I applied on the website forum.

I really like the GIGABYTE M6800, it does everything I want it to. Fits my hand and has 2 easy to access side buttons. And it is pretty damn cheap. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA24G2HM6654

So I finally did it, after 5 years of wanting to I finally built the computer. I posted a buch of topics on this site dedicated to building this. http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/163348-opinions-on-my-rig/#entry1647851 http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/174701-what-hdd-should-i-get/#entry1784666 http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/191534-my-first-real-gaming-pc-part-deux/#entry1956486 This forum has influenced my purchases highly and this is the final result.

A while back I decided I was going to build a gaming PC, I made a topic about it and got suggestions and feedback base on my choices of hardware. Now I am beginning to build down my system, I am looking for ways to save on cash while still getting a high preforming system, therefor I desire input. This was my original build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ninonybox/saved/3nDH And this is my newer build so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3E5Cg I was wondering how much a performance loss am I actually suffering from, and also if there are ways I can save money. I am most curious on the CPU change, even though it is not was powerful is there really much of a noticeable difference? Price to performance wise the new CPU is better from what I can tell. I am not going to be overclocking my system, not yet anyways. If I want to overclock I can always get the parts later. This is why I removed the aftermarket cooler. I downgraded the ram because really 8gb is all I will really need for gaming. I removed the SSD because quite frankly I do not need it at all, load times don't really bother me to much and the price is not worth the use I will actually get out of it. What other ways can I save, but more importainly how does this new build stack up against my old one? I am also wondering if there are ways to save on the PSU while still getting the proper amount of wattage. Here are a list of games I know I will be playing and will have an impact on my choices. Dayz (duh), Fallout 3, NV, Skyrim (with a butt ton of mods and high rez texture ones.) Pluse hundreds of others.

I did update again. Changed the OS and PSU. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3EERT

I am not going to be getting the i7 if there is no significant change in preference, also I am not getting an SSD.

It's not worth it for me. OT: Now I am considering bumping down the PSU to a SeaSonic m12II 620w Bronze, thoughts? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151095

I can't decide between this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148912 or this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148840 I can't decide, any opinions an the two models? (I am getting an SSD as well for my OS and a select few games.)

My god.....the horror.

I am planning on building this in a few months and I wanted to get an opinion, I was on the fence about an SDD but I decided I didn't really need it. Cost is not an issue and granted a few things are overkill, however I was looking into future proofing as well. Thoughts? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ninonybox/saved/3nDH

Wen't and changed the internal HDD, because I am incredibly indecisive. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2UM7V I have done the calculations and split the order into two sides. I will buy some items from Newegg, and some from Amazon. Based on price and return policy. This build with cost a total of 2216.46 USD.

Thanks, I'm probably going to side with the Barracuda. I have always seen you as a reliable source of information/opinion.

So far I am leaning towards the Barracuda, though still accepting input. Current Rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ninonybox/saved/3nDH

Changed the PSU again. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2TFHs

Another Update. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2PSQZ Changed the PSU.

Why do you need a notebook, do you travel a lot?

Step 1: Don't get a Laptop Step 2: Do get a Desktop Step 3: ???

+1 :beans:

Just ordered a Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset.

So now that I have my rig I just need to buy the parts, I just need around $1500 more so I can buy it and have some money left over. Unfortunately I am not working for 2 weeks because part time scheduling sucks. But I just wanted to thank you all for the help and advice, see you in the wasteland.

I don't intend to multi screen my games, just because I don't like turning my head while I game. I like to literally stare at my screen. Also I belive you are correct on the PSU. I will update. .....oh. Knew I forgot something. Updated: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Apsp

I think I know the answer already, but just for shits and giggles lets see. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2zufw

Alright now that my brain is no longer fried I can look at the monitor problem clearly. I think a 1080p monitor is compatible, because I don't see why it wouldn't be. From what I can gather they mean you need a 4k monitor to play in 4k. I am defiantly going with the Extreme4. So now my rig has this setup, thoughts so far? http://pcpartpicker.com/user/ninonybox/saved/
