Just ordered parts for a new pc <3

I think @Eoj Charlie could shed some light upon this thread.

 

I can totally (never ever ever EVER) help you with this! I'm as tech-savy as a rock!

 

Please dont read this if you are actually going to take me seriously, your current computer is fine, im just giving my opinion on how it can be better, not why you should through out your current build in favor of mine.

First off, the 8350 is a rip-off, its just a overclocked 8320. Buying a 8320 and overclocking it to 4ghz is not a tough task. I got mine to 4.4 ghz, while I could get it to 4.5, my cooling solution simply was not good enough to handle it under heavy loads. Though, not a bad choice for newcomers who are not comfortable with overclocking and for only a small price increase. Second, taking that 290x and replacing it with at gtx970 would be a better solution for cheaper the price, ALTHOUGH, you will not get 4 full gigs of vram. The gtx970 is advertised as a 4gig card when in reality .5 gigs of the ram is under clocked and has terrible performance. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-290X-vs-GeForce-GTX-970 <-------direct comparison between 290x and gtx970

 

What's the build cost and initial budget for that?

 

How come you didn't include a larger power supply for future upgrades? What's your opinion on utilizing SLI?

 

I agree with all your points, though I would add in an Nvidia Quadro for professional applications as well. Nvidia also revealed their plans for the next-gen Pascal in 2016, and the Volta in 2018, so I guess you can wait for one or the other for a better investment.

 

Me reading this thread

 

I agree in full. I cannot, for the life of me, think why this person would possibly need to use a titan (let alone a quadro) for his "professional applications"

 

By using that i meant i was clueless what anything in this thread meant, what is a titan and what does a quadro do?

 

In a nutshell, they are what look like graphics cards, but are really intended to be complete separate cpus that are meant for extreme computing power. This kid here wants to put 1-2 of those in his pc where he says he is using them for "high computing programs." and occasional gaming. Not only will his cpu terribly bottleneck the performance of the titan/quadro, but I also dont think that one program he could get his hands on would remotely put that kind of hardware to its limit. In my eyes, I thought that picture meant "are you crazy? that's stupid!"

 

I want a Titan X so badly. It's almost 1/3 of the price of the Titan Z now, some places you can purchase one for 840$. Perhaps it would be a good option.
