Don't know why you got downfragged sweet_tooth, I picked up a used gtx580 off of eBay for literally a fraction of the cost of its 600 series counterpart. The dude I got it from used them in SLI testing and were pretty much brand new.

In your case, OP, I would definitely go for last years GPU at half the price. You could even wait a few months for nvidia to release their 7 series gpus, then pick up the 6 series for cheaper.

I swear to god if you're shit tonight imma be SO MAD. Take a nap you queer.

Bump

so my tablet has a key just for this :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

hey kuza your nerd star is growing :)

heh. I thought you were building. the build you are comparing to isnt that much better.

I forgot to mention that this is the worst time of the year to upgrade. Tech companies are getting ready to release their new line of 2013 products and soon all of last years stuff is going on clearance. I'd wait a few months, if possible. You will get a better price on everything you have in mind, or spend the same amount of money on newer tech. Except for that fx8150+waterblock. That's a really good price.

If I was in your position to build a new rig I would honestly wait for Intel's new Haswell chips to release early summer. But if you're dead-set on AMD I'd go for this combo on newegg atm: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106011

I mean you're spending 190 for the waterblock+cpu. Thats only like 10-15$ more than your cpu selections + the aftermarket cooling solution. So yeah.

I like your memory + motherboard selections.

Your ssd could be changed though. I'd honestly avoid anything with a sandforce chip since I've heard such bad things about them. I personally bought a 120gb Sandisk for my laptop and had to RMA it since windows would BSOD right from fresh install. I highly recommend going to slickdeals.net and searching through their SSD deals daily, since they have super hot deals on sites like newegg that get sold out very quickly. Here's a crucial m4 that was in the newegg promo email. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148449. Its a 256gb, but its a very good price and you'll be thanking yourself later that you paid the extra money for the larger size. And btw, a 120GB is super small. It's my personal recommendation to buy at least a 180gb, but hey its your choice.

For the power supply, its really dependent on when/if you plan to ever upgrade. For now, with that GTX 650 id go with this power supply: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/88820/newegg-corsair-cx430-v2-430w-power-supply-cmpsu430cxv2 simply because its 16 bucks and its Corsair.

I personally like Rosewill, for their cases and their power supplies. So a 'combo' case and psu would be an option for me, if it was a money issue. Otherwise, I'd go with a psu that was on sale and a solid antec case. You can usually find cases for free shipping all the time on newegg.

tick 99000~~

my spy med drop in our gpit match.

ty

yeah idk whats up with that. im a huge skeptic about marketing bs like that. like that one time i saw hd glasses on a tv infomercial at like 4am. "see real life in real HD!!!11!" fuck those guys.

the features that stand out to me about gunnars would be the decrease in eye strain & color enhancement. but its probably just a mental thing. like shit guys i just spent 100 bucks on these glasses, they just GOTTA work.

edit: maybe they just have different styles for super stylish awesome individuals like us?

fragile, yes they are normally 60 or more anywhere else, cheapest I could find on ebay was like 50 and they had a shit ton of bids. thats why for 30ish bucks I could have a pair.

ty for moving it. thought general was the right section.

anyways, i often experience eye fatigue while i play but that could be due to lack of sleep/old eye prescription/using a crt.

just wondered what anyone else thought. since its been 2+ years since ive heard of them last.

I've heard of them in the past but at a ~80 price range... nah. But they are on sale until tomorrow over at woot.com. http://tech.woot.com/plus/if-your-names-gunnar-these-are-your-glasses

For 30-42 dollars are they worth it? Every review said good things about them. thoughts?
