    Adding more RAM isn't going to make a difference, as you've already got 16Gb. You'd just be throwing money at it for the sake of it.

    That's such a bummer! Maybe I'll just get some extra RAM to start and hope for the best!

    Make sure your min/max detail macros include the /console renderscale 1.0 (on main, 0.6 on slaves) setting as I found that made a tremendous difference in the main's performance.

    So I'm back. I need to upgrade my CPU. Badly. I'm tired of Dalaran ravaging my PC to the point of screenlocks.

    I've done a lot of the macros and graphic changes. And I submit want more eye candy.

    Anyway hardware talk time.

    I am hastily looking at a new CPU/MOBO/RAM. At this point I don't care if it's AMD or Intel, I just want good performance. If I save money to get relatively close by going AMD, great if not. Go Intel. I don't need to worry about built in wifi. I live to OC a bit, and I am partial to Asus boards. Never really had any issues. I have used a few of the Rog boards in older builds. And RAM was usually Corsair.

    From what I've been reading liquid coolers are not all that quiet. (Misinformed in guessing). So I want a great cooler that is quiet and works well enough to keep temps below 60° under load. Do I go with the tried and true Noctua and cooler? Or a custom liquid kit? This is the only part I'm unsure of.

    Lastly, I think I need a bigger case. I have the Coolermaster 912 HAF. It's roomy enough. But not for a liquid cooler, if I got that route.

    In a sense I am building my PC around my GPU a Titan X.

    So what do you think?

    There are three "Titan X" GPUs that nVidia has released in the past 2+ years. Which one do you have?

    I think we need an estimated budget in order to properly move forward.
    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.

    RIght - good point. Been busy with work, so currently this is the GPU I have.

    PNY Titan X 12 GB

    Budget is roughly another $800-$1000 - I will be able to sell my old MOBO/RAM and a couple monitors which should fetch roughly $500. But that'll come after the upgrade.

    I do want to upgrade my cooling, as the Antec Kuhler 120 I have is stupidly loud. I am either going with the Noctua NH-D15 - but I am not ruling out a nice liquid cooling system. (I have never used a custom loop, are they hard to install?)
