Ugh. Building this secondary PC has been a nightmare.
At first today I was going to install the mobo and such in the case, had the cooler backplate mounted and when I looked in the box i realized there is no I/O shield, so a bit frustrated I took the 45m drive back to microcenter and they took a I/O shield from a open box mobo, I ended up picking up the 4670K while I was there as well. So I take the hour and 1/2 drive home. I assembled everything on my test bench and found out the main PCI-E x16 slot is defective on the mobo, it will not recognize my 7950 at all, so I inserted it into the second PCE-E X16 slot and it was reconized and installed right away.......
So now I have to take another 45-1 hour drive across the bridge to PA and it will be third time and 15 dollars combined to get over the bridge just to return this mobo. I should be compensated for my bridge tolls because this is ridiculous.
I got a question if anybody can help me out on.. I'm planning to buy a premade steambox, the digital storm bolt 2. It's a dual booted system with steam and windows 8, now I know steam is downloaded games so I got that down. But what about windows 8 type of games? Do they come on discs only and I insert them in the cd reader, or does windows 8 games have a download service too? I'm confused as in which games are supported by which format only. That's why I wanna get a dual boot gaming pc
I just have the "upgrade itch". My rig is fine though lol. I will be upgrading around the time Witcher 3 releases though.
The above machine was built for less than the price of an Xbox One BTW.
'bbbbbuutttt.....that is impossible! Why don't you add in the ENTIRE cost!'
....LOL. Am I doing it right?
"PC partpicker is the end all of pricing out a PC!!!! anything else is a jumbled together mess!!!"
Yeah...I LOL'd at that post.
Pure hilarity.
My comp, yeah it kinda dirty but...
What resolution are you looking to run?So I'm kinda tempted to grab another 7950 for my rig to go X-fire. Is it worth the hassle?
As I would have to upgrade my PSU to handle them and the HIS cards are to heavy so they flex when warmed up, So mounting both cards with the support would be a ball ache so I'm weighing up my options.

If you are playing at 1080p or lower I would say the general consenus would be no and to just sell you card and get a R9 290 or something along those lines if you wanted to stay with AMD, if you are playing at higher than 1080p I would definitely say yes. R9 290's are massive bang for buck GPU's and can be had on Ebay used for less than 300 bucks.
1080p
I was thinking either go X-fire or wait for the 780ti cards to come down in price.
yea if I were you I would sell your 7950 and go r9 290(non x)
Oh btw just thought I would drop this here I have a friend who is selling his superclocked evga 770 4gb for $340.
I think his version is like $400 bucks brand new so if anybody is interested just hit me up.
Specs of your machine?
Loved my 770's when I had them but they are no longer a valid option in the market IMO, a 4GB 770 costs 400 dollars or more, you could get a r9 290 which alot faster that still has the 4GB VRAM. Glad I was able to sell both of mine before AMD's cards came back to retail prices.
