Hope you enjoy your purchase! hi bro. i talk to them and they will change the standard power supply for the thermaltake 850 Watt W0319RU, i hopw with this my pc will be a monster for games. that is what i want. they said that can be overcloaking to 20 percent when i build it. that can be ?

it can be but i think they use the turbo, so normally it will read as the 3 or so ghz, but when all cores are used then it should boost up to the higher speed, i think that's how they do it.
Can you call them and change it to the 3770k one? since it's cheaper and faster. Also it would be better to get the corsair ones not the thermaltake.

i will ask but i think they will not do it. because when i toldabout the power suplly.they say no. but then they write to me and told me that is ok.58 dollar i only have to pay more. and the 3770k. in order to change it i have to change the pc completely , chagne the motherbpoard too.. i think they will not do it. because they told me that they start to building it.
like i told you i want it to games. you told me that with a good video card and enough ram will be good for games. because of that i am good now heheh.. i read in other web page. that 3770k is better and in others one say that 3820 is better. i hope my pc will be a good one.
i will send them an email. and i will tell you what they answer me . about the power supply they first told me that they have the parts and they will start building the pc... because of that i think they will say the same.. and other think that i was reading that the good thing of the xz9 is that the new processor that are coming can you upgrade that motherboard..
yes. that is what i am thinking. this motherboard will support the new processor. and i will wait until next year for the new one and i will upgrade it. and i read that the i7 3820 run pretty good with games. beecause i put 16 giga ram. and the video card amd 7850 hd 2 g ,, and the motherboard ASUS Sabertooth X79 -- 4x SATA 6GB/s, 4x USB 3.0 i think that is enough to play game two years more until the new processorcome. like one wrote before the more important is the video and ram. and i think i have good ones of each.
Honestly, you're just wasting money going for LGA 2011 and X79. The 3770K and a good Z77 board will play games just fine for the next few years no problems. Even an i5 3570K would play the games fine for the next few years. Speak to the guys and see if they can build you a cheaper 3770K + Z77 system if it isn't too much of a hassle for them. It's your call at the end of the day though.
i think your new computer is just fine for what you want it to do plus some. the socket 2011 isnt as cheap, but it is a nice platform, especialy with tha sabertooth board. sure, it may not be as cost effective, but you are going to get a bit more performance since you will be utilizing quad channel memmory, vs the dual channel memmory with a z77 chipset. you will also get to upgrade later down the road, so your covered there, and the sabertooth board should hold up well for its warranty. the ram, i would say 16 gigs is good for tht system. the ram isnt too expensive, so going for 16 gigs now, (4 x 4 gigs), is good since you have a quad channel board, which needs 4 sticks to run properly. if you were to get 8 gigs instead, then you would need to get 4 x 2gig sticks, and i dont think thats a smart investment, since 2 gig sticks, in my opinion, are not wise for upgrade paths. 2 x 8 gig sticks would be ideal, but then you would be only using two sticks, resulting in your baord to run in dual channel mode, defeating the ability of higher performance over the z77 platform. as for the video card, the 670 will be fantastic. it will last you for sometime. and as far as being able to overclock the 3820, its all through the base clock, and turning the multiplyer up on the turbo core. the stock multiplyer i believe is adjustable a little, stock is 36, but i believe the multiplyer stops at 40. so with out changing the base clock you can up this multiplyer to 40 and get 4Ghz. if you want more than you need to up the turbo multiplyer to further your overclock, or change the base clock to 120, or both. either way, it overclocks just as well as the k versions for the most part, its just not as easy as it could be. the power supply,thermaltake, is an alright one, although a corsair or seasonic would be better. but all around, i think you have a gret machine. enjoy it.
thank you. when i recieve the computer i will write here and tell everyone abut it.. i hope this will play games nice ... is what i need hehe. and the thing is that i can upgrade it next year with the new processor. i will wait until. them and i think will run properly. i have the amd 7850 2 giga.. i saw is very good. and one person here told me that is a monster hehe

really the new processors next year are the same processors as the 3770k just with 6 cores and they might make another 4 core which would be the same as the 3820, and the performance difference is around like 5%, we just wanted you to get the best thing you could, but the difference between the 3770 and 3820 is very small. The new-new processors next year that should actually be better and all will require a new motherboard most likely.
ah ok. well i talk to them and they told me that they start to building it. well next time i have to research more . i buy that one because i saw that cost more and i thinked was better. but if the difference is very small. is not going to be problem .. when i recive the pc i will post here and will tel you what about it. they change the power supply to tharmaltake 850 watt. i have to wait 10 days to recieve te pc. thanks for the help.
