I've put together what I think would be a decent machine.

Any input would be nice.

i'll just leave this here. even though i selected full screen and 1920x1080 it did it in the windowed lower resolution. does it just default to that?

Could probably go cheaper on the Mobo and get a smaller SSD with a HDD for storage and cut off a couple hundred bucks. Assuming you already have a case as well?

Also that heatsink is massively huge... big like x-box. Might want to double check that you have space for it.

Default is in window mode, but if you select the option enough it will run full screen too. I had to do it twice for it to stick.

Over 2000 nice Monsieur, standard badassness.
First run was 2028 in window mode. Figured full screen would be better and it was. Tried DX11 and I shut it down before the first scene was done. Definitely not good enough to watch.

Considering I paid $400 (not including SSD and Windows 7) for my computer 3 years ago or so with a graphics card that was $50, not bad, lol.

If you're building something like this, why not just go ahead and get the 980 instead of the 970? I'd also just get like a 240/320GB SSD and like a 2TB storage drive.

It's just a (1.6GB) benchmark program using their graphics. I was just curious what I would score.

How cheap are mobo? That one is only like 208.
Think the Case is big enough also:

Cause the 980 is 200 bucks more. It's not worth it for the minimal amount of a performance upgrade from the 970.

The problem I have with those small SSDs is that games today are freaking huge. GTA was like 80 gig. That's just one game. If games keep up with this pace thats only 2 Games and the OS.

I usually only spend $100~$150 on a mobo. The expensive ones tend to just have more bells and whistles that never get used.

Dammit SE. Why did you have to add campaign battle double XP to this event. Now I want to reactivate and level all of my 75 jobs in campaign.

If you are running a 4k monitor or a wide resolution monitor the 980 is very much worth the price. If you're using a 1920x1080 monitor then the 970 is the better purchase.

Currently running a triple monitor set up with each at 1920x1080.

Linked? or independent screens?

I used to run 3 linked at 5260x1080 resolution.

I guess a linked then. Only play games at 1920x1080 windowed in the center screen so I can look ***up on the others.

Gotcha, I do the same now days. Running 3 monitors really isn't that taxing on a videocard if your game is just on one screen (1920x1080) but when you run games with all monitors acting as 1 monitor (5k resolution as seen in my above picture on TERA) you need MOAR POWER *Tim the Tool Time Taylor laugh* and the middle tier cards will start having trouble. However you can SLI the middle tier cards and get pretty good results, usually better then 1 card of the top tier.

Josi baby don't tempt me like that! My heart is fickle! I actually started playing on a level cap 75 ToAU era server a couple days ago.. but I am tempted.


Spoilers for 5k resolution skyrim and TERA screenshots.
Duno if my old imageshack account will display the full size image though.

Nope, won't go full image size. *** you imageshack!
