shite, my nh-d14 is heavier and bigger than that one. I don't have any envy of the closed loop coolers.

Yeah, that was my first thought. I'd be scared to let my tower stand upright with that thing.

i always said if i got something that was TDI, it better be AWD. Hmm, i will have to compare it to an Impreza WRX to see if it's worth the buy.

Well they are nice cars, Audi and VWs.

EDT: AWD would kill my the MPG, no? I've always owned trucks/suvs but purchased a TDI for commute back and forth to work.

yeah it would, but its so much fun. Especially when it TDI, taking the Dalrymple turn off of I-10 lol

back to actual computers though lol

If i was to give myself a $2000 budget for a computer, and that does not include the case or burner, would i be able to build a "high caliber" computer?
I am going to start buying pieces over a long span to build one. So i just want to give myself a clue what i am looking at, price wise.

Gaming PC?

Two grand can build a very solid setup. Depends on the graphics card(s).

I wouldn't recommend doing that. I would wait until you have all of the funds to start buying. PC tech changes quickly, so by the time you have a finished build some of the parts may be a gen behind

Define high-caliber. What do you plan to use it for, and what resolution/refresh rate is the monitor you plan to use? $2,000 may be overspending.

Don't do that, unless by "long span" you mean a month or two max, just to hope for deals here and there.

well i am looking for a high refresh rate and i would like to buy a 1440 monitor. It will be used for gaming and photo/video purposes. I will take yalls advice on waiting though.

I just want one amazing PC. I love mine right now, even thought i didnt spend that much on it.

Well I have a modded Crossover but lock my frames @ 75-80 depending on the genre.

IPS panels look terrible and have extreme motion blur with anything over 90+ FPS. I suggest just buying yourself a Korean right now or waiting for a 1440/120/G-Sync monitor in the next few weeks.

Have you seen the 28" ASUS 2160/144/G-Sync monitors? I cant wait to pick up 2. Hopefully G-Sync will fix the blurring that IPS panels have at extreme refresh rates.

Would any of you purchase the ASUS MARS 760 for $650?

IDK why I want to waste my money to just try the thing, but I do. My question is, what is the point? At that price Id rather have a 290/290X/780/780Ti

It's essentially SLI 760s for about the same price you'd pay for SLI 770s? Great deal.

I saw that the other day. It's almost as ridiculous as this. Asus Ares II. Dual 7970 chips. $1500
