Hello NextGenUpdate members

Below this text is the exact same specs in my built Gaming rig. I'd like it for you guys to simply rate on the build quality for the price. Thanks. Please realize i'm a massive AMD fan, so no bashing of AMD CPU's in here please. I don't bash Intel, don't bash AMD.

This was one hell of a build, and I loved every second of putting her together. If there's one thing everyone should pick up on, there's no pleasure in buying prebuilts. For god sake buy your own, customize it to what you want it to be, you'll take on way more pride with it after, knowing that your blood/sweat/tears have gone into making that build.

your love for amd is irreverent a gtx 690 bottlenecks a 8150 should have just bought a 7970 or somthing thats the highest a 8150 can support or 2 low end 7850s in crossfire. also you paid $1000 for a 4tb raid i can do that for $250 just as well. also then you bragged that your $5000 computer that gets shit on by a $1500 computer was only 1/4th of your holiday check.

Im liking that Graphics Card. I have a simliar 600 series model but early 600s. Looking into that exact one.

btw You must login or register to view this content. these babies are basically the best ssd you can buy thats not a enterprise

768mb cache which is ddr3 ram btw , also a rock stable marvel controller which keeps up with sandforce speeds without the failure rate you over paid on a lot imo

yea they arn't cheap either. but still the extreme i7s of SSDs for sure

>Spends 5x the amount on a graphics card over a processor
>Still doesn't get intel
>mfw

For the last time, I don't like Intel. I like AMD processors.

She's a tad bit on the pricey side, but she is diffidently worth the extra $$$$.

overclocked 7990's beat them also dont like how the 600 series overclocks themselves most the time it fails and you end up with stuttering on older games 7000's series cards either have flickering issues or random crashing so its what ever you want to deal with and pay for but at $1k a pop id be paying for two 7990's and last ik you cant run more then two would have been better using a tri sli set up of 670's usual dual gpus end up having issues with games in crossfire or sli all my opinion based off facts ive experienced and read and just looking at out right power of individual cards

Never had that problem, if you have OC-Lock enabled it won't do that as it's fast enough.

you prob bought the cheapest 7950 actually never ever buy a powercolor gfx card and they make the 7990s
