My rig is pretty old. I sold it to a friend a few years ago, but just bought it back off him so that I could play a little Overwatch/LoL. It still runs fine. And I don't think I'll be upgrading it before it runs its course because I only play lightweight mobas/fps[ul]

    That keyboard, btw, is the best typing experience i've ever had. Thing is such a joy to use. It's a RealForce 87u. Still looking for a wireless mouse that rivals the abyssus in terms of sensor + how light the thing is. I claw grip my mice. So that eliminates 99% of the options out there in the market

    That has to be the smallest mouse pad I have ever seen. You must run some crazy high dpi.

    i'm fanatical about my mouse's cable. I've tried bungees, but I find they always create some form of tension or resistance. so the reason this haphazard ass configuration works is because the first couple of critical inches of the wire are contorted into an arc to eliminate drag, but the rest of the cable is supported by the desk, and not hanging anywhere that would even add the tiniest amount of gravitational pull. I take my micro serious, it's why I can always hit d1 on LoL no matter how many times I quit over the years. it's all about how one with your mouse you are. dat dere flow state.

    only 1800. I don't need a bigger mouse pad. excellent micro is all about re-positioning with lift off.

    i have my mouse cord looking like a question mark so i have flexibility in movement without any noticeable tug. it then goes through my monitor's cable holder in the back and then to the right to my computer.

    anyways, how is the topre keyboard? that is probably my next keyboard. i love the spring+rubber dome action. i heard it's really loud though when the keys spring back up?

    oh man, I highly recommend. people give all kinds of funny descriptions when trying to explain what typing on a topre board feels like because it truly is hard to describe--it's a unique experience

    all I can say is, the keys are strong, yet soft to the touch. solid, but not stiff. responsive, though not the least bit high-pitched, nor chattery. its audible, but the tone is really pleasant

    each keystroke honestly feels like smothering your face in a plump pillow with fresh linen sheets.

    I want to enter the world of PC gaming but I have no idea where to start.

    First of all, is it really worth going for a pre-built gaming PC or should I just build my own? I'm not worried about building it because I have built PCs in the past, but I'm pretty lazy and just want something ready shipped to my door.

    I just want to play on 1440P on a 21" monitor, will this be sustainable for the years to come? I want a rig that will last me many years and can handle playing any games on max settings.

    As far as building my own goes, I've been taking a look at this one.

    Build looks good, don't buy a pre-built. Also 21" 1440p? The fuk is this chit? Get a 27" if going 1440p.

    Same as with any computer: Applications. You start with the types and quality of games you intend to play. Take that list then build your system around components capable of achieving that level of computing performance.

    This has been asked and answered many times here before. There are pros and cons to both.
    I just want to play on 1440P on a 21" monitor, will this be sustainable for the years to come? I want a rig that will last me many years and can handle playing any games on max settings.
    Don't we all. Unfortunately there are limitations to what we can achieve here and now.

    was wondering if you guys could give me some feedback on my first budget pc build ($700-800)
    https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jcFD7h

    not looking to play witcher 3 in ultra high graphics or anything. just casual gaming like overwatch/csgo in high settings with decent fps.
    appreciate the feedback!

    21" 1440P?

    Better get that 19" with 4K resolution and a magnifying glass already

    But seriously, why 21"?
    24" is small. 27" is decent. >30" is the real deal.
    (I am playing on a 24" monitor, got a 32" for work)

    [QUOTE=Miraak post_id=1492127531]The RX 480 was decent for the money but I'm getting a 1440p 144hz monitor later this year so thought the 1070 made more sense, it's ****ing huge, only just fits in my case...

    [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/C6W2pbC.png[IMG][/QUOTE]If you are getting that monitor later this year, you could have waited about a month or two for Vega. Whatever the outcome is, whether you'll like Vega or not, it will surely bring down the price of the other cards once it comes out. 1070 may be cheaper by that time.

    Edit:
    Oh just read that you just returned it. I guess its ok so you dont have to get rid of the 480 later.

    Triple Radiator for $99.99
    https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-coolstream-ce-420-triple

    Plus whatever fittings and tubes cost..

    So my cost prior to fittings, tubes, coolant, and tax/shipping is $593.94 (this is just to cool the GPU's, not the CPU), plus a case that better supports water cooling which as you listed is what.. like $799? So yeah about $1400-1500 all said and done just to liquid cool a pair of GPUs...

    Or $180 for a pair of AIO's.
    Yea but that is just a one time purchase for the main setup. Only thing that you'll ever need to change out is the GPU block if you upgrade. I sold my 1080 + 1080 EKWB and EKBP. Took a tad longer to sell the waterblock but I eventually sold it. Got $450 for my 1080 and $115 for my WB+BP.

    BTW that case I mentioned is really overpriced. $300 max for that case it should be. You upgrade videocards like you change your undies man lol.

    You change your underwear every 6-12 months? Probably still wearing that some pair from your AVI right now aren't you? Let me guess... they were originally white.

    Lmao! You know I am just messin with ya. I do upgrade when it is worth it. It is all based on opinions. I love looking at a custom built loop and glowing coolant. The G10's were pretty ugly, but did cool well. By all means save for the house. No need to waste money on something you aren't sure about.

    Yeah I was just givin' you ****. I agree the G10's aren't super aesthetic.. If Corsair would put out a kit for the 1080Ti, or if EVGA would get the Hybrid kits in stock, I'd probably go that route. I've used those Hybrid kits before and they were quite effective, and looked pretty nice. Tubes all over the place though.. I can see the appeal of a custom loop.. overall less tubing, better cooling, far better aesthetics, etc.

    I saw people modding their 1080 hybrid kit to fit on the 1080ti. Yes the hybrid kits are much better than the G10s.

    Love custom loops but my hardware is never high enough spec to justify it. Brb i5 4690k & gtx 1070

    I think ultimately if I were going to do a custom loop, I'd want to wait until I get whatever CPU I go with next. My 5930k is still a nice, capable processor, but I'd like to move to 8 or even 10 cores (will see what Intel's response is to Ryzen, or if AMD makes a 40 PCI Express lane Ryzen variant). Once I'm settled on a CPU that'll last me at least a few years (I upgrade my CPU/platform far less often than my GPU's), then it'll make more sense to do a full custom loop.

    been wanting to overhaul my whole **** ass gpu as posted a few pages ago. but as i'm reading since i'm not in a rush, that this Vega gpu is coming out which will drop the prices. any of you guys know around which quarter will they be released?

    and if i should get a 1070 or 1080ti, is the difference in performance a lot?
    1 more question, if i'm gonna dabble in video editing and stuff.. should i get the ryzen instead? i read that it has more cores and threads or something. (still a noob)
    The world would be a better place if everyone would channel their frustration and anger to better themselves and be nicer to everyone they meet. Everyone has their own fights and stories to tell, you are not more important than another.

    - note to self, lessons from 2016.

    There is a big jump in performance but you have to consider the 1080Ti is over double the price of the 1070.

    Also depends what resolution he plays at, a 1080Ti is a ****ing waste at 1080p.
