My budget would like to be 1300 at most.
Tweaks look great, I was thinking about what CPU to switch in for the 4130T and the one you've put in good. What about the memory and motherboard? How much does the form factor effect performance?
Also what is your opinion on the monitor?
EDIT: Saw that you changed the video card, how much better is it than the original R9 270 I had? a lot of other forums saying that there is not much difference.
Made another build at the same price here.

Form factor doesn't affect performance at all. You lose a PCIe slot, but unless you wanted go Crossfire you wouldn't need it anyway.
For memory 1600MHz CL9 is indeed enough, the 1866MHz CL10 is a bit better and 10$ cheaper, that's 10$ more you can spend on other stuff (e.g. the GPU).
The 270X and 270 are identical except for the clockrate. In this case the difference should be 10-15% and it's only 10$ (=5%) more so why not.
There's also this one
http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9270xcdbc
Another 10% for another 10$. Wasn't sure about shipping and your budget so I didn't include it the first time.
You could also get the Xeon E3-1230 v3 (I love that thing, think i7 without iGPU for 100$ less) which would put you 1$ over budget without shipping with the 270X or 9$ below with the 270.

I posted here more or less about a week ago but I was hoping everyone can take one final look at my build before I end up purchasing it sometime this week. Also, does anyone know if it would be worth waiting until Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Some adjustments I made: I swapped out the R9 280X for a 290 by someone's suggestion and opted to invest another 90 or so for a 144hz monitor. I don't necessarily have a set budget but I'm trying to keep it around $1000. I'm just hoping to run TF2/CS:GO/Dota 2 consistently at 120+ FPS with no drops.

(filled in with stuff that I either couldn't remember or was not on PCPartPicker)
So with this build I've been getting massive stuttering issues, as well when I alt tab sometimes my peripherals will freeze and i'll be unable to do anything for 5-20 seconds.
With Christmas around the corner, what can I replace on this build? (I've already replaced the motherboard (with another of the same type from the manufacturer) and the psu.) Or is it just a lost cause and I should save up to get a whole new build?

Just in TF2 or in toher games aswell?
I'm guessing it's the combination of TF2 being a piece of shit and your CPU not being able to handle the load. Not ruling out driver issues though.
If the CPU is the problem you could get a used 2500/2550/2600/2700/3570/3770 for somewhere between 100$ and 200$.

In other games as well, and sometimes just in general use. The CPU is pretty much the only thing I haven't replaced in this comp (it came with int. graphics and all that).
I messed around a LOT with drivers some time ago. I've reinstalled them several times and I don't know if that means I messed them up big time or if they're doing fine now.

You can obviously use a different case if you want to.
ATX mobo option, if you decide to go for a case that supports full-size ATX.
The budget would allow for a few upgades if you want, GPU (not worth it for source engine) or maybe an even better GPU e.g. the Xeon E3-1231 V3 (still <760$ total).
Not going to go into Windows 7 vs 8 vs 8.1, there's enough budget left to get either.

No glaring problems.
Would swap a few parts though and add a cooler.
Mobo: cheaper, no mSATA though, can flash BIOS without a CPU which might come in handy with the 4690K
GPU: cheaper and faster
PSU: half the price, non-modular though and not enough power if you want to go SLI.

So I'm thinking about getting a desktop and I would like to know some suggestions since I dont understand very much of it. ATM I have HP Z600 Workstation and would like to know aswell if I can use parts of it instead of buying everything. Here«s some of the specs:
CPU: Intel Xeon CPU X5550 @ 2.67GHz ( 2 of them )
Video Card: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 256 MB PCIe
RAM: 6 GB (6x1 GB) DDR3-1333 ECC RAM
My budget would be maximum of maximums 1000€. Thanks in advance!

Depends a lot on what you're going to use it for.
If it's still good enough for whatever you're doing I wouldn't upgrade at all.
You should be able to reuse the case and PSU, maybe the RAM, but I'm not sure what would need that much CPU power and only 6GB of RAM. You might simply run out of slots if you want to keep those 6 DIMMs and need more RAM.
What programs are you going to use?

hi, I have a i7 4790k i got for $230 yesterday, and im between these motherboards that i can get on sale and was wondering which motherboard would be good.
havent kept up a lot recently with hardware so im not sure whats a good indicator of a strong board for OC on these new chipsets
im between
ASUS Z87 Plus
MSI Z87 MPower
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H
I'm aware i have to bios flash the z87 mobos for the i7 4790k, and these are all supported
thanks
edit: also right now i just have 16gb of ddr3 1600.. generic crucial ram. is it worth investing in newer ddr3? shits 3000mhz+ nowadays lol
i dont mind spending the money for ram i don't want to get bottlenecked

Im planning using it for mostly gaming/streaming and probably would do some video/image editing but not that much i think.

Is the RAM CL9?
Anandtech got a nice article about it:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/7364/memory-scaling-on-haswell
tl;dr
Anything that doesn't require a metric fuckton of bandwidth (not size, bandwidth) will be <5% difference.
How did you choose these 3 motherboards? If you haven't yet, consider the other features and price.
Keep in mind that the 4790K is a bit special, if your mobo doesn't run a BIOS/UEFI version that supports it, it won't boot at all. That means if that mobo can't be flashed without a CPU you're fucked.
All those mobos use the same chipset so the VRMs are going to make the biggest difference.
I'd say the Z87-PLUS is the weakest in that regard (identical VRMs to the Z87-A).
Phases: UD4H (8) >> Mpower (5) > Plus (4)
MOSFETs: MPower > UD4H > Plus
Inductors: Plus > UD4H > MPower
Capacitors: MPower > UD4H > Plus
That said the MPower looks like it's full of marketing BS and seems a bit imbalanced. I have no idea how it's connected but they're using 5 Phases, 5 doublers, 20 drivers (guessing 10 high, 10 low) to drive 32 MOSFETs (16 high, 16 low) and advertise 20 phases. Compare that with the UD4H, 8 Phases going into 8 combined doublers and drivers driving 16 MOSFETs (technically 32, high and low side MOSFETs combined into one device). Makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?
#319
For anything other than TF2 a GPU would probably help the most. 2 X5550 are more than enough for streaming. Check your PSU though, if it can handle a power hungry GPU. Maybe an SSD if you haven't got one already and your motherboard supports SATA 6Gb/s. Other than that I can't think of any upgrades that make sense.

I'd say the Z87-PLUS is the weakest in that regard (identical VRMs to the Z87-A).
Phases: UD4H (8) >> Mpower (5) > Plus (4)
MOSFETs: MPower > UD4H > Plus
Inductors: Plus > UD4H > MPower
Capacitors: MPower > UD4H > Plus
That said the MPower looks like it's full of marketing BS and seems a bit imbalanced. I have no idea how it's connected but they're using 5 Phases, 5 doublers, 20 drivers (guessing 10 high, 10 low) to drive 32 MOSFETs (16 high, 16 low) and advertise 20 phases. Compare that with the UD4H, 8 Phases going into 8 combined doublers and drivers driving 16 MOSFETs (technically 32, high and low side MOSFETs combined into one device). Makes a lot more sense, doesn't it?
#319
For anything other than TF2 a GPU would probably help the most. 2 X5550 are more than enough for streaming. Check your PSU though, if it can handle a power hungry GPU. Maybe an SSD if you haven't got one already and your motherboard supports SATA 6Gb/s. Other than that I can't think of any upgrades that make sense.
#320 thanks for the link about the ram
the reason I gave those 3 mobos is because thats what my local microcenter has, and I have a gift i can return for $100, so essentially every mobo i listed is $50-70
I've found the gigabyte and ASUS have USB pen drive flashing w/o CPU, im leaning towards the ASUS, its $20 cheaper and im not seeing a significant reason to go with the gigabyte
i have cl9 1600mhz ram, im not gonna worry about it for now, but will try to upgrade in the future

No reason to upgrade RAM then. With 1600 CL9 the difference is even less, 2% or something like that. Unless you need 300MHz for bandwidth I wouldn't bother.
What cooler are you getting? It's probably the limiting factor, difference between the ASUS and Gigabyte is probably 0.2GHz worst case, maybe none.

#322 just a 212 evo, I usually overclock but nothing insane
if you have any recommendations for a CPU cooler that would significantly better, im open to buying a new one
thanks again

Yeah, the 212 Evo isn't really suited for anything insane. It depends on how far you want to go and wether or not you are delidding.
There's the Enermax ETS-T40-TB not that much better terms of temperature but a lot more quiet.
If you want to go further than just a mild overclock without delidding you should probably look at the usual suspects like the Phanteks PH-TC-14PE or the Noctua NH-D14. The NH-D15 is still too expensive atm.

Definitely no problems, pretty close to an ideal build.
Basically they only thing I could do was swap parts for slightly cheaper or slightly better equivalents. I'm not usually doing this sort of optimization since prices tend to change a bit until people actually buy the parts but this time I'd recommend you buy until Monday, because there are some pretty nice deals going on right now.
Better cooler, if you don't need it that quiet the 212 Evo is hard to beat for 23$.
Mobo was the only thing I disagreed with you, the UD5H is cheaper than the ID3H atm. There's also the UD3H-BK, literally the same thing in black, only cheaper right now.
Cheaper and better memory.
I usually recommend the MX100 or 840 Evo, not much of a price or performance difference.
Saved a whopping 1.50$ on the HDD.
Gotta love 50% rebate via mail-in rebate on that PSU.

Ok so I have a budget of £900 and I have an SSD, a 2TB HDD and a 660ti that I can keep in my new build. I'm going to spend £230 on a new monitor.
My budget for PC compontents is £670, and my friend made me a PCPartPicker list (which I'm very grateful for) and I'd like some opinions from some people here.
Thanks, Spannzer. :>

I'd really like to know what kind of logic your friend uses.
Third fan for the NH-D15 while using a silent case with only 2 fans. Effect -> Louder, same temps because even with only 2 fans on it the NH-D15 doesn't get enough air. If you want lower idle/low load temps get an NH-D14. If you want lower high load temps get better/more case fans and/or delid it.
Mini-ITX motherboard in a full-size ATX mid tower. Please explain.
RM650. No. Just no. There are so many things wrong with it, I'd hit the character limit listing them.
A few question:
How far do you want to overclock?
Are you willing/able to flash the BIOS without a CPU (Z87 mobos tend to have better VRMs).
Are low noise levels a priority?
Do you want to go SLI in the future?
Are there any other reasons why you'd want a mid tower?
Do you want a semi or fully modular PSU?

It shouldn't really affect the lifespan noticably (non-OC lifespan is >10years), but I don't think overclocking is worth it atm, it's mostly for the sake of overclocking.

I know it's nowhere near your budget, but why spend money on features you don't need. The RAM will run at 1600MHz because of the B85 chipset, but the cheapest 1600MHz CL9 RAM is only 0.39£ cheaper so I figured why not, you might be able to get better timings with this one.
You could also easily get the 4790K, just for the higher clockrates. Even getting a Z97 mobo and using the stock cooler until you decide to overclock would still be well within your budget.
