Thread: pc for 5 boxing

Hybrid View

    Default pc for 5 boxing

    Hello!

    Looks like I am going to go for a new pc for myself soon! YaY!

    5 boxing as usual.

    Not much $$$ to use as I also need to buy my 17 yr old daughter a new box as well.

    Mine I am looking at this:

    Which out of these 3 will benefit me the most, or are they all kind of the same other then slight price differences

    Intel Core i7 4790 3.6GHz (LGA - 1150)

    Intel Core i7 4790K 4.0GHz (LGA - 1150)

    Intel Quad Core Xeon E3 1271V 3.6GHz (LGA - 1150)

    Graphics:

    Gainward 4GB GTX 760 PCI <-- will this be enough to have least maybe high settings as a minimum ?

    Memory: no real idea, quite a few different kinds: G.Skill Sniper 16 GB Kit (8Gx2) DDR3 1600 Memory

    SSD: not sure differences, like Kingston V300 240G and Sandisk Ultra II 240G

    Obviously I want decent fps, without lag/stutter when running around doing various things in crowded areas on x5 characters.

    Suggestions, help would be appreciated.

    Oh with memory, what am I looking at/for, in regards too?

    I Would also be interested in hearing opinnions from some of the tech-minded people here about this. Old rig is held together by ducktape and wishful thinking and I'm hoping to upgrade to a new but somewhat budget build for my 5-box. Haven't built one in years so sort of out of the loop on hardware.

    Both of you should consider a 6-core processor. My FPS went up dramatically once I had at least as many cores as I had game instances.

    I think MiRai will tell you that of all the things you mentioned, the SPEED of your RAM will be pretty insignificant.

    This is exactly the kind of feed back I am looking for.

    And where hell is MiRai, hurry up gimme some good advice

    This is why I posted, so this time when I do spend the money for build a better pc, I want it done right, as much as possible, to get the most out of my boxing, x5.

    So your saying, 6 core processor you referring to then this: Intel 6 Core i7-5820K ?
    If so, what kind of motherboard do I need for it ?

    And was graphics card above fine as well ?

    I wonder if MiRai can build us our gaming systems in his basement shop?

    Calm down, people... calm down. I saw the thread and knew I needed time to get some stuff together. There will likely be a new post here later today with some information. Until then, read this to hold you over.

    EDIT: Sorry, I got caught up in doing other things tonight and couldn't dedicate time to writing a well thought out forum post.

    Do not send me a PM if what you want to talk about isn't absolutely private.
    Ask your questions on the forum where others can also benefit from the information.

    Thanks MiRai, I was nosing over that thread you linked, and was making me re-think options.

    Was looking at Lyonheart's build, and was thinking of something similar, after reading all your post.
    Except mine would not be same cpu, was more looking at:

    Intel 6 Core i7-5820K unless for some reason, middle range one is way more important for whatever reason ?

    Intel 6 Core i7-5820K is do-able, depending on what m/b I need and cost, and then ram, and graphics card can be upped to probably something like:

    4G GTX 770
    3G GTX 780

    roughly around $450 max for a card in $AU for me anyway.

    If it means I have an extra 1 month delay to buy something that is going to suit my purpose properly, and not buy something and regret it later, as I dont have that kind of money too play with, so I want it to be right first time, even if I need to wait an extra month to add in some extra $$ then that is fine by me.

    Okay reading alot, and looking at something like this, prices are roughly.

    Intel 6 Core i7-5820K $459 - the 5930k is more expensive, is there much of a difference at all between those 2, will i tmake a huge difference to me, or slight or not really ?
    Samsung 840 EVO 500g SSD $259
    Graphics card $400-$600 or there abouts. I was looking at lynherts he mentioned a gtx ti, I see a 3g GTX 780 ti and some others higher or lower numbers beside them, what do I actually need, benefit me the most, for around my price.
    motherboard Ausrock X99 Extreme 4 $290 or Extreme 3, does it matter much ? I saw some others way way more expensive not sure if it will benefit me in anyway more, I do not plan too sli etc :/
    ram ? 16 gig, DDR4 - 2133 $319
    case totally love this, hope m/b fits ? http://www.thermaltake.com.au/produc...?id=C_00002143
    psu ? - noidea, actually how is it even worked out in what watt you need ?

    700watt ? and cpu cooler ?
    graphics card, suggestions please be nice!

    The next time I replace my case I'm going to get one like MiRai's that has vertically mounted cards. That makes so much sense.
