  3. I will mainly be using the PC for gaming but i will be doing some video editing and 3D work aswell, Suggestions on what Cpu/mobo to get, Preferably intel and red/black mobo's
  4. i think it depends what colour the cables you're lacing are, but yes i understand where you're coming from
  5. Just an idea, but to tidy up the cables you could use Cable lacing, it was on the build log of the week and looks pretty awesome :)
  6.

  7. Also another Kiwi, this is the best example of the Kiwi DIY i have come across, you sir are the god of Custom Built PC's. just amazing.
  8. Looks awesome, quite a big heatsink in a small case, looks like it just fits
  9. Looks amazing, only flaw is the top of the heat sink which could do with a polish :P, na its fine, so clean
  10. I have had a very similar setup, both hardware and monitors etc for about a month and am loving it, enjoy it
  11. even then though it can ruin the components, its uncommon but does happen
  12. Tip for the future, dont put the mobo on the anti static bag, put it on the box next time, otherwise looks great
  13. My Opinion, dont get the pro just get the 840 the pro is a little bit better but for alot more
  14. Ive done some work for both Asus and Corsair so i get 50% off most products for corsair and lifetime warranties for any asus products, therefore i will be keeping the same PSU, cant hurt plus i may get a second GPU later. after looking at the samsung 840 i may switch to it, Ram is 1866Mhz, Basic adobe stuff and 3dvia and art of illusion, and my old machine had an i3 3220 on a Gigabyte ga-b75m with a 500gb hdd
  15. So i am finally upgrading in 3-4 weeks and want your opinions on what i have chosen so far Will be used for Gaming, Video editing and 3D modelling Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth Z87 CPU - Intel I7 4770K CPU heatsink - Corsair h100I Case - Corsair Carbide air 540 GPU - Asus Geforce GTX 780 Ram - Corsair Vengence Pro Silver (2x8) SSD - Corsair Force 240 GB PSU - Corsair AX760I Let me know what you think
  16. Thats got very similar specs to what i want to upgrade too, let me know how she runs
  17. If your wanting to monitor your psu then get the ax 760i otherwise just get a seasonic like Glenwing suggested
  18. That looks amazing, so tempted to get my 600t paint blue
  19. AX860 or ax860i, if you want to monitor your psu go with the 860i otherwise the ax860 will be fine
  20. get the AX860 just incase, its what ive got and it hasnt let me down
  21. I am loving my Roccat Kone XTD, feels great, great specs and looks awesome
