It's a more unique setup for sure, mostly due to heat and space management in the chassis. Anyway, one is 230W and the other is 180W. So, yes, the latter is for the GPU, and the other is for the rest.

Thanks. Now... whether to buy Battlefield 1 or Overwatch. The choice is aggravating! #FirstWorldProblems ;)

I dunno man, that looks like a pretty bad deal to me. The power supply units simply.... suck. the case is some weird "gaming" thing so good luck trying to switch them out or anythign else for that matter.

Still hope you'll have fun with it and that it'll last. Just try not to stick anything into those usb ports while gaming or the whole thing will probably melt down.

Actually wasn't there suppose to be a new line of updated graphics cards that are suppose to be coming out, and thus older cards should probably go on discount?

That PSU is way underpowered for a system like that. It's not gonna hold.

No, it's not, assuming that's a good PSU and not one with just numbers written on it. It's a 100W CPU and 150W GPU (that's on heavy loads). The rest barely consume anything.

I love how that motherboard has a lot of usb ports, Kind of wish they was all usb 3.0 and just 2 usb 2.0 for keyboard/mouse. but not bad to be honest and that includes windows 10 and I believe shitty keyboard and mouse.

Go for it it has the power to keep up with games for a long long while.

But just watch out for that psu overtime, Cause if it is those generic shitty brands it will die out in later years from overclocking parts and such. So I recommend getting a corsair to replace it in years time for cheap.

Crysis plays very well; it better, being a nine-year old game. All settings are cranked up to the max and the game runs buttery smooth with my PC breaking no sweat at all (1080P). Oh, and SOMA is pretty fucking cool. It might not have the fanciest graphics, but it makes up for it with a ton of atmosphere.

I guess I won't really be testing out my new comp's true capabilities until I play something newer and more demanding. I'm fairly sure I'll be picking up Witcher 3 (and one of these: Rise of the Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dishonored 2) the next time its on sale. Still debating whether to pick up Battlefield 1 this weekend. I'm not super big on multiplayer most of the time, but I've always had fun with that series.

No, you're right. Assuming it's what I think (it probably is) it's not common. It's not actually new either. No one uses it because it's complicated, doesn't work well, has a high potential to cause damage to hardware, and is potentially dangerous. It's probably not especially dangerous on a pre-built, but everything else is still a given.

It's not recommended and extremely uncommon on retail computers (it is on some server units where they're built that way to increase/reduce power consumption when the load is markedly increased/decreased). I'd never build a personal computer for personal use that way. Besides the fact it's way too much work, it's really easy to mess up since you need risers and have to tie the grounds (there are adapters now e.g. Add2PSU), and if the user wasn't me (ok and me too) they would probably at minimum fry the motherboard and potentially electrocute themselves if they ever tried to upgrade the thing.

The particular PC is severely underpowered, too. You need 500w+ gold to run that card on a good PSU, recommended is 550w. The PC is (hopefully) just going to shut off whenever the GPU hits load or high ambient temps. I can't imagine the fan setup being any good at that size either.

I think it has 2x PSU because it uses one of those newer form factor cases the kids like where it's tough to fit stuff anywhere. Also it's cheaper. It looks like a micro-ATX to me judging from the keyboard size, but that's just hazarding a guess. Could be a mini-ITX. I doubt it though since it would look like a shoebox (otherwise it couldn't fit a full length card).

Admittedly, it's a neat looking case. It'll be difficult to upgrade though. Of that type, the bitfenix ones aren't bad, that's about it. They're not designed for gaming PC's, at least the non-APU variety (they actually work well for those btw).

The specs of that Asus are really weird. I bet it has a U Intel processor.

@mistermumbles post a CPU-Z screen of your system.

Do you meant the Volta line or the Pascal refresh? If the former, it's looking like they won't drop for consumers until 2018. The latter is slated for 2017, but no word on exactly when, as far as I can find out.

This does not look like "PC" at all. It looks like an consol-ish proprietary x86-based computer.

Not sure, I just know back in Jan/Feb they were talking about the updates to hardware designs and how you should hold off because approx in July/August the prices would be vastly different for video cards, something like a fourth the price for the same power.

Nope. Looks like a regular old i7-6700 desktop chip. The CPU benchmark showed at 3.69Ghz.

Benchmark it? Curious to see how my soon-to-be GTX 1070 laptop stacks up against a desktop version.
