I just put a Evga 960 ftw in my lol hp work station with 320 watt ps. FYI using the disc drive power cables with adapter plugs. Factory 1430 clock speed is amazing. 60 fps+ so far with everything. It hasn't drawn more than 90 watts max from the pathetic non upgradeable power supply. Got the card for $160 which was a good deal. 3 year warranty. The basic tower was 250 from Amazon with a i7 2600 @ 3.4 ghz. Threw in $30 of 8 gb of ddr3 ram, $60 1 tb sshd is quick, and can play whatever I want while I work  about $510 which I easily made by being a nice guy doing my lol job. Alright so I'm not working to hard here.=ƒì+=ƒì¦
AMD is finally coming to the game again. Way to much power and heat kept me away from those cards.
All I can say is computers are fun. As long as it's not a laptop. I have 3 towers that are unique, all Intel chips, tinkering and upgrading parts is not that expensive for what you get relative to a console. Mine are built like bussiness grade tanks and I've never had issues unlike the 2 PS3's that dust killed. Thousands of games are available for cheap. Master race? More like the most logical choice for gameing and multi use capabilities.

Search you local online markets, like Craigslist for some reasonably good deals on complete gameing rigs, also there are many parts to choose from. I counted 11 good gaming platform pcs locally, most around $500 ready to use. Or find a i3, i5 ect tower and throw a $150 graphics card in that beach. Nobody needs flashy LEDs, just spray can that **** gloss gold =ƒÿå

Yes I totally agree with build your own as well, I built a screaming 3ghz duel core 8 years ago, still plays tons of low CPU games with ease. Popped a 750 ti in it last fall for my daughter and minecraft at 80 fps is great.
It was a suggestion to buy a PC from a rich kid who spent a 1000 building one 2 years ago and it's still very relevant and capable. Most listed for sale are amd machines. I'm not a uber tech and would never try to steer anyone astray into the PC world. I buy ready to upgrade used pcs every few years. As in cheap fast and easy to mod.
Anyway I ran out of patience for the new efficient cards last month and got a 960 ftw from bbuy down the street. I'll be happy until next summer or whenever pascal happens I'll upgrade. I don't have time to enjoy a spendy rig, I'm old enough to think every PC is really fast now. As in faster than an Apple II. Remember it's your money and choice, not mine.

Happy your excited for the new gpu's. I would never suggest buying a used gpu. Insert new super duper gpu of your choice into used gaming PC.
How would that be so bad? Brand new Mobos are better now sure, able to exploit the numbers bleeding edge enthusiast types might care about, all those finite details of system synergy. I don't, because it's trivial IMO. I'm five years behind the edge and it don't bother me a bit. I've read the current articles on the status of next gen.
Again I have a work PC that runs just about any game @ 1080 60 fps, 50 inch tv now for $510.
If it don't play nova when it's released then novas already out of most people's reach.
Just trying to get the kiddies to come over to a PC and jam on the keyboard with a budget consience parent yelling it's time to go to bed. My real world rational for implying Craigslist as a source for hardware. Take a fkn pill already.
Tell everyone who cares to follow their favorite computer manufacturer forums for the latest news regarding price power performance and availability. That would be considered reliablely sourced information. This forum isn't exactly nerd central is it?
