New computer being built for upcoming PC titles!

ahaha, well true at that. thats why i noted it was optional if you dont plan on getting an add-on sound card.

I wanted to write a long reply but I've decided to just say Good luck and have fun releasing magic smoke.

Magic smoke? Are you trying to imply my rig will blow up?
That is so funny that I'll have this buddy do my laughing for me.

--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 01:10:04 PM ---...why does the 1055T beat it out in applications?
--- End quote ---
The above speaks for itself.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 18, 2011, 01:49:34 PM ---True, a 965BE can also be overclocked well to 4GHz, but it only has 4 cores. I can Overclock my 1055T to 4GHz... and I bought the extra cooling equipment to get benchmark results that show that the 1055T is very beastly when overclocked while using multi-thread friendly applications (which most games these days take advantage of).
--- End quote ---
Oh hey, you do realize that the 965 can be overclocked, too! Also, you might want to take another look at these games you think will be making good use of all cores on a hexa.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 02:08:01 PM ---I'll try out 4.0 GHz... but to run it from day to day.. I'll probably only do 3.4 GHz.
--- End quote ---
Well, so much much for all the "extra cooling equipment" to support a 4GHz overclock on the 1055T; if all you're doing is matching the 965BE's stock clock speed then you're comparing apples to oranges (well, you are anyhow, but setting that aside for now), you should compare the theoretical OCed clock speeds on the 1055 with theoretical OCed clock speeds on the 965 before drawing conclusions. This would be a good time to note that a 965BE is likely to be rather comfortable hanging out around 4GHz on less-than-stellar air cooling setups.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 18, 2011, 01:49:34 PM ---6 GBs of RAM is plenty enough for now (I would never be using that extra 2 GBs anyways).
--- End quote ---
Nor will you be using the third 2GB module when gaming.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 18, 2011, 01:49:34 PM ---Do your research, cause I did. 8)
--- End quote ---
Doing research and correctly interpreting it are two entirely different things.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 06:08:01 PM ---I didn't ask people to tear apart my build and say "You can get this and this and this and you'll have a better system!" Yeah... at an extra $100
--- End quote ---
Uh, thus far all the the constructive suggestions have been attempting to save you money while resulting in a system that's better equipped as a gaming rig.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 06:08:01 PM ---My problem with the 965 BE isn't that it it's not good enough for me, it's that the overclocking potential is easier to perform.
--- End quote ---
Whoa, whoa, whoa... Did you just say what I think you said? That overclocking potential is more accessible on the 1055T? Otherwise you were saying the easier overclocking of the 965BE is the problem you have with it. Either way, this doesn't make one damn scrap of sense. Are you even reading what you've typed, or even thinking about it as you type it? It's as if your hands and keyboard are in cahoots to produce this text vomit that's been engineered to undermine your own points.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 06:08:01 PM ---The only difference is the clock speed. If the clock speed was level between the 1055T and the 965BE, the 1055T would outperform it (cause it has more cores).
--- End quote ---
This is entirely moot since the 965BE will clock higher than the 1055T can hope to get with less effort, and once again, please take another look at identifying games that are actually going to effectively utilize four cores, much less six.
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 19, 2011, 06:08:01 PM ---So yes, I think I got my answer of the setup will run most (if not all) games on high setting, especially since I'm doing mild OC'ing to around 3.4 GHz on the 1055T.
--- End quote ---
Upon further thought, and with the exception of SWTOR, I think an Xbox360 might be the best bet for your gaming hardware needs~
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 17, 2011, 05:32:15 PM ---My question to you all is, will the above products work well at running those games I've stated at high setting (maybe not ultra) and still get a moderately good framerate above 40 fps?
--- End quote ---
Yes, it'll probably manage 40fps just fine with sane graphics settings in the games you listed, but you can achieve better results for less money with different hardware.
Just now I noticed that these posts are all past tense in regards to your order:
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 17, 2011, 08:33:32 PM ---The 1055T X6 that I went (with) is knee deep in Xeon territory...
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 17, 2011, 08:33:32 PM ---My entire setup that I bought cost me $500 and I'll be able to play games at max setting for at least a year or two.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote from: TMRNetShark on September 17, 2011, 10:04:45 PM ---As for running stuff, I think I should be safe with the hardware I bought for some time.

So as early as three hours after your original post you'd already ordered your components. Despite that, you continue to let people waste their time trying to help you for another two pages, all the while telling them that they're wrong in rather condescending tone as you attempt to justify and defend your lulzy hardware selection? Why couldn't you have just put this thread out of it's fscking misery on page one with a simple post to the effect of, "Hey guys, thanks for input, but I just pulled the trigger and submitted my order"?
Are you hungry for attention, or is there something you enjoy making an arse of yourself? Voluntarily dragging out a couple more pages of spouting misinterpreted benchmarks as citations for your horribly ass-backwards misconceptions about computer hardware... I never post on BBT, nor will I again for a long time to come, but your condescending attitude towards the people who were offering extremely valid constructive criticism rubbed me the wrong way. Then I was rather vexed once I realized you were wasting people's time—having already pulled the trigger—and then talking down to them.
If staff has mercy on us they'll kill this thread before it victimizes anyone else who's unable to overlook it. God knows I wish I'd been able to /ignore it...
