Have an upvote, some people don't know and that's fine. So I'll explain.

Gigabyte 980 Ti = GPU(grapics card), it handles the graphics of the game, OP was asking how much vram or memory his graphics card needs.

i7 6700k # 4.0ghz CPU(Central Processing Unit) It does what it sounds like, processes all computations for your computer other than gpu. The 4.6ghz means he overclocked it making it go faster.

With that being said, the CPU he used is the latest generation CPU, not necessarily the most expensive or fastest, but pretty close. His GPU is a tier below the best you can get in terms of gaming GPU's for now(close to every year something better and faster gets released). So in short, he's got close to the best you can get for gaming and in all probably cost close to or over $2000. It's what we call and Enthusiast build, it's better then probably 80%(I'm guessing) of what other PC gamers are using.

He mentions he is getting an average of 30FPS which means 30 frames per second. This is what most gamers consider the bare minimum of frames to play games enjoyably without stutter or the picture freezing. Ideally gamers prefer 60FPS or higher, but as this game(with his mod and ULTRA settings) demands quite a bit out of the hardware(GPU, CPU ect) it is unable to achieve that and plays at a playable 30Fps.

TL;DR: He's got close to the best hardware you can get.

my computer is currently dying (i think) but it's ok i was planning on updating the cup and stuff but if anyone has some advice i'd appreciate it, currently going to go from a phenom II to an i7 and upgrading my tiny ssd to a 500gb because i'm pretty sure half of my issues are coming from low disk space.

but yeah advice and stuff is welcome as i struggle to find stuff to delete from my computer ;=;

u/emilyst · 4 pointsr/PleX

I've never seen one of these threads, so my build is not new, but I'm game to join in.

Last year, I built this NAS that serves as my Plex machine: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/drop.emily.st/DSC02173.jpg

I built it from

a barebones Shuttle SZ170R8 system,
added an Intel i7 6700K processor,
a 32 GB of 2133 MHz CL14 DIMM DDR4 RAM,
a Samsung 850 EVO (500GB) M.2 SATA III SSD, and
two WD Red 8TB drives.

I can't remember how much it all ran at the time, but it was something a little over a thousand. I installed CentOS on it, and the hard disk drives are using a ZFS filesystem.

I did bit of digging and it seems that you're right, even though Lightroom is capable of using multiple cores, it seems that it's not quite optimized properly.
I also have to do video editing, but not as much as stills.

This i7-6700 (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Unlocked-Skylake-Processor-BX80662I76700K/dp/B012M8LXQW) looks like the best option at the moment. An overclocking mobo seems appealing as well, but I would need to upgrade my cooling system as well.

u/Craycoala · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I'm a tad confused, is this a new system build or do you already have the CPU and motherboard? If you already have the CPU/motherboard definitely don't upgrade to Skylake, just get a 4790k if you're looking for an upgrade.

If the above is true and you already have the CPU/mobo disregard this. Now, if you are doing a new build I would really recommend getting a Skylake CPU. While Haswell is still a very powerful and viable generation, there are no more upgrades beyond the 4790k so it will go obsolete faster than Skylake, as Kaby Lake and Cannon Lake are yet to be released for the Skylake generation. As for Haswell outperforming their Skylake counterparts, the i5-6600k and the i5-4690k perform basically the same with the 6600k being slightly better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs2RKt0MS9w). They also cost pretty much the same (6600K: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012M8M7TY/?tag=pcpapi-20 and the 4690k: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-BX80646I54690K/dp/B00KPRWB9G/).

For the i7-4790k and the i7-6700k, again they perform more or less the same with the 6700k being slightly better (https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Haswell-vs-Skylake-S-i7-4790K-vs-i7-6700K-641/). As for cost, again they cost about the same (4790k: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-4790K-Processor-Cache-BX80646I74790K/dp/B00KPRWAX8 and the 6700k: https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Unlocked-Skylake-Processor-BX80662I76700K/dp/B012M8LXQW). Since the release of Skylake, 1151 motherboards and DDR4 RAM have come down in price and more or less equal in price when compared to 1150 motherboard and DDR3 RAM.

u/Mr_Plakton · 2 pointsr/Competitiveoverwatch

Looks alright. I wouldn't reccomend Ryzen chips. I would probably get something more like an i7 6700k or the 6700 (which is around $20 cheaper if you can't justify the price) for gaming. If you end up choosing an Intel CPU you'll have to choose a different Mobo as well but there are lots of good ones.

I'd reccomend getting an entry level 144Hz Screen. If you can stretch to something like this I would seriously reccomend it, though it's not going to hurt you if you don't. I think it was Jake from LG Evil that made T500 early in the game on a Mac Book running OW in wine.

I personally don't like any gaming Headsets other than the HyperX Clouds. There is a huge quality difference between them and any other "gaming" headsets I have used.

As far as mice and keyboards, I would probably just buy a nice cheap Keyboard to begin with because there are no benefits really to having a good keyboard if you're on a budget. A mouse is kinda personal, I use a Steel Series Rival 100 but am a palm style user and am completely arm aim. It's a good cheap mouse but you may want something else if your grip style is different. My brother plays claw and doesn't mind it though.

Parts and gear you should prioritise for Overwatch are: Good GPU. 6GB 1060s are plenty for overwatch unless you want to be running the game at consistently over 240FPS (here's Taimou's settings btw. These will help with you configuring your settings for Overwatch). A fast CPU (Overwatch can be very CPU dependant). SSDs are kinda nice and fairly cheap. If you have a SSD btw you're at a direct benefit to most other players because you load in matches faster and can therefore instalock first, if that's your thing. :P Monitors are the most important peripheral by far in my opinion, followed closely by mice. If you're not getting a 144Hz screen now, you'll want one eventually (you won't need one but you'll want one). The only other peripheral that is important for Overwatch specifically is a mouse. This is one of those what suits your style things and there's no real correct answer but for First Person Shooters you usually want a nice light fast mouse. Ideally with 2 buttons on the side of the mouse for binding melee and voice. Just don't get a Razer and you'll be fine.

I'd probably ask on /r/buildapc as well because they'll probably give you better advice than this sub will. Best of luck dude with your transition to PC. Hope this helps.

Edit: oh and Mousepad! In the beginning I'd reccomend a nice control style mouse pad for getting used to using a mouse for aiming. I can't reccomend you any though because I have always used the mats that come in WoW TCG boxes since a family member has heaps of them and I've never used any other control style mats. The bigger the better.

u/clupean · 2 pointsr/buildapc

For £420, you can buy an i7-4790K and another Sabertooth.

edit: for £500, an i7-6700K with its Sabertooth Z170 version. But you'll also need DDR4 RAM.

u/illithidbane · 2 pointsr/intel

You can often get them on Amazon for $420. Just keep refreshing the page every few hours. When they come back for $420, they don't last long, but they return again soon.

Combine that with a Chase Freedom Visa card if you have one for 10% cash back. Even after taxes, it got me a chip for about $400. Not MRSP, but far better than other vendors (since I am nowhere near a Microcenter). I even got it delivered in under a week (and this was earlier this month, so it's still relevant).

u/imaBEES · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

This is Canadian pricing, not USD. Comparing currency value, buying it for $309 USD would be equivalent to someone in Canada buying it for $404.56 CAD. Amazon Canada lists a 6700k for $409.99 CAD, so $369.99 CAD is a good deal for this CPU in Canada

EDIT: This is also listed on Newegg Canada for $448.99 CAD.

u/Marshbe · 2 pointsr/buildapc

For the prcoessor do you think I should just stick with Skylake then? this version would work with the build just fine.

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Unlocked-Skylake-Processor-BX80662I76700K/dp/B012M8LXQW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486512480&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr1&amp;keywords=I7+7000k+cpu

I'll be swapping to the Cryorig H7 it looks solid and doesn't look to have any of the mounting issues or difficulties of the Hyper 212 evo.

I'm going to stick with the 850 evo m.2. Its about the same price as other SSDs I could get.

I appreciate the suggestions. Also Would you swap motherboards or just stick with Skylake? I feel like I wouldn't notice the differences in speed with what I'll be using it for.

u/goat-people · 1 pointr/buildapc

Dude do the fucking research, it's right here in front of you. No one has paid $399 for an i7 6700k since like a month after it came out. The article is comparing inflated MSRP prices to Microcenter sale prices. It's clickbait bro. Yes $250 is a crazy good deal but this is about clearing inventory, not Ryzen shitting on Intel before it's even released.

u/arlenreyb · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Intel isn't the one sending Amazon the processors.

Here, see for yourself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B012M8LXQW/ref=olp_f_new?ie=UTF8&amp;f_new=true&amp;f_primeEligible=true

These are all the small businesses selling the Intel 6700k on Amazon, filtered to show only Amazon Prime shipping offers, and only "new" offers.

You see over on the right where it says "seller information?" That's the name of the company you're giving your business to. It's not Intel, it's a smaller, most likely individual-owned computer store that's selling through Amazon to make up for the fact that brick-and-mortar stores are dying out.

If you un-filter it, there's 80+ businesses offering this item on Amazon.

u/ArchiMarK · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

No idea what's going on, but it's indeed probably a matter of high demand/low supply. Looking at the price history there only was a very short period anyway of it hitting $350 but ever since mid November prices seem to have jolted up to only slowly decline over time...

u/Bossasin · 1 pointr/playrust

u/alexon13579 · 1 pointr/nvidia

Hmm. What's your motherboard by the way? If it would be possible to put a I7-6700k then that's the best choice hands down for 360 dollars.....

u/digitalRistorante · 1 pointr/buildapc

Here's what I would do: MSI Krait edition motherboard + Corsair Dominator Platinum Series RAM sticks. It is a better overclocking mobo and you get the style points for a black/white build. Also, the RAM is faster so you're a little bit more futureproofed. The Cryorig H7 is replacing the 212 in terms of the go-to air cooler, otherwise the Corsair water cooling kit is a great option as well (also fits color scheme). I'm personally recommending 240GB since I've filled up my 120GB with games and programs twice now before I had to do some cleaning. I also like this case better, plus you can remove drive bays to make room for larger GPUs, if you are still undecided about which one you want. I wouldn't worry about M.2, I got that SSD and never ended up using it. If you do end up building this, please do take pics :)

u/JohnnyRockets911 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Yes of course. However, look at the price of a 6700k: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012M8LXQW I think you might be shocked. (Spoiler alert: $520!!!!! Wtf...)
All 3 of those (6600k, 6700k, and 5820k) are quite expensive, especially considering their power differential vs 4690k and 4790k (in terms of power per dollar I mean). I don't live near a microcenter unfortunately. I do have a GTX 970 which I purchased this past summer.

How worthwhile is DDR4, purely in terms of practical FPS increases?
Actually, I hadn't considered a Skylake i3. That may not be a bad idea. However, wouldn't gaming performance decrease because only 2 cores? (I currently have a 4-core Phenom X4 955 slightly overclocked).
Are there any Skylake i3's that overclock?

$80 difference (Link1 and Link2). About standard for a generational difference in CPU. Also, DDR4 is nearly identical in price to DDR3 but is much faster. It is an academic difference between the two, but i feel that if you have the extra 80 dollars the skylake is a good choice for the new z170 chipset features.

u/ByronNotBryon · 1 pointr/buildapc

Would this CPU (link) be better paired with two 980 ti's and an 850PW Supply (link)?

u/Pm_Me_Dumb_Quotes · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

I'm playing a game named Arma 3 and basically it runs alot on CPU and mostly on single CPUS (it doesn't spread the load so the stronger 1 cpu unit is the more FPS you'll get)
I'm looking to get a good CPU, range of up to 500$.
So far i found this which looks pretty good but it doesn't fit my motherboard which i am willing to replace for this.

I'm trying to save up for this processor. I stream on Twitch and should have gone with this one initially, but didn't. I might just buy it at PAX East, which I already have to save up for anyway, since newegg gives out pretty great deals at PAX. But, until then, save I shall!

I love the idea of this contest. It's really neat to see what expensive item everyone wishes for.

I honestly do think at this point my best bet would be the upgrade my processor and/or graphics card. I've talked to some people and this processor would help me out a lot I'm guessing. Might even upgrade to the 6 GB one even. Could also get my computer checked out to see if everything is ok. Thoughts?

u/TitaniumDragon · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Newegg has the 6700k for $369.99 USD normally. That's its normal price.

Right now it is on sale on Newegg for $60 off, or $309 USD.

Notably, that's the same price it is on Amazon by default.

That's about what I paid for it when I built my new rig. I may have actually paid less than that.

This has nothing to do with Ryzen. It is all about tricking you into thinking you're getting a good deal.

u/osfrid · 1 pointr/buildapc

> IPC

Good point, don't fall into the Ghz myth. Regarding the recent reviews about AMD R*, they are 12% more efficient in IPC than Kaby Lake.

It still leads me to consider Kaby Lake (or Skylake) chip because when it comes to compare single thread performances, Ryzen CPU's score has to be scaled up (by deleting Intel's cache).

Thus, despite all rumours, Ryzen is not that cheap... When you don't include a ridiculously overpriced CPU like the i7 6900K which is 10% better than a i7 7700K and 700$ more:

i7 7700K: 339$ (2nd. best) (-60$)
R7 1700: 399$ (3rd. best)
i7 6700K: 309$ (9th. best) (-90$)

u/GrisTooki · 1 pointr/JapanTravel

You still seem to be missing the point. I'm not saying that Japan is cheap, I'm saying that it could be cheaper than some places.

And you've given one example, but you can easily find product that demonstrate a very different pattern:

309.99 in the US (not including local sales tax, which must be computed based on where you live at the time of checkout)

$382.65 (£307.99) in the UK

$358.93 (￥ 40,470) in Japan

u/techtimewithchris · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

u/PiddlyPop · 1 pointr/Minecraft

Sorry for the late response!

The idea behind my build was to aim for DDR4, so I had to start from scratch and get a DDR4 Mobo.

MSI Z170A-Gaming M7 Motherboard

Intel Core i7 6700K

NZXT Kraken X61 280mm AIO Liquid CPU Cooler

MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB

Alongside, the already existing GTX 770 OC, which has now become kind of useless. Maybe I'll find a new purpose for it.

Corsair Vengeance LPX CMK16GX4M2A2133C13R 16GB (2x8GB) Which, I'll upgrade soon for another 16GB.

Before, even though I had a decent GPU, I was bottlenecked heavily by my cpu. So it was almost entirely useless. Sure could run most games on high, but things like modding minecraft seemed to kill it.

Left out the HDD's and SSD's, they're not really vital for the build.

The PSU I'm using is a Corsair HX1000i 80 Plus Platinum 1000W

I bought all of my gear from PCCaseGear, as I'm from Australia.

Hope this helps in any future builds!

LGA 1150, 1151, 2011-v3. I prefer Intel over AMD for many reasons so i'll specifically recommend those. So an i5-4670 or i5-6500. Both will work well. If you are looking for something more powerful go for an i7-6700k or an i7-5820k

u/Aozi · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

He said he used the PcGamer High end build guide with some changes. He swapped the 1080 to a 1070, the SSD's to a 1TB SSD, he changed the case to a MasterCase Maker 5 Mid-Tower and ordered everything form Amazon

So overall I'm guessing this is his build;

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700K - $350
GPU: GeForce GTX 1070 - $450
Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero - $215
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 - $145
SSD: 1TB Samsung 850 Evo 2.5-inch SATA - $317
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 240mm AIO - $97
Optical: LG UH12NS30 - $52
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2 80 Plus GOLD - $141
Case: MasterCase Maker 5 Mid-Tower Case - $178

Coming to a grand total of 1945$ add shipping to that and you're looking at pretty close to 2 grand.

This build is fucking retarded though.

First of all, you can actually buy a a goddamn prebuilt with almost the same specs for about 400$ cheaper. That HP is just the first one I found, there are dozens of other prebuilts ranging from about 400-100$ cheaper with no real performance loss.

Yeah it's a prebuilt and has bloatware and all that shit, but in terms of performance it's actually pretty much equal to the authors build.

Second, you could just go for a more reasonable part list.

Swap the 6700k to an i5 6500 with the stock cooler and you'll cut 250$ from the price.

Even an i5-6600k with a hyper 212 evo would cost you about 260$, saving almost 200$

Swap the ridiculous motherboard to something decent for about 100-150$ and you're saving another 100$ right there.

32 gigs of RAM is overkill, you could easily go for 16GB DDR4 2400, and save another 70$

Dump the optical drive, who the hell watches BD movies on a PC anyways? If you really need a DVD drive they're like 20$

Swap the ridiculously high end case to something like Fractal Design R5 and save another 50$. R5 is still an excellent and fairly high end case, you could easily go for a 50-80$ mid-tower and save 100$.

I would also swap the 1TB SSD to a 256gb SSD and a 2TB mechanical drive which would be about 160-200$ saving him another 100$. but I can at least understand that someone wants the simplicity of just having a single drive.

With a few simple changes he could save about 450-650$ without losing any performance whatsoever in gaming, and that's without hunting for cheaper prices from somewhere that's not Amazon.

He said he paid about 100$ extra to buy everything from Amazon, so with an updated parts list and using PCpartpicker the price drops down to 1171$ so about 770$ cheaper than the authors build and with no real performance loss.

u/PsychoTea · 1 pointr/hackintosh

Got any ideas for budget? Also, what software will you be using and what bitrate, resolution and general quality settings are you planning on encoding at? Is it also a necessity for 32GB of RAM? You would probably be able to save a good chunk of money to put towards other parts if you went with 16 or perhaps 24.

---

I'm not sure on the display outputs of the GTX 480, however running 3 monitors off of that and one off your onboard graphics chip you should be good to go (aslong as the connections aren't VGA, as corpnewt mentioned; it's quite hit-and-miss). For onboard graphics I'd recommend a motherboard with a HD530 chip, they're pretty well supported and off the top of my head require 2 bootflags to get working.

---

In terms of motherboards it's not particularly my forte, so I may be wrong on some of these things. I think it's generally accepted that Gigabyte motherboards are the best for hackintoshing and are all round great boards, so I'd definitely recommend one. As I said you'd probably want a board with a HD530 chip, or another chip with similar support. Assuming you want 32 gig of RAM you're gonna need support for that, and if you go for 16 for now you still might want to go for a board that supports 32 incase you decide to upgrade in the future or if 16 is not enough. I'd also recommend the 115x chipset as imo is going to give you the most choices on CPU with the best compatibility. After some talks with /u/CorpNewt he suggested this Gigabyte board. It's got enough PCI-E slots, supported onboard graphics (HD530), support for 64gb of RAM, ThunderBolt and good hackintosh support which should check all the boxes.

---

CPU? 6700k; 4 cores, 8 threads, 4.0Ghz clock speed, it's overclockability gives you some headroom if you ever need a bump in performance, the most powerful CPU you can get on Skylake currently (yes the enthusiast CPU's are round the corner but they are silly money and this should be plenty of power), great longevity, and most of all have good OSX support.

---

The CPU can be found here. You're gonna want a cooler such as a Hyper 212 Evo or a Corsair H55 AIO (I can vouch for this cooler, have one myself and it's great). If you plan on overclocking or want to just in case, you should probably look at something a bit beefier like a Corsair H100i AIO.

The mobo can be found here.

Feel free to fire away with any questions you have.

Unreliable: sorry if I was unclear. I was using US prices where Amazon sells the i7 3770K for $459. It sells the i7 6770K for $342. As usual, Amazon in the UK, like in the US, is cheaper with the 6700K 299 GBP – about US$379. I don't know about tax and VAT and stuff.
