Two components in, sitting at $800. WTF? I could buy two consoles for that.

You should start by not building a Mac

Dev, you carry the console flag well.

I'm not. GFX card and processor. Can you even dream of accessing those in a Mac?

I say you should just stop building and buy 2 consoles. Put them in SLI, and they'll still be less powerful than my computer I built in 1999.

You are not very welcoming to a future member of the Master Race.

either you have 800 tied up in a Mobo and CPU
to which, lol
or, you have 800 tied up in a mobo OR cpu, and graphics card
which is just silly.

well if you didnt need top of the line shite you could save yourself a lot of money.

I'm eventually going to have to upgrade it anyway. What's the point of not putting something in that you will end up putting in six months down the road? Sounds more like a waste of money to do it that way.

I thoguht you were doing a budget build. Color me skeptical but hopeful.
Posted on 2/6/13 at 12:24 pm to Devious
right
Posted on 2/6/13 at 12:26 pm to stout
Changed my mind after I realized it would need nearly immediate upgrading.
Posted on 2/6/13 at 12:28 pm to Devious
You already ordered those or are looking at them? Which model of the 680?
Posted on 2/6/13 at 12:28 pm to stout
apparently running the latest games at max resolution with highest quality textures at over 60 fps across dual monitors, all while recording, streaming, and multitasking with 10 apps processing, and 6 browser windows w/ flash open in the background, is a requirement.
