first off... please post the pcpartpicker perma-link that is at the top left of the build. It makes it easier. Also state your budget.
here is what I put together: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1HLLh
A couple important notes:
1) You don't want the asrock pro if you are planning on overclocking. It is a good motherboard, but it is not designed for overclocking.
2) I would recommend the AMD 8350 for a more future proofed build. It is better for games that will be coming out starting next year that use more than 4 threads. The i5 is faster than the 8350 per core, but the 8350 multi-tasks better and is faster for programs and games that use 6+ threads.
** I changed some other things in the build because I feel they are better quality or more fuctional for about the same price.
Its not going down hill. Some people are just trolling because their real life is that fucking boring. Don't let it affect your view of the site... a quick report to admin will rectify the situation. It's best just to ignore it.
So what if they dont get built? Are you here to troll or help? And i have been on here long enough to know that this site is nice. But there was so much less haters and trolls 8 months ago..
I know for a fact that 3 people have built 3 rigs with my help on this website. Many others didn't post back after their supposed build date, but did leave comments say they were going with one of the builds that people posted on the forum.
What about a dual 280x (since it looks like it might offer similar performance at a much lower cost) steam-box on a 4K TV with Linux SSD caching for under 2K?
4k really doesn't look that much better to me, I'd rather have a smooth picture. I also do not want to CF or Sli because I am afraid of micro stuttering.
Not a bad idea. 4k is good if you play on very large TV's. It isn't good for less than 32" inch though. 2560x1600 is still perfect picture at that size... still looks amazing over 40" but you might want to sit back a little. lol
