To the OP, jormungand: I know that schmuckley is supposedly trying to spread "knowledge" to you regarding your build, but all I can say is take his "knowledge" with a grain of salt and just be happy with what you've chosen - which is great for the budget you set yourself - and don't second guess yourself or the choices you made for your particular build.

Be happy with it and rock out whatever you have planned for your build!

Im really happy man!!! i ask for advises like everyone here but im not a freshman building pc, i read a lot of reviews here and other forums.He can have his personal opinión about the gtx770 and the psu i choosed, but i know that the gtx770 is a great gpu for what i paid, and the psu was recommended by BarbaricSoul and me personally read all reviews at newegg even knowing is not so reliable source but i dont think is a bad choice. i cannot ask more for a $800 budget or the real $866 i paid for my pc less 70 on mails in rebate. My last rig was a 2500k/ asus genez68/GA/WF3 gtx670, but i had to sell it for personal reasons. So im really glad ive got this rig wich is better IMO.

A lot of times you have to go with your gut, a lot of us have varying levels of opinions generated by different results and websites (Or personal) and it can sometimes come down to very small differences. You should be fine for years to come at 1080p and when that day comes you can always grab a new GPU down the line!

Though I am sad to hear you had to get rid of your 2500K build, Sandy-Bridge unlocked chips are still excellent for gamers as a 2500K overclocked to 4.5+ghz will run any game ultra still.

Glad to hear it! And when it comes down to it, the ONLY thing that matters is if you're happy.

i know dude, i loved my 2500k and that mobo, and my gtx670 by the way. But i had to sell to pay all the tickets for traveling. I had no option, but now i bought an 8 core from AMd who some says its better for decoding/transcoding all the ... coding stuff than for gaming as Intel does, but it really suits the need for a gamer like me. Pair with a GTX770 is better option i think than a i5 with a gtx760 like i was planning or a Fx6300+gtx760.

ill be posting a picture of everything once i get it.

Daily clocks is a matter of opinion. Would you call my 780ti running at 1250/1750 daily clocks? I do. The highest scoring GTX 770 in the Valley thread hit 2953, the highest scoring 7950 got 2503 (that 7950 was clocked at 1225/1750, much higher than yours), lowest GTX 970 score is 3048.

Like I said, I want to see it.

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/unigine-valley-benchmark-scores.183712/

Well..after trying.. I was wrong.
The 7950 gets 10 fps more in OpenGL but NOT dx11
It's scoring about 2500? in Valley ..
I was wrong..yes..it got more in OpenGL bench..but NOT dx11 where it counts.
I apologize.
Both cards will run any game on highest settings.
It wouldn't amaze me if that 2900-ish score had some LOD involved.

EarthDog · Nov 18, 2014

You may want to stop when you are.. ahead.

Schmuckley · Nov 18, 2014

aye..I was wrong ,and I admitted I was wrong.You got summin more to say?

Toothless · Nov 18, 2014

Well.. It took a while for you to stop typing and start reading. @EarthDog is right, though I'd see it as you admitted you were wrong. Empty threats aren't the way to go.

@jormungand Keep us updated! Maybe start a build log? Who knows.

Dbiggs9 · Nov 18, 2014

I will watch this! Yes pics!

i will as soon i got my stuff. Start a build log?? what you mean ??? By the way, nice avatar , my son loves that movies and me personally love the 2nd part.

You did admit you were wrong, then posted up something else that needed corrected (7950 can run all titles out at full tilt). It can "run" any game on its highest settings, but will the FPS be playable? Not on several titles...the 7950 is more than serviceable at 1080p, but it can't run everything cranked. So yeah, I had 'sommin' more to say (correcting).

Build log is a thread that shows your parts then all put together jormungand.

BarbaricSoul · Nov 18, 2014

@jormungand a build log is where you take pictures of the assembly of your computer and post a thread about it here for us to see

Well encoding like for example Adobe loves extra cores and will benefit greatly from having 8 cores over having just 4 cores (or 4 cores 8 threads) which is where you get a nice bonus with that chip while still having good gaming horsepower to boot. Intel do a better job at core to core performance which is better for gaming most of the time but recently even at about 4.5ghz on tests the difference in FPS minus a few exceptions is within 5 FPS average so its not much to worry honestly.

Just post some pics of what your doing while building it is what they mean. It shows your process and how things come to fruition.

It's like.. A picture book of progress when you're building your desktop. Like a picture of all the boxes together, then the board in the case, then everything but the wiring, then the wiring and a few to show off how sexy it is.

Also I have both movies downloaded and I can't tell you how many times I've watched them.

Lol i bet you no more times than my son.

The first one I've seen 20-30 times, and the second I think I'm on 6-7 times. Though my baby sister has seen The Croods probably closer to 100 times...
