Edit: looking at my profile pic not cyroburner's. I got a dual Xeon for the pci-e lane capacity. So, the new motherboard will probably be changed for a higher capacity chip set for further expansion. I also invested in a big case on my last upgrade with ample space for radiators if things had...

Thinking about new machine, purchased a couple of 43" 4K smart TV's and running them on 4790/32 GB DDR3, 980ti, Win7Pro which is now getting long in the tooth. Upgrading to DDR4 RAM makes a new motherboard necessary, want to go to 64 GB, a board mounted 1 TB boot drive, a graphics card that'll...

Generally, before people try and spend your money wisely: 512GB SSD - maybe M.2 with the right motherboard if it has best support. Samsung. 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, yes, MB could support more for the future. 4 or 6 core processor - Intel. Highest GHz for sure. I like bigger cases Thermal Take V51...

You have a budget and for your uses you won't notice a difference. Take the biggest SATA SSD you can afford. A Samsung can also let you have a little extra boost if you have enough RAM free with Rapid mode. The slowest thing in your process is you. The processor is faster. The GPU is faster...

Well you're close to the best but with a couple of tweaks a little more value for your money: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor ($501.98 @ DirectCanada) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($109.95 @ Amazon...

Yes, you can upgrade from 6850K to 6950X it uses the same socket 2011-3. For building...there's a few video's for that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Js2A1qdB8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea_bs5G1yYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TB5MgI16I8...

Once the fluff is cleared away I came up with this stripped down version that you could build yourself. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor ($605.99 @ B&H) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($88.33 @ OutletPC)...

Been thinking about where you are and where you need to go from your current bottlenecked build. A short midstep would indeed be to add another 16GB of RAM and change out your GPU for a 1070/1080 or just add a 1060/16GB's and move the machine down the pecking order with a pretty good boost and...

Depends on what you mean by rubbed. If you have paste I'd take the whole thing down to clean and put a new pea sized drop on in the middle where you need the best contact. Most pastes are of the same quality but I always rub off the pre-applied stuff out of principle.

Hey fil76274, hope this helps a bit. Some little tweaks because this will also be your earning machine at the end of school. More cores mean when things don't use the GPU you will have some extra horsepower or the ability to get other things done even though you do have a laptop. The wireless...

In pcpartpicker.com you simply hit the bb button and cut and paste from there: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($345.88 @ Amazon) CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($59.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus...

First: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuJYMCbIbPk Then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXOaCkbt4lI The internet has lots of answers. Used xeon/dual motherboards/psu/RAM on ebay. Choose wisely according to your abilities. Follow the path with the most support. OMG led into an ancient...

Here's a good starting point, they say it falls on its sword to save the rest of the jewels in the box. Tripp Lite TLP1008TEL Surge Protector 120V 10 Outlet RJ11 8-Feet Cord 2395 Joule - of course YMMV.

It looks like a premium build. Well researched right in the spectrum for the price. Indeed a bit of overkill until you add in some video or rendering or photography and all day use in general then it will be walking for the next couple of years even supporting VR.

Seems like the new standard gaming machine -spinners +1 and ready for the next two or three years easy with the ability to upgrade to 144 or 4K gaming, certainly enough to get into VR and all quality parts. Good job, maybe somebody can pick nits but you've done your homework.
