Roccat are quite generous to do this giveaway. I would be happy to own a Kiro mouse because, the adjustability of the physical design is extremely interesting

Well I was considering upgrading to the 4790k in the future. Would a decent 500w handle that also.

Forgot to tag you in my above question.

Why do you consider the rm to be inferior? I was mostly driven by the silent fan mode. I am building in a define r5. How does the evga 650 g2 compare?

Do those have a hundred dollar silent solution?

Will this have enough power for an i5 4690k, evga 970 SC,and a Samsung 850 Evo? Should I spend the extra 20 and get the rm750?

I don't know a whole lot about audio or microphones, but this looks like a great deal. (It is MassDrop after all) https://www.massdrop.com/buy/large-diaphragm-studio-microphone

With the new information regarding VRAM usage on the GTX 970 do you believe that going with the GTX 980 would be a better option for this build?

did you plug your monitor into the ports on the motherboard or the port on the driverless gpu?

Good Show! Back to topic. Here's a story... My co-workers and I have complained to corporate management that we need a better security camera. Our system was VHS based on a tube style T.V. BUT more importantly the camera it's self is such low res it's ridiculous. So, we finally convinced them to upgrade the security of the shop. All they did was give us an LCD monitor. without upgrading the camera! The video feed is still terrible, and to make matters worse they got a TN panel! We have our monitor mounted above our heads and we are constantly moving around the shop. :Facepalm:

If someone was not planning on overclocking, but still wanted a great motherboard, would the Z97 make sense? Is there a cheaper alternative to a Z97 with similar features, but that doesn't support overclocking?

Well, I selected MSI because, I really like the idea that one fan doesn't spin until under load. Is there a similarly silent 970?

I'm looking to build a gaming PC with my tax returns. I live in NY, USA my max budget is $1,400 but I want to try to stay closer to $1,200. Here's what I've got so far. Don't worry about the lack of storage capacity I just need enough for a boot drive.
