  1. I too would like to know the song there. Is it original from Approaching Nirvana?
  2. AiOs are far easier to use, and have a low likelihood of mistakes. Would this be your first custom loop? It would be a fun experience, though expensive. It totally depends on whether you are satisfied with your current performance. If you are, then liquid cooling would be a fun endeavor, for purely aesthetics. You might have a tough time in that case though. The Core series is not meant for watercooling, though it is certainly doable.
  3. DDR4 is faster and allows for more bandwidth. Your motherboard and entire platform are wholly incompatible with ddr4.
  4. Tap to wake and tap to sleep make it ok
  5. oops! yes. You're right. I'll fix it in my post.
  6. If you can push your budget, I would go for an Oneplus X. If you are stuck at $200, the Zenfone 2 Laser is one of the best options from a performance and price standpoint. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875220031&cm_re=zenfone_2-_-75-220-031-_-Product Nice 1080p screen, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, Snapdragon 615, Android Lollipop (with likely marshmallow update), and a free battery bank at newegg. Can't go wrong.
  7. @WarKittenS It's well under your $600 budget once you factor in rebates, and still under 600 before rebates. This should do a heck of a lot better at 1080p gaming than what you suggested (the r9 380 is pretty beast, esp. once overclocked), and it should feel very snappy due to the 120GB ssd. Install the 120mm fan as a side intake on the case for extra airflow to your graphics card.

  8. This should be pretty decent http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-shfs37a120g
  9. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KJ2qjX It's color matched even better. The white and black ram can be striped, looking even better.
  10. Ehhh... two 660s in sli are pretty good. Maybe wait one more generation.
  11. it's acceptable, but there are better ones for the price and @STARK1 don't expect to overclock much. This might work: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100w10600k3 Here's the jonnyguru review for the 500w version http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&file=print&reid=384
  12. 1st one by far. Better poster material, and will get more attention.
