more like next month they are already in some releases of new laptops..

nvidia never introduces a new series in fall.. always spring for like the past 4 or so generations in a row

edit - heres a laptop with a 850 in it;

Knock $16 off that hard drive price breh and put that towards a better GPU or a case or something...

http://www.goharddrive.com/White-Label-1TB-32MB-Cache-7200RPM-SATA-Hard-Drive-p/g01-0096.htm

Been buying hard drives from them for years...only 1 failed out the box.

That PSU is bronze certified, but pretty good build

TBH with the budgets these cats want to spend on here? I would suggest AMD to keep the budget low...

theres no AMD processor out there fukkin with i5-4570 let alone at that price of $200

and AMD cards were better at that price range by a large margin until bit coin mining fukked up AMD pricing

I was searching hard as hell to find an AMD card as good or better than the 660 GTX under $200

Nah the GPU is straight, I would personally grab an AMD board and cpu to knock that price down a bit tho.

It's not about having the best CPU you possibly can...any fairly recent AMD Quad will be fine with games and you know it

You might be able to squeeze in a 760 if you go AMD...

have you read up on the i5-4570 ? Tomshardware said they couldnt even justify paying for i7-3770k or i7-4770k since the new i5s came out

I just cant justify saving $50 to get a way worse processor

I mean saving $50 you go from top tier to middle or bottom tier.. I just cant justify it... $150 price difference? Like when were talking about i7-3770ks vs fx-8350s and shyt

no AMD + 760 combo will out perform the i5-4570 + 660 gtx combo

games are pretty much allergic to AMD processors at this point in time


honestly; for $50 if they got the i5-4570 + 760 GTX combo itd be just a notch below top tier

LINK? I DOUBT IT

Don't link some shytty APU + 760 either

well how about you find an AMD + 760 GTX combo that out performs the i5-4570 + 660 GTX

So you lied? LOL

I think for a botleneck you will have to start looking at a GTX 780 or so. The extreme level performance.

ARMA III and few select games like that will probably see the i5 gain a performance leap. Probably Metro as well, but with the same GPU of course

where that ssd at?

why are you calling me a liar? Im not calling you a liar for you saying the AMD+760 would be better..

we are both arguing here without showing any facts

the only facts we have here is that the 760gtx is only marginally better than the 660gtx

but we do know the i5-4570 is a wide margin better than any AMD... at any price range
