    "Working" in the BIOS when I was younger... Messed up a LOT of stuff.

    If you can choose, go with the 2x GTX980-s. As they run cooler, quieter, consume less power & you get a bit more FPS in action

    If you could get 100$ more, you are set for 1080p gaming. Not on MAX. settings, but it's there. I'm not sure how exactly it would work with the CPU you have, but I'll list the specs. and you see what can you change or add:
     
    MOBO: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0
    CPU: AMD FX-6300 (since you said you have the CPU already, this is just an option, as you WILL have an impact on performance)
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX750 (you also own a GPU, but it's simply not good)
    RAM: Kingston HyperX Beast CL9 DDR3 2x4GB @1600 MHz (CL9 is because it will actually use all the bandwidth)
    HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA050 500GB 7200RPM 
    OPTICAL DRIVE: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE (optional)
    CASE: 520W Blueberry BC-M42-520 (built in PSU)
     
    So, there are your components. You can check them out if you want, get maybe one component, it's your choice. But, believe me, for the money, this is awesome. If you have any questions, be free to ask. Also, another great reason for this build is it's has very very good upgrade potential, and as you collect more money, you can get better components. I hope you will consider some of these at least, as they're really good for the money, especially as a whole system. Good luck with the build

    It's not a bad thing, if they know what they did/clicked, but... The "DOWNLOAD" buttons (ads) on pages, they always replace them with real ones, and just click the biggest and brightest. Happens a lot, so they mostly get viruses, then, when you ask what did you download, click or whatever, they go: ":O Nothiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinggg,I just downloaded this ringtone to my cellphone..." "It says I'm going to get 1000$" and such...

    Let's do the "formal" things first... How I found Linus (and The Crew (not the game))? Simply NCIX. That's it. My favourite series of videos on Linus Tech Tips are Build Guides. And my favourite style of videos on Linus Tech Tips are Unboxings, reviews, build guides & (ofc.) GIVEAWAYS... I mean, who doesn't LOVE giveaways, it's free stuff The product I'd like to see reviewed in the future is some cheap, but good gaming/music headphones (yes, it exists). My favourite "food" are pancakes with Nutella (mmmm) :P :P Now... Let's talk serious... It's gonna be hard, but we'll see... Is there a way to describe what Linus and The Crew (^^) did for me? Of course there isn't, but let's try to do it. When I was a kid, but really... A child, let's say. I was playing outside, running around, doing stupid things, get in a lot of trouble and always, but always, in my parents' eyes, I was the one who started the mess and everything and I always got to learn a lesson... "Don't do that... Don't touch that... Why would you let him get that... Don't ever put your head in that..." It sounds silly, but those were the things that every (I think) child heard. Those were some kind of advices & guidance lines. Back then, I didn't care what someone said, as I was a kid... It's normal... But as I got older I really started to understand all that and other things someone told me as advices. Now, when I'm older (18 btw) I really get all of that and maybe some day (I hope) I'll get to say the same stuff, and more, to my kids (I'm not ready yet, but just saying). Now, why am I saying this? Because Linus and the guys were really a part and a "big" participant in my choice of what I want to do "when I grow up" When I was 5-6 years old I started to "study" about computers and electronics. I knew how to use the computer and do "stuff" on it and I really liked it. I became obsess with it, but not in a bad way... I was just really interested, So, as I grew up I learned more and more and more and more. I became really good at it. I knew that if I choose this there would never be an end to studying and learning because it's a never-stop kind of thing, where every day SOMETHING new is made... And I liked it, accepted with no thinking... Boy, was I RIGHT! Now, I LOVE that and I'm enjoying it, just as I did when I started... I'm still in school ofc. and I can't wait to start working (I hope) what I love, (mainly) PC related stuff... I'm in middle school and doing 3 years of CNC Machines operation and programming stuff (3rd year btw). After I finish this I will have to "upgrade" my skill and pay for extra classes for Computer Technician (I don't know what it's called in America/Canada) so I could have a degree in that too, as I couldn't get in in the beginning. That aside, what does the Linus Media Group has to do with all that? I learned SO MUCH (I can't describe how much) from Linus and the guys, that it's unbelievable. My thing are PCs and that's where I learned the most. Of course the other stuff was super-duper helpful and without that I would just stick with the PC related stuff and that's it. I really didn't want this to be a long (at least I think it's long) text, but it is where it is... I just want to say THANK YOU LINUS and THE CREW! Thank you for everything you have taught me. It really helped me in numerous ways and I can't believe my self that you guys were pretty much the turning point of what I want and will do for a long long long time. I didn't say much about how it all helped, but that's because I just can't explain what you guys did for me. Sorry That's it! I'm sorry for the mistakes (grammar & spelling) and all the quotation marks and the brackets... I hope someone will actually read this mess and understand what I'm trying to say. I love you guys! (no homo) (I'm sorry if someone gets offended) And you said to be creative... so here's a picture (of some sort) I hope you will guys will see this and understand what I'm saying. Also, good luck to all the winners and have fun!
