    Luxor reacted to DoubleY in Is there any way to resize the interface in Civ 5 so it's not tiny at 4k?   
    Maybe that feature doesn't work at 4K. I know it does a 1080p
     
    Hopefully somebody else can help

    yeah, the other case is very plasticy from what i've seen, i personally love rog series mobos and the 8350 is almost the same as the 3570k but cheaper and the thermaltake cooler isnt really very good

    And drop the DvD Drive, unless you desperately need it [Win can be installed by USB] and ramp up the PSU a little bit.

    Looks good, but depending on your usage scenario, I would say go for an AMD 7950 over the GTX 660. If you want to learn more about the performance of cards in a variety of games, go on Linus' channel and search benchmark showdown. You will see a variety of cards at different price points, and how they perform in certain games. For strictly gaming, AMD cards are hard to beat for their price to performance ratio.
