elited5 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I went from a AMD phenom 2 black edition something or other to the I5 and wasn't impressed as it seemed about the same, then more recently went to the I7 and it's about the same. I am limited by my Internet speed. Games perform the same I5 or I7 for me anyway but I don't play anything new or fancy. It's all relative. I had the I5 and my RAM OC'd then I burnt out a RAM slot on my MOBO in a Z87 MOBO so I moved them around to still get dual channel and then in time was getting blue screened again. I set everything to default speeds, reformatted, and gave it to my sister. My new PC is not OC as I just want it to be stable. Really not any faster though. Basically I don't run anything to stress my hardware though so take it for what it's worth. I really could have spent a lot less for what I need but I want it to last 4 years (maybe more) i could have spent a whole lot less too but just for future proofing i just bought those.what power supply were u using in the i5/i7 system?

In the I5 I used a Thermaltake 600w but was only running a 7870 GHz edition GPU In the new one I am running a 1000w Antec. I wanted at least a 750 but figured fuck it, I'll go 1000, no other reason really, 750 would have been fine Yea, the GPU in new one was 3 bills, the 980ti isn't that one still like 6 bills? I just couldn't justify it ONLY because I don't game much at all anymore. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

Karkov Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Either way, Love your build man, all the exact exact same gear but you got the GPU I WANTED but didn't get, lmao. I should add, when i got my stuff I threw the new GPU in the old tower and with the 600w PSU and setting the GPU fans (3) to run at 100% they would kick in and out. Put it into the new rig like it's supposed to be with the 1000w and no issues. 2007 Chevy Tahoe (SOLD) 12 ~ FI Audio X series 10" w/BP option 2 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @0.67 3 ~ DC Audio 5.0K @1.0 2 ~ PPI 3 way sets (not installed yet) 1 ~ RF T400-4, 1 ~ RF T600-2, 1 ~ RF T600-4 4 ~ CT Sounds 5.25" Strato comps (rear fill only) 1 ~ XS Power D4800 1 ~ XS Power D3400 8 ~ XS Power XP3000 160 stock alt, Mechman 370 Elite, 185 DC Power 320+ Sq.

RainStryke Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nice set up! I have been waiting for the GTX 980Ti lightening to come out. That gaming edition has been pretty tempting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
