Just make sure to connect the monitors to the video card. Basically plug-and-play.

im being more and more confident about r9 390 after seeing this video too

the guy say that you can even overclock it a little i dont really wanna mess with this unless i dont already have a really smooth experience with stock clocks ^^

also are the i5 CPUs cheaper or more expensive if overclockable? if i understood correcly the 'K' series are overclockable? and not the other?


btw i will know tomorow or maximum monday if i do get the contract for this $$$, if i don't this topic might have been a waste of time unless i get another contract offer soon... but if i did get the contract then this build will start to be built at the end of nov/begining of december :)

also does any one know if the websites that sell parts accept paypall or other payment methods? because my credit card have a limit of 300$ atm (got it when i was a student and i kind of fucked my credit 2-3years ago so i cant expand the credit card limit to 500-1000 im stuck at 300 max)

if they really dont take anything else than credit card im kinda fucked for the parts that cost more than 300CAD (like the GPU and maybe the CPU)

:O

Well, ebay obviously, but otherwise take a look at this

The overclockable ones are more expensive. So if you won't overclock it really becomes a waste of money there.
You really don't need the extra cpu performance, so I wouldn't worry if you can't afford one. The 4460 with a strong gpu will run the witcher 3 at max settings, 60 frames 1080p no problem.

Which city are you in? Canada has a lot of retail computer stores. NCIX and Canada Computers are the bigger stores.

i do not play the witcher or whatever, but idk to me 60fps isnt good.... for exemple on path of exile on my laptop im at 80-90fps when im like in town doing nothing but when i go kill monsters i can drop to 5-40fps

if its 60fps STABLE and never drop under 60fps thats fine but i guess theres 'peaks' where it drops lower...

and im near montreal in canada.... i mean i wouldnt mind going to montreal to pick up pieces it only cost me like 10$ of bus and metro transportation to get there

60 fps is generally regarded as the gold standard for a game. your goal is 60 fps stable most of the time. The witcher is just one of the harder to run games available, so thats why i brought it up. If you can run witcher, you can run most anything :p
Poe isn't that optimized so no matter what hardware you get, you can have problems.

witcher is the new crysis ?

and thanks! apparently neweggs.CA take paypall so ill most likely have to get atleast the GPU there because its way over 300CAD ( think it was like 400-430 last time i checked)

we'll see for the CPU and rest i think cpu was a little under 300 or whatever

but that kinda screw me up if i wanted to get any kind of CPU+MoBo+RAM package deals :/ anyways i didnt know where to look for them (unless neweggs offer those )

Honestly, don't believe the "black friday hype"
The only thing you may find a deal on realistically is a GPU.
Most cpu/mobo/ram combos aren't any better than simply picking out your own. You may get a "better" motherboard in the bundle, but that measure is completely subjective based on your needs from a motherboard.
I would say, 90% of deals are not what you need, and none of them actually occur on black friday, but from the end of october to throughout the entire month of november.
Plus, in canada your chances are worse as they don't have a huge black friday following.

awww okay ^^ anyways i wasnt waiting for the black friday, its just that i will only have the $ to buy the parts near or after the black friday ^^ :P

ill stop having useless hopes about that then ^^ but i still need to buy the GPU from neweggs forsure and ill prolly buy most parts from there exept if they are significally cheaper elsewhere ^^

All computer components will go on sale from different e-tailers. Black Friday is definitely growing in Canada. There is no hype. You could saved quite a bit, but that's up to you.

In a way, you could say Witcher 3 is the new Crysis. As mentioned above, PoE is not optimized.

If you'll be taking the bus, avoid the hassle and buy online. I think Newegg.ca pricematches as well.
