Hardware Building a PC

[Pierit]

Last time?... about 4 years ago I guess. Last time I read up on it was in January to find that they're still saying microstuttering is much less evident in triple-GPU setups than dual-GPU setups. Anyway, most games are not programmed to make use of multiple GPUs, making extras wasted. It really does depend on the needs really, and the advice for gaming has always been to get a single, stronger graphics card instead of two weaker graphics cards in SLI/CrossFire.

The ones worth playing are. Every noteworthy game in the past two years has worked just fine for me, with the exception of Assassin's Creed III, which can be maxed out with a single card.

Edit: After looking at that site, they grossly overcharge for 780s, and a lot of the areas where you can cut cost without sacrificing performance don't have any inexpensive options. So, this was all moot since you can't really fit SLI into a $2000 budget if this site is your only option for ordering.

Nobody said they won't "work just fine". Just that games that are not programmed for multi-GPU setups (and let's face it, mostly only AAA studios would even bother) will not be able to make use for it. That's a little more than half the potential performance from your system, and you're still burning more energy.

And you haven't asked what size monitor he has to even make use of two 780s (what would 780s do for a monitor under 24"?).

Sorry -- by 'work just fine' I meant they all utilize SLI. Every game either A) utilizes SLI or B) can be maxed out with a single card. Not buying a 2nd card due to the fact that the less demanding games won't utilize it is silly when there are a boatload of games that would.

For monitor, with a $2000 budget you could purchase a 120/144hz or 1440p monitor. But, referring to my edit in my previous post, the site he's using doesn't have many options, so it's hard to make good use of the $2000. I guess I was assuming they'd have a bigger selection and prices more similar to the US market.

Well i found few more sites and i agree that everything is overpriced here. Even if the pc is under 2000 $ i pay 2500 for it.

and i also have this site : http://www.vatanbilgisayar.com/

u select the parts and they sent you the pc ready including windows. its cheaper than others

google translate required for it but if its hard to understand dont bother with it

I built my current PC there too. Worked flawlessly for the past 5 years.

Edit: For 2500$

I'll have a look at the sites when I'm home. In the meanwhile, you could try making a build yourself and posting it for critique.

Hows this? I used my own knowledge but i think i scrwed xD

Edit: TL is 2x of USD
Ex:100$ is 200TL

For the most part it is good. I have to ask though, how is your audio equipment?

Not very fancy. I will get a logitech around 30 $

Then forget about that Soundblaster X-FI. You ain't going to get much improved audio from Logitech, negating much of the benefit from external DAC.

Also I don't see the motherboard.

Dunno it didnt asked about motherboard lol. Im not good at motherboards anyway

So you intend to buy an extra monitor along with your PC? And fan controls? And a sound card? Interesting...
For the motherboard, since you're getting a i5-3570K, the Asus Maximus V Gene is highly recommended.

Not an extra monitor. Only 1. But i still need help about this :/ i dont really know about best parts for my budget.

Can you list what Z77 motherboard you can buy at Turkey? That probably will help narrowing down the option.

As for sound card, I once advocated sound card/DAC regardless speaker. Now I taken a difference stance on it. I don't recommend you get a sound card unless you have good speaker and/or headphone to go with it (and Logitech doesn't make "good" speaker/headphone to begin with). There is definitely some degree of clarity improvement even on cheapo Logitech speaker, but the improvement is rather small.

I can get most of them since they order all the parts from another country.
