Thank you everyone for the advice, as you can see I'm well out of the loop at the moment. I'll take a backseat and wait for the new releases & benchmarks to see which to go with, then post again once I know which way I'm going.

Sorry about that, forgot to mention. Thanks for the advice, it did take a full clean reinstall of the drivers to fix the issue, even that failed once and I had to reinstall MVC++ again x'D Still a super weird occurrence, the settings appear to be exactly the same when I installed it again as...

I'm totally not sure if this is a Windows issue or a AMD software issue, so I'll attempt to post this here. I just tried connecting my PC (via my GPU HDMI) to my 4KTV. I had trouble making AMD & Windows recognise it as either HDR, or 4K60 (even though I did manage it briefly once before), so...

Hey everyone, I'm wanting to finally build a stronger rig, going with AMD this time, and would appreciate help on scouting components and making sure everything is fine together and all that. For starters, I'm going to salvage what I can of the old rig, and then later down the line keep that as...

Are you recommending spending 400 on a sub alone? I could spend more if needed, but I don't need anything too fancy, can't bring the walls down :p Seems like everyone is in agreement in regards to the sub, I'll eye another, but unfortunately, the Wharfedale one looks a tad too large width wise...

Okay, after my thread last Friday, I did some more research, and due to the lack of any decent looking HTiB's, I've relented to the fact that even a 2.0-2.1 system will sound much better than one of those, and leave me able to expand to 5.1 in the future. It'll be used for movies, TV, PS4 & PC...

Talk about an eye opener! Thanks everyone for the input so far. I never considered separate parts, so that's intriguing. However, the old "1000w" 5.1 sounds amazing to me, so I'm guessing that's just a slither of what sound systems can actually offer then xD As far as budget, spending...

Hey everyone! I've been looking around for a new cinema system, specifically 5.1, and with front and rear tallboy speakers. And that, seems to be a problem, as most newer systems seem to prefer small satellites for the rear speakers, which is horribly inconvenient (why are they doing that? xD)...

I was thinking the same but with how SLI can be with some games, and with the 980 being a better single GPU card, I personally think the 980 is more worth it, and it seems the consensus on other forums as well when people discussed the same thing :/

Sorry, I totally fudged up there, I'm not sure why. :p After some hard thinking, I don't think I'm ever going to go more than 2 way SLI, so with the cheaper CPU, I could go 980 SLI, but really not worth it XD

Well, for me, I think this: 1 x G.Skill Ripjaws 4 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15 2666MHz Quad Channel Kit - Red (F4-2666C15Q-16GRR) £299.99 The Ripjaws have the better latency than the Doms I have to say I'm edging towards the Ripjaws as I prefer the specs to price ratio... but I've...

Okay, so with these in mind: 1 x Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15 2666MHz Quad Channel Kit (CMD16GX4M4A2666C15) £329.99 1 x Crucial Ballistix Elite 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit £329.99 1 x G.Skill Ripjaws 4 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-21300C15...

I need the extra threads for the massive amount of rendering and design work I do. When rendering work in 2-4K, it will ccome in handy and save me time. This isn't just a game rig :) Thanks for the spec. I'm willing to pay the extra £15 for the case I want (vanity I know) but overall it's...

What ho everyone! Now that the GTX980 is on the cards, I updated my X99 build. I removed the Gsync monitor for now as I don't really need one (and could almost buy a second GTX980 for the price) and chose a different mobo and ram. I want opinions on to what you would change with this build. -...

Yep, I've always found OCUK's staff to have great attitudes and service, and even though I prefer to build my own rigs, I have sent a few friends to OCUK to build them their rigs, and they got brilliant results every time :D

He just needs to make sure his cheap black market surgeon doesn't wire his kidney and bladder up back to front ;D

Thanks for the advice guys! It seems I shall wait for the 980 then! @Bart_Hunt: I wasn't planning to game on 4k res with this, some renders will be unscaled to 2-4k as I do at the moment from 1080. This provides better quality on the end product in regards to YouTube videos, as 1080p...

Simply, with X99, I want to finally build a new rig and replace my old monitor in the process (use the old one as a second monitor). I went with the Kraken OCUK GPU as I wanted a closed looped water cooled system vs doing it yourself. Not sure if I'd need the £430 i7 as there's a £300 i7...

Currently, I'm using the Samsung SyncMaster BX2331 that I've had for 3 years now, and never noticed this before until I finally decided to run Tomb Raider 2013 that's been rotting in my Steam library for an eternity lol. Obviously a simple screen grab wouldn't show the issue I'm having, so I had...

Thanks for all the advice. Yes, that CPU would be a nice cheap solution until the new tech is released :D Just wondering though, what do you think the cost would be for the Gigabyte X99 mobo, average cost of DDR4 RAM, say 16gb or 32gb and the lowest Haswell E cpu, which is rumoured to be a 6 core?
