Also, unrelated note, but I take issue with people saying that referring to a USB storage device as any of "USB" "Pen Drive" "Thumb Drive" "USB Stick" is "non techie" or otherwise ignorant. Those are very widely accepted terms. Same goes for referring to a mobile data allowance as "an amount of 4G/3G/"internet"" that's a common expression, just because you use it doesn't mean you don't know anything about tech.

I spent about 15 minutes trying to explain the "favourites" system in windows file explorer to my mum the other day. She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that [File X] could be both in the favourites section -and- in My Documents/[Subfolder Y] so in the end I just removed the stuff she had accidentally put in it and "fixed it".

this isn't a massively helpful answer but I would say "years". They're not going to fail for a long time, manufacturing defects notwithstanding. Worst you might see for a few years is a fan failing on the GPU or H60, which is an easy enough fix. Pump on the H60 might fail first as well, though from my friends' experiences they're pretty long living as well.

I think ultimately every company above a certain size is only in it for money, and to view them as totally honest and open is opening yourself up to being exploited by them. I'm not saying that's happening with AMD at the moment but just that you should bare it in mind.

No, we need an animated GIF where different squares light up to demonstrate the differences with a 1x1 grid, a 4x4 grid and a 8x8 grid.  All text should be in a large, friendly font too.

thumbs up

I honestly don't want to correct anything.. BUt I'd like to question the D15!
The Noctua D15 is AMAZING, don't get me wrong.
 
But you've chosen one of the biggest aircoolers in a mITX chassi, make sure it fits.
If it fits you're golden

Sorry was going for smallest form factor possible. will readjust and exclude HDD as you have 1. Also see edits to post I made already.

Done.

EDIT: Also note my builds are the only ones to include win10 licences. These are OEM keys from kinguin and are legit. I have 2 on different machines that are in service for over 1 year each. The only drawback is they bind to the motherboard so if you upgrade your motherboard you need a new key, still very good value for £25.

the only thing that i'd change is the motherboard since you have an unlocked cpu and with the actual one, you can't be able to overclock, also the noctua is pretty big and if you're sure that this cooler will fit in that case, then go for it

What about this? Absolute mini powerhouse

Non K CPU because mini itx build and heat issues with the 7700k are bad in any build. Here is Intel's advice "don't overclock your 7700k to keep temps down". I'd liked to have put a R5 1600 in there for you as its a far better option than dropping to an i5 and doesn't have thermal issues. 1080Ti is an upgrade ofc and blower style because mini itx build.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Yes the 1080Ti is very capable of that on ultra settings and so is a 7700. My 6700k was fine at 144Hz, I had a K model yes but kaby lake is faster at stock than skylake.
 
EDIT: To be honest in my personal opinion the difference between 60-100 fps is game changing but I personally don't see any changes over 120. So right now I use a 1440p ultrawide (3440x1440) and my 1070 is able to run that at or near its 100Hz maximum in triple A titles on ultra/high settings. If a 1070 can cope then a 1080Ti can smash it  also my monitor is g-sync which is beautiful and frame drops are far less noticeable because of the adaptive scaling

The 7700 can't be overclocked so yes you should be fine there, noctua coolers are top notch.

Any time  bulldozer was a dark time for AMD  As much as I'm not a big fan of kaby lake or Intel right now its the only way you can go as we don't have Ryzen mItx boards in the UK yet. Still for pure gaming the 7700 will be a big upgrade for you  Any questions I'm on here fairly often (far too much if my employer looks at my internet usage xD)

I don't get it.

Me neither.

i dont get it either?

He wants to show off his epenis about how "successful" he is with his setup.
 
 

what a spoiled brat 

Nostalgic.

There really isn't that much wrong with this remark. The only devices which use that cable are iPads and iPhones basically, and by specifying 6 they're saying they don't want one of the older wide plugs from iPhones before the 4. It isn't technically accurate but unless you're currently sitting a tech exam you don't need to be exact and correct all the time, that isn't the point or reality of speech.
