@GTR12: Thanks, turns out that my HDD does need replacing, I think. The short DST test failed. D:

I don't want to hover over this dilemma. I just want to get my new PC, that's all. I probably wont use this as much after I build my next one as i don't really travel at all.

Just suggestions and corrections. That's all I'll ever want from this thread.

I'm thinking of going with an IPS, 60Hz, 1080p, on a herp derp response time. Getting really annoyed as people say there is either a huge difference between 5ms and 2ms, a difference between the two or there is no difference at all. I'm pretty sure I will never tell the difference between the two but what is good for fast passed FPSs, 8ms, 5ms, 2ms or 1ms? I said good remember, not the most magnificent piece of art, ok?

BTW, atm I have 581GBs on my current HDD. Though it also says 624,691,245,056 bytes. Anyways, I've only used 191GBs of it and I was just wondering if I really need a 1TB HDD as well as a 120GB SSD. Wouldn't a 750GB HDD seem more appropriate, I don't download movies or have a ton of pictures. What would you recommend purely for gaming, size wise?

I think I'll stick with the stock thermal paste, but seriously, what am I going to get. 3570K or a 4670K? Like for an extra $5 what's the difference with the 4670K and the 3570K?

Just one more thing, will the stock thermal paste that comes with the CPU be good enough?

@DIV1D3: I would say no to difference besides max 60FPS and max 120FPS between monitors.

If you have really good eyes, you can tell the difference between 1080p and 1440p, just remember the higher res will mean more frequent GPU upgrades as it needs more grunt to run games at that res.

Computer parts get outdated every 6 months, so yes it will be outdated but unless you got the cash to spend on a shiny new GPU, it doesn't make a difference really (you get about 5-10% improvement every GPU gen). But you got consoles to remember about, most multiplat games wont be too demanding anyway.

Instead of those 2 CPU's look at the 4670k, it sits right between those 2. I have the 3570k and its great at everything I throw at it, it wont make a difference for future games.

Yer well I was really set on the 4770k as it was only $400 before and now it's gone up to $500! It's just a shame to still have to pay more for less for when I could have gotten the 4770k a lot cheaper.

I would like to know about the Hz of the panel, will it constrain the R9 290 on lets say BF4? I want to have your opinion, will a 120Hz monitor be far superior than a 60Hz monitor? Also would I benefit from the 120Hz panel with an R9 290? Like with the double screen refresh rate would it slow the 290 down?

I think i'll just stick with a 1080p monitor as right know I'm about half a metre away, should be farther away ik, and i can see any pixels, looks good and to be honest I don't think i would notice 360 more pixels. Now that i think about it, the 1080p 60Hz monitor is a fair choice. Like it would look good, it'll be an IPS, perform great and won't strain the 290 in future games to come.

On an urgent note, my laptop, what I'm using right now, is dying, IMO. Almost every time i use this piece of s*** at least program does not respond. It's getting infuriating D:. Since I downloaded Ghosts, MW3 takes three tries to work, always. Last night was the last straw. Firstly, Tend Micro didn't respond, then Steam, then Windows Explorer, THEN WINDOWS itself. I wasn't able to do anything! So in response I simply closed the top walked over to a chair and released the battery. Every things fine now but I guarantee you that the next time any type of GPU or CPU demanding program starts then all hell will break loose. Any suggestion other than dropping this retarded machine from 35 floors?

Thanks!

Also, I really want to get this straight.

Will there be a difference in the 4770K and the 3570K in the future. I would like to know for future games. Will there be any possible advantage for the i7, thanks :)!

@DIV1D3: With the monitor, personally I prefer visual quality over Hz so I would recommend a IPS 60Hz over a TN 120Hz most of the time, the only time I prefer the TN panel is if its a high quality panel vs a low quality IPS.

Are there any shops near you which have display monitors? doesn't have to be a computer shop, even something like Kmart or whatever where you can just look at the difference.

On to the mobo, like I said earlier, the on-board quality of the audio built into mobos suck, yes even that killer audio (its just marketing gimmick). If your an audiophile, you will want a dedicated sound card, even those cheap $40 sound cards are better than what iyou get on the mobo. Just think about that and see if you still want that G45.

PCI ports are basically useless for you, they are mainly for add-on peripherals, wi-fi card, Bluetooth, sound card, extra USB's, firewire ports etc (you get the point). GPU's take PCIe, not PCI, that e is important :p

The Seagate for $70 is fine, don't get the Fujitsu, it has a sandforce controller, they aren't good.

Case is fine, I'm just wondering, do you need a fan controller? there are CPU, GPU and mobo sensors to monitor and automatically adjust the fan speed and you can set the programs to control the speed depending on a temp if you want to manually.

I was leaning towards the IPS even if it isn't able be 120Hz. I would just like to conclusively know if there is a known difference between 120Hz and 60Hz, same with 1080p and 1440p. Will it look better with a better quality screen, or a higher refresh rate. Then what about the pixel amount? Is there a noticeable difference with an extra 360p?

The only shops that would sell the monitor that I would like would probably be only Harvey Norman. I live in Ayr, which doesn't have a large amount of options.

That's right, lol, PCIe.

With the Fijitsu, it has a higher write and read speed, that's why I wanted to know if it is good.

I don't think I will need a fan controller, though I will get one later on just for convenience.

Also, what's with 20nm GPUs, will they make the 28nm GPUs outdated? I have no idea about what it would do and I can't really do anything as I only have 30mins.

Anyways, thanks for all your help, especially you GTR12. Thanks. :)

Rayman Legends, Terraria, StarBound, Steam World Dig, Serious Sam 1st/2nd encounter.

I would recommend all of these, though I haven't played Serious Sam I've seen some gameplay. 2D side scrollers like the ones mentioned aren't took graphically demanding but are a lot of fun. I would in particularly recommend Terraria, followed by Starbound and Rayman Ledgends.

@DIV1D3: Monitors have them but I've never seen a person even connect the monitor's USB to the mobo, let alone use the ports. I've got 3 USB ports on my monitor as well but it hasn't even been plugged in, hell I don't even know the ports work lol.

6yrs I've had the monitor.

Lol, you know I appreciate this help but you should get some sleep. It says it's 3:30 or something about that when you post. Here it's 9:30 but you should go to sleep :P.

Umm that's GS for you, welcome to GlitchSpot, I'm from Australia just like you and in the same timezone it seems (9.30pm) when I posted that.

Lol. Btw just got to Brisbane for my holidays and the place that I’m staying at only gives me 30mins of free wi-fi D:. Therefore I won't be able to do much until Friday.

What's with the monitor, I don’t know about it at all. I like the suggestion you made especially because of the price. Just want to know if there a noticeable difference between 1080p and 1200p, then to 1440p? The same with 60Hz and 120Hz, I probably wouldn't want a 1200p monitor because you can only get them in max 60Hz. So is there a large difference between a 1440p 60Hz or a 1080p 120Hz, which is better for gaming in your opinion, and which would be able to achieve higher frames.

Is there a mobo that is cheaper than the G45 but still has most of its features? Do you think that the E2200 Killer audio on it is adequate for gaming? Also how many PCI ports is acceptable, I would think that each component would take a PCI while the GPUs take PCI x16.

Also I have found that the Seagate Barracuda is only $70 compared to the WD Black which is generally $100. The Fijitsu S308 128GB is the same price as the 840 EVO but with is 10MB/s read and 90MB/s faster all the while being 8GBs larger. Is there something that the EVO has that the Fijitsu hasn't. I know about the turbo thing but as I have said many times, will I notice it?

I'm pretty set on the Aerocool Strike-X Advanced White, maybe with a fan controller. Is there a fan controller that monitors the temps. can adjust the speed of five fans, for $30-$50? I don't need one but it would be nice in the future to be able to easily change the fan speeds and check the temps. Does it have good enough cable management for a non-modular PSU, the Strike-X?

Sorry for writing so much all the time lol, it's just I would like to get this sorted out as quickly as possible. I really appreciate your help :D.

@FelipeInside: Lol, ik. It's a habit I have and I probably should stop. It's just that my computer has to be on when the time I have programmed it to scan my PC. If it's not turned on than it doesn't scan so I have to do it manually.
