PC Build Thread

Not really in my opinion. It does if you’re rendering a lot, but in most cases, you’d have a 2011 socket i7 instead of the 1151.

It has to do with max supported speed probably, either with the motherboard or CPU, although I think that motherboard supports up to like 3000+

And I love my case, but ever since I got into PC’s years ago, I never was into the “trend”, just like how RGB is the new trend, I still like my simple black/white cases.

My s340 is blue and matte black to match my motherboard and such.

This is my build. I build it a few weeks ago. You guys are probably familiar with the ‘AMD Athlon X4 860k/GTX 750 ti 2GB’ combo, I chose the Superclocked version of the GTX 750 ti because it has better shader quality.

TF2, highest settings, 8X MSAA: 100-200-300 FPS (Depends on the map)
CS:GO, highest settings, 8X MSAA: 160-200-240 FPS
Borderlands, highest settings, No MSAA option: 30-46-62 FPS (It doesn’t go higher than the 62/60 FPS lock)
Software Inc, highest settings, all shaders to the max, FXAA on: 50-60-61 FPS
XCOM: Enemy Unknown, highest settings: 60-103-146 FPS
Minecraft Tekkit, draw distance 13: 40-130-220 FPS
Minecraft, draw distance 13: 60-180-300 FPS (It reaches 1100 FPS on lowest settings XD)

I was like ‘Holy shait’ when I saw this performance, but maybe other people with the same specs get lower fps because they have Skype installed and didn’t turn of some of their Computer Services and startup applications.

This is why I got a console.

#7

Why did you got a console rather than building a custom PC?

I traded my PS4 for more computer parts and turned that around and made $600 lol.

  1. Can’t afford it, especially when the AUD/USD is bad.

  2. I prefer console controls.

  3. Friends have consoles.

  4. Consoles are a lot more, how should I say this, simplistic and convenient.

  5. I also don’t have a desk.

  1. That’s a good point, so I’d look at used hardware. That’s how I built a 1440p/4k beast for the price of a ps4/xbone.
  2. Can use a controller on PC :stuck_out_tongue:
  3. Good point, one reason I plan on getting a xbox when Forza Horzion 3 comes out, to play with my friends on xbox.
  4. Not exactly true, you can easily get a simple computer
  5. Don’t need a desk :stuck_out_tongue: Get a tiny case the size of a console and put it where your console is.

I wonder, In CPUs, is Intel better than AMD CPUs or is AMD CPUs better than Intel? And in GPUs, is Nvidia better than AMD, or is AMD GPUs better than Nvidia? Because about 25/100 gaming PCs are Intel and Nvidia based, and I want to know which is better and which is not. This might be and obvious question though…

#17

Intel and nVidia are better than AMD

#18

Intel is miles ahead of AMD right now, not because AMD sucks, but because their newest chips are literally 3 years older than Intel’s.

Now with AMD vs nVidia, it really comes down to a tie. nVidia has let AMD tie them and somewhat get beat because they can’t seem to do good drivers anymore. And in DX12, AMD really takes the lead in performance.

Speaking of custom PC’s, does anyone here play games such as Rust, and Unturned? If so maybe we could all play.

I play games, pretty obvious. But I don’t want to play with you. Nothing about me being lazy or anything, I just don’t wanna play.
