System Wars Lounge V47: The 60FPS 1080P Edition

I thought I had one today. Insurance is a bitch.

Man that case is FUGLY but whatever. Lets say $1000 to make it easier. Let me work my magic.

@bbkkristian I get back from class in 4 hours if you wanna do some ST runs, I also have no class tomorrow.

@clyde46: works for me. I like the case so to each his own.

What mounting points does it have?

Theres always tech support to fall back on. xD

@Ballroompirate: thought you meant sunken temple for a sec, stupid WoW influence.

@Ballroompirate:

I'll come too, just get Kris to message me on PSN when you're ready.

Do you mean the hole placements?

It's supposed to fit Mid ATX and ATX motherboards. There's a picture of what the inside looks like on the Site. Unless you really need me to take a picture.

Eeewww... no. :P Any other takers on a Platinum Club Nintendo Reward code for something else?

Oh, and I picked up The Last of Us Remastered. I'm a part of the problem!!!! D:

lol that makes two of us. :P

I like how I discovered the silver arrow on Link to the Past by complete accident two minutes after the game told me I would need them. Anyway, I beat LttP today.

To be frank here man. Its not a very good case. You can get so much more for surprisingly little money. Let me make your build up. You don't need screens, OS or KB/M right?

no Mouse or Keyboard. I don't need a Screen now, but I would prefer to get a better one in the future. I will need a new OS.

What OS are you using at the moment?

Win 7

Three, actually. ^_^

That makes it easier. AMD or Intel and AMD or Nvidia?

I wanna go Nvidia this time to take advantage of the PhysX stuff I've been seeing.

I don't know about the CPUs though, I've been eyeballing AMD, but I don't know if Intel is any better or not.

Here is an AMD video build. Let me see what I can do with Nvidia.

@Xaero_Gravity: K I still have 2 hours of class left.

Just swap the 280X for this GTX 760.

Build comes out at 1019$ instead of 1054$.

@Allicrombie: lol I thought about that when I typed ST.

@Ballroompirate: it's probably better to do it tomorrow, I'm trying to ease up on my data usage.

I'm the fourth, but I probably have to start focusing on the next semester of university soon anyway so I may not get one.

You know what I miss from the old site?

The moderation forum. It was always entertaining to check in there and see the trolls losing their shit

lol. Freakin' hilarious.

Not as good as the Antonio Banderas

Neat, I may actually considering getting that build. Thanks, but may I ask why the case I have isn't that great?

Yeah, that was a great one. It was just the perfect GIF for them winning SotY.

man, i really need a new multiplayer game to get into

Its cheap. It won't have the airflow that you need for your new parts. Plus I think it looks tacky. :P

Mechwarrior! I can play with you!

hmmm maybe. I've been meaning to download that for a while now. I downloaded Smite earlier today, no idea why lol.

Oh so it's more of a personal preference? Or are you actually worried about the cooling? The thing actually has like 2 fans on the case itself.

I also found out you didn't add Ram to the build. How am I gonna run a computer without Ram?

So taking my case to account tell me what you think of this build.

I knew I forgot something :P. I don't believe the cooling is up to par and it will not have cable routing options. I don't even think that CPU cooler will fit in that case. Second, you don't need that Windows copy. If you already have a key then I can show you a way of getting Windows (legally) and you don't really need that disc drive. That PSU is good but I think you'd be better off with the one I had. Its still good but its cheaper and its modular.

Stock cooler is fine if you're not overclocking and liquid cooling is generally w/e. A big fan will cool it just the same but for cheaper. 750 w is overkill. 550 will be fine.
I'm assuming you have something planned for the Blu-ray burner and 3 TB HDD, otherwise I would recommend 1 TB HDD for general games and files + <256 GB SSD for OS and games you wanna give the most love to (Dota 2).

The original build had an SSD with a 1TB combo and no, the stock cooler is never "fine".

why isn't the stock thermal solution fine?

Depends on how hot those APUs run. I was a bit worried with my phenom at stock speeds/cooler, when it was a bit warm in here I would sometimes reach 55c. And the limit on those is 62c.
Bought a EVO, even OC'ed and never went passed 43c

Welcome back Alli.

How was it being gone and all?

with the stock cooler did you ever exceed 62°C? eg did you ever have problems caused by excess temperature? it sounds as though you made the change pre-emptively (which is fine)

and yes an aftermarket solution should be superior. and yes, climate can have an effect.

i'm surprised when people say the thermal solution provided by amd/intel is insufficient .in some cases you can overclock with the stock cooler. it's a multi factorial dynamic thing.

@mems_1224: What happened to Titanfall?

No one plays anymore.

I've been running such a build for quite some time now while running everything from emulators to high end gaming and more. No problems here and I've been running stock case fans, stock cooler, etc.

It's dead on PC already? Shame I was thinking of picking it up.
