Black Friday List... & Target price.. List yours.. 4 Brainstorm
« on: Sat, 16 November 2013, 20:25:28 »
4x 3TB HDD @ ~ $90

4770k + Mobo @ ~ $380-430

3rd 7970 for trifire @ ~ $180

Maybe a gaming monitor 120/144hz if they go on sale, which was never.. so not hopeful.

Maybe a side load washing machine...

Newegg has 2TB Seagate Barracudas up right now for $80 and I'm pretty close to getting 4 for a RAID 5 array that I've been wanting to set up for a while.

Any chance that they'll get cheaper or that 3TBs will actually get down to ~$90?

I suppose I could buy another 600w, but why? What benefit do 2 PSUs have over one that would make up for the space premium?

Getting a new card as soon as the Titan Ultras drop, and my measly 600w won't be able to power it.

What games do you play and what res monitor(s) do you have?

I really play everything, and my monitor's nothing crazy just a standard 1920x1200 display resolution. I've just had my 560 Ti for so long it's time for a big upgrade. Never had trouble running things at max/close to max until recently, so a Titan Ultra or 800 series ought to last me another 2 years or so.

unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

the 780kudan / Titan Ultra are not going to last 2 years.   Even if they do... You're better off buying 2x $500 cards and getting way more for your money..  like 2x AMD 290x... or even 2x nv780 vanilla

the kudan/titan is the same as throwing aluminum at keyboards.. it's "nice" but there's very little function at dramatically increased costs..   

The difference is,  you can dual wield gfx cards,  but you can't really use 2 keyboards, so single keyboard performance is the only thing you can improve..

but for gfx... there's no reason to put so much into one card.. the micro-stuttering issue is mostly resolved on both brands....

It really just comes down to frame-rate numbers now..

It really just comes down to frame-rate numbers now..

So some research states that apparently the Titan Ultra became the 780Ti, so it would be the 800 series that the PSU would be for. Just buying ahead while stuff is cheap.

And also, my trusty 560Ti has lasted me almost 2 years with nary an issue, but the framrate's been suffering with some more recent titles so it's time for it to retire. I don't see why spending more for an 800 series when it drops early next year would be any less beneficial than someone who waited a year later for the price to drop. And dual SLI'ing 780's seems pointless and overly expensive to me when one already pumps out more than enough lovely numbers to power any current or near future title smoothly on it's own.

Only thing I need for my comp right now is a HDD. I've been running on just a 128 gb ssd for months. I've had to delete games if I wanted to play a new one. No songs either. Just streaming :\

Streamin' is the future for sure... but yea... you need at least a fast 3TB in there for convenience.

Streaming is ok, but youtube is not as high quality as I would like. Streaming options like grooveshark and spotify don't have much recent/less popular korean music.
