MochaaaaFirst, who do you watch? If you want to improve your positioning, watch people who know when to pull or push. Second, always ask yourself "Why did i do that?" If you dont have a reason, dont do it next time. Keep the things that you did do correctly in your mind next time you play. Good luck

I've watched a bunch of Seagull's stuff from s13 and s14. I also watched some of the invite demos reviews that grape and other soldiers did. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Setsul1. Irrelevant for the 6700K. Base clock from 100 to 105MHz and the 200MHz advantage is gone.
http://benchlife.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/core-i5-6400t.jpg
2. Spending 100$ to get 50$ higher resale value...
3. It's fairly simple. 350$ for cheaper CPU + non-oc mobo vs 500$ or more for high end K CPU + oc mobo + cooler.
Upgrading every 3-3.5 years vs upgrading every 5 years.
You won't get overclocks that yield +50% longer lifespan. Not anymore.
When overclocking is almost free or at least having the option is almost free (and the cooler is extra but you don't need to buy one until you actually need it) then you might be able to save money. If you have to pay a premium for both CPU and mobo it's not happening.

Keep an eye out for skylake base clock overclocking, especially on non Z mobos.

I think this is what I've decided on getting for CPU and GPU, as well as ram.

Intel i7 4790k 4.0 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0
Motherboard: Not sure, I'd like someone to give me a recommendation.

PheeshIf you're not going to overclock there's no reason for a K version.I don't necessarily agree- there's some reasons I would still consider it:
  • you get a higher base clock/turbo on i7-4790k/i7-6700k as its practically pre-overclocked for you..you're likely not achieving that with any non-k models
  • There is a bigger resale market for the processor if its a K version, and if paired with a Z series motherboard its going to be even easier sell as a combo.
  • Most importantly you maintain the option to OC down the road if you start to be CPU constrained and want to give it a shot (its extremely easy to OC nowadays). When most people say they aren't going to OC it means they are intimidated by the process. As an example I didn't OC my e6600 until 5 years after I had used it (it was beginning to be a large constraint)...but I was able to squeeze another year and a half out of it by tinkering. Now I'm using i7-4790k and not currently overclocking, but have that option open.

Right, and I probably will eventually OC. Any suggestions on cases. (All I really want out of one is it has to be durable, well made, and it must have really good airflow. Because if I do end up OC'ing the GPU and CPU, I'd like to have really good air cooling.

SetsulWe're talking 340-350$ MSRP, for the 4790K that's 339$. I'm fairly sure microcenter will get the 6700K aswell.
If you're not going to overclock there's no reason for a K version. The 6700 is going to be cheaper. If you can live without the iGPU Xeons become an option. You also won't need a Z series motherboard. All in all around 200$ saved.

Stock cooler is absolutely fine if you're not overclocking. I'd only replace it if you think it's too loud and you can still do that later.

I think you're overestimating the power draw. Without OC all CPUs that are worth considering are <100W. The GPU is where it gets insteresting, the GTX 970 got a 145W TDP, the R9 390 sits at 275W TDP.

Yes, if you're not going to overclock a Z97 mobo is a waste of money.

Don't rush this. If nothing else new CPUs and new mobos mean price drops for the old ones. Even waiting only a week will save you money.

Oh, don't worry. I'm not gonna rush this. I have to wait for another few pay checks to seal the deal, but I'm interested in any suggestions for mobos. (Preferably under 200$)

SetsulCrystall ball says 340-350$.
Wait for the full lineup and some more motherboards though.
Do you definitely want to overclock? Skylake actually has a chance at being a good overclocker, but nothing's for certain yet.
Not sure if I understand the cooling question, do you have any alternatives to air cooling in mind? AIO liquid coolers are useless and a custom loop doesn't fit the budget. I'm genuinely confused how a modular PSU is supposed to affect cooling. Proper case with bottom intake for the PSU and case fans and there shouldn't be any problems.

I'm just gonna go with the i7 4790k 4.0 GHz, I can buy for 279.99- Also, it's unlikely I'm going to overclock. I would like I decent CPU cooler, (definitely air cooled). I am going to need a decent amount of power for this thing, so I'm not quite sure what power supply to get. Or honestly, what case I'm going to purchase either. Do you have any recommendations for these?

*edit* do you think the current motherboard I have is a bad idea?

SetsulFirst of all: budget?

H110 is a colossal waste of money.
Why not 850 Pro?
CX430 is the absolute minimum quality that I can still safely recommend. There's no need to save 20$ on the PSU when you're spending 1000$. Generally if you're spending less than 5% of your budget on the PSU you're skimping out.

Also Xeon = cheaper, unless you plan on using quicksync or want to overclock.

6700K getting released in 4 days, calm your tits.

#11
Brand loyalty for PSUs is retarded, different platforms by the same manufacturer can perform completely different.
Oh and Corsair doesn't manufacture PSUs at all.
CX430 is built by CWT, as is the RM450.
Let's not forget that two models in the RM series required two revisions and switching the OEM before they even worked. And then there's the glorious CWT quality control (if it exists at all) that managed to miss that some units were missing parts.

So even if the RM series wasn't horribly overpriced, I'd stay as far away from them as possible.

Thanks, I have no brand loyalty to anything whatsoever. On anything other than peripherals. Budget is probably about 1500 bucks. Do you have an estimate of what the 6700k is gonna cost when it comes out? Also, what type of cooling would you suggest for this build? Being I'd have a pretty beefy graphics card, and a pretty powerful processor along with a full modular power supply.

ViperDo yourself a favor and get a fully modular power supply.

Do you have a suggestion/recommendation for one?

cmeif you want the i5, get the 4690k

obligatory quote from setsulSetsul
The usual disclaimer:
Now is the worst time to build/upgrade, (GPU prices are still settling and)new CPUs are one month away.

I'd choose the 970 because 780 appears to have diminishing reterns for 150% the price.

What are the new CPU's coming out? And, If I have some extra cash to blow, do you suggest buying this: Your text to link here...

RaytekIf you're already watching demos and dming there isn't much more you can do.

Identify what your problems are in games (low damage? dying a lot? not knowing where to position yourself? missing shots?) is the first step to correcting them. Just watching invite demos alone won't make you better if you can't identify what it is they're doing differently than you are. A mentor could probably help you a lot but you need to be able to identify your own mistakes and self correct if you want to get better.

I'm pretty consistent when it comes to hitting rockets, and I think my positioning is something that could be better. Dying often isn't usually a factor for me, as I play a little bit more calculated then constantly suiciding for frags. I try to pick out my own mistakes, but as with anything, stuff is definitely looked over.

aim-if its only for gaming u should honestly go with an i5

I do use it for photography and video editing, so I might need the extra power, but I will keep that in mind- what i5 do you suggest? Also, which of the two graphics cards should I pick?

_KermitdecderI consistantly do well in MGE, pugs, and DM servers.
What about in scrims?

Last I played in a team a couple weeks ago, before the leader suddenly went offline and ignored every played on the team, I was top damaging and fragging as roamer. I did not die often on the flank (unless I was suiciding) I didn't die often, though when I did it was either completely my fault (overextending for a pick) or due do my team unable to clean up a hurt player when I was low.

Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (x2)
Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Haven't decided on a case yet, if you have any suggestions please tell me :D
Also, should I get the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card or this: Your text to link here...

~thanks~

I've recently noticed that my performance has plateaued. I consistantly do well in MGE, pugs, and DM servers. I also do a lot of jump maps which I am pretty decent at. I watch plenty of demos and invite demo reviews. This post is not here to say that I am better than people and I just can't get any better. I would just like some legitimate advice about ways in which I can improve. Methods or tools that you guys have used to get better.

~thanks~
