Demon_ Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Where did you purchase your stuff? Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.
louisv Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) Most of it at Newegg.ca with some at Amazon.ca, pretty standard for a Canadian geek... I used to shop at NCIX, Tiger Direct.ca and Performance Pc, but almost everything is available at a bunch of places now. A few years back you had to go to specialists to find certain things. Not anymore.

lazduc Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Skylake has a bug that was just announced by Intel. Not sure what the fix will be.

Shogun0 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 I just bought a new system too! Looks very similar to yours, except I got the 980 Ti and the i5-6600k. Got it all together tonight- can't wait to see what DCS looks like coming from a laptop and medium-low settings. VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Carrier Strike Group One | Discord

louisv Posted January 18, 2016 Author Posted January 18, 2016 Skylake has a bug that was just announced by Intel. Not sure what the fix will be. Apparently it can be fixed by a mobo Bios update ! (Phew) MSI already issued a fix (beta) for its Titanium mobo (among others). I guess the next Bios update will have it.

Boberro Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 Wouldn't it be better to wait for new nVidia cards in this year? 980 will be "meh" after Pascal comes out :P Nice setup though, DCS should play @30 FPS with no problem I think :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

Rangi Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 (edited) Great setup, that will run DCS, smooth as silk. I assume you are going to get one of the VR headsets? If not that's a pretty small monitor for such a powerful rig. Maybe my eyes are getting too old, but it would be too small for me. Edit - I just reread the pages and yes you are planning VR so disregard. My eyes are definitely in need of some help....
