alganthe Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 My motherboard PCI-E and SATA ports decided to stop working, forever.I'm currently on a craptop running ubuntu 15.10 (MATE) and thus I can't play arma 3 T.T I'll be getting a new rig this week / next week or mid late january in the worst case scenario. I already got my screen, and I can reuse my mouse and headset. the screen in question is a iiyama GE2488HS. I'll probably get a 960 4GB and a skylake intel proco, other components... dunno yet.

Amentes Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I'm actually about to start a new build myself, working around a 6700k. Currently debating if I should get on board the M.2 train, or stick with a more traditional SSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiranhA Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Frigidaire is highly reccomended for home users. Theres more you can do with it as only making a croque monsieur. The tournedos Rossini (escoffier) is one of my favourites. Keep a eye on the maillard raction, to heavy and it becomes bitter and burned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParabolicAJB Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 A GTX960 is not much more powerful than the over-3-year-old GTX660TI I have just upgraded from (even less so considering the massive boost clock it had being the MSI power edition). You'd actually get better value from a GTX970 which you could use in the rebuild you have planned. I think SCAN have an Asus GTX970 for £230 at the moment, cheapest to date. Just saying, hope you get it sorted regardless. (P.S, check second chart on this link for relative comparison - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-650/performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
