Sponsored By This is my first massive build, I am constructing a new desk to house 2 separate computers, one for Gaming and the other as a small home server. the desk itself will house 2 computers one on either side of the desk and in the middle all the HDD's from both computers. On display will also feature water-cooling reservoirs and multiple temperature LCD's. The Water cooling of the rig will Chanel down under the desk into 2 large radiators that will be housed inside a tiny fridge to keep the water temps down around 0-10 degrees Celsius. Rig 1 (gaming) Mobo: ASUS Rampage IV CPU: Intel Core i7 3820 Ram: undecided will be either corsair or g.skill PSU: OCZ fatal1ty 750W GPU: 1x Gainward GTX680 HDD: 2x Samsung 840pro 256gb SSD running of a raid card HDD: WD 2tb Green Rig 2 (Media Server) Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth x58 CPU: Intel Core i7 930 Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 12gb @1600mhz PSU: Thermaltake 450W GPU: EVGA GTX 550ti HDD: Corsair Force 60GB SSD HDD: 2x WD 3TB Green HDD: 1x Hitachi 2TB HDD: 1x WD 1TB Green so here is the start of the desk and some of the parts that have arrived will keep you updated as i work on it.

Hello Overclockers! Having just joined I would like to say hi before I ask about my build. I will be using this build for primarily gaming, movie watching, and web browsing. Please let me know if I can save some money without sacrificing quality or performance. Hoping this build will be able to slay Witcher 3 and Battlefield 4 on max settings. I put the 850w power supply in because I plan on doing sli when this build starts to wane on performance. Plan on overclocking the CPU to around 4.0-4.2, nothing serious. Probably will leave the GPU as is. Just going to use my Sidewinder X6 keyboard and X5 mouse since I am so used to them and like them. Thank you.

Hello guys. I have these specs Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit Biostar A780L Mobo AMD Phenom II x4 965 (planning to buy) AMD Radeon HD 6750 1.5GB Memory: 2GB of RAM I tried to play Assassin's Creed 3 but as soon as I got off the boat(landing to Boston), I have been experiencing heavy lag and low fps. Currenlt, I have an unlocked AMD Athlon II X2 4400e (Sempron 140 before )processor. I thought that this low-end processor might have caused the problem. So, I decided to upgrade it along with the generic PSU. But I have read some forums saying that the game was poorly optimized. Even for the high-end PC builds had terrible problems. It seems that it cause quite a rage to fans and the players. But it seems everything runs well on the multiplayer. Is this true? Plus, it seems ubisoft is really ignoring this issue. It's almost 3 months and there is no news so far. I have a friend that has an i7 laptop. He said he gets to play it smoothly he had these specs MSI (GT780Dx-i7385+) i7 2630M , 8Gb, 500Gb, GTX 570M 3.0Gb GDDR5 Do I have any hope on playing this game smoothly? By smoothly, I do not mean extremely-silky-smoothly. Smoothly like normal will be more than enough for me. Thanks for your help.
