Woooo!

Returned my GTX 660 today for a different one. Worked right out of the box.

Now just got to fix the stupid fan problem in the case...

If NZXT takes forever to send a replacement, I'll just buy a third party one.

Haswell specs leaked.
They didn't even boost the stock clock speed by .1GHz? This is probably one of the most pointless upgrades so far. Nothing looks new at all, other than newer Intel HD and reduced power consumption. I doubt they did too much to architecture either.

Who the hell do you think I am?

Ahh, but the 3820 is ahead of the standard i7 by .2GHz, setting it at 3.6GHz! What can your 1155 socket do now, huh?

Because If I don't use them, they're given to someone else so I might as well

Y6HHD-N71DB-YWSO1-RF503

AROQP-SGTWL-P6AWV-CJ75O

If you wanna know what it is, it's a code for a beta on a game called firefall

it's an MMOFPS that's apparently not P2W at all

Have fun

If you do get access after you signed up, please post which code you used

Getting a 7870 GHz Edition....final verdict.

I'll be upgrading after Crysis 3 comes out.

  • 12.11.2012 7:49 PM PDT

Well... I'll be getting a 7970, so, Crysis 3 max here I come!

Do you think it's a worthy upgrade?
I have the i5 3570 and I wonder if I should wait couple of years before upgrading.

We won't be able to tell until after the Haswell series is released. All I can say is that there are people still using pre-Sandy processors and their GPU is still the main bottleneck. I have an i7 2600k and I'm doing plenty fine. I'd just save up your money for an SSD, since that would be the best upgrade.

My suggestion: 7850. I have the 570, which performs slightly worse than the 7850, and I'm perfectly happy with it.

Yeah, of course. You just got that processor this year! If you bought a Haswell, you'd also need a new MOBO, and whatever else changes with it. Keep the 3570, it's gonna last you a few years for sure.

For my GPU, I'm getting on either a 660 ti or the 660. If it takes me long enough to commit and get it, perhaps the 670 if the 700 series are out by then!

GHz =/= performance

Just hope you understand that

You sure your power supply can handle it? You can't just slap a good GPU in any old PC

I'll probably be getting the Corsair HX750. It's fully modular, silver, and pretty cheap at around $130 (lower with rebates and sales).

Got my new 1TB drive installed today. Feels nice to have all of my games installed at once.

This Christmas, I'm also getting the FX-8350 processer.

Considering upgrading to a HD 7870, from my HD 7770 too.

I'm looking for a full tower case.

My mid-tower case is nice and all, but it's starting to get cramped. So I need the upgrade. I've been looking around, and I've yet to see something I like.

If anyone can help me find a good full tower case, I'd be grateful.

I'm looking for something that has a side window, and good cooling, with plenty of room for cable management.

Budget is around $150. But I'm willing to go up to $200 if need be.

I have a 7850 1gb oc edition and it runs so smooth. A 7870 ghz edition is the cherry on top.

If that's your case budget, I'd get a Corsair. Can't go wrong there. The Obsidian series is mighty sexy.
