I recently purchased two cpu/motherboard bundles.
Bundle 1 (Bought first) $400 (both used)
Asus z87 Maximus VI Formula Asus motherboard website page
Intel 4770k
Bundle 2 (Bought today) $425 (both new)
GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 Gigabyte motherboard website page
Intel 4790k
They should both be arriving...
That zoom you are experiencing is called "Overscan" I had this issue before and was able to fix it by changing a setting on my Nvidia control panel. I assume AMD Catalyst has the same.
What monitor are you running on? If its 1080p monitor then you will without a doubt be fine but once you go to higher resolutions some games require more memory.
Generally the best pump is the Swiftech mcp655. I have one and it is very reliable.
Swiftech also makes radiators, reservoirs, waterblocks, etc for good prices.
Thanks for the info! Ill post some pics and get that radiator brand. I believe the cpu should still be in warranty but I think when I installed the waterblock on the GPU that voided the warranty.
Also the coolant used is Primochill Clear with no dye ever used
I have a 2 year old build that I may sell some of the parts of later this year. I would appreciate it if you guys could give me an honest price opinion on what these parts are worth. The CPU and GPU have never been overclocked. Opinions greatly appreciated! :)
