Thanks for the contest Zotac. I would love to win this sweet little PC. It would allow me to upgrade from my current PC and regain some much needed desk space!

Looking at getting an external amp dac for my computer set up. My mom got me a briefcase for Christmas on a whim that I really don't need and she wants to send it back and let me spend the money on something else. The Fiio E10 is within that budget. Should I get that or find something else and buy myself an o2/odac later? Headphones are Senn hd558s. Use case is music, gaming, and web browsing. Thanks.

So, the people that aren't having strange origin problems are running the game just fine too?

WHHHHAAAAATTTT? That's strange.

So, I thought Crysis 3 was supposed to make my computer cry? It doesn't really seem to be though. I haven't done any playing with a program up to monitor FPS but I haven't noticed any low frame rates myself playing on the highest presets. What are your experiences with the beta? My computer specs for reference. 2600k at 4.8 gigabyte 670 2gOC at stock speeds 8 gig gskill 1600 maximus IV geneZ rev 3 corsair force 3 gt 120g I know my computer is pretty good but I thought Crysis 3 was supposed to tear anything current to shreds?

We need to know what your card is. For example I have a gigabyte 670 2g oc with the windforce 3 cooler. To watercool my 670 I actually need to use a reference 680 block. Their are several other 670s in the same boat. EKs compatibility tool works very well though. Try it out below.

I haven't decided on the case yet as that choice kind of depends on the radiator sizing. For temps I expect them to be a bit better then they are on air but certainly not worse. My 670 is a gigabyte windforce 3 fan and my cpu is currently on a nhd14. I get pretty good temps now but water cooling is just so cool.

replying in support of the HAF XB recomendation

Thanks for the reassurance now I just have to convince myself that I'm not being really stupid and that there really is a reason to want to drop $500 or so to do all of this.

They're noisy in the box?

No problem Aleks

I'm wanting to water cool my gigabyte gtx 670 and my 2600k (4.6ghz without touching the voltage). Since the 670 is a pretty cool running card do you guys think I could get away with doing this with a EX360? I know that a EX360 should be able to just about passively cool the 2600k at that oc so I wouldn't think it would be a real problem by adding in the 670. I would very much like to avoid having to do a dual rad set up.

I bought my wife purple led Xigmatek crystal fans for her computer because that's her favorite color. While she is very happy with them, I hate them with a burning passion. They are VERY loud and not pressure optimized. Good case fans if you are one of those weirdos who doesn't mind the noise but I'll never put one in my rig. Edit: I complained without making a counter recomendation. Since you're looking at crystals, I assume you need to be able to look at and not vomit? That would strike the noctua fans off the list. What color are you looking for, I'll try to help.

Halo, also mass effect 3 does not have controller support and since I played 1 and 2 on my xbox before I sold it and built my first gaming pc a couple years ago I can't bring myself to play it with a keyboard (I'm strange I guess). I may borrow a 360 to play it at some point but as of now I'm just going without.
