but I guess I didn't get one of the better overclockable ones.
16 GB G Skill Ram-but I do some video editing on the side and like to have a shit ton of browser tabs open.
I went from a GTX 570>670<780 TI

I'd say upgrade your GPU and oc your CPU. Be sure to get an after market CPU cooler if you don't have one already. While an SSD won't impact game performance, it's nice to have the OS start up faster and load programs faster, so get one if you don't own one already.

Yeah, already have an SSD, couldn't deal without one now. Been checking out GPU's today and I am heavily leaning towards Nvidia and a 780.

Can anyone recommend a GFX card. Up to $300 is my budget. I currently have an AMD FX 6100 Six Core with a GTX 460. 8 gigs of RAM.
 
What's the easiest way to check what is using your video card? My 780 Ti stays around 31 degrees Celsius at idle but seems to randomly hop around to using power for some reason despite not playing video or games. Still doesn't get hot, 35C but that didn't happen on my last card.

4 8 pin power... that's 675W? Those are some dense fins, wonder how slow it runs lol

You mean the actual program?
It's probably some random GPU accelerated things like video or jumping from 2D/3D, not sure.
 
I'm starting to work out a build that will be used primarily for 3d animation/video editing. If I understand Nvidia's numbering scheme correctly it seems that it would make more sense for me to get a GTX 680 over a GTX 760... Is that correct(ish)?

Yes, between the two, the 680 is definitely the better card. The 680 is basically the GTX 770 with slightly lower clock speeds.

Yes the 680 is more powerful. It was rebranded and given a slight clock boost and is still sold today as the 770.

I would guess you should look for a 4GB version too.
 
Not sure if this is a great place to ask, but I was wondering if maybe one of you guys could help me out. My PC has broken itself with a problem I have no idea how to fix. What happens is when I give it power (ie. plug it into the wall) all the fans and lights in the system starts moving. This is before I even touch the power button. Nothing comes up on the screen, and hitting the power button doesn't do anything either. It stays this way to I pull the power again. I was able to get it to boot a couple times by fiddling with the ram, but after a few minutes the screen goes black and it goes back into its all lights on broken state.

I had this same problem earlier this year as well, when I bought a new video card. However, I know it has nothing to do with the video card itself, because the problem happened with both the old and new card. I got it fixed that time by taking it to a repair shop, but the guy there said he just randomly fiddled with stuff and it started working again. He didn't even charge me, since he said he had no idea what he did or what the problem was.

I don't really have any idea where to start, and I've been too busy to take a decent look at it the last few days. My guess is somethings up with the motherboard, but I really don't know. I'm considering just taking it to a PC repair place again but if any of you have any ideas what the problem might be before I do that, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
Not that PSU. Get the Coolermaster V650 or something by Seasonic.
Do you already have a case? The new Crucial MX100 could be an alternative for the M550. Change the PSU as already mentioned, otherwise looks great to me! :D

Edit: Maybe check out the Gigabyte Windforce Ghz edition of the 780Ti - an extra $25 but the factory clocks and cooler are super nice.

What's wrong with the PSU? Sorry I'm not too familiar with any of this, still learning. And thanks I will check it out.

The MX100 is the SSD you want http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KFAGCWK/?tag=neogaf0e-20 The M500 is the same price so I threw it in for the build as PCP doesn't have it just to get the pricing to total up properly

You can save another $3 on the RAM, depends whether you prefer the GSkill blue stuff or white RAM http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J8E92X0/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Something like this would save you a bit of cash

Already got a case then?

Looks good, thanks. I don't have a case actually. Have no idea where to start as far as that, and I also need a nice monitor.
 
So I'm guessing Nvidia isn't going to release their GPUs this year? That would really suck as I want to build a new rig when Haswell-E comes out. I was reading earlier that it appears they hit manufacturer delays. :(

It looks that way. At the very least, I don't think they'll be releasing their GPUs until at least very late this year. But no one really knows what they'll do. Manufacturer delays are definitely the reason though. Nvidia seemed furious at TSMC some time back in one of their powerpoint presentations.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Started putting together my computer.



Still waiting on a few parts to come in so i can finish it off.

Really nice looking!

How'd you get the green on the case?

Get a 760 or 780 instead of a 770. 770 is in this weird not so great value middle ground if you want nVidia.

How the hell do you guys remember and mentally rationalise all these component codes? This thread is like reading pages of wingdings to me. It might as well be in Latin.

Admit it: you've all got spreadsheets taped on your walls, haven't you?

Depending on legacy wheel support and how pCARS runs on PS4, I might be attempting my first-ever PC build towards the end of this year. The very thought fills me with absolute dread. I've never been any good at learning foreign languages.

I was planning on doing the same, but I figure my 750 Ti has extended the life of my desktop for another year.
