What is your video card? R9 260 , 270, 280 , 290, 270X, 280X, 270X?

Dreampoacher1 :

Btw, did you actually build this? Sounds like you just copied what the computer said it had...

Dreampoacher1 · Mar 20, 2014

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I did put it together, Xfx r9 270x

Another very important part you missed is the make and model of the PSU. Also the ram is only running at ddr3 1372 speeds which is kinda slow, ddr3 1600(800mhz) is what i consider the minimum.

That's a fair bit of hardware, do you do a lot of video rendering/editing?
Mind if I ask what that build cost you?

From my novice view, depending on the function, it's the GPU most likely that would be the next thing to upgrade, if your system even ever needed an upgrade. Other than that you'd just be updating with newer versions of what you are already running.

Do you game at all? You say it runs good, I'm curious what you are putting it to work doing

just picked the parts I liked and saw worked together and went from there, started out just wanting a quiet sys, so its a fractal r4 , just about a grand I think

Dreampoacher1 · Mar 20, 2014

Thanx for noticing, I will bump up the mem.

Dreampoacher1 · Mar 20, 2014

Not a hardcore gamer but some, that is about it, was checking benchmark #,s when I was picking out parts, and comments from different forums that people liked.

I never even processed that when I was reading the spec, good eye, teaches me to look out for more when reading specs like this

thanks.

Dreampoacher1 :

I love the look of R4, I'm excited to try out the windowed version, loads of room for a novice like me to dive into and hopefully have a long lasting case.

You have a lot of storage, are you using any RAID configurations at all, or are they just extra storage you found you need for your purpose? Forgive all the questions, I'm simply fascinate.

Dreampoacher1 · Mar 21, 2014

Havent used raid in this sys.,the bigger hard drives are my older ones that I use just for pictures and extra stuff after the ssd starts to fill up. Samsung ssd for system and mushkin for gaming. thanks for all the feed back everyone. I am fascinated with computers, never went to school for it just love "playing" around with them.
