At less go quad, so the i5 is a HUGE plus and also consider the Kingston V300 128GB SSD @ $59.99 and upgrading to a 2x8GB kit. Maybe try out the 2x4GB kit and if you start to bottleneck, you kno the issue.

I bumped it up to an i5 quad core 3.2GHZ, a single 8GB ram, and the Kingston v300 128GB SSD.
$842 currently.

With the ram, I figure if 8GB isn't enough I can easily just drop another one in.

Overall total is looking at around $1500.

Alright, i've done research and the only stuff I can find is stuff that would only put more adware on my PC. Basically, anytime I go to Yahoo Fantasy or Fanduel sites I constantly get pop ups from Websearch:



It's absolutely annoying and ABP doesn't stop it from showing up. I checked the registry and I couldn't locate it, so I am not sure where it is buried within my system. Does anyone have any advice on how to remove this pain in the arse pop up adware?

Anyone getting GTAV on PC? I'm looking to see who will be available for online, assuming it works.

Not I, I thought it was a pretty good game but nothing great, no desire to play it again at all.

I did start a new Far Cry 3 playthrough, on PC this time of course, and am enjoying it a lot. Ready for 4.

They are all RAW files, remember I shoot a Canon 6D.

Edt: Yesterday was the only time, that I noticed, RAM use exceeding 6GB. I compress with the 4930K then throw on the HomeServer. Could you imagine the HS's little i3 4330 2C/4T L3 4MB compressing those files.. Might take a few.

It's not a day 1 for me but I'm thinking a steam sale purchase would be good. Over time the mod community will make that game replayable.

Malwarebytes?

You only use as much as you need and only need as much as you use. Monitor usage and see if it's actually an issue. The only time I exceed 8GB is when I am on a research binge and have multiple browser windows open, each with 30+ open tabs.

Probably. But if it's a pile of unoptimized shite, I will just pirate and play offline.

This is something to worry about after GTAIV. However, without GFWL that may be the difference

No tease here

I will get you some pics later but there are a few binders full, some still new in the boxes, and several of those card deck boxes full.

There's also a lifetime supply of Yu-Gi-Oh cards.

I really will get you this stuff shipped out one day nest week. No joke though at this point it's a lot to ship out.

If that's the case, what's the reasoning behind the GPU choice?

Honestly because I saw it in one of your builds you gave another guy, it seemed reasonable, and I thought it would help with compressing the videos for youtube.

Could totally be off base, hence why I was asking. I just want something so I can make BF4 videos of my gameplay. I used to have one but lost my capture card and my PC is over 10 years old and sees little use. Just opening Photoshop takes ages.

Eta:
Even though I started out playing Battlefield on PC with Vietnam I am nowhere near as good with a KB/M as I am with a controller. But that is my personal choice.

That's why I am here asking. I have a 900$ out the door budget. Plan on using my TV for the monitor. The other $600 will be for the XB1 and BF4
