Waco Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 IMO it's a waste of money for a gaming build. Also, what's a 790? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 So you're 2-3 months out from building? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporX Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 This build is way overkill and more a bragging rights than efficient gaming build. What monitor and resolution are you looking to use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Understood, but since you're building a gaming rig why are you getting a 4960X? Especially for 1920x1080 gaming... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Understood, but since you're building a gaming rig why are you getting a 4960X? Especially for 1920x1080 gaming... Because why not ? It's only overkill if you can't afford it But I have no idea what you are doing with a Rampage IV Gene in a massive case like the HAF-X...
