I guess I never showed my computer, did I? :?

Well then, time to fix that. I cut off the front of most of these pictures, but the only thing that's there are the drive
cages and optical drives anyway...

^It's actually just a re-branded Corsair H60 Cooler

********************

Specs:

Corsair 650D

Red LEDs

ASUS Maximus VI Extreme

ORIGIN FROSTBYTE 120 (Actually a Corsair H60)

Intel Core i7 4770 K Quad-Core

1050 Watt Corsair HX1050

Dual 2GB NVIDIA GTX 770

16GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz

Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe

---------------------

Really happy with it. Instead of my old PC which would have to catch up to games, now the games have to catch up to me, lol. :lol:
Sadly my camera doesn't do the Red lighting justice. It just looks awesome in the dark.

THAT is a sexy rig.

By compatable, I mean will one be faster/slower or something? Everyone always talks about the CPU and GPU, and I'm a bit lost.

I have:

A haswell 4770 processor, at 3.4Ghz (Yes, I know, not the k, but I'm not planning on overclocking...)

A 2GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 770

^-- Are they playing nice together? I haven't encountered any issues yet, but hey, I'm paranoid....

Hey guys,

I'm looking for computer games that don't need an internet connection to play, since my internet at my house is absolutely horrid.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions for games that don't need online? It's really hard to find ones that don't have some sort of "Always online" restriction...

Flubbbs

skyrim.. you would probally just need to be online for a few mins to patch it up and stuff

Hey guys, I was wondering what it takes to record gameplay on your PC? I've seen some laptops with "capture cards", do I need anything like this for a Desktop to record gameplay?

Also, on a slight tangent here, I really want to attempt to water cool my Desktop I've been building. If I buy a closed Liquid Cooled system, is that a safer approach than building my own loops and such? I'm terrified that these things are going to spring a leak or something on me... if anyone has bought a closed, maintanence free Liquid Cooling setup, how well has it fared for you?

[QUOTE="horgen123"] Also don't blow 3K right away on a computer, 1000-1200 now or so and then spend the rest on upgrading over the years. mastershake575

You can get a nice set of parts ($130 powersupply, nice case, 3570K with a very nice motherboard, 8gigs ram, dvd drive/harddrive, copy of windows, GTX 770 SC) along with labor cost ($150-200 to pay someone to put it together) and still only spend half your budget ($1500).

You can then save the $1500 for future upgrades (for example if you want more GPU power in a year, you can buy another 770 or sell your 770 and pay a couple hundred out of pocket for a highend 800 series GPU).

[QUOTE="Hellfire-1"]Well then, assuming I can find all of these on my own, would the following be a good gaming PC? ----> Internal LED lighting (Not sure if I can do this myself or not?) High-Performance Ultra Silent Fans ASUS Maximus VI Extreme FROSTBYTE 120 Sealed Liquid Cooling Systems Intel Core i7 4770K Quad-Core, 8MB Cache 1050 Watt Corsair HX1050 (Really not sure how much power I need, so I aimed high) 3GB EVGA GTX 660 Ti+ (x2) <--I'm assuming two of these can run together, correct? 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1866Mhz (2x8GB) Genuine MS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit Edition 1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s, 7200RPM, 32MB Cache 12X Blu-ray Reader and DVD Combo 40-in-1 Media Card Reader Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D PCIe D-Link Wireless DWA-566 PCI Express Desktop Adapter Case: Corsair 650D (Anyone have any opinions on this case? It looks cool, and I love the side window, but does it vent heat well?) (I know I still need a mouse and keyboard and moniter) I'm really iffy on the graphics cards, I don't have enough money for Dual cards of anything else higher up sadly... Is having 1 powerful card better than dual mid power cards? For ex: My dual cards vs 1 GTX 770? My friends swears by Corsair btw, which is why so much of my stuff seems to be Corsair : / kraken2109

I will run through your ideas in order:

• Lighting is do-able, either LED fans, individual LEDs or LED strips
• Fans you can pick what you want
• Motherboard and CPU are fine, but you'd probably be fine with the i5-4670k
• That power supply is more than you need, a good 850w will be fine even for a dual card setup
• Personally I would choose a GTX 770 instead of two cards, you can then add a second later (770 is the best value high end card atm)
• Ram is fine, but you might want low profile depending on CPU cooler
• Windows you can buy
• Hard drive is fine, you have plenty of choice for good 1TB HDDs
• You probably don't need a blu-ray reader, but that's up to you of course
• Sound card is up to you again
• You can use a wireless adapter, but for competitive gaming wired is much better
• I like the 650d, but I hear stock cooling isn't amazing, maybe adding more/better fans would help

Corsair are great.
