Topic: Purchased new custom EpochPosted: 24 Sep 2012 at 4:28pm |

I wanted a replacement for my laptop because of the huge performance difference. I'm trying to run BF3/Skyrim/COD at highest settings with good FPS, and I looked at Digital Storm for help. On a decision between the Epoch and Dreadnought chassis, I picked the Epoch because it was less expensive. I hope it works out, and the reviews for DS seem great! The shipping is also excellent too! I purchased the new PC on 09/22, and it has already reached Stage 5 today. The customer support is friendly, also. I called support and asked about the delivery date, and they gave me an estimate hassle-free.
The specs are below, tell me what you think! System Configuration: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Corsair Carbide 300R (With Window) Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i5 3570K 3.40 GHz (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) (Requires Z77 Motherboard) Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 (Intel Z77 Chipset) (Features Thermal Armor and Thermal Radar) System Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 800W Corsair GS (Dual SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (Model: Black Edition) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB (Includes PhysX) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex 120mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler (High-Performance Edition) H20 Tube Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclocking Graphics Boost: Yes, Overclock the video card(s) as much as possible with complete stability Memory Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory OS Boost: FREE: Yes, Disable and tweak all of the non-crucial services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: FREE: Digital Storm T-Shirt - Black (Small) Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 10-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty I'm psyched to see what happens!
EDIT: I'm using an Asus 23" 1920x1080 LED Display !UPDATE! I reached Stage 6 today in development, I can't believe how fast it was! It says it should arrive by Monday. DS is amazing! !UPDATE! I just reached Stage 7! It should start shipping tomorrow. Yay! Edited by scriptingsoul - 25 Sep 2012 at 5:10pm |

Personally I have not looked at the specs for the 660ti but if gaming on ultra settings in the games that you listed is your goal with good fps then I think this is lacking

There are good reviews out there, and the benchmark says it is capable. You should do a bit research!

Hi scriptingsoul,
Here is a resource where you can compare different cards side by side. I have it set to compare the GTX 660ti to the GTX 680, but you can put any 2 cards in there. |
