[xSHiFTx]

Hello everyone! I will ask OCUK to build THIS system for me. Could you all double check if its good? Also, please help me how could I send this "quote" to the department to get this built, delivered, etc and how do I pay for it?

ALSO, with that DHS GPU, will I receive the mousepad and the sticker, also the free Watch Dogs? Thanks a LOT!

Same bundle smaller psu

Well, I wouldnt want to spend more than 1500 including delivery, assembly, etc.. so its still over my budget. Also 144Hz monitors are only good if you got games running at big FPS's with multi GPU's, for me the normal 60Hz one is more than enough. With my single GPU 144Hz wouldnt give the same quality as it should.

I assembled basically the same and it came out at 1424 so it tops off at 1500 with build, etc..

 

[xSHiFTx]

Hey man it's YOUR pc. You build it exactly how YOU want!

Well, I know. I was just looking to see if everything was OK, I wasnt looking for alternatives in the first place . Since then, I did tweaks to it.

 

[xSHiFTx]

As I said your what you spend you cash is your choice I run a 144hz monitor off of the card in my sig and you do notice the difference not just in the frame rates, but how fast object show up (like in FPS).

Enjoy your new build

That might be my next upgrade then later on, but this time, the 24" will do

 

[xSHiFTx]

It does come with a mouse mat, door sign and 3d mark. Don't remember if I got a sticker.

Ty

 

[xSHiFTx]

And a "tip" since a lot of people don't know. The acrylic that has the iChill DHS symbol on it for you to attach to the card is not scratched up. It's the protective film on it. Take it off and it'll be pristine.

Does the iChill logo and all light up well and look good too?

 

[xSHiFTx]

Is what it looks like it mine.

Nice, it will be nicer when its dark :>

Also, I will be getting the NZXT H440 case, do you think that the window on that will make me able to see my H80i's white light, the Inno3D logo, and the RAM's red lights perhaps? Does it show all the LED components inside the rig? :X

 

[xSHiFTx]

You'll definitely see it, but may I just remind you, Inno3D's RMA system isn't the best. I know you want the card, and don't plan on changing it. But maybe thinking down the line of what happens when the card breaks down.
Same with all the other "fancy" / light up components.

Well, it would be done through OCUK. They will build the system, not me. I just put together the quote.

 

[xSHiFTx]

Yeah, they send the card off to Inno3D to be replaced. I think they have a maximum time of 28 days. Other manufacturers have 48 hour swaps.

Shall I look for some other GTX 780 then? Since this DHS edition is a beast, it has the best performance amongst every GTX 780 :|

 

[xSHiFTx]

Best until it's unstable with the factory overclocks like mine. Resulting in me having to underclock the card.
Not saying that it'll 10% happen, but just saying take a look at other alternatives. I believe Gigabyte's 1Ghz 780 performs roughly the same.
Obviously, it is your build, so go with whatever you want.

Hmm, well thanks for the heads-up. I will see about it.

 

[xSHiFTx]

I just got the DHS edition. It is a beast, I love it!

What games did you play, at what average FPS? Does it perform like a stock 780 Ti nearly?

 

[xSHiFTx]

I generally lock my fps at 60 - but If I remember correctly I was getting late 9,000 on Firestrike. This is on stock speed, and you can also overclock it a bunch more.

I'll run some tests when I get home from work and give you some accurate benchmarks.

Thanks, get those in here ASAP!
