GA-Z97M-G43 if you want an M.2 slot.
The N200 and the Prodigy are about the same size. If you still want mini-ITX and don't need an M.2 slot get the GA-Z87N-WIFI.
Are you going to calibrate that monitor?

I thought you didn't want to overclock (#185). The build in #188 was based on the assumption you didn't.

#193
OC'ing I guess?
Any reason for the RAM?
Need CUDA?
Monitor for Photo or Video editing?

Mechanical is worth it though, imho.

#194
i5 is indeed enough.

If you can get windows any cheaper or a free OS (Linux, SteamOS, whatever you want) you can get a 120Hz monitor.
60 fps on Ultra are pretty much guaranteed. 120fps average (will be below 120 sometimes) in Bioshock Infinite (1080p, high) might possible if you overclock the 280. If you want any more than that you'd probably have to delay the 120Hz monitor like you orginally planned, to get a better GPU.

You can also drop the CPU down to a 4570 to get closer/stay under 1k.

Unless you're going for a multiple GPU configuration now or in the near future or do some tasks that require a metric fuckton of CPU power, it's NO to both.

Unless you need nvidia for the software/drivers/features (CUDA, Linux, G-Sync/3D) you're only going to spend more.

For Wifi get a Card/Stick. Check what standards/speed your router supports.

#169 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Yeah, it's probably personal bias.
I've used both UEFIs but I can't really comment on which one is easier to understand because I'd already seen lots of confusing layouts so I was used to it by that point.

200% the PSU capacity you need isn't future proofing when the mainboard doesn't even support 2-way crossfire/SLI. If he ever upgrades to a 300W GPU he can still buy 450-500W PSU.
Afaik the Pro3 has the same features, just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better.

Keep in mind that he's on a budget.

SpannzerSure man, gonna have to wait months for it though, need to save up and money's really tight. ;_;

So I doubt that upgrades like a high end GPU will happen soon.

#160 PC Build Thread in Hardware

Did you increase the voltage? Anyway 1600MHz CL11 is pretty bad and the price difference is so small that I doubt anyone would actually down bin 1600MHz CL9 to CL11, so those are simply the duds and might not overclock at all.
I didn't criticise your motherboard choice, I picked a different one for the sole reason that it's cheaper.
1.3V+ is where I would worry about VRMs on the low end boards and get one of higher quality, 100£+ boards and that's where the 212 wouldn't be sufficient anymore aswell.

The RAM is CL11, just saying.
Also only the 210 Elite got USB 3.0 front ports.

Two possible builds and some options:
No overclocking (mATX):

Options:
If you want dual channel RAM (higher voltage, doesn't matter unless you want to OC it): Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Multi-Rail PSU, non modular though: be quiet! PURE POWER L8 350W
Higher efficiency PSU, also multi-rail, more expensive though: be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER E9 | 400W

For some more serious overclocking and more features (most notably SLI):
Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H or
ASRock Z97 EXTREME4
The 212 will probably limit you though.

#20 Increasing DPI vs. increasing in-game sensitivity in Q/A Help

stabbyIn-game sensitivity is a multiplier. It takes the counts of movement recorded by mouse and multiplies it to determine the final distance your cursor moves.

DPI or CPI = Dots/Counts per inch. CPI basically is the number of units the mouse splits an inch into. So if you have a CPI of "1,000" your mouse records 1,000 movement units, and tells the cursor to move 1,000 pixels. So, using an in-game sensitivity of "1.0" and a CPI of "400", if you move your mouse one inch your view will move 400 pixels on your display.

If your sensitivity is too high (above 2.7128 for 1920x1080 displays), you will be unable to move your view by one pixel at a time, even with the slightest movement--this is called "pixel skipping".

Do note that higher DPI is not always better. Certain mice have "native" DPI steps which you should use. Most mice also get tracking errors at lower speeds with higher DPI's. And as was mentioned, on multimonitor displays it can cause your cursor to fly onto the other screen out of game (this can be rectified with an .exe called "CursorLock" btw).

So...use the in-game sensitivity that will allow you to use a native DPI step while keeping your in-game under 2.7128 (for other resolutions, use this to calculate the number).

That's assuming 90° horizontal fov.
Using fov_desired 90 with a 16:9 aspect ratio will give you 106.26° horizontal fov in the source engine. The correct maximum sensitivity is therefore 3.61714.
For fov_desired 75 it's 2.77561.

hfov = fov_desired for 4:3 aspect ratio.
If you're using values other than 90 for fov_desired on 16:9 or have a different aspect ratio like 16:10 or glorious 21:9 use http://www.casualhacks.net/Source-FOV-calculator.html to calculate your real fov.

#54 i52 Media Coverage in TF2 General Discussion

DavidTheWind4m0Appreciate the responses guys. I'm glad pretty much everything I didn't like about the i49 stream is being considered/worked on :)

You could run multiple tf2 instances per computer, ideally one per player pov, and record each of them separately.... perhaps those could be run without the streaming mods etc to save on processing power+make for a different sort of look for those replays. Again, it would be a technical juggle.

Reeeeally excited for the event now guys, thanks everyone!
(Sorry for hijacking your thread Tagg -- I'm also looking forward to what you're cooking up!)
That's too much processing for one computer to do, streaming a single TF2 instance is hard enough, and that entire set up would be way to much to deal with just for replays, we could spend the time elsewhere and gain a better increase in production values.

I've thought about that too, it's definitely possible, but I don't think you have the ressources.
Even if the cameraman/director decides when to play a replay you still need at least one or two additional "cameramen" who capture the replays beforehand, unless you capture all 12 POVs.
Recording 12 POVs would probably be possible, even with only one PC (mine could do it with tf2 capped at 60 fps), but there would be a ton of programming required to make it work* and I doubt it's possible within one month.

*12 instances of tf2 -> hardware encoding (2*NVENC=2*8K) -> LAN -> streaming PC
Getting OBS to put overlay + whatever onto the video would be complicated so the easiest way for the replay would be
file -> decoder (possibly just a player + scripts for quick file/time selection) -> OBS

Use something like sandboxie to run 12 instances of steam+tf2.
Now you "just" need to figure out how to have 12 instances of tf2 run properly (60fps) at the same and get their output into a hardware encoder. Stream the output files to the streaming PC (the files will be huge so don't bother trying if they aren't connected via fiber or LAN). Getting a decoder/player set up with hotkeys/whatever to have quick access to the replays and adding the scene to OBS should be fairly easy compared to that.

#40 New pc is laggy in Hardware

I saw this yesterday and I needed a whole day to calm down.

So someone sold you a new PC, with a 4770K, even though the 4790K is the the same price, with the stock cooler and then didn't manage to install said cooler, that only requires you to slap it on the CPU and then press 4 plastic things until it clicks?

Also, what is it with everyone in here trying to fry their CPU/GPU?
