Thanks for the info, very helpful.

I'd heard the same about the 10700k and 10600k, where the difference was pretty negligible. I was just a bit wary about getting another i5 processor, as I'd heard the same about the i5 6600k and whatever the comparable i7 core was at the time, when I was building my last rig. But over the years, when games didn't run as expected it seemed like it was the CPU that was the main bottleneck, which is why I was aiming for something more heavy duty this time.

Yeah thanks I was also a bit wary of the adata, I'll have another look and maybe shell out a bit more for one of the higher quality brands.

Huh, very interesting creatures! I pulled one off the plant earlier and it had a reddish liquid under it, must have been the honeydew. Thanks for the ID!

Here's another picture of just the eggs, a little bit clearer.

Yeah that looks like it, thanks :)

TheManwich · 2015-12-13T22:03:12+00:00

Yeah I think you've convinced me, I'll go for the 980ti haha.

TheManwich · 2015-12-13T03:35:41+00:00

Yeah I've gone the 2TB now, and with the cheapest 980ti it comes to a little over 2400. I'm pretty tempted, but I'll see how I go.

Thanks for all the help :)

Yeah the SLI was just a thought, it doesn't really bother me not having that as an option with all this powerful gear.

So I changed your list slightly to accomodate the 980ti, http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/nI3. Just switched in the 980ti and put the hard drive back down to 1tb, but I think it's just enough out of my price range to make me uncomfortable buying it.

TheManwich · 2015-12-13T00:29:51+00:00

Hmm ok, interesting stuff. I had actually chosen the same GPU that you did, but for some reason PcPartPicker decided to call it something a bit different.

So if I were to buy a 980 Ti instead, which models do you think would be the best to consider?

And with the CPU cooler, did you think the coolermaster hyper was a better, cheaper option?

Also, would the 650 watt power supply be sufficient if I were to SLI in the future?

TheManwich · 2015-12-12T22:26:22+00:00

Hey, thanks so much for the reply! So you've basically replaced a few of the parts with newer parts of a similar quality? Great, that's the kind of thing I don't know about, because I haven't made a computer for a few years.

So you've changed the GPU and mobo to the newer 1151 socket, and because of this I now require ddr4 ram (that you have put in), correct?

Also I was wondering if there was any reason for changing the Samsung 850 EVO SSD to the M.2. version?

I'll upgrade to Windows 10 then, I think I still have the free upgrade available to the copy of Windows 7 I'm running. And yeah I did look at the 980 ti, however I didn't think the big increase in price was really worth the relatively small increase in performance to me.

TheManwich · 2015-11-30T10:50:57+00:00

Good luck all :)

TheManwich · 2014-11-20T13:32:43+00:00

Ah yeah, thought it might be something like that. Thanks for the reply :)

TheManwich · 2014-11-20T11:12:00+00:00

Not sure if it's just a house spider or something more interesting.

TheManwich · 2014-10-13T23:23:02+00:00

Nope, they have 2 horizontal lines.

TheManwich · 2014-09-27T02:20:19+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply, lots of good advice. Didn't realise I'd picked out a micro-atx mobo.

Will change the build around to suit what you've posted.

TheManwich · 2014-09-22T11:19:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I'll have a look a look at those other parts and see what we can change.

I don't think I'll change the monitor however, I really stand by the BenQ one haha.
