Thanks for the detailed response and links. I've decided that I'll just budget a 980. Also, I have another PC to swap parts to test with the new so that shouldn't be a problem.-? I am pretty excited though, It'll be a huge improvement either way.

It may seem like a closed case, but here's the impasse; I have approximately fourteen hundred USD ***Having something left over won't be a bad thing*** to spend on a new system with the exception an HDD and possibly RAM, I plan to buy the GPU next month and the CPU the month after, I've decided...

Firewall is more of a bomb shelter without a turret. Basically, it's worth it to get a separate antivirus and just keep both on. As for Comodo, it's also a lesser known solution but I believe it's decent. Bitdefender is currently the best antivirus, free and paid. Whether it's a gaming or work...

The only thing with the GPU is that 780's are fairly hard to find for reasonable prices, AND that's a 6GB EVGA 780! not quite a TI but still... I'd call it a novelty, but people seem to like novelties. Anyway, EVGA is more of a premium brand. I found the prices by a simple Google shopping...

Actually just use both, since they look for different types of viruses. There's a lot of "trigger viruses" out there *I don't know what they're actually called...* That don't actually do anything but scare you and delete themselves. I've seen some uh..terrifying stuff...Anyway, that's what it...

I get these a lot with kik on my iPhone. It shouldn't be too much to worry about but DEFINITELY run a scan, Malwarebytes is good and free. The reason I added this is that hitman seems sketchy and I can't find much on it. But malwarebytes leaves traces of it's installation, which isn't a bad...

Sounds about right to me. A great deal without taking a massive loss. But take into account how much you originally spent on the entire system and how much you would be happy with. Try to keep it under a thousand but use the 6GB 780 as leverage, I.E. Sell it seperately for say 350 OR packaged...

Right, so I'll be upgrading my system soon hopefully and I'm looking to spend around $1000, since I need a CPU, a GPU and a PSU. I currently have an i-3 3250 and a Radeon 7870, so it's definitely time for an upgrade. Anyway, I was looking at a few cards. The 290x-295, 780 and all from the 900...

Best- Samsung 850 Pro good- Crucial MX100 [/quotemsg] I plan on getting an 850, if I get an ssd, However I meant as far as mobo and cpu go. Thank's for your help btw, It's people like you that keep this forum great (: I plan on making a new part picker list with a Broadwell build soon, I...

On the note of upgrading, I don't really plan to any time soon which is why I'm kinda going all out on this build. I was looking at some broadwell' and Z97 boards but from what I gathered it would put me over 1000, which is fine, but I'd have to wait a bit longer. From my experience, if I wait...

Hey guy's. So my system..more or less exploded...And I finally got around to getting a cheap PC from Wal-Mart and quickly decided that a desktop PC having the output of a 2009 laptop wasn't good enough for me. Subsequently I went into "slight genius mode" and made a test bench out of a PS4...
