You guys realise the GPU in that system is about $1300 worth?

It's actually a pretty bloody good price, although I would never spend that much myself. As Anthony alluded to, law of diminishing returns suggests that spending more than around $1500-$1800 on a PC is pretty much futile.

Its just overkill though. Realistically a 2.4ghz processor 8gb of ram and a 1.4GB graphics card will play EVERYTHING on ultra. Only just at 60FPS but it will do it. These days you can build a pc like that for like $800-$1000. In saying that the 1.4GB cards are getting out dated. Mine is getting old and im going to overclock it soon. But for like $200 for a 2GB card its an easy fix.

You can't just say a specific amount of memory on a card is enough.

You don't know how many monitors, what resolution and other factors that dictate what card is required.

Anyway this is all getting off topic - chat in the chat thread.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
