Sticky's new Pc

hey sup fellas....

built me a new pc well i ordered the parts today anyway here is a link to the build parts...

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DzhW


i know i know right....it's intel!?!? >_<

i wanted to go AMD but everyone and most reviews say the intel is faster the amd is not much slower but i figured what the hell can't hate on them if i've never tried there top of the line product...have only use celerons in the past with blew balls lol....

hopefully it all goes smooth i should be seeing like 20 million fps in Ac lol

That does look rather beasty. Intel CPUs are the way to go at the moment. My laptop CPU is a bit faster (i7-3720qm), but the 7950 is a gorgeous GFX card. They are monsters at OpenCL compute tasks which I do a lot of for my work, so I would love to have one.

...and SSD drives are great. My boot up time even on a fairly heavyweight SUSE linux install is extremely quick.

yea i was gonna get the i7 but the i5 is faster in gaming because it does not have hyper threading games use single thread ....but i heard u can turn the hyper off....idk i might drop one in later on i just wanted to get a very nice start..... gonna be insane coming from my old slow system lol!

nice build, let us know how it works out for you

i'll post some pics of build once all the parts arrive..

so how did the build go?

Pretty good it runs crysis 3 max settings at 60 fps ill post pics later..

here's some pics there not the best forgot to take them as i was building.....she runs pretty good shuts off and reboots from time to time under heavy load i don't know what i was thinkin went i picked psu lol pretty sure i just need more power.....other than upgradeing the psu all is well i5 3570k running at 4ghz x4 ati hd 7950 3gb card runnin at 1010mhz gpu 1250mhz ram... pulls 50-70fps is crysis 3 max settings 16x aa 2x smaa medium.... compared to my old amd athlon 3hz 1gb his hd4670 card this thing is a monster =D

Specs:

cpu: Intel I5 3570k (Oc 4ghz from 3.4ghz)

Mobo: Asrock z75 pro 3

cooler: Cooler master Evo 212 hyper

Gpu: HIS HD7950 3gb Gddr5 (Oc 1010mhz core & 1250 ram)

storage: Sandisk 128gb SDD

Ram: 8gb corsair ddr3 1600

PSU: Rosewill 500watt blue led

OS: Windows 7

case: xion cheap pos....lol cooler doesn't really fit too well with case closed >_<



look at those sexy HIS turbo 7950 pipes








1000 fps =D

sweeet, but yeah 500W is not enough if you are pushing a high end graphics card. Those things are hungry hungry hippos

yea i know people on tech forums where like yea that's all u need blah blah tech is low power these days...i was like ahhh ok ..the whole time i was thinking bs 500 is minimum i wanted a 650 or 700 watt but i purchased the parts at like 5am before work wasn't thinking properly lol

if only you knew the ideas I have for the next desktop i'm palnning to build.
Oh boy, price will be over 2,000

I'm palnning 2 nvidia geforce gtx 680 graphics cards conneted with sli, 3-4 2tb hdds, a desktop 8 core amd cpu with the highest gighest ghz rate, maybe water colling for the cpu, 32gb of ram, blue-ray burner, ~1,000w power supply, and a nice amd full-atx motherboard that supports all this and usb 3.0 in the back, and a nice case tht has a usb 3.0 port in the front.

I'm palnning to run either arch, openbsd, debian, scientific linux or suse as the main os taking up 2-3 hdds in a raid 0 configuration for all the things i do and im planning to run a few vm's 1 for banking 1 for windows browsing and skype and 1 for vpnning and 1 for the regual things i do in linux and a few others to test new os's(hence y i would need more ram and cores), and windows on the other hdd for gaming.

bam, low tech is for zombie noobs

anyways, nice PC Sticky
lol im so bored

I did read an interesting article somewhere lately suggesting that SLI type configurations never really work out that well, and it's better to just go for the most expensive single card that you can afford.

yea alot of people have drivers issues...but if u get it to work smoothly it's a very nice setup just got make sure u buy 2 of the same cards.. get's fuzzy when u try to use diff models from same company...

also i think ati is comin out with a 7990 apparently witch will me alot faster than 7970 so look into those or wait for 8 series =D

sli 7990's would be beast..


these guys made there own 7990 lol didn't wanna wait ...it's 2 7970's on one pcb the benchmarks are awsome! and it's cheaper than a nvidia 690 =D
