| @ Merik I Would recommend a Crucial M4 SSD, or if money is not an issue then Intel would be another good option, but can't go wrong with Crucial M4. |

For one, you don't tend to need sequential write speed on an SSD that often. For two, not many places have the internet for you to need it when you do, and for three, would you rather save a few seconds while installing your OS the first time, or save a LOT of time by only doing it once? When I say Sandforce drives have reliability issues, I mean they tend to forget where they put shit and start bluescreening until you RMA. |

| @Merik Yes that would be the one, however there are good deals on the 128GB Versions of that card I would look into that if you have not already purchased the other. Last edit: 2012-04-12 17:05:56 |

This uses 4096 instead of the 1024 default, which is preferable for SSDs or HDDs with 4096 byte-sectors

Just finished assembling my new computer!
rough specs:
Asus sabertooth x79 motherboard
3.6 ghz intel i7 processor (with liquid cooling)
4x4gb 1600mhz kingston hyperX RAM
250gb SSD
Can you recommend a good graphics card for this setup? Currently i just put my old Geforce GTX 260 in it, and it runs pretty smoth anyways. But im gonna buy a new one in the upcoming months. So far ive been looking at a GTX 680 2gb, can anyone share their experiences of this card?
Thank you!

Well, if you're planning to buy in a couple of months, you might want to try and get your order placed now. But if you put less with that build, it would be rather ludicrous.
Unless you're on a custom loop for the liquid, at which point I think you can get 680 Hydro Coppers through EVGA online store. Or they had a few last time I checked. 680s are kinda hard to find right now.Last edit: 2012-04-13 00:06:46 |

Yeah, that too. I just meant don't dare go below top end on the setup.
7970, of course, having the advantage of being possible to buy. |

No you can't.
Athlon x2 4600+ is like ancient and you don't have sufficient upload.
edit: oh bw, you might be able to achieve a low quality 360p, maybe 240p stream?Last edit: 2012-04-13 01:15:01 |

A single 1920x1080 monitor - one 7970 (is overkill).
Better than that - two 7970 for the overkill.
Eyefinity on 120hz screens? Three 7970s.
If you're playing on just a single 1920x1080 60hz monitor... man, that's hilarious.Last edit: 2012-04-13 01:14:30 |

Not well enough to be worth the effort. That's a shitty dual core, so you won't encode that well, and your upload wouldn't let you stream well even if your CPU was up to a good encode. |

I play on 2 1920x1080, one of which are 120hz.
I was looking at the 7970 when i realized the 680s are all sold out. But ive allways had nvidia, and ive allways liked them. From what i've read (reviews) the 680 is slightly better than the 7970.

The liquid cooling is not custom. Its purely for CPU cooling. I pretty much only bought it because it was half price, thus making it cheaper than the zalman fan i was looking at first. So far my CPU hasn't gone above 40C ^^
Another edit: The store i buy from say they will have 680s on the 31st of may. Is it worth the wait?Last edit: 2012-04-13 01:43:11 |
