True. I'd listen to this 100% for anyone else. Chances are I won't find that great of a discount for any of my parts though. I'd already gotten a killer discount that will definitely not be beat for the CPU/Motherboard. Also, a simple call to Newegg and telling them you're doing a full build...

Endurance

Ordered the rest of my parts last night, here's what I came up with for a final build:Intel Core i7-4770K, EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti, Corsair Air 540 - System Build - PCPartPicker PCPartPicker didn't have the right GPU, I actually got this one:Newegg.com - EVGA 03G-P4-2884-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti...

PM'd you. Side note for people building new computers and are more or less planning it around BF4 or similar games, please see this article for GPU and CPU benchmark comparisons:Battlefield 4 Retail GPU and CPU Benchmarks

Q3 or Q4 of 2014 is when it is expected to drop.

If I'm not mistaken Intel has indicated we likely won't see CPU/Mobos in the mainstream that support DDR4 until at least 2015 (Skylake processors).

Side note: If anyone is interested I have a few components for sale yet from my old build. Samsung 830 128GB SSD, Gigabyte 660 Ti GV-N66TOC-2GD (their OC'd version), ASUS P8Z77-V LK, and a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

So I decided to go a bit more balls out than usual on my new build - trying to find an OC'd 780 Ti from Gigabyte or EVGA or the like is taxing.

Whelp. Bought my CPU and Motherboard today at Microcenter. Intel Core i7-4770Kfor $200 ASUS Z87-PROfor $165~ish Hard to pass that deal up.

Both of my big toes. Would you rather lose a single arm or a single leg?

FYI if you live near a Microcenter they have a killer deal on i7-4770k's for $200 and you can bundle them with a good motherboard for $350-375~ after tax (in my state at least) right now:Intel Processor Motherboard Bundles | Micro Center These processors alone cost $340/$300/$300/$340 at...

Microcenter has the i7-4770k for $200 right now. That is a pretty amazing price for that proc.

What is your price range?

This times 1000. An SSD nowadays is an absolute must. As far as waiting, your best bet as most people have pointed out is purchasing most stuff on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. If you have a Microcenter near you, get a list of items you want to buy, bring it in and they should match it...

Here's a decent $1k example build to start from:Intel Core i5-4670K, Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760, Cooler Master HAF 912 - $1k example build - jeydaxs Saved Part List - PCPartPicker CPU's aren't really the bottle neck right now for the majority of games - GPU's are. So future proofing with the...

I'd say if you see an obvious killer deal on Friday get it, but Monday should have most of the really good PC building deals. That is my strategy this year.

I'm still confused as to why anyone who is using Windows 8 or 8.1 wouldn't have Classic Start installed. Metro fucking blows, we all know that. Replace that with Classic Start and there is literally no reason why 7 is better than 8.

Video Card: Depends really on your budget. The GeForce GTX 760 at $240~ is a very solid midrange card. The 660 silence recommends isn't a bad choice either, the AMD equivalent of that card would be the R9 270. If you're thinking in the $155~ish range the GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB is the best...

Pump It Up

You can also set it to just boot directly to desktop. I never ever see Metro.

I have the same issue on my phone. I'll hit play on a voice mail, it'll play for a second then stop. Play, stop. Play, stop. Rustles my jimlets to no end. I thought my phone was just screwy and haven't bothered to look it up - glad I'm not the only one. If it would work as intended the...

Just tryin' to save a brotha some money my man.

Bentley/Rolls Royce? lol Lian Li and SilverStone are definitely a step above Corsair (most of them anyways).

A frustrated wife buys a pair of crotch-less panties in an attempt to spice up her dead sex-life. She puts them on, together with a short skirt and sits on the sofa opposite her husband. At strategic moments she uncrosses her legs... enough times that her husband finally asks, "Are you...

Trying to think of why he would lift his hand up like that - probably thought there was possibly another Bengal behind him? Either way, GG. That sucks if you're a Ravens fan.

WOW!!! The ending of regulation of the Ravens/Bengals was exciting.

Marmac do you have a parts list you had for your build? Specifically, which Power Supply did you use? I've heard some people having cord length issues in that case.

I was not a fan of the NZXT Phantom 410 which I have in my current build. The rubber that covers the wiring holes fell out quite easily and I just didn't really like it that much. It is a pretty big "midsize" case from my experience. I guess I don't care about looks, or size - if it is a huge...

I've used the 212 EVO in a couple builds now with great results, but fair enough. The Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 looks to get high praises all around. PCPartPicker watches all of the sites and will alert you of the best pricing. NewEgg is obviously one of my top choices in the U.S. here. Yup, that is...

I wish I could get my wiring to be that clean looking. I'm in the process of vetting out a new configuration since the GPU battle seems to be over (for now). $2k or under budget - I have a MicroCenter very close I could use (CPU/Motherboard bundle is $466.62 after tax for example). I have a...

Beer. Most wine tastes like shit to me and I gave up hard liquor 4 years ago because of the retarded shit I would do on it and not a huge fan of the taste. Crab legs or lobster?

Getting the world first Patchwerk (then Grobbulus right after, but he was ez mode) kill (Vanilla Naxx). That was the biggest rush I've ever had gaming. Favorite EQ memory?

Hey bros. I'm going to be looking into this a little be right now but again thought I'd ask for your advice. I have a family friend who is looking for a new computer. Her requirements: Must run Windows (doesn't matter if 7 or 8 or whatever), she will be doing email, internet, typical MSOffice...

It won't make a difference, definitely go with the higher resolution of the Q2710

More 780 Ti info coming out:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti has great overclocking potential | VideoCardz.com TLDR: 15-23% faster than a R9 290X (in synthetic tests) after overclocking on a stock cooler.

Agreed. Upgrading your CPU/RAM/SSD is not going to improve your frame ratemuchfor BF4. Upgrade your GPU and you'll be all set. Here is a chart showing that: Source:CPU Benchmarks - Battlefield 4 Beta Performance: 16 Graphics Cards, Benchmarked And here is the comparison between the...
