My Rigs

Nice Build mate! If you had a little extra cash then I think it would be worth your time to pick up an ssd. The Samsung 850 EVO 250GB is only 80 bucks on amazon right now.

Not an SSD fan. I got a 840 and it stopped working after 3 months. I think it will be a while before I go with an SSD again

Update:

Just bought the parts! And after some looking around, for pushing games on ultrawide monitors, the 980 Ti seemed the best.

Heres the parts and breakdown of the parts I chose:

4790k: At the time, it was the cheapest i7 CPU for the 1150, and ironically the best. 4GHz and hyperthreading, what more can you ask for

H97M mITX Mobo. Durable mITX mobo, and since Im not an OC fan, no need for Z97

RAM: My cousins giving it to me

Cryorig C1: Great mITX CPU cooler

Silverstone SFX PSU: 600 Watts, 80+ Gold, and fits in my case

RAVEN case: Pretty much the size of a console, will make so easy to bring with me when I travel

980 Ti: Powerful GPU, can easily push 2k resolutions, and EVGA has there card clocked higher then most of the other ones by 100MHz

HDD: I love Hitachi HDDs, and I need the storage of a 2TB HDD

Monitor: Its an Ultrawide monitor, so it will help alot with my programming and other college work

Got a new one a about a week and a half ago.

GPU: Err... Intel GMA 3000? (Not HD 3000)
Motherboard: Who knows.. It's a Dell... lol

Intel all the way

 

[Rich Fireskull]

Intel all the way

Basically. My main rig uses an AMD cpu and even that it several years old (the not the actual chip, but the original model) My best intel computers... My XPS 700 with e6400 C2D at 2.13Ghz and a small computer I use as a hackintosh that has an Intel Q8300 @ 2.5Ghz.

If I had the money, I would most likely get an i5 on a budget or i7 if going all out.

 

[Joshua Daggerfire]

AMD Zen is coming soon. I hope it lives up to the hype

EDIT
By soon, I mean this year, and hopefully

For desktops, I couldnt honestly tell you. Prefer to build my own. Saves more money

Got a new graphics card

So my rig is now:

Processor: Intel i5-4690k - Quardcore @ 3.5 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR3
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Pro4 ATX board
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1070
HDD: 2 TB Seagate
OS: Windows 10 Home

all my cooling equipment is stock since I don't do any OC and I've never seen much point to change the fact that I don't since my system runs fine as is and for cooling purposes without the OC, my system keeps a pretty cool temp.

Woohoo! How's that 1070 holding up for you? I'll be buying one for myself in the coming weeks.

 

[David Yellowhound]

What are your guys thoughts about the AMD RX480? I find it pretty interesting seeming how I honestly thought they were done making anything competitive, but out the blue they come out with a $200 VR capable card. Will you stick with the green team or maybe try out the red team this time?

 

[Solomon Warshot]

It's been doing well. It holds a steady 60+ FPS in all my games with everything turned on so it's neat-o.

I definitely would've gone Red team this time around but I had the money so I went ahead and went green but I definitely recommend for those wanting to get the best "bang for their buck" in graphics cards to go for AMD's new RX series.
