Does anyone know anything about this model specifically, i think it might be a reference design and I've heard some mixed reviews.

Hey, i currently have two options available. i Either get a zotac gtx 780 amp edition for 300$, or an XFX R9290AENFC Radeon R9 290 for 250$. I came across something interesting, and noticed that this R9 can be unlocked to a 290x. Is the 780 still worth the extra 50$? and will it perform the same...

This machine is mainly going to be for gaming. Right now i have a less powerful AMD build with a fx 4350 and a 7850 gpu. Im switching out the mobo, cpu and gpu. my dad is then going to use what parts that were from my old system to upgrade his own. This leaves me with enough spare parts to build...

Ya i'd rather spend 10$ for the bigger board than regret it later. is the b85 plus a better buy than the h87? they are the same price.

It doesn't have to be from that store however it seems to be the cheapest place that I've shopped around at when compared to NCIX, Tigerdirect, Newegg, Canadacomputers, and a few others. Did you have any other suggestions? my budget is 800$ however i have to add a cheap computer case in with...

Thanks for your help! ill probably just spend the extra 10$ for the bigger sized board so i don't regret it later. Glad to know that the h87 plus wasn't necessary for non over clocking.

Okay thanks, so I'm spending the extra money for the 4670 non k version. will either of these boards fit with the gtx 770 I've chosen? http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/asus-asus-b85m-e-csm-lga-1150-matx-motherboard-b85m-e-csm/10258138.aspx?path=72bd55abc481d66380df1e1d1e5b8eaben02...

I am planning on building a system with the following components: Zotac GeForce GTX 770 2GB DDR5 Intel Core i5 4570 ASUS H87-PLUS LGA 1150 Motherboard I'm just wondering if the i5 chip I've chosen will bottleneck my 770. Do i absolutely need to spend the extra money on a 4670 series chip? i...

Right now I'm at work so I don't have access to my system to find the exact motherboard model but everything else I know of the top of my head. 8gb ddr3 ram. Amd fx-4350 processor. Xfx Radeon 7850 with 1gb gddr3. 1tb seagate hybrid solid state drive. Power supply is 550 watts. Sorry if I'm...

I was hoping to stay under 400 - 450$

My system is currently running an fx4350 CPU and an xfx 7850 Gpu. I'm looking to upgrade the build around Boxing Day but I don't know whether to upgrade the CPU or GPU. For the GPU I was Looking into a gtx 770. For the processor I was looking into either I new mobo and i5 series chip or just...

Edit : bought humble bundle, don't need the copy of MoH

I currently have an amd fx-4300 processor running with a radeon 7850. I'm planning on buying a gtx 680 but i'm not sure if it would be worth it if my cpu is going to be a huge bottleneck. Do you think that there's going to be a huge problem, or should the cpu/gpu combo be okay.
