Brian 972 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 Could I get some opinions on this computer I just bought? 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4770 processor (8M Cache, up to 3.9 GHz) 1TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive 6.0 Gb/s NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 1.0GB GDDR5 12GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz - 4 DIMMs 16X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW), write to CD/DVD Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit (Didn't want Windows 8) Planning to install an SSD drive later on down the road and possibly upgrade the video card Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted July 28, 2013 That 645 is one of the low end gfx cards that's intended to be able to run games but probably won't last long before becoming obsolete. You'll prolly end up wanting to upgrade it cause the rest of the system is pretty damn solid you buy prebuilt? How much did you spend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted July 29, 2013 The computer was around $850 or so, got myself a 23 inch LED monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse, the OS (charged $30 despite 8 being free but I didn't really care) and a sound system with two satellite speakers and a small sub woofer for a total of around $1230.

narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted July 29, 2013 Yeah, good call, don't ever buy shitty "gayming" anything ever. The headsets (and headsets in general, get a seperate mic and attach it) are generally poor quality and stop working. I dropped £40 on a 10 button mouse that turned out to be a gayming mouse and now it's double clicking when its too humid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 Fuck it, this is a good enough topic. I need a new mouse. Something reliable and not stupidly expensive. Preferably with those two buttons on the side that will perform the forward and backward function on my browser. This is what I've been using, because, well, it was the first one I saw when I needed a new mouse three years ago. http://www.tigerdire...p?EdpNo=7135072 Any suggestions before I buy something random based on very little criteria?

narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 Don't bother with some ricer 10 button mouse piece of junk. I bought a Logitech G500 because I needed the macro keys and really wish I hadn't, humidity causes it to double click when it should single click and they are STILL producing the mice with this defect. I'm waiting for a Microsoft Intellimouse with the forward/backward buttons to show up because too many mice these days are complete garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 Wouldn't touch one of those gaming mice. I don't really need the extra buttons, and they look uncomfortable to use. My old one was comfortable and lasted a long time, but the left button turned into a moody bitch and the scroll wheel randomly stopped working today. I'll probably end up with something similar, if not the exact same mouse. It was pretty nice at first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuPz0r 5361 Report post Posted July 30, 2013 This was my old mouse before i got my R.A.T-9. It was very comfortable, and mid range, so not too expensive. I got it for £18 on ebay. Gigabyte ECO600 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massacre 7646 Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Black with blue lights always gets my attention. I used to rock a desktop/Windowblinds/Rainmeter setup that was black with transparent blue accents. I've always wanted an office that looks like it could be a set from a Tron sequel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted July 31, 2013 Hmm, i use Logitech MK710 on my computers at the office, and i find them very comfortable and reliable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 972 Report post Posted July 31, 2013 I think simple is better. Nothing more than two buttons and a mouse, possibly with back and forward buttons, but aren't needed. I always like Logitech. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 972 Report post Posted August 1, 2013 I always like Logitech. The higher end the worse unfortunately. They make good and simple mouses for cheap, I like their keyboards too for the most part. I like the Wirless K800 for keyboards. For a mouse the Logitech M510 is great. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Qdeathstar 1763 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 I was going to get the gigabyte one, but it had some negative reviews, and cyantist is correc, plus 200 for the tuner card It was hard to justify spending 200 more for the 780 when ill play my games at low resolutions (1080p)...

narcolepsy 581 Report post Posted August 22, 2013 Gigabyte are what I use. They're the most solid motherboards I've ever owned. As a list of what to avoid: Foxconn: Cheaply made, stupid limits on RAM (my old one couldn't handle over 3gbs despite having two slots) Abit: Randomly stop POSTing. There's a pretty popular meme on hardware forums called "make like an Abit motherboard, and stop posting" Biostar: these use the absolute worst capacitors in existance. My cousin dropped off a small departments computers from where he works (7 computers approx). All custom built, different motherboards as they were built at different times as the department expanded and all of them had bulging capacitors. Low end MSI is also complete and utter shit. If it's on the logical increments website though it isn't going to be low end garbage so go ahead and buy it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
