    The difference between an i5-2500K and i5-4670K is going to be night and day, as the Sandy Bridge CPU doesn't have the issues the Haswell does.

    To all you regulars of this thread: Which one of you has the "best" computer? Whether best means nicest looking, fastest or most expensive is for you to decide.

    I don't understand the purpose of this question and all you'll get is "spam" and a moderator telling "us" to take it somewhere else. Besides we can end it here already since I have the best computer, mostly because I decided it is.

    Cyanotical and that one dude, who posted maybe 5-10 pages ago with 3*Dell U3011s and the fancy monitor for 3D touch screen graphical drawing.

    That's already three variables on which to judge a computer, meaning a singular winner is already impossible. Aside from the fact that "best" computer is based on personal preference.

    What Notarget said; I agree with him unironically. My system is the best, because it serves my niches better than any other system on here.

    Parts chosen are overpriced.

    EDIT:
    Also that power supply is heavily underpowered. It's (supposed to) have 420W on the 12V rails. That 9370 systemload alone is ~300W. Added the graphics card and you're already peaking the max load, not even adding in the rest of your hardware. Which is never a good idea on a cheap power supply.

    I'd change that sooner rather than later.

    Have you bought this yet?
    Or are you asking for people's opinions?

    Returned my r9 290 and got a gtx Asus 780Ti DCU2 OC instead, in my eyes that warrants a small pic update post ^^.





    Will provide a pic of my updated desk aswell once my mother-in-law leaves.

    Pretty happy with my rig now, finally got around to overclocking abit my cpu abit aswell.
    Now I just need to find something demanding to play

    PS: Anyone able to help me out with the corsair logo? I am supposed to be able to change the colour of it, but for some reason the corsair software wont let me. (corsair h100i)

    Its what I bought. If I spoke to anyone about it before I bought it they would say how intel is cooler and uses less power but doesnt have as many cores nor is the power consumption more then negligable. People who are really uneducated about it. And to the post above the power consumption of the processor is only 200w plus the manufacturer states I can go as low as 450w. So, it is really more than what I need. Thanks anyway.

    While I despise those bums obsessing over AMD/Intel or AMD/nVidia... The 9370 is merely a 8350 with a higher clock, while the pricetag is significantly higher for no good reason. I wouldn't mind suggesting an 8350 to you, but the 9370 definitely wanders right into waste-of-money territory.

    Especially when your powersupply is so low and the graphics cards such a weak one. You could've very likely gained a noticeable benefit from getting a better graphics card instead, or gained a more reputable powersupply that the average system-builder can more readily recommend.

    But with that said, what's done is done, as mentioned.

    You have no idea what you are talking about. Yes it is from the fx series, and no it is not an over clock 8350. I dont see any 8350s pushing over 5ghz over clocked which the 9370 does. And the power supply isnt low unless you think 520w is a waste but then again some idiot giving his opinion only makes him look more dumb. And as far as the video card I get 120 fps on ultra sitting in org so its all good bro when I want your opinion ill give it to you. And fyi, my last dynex power supply i bought 5 years ago which is 400w and guess what it still works perfectly today lets see if you friends can reccomend one that outlasts the computer k bro

    Dynex power supply... inb4 explosions and fire.
    Liquid cooler that is known to have problems and will likely break on you in less than a year.
    CPU that is just an overclocked 8350, you could have bought the 8350 and overclocked it to 4.4GHz yourself and saved a shit load of money.
    SSD from PNY, anything from PNY, *bad memories come flooding back to my mind, no no NOOOOOO!!!!*
    WD 250GB HDD... how old is it? I suggest you replace it soon if it's old. It's probably going to be rather slow, either way.
    16GB of 2133MHz RAM? What do you need this for above a 1600MHz pack?
    650 Ti BOOST 2GB... cool, a GPU core that cannot even use 2GB of VRAM because it's that slow and lower memory bus bandwidth... this is where you should have spent more money.
    2 Blu-Ray burners?! WHY?!
    And a DVD burner?! You know 1 blu-ray burner would have done both tasks just fine, right?
    oh boy, LEDs.

    I saw your post basically bashing the people suggesting Intel or AMD or whatever, and they being uneducated about it, no, I'm sorry Mr "pepsidrink" but you are the one that is uneducated about this. Enjoy your already 1-2 year old hardware that should not even be being sold anymore, I wish, I truly wish, we could have guided you to spend your money more wisely. I guess you're happy with your ignorant ego, though, so enjoy.

    lol, so you must be on a server like Zangarmarsh or other dead one? Enjoy.

    And Drunkenvalley has been building PCs for a long while, and I can tell you didn't build yours, you went to some crap website like ibuypower.com and had them build you some overpriced junk. Enjoy, again.

    wow another idiot flaming fag,, my guess is you are posting from multiple accounts to back yourself up because guess what i play on a heavy pop realm and no you are misguided about everything it seems. I have been making pcs since windows 3.1. What he reccomends to others is his problem not mine. Dont try to bullshit me either because I know you fags problem let him give you computer advice and no my hardware isnt that old. I just bought the hard drive like i dunno 6 months ago. And guess what I have a 40gb hd from 2000 that still works and guess what the name is? Hitachi. People probably still think its crap and went thru atleast 10 hard drives no but guess what i dont act like you and download illegal shit so i dont need more than 100 gb really. Why not have 2 blu ray drives they are hella fast and they support the 120gb discs for when i backup. The dvd is still there even though its like a year old because i have 4 bays and i didnt want an open space there really is no other reason.. is this ok with you? i didnt know i had to check with you first

    Infracted. Please disagree without the name calling in the future.
