My new PC arrived (custom built)! :D
It costed me like $3,000. lol
yea im one of those nerd custom pc builders ok
V Tech Specs (don't need to read this part, but for all those who are interested lol) V <3
- AMD R9 270X Gigabyte version Overclocked - AMD FX-9370 (AMD's newest processors in the market) It's also the first CPU to reach 5.0GHz ever, this processor wasn't cheap though, and it's REALLY power-hungry, more power-hungry than most graphic cards.. ^ Stock clock: 4.5 and overclocking support to 5.2GHz. - To cool down my processor I went with a water cooler (H80I from Corsair) - 16GB RAM running at 1866MHz. - Gigabyte motherboard (forgot what's it's called but it's one of their high end ones) - Monitor: 27' from BenQ. - 2 TB of storage, and SSD for Windows.
And than with that all I get $250 games worth for free. Like BF4, Ghosts, Crysis 3, and 2 more titles of my choice. |

Should have went with a 3770K/4770K at that price or just a 8350, the 9370 is honestly a 8350 that's been picked for overclocking.
You also way way over pay'd, the specs you just said should have costed 2K Max. There was also pretty much no reason to get a very high end Motherboard, something $110-160 will do the same trick for overclocking as one that's $200+.
Also why did you go with a medium level GPU rather than a high end one such as a 780 or 290X considering your spending quite a sum. |

| The Titan wasn't primarily developed as a gaming card, it was only advertised as one. Now being said, it's still a beast but it's better suited for heavy photo/video editing/rendering. |

People say the 9370 is the overclock version of 8350, but it's not true because I can overclock the 9370 to 5.2GHz.
And the R9 270X Gigabyte overclocked version, so I get the most performance out of it, I still wanted to be under $3,000 though. The 27-X is considered a high-end "sweet" spot.
And I also got a powerful power supply in-case I want to upgrade in the future, I can...
Going with a high-end motherboard gave me a few flexabilty in the near future whenever I need to upgrade, it's easier too. |

| Crym, no, just no. A TITAN is a 1 grand card and yet it gets out-performed by GTX 780 and 780TI. |

I hate to break it to you but AM3+ is a dead socket now, the FX-9000's series are the last CPU's on the socket so that Motherboard will become useless if you want to upgrade CPU.
Also you pay'd awfully alot for these components, way too much in my opinion, where did you customize this PC at? |

NCIX.
But I'm not talking about CPU upgrades, I'm talking about GPU upgrades because most games will be using more GPU than the CPU.
I also needed the extra cores in order to run PhysiX in a AMD based system, so that's one of the many reasons I choose that CPU. I want to be able to run PhysX on max settings. |
