But what about Ultra High end? Some of us have a flagrant disregard for our bank accounts and only the best most unnecessarily expensive hardware will do.


Buy the most of the most expensive thing you can, sell it and buy the next thing when it comes out. I wrote the guide. :nerd:

Funny, just a month before this guide was released, i helped a friend built the exact mid solution suggested in this guide (aside from ssd, as he wanted to keep his current hdd).

Imo if you are on a budget, 4670k / 4690k + 280x is unbeatable... if you cant afford that hardware, then id save up, rather than buying something cheaper, which will be much worse.

Guru3D.com PC Buyers Guide Summer Edition 2014

now this is what I like reading :) i bought my gigabyte gtx 970 g1's based on your review of them. more than pleased with the gigabyte gtx970 g1's .. its put gigabyte up a notch on my gfx brand choice in fact to first choice.

all in all for the new to the scene person who's looking to get there hands into the box, good guide.

with a lot of gfx card reviews they always seem to have the test system OC'd which is fine to test what the max you can get out of the whole system although for those of us who don't OC their CPU it would be nice to see reviews include default cpu, ram and gpu settings no OC anywhere. its kind of funny how my system build came to what i have now, some people would think why have an Maximus Hero VI with an i7-4770 and not the K version, for me it was because i owned 2 r9 290x's and they increased motherboard heat the pc was not intended for gaming but for Mining so i just opted for a brand i have mostly used for the past 14 years and i trust which is ASUS and knowing that the ASUS Maximus Hero VI is an OC'ers board my thinking behind it was if it can handle the heat and stress of OCing then it should be 100% reliable for 24/7 intensive crypto mining work, at default voltage, mhz setting for everything, it just gave me peace of mind worrying about the effect of long term heat which may cause issue later down the road.
money is not an never ending supply for me so i tend to try and look after what i buy, i always feel im just killing my cpu quicker lol but i don't fully understand how safe/unsafe OCing is the in long term ?
