Is there any reall performance or functionality hit in using a mITX versus a standard size board?

None other being limited to 2 dimms for memory. Almost must consider the amount of harddrives, heatsink youre going to use etc.

And Kaby Lake is due out at the end of the year as well as AMD's new 14nm processor, Zen. Supposedly performance is almost equal with intel chips.

Finally got g10 all setup;

Don't ever believe the hype. Amd is never on part with Intel chips. Every single fucking generation people say that and it never happens.

Was browsing for a new PC and in the middle of a move so don't want to deal with building - This comes to about 1550 on Cyberpower with current deals. Also comes with free mechanical keyboard!.
Not really interested in too bleeding edge or overclocking, just relatively future proofing. I also already have a 2 TB standard hard drive I can put in with the SSD. My current pc is about 4 years old with a gtx 670. Thoughts?

My concerns, is with any pre-built is the quality of the parts. Who is Asetek? Corsair H100i or bust bruh!

SanDisk SSD? I wouldn't go anything but Samsung.

Generic power supply? They don't even let you know that it would be at least gold certified or at least something. That's concerning. F that.

You don't sound in desperate need. Wait until move is done, and build your own with better parts, and probably for cheaper.

Fogel · Jul 24, 2016

Guess I could hold out, don't want to impulse buy on something major after all. I could get upgrade to a Corsair H60 for +20, would I really need to go all the way up to the H100 if I'm not Oc'ing? And I could easily get a slightly lower voltage name brand PSU I guess.

Noodleface · Jul 24, 2016

Cyberpower has terrible reviews. Be careful buying from them.

Check out my post from a couple pages ago:

Still Cyberpower, but better quality components and cheaper to boot(Intel SSD, EVGA PSU, overclockable 6700k, etc

Asetek is the OEM for like 90% of all aio coolers in the US. Pretty much any aio that hasa round base and uses teeth to lock into the base plate = asetek so corsair h50, h90, h100, h110 etc.

Lookin for a new video card;

CPU: I7 2600k
Mobo: Gigabyte z68x-ud3h-b3
Ram: 8g
PS: 600w
Graphics card: gtx 460

On a budget of about 500~
I am torn between the 1070 ftw or the strix 1070.

Thanks

The 1070 is solid, and you can probably get one for under $400 very soon (Jet.com had one briefly in stock for $360 the other day, and MSRP on 3rd party boards is only supposed to be about $370, prices are artificually inflated right now due to inventory shortages form the recent launch). I'd think about slapping another 8GB of RAM in there too, you'll probably need it within the next couple years.

bleedat · Jul 25, 2016

looking for a video card suggestion.
I haven't upgraded in years and I can't play much besides wow and it's annoying me.
I have an i5-3570. @3.4.
Looking to spend $200 and play most stuff reasonably lag free. My current card is like a 5870 so i'm sure anything would be an upgrade.

Noodleface · Jul 25, 2016

You might be able to find a 970 for around 200 soon, not sure how that stacks up to newer cards like AMD's stuff

Finally got my 1070. My average FPS (on Ultra) in Overwatch went from 130-140 to about 230-250.. this means I can try to max everything out, because ideally I'd want to sit around 144

bleedat · Jul 25, 2016

will I have any issues with my processor with a 970?

Noodleface · Jul 25, 2016

Don't quote me but I don't think a 3rd generation (is that haswell or ivy bridge?) will bottle neck it.
