Not sure honestly! My current PC is one that has been pieced together bit by bit but is long due for an upgrade.
I'm glad you think this will be a good build, I'm just about to order it!
Well, hope you enjoy the new PC! It's a beast :) What case are you going for tho?
-
Great build! It'll max out with 60FPS @ 1080P with an ENB. Recommend going with a modular PSU so it's much cleaner and also what CPU cooler are you using? The 212 EVO is beast btw for 30 bucks :)

Hi guys
I'm having a problem with getting my cryenb v3 looking good.
My pc specs are GTX 980,16 ram with ddr4 so I know my game can run everything on insane settings but it Don't look very impressive compared to what I've seen on YouTube. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong any suggestions or ideas be great
Many youtubers use edited versions of CRYENB so that might be why. Tell me what you want and I'll see if can edit it for you.
(What youtubers?)
-
Can you list it please?
-
Do you have a commandline?
-
I'll just keep twiddling my thumbs. Rockstar better optimize this game with 60 FPS on my Intel HD4000 ;) All in all seriousness, I'll take the wait if it means a more stable game on release instead of multiple 5~GB patches to download all the time.
-
That sounds like a driver issue. Boot into safemode and if it works, re download and install all your drivers again. Bootup and it should be fixed :)

Laptops are much harder to upgrade because the GPU due to the fact that they are usually soldered to the motherboard and CPU as one. Most you can probably upgrade is the RAM, SSD/HDD.
-
I know you didn't say the GPU, I didn't mean it the way it sounded. I found another computer it has a MSI GTX 660 2gb and a i5-4440. Would this be a better setup to use? Could I get more FPS and play on high with this setup?
I have a question. How important is RAM on playing games? The reason I am asking is because I found a video where someone was using the same Graphics card (GTX 660) and the CPU (i5-4440), and the video was actually pretty good and he ran around 40 - 50 fps. The only thing different was the RAM because he had 8gb and the computer stated above would have 16gb. So I was wondering if it would give me like a 5 - 10 fps boost for having double the RAM he does?
The 660 and I5 is pretty good. Better than the previous computers you have mentioned. You'll get about 35-45ish FPS on high depending on the resolution you are playing on. Anything above 8GB's of RAM will not boost gaming so there isn't any point getting more than 8 unless you are doing video/photo editing and such.

Recently, there have been quite a bit of posts about will their computer run GTA IV on this settings with this ENB etc. This is here for you to comment your system specs and I'll get back to you on how well it will run. (FPS, settings, ENB, mods, etc)
The best format for listing specs:
CPU - Intel I7-4770KRAM - 8GB 1600MHz DDR3GPU - Asus Radeon R9 280x 3GB, TOP Overclocked EditionPSU - Corsair AX760i 80+ PlatinumCase - NZXT H440Solid State Drive - Samsung 128GB SSDHard Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM Seagate BarracudaDisk Drive - LG DVD BurnerMotherboard - Asus Z97 ROG Max. VII HeroUse Hwinfo to find out: http://www.hwinfo.com/ORHow to find PC specs: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000017.htm -
I was looking to buy a computer with these specs? Are these good?
Case: NZXT midsize case with 5 120mm blue LED fans and 2 UV cold cathode lights, along with a LG dvd drive
Motherboard: Asus M5A990FX R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Editon
RAM: Gskill Ripjaws 8GB (2X4GB) @1600Mhz
GPU: a set of Radeon HD7770 2GB
PSU:corsair CX600M bronze rated
SSD: Intel 520 series 60GB (for OS) also has a 640GB Hard Drive for storage.
Will the Radeon HD 7770 2GB crossfire make a difference than the single HD 7770?
Its pretty good. The GPU is slightly slacking and would recommend getting a GTX 750 Ti instead or the R9 270X. Don't you have another difference PC post already tho? SLI wont make that much of a difference as GTA IV support for SLI isn't the greatest.
-
But since it is a dual core at 3.4ghz it should be fine, right? It's not like it is a 2.4ghz like the gta 4 requirements say I should have.
It should be fine, but GTA IV is known to be a CPU hog so it might iffy. Just try it out, make sure you have a commandline and patch 1.0.7.0 so you get some decent performance. First, no ENB and then if you want, you can add CRYENB V3 after to see how well it runs.

Hey. I was interested in buying a computer with these specs.
- CPU - AMD Athlon II X2 270 3.40GHz, Dual Core
- RAM - 8GB 1600MHz
- GPU - Asus Radeon R9 280x 3GB, TOP Overclocked Edition
- PSU - Ultra HS750 Modular 750 Watt
- Case - Cougar Solution Black Steel Gaming ATX Mid Tower
- Extra Fan - Cougar Vortex 120mm Case Fan
- Solid State Drive - SanDisk 128GB SSD
- Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda
- Disk Drive - LG DVD Burner
- Motherboard - MSI 990FXA-GD80
Will this computer be able to run GTA 4 with high FPS? Is it work the buy?
Thats a pretty good PC but the CPU is a bit outdated. If this is a prebuilt, I suggest building your own instead as it is much better and cheaper. It'll run GTA IV at high settings with an ENB at respectable frames tho.

Just to update you all that I have mind my mind and I have an great deal with the online store. Getting this http://goo.gl/QeXubJ and I get $110 off the beating price.
I get a 404: Page not found

That's an really nice Asus model, After comparing it, there are a lot of difference in them.
1. Same GPU but MSI has 6gb where Asus has 3gb (MSI wins)
2. Asus has allot more Ram size then MSI (Asus Wins)
3 Asus has bigger size SSD then MSI (Asus wins)
4 Asus is more heavier (MSI wins)
Well, they both really good an heard to tell from both of them really.
Yeah, but just wanted to point out that between 6GB to 3GB VRAM on a laptop, it won't matter at all. Since both are 1080P screens, they won't be using more than 3GB's of VRAM. It's just a marketing scheme. Unless you run 9000+ Skyrim Mods that is than yeah, go for the 6GB

Here is a complete guide detailing parts of PC's, how to build them and why. Hope you guys enjoy it
A lot of computer enthusiasts don't like to admit it, but PC manufacturers have the power of buying in bulk that you'll never have. Even with their markups, you can often get them cheaper than building your own, especially on the lower end of things. If you don't have a lot of specific needs—that is, if you just need a simple computer for web browsing, Microsoft Office, and other low-powered tasks—you'll probably get a cheaper system by buying one, and you won't notice a big difference between it and something you build yourself (but we all know you want a beast gaming PC for LCPDFR
). Building your first PC may be scary to you, but it isn't all that bad. This guide will walk you through the the steps of building a PC along with FAQ's and general information. Just before we start, I will warn you. Building a PC is no easy slap it all together and throw some peanut butter and screws at it and expect it'll work. You will have to take some time and use common sense and your knowledge while building so there will no issues. Step 1
-Budget: How much are you willing to spend on building your PC? The costs of parts vary depending on their performance and features they offer. *Please note that depending on where you are, prices will be different*. Most common price builds range from $400, $700 and $1000 plus.
-Research (Websites): The best websites to find information on building your PC are~
http://linustechtips.com/main/
http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forums/
Plus many more but those will provide you with information about trouble shooting, the best parts and prices and pretty much whatever questions you may have regarding PC's.
Step 2
-Choosing your parts: As we have discussed earlier, prices of parts range depending on their performance and abilities. The main components of a PC include• Chassis/case• Power supply• CD/DVD drives• Hard Drive(s)/SSD(s)• RAM (Random access memory)• Motherboard• CPU (Central processing unit)• CPU heat sink (Liquid Cooling/Air)• Video card (graphics card)• Sound card* (optional if your motherboard has onboard sound which most do)• Operating system software• Monitor (display)• Peripherals (Keyboard/Mouse, Speakers)The best place to organize parts, find whats compatible and lowest prices, http://pcpartpicker.comis the place to go. It classifies the lowest prices of parts, compatibility and such.Picking out your parts is very difficult especially when you have no clue what GB's, GDDR or such means so I have already have a list of parts with their performance level for you.CPU'sWhat does a CPU do? The processor, or CPU, is the brain of the computer. It basically does arithmetic, but incredible fast.IntelIntel: Ranging from lowest to highest (Price/Performance)Intel Pentium G3258Intel Core i3-4160Intel Core i5-4460Intel Core i5-4690KIntel Core i7-4790KIntel Core i7-5930KAMDAMD Athlon X4 860KAMD FX-4300AMD FX 6300AMD FX 8350AMD FX-9590Intel or AMD? This question is often asked so I'll break down the cons and pros of each brand.Pros and Cons for Going with IntelPros: Better performance, higher FPS, more suited for high-end rigs, sports better motherboards
Cons: Much more expensive, not as much cache (Nerd Alert!)
Pros and Cons for Going with AMDPros: More affordable, over clocking friendly, more cores.
Cons: Some iffy motherboards, questionable dependability, lower performance in certain areas (Games), gets very hot at times
TL:DR- So overall, if you are on tight budget, AMD is the way to go. If you have a bit more to spend and want better performance, Intel with offer that performance.
GPU's
What is a GPU? A graphics card or GPU, is basically another core/brain/CPU with it's own RAM for displaying your graphics from your games/movies,etc. Once again there are different brands for graphic cards. And here are the best ones going from lowest to the best.
Nvidia
GTX 750 Ti
GTX 760
GTX 960
GTX 970
GTX 980
GTX Titan Z
AMDAMD Radeon HD 7770AMD Radeon R7 250XAMD Radeon R7 260XAMD Radeon R9 270AMD Radeon R9 270XAMD Radeon R9 280AMD Radeon R9 290AMD Radeon R9 295X2I will not be listing prices due to the fact that different places will have different prices. To find out prices, just copy and paste the model number into google and look at your local dealers prices and that will give a general sense of pricing. Remember, there is still tax and shipping!Here are some pre-built part lists that have been made already. If you do not want to do research into buying specific parts than here are builds corresponding to your budget.*These builds do not include monitors nor peripherals nor windows (OS)!*All FPS estimates are with 1.0.7.0, LCPDFR Mods, and @ 1080P (1920x1080)$400 USDYou'll be able to run GTA IV on high settings (No ENB) at about 30-45FPS$550 USDGTA IV at Max settings with 40-50+FPS (No ENB)$760GTA IV High/Max Settings with 45-60 FPS and CRYENB V3$1000GTA IV Max settings with 50-60FPS+ with CRYENB V3Those are just some builds, if you want a specific price point with specific parts and I will put something together for you!Many other builds with price points: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/269162-31-recommended-builds-usageAs for the other parts such as MOBO, PSU and etc. they are chosen depending on your parts so it is very difficult to put together a list of recommend parts. To find the best parts, check out these forum posts or comment on this post/message me your parts and I'll find the best, suitable model for you.Step 4Building the PC itself!Now is the time to build the PC! What we have been waiting for all this timeGuide with pictures and step by step instructions on building: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/274745-31-step-step-guide-buildingVideo on how to build:*Be sure to run the recommended tests to ensure your system is fully operational!*Hope this guide helped you and if you have any questions at all, feel free to message me and I'll do my best to help you out
Also if this guide is missing anything or breaking any rules, please tell me and will fix it right away!Cheers!~Dave -
I would personally go for a different mobo. The Z97A is a better option imo
If you are willing to spend a bit more, the Z97 PRO has some extra features that are worth taking a look at it
Main differences between the A vs the PRO~
Z97-A has a lower-end audio CODEC than the Z97-Pro does, 2 PCI slots instead of PCI-e x1 slots (two PCI-e x1 on the Z97-A, four PCI-e x1 on the Z97-Pro).
Also, 8-phase instead of 12-phase power delivery.

I really like the ASUS G751 (GTX970M Model)
http://www.onlinecomputer.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=13748
Same price but slightly better specs than the MSI (Larger SSD, more RAM, etc) at the same price. Only downside of it is its heavier. ~4.3KG so I don't know if that's a deal breaker for you. Both are the same price.
Full specs can be found here: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ROG_G751JM/specifications/
Looking at the MSI, it looks pretty solid :)
All in all, I would get the ASUS over the MSI just because in terms of customer service and reliability.

Thoughts on the GTX 960-980

In reply Windows446, you are completely wrong sir. First of all, yes the 3.5GB ram issue is there BUT as theninja35 has state, NO games currently use 4GB of VRAM on 1080p or even 1440p. The only game that does is Shadow of Mordor with Ultra Textures at 4K in which case if you are doing that then yes, the 970 is not for you but that does not make it a bad card. In fact, it's is one of the best performance cards on the market right now for the price. Also it's not only 3.5GB. The memory is broken into 2 segments, one is 3.5GB of faster VRAM while the other 500MB is much slower. I can tell first hand that the 970 is one of the best cards to get right now for the price as I recently bought an Asus Strix GTX 970 for 300$ and it runs GTA IV max settings with CRYEnb V3 and bunch of other shaders with 10+ mods and I get around 50ish FPS while recording on 1080P. Any other optimized game such as Shadow of Mordor, Dying Light run at max with 60FPS. Not being a fanboy here but with all due respect, you are wrong about the 970. As for OP, if you are on a budget, a 970 is perfect but if you can shell out more, grab a 980 or SLI 2x970's together. If you are going cheap, a 960 does the job well but don't expect max out 60FPS gaming. Cheers!
*Note* My 970 is o/c by +100Mhz, not much tho and you can go higher.
