Which CPU are you recommending? The title says 4670K but link and price matches the locked 4430.

If that's the case a 3570K will easily outperform that locked down Haswell chip. I'd pair it up with either an Asrock Extreme4M or Asrock Pro 4.

Also not sure why any person using your list would need a 1000W PSU. (Especially some shyt branded Xion :usure:)

My PC with all the shyt in it barely reaches 750W. And that's with everything overclocked and usage maxed at the same time.


people think you need some 1500 watt psu to power shyt but reality is 600-750 watts is the sweet spot still

unless you got a $1000 processor and 4 titans or some shyt then maybe you would want a 1000 watt psu


liquid what build are you doing ?? i5-3570k is a BEAST of a processor, dont save $20 trying to get another i5..

Or an overclocked Bulldozer CPU, :lolbron:

But yeah, typical use for that kind of wattage is Tri-SLI/Tri-Fire configs.

I swore i posted the 4670k up top. I'll update it later. I'm building public wish lists so people can get to it easier tomorrow

I'm contemplating selling my superclocked 570 and getting another card. I don't want to SLI...do you guys encounter too many problems due to SLI like tearing etc. ?

Not really any problems with sli for me. Some stuttering occasionally, but nothing serious, plus drivers fix major issues (Nvidia is pretty good with that shyt)

Steam could allow for game sharing between friends in the future | Polygon

Valve may be planning a new feature for digital download service Steam that will allow users to share their game library with friends, according to code spotted in the latest Steam client beta as reported by Kotaku.

Similar to Microsoft's plans for its Xbox One console, the Steam code suggests users will be able to share owned titles but will not allow users to play the shared games at the same time.

"Just so you know, your games are currently in use by %borrower%. Playing now will send %borrower% a notice that it's time to quit," reads a line of code for one dialogue prompt. Another reads: "This shared game is currently unavailable. Please try again later or buy this game for your own library."

Valve is yet to officially announce sharing and it is unknown whether all developers will be required to allow Steam titles to be shared. We have contacted Valve for comment and will update when further information is made available.
