Anyone want to get my desktop pc off my hands?

Hello, have a gaming desktop that I want to get rid of for a gaming laptop.

Reason is all I play is Dota 2. Honestly that is it lol.

These are the components! Everyone was bought a year ago in August. Everything works, I'm just looking for a gaming laptop since all I do is Dota2..


MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-
MSI Z77 MPOWER LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge Quad-Core 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics ...
Cooler Master Seidon 120M – All-In-One CPU Liquid Water Cooling System with 120mm Radiator and Fan
Fractal Design Define R4 with Window Titanium Grey Silent ATX Mid Tower Case
There are no problems what so ever. It runs everything and the most intesive game I've ran is Battlefield 4, Skyrim, and Metro all on Ultra!
LMK if you need more details this was all built in August of last year
I also have X Star 1440P gaming monitor. Not sure if I want to get rid of it though, so lmk if there are any offers either gaming laptop or money!
I inlcuded the pictures othe PC running. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/oTp2hQ6.jpg[IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vNxfKb2.jpg[IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/h1NgXCE.jpg[IMG][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zBaDIxz.jpg/IMG]

Are you willing to sell in pieces? How much for the X Star and is it glossy or matte screen?

Go into display and set the 24in as your main monitor then extend the display to your 17in monitor.

Not when you put it that way. Try this instead:

For Sale: PC in excellent condition. Hardly use, etc. Feature include: XYZ, etc.

Also, we don't really need to know why you're selling it. However, to your credit, you included photos. Good luck.

Would i need a bigger PSU to upgrade to a 770?

My current one is 450 watts

[ahyp]

Just built this for my office, yolo. Impulse build.

I just made my build but it has a MSI 770 in it. What can I do to get a 970? I've had it for like 3 days - didn't know the **** was coming out soon.

[Cinderblock]

After almost a year of just being patient and waiting I have FINALLY pulled the trigger. I just ordered these parts. I just have to wait for either ASUS STRIX or MSI 970 to go back in stock.

My SSDs cost more than your entire rig.

[workinithard]

So I have been having some troubles with my computer that I built. I have been using it for about a month and everything was running fine. I moved out of my apartment put it in storage and did put it down kind of hard on accident but nothing looks broken. It also sat in storage for 2 weeks, and it did get kind of warm So Cal, 112 degrees. I brought it back home hooked everything up and it was running good. But sometimes it seems like slow, or laggy. I play ArmA 3, and when I click to open the program, it loads up but once it gets passed the initial load screen, nothing happens. I click it again and it says cant open while already open. I also tried to CTRL+ALT+DELT, and it wouldn't open up. Anyone have any off the top of your head ideas?

[KRANE]

Quadro card brah checkin in. You GeForce guys are so lucky


How it works

My current one is 450 watts

770's need at least a 600w psu.

[EnglishBadTeeth]

Just won this in a competition...


Intel Core i5 4690K @4.3ghz OC
Corsair H55 watercooling
Gigabyte Z97X-SLI
Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Corsair 2x4GB Vengeance 2133Mhz
Crucial M.2 128GB
1TB S-ATAIII HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 4GB
Corsair CS650M PSU (Gold Rated / Modular)
Corsair Carbide Spec-01 Case
Iiyama XU2390HS 23″ Slim Bezel LED
Gigabyte Force K3 Keyboard
Gigabyte Force M7 Mouse

but can it run Crysis?
does gtx770 run much better/hotter than a 270x anyone know? Archeage is making my 270x like a furnace, even 70C at 70% fan speed.

[Avianize]

Going to be getting a GTX 970 soon. Dat price to performance ratio.

Just got to wait till they are not all sold out/

[COFFEEMUG]

I just made my build but it has a MSI 770 in it. What can I do to get a 970? I've had it for like 3 days - didn't know the **** was coming out soon.

If you bought it recently I'd try to return the 770 if you can. Otherwise you can sell your 770 used and put the money toward a 970.

Just bad timing on the build mane! Shoulda asked in here. We've been advising people to hold off on getting a GPU for close to a month now.

So I have been having some troubles with my computer that I built. I have been using it for about a month and everything was running fine. I moved out of my apartment put it in storage and did put it down kind of hard on accident but nothing looks broken. It also sat in storage for 2 weeks, and it did get kind of warm So Cal, 112 degrees. I brought it back home hooked everything up and it was running good. But sometimes it seems like slow, or laggy. I play ArmA 3, and when I click to open the program, it loads up but once it gets passed the initial load screen, nothing happens. I click it again and it says cant open while already open. I also tried to CTRL+ALT+DELT, and it wouldn't open up. Anyone have any off the top of your head ideas?

Is this only happening in ArmA3? If you have another game you should try it as well, just to see if maybe something got screwed up in the ArmA3 install.

If this happened after a move you were on the right track looking for physical problems. Double check all connectors and seating.

Make sure the fans are turning (while its on) and that nothing is blocked up with dust. Moving can dislodge a chunk of dust that was just sitting there and lock up a fan.

If you put it down too hard it's possible a heatsink got dislodged or is not in contact with a chip. Check all temps.

Last case, if you still can't figure out whats going on, take it completely apart, check for damage, and re-assemble it.

If you haven't placed the order yet, swap out that SSD for this one for only $10 more.

I like where this is going. More pics of the final product when it's done

[Conquer92]

MY FIRST BUILD!

Very happy with how everything turned out.
There is practically no space in the rear to hide wiring. So I had to run the power cable through the front.

[KilaByte]

What case is that?

[Conquer92]

What case is that?

RAIDMAX Atlas-295WB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811156247

Was $20 when I got it after rebates. For the price, it was a great buy. If you want great wire management, this case is not the best. I had to get creative and tuck the wires behind the lower hard drive bays.

Do you guys use an antivirus or internet security program? I currently use the free Avast!, but my friend from Intel said it's kind of resource heavy. He said he uses Trend Micro Internet Security. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm on Windows 8.1 I have no clue what happened, but I can't delete any programs from programs/features. Like nothing shows up that I have installed in there. I think I have to format, again :-/

I use Panda on my file server and laptop. My desktop has Nod32.

[Primobrah]

How long do you think it will be before 970's are back in stock?

[Cinderblock]

Which version of windows do you guys use? I have 7, but I'm apprehensive to put 8.1 in my new build. I want to go with 7, and then upgrade to 9 when it comes out.

I'll check out Nod32. Thanks bro
