RE: ASUS Desktop good enough? - TheCapitalFalcon - 10-02-2013
Hey guys
guys
hey guys
hey
I found a build on newegg because TD's warranties wouldn't fit in my low budget
check it out:

What do you guys think? From what I understand the CPU is only SLIGHTLY less powerful than the 4670k and I've seen a few dolphin videos on YT running dolphin on a 3750k just fine at full speeds.
Though if the 4670k is necessary to run games at full speeds then I'll definitely settle for it.

A 4670K is only slightly faster in most applications but in dolphin it is significantly faster (20-30%) for only $25 more. It makes no sense to get an ivy bridge cpu at this point.

In Dolphin Wind Waker Benchmark , i5 4670k is a whole lot faster than i5 3570k . You have to OC i5 3570k to 4.4GHz to beat i5 4670k @ 3.4GHz
Intel HD 4600 is almost 2 times as fast as Intel HD 4000 . Intel HD 4000 can handle 1x or 1.5x Internal Res (~480p) which is crap

Pretty much the same stuff except it includes rockclimb15's build with some extra ram. Grand Total that includes shipping and warranties comes out to be $1,085.33, which I could possibly afford by the end of this month.
If it's a good build for what I'm looking for, then I'll probably stick with it unless there's some special daily deal at newegg for a similar/better combo or something like that that I could buy.
RE: ASUS Desktop good enough? - rokclimb15 - 10-02-2013
How much extra were the warranties? I typically don't buy extra warranties from Newegg. Usually the manufacturer warrants the parts sufficiently.

I guess I never really bothered to check what the manufacture warranties for the products (I guess I should probably get on that).
Also, I like the fact that the warranties cover accidental damage as well, having a warranty like that seems very useful to me, but if the manufacture warranty already covers that, then I guess I shouldn't really worry about the extra ones.
RE: ASUS Desktop good enough? - rokclimb15 - 10-02-2013
They don't typically cover accidental damage, but how would you accidentally damage your desktop components? I wouldn't spring for $140 extra personally. I've never had an item die shortly outside of manufacturer warranty except an external hard drive, which are notoriously bad.
RE: ASUS Desktop good enough? - NaturalViolence - 10-02-2013
I've never had a component die in under 3 years. Extra warranty is pointless.
