@Zhanming12 Hey mate, if its possible under the spoiler for the loop components, would you be able to list the tubing details (brand/type/colour/size) as well as the fittings (type/colour/size), just that I am a watercooling newb and would like to try make this kind of aesthetic for my own personal rig (just the overcooling setup, as its very unique and not a very common look so it is hard to find out what the parts are). Thanks a lot in advance

as JebKerman says it all depends on the chip, it might not even be an unlocked chip that will let you overclock (intel in particular) if it is an intel chip you would need to have a K series chip ie 2600k or 3770k etc for you to be able to apply an overclock. Skylake processors with a bios update *can* allow you to overclock the skylake chips but it is very new and not many people have played with it so you should probably steer clear of that path for now

In the parts list I posted it would be the Gigabyte Radeon R9 390 G1 Gaming 8GB as on their site it is listed at 234mm (9.2126 inches of the 10.5 limit) which is surprising because all the other 390s are fairly long.

The Silverstone Strider 650W Gold ST65F-G is only $10 more expensive then the 500w SFX power supply, it is the 600w SFX that is the more expensive psu overall

Yeah that is why I have the 650w listed for the PSU if using the 390. I know there is a 600W SFX psu but it is about $60 more expensive

Hey guys, I have trawled through this tread as best I can for some answers but it is a bit over the place. I am making a pc for a mate in this case and have some questions, it is a gaming pc but not super hardcore with looking to run at 1440p. Proposed specs: Mobo: MSI H97I AC Mini ITX Motherboard CPU: Intel Core i5 4590 Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60 SE CPU Cooler (push/pull, if possible) Ram: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz Value RAM DDR3 GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 4GB or Gigabyte Radeon R9 390 G1 Gaming 8GB PSU: Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX Power Supply(970) or Silverstone Strider Plus 600W Fully Modular (390) It has to be a wireless mobo as that is what he needs, non k cpu to save some money, same with the ram (the board is only 1600mhz anyway). The hardest part is picking the GPU and respective PSU. The 970 will slot in just fine as its 9.5" (shorter then the 10.5" spec) and would only require the 500w sfx psu and have nice neat flat cables to work with. The 390 having 8gb with vram but having higher power draw would require a 600w+ PSU and the it would be an ATX psu (140mm though). Where I live the 970 and the 390 are the same price, but the same old arguments come into play, the Nvidia cards draw less power so less subsequent head output, where as the amd has a higher heat output in this tiny case (also blower vs aftermarket fans for the gpus in this case?) It is doing my head in trying to pick which would be the best for the future as my friend doesnt just upgrade he will run pcs into the ground then get a new one so It has to be able to last. Any help would be appreciated

Phone looks really great, have been wanting to upgrade to a larger screened phone but was wanting something with front facing speakers . Also really cool that someone sponsored a phone for the give away rather then the company themselves, a very nice gesture and one to surely give them a positive reaction
