Alright guys
my pc is slowly killing me inside :)
ill have a look at would it would cost (financially and fysically :p) to order a new one online and put it togheter myself or with some friend.
Can anyone help me a bit?
KEEP IN MIND
-ordering the things, they need to go to belgium so be available
-i already got things and they need to fit togheter (USB mouse, USB Keyboard, USB headset, 2 monitors (DO THEY PLUG IN THE NEW PC PARTS? etc...)
-huge fans so it can withstand these summer we had lately
-i would want to do at least 2 years with it
-i dont give a budget yet, cos i dont minding spending money on a pc, but imagine it around 1000 euros (i already got screens and accesories)
cheers for any help, and if i forgot to mention something obvious, let me know :)

water cooling for the cpu i guess is a good idea ..

I think Vega would be a good person to ask tbh

1) Format your PC & reinstall windows for a start, this will fix your crashing issues.
2) Identify the main components already within your PC. (HDD, CPU, MOTHERBOARD, RAM, GPU)
3) Only upgrade what you desperately need. No point in splashing out on a new cpu/motherboard if you already have for instance an i5/i7. No point in buying a brand new SSD drive if you already have one.
Go to:
- Windows start button
- Search for: 'run'
- Type: 'cmd' and then hit enter
- Type: 'dxdiag' and hit enter
- Click: 'Save all Information' (at the bottom right)
- Save it to your desktop
- Open the file you just saved and send me the contents via PM or post it here.
Find out what you have already, then it is possible to recommend an upgrade.

ok.. we'll do it like u said :)
try and format and see what it does.. i can still order new components if needed :)

Multi if im correct your running a 560 ti and an I5 right? Im pretty sure u have the exact same setup as i do.
I dont see any need to upgrade if thats the case, somethings probably on the fritz if the PC is giving you issues, a format is an excellent idea, along with a good clean (reseat the CPU w/ heatsink paste probably a good option)
If anything, maybe upgrade the memory to 8gb if you dont already have 8 and maybe SLI with another 560 ti graphics card or upgrade it altogether (best to upgrade really, less issues that way)
SSD if you dont have one? Those are pretty nifty, especially for speed.
If you have an I5/I7, regardless of the generation, its perfect for your needs. Especially if its a model you can overclock, since you can get another ~1.2ghz out of an I5 pretty fucking easily (about +25% performance if not more) and nothing out there is better atm (upgrading from sandybridge to haswell which is old to new gives tiny performance) even without the overclock on the CPU, they are fine.
Whats the problem with your PC anyway? Im sure your setup is the same as mine (i5/560) so barring some massive hardware failure it should be fine for all the latest games, i know you dont even like modding games like skyrim either so i cant see where it would struggle, you just turn off the anti-aliasing in games and perfect framerates all round ^^
Need more info to troubleshoot what the problems on your PC could be, could be anything :D
So, assuming you DO have the I5/560ti
CPU: Keep it
Motherboard: Keep it, unless its an awful shitty model which i doubt.
GFX: Keep it - Upgrade if you really want to, it would give better framerates / graphics etc but its not really neccessary
Memory: Make sure you have 8gb.
HDD/SDD: Get an SSD, if you already have one, Keep it :P
If you DONT have an I5/560ti.
-Get an I5 CPU/Motherboard setup. With the -k affix if you want to overclock for increased performance (you can get good overclocks pretty easily.)
-Get a nice new smexy GFX card - Again if money isnt an issue, latest gen if you want to save, go last gen. (Most people go for the last gen because of ridiculous pricing on new cards.) Ive been out of the loop on upgrades for a while, someone else can recommend a sexy card. 670 (cheaper) 770 (expensive) or its ATI equivilent (shitty company, dunt buy! xD) seem like solid choices.
-Cooling. Your cooling could be an issue, you can replace all of the fans in your PC with quality ones very cheaply, keeps everything cool and running smoothly. No need for watercooling if your not doing ridiculous overclocking (which, knowing you, will never happen ^_^). A nice aftermarket CPU heatsink is nice though, if you are just using the stock one to begin with. Also, if you have an additional fan slots you're not using, just use them provided you have a decent PSU :P
Or go spend 3k+ euro's on a completely fucktarded unneccessary piece of machinery like this graphics card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-034-PN&groupid=701&catid=1914 EDIT: Holy shit its got 20x the CUDA Cores of my 560.

I think u should consult elliotski when u see it. i have no idea what u said
i understood skyrim :)
we've been doing things to each other and the pc too.. he knows.. HE KNOWS
-
i can build you a new version 2.0 :P sins i already build you the 1.0 version :P
-
sounds like a plan..
when this one gives in, ill come round xD
