Yeah I noticed they were expensive. Just a gimmick then? Might get a desktop if I get my own apartment eventually. |

Actually I found this, much better for same price (bc I have to pay $90 shipping instead $200 in local sales tax) http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/#load go to load configuration and code is 1FE0FQ The graphics card is a little bit lower, but really it's good enough. |

ok i searched just a bit more just to compare laptop performance with desktop, you know, to be safe. the graphics chip on the asus laptop just doesn't compare with desktop video cards gs are you satisfied with your current desktop set up? in terms of power and such? how much did it cost you? is the ssd really worth it? for 60€ you get 1 Tb on a classic hard drive and for 70€ you get 60 Gb for an ssd drive. the price difference is ridiculous why i7 btw? do you use the extra power it giveS? after some research it seems anyone who builds gaming pc flames the shit out of the i7 Edited by Incog, Sep 9 2013, 01:01 PM.

been thinking a bit and after some research i'm thinking of a build along these lines: i5 processor. don't want something too expensive for power i'm not going to use HD 7950 gfx card; apparently it's super cost efficient: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+7950&id=325 but i might opt for GTX 600 Ti instead normal hard drive. unless someone convinces me that an SSD is somehow REALLY worth it, i'm not going to buy something that expensive not sure about motherboard and power, what should i be looking for?

I had a 7950 aslong as you don't buy the XFX version it should be good. Need to RMA my XFX 7950... The SSD is only for the OS in most cases, you don't necessarily need it. |

it's not a gaming pc, i just want it to be fast. i did get 2 video cards 1 of which hasn't worked from the start but i've been too lazy to do anything about it plus i can still max everything anyway. it cost me 1000€ but iirc that includes the 200€ screen, and that was a year ago so it'll be alot cheaper now the ssd is very worth it. obviously get a normal HD next to it, and get like 128gb ssd. put your windows and some games you play often on ssd, use the other one for mass storage. works like a charm. really, you underestimate the convenience of a pc that boots in 10 seconds and reboots in 15... plus the games you put on the ssd load way faster |

SO expensive though if it's only for booting and game loading times, i'll pass. i know it's really good, but i won't get one because if i do i'll get addicted to it i'll buy more expensive computer parts when i start working as of now i worked out a build at ~800$ which is idk how many euros, depends on prices in France http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1BMAS watcha think? |

can't really say, i'm not up to date on current hardware prices. though if you wanna be cost effective i don't agree with nvidia. HD 7950 is probably the best choice. |

Don't forget to change to France unless your importing from the US and pay the ~20% VAT. Also the PSU is one of the most important parts of your PC, don't skimp, and if you plan to upgrade parts later, you may have to get a bigger PSU anyways. Also does all that stuff run on 450W? |

i looked up 660 ti vs 7950 most sources seemed to indicate that overall 660 ti was slightly better. the difference in price is also slight. i'm buying my stuff from amazon: 7950 lowest i can find is 209€: http://www.amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?__mk_fr_FR=%C3%85M%C3%85Z%C3%95%C3%91&url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=radeon%20hd%207950&sprefix=Radeon+%2Ccomputers%2C165&rh=i%3Acomputers%2Ck%3Aradeon%20hd%207950 for the card i'm buying i'm at 226€ processor is so expensive that i want to save money on it but i'm not sure what to look for tbh |

yeh ichi i got ya covered dw as for PSU, the site says that i'll use approximately 326W, so using 430W PSU seems to be ok? anyway i used a different one because i couldn't find anything else in France; new slightly modified build is this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1BNca amazon gives me this: http://i.imgur.com/6IEuos4.png 682€ for the whole deal. i already have a 500 GB hard drive Edited by Incog, Sep 9 2013, 04:21 PM.

Doesn't the XFX version just have 2 fans instead of one and very slight overclocking? Edited by Jam, Sep 9 2013, 06:10 PM.

8.6 inches long for the card and the case measures 16.53" x 6.88" x 13.97" inches so it should be fine |
