Draxus Prime Nos Nothi 4	Posted - 2016.02.07 16:59:00 - [1] - Quote Hey everyone, we had some great news lately (for me anyway) that CCP are making a new fps on PC and a lot of people are moving to the Master Race. Here are some PC part lists I made for 3 budgets to help you make the move (yes building yourself isn't to hard and will save you A TON). Background: I only owned a PS3 for MAG and Dust, first and foremost I am a member of the master race. I've been building PC's for a while now (hobby), mostly for friends who wanted to make the move and I've done almost 20 builds so far. I also keep up to date with latest hardware trends and such Disclaimer: We of course don't know the system requirement's of this new game yet but I'm basing this off other UE4 games so its safe to assume this new game will run similarly Also Prices in USD cause most of us are american (I'm Canadian though, I'm just being nice eh) So lets get started Build One Comes out to $514 dollars (heh). For the budget its a nice PC with a i3 processor which isn't the best but for the budget meh and a R9 380 GPU, a very nice card that I have in my own rig. Build 2 Comes out to about $900, beast of a PC, will max out games no problem. Only thing is whether you want a R9 390 or a 970. Performance wise they're near identical unless you move to 1440p and 4k where the 390s 8gb of vram get a edge over the 970s 4gb. Some people like nvidia better and like features such as shadowplay and physx so up to you. Build 3 For the rich players amongst us you can get a i7 4790k with a sick cooler for ocing and a 980ti when 100fps just isn't enough (or 1440p) If you liked this and have any questions ask and If you want I can do another one with peripherals in the budget "Spilling floor cleaner only makes the floor cleaner." - Draxus Prime Closed Beta Vet Scout

ANON Cerberus TerranProtossZerg 1	Posted - 2016.02.07 17:16:00 - [3] - Quote I have recently seen videos on youtube with sub $400 gaming machines that are on par with if not more powerful than the PS4. If anyone in actually interested in what you can get in terms of a gaming PC for the same sort of money as a PS4 then just do a youtube search or a google search. People make new builds and lists literally every month with the latest money saving build.

Now SATA cables are a lot more tidy and user friendly. Most decent cases now have the power supply in an alternate location for better heat management and overall I just think builds are a lot neater and easier to work on. Just my 2 pence.

byte modal 489	Posted - 2016.02.07 18:29:00 - [13] - Quote To the 1999 comment: you're fine. Same logic and general layout but with different cable standards and access points. It may give you pause for a minute or two, but you'll find the changes are cleaner and easier. Oh. And for some reason, fashion is now a thing. Lights, form design, plastic windows,....blah blah. That might **** you off but that's probably the worst of the changes. IMHO of course. To the save and wait: tech changes FAST. If you're only building for the DUST replacement, wait till you know sys requirements. If it's 2 years out, current components will be older, cheaper, and replaceable in 2 years. kitten bacon taco (nom)

EDIT: Here is a proper "rich player" build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mbgkFT Dropping the second 980 ti is totally feasible but you aren't master race if you don't even have SLI. Most people would take a i7 over a 9590 any day I have no idea what you're talking about. The 1500 was my limit for the 3rd build cause most wouldn't spend more then that and yes you can be master race without sli or xfire...

The 9590 edges out the i7 when you match up the processors head to head. The issue comes when you move to the parts that go around it. The primary reason being as I said AMD does not have support for ddr4 ram. When it comes to maxing out a budget build its the 9590 all day with a fat stack of ddr3. When it comes to serious power i7 + ddr4 does win.

Clock-for-clock, Intel's current processors take the cake almost every time. The FX-9xxx series processors are also pushed so heavily, there is almost zero OC headroom. They don't even come with stock coolers, because they would just burn up under anything that wouldn't drive up the price. I'm still hopeful for the upcoming Zen line, however. Anyone that's not adamant about jumping the gun immediately should consider waiting until AMD releases some more info about their upcoming CPU/GPU lines. They will probably be out later this year, and it will probably be make or break for AMD as a company. If they're serious about staying in the business, their next generation will be going all in. Or they will crash and burn, but I'm trying to stay hopeful.

Scalesdini BlackWater Liquidations INTERGALACTIC WARPIGS 453	Posted - 2016.02.08 16:20:00 - [32] - Quote Ugh, are you people kidding? Who brought up a 9590? Intel "mostly" beats the 9590? You're seriously recommending a 4790k for a $1,500 PC?! WHY? Do not buy an AMD FX processor. They are 5 years old at this point and a Skylake i3-6100 will obliterate even the expensive, power wasting 9590 (spoiler: it's an overclocked 8350, you can save yourself $100 by buying an 8350 and overclocking it yourself) in essentially every gaming situation. If you buy an i3 skylake, buy fast ram. It helps. DDR4-2666 or higher. Don't buy less than 8gb of RAM. For any of these builds. Don't buy a single stick of ram, buy a kit of 2 sticks. All RAM today is designed to run in dual channel mode (or quad channel, for the X99 processors, meaning 4 sticks) and you're going to gimp your PC if you buy a single stick. 8gb of ram costs roughly the same whether it's 1 8gb stick or 2 4gb sticks. If you're getting an i7, GET X99, NOT Z170. The Skylake i7-6700k is a 4 core 8 thread CPU and currently costs $400 everywhere but microcenter. The i7-5820k is a 6 core 12 thread CPU that, clock for clock, is within 3% of Skylake's single thread performance. The 5820k is cheaper than the 6700k everywhere, even microcenter (where it is currently $320). The difference here is the 5820k smashes the 6700k in multithreaded workloads. PC games are moving towards better multithreaded support in part because the PS4/Xbone are crappy 8 core AMD APU's and because clock speeds have been stagnant for years. 5820k is a much better investment, period. If you spend on a 5820k, keep in mind they DO NOT have integrated graphics at all. You WILL have to have a graphics card just to get it to display. For a gaming PC, this is a non-issue. Lastly, if you are buying a PC specifically for PC-Dust (either solely or mostly for), you should WAIT to buy your graphics cards. New offerings from AMD and nVidia are ~6 months out, even if you don't buy one of the new cards, the current crop will be on sale frequently for 1-3 months before the new stuff is released. Broadwell-E CPU's will also be out this year, probably around the same time frame as the new graphics cards, meaning Haswell-E's (the 5820k and its more expensive siblings) will likely be discounted shortly before those arrive as well, though this doesn't matter as much if you have a microcenter near you. If anyone is confused on any of that or has any specific questions they want to ask me, I'll try and keep an eye on the thread and answer any ?'s. I'm also in the #Dust514 IRC channel 24/7 (not always at keyboard) so feel free to come in there and ask as well. CatMerc is there as well and one or the other of us can help you. Also, his thread on PC's is pretty good: https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3099750#post3099750

If you buy an i3 skylake, buy fast ram. It helps. DDR4-2666 or higher. While I 100% agree that 9590 is a complete waste, the 8350 and 6300 are still excellent chips for their price. i3's only beat them in single threaded workloads, which quite honestly are becoming a rarity in games today. The AMD chips will also give you a better overall system experience. Everything will be snappier than the i3. Scalesdini wrote: Don't buy less than 8gb of RAM. For any of these builds.

I agree, don't buy less than 8 gigs of RAM these days. However the single channel vs dual channel thing has next to no real world performance benefits, only in benchmarks. It's better in my opinion to buy a single stick, giving you better upgrade ability. Scalesdini wrote: If you're getting an i7, GET X99, NOT Z170.

Broadwell-E CPU's will also be out this year, probably around the same time frame as the new graphics cards, meaning Haswell-E's (the 5820k and its more expensive siblings) will likely be discounted shortly before those arrive as well, though this doesn't matter as much if you have a microcenter near you.

I was fuming for a while at how now I could get better PC parts for less money vs when I bought the parts. 8GB EVGA DDR4 2400 RAM for less than $50 at Microcenter. I bought 8GB of DDR3 1600 for more than that.

Here are some PC part lists I made for 3 budgets to help you make the move (yes building yourself isn't to hard and will save you A TON). Background: I only owned a PS3 for MAG and Dust, first and foremost I am a member of the master race. I've been building PC's for a while now (hobby), mostly for friends who wanted to make the move and I've done almost 20 builds so far. I also keep up to date with latest hardware trends and such Disclaimer: We of course don't know the system requirement's of this new game yet but I'm basing this off other UE4 games so its safe to assume this new game will run similarly Also Prices in USD cause most of us are american (I'm Canadian though, I'm just being nice eh) So lets get started Build One Comes out to $514 dollars (heh). For the budget its a nice PC with a i3 processor which isn't the best but for the budget meh and a R9 380 GPU, a very nice card that I have in my own rig. Build 2 Comes out to about $900, beast of a PC, will max out games no problem. Only thing is whether you want a R9 390 or a 970. Performance wise they're near identical unless you move to 1440p and 4k where the 390s 8gb of vram get a edge over the 970s 4gb. Some people like nvidia better and like features such as shadowplay and physx so up to you. Build 3 For the rich players amongst us you can get a i7 4790k with a sick cooler for ocing and a 980ti when 100fps just isn't enough (or 1440p) If you liked this and have any questions ask and If you want I can do another one with peripherals in the budget You messed up on build 3. This board will do some serious OCing on this ram. Get with the program man. DDR4 is the only good reason to go with intel right now as otherwise you are better of with the new fx-9590. EDIT: Here is a proper "rich player" build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mbgkFT Dropping the second 980 ti is totally feasible but you aren't master race if you don't even have SLI. Most companies won't even touch the 9590 due to its crazy high tdp. (125 instead of 91). I have even seen them blow out capacitors on motherboards. Bang for buck comparison the i7 is just flat out better and does not require water cooling.
