A few things I'm not satisfied with:

My motherboard, it's an mATX when I wanted ATX. The reason I got it was because all of the similarly priced ATX motherboards had onboard heatsinks that looked completely retarded.

My keyboard, want dat k70 rgb :(

My fans. The purple LED fans just aren't bright enough, or there aren't enough of them.

My case. While I like the air 540. I wish I had enough money to try some other ones to see if they are better or worse, like the Cosmos 2, Enthoo Primo, Caselabs STH10 with all the bells and whistles, etc.

I wish I had a custom water cooling loop instead of this AIO.

 

As for performance, I'm happy for now, but I want better looks, and we all know better looks = moar power right? :P

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

currently i am not sure because in my head its messy not sure why i think that but when i look at some of the other rigs on the internet damn my rig is tidy also its a bit on the loud side atm so i am getting a new set of fans this week and an SSD i also have i slight bit of coil wine its not to loud that it bothers me and i am not willing to throw a way £250 just because of that and its only a few games that it happens in other than that its ok i guess i would take a pic but i don't have a good camera

I am happy with mine, runs any game on very high-ultra @1080p.

Still need to get either a 21/23" monitor to keep vertical next to my 32" LG Smart shit TV  or get 2 24" monitors and a stand for both

It's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature!

Despite the fact that I don't use half the power of my system 90% of the time, I am always in pursuit of more power, and better parts. 

 

Current build consists of an i7 2600k @ 4.65Ghz

8GB of Vengeance LP 1600

240GB Samsung 840 EVO

1TB Seagate green

Asus Maxiums IV Gene Z 

EVGA GTX 760 SC x2 

Corsair AX 850 

Full EK loop

 

 

Next upgrade on the list is at least 1 GTX 970 (probably 2, with blocks) 

I'm also probably going to rebuild it in a new case, just because I'm board of my current setup. Problem with that is a made the PSU cables to-length, so it means I'll be resleaving the cables with new wires. 

 

 

The quest of an enthusiast is never complete. 

Core i7-2600k @ 4.65Ghz - Asus Maximus IV Gene Z - 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance LP Cerilian Blue - Samsung EVO 840 250GB - Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB - 2x EVGA Geforce GTX 760 SC - Corsair AX850, custom sleaved and length - Silverstone Sugo heavily modified - Full loop with EK blocks and 360 rad, frozenq res.

Mostly yes. I would like to have a quieter system though. But that is a minor concern.

The biggest thing is the monitor. I decided that I don't want a 4k monitor because I thought it is not worth it, but now I saw a U28D590D in real life....I want one....so bad.

I am very happy with my PC :) The only things I want to change is to add a second GTX970 and change that 40" b*tch of a TV for a nice IPS 1440P monitor :) But I have no money...money...money

No. I think I got some bad ram. Also I want a new motherboard so I can SLI but then I'll need a bigger power supply but then I'll have extra power so I'll have to upgrade to a more powerful CPU but then it will be too hot so I'll need liquid cooling but then my case will be too small so I'll need a new case but then I'll have extra room so I'll have to get another GPU for 3 way SLI and so the cycle continues on to infinity.

Still rocking my old AMD 6870 right now since I never have the money to upgrade or when I do something more important comes up... The woes of life... (Wish I was rich or was still some cute little punk with rich parents) :D

i was, until i got a 4k monitor... yeah my cpu is about 4 years old, but its still not a bottleneck in anything i play, and still only about 10% slower than the newest i5s.

 

My main gripe is my GPU and the lack of solutions that can be considered even remotely future proof at 4k even for a year!

 

plus i can never have enough SSD's and mine are all nearing full.. so i need 1 or 2 more and a new gpu(s) before I'm fully happy with it again.

Well at least you get infinity FPS in Grisaia no Kajitsu with that :D

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Not really. I'm quite pleased with its performance, but the peripherals....ugh.. Membrane keyboard, cheap mouse, frankenstein-made speaker set, 5 year old 5:4 TN panel that holds up surprisingly well, but not well enough for my taste. And I need new fans cause things get pretty hot here
