I think the rest of my components are fine. I might get the SeaSonic M12II which is of the same price as my Xigmatek 700W PSU. Easier for me to rewire everything because it's modular.

I've stopped using the computer, on my laptop now.

What happened?
Your PSU committed suicide?

Power surge due to improper electrical work at a nearby house. Other stuff in my house also failed. You can find the post in the previous pages.

As long as your mobo has a x16 lane slot and two spare 6-pins, you can buy whatever.

Are there other options? Is this the best for that price? Don't get me wrong, I trust your knowledge, but I'm just curious to know some more choices :)


The 7850 is the same pricepoint, but lacks PhysX, adaptive vSynch, and nVidia's special AA options like CSAA, which I think you said you wanted. This one also comes with a free game.

Comparison.

7850.

BTW standing on my concrete basement floor with only underwear on would be a good ground right?

I made my user name back when I was little. I go by RandomJPG now. Please don't reference my username.

I know it's generally a bad idea to get your parts one by one but I am able to get a Intel i7 3770k (which is usually $330) for about $105 if I buy before January 3rd. Is it worth it for me to buy it now even though I won't be building my computer until March or April-ish?

That's not being grounded. You just need to touch the metal case often as you're working, or go even simpler and get an anti-static strap for like 5$.

I think the main reason behind not buying one-by-one is that prices drop. I doubt the i7 3770k will drop to 105$ by march.

Definitely. CPUs are almost never DOA, so you won't have to worry about having a problem with it.

Alright I'll do it then. Hopefully Intel verifies my employment at Best Buy before the sale ends.

But but the concrete touches the ground! Bah whatever I will still touch the case.

But it do.

Will a 660 max out games in 720p at 50+fps? If not, what about a 670?

  • 12.21.2012 3:47 PM PDT

It'll get 80-90+ FPS at 720p.

Finally! I finally got my replacement fan controller from NZXT for my Phantom 410.

I was pissed at how they never notified me that they shipped it, like they said they would.

That was until, I saw that they gave me a free 140mm fan for the case.

The controller worked so I was happy. Even if it was a -blam!- to wire.
