Talk to Wrathek about windows keys, he can hook you up.

 

also look into this cooler for your CPU

well sry for having a life, that doesn't involve PC's and everything, i don't read everything you know, i was just referring to what you said earlier this month ^^

[PotshotPolka]

the 460 definitely beats the 5770 but 5770 will probably last longer by not over heating and exploding

 

lol, ive always wanted to have a usb powered easy bake, i guess i can just use the GTX 460

 

 

 

+ The version of the GTX 460 he is purchasing has an excellent heat sink and will likely have better temperatures than what we see here. Your prejudice against Nvidia cards is shown by your inability to actually READ benchmark reviews. The 460 isn't even in the same CLASS as the 5770, it's more accurate to pair it with the 5830/5850. This is why even though you have some advanced knowledge in PCs your opinions are disregarded, you compromise your integrity with your juvenile bias and cannot be trusted to offer help without slant to our users.

 

lol i think your all mixed up

 

go for the g.skill 1333 ram cause its imo the best ram for gaming, thats all you need to know.

if anymore is said you might get even more confused

 

uhm, you are aware G Skill has 1600 RAM for $10 more right?

This is the tech section we (well the people that offer objective, constructive help as opposed to fanboy bigotry like a certain somebody I just quoted) pride ourselves on our knowledge and we strive to help people. I have a Q9550 CPU and I love it, but I won't suggest it to anyone because for the same price you can buy a i7 920 which is out of the box superior to it.

lolz glad we can get along so well (j/k), well i was trying to help out too, but everything i say is either bad or not good enough, so why do i even bother to actually help someone, when someone knows it all better (this person knows who i'm referring too), i admit i don't know a lot about PC's but it gets me around and if i suggest something it is usually of good quality, i myself built my PC so i'm capable of helping someone who needs help

 

EDIT: i posted some urls in the beginning of parts he should get or not get, i said stick with the 965, it's $20 more expensive but it's better for OC or whatever, other people say, no don't that 1 get the 955 instead it's $20 cheaper, now they say get the 965 instead if you wanna overclock, so i'm like WTF?

 

then i said keep the GTX460 it's a good card for that price, then people say no get the 5770 it's better and will last longer, now others are saying no get the GTX460 instead it's much better

 

 

so you probably get where i'm going with this, all the help i give is blown off and eventually they will gett bac kto what i said earlier this month

 

so you probably get my point of what said today whch you quoted

 

i'm not here to pick a fight or whatever, but i don't appreciate people calling me a noob cuz of somethings i said, which i explained

 

a noob is someone that don't know shit about PC's which i know enough of, to not be called a noob

If you're referring to regionals and his suggestions, ignore him. The 965 is worth the $20 difference assuming you're not into overclocking. If he's into overclocking he wouldn't need our help to select parts, and would know what type of parts to buy.

yeah i know i already do

yeah i also know that but Zealot said in the beginning that he's planning to OC, if he knows enough about it, thats why i suggested to stick with the 965.

i know that also but Zealot didn't know enugh bout pc's thats why he asked our help, and wanted to learn to OC

the only thing I was you said was bad was the PSU thing...

Other than that youve been helpful

On the other hand Zealot didnt say anything about him wanting to OC until later on..which I then got on your side about it..so yeh..

[Zealot]

Besides being cheaper is the mobo going to last me longer than the 890? I'm thinking of using this build as a base for the next 5 or so years so I don't want redundant parts later on. I'm not going to skimp on the more important parts if I don't have to but I'll consider changing the mobo.

 

I had the arctic cooler at first but then I read some reviews on the 212 and I sold. Isn't a smaller fan louder? They are also pretty much the same price so it doesn't matter that much to me.

 

Other than that I appreciate all your guys help so far, the new egg forums gave me like 2 helpful posts -_-

Z my artic cooler came in the mail, and its quiet. Well quieter than my 470's fan, that bitch is loud since I crank it up.
