Computer Showoff? Input?
In April of this year I finalized my computer by putting in the last missing part (My GFX card) and a few people I talked to while picking parts out for it said I shouldn't go with X because blah blah blah... Honestly I didn't even listen to half the words they said.

My setup ::
  • Chassis: be quiet! Silent Base 800 Black/Orange
  • PSU: EVGA Supernova G2 750W, 80+ Gold, Modular
  • Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A ATX
  • CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K 4GHz, 8MB (Devil's Canyon)
  • GPU: GK Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming G1 4GB
  • RAM: HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) CL10 1866Mhz XMP
  • HDD: Toshiba 1TB 7200rpm 32MB
  • SSD: OCZ Arc 100 240GB
  • OS: Windows 10


Everything is almost factory setting, the bios has been tweaked a little bit for fan control.

Side-note: Some people I know complained about me getting the i7 4790 and not overclocking it...
"I is pansexual furry and proud."

Kek.
Apart from the GFX card being 3,5gb and not 4gb as they say, all is good! congratz!

that's not true the last 0.5gb is just slower than the other part but it is still 4gb

Oh, ok , I read this on some website, so I actually am not sure.
I'll trust you on this one tbh
You may have problems with power. 750 watts is fairly low for what you have.

Your GPU is totally fine, so don't worry about that.

Good thing he doesn't have something like a 290x or he'd kill his powersupply in less than a month haha
Everyone posting computer stuff in general, there is a computer build section.
If you can spend the extra money, get a 1000W+ psu, and better ram like 2133/2400 mhz

Just nitpicking stuff

Why would you ever need 1000W lol. That's enough for three 970's in SLI.

So you never have to worry about power issues, unless something fucks up

750w is actually plenty for the build I'm running right now, If I ever wanted to shove in a second GFX card in the future I'll buy a new PSU with it. But as it stands right now it's more then enough to handle what I'm running.

I was there at first and the assumption I made by reading the description about the sub is that it's mostly for new builds?

Hehe I know what you mean, I was looking at a set of 2133 at first but after all prices in sweden went up I had to swap those for the 1600mhz ones I have right now.

I would've gone with 16gb or 32gb of 2133mhz and a 1000w PSU along with a 980 if all prices hadn't gone up while I was purchasing my parts...

Like, I'd buy my Motherboard and next week the price of everything went up a few % on some pieces, so I'd buy those pieces and the other pieces I was missing went up by a few % as well... So I was kind of forced to downgrade my computer Slightly... But honestly, I have yet to see an issue with my GFX card. I don't see why people whine about it having 0.5gb of slow memory and 3.5gb of fast memory... No games I have played have yet to push into 3gb, Highest I've pushed it so far is 2.7-2.8 and that was with extreme tweaking to try to push it as far as it possibly could on any one game.
Am wanting to upgrade to x2 780ti sli, but I need to find a place where i can drop it too.

Got my ass blacklisted on amazon

Let me guess... You tried to exploit them to get your stuff for free? or at least tried getting same product twice without paying extra?

That's the only way I could see you getting blacklisted unless you hijacked their transport vehicles XD
