  1. Yeah I have a 120mm AIO, but I got an h100i, so I'm giving that to him. Left that part out lol
  2. He has a new power supply waiting for the new case. That asrock board is a great price, thanks!
  3. Yep non K. He doesn't need to overclock yet. He's only 13. As far as feautures really just usb3, more than one PCI slot, and 2 ram slots.
  4. My cousin got a dell XPS 8700 a little while ago. Shortly after they threw a PNY 970 in there for gaming. It does well, but the stock cooler just isn't enough. I gave him a 120mm AIO but it won't fit in this dell case. For his coming up birthday, I'm planning to get him a corsair carbide case, and his dad will get him a new motherboard. What's are some good choices to look at for a 4th gen i7-4790 at about $150 or under?
  5. I have an FX-6350 overclocked to 4.2 GHZ. Worth the extra money to go to an 8350? Looking for gaming performance.
  6. Based on what? The nano is around the same price and seems to be higher specs
  7. I currently have an R9 270x 2gb from sapphire. I wanted to upgrade to either an R9 nano or gtx 980 since they are about equal price & performance. Would I be better off buying another 270x for crossfire and saving a bunch of money, or is the performance bump on an old card not even worth it? Any advice appreciated.
  8. I'm either going to 1440 or 4k when I get whatever card, just haven't decided which yet.
  9. I've been overlooking the Nano because I wanted something water cooled. Maybe I need to get over that and get the Nano. Does the Nano have higher or equal performance to the fury?
  10. That's where I get stumped, trying to decide if the higher performance is enough to justify the higher price.
  11. I'm having trouble deciding between the GTX 980TI Hybrid from EVGA ($690 US) and the R9 Fury X ($635 US). Right now I'm running at 1080p but I plan to upgrade with the card to 1440p or 4k. I only want one card so no SLI or Crossfire. Is 4k even worth it with a single one of either of these cards? If not, which seems better for single card 1440. Other considerations are power usage. I have a 500w power supply and am expecting to have to upgrade as well. Any help would be appreciated!
  12. I'm waiting to see if my PC is powerful enough to run it at higher settings than I would get on xbox one. My PC is no slouch, but the game is HUGE and the graphics look incredible, so I'm worried my mid-range GPU can't handle it.
  13. Definitely ODST. I loved the dark city and the kind of hopeless feeling you got in a city by yourself surrounded with enemies. EDIT: Also the countless hours I spent playing firefight, even after it was in Reach and Halo 4.
  14. I think DPI is really just personal preference. I'm not exactly sure what my number is set at, but nearly everyone who uses it says, "Jesus, why is this so sensitive."
  15. I have laughed at this for nearly two minutes now. You sir are my hero.
