#45 New PC Build in Hardware
devamar_10decderNow I'm trying to decide inbetween this GPU: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GTX-970-4G-Graphics/dp/B00NN0GEXQ
and this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-4gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-graphics-card-silver-black/9855169.p?id=1219441201895&ref=199&loc=8BacdVP0GFs&acampID=1&siteID=8BacdVP0GFs-jp8zfQaq7ep.IvLjJpe36A

Here is my current build atm: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/decderify/saved/#view=Gc2G3C
Literally everyone advised to get a 390 instead of 970 :x Do you have a reason to stick with the 970 despite its worse performance at the same price?

1st, not sure of it's driver issues being I have a monitor thast uses nvidia drivers. Also, I have never dealt with AMD before, so not sure if I want to go with it.

Setsuldecderhigh performance air cpu cooler.Your first try was the H110 which isn't an air cooler.
Second was the H60 which is neither high performance nor an air cooler.
Third was the 212 Evo which isn't high performance.
And replacing the fan with a worse fan isn't going to help.

Since you have ignored every single piece of advice I've given you so far, I'm calling it quits.
You obviously don't want any help, you just want "OMG BEST BUILD EVA!!11!111!!"-type confirmation.
You won't get that here, especially not by posting mediocre builds.

EDIT:decderThanks, I have no brand loyalty to anything whatsoever. On anything other than peripherals.decder[...] even though it's AMD

First, I'm fully aware that the h60 and h110 are both liquid cooled. I don't want the "OMG BEST BUILD EVER". Although I do appreciate your advice, the derogatory attitude is unnecessary.

SetsulBefore I tell you why that's a terrible idea, amuse me: Which fans?

some cougar's, not sure which ones

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/decderify/saved/#view=6LvQzy Also, I think that I might go with the 8Gb R9 390 even though it's AMD

SetsulYou wouldn't call the H60 an air cooler though.

I know, I'm gonna use this and upgrade the fans: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

SetsulAh yes, the most difficult decision.
The reference GPU, stock cooler, not overclocked, 380$ or
a custom design with a better cooler and overclocked for 340$.
Surely the slower, hotter and more expensive GPU must be the right choice?

And that build, oh god.
The H110 is bad idea because it's noisy and more expensive than similar or better performing air coolers.
The H60 is a bad idea for the same reasons and it will crumble very fast once you up the voltage on a non-delidded 4790K.

What did I say about the mobo?

Ah yes, overpriced Corsair cases.

A 750W PSU for a 88W CPU and a 145W GPU?

Last but not least, the masterpiece.
Buying a 200mm fan and a case that doesn't support 200mm fans.

Even ignoring that the R9 390 is faster and slightly cheaper I can throw together a far better build.
200$ cheaper, not even counting the H60 and still SLI capable.

The fan was a mistake from a previous build that I just copied. That was just an error that got copied over. I can also get the CPU for 279.99, The only reason I used to the corsair case is because I liked the way it looked. I honestly have no brand loyalty whatsoever. I just like the MSI mobo and I would like a reasonably high performance air cpu cooler.

Name one difference between Z97 and H97 apart from overclocking support.
Then think about wether that'll make a difference or not.

does the h97 have more overclocking support?

ZestyAs opposed to just a mentor, you can watch demos with people on your team/people you like and play with a lot who are around your skill level. Try and find people around your level who you think understand the game well or better than you to go through demos with you rather than just dm players.

Recorded blaze's pov of the two finals maps, to see what he does. :) I would like to go over them with another invite player, but I'm not sure who.

You might feel like you're plateauing but you're probably not. I made a quick graph of what skill development is actually like.

More than likely you've hit the area I've marked in red.

The best way to get out of that slump is either A. continue to practice and wait or B. Pick up a new way to practice/more difficult practice Ex 1. MGE/Pug with UGC steel-silver players? Move on to a partner that plays in High open or IM. Ex 2. Don't have a mentor? Get one that's fairly good (most players in IM and Invite)

No offense to point number 1 here, but ugc and silver is pretty far below typicals pugs I play. Secondly, finding a mentor is tough.. Not sure who I should ask.

I think I might just wait until the new parts come out so I can buy the older components for cheaper. I'll buy the 4790k and then the GTX 970, or possibly the 980. (if it becomes cheaper)

lol

marmadukeGRYLLSyou've probably just hit that point where you're "good" compared to when you started. you rapidly improve at first, and for a while,then suddenly hit a "peak" and improvement from there is slow. you probably haven't plateaued, improvement is just less noticeable/obvious now.

That's probably true, however it is still frustrating.

dollarlayerI would wait for skylake which should be coming out later this month. IMO just doesn't seem right to build a new rig with 1-2 year old technology. Skylake is not that much faster though, 5-10% in most benchmarks.

Skylake motherboards will have boards supporting DDR3 and DDR4. I'd go Skylake + DDR4.

What Do the motherboards out right now only support ddr3? I haven't built a pc in a while.
