Izuku Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Just wanted to show you guys the PC I'm going to build before buying it. You can post any changes I can make to it and rate it if you want. Buying the tower first before the monitor and display port cord. Build: http://ca.pcpartpick...ku/saved/Bc3dnQ 1. Budget $1,500 CAD (Not including monitor) 2. Brand preferences Intel, Nvidia 3. What do you plan to do with the machine? Games at max 1080p settings, possibly 1440p as well. 4. Is there a place where you'd like to get the parts from? Places in Canada 5. What parts (if any) do you have already that you don't need upgraded? Mouse, keyboard, speakers, headset, etc. (Don't need the small stuff. Just the tower, and monitor I need) 6. Do you plan to overlock? Possibly, but not a must. 7. Do you have an OS (e.g. Windows) that you can use for this computer No. Would like to get a cheap windows 8.1 OS and upgrade to windows 10 when it comes out.

PoorStar_Nutbag Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 That will definitely do what you are needing it to. Everything looks good here. You could always upgrade to the gtx 980if you are looking to spend more. I love mine but its about another 200$ more. If you ever plan to put another 970 and run SLI you might need a bigger power supply. You could also ditch the network card and buy a bigger SSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though my internet is still fair fast being 35Mb down and 12Mb up. Edited January 28, 2015 by TricK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorStar_Nutbag Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You can buy a really long ethernet cord for that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 You can buy a really long ethernet cord for that price Cords in the hallways are unsightly, looks like a nice build tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izuku Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 I have no real way to protecting the cord from people tripping over it, etc. It'd go right across my living room and be in the middle of the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnPrePared_ Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It does not look pretty but i used about a 75ft cord.

PoorStar_Nutbag Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Too some people it is not worth it but when i pay good money for good internet it is my only option.

My internet speeds almost triple when using a wired VS wireless. SWAG Test done at speedtest.net That's strange that they do that a decent router/modem setup will not show much of a difference (at least not triple the speed). I found that when I run the wireless through the comcast modem the modem seemed the throttle my wireless speeds (probably isn't a 802.11n). Fixed it when I put it to pass through mode to my router. Now I get 126 down wired and 122 wireless. Edited January 28, 2015 by BranHorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
